It didn’t take Penny long to learn that the apartment was empty, that fact wasn’t too surprising, though the mechanical girl was a bit curious as to where Isana was currently. Choosing not to dwell on that question, Penny sent about getting a kettle boiling. She had never been much of a tea drinker before her change, but it was something she had come to enjoy as she could make it strong enough to taste normal regardless of her form.  

It wasn’t long after setting the kettle on the stove that Penny got a call, granted it wasn’t coming in from Penny’s coms device but that alone told the cyborg exactly who it was that was trying to get in contact with her, moving over to the couch Penny patched the call though to her eyepiece. [color=9e0039][u][b]“I hear you”[/b][/u][/color] Penny replied to the vague introduction wondering if Veronica always went about things in this cloak and dagger way.

Silently Penny was glad she was already sitting down, thinking about Thalia still hurt, especially when she was blindsided by thoughts concerning the runaway foxgirl. Gritting her Teeth Penny forced herself to breathe as she tried to keep too much red from bleeding in to her eyes [color=9e0039][u][b]“I’m going to be delayed in getting there”[/b][/u][/color] She said after a moment, the anger in her tone soft but noticeable [color=9e0039][u][b]“I’m currently at a friend’s place, and afterwards I’m going to need to check in with Alicia”[/b][/u][/color] Penny wanted to race off to Veronica right away, but beyond that everything jumbled together. She needed time to try and prepare for whatever it was Veronica was going to tell her.

[color=9e0039][u][b]“I can be there in two hours; I assume that you’ll find me when I show up”[/b][/u][/color] Penny added after a moment of thought, the line going dead was the only response that Penny received. She stayed seated there for a bit just starting at the ceiling as various thought swirled about her mind. Closing her eyes Penny pulled at her magic dragging everything inside and pushing it as deep as she could. 

A few moments later there was a dull flash of light encompassed her and when it passed Penny was left in her sealed state. Her white hair had grown a few inches and had taken on a neon blue color that slowly faded to a neon yellow as it neared the tips. Her eyes were a bright gold and she was dressed in simple casual street wear, a light jacket, a tight fitting shirt and loose fit jeans along with a pair of sneakers to finish the ensemble. She found it ironic that ever since joining up with Beacon she had found herself staying in her monstrous state more often then she preferred, but figured that it was due to paranoia towards most of the organizations members. 

With a shrug Penny took of her jacket and tossed it on to one of the chairs before leaning back in to the couch. She was fully prepared to stay seated as she worked through the jumble of emotions that Thalia was capable of evoking in her when she heard the Kettle start to whistle. With a sigh Penny pushed herself up and went about fixing herself a cup of Earl Gray.

Penny had just set her mug down to let it steep when she heard the front door open up and the tail end of a conversation. Turning to look she was greeted with the sight her friend Chloe running towards her moments before the other girl tackled her with a hug, one that Penny was happy to return. 

[color=9e0039]“Should never have told you it was named that”[/color] Penny snorted but smiled all the same [color=9e0039]“But I’m having one of my better days at the moment, been kind of a rough month.”[/color] Penny would answer with a half-smile [color=9e0039]“how about you how have you been?”[/color] she would ask before noticing the rather nondescript girl that Chloe had brought in with her. 

[color=9e0039]“Who’s the new friend?”[/color]

[color=57441E]”Nice to meet you Kimble”[/color] Kyle would reply with an easy smile as he watched bemused as Sally proceeded to pet the catgirl, it was working in calming the feline down so he figured that it was a common enough situation for the people here. Kimble’s answer to the question about her story just brought up more questions than it did answers really, but it told him something about Alicia if nothing else. He pondered for a moment about why it was the Beckoners were okay with this, before shrugging the thought away.

 [color=57441E]“I’m also curious about the robot, is her story similar to yours? And is it just the two of you?”[/color] He would ask as he dropped to sit across form Kimble [color=57441E]“I just arrived here, so sorry if you’ve gone over this a thousand times already, it’s not something I’ve encountered before.”[/color] He explains with a shrug [color=57441E]“And how about you two?”[/color] He would continue looking between Summer and Sally as he did [color=57441E]“How did you gals come to be working with Beacon? I’d be willing to bet my story is the most ridiculous of the bunch.”[/color] He would add with a chuckle at the prospect of being able to explain his origin story once again.
