Lt. Qusongite - Das Tor
Eos Galvus
A day off from her civilian day job granted Ferris ample time to think. Not about her place -- she was fine there - but rather she was contemplating Plans. Dominantly, plans to try dragging Sailor Elpis into chaos; kicking and screaming likely, unless Periclase could get through to her. Ferris wasn't quite sure if Elpis even spoke politely to corrupts, but it was worth trying. Ferris was still trying to work it out, however, just in case. In case it went to hell, and Elpis attacked. Elpis' sphere, to Ferris, was a vast unknown and Ferris was concerned it might pose a problem, however; if only because Ferris wanted Periclase safe. Safe and protected from harm, and protected from Order.
Still, things needed to change and there was a senshi to save, so for now, Ferris put her personal feelings aside to consider the risks and threats posed to someone in Order that, honestly, would even look better in chaos. White did not look good on Elpis in the least and Ferris wanted to know who was behind Order, because the uniform assigned to Elpis was atrocious. Simply atrocious.
Ferris shifted her weight, deep in her thoughts and seated comfortably on a concrete bench in the park as she watched the sky, if only to kill time while thinking, and that was because Ferris was looking for something nice to look at while thinking and planning -- she'd already made quota, and so she simply relaxed, enjoying the night and the view as plans fermented and danced in her mind.
Anything dealing with someone close to a general needed planning.

It had been a long day of following leads. And no payoff. Qusongite figured checking on things throughout the city might help clear his head. See if he could maybe pin down one of the space invaders to ask them questions. He'd been so buried in school and then work that he'd felt...well. He'd felt bad. He hadn't meant to ignore his duties to the Negaverse, and he intended to make up for that. Take some of the burden off his mother. Do some truth-digging of his own. He hadn't expected to see one of the 'space invaders' in black. He'd learned about Corrupt Senshi, in theory, but he'd never seen one. Well...who better to start with than one on his own side?
"I'm surprised to see you by yourself." He stood nearby, hands on his hips. He waited until she noticed him, then gave a small wave. "Good evening. I'm Qusongite. And you are?"
Eos Galvus
"Hi!" Ferris was delighted to meet a new member of the Negabverse. It made her happy, and she moved, standing up and offering a handshake warmly as she beamed.
"Sailor Ferris! And I don't know, I'm usually running my quotas on my own. Had the day off, finished my duties for the day, and now, I'm planning. But I'm only explaining -- it's nice to meet you, Qusongite! How are you? Find anything interesting?" She was just content to greet someone, and it was a wonderful break from plotting!

Goodness, she was exuberant. Qusongite chuckled, smile on his lips. "A pleasure, Ferris! I'm doing well enough. Had a bit of a rough day, but nothing that can't be soothed by making sure tonight is productive!" He winked, then let out a little 'hm'. "I will admit, I thought senshi among us had to be monitored. It says a great deal about you that you aren't. And...I admit I'm a curious man, who hadn't yet met one of you before." He cleared his throat, looking a bit sheepish.
"Do you mind if I ask you a question or three?"
Eos Galvus
"Well, if it helps, I'm not one to see many non-Senshi out and about; maybe it's a choice? Or case by case, at least." Ferris had to admit though, she never heard anyone mention being supervised, but! That was fine! Ferris supposed if she was, she was, if she wasn't, she wasn't.
"Oh, feel free. I can probably use a break from some planning I've been doing. Nothing bad, of course."
Just good! A lot of good!

"Planning?" He pulled a small recorder out of one of his large sleeves. "I can ask about that later. Do you mind if I record this? It's easier to record now and then write it all down later. Keeps me from missing things because I was taking too long writing, you know?" It was a trick he'd picked up in high school, when he'd worked on the school paper. His mother had suggested it, and it just...stuck.
Eos Galvus
"Oh, no, no problem, go ahead." Ferris waved, still visibly cheery as she motioned. Really, she understood -- she sometimes recorded melodies that she thought of, so it made sense, and Ferris motioned to invite him to sit before perching herself back on the bench, neatly crossing her legs with the smile remaining on it. "Fire when ready!... I'll do my best, but er.. I feel I should warn you I don't... Remember... Anything before the Negaverse."
Qusongite nodded, moving to seat himself near her. And then he blinked. "You...don't? That's...hmmm." He started the recording device. "This is Lieutenant Qusongite, interviewing one Sailor Ferris, a senshi brought into the fold of the Negaverse. Thank you again for letting me do this." He gave her a small smile. "Do you know any details about your life before you became a part of the Negaverse? Anything that others have told you? Or is it entirely a mystery?"
Eos Galvus
Sailor Ferris was patient, beaming merrily despite her concerns she might not be as helpful as she wanted, but, she didn't let it get her down. Instead she beamed brighter.
"Oh, it's not a problem! I'm happy to help!" And she liked helping others on her side, it felt nice, especially since she was probably not the most useful senshi for two years. But... Not being alone helped. It helped a lot. When he asked about Before, Ferris cocked her head thoughtfuilly, and rubbed her chin before motioning.
"I was told I was brought to the Negaverse from order, actually. I don't... Have memories, but I have faint impressions. Feelings. But I don't remember anything..... I... I do have the sense that senshi on the opposing side are in danger, but that's the best I have."

