Serandite was on top of a rooftop, sprawled out on her stomach with a ds lite in front of her. The screen shone especially brightly in the dark night, the light dimly shining on the pink haired girl in her bright negaverse outfit. Brown eyes were furrowed into an angry expression, fingers madly pressing buttons. It was an odd sight to see a pink haired girl rolling back and forth on her ds on the rooftop-- not that any normal civilian could see her anyways.
Serandite was not slacking off. It was simply a matter of boredom. Some of her team members couldn't be reached and the one that did had disappeared. Serandite had no motivation to go look for her red-haired roommate-- she'd be teleporting and then tire of exhaustion from teleporting. Serandite was taking a "break." A noisy one.
"Goddammnit, these gym leaders are ridiculous!" Serandite shouted aggravatingly, rolling over to her back, DS lite in front of her, holding it up to the sky. It might have been that Serandite hadn't been especially focused on training her pokemon but she preferred to lay the blame on the overly powerful gym leader. After all, it wasn't her fault that the game required people to spend hours in training-- or seconds to level their pokemon to level one hundred in a not-so-legal-method. Serandite was too lazy to do one and had too much integrity to do the other.

When Paragonite had first thought about spending her evenings wandering about rooftops, it'd seemed like a silly notion to be tossed out much like last nights meatloaf (it was terrible, a trained cook she was not). However when she realized the how she could easily take advantage of such a... vantage point, she quickly dismissed her former notions and made certain to check it out.
On this particular evening, however, she found herself staring at a disturbing about of pink. Bright cotton candy coloured pink hair. Paragonite couldn't help but stare at the girl for a few moments before being broke free of the hairs hypnotic trance as Serandite cursed aloud about...
Gym trainers?
Pokemon?
While Para didn't really play anymore, she had when she was in elementary (pokemon had been SUPER cool then, when the trading cards had first come out even). Not to mention she had some friends who were pretty obsessed with them over the years. The brunette moved from the corner of the building and towards the frustrated captain.
"Maybe you should level up your pokemon a few more levels in random battles and then go back?" a hand on her hip and the other one hanging by her side, clutching her purple baton.

Brown haired girl. Hm. Serandite used her common sense-- no bow, nor a white fuku of some sort. Hadn't she heard rumors of the newest cutest member of the negaverse? It couldn't be a senshi standing in front of her-- no white fuku with a silly saying.
She spoke in a lazy drawl, struggling to sit up."Well, that'd defeat the point of me being lazy, wouldn't it?" She slowly made her way to a lazy crawl like a small child and then sat with legs stretched out against the side of the fence on top of the building. She scratched her head trying to place the description and girl together-- purple and black outfit, check. Cuteness meter, check. Weapon, check. It looked more of a weapon than Serandite's bunny did.
On a (probably or somewhat) accurate guess, since people do not jump rooftops often, Serandite frowned. She tucked her DS behind her back, although that didn't help her at this point. (Nealite could not know she was playing games on the job. Serandite was pretty sure that Nealite wouldn't be surprised but she wouldn't be happy either.)
"U-Uh---- I wasn't playing games Lieutenant. I was merely exercising pokemon strategies. A fire senshi gets beaten out by a hose, right?" Serandite said sweetly, as if the example might save her from being tattle-taled on to the great Queen of the negaverse. Or god forbid, some other captain who might leak it to her.

"Most fires do get put out through hosing." she chuckled, the nostalgia hit her hard, and for a moment she longed for the days she spent as a child, glued to her teeny tiny pocket game boy (it was super cool when it came out guys!). It'd been red, and the only game boy she'd ever owned. The new DS looked more like a mini computer than an actual game system however.
The brunette twirled her baton idly between her fingers, it was a frequent exercise she performed to keep her hands nimble. 'Idle hands are the devil's playground' played through her mind continuously when she did this, a throwback to her rather religious foster parents who'd always kept her busy doing... well just about anything to keep her busy.
"Slow night..." she thought for a moment, "I'm afraid I don't believe we've crossed paths in the past. Though you seem aware of my rank. I am Lieutenant Paragonite, and it's a pleasure to meet you...?" her voice trailed up into a query at the tail end, a way of asking for the pink haired girl's name.

