It was near the end of the actual anime series of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, they were engaged in a big fighter against Charlotte's big monster. But soon, things were turning from bad to worse. As the Monster was fighting, it began to feel hungry and made a Bee Line for Mami Tomoe. Mami tried but she got her head bitten off by the monster and fell down dead on the floor.
"MAMI!" yelled the girls. Kyubey acted quickly to make sure that none of the other girls were harmed, he lured the monster out with a piece of cheese. "Here!" he said and grabbed it's attention. The Monster looked at the Cheese. It looked all ready to eat. "You have to come and get it!" said Kyubey and flew of with the cheese. The Monster followed him with the cheese.
Kyubey then put the plate of cheese down a darted off to where the other magic girls were, while the Monster ate the cheese. The other magic girls were all grief stricken at their fallen friend.
"Oh shit...Mami...NOOOOOOO!" screamed Madoka.
"Dammit" groaned Sayaka "She did not deserve this"
"I wish I'd of gotten eaten instead" said Kyoko "Then you would of wished me back to life again"
"It only works once" said Madoka "Mami's already died twice so it won't work again"
"Shit" groaned Kyoko
"You cannot risk your life Kyoko" said Homura firmly "This just goes to show that we are all fucked, come on, lets go...our magic is gonna wear off and we need to take Mami with us"
"Homura's right" said Sayaka "Lets get outta here"
"I'll take Mami" said Madoka "We cannot bring her back to life"
As they retreated the area, with Mami's corpse, the magic totally wore off. Kyubey followed them back to their safe spot, where Madoka lay Mami's headless corpse on the table. There was nothing they could do. Homura was considering quitting the fights. "That goes to show that I am not prepared to risk my life in such a risky situation" she said grouchily "I am not gonna be hunting for witches anymore, I don't want be end up in the same water as Mami. You guys will have to go on without me" The others were horrified.
"But that would mean we are 2 girls down!" protested Sayaka "And what use is Me, Madoka, Kyoko and Kyubey without you?" Homura grunted "No, it's too dangerous, I nearly got eaten myself, and we could all of been fucked"
"Stuff and Nonsense!" spluttered Kyoko "We are not fucked, we are stronger than them witches will ever be!" Homura was not taking any of it "Mami's dead!" she said firmly "WE, ARE, FUCKED, UP, THE, ARSE!" Madoka stepped in. "Don't quit Homura!" she said "We are just going to have to go on without Mami, and your efforts are valuable" Homura gave in. "Fine" she grunted "But I swear to God if another of us goes down, I am out"
The other girls gulped at it. But Homura was not quitting this time. Then they pondered what to do with Mami. "We need to find a funeral director" said Sayaka "We cannot use any more magic on her, we have no choice" Madoka almost cried but then she had to go with it, and she looked in a book for suitable funeral directors. "Ok" she said "Hang on I am finding someone to deal with it" as she scoured through the papers. Then she found the company that was the best to her. "Jacksons of Leamsford funeral directors" based at the town of Leamsford in East Sussex, England.
"That's in Sussex" said Madoka "But they say this company is good, so we should let them see to Mami" The other Magic girls looked at Madoka. "Where is Leamsford?" asked Sayaka. "It's in East Sussex between Eastbourne and Royal Tunbridge Wells" said Madoka. Homura wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Well...if you say so" she replied coldly.
Leamsford is a Market town in the Ryre District of East Sussex, with a population of 25,200 people as of 2011. It is situated between the seaside town of Eastbourne and the Kent Spa resort of Royal Tunbridge Wells and is 40 miles from London. It's the headquarters of Ryre District Council that covers a lot of the surrounding area. It's most prominent sights in the town is the guildhall dating from 1220, the oldest one in England, now a museum, The ruins of it's Norman Castle, that of course was destroyed in the English civil war, The Parish Church of St Stephen dating back from 1110 replacing an earlier Saxon building, the River Ryre that runs through town, and many more. North of the town is the Sussex Plain, along Ryre Valley that cuts through the Wealds with flat fertile farmland and vinyards on the valley slopes. South of the town is the South Downs, popular with walkers. It's served well by transport links, and is one of those 'Primary Destinations' that are highlighted in Green on your roadmap. It has bus services to nearby places like Uckfield, Tunbridge Wells, and more. It has it's own railway station operated by Southern trains on it's own branch line from Brunsbury, a town also in the Ryre District, and a few miles south of Tunbridge Wells. The line used to run to Eastbourne, but it was closed in 1965 due to the Beeching Axe, since then, Leamsford has been a terminus. Unlike a lot of railways in the area, the Leamsford line does not have Third Rail electrification, so Class 171 units are used instead. There are 2 trains per hour to London Bridge via Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge and Redhill. One more thing, Brunsbury and a the nearby villages of Botley, Kirlden and Wyrmtham were part of Kent until 1974, when they became part of the Ryre District in East Sussex. Anyways, enough of that back onto the main storyline.
