Alexandrine looked up, to see one familiar face, and one not so familiar. This was probably convenient though. “We can do that, but it looks like we will be joined by a few others for a little.” She stood up. Walked over to Elie and the unknown girl. “I’m glad you decided to stay. We both probably needed this.” She looked at the girl with her. Another new Magical Girl? “Welcome. Did the Princess of Fate bring you to meet me? We can talk in a little. But it is almost time for my new teammates to sing the song they signed up to do. I should go watch. You are all welcome to come along.” She stepped forward slowly, seeing how many would follow her. After the song was over, maybe she would talk to one or more of them more. There were a few days too. If Fujiko decided to do something else, they might meet again later, by themselves.

I’ll have Alexandrine bring the rest of the group to watch Emi and Rin sing, now that they are wanting to see her. Will see how they break up after the song.

Rin was not worried about Emi. If she had been left alone, maybe it would have eventually happened. But between herself, Alexandrine and others, she should be safe. That said, it was a non-impossibility someone might try to break her or Alexandrine. It was one of things every Magical Girl had to be prepared to fight. She silently gripped Emi’s hand tightly. Reassuring her, and reassuring herself. That the two of them would never find each other in a circumstance like that. Neither would fight the other. The song moved her in a way it might not have before, now that she was part of this world.

There was the other new Magical Girl they had rescued. But how experienced was she? Did she even want to talk about it, after what the demon did to her? There was Alexandrine’s…friend? Jumi. The Rose Fairy. But again, uncertain how much experience she had. Neither of them knew the truth about her yet. But at least Jumi would not be surprised. She was not the first this had happened to apparently, though that was kept secret from the public. Or did she mean talking to boys? Rin was not sure. She had not yet noticed Emi getting into it. Maybe she would encourage it a little more if she did. ”Maybe. Though we should probably wait here until our turn.” The first girl had finished. With a bow and wave to the crowd, she stepped down. Another girl came up. Singing a more tragic song. Not of the death of a friend. But betrayal. A girl who was a close friend and ally, now an enemy, twisted around a demon’s finger. Everything between lost, but not forgotten. A bitterness but realization she had to fight. The singing was intense genuine. Rin had to wonder if it was based on something the girl had gone through. “At least none of the old team had that fate.” As tragic as it was, if Alexandrine had gone through that, it would have been even worse. At least Emi’s mom had not been broken by her father too, though she did not say that.

She will get plenty of chances to pet the bunny.

Rin listened quietly. The feelings she mentioned at the end. Kind of like what she felt when hearing Hikaru’s speech. It was not anything like that though, was it? Then there was that boy they met with Elie. He was also a Knight. Was he here? “Well, I don’t know if I would have gone in there without someone’s permission.” She glanced at the Alexandrine plushie in Emi’s arms. If neither of them had been there, she was not sure which shower she would have entered. “Once I was in there. I was a little captivated by you. Both of you kind of, but there was something about you.” Things had moved much faster than she could have hoped for. “Others here probably feel something like that for you. Both of us really. This is the safest place. For both of us.” The safest place to take a chance like this. “Though I don’t know how blatant they will be. How many of them will try to do things with us, to make us want them.” It was what a lot of boys here probably hoped for. Not to outright ask for sex, but to try to impress them. Make them want to do it. Would another boy excite Emi like that? She would not be jealous if one or more did. Would one excite her? Could one? She did not know. Part of her wanted to encourage Emi, give her a chance to experience something like that where it was easiest. ”Don’t know how many other people I can talk to. There’s….the Diamond Sorceress.” She was careful, had to be sure not to mention real names. “Not sure how much she wants to talk about that. Not very close to any other women currently. Not any that know about this side of me at least.” She might end up doing it, before having a chance to talk to someone who knew more. *** Alexandrine’s hand gripped Fujiko’s back, without realizing it. She found it hard to believe it was a place she never heard of, but she was not going to push for details. This had been difficult for the woman. It was not the same as her experience. But she could imagine much of it. The demon lord probably was not Zorn. He focused on this area. It was good that one was gone as well. She did not ask how far Fujiko was used. It would not surprise her if they had both been used that way. “I keep both my lives separate. If you understand I will say very little about my civilian life or identity…I would not mind spending more time with you.” She did want to spend some time with Emi and Rin. But perhaps this was something she had needed. She was vulnerable at the moment. The demon knew how to speak to her, and had an appealing form. “I will spend time with you today, if that is what you want.” Just sit here, do some of the other things around maybe. Though Fujiko needed more work and time to tempt Alexandrine to invite her to a private room.

