A hooded figure prowled the streets of a shadier part of town around twilight. Perhaps he was looking for trouble because despite his hood, the colorful accents contrasting his dark clothing made him stand out even in the dim remnants of light. There was no way he was making an effort to be inconspicuous.
This was unusual for Sailor Ptolemaeus because he was normally pretty cautious about sticking to the shadows and keeping an eye on his mirrorwraith to be sure neither he nor it were spotted by civilians. At the moment, though, he didn't appear all that keen on hiding.The way he saw things, others who were out and about during this in-between time that was neither day nor night were itching to come across something interesting and supernatural. Or maybe, like Ptolemy, they were simply looking for something to cure their boredom. Either way, the Dark Mirror Senshi would have been happy to comply.
Thanks in part to his interactions with other powered beings, he had started to question things like why it was the Dark Mirror Court seemed to need to steal energy to sustain their power. How come the White Moon Senshi didn't? What were they fighting for and why? So many seemed to feel they had some sort of past life...did he have one too? And if that was the case, why didn't he remember it?
Though Ptolemaeus liked to think of the Dark Mirror Court as neutral, its similarities to the Negaverse couldn't be ignored. They both stole energy from civilians and they both had chaotic energy signatures. Most people seemed to think that if something was chaotic, it was automatically 'bad' or 'evil' simply because it had no order. The teenager didn't agree with that. He felt there had to be an in-between somewhere; some balance between extreme order and extreme chaos just like twilight was in between day and night.
He had liked to think that the Dark Mirror Court was closer to the middle than anything else, but if the Negaverse had so much in common with them already, what else might they have had in common? His court was such a mystery that he wasn't even sure the older members knew.Kapoodles ((Sorry for the delay! If there's anything you'd like me to change, please let me know!))

After having dealt with s**t at home for the kabillionth time, Chara had had ENOUGH. Without a second though, he stormed out of his family's small apartment and headed straight towards one of his favorite prowling spots, taking only a quick moment to stop and power up out of sight/range of his home. He was so ******** DONE with his mother and her constant nagging. "Where were you last night? Why are you always coming back home messed up?! Think about your school life!" ******** it all! She didn't seem to get that there were more important things than going to school and doing well!
... Not that he still wasn't getting Straight A's. As much s**t as he gave his parents and the Negaverse, he wasn't about to fail.
Either way, he was still pissed as hell and NEEDED to punch the hell out of someone. And even if the Negaverse decided to keep the piece in that sketchy side of time, Chara was bound to run into some kinda of trouble. Some a*****e who needed to have their teeth knocked straight. Humans never stood a chance against the Senshi at their basic strength. But now he was a Super Senshi, and could REALLY wreck some s**t.
And that's when he felt it. That weird gross feeling that always ended up with something wicked at the end, and Chara just GRINNED. Without hesitation, he headed towards that source, trying to make sure he was in a position, high enough so that he could look down on whoever the a*****e was. Weirdly enough, as he got closer, the more the feeling that the Chaos gave off seemed odd. Still worth stomping out, but once he saw the source.. Well s**t, he looked nothing like the other Negasenshi he had met.
"Hey a*****e! Who the ******** are you?!" He cursed from his place up on the rooftop. Atleast up here he seemed a little intimidating. Maybe. Probably not.

Ptolemaeus looked up at the sound of the voice and, sure enough, its owner seemed to be addressing him. The hooded senshi smirked as he regarded the stranger, fancy outfit and all.
"Tsk tsk...that's a really foul mouth for someone who's supposed to be a 'good guy'," he teased, unable to help himself as he waved a finger at the White Moon senshi. "No manners at all. Why don't you come down here so we can properly get acquainted, angel?" He blew the other guy a kiss. "Not that the view from down here isn't fetching, but I prefer to get...up close and personal."
It was obvious to Ptolemy that this guy was looking for a fight, but he wondered if it was just because of their energy signatures being in opposition or something else. He felt he'd met a lot of hot-tempered guys lately, especially powered ones, but then again, he also seemed to have a bad habit of making people irritated or angry. This time, though, he'd just been walking around, so he was fairly certain this particular instance wasn't his fault.

