Forks does not really seem like the place for... An escaped exotic pet of some kind? Whatever it is, it's fluffy and cute seems remarkably clean, with long purple (dyed?) tail and ears. Looks sort of rabbity. It's been hanging out around town for a couple of days, near the school for the most part. It never seems to get wet, either.
It's very cute, with energetic, puppy-like movements and big round eyes. It's watching everyone at the school most afternoons, almost as if looking for someone.
It's back after two hours with an overly cutesy necklace, rhinestones and beads in the shape of a cat head, like something a six year old might wear. It's definitely magic. Feels... Eye-ish?
Can you guess what it does?
Looks like it's designed to make her sense something if she puts it on? And has enough psychic presence to do that while still very definitely being Not A Mind.
"Not quite, chuu! It reacts to the presence of Abyssal energy. It's not nearly as sensitive as a puchuu, though."
"Oh, cool. Do I have to wear it as a necklace or can I just have it in a pocket?"
Scritch scritch.
When she has taken over the world she will go to bed for real.
Her Puchuu hangs out, occasionally vanishing into the Overworld for an hour or two. Nothing disturbs her daily life today, though Puchuu will suggest more training in the evening; Once she's comfortable, she can shield vampire-investigators, maybe in another two to four days? It's urgent on a scale of weeks, if not days.
More training is a good idea - she should go visit the other magical girls and try their obstacle course and meet up with them, rather than just beating up trees.
"I think you could get there in an hour running fast, since you don't get tired. I don't have a bicycle for you yet. The Overworld's paths aren't all flat anyway, though."
Heheheh she can RUN for an HOUR.
She will notify relevant parties of her travel plans. And then go.
The Overworld shows off its weirdness a bit more as she's sprinting through it. The mostly-similar streets and houses of Forks give way to weird forests as she follows the path. Landscapes and sights in the distance change more than they ought to given the time she's spent running. Ten minutes in it fades from an asphalt road to a wide dirt trail back to a twisted mirror of an interstate. She's passed by another girl on a broomstick, dressed in black and whipping by without giving her more than a glance. There's a tall gatehouse made of pieces of cars, shipping containers, and heavy metal, and a sign saying don't try to use this as an actual fortress. It's art!
After another few minutes there's a large treehouse and troops of metal-armored squirrels patrolling the area. They're bright, for squirrels, but not nearly as smart as her or Puchuu. They salute her and the Puchuu as they pass. And at about the halfway point there's a gorgeous gigantic wrought iron bridge, all curls and flowers and arches, across a river that definitely does not exist in the real world, and a crossroads on either side. The looming twisty upside-down forest of the depths of Olympic are visible off to the left. There's a sign on one of the roads saying 'This way to Olympic Village - watch out for the solar bears'.
They're a beast mage's familiars! Solar bears live in Olympic and they're people. They don't bother you if you don't bother them, so you don't need to worry.
I wasn't worried, I just want to know what their deal is. Are there a lot of them? What do they get up to?
I wouldn't say there's a lot of them. I don't know any solar bears, but they're said to be very passive unless their home is threatened. And good at keeping monsters out, so we don't have to!
