-Pegasus and Flora, simple enough, names from mythology if she recalled correctly. She nodded, more curious in their actual powers than names, but now wasn't exactly the time, she could see the worry mirrored in the two.-
"I actually didn't get specifics." -She stated, genuine regret on her face that she couldn't offer more after the two had let her in and all.- "But she's pretty beat and bruised. A broken arm... very weak physically."
"She did however have the energy to fight with Astraea and joke around though. She asked me to 'tell Rea she's a stone cold hottie', whatever that means." -Aurora was suddenly happy she'd be given the mini message to pass along. For anything to lighten the mood before she continued from bad to even more bad. It'd been hard enough on her, but obviously... obviously these were friends of Charys.-
"The thing is...."
"I kind of got the impression that.. senshi might be dying." -She paused, letting the gravity of actually saying it outloud sink onto her.-
"Astraea was pretty clear in the warning that the Negaverse was looking for senshi, and that they would kill them.. us."

Eve's warm hand was welcome, although she could feel it shaking, her sweet roommate obviously worried. Rea was trying to push it all back, trying to keep a straight face, a strong disposition, although her face paled a little more as she listened. Very physically weak. Broken arm. the blue-haired girl had seemed more and more beat up every time she had seen her, no doubt the Negaverse's doing.
Charys, what were you thinking?
Blue green eyes lifted to Aurora's at the mention of her name, the words bringing a blush to her cheeks. The message should not have come as a surprise, coming from Charys. She was sure she was trying to reassure them, make them worry less about her. Truthfully, it only made her worry more. If she needed to reassure them, there was probably something very, very wrong.
"That's nothing new," She replied with a scoff, bypassing the mention of dying senshi entirely and squeezing Eve's hand reassuringly. Miraculously, she managed to keep her voice from cracking, swallowing the raw emotion caught in her throat and replacing it with her usual dryness. "If they weren't so stupid, I'd actually be worried. They don't have two brain cells to rub together, and I'd be surprised if they didn't squabble over it."
She usually wasn't into fake bravado, but it felt warranted at the moment, with the mood so dour and depressing.

Oh, oh, oh no. There was youma out there that was worse than one they had fought together? Or maybe it was because Charys had fought it alone; what was Astraea doing? She wanted to wring her hands in anxiety, but allowed her hand to remain on Rea's, gripping it with worry.
At least it sounded as though Charys was mentally alright; to be able to quarrel with the guardian cat meant she was fine and would recover, right? She crossed her fingers. Apparently, including the autumn thing, this really was the worst time for a senshi to awaken. The threat was getting bigger and more terrifying. Why, oh why...
"What is the Negaverse like?" She didn't mean to sound oblivious, but Eve really had no clue; and she figured it would be best to get information from two senshi.

-She was a little surprised, and confused by Rea's reaction, watching her softly for a moment, before setting it aside as worry.. or perhaps some kind of coping technique. Eyes shifting back to Eve as the question rose, she crossed her arms mildly, thinking outloud.- "The Negaverse are the ones controlling all those monster youma running around."
-She yet to run into one herself... which kind of dampered the answer she could give to the other girl, but she was a pretty smart cookie, pretty good at putting the pieces together. She could guess well enough from what pieces she'd been given.- "So they are the ones responsible for hurting and killing civilians, and apparently some senshi as well now..."
"Astraea said they're very well organized. That they often travel together, work together, and are incredibly dangerous. She said that we all need to work together if we want to stand a chance. If we want to win." -If we want to survive even... she kept those last few words to herself.-

"They're the worst kind of idiots -- the ones who will do anything to see you die."
The monotone which she used was just barely laced with a disconcerting air, as if she were brushing off the topic of said idiots. As if they were nothing to be bothered with. Which, really, was rather stupid. In any normal case, Rea would have told it like it is, not exaggerate it either way, make it any more or less than what it was. Now though... now was Charys, a Super Sailor, in the hospital... things were looking bleaker than she really wanted to think about. Not only that, but she was worried. She tended to be a little rash when she was angry.
Taking a deep breath, she extended a hand towards her bed, offering Aurora a seat.
"She's right. It's hard enough battling one lieutenant on your own... but if they're starting to work in pairs..." She paused, remembering how the civilian she had been trying to save had turned out to actually be a negaverse lieutenant in disguise. She didn't even bring up the possibility of them working in larger groups than that, "Don't listen to a word they say. They will try to screw with your mind. They'd love nothing more than to get your starseed to give to their mysterious sadistic leader."

