"Wh - " Eurydike sputtered for a few seconds, like he was really and truly thinking about it. Then, almost indignantly, hands flailing, "No it's not?! That doesn't make any goddamn sense! Upsidedown yes is like - I don't ********' know what it is but it sure ain't that!"
Wow she totally bought it. He grinned to himself before making a face again at babies. "Babies ********' ruin lives, and their stupid lil' socks can go rot in hell, " he declared with a sagely nod. Not that he was speaking from experience or anything.
Although really, his mom's life probably would've been a lot easier without him. Don't go down that road again Logan. It was a little late, though; the familiar little tug of guilt had pressed down on his chest, and even if nothing outwardly changed, it was a bitterness that tasted familiar in the back of his throat.
"You've gotta, uhm, " he waved his hand in the air again, like somehow it'd do the talking for him. Surprise surprise, it did no such thing. "Be strong enough or somethin' to accept it. Then the cat like, does its ********' thing an' pumps you up. - Butterfl - Thraen could probably tell you more about the mechanics or whatever. He's a smart guy, an eternal senshi." After a long, deliberate pause, he added begrudgingly, "I guess Celsus could tell you too. But he's a knight - an' kind of an a**. A super a**. Granted that might be kinda exclusive to me, " and he was more muttering to himself at that point, crossing his arms over his chest and trying to look like he didn't care much one way or the other.
Maybe I wanna look like you, had the super senshi looking at her like she'd just grown two heads, or maybe even slapped him, his eyes wide enough to see white around all sides. Then he grunted, narrowing his eyes as his gaze dropped, taking a long drag of his cigarette. "Don't ******** around, " although his cheeks were burning intensely hot. ******** Olga. Really. Who the ******** in their right mind would ever want to look like him?
At her realization though, he just grinned, snickering to himself.

"Yeah, it is!" Sedna bantered with a grin, flailing her hands back at him as well. "Did you also know that two nos make a yes?" She was just oh so delighted telling him these things. Oh, gosh. She couldn't help but snort a bit, amused, but also a bit horrified. Babies weren't that bad...she thought. Not that she wanted any but yeah. The image of little baby socks rotting in heck though was kinda...funny. Oh gosh, this was awful. She felt guilty for being amused. "...Oh! So...you gotta train and get better?" Sedna prodded. Of course she wanted to upgrade, but she needed to figure out how! "Thraen?" She echoed. "Where can I find him?" She seemed delighted at the prospect of meeting another super experienced senshi...maybe he had a ton of infoz too! "A knight!" She beamed widely. "I love knights! A lot of my friends are knights, actually---awww. Maybe that means he secretly likes you, though!" She then gave a sage nod, because she was totally the expert on tsunderes. "Oh, I know a senshi princess, too!" She grinned at him. "Isn't that cool!?" Sedna laughed. "But I'm not!" She rocked on her heels. "I mean it!" She then pointed at him again. "You better tell me your birthday!"

