Warning

Hmmm... Sorry to press this but my ADHD brain won't shut up and I was thinking... I may have writing ideas for Mitsuko that could push her to move elsewhere. So I wonder if it's okay if I write something up with Mitsuko and potentially Lenneth. Note that I'd probably moderate with her (As to not become the #1 threat. I wouldn't want making anyone uncomfortable.) But I may have some ideas that could make her go back to the convention. Although, that depends if it's okay. My brain is tickling me to write something and all things seem set for it.

I see! And yes, I understand Alexandrine's perspective better. It's true that she was very vulnerable, at least from a self perspective. Hellhound wouldn't have been able to put a scratch on her anyway since she was still sharp in battle. Fujiko didn't exactly get her in battle, hence the way she was caught off guard. It does make a lot of sense. Hellhound's thing is that I finally managed to put a part of her lewd side in. So that's kinda nice. But yeah, I don't even know for sure how Hellhound will react to when she sees her like however she'll be. It will depend on the situation. I generally adapt to what happens in real time and she will behave however she must when the time comes. I wonder, though. I may have an idea about Lenneth but it depends. I know I've set Mitsuko as a kind of Valkyrie and it wouldn't make sense to put two of them unless... What if Lenneth was after her? The sword might be one the gods or something, hence granting her her magic powers. Lenneth could have sensed her to come after her.

It's interesting how Alexandrine is like supposed to be strongest Magical girl around too but gets corrupted by a simple demon. I mean no judgement. I just think it's interesting. Unless I am wrong about her power level but with what Zorn said about her and all. In my case, I'm trying to get out of the zero activity hole but it's a bit complicated right now. I want to give Mitsuko more time (I notice she has not been active for like 8+ pages so far) but it probably would be more like a single path until she meet with someone else. That is, unless I make a third character in hope to fill empty spots. Still not sure what I want to do but I crave to do something. Hellhound is also in standby right now as well. ><

And both Zorn and Hellhound will be confused as to why the archenemy and the dog killer, in that order, will be on the side of the enemy. Also, with the amount of magical girls falling to the enemy, there won't be many staying on the good side. XD Mitsuko will have to save everyone. I didn't know yet but she's the protagonist.

Mao looked at the surrounding changing, wondering how it was possible to be connected to her mind unless this form of magic followed a still existing connection from the soul to the body. In this case, the catgirl would have no control over it as she didn't really have any power over the body or corpses. While this amazed her, she was not exactly surprised that Pelintira was capable of such mysterious feats. For now, she was looking around and noticed where they were or about. With nobody noticing them, they were free to watch but the vision was not completely clear yet. Only when the area shifted again, did it make a little more sense. Mao looked at the witch when she warned her that the girl could potentially notice them. Now was the time to see if the girl would recognize her soul captor. What the catgirl looked like right now, was the reaper with her scythe in hand. There was no doubt that she was noticeable if the girl saw them. Mao would fly to her and look at her, with her usual expression. While her weapon may scare one or two, she herself meant to be the only thing she knew since she died. Some of her memories may or not remember but Mao felt like she would end remembering quickly anyway. This was the connection that this catgirl had with her souls. She was their mistress once she gained possession of them. Mao had similar means to communicate with them but as she had made clear before, this was not the same method as her own. For the time being, Mao's weapon vanished and she landed on her paws but watched the girl quietly, observing how she would react in this dimension.

It's the fun part. I love writing LOT of characters. But I always look like I struggle left and right because I need to make sure I write them fairly. This is why I often ask questions about what sounds right or not. If I find the right vibe then I can use many characters without issues. It's even fun to see such characters interact with each others.

If I was to use her, I probably would not make her "unbeatably" powerful but she'd definitely be stronger than any humans. Her behavior also plays in the balance. (By example, someone who is OP and searches to destroy everything would just leave a wasteland.) But Lenneth is thankfully not Odin or Ragnarok. So she's fine on this side. She would probably be a little stronger than Alexandrine for sure. I know I saw versions of Lenneth that doesn't give her an absolute god mode. She is still fearsome. (Balancing this right is always the hardest part, isn't it?) But I think the most important question is if she'd be fun to have around. She can be used sexually but not sealed.

