This whole 'phenomenal cosmic powers' thing was still a whole new world of strange but so far it had been in a way a blast. He looked absolutely ******** fabulous in his new get-up and according to the kitty he had super powers. He hadn't bothered trying to figure what those were out yet, nothing had warranted it, but once he did he would find a way to rock those too. For now he was enjoying running across the rooftops in the city. So much better of a physical activity than golfing was (even if he liked golf some days). You could be -free- up here.

At least until someone caught him and tried to turn him into the police for being a 'terrorist' or whatever but he wasn't going to worry about that now. He'd worry about that when someone showed up and then he'd only worry if he couldn't just talk his way out of it.

He wasn't new to this, not in any sense of the word. Still, damn near every day something managed to pop up and surprise him. Destiny City was constantly changing, new fighters popping up on either side of the battle. There were days he wondered just -what- was going to pop up next. Once upon a time he had fought a Senshi of Tables of all things. Senshi brats sure were weird.

Today he found himself on the rooftops, a usual occurrence for the glowing captain. He was always filled with just a bit -too- much energy and on days where there wasn't much going on it was easy to expend some of that with a good run on the rooftops.

Scheelte, unfortunately, was still adjusting to his metal filled knee (he called it Metaltron, when he felt like it), and the limp that never seemed to want to go away. One wrong miscalculation was enough to leave him on the edge of the roof teetering and flailing for balance.

For a moment he thought he had caught himself.
He was wrong.

The blonde went tumbling off the rooftop and into a recently empty dumpster. Good news for him was it wasn't full of icky garbage to get all over his uniform. BAD news for him was it wasn't full of icky garbage to soften his fall. The captain yelped loudly then just took a moment to lay there and glare up at the rooftop he had fallen from. -********- that rooftop man. And ******** his knee AND the Senshi who had broken it.

As he was flying across the roofs he heard a scream and a rather loud crash. Skidding to a halt on the asphalt covered roof of what he figured was a restruant he shifted carefully and leaned over the edge. The last thing he wanted to do was go sliding off a roof and have to figure out how to catch himself mid fall. There was no way in hell he was going to end up on his a** in the god-knows-what smearing the alleys. He had expected to see a lump of snow or dirt or something. He hadn't expected to see some half glowing blond kid laying in a dumpster. Given that the kid was in a really weird outfit he could bet he was another of the 'terrorist' that was running around. Funny how there seemed to be so many of them and yet none of the authorities could arrest anyone for it.

"You okay sweetheart?" He smirked as he leaned a bit further over the edge. "Did't knock that pretty head around falling down there did'ja?"

Scheelite had moved on to cursing life itself and this damn dumpster when the word 'sweetheart' caught his attention. The hell? Who was calling him that? As the newcomer leaned further over the edge Scheelite spotted him and gave him a weird look.

...Sweetheart? Pretty head? What the ******** to himself in annoyance the blonde picked himself out off the floor of the dumpster (oh god something was STICKY, and he voiced this was a cry of "EW EW FRIGGIN EW") and moved to climb out of the dumpster itself.

"I'm fine..I've had worse. God this is gross though, ewww. Ughhh...!"

"...And who are you, exactly?"
Energy signature on the mental map read 'Senshi', lower level if he was feeling correctly. But this wasn't really someone he recognized, and Scheelite was just arrogant (or dimwitted) enough to feel he could take on anyone that came at him. So what was the harm in a few questions?

Completely ignoring that this could possibly be someone who could lay his a** out flat he vaulted off the roof and landed with a clang on top of a lower edge of the fire escape stairwell. "You know. If you're going to do something that leaves you all sticky i could suggest a few alternatives that don't involves rubbish bins?" His coat fluttered slightly behind him as he landed and tried to keep himself balanced. No way in hell was he falling off. Not now. Not when he'd look like an idiot in front of an audience.

