Yeah. Reigning in the powers is my main problem.

There was just a frustrated cry at first that whithered as she said something. She stop thrusting, taking a few moments as the thrusters changed back into solar panels without her saying anything. "A person unworthy of arrest wouldn't admit to having a secret lair and a warehouse full of stolen goods, too, so not sure what your game is," Spark responded. Though she didn't make a strong effort to boost over at her or act hostile.

In reality the suit needed to restore some energy, rapid transformation while not synchronized with the suit AI was a taxing endeavor. Not that Himiko might recognize it as more than a three eyed robotic or a knight of some kind. There was more chittering together.

"If you believe yourself innocent, present yourself in the light and plead your case. I'll investigate the goods here," Spark stated. In a way that sounded like she was reading from cue cards.

I know that problem well. Sillypowers. Flower power might be more suitable for me!

[fluffytails]

"To be precise..." Himiko started, absent-mindedly stroking one of her tails. "We likely have a kind of misunderstanding."

"It is not, strictly speaking, my lair, as noted before. I'm just inspecting it, after the original owner was made to leave. As for the crates, I was checking if their contents fit some heists I was looking into, but alas, they did not."

Which was the only reason her bags were empty.

"And let's be frank, do I truly appear to be that kind of villain? Surely, you notice that I am anything but!"

Of course, there was the whole darkness shtick she had, but that could be prejudice!

[electricalcurrent]

"So you're stealing from someone else's stuff. That just sounds like 'because I'm evil' level of evils," Spark stated, her voice very much back to itself. "I am new to this world, so your appearance as good or evil? I don't know. All I know is that you're stealing stuff and have darkness powers."

[fluffytails]

"Stealing? I'm retrieving the villain's goods, to return them to their rightful owner."

She smiled happily. It was true, since the rightful owner was, of course, Himiko herself. Obviously.

"You could argue that this would be stealing from a thief, but I don't think they'd have the right to complain. Why, I'd think they would never count as the owner to begin with!"

...


"As for darkness, consider it thus: Does the world not need the night? Have it day, the entire day, then all would wither and die in the relentless, merciless light. Without a bit of darkness, the world would be a much less pleasant place~"


While she talked with confidence, the voice shtick of the heroic interloper really made her wonder. What was up with that?

[electricalcurrent]

"Right, so why aren't you getting the cops to do that instead of just doing it yourself?" She tapped her head some, her voice not nearly as chirpy as a few moments ago. She did at least look over at her as she stated that.

"Darkness is absence of energy. What you speak of as the night is not darkness, merely the reduction in received energy. The void, the Abyss... that is the spawn of the anti-thesis of everything," The way she said that... like she was talking about the devil or something.

[fluffytails]

Himiko had the perfect answer for that one.

"Oh, I could have gotten the cops, and I likely would have - after the inspection. After all, as you witnessed, I am an expert when it comes to darkness. It's child's play to find curses, all sort of which may be on these relics!"

She tried a reassuring smile, fangs or not.

"As you say, darkness can be the antithesis of everything. Or, like me, it can just be hungry of being filled. My kind of darkness is the one that makes me bathe in the sun quite a bit. Not all that threatening, no?"

Such a nice, harmless fox!

[electricalcurrent]

"Well, if you're so sure of your innocence, it shouldn't matter if the cops are involved, should it? Extra time or no." she stated plainly. She just couldn't shake the wrongness here, even if her words were hardly threatening.
