The tailless feline let out a slight yelp of a mew as she was rather suddenly removed from shoulder and stuffed into the jacket. It honestly wasn't the first time she was stuffed somewhere. Ellie had been known to stuff the manx into a backpack before. Not exactly the most dignified hiding place in all honesty, but ********* had never been one to complain. The current hiding place she was in wasn't too bad, with the exception of the faint scent of sweat. It was warm, and a place she could easily snuggle up against.
Once she was given a hint of fresh air, the feline knew they were in the proper destination. She practically seemed to hop out of the coat and landed on the rim of the toilet bowl. It was a solid landing, but for a moment it almost looked like the small cat was going to fall into the toilet bowl. Fortunately it was not the case. Her green eyes once more looked straight into the blue ones opposite of her.
"Alright... we should be safe enough to tend to some matters really quickly..."
It was clear to the blonde as to who had been talking to him before, now that he had a good look at the cat who was now flat out talking to him.

....The cat was really talking to him.
Her maw was moving along with the words he was hearing. The cat. was. talking. to him.
This was perhaps the most ******** up dream he'd never had, but usually his dreams never felt so... real. But what else could it be ? Cats didn't talk !
Xavier couldn't help but stare a little blankly. He was in the restroom of a fast food restaurant... with a talking cat. What the hell.
He almost pinched himself, just to make sure, but then refrained in mid-movement. "Alright then. What's next ?"
Next she will probably tell him he was the chosen savior of the universe, or something equally as crazy. This was how these dreams went, right ?

She tilted her head slightly to the side with a smile curling upon her maw. His face was easily telling her how surprised he was. "Well, I have a couple things for you... I guess I shouldn't do this over the potty though." The cat hopped off the lip of the porcelain bowl and landed on the ground nearby. For a moment, she stood there. Then, like a spring-loaded toy, the cat rather suddenly jumped up and over into a nearly mechanical backflip. Nothing graceful.
Within the spot she jumped over, something glowed for a moment or two before it fell and clattered to the floor. Having finished up with such, she leaned down and nudged the objects with her nose.
"These are yours. Put the phone away for now. You don't need that right away. However, please take this this right now." Her velvety nose nudged what looked like a dark slate blue pen. "Take this, and then shout out with feeling 'Themis Power, Make-up!'"
Her eyes were up at the boy's eyes again, as if making certain he was still looking at her. "With feeling!" she firmly reminded.

Xavier watched the whole thing - her leaping, the objects clattering on the floor. Thankfully, no one was coming into the restroom, or else the female voice coming out of the closed stall would... probably lend them in trouble.
He pocketed the phone almost mechanically, and then looked down at the pen, swirling it in between his fingers a bit. Such... an odd pen. It didn't really look like a real pen.
"Themis power... make up ?"
Clearly, he could do better than that.

"Clearly, you can do better than that!"
Even for scolding, her tone was much too friendly to really come across as serious. She sat her haunches down and looked at him expectantly. He was going have to try again.

And clearly, the cat wouldn't give up. He stopped fidgeting with the pen, and sighed. Weirdest. damn. dream. ever.
"Themis power, make up !"
This was better, and the powers that be seemed to deem it so. And something happened, indeed. Suddenly there were many lights, and sound waves ? Gone were his jacket, remplaced by a much longer coat that materialized seemingly out of nowhere, the tailends forming a wide circle around him the transformation continued it's happening.
The young man that landed on the restroom tiles with a soft clattering of his boots... wasn't quite the same one that had been there a few seconds earlier.
"What." This was the only thing Sailor Themis had to say about himself. "The hell."
CRAZIEST. DREAM. EVER.

There was a scratching sound. It was the rather distinct sound of something scraping against metal. Most likely in the ventilation system. Whatever it was, it really wanted this starseed badly.
For a moment, the feline's pale green eyes glanced up, as if able to see the monster she had spoken of.
"I swore we would have had more time than that!" Picking up the pace on this whole awakening thing, the little cat returned her sights to the senshi.
"Alright, Sailor Themis. I need your assistance really quickly. I know this is going to sound really weird, but I need you to tie my ears down against my head... hmmm... probably with toilet paper, if you don't mind!" There was a sense of urgency to her tone that almost made it sound like a matter of life or death. Well, as "life or death" as this strangely cheery cat could make things sound.
"Come now... stop gawking for a moment and assist!" She set her paw against the tile as if to try and accent her point.

There was this really.... inhuman sound coming out of the vent. Shhhhhhiiii-
Themis might have been more inclined to argue had it been not for the previous sound - instead, he just ripped a long sheet of toilet paper and attempted to cover the cat's ears the best he could.

