 -If nothing else, Aurora's new senshi powers had fueled her interest in metal. It wasn't something delicate, or lovely to her in the past, but now she was beginning to see it in a new light. Shiny, beautiful, sleek. If she weren't so irritated at that jerk she'd met in the junk shop, she might have thanked him for helping introduce her to the kinds she wanted. The kinds that could become potential weapons.
Today she had been tempted by something a bit prettier however as she happened by a jewelry store. Silver hairs clips, with sparkling stones rested at the bottoms of her braids, a bracelet and necklace that bordered on guady jangling from her wrist and neck. She hadn't spent that much money in a LONG time. But hey, it was an investment right?
Smiling, she tried to nudge away the voice in her head that noted the unliklehood of her using her new treasures for weapons.-

Lieutenant Torbernite rubbed his ball furiously. Ever since the last battle, it had gotten a bit of a rather unwanted stain, and even know the clot of red seemed out of place with the orange. Finally deciding with a sigh that the stain seemed rather permanent, he stuffed the weapon - his 'Dragon Ball', even - back into his pocket and shuffled in a rather meaningless more-or-less-patrolling amble.
Ever since the ordeal with a couple of his fellow Negaverse Lieutenants, things had seemed unreal and slightly terrifying. Sometimes he felt as if life had no meaning, that everything was-
Oh hello. Was that something shiney?
All thoughts of meaningless lives shoved in the backburner faster than an emo kid could say "Crawling in my skin", his eyes swerved towards the direction of whatever had glistened in the sun. And with amazingly hawklike-eyes he located his target of the day, a walking piece of Things to Steal.
Which just happened to also be what looked like a Crystal Academy girl, and a creeping premonition of You Might Get Your a** Kicked blared in his mind in code red. Ok, he thought, Let's think and learn from the last incidents then.
With as much self-restraint as he could harness on himself, he tried to busy himself with other tasks, such as staring at the empty mid-afternoon sidewalks. Short of a deus ex machina he had learned his lesson from stealing from girls, especially.

-She was oblivious to the inspection she was recieving, and just as oblivious of the soft ting ting ting that her bracelet made as it slid off her wrist and bounced across the sidewalk. Her hand had raised to brush against her bangs softly and off it had went. She probably should have stuck with something less rounded and more loose.
Pausing for a moment, she rustled through her sachel mildly, hunting out her daily planner. Scanning the next appointment listed "Homework for Sociology", she began to walk again, unknowingly leaving behind the treasure.-

Yep, the sidewalk sure was meaningful. It had patches of grass in it, and he had discovered there were also small cracks in the cement and apparently what seemed like a bracelet lying there, all alone and ripe for the picking.
He did a double take. Clearly, the lack of any sort of 'collecting' activity recently must be getting straight to him, maybe this was a withdrawal sort of phase where everything he saw looked steal-able. With that thought in mind, he blinked several times, and rubbed his eyes.
Nope, it was still there.
Prior girl and possibility as to how the bracelet got there all forgotten, he curiously approached the discarded item, staring at it dubiously. Crouching down, he poked it. Instead of disappearing into imaginary smoke and clouds, assuming hallucinatory items did that, it jangled a bit in the softest, most delicate sound.
It was real.
And apparently there did exist a certain god who loved him just so much that they would leave pieces of jewelry there for his taking. Without so much as a backwards thought as to the wheres and how's, he snatched up said item greedily, listening to it jangle noisily as if in protest.
Well, finders keepers? Giving it one last satisfied glance, he put the item in his pocket, turning happily to walk away.

-It had finally been the weight that she'd noticed, or the lack of it on her wrist.. the lack of the subtle wiggle on her wrist. Glancing down at her wrist lightly, she paused, bristling at it's disappearance.
She hadn't even had it 30 minutes! How the hell could she lose it so quickly? Aurora glanced at her feet and then promptly pivoted, searching for the piece. First leg warmers and NOW this? When had she gotten so forgetful, so clumsy..?
Her eyes were searching the ground, but it was the sunlight that found the piece for her. In the hands of some boy. She smiled softly, waiting for him to call to her that she'd dropped it. But that was not what happened.
The piece slipped into his pocket and her voice raised immediately in a less than ladylike shout. In fact, it was downright aggressive.- "HEY!"

