Yeah, checking up mostly. Considered jumping back in, but not really sure about that. This RP has a way of getting away from me after a while.

Wow!

Now THAT was a power up!

Mac felt like she could take on just about anyone. Her physical side had always been a bit lacking, but now she was quite mighty. Haha! Maybe she could do some good with this. Only time could tell. But before she could be good, she had to be bad.

”It always helps to have a plan B.”

— Nuncio

_{@PlatinumSkink@ERodeI’d type a joke here but you wouldn’t see it. Unless you used the guild’s RAW function. In which case, congratz.}

It was never pleasing to have to wait for answers, and that went doubly so when your girlfriend was held by the Mint. It didn’t even sound like Sammy being in the warehouse was a sure thing. Nuncio just wanted to know how much longer he had to chase Sammy. He would never abandon the search, but this was the Mint they were dealing with. They probably could make someone like Sammy just vanish without a trace.

Nuncio folded his arms and sighed. His thoughts had been getting darker as the week whent on. He thought he would of had an answer by now. He found himself wondering what he’d do once this turned up nothing. It was one thing to try and rescue someone, and another thing to do it without knowing if they were even there, or still alive. In Nuncio’s head this was starting to feel more and more like a quest to discover Sammy’s fate rather than Sammy herself. He did not know what his reason for staying in Penrose would be if she wasn’t here.

Nuncio turned to Amaryllis.

During this entire ordeal, she had been the most helpful. Yes, she needed the help of Mariette, and Brittany also tried to help Nuncio out, but Amaryllis was the first person who offered to help without expecting anything in return. And she was so modest about her involvement with the whole thing. Nuncio realized that she was largely motivated because Sammy was her friend rather than she took pity on Nuncio. But that was fine. If Sammy was gone, she could be the reason why he remained in Penrose.

He needed to confirm he wasn’t having impure thoughts though. Nuncio really didn’t want to become like that Italian stereotype. He would be lying if he said he didn’t find Amaryllis’s beauty on a level that Sammy couldn’t possibly hope to match, but that didn’t make him one of those. He’d never do anything if Sammy was still alive though. Which she probably was. But in the off chance she wasn’t…

Before Nuncio could think much longer on it, he realized that Mariette had offered Him Fabio back. Amaryllis was also looking at him. He wondered how long they had been watching him smile and frown to himself.

Nuncio accepted Fabio, and placed him on top of Rosa’s head. ”If we cause a ruckus, we risk someone escapin’ with Sammy.” He pulled out an anatomy doll and pointed its head into the air. ”Since we got Fabio here, he can case the join without causin’ a fuss.” The doll projected an image of Fabio’s point of view. He seemed to be looking at Mariette. ”Once we get a good look inside, we should have no problems sneakin’ in. If we even feel like it’s worth doin’.” Nuncio patted Rosa. ”If we get caught, You got a sword and I got Rosa.”

It always paid to have a plan B, after all.

“Boys are best, but a Ronin is okay too I guess.”

— Tetrad

_{@PlatinumSkink@AtomicNut}

Tetrad didn’t know why she wanted to talk to the mystery boy so badly. It was obvious he had his eyes set on a big prize, and Tetrad didn’t like to be second pickings for anyone. Perhaps it was the simple joy of dancing with a boy that she wanted. Those were in short supply, at least now that few non-magical entities resided in Penrose. But as much as she wanted to dance, it was just rude to bother him while he was talking to Cindy. Besides, a guy dressed like that probably valued manners to some degree. And this was Cindy. She wasn’t going to do anything with some new guy. She’d just have to find something to pass the time while she waited for his business to conclude.

Oh look, a tiny Ronin!

“Roniiiiiiin!” Tetrad kneeled in front of the small girl. “So that’s what you look like. I’m going to have to yell at Veronica, she didn’t tell me you were fun sized.” She extended her hand for a shake. “Tetrad’s the name. Not sure how into the whole Japanese sword person thing you are, but you might want a strawberry sake. Strawberry margaritas are also good.”

Tetrad was never old enough to drink. But that never stopped her friends from making her cocktails.

*Intense glare*

*Intense smile*

— Lotus & Faith

Lotus and Faith were stationed in Cindy’s general vicinity. Close enough to hear her talk but far enough away to not interfere with her dealings. They were mostly here to discuss things with her once the party had died down.

Faith was content to dance with strangers. She laughed, commended them, and moved on. There was no particular order to who she picked as a dancing partner. So long as they weren’t dancing with anyone and didn’t give off a murderous vibe, she’d approach them. Also, she didn’t move too far away from Lotus.

Lotus, for her part, could have been mistaken for a bouncer. She floated at about eye level with the tallest girls in the joint and scanned her surroundings for threats. Most of her time was spent looking out for Faith, but her eyes occasionally drifted over to Connie. Lotus would not soon forget their sparring match, and was determined to make sure she survived until the next one. Her tiny hands were balled into fists.

“Baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me, no mo’.”

— ‘Ronica

_{@Majoras End@FamishedPants}

Something was wrong.

The magical world was a confusing place. Nothing was certain, and few things were consistent. Least of which were people. But at the very least, Veronica could be happy that she herself could remain consistent. A leader needed to have a vision, and to have the ability to guide their agents to that vision. People who don’t know their desires can’t reliably pursue them. They will get distracted, chase targets that don’t matter, and waste everyone’s time. Fickle people make poor leaders too.

Though her consistency had been wanting recently. Dressing up in sexy swimsuits, buying things that she wanted rather than needed, signing contracts that benefit both parties, trying to get a doll commissioned, inviting her agents into her mansion, worrying about their mental state, allowing one to pick an outfit for her while also enjoying an idle conversation. None of these things she had ever done before, and they all happened within the past couple of weeks. She was slipping.

When Veronica attempted to track these changes back, she noticed that it all happened after she decided to officially start Crimson Cradle. There had to be a connection somewhere. Somehow being able to read the thoughts of her agents was poisoning her. She would need to find a way to fix this.

“We’re here.” Veronica and Maura were standing outside the warehouse where the rave was held. “That’s not exactly a subtle magical aura, is it? I’ll meet you in the party shortly.” Veronica stepped off to the side and placed her fingers on her temple. Now that she was alone, she could focus.

There was a gigantic magical aura blanketing the place. Her third eye wasn’t picking up anything but that aura, and it was so massive she couldn’t even pin point its location. Fortunately, that wasn’t the only tool Veronica had for examining an area. She preferred to use her ability to sense minds for that. There wasn’t a lot Veronica could discern without attempting to break into someone mind, but she could still pick up useful information at a glance. She could tell one apart from another as well as gauge how strong or corrupt a mind was. It was a bit like looking at people. It was easy to tell if someone was a body builder or not, as well as how healthy they looked.

She learned some interesting details. The locations of some key targets, possible beacon and mint reinforcements, even the location of Mariette. But that was all to be expected. What bothered her most was who wasn’t here.

Chloe.

After her repeated meetings, that was one person she could pick out fairly easily. But she wasn’t here. She was inspecting the area, clearly involved with its set up, but she wasn’t here to enjoy it?

With a growl, Veronica placed a hand over her face. Her searching hadn’t yielded anything useful. Aside from the fact that something bad was coming. But as Sam said, ‘water is wet.’ She had no idea what to do.

But an indecisive leader was a useless one.

“At this time, there’s just a small group of magical girls hiding on some rooftops. I do not believe it is necessary to keep a lookout for them, only to be aware they exist. Our main objective is inside the rave.”

After messaging her agents, Veronica entered the rave. It was tempting to stay outside, but she dressed up to be seen.

”TFW no GF :(”

— Nuncio

Not far behind Amaryllis was Nuncio. He was squatting beside his tiger, grooming her with a come. Regardless if you used a whetstone or a brush, it payed to keep your weapons in top shape.

”’Least we got backup, eh?” He chuckled.

Like Amaryllis, he found it interesting that the rave and the warehouse they were going to investigate were so close together. He didn’t think it was awkward though. Awkward implied a certain amount of surprise. The girl in the bunny suit might have felt awkward going to a rave dressed like that. But if that was just her magical girl outfit and she showed up to a rave dressed as herself, then it couldn’t be awkward. Her friends might feel awkward, but she might not.

Penrose is a vortex of shit. A hurricane that draws things into its center and eviscerates them. The eye of the storm was always moving, and it was currently hovering over their location. Nuncio wouldn’t be surprised if beacon was on a nearby building scoping out the place. Might as well throw a few rival factions into the mix. Might as well add a horror. Hell, maybe two horrors. It was never simple in Penrose.

Sammy was the only reason he hadn’t skipped town yet. He really hoped she was alright. Mint weren’t the generous sort. Keeping a scatterbrained detective like Sammy alive only mattered if they thought she knew something. They were likely interested in making red coins, but the real question was if they felt Sammy could lead them to Binky. Hopefully that question would be answered soon. Sammy kept him up at night. Being the Mint’s plaything wasn’t something he wished on his worst enemy.

Rossa groaned before laying her head in the snow. She could only take so much pampering. Nuncio was willing to bet swords weren’t this picky.

Did someone quote me over here? I'm so confused. I got a random notification I was quoted in one of the in character posts.

@Dusty

Damn son this is hilarious.

Okay so one of the players does this thing where he uses the quote function to have characters say things before they do a thing. One of those characters happens to be called Dusty. Since "Dusty" is one of my characters and this was the result of a collab, this type of thing shouldn't happen in the future. But if it does, feel free to ignore it.

Tripple is probably closest to what I am, though I do share the Killager's love for apples.
