Strapping herself in like a responsible driver, Anne put on a pair of white gloves, shifted the car to D, and zoomed off, obeying all traffic laws like the most lawful good motorist on the planet. Though magical girls were naturally incapable of being observed by other human beings, that same ‘invisibility’ was toggled off for the vehicles she generated. High competence in driving skill, under normal circumstances, meant that she had to go with the flow of traffic rather than dodge cars like a Fast and Furious movie, after all, and for that to be done, other drivers had to be aware of her Roll Royce’s existence. As roads got more populated, eyes were certainly drawn to the luxurious vehicle as it road smoothly up and down slopes, glimpses of a beautiful girl in a maid uniform caught behind the windshield.

Anne’s focus, though, was upon the magical atmosphere instead. Relying on her Competence to subconsciously move her body had become second nature for the Magical Maid, leaving her mind to stretch out beyond the road that she operated on. Vices in abandoned areas were elusive and could prey upon human beings without retaliation, but Vices in populated areas grew up faster, their life cycles accelerated by the density of a society. And, lo and behold, as the Rolls Royce rolled into the downtown area of Kaigo City, with its high rises and its overworked salarymen, Anne spotted the blooming of another beast easily enough. Thirty-two stories above, upon the rooftop of Westbanks Tower, an aberration of magical signature could be felt, throbbing like a tell-tale heart.

Blue eyes flickered towards the sidewalk. No parking. Blasted downtown streets. Turning to Bulwark, Anne offered a half-smile before unlocking the doors.