Hellhound didn't take too long before showing herself, as she poked her head out of covering. In any normal times, she could be a little more subtle but she was merely playing at this moment, probably out of boredom. She remained there, just looking at them for the moment. It was unsure if she was listening but she was watching. That energy of hers begged to be used, maybe the bath had overcharged her but she did not seem to complain about the aftereffects. If anything, she was ready for more rounds instead of afraid after losing.

I might still need to hear opinions about Lenneth. Like, if she would make a good character or not. The "where she comes from" might be a little weird since there's no god world of sort. Unless there is. But would a powerful loli be a good idea? Also, I imagine that if Lenneth was worshiped anyhow, it would be in older times. This version however is a "young" version with no real origins. Funny thing is, she has the same property has magical girls. I could develop her oddly natural, though. Innocent. (She'd still be an enemy of humanity or seen as.)

Hellhound only observed the two, feeling like they were now focused on each others. It was the perfect moment to sneak away and so, she slowly stepped away quietly. At first, she did like she was not doing anything but after a moment and a short distance, she flipped around and dashed away but didn't go very far, turning a corner and just stopping there out of sight. Hellhound just liked to move around, at least when she was not being lazy and sleepy. With her revival experience, she felt full with energy anyway. Besides, she had better things to do instead of watching two demons flirt with each others. She wanted to find some battle to fight and that needed her to leave this place first. But for now, she waited to see their reactions.

Previous Chapter in the Story... (Click here) Upon getting back home, Mitsuko entered quietly and left her shoes at the entrance before she headed to the bathroom for a shower, as she had intended. Before that, however, she went to her room so she could put her stuff down but more importantly, the sword that was so valuable to her now. As she was thinking back, Mitsuko wondered if it really had been a good idea to go to the convention transformed but at least nobody seemed to have noticed her except the magical girls she had met. For how long this meeting had been, she was happy she could find a start somewhere, even if she didn't understand everything well yet. At least everything seemed fine, now. For the time being, Mitsuko undressed and picked some pajamas, leaving herself in nothing but undergarments as she was alone in the house at this moment. Afterwards, she finally headed to the bathroom for her shower and readied the water, which was easily done with a few buttons. Even though she was alone, she couldn't shake a feeling off but maybe it was nothing. These last few days had been a little stressful with the transformation practices that she had to keep hidden and school on the other side with the homeworks she had to do. The convention itself helped her find magical girls like her but it didn't really show her what challenges she'd have to face later on. But for now, Mitsuko undressed completely and entered the shower, getting a feel of the water that was perfectly warm. This was stress-relieving but her thoughts were still on this whole magical girl situation. As she was finally naked by choice, she came to really think about what transforming was about. It did not entail transforming her body... No, it meant summoning the magical power that was now hers and this meant having her own magical uniform or armor. But... The process to gain such armor when she transformed was to destroy the clothes she was wearing beforehand. Thankfully, the power of the sword emitted a magic light when she transformed but still. Mitsuko unfortunately thought about what she was warned about and what it meant in the end. Would demons really want to force themselves on her? She could not possibly have meant that, right? She had no real experiences on that side and then there was a certain self-consciousness about her own body. She was not exactly a top class, so to speak, among other girl mates at her school. Looking down at herself, she was what some boys would consider 'flat', even. Sure, she had something but it wasn't anything to chant praise about. Feeling her own breasts for a moment, she pouted slightly. The girl suddenly blushed as she wondered why she was even thinking of that. Moving her hands away, she reached to her bottles of shower supplies in order to do what she should be doing: Washing herself. Mitsuko did it slowly, taking her time to enjoy it, until she'd rinse everything off and finally turn the shower off afterwards. At this moment, she'd pick a towel to dry herself and leave the bathroom as quickly as possible, only wanting to return to her bedroom to rest. With her mind being so occupied, though, she realized that she had forgotten her pajamas and a soft swear played in her mind. At this point, she knew that she should be more focused but at the same time, it wasn't so bad. She dropped the towel and simply headed to bed to rest.

