I love my supporting cast in "Magica Riot," too, like Saoirse, the rather colorful & eccentric magical armorer of our Portland magical girls.

The instruments have a kind of life, because magic is part of life!"
"Aye, that's a good way to look at it," Saoirse said as she slipped on a set of goggles and laid my keytar onto her workbench. "My master armorer back at Tokyo HQ always called it 'the resonance,' the way magica comes alive in thaumatite and magical girls. Sympathetic cosmic frequencies, and what have you."
She unbolted a panel on the back of the keytar and removed it to reveal a glimmering, crystalline structure embedded in a piece of circuitry so futuristic and complicated-looking that I couldn't even begin to make sense of it.
"Let's see what we've got here," she continued as she tapped a button on the side of her goggles. They extended like zoom lenses on a camera, and she leaned in close to the crystals, studying them intently. "Good growth structure here." She glanced up at a nearby computer display filled with numbers and graphs. "Strong energy profile. I'd say this keytar likes you, Miss Claire."