"Quite a few suggestions actually ..." He tipped his head to the side looking for a moment like he was thinking about it.

Hearing the last question he put an arm across his chest and bowed, the spider brooch on his neck glinting in the light. "Sailor Arachne ... at your service"

"I could go swimming in a vat of jello. Or go eat a lot of candy on a hot day...or blow a HUGEEEEEEE bubble gum bubble and pop it. Yeah, there's lots of things that will get you sticky, but..I'm not sure why that matters."
The blonde....was a total blonde and seeming to miss the point. He was also currently trying to wipe some of the stuff off his uniform to no avail. Sigh.

"...Sailor Arachne huh? Captain Scheelite and...."
Here he paused, acid eyes fixed right on that brooch.
"DUDE there is a spider right THERE. There there there there THERE."

Oh yeah, giant fear of spiders? Schee had that. The captain was cringing, pointing desperately at Arachne's brooch that he thought was a real spider, and backing the hell away from him.

"KILL IT man, but don't you DARE flick it over here! Seriously! I mean it!!"
His voice was sounding more and more like a girl with each statement.

"... i totally was not talking about any sort of candy. That only works if you're into strippers and no thank you there's no telling where they've been." Blonds, really? He knew they weren't all that dumb but there had to be a few to make the stereotype fit he supposed. This one defenatly seemed to fit the bill. A little too into the neon to really be cute though.

"Kill what?" He looked down at his uniform and raised a brow slightly as his eyes fell on his jewelry. As he lifted his head back toward the Captain a smirk settled itself perfectly on his lips. He jumped down off of the fire escape and landed between Scheelite and the nearest exit of the alley. "What's a matter baby? Don't like spiders?"

Pushing his luck, and loving that the kid seemed terrified of him now, he took a few steps toward the Negaverse Captain. "They're kinda cute in a way you know."

"NO I don't like spiders!" That 'no' was closer to a shriek than a statement. With Arachne now in between him and the closest exit, Scheelite went scrambling in the opposite way. Sure, it was a further trip to get out of here, but it was at least away from Arachne and that thing.

"They are certainly NOT cute and KEEP IT AWAY FROM ME."
Really, by now he could have teleported away, or leapt up the walls, or ANYTHING. Scheelite was far too gone in panic mode to think the simple things out. That was the funny thing about phobias.

Oh this was too good to be true. It was -heaven-. The Captain was -terrified- of him for no reason. He just managed to keep himself from laughing in glee like a ten year old, only just, and kept advancing on the other. "Sure some of them are a little hairy but they're fun. I mean they don't widdle on the carpet or refuse to be petted until you dont want to pet then anymore. They're not loud ... in fact they're probably almost the prefect pet."

He paused for a moment before lunging for the cowering Captain intending to grab him in a hug -just- to see the look on his face with the spider jewelry so close. "Come on baby, screaming like that's only fun when you're in bed."

"I like my fish just fine thank you! Don't want a spider, no no no no NO."

Scheelite's eyes were wide and wild, looking everywhere to judge the best path to run the ******** away.

"They're TERRIBLE pets and HORRIBLE things and just STAY. AWAY. okay?! I won't hurt a civilian or anything just get the ******** away from me!"
He saw the lunge coming, he did his best to get away from it. But his foot slipped and he went falling again....only to be scooped up in a hug by the taller Senshi and find himself face to face with that spider brooch that he still totally thought was a real spider.

The alley soon found itself echoing a high pitched scream which ended in a sobbing wail.

"Damn you've got a good set of lungs." His ears rang slightly at how close Scheelite was to him and how damn -loud- that scream was. He'd never heard someone scream that loud before outside of horror movies and was pretty sure he didn't want to again. "You know, screaming like that is only going to get someone's attention and i -really- dont like the idea of spending the night in jail. I'm pretty sure i could get away with telling them i'm a vampire wanna-be and saying you're my b***h ... but still. No jail. My parents would kill me."