Eurydike stared at her, and it was almost guranteed that in his own head he was saying 'no-no' a few different ways to try and figure out how the hell that would cobble together a 'yes'. "Are you talkin' like double-negative or like - but I'm not sayin' two no's anyway so what the ******** does that even matter?!" he snarled, chewing lightly on the filter of his cigarette before he realized what he was doing and stopped. (Goddamn oral fixation.)
Sedna might've felt guilty, but for his part, Eurydike felt totally validated for making her snicker about it.
"Yeah, yeah, somethin' like that I think - sparrin' an' s**t helps - patrollin' with people - takin' down youma - s**t like that, " he listed off, nodding along with his own suggestions. "Just gettin' experience. - also, you know what your magic does yet, or what?" he asked, a touch of curiosity entering his gaze as he tilted his head, bangs falling across his eyes. "Like, is it offensive or defensive?"
As for where, "Thraen kinda travels - but I got his info in my phone, an' he tries to help new senshi out, " he explained, whipping out his senshi phone and waving it in the air - again, like that did any good. "So you could either like get his contact info from me or if you feel weird or somethin', I could message him an' set up a meetin'?"
Then, Eurydike made a distinctly dead-pan face. "Well, see. I'm kinda datin' his bro, so uh, no. No, he does not. He kinda ********' hates my guts, actually." He exhaled heavily, looking down for a second. He doubted it was going to get much better once they finally told Fritz they were engaged. "Not like it ********' matters anyway - enough 'bout that. It's complicated. He's good to talk to if you run into him, he's been in the whole secret war thing for awhile. Just don't drop my name an' you should be fine."
What did he sound more: bitter and resigned, angry and frustrated, or even a little hurt?
Not for Sedna to worry about, anyway.
"You know a princess already?" THAT took him by surprise. "I kinda like - saw one in passin' once or twice, but - damn you get around fast, don't you?" Senshi princess could probably tell her plenty about the whole powered life that he couldn't. But he didn't bother saying that Sedna was probably wasting her time asking him much of anything.
His blush darkened, and he tried to just flat out ignore her attempts to praise him. "Uhm, lemme think about it - " he mused, deliberately mimicking her as he rocked back onto his heels, smirking to himself. " - nah. Not gonna do that. Trade secret."

"Yeah! Double-negative! Two negatives equal a positive!" She cackled, and then nodded her head as she listened. The senshi gasped, and then nodded her head more energetically. "I do! It's more like---hrm---supportive, yeah? It affects how my opponent is feeling---I'd say negatively at that---it gives them like an oppressive sinking feeling." She then laughed, because of when they were talking about positives and negatives at that. "What does your magic do?" Her eyes were bright with curiosity. "Oooh!" She watched his phone as he waved it. "Not that I'm shy by any means---" She grinned at him. "But I'd like if you could arrange a meeting! Please and thank you---oh." Sedna planted her hands on her hips as she listened, and gasped. Ooooooh feels! Such a good story! Eurydike was dating a knight's brother? "Is your boyfriend magical?" She asked him eagerly. That kind of seemed like it'd be a thing, right? Powered people dating other powered people. "Why does he hate you...?" She frowned a bit, wondering why anyone would dislike Eurydike / Hitch. "You're a big softie!" Sedna beamed at him, and then nodded her head again. "Yeah! I make connections! Her name is Polaris---but I also know her because one of my friends is a knight of her's..." Sedna trailed off for a moment, looking off briefly before returning her attention back to the senshi. "Awwwwwwwwww! Come on, Eurydike--- please?" She tried to stare at him with the most soulful eyes she could muster---but it was really hard when your eyes were black. The best she could do was make larger soul sucking black pools with her stare. After a pause, she then just reached out, quickly, and flipped his skirt. She hadn't forgotten what she wanted to know.

