After a long, long day of school, Fornax finally stepped out of the stuffy college room and into the cool night air. It was about TIME that old professor let them go! As much as he adored the lecture for mood lighting at DCU, it was certainly a long one! The moment he was out of sight of the other students and on his way back home, he powered up, deciding he would take the path through the park. If he was lucky, it'd be a peaceful night! And if not, well, atleast he was ready for it!
Despite having fought countless youma since he started being a senshi... He oddly hadn't really used his power much. He knew what it was, and knew how it work, sort of anyway, but never seemed to find a way to use it when his own fists were much more useful when it came to the youma he fought. Now that he thought about it, he had never even met a Negaverse Agent, having been far too stressed out to answer a call to fight a few months back...
What he really needed right now was a partner to spar with! Unfortunately, though he was a very friendly and warm young man, it seemed that actually keeping track of other senshi was hard to do. His own phone was entirely empty! How in the world was he supposed to find and help his allies if he didn't even know who they were?
Something must have been listening to his lamenting because not too long after that thought he felt an aura of another senshi nearby. It wasn't overwhelmingly strong, so hopefully it was just another newbie like he was. Kinda was. With a little bit of hope shining in his bright seagreen eyes, Fornax made his way towards the other, excited to maybe add a name to his otherwise empty phone.

YAY SPARRING!!
Themisto lay on his back atop the Cupcakery Bakery near the Destiny City University. The senshi had put his stupid wooden shoes aside and was busy stargazing, it appeared. During his time with Denebola, he'd been jettisoned into space, witnessed an ecosystem that Earth's sciences haven't proven exists and fought against a Negaverse agent and... won somehow.
Now he had other things on his mind, like what was Themisto? He'd looked it up on the internet and found out it was a moon of Jupiter but there wasn't much more information about it. Sure, it listed some size and diameter and whatever, but definitely no information on what lurked on the surface.
Siiiiiiigh
He'd heard Fornax before he saw the other senshi. Sitting up, Themisto greeted this new person he'd never seen before. "Oh, hey there dude! Nice outfit. You patrolling around here? I haven't found anything yet and the bakery's closed so there's no brownies for us. Sadness."

"Huh?" Fornax certainly hadn't expected to see someone up on the rooftop and after a moment of confusion, he smiled up, waving up to him.
"Oh! Hello up there! How's the view?" With a quick step, Fornax leaped up to the roof top where the other was at. Even if the place was pretty deserted at the time, he thought it would be best to resist speaking so loudly. You never knew just what could be nearby.
"That really is a shame isn't it? Especially since this place is certainly one of my favorites. Bakeries. I adore Bakeries. So much so that I think my planet was one." Taking just a moment to dust off his ever flour covered fuku, Fornax straightened himself up and held out a hand, which.... Was still covered in flower. Darn.
"I'm Sailor Fornax of Dough, a pleasure to meet you!"

Oh gosh I'm sorry! I thought Fornax was on the roof too MY BAD.
Upon Fornax's arrival, Themisto must've looked utterly dumbfounded. Loyalty, dragonflies, crazy Japanese water demons... and dough.
Like baking dough, not money.
Standing up and brushing himself off, Themisto extended a hand to shake Fornax's. Most everyone he met so far on this journey had been friendly with... one chocolate-colored exception. "Nice to meet you, Fornax. I'm Themisto, senshi of the lost. When you first said dough, I thought maybe you could hook me up with some cash but..." The boy gave his fellow a wink and a good laugh instead. "Maybe a turnover would be better?"
The mention of food then made his stomach growl loudly in response. "...seriously can your attack like... make turnovers or something because that would be the best thing ever."

