And Lilli was just on her way to her favorite bar with her favorite vampiric barkeeper. She hadn't been there in a while, and had randomly decided to visit. But something made the mage halt on her way. A noise. And she looks to the side, looking over to a dark part of the street... and there it was. A cat. A gorgeous cat. As far as she was aware this might be a... maine coon? And a beautiful orange one even.

But she hesitates. Not moving over to the animal just yet. She knows some animals had... some fear of her when she approached. Lilli guessed it was the shadows, that followed her very move, and the animals felt that. So yeah. She had been scratched and bit before, so she is careful when approaching pets like that.

And yet she can't but think that a cat like this must have a home. Maine coons are expensive. They aren't usually strays, right? After a moment the woman starts to move carefully towards the feline. Slowly, as to not startle it, and slightly crouched down while holding a hand out, and getting closer.

" Pspspspsps! Here kitty. Come here- "

The mage tries to lure the cat. Oh, and now that she was closer to it, she could tell it's fur looked so soft. She wants to pet it so badly!

" Are you lost...? Perhaps? "

[schattenmagier]

She had not been bored that much actually. In fact, he seemed to be very... friendly. The thief simply didn't knew what else they could talk about. Besides, if she wanted to talk to him, or if he wanted to, they sure aren't going to leave any time soon.

" Alright... Thank you. " " Hm. Perhaps he will spare me a moment of his time... "

Lilli mumbled, and turned to leave towards where Venigni had pointed out Geppetto to be. Hopefully he is up for a chat. The more information she gathered about the situation, the better. Maybe there will be something useful.

As Venigni wished her good luck, she turns towards him again for a moment, just to give a nod, and disappear out of sight.

"Ah, but of course."

Here he was, rambling and likely boring her to death! As if anyone could get bored with him, anyway. Perhaps a little overwhelmed? He can get a little bit verbose, after all!

With a quick clearing of his throat, the Prince of Krat tips his hat to her, giving a quick nod.

"Then don't let me take your time any further! If you need any help... or just to chat, I'll be here.

As for Geppetto, well..." another clearing of his throat. "He's usually very busy, and a bit... distant, lately. "

He never was a chatty person, but in the last few years he just got more and more closed off... but, honestly could anyone blame him for that? Venigni wasn't the only one accused of messing with all of Krat because of his puppets, after all!

"...but I'm sure he could take a few minutes to chat. Best of luck!"

@ infernalpursuit [ @miratenebrarum Pinocchio ] asked:

“Are you lost?” <- said in the most plain and emotionless way ever btw

Again. The thief found herself in a unfamilar place. Again, not the first time, and surely not her last. Standing now in a city she had never visited, Lilli was indeed lost. She also saw not a soul besides herself. Perhaps a dead place. Maybe a place in which she could find some valuable goods...?

A voice ripped her out of her thought's, and made the woman spin around... just to find a boy not standing to far away from her. Something on him was strange, though Lilli couldn't exactly tell what it was. Surely not his plain and emotionless way to talk to her, because she replied just the same, with her face also showing barely any reaction.

" I suppose I am... Do you mind telling me where I am? "

Perhaps she could get some information from this one. He was the only other person she saw around so far after all.

@teknah asked:

“This path is scary at night…”  [[ Mainverse Nero for any version of Lilli

She doesn't often land on actual planets that often. Usually just on public space stations but... this one had been the only good place to get supplies before her fuel had ran out. And boy oh boy. When you are in space there is no day-night circle. It was always dark. And after staying on this planet for a few days she decided that she prefers the night. The sun was way to bright.

And the woman wasn't scared to walk around at night in this harbor. Even if she had been told to avoid certain paths. Well, she takes those anyway if she has to. Like right now. And it didn't take to long to someone to actually talk to her. Just... not in the aggressive manner that she would have expected.

A low laugh comes from behind her helmet. With her voice sounding a little distorted by it as she finally spoke.

" Oh, is it? Hm~ "

She eyes him behind her visor. Perhaps he didn't meant that he was scared, but wondered with that what she was doing in a place like this. No matter. Lilli decided to play around a little.

