She just couldn't get over it. She really couldn't. Being magical was well... magical. It bathed Destiny City in a whole new light for her. It gave her hope, trust, and comfort back. It was nothing short of amazing. Plus being able to move faster and clear over a story was pretty freaking sweet as well. Sedna had been testing the limits of this new strength for quite some time after dinner. She leaped from roof top to roof top like she was skipping stones, grabbed fire escapes and pulled herself up from a good distance, pushed and pulled objects around she normally wouldn't have been able to do otherwise--- So cool. Sedna cleared another gap from a nearby building, near the university district, and took to a kneel on the building's corner. She peered down at the people below, the students and city dwellers who were meandering out and about after dinner time. It was just...yeah. Amazing. She was so caught up in the thrall of it, she had failed to recognize another signature around...

Alhambra sat on a rooftop not far from the university district, holding the mysterious wind chime out in front of him, oblivious to the people on the streets below him. The chime sounded musically on the gentle breeze, singing to something in his soul. He'd practiced powering up and powering down back in his apartment ever since he and Anxo had defeated the giant squid in the municipal pool, willing the wind chime in and out of existence before him. Now he was playing with some of the other things he could apparently do, like leap to the rooftops and run faster. It was pretty cool, but he still didn't understand what it all meant. He knew the name Alhambra meant something too, something deeper than just him. And he'd somehow instinctively known that he was called Alhambra when he held the wind chime and wore the strange outfit. But he didn't know how he knew. It was all so confusing. As he contemplated the position he now found himself in, he felt something, a weird sensation that wasn't altogether unpleasant, like a friendly tickling at the back of his mind. Climbing to his feet, he looked around for whatever might have been causing it -- because he was certain it had come from an outside source, from someone else here on the rooftops. Finally he spotted what appeared to be a tall woman leaping between buildings. She too was wearing a strange outfit and doing some of the same things he suddenly found himself able to do. Maybe she could answer some of his questions! Leaping easily from his perch, Alhambra headed for her. "Hey!" he called out. "Hello!"

"Eh!?" Sedna started, black eyes going wide as her head shot up to see who was calling out to her. She blinked as a larger framed man was heading towards her---it was then it became very obviously of the pull she was feeling in the back of her mind. Oh! That's right! The ability to detect others who were powered--- and for them to detect her as well. Gosh. This was really going to take some getting used to. "H-hey!" She greeted back, pushing herself to a stand, relieved that this aura was friendly at least. Whew. She really needed to pay attention...after all, what if it was not a friendly one!? As he drew closer---woooooooah look at those arms. So sculpted, so nice--- Hot guys everywhere, even powered up--- The senshi raised a hand in greeting, and offered him a wide grin. "You're the first other---uh---yanno, magical person I've run into since I became magical as well!" Her grin turned a bit sheepish, and once he was close enough, her raised hand was thrust out to him. "I'm Sedna!" Having an alter-ego was still....taking some getting used to. A whole different name and title. "Senshi of Ships!"

Magical person? Alhambra supposed there must have been some kind of magic involved in all of this, because he sure couldn't figure out what else it could be. He just didn't know what kind of magical person he'd become. And it didn't sound like this Sedna girl knew either, if he was the first she'd met. Still, it was good to know he wasn't the only one who was new at this. He landed on the same rooftop as the tall girl and greeted her with a big, friendly smile. "Hi, I'm Bre- Alhambra." As soon as he uttered the name aloud, he decided it felt right. But title? What was he? "I'm… a Page. Of Uranus." The knowledge came unbidden to his mind. He was a Page of Uranus. But what did that mean? And what was a senshi? He still had more questions than answers. Taking her offered hand in his, he gave her a warm handshake, already feeling more at ease. She was cute, too, and she seemed really friendly and nice. "You're new at all this too, huh?"

Maaan everyone had such cool names, too! Sedna's grin widened, and her expression turned fox eyed. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Alhambra! Stellar name---and oh! You're the first page of Uranus I've met!" She shook his hand firmly and energetically, and opened her eyes to take another look at his attire. She had seen a handful of knights now, and everyone had such different costumes! "Yeah! Well---" Sedna released his hand, only so that she could emphatically motion with hers as she talked. "New at being magical, yeah? I've known about the magical people though for a few months now!" She felt safe telling him this, because he was on her side. One of the...good guys? Yeah! She still believe in the power of information--- To the right people. "It's great!" She gushed, her hands clenching into fists. "To be able to do something about all those chaos guys out there now, yanno?"

Chaos guys? Alhambra had no idea what Sedna was talking about. "I'm really new at this," he confessed with a grin. "I've never met any other magical people, like at all. Never even known they exist." Sure, he'd seen things on tv about monsters and terrorists and whatnot, but he didn't think that had anything to do with what he was going through. Although… there was that squid monster in the pool the other day that he and Anxo had killed, turning it into a cloud of dust. Was that thing magical too? Must have been -- giant squids don't vanish in a cloud of dust when they die, as a rule. He looked down at her hands, balled into fists as they were. Did that mean they beat up whatever these Chaos guys were? Was the squid Chaos? Did that make him and Sedna Order? So many questions, and every time he got an answer there were just more questions. "Maybe you can help me figure out what's going on," he said hopefully. Even a little bit of information was more than he had right now.

Sedna's eyes widened in surprise as she gasped. "Oh!" Oh. "Like brand spanking new!" She grinned, delighted at the prospect that maybe she could inform and enlighten her new comrade. "I'D LOVE TO!" The senshi cried, and clapped her hands excitedly. "I ship people times information! So hard!" She gave him a fox eyed grin, and then went back to the roof's edge she had been kneeling on before. Sedna flopped onto her bottom, and crossed her legs. She then turned back, and patted the spot beside her on the roof top. "I don't have all the answers, yeah? But I promise I'll try to answer to the best of my ability!" Frieeeeeeend.

