Deni is dead..? This doesn't bode well, as Violet is going to want revenge.

Quiet revelations


Penny let out a tiny squeak of surprise as Thalia picked her up and started bounding away from the wrecked area. Not long after, however, she let out a sigh as the tension started to ebb away, she knew she would have to contact Alicia later, possibly Suwako as well, but she would worry about that later. So she just held on to Thalia as the fox took them through the city, and used the time to continue to imprinting.

It was with the same hazy awareness from earlier that Penny realized that Thalia had brought them home. Absently the mecha mahou noted that she would have to fix her door, but once again put off that plan of action for later, she was nearly finished with the imprinting, and afterwards she could finally finish healing up.

"Thanks Foxy" she murmured softly as she realized she had placed in her nest of blankets, and helped Thalia pull the blanket up, making sure that her spear laden arm wasn't tangling anything as she did. Penny was obviously dazed, but having so little magical control meant imprinting over someone else’s Metal took a lot of processing power, so her actions and words were less filtered than normal. She wasn’t so out of it, however, that she didn’t notice Thalia slowly succumbing to exhaustion. So she reached out and pulled her friend closer, not caring about the fact she was a giant fox at the moment, and started petting the monster softly.

Sometime later Penny found herself blinking back to full awareness.'Seems I dozed off for a moment' she though before a glance at her left arm confirmed her suspicion as to why she might have done such, as the spear was no longer impaled in it. In fact the spear could no longer be seen as it had been incorporated in to Penny’s body.

Originally she had been planning on using the Metal to build herself a tail or tendril, as she had noted the advantage of such an appendage in her fight with Elroy. The spear wasn't sufficient enough materials for her to build what she wanted however, so instead she opted to lay the ground work with what she had acquired instead.

Along her back one could now find six ports running next to her spine, three on each side. Currently they were closed, but if she got enough materials she would be able fashion new limbs to install in them. What type of limbs she would build, she would decide later. Her chassis had also been fortified to better balance the weight distribution when she installed her upgrades, whenever it was she built them.

Speaking of her chassis, Penny lifted up the blanket and inspected her side, and as she expected it was impossible to tell that she had been injured at all. She smirked at that, glad that the Bates hadn't learned about her regeneration. It would be a nasty surprise for them the next time they fought.

That thought, however brought the entirety of the earlier fight back to the forefront of Penny's thoughts, chief among them was the fact that Penny had lost control over her urges. Just like that she felt sick, as every single odd sensation about her body stood out to her like a beacon in the dark. She felt wrong, unnatural, as despair started to consume her mind. Quietly she began to cry as once again she felt like a total stranger in her own skin.

Penny never fully accepted what happened to her, never gave herself time to adjust or to come to terms with what happened when Laat'AlOfan stripped away her old life and destroyed who she used to be. But here in the darkness of her home, with the memories of what happened earlier she finally started to breakdown.

But before she could truly start tearing into herself, for all manner of reasons, both real and imagined something stopped her wayward train of thought.

She had started to curl in to herself, seeking some semblance of comfort as she spiraled in to depression, and as she did she found Thalia instead. The fox girl was asleep and curled up next to her on top of the blankets.

Suddenly Penny's worries, her fears, no longer seemed so important. For all the messed up things that had been tossed her way, Thalia was one she didn't want to give up. The tears kept flowing from Penny however, as she started to recount all the ways she had been a terrible friend. The only solace had been the past week, and even that had been tainted by her actions both just barely and earlier.

Twice now Penny had over looked her friend, once when she had been injured, and again just now she had almost forgotten her friend to wallow in her own grief. Slowly Penny reached out and pulled the smaller girl in to a soft embrace and quietly vowed to herself that it would not happen again.

Slowly the tears and the grief, was drowned out by the memories of the past week, of the various games of tag the two girls had played across the roof tops, of the arcades they had been black listed from due to Penny's internal knowledge of machines, all the times Thalia caused Penny to go bright red because of something the vixen had said or done.

The cyborg couldn't help the smile that started to spread on her face due to the memories; she didn't even notice that her tears had already dried. She hadn't felt so happy, so comfortable, since she had been changed, and she owed it all to Thalia.

Quietly, and unknowingly, Penny's heart was stolen by the sleeping Monster girl.
Echooooo...

Poor perforated Penny performs a poignant pleading proposition.

This late night post brought to you by insomnia, when you absolutely can't sleep, insomnia.

Dealing With A Demon


Events were spinning out of control even faster than when Penny opened fire on Regina and Elroy, not that the mechanical maho could blame anyone since everyone seemed to be under the impression that she needed help.

The quick appearance, and even quicker incineration, of the vines told Penny she would have to act, but the length of metal in her arm hampered what she could do. She waivered for a moment as she struggled with what to do, she could keep the metal to continue her idea or remove it to better deal with her crazed friend and seeing as Thalia was more than willing to attack anything that moved Penny needed to choose fast.

