Twisted Light - A Dystopic Magical Girl RP

Will post something after I sleep, apologies for the short absence. I was super on the fence about what I wanted to do with this interaction, so I had to think about it a lot, but if everybody's having fun hunting witches, I don't want to miss out. I think I'll have Chloe really try to push Yume's buttons so that some punching happens. In the words of our lady Vi... "Punch first. Ask questions while punching!"

(I may have been playing some League of Legends lately. Maybe it shows.)

Edit: The best part of playing a Chaotic Neutral character is that I don't need much justification to totally change the mood~

Respect to all the homies stuck in college doing finals and stuff. Seems like the whole of RPG's slowed to a crawl, not just this thread. I've been out of work lately so I've had the opposite problem. Here's hoping before too long we can all get back on routine.

Chloe frowned. "Rude to respond to a question with a question, girl. That's just bad play." She had to think about how to respond to this turn of events, or whether she wanted to respond at all. "...No, not classified. It just doesn't mean anything. Name's Chloe, if you must know." This girl seemed reticent, though given Chloe's all-too-sudden approach from the darkness, she supposed it was probably natural.

"If you're not with Aurora, it's dangerous to be out at night because it's easier to start a fight. The agents here'll kill ya. But if you are, well, I suppose I'm the one who's potentially getting killed tonight, aren't I? That's dangerous for me. So you and me meeing, see, that's either a super bad omen, or else," Chloe leaned a little closer, though she was standing pretty far away in the first place, "maybe it's 'destiny.'" Chloe grinned, all teeth like a hungry shark. Something about the way this person had responded had set off her mischief sensor, and what had potentially been an average nightly encounter had turned into an opportunity for play. And like a puppy, even when she was exhausted, Chloe could always make time to play with toys.

Shoving her hands in her pockets, Chloe gazed up at the sky innocently. "Didn't say nothing like that, ma'am, though thanks for reaffirming my belief." She let her eyes return to the girl in front of her. "I'm not exactly in the mood for a throwdown myself, but there's just certain things you can't be too careful of, you know. In my case, I've gotta watch my own back. You with the city? Or are you one of those rogues I've heard so much about these days?"

Chloe kept her face totally blank of expression for the time being. She wasn't really sure why she was egging this girl on before she even knew the girl's name. Perhaps she was just more stressed out than she was willing to admit. Either way, something in her brain, her programming, was compelling her to keep speaking instead of just moving on like she would any other day.

Oh, timely :p No worries on the wait, that school stuff is important, or so they tell me.

Twisted Light - A Dystopic Magical Girl RP

Gonna wait a couple more days for Storm. It's school time and stuff right about now, isn't it? But after a bit, Chloe's gonna disengage so as not to be left behind in the shuffle.

Haha, I think everybody's been busy with school and stuff. I'm so out of touch with that stuff, I just know when RPs slow down and all my friends aren't around on skype I imagine some delays were to be expected. Nice to see everybody show up for roll call anyway, it's reassuring.

Chloe shrugged at the man's apology. "Nah, I'd doubt me too. You were in the right. But my stance hasn't changed. You guys can do you and I'll do me, and as long as our goals are the same, we'll make strides together." Was she just bashful? In truth, things like compliments and apologies didn't sit well with her. She had been reviled her whole life, after all. Sudden changes in tone like this caught her off guard.

"Anyway, that's all I wanted. I'll be off again. If my contact needs your help, I'll be in touch again, but I'm sure y'all can handle yourselves with that information. I look forward to seeing some fireworks before long. Good luck, fellas."

With a brief wave, Chloe threw her headphones back on, streaming sound into her brain with great force, and drowning out the world around her as she left. She was tired from the day's events so far, but at the same time, it wasn't like she had any particular place to go. The 'home' she had set up was quite a ways away, and it wasn't much more than an abandoned, bloodstained warehouse in the first place. When it came to sleep, anywhere would do. She knew of a park nearby that had a few trees; if nobody was around, that would do nicely. The weather was clear enough, for now at least.

After some time walking, however, she was disappointed to see that somebody was, in fact, there. Making a disappointed noise under her breath, she was about to turn away, but something about this girl caught her eye. And the smell around her was unmistakeable. There had been a witch around here, and this was a Magical Girl. Chloe had had just about enough of her own ilk for one day, but something inside her head demanded she engage this girl. It was an impulse that would not have made sense or had any purchase with anybody else, but to Chloe, this was just the natural order.

"Hullo miss. I couldn't help but notice you sitting there all by your lonesome. You'll get eaten up by witches if you stay out too late, you know."

Since Lennon's out, I suppose I'll boot Chloe over to Yume somehow so's not to leave her adrift. That should be interesting.

Edit: Also don't ask why Chloe can smell magical girls and witches because she's probably just bullshitting :p

Chloe nodded. Their business was finally concluded. She didn't say another word, smart enough to realize that was probably the best course of action in the tense room. Her self-defense instinct told her than any wasted words might chip away at her life. Instead, she turned and left the room, leaving the other two magi alone to discuss what would surely be some sort of plot. But that, as she had told Maria, was not any of Chloe's business. She knew these political types enough to know they were never trustworthy, but Chloe herself was just as bad, if not worse. Chloe had never met a predictable magical girl.

The guards at the gate had been told of her arrival, and she waved jovially to a few who were standing stiff, their fingers on the triggers of their guns. Now free and uncaring as she was of being followed, she reverted back to human form and grasped her soul gem tightly in her hands. She would need a grief seed, and soon. But for now, she had a delivery to make.

Knocking on the door of the safehouse she had so recently left, she forced her way in the door after giving all the proper safe words and planted the items she had received on the table.

"Brought you a gift, to solidify a new friendship. Up for a little sabotage?"
