Quote: Return of the Merchant (10) : Investigation for the curious meteor impact may yield few results for the civilian scientists of Destiny City--but they don’t have the keen eye and aura sensing ability of their local powered warriors. Cloaked by a mysterious device that emits a unique energy signature, the impact site of the meteor is hidden inside a strange, watery bubble that spans easily a hundred feet in all directions around it. This strange shield seems to reflect light, making it appear as though there is nothing inside--but, if you look for long enough, you can make out shapes and movement. You cannot pass through the barrier, nor can sounds or light. If you attempt to walk through it, you simply pass through the other side, as if you’d walked in a straight line. That might be peculiar on its own--except, there’s a sign posted where the energy signature is strongest. Painted in fancy, iridescent ink, elegantly scrawled, the sign reads ‘Temporarily Closed for Business.’ Beneath that is a painting of a wispy, floating little orb. Text below the picture reads, ‘WANTED. Will reward handsomely.’ The shop may be closed for tonight, but tomorrow is a different story. It might be worth coming back if you can find one of those wisps. She hadn't been able to find it the first night that the giant meteor had landed. She was in the middle of a job and didn't want to interrupt it just because a giant rock from space had decided Destiny City was the perfect landing spot. It wasn't until rumors started to circulate that they were having trouble finding the giant meteor that it had gained her interest. Not that she would know what to do with it, but if it had anything to do with Order, it was best to find out what it was so that she would be able to report anything that she saw back to her Captain. It didn't appear to be too hard to find the meteor, though the energy coming from the impact site was strange. Neither Order or Chaos. Something... else. She had no idea what but she didn't like it. As if Order being around was a lot to deal with, it appeared that there was more that the Negaverse may have had to fight as well. And she really didn't like fighting, at least not now with her USB sticks. The most those were good for was throwing them at people's faces just for the shock value. When she eventually made her way to the site it was almost impossible to miss, though she couldn't see any meteor inside of it. It appeared to be shielded by something opaque. When she moved to find where the energy was strongest she was met with a strange sign that apparently had English words written on it. She sighed, annoyed that she would barely be able to report anything back. Even worse, she felt an Order aura in the vicinity coming towards where she was...

The moment Anser found the news, she immediately found herself powering up and heading outside to find the source. A meteor was easy enough to excuse, but they couldn't find a trace of it, and that sounded either like Negaverse coverup bullshit, or they just weren't looking hard enough. And if they weren't looking hard enough, perhaps it was because there was some Negaverse bullshit hiding it. Either way, it was definitely Negaverse bullshit. Perhaps it was some space bullshit, but she didn't quite buy that one. She guessed it could be. There had been weird space things before, and a meteor would follow track with that, she guessed, but it still seemed more likely that the Negaverse was up to something-- The moment she got closer to it, she realized that the energy she felt was nothing quite like the Chaos energy she was used to, nor was it much like the Order energy she would have expected. That made her uneasy. If it wasn't Order or Chaos it was something she didn't know and that was probably automatically worse. Anser wrung her hands as she approached the source, ready to fight. Whatever it was. Of course, she ended up spotting something much more familiar. A lieutenant! She knew exactly what to do with those. And she was there first, staring at the weird dome with -- was there things moving underneath it? She scrunched her nose in distaste. Maybe the energy of the dome didn't feel like Negaverse, but it seemed like the Negaverse already had their hands in some part of it, and even if they didn't she was still a lieutenant-- "You!" she shouted, stopping in her tracks and growling under her breath. "What's the Negaverse got to do with this!"

Eveite turned to look at who addressed her and well she wasn't sure what she was expecting other than a Senshi. But the outfit appeared to be quite tame to other ones that she had seen before. She raised an eyebrow at the other's question. "Nothing. That I know of at least. You should probably go and find a Captain or General, they would have more information if it really is something from us." It really didn't feel as though it was however. She could tell there was something... other-worldy. And not Negaverse other-worldy. She sighed. She found herself doing that a lot lately, and took out her table to write a quick note about the dome. She then sent the tablet away. "Now if you'll excuse me, I would like to examine whatever this is a bit more without being interrupted."