I mean, here's the issue. I didn't really think about the worship part and being worshipped by demons seems a little odd. I like the idea of godly characters but I would not want to make anyone uncomfortable with it. (Feeling devalued by another character is not fun) If she has the power to get rid of Alexandrine, it would kinda turn the story pretty bad. Ironically, I don't think she is the kind to just "invade" a world and destroy it. She'd wait to be challenged, therefore keeping the power balance fair. A demon is far more invasive in nature. So I wonder how Zorn would know her. Or anyone, tbh. She is random enough that she wouldn't fear wandering in towns but she has little reasons to really do it. IF I was to use her, she is also possible to bring into lewd situations but she is really more "Battle" than "Sexual" so she wouldn't try to trigger it but someone might still be able to bring her into it. Buuut I still have many questions about how to make this work IF I went there. I would want to develop her somehow but this needs to be done the right way, not the wrong way.

I was thinking Lenneth. Now, hear me out, I have a very cute fan pic of a certain loli Lenneth and she is pretty cool. She is also a direct reference to SO3 Lenneth, which means she is 100% out there to fight humans. This girl needs more personality and development though, and I think it could be done. Plus, smol girl with big spear. What's not to like?

A part of me wanted to introduce a kind of god(dess) or something. I remember we spoke of threats being anything from demons to aliens so I wondered if the same could be applied with potential magic gods or the likes. Now, I understand that certain character might be too OP buuut this is always adjustable. I don't know how far this can go, though.

Hellhound smirked after he clarified. It's like he was giving her a quest or something, regarding finding more about Emi. She would admit that making a connection between her and Zorn had not exactly been a priority, let alone a thought. It would be something to think about later. Still, it appeared like Zorn had more to him than just what he showed. Some demons, especially females, had specialties that went beyond the scopes of magic and techniques. Some knew the art of lust and pleasure. Hellhound knew of succubus, particularly. There were male versions of them but the beast girl didn't exactly picture Zorn as one of them. He was more, to her, the typical demon lord making use of his power to dominate. This could mean sexually. Hellhound also grinned at the idea of the latter since she would admit to have needs at times and humans, females in preference, made the perfect toy to play with. Best when defeated as they were powerless to stop what was coming to them. The thought even made her blush slightly, with her tail suddenly wagging even. 'Play' had more than one meaning to her, for sure. Hellhound obviously did not aim for pregnancy with her antics as she was female herself and preferred to take over other females. No, it was a question of dominating, tasting, at times feeding on fluids, on other times sharing heat. Hellhound shook her head as she was letting intrusive thoughts take over her. "So you want me to find more about her, do you?"

Hellhound listened carefully, being confused a bit when Zorn mentioned the rabbit girl. But still... The fact she almost died on her first real battle was in the level of insulting. "Your old enemy was too powerful to get close to but I will get stronger. When I do, they won't see me coming. I just need to be faster, too.", she said with confidence, seeming pumped up and ready to fight more seriously. To this end, she would have to fight more humans and stronger opponents. For now, there remained the question of the rabbit girl. "Wait... You don't say...?", she grinned a bit, having a nefarious thought in mind as she continued playfully, "She is related to you, is that it...? ♪ Is a human related to you? But that would means...", she suddenly gasped.

Hellhound wandered some more, having no idea that she was being followed. At least, at first. She was still unaware that Zorn was even still around to begin with. If his scent lingered around somehow, she only thought it would be from being here at least once. There was a possibility that he was still in this place but she was not exactly worried about it. She had no reason to fear him as of that moment and while she could playfully avoid him this time, her mind was mostly on something else. Now that she had found magical girls, she wanted to become stronger. Hellhound was normally a forced to be reckoned but she had been defeated like she was a newbie. This annoyed her but this also motivated her to become stronger. As she was thinking this, she was standing in a hallway, thinking she was alone. A noise of sort attracted her attention, however. Her eyes shifted to look at what was growing closer and a small surprise could be seen on her face before she smiled devilishly. "You... You're still here and you're following Hellhound. I thought you were gone after I almost died.", she spoke playfully and did not even seem upset for any reasons. She was tougher than to complain about him not showing up and besides, she had some kind of plans now. "I don't think you came to say hi, right? ♪ What do you want...?", she spoke with the same tone as before, not really showing any hesitation or fear regarding him. She didn't really bow to demons, either.

