At least Nubi knew how to behave in front of the other General. She stood up straight and kept her face in that of a light smile, nothing too cheery, but nothing too dull and bored at the same time. She was sill getting used to the feeling of teleporting here and there, it was an odd sensation and she was glad when it was over and Mali let go. She was quick to notice that he didn't immediately let go of their cute new friend though and a little smirk crossed her face and she gave him a little nudge with her elbow to show she had seen what he had done.
When he asked about Vit's name she was a little confused. Probably, mostly because she hadn't known Vitriol was sulfuric acid. What did it really matter anyway? Stone names were a snore fest, who had time for geology anyway? Though, she did wonder why he was named for sulfuric acid to begin with. He was so adorable, surely someone could think of a more suitable name for him. It was too soon for nicknames though, as much as she's love to call him 'Puppy'. At least she knew how to contain herself a little bit.
"Well, we should get started. Is there anything in particular you like to do on patrols? I'm not sure if you want to do something more exciting, or just look for some pour souls to drain dry." When she was out with Peri she was a little more adventurous with her patrols, but they tended to be more tame with her twin around. It didn't seem like Vit got out too much though, so she wanted to do something he felt like doing for the evening.

A thought crossed 'Mali's mind. A non-violent but still unpleasant thought, one where his sister was the target and the weapon of choice was a bowl full of flour dumped on her while she slept. She was wise to keep her mouth shut, but the nudge gave her away, and allowed bitter revenge to be plotted in his head to get her back with later.
Of course, that scowl softened immediately when Vit turned to see him, and 'Mali allowed himself to smile at him and push the thought of getting back at his sister to the edge of his mind, for now.
"Hmm... Let's head this way. I heard there was a frat party or something of the sort out on the lake this evening. It's getting late enough that we may be able to find some easy pickings from them. Though she is right, if there is anything you'd like to do, then please, let us know. After all, you are a guest with us this evening, and we both believe we willy fully enjoy your company." He began to walk past Vit, pausing to gently touch his shoulder and urge him to follow them as he headed towards the park. It lingered far more briefly than when he held his paw, but that was to be expected.
"Vitriol sounds harsh. I'm sure my sister would agree so too. It's a name that reeks of violence and pain and, yes, I know the Negaverse likes to revel on their darkness and sometimes apparent 'evilness', it still seems a little... Much. It's as if the thought of joy isn't even allowed at times, and I'm not one to hang around what seems to be miserable." Was he being arrogant...? Maybe sounding a little too stuck up? Probably. And most of the time he didn't care about whether or not people liked him or hated him. Not many people mattered, but the thought of making Vit upset with him in their brief time together made 'Mali catch his tongue, pausing to look back at the fluffy pup behind him.
"Those feelings and the like of dread and burning away, it's none of my business, certainly, but I don't really feel them from you, if that makes any sense. To be more clear, it was obvious that from the moment we met you, 'Nubi was quiet taken with you, and she smiled, and suppose I too managed to smile. It was a moment of joy, that lead to us to where we are now. Hmmm..." Would it be too pretentious to pull out knowledge from school he stored away in his mind? A certain phrase came to mind, but it would just be another reason for 'Nubi to tease him later.... Vitriol still seemed too harsh a name for someone as cute as he was... Ah well, ******** it.
"I think I have a name for you, but... For now we shall see how this night goes, to see if you really do bring more moments of joy for us."

"I tend to like fighting but - I'm a bit rough with these hands. I'd like to practice more with them. Other than that..." He considered it. Before he would meet up with other agents, and sometimes he would find one of the many bakeries he had liked. He only remembered that he must have shifted to a civilian from the memory jumping from walking that way and then being at a rooftop with a warm paper bag of baked goods.
"....enjoying the night. Finding senshi. Taking energy and starseeds. I enjoy all of it." He said, looking between the both of them.
When Mali came to regard his name, he went somber and stared out, listening and agree that it did reek of violence and pain, but it wasn't because of the Negaverse. It was a name suited from someone who knew his history. From Faustite, who knew that he not only had been pained, but gave pain, gave violence, gave misery and had it returned. A balancing of the universe maybe.
"Some people find joy in violence and pain." He commented, his tone less chipper and agreeable and more a sobering statement. But that didn't seem to be Nubi and Mali's deal, and they expected him to provide some joy for them this night. They wanted to have him earn a name, just like the Queen wanted him to prove himself and earn back his title. While it was a much smaller degree, the idea was the same.
Provide moments of joy tonight for Mali and Nubi.
"Alright. We'll see then." He added, and followed them towards the lake.

