This next update is looking to be relatively short, so at least in theory I should be able to hammer it out quickly. I'm looking at a potentially very busy weekend, though, so it remains to be seen how that may hold up in practice.

3G - The Scheduling Gap

    • You've left him hanging long enough, you decide. You want to settle this tonight, before you head into the mountains. Flipping through his manga again more to find the right word, you hold it up to the window again, pointing to nighttime, late.

    Kichirou frowns slightly, then nods in acceptance. "I guess… I'll see you then. Or, not see you, but you know what I mean." You simply nod in response, before closing up the book and handing it back over to him. He stares at your reflection in the window for several long moments, before sighing. "Tonight, then. Hopefully the world will start making a little more sense again."

    You snort a bit, knowing it won't, but send him a reassuring smile, before lightly pushing him towards his school again. Taking the hint, he casts one last glance your way, before turning to run. Despite yourself, you trail behind him just a tad more, watching as he approaches the grounds, taking off his red hoodie and stuffing it in his bag before readjusting his uniform. Soon enough, he's vanished through the front doors, and you're left on your own again.

    Glancing up at the sun, you realize it's still mid-afternoon. It'll be a couple of hours before school lets out and you'll be joining the others to question Sakamoto Takuya; not enough time to commit to anything long, yet too much time to do nothing at all. Returning to the bookshop now feels like a waste, and everyone you could currently talk to is busy… aside from Nel, you guess, but you don't feel like dealing with them right now. So… what can you do?

    How do you spend your time?
    > Go to the library (You don't feel ready yet, but you're starting to wonder if you ever really will be. Maybe it's time to rip off the bandaid, and do some investigation while you're at it)
    > Go somewhere quiet (Despite your progress last night, you still want to practice some more; whether to master your ghostly abilities or your magical girl powers, you're not sure. It may be hard to find a good place in broad daylight, but you can figure it out)
    > Just explore for a while (It's a beautiful day, and you have unprecedented autonomy now. Perhaps you can visit parts of the city you wouldn't normally go to, and see if you spot anything interesting happening)
    > Go home and relax (Honestly, the past few days have been… so much, and tonight is going to be busy as well. It might do you some good to let yourself rest, just a little bit, before embarking on the next wild adventure)

    • A long wait for a tiny update, I know, but I couldn't find any way to make this one more substantial without it feeling forced. My apologies, both for that and for vanishing for so long. Summer just isn't my season, it seems.

    [X] Go somewhere quiet.

    Probably the best option, as far as I know. She needs to be ready for tonight, and a little training should help with that. I also expect her to use this to do some reflection on what happened lately, so...

    Also, happy to see this back. I needed a good Magical Girl Quest to follow.
     
    [X] Go somewhere quiet.

    Kinda agree that she needs some training and alone time before the trip, not really knowing how much of the two she can perform on the way.

    Also, any hints in the mode of transportation? Are we gonna do the casual hitchhike (and get a bad roll of the dice for a train encounter or something of the like), or are we finally getting to touch Death's majestic chopper (Is gonna be a long ride in Death dimension)?

    EDIT: On second thought

    Honestly I don't think going home to relax would be well relaxing given everything.

    [X] Go somewhere quiet

    And until something goes wrong I'm continuing with the prone to overworking self due to overcorrecting for daydreamingness while alive and trying to keep mind off things. Because characterization
     
    I will be locking votes in about 24 hours from now.

    Unfortunately, that's not really an option. She can ride around on it freely, but it can't take other passengers unless she's reaped them - and at that point, it would be a one-way trip to the beyond.

    So you said five months ago. Everything alright, SG?

    It's been a combination of COVID, personal complications, overthinking the scene to death, and general lack of time or motivation to write. But now I have adjusted to the first and forced my way through the third enough to get this out; the second and fourth problems are still concerns, but the worst of it seems to have passed as well, unless something new comes up. I can't promise this will be extremely fast or consistent going forward, but I'm hoping to at least keep up a pace of an update per week, plus or minus a few days depending on my workload and the lengths of each update. My apologies for the long and ironically-timed hiatus.
