Welcome to Gaia! ::

One particular super senshi was bounding across building rooftops like they meant nothing in the world. On her second night of patrolling, Kallichore liked to do several laps around a given perimeter. Not only did it exercise her muscles, but it kept her mind sharp. A change in venue every week meant it was more difficult for enemies to keep track of her movements (which they no doubt did) and allowed Kallichore to explore more areas of the city, branching further and further out from her home in small increments. Eventually, she would reach her limit on how far she could go without it becoming a danger, but she had not reached that limit yet.

Rounding a corner, the senshi of madness found herself scaling a rather old apartment building, brick and mortar staring out at her from and endless sea of stories. It was the best vantage point in the area. Kallichore found herself concentrating solely on scaling the building in a safe and efficient manner, not scanning to find other people in the area. She probably would have done better to scanned every once in a while, but the building needed her attention more. As soon as she reached the top, the senshi took a breather and sat down on the edge of the roof, legs dangling over the stone lip that acted as piping. A soft and sweet breeze had blown up the apartments, setting a slight smile to the senshi's lips.

Kallichore had done a brief scan, finding someone more powerful than she was approaching her position. It was a friendly target, but that's all she could make out. The senshi of madness savored the aromatic breeze before the eternal's voice could be heard. Female, but that's all she could make out. Turning to the side, Kallichore gave the newcomer a short and polite bow, her hands resting on her stomach. She didn't recognize this senshi, but her fuku was incredibly impressive. Especially those boots. The white wings must've been some sort of universal symbol, because Europa had them too. Did everyone get wings when they were powerful enough to be called Eternal?

"Good evening to you as well, miss...?" Without a name to put to this senshi, Kallichore strayed on the side of caution. She couldn't even begin to guess the other's sphere. By the look of her boots and gloves, Kallichore would have guess something having to do with the cold, but the rest of her fuku tore down that assumption. Who would go out into the cold wearing next to nothing? It didn't make any sense. "Is there something I can assist you with?"

Standing at her full attention, Kallichore took in the other girl's details now that she had a name and sphere to place with the face. Polaris and magnetism. Right, she could remember that, especially with those boots. The super senshi then went to work introducing herself. "I'm Super Sailor Kallichore, Senshi of Madness. It's a pleasure." she breathed, watching as Polaris didn't appear to have a very professional demeanor. She was much more friendly and nonchalant, something Kallichore couldn't seem to do for the life of her. Everything had to be quite formal unless she had some kind of connection with the other person.

"I don't mind company," responded the lower rank, nodding her head slightly. "I can't guarantee there will be much to do. Scans haven't yielded anyone but you and I so far. I'm new to this area, so I don't know all the lines of activity yet." What was she doing out here if there weren't any Negas to punch in the face? Kallichore didn't know. Perhaps it was the sense of adventure and the desire to improve herself. She wasn't really sure.

She tilted her head in Polaris' direction. "I have to ask - the wings. Is that a standard feature?"

It wasn't every day that someone asked what her attack actually did. Truth be told, most often the explanation came from the sheer act of hitting something with it, but Kallichore tapped her chin in thought. She had to come up with an explanation that made sense, especially since the attack's effect varied from target to target. She didn't know what they heard or saw each time she hit something with it. After a few moments, Kallichore sighed. "It makes people go insane." That was the easiest and most straightforward thing she could come up with. She ended the phrase with a shrug.

But the next piece of information she received was much more tantalizing than the fact that wings were part of being an eternal. It apparently was their signature, so to speak, aside from their increased power and energy trail. "Princess?" Kallichore blinked. Weren't they searching for a princess? If the princess was here all along, what was the point of the war? Why were they still fighting? "Who is the princess?"

Never mind that Polaris meant a single princess, not a specific Moon Princess, but Kallichore glossed over that part. As far as she was concerned, one could raise themselves to Eternal status and go no further. That's where Europa currently was, and now she knew a second - Polaris. They were very few and far between, but their energy was certainly unique enough to quantify them as a class all their own. Would she ever make it to that point? What all was necessary?

Kallichore was too fixated on the information about princesses, moon or otherwise, to even begin to comment about her own power. It was meaningless in the face of greater information. The super senshi stepped forward and crossed her arms, very intent on finding out what all she had missed in the time when she was ignorant to the real goings on of Destiny City. "So... we cannot find the moon princess, but we've found her daughter? Doesn't her daughter know where her mother is? And who have you seen glimpses of? Details. I'd like details."

She wasn't meaning to be rude or anything, but since being left without much of a direction, research was what the senshi of madness had turned to in times of need. Cold, hard facts. She craved them like water. The other prince and princesses Polaris mentioned were not familiar to her, and neither was the Zodiac senshi. What was that all about? "Apparently, I've missed quite a bit. I don't know any priestess or a Castor, and least of all any Zodiac senshi. You mean like Cancer and Aries and all that? That sort of Zodiac?"

