Olga had actually been wondering if she should do some laundry for Jayce, and also be default, Corey, and also figured out that her little pile she let go for a few weeks was nothing compared to this. She looked up from her phone as Jayce appeared, blinking as an avalanche of clothes went to the floor. "You look tons better! I'm glad!" She slid her phone back into the pocket of her flannel, and after he fished out a sandwich, she pulled out her own sausage and egg mcmuffin. "Oh---there's some hash browns down in there, too!" She shuffled through the other sandwiches before she finally located one, and took a bite as she quirked a brow at him. She took on the role of listener---with the benefit of eating while she listened.

He finished his meal and reached inside for one of the hash browns, nibbling at a corner as thought about where to begin. The start, obviously. “Well, we went in there, right? This place it was... horrible, I guess. The appearance wasn’t horrible or anything. There were crystals everywhere and it looked like a giant cavern or something. It was the feeling.” Even just thinking about it made him shudder. Describing exactly how it felt was almost impossible. “Imagine the worst Negadude you’ve face and times that by a thousand. It made me feel sick and, I dunno, dirty. I was surrounded by horrible darkness and despair, it...” Jayce trailed off and spent a long minute simply remembering, a shudder running down his spine. “Anyway, so we split into three groups and...” He described the ruins, the descent into the dark and the battle with the Scorpion Youma. He told her about the Knight he’d assisted and how relieved he’d been when they’d both barely escaped with their lives. Of how they’d climbed the rise, ready to go home only to find the legion of Chaos spread out before them. “So many youma, just... a giant wall of them. It was unbelievable.” He finished the hash brown and wiped his greasy hands on his pants. “I decided to hang back but a lot of the others started fighting right away. A lot of them started dying right away too. There was a Nega. She was... ******** terrifying. She had this scythe, right? And I don’t know how many people she killed but she just had this look on her face, this determined set look as she just tore apart anyone that came close to her.” The food in his stomach was suddenly not sitting as well as it had been. “I can’t believe I... this is... I’m nineteen and now I’ve seen people murdered in front of me.” He made a pained sound and closed his eyes, fighting back a wave of nausea. And I haven’t even gotten to the dragon yet.

Quietly listen she did, her expression solemn, and MickeyD's breakfast not tasting quite so awesome as it usually did in light of what she was hearing. She caught between something like awe and horror, caught between once again feeling like she should have been there, but glad she wasn't. She also made a point to commit every detail to memory, because she felt like she needed to share this collected information with Sergei too. Olga's expression pained in response to Jayce's words, and she reached out to place a warm hand on his knee, and gave it a firm, and what she hoped was reassuring, squeeze. "...I understand." She said quietly, and gave him a bit of a humorless smile. "It...just seems so fun and noble and good and perfect at first, huh? Being magical? But the longer you are...the deeper you get into it...it's...nothing short of a war. A brutal, horrible, awful and unbelievable war."

The squeeze helped and he covered her hand with his own in silent thanks. “I didn’t even care at the start that it was noble or good. It was just fun. All of sudden I could jump up a building and fight monsters. It didn’t really matter why I was doing it or why I had these powers at all. Now I think the only thing stopping me from never powering up again is because it is good and if I don’t innocent people might suffer.” Or maybe that wasn’t entirely the truth. Powering up was like a drug. Could he really go back to being normal now? "Anyway," he had to continue now or else he’d never want to talk about it, “it just kept getting worse. People were fighting and dying, though props to our side, we put up a hell of a struggle." He gave a mirthless laugh. "I helped some girl out, I don’t think... I can’t remember if I asked her name or anyone’s names, there wasn’t time. You could feel something getting closer, something big and scary. Then it showed up and surprise, it’s a giant youma dragon." He could still feel the heat of the flames, the sting of acid rain and the fear in his gut. "Most of the others fought it but I couldn’t. I mean, how could I?” He waved a hand, making his fingers into snapping pincers. “I doubt my magic would have made a difference." The youma would have just swatted him away like a bug. "So that Nega Evil b***h is still out there killing people and there’s this one guy trying to stop her and I thought, ‘hey, I’m already going to die, I’m going to go down swinging’ and I attacked her." He tapped his head. "“That’s how I got this. I’m lucky I didn't get skewered." Lucyal Sorry for the wait! Getting back on track. Q__Q <3

