A lesson? She needed no lessons well maybe she did. What was a starseed after all? She didn't like the idea of having to follow someone around though. She wasn't overly impressed with her bow and arrow, though it wasn't even a real one, a toy... just a toy. She was a negaverse agent with a toy and weren't the papers always saying about how powerful the two sides were?
"So what are we doing?" The now Sassolite turned and looked at the older women she had been paired with. She had nice hair, yes Sassolite liked her hair and that was always a good thing. It was always so hard to talk to someone who had horrible hair.
She adjusted the bow on her back to make it more comfortable and looked around. It was dark and she had crept out of her room after Serah had already left. That way as long as she got back first her roommate wouldn't even know she had gone. Anyway lets get on with this stupid lesson.

After her fun with training Moonstone, Nealite had decided she thoroughly enjoyed teaching the new recruits a thing or two about Negaverse behavior. So, when she'd learned of the new addition, she'd jumped at the opportunity to show the new girl a thing or two.
After all, hadn't Charonite said they should go out in pairs or groups? It was just slightly besides the point that the Captain herself wasn't supposed to be out without her own partner to look out for her.
Grinning to herself, the flame haired woman leaned against the tree on the outskirts of the school's territory. She'd made arrangements with this new Lieutenant Sassy or whatever her name was, and tonight would be her first night out and about. Nealite herself was anxious over the upcoming wedding, so a good star seed snatching would make for a good distraction, all things considered.
"We are going to go hunt us down a star seed or two, Sassy dear," she told the younger girl confidently, her eyes lazily looking the other up and down. A bit scrawny, but hell, she looked like she could hold her own better than say, Serandite or Bixbyite. "Now, as you're new, it'd probably be best to start with something simple."
With that, she was already off and moving, making a beeline for the nearby public park a few blocks away. At this time of night, there'd no doubt be riff-raff lining the benches and bushes. Easy targets for inexperienced lieutenants, at the very least.
Heels clicked their way down the sidewalk she'd led them onto and she glanced back, ensuring the girl was following her. "So, tell me... what do you know about star seeds? Or like, the Negaverse in general? Please tell me someone's given you the Cliff Notes version."

Sassolite who had really been given an unfortunate name and was expecting to be called sassy more often then not was just happy that no one had yet to call her it. Though had she known Nealite thought it would have been enough to annoy her somewhat... then she said it.
"Sassolite." Her tone was sharp and she looked at the older women as if she was nothing but then something reminded her that this Nealite wasn't just Nealite, otherwise she might have bitched somewhat. Then again there was nothing to say she would be able to hold her tongue the whole night.
Well hey at least they weren't standing about chatting all night, though she was somewhat shocked when she moved suddenly. Sassolite didn't have much of a problem keeping up though, she was a fit girl she made sure she was.
"Star seeds? Haven't a clue. The Negaverse? Apparently some evil thing that attack senshi things and I didn't believe any of this existed till smelly smoke guy appeared." He had a name... what was it? Oh yeah Charonite... oh wait General King? Woops, she probably shouldn't have just called him smelly smoke guy. Ah well.

