Mystras was settling into things, for the most part. Her new friends and a little bit of Mauvian meddling had gotten her a new gym job pretty easily. She was figuring out the magic side of stuff, too, which mostly involved having a special outfit that she could pull out of the void that made her go stronger and faster. She also had a little stick she could wave around, although if she got into a fight she was probably going to end up relying more on her fists. If Pendour and some of the others were anything to go by, things were going to end up getting more complicated over time, as she got stronger, but that was something she wasn't going to worry about until it happened. There were still a few loose threads she was trying to tie up, though. For one thing, there was the scribbled note and doodle that she'd left herself about some lady. The note had been in her subspace stuff, which made Mystras think that the lady was magical, but that was all she had to go on. It meant she was keeping an eye out for people when she powered up and went out around the city, and when she got that feeling in the back of her head that meant someone else magical was nearby, she started paying attention. It didn't turn out to be a lady, but when the other knight came into view, Mystras didn't even care. "Bro," she breathed. This wasn't a mermaid knight or a desert nomad looking one like the knights that she'd met so far. He was wearing green, Jupiter green. As she got closer, she even saw some of the symbols on his outfit. "Are you a Jupiter knight? I am, too."

“So you are,” Belmont said; he’d turned to face her when her signature felt like it was right on top of him, almost like he’d expected her. When you could feel where someone was, it sort of took the mystery out of it. She wasn’t Chaos and that was the important thing.
He grinned at her and offered his hand. He still seemed fresh and energetic; even if he’d been out for a while tonight, he hadn’t run into any trouble so he didn’t have much to show for his patrols except for a good mood.
“I’m Belmont, nice to meet you. There’s more than a few Jupiter Knights running around out here, but you’re the first one I’ve seen tonight. You found anything interesting around town, or just me?”

"Nah, you're the most interesting thing I've found tonight for sure," she said with an easy grin. She took the offered hand and gave it a hearty shake before she took half a step back and crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Which is probably a good thing. Like, not that fighting those monsters isn't a good workout, but sometimes it's nice to get a break, y'know?" It had also been drilled into her that she was probably in a little bit of extra danger from the Negaverse since she'd been a part of it, however briefly, and she was technically a traitor. "But yeah. My name's Mystras. I just purified, which, I dunno if that's the kind of thing you're supposed to, like, tell people." There it was though. "Anyway, right back at 'ya with the nice to meet you!"

Belmont’s brows lifted just slightly when she said she was purified, not because he thought it was an inappropriate thing to say but just because he was surprised at her honesty.
“Well, I’m glad it sounds like an easy night. I don’t know if I feel better or worse on the nights I don’t find one. Better, because it means there wasn’t trouble to find. Worse, because I worry that it’s just out there and I didn’t find it. Ah,” he shrugged but it didn’t seem like he was letting the concern weigh him down.
“But maybe everyone’s leaving the Negaverse, and that’s why I can’t find any trouble?” he suggested hopefully, but the crooked grin on his face implied he suspected it was only a dream.
“How’s life been treating you since the switch?”

"I think everyone should leave," said Minyulite with a shrug. "Best I can tell, it's some kind of pyramid scheme where you get taken advantage of, but also they're also doing all this other questionable stuff?" Her recruitment was kind of a blur. She didn't remember any faces, but she was pretty sure that someone had been trying to her that it was some way to expand her business. Obviously that hadn't worked out. "I dunno why anyone would be into that, bruh." She rolled her shoulders back, narrowing her eyes a bit at the horizon. "But I guess not everyone sees it like that." The Negaverse seemed quiet tonight, but they were around for sure. "But anyway, if you don't find trouble, at least it means the area you're looking out for is safe, yeah?"

Belmont laughed at how casual she was; he might have only just met her but she didn’t feel like a stranger. It was easy to be around her–probably for more reasons than just their shared planetary ties.
“Yeah, I guess that’s true.” He didn’t have enough strength or reputation to let it go to his head; it’s not like the Negaverse was avoiding him. If their paths crossed he had no doubt that it would end in standard combat.
Either he was lucky or unlucky, it was hard to tell.
“I kind of got that impression about the Negaverse, too. A lot of people doing the dirty work and taking all the risks–and for what? …Nobody really has that answer, any time I ask. Just ‘for the greater good’ but any time they talk about it, it sounds like they’re repeating what they heard. Not thinking for themselves. I don’t know, I don’t want to judge. But I am, a little bit.” A lot.
“What about you, you're a Knight now! Does it feel like the whole universe has opened up yet or--oh, have you been to your Wonder?"

