Skyside 8: Base Violence and Unnecessary Change

[Rebonack]

[Slaver's Street Orphanage]

The strange white catfox' jewel-like eyes glitter for a moment and-

Your wish is granted. The paperwork has been signed and your new parents will be arriving tomorrow to pay your adoption fee and take you home. If the enemy destroys the orphanage, that process may become more difficult. You do not have to prevent this, but doing so may be in your best interest. To that end-

Those dangling 'ears' rise up, suddenly looking far larger and far more hand-like in some alien and uncanny way.

And then in one smooth motion they reach inside the dwarf girl and withdraw what appears to be a crystal Faberge egg with a gold stand and filigree. At it stop will be a little gold symbol that represents, in some capacity, who the dwarf is as a Magical Girl. The catfox offers it back to her. Holding the gem in her hands, the girl will know that she can disguise it as a bit of jeweler on her person or use it to transform into her Magical Girl state.

This is your Magical Girl gem. Guard it carefully, since it is the source of your magic. As you use up your magic it will grow darker. To cleanse it and refill your magic, you must defeat creatures of despair and negative emotions known as Witches. This is one of the primary duties of Magical Girls, as normal people can neither see nor defend themselves from Witches. If you have any further questions please ask them quickly, as I have more girls to grant wishes to in the time I have available.

The dwarf could bail on the orphanage right now-
-but then how would she meet up with her new adopted parents?
