"Well arnt YOU a little s**t." She glared at the new Lieutenant, not afraid to talk down to someone at her rank. The man seemed more interested in grabbing scheelites a** than even shaking a hand? "You know, never mind. i dont want to know where your hands have BEEN." She growled, wheeling around.
What caught her attention was the sudden blinding light, hell it even made HER step back. Lowering her lantern, she watched with eyes open wide. She stared in awe.... they were being shown a story, like a home movie... but through a birds eye view. problem being... was said story real, or fake?

"Say it Skee-lite, cause dude I'm not a girl and I don't -care- if it's the right way to say it the whole 'she' thing weirds me out kay?"
Then there was an arm around his waist and the blonde looked really damn confused. Usually people squirmed away or fussed when he sprawled all over them, and this one...just huh?
But as quick as it had come it was gone, and when Scheelite looked around to discover why he saw Zink prying it away..with fire blazing in his eyes. Fire he somewhat recognized as the same fire that blazed in his eyes whenever anyone tried to hurt his partner.
Awwwww.
A wide grin now in place, Captain Scheelite returned his focus back to the mirror for about ten seconds.
"Duuuude, look at the weird wand thing, and the ball! It looks just like the earth!"
Then he was distracted again by glancing between the new lieutenant and Zink. What was going on here? Faya didn't seem so pleased either...
He really -was- dense sometimes.

"Scheelite. Uh huh." That hadn't been inappropriate or disrespectful, had it? Ilmenite hissed as Zink squeezed his hand, his own expression gone sharp and unhappy. There was no need to resort to force, really, especially when Scheelite was still all over him...
But, like the others, his eyes were hauled onto the image, and he lost whatever backtalk he'd been about to spill -- and get beaten down for. Probably for the best. Not that he had any idea what the hell was going on but...she was oddly fascinating anyway.

Zinkenite glanced towards Tanzinite, break eye contact, don't say anything don't do anything don't make more questions...except one.
"...Senshi of... Earth?" He said tentatively. "...There can't be..." He scowled, could there? A senshi?...HERE?
But then, if there was one, where was she now... why was SHE not here instead of Them.

While Zink and Scheelite tried to put a lieutenant in their place, certainly nothing he had to step in for to do, he continued to watch the little movie that was being shown in the mirror, all the while tearing his eyes away to glance around. He didn't want to be too transfixed on the mirror and wind up being attacked. Putting his back to such a open space made him paranoid, and so he watched before his attention was absorbed in what he saw. While the little magic show wasn't anything he'd clap over, though to people in the past it was probably downright amazing, It was the globe that all blew them over, and he frowned at the mention of a senshi of Earth. "But senshi come from the moon. From space. Why would we have one? It better just be some senshi of orbs or globes." He was really against the idea of there being such a senshi.

"If..every other planet, or star, or whatever has a Senshi...wouldn't it make sense for Earth to have one too?"
Scheelite pried himself off of Ilmenite and shifted, thankfully not moving to hang off of anyone else for now.
"..I mean really, the thought sucks, but they're aliens yeah? But to like...Mars, we're aliens and Earth having a Senshi would make her an alien too and..."
It made sense...at times. A lot of it was just typical Scheelite rambling though.

"...Well. It... i guess it would make...sense to have a senshi from our world too? If other worlds have them... we are a planet too." Not that she liked it any more than the others did, a senshi on THEIR planet? "...At least they didnt destroy earth." Her eyes narrowed, remembering back to what Zink once told her about other worlds the senshi were from.
"....Schee you actually made sense there." She said blinding, he said it way better than she did.

Tanzanite had been watching, or at least trying to. However, the disruptive new Lieutenant who seemed just hellbent on causing a ruckus kept slowly drawing her agitated glare. He was dangerously close to a black arm lashing out to snatch him by the throat, but the General kept her temper.
Well, almost.
“Captain Scheelite, please inform your Lieutenant of my policy on being <******** stupid.”
As the others spoke about the woman before them, the senshi of Earth, Tanzanite was silent. It was an odd revelation to a woman who considered herself first and foremost aligned with Earth itself, but it was not beyond her understanding. From what she knew of the senshi, from what Ares and others had told her, it made sense.
“Why wouldn't there be a senshi of Earth,” Tanzanite said at length, “There was a senshi of the Moon. Senshi of almost every known planet or constellation? Senshi of nebulas and decay. There's a senshi of everything, why not one of Earth? As such, she would be welcome here. It does not change the fact that they are not.”
Her brow furrowed, and black claws drummed against the side of her leg, “We did not invade their homes. They've no right to invade ours.”