The relief and delight were evident on Alhambra's face. Finally someone who might be able to give him some of the answers he craved! "Yeah, it's only been a couple days," he grinned. "I was at the pool, and this monster came out of the deep end and tried to kill this other guy, and all of a sudden this-" he held up his wind chime, "appeared in front of me, and bam I was this Alhambra guy!" He crossed the roof and sat down where Sedna had indicated, dangling his legs over the side of the building. "Hey, I'll take any answers at this point. I'm so confused. Like okay, I guess if I'm a magical person, that's why I can jump and run better than normal, right? But you said you're a senshi, and I'm a page I guess, whatever that is. Does that mean we're from two different groups? A page is like a knight thing, right?" As soon as he said it, another feeling of rightness washed over him, and he nodded. "Yeah, that must be it. I'm a knight. Wow," he laughed, shaking his head. "That's soooo cool." Looking up at her, he gave her a sheepish grin. "Sorry I'm kind of babbling," he apologized.

Sedna was incredibly fascinated with his story---after all, senshi and knights were apparently different---and she had forgotten to ask Bimini how one became a knight exactly. So to hear Alhambra's story was shedding some light, a bit, on the situation. "Ah!" Black eyes darted to his wind chime. "A monster, huh? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say what you probably encountered was a youma---they're monsters. They're apparently created by the Negaverse and set loose--they attack people on sight pretty much---um---fatally at that." She grimaced a bit. "Right!" She grinned at him. "That's what I thought too! It's so cool to be able to jump over a story! Plus it's easier to push and pull stuff around---plus I think we're faster---" Sedna nodded her head enthusiastically, already high energy and just feeding off of Alhambra's own energy. "I would assume so! I have a friend, a knight, too, who explained it to me! Knights apparently draw their powers from wonders---but---wonders on certain planets or celestial bodies...so apparently there are a lot of knights from the same space bodies, but each with a different wonder! Senshi---um---" Sedna's brows furrowed a bit. "...I'm not sure where they gather their power exactly...but I met a Princess senshi not too long ago...and..." She pointed at his wind chime. "I don't have an object like that---but I do have a pen, which allows me to transform! It disappears when I'm powered up though---OH, pfffft---" Senda waved her hand at him dismissively, and gave him a fox eyed grin. "Don't apologize! You're not babbling at all!"

Youma? That was a funny name for monsters. Alhambra wondered what language that was. "Why would the Negaverse do something like that? We have to stop them." He was a knight, after all, and knights protected and defended people. He was pretty sure senshi did the same thing, since Sedna was talking about the Negaverse like they were the bad guys. Which they were, if they were the ones responsible for monsters -- no, youma, he had to remember -- like the one he'd destroyed in the pool. But on to fun things! "Yeah! We're definitely faster -- I was playing with it before, and wow! I also know we're stronger--" and he flexed his arms with a huge grin. Then she mentioned wonders. "So that means I have a wonder too? Wow, cool! I would guess it's on Uranus since I'm a page of Uranus, right? I wonder -- haha, wonder -- I wonder how I get there. I bet it has to do with magic. Guess I'll figure it out at some point, huh?" Though there was a little nagging phrase in the back of his mind… He'd have to experiment later, when he was back home in his apartment. "Yeah," he held up the wind chime, which sounded from the movement. "This only appears when I power up. Or like when I want to power up. And like when I want to power down I… dismiss it I guess. Make it disappear. It's really kind of cool." Alhambra grinned back at the fox-eyed senshi. "Ahahah, this is just so new and kind of exciting and cool, I really feel like I'm babbling. Thanks for putting up with me! And thanks for explaining some of this stuff -- I never would have figured it out on my own." He nodded as he spoke. "I really need to find other knights, though. I mean, you're super helpful, and I'm super grateful for that, but I'm sure there's going to be stuff come up that only another knight could answer." Then he slammed his hand on the rooftop with a grin. "But I can do that later. I want to play now!"

It was here that Sedna could only offer him deep shrug. "I have no idea---and haven't gotten any good answers yet, honestly. They gather energy, steel starseeds---" Here she pointed at his chest. "That's your soul. Ever heard about a lot of people going into comas? That's because their starseeds get yanked...and I think the Negaverse is also trying to recruit---they're like a twisted military." The senshi grimaced a bit. "They kidnapped some civilians not too long ago and held them hostage at a carnival---join or die." She'd know. She'd been one of those who were kidnapped. But Alhambra was pointing out all the reasons why it made being powered awesome and that she could do something about it now. She grinned as he flexed (secretly appreciating it okay she couldn't help herself). "Yeah! Your name comes from your wonder! So, somewhere on Uranus, is a wonder named Alhambra!" She laughed at the wonder joke, because she appreciated corny things like that. "Oh!" Her eyes went wide. "OH! Yeah! You can travel into space---" She leaned closer towards him. "My knight friend---he's going to take me into space with him to go see his wonder sometime! Apparently you can just travel into space without any special equipment!" She paused. "I have no idea how to do it on your own though---Hrm. Can senshi go into space...?" This she was asking more to herself, as she rubbed her chin. She'd have to ask Nicodemus---or Polaris...or Oberon! Ahhh---she needed to find one of them soon! Regardless, Sedna nodded her head energetically. "Yeah! That's okay, guy! I understand completely! It's best you ask more from a knight who's been around the block a few times, yeah? I'll ask my knight friend if he has any information he can give you!" Yeah, she understood. Like how she needed to find a senior senshi who had been around for a while to bug with questions. Sedna snapped out of her thoughts as he slammed his hand, blinking before grinning. "What did you have in mind!?"
