Silvera He was curious, he knew nearly everyone was, this was a new planet to them all and it was so full of life. But when he steppe dout of their protective dome was intimidating. It was such a large area and the citgy below was massive it seemed. He didn't know much on this planet much less how to get buy and he didn't know how to act properly in order to not stand out. Caedus had dealt with senshi and knights when he'd been here, he'd told them what he knew, but he hadn't gone out into the city and tried to fit in.
Without proper knowledge he was hoping to run into someone as he stepped out of the dome, as it seemed a rather likely to happen thing. With so many in this city, and how fast word might spread, he wouldn't be surprised if several senshi and knights were area seeking to talk to and see their guests.
He was hoping someone would help guide him around the city so he could explore and learn about this place and it's people. He wanted to observe and even participate in whatever he could. He felt that if they were going to protect this city, and save this planet, he wanted to fully enjoy the time here and see what was special about it - from the inhabitants perspective. He wanted a proper respectg and understanding of the place.
"It's huge..." And a breath of air was chill, but not too cold, it was pleasing. He could smell all sorts of thigns...things he'd never smelled before. "The nature here..." He guessed.

Scylla wasn't stalking the aliens. That was what she told herself when she approached the barrier for her now-daily alien hunt. Because it was friendly, and Scylla was friendly, and nice made aliens less likely to accidentally destroy your planet by feeding the bad guys lots and lots of yummy snackies. And an underfed, overworked Negaverse was the best Negaverse. So she had started coming by once or twice a day just to... see... if anyone was there. Any day now Lyndin and Caedus would probably come chase her away with a broom, but she just wanted to be helpful! With a leather jacket on that she could easily zip to fully cover her glowing markings, leggings to try and change the look of her lower body- her skirt was perfectly normal... right? And with her hair swept over her forehead, there was, surely, no way for a random person on the street to know that this stylish, short woman was actually a senshi. Right? Hopefully? Someone was stepping out of the barrier as Scylla approached, and she lifted a hand to them in greeting. This was it! This was to be her fourth non-violent alien introduction! "Hi!" she chirped, looking the stranger over. "I'm guessing you're one of the uh... new residents in this area?"

Silvera Looking over to the...senshi, he guessed they were a senshi, though they could also be a knight, he nodded his head. "Yes, a new resident if you like. TGhough we are rather guests, we don't plan to stay for too long." Judt long enough toi elitimate the threat to this planet and try and find out how to help bring life back to their own, a planet he'd never seen but would like to one day live on. He'd heard about it from family members who had been there, how they missed it, and he did wonder about it.
"I'm Silvera." Approaching slowly as he made sure to activate the human appearence he'd need if he were to go into the city, as he wanted to do. He wanted to see more of these humans world and observe them. There was, he felt, much to be learned from them and not all of it requiered him to interact with them. He could interact with their world and explore and learn a good deal.

"Temporary resident, then." Scylla's smile was easy. "A few weeks is a long stay for a guest, but I suppose that term could also apply. You might want to use visitor to the area instead of trying to say you're a guest to the area, as well." her head tilted, taking in the interesting shades. Pale blue skin, and such vibrant pinks and purples for hair and eyes... Would almost definitely stand out, and she could see why Caedus had chosen to remain hidden for so long. However it was interesting to see the unique colors of their people so far; 'Silvera' was definitely different from Caedus and Lyndin in appearance. Stepping forward to meet Silvera, Scylla blinked to watch the human form overtake the alien. "I am Scylla, Senshi of the Kraken. A pleasure to meet you, Silvera. I was on my way to come pay a visit, see if there was anything I could do to help out." play it cool, as if this wasn't becoming some weird stalkery daily ritual to come visit the magical barrier. "You might not plan to stay long, but you're here to help, so I do hope to help keep you all comfortable." Give them a better opinion of human hospitality than Beryl's betrayal, anyways.

