Ah A2, she was nearly Penny's FC if I'm being honest. Spent a fair bit of time trying to find a good piece of art that I liked but never did. looking forward to the robots running into each other.

@Ariamis

Back into the interrogation room, as that was what it was regardless of how they wanted to rename it. Aurelio just sat there for a long while looking at Rachel with a stern searching gaze. “You are playing with fire Rachel.” He would say eventually shaking his head slowly before taking off his top hat and monocle, the articles of clothing simply vanishing into air as he set them down, his stern visage never wavering as he did so.

“Any inroads that I might have made are likely gone with my absence and your actions. As I’ve never hidden that I am Beacon to the community here. And the one girl that I expect does have the connections that you have accused me of having is likely on your black list.” He would continue as he slowly stood. “I only hope that your quick to judgment stance hasn’t turned her against us. For Penny is a force to be reckoned with and you are currently holding everyone she considers a friend in Beacon in captivity. She may hold a Spark, but that won’t stop her if you aren’t careful. Because I’ve seen your work before, and this could easily backfire on you in ways that we simply aren’t prepared for right now if you don’t take caution”

Aurelio would carefully walk closer to the leader of The Ascendency “But I will still take you tracking device” He would say as he gently picked up the rather intricate piece of magic “And I will do my best to find out the location of this party, as you might have a point, as we once again have more enemies then friends here in Penrose. But,” It was time to let them know that Kindness didn’t mean push over. “I will not wear this until I know for sure that is that case.” He would openly place the relic into his inner jacket pocket before turning around to walk back to the other side of the table. “I will not further your abject assault without cause. There is no Kindness in genocide after all.”

He let his gaze linger on Rachel for a few moments after he said his piece, wondering if anything he said would have any impact. He wanted to say more, wanted to tear into her for destabilizing Beacon now, when it needed that solidarity the most. Wanted to rail at her for destroying what work this branch had done in restoring its public image. He wanted to tell her that the only one would could judge him was his own Beckoner; for he knew damn well knew what was in his contract. Instead he said nothing and after a few moments he simply winked out of existence, teleporting himself back to the containment room, not bothering to care if it was rude or not, he would spend what time he could with his friends before the trial.

Penrose had been turned into a desolate city and little drove that point home more than Penny’s travel through the city. It was hardly a few hours after dark, but the city felt empty of humans. There was no one out on the streets, everyone one still here knew better then to go wandering out once the sun set now a days, alongside the increased trash that was left lying about due to the trash collectors not wanting to endanger themselves and the scores of abandoned cars all added together to give the city a very bleak atmosphere.

The worst part of it all? Monsters seemed more than willing to simply wander around looking for unfortunate souls, which was why Penny wasn’t currently dealing with any of the lich attacks. ‘This was not what I was expecting when I went out looking for monster s to hunt’ The robotic girl would muse to herself as she ducked under another crazed swipe before stepping into the creatures guard and punching her arm through its torso. ‘Twenty six’

She had exited the sewers a few blocks into downtown Penrose, and had almost on accident stumbled into a mob of beasts that had been prowling about the city looking for prey. Granted none of them had been more than a mook class threat, but there was something to be said about the sheer number of them she had stumbled across. The fight, if it could really be called that, had proven to be one sided very early as Penny simply tore through the creatures, as most of them had been too weak to really have a classification of any kind and it had quickly devolved into Penny hunting down as many as she could once they had scattered, before they could vanish into the night.

A part of her was vaguely disappointed that she was more or less stuck on grunt clean up duty due to stumbling into them, and hopped that the more major fights were going decently, but knew that leaving this pack alone would likely have spawned even more trouble down the line.

She leaned back wards nearly folding in half to dodge a pair of attacks from either side, before transitioning into a hand stand to kick off the heads of her attackers Twenty seven and twenty eight’ just to flow into a back hand spring to continue the chase.