For a moment Fornax looked confused too, but ended up smiling and pulling his hand away to tuck his loose strands of hair back behind his ear. And that just made the flour poof up a little bit where his hand touched... How troublesome!
"I wish that were the case! I'd be free of student loans AND wouldn't have to work!" The wink was responded to by a rather cheery laugh, and he shook his head.
"Can you just imagine how fat I'd get if that was what I could do? I'd make so many and eat them all, then I'd make more and sell them and STILL eat more! Sadly, that is not the case. And even worse, I don't think that's what my power is. Something about kneading but I've never had a chance to use it." Kneading had to do with dough, so it made sense... Right? "It doesn't LOOK like you're that lost. What does your power do?"

Fornax's laugh was a relief. "You'd be real popular though, Fornax. If you could just poof money, I bet everybody that knew about you would be out lookin' for you, all paparazzi style. You'd make it rain and people would go nuts." Themisto had to laugh at that himself. Coins would probably hurt people, but dollah dollah bills? Hell yeah.
"Can you imagine how fat we'd both get cuz hell yeah, hook me up with them turnovers!" Themisto decided it would be just the coolest thing ever in the history of ever if there was a senshi that simply produced food. They would be utterly invaluable during patrols, being able to just conjure up something to eat whenever needed. Despite the fact that Fornax said he couldn't do such a thing, Themisto still endeavored to find out if such a senshi actually existed.
The question about his own power had Themisto shrugging and shaking his head. "I make uhh... creepy ghosts show up and scare people, apparently. I got my a** kicked by one guy in heels, then scared another guy off... seems pretty hit and miss if you ask me. I think I need more practice." Not that he wanted to scare the bajeezus out of people unless they were Negaverse agents, but how else was he supposed to practice?

Fornax couldn't help but laugh again at the thought of making money just fall from his hands. He would be able to easily kiss those student loans goodbye!
"Make it rain, make it rain for SURE! But I think I'm happy how I am now. If It DOES turn out that I can make turnovers, or pancakes or SOMETHING sweet, I'll be sure to hit you up first so we can test them out." Fornax wasn't used to finding such amusement with another senshi while out on patrol. To be completely honest, he couldn't remember the last time he had even met a new senshi. It was fun, and so much more light hearted than fighting youma every single night.
The thought of encountering creepy ghosts as an attack made a bit of paranoia creep up Fornax's spine. All things considered, he wasn't a very brave man. Determined and confident, but not very brave. But practice made perfect, right?
"Well, how about we both practice our magic a little? We can play-fight, and practice our magic a little bit. If you wouldn't mind! And though I can't summon a pastry for you, I know of some places that will still be open for a few hours, so after we're all worked out and tired, we can stop by there, my treat! Whatcha say?" Personally Fornax would have gone to that bakery anyway after he felt himself all patrolled out. It was a nice way to unwind before heading into class in the morning.

For once, it was so nice to just hang out with another senshi and not overanalyze the war, wondering what horrific event might happen next. Themisto didn't have to stress about Denebola or Kari or even the Mauvian Ember. He could just be Themisto, hanging out with Fornax, both of them lamenting the fact that the Senshi of Dough had everything to do with baking and, sadly, nothing to do with monetary gain.
Student loans suck. Maybe someday they could put forth legislation to forgive senshi student debt.
The lost senshi sighed a bit, casting a worried glance at his partner. "Well sure, I could use some more practice but... I don't wanna scare the hell outta you. I mean, I ain't saying you would get scared..." Well, that conversation got all messed up. Themisto kicked himself internally. "What I mean is... I... don't wanna cause you to have to go to therapy or somethin' cuz I don't have that kinda money, you know?"
A nervous laugh escaped him and he sighed again, backing up to a respectable distance from Fornax. The very least he could do is give the dough senshi the first shot. "Hit me with your best turnover, dude!" That post-sparring sugar high sounded so good right now....

