[h2][color=khaki]An Enlightening Encounter[/color][/h2][h3]Shortly after the battle at the Graveyard[/h3][/center]
Part of what made the Djinn Sisters a little harder to pin down was how they selected those that would have a wish granted. Sometimes they just happened across people, or pointed to someone, etc… But on occasion it is when they happen across someone that they find curious. It wasn’t anything amazing that was done, but what Sakura’s Third Eye spotted about another pair of twins walking the streets of Penrose. They didn’t jump at the chance to talk with them right away, but they would meet again soon.

And that is just what would happen not long after their little talk with Mariette. Were the two not used to having things just work in their favor one could call it a conspiracy. In this case their target was returning from a battle. Police had shown up so everyone present ran for the hills to avoid getting caught. The commotion was the perfect cover as many of the other magical boys and girls would be going their separate ways to recover or hide. Unimpeded for the moment the djinn set out to find a wish.

A run in was easy, and literal even. Janet and Jenna were on their way out after the Graveyard incident. The girls would debrief after a well deserved rest. The whole event had them thinking about what to do about their friends, and their enemies really. Not entirely paying attention Jenna crashed into Violet when the wish granter came running around a corner. [color=khaki]”I just don’t know-”[/color] Narrowly avoiding the collision Janet watched as the small girl ran into Jenna. Not having the mass to knock over the larger girl Violet was the one that fell back from the impact. [color=khaki]”Uh hello?”[/color] 

[color=plum]”Are you alright?”[/color] Surprised by the sudden appearance for a moment she recovered and, offering a hand, Jenna got Violet back to her feet. [color=plum]”You should try and be more careful. You never know what might be around the corner.”[/color]

[color=violet]”Right, I’ll try and keep that in mind.”[/color] Glancing back Violet watched as her sister came around the corner. [color=violet]”It’s one of these two right?”[/color] She said brushing herself off.

[color=pink]“Yeah that’s them”[/color] The other girl would confirm [color=pink]“And she’s right you know. You’re always running into things or falling off things. Still..”[/color] Shaking her head she would turn towards Janet and Jenna [color=pink]“Hi, I’m Sakura and that’s my sister Violet.”[/color] She say smiling with her introduction. 

[color=pink]“You caught our eye the other day, and we were wondering if you might be in need of a wish.”[/color]

The interaction so far was odd to say the least. The twins that had just shown up just didn’t even talk like normal people. [color=khaki]”In need of a wish? What?”[/color] Thoroughly lost for a moment she was swatted on the shoulder by Jenna.

[color=plum]”A wish. Twins. Janet, these might be the ones Alicia was talking about.”[/color] Both stare at Violet and Sakura for a moment.

[color=pink]”Well that explains a few things. You must be the one that she chose to use her wish on. No wonder your magic is all screwed up.”[/color] She chose to ignore her sister in this case. Not much reason to dwell on it.

Realizing who they were talking to now Janet perked up, but then was conflicted. A wish was a powerful thing and should be made with care, right? And of course there was always the matter of what to wish for. [color=khaki]”Is this how you do this all the time? Just walk up and ask for a wish?”[/color] Even though she was pretty sure they were who they said at this point it just seemed a little too easy.

Always with the questions. Sighing a bit Violet waved off the concern. [color=violet]”Not all the time. It just depends. You aren’t going to say no are you?”[/color] The girl put her hands on her hips and smirked. 

[color=plum]”No!”[/color] Jenna answered for her twin. Taking a hold of Janet she pulled her closer. [color=plum]”You can wish for another potion for Divina and Penny.”[/color] Thus far it seemed like Jenna ended up with a lot of Janet’s memories, or at the very least recalled them much more easily. Which lent at times toward Janet seeming to be the dumb blonde. On the flip side though the darker haired girl was the more impulsive of the two.

Listening to her sister for a moment she nodded. [color=khaki]”Right. Good idea.”[/color] What recollection Janet lacked she made up for it discretion and planning. Things were usually run through her before any major choices were made. It was weird, but at least when transformed they could communicate telepathically. Together they made something akin to what the original Janet was made of. Back to the matter at hand. [color=khaki]”I think I know what I want. I wish we had two more purifying potions like Alicia used on me.[/color] It worked out well enough for her and it was something that she knew would be helpful to her friends.

Sakura’s smile would dim a little at the proposed wish, not because she didn’t like it, but [color=pink]“Sorry, we’re not going to be able to grant that one”[/color] The pinkette would rub the back of her neck sheepishly [color=pink]“Our magic does have some restrictions, and your wish runs in to one of them. Nothing that we have wished in to being can be wished for again.”[/color] She went on to explain, not too upset about having to explain either as It was one of the more commonly discovered limits to their Wish granting.

[color=plum]]”Really? That sucks.”[/color] Disappointed she pondered for a moment. [color=plum]”Wait, how about, I wish…”[/color] She stopped abruptly when Janet put a finger up against her lips.