He still seemed a little nervous about the possibility of having missed something with the Negaverse. She wondered if that was just the way he was, or if everyone started worrying about shadows after having been in the war for a while. Some of the other people she knew seemed like that, too. "I haven't actually had any, y'know, deep conversations with any agents since I got out," she said. That one person she'd ended up fighting hadn't been with the Negaverse at all. Some kind of mirror senshi? Then the other encounters she'd had had been pretty short. "But if they're doing that kind of stuff? If they're stealing energy, or worse? Yeah. You might have to judge a little bit." The question about space was something different to think about, but she shook her head. "Haven't gone yet, but I think I will. My sibling turned out to be a Neptune knight. They took me up there, and it was gorgeous. I don't quite know what to expect for mine, though." She tilted her head. "Have you been up there?"

“To Jupiter? Yeah, of course. I’ve got a castle up there, it’s in pretty rough shape so any time I spend up there I’m trying to fortify it. Honestly, either it’s repairing itself or someone’s up there fixing things while I’m not around because I had this whole wing of windows that were busted out and on my last trip up they’d all been fixed.”
He seemed more excited than perplexed or annoyed by the situation, but why shouldn’t he be? It was going to be a pain to get all that glass up to Jupiter, and he didn’t even know if anything on Earth would meet Jupiter’s storm standards.
“It’s pretty rainy up there. A lot of winds and bad weather, so just be careful when you go up. But, you really should. There’s something, I don’t know exactly how to describe it–there’s not really words that do it justice?–But there’s something just, transformative, I guess. There’s this sense of awe, it’s not like anything I’ve ever felt before. But the sooner you go up there, the better. At the very least to know what you’re working with. You get your magic from your Wonder. I’ve heard of people unlocking new abilities and getting stronger just by spending time up there.”

"Unlocking more magic sounds great, bruh," she said. "You would think I would know how to fight. I do kickboxing and stuff at the gym all the time. But then some senshi comes in and there's magic and I don't know what's going on." How were you supposed to fight back against that? It was something she was still figuring out. She would take any and all suggestions. Including space. "So, yeah. I'll have to look into that sometime. I don't mind storms and s**t." Castles sounded interesting. She'd not quite been one of those people who were all into fantasy and knights when she was a kid, but if there was a castle or whatever on Jupiter with her name on it? Yeah, she'd take it for sure. "Probably not tonight, though. I've got to get back soonish, actually. But it was good to get to talk to you about stuff."

Belmont clicked his tongue and nodded; even with the self-defense classes he’d taken, there wasn’t much to do when faced with unpredictable magic. And monsters.
They didn’t all play by the laws of man.
He did his best to survive. Every day was a new day to learn something.
“When you get up there, look for your signet ring. Every Knight I’ve ever spoken to has found one up there. It’s kinda key to keeping in touch with people,” he said, holding up his hand just enough to show off the silver ring he wore. “I’ll send you a message sometime, Mystras. It pops up like some,” he gestured vaguely, “magical scroll, I guess? It’s great for staying in contact so if you find your ring, send me a message. But I’ll take you up to Belmont if you want. I should probably head back soon too so I won’t even offer for tonight. We’ll catch up again soon, yeah? Jupiter Knight should stick together.”
All knights should stick together, but when you were walking a new path it was always easier to have a group to have your back.

"Yeah, I'll have to make sure to find that so that I can send you back a message," she said. That sounded like an important thing to have. If she would actually remember to use it was a different question, but she could try to deal with that. For the time being, she wasn't gonna strain her brain too much thinking about all that. Not when the other guy was saying that he had to go, too. "Maybe, like, a smiley face? That'd be cute," she said, but she was already waving and starting to turn back towards her apartment. "Anyway, see you around, bruh," she said. "It was great to meet you!" Happy to have met another knight, and one who had given her space advice on top of everything, she gave a chipper wave and then started to walk away.
