Incoming message: Spider, meet me at the carousel. Lots to discuss. Bring sweets. - Moth
After sending the message off Abigail Lee pulled out her pen to henshin up. She had spent the majority of the day catching up with her sister; needing something familiar, something normal to realign her focus to the point where she could discuss things rationally with anyone else. Never mind that she missed her sibling... And had she died in the Surrounding no one would have known. She would have been just another missing person...
Now that she was back on her own mental track she slid out of her window, taking to the rooftops as she made her way towards the fair grounds, ignoring that they'd been closed for the fall and winter seasons. What were tall gates and locked doors to a senshi?

He had been a bit surprised at the message since he hadn't gotten anything from Thisbee in a while but he wasn't going to turn down an invitation from her. He was glad that Rikard was off doing something so he didn't have to worry about anyone else calling him asking what he was doing and did't have to make any sort of excuses as to where he was going.
He'd snuck out of the house before henshing up and headed across the city toward the fair. It was a bit on the far side but he'd learned how to traverse the city pretty fast and made it there in what he bet was record time.
"If I didn't know better i'd almost think this was a romantic rendevue." he grinned as he stopped by the carousel."

"Only if the sweets you brought are in a heart shaped box... And even then, I don't know." A soft smirk touched her lips as she slid down off of the pony that she had been perched on, popping a quick salute to the other senshi as she landed on her feet before eying him. "You did bring the sweets, didn't you? I'm starving and there wasn't anything in the apartment... I would have suggested going somewhere to get lunch, but." Her shoulders shrugged and she shook her head slowly. "It's kind of hard to talk about the things I want to talk about in public..."

He laughed and pulled a small bag out from under his coat. "I did. I had to stop by the store and get some sine I don't have any at home either." He held the bag out to her and hoped that she liked the assortment of candies that he'd grabbed.
"What did you want to discuss?" He was sued to Thisbe asking him questions about the war and fighting youma but something told him that woulnd't be the case today.

"My hero." She said with a mock swoon, leaning just a bit towards the dramatic before catching herself at the last moment, snatching the bag of sweets from him before heading over to flop down on the faux leather cushion of one of the stationary carousel seats. The senshi of woe picked out a few of her favorites from the bag before setting it down beside her, gesturing for Arachne to join her.
"The missing civilians. Well, missing now miraculously returned. You heard about all of that, I'm sure. You would have to live under a rock to have missed it all... But I didn't see you there and I don't know if you would have talked to anyone else who might have said anything to you about it. You do talk to other senshi beyond the ones whose skirts you're trying to get under, right?" A teasing smirk curved her lips as she unwrapped a piece of candy.

He ignored her swoon and after she sat down walked over to join her. He plucked a tart gummy candy out of the bag and popped it in his mouth, less because he liked the candy and more so he didn't feel left out of nibbling on something.
"I wasn't there." He nodded. "I heard about it though. Everyone's been talking about it and i do talk to Senshi who's skirts i'm not chasing thanks." He grinned. He knew quite a few male senshi and he liked talking to them when he could. A lot of them were cute too.

"I was there." She murmured, brow furrowing slightly as she brought her hands up to lower her hood so that she could run fingers thoughtfully back through her hair. "I didn't think we were going to make it home, to tell you the truth... It scared the hell out of me. The senshi are all so cluttered, so disorganized. They don't... We don't trust each other. Do we. Not you and I, but..." Her eyes lifted to the other senshi.

"Nope." He nodded and leaned back in the seat. "Senshi don't trust each other ... well no. I've seen senshi who trust other senshi just fine but they think that no matter what else happens they're the strongest and most important so they don't have to work with or listen to anyone else." That seemed to be the go to opinion he'd run into. Senshi didn't need anyone else. They could do everything on their own.
"It's stupid but trying to change their minds is like trying to stop a youma with a ball of lint."

"Hm. Senshi of Pocket Lint. Don't talk about that too loudly or one might just pop up." Thisbe snorted softly, head shaking as she stuck a Smartie into her mouth, letting the taste linger on her tongue for a second before chomping away on it. When it had dissolved completely she spoke again.
"I don't want to be that way. I don't want to die because I'm not willing to work with others. Hell... I don't want to die at all, but..." Her petite nose wrinkled. "I guess, what I'm trying to say, is that things need to change... And I thought, short of trying to find the purple haired hottie from the Surrounding, the best place to start would be with you. We work pretty well together, don't you think?"

"Purple haired hottie? Are you replacing me?" He looked at her, hurt written all over his face even though he knew she would know it was fake. "I don't know if I can work with you if you're going to think someone else is hotter than me."
She was right though. They -did- work well together. She could listen to him when he gave orders and she could come up with her own strategies when needed. She wasn't afraid of getting dirty either. He appreciated it, having someone around he could count on when he needed it.

"Arsinoe. His name is Sailor Arsinoe. And no, I'm not replacing you." She laughed, tossing one of the smarties from her wrapper at him. "I'm just saying that maybe, maybe I can see what you mean about some of the senshi running about... He's also shy, though, and I didn't exactly get his name." A soft smirk touched her lips. "Not like I need to worry about things like dates with co-workers when I've got the Negaverse and mid terms to worry about anyways."
Ignoring that she'd just tossed one of the sweets, she popped another into her mouth, letting it go the same way as the first. "Think you can look past that long enough to team up with me? Can two people really be considered a team?"

He laughed as he tried to duck the smartie, still getting hit with it on his shoulder."I don't think I've met him." He would have remembered someone with purple hair who was hot. "If you didn't get his name how do you know it now?" He raised a brow. "I wouldn't have thought you were sneaky enough to go stalking someone." He grinned at her
"Not sure if that would be a team. More a partnership."

"His real name. I know his 'secret identity'... Although, I suppose as we're sitting around here who we are in our other lives is the secret we need to be guarding." Her brow furrowed as her mind followed that tangent for a moment, watching the different trains of thought before shaking them all out of her head.
"I don't do the whole stalking thing. That's more your territory, don't you think?" Her brow quirked lightly as she eyed the senshi sitting across from her. "Partnership, team... All it means is that I've found a like-minded sucker, like I told Themis I would, and we should probably find more."

"If we told everyone our real names then we'd have no way to protect friends or to protect ourselves." he nodded. "Though i'm sure there are some who know each others names in both lives. It would be a good show of trust." He was pretty sure there would be some senshi out there who'd find out his real name and if they knew him would stop taking him seriously. Idiots.
"I don't stalk people. I just know how to find the senshi i'm looking for." He grinned. He did tag them on his phone for a reason and had figured out how to use it quickly. "Think we'd be able to find more like-minded suckers?"

"I'm sure he knows at least one other. He said something about looking for his cousin at the Surrounding. That's what they're calling that place we were all at." She couldn't remember if that had been included in any of the intergalactic memos that had been sent out to the senshi phones during the S.O.S. call. The thought of the senshi that Arsinoe had mentioned caused her brow to furrow again, though, and another thought to come to the front of her mind.
"Have you ever had deja vous after catching a glimpse of another senshi? Or should I just chock it up to the crazies? And sure! I mean... Why wouldn't we be able to? We've found each other, right?" Again that frown was replaced by a smirk.
