Alicia arrived at the park for the meeting with a confident step in her transformed state. She was as prepared as she could all, with all things considered. There had not been much success in scrying so she wasn't able to provide much in the way of information for the gathering. But she had managed to leverage their connections as a larger organization to get items that would be useful in the defense of the city when the Queen of Hearts came knocking on their door, and some of it might be useful in the rescue mission as well. 

[color=aba000]"Penny, Lily,"[/color] Alicia said with a small nod as she greeted the other magical girls. That Penny's look had changed a bit once again was not too surprising, and she didn't see much of a need to pry further into what circumstances had led to this particular change. They could talk about it later, once they weren't as preoccupied with serious things. 

For now it was a matter of waiting to see who else, if anyone, would show up. She was moderately hopeful in that regard, since nothing had happened to make them less likely to succeed as far as she was aware. Alicia just hoped that she would be able to make it to the actual rescue this time, unlike what happened when the situation was reversed. [color=aba000]"I'm ready to head out too, once we're sure that we have everyone who is going to be here."[/color] she added.