One eyebrow rose at 'haven't a clue'. The other followed suit at 'evil thing'. Her face fell into an immediate scowl as she finished her statement with 'smelly smoke guy'.
Unlike Moonstone, this lieutenant had quite the figurative balls.
Pausing in her walk, she turned to face the young woman, her expression letting Sassolite know just how irritated she was.
"Look. Sass. I can deal with the fact you know nothing about how this works. I can. But there are two mistakes that you have already made in the three minutes we've been together tonight that could quickly get the s**t beaten out of you."
One finger pointed up. "First off, we are not some 'evil thing'. We are the Negaverse. We fight the senshi, who are supporting a group that wishes to usurp the Earth for themselves. If you want to be a part of the real bastards, I'm sure Astraea would love to meet you."
A second finger rose. "Second. That 'smelly smoke guy' you're referring to just happens to be the ruler of the Negaverse. And my ******** fiance. I suggest you pay him the proper respect he deserves or the next thing you'll be meeting is Deathcord. Or my fist."
She continued glaring at the lieutenant for a moment more, and then her hand returned to her side. "If I were you, Sassy, I'd lighten up on the sass before you find yourself in a world of hurt. You have potential. So don't ******** it up."
Nealite turned back now, willing herself to calm down. New meat. New people. Must. Be. Patient.
Thankfully, the park was now in sight, and both women made their way through its shadowy entrance, the tall trees overhead casting long dark shadows across the pathway. Almost immediately, they ran across a man in rags, passed out across the nearby park bench.
Lucky them.
"Alright, Sass." The Captain ground out through her teeth, her temper still spiked, "Star seeds. Every person has one. When the General-King corrupted you, he corrupted you through your star seed. Do you at least remember that much?"

If Nealite hadn't been staring at Skye her expression would be very different because yes she was listening but in her head all she was hearing was 'blah blah blah blah blah' until she heard the word potential. Of course she had potential! Did she not know who she was talking to? She was a hunter, like a proper hunter who had been given a naff toy. She could out do this Nealite at tracking and hunting but she thought she wouldn't point this out... yet.
"Who the ******** is Astraea?" She slightly recalled the name being mentioned and about being on the other side? Oh well. As for smokey guy being her fiance... her loss. Who would want to marry that thing? She would keep her views away from her for now, maybe if she wanted to wind her up she could point out how ugly he was.
"Ewwww" Was the first reaction when they came across the man. She wasn't going anywhere near that thing. Just look at him, he was barely human, how disgusting. It was surprising she even heard Nealite talking to her as she was too busy being disgusted by the man on the bench.
"Yeah sure... what about it?" Did she have to corrupt this guys star seed? She was not touching him, in fact she wasn't going to get any closer to him, how completely and utterly disgusting.

"Guardian cat. Shoots laser beams. You'll meet her one of these days, if you stick around long enough."
Her answer was curt, her focus mainly on the homeless bum sprawled out before them. Well, that and Sassy's attitude, which was quickly climbing its way up into Nealite's list of Things That Really Piss Me Off.
"And good. At least you know something."
Arms folded across her chest and her head nodded in the direction of the bum. "That man, over there. His chest has a star seed just like yours and mine. Or, rather, like ours used to be, before they were corrupted."
She paused, then eyed the other girl.
"I want you to reach into his chest and retrieve his."

Astraea was a cat?
"A cat?" They were fighting cats? Really... that would be hard, if she had her real bow and arrow. She could hit a cat easy. The senshi had cats? Skye couldn't help but laugh, she really couldn't. It was a cat and she didn't believe in the slightest that it shot laser beams. Seriously, its a cat.
"You want me to do what now? I am not going near him, you do it." She looked at the man again and turned her back on him. She was not about to touch anyone who stank like he did. She put up with them at the soup kitchen which she hated with a passion and was not about to go near them out of it.
"What happens if I take the star seed?" She was curious after all though she wasn't going to touch him. She looked at the man again and shuddered, ewww it was him. He always stared at her boobs, always and really he was old. How disgusting. See all these homeless people needed to like disappear so she would never have to be disgusted by both the smell and sight of them.

"A cat," she reiterated, one hand absentmindedly rising to rub her chest. Nealite herself had experienced the unfortunate beams that Astraea could produce. Hell, she'd experienced them several times, one of which had nearly taken her life, had Charonite not been there to save her. If the girl wanted to be skeptical, then Nea wasn't about to waste her time trying to convince her otherwise. In fact, she hoped the little grey b***h would come around and show Sassy how much of a threat she or her feline buddies could be. Would serve the twit right.
"And I don't believe I asked you to do it, Sass. 'You do it' is not a correct response. ' Yes, Your Highness' or 'yes ma'am' or even 'sure thing, Nealite' are all acceptable."
Plucking her mirror out of her belt, she angled it to reflect the soft moonlight peaking through the tree branches, and tilted it to admire her own expression as she talked to the girl. "You will take the star seed that is in his chest, as ordered. And he will die. They always die, inevitably. Some just do it immediately, while others take their sweet time."
The mirror lowered and she glanced at the redhead. "And don't worry. If he wakes up, I'm sure you'll be able to hold him down, right? Being as you're such a tough little gal and all."

