[X] Try and hide the creature.
You could wait and see who was coming, but you had no idea if they were gonna be willing to talk at all, or how they would react to your looks. Whatever this creature was, they seemed to be terrified for their life, and who knows what might happen once whoever is searching finds them. The soft whimpers coming from your back helped in making a choice quick.
You crouched a bit, grabed the reature by the legs and ran as fast as you could.
Your choice seemed to take the creature by surprise given how much strenght they applied to their grip on you but that was okay, you hoped they did that as to not fall off. It kind of hurt though. Can your body hurt? You don't remember. Regardless you ran, almost falling over a few times this being the first time you ran with this body, carrying an added weigh, and not being used to running so fast!! Seriously, you've never ran this fast before, probably due to your current body being stronger or faster or something. Doesn't matter right now. After a good minute of running you did a sharp turn and headed in the direction of an old treehouse. Crystals were growing all over the place, which was perfect actually.
Jumping to the entrance of the house, again surprising yourelf, you closed the door as good as it could and settled down.
*whine...*
Turning back there was the creature, eyes filled with fear and slightly trembling.
"Do... Don't worry... we, you a... you're safe now..." You said in between breaths. It was tiring, but this place would hide them well you were sure. For extra safety you pushed one of the crystals that seemed semi-loose compared to the rest and blocked the door in place. Still slightly open but that was the best you could do, also it would let you see outside. The crystals here seemed to have the same colors as you, which should help with blending in given that no one takes a close look here.
The creature's eyes were still fearful but you gave it the best smile you could. Moving your hands up but not too close, and pointing them to sit down. Apparently gtting your message they finally let go of you and fell flat on the floor, the cracking sounds scaring them again.
"It's okay... it's just wood. Sit down, slowly. Just, slow." You said gsturing with your hands again. You had no idea if they understood you or just understood your hand movements but they sat down carefuly this time.
Looking around the treehouse... it had crystals growing around, as everywhere else you saw. These ones were smaller, but had no pointy ends so no crystal spikes. These crystals were pretty neat, and looked like they could snap with enough force. The one you used to trap the door was half broken already, and looking at it you found the reason. Other crystals were growing and starting to dig into the former one, cracking it in a clean manner. They were neat.
Your companion seemed to be interested in the crystals as well, or maybe it was just looking at were you were looking, giving the head tilt after you faced them. Taking a better look, you saw that they were skinny, but not in a bony way. The biggest parts seemed to be their claws and feet or paws or however those are called. Bandaged all over, some of these bandages looked more new than the rest.
"Um, hello. Can you understand me?"
"..."
No answer. "Do you speak?"
"..."
No answer again. "Do you... make sound?"
"..."
...
*nnn~*
Well they can make sound. Though you're not sure if they understand you at all or not. Actually... do they have a mouth? Their whole face... head seems to be covered in bandages and that bone mask. Their eyes give the impression of waiting for something to happen. Well, they may or may not understand you but you'll at leastr try to have a conversation.
*Cough-cough* "So... I'm Angel." you say pointing at yourself. "You are...?" And you point at them.
"..."
As expected, no answer. Well, you'll still talk to them. To make them feel safe at least.
"I'm new here. Well, new everywhere. I was exploring when you bumped into me." As you talk you move your arms around to try to express yourself more, hoping they understand what you are talking about. "... you were scared, right? They were chasing you?"
"..."
"... did they hurt you?"
"..."
Despite the lack of words you can see them lowering their gaze t their body. At their bandages. Now that you look at them, some are a bit torn off, looking closely it seems like... darkness is coming out of them. It sounds weird but there's no other way ot saying it It's as if that part of the body was pith black and had some bits of that total dark coming out like embers of a fire, only to dissapear quickly. You don't know if it is bad, but if the ained expression of their eyes means anything it must hurt.
If so much of them is covered in bandages, then that means...
"Hey, can I look at your arms?"
"...?"
"Your arms." You say, pointing at them, doing a pulling motion in regards to the clothes they're wearing. "Are they okay?"
"..."
Their eyes seem worried, and they do nothing. You were about to ask something else when they slowly pulled up the oversized sleeves.
The arms were just one big claw. The arm was bandaged up to the forearm in patches, showing bits of dark purple/grey fur. When it reached the elbow it changed to a black mechanic skeleton of an arm. It was... as long as a normal arm when you look up to the 'palm', but after that the claws were as long as half a forearm. They closed and opened them slowly, extending and retracting the black forearm a bit to make the arm look longer and shorter.
Looking at their face their eyes were scared once again. They were looking directly at yours.
"... wow..."
You moved a little closer with actually startled them, eyes wide as they tried to get back but hit the wall rather quickly. You slowly poked their claw with one finger. Sure, your hands also had claws, but they were nothing like these. It seemed pretty smoth, it shined slightly with the little light that came inside.
Slowly, you pick up their hand, and place it between yours.