That wasn’t to say she was doing nothing else, these creatures hardly required any real focus to deal with. So she was simultaneously looking into the Beacon network, or more accurately its new firewall. It did come as something of surprise to see a majority of the network was closed off to her, and since she had logged on through the normal channels that meant a majority of Beacon’s members was locked out of the deeper parts of the network. She wondered why, she knew that it was the fault of the Ascendancy, the error messages when she tried to go somewhere that was locked told her that much, but that didn’t explain why.

Made her wonder if they were hiding anything and if- her train of thought was cut off as a monster landed a blow to her back. One that did little more than leave scratches on her and which both her and the creature watched heal near instantly. ‘Twenty nine’

She took a quick glance around the alleyway she had been in before sighing. Some had gotten away, but she had culled a fair portion of them. She doubted that moving to join any of the other attacks would prove any help at this point seeing as it was possible to have too many people trying to fight something at once.

‘Perhaps I can go check out Brittney’s?’ she would wonder to herself before pausing in her internal planning to turn around, as she could hear the echoing of footsteps of something heading her direction.





>>Stage Rush?<<


@ERode

There was a running string of curses flowing though Viva’s mind as she touched back down. And it took her a few moments to realize that despite landing near front and center to the entire mob nothing was moving to attack her. She even double checked her surrounding to make sure that nothing was creeping up on her before letting out a quiet “Huh” that was lost in the wall of sound.

Slowly she dismounted from her bike, the vehicle vanishing in a ripple of light shortly afterwards. She continued to survey the surrounding, more than a bit bemused at the lack of hostility being directed at her. Until she noticed that she had been tapping along to the beat that is, the lack of proper indignation at being hypnotized also went a step towards realize that she was in much more danger then it first seemed like.

Closing her eye’s she took a deep breath, a moment later a pair of industrial strength earmuffs appeared in her empty hand, which she quickly put on. Then she proceeded to bite down on her lip. Hard. In fact she didn’t stop biting until she felt her teeth click and she could taste blood. When she once again open her eyes it was easy to tell that she was mad, but it was a cold anger. Kneeling down she placed her off hand against the ground and focused, carefully planning on the shape in her mind.

Normally the barriers and walls she conjured would shatter at the lightest touch of anyone but her, raining down either damaging or debilitating magic on whoever was unlucky enough to come in contact with it, but with a bit of time and effort she could restrain the destructive inclination of her magic and make the standard barriers her Specialization was more commonly known for.

A pair of moments later a glittering translucent ramp appeared leading up on to the stage, one that her allies in the battle could also use. Not waiting another second Viva raced up the ramp opening fire upon the Endsinger the moment she had a clear line of sight on her. A part of her hopped that part of the mob would follow after her, for if they did a curse of frenzy would turn them against the Endsinger as well. A translucent black sphere would appear in her off hand holding just a curse in case she got the chance to use it.
@Majoras End Eliza is one of the two that it would make sense to be able to stumble across the Sanctuary, since she's been there before, so if my word has any say on it I say it's fine for that to happen.

I've also got no problem with there being another Robot waifu either, the Aigis/Metis type angle would be interesting to play around with if you wanted to do such. Especially as Aigis was at least partial used for inspiration for Penny.

-=Ǝ Trouble in the Wings E=-

@Ariamis@Flamelord

Aurelio was outwardly unphased by Rachel’s rough attempts to get the truth from him. He was after all speaking the truth, regardless of how bizarre that it might be. Inwardly he was doing his best to mitigate his own annoyance. The Ascendency always took things so seriously and it was really rather off putting to the laid back magician.

He opened his mouth to continue his defense, but softly closed it when he heard the teleporters going off. After all it meant more information, and hopefully an update on his friends, seeing as only one of them had texted him back. So once again Aurelio quietly followed after Rachel, though he was hoping that it wouldn’t turn into a habit as he could feel the unease in the halls as she walk through them.

He was always impressed with the containment room. It was such an effective mix of all the rooms that he tended to hate mixed with a near ever presence of fear. Making it no surprise that he tended to avoid the places as much has he could, to say nothing about how his Vow tended to place him in uncomfortable situations when mixed with these rooms.

