Alicia was still thinking as she exited the HQ, trying to pick a good spot for a meeting. In all likelihood any old spot would do, but she wanted to make sure that it was in a place where she could receive reinforcements relatively quickly if there did end up being a fight of some kind. Not that she was expecting it, but these days taking chances like those was something that they couldn't risk.

She was in the middle of writing a text to respond when her glance rose, settling on the dark storm clouds that hadn't been there earlier. Hard to miss, with it being so dark as to practically be night time. Street lamps flickered on, for what good they would do. Yet at the same time it sent a chill through her bones as she remembered what Sylvia had so recently told her. It didn't look like a natural cloud formation, and a quick check of the weather forecast indicated as much based on what there had been in the morning.

"You know, when she said to be prepared because a great darkness was approaching, I didn't think she was being quite so literal," Alicia muttered to herself. At least it gave her a good idea as to what she could do for this meeting. She quickly typed up that message and sent it off, getting that out of the way to focus on the more pressing matter at hand.

[quote=Alicia]Hello. I would be glad to discuss a partnership and potential cooperation between you and the Beacon. If you can see the ominous storm clouds above the city right now, I would be happy to meet with you at their epicenter, where we can get to know each other better and determine if a partnership would be worthwhile at the same time [/quote]

Having sent that off, she wasted little time in transforming into her magical girl form. "Beckoner," she said aloud, glancing over to where her patron would undoubtedly appear. "I'm going to go look into this. If Sylvia wants to send reinforcements, it probably wouldn't be amiss," she told it as she gestured to the clouds, before heading off. Time to once again confront whatever was threatening the city this time. And hopefully, she would actually get to do something meaningful in the 'saving' part of the plan to save the city from doom.
