Nembus was avoiding patrolling. Well, she wasn't avoiding it, necessarily. She was powered. She was actively going about the city inside the guise that turned her from the form of Delilah Samson to the form of Corrupt Sailor Nembus. She was doing what she was supposed to, in the sense that she had taken up her senshi form and was supposedly wandering around the city to take some energy. Supposedly. Nembus wasn't actually gathering any energy at the moment, instead opting to walk around the city, hands jammed in pockets of a cardigan she had lifted from the outside display of one of the stores that were open. A part of her felt bad about it. That was their life's earnings. They probably needed the cardigan. It was a pretty cardigan and she was pretty sure the amount needed to pay for it was more than a part-time student could really afford. That also probably meant it was a significant chunk of money for them. But she had been a bit chilly, and it was a pretty cardigan, and-- And maybe she'd just return it later with an apology written on the tag she had taken off and shoved into the pocket. She noticed a signature on the edge of her senses that felt like it was light and grating, but she made no effort to run from it. Of course, she also didn't make a spectacular effort to run towards it, either. Instead, Nembus stopped for a moment and waited, looking around in curiosity. Beejoux let me know if this works

With the aim of becoming more self sufficient as a senshi Genbu had been heading out at night more frequently since the night in the park and the whole nightmarish fiasco with the bottle. That had been a breaking point. A harsh reminder that She and Seiryuu had been coasting along on luck and chance. They needed to be better, stronger. They needed to learn about what they were and their role in this war. Whatever knowledge they could gain, whatever experience they could pick up. Which put the both of them on the streets at night, alone or as a pair, a lot more than they ever had been before. And when Genbu felt the brush of chaos off in the distance she didn't run from it. instead she ran towards it not at all sure what she'd fine, but knowing they were at least of a similar power level. When it turned out she knew the corrupt senshi it had her slowing, bright eyes widening a touch as she wondered for just a moment what it meant to be meeting like this outside of the bottle. Without that, there was nothing to inspire them to work together. "Hi..." It made her a little wary as she approached. "Nembus, right?"

Nembus, at least, didn't seem spectacularly hostile when approached by the Order senshi. Perhaps she should have been. She knew Order was, in theory, bad. Or at least, that was what some people told her. Other people, and other experiences, would have her believe differently. Having once been Order herself might have her believe differently. Nembus wasn't a bad person, right? Had she been a bad person before? Was she a bad person now? Awkwardly, she lifted a hand to play with the cardigan that she was wearing once more. It was all very confusing, really, and she opted not to think any longer on it, instead watching Genbu, trying to figure out how she was going to react. Outside of the bottle, would Genbu attack? Eurydike, Seiryuu, and Genbu had been nice to her, but part of her wondered if that was because of Stillwaterite. It seemed like Eurydike knew her, after all. But they had complimented her and thanked her. Certainly, it was because they liked her, right? And not just because they had to like her? Genbu seemed wary with the way she spoke. She guessed Nembus couldn't blame her. Genbu was wearing white, after all. That probably meant Nembus should attack... And yet, she didn't, and had no desire to. "Yeah." Nembus offered a small smile, though didn't move any closer, even though she bounced eagerly on her heels like she wanted to approach. "I'm Nembus! You're Genbu, right?" She didn't wait for confirmation before asking, "I'm glad to see you're still alright. You know, after, ah," she chuckled lightly, "that bottle thing."

There was no automatic attack, no aggression, only an understandable wariness from the other senshi, and Genbu felt her shoulders relaxing as the tension drained away from her. "Yeah, that's right." At the very end of that battle, when she'd thought Seiryuu was...well, she hadn't really been paying attention to much else at the time, not even after the bottle had broken and they'd all turned up in the park again. She hadn't known what might have become of the corrupted senshi they'd been fighting beside. So it was good to see that at least one of them had made it out alright. "Same, really. We got out of there pretty quickly after, so didn't really see." Her hands came together, fingers hooking. "Do you know if that other corrupt is alright? The one with the white hair, Stillwaterite?" That'd been her name, right?