Yeah, either she can escape to where they are, or she can just try to find anyone in the area that could help and open a portal they might go through (Zorn having a way to hide his presence, just watching through Hellhound).

Alexandrine and Rin made their way through the halls. Hearing the noise get louder as the approached. It seemed Emi had found the demon first. Along with a number of other presences, none of them familiar. Alexandrine focused on the presence of the first one she sensed Emi, now at her side. She focused her power, took Ryan’s hand. The door was blocked. The demon. If she did not have Ryan with her she might have tried to intercept the demon, prevent it from running. Then she heard the crash. Another option. She moved towards that, finding the open window. Jumping in, landing in front of Emi and Ellie. Ryan behind her. She glanced back at the Magical Girl behind her. Hints of what had happened. Then the boy, a new Knight? Finally the demon. She glared at it. “You are not welcome here. I would tell you to ask the last bunch of demons to torment this place what I feel about them. If there were any left.” Anger. Flashbacks. That last battle. Her old team. She had no reason to believe this one was the same as Emi. “I will give you one chance to run, and if you do, don’t come back.” Her body began to glow. Years of pain bubbling back up, her gaze locked on the demon. “I am the Diamond Sorceress. This is my home. I will allow no demon, monster, alien, to hurt the people I swore to protect.”

Rin nodded. She was not sure if there was anything else to talk about. Well maybe. She supposed it was as good of a time to have some ‘girl talk’. Get advice of a sort and just learn how Emi thought about such things. “If you do decide to do it. What kind of boy do you think you would look for? Anything that makes you want one more than another?” Emi might not have had experience. But that did not mean she did not have preferences, her eyes were drawn to some more than others. Her heart…other parts. “What does it feel like, when one gets your attention.” Sure she had been attracted to girls before as a boy, Emi included. But she wanted to hear another perspective. See if Emi felt anything like the confusing things she currently felt. **** “Someone like me can’t have someone else.” Emi and Rin were teammates, friends. She trusted them deeply. But something deeper. She believed that was still impossible, remembering her past attempts. To not be alone. Nothing long term could happen here. But would it really hurt to spend some time with this woman? She seemed to be hurt as well. “If it is not too painful to talk about, how exactly did the demons hurt you?” A sensitive subject, but maybe she wanted to talk about it. Especially with someone who shared similar pain. She did not know where this was going to go. But maybe this was someone easier to talk to than most.

I’ve never considered myself as good at actions scenes. Hopefully will do as well. Was going to have the two of them charge into the room, to Emi and Elie, but was not quite sure where everyone was standing if it was a clear path.

To not be alone. That look in the woman’s eyes was hard to resist. Kind of like Emi, but not quite the same. But unlike Emi, there was less she could do for this woman. At best make sure she did not get hurt again. She could keep the woman company here, if that was what she wanted. But she had to look elsewhere for something long term. “An interesting place to look for companionship. Hope you succeed.” She was cautious about saying too much about Emi or Rin. “I have not known them very long. Maybe I will find one or two others here too.” Ellie was still a possibility. Could there be others? It was best not let a team get too big, though she did not have a strict number in mind. There could be others not known, discovered here one way or another.

Going to keep Rin and Emi talking for a bit. Everyone can do what they want. Though I do like the idea of Elie listening to Rin and Emi sing. Setting things up for her to try to make them professionals later. Mitsuko can listen too if she wants. After that they may or may not stick together. Rin and Emi might eventually go boy hunting, or boys start trying to get their attention (again, could be played by me, someone else, or a combination) but that is still a bit off and could be after they break away from Ellie and Mitsuko(?). The convention is a few days long. Plenty of time for various things to happen.