"Foul mouthed? I'll show you foul mouthed, you ********!" Just as he was about to jump down and try to land an immediate kick to the face of whoever this ballsy guy was, he stopped, making a rather obvious 'what the ******** dude?' face.
"Holy s**t, you're creepy.." Chara muttered to himself, peering down. There was no way he was about to go down there! Who knows what kinda creeptastic trap was waiting for him. But luckily his attacks didn't need him to go down there. Instead, he summoned his chocolate kisses to his hand and gave his own pissed off grin to the man below.
"Up close and personal? Hah! How about you try some of this!" Almost giddy with the fact that he could aim from this height, Chara thew down his attack with as much force as his skinny little arm could give. Kitomyx Sailor Scout Attack: Chara Chocolate Kiss With the snap of his fingers Chara summons a handful of energy chocolate kisses ( 15 ior so) and uses them as projectiles he can throw at people. They make contact then pop, disappearing as soon as they touch something. It stings but nothing else happens. He has up to 30 seconds to use them or they vanish. Once they pop a scent of Chocolate fills the air. Always smells like chocolate. just a quirk though it does nothing but smell tasty. He can use this twice per battle.

"Jeezes, you're an angry little senshi, aren't you?" Ptolemaeus laughed. "And thank you. Usually I have to do a lot more to earn that sort of compliment," he sneered, referring to having been called creepy. His smirk disappeared, however, when he realized that the other male was tossing something his way. "Whoa, what the - ?! Wrong type of kisses!"
The Dark Mirror Senshi impulsively flung out his hand toward the oncoming projectiles. "Change of Subject!" he called, strands of bright blue light shooting from the mood rings he wore on all fingers. The strands intersected with each other as they flew toward the chocolate kisses, creating a luminous net as they went.
Too late did Ptolemaeus recall that his opponent was of a higher power level than him. The last time he'd tried such an attack on a super senshi, it had been completely useless. However, it was all he had in the way of magic for the time being, so he couldn't help relying on it regardless. Bracing himself for the enemy's hits, he watched his net sail toward the tiny but dangerous confections.Kapoodles ((Sorry for the delay! XP RL ate me up.
Regarding the full details of Ptolemaeus' attack, they're here, but basically if his attack was successful, his net would wrap around the kisses and then melt into bright blue pools of light that would envelop them completely before fading out.
'Change of Subject's' effect causes an attempted ally/enemy magic attack to continue without hindrance, but with its effects completely reversed. You, as the player of Chara, can interpret the reversal of the attack and how it affects her magic as you see fit!))

Chara had never seen a magic like that before. It straight up came out of the dudes fingertips (from what he could tell) and clung to his attack like it was going to manipulate it on his own.
As the kisses did come down and hit his enemy, the burning and popping that Chara was expecting did not come. In fact, the chocolate kisses would have felt like actual kisses on the Dark Mirror Senshi's skin, leaving him feeling warm and cozy, like drinking a mug of hot cocoa on a cold winters day. And, of course, the smell of sweet milk chocolate filled the air all around the man on the ground.
And Chara saw none of this. All he saw was that his attack hit, but nothing happened. No popping sounds, no yelps from the man below him or any indication that something actually hurt. He felt a rage build up in him, and raised his arms above his head, summoning his attack again. But it felt stronger this time, heavier, something he hadn't felt before and he gave a wicked grin to the man below.
"TRY BLOCKING THIS! CHARA CHOCOLATE LAVA DROPS!" Chara didn't know where those words came from but the same as before, he hurled them down at the man below, just feeling the heat of them in his hand. And with them barreling down on the man below, he too found himself diving towards the ground. His heel was just CALLING for that man to be under it!
Kitomyx Let's say the first defense was successful! There we go! Edited! Second one, not so much, since it's his super attack. Super Sailor Scout Attack: Chara Chocolate Lava Drops With the call of his attack Chara summons the same handfuls of chocolate as before but in larger quantity (20 or so), and now they melt upon impact. He still has 30 seconds to use them before they vanish and it can be used twice per battle. Chara's chocolate now maintains it's heat longer and sticks to a person's skin. It's hot and burns and can cause irritation, dryness and up to 1st degree burns now if it makes skin contact. The chocolate lasts for 5 seconds on the surface they touch, then vanish.