Qusongite listened, nodding along a bit. And crossed his arms. "In danger? That's...quite an interesting thought, considering what I've been told." Perhaps it was worth looking into. "Do you know who brought you into the Negaverse? My mother and General Cavansite brought me in, though...when I tried to see where the latter was nowadays, I found nothing." He frowned, and wondered if, perhaps, she'd been lured over to the other side somehow.
Eos Galvus
"Who brought me?" Ferris was thoughtful again. She'd only been in the Negaverse a few years at best, but the number weas... She forgot merely because she didn't track it, and then motioned, head tilting.
"I believe I was brought in by General-King Axinite." She liked him! He was nice!.... Well, she thought he was. Anyone whom could save a senshi was a good person in her book and she was grateful for it. And then she blinked.
"I hope she's alright...." That sounded... Bad. Really bad.

"I hope so as well." He sighed, then smiled. "But you! You've met one of the General-Kings! I am a bit envious! I've heard about them, but I've yet to meet one of them!" He clapped softly. "I'm glad he could bring you into our fold. So...what kind of abilities do you have? I've a small idea about the abilities I myself have, and what I could have, if I apply myself correctly, but I've no idea what senshi do."
"...Well... Magic, I suppose, is my best answer." Ferris admitted, head tilting again in contemplation. "I personally reserve it for when I really need to use it, so I try... To not use magic? I mean.... There's other ways to fight, right? So I don't -- really think to use it as often as I could."
"Is there a particular reason you don't use it? Or you simply just...don't think to use it?" His voice wasn't harsh or judgmental; he was simply curious. And gentle. He had the voice of someone with a great deal of patience. "There's no shame if the latter! There are times I forget I have GFuel now and go to run down to the cornerstore to grab an energy drink. Since they were my old standbys to get through high school and college."
Eos Galvus
"I really don't think to use it often." Ferris admitted, and coughed awkwardly, rubbing the back of her neck a moment. "I think I've used it once on a mission, but it really didn't seem to offer much help. Much better than... I guess it's not overly helpful? I'm not sure...." She never tried it on a person, actually. Should she have?.... She had no idea.
Qusongite let out a thoughtful little hum. "Well...perhaps I might be able to help? What is it that your magic does? That might be a good place to start on figuring out if you should be using it more, or if you should be focusing more on physical combat."
Eos Galvus
"I..... Errr......" Ferris thought, blinking a moment before answering awkwardly, and tilting her head.
"I think it's a stun... I'm not sure I've ever used it on people. I'm not the most... Hm." Ferris looked for the right words, and motioned. "Well, I don't experiment with magic. I haven't thought of it really."
"I think it's a stun... I'm not sure I've ever used it on people. I'm not the most... Hm." Ferris looked for the right words, and motioned. "Well, I don't experiment with magic. I haven't thought of it really."
The lieutenant blinked, then turned the recording device off and tucked it back into his sleeve. "Would...you like to learn about it? I'm certain if we set up a proper test, maybe find some back-alley creep who deserves to get his a** kicked anyways as a lab rat, we could test it out, see what it does. How does that sound to you?"
Eos Galvus
"...I suppose, yes." Ferris motioned. "I never tried it. Though aaah... I spent... A long time... Lonely...." And she was red, coughing.
Qusongite took in a sharp breath, then frowned. "...You won't be alone anymore. I'll make sure of it." His frown changed into a soft smile. "I'll look after you."
Eos Galvus
"....I..." Ferris paused, then smiled and hugged him, tightly. "Thank you. I appreciate it. It... Means a lot."
To have someone else looking after her felt... Nice; something she suspected never happened, but... It was nice, and she hugged the lieutenant again, hiding her face. She... Was just glad to have wonderful people in her home.

He chuckled, hugging her back. "Why don't we go grab something warm to drink, then see what we can find tonight? And you can tell me about yourself more."
Eos Galvus
"...I'd like that. Very much." Ferris nodded. "I... Thank you."