Anser found herself torn somewhere between disbelief that the lieutenant actually answered her question and annoyance that of course she would say they weren't involved, what made Anser think that any member of the Negaverse knew how to tell any kind of truth? She was probably just some survey crew with her weird tablet thing that she was writing on. Just making sure whatever weird s**t was underneath the dome was progressing alright. Too focused on the lieutenant in front of her, she didn't yet notice the sign that had been pasted to the front of the dome. Instead, she balled up her fists and let out a low growl when she suggested she didn't want to be interrupted. "Little late for that." Anser spat at the ground. "Don't want to be interrupted? Then don't be part of an organization that steals souls!" Seemed logical to Anser. "Mothers Geese!" And without letting this lieutenant have another moment, she ran at her with the intention of socking her in whatever part she could easiest reach -- preferably the face, of course. SSBrosB Super Sailor Scout Attack: "Mothers Geese!"
Geese are known for being great guards. Anser says her attack name and a couple ethereal goslings appear in front of her, honking. After the gosling honks out its warning, Anser and other allies within a five foot radius find that their reflexes are enhanced, allowing them to either better fight back physically or put some distance between themselves and whatever danger there may be.
(Usage: Twice per battle
Duration: 20 seconds

Eveite rolled her eyes and turned to look at the Senshi. But before she could say anything, her face was practically assaulted with ethereal goslings honking in front of her and for a moment it caused her to stand there, wondering what exactly was going on. In only a moment though the Senshi was heading towards her and all she could do was attempt to get out of the way. And she tried to do that by jumping. Unfortunately the dome was in her way and before she realized it she was on the other side, wondering what had happened and falling down on the ground as her brain hadn't caught up with what had happened. She groaned, Slowly getting up and attempting to figure out if anything was sprained or broken. Seiana_ZI totally can still fight, just due to what the dome did

It didn't quite accomplish what she had intended, her swing not making its mark, but the general overwhelming noise of her ethereal geese mothers and her sudden appearance accomplished something. She couldn't help the whoop of victory at seeing her smash her body against the dome and crumble to the ground. But she wasn't done yet. It didn't miss Anser's notice entirely that it didn't seem like the dome was terribly friendly to her either, but this was still a lieutenant. This was still an agent of Chaos and no matter what, she couldn't let someone who was of Chaos leave unscathed. Anser moved to stand over her, staring down at the crumbled lieutenant. "Maybe you should leave, soul-stealer."

The Senshi looked way too victorious for whatever she thought had happened. But Eveite couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at what the Senshi said. "Soul stealer? You mean starseeds? We rarely do that, usually that's only psychos. Energy is much easier to steal, so there really isn't a point unless you just want to be an a**hole." She said, managing to roll backwards and get back up on her feet. At least her ankles still seemed to be working. She let out a sigh. It's not as if she was that crazy about sticking around here and having to fight some weird goose-themed Senshi. She could always come back later as well. Unless the dome disappeared for some reason, then it would still be here by the time she came back a couple of days from now. "All I'm here for is information. Not to fight mother goose." She knew that wouldn't change anything the Senshi was doing, but it was true. She didn't care to fight and didn't care to drain the Senshi's energy at this time.

"Do you really think saying only psychos do that makes it better?" Anser snapped, staring Eveite down as she rolled backward and got on her feet. She didn't particularly care what excuses she gave. "You still ally with them, lieutenant. And you still drain the energy of the citizens of Destiny City as if you somehow have permission to do so." Anser still looked ready to fight, and even the plea for information wasn't going to be enough to make Anser back off. "And I'd rather like some information about how to stop the Negaverse forever, but it seems I won't get that. You leave or I sock you again." Her smile was snide. "How's that?"

Eveite could only shrug her shoulders and sigh. "Personally don't care about any of that. But then again, my particular hobbies could be viewed as malicious as well." She nodded at the Senshi. "Don't worry, I try to take notes of everything, and I'll make some of you as well. I'll take my leave now." She said, giving a small salute to the Senshi before running off. She really wished she could teleport. That looked much cooler than having to run out of the area. Seiana_ZI Fin from me! Thank you for the rp!