"You're new to this too, aren't you?" Eve said, shifting slightly to lean on Rea comfortingly. The warmth of the other girl helped to calm her nerves; Eve always liked being physically close with people, though sometimes was befuddled as to why people didn't like others leaning on their shoulders. It was rather obvious that Sailor Polaris had just been awakened too, as she seemed to be putting the pieces together from what she had been told. Something Eve could infer from what Astraea had too, told her.
She glanced towards Rea, wondering why the other had seemed so hostile at the talk of the Negaverse. Perhaps it was because she already had a run in with them, something that she suspected didn't turn out too well. The Negaverse killed, Astraea had warned her. It sounded intimidating, but it was true. "Then we need to form groups. Strategize. If only Astraea would linger around long enough for us to talk to her about it..." She trailed off, thinking. Maybe the guardian cat would be still around the ward where Charys currently resided. Hopefully. "It feels like we're recruited in an army and we have to fight a war. In skirts."

-She listened softly to the elder girl's input, assuring in her head 100% finally that the negaverse were indeed human... something capable of tricking and trapping you. They were probably people in disguise like the senshi were even. Scary... and all the more happy it'd made Aurora that she'd been so hush hush about her secret.
She was less than happy to admit her inexperience to the other girl, but she nodded finally.- "Funny that huh? It does beg the question why we were chosen though... not like.. a real army."
"Anyway" -She added, brushing the edges of her skirt lightly, beginning to feel the ache of standing still for so long.- "I'm afraid I don't have much else to offer at the moment. But I wanted to let you guys know that I was here. If you needed help or anything at some point."
"If I hear anything else that seems useful I'll make sure to bring it to you. And you guys know where you can find me." -She waved her hand lightly, pointing probably in the wrong direction. It didn't matter, all the Crystal girls were in the directory, she'd be easy enough to find now that they knew her name.-

"I think Astraea's on the run," She replied, wondering about the grey guardian cat herself. She hadn't been that helpful during her awakening either. Really, Rea had just accepted that she was important and much too busy to spend her time babysitting them. It had only been recently that she had considered that maybe she was running from something. Considering she seemed to be the only guardian cat to be awakening senshi, perhaps that was the reason.
She didn't, however, have any theory as to why they were in skirts. That was a mystery.
Not for the first time, Rea gave an internal sigh, thanking her lucky stars that she had Eve. Relying on each other, it was much easier to get things done as a senshi, as well as a lot less dangerous. And then there was Charys too. She knew just how bad the negaverse was, even if Eve and Aurora didn't yet. She prayed they learned quickly and didn't find themselves cornered.
Lifting her eyes to Aurora, Rea nodded a thanks, her gaze following the other girl's hand in that general direction. It was a little strange, thinking about other senshi living in the same dorm, or perhaps even the same hall that she and Eve did.

"Astraea is really vague." The blonde grimaced. "Although there wasn't much time for her to elaborate when I was awakened, of course." They had to worry about the huge youma and the police; and there had been simply no time to demand a full out explanation to the talking cat that had given her a pen that would allow her to transform.
"On the run?" Eve repeated, looking rather confused. Were there so many senshi to awaken? She rather hoped so; having a lot more senshi on their side would be more reassuring. Strength in numbers, right? Or maybe it was the Negaverse Astraea was running from. Was she in trouble?
So many questions, so little answers.
"Thank you, Aurora." She dipped her head slightly, giving the other a grateful smile. "Watch your back while on patrol." Who knew what kinds of youma lurked around Destiny City? Who knew what damage they could do? The Negaverse was mysterious and intimidating.

-Astraea had said she'd keep in touch, and Aurora had accepted that, not really noticing the thing that the other girls had. Was the cat in trouble? Certainly that was no good. She was like.. their only information source.. awakener of reinforcements. If she needed protection.. well, that was something to add to the list of 'things to do'.
As they both offered their silent goodbyes, he gave her own mild lift of her hand as well, making her way towards and through the door she'd come through just a few moments before.- "You guys take care too." -They seemed close, she kind of doubted they go out alone anyway, which eased any nerves that bit at her. But that was important stuff to know. You had to keep an eye on your secret friends and compatriots when it seemed the whole world was against you.-
