Penny couldn’t help but feel interested in the whole situation. Granted it still seemed very suspicious to her and she wasn’t planning on eating any of the food, but the chance to relax for a bit was very tempting. Plus the chance to play around and get some Coins for it as well wasn’t something that she would ignore. 

There was a snowball's chance in hell of her joining in Keijo with any actual interest of competing however.

Regardless there was something the mechanical maiden wanted to deal with first. If for no other reason then to avoid getting randomly jumped later, and to accomplish that she needed to track down Mika. Which wasn’t very hard a prospect in truth, as seeing the Beast girl go sprinting off towards the shop gave her quite the simple trail to follow.

[color=9e0039]“Here goes nothing”[/color]  She would mutter to herself as she jogged off towards the shop as well, she doubted that there was anything there that she would need but she would only know once she got there.

Penny was able to see Mika bolt through the doors to the shop. She was only out of view long enough for Penny to grab the door and open it again. At that point she could see the other magical girl barreling towards her. Mika had a lotion bottle in each hand, a few pinched between her arms and torso, and even a few sticking out of the “keyhole” in her swimsuit. [color=tomato]“GAAAAAAH!”[/color] Mika dug her heels into the ground, but still ended up bouncing off Penny. One of the lotions in her swimsuit fell out and bounced on the ground. [color=tomato]“The terrible one’s champion...”[/color] Mika looked Penny up and down before fretting her brow. [color=tomato]“Are you trying to give everyone on the beach a sunburn? Is that why you’re barring my path?”[/color]

Though Penny was caught flat footed, not expecting Mika to have already nabbed everything she wanted it was still instinctive to slip into a stable stance before frantic girl rushed into her.  [color=9e0039]“...No?”[/color] Penny would reply before giving herself a shake, this whole illusionary contact was starting to get really old.

 [color=9e0039]“I was actually wanting to talk with you about that title”[/color] She would explain as she kneeled down to pick up the lotion bottle that had fallen. [color=9e0039]“I recently broke away from him. Glad to have done it in fact, as your Paton’s name for him is appt.”[/color] she would go on offering the lotion back [color=9e0039]“I was more wanting to let you, and any of the other girls that are under Boteg know that I’m not with Laat anymore. Figured it would be best to get that taken care of first so we can all enjoy this place more readily”[/color]

[color=tomato]“Really?”[/color] Mika examined Penny. [color=tomato]“You do look a little different from last time.”[/color] The feline magical girl circled her. [color=tomato]“Who do you serve now?”[/color]

[color=9e0039]“Yup”[/color] Penny would reply letting Mika circle once before she started turning to keep face with the other girl [color=9e0039]“The change is more noticeable in my standard transformation, right now I look more akin to how I do when I’m depowered.”[/color] she would mention glancing down at herself as she did so.

[color=9e0039]“Right now I’m with Beacon, they were the ones who helped me get out from under the jackass but...“[/color] She trailed off for a moment as she did a quick check for any of her Beacon sisters [color=9e0039]“I’m likely going to end up butting heads with a lot of them. I’ve spent more time as a monster girl then a magical one, so I’m more willing to live and let live with that part of the community. Hell one of my closest friends is a DMG”[/color] she explained tossing the lotion bottle back and forth between her hands as she spoke.

[color=tomato]“Hmmm…”[/color] Mika’s tail waved side to side. [color=tomato]“Well, Dan doesn’t want us to hate each other anyway. So even if I don’t fully trust you, I trust Dan.”[/color] She smiled. [color=tomato]“I’ll tell everyone what you told me.”[/color] She hopped forward. Mika timed it as such so that as soon as the bottle of lotion landed in Penny’s hand, her chest would envelope the cyborg’s hand. When Mika backed away, she had the lotion again. [color=tomato]“Good practice for Keijo, right?”[/color] She winked at Penny before turning around. [color=tomato]“I’ll talk to the others. Maybe we can hang out later.”[/color] Mika sprinted away as fast as she could.

[color=9e0039]“That’s all I can ask for”[/color] Penny replied with a relaxed smile, relieved that this little encounter had went as smooth as it had.

Then Mika reclaimed the bottle of lotion and Penny froze. Thankfully Mika didn’t stick around afterwards so she missed the shock bleed into anger as electricity started to spark off the hand that had been enveloped.

She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. This illusion was starting to get really, [i]really[/i] annoying. Finally she moved deeper into the shop to take a look around at the things they had on display, and later, when the fact she was a teenage girl caught back up with her, she had to fight down a blush at the lingering sensation of how it actually felt.

Which wasn’t all that hard, or at least it hadn’t been. Until the stray thought of what it would have been like had it been Chloe, or Alicia, that had done such an action... or perhaps bo- Penny slammed the sunscreen bottle she had been holding back down on the counter as she violently ended that line of thought before her blush became luminescent.

Mechanically she turned and left the shop, heading for the beach. She need to go dunk her head in the water and cool off.
