A few weeks back in DC and Maggie was already feeling more than excited to get back to some senshi-business. She had been a mere duckling, nay, a chick, when last she has pranced across rooftops as the banal Senshi of Pestilence. But now? NOW? She was a SUPER Senshi. Like, the superest. She was feeling the mummy wrapping across her mouth -- no more transparent little veil -- and had more than once practiced swishing her skirt. Sure, she was like a mummy reboot skeleton or whatever, but it was edgy because she was the edgiest.

And it was with that joy in her heart that she was literally skipping across the rooftops in Chinatown, drinking in the smell of cooking soy sauce and working on her fitness, as Queen Fergie would say. With a deep breath, she broke into a run, catapulting through the air and landing on the next rooftop in a forward roll. "Newer senshier strength, LOVE it. This is EVERYTHING," she said out loud, to no one.

There was nothing quite like the smell of home, Bindhi thought as she gathered up a bag filled with the best chinese food money could buy. She'd already planned out her night. Get food, go home, call Angus, get ecstatic pupper kisses when Angus brought Sanskrit home... Sighing with content at the thought, the tall blonde began to make her way back to where she'd left her car.

Only to be distracted by a blur of motion across the rooftops. Blinking owlishly, Bindhi stared after the blur for a moment before speeding her own steps. She wanted out of the way of any possible witnesses. And only once she'd ducked into an alley and found a dark corner where no one could see her did she power up. And then she gave chase, bag of food still in hand. Clambering up the side of a building, Chariklo glanced around and heard the blue she'd seen talking.

Same voice. Same colors. Outfit had changed a little, but it was the same damn person. Gritting her teeth, the eternal senshi of seagulls took off after the other girl. And in the back of her mind, she cackled gleefully. This was the first time since she'd purified that she'd been offered up a chance at a round two. Let's see little miss chompy try to bite me now, she thought.

Auriga was twisting side to side, stretching out her hips, when she became dumbly aware of an aura sparking to life in her vicinity. But, oh, she had been out of commission as a senshi for a long couple years and didn't seem to focus on the particular flavor of the aura, and she was rusty. The sound of footsteps had reached her first.

The Senshi of Pestilence spun, hands up in pathetic looking karate chop action. "HALT!" she ordered, doing a little boxing two step. "For I am the SUPER Senshi of Pestilence, and in the name of Auriga, I WILL PUN-- hey wait a second!" Auriga skittered back a few feet, pulling her wrappings down off her mouth to unmuffle the sound.

"Do I know you?" Her guard was still up, but there was something about the hair -- very memorable hair -- and the tattoos -- very memorable tattoos -- that were nagging at the back of her head.

Definitely her. Though Chariklo had to be honest and admit that the upgraded outfit was fairly awesome. Especially the wrappings over the mouth. Anything that kept that chick from biting.

Then, just because the situation was so ridiculous, Chariklo started to laugh a little helplessly. The little two step the other girl did, the fact that Chariklo herself was armed with a bag piping hot chinese food. It was all too much.And even though she'd purified, apparently she was just memorable enough to scratch at the other's recollection.

"Well, I don't know about knowing me," she began, still chuckling heartily. "I mean, you never really gave me a chance for polite intros at the time. I gotta say though, you biting me and making me puke myself inside out in the middle of a damn mattress store remains one of the more memorable events of my early career."

Then, with a grin, Chariklo hefted her bag of food in one hand, shifting just enough to allow a full view of the very white wings on her a**.

"Wouldn't recommend you trying that sort of thing again, unless you want to get hit upside the head with some of the best ********' eggrolls in the city. So. how've you been?"

Auriga smiled triumphantly at the thought of the successful puke strike. "You were my first!" she announced, a bit too excitedly. Maybe there was some hand clapping. "I had never made someone puke before." The smile that spread across her face was nothing short of beaming, but when the smell of eggrolls hit her nose, her stomach grumbled loudly.

Still locked in a stand-off, the Senshi of Pestilence took a moment to feel out her opponent. She realized, way too belatedly, that something was... off. "You... feel different," she said, a bit stupidly.

Okay so she... wasn't the most tactful. And Chariklo was somewhat at a loss in the face of the other girl's beaming.

"Um. Yes. Glad I could help provide a learning experience for you. Next time though, maybe save that s**t for someone that's actually doing something and not just trying to say hi. Just a thought."

