He was doing better, he's swear to it, he was going out more often in order to gather energy like he should. He knew it was important and needed, Rhona had explained it all to him, so he was trying to do his part. It also meant he'd make her happy, even though he didn't go off and tell her all the good he'd done.
With his wraith done collecting energy, for now, the dark mirror senshi was content to hang out on a roof top and enjoy the cool breeze. Summer in Destiny City was hot but once it got darker out it started to cool off a bit and a nice breeze just made it better. He didn't mind going out during the day, despite the sun and heat, he just didn't tend to stay out long...he didn't want to dehydrate or sun burn. As much as he took color, and he did, he burned first which he never enjoyed.
Crossing his arms over his chest the dark mirror senshi could hear cars below, horns ever so often, and other various sounds. The city was alive and he could feel it even without being down there and apart of it. He was happy up here doing what he needed to do.

Plucking at her new attire Lacerta couldn't help but sigh wistfully as she glanced down at the streets below. She had kept a low profile so far this evening and had successfully navigated her way around the rooftop skyline hopefully without attracting much attention but she was still getting used to what she needed to do in order to serve her new court. She was a dark mirror senshi now and she wanted to do well by Acubens; to make her proud. Although she currently peered over the edge of the building she was standing on while clutching at the two newest items in her possession. One was a method of communication and the other was used to; and here her brow wrinkled a little in thought before remembering correctly, gather energy. Although Lacerta was still a little confused about the process. Maybe it would have helped to clarify what her plans had been for the evening before heading out. She wanted to learn everything she could to help her new family and sometimes that meant making mistakes - as long as one learned from them.
Still even as she peered at the crowds bustling below did Lacerta back away from the edge before placing her compact and mirror shard away for safe keeping. Perhaps she would need to ask about a refresher on things when she got home.
As she made her way towards the next building in the path she'd plotted the sensation of not being the only one out and about gave her pause. Perhaps the evening could be salvaged after all. Turning in the direction that the fellow chaos aura was coming from Lacerta made the choice to find out who else was around. If more just for the company than anything else.

Someone else was near by, he could feel it, he knew it wasn't Rhona and it also wasn't that Chinese senshi of Gorgon's who clung to her often time. Both were eternal and this signature was not the same - not as strong. It was there though and he turned, this way and that, to see if he could spot the person. When he did spy them he raised a hand in their direction.
Normally not a social person, wanting to avoid making friends and bonding to people, the senshi of bleeding hearts was trying...slowly. Rhona had mentioned that he should meet others, and not just stick to her, and he knew she meant well - she always did. It just wasn't him though...and he knew Rhona knew but he knew she was trying to do right by him. It was hard for him though but he would try, at least tonight.
"A good night out?" He called out, arms flexing a bit as he stretched, arms above his head, before relaxing his stance.

"A good night out?"
It was that statement that greeted Lacerta when she moved into hearing distance of the other senshi. For a moment there was no response forthcoming from her lips before they quirked upwards into a smile that couldn't yet be seen. But the smile remained as she closed the distance between herself and this newcomer. Her shoulders made a shrugging motion as she glanced over the other before relaxing. From her first inspection he didn't appear to be someone that she knew and that wasn't really a surprise. But all in all Lacerta wanted to be welcomed and feel welcoming at the same time. She nodded before finding her voice, "fair enough for the most part. Just trying to remember how things are supposed to work again."
Feeling that context was needed Lacerta reached into her subspace pocket to pull out her shard that apparently every member of the DMC had. "I still can't seem to figure this thing out. Kinda new to this still I think."
Would it be weird to hear that someone more powerful than he was having trouble doing what would be needed to serve the court?

"Remember....you've been busy outside of this for a long time?" He asked, a bit curious. It wasn't like he knew this other dark mirror senshi but it seemed, by her words, that she had been absent from the senshi side of life for a while. He couldn't be upset with her, he wasn't the best with keeping up with senshi life either, but he did want to know if that's what she meant and if he could help somehow.
"Oh, new." He said nodding his head once and pulled his own shard out, he kept it tucked under the arm band he wore. "It's easy enough." Shrugging his shoulders a bit as he spoke.
"You powered up fast then I assume? And didn't collect energy till now." But how was that possible? He did want to know, he couldn't help but be curious, as he looked around them before summoning his wraith. Explaining, rather easily, how it was done. "Once they get visible you call them back...people will notice them."

