She sighed happily, running her fingers through her hair as the light breeze sent wisps flying.
Sitting atop one of the many stores within Destiny City's shopping district, the older lieutenant allowed her feet to dangle over the edge, watching the world pass by as she enjoyed the serenity of the night. It seemed like it had been forever since she'd been out on patrol, either too banged up or busy with schemes to take the time just to wander about and enjoy the little things in life. When had been the last time she'd taken a star seed? Last time she felt the last, sweet shudder of another being dying in her grasp?
Humming to herself, she watched quietly at the few scattered people roaming the sidewalks and the nearby park. No one seemed to have noticed her, (which was quite fine for her!) so it was time to pick and choose the next lovely candidate to be graced with the beautiful Nealite's presence.

If he was a more experienced lieutenant he'd probably stick to the shadows. Hell if he was even a slightly -older- lieutenant he'd probably have the good sense to stick to the shadows. Instead the younger Negaverse newbie was out and about, not really giving a crap who saw him in his lieutenant gear. At least in his gear he could pass for a rockstar! ...Or a crazy schoolkid, whatever worked.
Humming his own little upbeat tune, Scheelite sauntered down the street. He didn't bat an eyelash at the odd looks he got. In fact, the looks seemed to encourage him more. It wasn't too long before a saunter turned into a little skip, and at one particular corner it evolved into a dance.
So much for staying undercover....

One perfectly groomed eyebrow rose as she noticed something... glowing down the street, heading her way?
Hm. Things just got interesting!
Students were fun to tease, and this one looked to be no different. From what she could tell, from a distance, he seemed to be old enough to be attending Meadowview or Hillworth, perhaps even Barren Pines. Curfew was already up, so Mr. Risky was going to get more than his share of excitement tonight!
Rising up from where she sat, Nea made a quick dash to the end of the building and leaped off, sailing down, down, down until she hit the pavement, her heels absorbing the landing like no other shoes could. (God, if she could only wear these on a day to day basis!)
Grinning, she moved to stand in the middle of the sidewalk, blocking Mr. Risky's path. Or erm... should she say Mr. Dancey?
"What the hell sort of dancing is that supposed to be?" She blurted out, losing her chance for quite the awesome introduction.

Curfew, ha! Who needed a curfew when you had all the powers of "THE DARKNESS". Not that he had much of a clue what said powers were, but he was fairly certain that wandering around after curfew wasn't against the rules for an agent of the Negaverse. Or at least he -hoped- so.
Mr. Dancey barely batted an eye at the sudden blurted question. In fact he chose to finish out his little 'dance' before even addressing the other.
"-My- kind of dancing, obviously?"
He grinned, a harmless and somewhat clueless grin. Sarcastic as the remark might have seemed, there was no further bite behind it. She had certainly landed herself a real winner.
"Scheelite, and you are?"
The introduction was quick and unasked for, but Schee figured everyone wanted to know him. It was obvious, wasn't it? Sheesh. His hands found their way to his hips, the grin still in place and a single foot tapping out a rhythm on the pavement below. Apparently if he wasn't flat out dancing well...at least some part of him had to be moving. He seemed a bit...hyper?

One eyebrow rose, her own hand falling down to her hip as her head cocked itself to the side. What the <******** name gave away more than it should have, and Nealite stood there, attempting to fathom just why a Negaverse agent would be prancing up and down the street like some goddamn fruitcake for all the world to see.
"Lieutenant Scheelite?" She inquired, drawing closer to study him in all of his... antsy glory. Didn't the boy know how to stand still, even for one goddamn second?
"Nealite." She said coldly, still remaining unimpressed, though her eyes did continue to float down to the glowsticks. How odd, yet fascinating. Frustrating to boot, that Charonite finally had it in to get another male for the team and come up with...this.
"Well, Schee, keep it up and you're going to find yourself dancing to the beat of the General-King's tune, and I can't say that's going to be a pretty sight to behold."

"The one and only Lieutenant Scheelite, yep!"
Thank -god- it was the one and only. If one of them was this antsy, the thought of two Scheelites would be enough to terrify the masses. Though the glow from their combined glowstick collection would be rather impressive.
"Nealite, hrm?"
Schee gave her a once-over, the grin simply widening. Not bad, not bad at all. A shame his trust in women was rather minimal at best. She'd be one -fine- tail to chase after.
Well that and he had his sights on another...
"Schee? I....think I like that. Though I think it sounds better dragged out. Like Scheeeeee.....eeeee...eee...................eee. Ya know?"
He seemed focused on his speech, like the very act of playing with the word was somehow satisfying. At least he wasn't tapping his foot anymore?
...Oh no wait, yes he was. What a spaz.
"...Does the General-King play an instrument? What kind of tune can he carry man? I don't see him as much of an instrument person myself, though it'd be kinda friggin funny if he suddenly busted out...oh I dunno..BAGPIPES or something. Ha!"
He dissolved into snickers, the mental image of a big huffy Charonite playing the bagpipes simply too much for him to handle.

