"Chains of Darkness, break! Light, shine forth!"

With a flare of magical energy Alicia transformed into her magical girl outfit. She was clad in white and black, with a long skirt dropping towards her legs that did not inhibit her movement. She made no move to produce her weapon though, not where they were at the moment. To produce a weapon at a diplomatic meeting, that would not only be rude but also instigatory in a manner that was unnecessary. The purpose here was not to fight, but to talk. 

Penrose Park was fairly nice, illuminated with glowing light in the night. It reflected off the water and heralded the chirping and cricketing of bugs and insects. A nice scene for a meeting, albeit not one that was all too formal. Then again, when had things ever been formal for magical girls?

Alicia stood with the other girls that had come with her, an assembly of individuals from The Beacon who tended to stick together, on the opposite side of the park from those who were fairly obviously either dark magical girls or flat out monsters. The better to avoid associating with them and earning excommunication from the Beacon in the process, though she was not going to stop anyone who snuck off. Instead she stood towards the front of the group, arms crossed over her chest as she listened to Ice Blue once the meeting began. 

"Well them," she muttered to herself. So they were here to arrange an alliance between the girls in the city to combat the growing amount of feral monsters? All of them working together for mutual benefit? It seemed fine as far as she was concerned, but she knew that those who ran the Beacon might have a problem with it. Specifically to the extent with which 'all magical girls' or 'all monsters who stay good' meant. 

Following the rousing call to action that marked the end, she spoke up from her spot with the other Beacon girls in the crowd. "Combating the growing amount of monsters is worthwhile, sure, but I don't think the Beacon is going to be able to accept allying with those who have lost their way to their inner darkness without some incentive to do so." It hardly needed to be pointed out that Beacon had the resources to go it alone if they wanted to do so, even if Alicia wanted to cooperate. But that had to be a give and take, not just Beacon giving up their own viewpoint to cede to the demands of others without condition.

That said, she glanced back to see how many of the other girls agreed with her from her group. Support on this would be much appreciated, though it probably wouldn't be a problem. She was just hoping they could work something out at all.
