[color=9b83de]‘Say, have you seen two twins, one with-’[/color] Ronin once again attempted to ask a random magical girl she’d ran into about the Djinn Sisters.

[color=orange]‘Oh, those two? Good luck. They’re REALLY hard to find nowadays,’[/color] the girl replied, shrugging and jumping off somewhere.

[color=9b83de]‘So I’ve been told,’[/color] Ronin sighed out for not the first time tonight. Still, she’d started looking for the two of them ever since the event at the park. With that, she continued her patrol of Penrose, running casually through the streets and back-streets, just hoping to find any sort of clue or hint as to the location of her used-to-be friends.

The Djinn Sisters had been laying low for a while. Of course they would pop up every now and then to grant some normy a wish, as was their charge. Perhaps word got out that someone was looking for them or they simply happened across her. Either way the two would be spotted by Deni milling about in their normal forms. When approached, Sakura would smile and wave. [color=deeppink]”Hey, long time no see!”[/color] She would say without hesitation.

Ronin breathed out happily as she finally found the two of them on a street somewhere… and Sakura immediately recognized her! Despite not being slime! That’s, uh, dangerous! [color=9b83de]‘I finally found you!’[/color] she said, and then, as quickly as possible, [color=9b83de]‘But before you say [i]anything[/i] else, let’s go somewhere else! Do you have a place you’re staying at, or so?’[/color] she asked, looking a bit tense, unable to do more than pray they don’t say her name.

Blinking a couple times Sakura would giggle just a bit. [color=deeppink]”Of course we do silly.”[/color] She would put a hand on the little girl’s shoulder. There was a rush of magic and the three of them would be in a [url=https://i.imgur.com/TLCMJsD.png]room filled with seating, pillows and all the furnishings you would expect from a couple djinn[/url]. The two would be in their [url=https://i.imgur.com/MCCZshy.png]transformed state[/url] now. [color=deeppink]”Tada! This was a great wish by the way.”[/color]

[color=violet]”Did get a little old when we were trapped in here though. Missed almost the whole beach event.”[/color] She pouted a bit. The sentiment didn’t last long though before she gave Deni a little hug. 

[color=deeppink]”We heard you were dead. Guess they just don’t kill people like they used to.”[/color] She would plop down on a big pillow.

Ronin looked a bit confused as Sakura put a hand on her shoulder, and then… [color=9b83de]‘Oooooh, so you have a home! Figures you’re hard to find, then!’[/color] Ronin giggled a bit more. [color=9b83de]‘Someone wished you an Interdimensional Home? Cool of them,’[/color] she then said with a grin, listening to them… and got hugged by Violet, Ronin… Deni smiled, hugging the girl back.

[color=9b83de]‘Well. I was consumed by Caroline von Visceral, so to anyone watching there probably wasn’t much of a difference~’[/color] Deni laughed a bit. [color=9b83de]‘But while I was consumed, Asengav severed his ties to me. My guess is he didn’t want Father, Justine and Caroline’s patron, to have a direct link to him through me. But, when Caroline was defeated, I was left behind! But, I was sort of in a coma, or something, I kept having dreams. Then something, I dunno what, gave me power out of nowhere, and I came back as a samurai-girl, no slime involved!’[/color] Deni explained. [color=9b83de]‘But I can still shape-shift, like your wish made me capable of!’[/color]

[color=violet]”We noticed. That’s how we knew it was you. We tend to leave a mark.”[/color] The girl smiled. [color=steelblue]”We’ve been meaning to meet with your sister and Mariette but with everything going on it’s really risky.”[/color] She frowned, more perturbed than disappointed.

[color=9b83de]‘Right. Do you happen to know what they're up to?’[/color] Deni asked, her smile turning a little bittersweet. [color=9b83de]‘See, by being freed from Asengav, I happen to know they're mind-bent to follow him. I want to rescue them from him, which is a little hard as if they find out I'm around Mariette will be forced to kidnap me back. A horror can't have loose ends like me running about, can they?’[/color] she asked with a little grin.

Violet would put a hand up to her mouth and pace for a moment while her sister took over. [color=deeppink]”We don’t really know what they’re doing right now. We know that some of their associates have been trying to locate us. Well, they have once or twice, but they can’t catch us. Past that though I think Mariette showed up briefly at some big battle or another. Yeah, things haven’t really been good for a visit.”[/color] She would admit. There wasn’t much else they could provide as far as what their friends were doing.

[color=9b83de]‘I see. Alright. Well. I’m gonna save them. Unfortunately, I know for a fact that Justine von Visceral is going to attack her, and, uh, she’s going to take me with her. For some reason. I’m going to take that opportunity to attempt saving them, both from Justine and from Asengav. Possibly in that order. It’s DEFINITELY going to be an uphill battle, I wanted to see the two of you before it happened,’[/color] Deni said, still smiling at them.

Clicking her tongue a few times, Violet would come back around from her wandering. [color=violet]”You’ll need a way to break that mind bending. What’s your plan for that?”[/color] She would lean a little closer to Deni. [color=violet]”Do you have a plan for that?”[/color] 

[color=9b83de]‘Sooo, I got a bit of an alliance with Veronica, who also doesn’t like Justine. She says that she, or one of her agents, has the necessary powers to remove mind-bending. Still, it’s going to need the person in question to be restrained while we make a ritual, which isn’t that easy, because it requires us to basically kidnap Mariette and Eli to do it…’[/color] Deni said, chuckling a bit. [color=9b83de]‘But it’s a shot, that’s potentially doable, just [i]reeeaaally[/i] hard.’[/color]

[color=violet]”And this is to help them, yes?”[/color] They had a somewhat tenuous, almost coerced relationship with Mariette really. It was solid enough that they couldn’t do anything directly to interfere with Asengav’s plans. However, that didn’t mean they couldn’t do something to push in a direction right? [color=violet]”You could always bring them here first to be somewhere safe. Our home is special and no one can get in or out of here if we don’t want them to.”[/color] She grinned.