Silvera "Yes, that term would work well also, we'll use that." Or at least he would. He didn't speak for others, not even the senshi in front of him, but the term did work as she explained it. Nodding his head he motioned for her to lead him. "I would like to observe the city below and the people. If we are here to help I would like to see the people we are helping, to understand further." Especially if they were going to seek some sort of an alliance and perhaps more.
"Can you show me the city below and assist me?" He did not want to stand out as much as he was sure he would, considering his behaviors and lack of understanding of basic things. He'd need help and he was hoping she could provide it.
"What is a kraken, if you don't mind me asking?"

The very human looking alien agreed to the term visitor, which would hopefully attract a lot less attention for oddity of language than guest might. One small suggestion accepted, Scylla was quite pleased; it was better than none. "Understandable that you would want to observe," Scylla said cheerfully, "Which makes it a good thing I came with the clothes I have on. Senshi are not exactly regarded by some locals in the most cheerful light, though others don't care." Terrorists was the technical term, but that would be opening a can of worms that she wasn't sure she could explain. "And I'm a bit more distinctive than other senshi." Moving her hair to the side, she showed the glowing mark on her forehead. "This is a kraken. It's a... well now it is a mythical monster, believed to only live on in stories. It was a large sea creature with many arms. Mostly Scandanavian folklore, though the Ainu people in Japan also have one they call Akkorokamui. Anyways. It's got many arms, and was known to bring entire ships down to the bottom of the ocean." She gestured to the woods. "The city isn't far from here. I'll be able to sense if any Chaos agents come near- Lyndin said if there was any risk you should teleport back immediately, so I'll let you know as soon as I sense one drawing near." Most would probably avoid, she hoped, but there were was always a chance.

Silvera "I see, is my own clothing acceptable or will it stand out as well?" He questioned. He knew people dressed different but just how different he couldn't be too sure. Senshi, as well as knights, had uniforms which he was sure were different so he couldn't use that as a refrence point to what was considered normal wear for the people here. What she wore over it was perhaps accurate but that was for a female.
"Distinctive, how so?" He could understand in a war if people did not understand just what was going on that both sides might indeed look bad, and that was what he assumed she meant. He could, in some manner, understand that if it were in fact the case.
"Oh, a monster of the sea which is that strong." From the sound of it anyway. "I'd like to see a book on them if it is possible. Even if they are not real here, and never were, I assume they were elsewhere." Her homeworld, whatever that was, he was sure if there was a senshi of kraken than they had infact been real there. "That would be good, I can teleport us both if need be. Let's hope it doesn't come to that. I'd very much like to explore as much as I can tonight. I'm very interested in this place. It is very different from what I'm used to." And he liked to idea of being on a living planet, one with a living core and which grew and flourished like this one did.
"While we explore, if you could explain to me things. I'd like to know as much as I can. If we're to be here for several weeks and fighting to save here I want to understand as much as I can. If we bring back our world, I'd like to perhaps find ideas here which may be implamented there. Even if they need to be altered some." Perhaps there would be ideas which they could suggest and put to use....if they could bring life back to their home world. He'd never lived there but his parents had and he'd heard the stories. It had taken his parents a long time to decide to ask for permission to have a child. He was their only child and so he'd heard all the stories. Sometimes he did wonder what it would be like to have had a sibling...someone to share things with. But it was not a good idea...where they lived couldn't support many people.

Scylla looked over the disguised alien carefully. "You'll do well enough!" she promised the alien. "Humans are a rather eclectic bunch, so while you might get a couple strange looks here or there, you'll never have a question asked." The curious question from Silvera earned him a bright smile. "Well, first being that on Earth, markings like I have don't glow, and are rarely on the forehead. While tattoos themselves aren't odd, and a large number of people have at least something small, many places of business require them covered up. And... like I said... no glowing. As for other things, my aura will feel different to a Chaos agent. My tattoos mark me as being particularly close to my homeworld, which I understand lends my aura itself to being a bit... brighter." And the alien wanted a book! Ahhhh! Scylla wished she could oblige. "As far as non-fiction books go- meaning books based on some version of reality- there aren't any for the Kraken." There were certainly some interesting fiction novels though. "I can find you some books on squid or octopi maybe- the giant squid is the closest Earth creature they have found to it." As they made their way in towards town, Jada smiled. "Don't worry about me. I'm very familiar with taking care of myself, and if I'm sensed and then vanish there could be some suspicion raised. We want to keep you hidden, and depending on what our Negaverse 'friends' are up to, I'd need to stay anyways. We'll try and avoid them first, however; let you enjoy your outing a little longer." Silvera's hope to be able to bring back bits and pieces of Earth ideas during the (hopeful) restoration of Velenia made the senshi smile. "I'll do my best. You just tell me what you need me to talk about and I'm more than happy to."

