Jaimie's mock bravado faded, and he rubbed his arms uncomfortably, even at the non descriptive mention of what had happened to the aliens. He'd caught a glimpse of one, before they'd sic'ed one of their card monsters on himself and Wolframite.
He'd actually probably -saved- the obnoxious little Lieutenant from it.
He hated to admit he was beginning to regret that, like the guilt he still felt over Linarite on that first night.
He hated to admit that Kunzite might be right, but he was really begining to wonder if there was another way, even if he resented being drafted into this surreal war. He was in it and by god, he was going to survive it, and if he had his way, so would Tallulah and the others.

-She's been thinking, divulging the information thrown out from all sides and trying to categorize and make sense of it in her head. But every once in awhile she'd pipe up with a few words here or there.
Perhaps it was Belle's retelling that kept her the most quiet. She too had had a similar experience, a hand grasped firmly around her starseed, completely helpless and lost had it not been for Serpantus' timely arrival.-
"I met Serandite while I was on the Crystal campus, I actually just thought she had pajamas and was a student. But yeah, that bunny is super dangerous, and connected to her. It seems to move how she moves, they might even share damage."
"Actually.. alot of the Negaverse have deceptively unsuspecting clothing.. it's far easier to pick out an ally. I met another.. one who seemed more concerned with stealing my jewelry then fighting, didn't get his name, but he wore black and florescent green."
"Wolframite is pretty young looking. Wears black and green... and bows. Fights with a jumprope"
"Sassolite is a redhead with a bow and arrow. She mentioned luring boys off... and ridding the world of perverts."
"And Rhodizite..." -The final of her list.. the one that had gotten so close to getting her.- "Dark skinned... brown uniform... bone accents. He's a sniper... he watches and waits, he isn't all flashy and in your face like alot of the other ones. He uses a chain with a bone on the end...."
-Her voice had softened as she spoke, in the end offering a mild shrug.- "I figure if we all know what the badguys look like and what they attack with then less of a chance of being blindsided. We can use tactics and strategy instead of luck and sheer force."
-The mention of the aliens had finished the job of silencing her, face drawing grim lines. She'd been there for the slaughter... Even if the aliens may have been bad.. may have been possessing children and turning them into monsters... the end they met.. It was far too cruel. She'd wondered about Kunzite's lesson to her.. about how she was supposed to become a killer and how it was different then being a murderer. Well her question had been answered.-

"Moonstone already came up..." Jaimie interjected, his expression serious. "She's the one with the funky wooden mask and fringes on her outfit. If you see her, call back up right away. She's seriously out of her head, in a crazy dangerous way. The only thing that seems to happen if she takes any damage is she gets MADDER."
Fortunately she hadn't made a move on his star seed at the time, she'd seemed way more intent on beating him into the tarpaper.

"Boo <********> Hoo." Elzo tossed back the paper at Talluah. It had a p***s drawing on it. The p***s had a smiling face and said 'suck it'. Clearly Elzo was not having fun. That or he felt another p***s joke was appropriate. "Seriously. There are bigger and badder asswipes in the negaverse then Serandite and Val, er, Valleriite." His cursing was probably going to make poor Pasha have a seizure. The fact he also had a nickname for one of the negaverse agents was slightly odd. "Val thinks of this as a game. Entertainment. Out of the negafreaks I've encountered, she's rather sane." Elzo looked annoyed. "Don't know s**t about aliens personally, not counting the fact we are technical aliens coming from stars and all that bullshit. Charonite though..." A leg was lifted up and a sock pulled down. A thick jagged scar wrapped around his ankle. "Out of them, Charonite is a guy we won't be able to ******** with. An Indian Jones wannabe with a whip that leaves you a little parting gift should you luckily escape."
The sock was pulled back up, the scar hidden from view. "And that's Tonbernite you're talking about Aurora. The little s**t stole my pan flutes. Never seen him since." Knuckles popped.
"But you know who I say you should all kill if you see her? Nealite." Rage was evident on Elzo's face, his words sharp. "When I first hit the scene she was just a Lieutenant. Then I hit super and she hit captain. I had every ******** chance to kill her but no, I didn't. You know what happened?" Jaimie looked ready to sock him. Jaimie might have recalled a certain fight at Hillworth. Elzo got pissed a didn't calm easily all the time. "She turned into Beryl. That name not ring a bell? Let me tell you, it's the goddamn mother ******** QUEEN. Have any of you run into her? No? Then none of you can piss and moan about s**t. You saw someone die brutally? Big ******** deal. How many of you had to watch some one look you in the face, some you you swore to protect die because of you? That they were targeted because of you? None? Go figure. So far, Bell over there is the only one who has any reason to piss and moan because she's come that close to death." A fist slamming into a wall, thankfully not breaking into it. Rage ebbed.
"Nealite houses the soul of Beryl, some one we can't fight. We just don't have that power. Nealite however..." Deep breaths seemed to be calming him down. "If you have the chance to kill her before she turns into Beryl, do it. Beryl is...just...' Elzo shuddered. "Three times." He held up three fingers. "Three times I've had someone's hand in my chest, and all of those times I came that close to death. You know that prickling you get in the back of you neck from the negaverse? that dark power, Chaos? Beryle chokes you with it. If Kunzite hadn't shown up that night, I would have died. No if ands or buts."
Elzo's rant was coming to a ******** all. Now I'm depressed." Rolling over, he let his back face the group. Let them mull over it.