"It's fine... I'm not scared." You say, their eyes still wide with shock. "It's kind of cool, also pretty actually." Slowly you placed their hand back down and sat a bit back to give them a bit of space. You were smiling at them, not a big smile, but just a normal one. You have to show them that you mean no harm and aren't scared of them. That feels like the right thing to do.
"Ah! Before I forget..." You close in again, making them tremble slightly but they don't try to get away again. "I'm sorry for this, but I believe it can help." You say as you tear up a shred of their sleve.
Inmediatly they crawl away, covering themselves with their arms and shaking.
"No! Wait! I'm not gonna hurt you or anything! Your wound! Here!" You say pointing strongly with one hand at the area where the darkness is leaking. After a bit they look down at the area with the damaged bandages, then back at you, holding the piece of cloth to show how long it is. You roll it loseely around your arm to show what you want to do.
At first you think they won't let you get near, but to your surprise they actually come close to you. Despite the lack of words, you can clearly see confusion in their eyes, some fear, but also a tiny bit of hope.
"This may hurt a bit?" You say as you start to apply the make-shift bandage around the area of their torso where the wound is.
*whiiinnnee...*
They jerk a bit as you make the cloth tighter around the area, until you finish by making a knot.
"... well, hopefully that helps a bit."
Aftewards you retreat back to the part with the wall with less crystals and sit with your back against it. You could leave now, but leaving them alone sounds like a bad idea, speially since whoever was there is still probably looking for them. You hope they didn't saw you. They shouldn't have, probably. You never saw them so it may be the same for them.
You'll wait a bit, maybe an hour or so, just to be sure that your companion can walk around well and go off on their own.
Without much to do you decide that you may as well listen to some music. You're pretty much a walking bunny shaped super-MP3. As soon as you're about to press the mental button to play music you realize that it probably isn't a good idea to blast some loud sounds. You think hard about lowering your speakers volumes hoping it works, and behold, your visor is showing a decreasing circle that probably means that you lowered your own volume.
That done, you check your satchel, just now remembering that you have it, and ick out your tablet. Folder is still empty, map... oh, seems like you mapped out quite a bit of the place. There's this long line going from where you are to the more open area of the map. Apparently you ran quite a lot. You're sure that the map isn't complete yet.
Ethernet... nothing. Music has your whole playlist, can you connect it to-

*Sigh* Whatever, you pick your cheeck speakers and search through your list.
As you do so some light starts coming in from the tiny opening of the door, hitting the crystals and subsequently passing through it to multiple of the others, making tiny dots and lines of light that fill the place. It's pretty. You finally settle on a nice short tune you listen from time to time and will it to play.
The music soon starts catching your companion by surprise. You laugh a bit and point to your cheeks, not sure if they will understand or not. Regardless you just lay back and relax. Breathing slowly, taking in the atmosphere, you close your eyes and let the music surround you.
You're just gonna rest for a bit...
You wake up...
[] At noon, sun is high in the sky. You hear some very young cheerful voices some distance away.
[] At the afternoon, orange sky and violet clouds slowly float by. All is silent but the wind and some birds.
... you also hear someone snoring by your side and feel a weigh on your shoulder.
Apologies for the really late update. For some reason I always end up writing more this late at night.
Anyways the 20 roll before made it so nothing bad happened in the getaway at the start. Low rolls woull've lead to failure in different ways, one of them confrontation.
Anyways hope the chapter was okay. Feel free to say whatever you want about this quest by the by, like it, hate it, just a "meh", speculations, questions, whatever!
As for vote, not much to say here. Choose a time to wake up. Choices will start having more meaning by the by.

The sun hitting your closed eyes tells you it's past bedtime and you should probably get up, do your chores, check the mirror...
!!??
With a bolt you wake up and realize that you're not in your bed in your house, bur rather sitting down against a wooden wall in a threehouse in that different world. How long were you asleep? And how did you fall asleep? It was meant to be simply a little rest...
*Mrrrmmmmm...*
A low grumble brough your attention to the ligh weight on your shoulder. Turning around you see the creature that you rescued earlier today. It was today, no way you slept through a whole day here. Also they're hugging you for some reason. Whie there is a bit of an urge to pat their head and let them be it is probably time to get up.
You nudge them lighly, they refuse to move, you nudge them again, and this time they actually seem to wake up. Looking at you they seem to be... happy? That's the feeling their eyes give you. Also their eyes have a blueish tint on them now. You don't know why but it's probably how they are.
"Hey there. Um... guess we fell asleep?" A single tilt of their head. "Right, anyways... could you let me get up?" You say ponting at their still hugging arms.
Honestly you expected them to whine or refuse but surprisingly they simply let go and sat looking at you, still with the same happy expression on their eyes.
"It's probably safe to go out, no idea how long we were asleep but I doubt whoever was chasingg you is around anymore. By the by, can you move well? Does your wound hurt?"
