Pretty basic concept here, sometimes teenage girls have magic powers for fighting evil (or doing evil if that's how they roll) and that's just how it is. Usually it's a secret but maybe it's not?? Maybe there are also ways to get magic that don't require you to be a girl.

Who knows, it's up to you, this is a loose-concept/AU meme! Just warn for your violence/existential horror/embarrassing teenage sexual tension in the subject lines.

1. First Transformation: Surprise, you've got magic powers! And they come with a costume that you… probably like? Maybe you don't, I don't know your life.

2. Into Battle: Possibly connected to that last prompt, oh dang, there’s some kind of monster or something. Whether you’re new at this or not, you might wanna fight that before it wreaks too much havoc.

3. Confrontation: Those monsters (or disasters, or brainwashed minions, or whatever) have to be coming from somewhere. Whether it's the first time or the fiftieth, it's time for the hero(es) to come face to face with their nemesis.

4. Prep Time: Teams, whether they're good or evil, tend to work better if they have some kind of a game plan. Or maybe you can't predict your opponent's next move so you're just doing some team-building exercises, who knows.

5. Hostage Situation: Someone's been captured! Maybe the villains have taken a heroic magical girl prisoner, maybe the good guys have siccessfully captured one of their opponents, or maybe you're just a bystander/non-magical ally/love interest who… may or may not know why you've been kidnapped. It's a little awkward, but maybe this could be a good chance to talk.

6. Slice of Life: Not even magical girls can fight all the time, alright - but there's always a risk of worlds colliding. Maybe you're getting some well-deserved downtime, trying to go on a date, or just going to school like a normal teen. And… well, time will tell if it stays normal.

7. The Secret Come Out: You probably hoped this day wouldn't come (unless you were actually kind of hoping it would, like a weirdo), but here it is. Someone's found out who you are. Is it worse if they're a loved one or just some rando, who knows!

8. Wildcard: I can't tell you how to live your life, do what you want!

"It looked like a table..."

Ah. They just happened to see someone using change to pay for fast food...

"I don't know, Bloom was the one who saw the number....we just know the number should be the number that you see..!"

This doesn't have to be your responsibility Ginko

You can walk away,

It doesn't, and she should. And yet.

Ginko lets out a breath, and, after more digging in her wallet, pulls out a handful of coins and a couple more bills. "Okay. Here's the thing. Coins have different values, as do bills - like the one I tried to give you. The two values we use here are dollars and cents. One dollar is one hundred cents. Got it?"

"...One hundred...?" The Witch has a look that says That Sounds Fake.

Pilot just looks afraid. "We have to have a hundred coins just to make 'one'!?! We'll be looking forever..!! Why do people use things like that?"

Who knows, Commercialism just kinda Is,

Unfortunately that's how North American currency be. Ginko presses her lips together and stifles a sigh before continuing.

"Not necessarily. One of these is one cent." She shuffles the coins in her hand to show them a penny. "The others have other values. But, you're right - you'll need a lot fewer if you use bills."

She holds up the twenty from before. "This is worth twenty dollars. Your friend said you needed 'fifteen', right? There'll probably be tax that adds a little more to the cost, but, if you use this, you'll have some left over - though I'm not sure, come to think of it, how you all are planning on going about buying anything if you won't let anyone help you."

"Fifteen? What does she need Fifteen for?"

"I don't know, mine said forty, for a big warm thing..."

Ah, but yes-

"If we just put the money there and take the thing, it works just the same doesn't it?"

They look so proud to be Wrong.

Wow, this just... keeps getting worse? Great.

"...Fifteen was for food. I dunno if I can give you forty on top of that, but if you can settle for something cheaper for now I might be able to give you an extra twenty..." She frowns into her wallet. Boy this is wiping her out.

"And, no, that's absolutely not the same. Businesses need to be able to keep track of their sales, so something like that could get the employees in trouble. Especially if you're only leaving a handful of coins for something worth forty dollars."

"Do you think something that's only 'twenty' will be warm enough...?"

Boy they sure are ignoring that last bit.

"Maybe...?"

There is a shrill shriek from behind the group. "What! What are you doing!" THE FLOWER IS BACK THE FLOWER IS BACK

Well, shit. Ginko looks toward the source of the shrieking, apparently unbothered besides a brief, irritated quirk to one eyebrow.

"Could you calm down for a couple minutes? I'm not going to turn you in or anything." Jeez.

"Calm down..!? The more any of us talk to you, or even have you near, the more we risk losing everything..!! Shoo!! Shoo!!" Because that'll work right,

Ginko's eye narrows, and, rather than leaving, she leans toward Bloom.

"Listen, I understand that you're trying to keep her safe, but this is not how to do it. This is a public park, anyone can come here. You couldn't keep hidden from a high schooler here - literally, I just followed you here with no problem, let alone someone as powerful as you're apparently trying to hide from. You need help."

"Bloom-"

"We'll decide that then..!" she harshly cuts back. "So leave us!! Right now!"

The other two look to each other, and then to Ginko. It might be best to just even hide somewhere to avoid Blooms ire, best they can tell...

"You'd better, because so far you're not showing any goddamn sign of deciding anything except that a playground is a safe shelter."

Okay, yeah, this is getting her nowhere. She stuffs the coins back into her wallet, keeping out a twenty dollar bill, then grabs a couple tens and shoves them all at... the familiars that aren't Bloom. Just, their general direction.

"Forty dollars. Get her some food and water, find a cheap blanket, it'll be better than nothing. Plan ahead before buying things. Got it?"

She can't convince them to trust her, but she can absolutely lecture them about fiscal responsibility.

"What- Paper?!"

The other two hurriedly gather the funds and then 'gently' try to usher the girl away. "Thank you!!!"

"We'll try to make sure you don't get caught by Her!!" Hollow Gratitude, but they're sincere at least.

Once she's handed over the money, Ginko doesn't take much urging to leave. She backs off, then turns to walk away with a small wave. "I appreciate the, uh... help. Good luck."

As soon as she's out of sight of the playground, she pulls out her phone and opens up her contacts. Whatever she said, she can't leave this alone; these people need help, preferably from trustworthy adults who know what's going on here. Which only leaves her one real option, and that starts with calling Frisk.