Lily jaw dropped at the language spewing from Elzo's mouth. She did not think she'd ever been in the company of someone who would speak in such a manner. She could understand he was upset, but his rant was making her a bit angry. Firstly, he was being extremely rude, in his delivery of his speech and secondly he wasn't there, or at least she thought she wasn't.
Lily stood shaking slightly, but tried to remain calm as she turned on the Elzo. "Yes, you have every right to be angry and no I cannot relate to be having my starseed pulled out, save for that nightmare, but your language is truly appalling and whole unnecessary and you should not try to downplay the experiences of other. And yes, that is what it sounds like you are doing."
Green-blue eyes glared at the boy, "The alien tree sacrificed it's life to save us. Myself and several other's were trapped in a glowling sphere of energy while Charonite, a purple-grey dreadlocke sporting man, their king ordered is nega-army to kill the aliens. A ponytailed red head with a gaint sword sicked his gaint beetle youma on one of them. It ate him, and chewed on him bones like it was a delicious snack. We were trapped listening to frantic panic screams. They were desperate, we were suppose to help. We said we would help! But, we were trapped and no matter how hard we tried to escape we couldn't."
Lily had been bottling it up, not wanting to think or talk about it, but now the incident spilled forth. She couldn't stop the words from coming. "A crazy purple haired girl ... she ... she attacked one them with her arm. HER ARM ATE THE ALIENS HEAD. DEVOURS HER DOWN TO A CLEAN SKULL ... her arm ... her arm ate her. It was nothing to the girl. The same girl took a piece of the tree, the aliens mothers, and shoved it right through another one of them. That guy with with the bettle, shoved his giant sword right through another, he was proud of what he did, driving it in deeper before he ... before he started to paint the energy dome with the him, smearing his blood everywhere. The last alien, she was just a child ... she had to watch everyone else die. She begged for help, and it seemed like he would help her. Another with dreadlocks and a scar on his face, he hugged her close and snapped her neck." Her rant decreased in volume as she came close to the end of the retelling.
"We were sitting ducks against a whole fleet. They brought an army to take down a tree. We were next. They we're hungry for blood. Phone calls we're sent out, but they we're frantic and hard to understand. Charonite argued with a princess, un I forget her name, but she tried to organize us ... and then .. and then they just left."
Lily was much calmer now, more resigned, "Maybe my experience can't compare," she whispered, "but I will never forget that night so long as I live. I will always remember the sheer terror I felt, the hopelessness, the horror, the magnitude of that night."
Lily sighed deeply, still visibling shaking as she plopping down on the floor, breathing deeply, trying to push the images away. She didn't want to think about it anymore. No, her nightmares we're bad enough. Those negaverser's killed her repeatedly in ways she did not even think was possible at night.

"Tanz and Obsidian." He mumbled under his breath. "Batshit. Both of em." Back was still facing them all. "People die all the time you c**k sucking p***y." He put emphasis on his curses. "Get over it."
Words hung bitterly in the air. You didn't get over it. Not really.

Selena was starting to feel a little awkward.
She was about to describe Valleriite and Paragonite when Elzo piped up. And apparently had quite a lot to get off of his chest. She seemed to perk up a bit when he mentioned Valleriite - so he'd met her too? - but then he went off on a tangent. Or maybe Valleriite was the tangent, and this was the real business. It sounded that way, at least.
Selena didn't mind the language as much. She lived with her uncle Scottie, and he wasn't exactly wary of language should he stub his toe, or cut his finger whilst cooking. Scottie was more of an older brother - heck, he'd taught Selena most of the curses she knew. The scar seemed to shock the dark-haired girl, a small gasp escaping her mouth, though whether it was loud enough for everyone to hear she wasn't sure.
She let Elzo finish, and sat quietly for a few moments, before finally piping up in a somewhat shy voice, "What does Nealite look like? Or Beryl?" She wanted to be ready, if they were as bad as he said they were. And judging by the sheer amount of anger and...emotion he'd just exploded, she was pretty sure he wasn't exaggerating. She felt sorry for him, agreed with him whole-heartedly, but was afraid to say incase he got angry at her.
She was new to this. He'd seen more, experience far more than she had. This was why she was here, at these meetings - to learn, to avoid herself getting killed out there.