"Huh?'"
Schee glanced over at Tanz, back to Ilmenite, then back at Tanz again with a tilted head.
"He's...not mine? But! Okay!"
Then he turned back to Ilmenite once more and launched into his speech.
"Tanzanite over there does not appreciate people being <******** stupid. You act stupid, she reserves the right to feed any part of your body and or starseed to her arm. Yes, it has a mouth, yes it will eat you, and yes it may even sing while doing so! But you caaaan act stupid, if she likes you! Hint, she doesn't like you yet."
Aha, new person to drape all over found! Sorry Tanzanite, you seem to now have a Schee-leech that's very interested in hanging on your still human arm.
"Tanzy here likes me, you...I wouldn't suggest getting too close to omnomnom range, kay?"

Try as Wolframite might, there seemed to be no other conclusion to make about this senshi: to say she was the senshi of Earth was the simplest, and most straightforward explanation. What more that might imply about her was hard to say.
Like a fading watercolor blur, both the senshi and her audience faded away from the reflection, leaving the courtyard empty again. After a moment or two the scene started to play itself out all over again, with the people milling about, the senshi re-arriving, the audience re-gathering. It looked as though this mirror had no more stories to tell.

Tanzanite was frowning so hard that one might have thought there were invisible fingers pulling down either side of her mouth. It was impressive, really, that anyone could frown quite so hard as she did the moment Scheelite wrapped his hands around her arm. Tanzanite had a list of problems that stretched on forever, but personal space issues had made a comfortable home near the very top of that list.
Hell, not even Linarite really put hands on her in public. Even as the image replayed itself over again, the distraction was almost overwhelming.
It took a moment for the General to gather her temper and reign it back to provide a reasonable reaction, but after a while the two-tone voice spoke in a calm tone, “Captain, are you interested in losing one of your arms?”

Poor Scheelite, he had no concept of personal space and was surrounded by people who didn't seem to enjoy the affectionate blonde hanging off of them. Except that new guy, he didn't seem to mind at all! During the time that Tanzanite frowned the hardest frown known in the universe Scheelite clung on. Even as she tried to reign in her temper he simply clung on and grinned like an idiot.
It was the simple question that finally wiped that grin off his face and made him decide that maybe letting go of Tanzanite was a good idea.
"...Er...no, I already have a messed up knee, I'd like to keep my arms thanks..."
Sheepishly rubbing a hand through his hair, Scheelite moved the hell away from Tanzanite and decided that exploring somewhere -away- from the mirror and the gathering was definitely a good idea.

It seemed to be a agreed upon idea that there was a senshi of Earth which made him GUESS that doing tricks for an Earth audience was alright. Still, it nagged at him, and he glared at the woman prancing about with her senshi fuku and wand. "If there is one, that's another thing we have on our list to find out. If she's walking around, we need her on our side and not to be taken in by the other senshi. Let's hope that when we find her, if she's even around, she can do more than little tricks." He said, turning his back to the image and then moving to Tanzanite with a completely different expression. "You okay?" He asked, in reference to her stitches. He didn't like Scheelite draping on her and causing her any pain. To which he shot a look at the boy that said he should have known better.
"We should keep going and see if there are more mirrors or anything that's useful." He pointed out, hoping to keep them on track. His eyes flickered to the mirror again and he had a strong urge to break it. Luckily he didn't, and he looked back at Tanzanite.

Grabbing Scheelite's face with her gloved hands, General-Queen Apatite smushed his cheeks together.
"Aren't you a smart little Captain pants?" Making a fish face at the glowing captain, Apatite bounced on her heels, grinning toothily at the small crowd among the mirror.
"Ah, history! Isn't it grand? Don't you love finding out where you came from, what it is that we stand for? And isn't it lovely that we get to see it in full technicolour? Lovely, just lovely." Her voice took on a grating, sing-song quality.
"She's a pretty little bite, isn't she? Sweet little face, looks like she couldn't harm a fly-- not like your cute face, right?"
Kneeling beside Tanzanite's arm, she rubbed it against her own face, purring gently.

Scheelite didn't know better, never knew better, and---
"What the ---mprphmrfhhh!"
There was a General Queen. Standing in front of him. Smooshing his cheeks together. He should be horrified! He should be flailing wildly for someone to come help him.
Instead he took it as the praise it was clearly meant to be, saluted, and burst out into giggles at the silly face Apatite was making at him. Oh yes, he could definitely get along with this one.
Thankfully (for everyone -else- in the room) she was gone soon enough to go examine Tanzanite's arm (unfortunately for her, of course).
