Hm. Rina frowned lightly, considering her options. She didn't particularly like being in the middle of things like this, but she couldn't just leave them alone either. Ah, why did the ascendancy have to come in and start flexing their muscle. Before she could think more though, a soft voice from Mika caught her attention. Rina glanced back to her cat friend. The answer was obvious. [color=chocolate]"Hah, friends. With beacon. I work with them occasionally because I don't have a patron."[/color] She replied with a light sigh of irritation. [color=chocolate]"I don't like them as much as I don't like the Mint."[/color] She leaned back, a serious expression crossing her features. [color=chocolate]"And I'm not going to let them do anything to either of you, got that? I may not have made one of those fancy vow's Beacon makes its members take."[/color] Rina said reaching back and patting Mika on the head. [color=chocolate]"But I refuse to let anyone hurt innocent people anywhere, be they beacon, mint, or someone else."[/color] Even if the Ascendancy or someone else marked her as a villain in the process. [color=chocolate]"So don't worry, got it?"[/color] [center][img]https://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjU0LmZjNDVkMS5WbWt0UTJoaGJnLCwuMA,,/new-rocker.regular.png[/img][/center] [@Vocab] [hr] Oh? The Penrose Independent. Now that was a curious bit of information. More importantly, whoever this Mary was, her programming skills were excellent. Not as good as hers of course though, right? She could easily crack this entire thing and bring it down. She had half a mind to do so anyways just to prove a point, but that'd get a lot of people angry at her and she didn't fancy getting on the PI or her new bosses' bad side. [quote] [color=f49ac2][b]V:Ahaha, wow that's funny. Like so funny I don't even know how to react. [b]V:[/b]You and everyone in Penrose' dirty little underworld wants to meet me. [b]V:[/b]So what makes your little nobody organization better?[/b][/color] [/quote] This wasn't a proposal she should accept. What stake did they have in it? Her boss preparing something? Vi bit her thumb, an old habit of nervousness she couldn't get rid of no matter how hard she tried. But then, maybe Chloe would like meeting them? She was always looking to meddle in affairs, and her logic did have some soundness to it. If the PI was preparing something, being allies and being privy to it meant they could more effectively hamper it if they were doing something they didn't like. Picking up her cell, she quickly texted Chloe about being contacted by the PI and waited for a usually swift reply. [quote] [color=f49ac2][b]V:You got it all wrong though, little piggies. [b]V:[/b]I'm not picking a fight with beacon. [b]V:[/b]I'm simply...arranging a fun little party where we can be ourselves. [b]V:[/b]Now if beacon decides to crash that and we have to defend ourselves? Well... [b]V:[/b]Maybe some that were on the fence might start seeing Beacon for what it really is.[/b][/color] [/quote] Was that too much info? Mhm, no, probably not. It wasn't the full story anyways. If anything, only one sentence there was truthful in their intentions. Still no reply from Chloe either. Was she busy doing something? Ahhh, making decisions like this on her own on someone else's behalf was not something she liked doing. It was the opposite of fun times. She really didn't want to piss off Chloe inadvertently. [quote] [color=f49ac2][b]V: But alright, fine. You wanna meet? Place and time of my choosing. V: Alone. No magic or other things.[/b][/color] [/quote]