Eyebrows raising slightly at the loud stomach growl, Chariklo thought quickly and sighed. Well, she could always get more food once she was done here. Time to start building some bridges.

Finding a spot that didn't look too horrifying, she sat and tucked her legs under before opening the bag and pulling out the cartons of food. Finding the one with the eggrolls, she took out a couple for herself and then tossed the container at the other girl.

"Sit. Eat," she ordered in her best Mom voice. Then she tore a bite out of her own eggroll and used the food as a way to hide her own confusion. She 'felt different'? Was the whole... pale colored uniform not hint enough? Was it possible that this chick had never met someone who'd swapped one side for the other? If that was the case, then ho-lee-s**t.

"So, since you never really let me introduce myself before, 'm Chariklo. And I am different. I'm not a Dark Mirror anymore. I, uh, purified, y'know?"

Did Dark Mirror Senshi just say hi? Auriga doubted it, though it would be cool. Less people trying to hurt her, more friends to make and convince she was awesome. When Chariklo first offered the food, Auriga was certain it must be a trick, but her next words were a balm.

"Oh thank god," she said, dropping her hands and hopping to sit next to Chariklo immediately. "I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm like a boy scout -- always prepared -- but I haven't even been back in town two weeks and didn't much feel like having to unleash a can of whoop-a** while I'm still getting my senshi-legs back." Because obviously that is what would have happened. Obviously.

She grabbed an egg roll and munched happily, opening her mouth to talk with food still sloshing around. "Okay, cool, so you're, like, Team Good again, that's awesome. Welcome back! And wow, purification, what's that like? How did that happen?" Tact, Auriga did not have it. But she looooooved knowing things, and knowing what purification felt like definitely seemed tres cool.

Averting her eyes slightly from the whole talking-with-mouth-full thing, Chariklo ate her own food and laughed silently at the assumption that she'd be the one to go down in a fight. Though, if she got bitten again. Nope, she wasn't going to think about it. Still, it was going to be hard to keep the Of course, sweetie. Bless your heart tone absent from her voice.

Therefore, it was something of a blessing to be asked for pure information. Nibbling at her eggroll for a few moments, she decided that the best approach here was drily factual.

"Well, for one, I wasn't a senshi before I was in the Dark Mirror Court. Ares brought me into the fold. And the Court isn't bad per se," she struggled for a moment, not entirely sure how to articulate her thoughts. "I guess let's just leave it as differing ideaologies."

Pausing for a moment to sweep white-blonde hair from her eyes, Chariklo smirked a tiny bit at her new friend's curiosity. And maybe this would be good to explain to someone who had absolutely no horses in the race. She'd had more than enough of folks from both sides dissecting the type of person she was because she'd come to find Chaos unbearable.

"It's... hard to explain. I mean, I was half dead from exhaustion when I did it, y'know? But I remember it was painful and exhilarating and exhausting all at once. And for the how," here Chariklo began to laugh softly, eyes twinkling as she eagerly awaited whatever reaction her words would bring. "A cat-lady reached into my chest and ah... extracted some mirror-y stuff from my starseed. It was weird."

And now it was her turn to ask some questions.

"So you've been out of town too, huh? I just got back into town today, myself."

Auriga paused her chewing, drinking in the information. "Fascinating," she said and began chewing once more. "The cat I met wore an adorable tiny little hat." It added nothing to the conversation, but the Senshi of Pestilence squished her fingers together to emphasize just how small. But it was easier to say that than what she thought: a Chaos aura was a Chaos aura was a Chaos aura. Nazis thought it was just differing ideologies too.

For once, she didn't say that out loud. Maybe because of all the chewing.

But when Chariklo opened the door for Auriga to talk about herself, she all but burst through it. "Well," she began, moving to flip a chunk of hair over her shoulder, "my family are the worrying kind. Despite my avid social life, making a big splash as a freshman at HITS, they decided to whisk me abroad." She paused, for effect. "Paris really is beautiful in winter, you know. People say it, but most people don't really know. And I thought I knew what a baguette was. But oh no-no, all the Sex in the City episodes in the world -- you know, the arc when she chases her Russian to Paris but then thinks about Mr. Big the whole time, what am I saying, of course you know! -- could not have prepared me for the joy of a proper crispy baguette. And the Parisians? Ugh, they just know, you know. They just are without even trying. I saw a woman in heels trip over a curb, and somehow it was still the most graceful thing I had ever seen. Seriously. Paris~" Pronounced Paree. Naturally.