"That," Jaimie's voice had gone almost as cold as Castor's attacks. "Is a damn good question. Would you care to share that little tidbit with us, or are we all so incredibly inept that we should all run into her WITHOUT that information and make some more tragic stories for you to b***h about."
It wasn't that Castor didn't have a point about the great danger of Beryl. He did. By god he did, but it absolutely rankled that he acted as though their own experiences, and by god Moonstone had demonstrated every intent to kill him, just not by pulling out his starseed, but by bludgeoning him to death, were pointless, even worthless.
Castor had clearly been saving up for a while, but that didn't mean that the rest of them needed an bitching out instead of information... and telling them to 'suck up' that people died?
That made his stomach churn with rage.

Tallulah chucked the notepad back at Elzo, followed by the pen, as hard as she could. This only barely made up for the fact that she still threw like a girl, but it was a decent try and maybe the marker would catch him somewhere it hurt. "Stop it," she scolded. "Bad dog."
The meeting was rapidly getting out of control and she needed to rein it in before her mother busted the whole thing up. Because that would be bad.
"While you make good points, it would be more helpful if you would describe the woman in question." She had produced another pad of sticky notes and a sharpie from somewhere and was scrambling to write on them as she berated the wayward boy on her bed. "They're psycho. We've all fought them. They're scary s**t and it seems like they're more powerful than us and older than us and they have a leadership structure, which is more than we can show our sorry asses for." Tallulah did not curse often. This gave it more impact, almost, if it weren't slightly comical.
"And if we all don't keep it down," she said, looking pointedly at Lily, who was in near hysterics, and Jaimie, who looked about ready to tear Elzo a new one, "My mother is going to wise up that we're not really working on a school project, so would you all stop cursing at each other and focus?"
She was getting louder and ever slightly shriller as she spoke. There was a knock on the door.
"Everything okay in there, hon?" called Nellie Cowden from outside.
"Fine, mom," Tallulah called back hesitantly. "We're just... debating project outlines." A long pause followed as she waited for the sound of her mother's retreating footsteps, and then the cacophony exploded again, everyone talking at once. Tallulah struggled to make herself heard over the din, and had a strong sense that if Elzo and Jaimie got any more riled, she would have to throw herself between them to prevent a full-out brawl from erupting.
"No one patrols alone if they don't have to!" she yelled. "Trade phone numbers, or make a schedule right now, or whatever works, but no one is facing Moonstone or Tanzanite or Nealite or even Beryl by themselves. We've fought them, we've had to get bailed out - no one goes in alone."
She stared stonily at the assembled students, and then added, deadpanning, "Elzo, stop molesting my teddy bear."

Lily had jumped up and was ready to make a grab for Elzo. She wanted to shake him or slap him or something, but Tallulahs scolding reined her in before she could actually complete the action. She turned around and flopped down on the bed looking rather dejected.
"I am really sorry Tallulah. I do not usually act like this. I guess being a senshi gives one a lot of pent up anger and frustration," she said with her head bowed.
She was about apologize to Elzo when the knock at the door made her head shoot up. She blushed furiously realizing they warranted being checked on. After the rather long and awkward pause she was startled by Tallulah's yelling, shouting out orders. Lily nodded frantically, pulling out her cell phone and summoning her senshi cell phone.
"Errr ... I forgot to ask Argo Navis, um she's a senshi with awesome boot, a simple boots and purple hair, but anyway when she explained the cell phone to me, I forgot to ask if it also worked like a normal phone. And on top of that," she said before looking between Elzo and Tallulah, "I described them yes, but I do not know, um which is which. Tanzanite and Obsidian, that is."

Tallulah crossed the room swiftly, picking her way between Lily and Rose on her tiptoes, and removed her very orange senshi phone from her bedside drawer. She held it up. "The cats are notoriously bad about telling us things we need to know," she explained apologetically.
"So let's go over this." She flipped the phone open, showing them the keypad and a background picture of a grumpy-looking black guardian cat in a cravat. "The camera functions are replaced with scan - point and click at a senshi and it'll tell you their name, their sphere, and their phone number? Are you following me?"
She crossed back to the board, where she thought she could better hold their attention. "We've got unlimited mobile-to-mobile calling with any other senshi phones," she added, "but I'm not sure about regular phones. I think it works when we're not transformed, but Astraea said it'll play a random pop song if we try while we are. I don't think they have texting right now."
She looked around the room, lips pursed thoughtfully. "I have all of your numbers except..." she jabbed a finger at Selena, catching the dark-haired girl off guard. "Eos. So I'll pass a contact sheet around. Everyone put everyone else's number in their contacts and... Besides a few outstanding questions of what these people look like, I think we're done?"
She pulled a piece of notebook paper out of a bin at the bottom of her closet and scribbled down a few numbers. She passed it around.
"Meeting adjourned. I'll call about patrol or find you at school."