"Not in this case; in this case it's just a super no, " he grunted determinedly, crossing his arms and standing a little taller. "Like, no with a ********' big a** neon sign an' sparklers an' s**t. That's what this is. Got it? Not yes; very, very no."
As for her magic though - he kind of grinned. "That sounds pretty useful though. Like, yeah, it's supportive, but - " He waved his hand in the air, again; he tended to talk with his hands a lot. "My magic, it's like - it makes like a protective circle, which is all ********' well an' good, an' it's helped out before, but like - it doesn't really change much 'bout the battle, it just stops a few hits from landin'." He took another drag of his cigarette and added, a bit wryly, "Gonna be honest, punchin' s**t's always been more my speed anyway. But yeah. Good magic, just... make sure you team up a lot."
Olga meeting Thraen. God that'd be sort of hilarious. He almost wondered if he could just start that message out with an apology. Although who knew, really. Olga - Sedna, sorry - was all about asking questions and getting info. Thraen might ******** love her for all he knew. "Consider it done, then - I'll shoot him a line soon an' get back to you - speakin' of - " He went ahead and took a snapshot of her with his phone. "There. Now I can message you whenever." Just in case she didn't know how that worked.
Eurydike fidgeted a bit, fiddling with his lip piercing between his teeth at the thought of Tolliver. "No, not magical. He actually, uh - the reason I was at the carnival in the first place was the negaverse kinda swiped him, " he explained, again with a wave of his hands. "I was lookin' for him when I found you - after that we found him, he's fine an' all, " if you could really call the nightmares and s**t 'fine'. He bit down harder on his piercing and then sighed, rapping his hand idly against his thigh. "He's got his reasons, an' they're valid. I shouldn't have said anythin' - he's really not a bad guy or nothin', just - yeah."
His cheeks burned a bit. "Wha - I- I am not a goddamn softie." He huffed indignantly and crossed his arms. "Your face is a goddamn softie. How 'bout that??"
"Polaris, " Eurydike echoed the name and would remember it, but couldn't help arching a brow at the mention of a knight. The look on her face was weird, just then. He opened his mouth to remark on it, but then she was pushing about the birthday thing and he just crossed his arms more firmly over his chest, giving her his best death stare.
All that fell awake to a blank, shocked slate as she suddenly lunged and a blast of cool air greeted his lower half as she just flipped his goddamn toga right there in the middle of the goddamn street. And there beneath was a subligaculum, barely a loincloth, leaving essentially nothing to the imagination, and to add insult to injury, it was the same warm pink as the lower half of his fuku.
Abruptly, he finally moved, slapping the toga back down firmly against himself, his eyes still wide but his brows down turned and his mouth opening and closing almost like a fish, his face bright red.
Finally, words escaped him in a hiss, his eyes narrowed and dangerous: "SEDNA. I HOPE YOU'VE HAD A ********' GOOD LIFE." And then he lunged at her with a roar.

Man, Eurydike was sounding like Sergei with his intensity of no. Now she tried to imagine Sergei with a big neon sign and sparklers that said no and she giggled. "Or maybe you're just a lazy bones!" She teased. "No is shorter than yes, and thus easier to get out!" The next bit of the conversation had involved Sedna just nodding here and there, as she listened and agreed to things. She made a funny face when Eurydike snapped a photo of her, and returned the favor, taking a picture of him as well before pocketing her phone. Awww. That was so sweet. She was definitely shipping Eurydike and his boyfriend really hard. She hoped she could meet him soon. She also wanted to ask if it was difficult to be powered and be with someone who wasn't though....like...all the worries and concerns! Now though--- Now though--- After flipping his toga, Sedna had been bent over, so that she could get the best look as the toga fluttered up in the air. She was thinking shorts or briefs of some kind---so she was surprised by what greeted her. That...barely there thing. Sedna couldn't help but blush as she gawked. Guy junk. The senshi straightened in utter surprise as he roared her name, her eyes going wide as she stared at him. For whatever reason, her lips were shaped in some sort of 'v' shape, and as the super lunged at her, she ducked (really low, mind you, since Eurydike was shorter than her) underneath him, and then shot off. "NOOOOOOO!" She wailed, now terribly amused (if not a wee bit terrified too) jumping onto the nearest awning and pulling herself up, peering back at him over her shoulder. "I STILL NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TRUE LOVE IS!" She squealed, laughing, and then started to climb up the building using window ledges.

Eurydike stared at her for a long moment, his dark eyes half-lidded in an unamused way - or supposedly, although he looked kind of vaguely amused anyway in spite of himself, a ghost of a smirk on his lips. "You really just hear what you wanna, don't you?"
There was no ghostly smirk at the whole skirt-flipping incident, though - he was just roaring, trying not to be impressed at how ******** good she was at dropping to the ground (obnoxiously so given her <******** stupidly tall height). "You should've thought of that - " And he lunged, grasping for the same awning and easily pulling himself up. He was small, yeah, but compact didn't mean slender. " - before you ********' pulled that dumbass stunt!! Now get back here!"

