Sinon tried to ignore the biting cold. She pouted, childishly jutting out her bottom lip as she trailed through the streets on her skateboard. It was probably not intelligent to ride on a skateboard if she wanted to be as warm as possible, but running was just as chilly and walking on patrol didn’t sound too productive. Reluctantly, she continued to roll forward, used to the scratchy hum of her worn wheels against the pavement. At first Sinon feared that the sound would attract youma or negaverse, but it only happened on a once-in-a-blue-moon basis, much to her relief.
She hugged herself, trying to force her body heat to stay in rather than dissipating into the atmosphere. The soldier of lies grumbled and continued to silently weep over the cold until she spotted a splash of light green. Oh? Sinon leaned back just slightly, guiding her board towards the stranger, clad in bright colors that flagged him as either a senshi or an eccentric cosplayer. She narrowed her eyes, affirming the Victorian-slash-old-England theme of his costume. Her gaze locked onto the extravagant hat and she snaked towards the boy.
Within seconds, she slid past him and casually reached out to swipe away his hat. Sinon grinned, playfully placing it on top of her messy red hair. She considered stopping so she could return it to him, but she also considered keeping the accessory for herself. It was tempting!
Creeeeaaaaakkkk . . .
Rusty metal pierced the silence. Knowing what was in store for her, she put down a foot to stop her skateboard and looked back, a hand still resting on the green hat. An antiquated armor hobbled into the middle of the street before regaining its balance and standing straight, tall and regal. The youma wheezed; the sound metallic and shrieking.
Sinon scowled and covered one of her ears with her free hand. Ow.

Gianfar was new to this, that was no secret. He was getting used to all this; the patrolling, the fighting, the powers, the secrets. He didn't like secrets, they might as well be lies. He may have had a 'team' to work with, but he was still the new guy. All the other senshi had ways of patrolling, methods and rituals and routines. They all had their systems. Gianfar had to figure out one for himself now. For now he was just going to stick with walking, half tempted to try his motorcycle for patrolling but thinking better of the idea. For one, he didn't want to hurt his bike again, and second he didn't want anyone to identify him by his bike, or hear him coming. Those were all bad things. So for now walking would do until he could think of a better method.
What...was that sound? He paused a moment and looked around, hearing the natural hum of...wheels? Not motorized, but--GAH! His had! Gianfar gasped and reached out for the hat that was sailing away from him in the hands of some redhead on a skateboard, his eyes wide. "Hey!" He called out to her as she put it on. He had no idea who she was, though she seemed to be a senshi? But that was his hat! "Give that back!" He chased after her even if he wasn't quite as quick on foot as a girl on a skateboard, skidding to a stop beside her when he heard the creaking. What was that?
For now his hat was forgotten in favor of covering his ears and wincing, staring at the strange youma. Oh great. His hat could wait, they needed to get that thing. "Are you any good at fighting?" His power was best used when he had a partner, and he really hoped his partner was a decent fighter.

Sinon specialized lies; sometimes she would jokingly proclaim it to other senshi. Occasionally they would believe her—she was the soldier of lies, after all—but the truth was that the redhead didn’t have a lying bone in her body and could even be dense about certain subjects. In fact, she did not observe the fact that Gianfar’s lack of super-awesome, super-powered jumping implied his newbie skills.
“I’m afraid I can’t do that at the moment.” Lips jutted out into a pout as she casually adjusted the hat on her head. A hand still resting on the brim of her hat, Sinon examined the youma. “Metal. Not exactly the greatest thing for me to fight,” she noted with a scowl and click of her tongue. She glanced at the other senshi and bit her bottom lip. “Well, overall, I like to think I’m decent.” At least Sinon had been brushing up on some actual martial arts and other useful battle skills.
The knight mechanically moved its legs to hobble around and face the pair. Creeeeaaaakkk . . . It appeared to be devoid of vocal chords, instead left with the screechy sound of metal grating metal. If the gleaming sword in its hands didn’t kill the senshi, then the shrieking sounds of the youma would surely kill their ears as corollary.
“It may be best for you to break into a store with something that can smash that guy up. A baseball bat would be good.” She nodded her head as she recalled days of playing baseball with her siblings. “In the meantime, I’ll keep him busy!” Just as Sinon finished her sentence she rushed forward, fist pulled back as she prepared to call out her attack.
All the while, her other hand firmly gripped Gianfar's hat. Huh.

Can't do that?! She could totally give him his hat back! He loved that hat, it was so awesome! He grumped at the girl and was about to just take it until she replied that she was also going to be at a disadvantage with this. Oh, great. Why'd it have to be metal? Why? Whyyyy! But at least she was decent. Gianfar breathed a slight sigh of relief at that. "Okay, good. I'm not terrible, but I'm not great against a suit of armor I don't think. Never fought one." What? It was true! He was still getting used to fighting. "I don't think my power would do us much good here either...we need something to fight it wi--gah!" His hands flew to cover his ears as he winced and tried to block out the loud noise. It was enough to muffle the youma a smidgen but not enough to completely block out what the other senshi was saying to him. What?! Gianfar couldn't just break into a store! That was totally against his personal moral code!
"You're got to be crazy if you think I'm--" He was nearly blinded by the light reflecting off the youma's sword into his eyes, cursing under his breath and turning away. Fine! He'd...go find a store! There had to be a sporting goods store around here somewhere. He looked around with squinted eyes for one in the immediate area, seeing a bit of a blue haze in everything from the sun shining directly in his eyes a moment ago. Ow. Maybe if he walked into a sporting goods store and asked? He wasn't going to deface property like that. He just couldn't.
He finally found a store nearby and ran into it, grabbing a baseball bat and a golf club the moment he saw them. The bewildered storekeep moved to protest. "OI! YOU GOTTA PAY FOR THOSE YOU CRAZY KID!"
"I'll bring them right back! I'll even buy them if I damage them!" He really would keep his word, too. What would he do with a broken golf club and a broken baseball bat? Who knows! Gianfar then ran out with the two 'weapons', deciding he'd keep the club for himself. "Hey! Catch!" He called out to the girl as he tossed the bat in her direction in a way that it could, hopefully, easily be caught.
...She still had his hat! What the hell!