"...Huh. Sweet," Ptolemaeus murmured, pleasantly surprised by the altered effect of the kisses. The attack must not have been super senshi level after all. He couldn't always tell what his attack would do and occasionally it worsened the situation for him, but this time didn't seem that bad. The only thing he didn't appreciate about it was the scent of chocolate which he attempted to wave away, but there were worse results that could have occurred.
Looking back up at his opponent, however, he saw the guy wasn't taking the change to his attack very well. He wore a grin similar to the one Ptolemy usually wore, only this one seemed full of rage, malice, and contempt. Particularly when he started yelling louder than ever.
"Uh oh." Not foolish enough to try his magic against this attack, Ptolemaeus simply began to run. This time, though, there were more chocolate kisses than before and they were much more difficult to dodge. Some caught him on his back and a few on his arms and legs, slowing his speed as he hissed and gritted his teeth against their heat.
A couple on his arms and legs made contact with his skin, causing it to burn as they melted, unable to be flung off. The Dark Mirror Senshi had been so preoccupied trying to dodge the things and then trying to figure out what hit him and hurt him so that he didn't think to look up to see Chara coming down.Kapoodles ((Thank you! Sorry again for the confusion!))

Success! Chara had never used that attack before, but the effects were way better than his old dumb original attack. He could see the sizzling of the chocolate as it clung to the other user's skin, and he took immense pleasure in it. Who know that chocolate really could cause some damage!
Not that this weakling really was worth any more of his magic. Since Ptolemaeus was preoccupied with the chocolate on his skin, Chara had the opportunity to land nearly right on top of him, using a heel to knock him to the ground, holding him in place with a heel just inches away from his throat. Who was the tall one now?!
"Who the ******** are you? Give me ONE good reason why I don't stomp your throat in right now?!"
Kitomyx Chara has him pinned on the ground with a heal on his sternum, let me know if you'd rather me change it!

"Ack!" Ptolemaeus hit the ground hard, landing on his back as he nearly bit his tongue. He winced at the heel that was suddenly pressing against his sternum, wondering faintly if the senshi on top of him planned on dislocating a few of his ribs that way. That pain on top of the impact with the ground and the burns from the chocolate on his skin were making his head swim in agony so he could barely think, let alone try to retaliate.
He swallowed hard at the realization of the second heel hovering just above his neck and tried to take a deep breath to calm himself down. However, he was promptly and painfully reminded that this was much more difficult to do when there was a person standing on your chest.
"...Ptolemaeus," he managed to utter, his smile returning, though much more sheepish than before. "...Dark Mirror...Senshi of Change..." With a chuckle that ended up sounding hoarse due to the sudden dryness of his throat, he added, "...And you can, if you can promise me that'll make you feel better. I'd rather not die for nothing...you know?"
Another weak laugh escaped him, but he met Chara's mismatched eyes with a serious, sincere gaze. His breathing was uneven as he was still having trouble drawing air into his compressed lungs, but he forced out more words regardless. "You seem...more hurt than I am...at the moment."Kapoodles ((Lol, noo, that's perfectly fine, thanks! XD))

"Dark Mirror? What the hell is that? You have the same signature as those Negaverse Bastards, so just call yourself what you are!" The young senshi continued to glare down at the man on the ground, but he really wasn't about to kill the man under his boot. There was no reason to. Not yet.
And it was quite obvious that that with his foot where it was, the other was going to have a hard time answering his questions. He casually put his heel down on the other's stomach, grinning wickedly as he 'walked' down the man, removing his one foot from the other's chest onto the pavement below. With one foot still on him, Chara figured Ptolemaeus would have a better time talking, just not liable to escape just yet.
"Whether you die or not is your own fault!" The mention of his discolored eye caused his scowl to deepen and his foot press harder into the man's gut. "Yeah, well, it was you ******** Negaversers who did this to me! Give me ONE good reason why I shouldn't give YOU that same treatment!"

Upon hearing the word 'Negaverse', Ptolemaeus shook his head with some difficulty, grimacing at the pain it caused him from the effort. When the weight on his sternum shifted to his stomach, he grunted through his clenched teeth and shut his eyes tight before the weight shifted and lessened again.
Gasping deeply, he opened his eyes to see Chara had moved to put one of his feet on the pavement while one was still on his stomach. Just a slight change of balance and he could make things very uncomfortable for the older senshi once more.
"Huh?" Ptolemy's brows furrowed in confusion before he tensed again at the pressure on his gut. "I - I wasn't talking...about your eye..." he managed to utter, his teeth still very much clenched against the torment he was being made to endure. Still, he could breathe deeper now and he took another deep breath to try to clear his mind and keep his focus off his injuries.
"I'm not...Negaverse. The Dark Mirror Court...we're senshi too, like you. Not corrupt, either. We have chaotic energy signatures, but our chaos is different. We're not the same as the Negaverse."