Worried she was losing her audience, Auriga sat back from her reverie. She also chose not to mention that the Paris part had been just a couple months but the following years were all in suburban Canada outside of Vancouver. "What about you? What took you away from our fair city and brings you back now?" Auriga gestured idly to the skyline.

"Okay, now I kinda wanna see a cat wearing a tiny hat," Chariklo admitted with a chuckle before rooting through the bad at her side for some napkins and handing a few over. So far, this encounter was fairly pleasant, if not super informative.

And then the girl started talking. And for a moment, Chariklo felt as if someone had walloped her in the back of the head with an encyclopedia. She felt her eyes glazing over slightly, though she took note of the little pauses for effect and well... gushing. It gave her the impression that her companion was something of a romantic. And of course a romantic would gush over ******** Paris. Maybe it was something in the water over there. Or bizarre subliminal messages hidden in Sex in the City. Who knew.

"Well, not everyone gets to travel, so I guess you and I are lucky in the regard. Never went to Paris, though I do enjoy taking the jet out for spontaneous surfing trips. Haven't done that in a while though. And I hate to disappoint, but I really have no idea about that show other than what memes have taught me."

Now Chariklo paused, carefully mulling over her words. How on earth could she explain to this chick all the feelings and worries that had driven her from Destiny City for so many months? That she'd had to escape to save her own sanity and figure out who she really was without the Court? FInally, with a soft sigh and a wince, she turned her wrists up for the other senshi to see, to show her the white scars that ran up the length of each forearm.

"I had to escape my demons," she murmured. "And I couldn't do that here. As for what brought me back... We'll go with I figured a lot of things out while I was road-tripping. I also realized that I can't propose via text or facetime," at this last, Chariklo offered a crooked grin. "That would just be tacky, y'know?"

With a fresh napkin in hand, Auriga cleaned off the lingering grease from her fingertips, swallowing her last bite and preparing to ask if the jet Chariklo took was private. Friends in high places and all that, a good alliance to have, when the other senshi flipped her arms over to show the scars. Auriga got very, very still.

"Oh whoa... you did it the way Hannah did," she said in a small voice, inappropriate but the span of what her mind could summon. Her point of reference for suicide was 13 Reasons Why. She had been fortunate enough not to have had a personal brush with herself, family, or friends.

Auriga fidgeted with the napkin, turning it over in her hands. Her urge to babble was welling up in her and started to leak out. "Where did you road trip to? It's really good you're okay. Did you get up to Canada? I mean, that must have been super scary. And also, like, leveling with you, I was only in Paris for a bit. Most of my time was in Barnaby outside of Vancouver, which was a lot less cool, you know? Man, I am happy everything worked out for you. Also, who is your fiance?" It was possible that she may have continued but a loose piece of cabbage hit the back of her throat, and she sputtered a little cough.

Alarmed by the coughing, Chariklo leaned forward to swat the other senshi's back a few times, wishing that she'd bought some drinks.

"Are you okay? Do I need to climb through the ventilation shafts to swipe a bottle of water for you? I'm a really bad John McClain and I'd probably get stuck, but I can try!"

Of equal concern was the babble and Chariklo knew enough about discomfort to realize that she'd just laid a heaping helping of it on the other girl. Moving her hand from the girl's back to her head, she gently tweaked her hair and smiled reassuringly.

"It really is okay. I'm sorry if I upset you, but in addition to being bad at McClaining, I also really suck at lying and temporizing. So I will never knowingly lie to you or anyone."

Leaning back to provide some space since they probablky weren't quite on hugging it out terms yet, Chariklo watched the other carefully and allowed herself a sheepish smile.

"I went to California and stayed in some of the ritzier beach towns. I've never been up to Canada, so I don't know a lot about the places up that way. Did you get to see any moose up there? Does Canada even have moose? Oh! What about Avonlea? Like in the Anne of Green Gables books? Is that a real place up there?"

Okay, now she was babbling, but she was hoping to clear away most of the uncomfortable aura her confession had created. And when asked about her fiance, she grinned and fetched out her senshi phone. Bless whatever mauvians had made these things. And bless camera phones. Thumbing through the little gallery she'd created, she found a picture of Xibalba in all his shirtless, kilted glory. Passing the phone over, she couldn't help the tiniest of blushes that crept into her cheeks.

