The fire cracked silently as four girls sat around it. The night was silent, only a small wind and the rustling of grass and leaves to fill the ears. One of the girls spoke up suddenly: '"Have you children heard the tale of Kyuubee?" Hearing no replies, the girl continued, "You see, in the center of the Labyrinth, stands the Garden. Many have tried to reach it, and almost all of them have failed. Their ambitions were mountains of cheese and gold, and anything else their greedy minds could think of. But their ideas had a reason; they all had heard and tried to get to the place most sacred for the Witches."

"They all tried to get to the Wish Granter - a being, or a place, only God knows what it is, in the Labyrinth, that can grant you your wildest wishes! Mountains of apples, eternal glory, fame, hills of money, immortality - everything. Possibilities a Puella Magi couldn't spend in a lifetime! All the Wish Granter asks in return is a small payment, but what it is, children, I'll leave you to find out."

In the morning, the elderly Puella Magi had left, leaving nothing but an echo from the story. Mami, Homura and Kyouko would never see the girl again.

Such is life in Boundary.

Have an internet, Blood.

Magical girls are the most serious business.

Assume Incubators are trying to sustain the entire universe using the misery of little girls. According to data gathered by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotrophy Probe (WMAP), energy density of the universe comes down to roughly 9.9 x 10^-30 g/cm3, or 0,889767627 joules/km^3. The expansion rate of the universe, again as determined by WMAP observations is roughly 71.9 (km/s)/Mpc, ignoring other studies. The minimum radius of the universe, as determined by cosmic microwave background radiation data, is 12 gigaparsecs. Consequently, the universe gains at least 862800 kilometers of radius per second, which comes down to a volume gain of 1.48656647 × 10^54 kilometers cubed per second.

Thus, in order to maintain the energy density of the universe (admittedly, though, there are better ways to preserve life) 1.32269872 × 10^54 joules is required every second. Let us use high estimates and say that there is one magical girl for every 1,000 people. As of now, there are roughly 6,9 billion living people, so there are 6,900,000 magical girls across the world. Assume that every magical girl defeats a witch every two days, and hands over her Grief Seed to an Incubator for its energy to be collected. This comes down to roughly 40 witches being defeated every second. Therefore, if the energy density of the universe is to be maintained, every Grief Seed needs to have an energy output of at least 3.31249766 × 10^52 joules. What can you do with this sort of energy?

a. Supply the Earth's energy needs for roughly 8,6 octillion years, a timespan 6,2802117 × 10^17 times the current age of the universe.
b. Create 3,68565071 × 10^35 kilograms of any matter (except cheese.) This comes down to about 184027 sun-sized stars, 61 billion Earth-sized planets or a single supermassive black hole with a radius of 547298,036 kilometers, roughly 1,4 times the distance between Earth and the Moon.
c. In a single year, enough energy is collected to create roughly 10 galaxies the size of our Milky Way.
d. Create a single explosion a few hundred thousand times stronger than any gamma ray burst we've observed so far. This would end most, if not all life (at least carbon-based life as we know it) pretty much everywhere from Earth to Andromeda galaxy.

In conclusion, magical girls are fucking terrifying.

Ah, wish granter, I remember this piece of shit....go ahead, make a secret wish, you will not regret it...

Holy Shit, Heparine. You and Blood both deserve internets. In fact, take two each.

The text says something like, "Make a contract with me and become a Monosos." I don't know what "Monosos" (モノソス) is supposed to be, and I'm not finding it in (an admittedly cursory) scan of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. wiki—assuming it's even a term from that game. A general web search of the word in katakana doesn't turn up anything I can use as a definition either.

Bad handwriting strikes again! That's モノリス.

I believe it's "monolith" (モノリス - monorisu)
The syllable "リ" (ri) looks like "ソ" (so)
So, the text should say "Make a contract with me and become a Monolithian!" (with "monolithian" being a member of the religious cult of the Monolith, which worship the Wish Granter: http://stalker.wikia.com/wiki/Monolith)

The text the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. saying might be "I Want to be rich"

Yes, that's pretty much the point of the image.
All S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Monolith endings are the Monkey's Paw all over again.

Well, nuts. I fail at handwriting analysis. And it's not as if I've never encountered that poor handwriting slip before.

And thank you for clarifying that.
