At the sink, she'd already splashed water on her own leg to loosen the cast that had formed. This lotion was nasty! The bowl was mostly full, Perseus all but dancing in impatience. If she was stronger, she would have just broke the plumbing and let the place flood. The girl head Rosalind talking. Turning blindly, she noticed the monster was stalking the girl, and the girl was about to walk into a walk. "Rosalind, STOP." She grabbed the bowl from the sink and all but skated over to the other girl. "On my count I would move quickly to your right." The youma had heard her talking. Turning towards her, it squeaked halfheartedly, launching a few more gobs of lotion at her. A large one hit her square in the stomach, making her oof, which the others mostly whizzed past without incidence. "Move!" She waited only a few seconds before blindly throwing the water out. It hit again, melting the monster down to about a third of its original size. It was like a blob now, with a rubber duck head sticking out of the goop at the top. With the way she'd splashed it, there was still a little water in the bowl, hopefully enough to clean off Rosalind's face, assuming she'd been able to move quick enough. Tearing her eyes from the youma, she looked around for her partner.

"I don't take orders from a rookie soldier," Rosalind barked, "you should be following my orders!!" Waltzing forward without a second thought, Rosalind's face met the wall before her. It didn't hurt so much as it was embarrassing.
"I meant to do that, obviously," Rosalind said flatly, "a distracting maneuver I thought up just now, of course." She heard a loud splashing noise near her, and continued, "oh, when I actually ask you to douse me, you miss?" She was grumpy-- blind and had walked into a wall. In front of a newly-awakened senshi, no less.

Perseus raised an eyebrow in Rosalind's general direction at her response, even if the other girl couldn't see her. She vaguely thought about letting the other girl go blind for a while, but just wasn't that mean, plus, the help would still be nice. "Did you think that maybe you were walking into a monster or something?" She skirted the blob, which at the moment seem more into squeaking depressive noises than attacking. "This time, I actually hit my mark, thank you very much." Instead of tossing it at her, Perseus wet her glove instead, and reached out to Rosalind's face, attempting to wet the lotion off her face more gently. After all, she'd already splashed the other scout enough. "Here, this should help."

"I thought that I was doing a distracting maneuver, just as I said." Rosalind was very matter-of-fact with Perseus in her tone, and felt around for the Soldier of Illusion. "Youma are not that intelligent, unless you get one made of brains or something disgusting, so it is not that hard to throw one off." Continuing to stumble around, she heard a very continuous squeaking in the distance. It sounded angry, which must have meant it had been weakened, or attacked, or something unfavorable. "See? My technique works well, while I stumbled around blindly, my attack must have done something to it!!"
Rosalind laughed triumphantly, and finally felt Perseus before her. "Oh, you hit the youma? Well, then... Well, it could not have been accomplished without my aide, to be sure." Rosalind felt the lotion of her face soften and scrub off, and could finally see! Things were a bit brighter, but the youma was smaller-- "what did you do to it?!" Rosalind asked with astonishment, looking over the newer-senshi-than-she with wide eyes.

Adira rolled her eyes at the mention of 'distracting maneuver'. It seemed like she was going to have a hard time arguing with this girl. Either way, that was not the issue at hand. It didn't take too long, or too much water to get the lotion off of the girls face. She was fairly pretty, but her makeup was smudged a bit from the water-lotion-water combo. "I doused it with water, from the sink over there. It melts it down- I think all the lotion is just stuff around it, and we have to get rid of everything to...dust it? Yea." It made some kind of twisted sense, anyways. The sailors eyes scanned the stores, looking for the source of the squeaking. It seemed like it was gorging itself in the anti-bacterial soap isle. Hey...at least it was germ free? That was something, at least.