At this point he wouldn't even have cared if a meteor had threatened to fall on the planet in seven days: he had his Shiny, his patrolling was as "done" for the night as it ever would be, and oh, did he mention that he had something shiny?
All star-seed attempting heists, as normal, forgotten, he entertained himself with thoughts of where to put this newly acquired item when he heard what seemed like an angry feminine voice shouting out angrily into the desolate street way. Weeks of being attacked by these feminine type of voices made him more nervous than usual. Torbernite flinched, and guiltily, almost dramatically slowly, turned around.
Sure enough, there was a rather outraged, but thankfully not magical, girl staring straight at him. And boy did she look pissed.
Ok, why the heck was she angry at him? It wasn't like he actually STOLE something, not unless that that bracelet actuall-
- Oh. Aw man.
"Wait!" He began, putting his hands up as per usual rather defensively, "I-I can explain!" He thought for a second. "Actually.... you know what, I cant."
With that rather honest confession, he turned around, and started running, heading for the first alleyway down the street.

 -Aurora's whole body shivered with rage, as she watched the boy not only disregard her, but actually run off. He intended to keep it. Her expensive new bracelet!
Boys were bad. She knew this, had known this for a long long time. They rough housed and made messes like brutes. They hurt each other without thought.. they did horrible perverse things. Horrible animalistic actions with no brain on their heads to keep them from behaving. Boys were quite literally monsters. But this one.. this one was a no good rotten thief too!
She jogged to the alleyway as quickly as she could in her less than sensible shoes, her rage only growing when she didn't see him. He must have turned already. Digging through her purse she withdrew the familar pen, the one that was supposed to be used for much less petty reasons than this. And with a flash of color and sparkles she had slightly more sensible shoes... and a skirt that you could see clear through.
Boots pounding the pavement with a thankful boost in speed, she whipped around the corner, her teeth gritted, eyes narrowed in an angry glare. Ohhhhh, she was going to teach that boy a lesson!-

For a second, the light tapping of feet behind him stopped, and he sighed, relieved. She must have given up due to his awesome, superb thief running skills after all.
Now that the coast was clear, he chanced to take out the super shiny awesome bracelet again, admiring the craftwork of it: it must have cost a pretty penny as well! Proud of his handiwork, he turned to leave-
- and suddenly heard a set of much louder, angrier footsteps from behind him. Trepidation building within him tenfold, instinctively turned around. Not even ten meters from him and running faster was a strange girl wearing boots and a short skirt. Seriously why the heck would one wear winter boots with a ski-
-Oh ******** on earth? What was a SENSHI doing here for crying out loud, how come they couldn't come that one time when Scheelite was around and actually, ok ok, stop panicking, Toby. He chanced to look at his outfit for a second. Crap no luck, still in Lieutenant wear. There was still a chance that she didn't see him pick up that girl's bracelet though, and he debated on instinctively running, or 'playing dead'.
... Could he EVEN outrun a senshi?
Stiffly standing his ground, he waited until the other approached, smiling rather nervously. Maybe she was new and didn't know what a Negaverse agent looked like? "Ah, um, hello," Torbernite chanced to say, while his mind screamed that perhaps saying 'hello' to one's nemesis was not the smarted thing in the universe. Oh, maybe he should comment about the weather too while digging himself into the darkening pit of death. "Just taking a... er, stroll is all. Nothing to see here!"
And suddenly, fleeing seemed a lot wiser.

-Luckily for him, Polaris experience with Lieutenants so far had been the sole Lt Serandite. So the outfit that might have given him away.. instead simply looked like weird fashion. Unluckily for him, she didn't particular care about looking for youma or negaverse at the moment, she was focused on one particular 'theft' of property.
His strange, but pleasant enough greeting was ignored, Polaris pausing long enough to attempt to catch her breath, her voice rising accusingly.- "I saw what you did you little thief!!"
"What kind of no good street punk steals from innocent girls?" -Now that she noticed his strange clothing, she was sure that he was some street punk. Probably part of a gang that ran around stealing, and grafettiing, and probably knocking over poor little old ladies too!
Her fists clenched, her foot stomped, and before she could think of the fact that this was only a 'civilian' she was calling out her attack.- "Magnetic field!"
-The bracelet might have warned him if he paid attention as it began to shiver. Small metal items in the alley began to too shiver too, and suddenly they were flinging after the poor boy. A trashcan lid, change, screws... the alley was always her friend.... it always had tons of things. Not as much as the kitchen of course, but certainly it'd be enough to teach a thief to keep his grubby hands to himself.-