" Do you perhaps need someone to valk zhat path vith you~? I mean, I don't mind accompanying a cute guy~ "

And a little flirt. Because why not. He was kinda cute in her opinion.

" Besides, I need to go zhrough here anyway to get to my ship~ "

[schattenmagier]

@teknah / from X

She was kinda of ready for him to flip her over his shoulder or something like that. But thankfully, he apparently noticed quickly enough that it was just her. How lucky she was! Perhaps he was getting used to her sudden appearance? And how sweet of him trying to support her weight ♥

" Yes~ My favorite~ "

He was also one of the only vigilante's she knew so...

" Ohhhhh! Pizza? Mhm~ Maybe you let me join in on zhat~? If you get me one too, you might even get a real kiss zhis time~ "

The woman lilted again, and finally slid off his back, before opting to just stand closely next to him.

" Hm~ My idea's vould include something like cuddling, and perhaps even vatching a movie~ But I am not sure if zhe big bad Direlash is up for such zhings~ "

[schattenmagier]

And she watched from her newfound 'seat' as Junker took down the rest of the goons. And Lilli had to admit that she was a little impressed. He took them out so quickly and precise. Makes her wonder who he was under that mask. Not the average guy she assumed. Perhaps a little bit like herself.

As the other turns then to her, Schatten could have sworn that she had seen something like a smile for a second. Or it was just the trick of the light. Because he doesn't seems like someone who smiled a lot. Or at all. But she also knew him for not even a full day! So who knows what he is actually like?

" Yeah. Caught him all just for you, Mister Mysterious~ "

She still doesn't knows his name or alias, so he has to deal with this nickname for now.

" And of course! Glory is all mine for catching zhe guy! Now... Vhat you vanna do vith him, hm? Zhis time he can't run away again! "

And so he does.

He appeared for a split-second wisp to dole out a haymaker punch from one side. Then a repeat performance on the opposite side, for a whole other gangster. As the second went down, a tommy gun they were trying to grab from within a steamer trunk nearby started firing off into the ceiling, getting the remainder of these ne'er-do-wells ducking for cover.

All the easier to bash them over the head with chairs or stomp them into unconsciousness. With death of course, awaiting anyone who refused to stay down or escape. And then at last, the mystery man turned to look at Schatten.

And he slowly raised his forearm for a low thumbs-up. The expression on what was visible of his face uncurling somewhat from a frown to something that almost turned upwards into a smile. One of those 'blink and you'll miss it' type moments.

"Caught the ringleader... basking in glory, there?"

[schattenmagier]

X / @5mind

It wasn't that the green ranger had been specifically seeking her out , really. There had been mention of a suspicious figure lurking about this corner of the neighbourhood. But since the members of the mechanical squadron themselves could count as 'suspicious figures' as well, Fivemind was giving this stranger the benefit of a doubt. If anything, they were here out of curiosity. [ Reports of disturbance. ] read the words on Green Five's visor. [ Not accusing, just checking. ] [ Are you new around here? ]

The vigilante was pretty sure she knew who this robot was. Of course she had heard of the squadron from the goons, and villains who had came into the bar while she was working. Hm, the 'mechanical squadron fivemind' if she remembered right. But besides knowing that they were a team of five robots, and that they apparently were heroes, she doesn't know that much about them. Though, after she was a vigilante, she had guessed their ways would cross at some point. And today was the day apparently.

" Disturbance! Oh, vhat kind of disturbance, hm~? And how sweet of you to check up on me~ "

Schatten speaks, with just a hint of a flirt in her voice. Should she tell them that the 'disturbance' was probably caused by her? Well, or solved. Because she just beat up some guys who were out for trouble.

" And hm~ You could say, or vell text in your case, zhat I am new here, I guess~ "

[schattenmagier]

@teknah asked:

"You. They said you roughed up one of the local gangs for fun." Schatten has company on the rooftops...

"I just put those upstarts on MY payroll. What the hell'd you go and do that for?! Who even ARE you?!"

Ah. What a wonderful and quiet night. Schatten was currently laying on her back, on a rooftop. Watching the stars, and just relaxing... Until someone suddenly spoke to her. And they didn't sounded to happy with her little 'heroic' act.

