_{[When the feed comes on a white little paw pulls back from the camera, showing a rather pleased looking Kyubey (well, as pleased as he always seemed to look), curled around a Pillsbury cookie dough container. Held between his paws it seems as if he's chewed the top of the wrapper off, one paw dirtied with cookie dough that he's certainly been licking it off from. He seems to be outside, laying in a patch of clover.]}

How many of you believe in the concept of luck?

_{[He seems to pause to try and fish out more dough, licking it from his paw once he succeeds.]}

The shamrock is a symbol of luck and has been for countless centuries.

_{[And he seems to release the container out of his grasp only to sit up, shake himself off and paw at the ground, plucking a rather large shamrock with four leaves (how lucky) out with tiny little teeth. Sitting back on his hind legs he takes it between his paws, ear twitching slightly.]}

People are superstitious and believe things will bring them luck, just like this shamrock. But it's nothing more than a plant. It isn't special at all in that regard. _{[And just for good measure he pops it past his unmoving little mouth, chewing and swallowing it with a tiny gulp.]}

Luck itself doesn't exist. Everything that happens in the Universe is based on various measures of chance and probability and the interaction between various causes and effects. Even so, people still choose to believe in such primitive concepts. It makes them feel better, I guess.

Even so, who feels lucky today? What is it like to feel lucky? Would you feel lucky if you had the chance to have any wish of yours fulfilled? Because I can do that. Almost any wish at all and I can grant it. Would you like me to?

Do you feel lucky now?

[s c r e a m i n g]

I think a lot of people feel lucky enough!

[inkyubeytor]

Today I saw a man crying because he lost his wallet and was cursing his luck.

I don't think he felt very lucky.

voice;

[motioned]

I'm sure he'll feel better soon! Most people can get happier without help.

[tinyvampiregod]

Hoh, usually offers like this come with a price. I wonder what yours is.

voice;

[inkyubeytor]

That's not true. Some people who suffer from depression or suicidal tendencies end up spiraling into despair and end their lives one way or another without help.

_[Pause.]

And that's even without the influence of a Witch's kiss.

[inkyubeytor]

A contract! But the terms are simple enough.

[tinyvampiregod]

Which are?

[inkyubeytor]

In exchange for the grant of a wish, the individual in question must form a contract with me to become a Puella Magi.

voice;

[motioned]

[Paaaause. That was uncalled for, okay.]

Then shouldn't they be getting help from the right places?

[tinyvampiregod]

And what is a Puella Magi.

[Not interested in a contract. But he thinks you would make a nice pet. Here, kitty, kitty.]

[inkyubeytor]

_{[Will you buy him Happy Meals?]}

A Puella Magi is essentially a Warrior who fights against Witches. Not fairytale witches or people who have mastered the ability to use magic, but actual monsters.

[cowboycop]

Hoo-wee, if you didn't steal that from a good ol' Western flick. [Jake seems fairly amused by that, though.]

Hate to say it, whatever you are, but I'm pretty sure luck exists.

[tinyvampiregod]

[He doesn't know what a Happy meal is, but sure. All the Happy Meals.]

Tch. I already do.

[inkyubeytor]

A what?

You are allowed to believe whatever you wish, but you're wrong.

[inkyubeytor]

These are different.

voice;

[inkyubeytor]

Do you feel unlucky today, Ahiru?

[tinyvampiregod]

What are you? [Besides FLUFFY.]

[inkyubeytor]

My name is Kyubey! I'm an Incubator - an extraterrestrial being.

[cowboycop]

Western flick. A movin' picture. Y'know, "Dirty Harry". [Jake leans forward a bit and puts on his best Clint Eastwood impersonation.]

"I know what you're thinking... did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a forty-four Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?!"

[After a slight pause for dramatic effect, Jake leans back in his chair, places his hands behind his head and props his boots up on the table.]

Well, I've dodged enough bullets to know that a cop's got some luck in 'em. Sure, yer luck'll run out eventually, but it's still there.

[summing_it_up]

I use to not feel lucky. Like. I don't know - forever?

...But lately? Well. I'm not really sure.

voice;

[motioned]

I'm fine.

[inkyubeytor]

What made you feel differently?

[tinyvampiregod]

An alien?

Mm. I wonder what you taste like.

[summing_it_up]

Knowing that I actually do have some things to look forward to, I guess. I mean, there's a lot I didn't expect that would turn out so...good.

[inkyubeytor]

So you have been informed of future events then.