Hellhound somehow managed to get a piece of meat for herself. Nothing too big, just enough to fulfill her stomach. She was not exactly a big eater, depending on her mood. Afterward, she would leave on her way and, strangely, she minded her manners a little for when it came to this home's traditions. It didn't stop her from playfully sneaking around in her own style when nobody looked. She did not really do much to hide after eating and probably would be found easily, just curiously exploring the place until she'd be in the mood to leave.

@SataiRolePlayingGuy Should I make Hellhound respond since you double posted searching for her or should I actually wait before I post?

Hellhound had found her way to that place, following the scent of food. It was not what she had expected but it worked just the same. Surely that piece of meat cooking over the fire was not put there for her but she was so hungry that it did not matter to her. Still, she was not going to just steal it but she wanted a piece of it. Looking at the mazone who politely had bowed to her, she simply waved her hand to her before she headed to the one who was cooking the meat. Now, Hellhound was not sure how to go forward with this but she sure looked hungry and her mind seemed to overthink about what to do in this situation. She always had been a hunter before but she nearly had died and she was not anywhere familiar. Quietly for now, Hellhound sat near the fire but her eyes stared at the cooking boar for a bit. Even her tail anxiously moved from one side to another. "Hungry...", she murmured.

Hmm, not sure what you mean to "will leave it open." As in someone playing her pet or? Also, the reason I mentioned it is that I may want to have a Kero pet or the likes for one of my characters. Or maybe even Mitsuko herself if some sleeping guardian is within her sword. I searched however but didn't find anything good yet. I am not in a rush to make a bad choice and if I don't find anything fitting, I will just not do it for her. Mitsuko is already potentially strong by herself so a fighting pet might overpower her. (I do lot of thinking often.) It's already funny I wanted to bring an existing magical girl sometimes but felt like it might be, I dunno... Awkward maybe. Fan characters might or not work...

Reminds me I still have replies to write up, which I need to do today hopefully. But yes, at least I got something started. I just dunno when "tomorrow" happens in the convention. People seem pretty busy with having some fun as it is. I'm reading what I can of it. Until I get some opening sometimes. (Probably at the end of it all. :P)

So for now, there's nothing much I can do until Mitsuko gets a chance to come back. And Exzel shows up to tell us what she is doing while the two wander.

Hellhound's instincts seemed to be to follow any scent of food at this moment, as she was making her way toward where she could find some. Not being dead yet meant being able to enjoy some food of some sort. Surely there was a kitchen or the likes or any food she could steal. Whether someone would try to limit where she could go or not, it didn't stop her from sneaking around. Her body was slightly stiff from the forced recovery but she was tough enough to endure it, especially in motivation of finding something she can eat. If she spotted Zorn anywhere on her path, she would try to sneak, not really letting him find her easily. Not like she expected to see him anyway. She remembered the demon woman and that this place was her home but she still didn't know if he was around. The problem with trying to sneak where she was would be that she was still a dark beast girl in an otherwise well lit place. If it was well lit, anyway. Her long tail would follow a trail behind her as well, making it visible if she turned around a corner to find her destination somewhere.

The next day, at the fortress, Hellhound finally woke up inside her healing bath. Stirring out of her sleep, she looked around, slowly remembering where she was. Her body had healed pretty well enough, outside and inside, thanks to the liquid she was left inside for a while. Not waiting for anyone to tell her, she stood slowly and jumped outside of the tub, feeling somewhat different. With the experience she had, her body had ground a little stronger already, with her cells being reborn and made stronger. She felt ready for a new fight already. But for now, she sniffed around, not really feeling Zorn anywhere near her. Alone, it seemed. If she was still at Exzel's place then she was in a demon's home. No humans should be there unless some were made prisoners. Her first priority was to find one of them, wondering if Zorn was even around. Perhaps he was gone. Without Ado, she tried to leave the area, looking around and poking around curiously. Recovery or not, the only thing it did not heal was her hunger. After however long she had slept, she required to find something to eat.