But the vigilante didn't stood up yet. She just lazily bent her head a little backwards to look at the stranger. Huh... She isn't sure if that is a villain or hero. He sure looked a little bit... 'menacing' in that dark outfit!

" Huh? Didn't knew you guys are calling dibs on criminals now! "

And there was clearly amusement to hear in her voice as the vigilante spoke. Was this guy really angry that she beat the shit out of some gang? Come on.

" Vhy? You said zhe reason yourself already, haven't you? For fun! Or rather, because I found zhem simply annoying~ "

If that is the truth is debatable though.

" Also, you approaching me, not even knowing vho I am? Sad. And zhere I zhought most baddies, and goodies, have already heard of lil' old Schatten zhat everyone calls a vigilante~! "

She is simply teasing him at this point.

[schattenmagier]

[ Attention! // Accepting! ]

@5mind asked:

“I suppose you’ve deserved some of our attention." By 'our' Antares meant the Agency's, of course. Personally, he couldn't be assed to look into whatever vigilante was out prowling the streets. He's just trying to pay the bills here. "Schatten, was it?"

Oh boy. She was just taking a lil walk! Checking out the new city she had moved to. And suddenly there is a guy in front of her, and apparently knows her even! Not that this is surprising. She had been around for a few days, and well... Already made a name for herself. Now the only questions was... villain or hero? His appearance though... Hasn't she heard about a guy with a scorpion tail?

" 'Our attention'? "

Lilli or rather 'Schatten' looks around, but spots no one but the man in the helmet. Perhaps he means the one he is working for or with. Wouldn't surprise her to much. She already has been approached by someone from uhhhh... She forgot the name of that- company? Network? Well she forgot the name already. She just knows she turned them down, and told them to try harder to get her on their side.

Her attention was back then at Antares, and she simply shrugs. Hey! At least he knows her 'temporary name'. At least until she found something better.

" Deserve, perhaps. But zhe better question vould be, do I vant your attention~? I mean, not zhat I mind a hot guys attention but you know. It deepends on vhat you vant from me! "

Well, a little flirting doesn't hurts, eh?

" And you got zhat name right. Hm, I zhink I heard of you. Guy vith a scorpion tail... thing. But I didn't caught your name? "

[schattenmagier]

Her reaction was actually quite adorable. A little like those girls she had seen in movies after they had received a call from their crush. Seeing her so giggly made the vigilante smile behind her moutmask. But what Lilli had said as really what she thought. Peekaboo sure did seemed like a fun little hero to have around. And who is she to try to kill someones spirit? She loves to tease, but that would be just mean for no reason.

There really was no surface or any difference when Schatten tried to feel for something underneath, above, and next to the jester. How interesting! She guessed then that this must be some kind of physic power then. A chuckle leaves the woman then though as Peekaboo spoke. Of course. No one likes to tell exactly what powers they had. She included.

" Of course~ I should have guessed! Vould be quite boring if everyone just revealed zheir secrets to anyone~! "

She did lightly tilt her head though when a finger was pointed at her then. And Schatten was again silent for a moment.

Of course she had secrets. Way to many perhaps. Nothing she is going to share if she can't help it. Or at least she isn't going to tell the truth if she is asked about it. So, the hooded vigilante simply shrugs.

" Yeah~ I do have some secrets~ Don't ve all, Peek~? "

[💜] Peekaboo giggled and playfully hid her face from such sweet words— all while she kicked her feet like an excited schoolgirl in a movie (all that was missing from this scene was a shrill squeal)! Instead: squeals were replaced by the chimes of bells on the ends of her shoes. 

Now, whether or not what Schatten said rang true like those bells of hers, it tickled the playful phantomime ever so. Ophelia had a long ways to go, but for tonight with the other beside her, she seemed to be on the right path.

Peekaboo’s smile stayed while she watched the other masked miss, whose hand slipped through nothing as it was held out underneath where the phantomime lounged. No solid matter, no change in the air, not even a static of ectoplasm.