Madoka phoned up Mark Jackson, the owner of Jackson of Leamsford Funeral Directors. His family had run the business for 3 generations, when his Grandfather had first set it up in 1930 at the tender age of 20 having completed his apprenticeship, 5 years later, Mark's father was born as the world was veering towards WW2. During WW2. Mark's inherited the business from his father when he retired in 2000 at the age of 33, and at that time, his wife Jane, was pregnant with their first child. 2 years later, Mark's grandfather died just a week after his 92nd Birthday, and Mark had to arrange his own Grandfather's funeral. Oh the irony!
Mark picked up the phone. "Hello, Mark Jackson of Jacksons of Leamsford Funeral Directors, how can I help?" he asked over the phone. Madoka replied "Hello, it's Madoka Kaname, can you help us please Mark?" Mark replied "What Can I do for you?" Madoka explained "Our great friend Mami Tomoe has been killed, and I've been looking for funeral directors and you were recommended" Mark smiled at Madoka saying that he was recommended "Oh thank you" he said "So, as far as you know Madoka, how did Mami die?" Madoka explained it all.
"Holy shit!" exclaimed Mark "I've dealt with Road killed people, but someone half consumed by a monster...I feel like I'm gonna throw up!" Mark Choked and gulped, and swallowed the stomach contents back down into his stomach before he vomited it out. He carried on "So, would you like to arrange a funeral then" he asked. "Yes Please" replied Madoka. "We will come over to Leamsford with her body, there you can sort things out"
"Okay" replied Mark "I'll see what I can do, I'll see you when you arrive, good luck" and then he put the phone down.
Madoka turned to the other girls. "Mark is going to sort us out" she said "We need to go to Leamsford with Mami's body, and we to find him" Homura looked at Madoka "What is his adress" she asked "It's 20 Woodfield Road" replied Madoka. "Now lets get over there and let him sort Mami out" The other girls agreed
Meanwhile, Mark made a date for the Funeral, 24th April 2012. He phoned Melanie Jones, the Vicar of St Stephen's, yes, a lady vicar. "Ah...no sorry" replied Reverend Melanie "We have a wedding on on that day, but I could arrange the funeral for the 25th if you want Mark" Mark replied "No, I arranged it for the 24th, no problem Mel, but if St Paul's is taken, I'll get back to you" "Okay" replied Reverend Melanie "No worries Mark, but we'd have to change the church over quickly. But that won't be too much of a problem. I think Reverend Jim is back from his holiday, so you should be able to get to him, if not, get back to me, cheers Mark" and she put the phone down. Mark accepted Reverend Melanie's offer if St Paul's was engaged on the 24th.
Mark phoned Jim Williams, the Vicar of St Paul's church. "Yes, we have nothing happening on the 24th" Replied Reverend Jim "It is all good to go, there should not be a problem with that Mark" "Thanks Jim" replied Mark after the conversation "You're a good'un" and he put the phone down. He then had to wait until Madoka arrived with Mami's corpse.
Reverend Jim spoke to Kevin Clark, the Churchwarden at St Paul's, and he was okay with it. "We need to phone Dave" he said.
Authors' notes:
Pardon my inaccuracies, I've not watch Puelli Magi Magica Madoka yet, only just learning about it.
Leamsford is not a real place, as you probably figured out. It is however on a route I am making on Train Simulator 2015, remaking the Branch Line from Brunsbury to Leamsford, Operated currently by Southern Trains
Leamsford is also the administrative centre of Ryre District Council, again, that is not real, In real life, it's area would be parts of the Rother and Wealden districts. Brunsbury is the second largest town in the district with a population of 13,72, followed by 2 small towns of Sledbridge and Whorleigh, both with populations of 3,400 and 2,200, however, Worleigh is the only town in the district not to be served by a railway, as it was on the Leamsford to Eastbourne railway that closed in 1965. The total district population is around 70,000. However, Wadhurst remains in the Rother district just on the border with the Ryre, the villages to the north east that really are in Rother, like Frant and surrounding villages are part of the Ryre.
As previously mentioned, Brunsbury, Botley, Kirlden and Wyrmtham were part of Kent until the local government redrawing of the borders, they were transferred to East Sussex in the Ryre district.
The town's name is pronounced 'lehmz-ford' in the same manner as Leamington Spa, with the ea said like lemon, not 'leemz-ford' or Lee, hope I cleared it up.
I have been to East Sussex while on Holiday to Kent in 2007, and visited Tunbridge Wells.
Mark Jackson was born on the same day as the late Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, 20th February 1967. Also, Stephen Lister, Organist at St Stephen's was born on the same day as both of them as well.
