Welcome to Gaia! ::

Selenite was stalking around with a frown on her face. She'd been involved in the snowball fight between the Negaverse and senshi the other day (it sill made her roll her eyes whenever she thought about it), and had left on account of the cold after taking one too many snowball attacks. Her Captain hadn't lasted the whole fight, but he'd stayed longer than either of his subordinates, which meant extra patrol to build up stamina against the cold.

Stupid senshi. Arms folded across her chest, the blue-haired lieutenant had her hands tucked under in order to keep them warm. At least she had a long sleeved top, and gloves, and overall, she was grateful for her uniform. Better than prancing around in heels, like whoever's footprints she'd just found. Glancing ahead on the path, Selenite noticed a flash of white outfit and red hair - it seemed familiar, like something she'd caught out of the corner of her eye.

Hmm. Whoever it was didn't seem to be paying much attention to their surroundings, so Selenite started to walk a little faster, in an attempt to catch up. It was hard to walk quickly and silently over snow, but she managed for the most part.

Except for when she stepped on a twig, the SNAP echoing loudly in the otherwise quiet park.

Selenite had kept walking after the twig had snapped, although she had stopped and quite visibly winced. Thankfully her captain wasn't around, or else she'd be sure to get a gently mocking talking to later. She stopped, however, as soon as the senshi spoke to her.

"Well," the bluenette said, attempting to judge the distance between them, "If you're offering, how about your starseed?" Not quite close enough, she judged, summoning her weapon with a small pop of displaced air and shuffling a few steps closer, once more thankful for her boots. Although this senshi had a remarkably sensible outfit.

For a senshi, anyway.

That was...an interesting reaction, Selenite mused, watching the senshi clutch her hands to her chest. Maybe some other Negaverse agent had attacked her? That would explain the probably subconscious action to cover the area most people went for when extracting a starseed. Mentally shrugging the thought off, Selenite took a couple more steady steps forward, bringing her pointer into more of an attack position.

That proved to be a worthwhile measure as her opponent suddenly darted forward, throwing a kick out for good measure. It was a little off, but enough to make Selenite spin slightly on the snow and wet sidewalk, throwing her off balance.

So, she knew a little bit about how to fight. And knew enough not to start shouting about love and justice, or whatever it was senshi fought for. Luckily, Selenite also knew about how to fight, so she was able to turn her spin into a controlled pivot that sent a flashing strike with her pointer towards Maia.

First blood, as it were, to Selenite, who smirked a bit and took a step towards the retreating senshi. It was always nice to have the upper hand, although senshi could have such irritating attacks once they'd tired of the physical.

Which her opponent proved as the next step Selenite took felt like it was taking forever. Why was she doing this again? Shaking her head, the bluenette frowned and attempted to snap herself into a better guard position. She'd heard the attack called out, and seen the music notes, so that meant she'd used her ability.

Right? Selenite pondered this as she felt a jaw cracking yawn begin to build up; clearly she'd been spending too long out on patrol at night and not enough time sleeping. Well, once she defeated this senshi, she could head back to the Crystal dorms and pass out. Forget homework, for once.

Selenite was able to see Maia running at her, and the kick coming, but her counter to cover her side was slow. Too slow, really, and the bluenette was only able to get her elbow hit for her trouble. With only a small amount of force deflected, Selenite went stumbling away, much faster than if she'd tried moving under her own power.

A low growl escaped her once she'd gotten her bearings back, much more menacing than the grunt of pain that had issued from her moments before. "Senshi have the weirdest attacks," she grumbled with a yawn, taking up another defensive stance. With her energy this low - and why the sudden drop? - it was better to counter attacks that came. Make her opponent exhaust herself, instead of spending the last dregs of her strength.

She hadn't expected the snowball, which came in once again too fast for her to deflect. It might have started out as light and fluffy on the ground, but after being packed into a ball, it well, packed quite a punch, hitting the Lieutenant square in the ribs. Selenite let out another grunt, breath streaming out in a white banner as the impact made her stagger again.

"As if being involved in a snow fight once wasn't enough," she muttered, placing her hands on her knees to get her wind back. She flicked a glance at the senshi, braid hanging over her shoulder. Fine. A quick - for her at the moment - movement and Selenite had her own snowball ready to throw. "Well?" she asked as the ball went flying towards the enemy.

((No problem! <3 Lemme know when the attack wears off; I'm not really sure how long a minute would in a fight lmao.))

As suddenly as it had arrived, Selenite's lethargy shook itself off, leaving the Negaverse officer fully alert for the first time since. Oh. Stupid goddamn senshi magic, she grumbled internally. Well. Ticking over what she already knew about senshi in general, it seemed likely that her opponent would be able to get off another attack at some point. Possibly not right away, however.

Which meant that her best opportunity was probably right now.

So with a sharp grin, Selenite launched herself forward, swinging her pointer at the senshi. She wasn't aiming anywhere, really; she'd be satisfied with landing any sort of hit.
