When the Spark had stopped warning Penny she knew that she had made a mistake, but by then it was too late to back out. Her body was no longer in her control, and try as she might she was locked into fulfilling her original intention. For the Machine within her had taken over and would not be denied.

If she could have screamed she would have, she would have screamed her throat raw at the fizzing static that bleeds under her outer casing. Screamed until she ran out of air td the feeling of her soul twisting in inhuman ways, she would have screamed long into the night at the realization that she was becoming corrupted once more. For unlike many others, this was her first experience with the sensation.

 Her first hours of being remade had been lost to her; her first transformation from human to monster gone. So it would be this instant that would forever sear into her memory of what it was to become corrupted. Of what it meant to lose part of one’s self to the darkness.

Once she was done and had control over herself once more she simply sat there for a moment in silent horror at what she had just experienced.  One thought seemed to echo over and over within her mind [color=9e0039][i]‘What have I done?’[/i][/color] the chill that seemed to seep from that thought was for more than just the fact that she had quite literally cannibalized someone like herself.  She found herself reevaluating everything she had done in her magical life, and with each remembrance the chill intensified and she wondered yet again [color=9e0039][i]‘What have I done?’[/i][/color] 

Penny could have very easily been lost to her own memories and the growing sense of dread that pooled within her. For even as much as the new corruption had frightened her a portion of her felt contented at once again being whole.  Even Valerie would have been ignored in light of this forceful self-reexamination. But when the text flashed up in her HUD Penny grabbed onto it like a life line.

She didn’t push away her uncover truths, she didn’t try to bury them, she just chose to ignore them. For she couldn’t handle them on her own, and she had a feeling that trying to deny them would have a much worse outcome.

[color=9e0039][u][b]“Joy”[/b][/u][/color] She would say standing grimacing at the leftover taste in her mouth [color=9e0039][u][b]“I was more asking cause a friend wanted to meet up, but seems like there isn’t a whole lot going on at the moment.”[/b][/u][/color] Penny would explain as she seemed to be in thought.

She would look off to the side suddenly before she let out a sigh [color=9e0039][u][b]“Spoke too soon”[/b][/u][/color] she would mutter before sending off a quick reply
[quote=Penny]Eden. You caught me at a good time. I’m free right now. Where would you like to meet up?[/quote]

[color=9e0039][u][b]“Never get to rest it seems”[/b][/u][/color] Penny would grumble to herself [color=9e0039][u][b]“Got someone calling in a favor, your welcome to tag along if you want… I think”[/b][/u][/color] she would say as she quickly wrote up and sent off another text.

 [quote=Penny]Hey C̸̀͞h͜lo̶̴e̸҉͟, it’s going to be a bit longer before I can come home. The PI is calling in the favor I own them. 
Also learned that I was right in my worry, Beacon can track me by my̢ ̷͢Ś̵͢p͘͟a҉r̶͟͜k̛͘͠. If I had stuck around any longer back at the warehouse would have like brought them all down on top of us.
I’ll let you know where I’m going to be when I find out in case you want to swing by.

Though out all of this Penny would seem relaxed, if a bit annoyed, but inside she was shaking. She felt Ill, and uncertain of herself, those few moment’s looking in the mirror had shown an image that Penny wasn’t sure how she felt about partially because she was now aware that she didn’t really feel as much as she thought she had been.
