Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was official. Castor's life was either a horror film, or it was a bad soap opera. Because only in those settings did you find your bench, with your biggest arch villain...rival..person....thing, sitting on it. Nealite, his nemesis.

On the bench.

His bench.

Their bench.

"Get off of my bench." He hissed out his words, trying really hard not to attack. She was still a threat, skirt and cleavage aside. "Get. Off. Of. My. Bench." It was the City's bench, but to him, it held meaning. And her butt on it was like a mockery to the meaning.

'ASDFGHJKL'
Castor's train of thoughts were along those lines. Incoherent and angry. Deep breaths Castor, deep breaths. It might have sounded like he was wheezing really. "Astraea isn't here right now." he put a little emphasis on the a** part. "And I think we're tied in terms of who's a** has been kicked by who." With a small smirk, castor was managing to keep his anger under control for now.

So long as he was cocky, he could hold back from rushing into a fight, (if that made any sense at all). Ignoring better judgment like he normally did, Castor boldly sat himself on the edge of a potted plant near Nealite's feet. "If Linarite is happy with...Hematite," he frowned at the name of his romantic rival, "then I have nothing to object. She is smart enough to make good choices and if she is happy..." He smiled, obviously thinking of her. "I am happy."

It was so cheesy you might get a clogged artery.

"But what brings you out here tonight? Surely you're not here for my benefit."

He grunted at her accusation. It was partly true. He loathed the idea of another guy winning over the girl he liked, but...if she was happy... (but if he ever saw this Hematite he was going to get a face full of Castor fist. That should be a given). At 'golden friend' Castor's intrest spiked. He only knew of one 'golden' senshi. "Alkaid?" The one who basically acted like a pissed off cheerleader? "She's a b***h." Castor thought alot of girls were bitches.

"Me? Doing fine. Beat up a few less then spectacular youma, saved a few people, got laid, you know." He was grinning at the getting laid part. "The usual."

Crossing his arms and giving a huff, he looked and sounded like a five year old as he said "Wouldn't you like to know." He did frown at the men part. "And the day I move onto men is the day my d**k falls off. Too bad it's permanently attached." This was subjective, if you had a knife. "As far as negababes go...I'll content myself with chasing after one in particular. The others were..." he waved a hand in the air. "Well one was a bit of an accident, the other was just a test. Both were excellent kissers though."

Castor figured that it was no secret about his 'adventure' with Tanz. Val he could allude too, but, he wasn't going to rat her out. He did remember Tanz's reaction to their...crime scene after all. "One girl I thought was a negababe...ugh. A man. A man inside of a chick's body. Kunzite. It's like a reverse trap." He shuddered at the thought of him having hit on a man inside of a girls body.

Flinching and jumping back, ready to defend at Nealite's outburst, her question drew a bit of curiosity. Why was she so interested in Kunzite? Not only that, but why did it get such a rise out of her?
"Nooo...." Slowly, Castor returned to his former position. He was still wary. Both of Nealite and her odd outbursts. "We talked for a while...about....well about the whole senshi gig." A shrug. "********, IT wasn't that talkative. They didn't kill me though...to be honest, when we first ran into each other, I thought they were with you guys!" A laugh escaped. "Sh- Kunzite explained...sorta. Something about a prince and court and other stuff. Made about as much sense as green ketchup."

Castor, comparing cavaliers to ketchup.

"But, they're an ally...ish. I guess. At least they're not one of you guys."

At least this time she didn't make him jump up. But her edging close to him did make the scout take a small scoot away. He wanted to be out of starseed stealing range. Just for safety. Not that he was scared or anything. (He wasn't. Honest!)
"Er..Kunzite didn't say much. How ...he (Castor was still so very confused about the gender issue), was some Cavalier of a 'Golden Kingdom'. Earth court. Lunar court, I think that is what we senshi are supposed to be, alot of mumbo jumbo." Waving a hand in the air Castor dismissed it at trivial information.

He rubbed his arms from the cold. In the back of his head a little voice was saying 'Those are important things you should know about!' but he ignored it. Last time he listened to it he ended up kissing a negaverse girl. Not that is was a bad thing. He just didn't trust the voice in his head that much anymore.

"Kunzite also mentioned a Queen Beryl of the negaverse. Kind of alluded that you and Charonite answer to her. Other then all that?" He sniffled. "Nope. Didn't really talk about you guys. And why are you surprised he didn't kill me? Kunzite is an ally. Sorta." Shrug. "What did he do to some other senshi?"

He was silent for longest Nealite had perhaps ever seen him. Castor's blue eyes were downcast, and he looked oddly thoughtful. He looked downright serious. "Nealite." Her name was spoken without the normal venom and distaste. It was bland, lacking the emotional rise she would normally want.
"We senshi are alone." It was foolish to divulge so much to his enemy, but, it seemed like she was perhaps the only one he could tell. "We awaken alone, with only a cat to tell us our new job."

Pulling out his henshin pen, Castor held it out to show her. "We are left alone, only a pen to help us." His voice was strangely on the rise, yet is was not filled with anger. "We fight alone. When we find each other, we either band together, or we band together for but a flicker in time. Half of us are unaware of our own kind, let alone of you, the negaverse."

He was speaking too much. More then he probably should.

"I don't know s**t Nealite." He returned the pen to his pocket, facing Nealite. His face was so different. It was lacking. The mirth, anger, it was gone. A plain, emotionless face stared at her, voice deadpan, but loud.
"Senshi. Cavalier. Negaverse." He looked at her eyes, almost searching.
"In the end, we're all human. Prone to death. Our battles should only better prove that fact. But I do know this." His fist clenched. "If Kunzite killed a scout, and left them for you to find that tells me two things."

The first emotinal sign. A smirk. "Who ever they were, they were not an ally to the senshi. Kunzite spared my life, even after I attacked them and insulted them." The grin widened.
"It also tells me that you're afraid." The grin was now from corner to corner, it mocked her. "Because, it tells me that Kunzite knows something we don't. Something you don't want us to know. You want me to question him. To fear him." male pronouns. Castor was over the gender identity crisis? "Because you know they're our ally. Your enemy. And Nealite." He chuckled.

"I don't plan on dying anytime soon."
