saberdancer: that does look like what I saw before it kicked us out the first time. I had a guess that it might be intelligent, but I didn't guess that it might be controlled by a magical girl.

yingyingyingyingyingyingyingbananaphone: they probably look pretty similar if you don't actually see the magical girl! which I did. 

saberdancer: I would guess that she can only control the one, since it's this one specific monster you hear about behaving that way; if I could control monsters I would use one for a while until I needed a new seed and then kill it and find a new one.

yingyingyingyingyingyingyingbananaphone: maybe she's attached. like it's a pet.

saberdancer: yeah it's only a guess. 

Rhonda brings her results to Shi Qingxuan next time they meet up. 

"Wow, huh, I knew they were peculiar but I didn't know how peculiar."

"I wonder why she's so interested in the homeless one."

"I don't know. Maybe just because it's weird? Who ever heard of a magical girl being homeless?"

"That is a good point and I will ask bananaphone about it."

"I like her screen name!" (Shi Qingxuan's own screenname on that website is "boundlessly-talented".)

"It's a pretty cool screenname! I wonder what the ying signifies. Like it could be part of her name or it could be totally random, who knows."

"You could ask her!"

"I could and I probably will but it's a little less important than the monster stuff."

"Maybe having a friendly relationship with your fellow monster enthusiast is the most important thing of all!"

"The real monsters were the friends we made along the way," she sporfles. 

"You never know! Maybe she will learn to control monsters too and one day she will spare you because you asked about her screen name."

"The reason she's researching monsters is so she can try to find ones that can eat animals instead of people and try to completely revolutionize the monster/magical girl ecology, I think probably we don't have to worry about her siccing monsters on people."

"Maybe all that is just her villain origin story."

"Maybe when she becomes a villain I can seduce her back to the side of good!" 

"Kinky. - sorry, you are a tiny baby and I should not."

"I don't think joking about sex with teenagers is that bad but I can understand you wanting to not."

"I will probably slip sometimes whatever rule I set so it had better be a generously sized one!"

"Extremely valid."

When she gets home, she messages bananaphone. 

Why was your magical girl friend homeless, that's weird. 

She fucked up in some unspecified but big way way the hell long ago and asked someone with a power-sealing power to seal hers. 

--How do you GET a power like that??? Do you wish for it directly? If so, why? If not, what kinda wish gets you that power???