Her head looked left, then right, then back towards the blonde lieutenant standing before her.
This... this had to be a ******** joke, right? Could Nova's coffee have been that bad, to drive Charonite into turning... into turning this thing into a fellow member? She knew he was tired as of late, but jesus, weren't there standards for recruiting?
"Schee." she stated again, curt, her pronunciation of his name sounding more like Sh-e. Her face was solemn; no one talked s**t about her General-King in front of her. "His instrument just happens to be the Deathcord, and I'm sure you'll be becoming fast acquaintances with it if you keep up this s**t, Schee."
Her own foot felt like tapping, but for entirely different reasons. Why the hell was she even staying around? This boy was practically senshi bait, just dangling out for everyone to see.
"So have you caught any star seeds, Lieutenant Scheelite?" she finally asked, curiosity biting at her. What in the world had the General-King seen in this child?

"Deathcord? Sounds pretty wicked! ....What is it?"
He tried to picture just what kind of instrument could have such a badass name. Maybe a guitar with a skeletal theme? ...Nah. Hrm...
"s**t, what s**t? You crashed -my- dance party, ya know? I was just having a good old time before you came along to yell at me. What are you, my mot---"
He trailed off, not bothering to finish that sentence.
"Just...nevermind. What the hell am I doing so wrong? Just trying to have some fun..."
At this point he was pouting. Pouting. He really was just a big kid. Ugh.
WAIT! Aha, a perfect chance to show he wasn't useless! Take THIS Nealite, ha ha!
"Star seeds hrm? Oh I dunno...you mean like THIS?"
And then BAM, a star seed from absolutely nowhere! ....Okay no, he actually had pulled it out of the pocket of his jacket. But in his mind he had simply pulled it out of thin air and looked -damn cool- while doing it.
"Taaadaaaaaa! Shine, sparkle sparkle."
For some reason he felt the need to add in verbal sound effects for the star seed. But in the end the fact remained...he had a star seed. An actual star seed.
The star seed was shiny. -Very- shiny. Usually Schee would have been going on and on about how freaking awesome this thing was, yet instead he looked rather uneasy. He was biting at his lip, which was totally uncharacteristic for him.
More
Shut up inner voice, no one asked you...
More
Dude seriously, you're -creepy- knock it off!
Schee cringed and shook his head, the only outward signs of his inner argument. Whatever that voice was he didn't much like it, and it only seemed to show up when it involved these little star seeds. Though, for as creepy as it was, sometimes it felt....right.
....Whatever. The voice was tiny, insignificant. And really for now it wasn't capable of holding his attention for too long.
"I did good, right?"

Arms rose to fold themselves over her chest as she let out a small hmph.
"Deathcord is his whip. Razor sharp, digs pretty deep into the skin. But again, keep talking s**t, kid, and you can meet it first hand."
One hand left her chest to reach out and poke against the boy's. "Fun? You want fun? I'll show you f--what the <********> is that?"
She stared at his hand and sure enough, a star seed glimmered in his palm.
How in the ******** had he managed that?
"You.... you're telling me you killed a person and took their star seed?" She questioned hesitantly, her eyes suspicious. This twit didn't look capable enough to ******** know what a star seed was, and he was toting them around in his pocket?? "And you're just.... carrying it around with you?"

Schee had given no reply to the discussion of the whip, nor even so much as batted an eye at the sudden poke against his chest. Mentions of 'fun' had caused a smile to tug at his lips, but really? Well really it all boiled down to this.
He had that damn star seed, and for all the pokes and prods she had verbally (and now physically!) given him since their initial meeting moments ago, he had done something right. HA!
..........Wait.
"Killed someone?"
That uneasy look was back, his attention switching from Nealite to the star seed and then back again.
"Uh......no? I just did what um..."
He tapped his foot, thinking a moment.
"Torbernite! Torbernite was his name! I was just doing what he told me to do. He said it didn't hurt them...?"
Schee bit at his lip once more. Kill them? Kill them? ...Nahhh, it couldn't do that right? They just went into a nice peaceful sleep...that was all!
"Yep, carrying it with me because uh...."
At this he looked a bit embarrased.
"I didn't know what else to do with it. Heh...."