"Considering that I know the rest of the captain teams for the moment, it's only process of elimination that led me to your rank, Paragonite." Serandite said, almost apologetically, as she tucked the DS somewhere in her kimono and waved towards the lieutenant.
"Captain. Captain Serandite. Uh-- I dont suppose you could keep this little incident between ourselves?" Serandite said cheerfully and a hopeful note was injected in there, brown eyes staring up into other brown ones. Paragonite had a good several inches on Serandite so Serandite was staring up into the older girl's eyes-- How strange to know that people older than you were of a lower rank.
"If you refuse, I will abuse my captain status to make your life hell. or at the very least, I could try." Serandite tried to inject the negaverse-like-threat-that-wasn't-very-convincing in there, putting on a serious look, as if shifting masks to fit the mood. She did not look successful in that 'annoyed' face.

To say Paragonite was caught off guard by this girl's rank would be an understatement. No, in fact, she was all but flabbergasted that this petite girl (was she even in high school?) was a Captain. It wouldn't be the first time she'd encountered a younger person of higher status, but Linarite seemed much more mature than this little one.
At least she hadn't caught her playing Pokemon on a rooftop as of yet. Who knew, it could happen.
The Lieutenant did her best to hide the shock from her face, not wanting to insult the other girl by any means, really. "Don't worry Captain, I'll be sure to keep it to myself." her words were reassuring, and seemed sincere enough. The fact of the matter was that Paragonite had no desire to go 'tattle-tailing' on anyone. It wasn't really her style. If it'd actually bothered her, she would have made some sort of snide remark while speaking down on the subject.
Trying hard not to laugh as Serandite tried to look intimidating, she shook her head. "Least you were entertaining yourself. And I'm sure you were at your ready for anyone showing up. The game is a wonderful way to keep your enemy off their feet." she stressed the last part to make it sound like Serandite was totally on the ball, and that the playing of Pokemon was a tactical move on her part. You know, playing dumb to any potential senshi that could move in on them.
"Right?"

Even if Paragonite didn't say the words aloud, Serandite could practically see the invisible gears asking the question. By instinct, she added the after sentence with a smile. "Yes, I'm a captain. I've just had the fortune to have joined the negaverse at an earlier date than you." She scratched her cheek in a sheepish manner, knowing what most others suspected on seeing her appearance. They thought of her as a very young high schooler-- or dare Serandite say it, a middle schooler. It was a compliment to look young.. Serandite thought reluctantly. She immediately pounced on Paragonite's recent words with no shame whatsoever.
"Right!"
"Is that your weapon? That baton?" Serandite looked pointedly down on the small stick-like object. What do you do with a baton? Hit someone on the head with it--?!
"If you're silently surprised by my appearance, you'd be surprised by my weapon too! Although I'll warn you now, you'll be wise not to say any degrading comments aloud-- or I'll have to show you why it's quite the lethal weapon." Immediately upon the warning, her bunny seemed to appear from thin air next to her, demonstrated with a little twirl. It held it's little paws above it's head into a circle shape, spinning around flashily (or as flashy as a bunny could get.)

Paragonite took in the sum up of reasoning that Serandite provided her. It made sense. Seniority, not necessarily maturity. Though at least Serandite seemed to be a little more on the enthusiastic side now that she was up and moving about. Much better than the slow, bored and sluggish motions she had been maintaining when the Lieutenant had first appeared.
"Yeah, this is about it. It's kind of ironic, but I won't bore you with the reason why." she brought it up in front of her, twirling it skillfully between her fingers and tossing it to her other hand. "And yeah, that pretty well sums it up. Just take it and give them a good crack along the back of the head. Not much else you can do with it." she laughed.
But the laughter was quickly dismissed by Serandite's... weapon. If you could even call it that. A giant stuffed bunny? The Lieutenant would have been shocked, if she could have been any more shocked than she'd initially been. After the first though, it almost seemed suiting that this childlike girl beat down people with a rabbit.
Actually, on second thought, she really wanted to see that in action. How painfully embarrassing for ones enemies.
"That, is pretty damn cool." her observance was genuine, she really believed that.