"Well... If you're worried about scaring me, then just be prepared to hold me while bawling my eyes out. Buuuut I don't scare too easily! I say as I remember being paranoid after watching Paranormal Activity for weeks. Ahahaha..." Anxo, as was true with ALL of his family, had a healthy respect for the dead and ghosts and curses. You never knew when there was the potential for something to come back and haunt your a** for all times. Nothing a little exorcism couldn't fix! "And don't worry too bad, my insurance is pretty good, all things considered. Won't cost you a dime!"
Anxo could tell he was still a little anxious about the whole thing, so he reached out and gave the other boy a grin, a thumbs up, and a shoulder squeeze.
"It'll be fine! But okay, I'll go first." After pulling away, he began to concentrate, hands coming out before him in a curled position, with his thumbs straight.
"Fornax Kneeding!" In a burst of soft, warm light, a ball of energy dough appeared floating before him. The delightful smell of freshly baked bread filled the immediate area, and Fornax grinned before rapidly hitting the dough over and over again before the dough vanished.
"How was that? Did it hurt?"
Lucifer Force
Sailor Scout Attack: Fornax Kneeding!
to bake bread is to kneed and Fornax needs to practice it more! He has decided your face is the best target, but by proxy of course! His fingers curl up and his thumbs go straight, and before them he summons a large wide of energy!dough. With the base of his palms, he delivers a series of 5-6 rapid kneeds to the dough, and as a result, the target feels the strikes at their body. (sneak!attack tactics!, target's owner can decided where those proxy!hits land!)
In those spots, it feels as if your skin and bones were being stretched and worked at (just like real dough), though no adverse affects are really done. (think of Avatar the last Airbender and Ty Lee's attacks).
This can be used 2 times per fight.

Themisto couldn't help but laugh when Fornax described his reaction to Paranormal Activity. "That movie was so effed up man, gave me the heebie jeebies for a week straight! Couldn't trust my own bedroom let alone the whole house."
He boy wasn't sure what to expect when the Senshi of Dough called his attack. Themisto braced himself for wads of unbaked dough to come flying at his face and was surprised when nothing happened. Instead, he saw Fornax create dough from thin air and start pounding on it. The kneading effect ended up moving his face around and Themisto didn't know how to react. "Ahh! Jeez what the--!!" He swatted at his face and felt his cheeks move of their own accord. "This is so WEIRD!!" he shouted.
Shake it off, Themisto. Your cheeks are still there.
He had to chuckle, rubbing his cheeks with the palm of his hand. "That's totally weird, dude. Didn't expect that. I bet your enemies don't either!" Themisto kept his distance and nodded to Fornax then. His turn.
"Okay... don't hate me, Fornax. Perditus Anima!"
Quote:
Sailor Scout Attack: Perditus Anima! Themisto calls out the name and a semi-transparent and semi-horrifying lost soul appears about ten feet behind the target and shoots toward them quickly. The soul looks like a distorted, disembodied and ghostly skull/ghostly upper body (basically something scary!) that makes very low, guttural moaning/wailing sounds. If it connects, the target feels great bouts of heartache and fear. They themselves feel lost or forgotten just like the souls Themisto conjures up. The attack is meant to be a distraction more than anything else.
• Single target (unless two people happen to be standing very close or are holding each other, in which case the attack is split between the two for half duration) • This attack can hit Themisto/allies/other people if the soul is dodged. • The attack lasts 20 seconds. • Themisto can use this attack twice per battle. • The attack can travel through solid matter, but since it dissipates after 10 feet, the solid matter has to be pretty thin for this to mean much of anything.

As the effects of his attack subsided, Fornax beamed at Themisto, glad it didn't hurt him terribly but also satisfied that his attack was effective enough to distract people. Maybe he was better being someone who didn't fight alone, not that he minded that at all.
"Hehe, well, your face still looks as handsome as it did before, so you're fine, buddy. I'll be sure to keep it in mind once I actually MEET an enemy to use it against." Once they settled down into a fit of chuckles and smiles, Fornax took a moment to actually steel himself for the next bit; an attack targeted at himself.
"I won't!" With that said, he let the terrifying shape of a ghost penetrated his poor figure.
In an instant, an overwhelming feeling of pain filled his chest, and he reached up, grasping at his heart. He could feel tears quickly well up in his eyes and spill over, causing a river to start down his cheeks. Despite his big talk, he was terrified right now, feeling as if he was left alone in the darkness on the pitch black sea.
And as soon as it came, it left, and Fornax was left shaking and gasping as he tried to fight back the fear that had so quickly overwhelmed him.
"T-themisto...?" Fornax murmured softly, turning his wet gaze to the boy who had cast the attack on him. "I-I'm okay right...? I-I'm here, I'm okay.."
He couldn't help but reach his arm out towards Themisto, this time seeking out comfort rather than giving it out.

