"I guess we just have to trust our leaders to be smart about whatever move we make next." Trust was hard though. Especially when one didn't exactly trust their allies...
"Christmas was one, kinda?" He replied in reference to the last Negaverse 'party'. Though he wasn't sure that counted, considering how it turned out...
Bismuthite hadn't been around for the vast majority of the things Wolframite had. He'd never been on a team, hadn't been around for the time when starseeds were all the Negaverse took, had never known Nealite...
"Nonsense," Bismuthite ruffled the General's hair a little, "maybe a little seasoned, but that just means you're a little wiser than other around here. Experienced, would be a good word. I'd say that counts for more than rank, in some cases."
Seriously. He'd been here longer than a small few of the other generals they had in their midst, and yet he was still just a Captain, though by no other fault than his own. He also knew Lieutenants who had been here since long before him.
"Because of that I know there is a lot you can offer the Negaverse. Just don't forget to enjoy your life outside of it, or else all of this really will make you old before your time. You'll look forty by the time you hit twenty-five," he joked.
Bismuthite, Billy, tried to do what he could to foster a life outside of all this war and strife for them both. It was a duty to his General that he took very seriously.

"Thanks Leto." Smiling as he opened his drink. Taking a tentative sip he pulled a face, wrinkling his nose up, before he answered her.
"I'm planning on a hot soak and then bed. Tomorrow I'll be working on some excuse for the parents and the sort of significant other." A simple shrug as he spoke, as if such things weren't all that important. He had no problems in admitting to things casually. He wasn't the sort to come right out and say something without reason, he was a somewhat private person, but it was part of his plans so he mentioned it.
"Going home Leto?" He asked, after another sip of beer. "Perhaps I should take you out soon, treat you to cheesecake?" He offered, smiling at her. He liked meeting up with her, she was easy to talk to and he liked to consider her a friend. He also knew she liked cheesecake.

"Any time, Beni!" She snickered as she watched the expression on his face as he drank his beer, while finishing off her own.
"Yeah, if Howlite thinks I look like s**t I should probably get home and clean myself up!" Her hand balled into a fist, crushing the beer can between her fingers, then hopping off the table. "It's a date. You need to tell me all about this significant other you've failed to mention to me. And I can't say no to cheesecake, you know that."
She stuck her tongue out and glanced over in Howlite's direction to let her know she was ready when she was.
"Gimme a call, we'll get together soon."
She turned and waved to the group of Negaverse Agents. "It was a pleasure working with you all tonight, and I look forward to hopefully a whole lot more of that in the future."
Next, she turned to any lingering Dark Mirror Senshi. "We'll have a meeting soon. Get home safely, call me if you need me."
Now, she waited for Howlite to finish her chat with Zinkenite.

It was a brief, quiet conversation, and Howlite clapped her hand on the shorter man's shoulder in an expression of camaraderie and respect. They would meet up the next morning.
Her eye caught by Leto, the blonde general grinned, and stepped up to her side, offering her arm like a true gentleman. "M'lady."
The two disappeared.

Chariklo sighed and finished her visual inspection as she inhaled a slice of pizza. Not as bad as she'd have expected, but not unscathed either. Her shoulder would be tender and stiff for a day or two as would her gut where she'd been kicked and punched. But she could deal with bruises.
Especially if she could find a certain Dark Mirror with the healing touch.
As it was, she was left alone to think and consider far too may things. She held herself to a strict code. And as far as she could tell, some of their Dark Kingdom allies followed no code at all. Unless pointless torture was a code. No, as it stood, the tall dark senshi so far only had respect for those who'd simply gone in and gotten the job done. They may have killed, but it had been cleanly and with with a minimum of suffering. With luck, she'd only be asked to interact with those few if she needed to team up in the future.
But for now, she would eat pizza, sneak a beer where she could and keep an eye open for her Queen. And in the meantime, she would hunt Virtus down. She needed some warm fuzzies right now.

He reached up to fix his hair, before glancing at the pizza and beer. A shower and a warm bed sounded more and more inviting, and he glanced as a few people were already leaving. Maybe they could take the pizza to go. No point in wasting.
Leaning in, he looked at the box of pizza before them that wasn't being touched. "You know, no one's going to eat all this pizza. People are leaving." He stretched out. "And there is that warm bed somewhere..." He looked over at Bismuthite. No superiors around to keep civil about.

"I'm hurt," he continued to complain to his girlfriend. Her company was oddly settling, something that he hadn't found her to be in a while. Normally when she was around him, he was reminded he had a girlfriend and that made him die a little inside. But at this moment? It was nice to have a girlfriend. "I think I need some kiss and care to make it better."He then whispered into her ear with a coy smile a few other parts of his body that might need some kisses and care later. He thought she was the only one who could really comfort him after that long night, until he spotted another glittering prize: beer. Sure, it wasn't a fine glass of scotch, but it was booze nonetheless. And sure, he felt uncomfortable as hell supervising a bunch of teenagers getting drunk, but he had also ripped the starseed out of a teenager earlier that night, so he should probably let underage drinking slide by his radar. "Want a beer?" he asked before already walking off without an answer. It was courteous to ask, at least? Maybe?