The truth was Rin was unlikely to take that step without Emi joining her. She did not consider that promise a burden. She wanted to do things with Emi and was unlikely to cross that line by herself. At this point the other girl had finally begun singing. Some light rock song. She was quite into it. No professional herself, but good enough to be enjoyable in a place like this. The crowd attention was on her. She shook her head. “I don’t think I’m ready to even think about doing that by myself.” Emi had not ruled it out. She would just have to wait and see what happened. She felt….safer? Doing it with a friend. There was something appealing about them doing it together as a pair of girls. Though she tried to remind herself she was only a part time girl. Her thoughts were much more confused, feelings and desires she did not understand. There was a genuine curiosity but unease about indulging it. ”I don’t know what you went through before we met. Don’t feel forced to do it. But if it happens, I want us to experience it together.” If she found someone else who turned her on. If Emi wanted to do it. Then it would happen. Otherwise, Rin would not act on whatever it was going inside her. Not cross a line where she had no idea what would happen. She also just thought even with a lack of experience, as a girl, Emi might be a better judge of the right boy(s) to do it with.

Have sex with a boy, as a girl. In a place like it was possible. She remembered the night with Emi. With Alexandrine. She needed to find a Knight apparently, to feel what they did. It made her feel a little weird, imagining a boy doing that to her. But if she was completely honest, she did wonder what it felt like. She looked out into the crowd, the boys gathered. It could be any of them. It was not going to be before they sang. But did she dare do it? It seemed like admitting she was not really a boy anymore. She had not committed to it yet. But what did Emi feel about it? “Did you have any interest in it? Looking for some boy or boys. Spending time alone with them?” Was it something she already had any interest in doing by herself? But then Rin had said they would never be apart during the convention. “…or in looking for a few together?” Unknowingly suggesting Alexandrine’s suggestion to Emi. Looking for a few boys together. Two. Maybe even more, if Emi liked the idea of each having more than one at a time.

Rin still did not really understand what she was thinking and feeling. She did not necessarily want to appeal to boys, but maybe some small piece of her felt pride that she did. “It was a little weird for me. I’ve never been touched like that before. Never even thought about that kind of thing with boys. I played it up a little on stage. Knowing the audience thinks this is my real body, that I have always physically been a girl. I signed up for this, knowing what some of them will think about me. It just seemed like something I should do now. But also just want to have fun with you. Do things I might not have otherwise.” She was encouraging it. She had mixed feelings about it. But she did not intend to stop. She did not really understand where it might go, what could happen.

Rin appreciated it a little more now. It was the sort of thing she had heard about, but while she passed fairly well as a girl in her cross dressing, this was the first time she experienced it. It was a strange feeling. Not exactly welcomed, but proof her body at least really was that of a girl’s now. The ways might think of her now. She was curious what Emi felt about it. Someone who always was a girl, though she had not lived a conventional life. “How does it make it you feel? The boys looking at you like that? The little touches? You were pretty out of it, but you were rather popular on stage. We’re probably both going to be pretty popular when we sing.” A crowd was already gathering, mix of boys and girls. Though they were currently focused on the other girl, preparing to sing. “Maybe we’ll become an idol pair, go on tour between battles.” She joked, believing neither were actually good enough for that. **** ”Demons cause a variety of pain.” Alexandrine did not elaborate. The woman could maybe guess. Killing was not the only misfortune demons brought to people. Especially women. Emi’s mother, Ellie…herself. Plenty of Magical Girls, even some unlucky ordinary women. That was not something she admitted to many though. She was sure the woman was telling the truth, it was common enough and she sounded honest. She had closed herself off so long. That night with Emi and Rin cracked the shell a bit. This Fujiko knew what she was doing. The right approach for someone who had been alone so long. Alexandrine did not pull her hand away…she had not ruled out spending private time with a fan or two during the few days of the convention. If Fujiko tried hard enough and wanted it, it might happen. ”This is my home. My territory. I need to protect it. I’ve remembered that.” That was the motivation that brought her back to doing this. That and wanting to give Emi some happiness. The last question was one that made any Magical Girl or Knight cautious. It was the point of these events. But it could only go so far. There were a very few that were open, used their real names and such. But she was not one of them. “What exactly do you want to know?” There was no promise she would answer them, but she would at least hear the questions, and decide how much she was willing to say.

Zorn had watched her. Eyes slightly drawn to the slightly spread legs. Maybe another time. He was a demon, but with a being like Hellhound, that would only happen if she wanted it. Or at least looked tempted. He took the meat, smelled it. He was aware humans did this. A weakness of theirs, their stomachs could not handle raw meat. He did not necessarily think it improved the taste. But he did not think it ruined the taste either. He did not hesitate to take a bite of it, quickly chew and swallow. He rarely savored his meals. Had to be something truly special. Though it was purely about hunger for him either, he could enjoy eating. "Will this be enough for you, or do you plan to hunt for more?"

