She could hear her heart pounding in her ears. She was a mess inside, her thoughts were a chaotic storm and she could tell she was losing it. It wasn’t a stress induced breakdown, and for that she was grateful, she was just [i]sooo[/i] hungry. She ignored Laat’s warning about trying to suppress her need to destroy, and it was coming back to haunt her. She stayed still as Alicia turned on her, Penny didn’t blame her. She had single handedly wrecked the first good thing she had seen going Beacon’s way. That fact weighed painfully within the robotic girl. Her only hope was she would be given a chance to explain, though she wasn’t sure if it would do her any good but Alicia and the rest of the little group of Beacon members could at least use the understanding about why at least. Her thoughts stalled as Elroy howled in rage. [color=9e0039][i]‘Seems my luck is terrible’[/i][/color] she thought sadly. If she had missed then perhaps they could have still talked through this. She ignored the growing behemoth in front of her for just a moment as she looked at Alicia. [color=9e0039][b][u]“I’m Sorry”[/u][/b][/color] Penny called out her regret plain in her voice. Her posture was one of pain; she knew full well what she had caused. But one of her eyes was turning blood red and she couldn’t bring herself to care for much longer. She opened her mouth to say more but whatever she said was lost as the outer walls of the garage were crushed. Refocusing on the monster she had awoken, the training and instinct within her pushed all of her pain, terror, and regret to the background. They had no place on the battle ground. She dropped in to an offensive stance and tossed her flimsy knife to the side. There was an electric snap hiss as a blade of energy ignited from Penny arm reaching a good two feet past her clenched fist. Finally she surrendered herself to the urges that had caused this ordeal. She was built to be unrelenting force; she wasn’t going to run away from Elroy, she was going to go out the way she made, through him if needed. With a wordless cry she launched herself at the Monster in front of her, intent on knocking him backwards or running him through if that failed. Her goal wasn’t his death; it was to destroy as much as she could, using him as her wreaking ball but that didn't mean she was going to hold back. She was hungry and it was time to feast, everything else was just static.

[color=slateblue]“And I would guess she thinks the world is all sugar and spice, and you just need a friend”[/color] She replied with a sigh [color=slateblue]“So most likely she thinks you’re depressed”[/color] [color=slateblue] “Have to say. It is always interesting to hear people toss that word around carelessly though.”[/color] She mused as she picked up the menu and started to browse what was available here at the Pit Stop [color=slateblue]“And while Sakura obviously has something in mind, don’t worry about getting roped in to it, especially if my sister is the one granting it”[/color] She added with a knowing grin. Everyone thought that Violet would be the worst one to grant a wish with her icy demeanor, but in fact she couldn’t twist her magic in malicious way all that much. Sakura on the other had had a hidden sadistic streak when it came to granting wishes and the skill to back it up. [color=slateblue]“Have you ever had a milkshake?”[/color] Violent asked having nothing further to add on the prior topic and had decided to move on to the much more enjoyable prospect of spending other people’s money [@PlatinumSkink]
