Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Okay," said Milo, holding up a hand to pause his sister's thoughts. He glanced around, reflecting upon what he'd just been told, and considered the scenery. It was nearly full dark, the weather reasonably pleasant, all things considered, and they were standing by the water, away from other people that might be staring at them.

Oh yeah, and his sister was trying to claim she had magic powers, including teleporting to other planets, of all things. Lovely.

"This is the part," he continued, "Where you laugh in my face for even thinking you were being serious, right?"

She paused just long enough to make him think that was the case, then just shook her head. "Nope, watch this." And with that, she pulled out her Henshin pen, spoke her activation phrase, and powered up as he openly gawked at her.

"Believe it now?" Hypatia asked with that same calm smirk. Milo gulped, and nodded. "Good. Because I was serious about wanting you to sail for me."

Right as she was about to go on, she frowned and glanced around. "Crap," she muttered. "I think there might be someone nearby..."

"Huh?" Milo responded, looking off into the dark in a random direction. "I didn't hear anything."

Hypatia's eyes narrowed as Milo's widened. She grabbed his arm and pulled him back. "Get behind me," she hissed, over his protests, and affected a battle ready sort of pose.

She was well aware this wasn't going to have much luck beating this...creature. But still. It wasn't as if she could abandon her brother. "Back off, lady. Go play with someone else. Preferably in traffic."

"What's up with your face?" Milo asked immediately after, apparently ignoring the graveness of the situation. Or being somewhat unaware. He did, at least, stay behind Hypatia, though was peeking around and frowning quizzically. "You really into those Pokemon furries online or somethin?"

That caused the senshi trying to protect him to turn her head slightly in annoyance. "Not now!" she admonished quickly.

"You know," Milo said, allowing himself to be partially obscured by Hypatia, though he did peek around, "There are people on the internet who go crazy over drawings of people that look like you. I'll bet if we got some pictures of you, maybe without any cl--"

Hypatia was briefly too shocked to do anything about her brother's lack of worry, but as soon as she realized what he was getting at, her eyes went wide and she clamped her hands around Milo's mouth, then said quickly, "Nope, nope, we are NOT doing that!"

She shifted to pick him up and just run, but that meant she wasn't covering his mouth anymore. "Hey, c'mon, now, we were just talking!" he protested.

The ability to teleport was always a bit jarring, and somehow Hypatia hadn’t considered the possibility here, so when the strange looking negaverser disappeared, she blinked once in surprise before feeling the hand.

Her immediate reaction was to let go of Milo, bodily shoving him (which worked much better than one might expect, given that the younger brother was both taller and stronger) and declaring, “Go, run!” even as she spun herself toward the hand to plant a fist as best she could in this woman’s face.

Milo, off balance, didn’t really start running or anything yet, occupied as he was with not falling flat on his face and being thoroughly mystified by the two women.