Nubi wasn't quite sure why he was making such a big deal about the whole name thing. Honestly, she was surprised he was talking at all. And maybe that was the problem. He was obviously trying a little too hard to keep up some sort of conversation. She totally shot him this 'What are you doing' look that she really hoped he understood.
"Honestly, I had no idea what Vitriol was until a certain someone brought it up. What's my favorite genre of movies you ask? Horror, violence, dramaaaaa; I love it. I'm just gonna call you Vitie! It's gonna be short for Victory! Which is what we shall find tonight as we destroy those weaklings at the lake!" She was trying to lighten the mood a bit, as Mali was sort of being a bit of a downer. While she might be a bit of a perky, smile all the time, person. That didn't mean she didn't enjoy her job as a Negaverse Agent. It was possible to smile and do horrible things all at the same time. She was the perfect example of that.
"Oooo, you know what we should do Vitie? We should spook some kids." As they walked along she pulled her cell phone out of thin air, she still wasn't used to how all of this worked, but it was pretty cool. She turned on the flash and shined the light behind Vit, casting a long ominous shadow in front of him. "We could really freak some people out with this. I'd say we can just have you jump them, but you're too c-...handsome for that." She corrected herself, even though he said he really didn't mind before.
"Sounds fun right? Like really mess with them?" Nubi, personally, thought it was a great idea. But, if they had better plans, she was all ears.

It was clear that 'Mali's shoulders drooped a little when 'Nubi gave him that look. Yes, she could be annoying but her scolding glance was just as bad as actually getting chewed out over something. Maybe he had tried too hard to come off as cool, and maybe a little commanding, but clearly it backfired.
His chest tightened a little at how easily she made it seem to be friendly with someone, and his words were so very clearly left behind, maybe he shouldn't have said anything.
He truly hated how much 'Nubi could make him doubt himself.
For now he kept quiet, leading them on and letting them interact behind them. She seemed like she was having a great time anyway, no reason to disturb them as he guided towards their destination.
"Don't shine that light around too much, you'll just give us away..."

Spook some kids. He turnedto Nubi as she gave her plan. Like a campfire villian or a halloween prank, but in this case it wasn't someone wearing a mask to horrify the others. It was just him, as he was. Glancing down, he flexed his fingers and considered the general state of what he was, what he looked like, and the setup for the night. It was one thing to be terrifying by looking like a monster, but - well, why did this feel so different then how he scared people when he looked human? What did it matter? Deep down, the result was the same. Outside like the inside.
"Yeah. We can do that." He agreed, smiling at her. She wanted moments of joy tonight. If this brought her joy,then he'd succeed.
The lake wasn't that far and the walk there was pleasant. Nice breeze. Slightly still chill but with a current of spring. It felt nice against his hair and the air had the quality that only Earth could provide. Notes of mowed grass, fresh laid mulch, and the softening of the Earth form the chillness of winter. The world was thawing. Seasons were passing. Everything changed faces. It was natural.
"If you point them out, I'll spook them. A small group. We don't need cops coming to our area." He reminded them.
"Just give me the order when it's time."

'Nubi saw that she had maybe gone a bit too far with 'Mali, but she just didn't want him to ruin his budding new friendship with another Agent. He didn't make friends very easily and if she was around she maybe tried a little to hard to change that. If Vitie was going to be their friend though, he might as well be friends with 'Mali acting like himself. She'd have to apologize later.
Though, maybe not so much. As he scolded her about the flash light idea. Vitie was so adorable in person, but just the right angle of light warped his shadow into something truly spooky. It would have spooked her anyway, if she wasn't keenly aware of the things that went bump in the night these days. However he did have a point, and Vitie more so when he mentioned the cops. Would your first action be to call the cops if you thought there was a monster out there? She supposed for your average civilians that would probably be the case.
"Okay, fine. You win, 'Mali. We'll do it the old fashioned way. Shoving a hard in someone's chest does tend to freak them out a bit." And with that they were fairly close to the lake. They probably shouldn't take one one of the beginning groups. Even without a spooky, shadow trick they could still easily get the cops called on them.