Before she could come to a conclusion Thalia moved to shield her from any attacks that could be incoming, which, seeing as Elroy was still unaccounted for wasn’t a bad idea. It also gave Penny a better idea for dealing with Thalia.

While Thalia was eyeing every shadow that she could see, Penny gently laid a hand on the Kitsune’s shoulder “I’m okay, Thalia, I’m okay” She murmured softly as stepped closer to her friend, slowly moving to give Thalia a one armed hug “It’s fine, I promise” Penny continued quietly as she adjusted her left arm so that the extra metal sticking out of it wouldn’t poke in to Thalia or scrape against anything.

“Let’s go home Thal” Penny was nearly whispering as she spoke to Thalia, Partly so that only the fox could hear her and partly so her voice wouldn’t crack from her emotions. Every transformation Penny had seen always had the same triggering factor; grievous harm of a loved one. That Thalia cared so much for Penny was a balm that Penny didn’t know she needed, but the pain she had inadvertently inflicted on Thalia was just as sharp, if not worse because of that same fact.

Penny moved so she could look in to her friend’s eyes, making sure not to block Thalia’s vision too much as she did. “Please? We can hunt later” She pleaded quietly not fully able to halt the tears in her eyes. Penny didn’t want another fight, not against anyone gathered, and her loss of control from earlier was starting to catch up to her.

If Penny heard Scout’s appeal, she made no reaction to it, just as she didn’t move to talk to Alicia or Suwako, she would talk with the bacon-bits later. Thalia was more important right now.

She just wanted to go home; she wanted to cry, but she wouldn’t, not now, not until they both were safe. She wouldn’t abandon Thalia, not now, not ever.

Penny is up and moving, but she looks to be in a grim way. What will the Demon do? and what will Beacon?

From The Darkness


The moment the metal dome sealed over Penny her energy blades deactivated and she collapsed. From an outside perspective it seemed that she was succumbing to her wounds as she wasn’t breathing.

The truth was closer to the opposite however, as she had collapsed in relief. Being surrounded by her element reminded her of her lair and Elroy was moving away, the fight seemed to be winding down. So seeing as she was safe for the moment, not being concerned with the makeshift prison, she turned her attention inwards.

The wound on her side looked bad, and it did hurt, was the first thing she focused on. Silent arcs of electricity slid across the wound leaving a lattice of thin metal in their wake as deep inside the wound the blood loss was staunched. It still looked like horrific as she was covered in blood, and the lattice wasn’t easily visible, but the wound would heal clean.

Next she focused on her biggest concern the curse that had been placed on her. That took a more effort to figure out, and in truth she didn’t even break it so much as it wore off. Still she noted the bullet that had struck her and molded it in to her chassis, it wouldn’t add any benefit, but she wanted to hold on to the bullet as a memento. She had gotten reckless when fighting, this would serve as a reminder as to why she shouldn’t do so.

Finally she addressed the spear still lodged in her arm. Originally she had intended to tear it free and begin using it against Elroy, but now a different idea had come to her. One that would take a bit amount of time to accomplish, as the magic in the spear wasn’t hers. Methodically she began imprinting herself on the spear, removing Elroy’s magic and putting her own in its place. Normally it would be an impossible feat for her, but with it still stuck in her she could use her own regeneration as an interface and workaround, slowly transforming the metal in to another part of her body. It was also why she only allowed a patch job for her side; she couldn’t heal and imprint at the same time.

Because of her focus on the task of imprinting on the metal in her arm, she was only partial aware of metal sphere being torn open. Still the sudden light got her attention. She rolled on to her slide as she glanced at Alicia and Suwako, her eyes were glazed as she kept working on the imprinting and she was still covered in her own blood.

Penny was about to say something to them when she felt heat coming from Thalia, when she turned to look at her friend she felt her blood go cold when she saw how close they had been. She hadn’t realized Thalia had gotten stuck in the sphere as well. She had assumed that the fox girl had leapt out of the way when it rolled towards them or avoided it as she was skilled at doing.

But Thalia had been in the dark with Penny, and Penny didn’t say anything. She felt terrible, a feeling that only got worse as she finally saw what the wound on her side looked like. She looked back just in time to see Thalia transform completely.

“T-thalia” Penny croaked out as she pushed herself to a stand, fighting past tears and the guilt she felt for the fear she had inflicted on her friend. She took a wobbly step towards the large Kitsune, hoping that she would be able to calm her down despite her horrid appearance.

@Vocab@Hammerman@Flamelord
I'll start working on a Penny post, late today or tomorrow is the expected up time for it.
@Majoras End Ditto, though Vocab knew that from me already
@BrokenPromise I hate car troubles, also on the Pit Stop.

@Ariamis@PlatinumSkink@t2wave Do we want to move the conclusion of that in to a collab? or are we good with just calling it? as I'm not sure how to write for that scene at the moment.
