She goes out promptly to look for breakfast. (Lunch. Brunch. Whatever.)

There are a variety of restaurants. One calls itself Tara's and advertises SANDWICHES - BREAKFAST - EGGS - PASTRIES and there are various ethnic foods and the expensive Italian place and many of these keep their menus outside.

She'll go to the first one she comes to, today, and then take them in order thereafter, that should work fine.

Tara's has, indeed, SANDWICHES - BREAKFAST - EGGS - PASTRIES on its menu.

The third thing in the third section of the menu is an egg salad sandwich; she'll have that. With a glass of milk.

Presently she receives an egg salad sandwich and a glass of milk! It comes with a pickle and a house salad.

She eats the pickle but ignores the salad; next time she'll have to remember to tell them to skip it. Bill?

The waitress gives her the bill.

She's been paying attention to the other tables to see how they handle paying here, and takes the bill up to the register.

"Thank you, come again!" says the cashier.

Thank you!

Tip, and out she goes. To, hmm. Pet store first, if she goes to the library she'll definitely get distracted.

The pet store is much livelier during the day.

And has kittens! Do they let you pet the kittens.

You may pet but not pick up the kittens.

That seems like a pretty reasonable rule. She pets the kittens, after letting them sniff her hand and get used to her for a minute. (Soft. Gosh.)

Kittens smell her and bat her hand with their paws.

Ee.

There are a couple toys in the enclosure for the kittens to play with; she spends a little while tossing them to be pounced on and getting an idea of the kittens' personalities.

This kitten is FIERCE! This one is lazy. This one is more interested in her hand than the toys. This kitten is more interested in the other kittens.

Well, she knows which one she likes, if they end up getting one of these kittens. (The one that's more interested in her than the toys, of course.) She hangs out a little while longer and then goes to the library.

The library is quiet and full of books.

So many books. She wanders around looking at the signs for a while and then checks out the section on magical girls.

Magical girls are scattered around. There's a bit about their biology and shapeshifting, and some about cryptids, and about swarms at Dewey Decimal 574. They have a history section in a sub-part of 908. Thaumatology squeezes in with long decimal expansions under 290. 112 is about magic proper, including magical girl fashion.

She's going to want to check out all of those, but magic and fashion are the most immediately interesting.

Then in 112 she can find books titled things like Impossible Wearables and Energy Bolts and A Visual Dictionary of Costumery and One Thousand Motif Ideas and Noncombatant Powers and Limits to the Violation of Physics and Swarm Sense and Quantifying Magic and Similar Spells and An Inquiry Into the Determinants of Specialties and Starscape.

She will take the Visual Dictionary and Motif Ideas for now and come back for the rest later.