"You give it to me."
Her eyes were locked on his, her palm stretching out to meet his with the seed. This fool of a child had no idea what he was dealing with, especially if he was depending on someone as inexperienced as Torbernite for his lessons.
"You hand it to me and you find yourself a better trainer, for whatever Torbernite has told you was obviously said in error. Obtaining that seed means you destroyed a life. You're holding a dead man's seed in your hand, She-lite, and if you're having issues dealing with that, then you've joined the wrong ******** group."
Remaining still, she kept her hand out expectantly.

"Well okay then!"
Right, handing it over was an obvious choice! Clearly this woman had more experience in the ways of the darkness and would know what to do with it. So it was just a matter of reaching his hand out and---
"Wait...WHAT?!"
Scheelite froze, staring at the older lieutenant in horror. Killed someone. That old man? He...he had killed him?! But...Torbernite had said that the things known as 'star seeds' were a dangerous shiny object that could harm if left in too long. So obtaining them was really helping.
Right?
But if obtaining them was -killing- the person, then that certainly wasn't helpful at all! By this point he was mumbling to himself, torn between two stories. Torbernite's he wanted to believe, Nealite's...not so much. But he was unschooled, a newbie to all this 'Negaverse' stuff. Who was telling the truth? They couldn't possibly -both- be right....
But this simply wasn't his forte. Z was the thinker, the planner, the one who figured out the angles and how to work them. Demy was the minion who went merrily along with whatever orders were barked his way. Trying to figure out which story to follow was pretty much driving him nuts.
"It's Scheelite."
The name was growled as he pulled his hand back to pull the star seed away from Nealite. He held it in front of his body, fixing her with a look that said "Go on, I -dare- you to try and take it.".
"And you know, besides Torbernite you're the only one I've run into...how am I supposed to 'find' a better trainer? Do you consider -yourself- one? It's not like this place came with a god damn manual or anything. You want me to do better? Fine. That's cool, I wanna be accepted and awesome ya know? But if I have no <********> idea what I'm supposed to do then I'm not going to be able to do it. Capeesh?"
He was rambling, the words spoken as quickly as he thought them. Sometimes it was hard to get him to stop talking once he started.
"So why, why should I give it to you? Is that really what we're supposed to do, or do you just want it so you don't dirty your own hands?"
His lips twisted into a grin, his mind telling himself that he had won. Clearly his words would smack some sense into the female and show her the error of her ways. He was badass, he -knew- he was badass. He'd be even better with a little god damn instruction was all.
...This thing really couldn't have been the death of that guy, right? Right. Nooo way. She was just saying that so he'd give up the star seed and she could run off to add it to her own 'purification' collection. Yep.

This guy was crazy.
Plum ********' crazy.
Her hand drew back to her side, Nealite quickly finding herself far too frustrated and just... irritated with this little twit. What kind of reputation was this going to give the Negaverse? Charonite? Herself?
"Keep it." She said suddenly, her mind working itself into overdrive as his words tossed around in her head, an idea slowly, but surely, forming. "Keep it... you're going to need it."
Nea nodded then, a smile crossing her face at last. "I've got something better than a manual. I've got the best ******** trainer Destiny City would have to offer."
It was tempting to offer a trade, her help for his star seed, but the idea was too good to let it slide by and frankly, Nea wanted away from this fruit as quickly as possible anyhow.
Taking a step back, she turned and took a giant leap, landing atop of one of the nearby shop awnings. Turning back around, she winked at the younger boy.
"Meet here, tomorrow night, She-lite." She explained, nodding her head, "Same time. I'll have him meet you here and you can really know what the ******** Negaverse is about."
Hesitating, she coughed, covering up the giggle just begging to escape. "His name is Obsidian. Lieutenant Obsidian."
With that, she was off again, hopping and jumping her way back into the shadows, all too pleased and eager for the results to come for the following evening.

HA! Yes! See?! He -had- won! Take that random orange haired lady trying to tell him what to do! HA!
"Yes ma'am. Though it's Schee. Scheeeeeelite. You'll get it eventually, I"m sure."
He mocked a salute...and then just stopped and -stared- as she jumped away. Holy ******** s**t what the HELL was that?!
...Could he do that? Dude that'd be pretty ******** awesome!
"Right, Obsidian. Gotcha. Sounds like a cool dude, I'll be sure to come back!"
As Nealite jumped off into the shadows, Scheelite turned on his heels and walked off. A meeting with another Lieutenant...a trainer even! This could prove pretty interesting. And once he was trained he'd show all these other Lieutenants he could do just as good a job as them! SO THERE.
It was a perfect plan.
[FIN]