His hand went over the hand on his knee, and Olga put her other hand on top of his and squeezed that too in reassurance. She nodded her head as she listened once more, mulling over some thoughts briefly before he picked the tale back up. She really shouldn't have been surprised, but her pale brows shot up into her bangs at the mention of a dragon. A giant youma dragon. To think they had that in the place they went...could something that large ever make it's way into the city...? That was horrifying in itself to think about. "You don't know that---" She protested, wanting to come to his defense. "Your magic is one of the most useful and powerful I've seen---and you're only at the first level!" Her brows knitted, and her lips pulled down to a frown as he tapped his head, and her eyes shifted to where he tapped, trying to see the wound again as he spoke about it. Olga let out a breath. "Y-yeah...for sure, especially if she had a scythe..." And was cutting down lots of other people. "...What happened after that?" Ruriska That's okay bby! I was wondering where you went! I MISSED YOU *n* <333 Also I LOVE THAT CENTISIMA PIXEL IN YOUR SIG IT'S SO AWESOME

His mouth quirked up at her quick defense. “I thought so too. The whole pincer centipede thing had been pretty useful up until this fiasco. You should have seen the others though. One guy summoned a bull that was on fire.” Jayce shifted in toward her, their hands linked and his smile pained. “Another guy could make people invulnerable. Not to mention the winged dude bringing down a storm of hail. It was... amazing.” It felt strange to be proud of them all but he was. “Well, next, I uh, I was holding on to crazy lady by the arm and the other guy had a whip around her neck and I’m not sure what we even thought we could accomplish but I was giving it my best shot. I would have killed her, without any second thoughts, if I’d had the strength or the chance. But then a gust of wind from the dragon just picked me up and tossed me along like a ragdoll.” This was like the craziest dream or the weirdest fairytale, speaking it out loud was ridiculous. “I hit the ground, ribs went bust, ******** hurt like hell and then it turns out somehow the others defeated the dragon and it just BANG falls on top of crazy scythe b***h.” Jayce laughed suddenly, remembering the thunder of the fall and how he’d been flat on his back, surprised to still be alive. “For a second there, it was like we’d won but then there were even more youma than before and you could feel something even bigger and nastier about to appear. It was like being in a video game and every time you beat a boss, a stronger one appears. It was basically lights out then. We were all good as dead. I just... stayed where I was. No point in getting up.” He was quiet for a moment, just looking at Olga and telling himself again how glad he was she hadn’t been there. “And just when we were all about to be slaughtered, we were teleported to the moon.” Lucyal RL punched my rp-ability is the face! XD I WILL BE BACK ON TRACK NOW. *squishes these two* Missed you too ;u; AHA YES. ISN'T IT THE BEST? I'm so grateful and happy, aaah! <33

Olga's lips parted in an impressed 'oh' as he described the fellow magical people and their magical abilities. She shook her head a bit, and patted the back of his hand. "Don't count yourself out!" She encouraged, and quieted to listen again. She made a small face when he talked about killing, that being a subject that had come up as of late between now and when she'd been out on patrol with Sergei. She focused on the story though, and made a horrified face. "More youma?" She echoed. " An even bigger one?" She couldn't even fathom, but when he then mentioned going to the moon, her expression turned blank briefly. Something seemed to click. "Oh!" Her eyes widened. "Oh---so maybe that's why---" She was thinking about when the portal collapsed, but had a few warring thoughts going on. "Wait---" She focused back on Jayce. "Who teleported you to the moon? Why?" A brief pause. "What happened there? How did you get back?" Ruriska NOOOO DARN U RL! /shakes fist at it I hope you punch it back in the face! /squishes you squishing them SO AWESOME o v o <333