Silvera "I won't...that's good." He was glad to hear that, though he did wonder just how diverse people were in their dress. It sounded like they were very diverse and he did want to see just how much so, curious as to what humans draped and clothed themselves in and considered normal and acceptable. "Ah, then back in times when people lived on your planet...would everyone have had such markings? or is it only now? When no one from then is alive but you?" He questioned, hoping not to seem rude or upset her, he was just curious. Maybe she didn't even know. But if those markings meant that than perhaps it had been normal back then? Why did no one on his planet have them or was it because it was synthetic? It wasn't something he'd ever seen and so had never asked about. But perhaps it had once been a thing amongst his own people...something older generations may have once had decorating their bodies?
"I would like a book on both animals if it is possible, I do not know where to look for such books. But I would like to read on whatever is close to a kraken in order to get a good idea on one, even if it is not exactly what you represent." It would, for now, do. Perhaps if he stayed here long enough he could find some sort of book mentioning the creatures? Even if it wasn't filled with facts it would give an idea of what people thogutht he kraken to be. That would help - right?
So long as she felt safe, even if the Negaverse turned up, he was ok with not teleporting them out of the city and back here. "Alright, if your safe then. Let's go, I'd like to see what this planet is about...I admit I'm curious about the foods and plant life here." Two oddly different things...and yet not all that different. Plants were things which could be eaten as well after all. He was curious and wanted to sample foods and observe people as he tried to fit in.

"We used paints." Scylla smiled at the alien's curiosity. "Some of the markings were like mine, but they could be anything. It was a form of war paint, camouflage, and decoration all in one. The whole world glowed, and our warriors had to learn to look at what didn't glow with the same sense of trepidation as those things that did." holding out her arm so that Silvera could take a closer look, she added, "Humans also have these markings, though they do not glow unless special dyes are used. My markings, and those of some of the other senshi, are special because they are a gift from our Homeworlds and Wonders." The fact that he wanted books made Scylla clasp her hands together in glee. "I know just the place to find you some books," she informed Silvera with glee, "I'll purchase them for you, so you can take them back to your camp and share them with others, or even take them home with you when this is all over." Oh! An updated set of encyclopedias- not as useful as the internet, but good for when they had to go back to their world, and only about $1,000. A worthwhile purchase, she hoped. The concern for her safety was sweet as well, and Scylla's gaze lightened. "I can definitely make sure to fit in a few food stops on the way for today's tour. If you're interested in plants I can take you to the botanical garden around here. We have a zoo, too, with a lot of animals if you prefer that. I can swing us by the bookstore on the way back to pick up some books on various animals, and stop by a bakery so you have some food to share when you get back to base." Pursing her lips, she added, "If you think the zoo or garden would interest some of your people, we can go back again later. Or bring them with us now. We also have an art museum, showing off.... well. Art. Human creativity over the centuries."

Silvera "So then, I wonder if other homeworlds had such markings in the past. If your people did then." Taking her hand slowly to look over the markings, turning her hand over to further examine them. "Do they do anything other than just glow?" Which was a good thing...but also bad. In a dark place they would show easily and give away where she was. But was it that bad when you could also be sensed anyway?
"If your homeworls, and wonders, can provide these...why do they not live? You exist still and are here...you've even gained these markings from them." And yet they remained desolate as far as he could gatehr. It made no sense...when the senshi and knights were alive and well...why would their homeworlds not accomidate in order to host them? Didn't they know they were unliveable for their own senshi and knights?
"Books would be nice. I would like to take them home with me...as a reminder of this place, it is so different from our home. I would like to remember here as mbest I can, and pass them down in my own family. Perhaps I or someone else from my family will come here and visit." He could hope to visit again in the future and see Scylla again. Maybe not in this lifetime, though he hoped it would be, and that maybe things would be better here and on her homeworld.
"Ohh, this all sounds like something we cna't fit in a day. But I want to do all of it. I want to learn of the people here and enjoy what I am able to. I would love to try some books and the books would be good." He would make sure they were treasured and passed down in his family so more could learn of another world, one which was a miracle and oh so special. "The plants...I would very much like to see them as well...I would like to take samples as wel...to learn about them." Perhaps even seeds if he could manage....that way he could grow them in a safe enviornment and study them further. Maybe they would provide benefits to their people or prove useful in other ways. Oh, the oppertunities and what he could learn here! It was a whole new world to explore and look into!
Oh, if he was the sort to jump and laugh he would be. He might even grasp the senshi by the arms and spin her around in delight. He was excited for it all and he tried to hide it but it wasn't so easy when his eyes were alight with his happiness.