A cat. How pathetic. To Sassolite this was just proof that this women she was with wasn't half as good as the rumours said.
"Yes your highness." Sassolite was happy to repeat in a clearly mocking sarcastic way. She didn't want to do this but she also wasn't going to be called a wimp either and Nealite was already implying such things. Honestly, she could beat this homeless guy easy enough.
She walked over to the man with confidence. After all she wasn't about to fail now was she? She moved her hand to his chest and though she hadn't a clue how to get a star seed she just went for it. The feeling was odd as her hand went in to his chest, it was... weird and she didn't like it. Especially as the guy did start to wake up. Oh great. She rolled her eyes before stroking the guys face.
"Hey its me.... you always wanted to me to come find you one night... and so I have in your dreams. Shhhh..." She stroked his face again with her spare hand as she felt for the star seed with the other. The guy clearly wasn't buying it though he was drunk and it helped her out a lot that he wasn't really aware of what was going on. As she felt what she guessed must be the star seed she yanked it out and moved away from him as quickly as possible.
"That was disgusting, eww, eww, ewww, ewwwwwwwww I will need to spend a week in the shower now!" Oh she was not happy, nope not at all and this was all going to be aimed at Nealite.
"No more smelly homeless guys now what do I do with this thing?" She had the star seed in her hand and it was rather pretty. A lot prettier then she had expected and part of her wanted to keep it. It would look pretty in a jar on her shelf.

The older woman chuckled as she watched, the reaction quite satisfying to behold. She drew closer to the two of them, her eyes glancing down to stare at the shocked expression on the man's face. He hadn't put up too much of a fuss, in his intoxicated state, but it was clear that he had experienced pain, at least near the ending.
Her gaze rose and met with Sassolite's, her expression smug. "Not bad; I like the add-in you had there. Visiting him in his sleep, hm?"
The star seed was pinched between two of the younger girl's fingers, and both women paused to admire the small glittering jewel. Star seeds, uncorrupted, were a beauty to behold. It was a shame, really, they ended up being so terribly small.
"That 'thing', as you call it, is useful to the Negaverse. Which is, of course, why all lieutenants are ordered to go out and retrieve them. Once obtained, you'll either give them to Charonite or myself, and we will use them accordingly. It keeps the Negaverse strong, it keeps us going. Hell, if you're caught in a bind, it'll keep you going."
Eyes drifted up to meet with the girl's. "If you're in need of energy, you can consume one. A little goes a long way, though, and they're addictive as hell. Take one too many and you'll turn into a brainless slobbering monster. Which, I pray, you're smarter than to try that. Would ruin that beautiful hair of yours, after all."
One hand stretched out, palm flat. "So you get a choice, Sassy. Either you can go ahead and turn it in now, or you can eat a dirty old man's star seed. Take your pick."

She just stared at her.
"I knew him, I have fed him once a week for long enough." She rolled her eyes, the only reason she did the stupid soup kitchen was due to the fact that it looked good. It made her look good. She hated it with a passion and would more then happily see all homeless people dead but she didn't want to have to do it, they were disgusting and skanky.
"Here you go then... you can eat an old mans star seed. It is rather pretty though..." Would make a good necklace though it might give her away if she walked around school with a star seed on a chain. Was it even possible?
"And I won't be turning into any monster and my hair will be perfectly fine." Her tone was still sharp but she wasn't being as sarcastic. After all some of what Nealite was saying was actually worth listening to.
"So where are we going now your highness" Oh yes she was always going to be sarcastic while referring Nealite to royalty, whether she was or not, until she acted like a queen towards Sassolite, the sarcasm would keep on rolling!

