[@CelesteEste] Ah yeah, sorry I thought it was more of an implication.

The old guard would for sure be directly on a first name basis cause y'know naturally they'd have to have fought shadow beasts together in their youth and did so for years as a loosely united vigilante kind of group until they were more obligated to do things in their adult life such as how Ms.Sparky over there had a kid, or alternatively had a falling out with the rest of the group due to personality clashes like the Ice Queen did. But they all know each other very very well.

As for the new generation, they act individually with no particular requirement to work with each other or their old gen teachers for that matter. They may know each other from say something like school environments when appropriate and around the same age group but they would have no idea that they are magical girls until that's made apparent in the RP. That being said, they also have very little understanding of their actual duties outside of the fact that now if they try [i]really[/i] hard they can shoot flames or conjure ice spikes, bend metal and do cool little force lightning attacks. Or in the case of my little green poofball over there, flowers actually bloom now when she talks to them and she can make things move though it's really hard and she's way too weak to move tree branches. Nature gets the short end of the stick starting out, but y'know character progression!

And to clarify that last question, no the elders can't particularly [i]track[/i] the new generation but they [i]do[/i] know they're there. Since they share a power source and all they can feel ripples in the energy, and it's implied they know of the object that selects the magical girl candidates to begin with which is a sentient force that could aid them in finding them. However that takes time as well, and can be why it took them a week or two to approach them. And to offer yet another alternative, it ain't too hard to notice a girl shooting lightning out of her fingertips so maybe they just went looking for them outright and needed some time to find them.

Sorry about that! A few things slipped through the cracks while writing everything I guess. I hope this helps!