Jarosite nodded at Zinkenite's words, then dissolved back into his pizza. Man he felt like s**t. Even though they'd won. The captain sighed and pulled his headphones up over his ears and pulled his collar up. He leaned down to undo the buckles on his boots, and the belts on his jacket, but otherwise closed himself off from anything beyond his pizza. He ran a hand through his hair over the headphone band, and pulled his it free from the tie.
Man he'd screwed up. He'd followed orders as best he could but... at what cost? He glanced over at the table and eyed the beer. He could use about four of those right now... Jarosite pushed himself to his feet and walked over. He picked up two of the cans, and pocketed two more.
... Had he missed his birthday this year? Oh damn he had. Between college rejection letters and Odette and the Negaverse, somehow his eighteenth birthday came and went with no celebration.
Damn.
He found another pillar, closer to the table, and opened one of the cans. To drink his cares away again... Jarosite sighed and watched the festivities with sullen eyes.
Damn I messed up with her didn't I? ... ********>

Sassolite liked the idea of instruments and was half tempted to teleport out to get some but then she opened another beer and just relaxed with her feet on the table listening to others conversations. She watched as Leto came towards them and more then happily watched her leave again.
She paid attention to what was going on in a half-caring way but really she wanted to get drunk, find someone to flirt with and let the night have its way. She wasn't sure she would get that here and the temptation to teleport to a club was growing. People were leaving so it wouldn't be a huge problem to go and get drunk and party all night...
She picked up another beer deciding that she would wait it out for a while in case something interesting happened, otherwise she was off getting drunk.

"Maybe we can start with that shower..." Bismuthite suggested with a grin as he scraped some dried blood off of his arm. And he was all about taking a box of pizza. It wasn't like it would be missed amongst the other still untouched boxes that remained... It would be a well enjoyed treat after-... Okay. Home. Now. He was sure if they missed anything important due to leaving, they'd hear about it later. But considering people were leaving... Oh to hell with it. He was following his General's orders. And if that was to go home and hop in to the bed, shower, or whatever, he'd do it. Because yes, he was Wolfy's pet. Undeniably.

Realgar's eyebrow twitched upward again as he was handed off a partially finished beer, but in a surprising moment of camaraderie in general (Or maybe just because General Kings were actually pretty impressive), he elected to let it slide without noting that he was not, in fact, a cup holder.
Besides, after the face Zink had made, he had the feeling the young GK wasn't going to be returning for his frosty hoppy beverage, which was no great loss, since he was starting to feel like one of the few people here who was going home to a bed without someone bipedal and 'friendly' in it.
"Well I for one think we ought to enjoy this while we can."
Tomorrow it was back to business, balancing his jobs and the negaverse, trying to do his job and lick his wounds all at the same time. The particular tight rope he was balancing wasn't always as exciting as tonight had been, but there would be moments.
He took another swig of his original beer with an appreciative sigh. It might not have been the fanciest stuff on the market but even a cheap can of the stuff had it's place. This was one of those places.
Victory made everything taste better.

It seemed that for a good while the Corrupted Guardian Dahlia was absent from the celebratory gathering. Very few probably noticed, too busy with their food and company, and had she known that she would have given a very nasty expression to them all. But in her mind they were waiting.
And in her mind, she needed to look NICE if she was going to a party. Being fashionably was always a way to make an appearance.
Tucked away not far from the group, Dahlia had set her self at the task of cleaning up the mess that was her ruffled fur. Dried blood was lapped at until it finally left her light colored fur, a full body bath helping to push fur in the right direction and not all willy nilly from her fight with that White Moon cat.
It was only when she looked like kitty perfection that she stood, adjusting her necklace before finally making her enterance. The creamy white cat made her way through the crowd, fluffy tail like a shark fin announcing her presence wherever she went, circling feet here and there. She may have even attempted to beg (in a dignified manner) some pizza off someone.
It was nice to see everyone pretty happy and social, albeit tired from their battle. It was just one win it what was sure to be plenty more to come.

Wolframite glanced at him at the remark about a shower. "You can go first then." Of course, he was missing the point of his remark. Rising, he took a box that they were already feeding off of, and then touched the officer's shoulder. "I'll take you home then." He said, more for show.
Then, with that, General Wolframite and Captain Bismuthite were gone.

Zink took his seat again but left the beer with Realgar with a small shrug. No, the man was not a cup holder, but he’d probably enjoy it a great deal more than the General-King did. He did however stop to greet a certain small cat. “Dahlia.” He said crouching to stroke a hand over her primped and cleaned fur, now free of the nasty ‘muss’ of battle before retrieving her a slice of pizza, having watched her make EVER so dignified implications that she would rather enjoy some. He made sure that it had anchovies as well, fish, cats…it seemed to make sense right?

"General King Zinkenite. Congratulations on the win." She returned the greeting with an affectionate purr ringing through her voice, tilting her head momentarily into the scratching. She was incredibly proud of him and how well he'd helped to lead the attack that had gone down. Truely without someone at the helm they might have been just as 'chicken with it's head cut off' chaotic as the disorganized senshi had been. But no. They had rallied, even with fewer fighters on their side, and certainly that had something to do with the General King and Princess that had been at the lead of it.
She silently noted her good taste, and the luck (or maybe it was skill) that had allowed her to make friends early on with such a powerful friend.
And accomodating at that. A toothy feline grin was offered before she dipped down to lap up one of the tiny fishes on top of her pizza slice, tail waving with obvious pleasure. "I should thank you too for giving me a few more senshi too." It was true, the senshi that had been brought over to their side and would soon be under her watch and care almost made her dance with excitement.