"That’s maybe why...?" He inquired, wondering what was behind the big eyed look but the focus shifted and he shrugged at her new set of questions. "Nothing really happened there. It was some chick, I dunno, she was on the ground when we got there and everyone was all ‘oh no, let’s help her’ and I was too busy being flat on my back to give a s**t." The whole moon deal still seemed unreal. All that really stuck in his mind was that there had been a lot of crying going on and staring up at earth. "Eventually everyone started leaving with their phones and I just copied them. It was a surprise when it actually worked." Lucyal gonna give rl the good one-two! >3

Olga held up a finger, indicating he should finish his story before she talked. She nodded. "Ah...so the...chick...um...did she bring you guys to the moon?" She paused once more, letting out a huge breath. "Well---so I stayed in the area---after you left---" She'd leave out the part where she spent a good portion of that time freaking out, "And eventually um---the portal collapses." Her eyes went a bit wide. "The portal collapsed, and none of you guys were back yet, and Caedus---he was freaking out something awful. Like he hadn't expected that at all. He was frantically looking through all his crystals, trying to find one to get power I think---" Olga's lips twisted a bit. "It was me, and a knight, and my friend, Methone, an Eternal Transcendent Senshi of the Aurora Borelais, she's so cool---" Olga had been about to gush about her, caught herself, and then focused. "And this other senshi um...named...Pollux. Apparently his brother had gone through the portal, and when it collapsed, he was furious that his brother hadn't come back, so he tried attack Caedus---we defended him---Caedus---or tried to, but Pollux ended up ripping off his cape---" Here, Olga's eyes got wide and bright with excitement, her voice awed as she recalled the man's appearance. Her hands ended up leaving him, as she used them to move as she animatedly talked. "Caedus looks human, but his skin is pale blue, and he has pointed ears like an elf, and white hair that's braided, but most cool--- so cool, is that he has these little crystals along his cheeks and hairline---" Olga touched the mentioned skin on her face with her fingertips. "They sparkle and glimmer---and after he seemed miserable, at being exposed, so I gave him my coat to cover himself, but Pollux was at him again, despite Methone putting him down multiple times---" Olga was on a serious roll. "So Caedus stepped in, and he touched Pollux, and the senshi was encased in crystals!" Olga's hands shot out to make 'jazz hands', "His entire body, except his head, yeah? Was covered in crystals! It was so awesome! He handed back my coat then, and then said he was going to leave, so he went off---but if we wanted to find him, we could." Olga finished, and sucked in a deep breath. "Oh! So I think when you guys got transported to the moon, that's when the portal collapsed. I was wondering why that happened..."

It was nice to shut up for a bit and let Olga have a go. He leaned against her (shifting slightly whenever she felt the need to enthusiastically flap her hands around) and listened, occasionally making a small sound, like the huff of laughter when she mentioned the portal collapsed. Of course it had. Even if they’d punched a hole through the youma, they wouldn’t have been able to escape anyway. Without their transportation to the moon, they would have been doomed down to the last. At least Caedus’ seemed to be a decent enough fella to freak out over the whole mess. Methone, he filed under interesting: Lean More and Pollux gained the dubious title of Interesting: Probably A Dickhead. Of course, he had to give him the benefit of the doubt, if the situation had been reversed and he’d had a brother and friend missing on the other side, he probably wouldn’t have reacted in a calm or peaceful manner. “Nifty,” he said when she described Caedus. Then all he could think of was her offering her coat and his smile turned warm. “You’re... a good person.” His head dropped lower, resting against her shoulder. “Good to know he can defend himself if necessary. Sad I missed the show.” It would have been much better than near-death experience in Negaland. “Okay, first, what’s a transcendent? And what do you know about space travel? You reckon I could get back to the moon?”

