Oh, it's quite alright! I'm sure there is much more data I can collect from you.
[ hm, bad. ]
Not always. Only elemental princesses have access to magical abilities -- through a connection to their kingdom's runestone. My kingdom doesn't have a runestone, so I don't have elemental powers.
[ she has magic hair somehow though, figure that one out??? ]
However, that does seem like something that would be troubling, emotionally speaking. And physiologically, as souls, if they exist, are meant to stay within the body.
Yes, that's right. For a lot of girls, finding out that their bodies were - like shells... Was their breaking point.
[ it's a difficult subject, but Madoka doesn't exactly hate talking about it. it's a little better than getting into her own direct history. this is just general information.

But still, it's good to know! I think it still deserves respect.
no subject
[ but enough about her. ]
Say, why is it that your statue is different from your current appearance? Did you cut your hair?
no subject
[ but she wants to hear more about Entrapta!! ]
... What do you mean by an "anomaly?"
no subject
Oh! Powers! Tell me more about that!
no subject
U-um, well. I'm a magical girl. So I can usually transform, and summon my bow and magic arrows... Things like that?
no subject
Are you sure you're not a princess? That skillset sounds very princesslike!
no subject
no subject
I only wish you had your powers right now so that I could further study you!
no subject
[ even with magic, it's rules aren't always exactly. clear. ]
So princesses are just always magic where you're from?

[ how's this for data!! Madoka is trying to be helpful... so she takes her soul gem out of her pocket. ]
Usually, anyway.
no subject
OH I LIKE THAT THING VERY MUCH, MAY I SEE IT?
no subject
[ but Madoka knows she's power-nerfed, so it's not nearly as important to keep it safe as it usually would be, so she hands it over. ]
no subject
[ just examining it and sciencebabbling to herself..... ]
Can we go back to the lab?
no subject
no subject
How did you come across this?
[ madoka can definitely grill her about her backstory after this, she earned it. ]
no subject
It's a soul gem.
no subject
no subject
[ it is, very literally, her soul in a gem. ]
That way your body can be damaged without killing you, and the pain can be numbed out, too.
no subject
[ god she's the worst, sorry, madoka. ]
However, that does seem like something that would be troubling, emotionally speaking. And physiologically, as souls, if they exist, are meant to stay within the body.

[ entrapta is such a bad person to have this conversation with. ]
So, if your powers are gone, does that mean your soul is in its normal place?
no subject
[ it's a difficult subject, but Madoka doesn't exactly hate talking about it. it's a little better than getting into her own direct history. this is just general information.
she nods. ]
... Right now, my soul in this body.
no subject
[ me voice: cola explain madoka magica to the science gremlin. ]
Oh, good! It should stay in there. Even after the competition.
no subject
[ ..... a longer pause. ]
Most girls get tricked into it. I did it because I had the power to change something that needed changing - and no one else could do it.