“Please, give me some credit” He would quip as he walked closer to the group “I didn’t walk anywhere. I teleported.” Aurelio would explain with puffed up swagger, which quickly deflated. “I’m glad you’re all okay though” He would say sincerely as he met the eyes of all of them, even going so far to give Sally a light hug.

He felt compelled to try and actively heal Kimble, as leaving her there hurt was such an act of cruelty that it near appalled him, but he knew that the Ascendency wouldn’t care that he was simply following his Vow and would condemn him for the simple act of Kindness. Still he couldn’t just do nothing; thus a soft blue light would start emanating from his cane as gentle waves of Compassion would start pouring off of it. With luck it would sooth Kimble’s injuries and promote quicker healing for them, but at the least it would offer some amount of comfort to her.

“I’ll try to be here for the trial” He would explain “I told them about Dan already, but she’s not buying it” he would explain with a nod towards Rachel “I admit a Lesser force being able to do what Dan did is odd, but I get the feeling that the two girls who showed up at the end might have had something to do with it. Also got a text from Penny as well, she seems to be fine for the moment, but got caught up in a monster attack already.” Which if the Magician was being honest was likely for the best, it wasn’t much of a stretch to assume that Penny would react poorly to the Ascendency, or that they would react poorly to her.





.:⋮Back to Reality⋮:.

@Rune_Alchemist @Ariamis

“I don’t think Cindy is the bossy type” Penny would say as stood up as well ”She does have the best understanding of what needs to be done at the Sanctuary though” Penny would continue, leading the way towards the door so she could open it back to the hidden Monster girl nest for the both of them.

“I’ll be back as soon as I can, but I just can’t shake the feeling that I might be a security risk right now” And that was at the top of her to-do list one the Monsters had been taken care of. She suppressed the urge to groan once again there was so much for her to do and it didn’t seem like she a lot of time to get it all done. ”Because of that I’m gonna head out as soon as we get back” she continued, obviously a bit down at the fact she had to leave so soon after she got back.

“I’ll call you when I learn anything” Penny would promise as she opened the door back to her Lair. She would stand in the doorway, making sure it stayed open, just long enough for Chloe to step through as well. Before she would begin heading speed walking towards the hole that lead to the other floors.

“Cindy!” She would call out as she walked “Back with Chloe” She would add gesturing towards the petit mage that was the robotic girls girlfriend. “I can’t stay however. Realized that I might be a security risk, so I’m off to deal with a Monster and make sure that I’m not a danger to the safety of this place.” Penny would summarize as she reached the edge of the hole. Turning towards the electrified girl Penny would accept the Red Coin before apologizing “I’m sorry I can’t stick around longer to help, but I’ll be back as soon as I can. I promise” Without another word She would drop down into what once was a bolt hole. Her hover jets would flare to life before she touched down and without looking back she would race off.

The first layer of pipes, the ones that Penny had set up to be actual Bolt holes were connected across all of the building in this area, but most of them were too small for anyone to traverse. A few of them were large enough to walk through if one was careful, and the one that Penny was currently racing through connected to the sewer system. It was also one of the few that had a door, of sorts. Reaching out magically the slab of metal at the end of the pipeline would drift open just wide enough for Penny to slip out before it quietly swung closed again. From the outside the entrance would once again go unnoticeable as Penny had painstakingly made sure that the section of wall that covered this escape was indiscernible from any of the other walls.

She would travel down here for a while before popping back up to the surface to help track down a Target. At the moment any of them would be a good way to de-stress.



Here Come A New Challenger!

@ERode @FamishedPants@BrokenPromise

Across Penrose Chaos had sprung up. Three separate Monster attacks were currently ongoing not to mention any number of lesser confrontations being forced by low members of Beacon and the so call dark forces they hunted. Thus it wasn’t as much of a surprise as it could have been that one such dark magical girl went unnoticed, even as she was racing through the City’s streets on her Motorcycle, a steel gray Kawasaki Ninja.