"He's not my fiance yet, but hopefully he will be in a few days. I'm gonna propose to him on my planet. That's sorta romantic, right?"

"Not lying is so good," Auriga said, nodding vigorously. "I also think being honest is super important." Perhaps Auriga did not consider white lies... lies? It would seem. She paused. "I'm working on it." It was about as reflective as she was capable of presently.

Which was truly put the test when Chariklo asked her about Canada. She had imagined countless stories of her cuddling pandas alongside Justin Trudeau and auditioning for a speaking part on the reboot of Degrassi, but since she had just professed her honest nature... well. "Moose are basically like deer -- like, forreal, they cross the street and stop traffic, but are actually super deadly because they kick out when they are scared and can, like, totally shatter your skull." And then, because she was who she was: "No lie -- this one time my dad and his husband were driving, and there was an entire family just hanging out in the road. We had to sit there for two hours! And the tragedy of it all was my phone was dead so I couldn't even take a selfie with it." She pouted for a moment, but her eyes lit up almost immediately when Chariklo offered a photo.

It was a buff looking guy in a skirt. Tres chic! "Whoa, he's, like, lumberjack realness -- and that hair! Hashtag goals, you know? I think it is tres chic that you're bucking gender roles and stomping on the patriarchy. That's what I want to do too. Like, be a feminist with a capital F. It's a woman's world! How did you two meet? Tell me everything!" Auriga propped a hand on her chin and leaned in, ready to eat up a love story more beautiful that Kim and Kanye.

Listening avidly, Chariklo tried to picture a whole family of moose holding up traffic for two hours. She'd seen the damage a normal deer could inflict on a car when hit, so imagining even bigger deer and okay. Yep. She could easily imagine one shattering someone's skull with a single kick.

Which, naturally, led to her eyebrows shooting almost up into her hairline in alarm at the thought of trying to do a selfie with a very big Murder Deer.

"Y'know," she began slowly "if they can do things like shattering a skull with a kick, I'm thinking that my impulse wouldn't be to try and go take a selfie with one. And this is coming from someone who'd happily do cageless shark dives. Animal selfies are so controversial right now anyway. Are you sure you'd want to take part in something that's seen as clueless assholes hurting or killing innocent animals for a picture?"

Dropping the subject in favor of grinning like a pleased idiot over the reaction to Xibalba's picture, Chariklo realized that she had no idea about half of what her companion was talking about. Which meant that somehow, at only 25, she'd managed to become an Old. Urgh.

"That picture's on the older side. He's grown the goatee out into a slightly fuller beard and it's so damn hot. And he's tall, which is just so good," she allowed her mind to wander for a moment as she thought about him. Then, with a laugh she pulled herself back into the conversation. "I dunno about patriarchy stomping, though. It's just the best way I could think of to prove I'm serious about him..."

Chariklo trailed off, noticing the chinhands. Ooooh yeah. Girl was definitely a romantic. But really, what was wrong with that? Shifting a little to make herself more comfortable, the blonde sighed.

"I feel like I'm about to really disappoint here, just to give you fair warning," she began. "We wound up meeting because he helped drag my black out drunk a** home a few times from the club he bounces for. He never once took advantage and he always made sure I was okay. He'd even come by the next day to check on me once I sobered up. From there, we just started talking and hanging out. I guess things kind of just progressed from there, you know?"

Rubbing the back of her neck a little self-consciously, Chariklo flashed a grin and shrugged as if to say Well, what can you do?

"Definitely not," Auriga quipped quickly at Chariklo's mention of controversial animal selfies. "A joke, hah hah ha..." Her future #goals as a young lifestyle brand entrepreneur would not be prematurely hacked short by an ill-thought self. Fate, it seemed, had intervened that day.

The tale of Chariklo's romance was, however, not a modern day You've Got Mail or Sleepless in Seattle. "A bouncer love story of a decent guy, chic!" she said instead. Auriga did her best not to reflect the disappointment on her face, and somewhere, in the back of her head, she could hear her mom chastising someone on television for making a big commitment decision just to prove something.

And being Auriga, her thoughts became words: "That's not the main reason though, right? To prove you're serious? You could do that without getting married." Young lady, a voice like hers would be in 25 years rattled off in her head.