"Oh, I am sure they did," Scylla assured Silvera with a grin, "Earth had tattoos, and I can almost guarantee the idea wasn't unique." Especially not if the Velencyans were something to go by- Silvera's interest was adorable. "They only glow. As far as I know, anyways. I have other gifts that came with the bond, but the tattoos are kind of... like how the triangle head of a snake indicates it has But there were bigger questions to be answered, and Scylla sighed. "Do you want my honest opinion on why they don't live in the way we might expect?" she asked curiously. "I have theories. The only one who might know why is... over my head. The planets themselves might be able to tell us, I suppose?" her voice was dry. "A similar question to why only some planets seem to have Royal crystals. I'm sure more out there did, but we have only a few." And many of those who had that power had abandoned the war. Left their knights to it, if even those warriors had stuck around. But when was the last time she had seen a Polaris knight? Alphubel was the only one she knew by name, and she had never met a knight of Iris. Chronos had a few wandering around. "I'll take you to a book store." Scylla pulled herself from her thoughts to focus on the alien in front of her. "We can start there. They usually have some free pamphlets and things at the front of some of the stores, and we can grab some things so you can pick what you would like to do first. I can't make any promises on samples and clippings. As far as I know the Botanical Gardens and Zoo tend to frown on taking clippings from their plants, but we can absolutely get you some from the local area. And I have a garden at my house I can bring you some full plants from." She pursed her lips thoughtfully. "They do have stores where plants and seeds can be purchased, too. We can buy you some, and look online to see about shipping from other areas of the world. If you will have the space for it, on your return trip." In fact, she made a note of it right now, shooting a message over to her civilian phone to make sure that she didn't forget to have the gardener take some clippings. Silvera seemed so excited about plants, and it was mind-boggling, but kind of adorable. Scylla had never been a plant person.

Silvera So the markings on her came with other benefits, he assumed they were benefits, as well. He would get back to that, and ask about it, later as she was moving on and he wanted to keep up with the conversation - he wanted to know more.
"I'd like to know what you think is the reason. Even if it's speculation I assume there is reason for the speculation being what it is and not something else. I'd like to know." He'd like to know a lot of things honestly. He doubted he'd get tired of asking questions any time soon, there was a lot to learn after all.
"Yes, I would very much like to see the plant life here and study some of it. I wonder if we can get some to grow back home...maybe not as they would here - in the ground...but maybe." Swallowing around the upset the idea caused him ,that they weren't like this planet, he knew they'd get there one day. They would return to their home planet and it would thrive and prosper for them as it once had done. He hoped his parents would live long enough to see it - they deserved it.
"I'll have the space, I'll make sure there is enough space. I don't think anyone would have an issue with me bringing such things back with us. They would be good for research as well as finding ways to grow. Eventually, when our planet returns to life, we can plant things there perhaps as well." It would, he hoped, help with bringing around more life and what was needed for other species to exsist once again.
"This planet is amazing....you don't know how lucky you all are here. If you saw our home, other places, you'd know just how special it is here." He spoke softly as he smiled at her. "I would like to see about some books. Anything I can get to learn about this place I would greatly enjoy."Infinities We can finish if you want, soon. I gotta go get him approved and then Jada can run into him and help him and move him in with her and show him the world! LMAO.