Okay, he felt super, super bad about Fornax's mental state and rushed forward to hug the poor lad. "Dude, dude I am so sorry, are you okay? I mean if you gotta punch me to feel better man, go for it." He was clapping Fornax on the back, finding this interaction to be somewhat awkward and uncomfortable. But it was all his fault.
"Yeah, you're here. You're okay! Maybe that bakery run should be my treat..." Themisto took to dusting the other senshi off, something his sister would do when he was upset as a young boy. Perhaps something about being fussed over was what was so comforting about it.
Themisto tried to look into Fornax's face to make sure he was okay. "Buddy? You with me? You doing okay? Bakery time?" He wasn't sure what else to do!

The hug was surely appreciated as the last feelings of the attack eased out him and he took a moment to lean his head against his shoulder. After a few more sniffles and being fussed over, enough composure was regained for him to eek a little smile.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, why would I punch you?" Fornax smiled, his voice still soft and shaking. He was fine, he knew he was, and Themisto's gentle words certainly helped reinforced that thought too. Rubbing his face on his sleeve, he pulled away, forcing the last bad thoughts out of his head and smiling just a bit wider.
"That was one hell of an attack... How anyone can resist that, I have no idea! Whoever you fought against must really be tough to just endure that and manage to keep fighting.... But yeah, bakery time sounds good. And I still will pay. I did ask for it after all. Hehe.. I'm just not as tough as I thought I was."

le fin~?
It was surely a relief to see the attack's effects wearing off. There was no guilt when firing it at a Negaverse officer, but perhaps he shouldn't practice on the good guys. Seeing a fellow senshi in such a distressed state was almost too much for Themisto.
With a relieved sigh, he pulled away from Fornax but kept his hands on the other man's shoulders. "Yeah, it's... pretty rough, or so I hear. One lieutenant ran screaming and the other..." Themisto looked away and removed his hands, using one to run the back of his neck. "...he was this General, you know... his aura was just so... suffocating. It was crazy, I thought for sure I was gonna die or get corrupted but..." Obviously, Themisto survived, but he sincerely hoped never to run across the blonde General ever again.
He shook his head. "Anyway, I know I'm up for some tasty treats. Let's say we blow this joint." Themisto took the jump first, landing solidly on the ground below. From there, they could simply wander until something delicious caught their eye.

"It's a good attack, really. Imagine what you can do with it! You could save lives by distracting someone with it, for sure... I'm glad you came out safe. Hehe, if you didn't then I guess you wouldn't be here now, would you?" Fornax had never encountered someone that frighteningly strong, and he wasn't looking forward to that day either. Hopefully, when that day came, he wouldn't be alone and would have a friend like Themisto by his side. Though his attacks weren't weak, the Senshi of Dough just knew he would have to become stronger. There were more people out there like Themisto who needed to be protected! And he couldn't do that if he was easily scared or startled.
"Yeah.... Yeah, alright, let's go. We'll drown all the scaries away with some nice hot coffee drinks and the biggest cinnamon roll we can find. And it will be so delightful!" Finally feeling back to his normal, cheery self, Fornax followed Themisto's lead, hopping down from the roof with a more gentle touch and landing by his side.
"Some place MUST be open nearby, I just know it. Let's go!"

Sure, fin for me too! They should totally meet again! Go patrolling together! Feel free to HMU! <#