At the end of that question you realize that they may not understand everything you meant but yet again they surprise by nodding eagerly, patting the spot where the wound used to be as well. Well if they're okay that's okay. You get up, stretch, and go to move the crystal by the door out of the way. It is a bit heavier than you expected it to be but your companion helped you put it aside. You note to yourself that they are probably pretty smart if they follow what you say and can pick up on things easily. Maybe they just don't speak english.
Opening the door light blinds the two of you at first but your eyes get useed to it quickly.
The sky is blue, light is strong, the sun seems to be high in the sky, and the crystals all are more... solid than they were before. Less transparent may be a good way of saying it. Remembering that you have a tablet with a map function you take it out and check out the way back. Sure you coul explore more but you don't wanna get into more random encounters. Good news, it's just a straigh line back to your other house. Bad news, it is a long walk. Eh, it'll stay that long as long as you don't start.
"So!" You begin addressing your companion. "I'm gonna head back where I come from. I don't know where you're from or where you're going but you seem to be fine and whoever was after you probably left already. So... yeah, guess this is goodbye?"
They just stare at you, and this time you can't tell what they may be feeling from their eyes. They just look at you, as if expecting something.
"Ehhh... it's probably dangerous for me to try and go further into this place and I doubt you want to go back so... yeah, you can go now."
"..."
"I'm going this way... what about you?" You point towards the little village where the other house is.
"..."
"... are you still hurt? Can you walk well or run?"
At this they shake their head and then nod. You assume that means no and yes to your questions in order.
"... will you go somewhere?"
"..."
"... what will you do?"
"..."
They take a step fowards, getting close to you, a bit too close actually. They're standing tall, taller than you, they actually look imposing. A single claw is pointed at you, at the point where your heart is. They then extend their arms, opening theyr claws as in ready to leap...
Oh, so this is how it ends... funny, you can't think of anything right now. You always expected to have some flahses of your life or questions about previous choices but nothing, your mind is blank. Your legs refuse to move, it's a surprise you aren't shaking. Maybe it's paralysis by fear? Funny, that doesn't sounds all that right. You feel some fear, but not enough for that. Your mind is simply... blank.
You close your eyes, take a deep breath, and decide to wait. That's all you can do now.
You feel the creature presence looming over you.
And then, they move...
_____!!!
What you feel is not pain, but rather just a bit of pressure on you. As in something is wrapping around you. You open one eye to see... the creature hugging you tigh, eyes closed but radiating happiness regardless.
Uh...
"Umm... thanks for the hug but... why?"
They pat their wound and then proceed to do a series of poses as if to despict what happened in the morning. From what you gather, they just were going around, then suddenly got attacked? They got wounded, still got attacked, cried, the attacks kept going. They ran, stumbled upon you, and the rest you know.
Once more they hug you and... you can see them crying...
... darn it, you feel really bad now. You return the hug the best you can and pat them gently.
"It's fine, it's fine. You're okay... you'll be okay... they probably forgot about you and left..." You want to say that they're safe, but, somehow it feels as if you were gonna lie by saying that. It could be one in the end, after all, all you have are just guesses. No idea if they are still aroun, if they'll look for them again, if they'll be able to get away from them alone next time.
... next time...
You don't want a next time of that for them. You realize that you're hugging them tighly now.
*Sigh* You always had a soft spot for things like this, always trying to help when you could. Not so much as a 'Hero complex' so to say but you still can't help but try and lend a helping hand.
"... do you want to leave?"
Their head shakes from side to side.
"... do you want to come with me?"
Nothing, and then a slow nod.
You pat them gently. "I don't know where I'll have you, but I'll make room somwehre. You can come with me, I don't make any promises but I'll try to keep you safe."
They let go of you and you swear that their eyes are shining with happy emotions.
"Hehe, well, let's go. It's a long way back."
You start walking and they follow behind you. So it begins your long and uneventful walk towards your house. Nothing special happens. You just walk, look around, and enjoy the peace...
...
...
... that was the plan at least. A few minutes of walking you spot something in the distance. Something... unusual...
"Alright everyone, let's start from the top. We gotta be in top shape to beat up the bad guys after all!"
"Ehhhhh?? Haven't we practiced enough? Also what bad guys? All I've done is pick cat from trees and help old ladies with their bags."
"Hana is bored of practice. Can we do something else?"
"Well Fearless Leader, it seems no one wants to do more practice."
"Girls C'mon! The Earth could be in danger at any moment! We were given these powers to protect it right? Also Melody please don't call me that."
"But Reina, nothing has happened at aaaaallllllll. I spent all those patrols bored out of my mind."
"I have to agree, the only thing I've done so far from getting these powers is help find a missing dog."
"Well, yeah, but that doesn't mean we gotta let our guard down! Remember what they told us, dark beings could start appearing due to excesive negative energy, so it's best to always be ready. Now, let's run down what our patrols are and what to do in case of danger."
"Reina, there's no danger. It's been more than a month since we were given powers and nothing has happened. Maybe some other magical girls took care of things."