Alexandrine and Ryan kept up the drive. Ryan had transformed in the process. A sigh from Alexandrine. "I had hoped to train you before this. But we have no time. You are faster, stronger than normal. But stick behind me for now. Don't fight unless you have too. If you do have to, all I can say is draw the power from within, discover it's nature and use it to defend yourself." Ryan did not have time to respond as they reached their destination, with a screeching halt. Alexandrine quickly transformed and they ran into the building. Another unfamiliar presence. The first one had help at least. Two new Magical Girls and/or Knights? Visitors from another territory? They would find out. For now they were running through the building, towards the demonic presence she had sensed.

My idea was she would somehow bring Zorn and Hellhound to them, or run to them herself. Might stick around with them, on and off at least, after they separate from the girls (and guys, was not expecting BladeRunner to join that thread, but that could just make it more interesting). That being the case, she probably knows the history between Alexandrine and Zorn. If she is feeling ambitious she could try to get Alexandrine to invite her to one of the private rooms. Not mark her like Ellie, but maybe try to warm her up/weaken her to try to do it later.

Alexandrine was relaxed for the moment. Anywhere else, this would have been very dangerous for the demon to attempt, even with help to mask her presence. After what she went through, she did not put her guard down easily. Especially now that she knew there were active demons again. It was because they were surrounded by many other Magical Girls and Knights that she was this relaxed. The slightest thing that gave a hint to the demon's true nature would put her in a lot of danger. Alexandrine studied her. It had been a few years. She was a completely different woman, the last time she was in this situation. It was a delicate subject of conversation as well. More delicate than the average civilian knew. Connections in the team she was not likely to tell any random fan. But her face remained still. There was the promise, she would not break it. She supposed it was nice to be offered sympathies, but it was difficult to know what to say in a case like this. She had put this off so long, she had not considered what to do now. This was the point of sitting here though. She expected someone to join her sooner or later. "I have spent a long time mourning." She said, with a small nod to the question about sitting. *** Rin had managed to more or less safely guide Emi to the stage, but they stayed towards the back. Another girl was preparing for her chance to sing. "...That was a new experience. Not used to getting touched like that." Some of them had been way too targeted in their bumps or where the hands landed. Not quite blatant, but not completely hiding the intention either. "That wasn't too much for you, was it?" She hoped the touches did not bother Emi too much. More importantly, she hoped Emi was not bothered by the crowd. "What's it like, being able to walk around so openly, without hiding yourself?" It was a place no one found Emi strange, if anything, they looked up to her, as a Magical Girl.

Wednesday and Friday, my quieter days. Got a bit to catch up with there. Not sure if anyone else is going to join the Convention. If not, will figure out something for Mitsuko.

Well, it had finally happened. Alexandrine had told the crowd, and soon it would spread. The death of her old team, and how now, after several years of mourning, she was back. Starting to put a new team together. She had no idea what sort of reactions she was going to get from the fans. A bunch of apologies and well wishes. Trying to help her feel better. But what to expect beyond that. She had found herself at a table in back of the cafeteria area. Where anyone could come up to her, eat with her and talk. So far no one had come, perhaps giving her her space, considering the circumstances. That just meant she had more time to prepare for when someone did. Of course it was not a fancy restaurant or anything like that. Simple quick food. At the moment she had a few slices of pizza sitting on her plate. That she slowly ate, as she relaxed and waited to see who came up to her. They could talk to her, ask her to do one of the various activities with them. Except the private rooms. It was not a strict rule, but the fans were expected not to ask for that. The Magical Girl/Knight would make the invitation, if they wanted to.

I could go either way on the battling. Especially since I still don’t have much of a sense of the exact powers of either of my characters involved. Though there is still the probability of Hellhound and Zorn getting involved (Zorn out of sight, watching) and the three of them remaining together after getting away from the girls.

Emi and Rin do need a few fanboys to eventually spend time with. Though I’ll cover that, if no one else does.

Yeah, we’ll still wait a bit, see if she finds her way to one of my characters, or someone else’s.
