The coin broker had to wonder if everyone was here to save Penrose. At the very least, more of these people should have been paying attention to [i]her[/i] When Lily’s guard gave a second firm rebuttal for a date, Chloe placed a hand on her chest. [color=violet]"Your words wound me.“[/color] She smirked. [color=violet]"I see why you don’t carry any weapons. With a tongue like that, you hardly need them.“[/color] As fun as it was to be [i]insufferable[/i], there were still more people that wanted to conduct business with Mint. So when Kayli stepped forward, she immediately turned to face her. [color=violet]"To be clear, Magical girls can’t really own property. What we’re more determining is where the lines in the sand should be drawn. But I’d be lying if I said Mint doesn’t have a fair bit of capitol around. Regardless, ownership of any building will always come down to who holds paper over it.“[/color] Then she made her request, which caused Chloe to choke out a laugh. [color=violet]"I’m sorry, that wasn’t quite what I was expecting. I’m not sure how others present will react to you wanting to take on the ‘corruption epidemic’...“[/color] She shot a glance at Alicia before returning to Kayli. [color=violet]"...But I don’t see Mint opposing you on this. Very well, if no one has an issue with it…“[/color] Truth be told, Chloe was pretty sure the Mint would rather have their girls purified by some third party rather than getting instantly “white pilled” into Beacon agents. So long as they kept trying to pay off their debt, who cared if they were dark, monstrous, or pure? Then it was Connie's turn to speak. Her demand was worded simply, yet her words seemed to weigh more than anything else put before Chloe. She was not oblivious to what happened in New York. [color=violet]”Hey.“[/color] Her smile faded away. [color=violet]”That’s what we’re all here for, right? Making the killing stop?“[/color] Chloe turned her back on everyone and looked at the sky. [color=violet]”It’s a complicated problem. I don’t think there’s anything you could put in that contract that could stop the killing from happening. Only because our hatred and violence is everyone’s problem, not just the Mint.“[/color] She turned back to look at Connie. [color=violet]”I’ve done a lot of bad stuff, gotten involved in things that I shouldn’t have. I just want to survive though. I think we all do. I’ll do my best to get the killing to stop on the mint’s end. But to make all the killing stop…“[/color] Chloe looked at Penny and Alicia. [color=violet]”...We’re going to need to cooperate with people we might not like to.“[/color] Meanwhile, Aurora was trying to strike his own deal. [color=goldenrod]"Aww shoot! I knew it was too good to be true!"[/color] He kept his arms spread. [color=goldenrod]"B-but you’re an angle of hope, so maybe-"[/color] But Angle of Hope made the wise choice to shift the conversation along to something that might actually work. [color=goldenrod]"I did hear about the red coins, but they seem kind of mysterious. So if we can get in touch with this key keeping person, then maybe we could get me fixed right up! Give me large, sporting boobies that would make everyone jealous. Maybe even you? Especially you!”"[/color] She thrust her finger towards AoH. [color=goldenrod]"A-and help out those people in the overcity too I guess. Really though, I’d be happy with even small ones so long as-”"[/color] Aurora’s babbling stopped when Rose and Iris appeared out of nowhere. [color=goldenrod]"W-well you should never eves drop on a girl, b-but…”"[/color] He sighed. [color=goldenrod]"I’m not really a girl anymore, and I’d like the keeper of keys to help me out with that.