“A magician never reveals her secrets.” She then placed a finger to her own lips as if to shush the other’s curiosity, before that same finger twirled around to point at Schatten.

“You look like you have your own secrets, too.”

@asurastro asked:

"Huh. Y'know, I've seen plenty of super-types frequent that bar where you work. But never that new Schatten lady-- we hung out a couple times, but mostly she seems to enjoy buggin' me... am I just an easy target??" [[ For civilian Lilli, secret identity blues

Oh. Oh shit. She had never actually expected anyone to notice that Schatten had never even visited the bar. But also, it shouldn't be really something that came to once mind. Not every super-type visited this place. And honestly? it were mostly villains. Rex was an exception here.

And despite having her vigilante alias named towards her, Lilli stayed calm as she continued cleaning some glasses. Especially because he hadn't asked why she had never came here.

" Ah- Maybe she isn't... someone who like bar's? I honestly don't know to much about her... E-Except the usual rumors at least! "

She smiles a little sheepishly at Rex, as she speaks. But almost laughs as he asks if he was an easy target. That wasn't the reason why she bugged him. Besides, she bugged a lot of other people as well.

" I... I don't think you are an easy target... But uh... I mean I can't tell why she keeps bugging you... Uhm. Perhaps... she simply likes you? "

" No, no! I mean it! "

He was right though that he had gotten a good beating as well. But hey, worked out in the end for him, no? She also saw how he started to think about it in that light, and soon Rex spoke again. Acknowledging that he indeed put up a very good fight. That made the barkeeper smile a little more.

" I only saw it on TV, but yes! It seemed funny! I- I mean for you! They surely will feel that the next few days, haha. "

Lilli laughs lightly, as he snickered. Oh nice! She had apparently brought him in a better mood! That's good. Hopefully Rex can now enjoy the evening a better feeling.

" Oh- Uh! No need to thank me! Aha. Just- Just told what I was thinking about it! "

At least she was saying the truth. Her eyes fall on the food she had brought him a moment ago, and then back at the cosmic contender.

" Ah- But I'm keeping you from enjoying your food! Sorry uh- I hope you enjoy it! "

"Awww save it, will ya? They walloped me into next Sunday."

Rex looked fed up, like that was the end of it. But then he thought about it for a moment. He did at least put up a good fight before the end. Sipping his next drink. It seemed to help him relax.

"... But I guess you have a point: wasn't all bad. Got a few 'home run' strikes in, sent 'em flying. And I blasted this one guy so bad he was hollering about how he felt like a well-done steak. That was pretty funny."

There's a snicker from the cosmic contender. Lilli had succeeded, even though he was still a little gruff about earlier events.

"Thanks."

[ Little drunk vigilante // Accepting! ]

@outofthiisworld asked:

"Wait, have you been drinking???" <- From 🧪Doc!!!

" Mhmmmmm maybeeee~ "

She lilted, with her words slurred and while the vigilante laid on a parkbench. Schatten usually didn't drink while she was out as vigilante but... one drink happened... and then another. And now she was here. Staring at the nightsky... until Doc had approached her.

And after a moment she looked at him... Just to suddenly jump up. She did seemed a little wobbly on her feet, as she points at the man.

" OH IT'S YOUUUU!!! Zhe Doc-guy!!! "

At least she remembers him. Even in her drunken state.

" Hoooow are you doing, hmmm? Not-Not running into corpses today huh? Heh~ "

[schattenmagier]

@5mind asked:

 “You should have seen the other guy.” Antares doesn't actually require much patching up but he could use some cleaning up on his wounds.

" Hm. Not sure if I should! 'Cause zhat guy surely is dead! Stabbed, and bloody and all zhat! Except zhe guy escaped zhe big bad villain, and made it out alive~? "

Schatten jokes, as she cleaned his wounds. She would treat them but uh... it's not like as if she always got a medkit with her at any time. And Antares had just said it's fine if they are clean so... Perhaps he got some bandages or something with him.

It's surprising he even lets her so close! Not that she had planned to do anything, but still. Means he trusts her a little at least... Probably... Well... if that stinger tail wasn't currently pointed at her back...

" Also... You can put zhat tail down, you know? "
