Even intimidating-looking cryptids are rarely dangerous, especially to magical girls, so when Dusk finds a giant snake with a mirror for a face in the park at half past midnight, she's not too worried.
She hasn't had a chance to see if her telepathy works with cryptids, yet, so she tries it, sending a friendly greeting - and she's promptly eaten. How rude.
Yeah, Julie is a coast paladin, they're the magical girls who fight kaiju from the ocean, so she's gone most of the time. They might have let her come back, but maybe not for this long, she's not sure.
Like, probably? But they will definitely have figured out by now that it was either the cryptid or she ran away, they probably won't be expecting her back.
She hopes they did figure out it was the cryptid. Sort of. She doesn't want anyone else to have been eaten, but she doesn't want Julie and Winona to think she ran away, either.
- maybe. She's super careful about that though and things have been fine at home recently.
Not really. She could just go, if things were bad at home, she wouldn't need to go cryptid.
"...okay. Well, presumably whatever they thought they'll be happy to see you."
"This isn't a very nightlifey town, apart from the place with all the deep fried food and vending machines that's open till two a.m. and the emergency office across from it. I can meet you in the park after things quiet down, probably around ten or ten thirty, and show you to a place that's low on houses so nobody sees the light and far from that intersection."
"Yo. This way. Do you want to check if cartoon diagrams work on a simple spell? That'd be faster than doing it all in chalk."
May has a binder full of inscriptions; she takes one out for Dusk to copy. "It has to be exact, all the ratios. It's my invisibility spell."
May takes the duplicate and looks it over herself, pronounces it accurate, and says a chant. She turns invisible.
"Sweet," she says. "All right -" She sets the binder down; it becomes visible and she turns the page to her final draft of the diagram for the transit spell. "I want it, not quite as wide as the street, but close to it."
She'll need to check it over, her cartoons are less reliable with more complicated things. But, examine examine, and there it is.
May checks it over carefully. "These don't move around on their own once you've made them, right, once I check something it's stable?"
Not for something out in the open like this. She has that problem with papers once in a while if she tries to store them but it's always pretty obvious.
"Cool." Check. Double check, circling the diagram, stepping carefully between the lines even though they probably wouldn't smudge, making sure everything lines up and is the right size with her notebook as makeshift ruler. "Okay. I think this is right. I'm gonna hold your hand during the chant, okay? For reasons."