Nealite said nothing in response to the girl's cattiness, and instead brought the star seed up to examine it further. Seemingly satisfied, she tucked it away in her jacket's pocket before returning her attention to the lieutenant.
"Well, we do what every proper lady should do," she explained, her voice sounding far too cheerful for its own good, "You should know that, being a Crystal gal and all."
Before Sassolite could be given the chance to respond, Nealite's hand shot out and gripped tightly around the girl's wrist. Her other hand moved and held on to the clammy hand of the corpse beside them and in the blink of an eye, the Captain teleported the trio out of the park and into the depths of what was clearly a forest.
What the young lieutenant was not aware of was that the forest resided on the outskirts of Destiny City. She was not aware that it was a common place for weekend camping trips, hiking, and general exploring, but an even more common place for Negaverse agents. For in the depths of the forest, past the multitude of trees that covered the land, lay a burial ground no police officer, no detective, no one would ever think to look through.
"We clean up after our messes."
She loosened her grip, releasing both Sassolite's wrist and the corpse's, the body now splayed across the ground. Raising one gloved hand up to her chest, Nealite took a breath, pausing for a moment to collect herself. Teleporting always caused the stomach to churn, but ever since she had been able to teleport, it not only caused nausea, but a brief bout of exhaustion. But this would be worth it. Oh, it would be worth it.
Purple boots tromped over to the run down shack, hidden away in the shadows of the trees. All too many times, she'd come to the area with Obsidian or Khaldun, watching the boys dig the graves while she stood and surveyed (well it wasn't like she was going to get her hands dirty!).
Pulling back the rickety door, she leaned in and retrieved the long handled shovel that the boys used to fight over who got to use. Turning back around, she made her way back over towards the lieutenant and former bum, then shoved the handle into the other girl's hand.
"Once you kill a person, you have to dispose of the body. This place is the most common area for burial, and we all use it. You will use it. I will continue to use it. Charonite insists the holes be a few feet deep, at minimum. Don't want the dogs to sniff out the carcasses, you know."
The tip of her boot nudged the dead man at their feet, and Nealite smirked.
"Best start digging, sweetheart. You're the one who killed him, after all."

Did she just teleport? Awesome! She wondered if it would mean she could teleport at some point. It would be useful, she would be able to get away from her. Where they landed though, in the forest was far from what she wanted. This was just... just no she didn't like it. She wanted to be back anywhere but in a dark forest.
"We what?" She wasn't liking the clean up bit. She wasn't going to have to? No oh god no. She watched Nealite head over to the shack and then came back with a shovel... a ******** shovel.
It took all of Sassolite's will to not say something back, to not throw some swear words at Nealite. Instead she just narrowed her eyes and gave Nealite a far from impressed look. Oh she would get her back for this... in fact...
Sassolite took the shovel and turned around a smirk now on her face. She started digging, making sure she was doing something that happened in a lot of cartoons. She got a little bit of dirt on the shovel before flinging it behind her towards Nealite. She hoped that it hit her, just because it would give her some satisfaction but whether it would or not... well she could only hope. She wasn't about to turn around and look because then it would be all too obvious that this was being done on purpose.

