Pretty basic concept here, sometimes teenage girls have magic powers for fighting evil (or doing evil if that's how they roll) and that's just how it is. Usually it's a secret but maybe it's not?? Maybe there are also ways to get magic that don't require you to be a girl.

Who knows, it's up to you, this is a loose-concept/AU meme! Just warn for your violence/existential horror/embarrassing teenage sexual tension in the subject lines.

1. First Transformation: Surprise, you've got magic powers! And they come with a costume that you… probably like? Maybe you don't, I don't know your life.

2. Into Battle: Possibly connected to that last prompt, oh dang, there’s some kind of monster or something. Whether you’re new at this or not, you might wanna fight that before it wreaks too much havoc.

3. Confrontation: Those monsters (or disasters, or brainwashed minions, or whatever) have to be coming from somewhere. Whether it's the first time or the fiftieth, it's time for the hero(es) to come face to face with their nemesis.

4. Prep Time: Teams, whether they're good or evil, tend to work better if they have some kind of a game plan. Or maybe you can't predict your opponent's next move so you're just doing some team-building exercises, who knows.

5. Hostage Situation: Someone's been captured! Maybe the villains have taken a heroic magical girl prisoner, maybe the good guys have siccessfully captured one of their opponents, or maybe you're just a bystander/non-magical ally/love interest who… may or may not know why you've been kidnapped. It's a little awkward, but maybe this could be a good chance to talk.

6. Slice of Life: Not even magical girls can fight all the time, alright - but there's always a risk of worlds colliding. Maybe you're getting some well-deserved downtime, trying to go on a date, or just going to school like a normal teen. And… well, time will tell if it stays normal.

7. The Secret Come Out: You probably hoped this day wouldn't come (unless you were actually kind of hoping it would, like a weirdo), but here it is. Someone's found out who you are. Is it worse if they're a loved one or just some rando, who knows!

8. Wildcard: I can't tell you how to live your life, do what you want!

"You're very welcome." And, despite the fact that she could just as easily go right about now, Joker can't help but edge close. It might be a little fun, just to see how far she can carry on this charade even for all that she knows things will inevitably come to blows. Probably when they see her hanging around with a Club or something a lot harder to make an excuse for than a simple Diamond.

Well, she might have to hang back a little bit in that case... or just get even better at lying.

"So, now what, then? Since we're on such good terms now and all! Plan on tuckin' in for the night and callin' it done?"

As soon as Ginko has the ear cuff tucked away, she looks to Joker again, which she... kind of regrets, given the sudden invasion of personal space. She takes a pointed step back before replying.

"Now, I'll be meeting back up with my team. Will you be taking that out of here?" She nods toward the peacock.

So Ginko would be fine with an invasion of space so long as she wasn't looking at it happening? Joker will file that away, thank you.

Right now, however, she glances back at the peacock, who's quite comfortably settled itself with a job well done. "I guess I could give a go at herdin' it," she says carelessly, as if she can't just tuck the thing away into a card and be done. Just not right now, where she'd be giving her hand away- ha!- in front of someone she knows won't be staying on particularly friendly terms with in the future.

And Ginko isn't even on friendly terms with her now.

Something else occurs to her, however, and Joker's smile begins to turn a tad devious as she looks over at Ginko from the corner of her eye. "But aren't ya curious?"

Ginko snorts, quiet and disbelieving, under her breath. Joker, she sure fucking hopes that you don't think she's buying this. At this point, it's gonna take more than some CASUAL DISMISSAL to convince her that you're on her side, dammit.

"About what?"

Hey, she gave her a magical item, that should count for something!

...Which will probably immediately be wasted as she grins widely and goes, "Don't ya wanna touch my peacock?"

Ginko doesn't deserve this, or the giggles which rise up to cackling laughter right afterwards.

god

fucking

dammit.

Ginko's eye narrows, and she turns sharply to look around the room - and make sure that the exit is still there. "I'm going to meet up with my team, and we're going to come back here. This thing had better be gone by then."

Fortunately, the exit is still there. Unfortunately, so is Joker, and she follows after Ginko while half crumpled over and wiping tears of mirth from her eyes.

"Yeah, yeah- listen, don't be too upset! It was an easy joke, I couldn't just let it slip past me! I promise I make different ones, even some ya might like. Promise."

Ginko rolls her eye and walks slightly faster.

"Maybe you should learn not to grab at low-hanging fruit, then. Are you planning to follow me all the way to my team?"

That might get to be a problem, seeing as how she doesn't totally know where in the building they all are herself.

At least Joker is light on her feet. Unless Ginko starts outright bolting from her, well, she'll just hop and skip after her. This sort of thing is already pretty fun, and they haven't even gotten to the good stuff yet.

"Who knows!" she says cheerfully, although the answer is 'probably not'. She really should put that Diamond away now, after all... Well, as long as it doesn't run off, which it shouldn't. Yet as long as it's out, then the building will stay in this shape. How much does she want to mess with this girl... "Would ya give me a kind introduction if I did go along with ya?"

"I wouldn't count on it if I were you."

She steps back into the... elevator lift thing and shoots Joker a look. "So far, by my count, you've done me one favor, and we've made one trade... while acting incredibly suspicious the whole time. On top of that, you seem determined to make this as annoying as possible."

Draping along the doorway of the chain link gate as needlessly dramatically as possible, Joker bats her eyelashes at Ginko. "I'm tryin' ta be mysterious. I heard that's charmin', for some folks." You know, folks who aren't overly (rightly) cautious.

"Anyway, that's all a matter of taste, now, innit? Maybe ya just don't have a sense of fun about ya. What are yer hobbies? Hopefully it's not just wanderin' around in the dark, lookin' for monsters."

"I'd call it more shifty than mysterious."

She makes a face and quietly wills the elevator to move as fast as it can. "Maybe I don't. It's not really any of your business, either way." Ginko doesn't even like talking to her team about her (lack of) hobbies; telling this girl about that sounds like an absolute nightmare.

"Oh, come now, don't be like that!" Tilting her head down, she looks up at Ginko with her best attempt at puppy dog eyes. Granted, puppy dog eyes if the puppy in question loved to frequent drag shows and pride parades, but... puppy eyes. "We're practically friends now, ain't we? Or at the very least, reliable business partners, with a good exchange. But I can tell when I'm not wanted."

Pushing herself off of the fencing, she gives and exagerrated bow. "Then I imagine we'll see each other around a fair bit, Miss Ginko." Straightening up, she winks. "I'll look forward ta it."

And with that, she vanishes.

Ginko stares darkly at Joker. It's not quite a glower, but it gets pretty damn close, and it doesn't help that it's accompanied by absolute silence.

When Joker vanishes, Ginko's mouth twists and she mutters under her breath, "I won't."

The sooner she can find her team and confirm that thing is gone so they can all leave, the better.