If one had an aerial perspective they would be able to tell that this new comer to Penrose wasn’t driving around randomly. They were following a simple search pattern, and thus obviously looking for something, or someone. Unfortunately for the newcomer this search pattern soon placed her driving head long into the writhing mass of Ghosts called to mosh by the Endsinger. “Of course I wouldn’t have any bloody luck today either!” The girl on the bike would curse to herself as she noticed the confrontation she was rapidly closing in on.

A translucent wall would appear in-between the girl and the hoard of dancing ghost and just a moment later it would shatter, due to the girl had drawn her revolver and fired it at the wall, sending destabilizing shards of magic into the teeming mass spirits. This would repeat itself three more times before the girl and her bike would finally reach the edge of the horde just in time for a translucent ramp to appear launching her above the spirits on the ground. Giving her a better line of sight on the lich causing this mess, at which she fired off the last two rounds in her gun, before gravity started to pull her back towards the ground.

.:⋮A stolen moment⋮:.

@Rune_Alchemist

Penny wasn’t offended by the near hostile reaction of her girlfriend; a loss of time was easy to see as a loss of control and Penny knew that Chloe needed a sense of control, knew better than most just what it was like to be denied that corrupted, twisted, need. “It’s alright” Penny would say as she gently wrapped her arms around Chloe again, her grip as light as she could make it so that the Spirit mage could tell that she could leave if she wanted. “T̷h̸̨ey will not touch you!” She'd promised with a surprising amount of venom as her eyes flashed dangerously. She would not suffer to let anyone take Chloe away from her.

Penny would take a moment to calm down before she would answer “And Better now.” A half smile on her face as she looked down at the girl in her arms. “I arrived in my Lair when I returned. Spent a while just reading the news feeds while I watched the girls and boys there, piecing things together. Eventually I noticed Cindy, and got confirmation that this isn’t just one of my nightmares.” She would explain leaning back into the couch as she spoke. “Also got a call from Amaryllis, there are already some monsters causing havoc. Liches from what I got told. It’s a mess all around.”

“There is so much to do and so little time right now.” Penny would say after a moment of just enjoying the moment of stolen relaxation. “Seems it would be best to get you and Cindy in contact, you both seem better than me at this whole setting things up for the corrupted girls, hell even this Vi-chan is better at it then I am” she would say with a self-depreciating chuckle before moving on ”Afterwards I was going to go out Hunting the liches, as I realized that I might be a security risk for the Lair. Beacon tends to keep tabs on its members, but I never really looked into if they can track me through the Spark, or just via phone line.” She would explain with a shrug and a sigh.

It felt like she needed to be in three places at once right now. She needed to figure out if it was safe for the Sanctuary for her to be there, needed to go get supplies from Brittny’s shop, needed to go hunting to take care of the Monsters that were acting up. Yet she could only do one thing at a time, it was more frustration then normal for the robotic girl.

“Think I would be able to take you to the Lair if I opened the door out of here first?” Penny asked as it would make things a lot easier if she could.


-=Ǝ Center Stage E=-

@Ariamis@Asuras

‘Tough crowd’ Aurelio would muse to himself as her found himself staring down a rather imposing great sword, or it would be imposing if he was worried in the slightest that he was about to be attacked. He had committed no crimes, had broken no tenants. Still, with smooth grace he re-positioned his cane so that it was planted on the ground in front of him his hands folded over the handle.

“Now, now. Is that really necessary?” he would ask Dawn casually his cheerful demeanor not phased in the slightest though a single brow was raised in question. He had to admit the amount of Determination coming from the warrior threatening him was rather impressive. Before he could get a reply or any foot hold in the room really, Rebecca would step up and begin giving a rather casual and lackluster request to join the Ascendancy. One that the magician could tell was false, if for no other reason than the amount of Fear pouring off of the girl next to him.

He tucked that little piece of trivia away under his hat however, and returned his attention back to Rachel when she once address him, and only barely managed not to roll his eyes. “Sylvia didn’t take us anywhere. Sylvia didn’t abandon Penrose or Beacon. All of us were abducted by a Lesser Force.” He would state loudly and clearly to everyone assembled in the room, before returning his cane to under his arm with a flourish and starting to follow after Rachel.