Chara's patience was wearing quickly, and of course that meant it wouldn't get any easier for Ptolemaeus who was still in pain under his boot. For the hell of it this time, he ground his heel into the older senshi's gut, saying his next few words through gritted teeth.
"Not the Negaverse my a**. I've never heard such bullshit inmy life! So tell me, Mr. Dark Mirror Court Senshi, What the ******** is your purpose then? Draining energy, killing civilians? For what reason, just so 'save the world' or some bullshit? Tell me or DIE." He knew that he'd have to ease up on the other's stomach to get any answers so he did so, reluctantly, by shifting his weight to his other foot.

"Hnngh - !" The older teen made an involuntary noise at the back of his throat as Chara dug his heel into Ptolemy's gut, shutting his eyes tight. He didn't open them or unclench his jaw until he felt the pressure shift again slightly, but he wasn't under any illusion that it wouldn't return in the blink of an eye.
He took another moment to collect himself, trying to focus on his breathing. He didn't trust himself to speak until he was sure he could manage a moderately calm and steady voice. It would do no good to agitate his aggressor just now.
"We don't...kill," Ptolemaeus exhaled slowly. "The world isn't just black and white or good and evil. We are the in-between. Our motives are not so clear-cut as to be described in a single phrase like 'save the world'." He took another deep breath in case he would be denied another for a while. Then his brows furrowed as he locked gazes directly with Chara once again, seeming to search for something behind those eyes.
"You're supposed to be a 'good guy', right? But causing others pain or threatening their lives, no matter who's side they're on, isn't what typical 'good guys' do. In my experience, people generally want to hurt others to make themselves feel more powerful or because they're in pain themselves. And you don't seem like you have the reasoning of the former to me." All traces of amusement or humor were gone from his features, leaving him with a straight face. "So what is it that's hurting you so?"

We don't kill. Good. But it still wasn't enough to encourage Chara to move his foot.
"I don't need your psychoanalitic bullshit. You sound like you're wetter behind the ears than a fish!" Oh man, this guy. This guy just had NO idea what was going on with this world, did he? And maybe it was that lack of knowledge that fizzled out the flames of wrath and blood thirst in Chara.
"The world IS black and white when it comes to the Negaverse. Their version of 'save the world' is literally just 'kill the opposition to save the world'. They torture and maim and MURDER all those who oppose them, so excuse me for being suspicious as ******** when someone who feels like they do gets on my radar." If there was anything Ptolemaeus found behind Chara's eyes was anger. That's all he really could feel in regards to his Sworn enemies. Anyone who was willing to fight and hurt a kid half his own size, quaking in their boots just because they were going down a different path than their own could die, and he'd be MORE than willing to send them on their way.
"Call me an antihero then. I'll MORE than gladly take a life if it meant that these helpless fools who can't fight in this war can sleep safe at night. The world is ******** up enough without the Negaverse screwing it over more." On that note, he moved his foot, taking a few steps back to let the older man get up without the threat of his heel coming down on him again.

"Unh-uh," Ptolemy responded, attempting to shake his head again. "Not everyone in the Negaverse is the same. Just like not all the White Moon Senshi are the same. You can't just lump them all together and blame them collectively for anything their group has done."
His tone got more assertive. "It's just easier for you to hate them when you don't have to think about them individually. Maybe the ones that you've met - whoever messed up your eye - were like that, but you're of the Order alignment and you're acting more like your idea of the Negaverse than actual Negaverse people I've met myself."
He snorted again derisively before reaching up to grab Chara's frilly sash in an attempt to yank him down closer. "You're no kind of hero, anti or otherwise. You're just a bully. You're so blinded by your own pain that you refuse to try to see things from others' point of view. You drape yourself in your self-righteousness just so you can just pick fights to vent your own anger and agony in the name of what you call justice."
When the other senshi stepped away Ptolemaeus sat up - abruptly at first, but then he regretted it and slowed his movements to take it easy. "You say the world is ******** up enough without the Negaverse. So what did the world do to you that makes you say that?"