"But what if that isn't the case and some monster catch us off guard, what do we do then?"
"Hana wonders if the monsters would be friendly."
"Hana, they're called monsters for a reason. They're supposed to not be friendly."
"But Hana things those two look pretty cute and nice."
The girl identified as Hana proceeds to wave in your direction alerting everybody else on their group of colorful young girls. Inmediatly they all try to adapt some form of fighting stance or look intimidating.
"W-w-who are you!!? Identifu y-yourself!!!"
They utterly fail by all looking pretty scared of you.
"..."
Or maybe they're terrified of the sudden dark wolf like creature with big claw arms standing in front of you as in trying to protect you.
They all take a step back and prepare some kind of wands as your companion takes a stance.
...
This could turn bad.
...
It's obvious that you must calm everyone down, but how?
[] Write in.
I'm sorry for taking so long to write this. I kind of left it aside as I spend time doing some personal hobbies things. Anyways, that choice of magical girl setting? This is where it comes to play. I color coded everyone's dialogue to try and help since there were multiple people around.
Also a write in, yeah. Write the best way to calm down both sides. You can be as creative as you want, and remember that the MC is a robot bard with big spearkers, in case you need them.
First impressions are important.
Also, gonna ask for a vote right here. What wil you name your new companion? Write your name ideas in votes as well. So that's all for now, remember you can discuss anything you want about this quest. Or ask questions. I'll answer anything so long as it isn't some big spoiler thing for later.
Name of companion?
[] Write in.

Well if they're okay that's okay. You get up, stretch, and go to move the crystal by the door out of the way. It is a bit heavier than you expected it to be but your companion helped you put it aside. You note to yourself that they are probably pretty smart if they follow what you say and can pick up on things easily. Maybe they just don't speak english.
Opening the door light blinds the two of you at first but your eyes get useed to it quickly.
The sky is blue, light is strong, the sun seems to be high in the sky, and the crystals all are more... solid than they were before. Less transparent may be a good way of saying it. Remembering that you have a tablet with a map function you take it out and check out the way back. Sure you coul explore more but you don't wanna get into more random encounters. Good news, it's just a straigh line back to your other house. Bad news, it is a long walk. Eh, it'll stay that long as long as you don't start.
"So!" You begin addressing your companion. "I'm gonna head back where I come from. I don't know where you're from or where you're going but you seem to be fine and whoever was after you probably left already. So... yeah, guess this is goodbye?"
They just stare at you, and this time you can't tell what they may be feeling from their eyes. They just look at you, as if expecting something.
"Ehhh... it's probably dangerous for me to try and go further into this place and I doubt you want to go back so... yeah, you can go now."
"..."
"I'm going this way... what about you?" You point towards the little village where the other house is.
"..."
"... are you still hurt? Can you walk well or run?"
At this they shake their head and then nod. You assume that means no and yes to your questions in order.
"... will you go somewhere?"
"..."
"... what will you do?"
"..."
They take a step fowards, getting close to you, a bit too close actually. They're standing tall, taller than you, they actually look imposing. A single claw is pointed at you, at the point where your heart is. They then extend their arms, opening theyr claws as in ready to leap...
Oh, so this is how it ends... funny, you can't think of anything right now. You always expected to have some flahses of your life or questions about previous choices but nothing, your mind is blank. Your legs refuse to move, it's a surprise you aren't shaking. Maybe it's paralysis by fear? Funny, that doesn't sounds all that right. You feel some fear, but not enough for that. Your mind is simply... blank.
You close your eyes, take a deep breath, and decide to wait. That's all you can do now.
You feel the creature presence looming over you.
And then, they move...
_____!!!
What you feel is not pain, but rather just a bit of pressure on you. As in something is wrapping around you. You open one eye to see... the creature hugging you tigh, eyes closed but radiating happiness regardless.
Uh...
"Umm... thanks for the hug but... why?"
They pat their wound and then proceed to do a series of poses as if to despict what happened in the morning. From what you gather, they just were going around, then suddenly got attacked? They got wounded, still got attacked, cried, the attacks kept going. They ran, stumbled upon you, and the rest you know.
Once more they hug you and... you can see them crying...
... darn it, you feel really bad now. You return the hug the best you can and pat them gently.
"It's fine, it's fine. You're okay... you'll be okay... they probably forgot about you and left..." You want to say that they're safe, but, somehow it feels as if you were gonna lie by saying that. It could be one in the end, after all, all you have are just guesses. No idea if they are still aroun, if they'll look for them again, if they'll be able to get away from them alone next time.
... next time...
You don't want a next time of that for them. You realize that you're hugging them tighly now.
*Sigh* You always had a soft spot for things like this, always trying to help when you could. Not so much as a 'Hero complex' so to say but you still can't help but try and lend a helping hand.
"... do you want to leave?"
Their head shakes from side to side.
"... do you want to come with me?"
Nothing, and then a slow nod.
