Though having to come up with them on the spot did keep them a bit more interesting than it otherwise would be. She bowed her head as the crowd applauded her, mentally leaving herself a reminder to talk to Dina about getting them all a trip to the Beach when they both had a moment. She also took a moment to memorize the people who seemed the most reluctant about losing access the White Coins. Penny would make a point to talk to them all later, in private if possible. Still she was looking forward to a bit of, not relaxation, as with the assault going on she wasn’t going to be able to relax, but some quiet. As her luck would have it however just as she had gotten situated Snoopy would Ping her about the disruption. [color=9e0039][u][b]“It’s a good thing I cleared my schedules for today I suppose.”[/b][/u][/color] She would grumble to herself as she headed out to see what was going on. Quietly she would listen as everything was explained to her, and overall the entire situation she found herself with wasn’t one that she was particularly happy with, especially since Amaryllis had vanished. “A few questions” She would reply to Goblina before she strode towards Belladonna. Penny would nod her appreciation towards Ashlyn and the other guards who stopped the crowd from throwing more things. It meant that Penny didn’t have to do something more drastic. Penny would stop just outside arm’s length from the Wolf girl, meeting her crazed look with one of cold detachment. [color=9e0039][u][b]“Is it you need fresh meet, or is it you need human meat?”[/b][/u][/color] Penny would ask after a moment, her tone was one of neutral curiosity, not judgment. She simply wanted to know. [color=9e0039][u][b]“And did you attack them purely because you were hungry?”[/b][/u][/color] Her voice wasn’t loud; she had no need to project her voice as she normally did when she was giving a speech after all, but she wasn’t bothering to hide what it was she said either, it was just at the moment the only person who Penny cared about hearing her was Belladonna.

The raging blizzard, the howling tornado, and the general chaos of combat. A situation that Aurelio was not all that familiar with if he was being honest, he had assisted Strike teams on occasion or assisted with the more skirmishing type conflicts that would pop up in the Cities, but this all out conflict wasn’t something he knew how to properly commit to. Still, with so many people marked with his Magician’s mark it wasn’t hard for him to tell where his allies were. Loath as he was to label some of them as such. Really every time he thought he could despise Justine more she proved him wrong. Her blindly sacrificing kidnapped girls to clear the way disgusted him to his core. Regardless, he was a support specialist, and if there was anything he could do it was provide support. A task made all the more simple because of all the chaos and snow being thrown about, as he was already wearing white. Add in a touch or two of Illusion and finding him easily became an impossible task. Because the real him was translucent, easily over looked with his colors and all the chaos. Meanwhile an Illusory copy of him stayed with the group every now and then tossing out small magical blasts from his cane that wouldn’t do anything but could serve as a distraction. It was this copy that Victoria attacked. [color=fff79a]“Pretty sure I remember that”[/color] His illusion would reply as it ducked and weaved away from the attacks be thrown at it. [color=fff79a]“Sad to hear we couldn’t have meet again under better circumstances.” [/color] It would go on to say conversationally not bothering to lash out in retaliation. Meanwhile the Real Aurelio was busy. His mana supply wasn’t endless and he needed to keep enough for later, so he was very careful about what magic he did spend and on whom he spent it. His Priorities were rather straight forward. Starting with Beacon, then the ‘Canaries’, then came Sakura, afterwards were the mysterious ‘Business partners’, and lastly Justine. No, he wasn’t holding this entire mess against the Vampire, just everything out here. Regardless the air was suffused with Determination, so that was the basis of how he helped. Using that Emotion he would conjure small momentary barriers, to deflect what attacks he could see and who’s target didn’t. But he knew that it wouldn’t be enough alone. So every now and then Aurelio would conjure up a Clone, one with just enough mana and emotion to heal up those that got hit badly, or drive off an attacker for a moment. If he hadn’t slipped in his Mark during the Teleport over, this would be a impossible task, yet even now it was still a difficult one. Lastly he kept as close an eye on the Canaries as he could, any of them who ended up to wounded for him to easily heal he pulled out of the fight. A clone was sent to keep them down, Apathy was good at that, before teleporting them back to Beacon HQ. The first time the Clone would go with to Explain what was going on, but after that he couldn’t justify the mana expenditure. All in all, the fighting had just begun and already he wanted to go home. Then the Remorhaz’s popped up. [color=fff79a]“That is not fair”[/color] He grumbled, before taking a deeper breath and conjured two copies. One dyed red, one dyed an oily green. Disgust went towards Hyun Long, Rage lept towards Kimble and the real Aurelio stayed hidden under his illusions, but focused his attention, and his shields, towards the Canaries. Rage would announce their presence with a crimson crescent of energy aimed at the creature’s head as they landed near Kimble. Disgust would fling out a dark green net that seemed to ooze slightly seeking to ensnare the next Remorhaz as they strolled up behind Hyun. And the true Aurelio would conjure up several bright green barricades in between the Canaries and the third Remorhaz. Hoping the enthralled girls would be able to kill it easier if he focused on keeping them alive.
