[b]Alicia Hayden[/b] For how much they claimed that they were being fair in their judgments, Alicia had to bite her tongue when it came to every statement directed their way, the condescending attitudes that would just make it that much more difficult for a ceasefire, much less an alliance, to actually work. Sure Beacon might not hold itself to their standards, but they were awfully quick to jump to the' oh woe is me' innocent victim act. She wasn't a fool, and she'd seen those who were actually guilty try to make that claim more than once. And people wondered why Beacon didn't care what other magical girls thought. Even the talk of order and chaos and all that was equally as enervating. Did he think they did not know that, that they merely thought this was some sort of roleplaying game where the hero just had to be good and that was that? They didn't take these vows simply because they felt like it. Perhaps he thought that Chaos should be given a freer hand, but she could firmly say that there were few at Beacon who would agree with such an assessment. The booming voice was distracting, but she wasn't actually sure whether that was approval of an arrangement with them or not, if only because the source seemed to argue two different points in succession. Well, it probably wasn't her problem. They were talking now, and it seemed like things might work out better than she had hoped to expect. Then everything went wrong. Internally she cursed as events happened in quick order, before she could get involved. In moments the girl that had brought them all here was dead, and one of their own Order was dead too with a bomb defused of some kind. Chaos practically erupted, and Alicia knew that Natasha was right. It was exactly the sort of thing she had been afraid about, yet it had come to pass sooner than she had thought. And now everyone was going to hate them, even those who might have been inclined to be supportive, or at least not actively hostile. Instead of coming to some sort of resolution, this had actively made things worse! Quickly she manifested her, bow, not nocking it but making it clear that she would use it on anyone who decided that they wanted to try and get some revenge for the dead that had seeming come at their hands. "We're leaving," she called, mostly to the other Beacon girls than for the benefit of anyone else. "Take the bomb and the body with." She wanted to know what had just happened, and the odds were pretty high that Beacon wouldn't want them left behind as a general fact. With the evidence in tow she slowly backed off from the park, making sure that everyone from Beacon had come with before she allowed herself to relax. Now they just had to hope that things didn't get any worse than they had already. [@t2wave][@Card Captor][@Ariamis][@Shifter_Master][@Shoryu]
