Crowd sourcing time: You are a frustrated magical girl, with questions that need answers. What are your questions? Note: I've already got some in mind, including the all important "Who/What are you/is that(Dusk)?" but I'd like some others. Try to keep it from the perspective of what Incantor Pulse would want to know, rather then meta questions.

Are you really here for school or something more nefarious?!
Who do you work for?
How do you know how to fight?
These are just the questions, that I think she could ask.

Why are you so tall?
How and why do you fight most of your battles untransformed?
Are their more like you?
Where did you come from?
Why'd you get a job?

"Can you even Love and Justice?"
Just Magical Girls asking Magical Girl things.
"What kind of musical instrument is a yo-yo?"
In this world, everything has to be musical... right? It can't just not be something musical. That wouldn't make any sense.
"How come your mascot—" *points at Dusk* "—fights alongside you when ours don't?"
Of course they'd want to know why our "mascot" is so much cooler than theirs!

With a shrug, you ask the girl if you can at least sit for this.
The girl, whom you don't actually know the name of, relents and moves towards some seats at an empty table. Once seated you wave for her to ask.
"Who are you? And what is...that?" She points at Dusk as part of her second question.
Well, you are Argus, Journeyman Kerei, technically unlicensed, but that's because you can't pick it up here. You're companion is Dusk. Well, a Dusk, or more a spirit of dusk. Technically, he's "A spirit of the darkness at day's end" but that gets to be a bit of a mouthful. He doesn't really have a name, and the two of you have been arguing this for a while. He doesn't care, and believes that if he has to have a name it should come from you, while you think that he should name himself, as a means of declaring who he is.
As you said, he is a spirit of dusk, a nature spirit which falls under the greater category of spirits of Darkness.
The girl blinks, seemingly unprepared for you answer. You take the opportunity to ask her name, you don't want to keep thinking of her as "the girl" this whole time.
"Er... uh, I'm Ivy. Dell. Ivy Dell." Her phone buzzes, she reads something off of it, and gathers herself, "What did the Band of Vubrathy want with you?"
Who?
You look at Dusk, who just shrugs.
"The-The Band of Vubrathy! You know, the guy you just fought?"
You thought he was the Abandoned Light Fantastic or something.
"NO! I mean, yes, no, he was Impulse Moment the Abandoned Fantasy of Light, but he was part of the Band of Vubrathy!"
If she says so. You don't really remember. Or were really paying attention to his words.
Ivy slams her hands down, "What do they want with you?!"
You shrug, you don't know. You thought he was just an asshole.
Ivy sucks in air, before releasing it loudly, "Okay. How are you able to fight them?"
You are a Kerei, it's part of the training, and your teacher made sure you were more then capable of punching any ethereal that got uppity with you. Plus, if things get out of hand you've got Dusk to form a Warrior of Darkness with.
"About that, what was that?"
The Warrior of Darkness form? Well, technically it is a manifestation of your bond with Dusk. Realistically, it's a great trump card to play if things get dicey, but it's exhausting and very temporary. Your teacher trained you to be capable without relying on it too much, and the stronger you are as yourself and Dusk, the stronger the Form will be. As for why it looks like it does? You don't know. Dying embers of light maybe? Something about metaphors made manifest? If you were ever told, you'd forgotten.
"Why are you here?"
Like, in the school? The town? In general?
"Yes, any of them. All of them!"
Well, you're in the school because Issac McMilliken somehow convinced you you had to be. You're in town because you somehow managed to get really lost between the Orostone Woods and Eckpool Harbor.
Ivy seems to be having some sort of attack, as she grabs her head, screams into her hands, and then flops on the table.
"So you mentioned that Kerei thing a few times, what is that?"
Ivy lets out a startled yelp, finally spotting the girl who'd sidled up during the questioning. ("Where did you come from?!")
"Suzy Page, by the way, journalist for the River Valley High Report. So, Kerei?"
Hmm... Well, you're sort of like a middleman between Ethereals and people. Sometimes that means taking out Daemons, sometimes that means keeping people from abusing cyber spirits. Sometimes it's figuring out what needs to be done. Once, your teacher went to go deal with a town that was being flooded by a lake spirit; but it turns out that the people in the town broke their contract first, because they were supposed to have young maidens sing for it; but the women had been abducted by bandits, and no one told the Lake spirit, who'd been crying thinking they'd been abandoned.
A confusing mess that ended with drowned bandits, but the kind of thing expected for you to deal with.
"Interesting, so there's more Kerei?"
Yep. National organizations and such. Lots of places have one or two, with big cities having a team of 5 or so working together, and capital cities having several teams. Of course, lots of smaller places depended on "Wandering Kerei" which is technically what you are. Unfortunately, you got lost, so...
"So, do you have some sort of goal for this? A five year plan of sorts?" Suzy asked with ever growing interest.
Learn? Grow? You're kind of winging it here, which is kind of the point of the wandering phase. Learn who you are, what you want to do, that kind of thing.
"Cool, cool. So-" Before Suzy can ask her next question, the lunch bell rings, and it's time for class once more, "-Let's finish this later, kay?"
You shrug, and leave for class, as Ivy weakly reaches out to you for some reason.
After classes are over, you head to Rest in Pizza. Your scheduled for Friday through Monday, as Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are for remodeling.
It's as you are twirling pizzas that you realize you are getting kind of restless. Itchy feet as it were. The impromptu interview reminding you that you were supposed to be on the move.
Presburn isn't a bad place, but it isn't really your place.
You weren't gonna leave right away, of course. You can stand to be here
[ ] a few more days.
[ ] a week or so.
[ ] 2 weeks, gotta get some cash and supplies first.
But you really do have to hit the road soon.
You tell Issac when you get back, it'd be a dick move to just skip out on him, and he seems understanding. He also reminds you to tell Mr. Holden before you leave as well, you need to get paid and all.
The next morning, you enter the school and forced into more social interaction by

But these magical girls are going to be very confused. They'll try looking for Kerei only to realize it's only poor Argus and Dusk here.
