"Alright," Alicia replied with a shrug, mostly to herself, as Sylvia informed her that they had work to do. Rising to her feet, she collected her stuff on the table that she needed before heading after the other girl. If anyone else followed with they could, but she wasn't going to force them to do so. There were enough members around today that they probably wouldn't be needed for whatever this job was. 

Arriving in the larger meeting hall, she remained near the front as a crowd gathered to hear what Sylvia had to say. Hearing the situation, she had to admit that she was a tad amused, though she did manage to keep from saying anything out loud that might draw an unwanted reaction. After all, did anyone seriously think that this wouldn't end in a fight? In this town? That was practically wishing for the impossible. 

Still, as a Seraph she supposed it was her obligation to go out there and make sure nothing too important blew up. She'd helped with Justine before, and what was a would be city conqueror compared to that? 

Before she could volunteer, the buzzing of her phone distracted her. The number on the other end wasn't one that she immediately recognized, but at least it was a text rather than a call. There didn't seem to be any harm in checking, and she tuned out Sylvia for a moment in order to do so.

[quote=Katarina]Alicia. I got this number from Penny, a monster girl currently working with Beacon. She said you are the person to talk too about this. I am interested in meeting you to discuss a partnership of sorts. Just a magical girl without a patron in need of a bit of assistance hunting down a lead on an attack that happened involving some spirits. Will come to whatever meeting area you designate.[/quote]

For a moment Alicia had to wonder what Penny was doing, handing out her phone number to random strangers without her permission. But after a bit of minor annoyance she returned to focus on what the message actually said. The fact that there was no name included was worrisome, though she wasn't opposed to the idea of a meeting regarding a partnership. And if she had really gotten it from Penny then it was probably legitimate. She wasn't sure if they had the kind of information this mystery person was looking for, but friends were scarce enough that she wasn't immediately opposed. 

Slipping her phone back into her pocket, she met Sylvia's gaze now that there was nothing to draw her attention elsewhere. "Sorry, but it looks like something's come up for me. Besides, I don't want to hog all the fun for the rest of you." That said, there was another reason to her decision. She still had her doubts about whomever it was that had sent this message, and if it was some kind of ruse or trap, she would rather walk into it herself instead of letting the culprit roam free, potentially putting more unsuspecting Beaconites at risk. Not after what had happened with Justine. 

Her mind made yup, Alicia would excuse herself if allowed while wracking her brain, trying to decide on a good meeting spot. And then maybe she'd have a chat with Penny about her contact information. But she had plenty of time for that, right?