So they couldn’t wish for the same thing. That was interesting. In theory they could stumble across things that others had wished for. Testing the waters wasn’t something they wanted to do though. Still there was likely a way to still get something similar. Perhaps it was best that the wish didn’t work. Something like a potion really only has one use each. They could find a way to be able to get more. [color=khaki]”Not sure if this will work but, I wish-”[/color] Making sure that she had her words in order Janet continued. [color=khaki]”that Jenna and I had the ability to fully purify monster girls and boys as I had been.”[/color] Seeing as their Reinforcement magic already lent toward this kind of thing it seemed like it could be a logical extension. Of course assuming it was different enough from the other wish and there weren’t any other complications.

Sakura tilted her head to the side as she thought over the wish that Janet had spoke, turning the words this way and that in her mind. After a moment she would nod “Yeah that one will work” she would say with a smile before taking a step forward to share a look with her sister.

After their transformation Sakura would step towards the other pair of twins her eyes glowing an etheric white [color=pink]“Your wish...”[/color] tailing off she would place a hand on both Janet’s and Jenna’s shoulders just a moment before a flood of Power would flow from her fingertips. 

At first the power would crystalize into items. A mortar and pestle along with a beakers and bunsen burner. All were covered in arcane sigils and made of what looked to be crystal. These items would fade and settle within the magic of Janet and Jenna.

[color=pink]“…Has been…”[/color]

Next the power would bring forth knowledge. The recipe to brew all the infinite variations of the potion that had purified them from their corruption and an unlived lifetime's worth of experience in brewing it.

[color=pink]“...Granted”[/color]

Finally understanding would blossom forth just before the flood of power cut off. The limits and requirements for the potions to work, the vulnerable and fickle nature of the brew. 

With a contented sigh Sakura would stumble backwards, Violet already there to help support her sister. 

Having never seen how this process works Janet and Jenna watched with interest. The magic flowing through them wasn’t as jarring as one might think, at least in contrast to some previous experiences. Moving away from that though a few items spawning into existence was somewhat perplexing. What exactly… Wait were they going to have to brew the potions? That wasn’t exactly what had been hoped for. They didn’t even know where to start. Any concern about not knowing how to do such a thing though was soon alleviate. Having knowledge form from seemingly nothing was a strange sensation. 


Using magic was one thing, but making and manipulating magic was a whole other beast. Being largely ignorant of how magic worked when the knowledge began flooding in it was like taking a tome jamming it into their heads. The wealth of information with all its intricacies and prerequisites was too much to handle all at once and the girls simply froze as their minds attempted to process it all. Thankfully Sakura was gracious enough to also provide practice and wisdom to normalize everything they just learned. Entirely unaware of how much time had passed they both came to and took a moment to reorient themselves. In a brief moment they went from total novices to experts in their field. 

Putting her hands on her head Jenna’s eyes widened. [color=plum]”That actually worked? Holy crap! I had no idea there were so many facets to magic. This is so weird.”[/color] Going over what she now knew it was clear that they would be able to make these potions. And potentially more, but they would actually require putting in the time and research. Beats starting from zero though. 

Before the newly minted scientists could do much Violet started to go. [color=violet]”Well It was nice granting your wish and all but we best get going. Can’t go around granting wishes without drawing some unwanted attention.”[/color] Given that Janet and Jenna were associated with Beacon she wasn’t too worried about letting that little information slip. 

Nodding a bit Janet could see how they could be a target. It was not something that had ever crossed her mind, but that kind of power was definitely desirable. [color=khaki]”You could always come with us to Beacon, we could protect you.”[/color]

Smirking slightly she turned and skipped backward. [color=violet]”Sorry, but we can’t risk getting involved with an organization like Beacon. Nothing against them or anything but it’s too dangerous. There is a balance and we’re not about taking sides.”[/color] Noticing that the other twins glanced at each other she could tell that there was some apprehension about letting them go. [color=violet]”Careful, you don’t want to piss off a djinn. We can give you some nice things but we can also make your life a living hell.”[/color] 

Furrowing her brow she spoke with a serious tone. [color=khaki]”Nothing so drastic. But you have to realize that eventually Beacon and others aren’t going to be able to ignore what you can do.”[/color] The statement was rather matter the fact and something that the Djinn Sisters were well aware of from the past and their last chat with Mariette. 

A sly grin working its way across her face the djinn girl pointed to the other pair of twins before tapping her head. [color=violet]”Speak for yourself.”[/color] Violet said before darting around the corner with her sister and both vanished.

The two minds blipping off their radar, Jenna rushed forward and looked around the corner to find the Djinn Sisters were gone without a trace. [color=plum]”Damn, how'd they do that?”[/color] She glanced back to Janet. 

Shaking her head the blonde pointed to their backpack. [color=khaki]”Doesn't matter. Make a call to HQ and set up a meeting, they're going to want to hear about this.”[/color]
