"Maybe a battlefield you're used to, Sir Knight, but when we're literally fighting over a big heart... Well, never know, perhaps a hardened heart isn't the optimal weapon in this war." Lilliana smirked a little at Lucas's warning. She'd fought the heartless before. This would go fine, right?

"Wh... What? For life, really? Gosh, I... Um, thank you!" Lilliana stammered a bit, clearly stunned by the generosity, but also perhaps a bit more. She was set up for life? What was she gonna go to college for then? If she didn't have to worry about having a fiscally sound back up plan if magic girl didn't work out... She could study anything she wanted! But.. what did she want? Lilliana left the room looking as troubled as she did dazed, and let a maid lead her to her room barely recognizing what was around her.

Fortunately, the sight of an enormous floofy bed was more than enough to reinvigorate Lilliana's spirits, and the maid's sigh could barely be heard over the groaning springs of the mattress as Lilliana bounced up and down upon it.

~~

Still, Lilliana did eventually stop jumping on the bed, and made her way to Giorgios Kyros first, somehow, of all the warriors gathered. However, she seemed a little apprehensive at the idea of simply jumping straight into personal combat.

"Pardon me.. But, I'm not exactly sure I'm suited this sort of.. Direct training. More of a wizard really. And the books in the library seemed more of the history type at first glance than casting type. Should I head back there and look more carefully, or are there any wizards I could learn under?" @Letter Bee

"Aww.... Spoilsport. What's the point of having a robo-dinosaur if you're too cool to roar with it." Lilliana pouted as the robo-dinosaur was removed from play.

~~ 2 hours later ~~

"Umm... Now don't be too hard on him, Seth..." Lilliana was nervously pushing her fingers together. "Honestly, though I'm not going to demand it.. I'd really appreciate some money too, if we win, I mean. No point if we don't. College is getting more expensive all the time, and the time I'm out here, I'm not growing my brand or saving up for it. My manager's really been on about that, and I was already probably going to have to push it back a few years. I don't want to put my parents in debt for it." It seemed that, even as deeply hidden away as it was, Lilliana did at least have SOME common sense. "So.. Um, we don't know his situation. Maybe as cocky as he acts, he still needs the money. Maybe robo-velociraptors don't come cheap. Every time one of those breaks on the job it might cost more than the job earns to repair. Or maybe it's something completely different, and he has something else he's saving for, like me. We can't know so early. Sometimes the people trying to put up the brightest or suavest front are the ones most afraid to lose what little they can cling to for comfort." @Rex

"Huh.. A Knight? I've always seen it as some romantic ideal, but it seems more practical to him than that." Lilliana commented with a little curiosity at Lucas.

"Aaaaah!" Lilliana took a super deep breath in as the word princesses was dropped, standing straight up, only to let it all out in a "Oooooh..." As it was revealed they were not literal princesses. Then as Orpheus asked a question, she turned in surprise to answer him. "Oh, sorry, I didn't see you there! Um, well, I call myself the Radiant Heart, but that's just marketing really. Gotta have a catchy name to inspire the people!" Lilliana posed, in a manner than seemed like a trained reflex, one hand to the sky while another "dramatically" covered half her face. Before her expressions softened and downturned just the slightest bit. "My powers, they actually come from Mana. And, well, if I could turn heartless back into humans just by touching them, I would probably have a lot easier time fighting them. When my Mana runs out, I'm mostly just a liability." Her hand faintly traced a jagged little path on her side, and there was definitely a little guilt in her voice. @Gentlemanvaultboy

"Hmph." Lilliana suddenly smiled, as she put her hands on her hips while still staring down at herself. "Well, listen to me being all modest. Don't you worry, even if I'm no Princess of Heart, I'm still the right gal for the job! I'll keep you guys safe while you bring the bad guys down! We've got this!" Lilliana once again posed, but this time it felt a little more genuine, just a simple, though enthusiastic victory sign, over an outstretched playful tongue.

"Mmm..." Lilliana nodded affirmatively, glad that Seth got it so quickly. "It's almost exactly like a play! A play that can be saved up and stored like a book, and watched by anyone in a later time, just the same as when it was first performed. Some think that it always being the same cuts out some of the uniqueness of the experience, but I think everyone getting to share the experience alike and talk about what different things they saw in the same performance is more important!"

"Think of a 'Season' in this context, as a volume in a series of books. And sadly, even more so than a book, it can take a lot of effort and money to make one. So.. That's ultimately why there wasn't a season three of Sparkle Shine Cutie Crusaders." Lilliana slouched a little as she while she was happy she was communicating clearly with Seth, she also was communicating a sore subject. But that changed in an instant as Seth mimicked her gesture of friendship. "Yeah! Exactly!" Lilliana jumped up to raise her fist to a similar height to the taller Seth.

"You're a robo-velociraptor! Neat! Can you go 'RAAAWR!'" Lilliana seemed not much phased by the robo-velociraptor, except in that it seemed like a nice person to introduce herself to. She certainly seemed to find it much more interesting (and less smelly) than its owner. Lilliana had walked up to it, put her hands in a dino-esque pose, and was now attempting to have roaring contest with it. @Rex

Michael might have to wonder if, despite her strength of heart, perhaps. Lilliana was not the wisest one to invite to a war council. She didn't seem to be paying much attention.
Sapphire Pink



"Mmm, well..." Sapphire Pink glanced between her Cookies, Chen, Ruxen, and Deva. "I guess one out of three isn't bad!" She smiled, though whether she was referencing the cookies or their reception was open to interpretation. "I suppose I forgot to bring cups, so if only one person wants anything, they can just have the bottle. And it's not like someone super special guardian guy could get drunk off half a bottle of wine. So, as thanks for trying my cookies Chen!" Pink handed Chen the bottle, and waved the cookie plate for one last pass if he wanted to snag a few, before turning away.