Olga couldn't help but blush after she got most of her talking done--- and noticed him leaning on her. She didn't have friends that did that, really---well. Nadia. Nadia did, but it was Nadia, and Nadia was always like that, so...It was nice. Just surprising. Her blush then deepened at the compliment. "Eh?" She glanced down at him, and then away, scratching a cheek with a finger idly. "Oh---I don't think so---it just seemed like the least I could do in the given situation! Ah!" Eager to leap onto something else, she brightened at the questions. "I know both of those things! Well. Kinda." She held up two fingers. "I've met two Transcendent senshi so far! They're eternal level, and they have all these glowy markings on their skin! According to one I've asked, even they're not exactly sure what it means to be Transcendent, and everyone's experience is a bit different apparently, but what they gather is that the bond with their space rock is stronger, and from that bond they get more perks!" She nodded, thinking that summed it up best, and moved onto the other question. "Yeah! Nico told me you can travel to the moon, as well as your space rock!" Olga's brows knitted briefly in thought. "I haven't tried going to the moon yet...but it's apparently just as easy as going to your space rock! Gosh..." She stared off for a moment, and then focused back on Jayce. "Yanno, we can go into space and to the moon with the push of a cell phone button---that just makes me feel really bad for NASA, yanno? Trying so hard!"

His ribs were hurting and his head was still aching, it was just nicer to use her as a pillow. It made him feel safe. So his eyes closed as she answered his questions, a little frown forming when she talked about Transcendents. That was interesting. There was so much to learn about being a Senshi, it was almost daunting... especially when the senshi who were Transcendent didn’t really know what they were either. "Space rock," he repeated, lifting his head to look at her. Also oh yeah, the little cat dude. He should probably try talking him again sometime. "Sooo... I’ve got a space rock?" That was what she seemed to be getting at even if the idea of pressing a button on his phone and visiting some other planet or whatever really did seem farfetched even for Senshi standards. Then again, he hadn’t thought the whole moon thing would be possible a day ago. Poor NASA indeed. His head dropped back again. "When I don’t feel like s**t, let’s go on space adventures."

"Yes, and yes!" Olga bobbed her head enthusiastically. "Yuppers! Either a planet, or a moon, or an asteroid or what have you! You have a space rock! I have a planet! I've been there! Sedna is all covered in water and there's ships, ships, and more ships! Even the ships have ships and there's shipping ships shipping smaller shipping ships!" She paused for a moment. "But it's kinda eerie too, to be honest---as well as cool---it's just---" Her nose wrinkled. "There's no one there. Just me when I was there...me and all these signs and stuff of a past life but there's no one." She trailed off for a moment, getting sucked into the feel of being there once more, and being both excited but also kind of spooked. Olga snapped out of it though, and nodded her head once more. "Yeah! Let's! I'd love to see Centisima! I can only wonder what it looks like---and ooooh---" She waggled her fingers at him, and then reached to waggle her finger along his shoulder, mimicking the legs of a creepy crawler. "Maybe there's centipedes all around---or were?---or there's giant statues dedicated to them!"

"Ship and ship and more ships. Sounds great." Actually it sounded confusing because apparently their space rocks also contained other things like ships and possibly buildings, just with no people. Which almost made it like an abandoned amusement park just begging for them to mess around with."You can take me there and we can crash ships into each other." He grinned. Jayce laughed and swatted playfully at her waggling fingers. “Crazy centipede worshipers, yeah, that’ll be about right.” Though now that the possibility of his own space rock had been raised, he couldn’t help but let his imagination go wild. Would there be actual centipedes there? What did it look like? "Soon," he promised. “But first, I want to sleep for the rest of the day and I should probably go to the doctor, just in case." Just talking had been exhausting but he was glad he’d shared most of what he’d gone through yesterday. Lucyal I think we can wrap this one up soon. <3

Olga looked absolutely horrified at the suggestion, her eyes going wide and her mouth dropping in horror. "Oh my gosh---" She wheezed, "No! No, I don't want to go and crash ships into each other!" Yeah. They were abandoned, and a lot of there were moored, half sunk, or just floating there (and around), but that meant in no way shape or form that she wanted to do anything to harm them further. "Explore them, yes! Crash them---" She shuddered, and shook her head. Her brows furrowed, and she mulled over the thoughts before snapping back to, drastically shifting gears at the mention of a doctor. "Y-yeah! Yeah---" She nodded her head firmly, and then suddenly sprung to her feet. She whirled on her heel. "Let's go! We can go to a walk in clinic, yeah? Right now! After that----then you can sleep the rest of the day, but not a moment before!" Olga made shooing motions at him. "Come on, we're going!" Ruriska SOUNDS GOOD <3 And this could be a wrap tag on my part if that works for you! : D