"Yes, yes, what an elementary youma," Rosalind said matter-of-factly, "I only failed to mention everything you said because... Well, I wanted you to figure it out. Yes." Everything that flapped out of her lips was a lie, of course. Rosalind was actually very impressed by Perseus' astute discovery. It would have taken Rosalind forever to find something like that out.
She watched as the youma imbibed the soap as if it were a delicious pomegranate juice, or something, and decided to take action against it. Her vision was not as strong as it should have been, though, because she had to squint her eyelids to prevent too much light getting into her now-sensitive pupils.
"I can get one last attack out," she noted, "but I won't be very useful afterwards-- I'll be very, very drained." Never before had she attempted to use three attacks against one creature, but she had never faced a youma such as this one, either. "Unless you have a better idea," she said, "I think that's the only way to go." While she would blast it, Perseus could douse it once more to wash everything away, leaving only its true form.
"Maybe we can dust it afterwards? That will require hand-to-hand fighting, though, if I cannot use my sailor attack."

"Well I guess than thanks for the learning curve." Perseus didn't particularly buy what the other senshi was saying, but didn't particularly want to argue while there was still a job being done. The creature was foaming in the corner. Fortunately for them, even though it had gained more body mass, the added soap wasn't as substantial as the lotion had been. It was a big foamy mess, which looked like it could be washed away in another stream of water. "I think I do have a better idea! But, we'll still need that attack of yours." She walked briskly over to the sink, trying to do so quietly. Perseus didn't want to alert the monster just yet. She grabbed the second bowl she had dropped the first time on the way back. At the sink, she began filling both of them. "We'll douse it from both sides, and then you can use your coins to dust it when its down to its smallest form. Since it seemed to absorb the blow before, the less gunk it has around it the better." The girl was winging it. She had no idea if it was actually going to work, but Perseus didn't want Rosalind to exhaust her powers for nothing. The girl didn't exactly know how draining powers worked, but she didn't want anything bad to happen to her because of it.

Rosalind didn't like the little hint of sass in Perseus' voice, but decided to dismiss it (she did purse her lips slightly, though!). "You're quite welcome," she said flatly.
The youma, imbibing all sorts of soaps, was growing in size once more. "Ughhhhh, this one is so annoying," Rosalind moaned, "I have half a mind to just leave it here." She wouldn't really, but it did get on her nerves. "I suppose I can handle a coup de grace," Rosalind told Perseus. "But if I die it's all on you." (She was kidding but was hopeful she wouldn't actually kick it)
As Perseus filled the bowls with water at the demo table, Rosalind kept an eye on the youma, so as to make sure she wasn't blinded once more. Soap would burn, unlike lotion. "Ohhh, yes, that makes perfect sense," she chimed, "I have taught you well in such a short time!!"
Rosalind grabbed one of the bowls after it filled and waited for Perseus' signal.

For the most part, Perseus tuned out Rosalind's whining about the youma. After all, she had a job to do, and for now she was focused on that. The sailor grabbed her own bowl of water, and began heading towards the other side of the youma, when a particular comment made its way to her ears. I have taught you well in such a short time!! It took almost all of Adira's socialite training to keep Perseus from rolling her eyes. The comment made her blink instead. Sailor Rosalind was teaching her something? Well, that was news to her. Shaking it out of her mind physically, she moved into place. Her gloves readjusted their grip, one hand on the bottom of the bowl and the other snaked around the rim. Looking up to see Rosalind in place, Adira shouted. "3...2...1!" The girl let loose her bowl of water, hearing a satisfying sploosh and a squeak of rage in reply. It seemed, at least, that her bowl had hit its target.

Thrusting forward along with Perseus (almost tripping forward in the process), Rosalind splashed the youma with a splash of water.
Immediately after the downpour met with the toiletry creature, everything dissolved away. Nothing was left but a menacing rubber duck that quacked around in frustration. "Ugh, now I'm going to have to bounce you like a bad check," she told the youma, "Sterling Silver Volley!!" Immediately after, a downpour of coins began to blast the evil toy into submission. It was dusted thereafter, but not before letting out a final squAAAAAAAkkkk!!!!
"And that, Perseus," she said, "is how you defeat a youma."

