Since becoming a magical girl, Silhouette had personally gone through changes that altered her way of life drastically. For starters, well, she was now a "she" rather than a "he", which was perhaps the hardest thing to adjust to. Moving around under her guise as a young woman was rather annoying, too, since she could no longer rely on her prior accomplishments to gain work (something that changed over time, but nevertheless caused issues early on). But we'll just move on from this subject by stating that Sil's least favorite part about being changed to a girl was being dismembered, it made certain aspects of life just feel incomplete. 

On the flip side, she had almost zero problems in regards to her powers. More tools to assist her were welcome, and as far as tools go, well, manipulating time was perfectly suited to someone who dealt in swift, silent killing. It provided her opportunities that she wouldn't have as a normal human being. And so, Sil had trained and trained until her use of Time was almost unrivaled. She created her own way to manipulate Time too. 

But the most important (but not most inconvenient as far as Sil was concerned) aspect of becoming a Magical Girl was that there was also the "loyalty" that she needed to abide by now since she was in debt to people that did not seem very wise to anger. Back before all of these magical shenanigans, back when the world was a much simpler place, she did not need to worry herself with angering people and staying with one particular "contractor". But of course, there were no parties quite like the Ebon Mint in the non-magical world. There did not seem to be a single place that the Mint did not have at least some control of. She would not risk angering such a party unless she could deal with them, so paying off the "debt" she owed them seemed the wisest choice for now. Silhouette had no real desire to stick to any particular side of morality. Good? Bad? No, she was an existence that lived for herself. Living was the most important thing, followed by power and wealth. If playing the part of a good mutt kept her alive, then she'd do it in a heartbeat. 

Of course, if the Ebon Mint ever was in the position to be removed from her life for good, then she'd take it. 

Just like she was aware they'd remove her the moment she lost her usefulness. Thankfully, she was really good at what she did, and it was unlikely that there was an abundance of people quite like her. From her understanding, Magical Girls were originally intended to do "good", or at least remove Monsters, which typically was seen as "Good". There was more to it, obviously, but the important part was that Magical Girls with talents that seemed more suited to removing other Magical Girls were a bit less common. 

She wasn't too confident that she'd fly too close to the sun, but she couldn't imagine them attempting to remove her from the picture unless she did something to warrant it. Her position, at least as of this current moment, was safe as it could really be in her scenario. Especially because she'd be doing them a solid right now.

Silhouette found herself aboard a flying ship, having used her magic to lock various items in place to create steps with which to reach the damned thing. Thankfully, the ship was merely hovering in the sky and not in flight, otherwise, this step would have proven to be quite difficult. She had to make doubly sure not to be spotted as she boarded since the only way she could get back down safely was through these same steps. Very fortunately, there was a mess below her that kept the attention off of her, and getting up to the ship undiscovered had been the first of three tasks she would accomplish effortlessly. 

Part two of her plan and the primary objective given to her was to remove this ship from play, which she intended to do through the destruction of its engines. It likely would not require very much effort to do so, but first she needed to reach them. Silhouette had to find quite a few items to use as steps just to reach the ship from the highest vantage point she could find that also didn't seem like others would take notice, so she wound up on the opposite side of the ship. So, she had to cross from one side to the other. But since there wasn't anybody apparently on the thing at the moment, that probably wouldn't matter much, right? 

Since there did not seem to be a single soul aside from herself aboard the ship right now, it really wasn't too relevant, but the apparent owner of this vessel was a small "pirate girl". She was apparently somebody of interest to either Vermillion Veronica or the Ebon Mint in general, as Silhouette was informed that she should not be killed if encountered. 

Weird as it may seem, an assassin like Silhouette often was given limitations like these. Some clients, perhaps out of a horribly lazy and misguided sense of morality, often designated a singular target in the midst of family to remove. There was more than one occasion where Sil needed to sneak into a house and off perhaps the mother or father (or both) while leaving the child alive (and of course without being seen, too). If she had even cared about the subject, she might have asked why even bother? Some might claim it is more cruel to do this, as at no point in time had Sil managed to leave evidence that they could follow up on. They would live knowing that somebody killed a loved one and there was nothing they could do about it, or ever would. And that feeling would more often than not stick with them for the rest of their lives, perhaps festering into something wicked that another person might have to deal with. 

Man, the world was cruel. But I digress. 

To summarize, Sil was asked to get rid of this ship without killing its owner. This ship wasn't too hard to reach since it was resting in place in the sky, and it currently did not appear as though it was going to prove a difficult task to disable it, considering there was nobody currently aboard. 

[color=red][i]Well, whatever, as long as this counts towards my debt, I couldn't care less if there's no excitement.[/i][/color]

And so, she began towards her current target with a blank, perhaps even bored expression on her face.
