La Fille aux Cheveux de Lin

[Mami Tomoe]

Mami had found a strange sense of pride and energy in her every step, a feeling she had not had for a long time. While she hunted Witches and Familiars out of necessity and for the safety of others, it wasn't exactly a thing done for pleasure, and it was nice to do something physical that wasn't work but for leisure. Exploring this land, even if it was a bit slow and at times predictable, was calming but exciting at the same time - Perhaps that was the appeal wandering Magical Girls saw, for they were not stuck in one area and could instead travel as they did their work. Maybe that extended to normal jobs, as well, though being a Magical Girl could hardly be considered a job in the traditional sense.

Mami was beginning to feel tired, which only seemed fitting, as she had been wandering for far more than she was used to. It seemed to be about time for some sort of break, but where would she stay? She could see no signs of civilization for miles - Save for that fortress off far in the distance and some sort of floating island... Perhaps she would look into that someday... Wait, floating island? Mami double-took and blinked rapidly. She couldn't believe her eyes - This had to be a dream, or something - It couldn't be reality now. But it was far too coherent to be a Witch or Familiar's barrier. But what kind of explanation for this place was there? Or was she just looking too far into things where she would find nothing?

No, no, no. Searching for answers where none existed would get her nowhere. She needed something to do - But how would she go about finding something like that? She didn't exactly have a duty here - All she could do was wander until something popped up. Or she could make something pop up with this Omnilium she was being metaphorically bogged down with. Hoping she knew what she was doing, Mami cupped her hands with her arms extended in front of her and began to focus. She began to see the rainbow form in her hands - The Omnilium she had seen not long ago was working before her eyes, and it would soon form something that could give her purpose. But what that object was? That was beyond her. Whatever it was, she was content to have it, and was glad it was small, for fear this was some situation like an ill-willed genie - Wish for something and some terrible twist befalls it, but it luckily didn't seem that way, at least not yet.

After about five or six minutes of unbroken focus, Mami found herself staring at a golden-yellow device with a large screen and a number of keys. It was small enough to fit in a pocket, though she had none, and had a sort of clip so she could put it on her outfit somewhere, though she worried little about that for the time being. She looked at it curiously and sifted through various options on the machine - Some things on the machine were familiar-sounding, but not familiar truly. Eventually she found something that simply screamed THIS IS YOUR PURPOSE to her:

Bounties in Coruscant, followed by a number of names, head prices and conditions. It didn't seem as heroic as witch hunting, but it would do for now. Someone specific called out to her on that list - Most notably due to the word Wizard - Which made her wonder, were there perhaps others with the same abilities as herself? Maybe instead of Magical Girls, here...

Mami broke into a sprint for the gate - All she needed was to pass someone by in that Nexus and get some directions. Black duster. Staff and rod. Last seen heading for the Vasty Deeps gate. Approach with caution...

After a while spent running, Mami slipped through the gate, preparing her eyes for the blinding white of the Nexus as she did so. Now just where would I find Harry Dresden?