"Just you wait! I'll make something soooooo amazing that you'll be super happy and want to be my friend! Till then, I'll keep trying. See you soon!" Pink directed this next statement at Ruxen... Or perhaps also at Deva, what with her recent efforts at enchanting. Then Sapphire Pink sparkled her way away, as she turned the corner lightly going "Hm.. Maybe if I..? No, she's probably already got one..."

"But they're so cute..." Lilliana pouted but nonetheless acquiesced, pulling back her hands from seeking out Seth's ears.

When Damianos brought up multiverse theory and such, Lilliana laughed and waved it off, "That's baby stuff! Every good show these days has multiverse theories and alternate timelines and another worlds. It was even the season 2 plot twist in ★Sparkle Shine Cutie Crusaders★ where the Sparkle Bright's nemesis Dark Night actually turned out to be the alternate universe version of her that had been living with her as twin sisters this whole time! And then we learn that the reason she was in the world she was in was because a disaster had occurred in her world and all her friends had cast a spell to send her to the universe we watch so that she could gather enough Sparkle Power to save her world. But something messed up with the spell and turned her back into a kid the same age as the her in our universe, and weakened her powers, so she grew up always thinking she was just the less special version of her sister which was why she had so much repressed anger about her sister. That's why she jumped at the chance when the Comet Witch offered her the Evil Omen Sigil as a way to harvest the main character's powers and save her world, because it gave her both a way to be as special as her sister and be as strong as her sister! When the alternate reality sisters finally reunite, defeat the Comet Witch, and agree to try and find a way to save both their worlds, it's a heartwarming finish to a show that surely deserves season three to resolve the story! UUUUUGH I'M SO MAD WHY DIDN'T IT GET SEASON THREE?" Lilliana then proceeded to drone on and on about some magical girl show. Apparently even a world that had actual real life magical girls, you still had shows about the same thing. Perhaps there were even more, due to the hope that one actually could become a real magical girl.

Regardless, Lilliana also took a seat with a frown and crossed arms, throwing herself down angrily. She seemed to have worked herself into quite a huff. However, that huff had absolutely nothing on the next thing to happen that conquered her angry mood faster than the eye could follow. There was a happy little fox yipping! Lilliana couldn't help but bring her hands up to smush her cheeks while her eyes sparked. "Awwwww..... That is... I was so wrong... THAT is the cutest thing ever. Though I guess it's still the same person, so maybe I'm not wrong? Hmm.... Operation Cute Fox Friend, go!" Lilliana got a little bit quieter as she thought out loud to herself, before deciding on a course of action and affirming it loudly.

"So, what's your name? You've told us a lot about who Faunus are, but not a lot about who YOU are." Lilliana then actually started talking to Seth rather than to herself. @Rex

It's my habit to include mentions near parts of my posts that actively involve other people and perhaps need a reaction, in case people are skimming.

If that bothers you, let me know, and I won't mention you.

"I can't breath Kupo! A poor helpless moogle was getting relentlessly snuggled within the arms of Lilliana. Though not one normally performing superhuman physical feats, the sight of something so fluffy had awoken a primal force within her. Lilliana may not have a body with herculean strength, but 110% of the power she did have was clamped around the adorable little Moogle. Said Moogle had barely managed to give out his message before being hugged.

"Of course I'll help something so cute in trouble! Lead on to the people who need help, Fluffy!" Lilliana nuzzled against the moogle as she answered its request in a way that indicated she probably hadn't 100% understood the message. Then she turned to her squad, who she had been on patrol with. "Girls, I'm going to go help with this! Ruby, can you cover for me?"

"Pfft, yeah I can handle it. I could handle the entire heartless threat if they'd stop hiding from me."
"Be safe!"
"Bring me back a souvenir!"
The squad answered back, yelling over each other as Sapphire Pink traveled to another world.

~~

Lilliana was agape at how pretty the world she had traveled to. Everything was so pretty and bright! Nature and technology coexisted, butterflies in a city center! (She couldn't resist adding one of her own to the butterfly swarm, a pink healing one. This distraction fortunately gave the moogle time to escape.)

"So shinging.. Sparkling.. Radiant even! Like light itself is infused into the very stone! Is this what home will be like soon? Oooh, I can't wait!" Lilliana gushed as she twirled and flitted about, taking in the scenery all at once in a heady daze. She bumped into one of the special forces members trying to guide her even. While skilled in the arts of magic, the skill of proper military decorum she did NOT have.

Unfortunately, her decorum around emperors was just as bad, if not worse. If not stopped, she would be hugging everyone as they was introduced. Emperor, Bassilisa, Nobody, Sorcerer, Special Forces, Lilliana's hugs were nondiscriminatory, though fortunately not as constricting snakelike as the poor moogle had endured. All the while Lilliana would be introducing herself over and over again. "I'm Lilliana, also known as Sapphire Pink, the Radiant Heart! It's so great to meet you, let's be friends! You can count on me!"
@Letter Bee

Seth's appearance, unfortunately for him, would inspire Lilliana as she heard him speak up and turned to get a look at him for the first time. "OMIGOSH! Are those real! Do you have a tail too? Can I touch your ears! You are the cutest thing ever!" Rather than take him as cool, or scary, Seth's came across as adorable to Lilliana, despite the fact that he had practically a foot of height and a hundred and some change pounds on her. Bounding over to him with relentless energy, she bounced up to pet at his ears, not waiting for permission.
@Rex

@Nuriko That doesn't seem any weirder than magical girl world, and still has a strong human and earth focus, so I'd guess so. (Disclaimer, I am not the GM. :P)
@Letter Bee I keep seeing references to "three foremost" and stuff. Are the 'invited to join the war council' slots already taken up?
