Welcome to Gaia! ::

Adira didn't drop the cat, but instead she just stared at it. And stared at it some more. And a little more. Finally, the girl snapped out of it a little bit. She didn't even care that there were claw marks in her favorite trench coat, or the fact that it was dirty and had cat hair. She no longer cared about the random crazy girl who had tackled her. Adira didn't care about Rainbow Brite and her ribbon rainbows either.

What she did care about was the fact that the cat in her arms had just opened its mouth and started talking to her. This was the strangest dream that she'd ever had.

But then the cat said it wasn't a dream. Which was...strange. "I...don't even know anymore. Clearly, I've gone crazy though so I might as well just go with it." It made sense to her. If Adira was now crazy, she might as well go with her delusions and move on with her life, regardless of its weirdness. Her Father would be disappointed though, which made her a little sad. Oh well.

"My name is Adira, pleased to meet you." She held out a hand to shake a paw and then realized how ridiculous that was. Apparently, She showed manners to everyone, human or not. "So how am I supposed to help Rainbow Bright? Last time I checked, I'm not capable of throwing rainbows at people." Not real ones anyways. She could probably find something and draw a rainbow on it? But Adira wasn't sure if that would help or not. In the meantime, pale blue eyes stared at the cat, waiting for answers.

"No, you have not gone crazy... and I would suggest you call her Sailor Iris instead of Rainbow Brite. Iris has a temper."

The spotted cat wriggled a bit in Adira's arms, and rather suddenly seemed to tumble out of her hold. However, it had been done on purpose, for when she landed, ********* was no longer just a simple cat. Her form simply seemed to sprout into that of a silver haired girl. The cast that would have been on her right arm simply seemed to vanish, and the arm itself just dangled to her side uselessly. With her good arm, she took off her hat and leaned forward for a performer's bow.

"It is a pleasure, Adira!" Two feline ears twitched on the top of her head before she promptly put her hat back on as she straightened herself out. With her hat back in place, the cat-earred girl held out her left hand right in front of the girl.

"Now, I want you to watch my hand for a moment. I've got some things to give you." It almost seemed as if ********* was going to perform some sort of magic trick, especially considering the outfit she was wearing. With her palm flat, she closed her pale green eyes for a moment.

This was Sailor Perseus. The guardian cat concentrated on this fact.

Something felt weird. One moment, the blonde felt perfectly normal, and the next, something unexplainable seemed to overwhelm her. Her eyes glanced towards the direction which that girl and ********* had escaped. The redhead hadn't been mentioned her name, so her words somewhat went ignored.

However, one thing didn't go ignored when it stuck firmly against her cheek. "The f*ck?!!" The sailor scout hadn't heard the arrow whizzing towards her, but with her free hand, she soon enough found a plunger-tipped arrow on her face.

"Oh god.... really? REALLY?!!!" As she plucked the arrow off of her face with a slight POP sound, the blonde began to laugh. Not a quiet or polite laugh. It was a deeply amused laugh.

The senshi was laughing at her? Well Sass could understand why but no one laughed at her. Instead the lieutenant ran straight at the senshi. She cared little for the random attacks that could be thrown at her, right now she wanted to beat her to death just because she couldn't talk and was laughing at her.

No one laughed at her.

No one.

She jumped at the senshi and in some way if it had been slowed down would have looked rather cartoon like when a crazy person jumps at a normal person. Sass looked insane, maybe it was the red hair or maybe it was the fact that she really didn't like anyone laughing at her. Either way she wanted to fight now.

That was certainly more of a magic trick than she had been expecting. Adira was good with slight of hand, but she wasn't good enough to just make things appear out of thin air with no movement whatsoever. Her eyes got a little wider with the cats 'magic trick'. She wondered for a second if the cat would be able to teach her how to do that- it would be a great showstopper!

When the cat girl (god, that sounded bad!) mentioned that these things were hers, she was a little shocked. She was getting gifts now? Well, things were certainly weird here. She took the pen and the phone out of ********* hands, looking them over. The phone she tucked into the inner pocket in her trench coat. She'd look over that later, of course, if it actually existed. Adira wasn't still quite sure that this wasn't a dream.

Taking the little pen, she looked it over. It was mainly white and bronze, with a few hints of blue and a very pretty mint green color. She wasn't sure what to make of the orders though; did she follow them? What would happen when she shouted Perseus Power Make-up?

There were lots of questions she didn't have answers to, and that was something that Adira did not like at all. Regardless though, it was a gift, and how could you say no to the gift-giver? It was impolite, and she really did try to not be impolite. The pen felt natural in her hand. Adira lifted it in the air, unsure quite why she did so.

"Perseus Power, Make-Up!" She said it with as much conviction as she could. And for a split second, nothing happened, and then she felt very very silly. And then her clothes disappeared and everything got worse. Where had her clothes gone?! The girl could feel the blush across her face burn its way down her neck. However, it was like she was caught up in something, and couldn't move. The transformation happened fairly quickly leaving the newly awakened Sailor Perseus standing in some dirty alley looking absolutely horrified and shocked.