You pat them gently. "I don't know where I'll have you, but I'll make room somwehre. You can come with me, I don't make any promises but I'll try to keep you safe."
They let go of you and you swear that their eyes are shining with happy emotions.
"Hehe, well, let's go. It's a long way back."
You start walking and they follow behind you. So it begins your long and uneventful walk towards your house. Nothing special happens. You just walk, look around, and enjoy the peace...
...
...
... that was the plan at least. A few minutes of walking you spot something in the distance. Something... unusual...
"Alright everyone, let's start from the top. We gotta be in top shape to beat up the bad guys after all!"
"Ehhhhh?? Haven't we practiced enough? Also what bad guys? All I've done is pick cat from trees and help old ladies with their bags."
"Hana is bored of practice. Can we do something else?"
"Well Fearless Leader, it seems no one wants to do more practice."
"Girls C'mon! The Earth could be in danger at any moment! We were given these powers to protect it right? Also Melody please don't call me that."
"But Reina, nothing has happened at aaaaallllllll. I spent all those patrols bored out of my mind."
"I have to agree, the only thing I've done so far from getting these powers is help find a missing dog."
"Well, yeah, but that doesn't mean we gotta let our guard down! Remember what they told us, dark beings could start appearing due to excesive negative energy, so it's best to always be ready. Now, let's run down what our patrols are and what to do in case of danger."
"Reina, there's no danger. It's been more than a month since we were given powers and nothing has happened. Maybe some other magical girls took care of things."
"But what if that isn't the case and some monster catch us off guard, what do we do then?"
"Hana wonders if the monsters would be friendly."
"Hana, they're called monsters for a reason. They're supposed to not be friendly."
"But Hana things those two look pretty cute and nice."
The girl identified as Hana proceeds to wave in your direction alerting everybody else on their group of colorful young girls. Inmediatly they all try to adapt some form of fighting stance or look intimidating.
"W-w-who are you!!? Identifu y-yourself!!!"
They utterly fail by all looking pretty scared of you.
"..."
Or maybe they're terrified of the sudden dark wolf like creature with big claw arms standing in front of you as in trying to protect you.
They all take a step back and prepare some kind of wands as your companion takes a stance.
...
This could turn bad.
...
It's obvious that you must calm everyone down, but how?
[] Write in.
I'm sorry for taking so long to write this. I kind of left it aside as I spend time doing some personal hobbies things. Anyways, that choice of magical girl setting? This is where it comes to play. I color coded everyone's dialogue to try and help since there were multiple people around.
Also a write in, yeah. Write the best way to calm down both sides. You can be as creative as you want, and remember that the MC is a robot bard with big spearkers, in case you need them.
First impressions are important.
Also, gonna ask for a vote right here. What wil you name your new companion? Write your name ideas in votes as well. So that's all for now, remember you can discuss anything you want about this quest. Or ask questions. I'll answer anything so long as it isn't some big spoiler thing for later.
Name of companion?

I pretty much described their appearance last chapter, and maybe also talked about it in the on before that. Basically kinda slim, bandages all over, face a mix of human and canine shape, with a skull like mask, wears some kind of coat with oversized sleeves to cover the claw arms. Where there is no bandages some grey fur is sticking out.
I think that's how I described them? If you're asking for MC then there's an image on the information threadmark, I kinda went wild while making it hehe.
Masculine form?

Androginous I would say. Think a humanoid pokemon maybe? Something like that, where they don't look like a gender or the other.

Time ???? Place ????
In a sparcely simple room in a humble 2 story house in a humble neighborhood there was a regal looking young woman walking back and forth in circles, screaming quesions and clearly stressed. Despite the rough movenents and situation, her appearance remained pristine and fresh. Around her a tiny white big eyed dragon was panicking as much as the young woman, apologizing profusely.
"Why me!? Why did I become a girl!? Aren't guys supposed to not be able to be picked for this!?"
"I-I don't know!! Boys aren't supposed to be able to use the selection app! That's what I was told!" The little dragon recoiled in fear.
While the young man turned woman was angry for reasonable reasons, they decided to keep their anger in for a bit longer and get answers first.
"Selection app? What you were told?"
The little dragon opened one eye and slowly uncurled itself. Still shaking, they began to answer.
"There's this tool called the [selection app], we use it to locate prime candidates for magical girls. I was told it was disguised as a phone game and that only girls should be able to find it, boys should't be able to see it." After these words they look down. "At least that's what my seniors told me. I-I'm still new and I was excited since the app had found someone with great potential a-a-and we were a perfect match in wavelenght s-so I just jumped out and made the contract inmediatly since I was so happy to be the first one to get a partner and I didn't knew you were a boy until... I-I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please forgive meeee!!!" And so the little dragon exploded into tears.
The young person, while still angry, somehow felt that the tiny dragon was being honest and legitimally sorry for their situation. So they placed a hand on their head an started petting them to calm them down.
