[h2]Kirisame Marisa - Academy City[/h2]

Marisa weakly turned, as Touma approached from behind, sitting on her knees and holding her forehead, still rather teary-eyed. Hitting the ground like that [i]hurt[/i], her forehead was still throbbing and by the time she realized what the boy was doing it was too late. Her hat had already been lifted from her head.

The blonde witch thought she heard some sort of strange sound, and then the tiny girl fell from her hat as it was lifted up at the boy looked inside. In spite of the slowly-fading pain in her skull, the girl immediately reached out to snatch her and pull her away. Both so she could keep a hold on her... and to protect her from what she had guessed was about to happen. It was a long shot, but if it had shut off her broom like that...!

There was a steady rumbling sound... and all at once, everything Marisa had stored in her hat came spewing out, rocketing towards Touma in a torrent of stolen goods. Well, some not-so-stolen. The manga was all hers, but there was a plethora of books, necklaces, clothing, sheathed weaponry, charms, mushrooms, money, small statues, a painting... all of it was of dubious ownership, and all of it came rocketing at Touma as the pocket dimension inside of Marisa's hat briefly ceased to function.

Holding the tiny carefully in one hand to avoid harming her, Marisa stared as her hat metaphorically(and in the case of some items, literally) unleashed hell upon the boy.

"... It's... it's going to take forever to get all that back inside!"

[h2]Outside Castle Tepes[/h2]

"... Is... is the castle too dirty... Is... is it badly-decorated...?"

The maid seemed unable to comprehend why anyone wouldn't want to spend time in the Castle. Indeed, it was difficult for her to imagine. She practically existed in the name of caring for the Queen's Home, so the idea of it somehow being an unpleasant place to be was a rather distressing notion for her. She trembled, staring up at Gintoki with wide eyes that seemed on the verge of tearing up.

"F-fine... I-I'll.. go and get you some water..."

With a rather dejected expression and a down-turned gaze, she turned to shuffle back to the house.

[h2]The Kitchens[/h2]

The maid, unsure of how to take the comment, rubbed the back of her head awkwardly before continuing.

Admittedly, the man's outlandish pizza-forming strategies had resulting in a rather impressive-looking dish, but she was not sure why he had felt the need to crash through the roof in order to create such a meal. Granted, repairs would be easy to complete, but still... It was a hard subject to approach, especially with all the other strange newcomers who had appeared.

"Are... any of you with the you-em-em-ay?" she asked, "... It's... just that you appeared so suddenly, and, well... the only other foreigners we know of are planning on something rather unpleasant..."

She wasn't sure how else to describe people from another dimension. That was just about as foreign as you could get, wasn't it? 

[h2]The School[/h2]

The girl sighed as she began to follow the man with the white-haired girl.

"For some reason, the both of you have been taken from your home worlds," she continued, the cape gently swishing around her as she moved. "I'm from an organization, er... a band of like-minded individuals known as the United Multiversal Moderation Agency. We exist in order to provide protection to those who need it, though only if the desire our assistance. However, in this case, this was a world with interference from another, and so I was sent to see what was going on."

[h2]Black Rock Shooter - Client World 576143290-B[/h2]

Black Rock Shooter briefly glanced over her shoulder to look at Suwako as she departed, before her eyes swiftly returned to the console and she watched as Mikoto made her selection. There was no way of knowing what world this would lead to, but...

The console's screen shifted, depicting the location called 'Pensee'. It was a rather pleasant-looking village, it seemed. A button beneath the picture simply said 'Initialize?'

The girl stared at the duplicate for a moment, then lookd back to Suwako and clapped softly. "That must be using divinity to manipulate the earth, right?!"

That was strange. How did she know something like that? Locked up in a metal coffin and all, how could she learn that sort of thing?