Nealite had been more focused on the bum, having knelt down to investigate his pockets for any sign of identification (or if luck would have it, money). She had just finished exploring the various pockets (nothing, drats) when the flying dirt from Sassolite's shovel hit her directly. In the face.
Caught off guard, she fumbled, catching her balance by grabbing onto the dead body in front of her. Her initial reaction was to spit, the dirt having gone all over, and then both gloved hands moved to quickly wipe away the clumps of soft, slightly moist dirt from off of her flawless face.
"You little b***h," she snarled, rising up from the ground as she shot the lieutenant a glare, "You did that on PURPOSE!"
The Negaverse Captain was shocked. She might have expected this kind of behavior from Linarite (the whore) but never, never would she have expected such treatment from a new recruit. This was... this was unacceptable. Simply unacceptable.
She felt grimy, disgusting. The dirt had been brushed away, but smudges from the mud remained on her, as well as small bits that had fallen down from her face, onto her chest. It was repulsive. As much as she was ready for an old fashioned catfight, this girl wasn't worth her time, not when she could be back home, showering off all this... s**t.
Reaching into her jacket pocket, she retrieved the glimmering star seed. Her scowl turned upwards into a smug smile, and she tilted her head back, dropping the seed into her open mouth. The stone went down like a pill, rough but swallowable. In a matter of moments, Nealite could already feel the effects of the star seed in her system, a warm feeling overcoming her as her body began to react to the energy. The ache and exhaustion from the teleporting had faded, her strength coming back to her in full force, and then some.
"Well," she snapped haughtily, moving to the side to pick up a fallen branch. Not more than a thin stick, and perfect for what she needed. "Since you obviously appear to not want my help, I will take my leave, Sassy darling."
One hand drug the stick through the dirt, and it only took moments for the drawing to become recognizable as a map. A really crudely drawn, not-very-helpful-at-all map that one would never find on Mapquest or Wiki, but still a map. Of what the lieutenant could only assume to be of the forest they both currently stood in.
"I'd suggest you bury the body before you try to leave. The man is practically covered in your fingerprints, and I'd be more than happy to personally explain to Charonite how you ******** up, should the body be found."
Her head tilted, and her grin grew wide as she lifted one hand to playfully wave in the redhead's direction. "Have fun finding your way out. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll find your way before something tall dark and nasty finds you. Ta ta for now, dear!"
And with that (and what suspiciously looked like sparkles falling in the air - the Captain was always one for dramatic effect), Nealite teleported out of the forest, and into the comforting enclosure of her apartment's bathroom.

Sassolite just rolled her eyes as Nealite was more then happy to start the whole shouting routine. Sass had a feeling she was going to have to get use to this or change her ways but she sure as hell wasn't going to make it easy to be bossed about. Not by her anyway, she was just rude and should really realise who she was talking to. Okay so she was suppose to be the queen and was marrying big boss guy but who cared?
She rolled her eyes as she continued to dig but looked up as she started moaning about something. What was she doing? Sass looked as much as she could, a map? No she better not be..yet she was. Well at least it would be peaceful if nothing else! Sass hadn't seen her eat the star seed and that was probably a good thing, she would have probably laughed at the fact that she needed to take it after being insulted.
The idea of being left here was fitting too well with Sass she didn't want to be dumped here in this forest.
"How I ******** up? My.. and what kind of teacher are you?" She finished her sentence as Nealite vanished and were they sparkles? Sparkles? She vanished in sparkles? How pathetic.
She turned around and carried on digging, how long it took to dig a grave and to drag the guy in and then fill it back up again she had no idea. It nearly had to be morning for sure? She couldn't really see the sky, the tree's stopped that from happening. Dark forest at night, it just didn't sit right with her and being dumped here by that Nealite? Pfft! She wasn't having that!
Once she was sure it didn't look too much like a grave she looked at the map and sighed. She pictured the route in her head and followed it through a few times before looking around. How the hell was she suppose to get out of here?
She probably wouldn't have made her way out if it wasn't for a very nice group of guys she met. She promised to see them the next night if they could show her the way out. She had also made up this story of a guy who had brought her out here and tried to attack her. After all she looked hideous with leaves and sticks in her hair. She had to get back and washed before Serah got home and so once she was out she ran in to town and back to her dorm. She would find someway to get that Nealite back. That b***h.