"There there, I'm not gonna hold it against you, but I'm still a little mad. Next time think before you act okay?"
The little dragon calmed down slightly at the gesture and slowly nodded at the words.
"Aaahhhh... if I'm right this isn't completely your fault. I had no idea that game was gonna turn me into a girl. If I had known I wouldn't have played it."
"Ummm... can I ask a question?" The little dragon was definitely more calm now though the young one continued to pet them.
"Sure, go ahead."
"... How did you find the app? You're... were a boy right?"
...
"Did you steal a girl's phone?"
"No, that was my phone. Also, I did not find the app." The young person looked at the floor where the remains of their phone were. They had dropped it after being surprised by the little dragon and it had fell in such a spectacular manner that it ended up completely broken, parts scattered all over the room.
"A friend of mine, she found that game. She said 'This game is totally your thing' and just picked my phone and installed it. I was surprised at the type of game it was, magical girls RPG and all that, but ignoring the looks and theme I actually had lots of fun with it, so I kept playing."
The young person proceeded to sit down on a bed, their clothes remained almost perfect despite the little care in how they moved and the like. The dragon followed and sat down besides them.
It would be called sttrange for such a bond to devvelop rapidly, but in this case there was no bond. The young person was just mentally tired and the tiny dragon felt the need to make up for their mistake.
"... why do you use a phone app to find and make magical girls? I still can't believe they exist but, here I am, talking to a little stuffed dragon... you're not an actual dragon are you?"
The dragon huffed offended. "I'm 100% a real dragon! I'm still young but one day I'll grow to become a great dragon!" They declared in a really cute manner. "As for your question... I don't really know myself. I'm still new at this myself. My seniors told me about the system but I never asked about it. All I know is that evvery period of time, a search for potential magical girls is held. I never bothered asking."
"Okaaay... so... why do you need magical girls?"
"Umm, I think it's just a routine thing. I... also didn't ask why we picked magical girls. I heard there are other groups that also pick magical girls but I don't know about that either..."
Both human an dragon sat in silence after that for a while. Either processing information or struggling to find words to say.
...
"... I'm sorry."
"I know... aahhhh man..."
...
"... I forgive you" The little dragon ears perked up at the sound of those words.
"Really?"
"But I'm still a bit angry." They looked down again. "You turned me into what I can only describe as a princess, what with the white dress and how it looks. I even have purple drill hair now!"
True to their words, mannerism aside, they looked just like a young princess from a foreign country. Long gair with 2 bangs going to the side in a drill pattern that defied gravity.
"Well, I didn't choose that look. It's supposed to be your ideal of what a magical girl is." The little dragon said.
"My ideal... really... I don't have an ideal image of a magical girl, I just know they're supposed to look... this... fuck."
"Language!"
"Yeah yeah, so the looks are my fault. Still I'm stuck as a princess, any way to turn back or am I really stuck like this?"
"Umm, the manual said that for a magical girl to de-activate their transformation they just had to will it."
The young person had a deadpan look on their face. A manual for magical girls is quite the thing to learn that exists.
"... there's a manual for magical girls?"
"Yes, I read it all before coming to you! I memorized aalllll it's contents." The little dragon said proudly sticking their chest out.
"Why?"
"Because I have to be a good helper! If I'm gonna be a good partner I have to make sure you stay safe!"
"No I mean, well first of, thanks I guess, but I meant, why is there a manual?"
"Eh? Well to help young partners learn before they make a contract. I think that's what teacher said. At least for the group I'm in. I heard there are other groups that handle magical girls different, but I don't know about them."
"... hey... are you supposed to be telling me all this?"
"I... don't know? I want to help so I'll answer anything you ask to the best of my abilities! But now that you mention it, the manual said that once the contract is formed we aren't allowed to say some things to the girls. I think I wasn't supposed to mention the manual actually, but I did it anyways? I'm confused now..."
While the little dragon floated with a downed look, the 'princess' was deep in thought. They quicly found an answer as to why.
"I'm not a girl."
"Eh?"
"I'm not a girl, so you're not forced to hide things for me."
"But... I made you into a girl."
"But I can turn back into a boy, and that's the thing! I wasn't supposed to be contracted or whatever in the first place! I'm the first time this has happened most probably! I'm a loophole! Or something like that. Whatever rules you had don't apply for me!"
"I... think that makes sense. But I still said things I shouldn't and now I'll get in trouble once the others find out..."
"Then don't tell them, let's keep this our little secret." The 'princess' said with ease, to the shock of the dragon.
"But-"
"It's fine, they don't need to know I'm actually a boy. And I doubt I'll stay around others while I look like this."
"Y-you're okay with this?"
"Honestly, not really, but I'll deal with what I've been given. Also I want to learn as much as I can about this whole magical girl system and I'm sure this'll help. It feels weird to me, for there to be a system at all. I could learn a lot if my idea of being a lophole is correct. Only problem is..." They said as thir gaze turned to the dragon.
...
"...What will you do?"
