Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oh yeah, it was a really good night. There were a lot of fun things about being upgraded, but one of the big ones was that she could drain way more energy way faster. It did take a little bit of the challenge of it, but that was okay. That meant that Sylvite could do her own challenge stuff on her own time.

That meant that tonight, her puffy shorts were stuffed full of lovely, lovely energy and she was back out in a quieter part of downtown, standing with the tips of her toes dangling off of a building that was a couple stories high.

She took a deep breath and then leaped, throwing her weight until she flipped. Once. Twice. Three times. A triple, that was good, and she landed squarely on her feet with her knees slightly bent and her hands out.

She started to giggle, and then she started to laugh from the thrill of it, until she ran out of breath and knelt down, still half giggling at the sidewalk.

Sylvite perked up even more from her little moment of silliness at the feel of an approaching Eternal aura. There were so many cool people that could be, or maybe even someone new, 'cause that would be fine, too, she'd never met a Negaverse senshi she didn't like.

The sight of a not-really-space-pirate hat coming into view over a nearby rooftop had her jumping to her feet, though. "Stiiiiilllllll!"

Last time they'd met, Sylvite had managed a little bit of restraint because of the whole memory loss thing, but now they were confirmed friends and everything. As soon as the senshi touched down, Sylvite basically threw herself towards her with a super enthusiastic hug.

Then, grinning, she looked down at her new outfit and shook out the new, longer skirt. "Oh, yeah! Thanks! It was a couple weeks ago, I'm still kinda getting used to it, but it's really cool!"

Her eyes twinkled. "Guess what I have now?"

In about three seconds, Sylvite's big grin shifted into a blank eyed expression of pure oh no. She hadn't told Still. She hadn't told a lot of people, actually, but Still was like, officially her friend.

She took a step back and blinked kinda blankly. "Sorry, I'm seventeen, I don't exactly know about promotion parties. It'd be kinda weird to just call up everyone on the tablet things just to be like 'oh hey I'm a Captain now,' right?" She shrugged, smile creeping back onto her face. It was hard to be anything but happy with Still around. "But hey, you're here now, and you know, and uh, thanks!"

She giggled at the guess of an underling. "Nah, that'd be weird," was her first response, but then she thought about it. Maybe she could teach someone. Chrys had taught her, and she was older than they'd been back then. "Actually, it might be okay, but no. It's these!"

She summoned her weapons, on the verge of bouncing with excitement and pride. They were knives, shiny silver knives with cute striped handles.

Any trace of you don't have to was gone at the mention of frozen yogurt. Sylvite's eyes went big and she said, "Yeah, okay, that'd be pretty great."

Thinking about underlings, as Still had called them, still didn't seem quite realistic for the new Captain. She shrugged with a half grin. "I mean I'm always up for helping people. Maybe if the right person comes along," she said all sing-song, tossing her curls and fluttering her eyelashes for about a second before it all broke into giggles.

However, neither sweets or Lieutenants got Sylvite quite as excited as the thought of teleportation. Her laughter cut off and she gripped her knives tight and rocked back and forth on her heels. "Oh, I forgot about that one!" She looked up at Still. "Do you know how?" Her eyes were big, begging. "Can we try it?"

Sylvite was already in smile mode, but when Still offered her both desserts and magic lessons she let the knives vanish, clasped her hands in front of her chest and gave a tiny squeal. "Yes please and also yes please," she said, giddy, 'cause it honestly could not get any better than this.


She did catch the surprise in the senshi's eyes, though. It was fair. Teleportation was so awesome, she'd been dying to try it since she'd seen Umber do it the day she'd joined up, but now that she'd actually gotten promoted, she'd gotten distracted by the shiny weapons, and honestly, a bit by the Information paperwork and trying to think up new missions.

Was this growing up? Weird.

"I mean it's like magic and fun, right," she said, flushing a little, "So if you're up for it now then yeah!"

For that moment, Still had all of Sylvite's attention. All of it. She was super, super on board to the whole idea of running so fast that you didn't run at all. She already liked sprinting so fast that it seemed like she was flying from roof to roof. Now it she could get even closer to that. She grinned.

"Okay," she said. "I think I can do that."

Willing stuff was even easier. That was what happened with her uniform, and with the weapons, and draining and all that. By this point, she was actually getting kinda used to magic stuff happening for her if she just wanted it badly enough. It was nice. It worked for her.

Sylvite was really good at wanting things.

Anyway, she stared at the maintenance door. For the first couple seconds she just had her fists curled up tight, and then she scrunched her eyes closed, too, and thought about summoning herself over there the way she could summon her knives. Then, she felt it. Something in the air shifted around her, like when she'd teleported with other people before, and when she opened her eyes, yep, she was at the door.

She turned back around towards Still, practically bouncing up and down, even though, yeah, it felt like she'd been running way more than just across a roof. "Woah!" Her eyes went all big again, and she jogged back over. "I did it! That's awesome! Thank you!"

Sylvite giggled as Still started saying nice things to her. "I try, I try," she said, and she clasped her hands and did something that might have passed as a respectful nod if she wasn't grinning so much. "But no, really, having someone talk me thorough the magic stuff is really nice. I know it's all kinda similar, but it helps me focus, y'know?"

Yeah, the formal approach wasn't really cutting it. Instead, intense as always, she practically threw herself at Still for a hug. She was just so, so grateful for a friend like this, someone so smart, and pretty, and strong and helping her get stronger to. She bounced away the moment afterwards, getting even giddier at the mention of frozen yogurt.

"Hmm," she said, pretending to consider. "I mean, that did kind of take it out of me. If I wanna try more, I should probably refuel, and that means sugar, obviously!"

Not that she needed an excuse for dessert, or for hanging out. "And then next time, maybe I can just teleport us to the froyo place, or something else fun." The possibilities were endless, and they just kept opening up.