"Look-" he began, "I was gonna- ow!" He rubbed the back of his head as what looked like a stray trash can lid floated by him rather innocently. "What the- ack!" Now, it wasn't just trash can lids, but pipes fixings, discarded metal wire bits from the trashes, even the cans themselves were all floating upwards as is somehow animated by life, battering him rather viciously.
He didn't even notice that his once-procured braclet (and his twenty-six cents worth of change) had also graciously flown out of his grasp and had joined the collection: all that was going on his brain now was that he needed to get away, and fast.
Arms flailing from reliving a scene of Night of the Killer Inanimate Objects, he tried his best to bat away as many as he could, running around a bit like someone attacked by bees. Wait a second.. couldn't he just jump?!
Feeling like a dimwit, he gave one of the more belligerent pot pans a last swat and shot into the air, grabbing onto the closest railing, before using it to propel him nearly one-and-a-half stories up, vertically into the air. He landed with a somewhat graceful flop onto the flat-tiled building rooftop, quickly latching onto the chimney for support. Ok things really did not look so great from up here, now how the heck was he supposed to get down without falling face-flat on the pavement?
Oh well, at least he was away from that strange... senshi seriously. Why the heck did she even bother to lecture him if she was just gonna pummel him right afterwards?

-The first hit.. maybe even the second and third were all satisfying, Polaris' smile spreading across her face. As he batted and tried to escape the remaining shower of metal however, the inkling of guilt in her stomach grew larger and larger, making her wonder if there was anyway to turn her power off.. other than waiting for it to run it's course.
She'd even began to grimace a bit, stepping forward. This was bad... this was not... what a 'good guy' was supposed to be doing.. whether she was angry or not. Poor kid... Poor NAUGHTY kid.. but poor kid nonetheless.
And then he jumped.
Her eyes flew skyward as he did, filling with confusion. That... was a pretty freaking ridiculous jump. Could it be something as simple as adrenline? Had she run into some like.. superstar acrobat? It definately seemed weird... not right.-
"Hey, I'm not done with you!" -She called out as she attemped to repeat his strange feat. But she failed, her hands grabbed the guttering, but she didn't have the arm strength, and slowly she slid back towards the ground.
Huffing and puffing, she planted her feet on the ground, one hand on her hip and one finger from the other hand raising in an accusing shake.- "What makes you think it's okay to take things that don't belong to you? People work long and hard to gain money just to survive.. and maybe to treat themselves now and then. And you come and just TAKE their stuff without a care! Have you no shame or decency? Don't you care that you're hurting them? You.. you... little deliquent!!"

He was half-listening to her, really. The other half was still focused on clinging to the chimney for dear life, wondering if everything was supposed to look so small from this height. 'Oh god, oh god', he chanced one small footstep, and nearly lost control of his internal vitals as everything below him slightly swayed, 'Please, please dont fall, I am too young to die.'
And rougeishly handsome, if he didn't say so himself.
This thought was slightly interrupted by some sort of squeaking below him. Oh right, the senshi. He chanced to peer down at her, biting back the nausea to the best of his abilities. Was she STILL going on about him: he didn't even steal the stupid thing for crying out loud.
Making sure he had a firm, firm grip of the one seemingly-solid thing at this height, he glowered angrily right back at her. "Oh come on! I didn't TAKE it, it was right freaking there!" A part of him wondered why he was even reasoning with her, if he was back down there, she would be pummelling the s**t out of him again, just like any other sailor-suited girl of Graet Justice that he met.
Wait a second, if she was so angry at him, why wasn't she jumping up to attack him? A slow smile spread across his face, and suddenly, he felt a lot more confident on his albeit slightly higher-than-usual safe perch. His free foot scuffled with some of the flat tiling, giving the loose cement a good kick, watching it fall onto the ground. Hopefully that would jilt her a bit now that he had the higher ground. "Geez if you're so angry at me," he mocked, "Why dont you come up here and show me how powerful a senshi you really are?"