Eurydike was shorter than her...and she took kick boxing classes religiously...so really, even though he was a super, she might have been able to take him---at least for a bit until sheer senshi experience overpowered her but---no. She wasn't sure what he'd do once he got a hold of her, and she wasn't sure she wanted to find out. Though a small part of her did. Very small. "Nooooooooo!" She wailed more, and reached the roof top, where she took off across it like a gazelle. "You're not gonna beat me, are you!? I DON'T SHIP IT!"

Not that he knew that - he was starting some self-defense stuff, finally, which was awesome and all, so it didn't even occur to him that Sedna might be totally capable of kicking his a**. Not that it really mattered one way or the other unless he caught her.
No way. He was going to catch her. No way was he just going to let her off the hook after pulling a ******** move like that! "I won't beat you, I'll ********' murder you!" he howled as he took off - less like a gazelle, but still pretty ******** gracefully - he'd never, ever in a million ******** years think he was, much less call himself that, but it was a fact that Tolliver knew probably better than anyone. "You're just makin' this harder on yourself!!"

"I can't die! I have too many things to ship still!" Sedna hopped from one building over to the next. She looked back over her shoulder just to see where he was, panic a bit more, and then continue across this other building's roof top. She wondered if it'd be possible to lose him... She wasn't sure. Sedna choked. "What are you saying!? That it's better to get murdered now instead of later!?" Except as frightening as that was, she was still having a blast right now for some reason too...

"You should've thought of that before you did - before that!" he bellowed back. Technically he was faster - but he also got winded a little faster. Cigarettes didn't exactly have the same impact on him when he was a senshi as when he wasn't, but that didn't mean they didn't ******** him up a little. He was breathing harder by now, even if he didn't up and relent.
This was his pride at stake here - his manly manly pride.
"Yeah that's exactly what I'm ********' saying' you dipshit!"
The real question was, why was he laughing? - probably because he'd snapped, had to be it.

"But I had to know!" She squealed. "Leave no rock unturned---or in this case---" She had the nerve to look back at him over her shoulder, grin, and waggled her brows, " No skirt unflipped---" The senshi's attention snapped forward, and she let out a surprised sound as she just barely managed to hop over an air conditioning unit on the roof. Whew! That was a close one! She laughed as she looked at it---and then got clothes-lined by a large pipe that was running between some contraptions on another part of the roof. Sedna landed flat on the ground like a villain out of a movie, letting out an 'ACK'. She then laid there in a stunned and surprised stupor.

If there ever was a time that Eurydike could believe in karma or divine retribution or whatever. Thank you whoever the ******** is watching right now someday I will totally offer some real grade A bourbon in your name. Which, by the way? Far as divine justice or whatever went, it didn't really get more hilarious than that one man.
He strode over, trying to mask the fact that he was kind of a little more winded than he should be by this whole thing, and planted one sandaled foot on her prone form, pinning her. "First off, ship-for-brains, " he grunted, "This ain't a skirt, it's a ******** toga. Totally different."
Then, he cracked his knuckles with a fiendish grin. "That said. Any last words, huh??"

Sedna let out another 'oof' as Eurydike planted a sandaled foot on her, much like a balloon with the last of it's air being pushed out. "Aren't they the same when you boil it down though?" She wheezed, and her eyes widened as she stared up at him. "Um---" Her eyes darted left, and then they darted right as she tried to think of something witty and clever to say on the spot, but alas. She came up empty. Instead she cried out, "UNSINKABLE!" And then she reached up to jam her fingers between the senshi's foot and sandal, and then proceeded to try and tickle his foot. Last ditch and desperate effort.

He was totally the one that felt unsinkable up until she shoved her ******** finger into his sandal and - Eurydike gave a yelp that sounded distinctly like a bark of laughter, jerking his foot back a little too fast - just fast enough that he totally lost his ******** balance and fell right smack dab onto his a**, a string of curses that would've made most people blush slipping too easily from his lips as he pressed a hand to his ********' cheap a** shot, " he snarled, shooting her a dirty look before flopping down onto his back - since he was on the ******** ground anyway - and since he was breathing pretty hard from the whole running bit.
