It was proving to be a simple and relaxing day, which is of course why that illusion fell part with a single text. [color=fff79a]“Whelp there goes my win streak”[/color] he would mutter to himself as he read over the text from Alicia. [color=fff79a]“Sorry ladies, duty calls”[/color] he would say as he excused himself from the table. As he walked he once again mused over the mission they were going on. It seemed rather simple at first glance. Infiltrate a horror girls HQ and taken them out. The fact that this particular girl had helped bomb beacon before was reason enough for most people to see it as just cause. Which, fair enough, he could see that, but the fact that they were being helped out with this endeavor by a Dark magic girl that had also tried to take them out before? That was worrying, and about eighty percent the reason he attached himself to the mission. After all he was perhaps one of the best suited members to be on hand incase Justine tried to double cross them, assuming that the records of the girls Bane were correct, plus his deeper connection to the teleportation grid mean that they also had a ready-made escape route if needed. Now he just needed to convince himself that this whole thing wasn’t a bad idea and he would be set. It wasn’t that he thought the attack was a poor idea. There were people to save by doing it, both Beacon and no. neither did he think that that Mariette hadn’t done anything to deserve it, the whole kidnapping and bombing disabused that notion. No, it was more the fact that whole thing kind of went against his Vow. Or at least it felt like it did to him. He knew he didn’t have to keep his Vow up in the face of the darker aspects of the magical community but he liked to do so anyway. With a shake of his head he pushed those thoughts off to the side, he could go over them again later if he needed to, but for now it was time to meet up with Alicia, and get started and the stage prep. This was going to be a difficult mission even if everyone stayed on the straight and narrow.
