Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was kind of odd, but Megrez was actually feeling pretty good recently. Perhaps it was going to sleep with her Songstone playing (her parents had wondered what it was, but since she seemed to be sleeping better with it on, they didn't mind so much), but right now she was almost feeling sprightly. There was a certain spring to her step as she wandered in and out of alleys in Destiny City tonight.

While passing by a side street, she felt the tickling of a small Order aura coming from somewhere near an alley. A basic senshi was out and about, a basic senshi that could almost certainly benefit from patrolling with a more powerful senshi. Peeking into the alley, she called out to whoever might have been in there. "Hel-looooo? Come on out! I know you're around here somewhere! Don't be shy!" She couldn't see very far into the alley, so perhaps the senshi was on the roofs nearby instead of in the alley... well, she would find out soon enough.

Something seemed to be wrong with the timid senshi that appeared at the entrance to the alleyway, what with the way she was clutching her chest. Had she been hurt? "You didn't feel my aura?" Megrez said, wondering how an Eternal's big aura could be missed so easily. She approached the other senshi, one hand held out for a handshake. "I'm Megrez, Senshi of Eggs. Who are you? And did something happen?" It might have been a private matter, but she figured that it couldn't hurt to ask.

That certainly didn't sound like good news. "Who beat you up? And was that the same person who put you in the dumpster?" Megrez put her other hand on top of Warhol's, making a hand capsule. It was intended as a comforting gesture. "It's not fine that someone beat you up, even if nothing got broken. If it weren't for the fact that you definitely need to recover, I'd tell you to guess where that person ran off to so we could give them what-for." She cast a look towards the exit of the alley. "Maybe we should get out of here, in case they come back to finish the job."

"If you say so," Megrez said, noticing that Warhol seemed to be doing something strange with her hands. The fact that it was Sign language passed her over, and she just attributed it to nerves. She knew full well that this poor girl wasn't fine. "If you're okay with revealing your civilian identity to me, sure, power down. At the very least, it'll take away your aura, and if someone comes to make trouble, I'll protect you." She clasped her hands behind her back and waited patiently for Warhol to power down and had thoughts of doing so herself when the coast was clear. Maybe she could take Warhol somewhere nice to help her shake off the cold (though "somewhere nice" meant one of the diners she went to every so often).

"Nice to meet you too, Ivy," Megrez said, putting a hand on Ivy's shoulder. "It's fine! You're not bothering me at all. New senshi need protection, and it's unfortunate that not many of you get it." She remembered patrolling on her own and having a run-in with General Mica. If Gunn hadn't swooped in, she would be another notch on that spear to be sure. She took a few steps forward. "Stay behind me, okay? Though I guess you will have to give me directions if you want to go right home. Once we're in a better place, I'll power down too."

"Don't worry," Megrez said, and she removed her hand. Yeah, maybe a reassuring touch wasn't the best idea at this point. "Oh, yeah! I know where that is. Let's go, and I'll power down a few blocks out." She took a few more steps forward, looking over her shoulder and making sure that Ivy was following her. Once she heard footsteps, she would be sure that she could proceed.

Megrez proceeded through a few blocks without incident, then stopped in front of Ivy. "All right, I'm powering down. Try not to be too surprised, okay? Seeing someone change because of the glamour can be kind of confusing." With a little concentration, Megrez's fuku faded away, replaced by a Meadowview uniform of her own. "I'm Luca Krantz. I'm a senior at Meadowview," she said with a smile. "Let's get you home."
