[ those hanging around the station at this time of day may be lucky enough to notice a small teenaged girl standing on the platform. she looks confused, as most new arrivals do, but she seems to be less concerned with her surroundings than she is with well... herself. her floor-length hair, golden eyes and long dress may look out of place on a girl her age, but it's not so much that that concerns her; it's only that it has been a long time since Madoka Kaname was really present in the way most people think of, and suddenly having a body again is.... well, novel. and something of a sensory overload.

really, she would like to know how she has been pulled here - wherever here is, because it feels familiar and not at the same time in a way she can't describe, in the way that most things do to her - and why. but that can wait. for now, she's just marvelling at her own hands with a sort of childlike innocence. ]



[ on the other hand, those watching the network may notice the following message coming through on their screens: ]

Hello? [ she sounds cheerful enough, if still rather confused. ] My name's Madoka, and I'm afraid I'm new here. This place is called Ruby City, right? I saw it on the flyers you've got up around the station. I'm still not really sure how I got here, since it's been a while since I was on a train. But I was wondering if someone could tell me more about what's going on, if that's okay.

[ she pauses for a moment, one hand lifting to her hair. sounding a little sheepish, she adds with a small laugh: ] And, if someone could tell me where I could find a haircut or a change of clothes, that might be good, too.