Taking in the explanation and then the show and tell portion of the evening Lacerta soon had summoned her own wraith to collect the energy needed. She'd need to remember this evening as a learning process. Once her wraith was finished it's duty she tucked the shard away before glancing at the unfamiliar dark mirror. It was true that she was still relatively new and hadn't branched out her acquaintances passed Acubens and Remarque. That would have to change if she were seriously about helping her new family grow and thrive. Her gaze took in the other before she hesitantly held out a hand in an offer of a handshake if the male wanted to accept. "Thanks for the assist. I'm Lacerta."
Feeling as though honesty was the best idea in this chance meeting of another of her new family she cleared her throat. "I think there's clarification needed. I spoke of being new and not remembering things because I didn't start out as a dark mirror. I was a white moon senshi before this."
There was nothing shameful about admitting this but she felt a slight amount of worry about doing so. She wasn't sure what others thought about those that didn't start out as original members of the dark mirror court.Sleet Tempest Snape So apparently I quoted the "wrong" person. Lol. I was wondering why my tag wasn't seen and then I went back and checked (Sept 2) and noticed I put Sleet Tempest Slate instead of Sleet Tempest Snape. Well ... lmao, jokes on me ... tag anyways.

Not a problem." Helping others wasn't typically his thing, nor was dealing with others, but he really was trying. He wanted to do right by Acubens and that meant doing right by the court. That meant helping others like right now, even though he wasn't as high in rank as this senshi. "Melpomene of Bleeding Hearts." He said taking the offered hand after a moment or two of hesitating.
Oh! That explained it. Well, that was interesting. He'd never met someone who had changes sides, aside from Acubens, so figured it a super rare thing. Maybe it wasn't as rare as he'd thought, though still rare he supposed. ":I see, do you like this side?" He didn't know much about changing sides, he'd have to ask Acubens at some point about it more, but he knew it was something which could be done. Why though he didn't know, at least for himself he was happy where he was.
"So long as you're happy it's all good." Shrugging his shoulders a bit.

Did she like this side? That was actually a good question and one that Lacerta knew she'd have to reply to sooner rather than later. Although it was hard to articulate just want she wanted to say. Pausing momentarily the newest DMC member gave it some thought before settling for nodding her head. "It's a lot less chaotic so far from what I've seen. With being part of the White Moon all I saw most of the time was chaos and disorder. After corrupting or swapping sides there doesn't seem to be as much disarray. Being the smallest faction around we tend to 'I dunno' be more harmonious towards each other?"
A grimace followed that statement as she went over it. "I mean, you didn't have to be as welcoming to me when I came across you earlier but you've been nothing but helpful. We of the Dark Moon tend to stick together through good times and bad - right?"
Lacerta had brought out her mirror shard again and was fiddling with the shard as she spoke. Call it a nervous tic. There was no reason to be nervous though. She, with Melpomene's help, had managed to fill what she needed to contribute for the evening. She made a slight nod to Melpomene's last statement before replying, "I do think that so far I am happy to have made the switch."

"No, we're smaller so less....lacking in order. We're closer and less involved in the war." At least most of the time, which he was fine with. He wouldn't turn away from a fight but he wasn't going to go seeking a fight either - unlike the other factions.
Nodding his head at her words. "Yes, we do seem closer to each other. We may not know every member but I think we are more open to greeting each other and making connections." Even he tried, when confronted by members of his own court, to try and be nice and helpful. "It's more like a family I'm sure. Acubens makes sure of it." Especially in his case. She'd provided him a place to stay and a job and a future outside of an orphanage.
"You'll meet others, they'll come if you call. Get to know them - some are very social and some less so." Such as himself. "But most will answer and come. You're family now." And she was, even his antisocial self knew that and would see her as such. She and Rhona and everyone else....he knew he was damned to being loyal to the court and it's members...though none more than Acubens because she was the first.

Hearing Acubens name fall from Melpomene's lips was something that caused the smallest of grins to appear on Lacerta's face. Ahh - we'll if there was anyone in the court that she knew best it was Acubens. The grin stayed in place as Melpomene continued to explain that all she had to do at times was call and people might answer. It would prove useful in the future for when she had her feet under her. She would pursue making those connections in the court. These connections would be her lifeline.
Lacerta pocketed her mirror shard and inclined her head towards the other senshi. It was a good start that she had made this acquaintance. "Thank you for everything that you have helped me with tonight Melpomene. I am definitely still getting my feet under me since making the switch. But knowing how to direct the mirror wraiths will help immensely."
Her gaze turned to glance over the area in which they stood. Her smile was bright as she breathed in the night air. It was perhaps time to be heading back towards Rhona's place and call it an evening. She was willing to leave but would it be rude to just take off now that she had the energy needed? After a moment of standing there deep in thought Lacerta had the answer that she needed.
Deciding that it was time to head back she gave a quick wave of goodbye to Melpomene before beginning the journey back to her new home.xSleet Tempest Snape thank you for allowing me to close this.