He wasn't about to let Scheelite go. Not if it was this easy to torment the kid.

What the hell kind of Senshi was worried about landing in jail?! ALL of them, Senshi and Negaversers, were quite good at avoiding the authorities! If this one was still worried about getting caught he had to be -really- new at this, which meant he should have been easy to beat.

Instead Scheelite let out another scream, voice cracking in the middle of this one and sending him back into his sobs a lot quicker than the first scream.

"Just let me GO dude" the blonde pleaded "I don't want to be hugged, I don't want SPIDERS NEAR ME, I don't want to know why you look like a vampire, I don't like the way you said the word 'b***h' JUST GET AWAY"

If only Apatite was here! She could talk the guy's ear off about vampires and Scheelite could run away and arm himself in the future with a giant can of Raid.

"You'd totally be somebody's b***h if you ended up in jail." He laughed, completely ignoring how the Captain was screaming about being let go. This was too much fun to let it end here. Even moreso because the Captain was kinda cute, he'd be more so if he lost the neon and stopped screaming but a gag could solve at least one of the problems.

"Now baby, you know if i let you go you're just going to come crawling back to me wanting more." He smirked before leaning down the couple inches so he was closer to the blond's ear. "Did you know female spiders are known to eat their mates once they're finished with them? Kinky huh?"

"WOULD NOT! I'm a Negaverse CAPTAIN, I'm strong! I could kill you!!" He tried his best at a weak punch, or a kick, or anything! He was strong! He could do this!

"AND THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL I'D COME CRAWLING BACK! GET AWAY, GET. AWAY."
His protests started out as screams once more, but over time just faded into choking sobs, voice cracking the whole way. He was going to lose it, with the way he was carrying on, but that'd solve one of Arachne's problems at least.

The information about the spider's mating habits just brought about another wail.
"I AM NOT DOING THAT WITH YOU---I have a-" Choke. Cough, Sob. "...a..love! Okay! I am not interested! Just go away!"

Yea. The kid could kill him around all the screaming and crying. He'd believe that one when it happened. So far all he was looking at now was one 'Captain' who was so terrified of spiders that he couldn't get himself under control. He was going to have to remember this trick if he ever ran into the blond again. He could even bring a dangly spider on a string. That would be -prefect-. One of Scheelite's halfhearted punches did land a pretty good one on his arm and he grunted slightly. Okay, maybe the kid wasn't -all- talk.

"Yea, i love you too baby but it's only our first meeting." He smirked and pressed a quick peck against the Captain's cheek before letting him go and hopping back a few steps.

A thought was slowly dawning on Scheelite. That spider he saw...why wasn't it crawling on him by now? Why wasn't it digging those fangs into his eye and making it explode with venom? Or any of the other nasty things he was just positive spiders could do? Acid eyes flickered for a moment, braving another glance at the so-called spider. That hadn't moved. Not even an inch.

.....

"THAT'S JUST JEWELRY ISN'T IT?! b*****d. LET GO!"
Then there was lips pressed to his cheek, and for a moment Scheelite was far too startled to move even after being let go. He just stood there, mouth gaping open and eyes staring right at Arachne.

"...I DON'T LOVE -YOU-, YOU a*****e."
Scheelite flung the easiest thing he could right at the Senshi's face, which just so happened to be one of his many glowsticks. 'Attack' given the blonde turned and started to bound up the wall to the rooftops. Screw this s**t man, he was -so- out of here!

The glowstick knocked him in the head and fell into his hands as he winced. "ouch..." Looking up at the fleeing captain he started to laugh. It had taken him that long to realize that the 'spider' was just a nice piece of jewelry? Really?

Letting his laughter ring out along the alley he leaned against the fire escape. "Don't lie to yourself baby!" He called out, not really caring if the Captain heard him or not. This would be a story to go down in the history books. And the start a beautiful friendship if he had anything to say about it, and he did.