-She fussed and fumed, stomping a booted foot, waggling her finger in a nagging way that was only so familiar having helped to raise (and scold many a times) her younger brothers. She hardly even noticed the fact that he wasn't really paying attention, until he called out again.
She bristled and hissed like a cat, shoulders curling in from her usually impecible posture, shouting hypocritcally.- "Of course you think you're right, and would refuse to apologize holligan! Has noone ever taught you manners?"
-She lifted her arm to shield the sudden shower of cement bits, grimacing as a few of the slightly larger chunks actually stung against her forearm. Bending down, she picked one up out of anger, and wailed it at the perched figure as hard and straight as she could, which wasn't really THAT hard or straight. In fact she quite certainly did throw like a girl.- "AND NOW VANDALIZING!!!"
-Once again, she tried to follow him, jumping high, but not nearly high enough, actually whimpering to the shock her knees received upon landing. It was one special word however that lit up despite the blinding anger and self rightousness.
Senshi... had he said senshi?
Clearly he'd dealt with them before.. which meant... either he was a REALLY REALLY bad boy. Or... could he really be... Negaverse? She wasn't going to take her chances, even if it meant feeling bad if he turned out to be a civilian.
Glancing around lightly, she jogged across the alleyway dragging one.. and then two trashcans, placing them underneath the hanging boy. If she couldn't get up there, maybe this would bring him down.-
"Magnetic field!!" -And the two metal cans were quickly hurtling upwards towards their target. It didn't really occur to the senshi however.. that maybe she should like.. step back. Incase the boy or the trashcans should come crashing back down to the ground.-

There was nothing quite like the sight of a huffy senshi, stomping her feet angrily and giving other lectures, from twenty feet below. If he wasn't hanging for dear life to the chimney, Torbernite might have just dropped over the side of the overhang in laughter.
He thought his insides were pretty much about to explode from chuckling at the attempt of the senshi to jump up, only to fall down like some angry dog after a stray cat, which was oddly, appropriate.
And that was when the trashcans started hurtling up right towards him. Torbernite's rather 'needs improvement' reflexes did nothing as his brain incredulously thought there was no way she could-
-Thonk went the first can as it hit him dead on in the face, the second smashing into his side, its unwieldy size making him loose grasp of the chimney he had been holding. Without even managing a single curse word out, he flailed as he pretty much for a single second, hung comically in mid-air, before grabbing the can closest to him, plummeting with said can down towards Ground Zero.
Well really, ground zero, and a senshi.
Hitting the cement with a magnificent thud, as he was lucky he had actually had the foresight to stick himself into the can to avoid most damage, he groaned, stepping out of the now-crushed shield, ears ringing, attempting to take two steps before he fell over, all but twitching.

-It wooooorked!! The sheer delight on her face lasted about as long as his defiance of gravity, eyes widening in an expression that clearly read 'OH s**t' all over it when everything that went up.. was now suddenly hurtling down.
She scurried backwards, and sideways in the mere seconds she had trying to avoid the biggest hazard 'thief boy and his trashcan bronco'. And by luck she had missed it, cringing as the sound of metal bending and smooshing touched her ears, only be replaced by a shriek as the trashcan she wasn't paying attention to pegged her right in the freaking shoulder.
The metal rang in her ear, the force of the blunt metal sending a shock of pain through her arm and ribcage, as she too crumpled forward on her hands and knees. The trashcan rolled away.. and Polaris was fighting the tears that wanted to accompany the pain rippling through her torso.
She felt stupid.. was sure she LOOKED stupid.. getting hit by her own attack and she was in pain. The senshi had for a brief second seemingly forgotten her target, until she noticed him thud to the ground as well.
She crawled over like a wobbly infant, collapsing on his legs to take the pressure off her aching arm, her good arm attempting to loop around any apendage she could get in a half assed attempt to keep him 'pinned'. When her voice sounded it was much more pathetic than before, almost a whine in fact. It hurt. She didn't want to play anymore.- "Just say you're sorry okay. That you know stealing is bad. And then I'll leave."