[color=9b83de]‘That is an EXCELLENT idea!’[/color] Deni said with a grin right back. [color=9b83de]‘Yeah, it's to help them. Asengav's plot will eventually make them enemies of Penrose, and then they will either die or, even worse, win. I need to save them before that. I'm not going to involve you, because all we've done to keep you safe from my previous patron, but having a safe place, [i]with friends[/i], where I can place them means a lot to me. Veronica has helped me a lot, but I still can't be 100% sure she won't do a 180 when we've captured Eli and Mariette, hah.’[/color] So she summed up.

Sakura would shrug. [color=deeppink]"We've never dealt with her before. Admittedly we aren't all that well versed in how to get rid of horror mind stuff. But we do know some people that have a good grasp of it. Not sure if they'd want to help or not though."[/color]

[color=9b83de]‘Oooh? Who’d these people be?’[/color] Deni asked, tilting her head and listening attentively.

[color=violet]”A couple other twins. They wished to be able to purify other magical girls. They’re Beacon though, so we’re not really sure where they stand. Working with them can be risky.”[/color] She confirmed. Beacon has sought them out before trying to get hold of their wishing power. So they were a little wary of the group.

[color=9b83de]‘Eeeeeeeeeeeh… Probably… wanna keep Mariette away from Beacon, hah,’[/color] Deni told, expression twitching a bit. [color=9b83de]‘I did a [i]loooot[/i] of scouting with Mariette around the world at one time,’[/color] when they were kidnapping girls from across the world, [color=9b83de]‘and Beacon’s… not very understanding of monsters and horror-girls, generally. I know people are saying [i]our[/i] Beacon is different, but eeeeeeeeeeeh… If I have no other choice, maybe,’[/color] Deni told with a grin.

Sakura bobbed her head in recognition. [color=deeppink]"Yeah, just let us know and maybe we can work something out. That'll be plan B though."[/color] 

[color=9b83de]‘Yupp!’[/color] Deni said, smiling. [color=9b83de]‘Yeah, I already really had a lot of a plan, I just… really wanted to find you two and tell you. And also tell you two that I’m alive. Because I didn’t want you to grieve me for longer, if you were. Because I’d hope to continue being your friend now, and forever more. I’d like a future where me, Eli and Mariette are free from patrons making us do things and just could hang out with friends as we wished, maybe save the world, perhaps travel and live happily ever after with our friends. That would be my wish right now, heh,’[/color] Deni said, the use of words just used for irony, as it’s not a wish they could grant, heh.

The two girls would smile. Violet spoke. [color=violet]”Well, we can try and help as long as we’re around.”[/color]

[color=9b83de]‘Alright! … Are you going somewhere?’[/color] Deni asked, because that last part sure sounded like they were going to travel.

Scratching her head a bit Sakura would respond. [color=deeppink]”It’s always a possibility with us. We go wherever Cafar sends us. But with this home we can make it where you, Eli, and Mariette can come in. It can be a safehouse for a little while. Try not to abuse it. After the beach thing he’s been more picky about how we use wishes.”[/color] She would lower her voice. Not that it mattered being mind linked with her patron.

[color=9b83de]‘… Oh, that was you?’[/color] Deni asked/concluded with a light laugh at the end. [color=9b83de]‘Yeah, probably a good idea. Who knows what silly people might wish for, after all. Alright, that makes sense. If you could make it so, I’d be really happy. I wonder, could one go from one Interdimensional Home directly into another? Since Justine will be attacking Mariette’s, that is,’[/color] Deni wondered curiously. [color=9b83de]‘But rest assured, I won’t use it unless I’m bringing Eli and or Mariette. You got my word on that,’[/color] Deni said with a nod. [color=9b83de]‘… Unless, uh. I find myself in a strange situation where doing so would save the life of someone else, maybe? Er. Could I?’[/color] Deni wondered.

[color=deeppink]”Maybe? It’s still a Dimensional Home. Pretty sure only five people we allow can come in. So if you figure out who could help you with Eli and Mariette then let us know so we can allow them in too. Not sure if there’s a time limit though if we’re not here. Never tested that.”[/color] She was just throwing out thoughts at this point. Mostly speculation.

[color=9b83de]‘Haha, alright. Let’s settle for Eli and Mariette for now, and testing if one can go from dimensional home to dimensional home when it’s make or break and I’m literally staking my life on it because I probably have Justine right behind me,’[/color] Deni said with a grin. [color=9b83de]‘Okay, so how do I make myself enter on my own, when I have them?’[/color] she then asked, because that will probably be relevant.

[color=violet]”Focus on coming here for ten seconds and you should be whisked away!”[/color] She would make a playful gesture as if picking someone up and flying away with them. 

[color=9b83de]‘Got it, thank you!’[/color] Deni said with a smirk, before looking them over… then she’s just gonna go in, grab and pull one of them a bit so she can hug both Violet and Sakura at the same time, looking really happy. [color=9b83de]‘I’m so happy we’re friends. I’ll come find you afterwards, too, alright?’[/color]

The girls would return the hug. [color=violet]”We’re glad too. And we would love that.”[/color] The two didn’t really have that many people they could call friends. Even if it started out as something rather forced right now it felt more real than most before it. Deni needed to get going though so they would part ways. Lots of little pieces to figure out. The twins themselves though would need to keep what they did to a minimum. They did have an agreement to maintain after all.
