I'm not sure how necessary this warning ends up being, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

If you ever see a small, white creature, going by the name Incubator or Kyubey, I advice you all not to listen to a word they say. Anything they have to offer is a not worth it and all you would do is fall into their trap.

Especially do not, under any circumstances, accept the contract they offer.

Here is a picture drawn by my friend to show what the creature looks like.

Thank you for your time.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ ... It looked like some sort of stuffed toy.

Was it like one of those 'abnormalities' that Evangeline woman spoke of? ]

What sort of 'contracts' are we talking about here?

[Sadly, Kyubey is cute in many people's opinions.]

A promise to grant you any wish in exchange of becoming a magical girl. That may sound tempting, but you'd be giving away your humanity by doing that.

Any wish?

In exchange in becoming a magical girl-- like those cartoons on tv?

[ Oh.

A terrible image in his head.

Nanako- if some cute little creature like that came to her, saying it would grant her any wish-- ]

[ 'giving away your humanity by doing that' ]

And it targets little girls only?

is that a dragon? or a cat?

[ the dragon association makes sense, he swears, ]

[Homura hasn't really given much thought what Kyubey was, but.]

I suppose it resembles a cat quite closely. In mannerism as well.

Contract?

The thing looks cute, but being vague doesn't really help. Please, explain.

A promise to grant any wish you have in exchange for becoming a magical girl. Becoming one means you lose your humanity.

…what.

[...Not gonna lie, they look like her type...]

How dangerous are they when ignored, and can they be suppressed with physical force?

[Evangeline no.]

They aren't dangerous by themselves. They don't seem to have any other special abilities that would harm normal people. Other than possibly damaging people with their words.

Sadly, they're able to teleport and reproduce a new body once their old one is damaged enough.

Yeah, I kind of figured there must be a reason you didn't just kill them already. So don't talk to it and it's a low threat. If someone does make a contract, does that make them dangerous? The magical girls I know are extremely volatile.

[ sorry for being like this Homura ]

And what do you think they'd say if we asked them about you?

They would likely say I'm making a too big of a fuss about it and claim everything I claim is only natural.

A contract?

They promise to grant any of your wishes for becoming a magical girl in return. But unfortunately, turning into a magical girl is the same as losing your humanity.

[... There are very definitely a great many things he's not about to type right now, but consider them to have been thought very hard in your direction, "akemi."]

Why does it offer these contracts to begin with?

So that the magical girls would fight witches that bring despair into our world. They do this to harvest emotional energy for their uses.

A contract? Like for a job?

A contract to become a magical girl. Technically you could call it a job, defeating monsters called witches.

I take it this is some form of transformation.

What is the nature of their contract?

This is its only form, as far as I am aware.

They grant any wish in exhange of becoming a magical girl to fight witches. However, becoming something like that is going to make one lose their humanity so it's not recommended.

[...She read everything, that there's to read so far, so she's not going to make Homura repeat things again. (hah, as in having to repeat/type/copypaste the same things to people, it's not like she knows about the other thing.)]

So they try to make those contracts happen as often as possible?

They don't seem to offer the contract just to anyone. Only the people they see "potential" in I suppose. But considering the wide variety of people here, I wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot of people with potential here.

Akemi-san, Wow, that creature looks like some kid's ugly soft toy. But I'm guessing that contract is some sort of monkey's paw where it grants your wishes in the worst way possible, right?

[She took the time, then, to scroll over other responses. Who'd even sign up for a shady contract like that? Trading their humanity away for magic, and for getting their wishes granted? Anyone could see that was a terrible idea, couldn't they?

Then again, her mind ended up straying to comments her Father had made. Whispers about the Golden Witch, Beatrice who had blessed their family with 10 tons of gold using her magic... This situation sounded a little like that- or perhaps like using one's own willpower to bring about an impossible miracle, like she was trying to do. That was 'Magic', too, wasn't it?

Haha, would she have the 'potential' to be a Magical Girl, by that logic?

She was making her own miracle come to pass that way, after all. One step at a time...paving the way for a future self who could really sit at the head of the Ushiromiya family despite every resistance her Father and Brothers threw her way.

But she wouldn't call herself something like a 'Magical Girl' because of that. Instead, if it did fit with her own understanding, there was one obvious word that came to mind: ]

If "Magical Girls" are making contracts and using their impossible powers to bring about their miraculous wishes into the world, that sounds more like the work of a Witch to me. Ushiromiya Eva

The wishes it grants come true exactly as you wish them. There is no foul play in that.

[That is about the only thing that Kyubey can be trusted with. The wishes do come true.

That sure is a statement. The thought a concept like that exist in other worlds is definitely something that gives Homura a pause. Magical girls and witches have more in common in other universes, she figures. Well... "more common" is a wrong train of thought, all things considered.]

Going by that description it would make 'Kyubey' the Witch, they are the wish granters. Magical girls are the ones who get their wishes granted and use their powers to fight. These powers are grand, yes, but not omnipotent like the wish granting ability Kyubey has.

[Kyubey being a witch would be a hilarious plot twist.]