Perseus watched a bit sadly as the thing let out its last squeak, much like a villain would in an old cartoon hero show. It was a bit disappointing really, and the girl couldn't tell whether or not she was sad or happy it was 'dusted'. "Uh, I guess thanks for the crash course." Rosalind had been helpful, after all. If it wasn't for the other senshi, she might have not been sure what to do at all, and it was useful knowledge if she ever ran into another beasty. Whether or not she could bring herself to physically beating it to death (apparently, her powers weren't much help at finishing the job) was another matter entirely. Perseus would cross that bridge when it came. She looked at the store around her. It was a mess. Lotion, soap and bubbles were all over the floor, bottles and displays tipped all over the place, water running out of the sink. The senshi moved over to turn the tap off, not wanting to add to the damage more than she had. "What do we do now? Its such a mess. Do we have to clean it up before we left?" Cause that would suck. She looked expectantly at the fancy senshi in front of her.

"Uhm, no. We're sailor soldiers, not maids." Rosalind shuddered when the thought of being a maid came to mind, and quickly ousted the idea out of her head. She flipped a ringlet behind her shoulder and looked over all the mess-- honestly, she felt bad for the poor soul who would have to clean it up. "No, our duty is done. We have dusted the youma." She spoke in quick fragments, as if she was on the verge of being out of breath, but trying to retain composure.
"Now, let us go, before the media shows up, or law enforcement," Rosalind sighed and made her way for the entrance. Perseus seemed like a very well-to-do and prodigious sailor soldier, and Rosalind enjoyed her company. Maybe it wasn't a coincidence they met again, but she didn't really believe in fate. "So, uhm, Sailor Perseus..." Rosalind didn't look her in the eyes as she spoke to her, and continued, "I am going to be patrolling around Destiny Tower soon..." Rosalind trailed off as she remembered that she had left her bags behind some bushes, but continued, "would you care to join me?"

"Oh." She blinked a few times, looking over the destruction again. "That works for me I guess." She felt a little bad, but this was better than the workers getting eaten by their product, right? So at least they had something good going for them. Perseus didn't envy the employees though. Perseus followed the fancy senshi carefully, heels clicking and splashing a bit as she walked across the soapy floor. She threw one of the front doors open. There was a bit of a crowd looking at the store, and several cop cars trying to get through the people. It seemed like a good time to disappear gratefully. Her next impulse was a bit silly, but anonymity did strange things to people. She kissed two of her gloved fingers, and 'threw' the kiss to the on lookers in a peace sign, followed by a wink. It was fun being anonymous. "I would love someone to patrol with Sailor Rosalind." She smiled. Her first senshi friend! Plus, she would feel more protected with the company, especially considering that Rosalind had an offensive attack that was a good compliment to her own distracting one. "Give me a ring or a text sometime." It was implied on her senshi phone, after all, they had scanned each other last time. "We should probably part ways though." She gave the other girl a smile before trotting off to the cover of the alleyway across from the commotion. She turned waving at her new companion. "It was nice seeing you again! Thanks for the crash course." And just like that, she was gone. Transformed somewhere discreet and now blending in with the crowd of gawkers who could not believe someone had blown them a kiss peace sign. Tonight had been a good night, and Adira Perses went home with a smile on her face.

Rosalind watched Perseus incredulously as she made her little gesture towards all the onlookers. How inconsiderate of her!! While Perseus could just stroll off and de-transform all willy nilly, Rosalind had shopping bags to carry, which were a little less inconspicuous. Scooping them up from behind the shrubs, she simply nodded at Perseus' acceptance, and only nodded when she thanked her for the crash course.
With her bags in tow, Rosalind dashed off and away from the store-- far, far away from it. When she was a safe distance away, she decided to revert back to Elegancia and called one of her father's workers to come pick her up.
