Bella wakes up in the hospital.
She is not critically low on gem clarity, so she has the next two hours to herself to think as long as she doesn't make noise, which she doesn't, and foxes all the monitors attached to her real quick before they beep, which she does; she could go out the window but she has no plans for this loop which require her to skip town. She clicks her heels together and gets into her costume and pulls out a notebook to organize her itinerary.
Well, you are probably way too old to become a magical girl.
Year's three hundred sixty five days, and you can't make a wish past age eighteen, something about girls under that age having more fuel-grade emotions for the evil aliens or something. It's always girls, too. But it might be different for your species? If you can even be potentiated relevantly at all.
Are you currently an adolescent or an adult for a - demigod demiwhateverelse?
I'm the only one. But probably an adult. Elves are fully grown at a hundred and Maiar don't have maturation exactly and are all as old as the world.
Then you are likely too old to become a magical girl yourself unless something species-specific is going on. I'm assuming if you bothered to write a happiness song your people do normally have emotions, though, so be on the lookout for fluffy white telepaths yea big with unblinking red eyes who want you to make a wish, just in case.
Okay. I've never heard of them but it could just be they can't get into Doriath, most things can't get into Doriath and evil things especially can't.
"Evil" is really an oversimplification. And most people can't see them. I'm not sure if any puella magi or potential can, or if they can be selective, or selective with potentials but not actives - I have to be a little careful what questions I ask them. They don't lie, or even refuse to answer questions, but sometimes they get an idea of what my deal is and then I have to reset in a hurry.
Well, there I was, watching it end. And I still had my wish. I'd been dithering for the whole month about what to wish - it can't be literally anything, people have different amounts of potential and mine was midgrade, I couldn't cure cancer or anything - and I wished I could go back and try again. Next thing I knew I was in the hospital in suspiciously good health for having been hit by a van.
Cancer? The person you're going to ask to wish for me to stay in the time loop, what potential does she have?
Cancer's a disease. She's got about my level of potential so I'm pretty sure she can pull it off.
Oh. We don't have disease in Doriath either. Are we leaving right away or can I hang out with these trees for a while?
We don't need to be in a huge hurry but should get back on the road within the hour, especially since I'll want to stop for lunch. Doriath sounds... different.
Very different, and I've never left it. I can't usually even leave Menegroth without an escort. This is a bit overwhelming.
She walks over to a tree, throws her arms around it, and starts humming to it.
Making it healthier? After a hundred years I would know it well enough it could warn me of coming intruders or something, but that's not very useful with one forest that's not even on the borders of your kingdom, and I don't have a hundred years for it anyway, it's just habit. And comforting.
...how would a tree warn you of intruders? Also this isn't a kingdom, it's a democracy.
I can send you the sensation that the trees were sending me when the snake thing that sent me here landed in the forest? And what's a democracy?
Adult citizens vote on people to assume executive and other roles in the government for specified terms of office, majority rules. I'm mostly wondering how, since a tree doesn't have any senses let alone discriminatory power, it could serve as a warning system.
Well, I suppose it's possible that the trees in Doriath are a different kind but I think if I worked with this forest for a hundred years it'd do just fine...
They don't even have nervous systems! Are you making trees sentient? That sounds like a terrible idea.
The trees in Doriath don't turn into Ents if you care for them enough, they just learn to communicate to you what they need, like if they're sick or injured, and what you need, like if there's danger.
I don't know what an Ent is. Am I not successfully communicating the nature of my confusion?