Genbu seemed a bit more relaxed. Did that mean she could relax? She would be safe now, right? The allyship they had formed in the bottles would remain even outside of the bottles? It was hard to tell if Nembus' bouncing was from excitement or nerves. It was probably both. She attempted to settle her urge to bounce, watching Genbu curiously as she spoke. She was going to assume Seiryuu was still alright, too, considering Genbu didn't seem too much on edge, and also said we. And Eurydike had been alright at the time; she didn't really see much reason to think that he no longer was-- Oh, Stillwaterite. Sedna, Sedna, Sedna-- "Yeah, she's alright," responded Nembus, casually, like she didn't know what was actually going on with Stillwaterite. She had to keep her identity safe, private. She didn't know what information links existed between Chaos and Order. She didn't know if there was any risk inherent in mentioning that Stillwaterite was likely no longer Stillwaterite, at this point. She didn't know if there was a point. "I saw her the other day," technically not a lie, "and she's been okay!" That was a lie, though. Better to get off the subject. "You get sucked into bottles often, or...?"

In all honesty Genbu hadn't been thinking much about the bottle itself or the allies they'd made inside it. Not that she wasn't grateful for them, and not that it hadn't been huge and traumatic event, but her priority was Seiryuu. Not only making sure the other girl was alright, but but reassuring herself that what she'd seen in that last battle hadn't lasted. Seiryuu was alive, they both were, and they intended to keep it that way. But that didn't mean the two corrupts hadn't crossed her mind a time or two, and she was glad to know they were both alright. It made her smile, relieved. "Good, I'm glad you're both alright." Her head tilted at the question that followed, brows dipping as she shook her head. "No, thank God. I think that's probably the strangest thing we've had to deal with so far, well..." she trailed off as she recalled the holidays and that weird a** dream with the battle in the woods and the ball gowns. But the bottle was still worse. No one had died in that dream. "Yeah," she finally ended, nose wrinkling at the thought. "You?"

Nembus was glad they were both alright, too. Well, she hoped so. She wasn't really sure if Sedna was alright. Was Order treating her well? Was it really everything she wanted? Was what she lost worth what she gained? Was it worth getting out of the place that had forced her into it? They were all questions she wanted to ask, and hoped she would get to ask someday, but that day was not today. There was somewhat of a relief to hear that it was the strangest thing Genbu had experienced, but she trailed off like there might have been something else. Nembus wanted to ask, but first, she guessed she should address the question asked of her. Were there any other strange situations she had been part of? There was that one time when a tree made her have dreams about her family at Christmastime. Her family. Her-- "The bottle's definitely been the strangest thing for me too, yeah. Also the first time I've been in a bottle," snorted Nembus, shaking her head. Even considering her memory loss, she was fairly sure that was a safe assumption. "I mean, other stuff has happened, like one time I got an email about a song and then got really hungry for no reason. I don't understand this city." Nembus didn't understand much, but-- "Has anything else strange happened to you?"

She really was a sweet girl, Nembus. It didn't seem like she really fit in with the Negaverse, not from what she'd seen. Stillwaterite hadn't really fit the mold either. They were too willing to cooperate, non-threatening and helpful, and not just because their lives had depended on it. At least not in the case of Nembus. It made her want to ask how she'd ended up with them, if she'd ever thought about leaving, but if the other girl was happy she didn't want to upset her. "Yeah, there was a lot of weirdness going on around the holidays." Everyone she'd asked had had some sort of strangeness happen to them through December or into January. "But there's always something weird going on, it seems like." Genbu snorted as she folded her arms. "You can't turn on the news without hearing about an attack or a strange sighting somewhere in this city."

Around the holidays would match up with what she had seen in her experience. The pretty flowers, for one, though that wasn't weird, just pretty. It also matched up with that stupid singing email that had made her so hungry-- At least she had found out about a cool Chinese buffet because of that. Nembus had made a couple other runs to that place since, though she had to do her best to bury the memories of that hungry. It was probably one of the few memories she had gained over the past seven months that she didn't particularly want. Then again, with so little experience, she would take any experience. "Always?" asked Nembus, curiously, a moment of her lack of knowledge slipping out. She quickly covered it up with a, "I suppose it is always, isn't it." At least, there wasn't a time she recalled that didn't involve weird things on the news, she supposed. She wished things were a little less chaotic in this city. Maybe it'd give her time to get back on her own two feet and figure out where she stood now. Considering she had to think about the war around her, the fact that she lost her memories in the first place, what that meant with her relationships with people, what that meant for the strange life she lived, what that meant considering the strange things around her-- Still curious, Nembus continued, "What happened to you at the holidays? It sounds like you have experience with it."
