Welcome to Gaia! ::

His leg had mostly healed from his last youma encounter so he'd decided that rather than sitting around and waiting he would just go find one. The last few days had been frustrating enough and beating some stupid monster into dust would be nice. It would be dirty and probably hurt since he wasn't in good form, but nice.

At least the plan had been for it to be nice.

Unfortunately the universe seemed to be teaching him a lesson for shirking his duties for school and throwing up crazy things at him.

He'd found a youma and it wasn't even that strong of one but it wasn't exactly the first choice of things he'd have wanted to fight. He could deal with crabs and chickens but this?

This was ....

"Why did it have to be a spider" He groaned, pulling some webbing off of his arm while the youma hissed at him.

The spider hissed and spit out some gooey webbing again and he managed to dodge it but only barely. Couldn't it have just been a boring ugly youma? Not one that could do disgusting things too?

And a spider.

Hearing another voice he turned so he could keep an eye on the youma and see where the noise was coming from. The answer to that was a rather ruffly senshi who was heading his way. He didn't know if that would be a blessing or a curse, given her suggestion, but at least it meant someone to help.

"If I had something big enough to squish it with don't you think I would have? So unless you've got a can of hairspray tucked somewhere in those ruffles I'm going to have to settle for trying to light it on fire with a match."

Technically he had a little more than a match but sometimes it didn't feel like much more than that. He'd have preferred some big grand fireball to what he could do some days.

"Fire and hairspray create a rather large explosion." Arsinoe stared at the other Senshi wondering how someone with that many curls didn't know what you could do with a can of hairspray. That was not only basic science but something he was pretty sure everyone had seen in a movie somewhere.

Plus the curls, she had to own hairspray. There was no way all of that stayed there on it's own.

The other senshi at least wasn't as timid as some of the others he'd run into and he grinned as she attacked the spider. Seeing someone who wasn't afraid of getting their hands dirty and actually fighting youma was a good sign. There might be hope for them after all.

Watching the tornado he snagged his lantern and waited for just the right time. The tornado sent the spider back and when the youma landed it was on it's back flailing as it tried to right itself.

"Alright buggy. Lets see how you like this." Arsinoe lit one of the matches he carried and once the spider started struggling sent the small fireball off toward the creature.



The spider let out a piercing shriek as the fireball hit it square in the stomach. A moment later the youma exploded into a mass of dust leaving behind just the echoing sound of it's scream and a rather large ash streak on the road.

Arsinoe watched as the other Senshi started laughing then took off at high speed. Looking behind himself he saw the clock tower and wondered if that had something to do with it.

"Sailor Duhr huh..." He shook his head and ran a hand through his hair as he watched her disappear into the city. He wasn't exactly sure he wanted to run into her again but at least she enjoyed a good fight.

Why do I run into the weird ones?

Heading for a quieter spot he powered down and wondered if he should ask Cordy if she'd heard of Duhr.
