Their mission finishes, Janet hurried after Trixy as the two were exiting the museum. Given recent circumstances their first meeting for this whole thing was a bit tense. They managed to pull through with some amount of coordination even though most of their conflicts were separated. Still, Janet didn’t want things to be done and gone so she tried to catch Trixy before she disappeared.

[color=khaki]”Good work in there.”[/color] She said with a smile and a raised hand for a high five. There was no guarantee she would get any return on it but she would offer the gesture anyway.

Trixy didn’t look any better than she did when Janet last saw her. She still looked perturbed, still had Isabelle’s blood trailing down the front of her face.

[color=CCBFFF]”Yea. We made our client happy.”[/color] Trixy raised her hand and pressed it against Janet’s. Some of Isabelle’s blood had gotten on Trixy’s hand, and now it was on Janet’s. She walked past the girl and allowed her hand to fall away.

Slightly confused, Jenet would ignore the blood on her hand. She'd noticed the attitude earlier but didn't really know what it was directed toward. With the fight over it seemed that it may be something else. [color=khaki]"Something wrong?"[/color] She would ask calmly. 

Trixy stopped in her tracks. [color=CCBFFF]”What’s your opinion on the average magical girl?”[/color] She didn’t turn around.

Mm, had not expected that. An interesting question to be sure. Crossing her arms and looking down the street she wouldn't contemplate it long. [color=khaki]"Not much different than my opinion of regular people. We're mostly a product of our environment. In the case of magical girls we've been given power so our patrons can have us fight off monsters and slap each other around for one reason or another. I would like to believe that were not for the patrons that most would have good intentions. Human nature is generally selfish though."[/color] Looking back to Trixy after a moment she would give a slight shrug. [color=khaki]"Not saying we can't have the public good in mind, just takes looking past one's self at times."[/color]
Seemed she'd considered her stance on this before. 

[color=CCBFFF]”I wouldn’t say people are selfish, just that they wish to be content.”[/color] Trixy turned around to face Janet. [color=CCBFFF]”But you are correct. Patrons complicate things. Regardless of how good or evil someone is, their patron can mold them into whatever he or she desires. It’s made worse by the fact that few of these entities have ever been human, or even understand what being human is all about.”[/color] Trixy placed her hands on her hips. [color=CCBFFF]”I can feel good about slaying a monster, but taking down other girls is something I’ll never enjoy.”[/color]

[color=khaki]"Probably just my previous life talking. I would agree though, I don't like that part either."[/color] Holding her arms closer she shivered just a bit. Killing someone was still something she was capable of. She'd done it before all this magic stuff. But it was more a thing to avoid again than anything. Cindy didn't have the same quelms on the matter clearly. Even if she factored a way out she was more than ready to let Rica die. She was clearly bothered with the time to reflect on it. 

[color=CCBFFF]”But we don’t really have a say in the matter, do we? Our patron tells us to jump, and we jump.”[/color] Trixy placed a hand over her face and sighed. [color=CCBFFF]”I’m fortunate that my lady was a human once, and still is one for the most part.”[/color] When she moved her hand away, she had only managed to get even more blood on her face. [color=CCBFFF]”I’m not even sure if we did those girls a favor letting them live. I have no idea what kind of god Set is. And even so, not every fight is going to end like that one.”[/color] Trixy stared off into the distance before looking at Janet. [color=CCBFFF]”What about you?”[/color]

Tilting her head briefly she didn't seem sure herself. [color=khaki]"That is nice.”[/color] She would admit to Trixy’s observation of Veronica. [color=khaki]”Depends on the patron I'd say. Mine is… well, I'm working on it. Not the simplest thing to do and people keep throwing fuel on the fire."[/color] She offered some of her own thoughts and perhaps aspirations. [color=khaki]"I'm not really sure I can say much about the three girls. That's tough to call."[/color] 

Trixy nodded. [color=CCBFFF]”Yea.”[/color] She scratched the back of her head. [color=CCBFFF]”In all likelihood the next time we meet it will be as enemies. Beacon and Cradle aren’t on the best of terms.”[/color] Trixy turned around to leave. [color=CCBFFF]”You have a lot of determination. I doubt you’ll surrender even if you start losing.”[/color]

Rolling her eyes slightly and shaking her head Janet would mutter something under her breath as she ran her clean hand over her face. She would look at Trixy who seemed ready to leave before speaking again. [color=khaki]"You're not the enemy. I'm fairly certain of that. If I could get people to stop trying to murder one another maybe…"[/color] She trailed off. Easier said than done and a low sigh escaped her lips. [color=khaki]"I just want people to get along."[/color] She looked up at the morning sky. 

[color=CCBFFF]”I know.”[/color] Trixy turned to look at Janet again. But she didn’t turn her entire body. One shoulder was pointed at Janet, the other in the direction Trixy was headed. [color=CCBFFF]”But it’s not what we want. You’re part of the strongest organization in Penrose. There may be infighting, but Penrose Beacon and the Ascendancy are both part of a whole. Even if you don’t like it, your boss still employs both halves.”[/color]

Nodding slowly there didn't seem to be a whole lot else for her to talk about. There was one other thing to discuss but that was more Cindy's business than her own. Her appearance switching over the girl would straighten up. [color=cyan]"As it appears your conversation with Ms. Howell has concluded, might you pass on a message to dear Eliza?"[/color] If it wasn't obvious before during the fight the change was like flipping a switch to someone else.

Trixy used her arm to shield her eyes from the blue light from her sudden transformation. [color=CCBFFF]”A twin soul [i]and[/i] a split personality?”[/color] She squinted her eyes. [color=CCBFFF]”What did you have for her?”[/color]

Ignoring the verbalized observation she simply responded. [color=cyan]"I made promise to protect something of hers. Please inform her that I intend to keep that commitment and it remains secure in my care."[/color] She wouldn't say outright what it was. Everything in Penrose had ears, or might as well anyway.

Trixy nodded and lifted her fingers to the side of her head. [color=CCBFFF]”And who is this message from?”[/color]

[color=cyan]"Cindy Ford."[/color] She would say rather matter of fact.

Hilde would smile at her friend as she greeted her. [color=steelblue]"I'm doing a lot better thanks to all of my friends. Starting to come into my own. And I think I've found a place I belong too."[/color] For now she would leave out the detail that it was at a graveyard. It was actually a pretty big step for her. Probably would make Oros happy to know as well.

The mention of "her folks" though could only mean a few people. Not as up to speed on what Janet and Jenna were doing she would lean closer to Faith and whisper. [color=steelblue]"You mean the twins?"[/color] She hoped whatever it was wasn't a bad thing.

To say he was not prepared for what Shoggy had in store would be accurate. It was strange for sure, but not the weirdest or most uncomfortable situation he'd ever found himself in. The girl was quite clingy and trying to push her back gently didn't work all that well with the viscous mass of her body. Well, he couldn't really ask her to back off either. For a bit he didn't do anything in hopes she would let him go. When it seemed more that he was going to be trapped there he would have to change tact.

Suppose it was a good thing that he was transformed when he arrived. Surrounded by a field of electricity for a moment the shock would jolt the monster girl off. It probably stung a bit, but he didn't have that many other options. [color=lightblue]"Sorry about that."[/color] He took a second to pull himself together. He would chuckle just a bit though. [color=lightblue]"I was not expecting that. Definitely one of the most unique kissing experiences I've ever had."[/color] He wasn't entirely sure if it was good or bad. He had definitely been on the receiving end of that surprise.
