Mirror, o mirror

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Who: Lily, Winter, others [OPEN to friendly Vegas dwellers, except where noted.]
What: Requisite mid-season magical girl power up time Lily has called people nearby to talk and try and get a handle on who's around. Also, she has this nifty thing! ... too bad she doesn't know how to make it work ...
Where: We're going to say a food court somewhere - let's say the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood in Vegas. They have places where random gatherings could just converge.
When: Monday, September 15th, Mid-Afternoon

Lily wasn't content to just sit around. No, they did need to do something, and the first part of that would have to be discussion.

She's nervous about being back here still, of course. That memory of the Vermini tearing into her suddenly became much more vivid once they were within the Vegas boundaries again, but... There are other things they have to focus on.

So, on Monday morning she tries to get hold of whoever she can that might be nearby, and tells them where to meet up. It's nothing but an informal meeting, no grand plans are going to be discussed as far as she can figure, but... touching base, in person, with whoever she can feels like something that should happen.

Jasmine nods, and gets up, leading Lily over away from the group. Once there, she takes a deep breath... and takes out the container for both of her contact lenses.

And then removes them. She angles her head so Lily can't see while she's doing this, and then once it's done, she closes her eyes, looks back up... and opens both of her eyes.

Memory suddenly floods into Lily's mind, of the Heartcatch Precure - once again, in their Super Silhouette forms - facing down Dark Precure. She opened her eyes and then... Unseen power swept them away, striking them down in an instant.

Lily stumbles a bit, a hand to her head, feeling dazed for a moment and unable to respond immediately.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Jasmine's eyes widened. She moved forward to catch Lily and make sure she didn't fall, momentarily putting aside her own insecurity.

"What happened?!" she asked. "What's wrong? Is it a pulse?!"

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Lily nods a bit, somewhat weakly, but she starts to regain her footing quickly enough. She's sadly used to this, by now.

"It was, I... saw Yuri encountering Dark Precure with..."

She pauses a beat, and then eyes her sister. "Did you get a power with that, as well?"

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Mn.

"Same as mine then," Jasmine said, looking to the side. "I... I did get a power, yeah, but it's not something I can show off here..."

[alilyinthemoonslight]

A small breath, and reached out to put a hand on her sister's arm. "Well, then... Then at least you have something you can use, right?" She pauses a bit, and tries for a gentle smile. "What matters is how you use it, Jasmine. Remember?"

[jasminebloominginshadow]

"..."

Jasmine nodded slowly. There's more that she wants to say, another thing she wants to talk about but she's conflicted enough as is.

"I know. I just... Well, at least it's not as bad as the time I thought I'd killed you at least...?"

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Lily shudders a little, shifting uncomfortably. "Ah... y- yeah, I guess it's not as bad as that..."

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Jasmine nods, and leans forward, hugging Lily. "Thank you," she said quietly. "I... I'm sorry I've been holding this in..."

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Lily manages a smile, wrapping her arms around her sister and hugging her back. "It's fine, Jasmine. It happens, but... don't hold these things in. Remember that, okay?"

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Nngh. More guilt.

"Right..." she said, nodding as she pulled away. Then, she pulled out her contact holder, and moved to put them back in. "I guess... I guess we should head back now, right?"

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Lily smiles gently, resting a hand on her shoulder. "I'd say we might be worrying them if we stayed away too long, but... I don't want you to worry about doing that either, okay? It's not just me. Winter, Marina... All of us are there for you, Jasmine. So... let's get back to them, okay?"

think we can wrap here

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Jasmine nodded, smiling. Her eyes were now back to what they'd been before... hiding their true nature. But Jasmine felt like all she needed was a bit of time now, at least.

"Right. Let's head back."
