Welcome to Gaia! ::

As it happened: Sailor Eridanus was, in fact good to his word. Quite litteraly so, since he was wandering around the park as though he were taking a casual (if cautious of the law) stroll....

And he was wielding a flashlight.

...A big flashlight.


A flash light to which he had tapped a construction paper "Bat logo", which he alternately pointed at the ground, the sky, the trees... pretty much any surface on which he could reasonably cast the Bat Symbol.

Not only was this apparently a huge amount of fun, but he figured it would help out checking out the grounds of the park. Maybe he'd find the meteor... that would actually be kind of cool. His nieces and nephews would go NUTS if he brought home an 'Honest to goodness Meteor'. He hadn't been present for the unusual instance with the cards, or else he might have been even more cautious than he was of running into a policeman while wearing an Senshi uniform and a shoulder bag ((which for some reason was almost unrecognizable, brand wise, for the number of pen doodles on it...)) for the flashlight... or then again... it was Eridanus. He might have just really wanted to see this Card Trick in action and make incredibly bad Alice in Wonderland jokes.

As it was, he seemed to be humming the Batman theme under his breath intermittently.

Eridanus grinned like the Cheshire Cat as he spotted her, and thumbed off the flashlight with a small but audible click.

"You're right, it was hysterical." He teased, shoving the flashlight into the bag. "I wasn't sure you'd come." He admitted, and he hadn't been. Not as reluctant as she had been to partner up to begin with. "I wasn't too worried about it. How many Senshi have you seen with flashlights?" he offered out. "Normalcy is amazingly deceptive." He added with a wink. Or anyway he thought it might be. Walking instead of running and jumping, and using the flashlight, he figured most wouldn't take a close enough look in the dark to realize he wasn't dressed for a late night stroll. "Anyway I wasn't shooting for surprise I was waiting to see if you'd show up."

"You mean the meteorite?" He asked, with a slight chuckle, "And Hey, have you seen what bike riders wear these days? Clearly I am just wearing the latest trend in fitness wear." He joked, winking. "Mostly I figured people just wouldn't look too closely if I wasn't doing anything too crazy. Find anything interesting in your patrols?"

He shifted the bag on his shoulder to be more comfortable, glancing around to take a more serious inventory of their surroundings. "So far it's been pretty quiet around here, but maybe things were scared off in case the Dark Knight came swooping in."

This unusual relevation got a raise of the eyebrows out of Eridanus, who turned his full attention back to Corvus. "What was it like? And are they alright?" Had anyone been missing from the meeting? Astrea might or might not have noted if someone had been seriously hurt. Specifically he suspected she would go out of her way to point out how much they sucked, compared to... well whatever it was in her mind that DIDN'T suck. He wasn't sure such a thing existed really. "Want to check the area again, or do you think we should try and get ahold of some others before we do something like that?"

He wasn't honestly sure how tough the thing had been, or how it might react to his attacks, or hers, but it seemed to have alarmed the other Senshi, and given how tough he'd gotten the impression Corvus could be... ((She had to be really, since she couldn't use her magical attacks until attacked herself.))... the thought that something made her shudder made it pretty serious. And the fact that she described it as not seeming like a Negaverse agent or a youma... that made it bizzare and interesting.

Shouldn't something about it have been mentioned at the meeting? Or maybe Astrea didn't know about it. If she didn't... that wouldn't be good.

"Seen it? I own it; And Attack of the Trifids, and the Pod People movies, the old one and the remake..." Another one of his huge grins surfaced, before being engulphed by a more serious expression of consideration again, the situation, and perhaps Corvus, serving to anchor his behavior a little more on the side of respect and reality rather than the shining world in which it might be argued, he spent most of his time. "That sounds kind of like a Youma, but I haven't run into any exactly like that. Whatever it was, it seems like a wierd coincidence that it showed up after the meteorite."
Movie logic. If things fell from the sky, and then wierd monsters appeared... blame whatever fell from the sky. ...Which wouldn't be altogether insane since they were, themselves, Soldiers for the Moon Kingdom. "Definitely. Let's have a look. We can see if there's any more and weed-whack them."

"It turned into a CARD?" He asked, incredulously, blinking. "What the hell is this, Alice in Wonderland? No I've never seen one do that...I wonder if Astrea knows..." She'd either cough up a hairball in anger over the new twist... or do it anyway... on their shoes... for not knowing.

"I hope you're right too, but if any more have put down root it's better to find them now?" He suggested. "If nothing else it's a good night for a stroll. Cold, but still a good night."

"Good point, though if she knew about it it would have been nice if she'd mentioned it for a change, instead of doing her usual routine."
The look she'd shot Proxima had been so out of character he'd found himself wondering if she'd been slipped catnip, and he doubted any senshi in the room hadn't bristled slightly. Even he had, and he was hard to get angry. After all: after being repeatedly informed how much you sucked, what did one girl with thinly veiled hints that she wanted power have that they didn't?
"Lets see what we can figure out, then we can share that around with any other senshi we run into.