He doubted that anyone in the Ascendancy would really trust his words, but at the same time his words weren’t really meant for them. They were for the regular boys and girls in the room, the ones who knew Sylvia, Sally, and Alicia. It was to help reassure them that those they trusted didn’t disappear for no reason, that they hadn’t been abandoned.

The fact that it was true would be heard by any Light users in attendance and with luck spread far and wide.

Just before Aurelio exited the room after Rachel, he would turn back towards the assembled Beacon members with a concerned look on his face as he let his gaze wash over all of the rank and file who stood on the edges of the room. Suddenly he would crack a lopsided smile, grab his top hat and give a deep bow to the room.

From his hat a flock of doves would spring forth, all of them radiating Comfort, Compassion and Peace. They would fly around the room once or twice before vanishing, at which point Aurelio would stand back up and don his hat once more, a large friendly smile on his face. With a wave to them all he returned towards following Rachel off into the other areas of Beacon.





.:⋮No Brakes⋮:.

@Rune_Alchemist@Ariamis

She knew what Cindy was going to say before she said it. She had seen the news feeds, and the comments of Glimmer side of things helped fill in the gaps. That didn’t make hearing it any easier. “I am going to turn that waste of plastic inside out the first chance I get.” She would say through grit teeth, before she forced a deep breath and shunted her frustration, fear and even curiosity about how Cindy’s touch felt to the side.

They could be dealt with later; right now she had more important things to take care of.

“I’d be glad to help” She would say as she walked with Cindy towards the hole in the ground that once used to be a simple bolt hole and now lead towards the other layers of the Lair. “Also more thankful then ever no one from Beacon ever asked to see my home. What’s-” Penny would cut herself of mid word and mid stride, her eyes flickering with light as she accepted and processed all the electronic messages that had been sent her way.

“Shit” the robotic girl would say after a moments of silence. “We’ve got a few issues, and some good news.” She would explain to Cindy “Seems a trio of Monsters, liches I think, have begun to make a move. Friend of mine sent out a call for help which means they aren’t simply small time goons.”

Taking a sharp turn Penny started walking towards a door that likely gave many people a lot of questions as it lead to nowhere as there was just wall on the other side. “Also got a text from Thalia, we had a chance to talk back at the Beach so were on better ground, but I don’t think anyone has told her the full story about what is going on, which is bad as her Monstrous side has made a name for itself killing Beacon members.” Penny would go on her left eye once again flickering rapidly as she composed and fired off responses to everyone that had contacted her.

“Good news is that I might be able to get some information from inside Beacon. I am a member, technically, and got contacted by one of the others that had gotten dragged away with us. He’s currently at HQ, and should be able to tell me if they can track me” She placed her had on the door knob of the door to nowhere and started focusing “Also Chloe is back” She would add with a soft smile “She’s got a small group of girls with her, and wants to bring them here. She can help.” In her mind Penny could feel the turning of a key in a lock and shortly after she would turn the handle on the door. Turning to look at Cindy Penny finished her update “I’ll be back in a few minutes, with Chloe and the others, afterwards I’m likely going to go hunting after the Monster problem. If you can get that Red Coin we talked about for me by the time I get back it would be appreciated, something tells me I’m going to end up needing it sooner than I expected.”

With her piece said Penny would open the door and walk through it, as at the moment it didn’t lead to nowhere but Chloe’s apartment. Chloe was the only person that Penny hadn’t sent a reply to, because it was faster to just meet up in person.




“Chloe” Penny would call out as she entered the apartment making a direct line to her girlfriend once she saw her sitting on the couch. She would move to give the smaller girl a gentle hug once she was close enough “Everything’s gone to hell a bit hasn’t it?” she would ask her voice trembling slightly as she spoke. The reality that one of her nightmares had come to life was catching up to her in one of the few places she felt truly safe.