Silence. The dragon was deep in thought for a while. They had messed up, and were gonna be in trouble most probably. If their guess is right they should fin a way to end the contract and seek an actual girl to contract. An unknown is one of the most dangerous things is what they were taugh, and they had no idea what this person would do with the information they wanted...
But...
"... I'll help you."
...
"What?"
"I said I'll help you! I... It's my fault this happened so I wanna make up for it! Also I'm your partner by contract. Regardless of that I want to help! I can tell you're a nice person, you don't wanna do anything bad, you're just worried, about magical girls right? I can tell... I can sense that from you... and I want to help make sure they're alright too! So please, let me help you to make up for this!" They said and bowed with their eyes closed hard.
No time was needed to find an answer. Both of them were linked, that helped them get a feel of each other's emotions. Being so close in wavelenght just added to it. They could tell roughly what the other's intentions were. There was no need for words, they both wanted to do the same thing deep down.
"Alright, if that's what you want then welcome aboard to my crazy not yet made up plan."
The little dragon beamed, eyes shining and hugged the young woman in the head while saying 'thank you' over and over.
"Okay, if you want to help then I want you to tell me all I may need to know about... well, this, being a magical girl and all."
"OK! So first you need to know how to transform back, but first you need to register yourself on the app! That way you can operate as an official magical girl and even meet up with other girls in the pocket space the app makes for you. So let's do that and..."
Before they could go any further the dragon was told to stop, becuase the phone was pretty much destroyed. Their shocked face wouldn't look out of place in a cartoon but the soon to-be official magical girl didn't pay it mind.
"It's fine, I have another phone here somewhere. In fact, I think that version is more new? I got it as a prize in a competition shortly after buying the other one. I was so mad I refused to use it. Hey, with me like this maybe I can find the app now..."
In a sparcely simple room in a humble 2 story house in a humble neighborhood there was a regal looking young woman walking back and forth in circles, screaming quesions and clearly stressed.

[X]"Hi, I'm Angel, Robot Bard. Have you met Sora and her teacher yet? They're the only other magical girls I've seen here so far."
You said those words while waving in towards the girls as innocently as you could. They all looked at you with incredulous faces except for the one called Hana, who had a thinking face.
"Hana doesn't think so? We didn't knew there were more magical girls."
"Hana!! What are you doing!!?"
"Well they asked nicely so Hana decided to answer. They don't seem mean."
"Hana, we don't know what they are-" "I'm a robot" "... or if they're dangerous. I mean, look at them!!" The blue haired girl with twintails pointed with her arms at both you and your companion. At that, you decided to once again wave at them in a friendly manner.
Your companion apparently decided to mimic you and found it fun if their eyes were any indication. Somehow you could tell that they had a goofy smile while looking at you and waving their big claw-arm in the air.
"... Hana doesn't think they're dnagerous."
"They haven't done anything yet, that's true..."
"..."
"... okay, we'll give them the benefit of doubt. But at the first sign that they're evil we act."
"Yes fearless leader..."
The blue hair twintails girl looked to the other one with a scowl before coughing in her hand to gather atention.
"Alright, who and what are you two and why are you here." She said in a no nonsense tone of voice. Aside from her blue hair what stood out from her was her clothing. A pink and blue sleevless shirt and a pink skirt. She had long gloves and had... rollerskater boots? Seems that way.
"Well, as I said I'm Angel. I'm a Robot Bard. Basically I can play music. This is..." You are about to say that you dn't know their name when suddenly a word pops in your head, and you say it without thinking. "... Lupin". Lupin?
Your companion looks to you and you lock eyes for a bit, untile they just smile and nod.
________!!!
You felt some kind of ping on your head, not quite hurt, but you felt something just now. Weird.
"... right. You're a robot shaped like a bunny."
"Wasn't my choice."
"And a bard?"
"I call mysel that, again, I play music. See these?" You point to your cheecks. "Speakers for music."
"That doesn't make much sense."
"Well, we're in front of you right now. And as far as I now, magical girls probably didn't make sense to you not that long ago."
She huffs and crosses her arms, as if to appear bigger than she is. You assume she's not in a good mood or just distrust you.
"... and your companion... Lupin? What are they?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know?"
"Not really, but they're a good buddy." Speaking off...
They seem to have gotten behind you and proceeded to lean their arms over your sholders, waving their hands as a bored little kid would do. You can't help but smile at the contrast in looks and actions.
"... whatever, so, why are you here."
"Well, me and Lupin were walking down this road when we suddenly heard a bunh of girls screaming about being magical and stuff."
"Not much magical really, we barely use our powers for anything. Mine is useful at least." Says a light-pink haired girl who also wear twintails. She's dressed in a violet dress with white clothing below it from what you see, a pair of boots, and no gloves.
"Becuase the power to transform your clothes is soooo great Veronica. Anyways, I can summon an do stuff with Yo-Yos" The next girl speaking has medium red hair, and is wearing some kind of mix of gym clothes and a battle costume. She's wearing fingerless gloves which are holding a pair of red Yo-Yos.