If senshi could attain royal status, and more power on top of that, then why wasn't the Negaverse toppled by now? Clearly the senshi needed more power on their side if even royalty hasn't put a stop to the war. The biggest concern for her now was the moon princess' daughter. Now Kallichore had a mission bigger than herself for the first time in several months.

The super senshi was left in an information-induced stupor. Everything she had come to believe from Ares had been contradicted by everything Polaris had to say. Up until now, Kallichore couldn't find a shred of evidence to pinpoint the definitive existence of the moon princess, but this senshi... she said that not only was the moon princess (or some form thereof) able to speak to them, her daughter from the future was out and about as well. On top of that, there were princes and princesses wielding enormous power, and on top of that was a court of senshi entirely comprised of the Western Zodiac.

...why didn't anyone tell her this? And how did all these people fly under her radar? Was she really that blind? It took her several moments of almost-stuttering silence before Kallichore was about to configure any sort of answer. "But... then... why?" she asked, hands opening as if to plead with the eternal in front of her. "How... how did I not know?"

Kallichore wasn't around for the Halloween Ball. She was only recently awakened, but thought of herself as much more studious than this. Apparently, there were huge groups of very important people just running around undetected by newer senshi. Or maybe she was just ignorant. Kallichore felt simultaneously ashamed and embarrassed. "All this time, I was so thoroughly convinced she didn't exist. There was no evidence to prove otherwise. No calling card, no voice, no physical or magical traces... nothing."

She heard Polaris' invitation, but needed more proof. She had to know so she could tell Ares. The entire focus of the Blood Moon could be shifted if new evidence came to light, and Kallichore took it upon herself to be the messenger. "Polaris, where can I find this Chibimoon? Is she approachable? I have a great many questions for her..."

The picture in Polaris' phone was exactly what she was looking for - an image, some information, vital proof. This sealed the deal for her. Chibimoon really did exist, and she may have been the key to solving a lot of the problems their side of the war was faced with. If she was friendly and approachable, maybe Kallichore could finally ask some of the burning questions she's had locked away. While she was relatively convinced the Negaverse was the force behind destroying all the senshi knew and loved, Chibimoon may be able to say for sure. She would probably know the answers to the questions Kallichore may not know to ask.

She gave the phone back very gingerly, as in her mind, it was quite precious. "The right place at the right time, huh? Maybe I just have bad luck." she mused, turning around to pace. Polaris gave her a great deal to think about with this information, and Kallichore was kicking herself for not being awakened sooner. She felt like she made so many mistakes while being so ignorant. "What else has happened, Polaris? I only awakened a few months ago and already I feel like I've missed the boat on several important occasions." She wasn't about to declare that she was in the Blood Moon Court, not yet. Her membership with this new information had not changed, but she resolved to tell Ares or Birhan about it. Perhaps it could change the Blood Moon's focus.

"How long have you been awake?" she asked, stopping in her pacing to look at Polaris. She had to have been around for a while to reach eternal-hood. Europa as well, but the Jovian senshi didn't necessarily make any remarks that indicated how long she'd been awakened. "I hate to be ignorant. I feel that I've made a great deal of errors because I don't know about these past events... and do you know any of these Zodiac senshi personally? I think I'd like to speak with them."

Kallichore listened intently as Polaris explained everything that had happened. She was aware of the Destiny City sickness from the newspapers, though none of her family had suffered from it. There were attacks on schoolchildren she'd seen on television and some other peripheral events she'd known about through different media outlets. It was sobering to hear about all the major events that had taken place that she hadn't been a participant in. It all felt so fantastic - almost unbelievable, but given what Kallichore had been through already, she didn't doubt they all happened like Polaris had explained. A snow monster, dream wars, massive comas, aliens feeding an ancient tree. It was all so crazy, and it was all happening while the citizens of Destiny City were completely unaware.

Large scale meetings seemed quite beneficial. If there were large groups of senshi gathered together, they could present information to each other, talk about events that had happened, plan things. But for some reason, these meetings have ceased. Why stop something that had been so helpful? It didn't make any sense, unless something happened that prevented senshi from gathering en masse in the first place. "Two years..." the super senshi breathed, almost in awe of how much time two years actually represented. Kallichore almost felt ashamed, but had to correct herself. She didn't determine when she awoke. It was all out of her hands.

"I have to thank you for all the information, Polaris." She had so much to filter through in her head, knowing there was so much backdrop to a war she just recently joined. "Do you think... in your opinion, have we made any progress in the past two years? Have things changed enough, or are we still at a stalemate?"
