Welcome to Gaia! ::

The boy in front of her seemed to have manners, and he also seemed intelligent. He actually put forth a rather convincing argument; aided by the fact that it was short and to the point. Her silver blue eyes watched as the boy readied another smoke pellet, and she would ready herself too. The human Adira had been taking self defense courses for the past two weeks, and the Sailor Perseus was feeling a bit cocky about it.

"It seems as though my opponent has manners, how becoming." The lieutenant probably hadn't realized it, but he just made something click solidly into her brain. Fighting she was new at, but dancing? Dancing was something she had been raised to do. Keeping up with his rhythm, she mirrored his movements, rotating around the imaginary circle with him. She bent her knees into a quick curtsy, keeping eyes on the other boy and keeping her feet untangled.

"Etiquette dictates that the male partner makes the first move." It was the socialite version of a dramatic kung foo pose with 'come hither' finger motions. Sailor Perseus liked to think that her's had more class. She hoped that she wouldn't have to use her attack, but she would if she absolutely had to. In the meantime, playing keep away from the crazy negaverser was high on her list of things to do.

"Pervert? Why do you say that? What do you th---no. NO. You cannot be serious! You're....serious? You think I'd..?...EWWW. Just...ugh, UGH what the hell is wrong with you? TOTALLY not interested, not even the tiniest little bit, just EW."
He really had to keep himself from gagging. It was hard. Somehow he managed.

Scheelite did in fact let her go, but it wasn't because of her swatting or her threat of checks (seriously what -was- that?). It was more for the fact he was absolutely disgusted at this whole pervert idea and needed a moment to step back and collect himself.
"Okay first things first, -no-. Second thing, this is like...a fight? So what exactly do bad checks have to do with it? You're weird, you know that? Just plain weird."

Weirdness aside, he had reached to pull the guitar off of his back and ready it like a weapon. Sure she might just be talking about checks, but maybe she really did have some kind of power to watch for? It was better to be ready, just in case!

Her eyes watched him closely, noting his movements. Even though she didn't want to use her magic, her attack required close range. Dancing was close range, and it gave her an advantage. It gave him an advantage too, but Perseus wanted to see if she could even the odds a little. Carefully she stepped forward to take the offered hand, laying her owned gloved hand in his lightly.

"A true lady never refuses an offer to dance." With her short heels she still landed above him in height, but not towering over him. Probably about 4 inches at the most. She allowed the Lieutenant to lead from this point, still eying him suspiciously. There was no music, no beat, nothing to really dance to.

She had noticed the movement from before, the slight tucking of something into the cuff. Sailor Perseus hoped that she'd be able to nab whatever it was out of there when this strange dance begun.

At least he smelled nice.

It was possibly a very good thing that Scheelite had failed to notice his partner dancing with the other senshi. If he had he'd be flipping his s**t right about now, and the entire battle would be ruined. Really, Zink dancing with a senshi. Zink never danced with him, so what gives?!

Luckily, he didn't notice.

"Because I'm not into girls. DUH."
Schee huffed and rested his hands on his hips, glaring back with his own obviously annoyed look.
"And...lemme get this straight. You are the senshi of wealth and yet you fight with pennies? ....Are you sure they did't jip you out of better powers, cause it sureeeee sounds like it!"
That annoyed look had faded into an amused smirk. Hell even that faded away into outright laughter. Wealth? Exploding pennies? Riiiiiiight.

"At least my guitar is prettier than anything -you've- got. Practical too! Besides, there's nothing wrong with Lisa Frank stickers. They are colorful and awesome. Hobos, however, are not. I am totally not a hobo man, I got more color than five hobos combined. Sheesh, do your eyes work right? Or did you get one too many exploding pennies stuck in em?"

She stared at his face, memorizing it along with the name. Lieutenant Zinkenite; bad guy that dances. He actually danced quite well. Perseus had expected it to be awkward; but he hummed the music and the simple dance steps worked well. "Sailor Perseus, Senshi of Illusion. Charmed to meet you." She smiled approvingly.

Her hand slipped on his, and she readjusted her grip. Or at least, that's what Zinkenite would probably (hopefully) think. In reality, her neatly gloved fingers had slipped into the cuff, neatly plucking out the small grey pellet that resided within. As soon as she felt it, she knew what it was; the smoke pellet that they had been barraged with earlier. It was a useful find really. Just as smoothly as she had taken the pellet, Sailor Perseus moved her hand back to brush a lock of hair out of the way... and to safely deposit her find into the rigid space between her collar and neck.

It was slightly annoying, irritating the back of her neck with its presence, but nothing that couldn't be ignored with some willpower. "I must admit, I am rather surprised at how eloquent you are." The pair made another turn, following the rhythm of his humming.

"I'll regret not making fun of you -sooner- maybe. Seriously man, just think about it. Wealth isn't really pennies, pennies take forever to build up into WEALTH. You -totally- got gypped, you might want to go back to the Senshi power handout station and ask for a refund."
Scheelite rolled his eyes at this whole regretting it speech. Really, like he was totally afraid of exploding pennies. Hell even if she -could- explode pennies, they'd probably just be tiny explosions right? It wasn't like she was the Senshi of Atomic Bomb pennies. Now that might have been a problem.

Now, however, she was going too far.
"Pathetic? Bottom of the barrel? I will have you know I'm -not- at the bottom. I've totally done useful things! Things you wouldn't believe because it'd blow your mind. I am, afterall, -awesome-. So there! As for what uses my guitar has..."
And here he was moving, swiftly bringing the guitar around in an attempt to hit her with it.
"How about THIS one?"

"Well I am glad the Negaverse allows for originality." She was flattered. A bright spot among senshi? Now didn't that just make a girl smile. She let out a small one. "I'm flattered." The dance was interesting. It was a simple version, a somewhat toned down waltz. Regardless, it was better than punching each other senselessly in the face.

"No, I'm afraid not. My illusions are much more mysterious." It was a dumb answer, but it was all she could really think of to say. Sailor Perseus didn't want to particularly show him either.

Her thoughts were interrupted by Sailor Rosalind shouting something. It sounded a bit like some kind of attack, though she wasn't sure. The rather loud noise of change being shaken in a jar permeated the air. Her eyes left the lieutenant's, searching out the sound.

Her eyes went wide at the sight. Coins falling from the sky and pelting the taller male. THAT was her attack? Why was it so much cooler (and with no physical contact, nonetheless!) and easier than hers? She turned from the boy, momentarily forgetting that he was a threat as well, and made a move to go help the other senshi.

The toe of her boot got caught up on some unseen root on the ground, causing her to stumble. In her confusion, she turned to the boy with a shocked face, thinking that he had tripped her. "Why on earth would you do that?" And then she remembered. Evil, evil, evil. And currently, her new senshi friend was also fighting someone bent on killing others.

Confused as to what to do and how to react, she took a step back towards him. It was now or never! Steeling herself, she leaned in and placed her perfect red lips on his. Pulling away only to whisper "Kiss of Illusion." It echoed in her mouth the same way the other had.

Take that *********! She could kiss people on the mouth. It helped that the boy was smart and cleanly though. It helped a lot.
