So the stress relief game had been a complete and utter bust, but Tristan wasn’t…completely letting that stop her. Especially not when she should be home writing an essay…it was too nice to be home writing an essay.
Honestly, it was always too nice to be at home writing an essay but…whatever.
Feeling the aura of a page, the corrupted senshi moved to investigate, and when she saw that it was her partner in the strange leaf teleportation, she couldn’t stop herself from grinning.
“Unbeleafable! Guess neither of us died, huh? That’s pretty good, don’t you think?”
She certainly thought so, and if this page didn’t well…
“I never got to introduce myself, I’m Sailor Tristan.” Chatting with the enemy was no way to earn brownie points…but every enemy that was turned into a friend could be turned into a new recruit…maybe. If she tried hard enough. And anyway, it was worth a try, was it not? She should be working hard at everything she did…not just gaining energy, but gaining new members.
“I’m the Negaverse Senshi of Trust!”

Casablanca blinked, and it took her just a second to place the face and voice, but--
"Hey! You're that Senshi that went jumping into the weird portal leaf piles! Cool, it didn't take you somewhere awful!"
It was genuinely kind of good to see her again, actually. Made Casablanca feel better about not stopping her from going charging off into what might have been danger. But here she was, okay, and chatting, and not....doing...nefarious Negaverse things, so maybe if Casa could keep her in a conversation fro a while, she'd be able to prevent the doing of Nasty Negaverse Things.
"I'm Casablanca, of Cosmos," she said. "....Not that I really know what that means, but whatever." She shrugged her shoulders, like she hadn't just admitted to a giant glaring gap in her understanding of this whole magical...thing.

“A mood if I’ve ever heard one, Casablanca…” Tristan’s nose wrinkled slightly. “Can I call you Cassie or Cass for short? There’s way too many syllables for my tongue to be comfortable with using in every day conversation.” She shrugged and made another face before shaking her head. “It’s a neat name though, I’ll give you that much!”
It made her want to go watch old movies and eat popcorn and just…relax next to a crackling fireplace but…
Truthfully, that could also be due to the wind that was blowing tonight too.
“Yeah, I’m glad that I didn’t go somewhere awful too, but I have been super careful when walking, there’s too damn many leaf piles around here and I haven’t tested any others but…I’m not really in the mood to go for another joy ride to goodness knows where.”
Hesitating for a minute, Tristan gave a small smile. “You made it home okay too then, I’m going to assume. Yeah?”

"Cass is fine," she acknowledged--her name was pretty long, and a little unwieldly, but a shorter form was always nice to have as an option. Also, it was kinda like they were friends, if Tristan was calling her by a nickname.
"Yeah, I made it home fine, just, you know, took the long way." She laughed, shaking her head. "I've definitely not stepped in any leaf piles since, though--hard same on not wanting to go for another joyride! Might not be so lucky this time."
The thought made her feel a chill that had nothing to do with the wind. Who knew where this kind of magic could lead, ugh.
"Have you seen anything else weird, since then? Or just the leaf pile transporters?"

“That is such a mood, I’ve been avoiding them like the plague, honestly. Been trying to avoid anything that’s spooky or anything…ended up in some crazy…life sized board game that. I really…” Tristan shuddered. “It was kind of awful? And I’m quite sure that I almost died so. That happened. I don’t recommend that you pick up any dice that you find on the ground right now? No matter how pretty and how shiny it may look…just…don’t.”
Grimacing, she gave a slight smile. “It’s really not worth almost dying over, like…I got to keep the dice but…pretty sure I’m going to have nightmares from the bats and the almost drowning and…all of the other things that I wasn’t able to repress with any skill. What about you, how have you been? Like, other than what we’ve already spoken about…anything spooky happen to you?”
For her sake, Tristan honestly hoped not. Nobody needed to deal with the spooky…crap that this city was offering. At least if they had to, they should get some candy out of it.

Casablanca blinked, and frowned. "Life-size...game board? That sounds really crazy, damn. I'm glad you made it out of that okay."
And she was. Unlike the rude, shitty Lieutenant who wanted her to just...hand over her energy, Tristan was nice. Friendly. Fun to talk to, for the most part. Sure, they'd had a little scuffle at first, but that was nbd, really. Stuff happened and all.
"I haven't run into anything weird myself, but I'll keep an eye out for weird dice. Do not want to have my own crazy experience."

“Good thinking! It…I mean.” Tristan twisted a strand of her long hair around a finger and looked thoughtful. “Like, if I wasn’t busy drowning or being eaten, it would have been pretty cool…I guess. And it’ll make for an interesting story but…just don’t do it. Zero out of ten, I can’t recommend.”
She watched the page for a moment and gave a little smile. “So, now that the warning’s out of the way. Why don’t you tell me about yourself? Like, how long have you been doing all of this, what’s the strangest thing that’s happened to you?”
Grinning, Tristan watched the Page and tried to imagine how she’d look as one of the Negaverse…they could be real friends then.

Casablanca winced. Yeah, that just sounded like a really, really bad time, and like something she'd have to do her best to avoid if she could.
So, for sure, no touching random dice. Good advice anyway, probably, in this city.
But the questions made her cheeks get red, and she scuffed her foot against the ground. "Uh, I started...last December? And I think the craziest thing was...probably getting sucked into a weird shadow reality between worlds, this summer? It was nuts, there were these weird gargoyle monsters we had to fight...but I got out of there pretty much unscathed, so I'm pretty proud of that."
That was probably her best story, for sure. Well, that or the reindeer.

Tristan paused. “...This summer? You mean when you were like just. Yoinked away from everything into this literal hellscape? You were there too? Oh my God Cass, I had an eclair and I dropped it and it was…well at that moment it was the worst thing that could have happened, that eclair was the best.”
The expression she wore was utterly tragic for a moment, but then she shook her head, alarm on her face. “Damn! The gargoyles are back. I ended up fighting with one not too long ago, that wasn’t…I don’t recommend that either! In fact. Let’s just all go home and stay inside. And…not go out in this city. Ever.”
Making a face, Tristan shuddered. “...Or, at least until Halloween is over.”

Casablanca perked up, a little. Sure, it sucked that someone else had been throguh the same stupid bullshit battle that she had, but someone else had been through the same stupid bullshit battle that she had!! Good and bad.
"Oh my god, it sucked so much, didn't it? I'm so glad to be out of there and to hopefully never have to deal with something like that again. Dark and gross and those monsters..." She shuddered, unhappily. "Ugh, are they really back? Another thing to keep an eye out for!"
Apparently there were a lot of things to keep an eye out for.
"You know, that's not a bad idea. Just don't go outside, as much as you can manage." She sighed. "Ugh, but I've got stuff to do." Work, class....none of them would go on hold for magical shenanigans. Unless said shenanigans destroyed the mall or the campus or something, she supposed. "But nothing I don't have to do for the rest of the month, I think."
Which did not include magic. She had to do that, it was important. Her destiny, or whatever.

“There’s not too much time left between now and Halloween, I think we can do it…like, eh. Raid a candy store, stock up and just…lock yourself inside with your television and your school books and bam. Safe forever. Or…until the candy runs out or the spooky season ends.”
She gave a grin and reached out, tugging on a strand of the page’s hair. “I hope we get to see one another again, and that we both survive Halloween, stay safe, avoid dice and gargoyles and…holes in the ozone layer or…whatever that was.”
With that, Tristan gave a small wave and teleported, giving a little shout just before she vanished.
“And leaves! Leaves!” She knew that the warning was needed but…hopefully it was heard.
