"Aluminite," he responded, almost automatically. What harm was there to give a name of a pseudo-identity? He was getting better at remembering that James was a different person, a different identity and Aluminite was another. It was easier once he began treating Aluminite as though he was one of his characters, which probably made it easier to be confident and bolder.
"What is the Black moon and the dark mirror?" He asked. He heard bits and pieces of the Dark Mirror court but since the alliance had fallen and his captain not keen on them, he knew little of them. "Why the Negaverse for you?"

"Ugh, those are hard questions," She huffed and rolled on her feet.
"Do you know why the senshi are all here? Or why magic is an underground and secret thing? Because a long time ago the Earth and the Moon had a war. I think. That's what I gather, anyway, from the gaps in your history. And it all died and went away for a while. Well on the other side of the mirror, in another dimension in spacetime, there's a Black Moon with its own Earth who never had a war, and magic never died there," She grabbed both sides of er purple overlay and gave it a wave.
"And that is where I come from! That is where all the original mirrorwalkers came from, actually. Unfortunately this universe and it's wars were... hard. They're all extinct, except for me..."
And her flouncy behavior dampened immensely.
"To add insult to injury, one remaining survivor decided to usurp our queen and style herself our ruler, and made a pact. Now she creates strange little doll creatures out of the shells of White Moon senshi that imitate our dead comrades. It's disrespectful, and grotesque. That's what the Dark Mirror Court is. Just parasites that think they're real boys and girls crammed in the mind of dead senshi. If they were properly alive and functioning corrupt senshi they would have features like Negaverse senshi and not imitate things like mirrorwalking."
She was just flat out frowning now. "I don't like them." But apparently the frown was short lived, because the next statement was much more chipper. "I'm rather fond of the Negaverse, though! Negaverse and their order counterparts-- knights-- operate on a different wavelength than the White Moon senshi. I don't really get White Moon senshi, they're... they're weird. I can understand your magic, though. I can relate to it better. Plus, the fact that a Negaverse organization doesn't exist in my own universe makes you a novel anomaly and you must be documented if I want to gain a better understanding of why you exist."

"No, not really," he responded, with a blank expression.
If he was honest, he knew very little about the whole war despite being recruited into it. He knew that senshi weren't supposed to be here, and that without their presence the negaverse would not have risen again (it reminded him of the travesty that was Twilight and the 'werewolves' shifting because of the vampire presence.) "I understand that magic and these magical secret identities shouldn't exist, shouldn't be real but it's not outside the realm of possibilities."
He was a writer at his core and to believe that worlds like Tolkien's couldn't exist would be unrealistic. The lores had to come from somewhere, the ideas had to have some basis. Magic could have been real at some point, why not again now?
"So you're from another universe." Okay, so maybe things could get a little more unbelievable. "What happened to the mirror?" Why couldn't they go back. Her answers only created more questions. "They're fake. They're fake parallels." The realization dawned on him, blossoming across his expression as he said it.
"What is my magic like?"

"Reincarnation, mostly. The senshi are recycling their souls, but the planets are all dead," She said, waving one outstretched arm over her head to the stars over them.
"Earth is the last place that sustains life, so they're born here now."
But he was asking questions about the mirror and the parallel universe and these answers were closer to her heart, so she didn't dwell too long on the White Universe and its stars.
"Because our queen was the only one who could open it and she died to end the coma epidemic of 2010," She stated dryly. "Ares didn't handle it well-- well, I mean. None of us... really handled it well." She grabbed one arm with the other to rub her shoulder and glance around.
"They're fake, but they're not so much... well they're not really alive?" She said with a forced laugh, still trying to keep up her high energy and manic persona and failing terribly. Even her ears drooped.
"Parallels need a body. Your physical self can't cross through the barrier, only your soul can, so you need a host. Ideally we coexist in our physical bodies with our host, but when the DMC converts... there's not two, there's only one? I know for a fact you can kill your host, I have every reason to believe this is the case."
His other question took some thinking. "Chaotic knight magic. Earth magic. Old magic."

Something about the things the cat-girl was telling him left him unsettled. The idea that senshi, who he'd been taught to believe were outsiders, invaders, didn't have homes and that's why there were here...well it made him sick. Why were they pushing them out, trying to eliminate them?
That hardly seemed fair.
Not that it really justified an invasion, but if they weren't actually invading and just seeking a place to live, then things were more complicated. He didn't want to think about it, so he focused on what she was saying about her parallels.
"I imagine it would be hard, if you were close." And he imagined they were, she sounded attached, even after her queen's death. "That sounds horrific," he muttered, casting his gaze down. He shuddered involuntarily. "Parasites who go too far."
There was too much information to process about a faction he knew nothing of. "Chaotic knight magic? Are you saying we're dark nights?"

"Well... yes," She stopped and tilted her head at his question. "You didn't know? If you leave the Negaverse and give up the Chaos that powers your current for you would become a knight. A Negaverse officer is just a knight plus Chaos."
She knitted her brow. Realgar had already known that. In fact, at the time, he had more information than she did.
Now she was wondering where he had gotten it. "What else would you be? don't they tell you anything?"

"Why would I know that?" He asked, face scrunching up in confusion. No one had told him much about any faction except his own and the senshi. As far as he understood it, the negaverse were the good guys and the senshi were the bad guys. And that the negaverse had once allied with the dark mirror court, though his captain had never seemed pleased about that tidbit of information.
"It's probably not something we need to know, so why tell us," he mumbled, making excuses. He wondered if Labyrinthite held that knowledge and withheld it from him. The thought unsettled him.
"I, uh," he stopped, backing away from Zirconia. "I think I should go." He stammered quickly, turning and bolting off before she could tell him anything else utterly confusing.