But something felt oddly right about it. She blinked at the cat in front of her a few times. "What the hell just happened?" She looked down, horrified to find her clothes replaced with the sailor uniform that was very similar to the ones that popped up in the news every now and again... the ones on the news had belonged to terrorists and hoodlums though. "Where are my clothes?" She took a step forward, tripping just slightly. These heels were at least a half inch shorter than her others, and the adjustment felt strange.

"You have some explaining to do, cat." Despite her protests, something felt oddly right about the uniform. Its like her body had been aching to wear it again for as long as she'd been alive, but she'd only just realized it now. It was like having a craving that you couldn't figure out until you had actually eaten the food you were craving in the first place. Adira wasn't as angry as she should've been. But she was still very, very confused.

The silver haired girl stood there and watched Adira transform into something new, much like she always did when any other senshi transformed. She had seen it so many times before, but it never really got old. When the transformation was complete, her hat came off, once more making her cat ears extremely noticeable. She tilted forward with another bow, this time saying "It is a pleasure to meet you, Sailor Perseus!"

After the quick bow, she stood upright and placed her hat back on its proper place. "Most certainly I have explaining to do, but now is not the time, Perseus!" She ran a little ways forward before she paused at the end of the alleyway. "And please call me *********." Making a hitchhiker's thumb, she gestured out of the alleyway towards Iris' direction. Pale green eyes were on the commotion for a moment before she turned to the dark-haired senshi. "Well, it looks like Iris did what I asked... come on, I have something to teach you!" With that, she bolted out of the alleyway towards Sailor Iris, a bell accenting her movements with the quiet patter of bare feet against the concrete.

The Senshi of Rainbows snorted. "Oh, ya wish that was all I had!" There was a rather large grin on her face as she thought about just cutting off a finger or two from this Negaverse loser just to get her point across. Heck, even a swift punch to the gut would probably shut this kid up about that being all she had.

Yet, the stupid cat had told her to not do anything except use her ribbon. God damn, stupid cat.

Speaking of the cat, the telltale sign that the cat was approaching managed to reach her ears. Golden eyes flicked around to find...

...wait a minute, what the hell was that?! Certainly, Sailor Iris was familiar with the jingling bell, but who the hell was this silver haired girl?!! Her jaw dropped for a moment, just completely dumbfounded by the sight.

The silver-haired girl approached, and literally stood in front of the tall senshi, pale green eyes focused on the golden ones, and her left hand lifting up under the scout's chin.

"It isn't going to do you any good to stand there gawking, Iris!" was the gentle scolding she'd receive as she tucked the blonde's chin up so the mouth was no longer awkwardly open.

"Oh f*ck?! ********* style="color: gray">A single finger placed itself on Iris' lips. "Hush, or you'll give away the surprise!" With a smile and a giggle, she turned back to face the Negaverse Lieutenant first, then to Sailor Perseus.

"It's time for the main attraction!"

Sass heard the bell and lowered her arm to see what it was, which she regretted, the light was so bright but she saw the girl with the cat like features. She remembered Serandite mentioning about Ophelia looking like a pretty girl but this girl looked like she belonged in the circus. Well she would have something to report at least. Maybe they should make a cat diary... or not.

"Look are you guys going to fight me or not? Getting somewhat bored here..." She really should learn to shut up, she also hadn't noticed the other senshi until she heard her voice and then she really wished she had shut up. Two senshi and a cat against her? Maybe she wouldn't live to see Serah again... nope that wasn't going to happen so she started wriggling, stupid idea? Probably but she wasn't about to just stand there!

And things continued to not make any sense at all. She wondered again vaguely if someone had spiked her drink with LSD at the show. Certainly seems like something you would see on a 'trip', or at least that's what she thought anyways. Regardless, the girl tried to make sense of everything by splitting it into parts.

There was a magical girl with cat ears, who could make pens and cellphones appear from thin air.

There was a crazy red haired girl, possibly an escaped mental patient, who wanted to 'make her slumber for eternity'.

There was another senshi suited sailor named Rainbow Brite Iris who threw...rainbows at people.

And then there was her. Sailor Perseus, who up until a few minutes ago had only ever been Adira Perses. Nothing else.

Her little exercise hadn't helped at all. She was still just as confused as before. ********* took her hand, and she followed blindly, closer to where she didn't really want to be. "My what?" She nodded. Perseus had no idea what a 'Kiss of Illusion' was, or how she did it or summoned it or whatever. "Uh, yes, please do show." The girl nodded at the cat, silver blue eyes following her intently.

If only she had both arms perfectly operational, the silver haired girl would have clapped both hands together. Instead, she simply let go of Perseus' hand and let out a simple "Excellent!"

Once more, she spun around, walking up to the Negaverse agent who was complaining bitterly about this whole ordeal. "Now, you need to make sure to do exactly as I do," she called back casually. Soon enough, she was face to face with the redhead. Quickly, she attempted to grab the girl's arm that was free with her functioning arm.

"Now, now! Don't play hard to get" she said coyly before leaning in to plant a big old smooch on the redhead's lips. It was nothing that lingered too long, and it was just a simple lip-to-lip touch.

Iris had to cough in the middle of this display, letting out an obnoxious "LESBO!"
