2025 Star Festival Prompt The Fireflies (6) : In the warm summer nights, little glowing lights begin to bob and dart through the city. Fireflies are mating, so this isn't uncommon in itself; in the past few days you've probably seen hundreds of fireflies. What makes these lights so unique is that they seem to change color; you might see a blue one, a green one, a red one. They flicker randomly, and something just seems off with them. If you come into contact with one, you will find yourself with a strange electric jolt. They cannot be caught, and will flicker away if you pursue too aggressively. This isn't the first time they've appeared in Destiny City, but no one's been able to tell where they came from or where they're going. No matter how quickly you chase them, they always seem to disappear before you can find any answers.
What was more was that even as the Dark Mirror Senshi watched, some of them were changing different colors right before his eyes. That reminded him of how Tinker Bell would change bright red in the Disney movie when she was really angry. Could the fireflies have been changing color based on their emotions, too? He doubted it, but it was fun to think about nevertheless.
Curious, Sinope had tried to catch one or two in cupped hands, but the few times he’d actually thought he’d been successful, they seemed to disappear. They seemed to give him an unpleasant electric jolt when he actually came into contact with them. Were they some sort of creation of the Negaverse? A tiny type of youma posing as fireflies? Or were youma or chaotic energy or something else affecting them? It was hard to say. Regardless, he couldn’t help but be entranced by their beauty.Fiction1119 ((Please let me know if you’d like me to change anything!))

Kitomyx ((Your all good! Tho the statement loops back around rofl If I need to tweak anything just let me know ^_^ )) She had been told about how the city got some time. Strange events. Odd sounds and sights. The entire range of ‘spooky’ and ‘kooky’. Mara had just always taken the abnormal situations the city saw either at face value or as ‘fake news’ but that was now all in the past. Now she was part of it. One of those costumed people running around making a mess of the city. So when she had seen articles and even videos about the colored changing lights, the multicolored flickering fireflies, she decided to actually check them out. It wasn’t maybe the best idea to go alone but the dark haired woman made the decision anyway, knowing that if anything really truly went wrong, backup was only a message away. Besides, She mentally rationalized as she approached one of the areas with the colorful bugs, What was the worst that could happen? I die? Been there, did that… forgot to buy the t-shirt.The senshi slipped into the darkness of the park only to come up short when she saw, and finally sensed, another standing there playing with the glowing bugs. A senshi but not like her. Stronger yes but… different. She tried to pull up the information from the depths of her brain but wasn’t exactly finding the answer. Mara just knew that the male currently frolicking through the grass wasn’t ‘Order’ as far as she could tell. The real question was, was he a friend or foe? Would she really need to call for backup?

Sinope yelped at having been jolted yet again by another firefly he tried to catch with gloved hands. He thought it might have been easier to catch them powered up, but that was not the case. As he cried out, a Gold Star Charm fell from his clothes, so he quickly reached down and picked it up before looking back to the fireflies.
Just as he was watching the flickering little menaces get away from him, however, he sensed a pair of eyes on him and a chaotic energy signature that wasn’t a Dark Mirror Senshi’s. Curious but cautious, he whirled around to find a lovely young woman with long black hair and blue eyes dressed in a black senshi outfit that had light green, dark green, and gold accents. His hazel eyes widened in surprise, but she hadn’t attacked him yet, so that was something. She seemed to have an uncertain sort of demeanor, so he grinned his usual, boyish grin, put his star charm away once more, and raised a hand in greeting.
“Good evening,” he said, folding one arm in front of his waist and one arm at his back as he offered her a deep, sweeping, dramatic bow. When he straightened back up, there was a mischievous glint glittering in his speculative gaze, but it was playful rather than malicious. “I’m Sailor Sinope, Dark Mirror Senshi of Slyness. Can I help you?”
He wondered if she knew of his court or, if she did, what she thought of them, but from her seeming uncertainty, it didn’t seem so. Unless maybe she knew of them but just hadn’t recognized him as one. After all, he hadn’t been around in quite a few years and it took him some time to recognize exactly what she was as well. It was the dark voids of holes at her forehead and on her chest that finally made him realize the answer.

Well… he was polite at least, even if that bow was comical and mocking. Her blue eyes had narrowed as he pocketed something, taking in the dark colors and filmy fabric of his own uniform, and dear lord what was that hood, suspecting he was hiding something. Not knowing that it was just one of the silly little charms like the emerald one she had been given. The uniform was definitely not Order, since they seemed to enjoy bright colors. The suspicious eyes definitely slipped into a full frown when the senshi introduced himself. It wasn’t so much a frown of distaste or distrust but one of confusion. ‘Dark Mirror Senshi’ was a term she had heard before. One she had been given information on, but for the life of her she couldn’t come up with any answers right then. It was right there too, just out of her mental reach. “That depends,” She answered cautiously drifting closer but stopping well outside the normal range for a fight. “Friend or Foe?” Not that Mara expected a truthful answer. It was not logical for this ‘Sinope’ to answer truthfully. They did not know each other. They were not on the same ‘team’ as it were. Hell, he likely wasn’t even affiliated with the negaverse in any way, outside of the aura that was similar enough to her cousin, but just different enough that she was unsure. A small little flash of light right by the side of her face, had her flinching back and slapping at whatever it was only to hiss in shock and pain when a zap of electricity whipped up her arm. The lightning bug had just been at the wrong place and time when it decided to flash its special little blue light. Flickering to life just on the periphery of Mara’s vision. Close enough to startle, and a strange enough color for her to assume to be an attack of some sort. Going off this erroneous idea Mara reacted violently… by rushing towards the male, swinging a fist as hard as she could for his face. Might as well try to get him down and out as fast as possible if ‘foe’. No point in drawing out a fight especially since she wasn’t all that good at it yet.