"If it makes you feel any better, we can scare a few different small groups, if we make our way to different parts of the lake." He was a realist, of course, knowing that they'd have to go pretty far between locations for it to have any sort of decent effect. In that same thought though, he didn't want to completely disappoint his sister.
"And.. We also have this as well.. Zube's Game." With the softly said attack name, he summoned a decent sized and rather cute looking automaton and held it in his hands for a moment, before offering it to either of the two to look at.
"I have yet to see this in proper action, but, if the goal is to scare people and drain energy, I'd like to see this used. We wind it up, our target is compelled to follow it, then it explodes. Rather than a report on three strange people that's somewhat believable, a creepy doll compelling their friend to dance is much less realistic. In the scope of our City's general nonsense, anyway." Despite not having used his attack just yet, he seemed rather proud of his idea. Hopefully the others would think it was a good one as well.
Leopleuradon
Sailor Scout Attack: Zube's Game Mali Summons a Small Automaton named Zube and winds him up and places it on the ground. The Automaton is not activated until an opponent sees it, and can be picked up and placed elsewhere by Mali or another of his allies. Once someone looks at the doll, they are forced to approach it and follow Zube's Pre-installed Movements which goes as follows
"Three steps to the Left, Three steps to the right, Spin in Place, Raise right hand, left hand behind back, and Bow"
This action preoccupies the user for 5 seconds, and at the end of the 'performance', Zube explodes. The explosion is is minor, and is only strong enough send the opponent back a few feet, but no other damage is sustained

"Divide and conquer then. I'll target someone. Then Mali. Then Nubi." He said in agreement.
Scaring and causing a commotion that was controlled and not too serious to alert police was tricky. Tricker then finding some drunk on a bench to drain from.
It helped that he had experience and being dark in uniform made him far less easy to spot among distracted teenagers. The groups were all divided. Couples. Friends. Random tag-alongs who awkwardly hung on the fridges.
What he found was one man going off towards the trail to the parking lots. Maybe grabbing something they forgot or leaving. It did not think of its own eyes and as it approached, making a point to rustle the bushes as it moved, the man turned to regard the noise.
"Jason, I can get it myself."
But Jason wasn't there and when a dark figure, albeit a short one, showed up with glowing yellow eyes, it caused him to stumble back. It was a mix of confusion and shock that made the man jump but the mind was quick to try and rationalize.
"Nice costume." He said warily but the fun of the scare wasn't as fun as he thought. There were more fun things though. More straight-forward fun. Moving forward, he shrugged and then rushed in to trip the man. As he swore at him for being a "little s**t," he already hit the man in the head to daze him. After a bit of draining, he returned to the twins.
"I don't think people believe I'm real."

While no one was exactly on board with the plan she came up with, that was all fine really, Mali was better at planning. Nubi was good at just doing. Plus, it would be fun to actually see her brother's magic in action. She had yet to put her's to much use either, though she knew what it did. It wasn't always the best tool in the dark, but it does make her eyes glow. And that's always creepy.
"That seems fair, let's watch each other in action. It's the best way to learn." She nodded, though was alreayd making plans in her head to do some scouting with Vitie alone later. She had a feeling the two of them might just hit it off in a very fun way.
She watched Vitie scamper off after some idiot who wandered off on his own. She kept her distance, along with Mali. He was certainly quick. Small people were always so speedy she found. It helped that he was a Negaverse agent of course, but he was still certainly quicker than her. Of course, she knew the difference between and Agent like Vitie and a Senshi like herself. It was still something to see in action though.
From this distance she could see the initial shock the person experienced, but it was over quickly. Everyone always tried to rationalize what was happening. Before long their new friend was at their side again and she gave him a little pay on his head.
"We know you're real. And that's what matters. Okay Mali, you're up next!"

It wasn't difficult at all to scare the campers out of the tent, drain them, then toss their bodies back inside to recover. They received no sympathy from 'Mali at all, especially given the fact that he believed it to be an incredibly stupid idea to be out here camping away like this in the first place.
Thanks to those idiots, they all found themselves comfortably within quota for the night, and allowed them to head back to the General's designated meeting place.
'Mali felt a little bit strange at it all... He mostly hated going out to do his Negaverse Work. To him it was a waste of time and effort but... Perhaps it wasn't so bad, with this new man and his sister by his side.
He'd have to keep that in mind for the future.
"Well... This has been pleasant... Unexpectedly so, I might add. Did you two enjoy yourselves as well?"

They were quick and the campers were sluggish and looked infantile in their movements by comparison. The dark they hunted and returned to each other with glowing orbs of swirling energy in their hand. Their duties met and with the mind to not stick around where you drained, they headed back to the rendezvous point.
He was impressed by the skill of the twins and their efficiency, having hoped he wouldn't be around two people with no mind for draining. But they had experience, logic, and stealth. Both seperate from the other twin in their own way they moved and approached their victims.
"I enjoyed it. It's nice to be out but even better with people who know what they are doing and have the confidence to get things done. Thank you for taking me along. It was fun watching you two in action."
And it had. He only hoped they could continue these escapades into the night together so he could watch them more. But for now, the rippled of a general came before them and in no time at all they were whisked away back to Negaspace.