"Hana can make stars!!" Hana seems to be a very ligh blonde, almost white hair, with a cutesy white and ligh blue dress. She has star motifs around it and her pupils are star shaped now that you look at them.
"Why are we telling them our powers!!?"
"Seems fair, given what they've told us. I make little animals made of light. They're kinda cute if I say so myself." The girl speaking has long black hair tied in a bun, with two bangs going to hear back and two fowards. She seems to be wearing a slim dress with a short skirt over a pair of leather pants that are adjusted to her. She's wearing high-heels as well-
"Well Reina, aren't you gonna tell yours?"
"... I have magic rollerskaters."
"She can do this crazy tornado thing with them by spinning you know?"
"Yeah, we all need some type of offensive move for when we face the bad guys."
"If we ever face any bad guy."
After the girl told you f their powers you wonder about what to do. You think Hana said that they haven't heard of any other magical girls so they probably haven't met Sora and her Teacher. That reminds you that yo don't know Sora's teacher's name.
"So... what are your names?"
"Ooops, apologies, we kind of forgot to introduce ourselves. My name is Melody."
"Hana is Hana!"
"I'm Veronica."
"Ruby."
"And I'm Reina. We call ourselves Elements, despite... well... not really having elemental powers..."
The girl named Reina looks to the said after saying the last part in a low voice. Seems as if she isn't confident in that name.
"It's as good a name as any"
"Hey Miss Bunny!!"
You're about to correct the gir when she suddenly shoves a small device in your hands. Uh, it's an MP3.
"Could you play a song!?" Her star pupils grow big as does her smile as she does little jumps in expectation.
"Hana, she has a name, try to remember it. Sorry Miss Angel."
You're about to correct them until, once again, you're interrupted, once again, by Hana. This time she picks up the MP3, press some buttons, and pass it over to you.
"Miss Bunny, can you play this song!! You can use Hana's MP3!!" She says with a big smile and jumps back to her group, jumping in place.

Well, seems you can actually play her a song. May as well, you'll cear up the misunderstandin afterwards. Otherwise you'll probably get interrupted again in some manner.
"Hana, dodn't call them Bunny, it's rude."
"It's fine, I don't mind that. And sure, I'll play a song why not?"
"SERIOUSLY!!??"
"But just one, I still kind of want to ask a few things."
"Yay!!!!"
The other girls give you a symphatethic look but you just shrug. From the looks of it Lupin is eager to hear you sing as wellwaitsing???
You take a look at the song they asked for and... oh, OH. Oh... you've heard this one before... it's one of the songs Mapple played while she was messing with your computer on the shop yesterday. She went by again for some reason. Either way, this song has VOCALS. You're not quite sure how'll it come out with that, but you already agreed to play the song. You also have been listening to it for a bit ever since Mapple played it the other day. It kinda got stuck in your head and wouldn't leave.
So... you take a step back, will the connection to the song to happen, and get ready for whateer may come out of this.
Which song was it?
[] Black Rock Shooter
[] Sugar Song Bitter Step
[] Mysterious Messenger
[] Honeyworks' Romeo
Took me a bit but here is the next chapter. Shorter than the others but hey, what's this, a music choice?
So yeah, I'm gonna say here and now, the song that you guys pick will have a reaction from the girls. Nothing major, but you can guess what from each song.
Also if you pick a song you can, if you want, roll a d20, otherwise it would be just a sorta decent cover of the song that it's done. If you get a 20 or a 1 a special result may occur.
So yeah, that. Also if you get a 20 then MC will get way into singing.
Laters.
You said those words while waving in towards the girls as innocently as you could. They all looked at you with incredulous faces except for the one called Hana, who had a thinking face.
"Hana doesn't think so? We didn't knew there were more magical girls."
"Hana!! What are you doing!!?"
"Well they asked nicely so Hana decided to answer. They don't seem mean."
"Hana, we don't know what they are-" "I'm a robot" "... or if they're dangerous. I mean, look at them!!" The blue haired girl with twintails pointed with her arms at both you and your companion. At that, you decided to once again wave at them in a friendly manner.
Your companion apparently decided to mimic you and found it fun if their eyes were any indication. Somehow you could tell that they had a goofy smile while looking at you and waving their big claw-arm in the air.
"... Hana doesn't think they're dnagerous."
"They haven't done anything yet, that's true..."
"..."
"... okay, we'll give them the benefit of doubt. But at the first sign that they're evil we act."
"Yes fearless leader..."
The blue hair twintails girl looked to the other one with a scowl before coughing in her hand to gather atention.
"Alright, who and what are you two and why are you here." She said in a no nonsense tone of voice. Aside from her blue hair what stood out from her was her clothing. A pink and blue sleevless shirt and a pink skirt. She had long gloves and had... rollerskater boots? Seems that way.