"Come now, make that knot a little tighter" she urged before he finished. The feline honestly looked a bit silly, like one of those children that suffered from a "toothache" and had to tied their jaw firmly closed, but she did have a reason for this.
"Thank you! Now, let me give you a heads up. In order to defeat this youma..." She paused and noted "...That is what the monsters are called..." With a nod, she continued. "...you need to let it get somewhat close to you. It needs to be within a 2 meter range of you."
Why did this strangely seem like crazy talk?
"I will be with you, assisting. You need to be brave for a bit though, okay, Themis?" The feline smiled sweetly, despite how goofy she looked with her ears tied against her head.
A long thin claw seemed to stick out from the vent. Maybe it was a pale finger? Something seemed a bit off with it, whatever it was. It looked like bone rather than flesh. In all honesty, it looked like something straight from a horror movie as the strange skeletal fingers began to claw at the vent.
Only difference was the fact it was managing to progress, making easy work of the metal grate in the way. Each attempted clawing motion caused the metal to give way more.
"I promise, you can handle this," ********* attempted to reassure.

Themis complied, tying the knot a little tighter before standing up again, just as the metal vent started to give. Had he been a cat, fur would have stood on ends at that very moment. His instinct screamed only one thing : RUN, RUN LIKE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLL~ It manifested into ducking as far back in the stall as it was possible for him to do.
It was a good thing that this cat seemed to convinced of his abilities, because he wasn't. "What am I supposed to do about this ?!" Themis all but yelped.

It was a bit harder to hear the senshi's voice, since her ears were now flat against her head. Yet, she could still make out the muffled words (thanks to the boy's panicked voice being a tad louder than normal speaking tones). In response, he received "You can do your duty as Sailor Themis, Senshi of Noise, that is what you can do about all of this!" Since the senshi seemed to be a bit too busy hiding, the feline shook her head slightly.
"I suppose it is up to you whether or not you listen, but I am not going to run away when I need to be strong. If I ran away from every youma that showed face in the city, more innocent people would die, and I couldn't handle that." With a smile and the simple nod of her head, she then padded forward and under the stall door to greet the youma head on. Rather calmly, she sat her haunches down and waited.
It two more attempts before the youma managed to bend the vent to its will. And out it crawled of the vent. It was rather large considering its animal-like basis, but still small enough to still fit through the vent. In all honesty, if a spider had a skeleton instead of an exoskeleton, this might have been what it would have looked like. It was a bony creature with many legs, and as it moved forward, all of its joints seemed to rattle. It began to approach the small animal in the open, clacking its jaws slightly in a curious manner.
This wasn't what it had been chasing.

All that information was just kind of swirling in his head and never quite hitting home - Senshi of Noise ? Weren't senshi like... one of those gang ? Saving people ? What did it all mean ?
But then that crazy, crazy cat just walked out of the stall to greet the... the thing. Youma, he reminded himself mentally. Was was she doing, this thing was just doing to eat her !!!
Teeth clenched, the lock of the stall was pushed back, and Sailor Themis came out as well. This... was the scariest god damn thing he had ever seen. Like a good damn spider on crack.
He didn't even like spiders to begin with.
Still, he stood here - which made him just as nuts as the cat, really - and he stared at the youma, taking up whichever battle-ish pose he remembered first from the many action movies he had watched.
This had been what the youma had been looking for.
"Come on." He called out. "Feel the noise !"
Ugh, what had processed him to say that ?

It wasn't so much the fact she could hear him exit the stall. It was more the fact that she could see his shadow against the tile as he approached. "Ah, so you did decide to join me, Themis!" She let out a small purr, even during a serious battle such as this.
The Youma's jaws clattered louder and it approached a cautious few steps. No, no, this little animal was not what it wanted at all. However, the senshi behind the animal, that was something extra special. Oh yes, this meal would be one to remember for a long time.
"When I tell you to, point towards the sky and shout out Themis Noise Amplification... you should know what to do from there..."
The jaws opened up wide, and rather suddenly, the Youma charged.
Anticipating the delay in reaction time and the attack fully forming, ********* shouted out "NOW!" Her ears wanted to twitch in anticipation of what was going to happen now.

There wasn't really time to think. Not at all. This thing was going straight for him oh my ******** god if I die in my dreams do I die for real ?!
And then his hand shot up. "THEMIS NOISE AMPLIFICATION !" He yelled out, loud and clear, even if it was fueled by extreme panic.
The air rippled in a circle around him, which then slowly started to expend - amplifying and mixed any and all ambiant sound into a very distracting, noisy cacophony.

The one thing about sound and noise was the fact that, if it was loud enough, once could feel it. ********* fur, for a moment, was standing on end when the sensation rushed across her. Another good aspect about this whole ordeal was they were in an room that echoed quite nicely.
The Youma itself seemed to skitter right into the bubble, and then rather suddenly seemed to stop in place. Something was off.
With her ears pinned to her head by her toilet paper headband, the cat then did what needed to be done. At the top of her lungs, she began singing a silly little tune.
"DA NA NA NANANA NA NA NA NA DA NA NA NANANA NA NA NA!!"
Wait, wasn't that a circus tune she was singing out? Regardless, the combination of her loud singing and the mere echoing of the sounds off the tiles in the room were enough to make the whole ordeal painful on its own. Yet, with Themis' assistance, it was an even more effective tool than one could imagine against this Youma in particular.
The creature's bones seemed to rattle, unable to stand the mere vibrations of all the noise through its lacking body. It was times like this that it wished for some meat on its bones. If it was possible for a skeleton spider to look like it was in pain, this youma was definitely a perfect example of what it would have looked like.
