[h3][color=khaki]Janet Howell[/color][/h3] Well things certainly didn't seem to be improving exactly. At least there wasn't an outright war going on. Still it seemed that some of the magical girls were not going to accept the Beacon girls no matter what. From what everyone had said at that point Beacon and the others did not get along well. Supposedly there were some other factions that Beacon could work with without issue but if they were here they were staying silent. It was pretty easy to see that only a few were willing to cooperate, herself being the lone wolf on the Beacon side. She wondered to herself whether the faction she'd agreed to join was the right one for her. Hard to say seemingly being the newest magical girl in the entire gathering. She was probably making things difficult for her companions, making them look bad while she was playing devils advocate. No this would probably not end well. Finally some sort of progress was made with at least one Horror. He could probably tell that Janet was conflicted, being an empath and all. However it was at least not hate or disgust. Perhaps this Beacon girl was not so firmly planted in her factions ways. Definitely not the usual emotional taste that was expected. After a monolog of so many words Furor stepped forward and raised his claw, however others would have reacted Janet didn't immediately make a move. Finally, someone was making an attempt to work past, well, the past. Hesitantly, though through no aversion to who or what was offering the gesture, Janet took the claw and shook "hands." [color=khaki]"In an effort to make some kind of progress I accept those terms on behalf of my companions. I take responsibility for any repercussions my patron may impose so as not to negatively affect their standing with Beacon."[/color] Taking her hand back she shrugged lightly. [color=khaki]"I can't say we will be able to work together often if at all. I feel I may already be skirting the rules given to me by publicly agreeing to an alliance of non aggression. I know that sounds bad but it's the best I can offer at this time. It's up to you individually to accept that or not. My hope is that we don't have needless conflict among one another."[/color] [@Shoryu][@Rune_Alchemist][@Rice Porridge][@canaryrose][@Flamelord][@Shoryu]
