Ever since arriving the girl had been gathering information. Not that she didn't care for what was going on to get involved but there was clearly more than the magical girls and boys that had assembled already. There was also that too many things were going on and she had to recover her magic from a previous engagement. 

She had yet to meet up with Lily or really anyone else. They seemed content with coming up with reasons for fighting each other. Other powers were at play as well. The Djinn Sisters were here. Not a pair she'd ever had the pleasure of meeting but their reputation for someone as connected preceded them. Unsurprisingly the Beacon and Mint were around. And others she was not yet familiar with. But the whole thing that brought them together was an evil force creeping in. Judging by the activity though they were getting bolder.

After stopping by the Beacon HQ there in Penrose, Shannon set out to find other magical boys and girls. Unlike the others she wasn't looking for a fight, but more to actually gather info and make connections. Talking and force each only get you so far but there was already enough of the latter. Rather than seek out anyone on their turf, that they might be protective of, she picked out a field just outside of town. Placing herself out in the open she wanted to make it clear she wasn't hiding. Anyone willing to accept the invitation would find her sitting on a rock with some meager food items. Eating wasn't much her thing and she didn't have that much money but she made do with what she had. At least she might have something to offer while they spoke. Of course there was the chance that no one would come but no harm in trying.