"Do you mean that, really?!" Serandite clapped her hands together happily, shining eyes at Paragonite. It was obvious that comments had been made on the rabbit before-- and most of them weren't encouraging at all.
She took a few dance steps, her bunny following in her lead as she turned and twirled around.
"You're quite the entertaining negaverse company. A change from the rest, I'll tell you that." She still remembered the tense captain meeting-- It was quite.. well.. to put it simply, not quite sane. Each of them, eccentric in their own right. Even Serandite was so, with her ridiculously childish desires. But from the way she say it, she was the most normal out of that group. Questionable. Hm.

"No word of a lie." the Lieutenant firmly stood by her observation. Beating down enemies with stuffed bunnies was a fantastically terrible way to be beaten down. Much more entertaining than cracking people about the head and ears with her own baton.
She watched Serandite twirl about the rooftop with her bunny. It was both creepy and adorable at the same time. Creepy in the children of the corn style of creepy children. Never knew what they were really thinking. If Serandite were to break out into some child hood song chant, Paragonite then may have to reconsider remaining on the rooftop however.
The thought sent a shiver down her spine. She hated horror movies, and she especially hated singing children in those movies.
"I've met a handful of others so far and none of them seem particularly boring." she half queried her statement to the Captain. Scheelite was definitely on the 'not boring' list. Though he currently was residing on the 'needs his a** thoroughly kicked' books.
"I take it based on that, though, s'why your up here? Needing some away time, hmm?"

"Right on the mark. Away time is necessary in this whole negaverse life thing." Serandite pushed back some hair blown by the breeze, a look of regret and guilt crossed her face for only a fleeting moment. To the insightful onlooker, it appeared that Paragonite's innocent question had inspired some conflicts in Serandite. What it was, that was anybody's guess.
"The negaverse if full of interesting people. But some of them can be real jerks-- you might want to watch out for them. The whole typical evil guy personality." Serandite warned the other, a bright smile now replaced her expression. She had never met Scheelite personally-- but she might soon.
"You're patrolling for starseeds, I assume? Beware of senshi-- they're on a 'kill-alert' now." Serandite warned the older lieutenant, emphasizing the sentence with a slicing motion at the neck. "I'm assuming you've heard of Kunzite. Nasty little cavalier-- won't hesitate to end a negaverser's life."

Paragonite nodded her head, taking in all the things that Serandite was saying. IT didn't surprise her that some of the negaverse came laden with jerks. Was hard to avoid those types in any uniformed group (no pun intended). The woman tilted her head slightly to the side when the demeanour of her companion changed, but said nothing of it.
"I'll be sure to keep that in mind." she responded to the jerk comment.
"And yes, I am. Kill-alert you say? Well, that's a two-way street." she smirked, "Just means I have to get the jump on one. Though I have yet to encounter one." If she ran into a senshi, she'd deal with it then. Until that point, it was the furthest thing from her mind. Starseed retrieval was her main priority. If a senshi stood in her way, she'd lay waste to them then.
The name Kunzite was somewhat familiar to her however. She'd heard the name in passing, and not in friendly tones. She tucked this tidbit of information away in case she were to ever cross paths with this 'cavalier'.
"Sounds like there's a major pest problem in these parts based on all that."

"Major pest problem?" Serandite's lips curved into an amused grin, leaning back onto the rooftop railing with a snicker. "That's quite the entertaining way to put it." She looked to her side, running her hand over the railing, fingers trailing across the cold metal. She seemed to ponder for a moment before speaking, making eye contact with Paragonite once more.
"Well, since you're under Linarite's team, simply focus on your mission. As much as I hate to say it, only those two morally-bankrupt-on-crack captains can handle Kunzite. The rest of us will die trying-- it's like battling a legendary pokemon at level one. " She referred to Obsidian and Hematite, eyes slanting in annoyance at the mere thought of them. She gritted her teeth, heel digging into the pavement.
"It was nice meeting you. If you ever need someone to cover for you, you can count on me." Clearly, Paragonite had earned points with Serandite-- major points. Complimenting her bunny and covering her a** while she had taken a break was enough to earn Serandite's seal of approval apparently. She flashed a bright smile, holding up her hand in a high-five, a difference from the conventional handshake.
