Welcome to Gaia! ::

Autumn was creeping in. The days were still warm, but they were shorter, and the warmth of the day didn't last through the darkness of the night anymore. Wind rustled through the trees, plucking colored leaves from their stems and adding to the sounds and smells of the approaching fall. Though chilly, it was lovely. Navi had always loved this time of year, and just because she was now a soldier in a magical war for earth that didn't change anything.

Arms crossed across the expanse of bare skin along her stomach, the Dark Mirror Senshi of Tumbleweeds made her way down a tree lined stretch of street within inner Destiny City. She'd already done her duty to her court for the night. Both mirrorwraiths tucked within the cuff of her boot were sated. So no she was free to enjoy the night and the first signs of fall.

Well, relatively free. There were always knights to be hunted and senshi to enlighten. Pausing briefly, Navi searched the area for any hints of auras, order or chaos alike. There was something, but it was far off and hard to identify. She turned her head, staring off in the distance as if she could actually see the source. After a moment or two curiosity had her turning on a heel, heading off in the direction of the tingling sense of power resting at the edge of her metaphorical radar.

As she drew closer, Navi quickly came to realize the power she wandering towards belonged to a member of the Order side. It felt like a Senshi aura, and Navi was always eager to meet the fuku clad soldiers of the White Moon. The more she met, the better her chance of convincing one of them to take a walk through a mirror to join the rightful court.

As she neared she heard the other senshi calling out, and a quick smile passed across pale pink lips before she answered back. "Sailor Navi, Senshi of Tumbleweeds." She didn't mention her affiliation with the Dark Mirror Court, as she felt it would probably be obvious by both her aura and the look of her fuku.

The girl she came to face was a pretty thing, and Navi took a moment to look the other girl over, lingering on that long hair before snapping up to meet blue eyes. "And you might be?"

Oh good, the flower didn't want to fight. That was a plus, seeing that Navi generally wasn't looking for a fight when she came across order aligned senshi.

She was about to introduce herself when Aster seemed to burst and a whole mess of word vomit came spewing out of that pretty little mouth in Navi's direction. Great, just what she needed, a preachy senshi trying to enlighten her to the ere of her ways. It was enough to have Navi rolling her eyes, and the whatever smile she'd had on her face slipped away as she crossed her arms over her chest.

She waited until Aster had said her fill, all the while regarding the other girl with an incredulous expression. "Are you finished?" A little rude, maybe, but after that rant she felt she had a right to be blunt. "First of all, if you're going to try to tell me I'm wrong, you should at least know what you're talking about." Honestly, The DMC was getting really sick of people assuming they knew anything about the DMC that wasn't speculation and rumor.

"You don't know what I do," she continued, advancing a few steps so che could poke a finger at the other girl. "You have no idea how I operate, or what my goals are." Another poke. "And you just said yourself you don't know anything about our relationship with the negaverse."

Her voice was raising, but she was upset. How many times now had she been accused of being some terrible monster? "The only people I've ever hurt were a** holes and thugs that were preying on innocent people." Not every member of the DMC had as high a moral compass, but a few did at least. "And I don't come at you people with guns blazing, looking to hurt you, but you can't say the same for a good number of your own ranks."

Pale lips pursed, and thin brows contracted down over the bridge of her nose as Aster continued to carry on. "Again, you don't know enough about what you're talking about." Like so many of the White Moon, they didn't have fact to go off from. They had here-say, rumors, and a jumble of orders coming from a fractured leadership that was missing the key component of an actual leader.

"I don't go around hunting Negaverse or Youma, but that doesn't mean I'm not trying to help the Senshi of the White Moon." Not that they all saw it as help. At least not yet. She was still hopeful that they could convince some of them to come over to the Dark Mirror Court, and once they had managed that, it only seemed logical that they'd have an easier time of it after that. They'd have those Senshi already having crossed over, and they'd do well to drive the point home.

"Our court has a leader, and a purpose, and a mutual goal we're all working towards." Her eyes narrowed. "That's how I justify myself."

"I fighting for what I believe in is justification for the things I do," she countered, mirroring the other senshi with her arms crossed under her chest. "And I've seen plenty of Order aligned Senshi and Knights doing unspeakable things, so it's not as if the issue is so very black and white." Her voice was beginning to rise. She was getting defensive. "So many among you would rather attack first and ask questions later," she continued, unfolding her arms to poke at the other girl's chest. "You're all hypocrites."

This conversation was getting them nowhere. It had become clear within the first minute that Navi had come across a person so steadfast in their opinion that any thing she had to say to defend her court would have no effect. "Maybe you're the exception, but it's not just chaos that turns automatically to violence, just as it's not just Order that seeks the more peaceful route."

She huffed, bristling at having been called evil once again. "It's very clear that your opinion isn't going to change, so if we're not going to battle this out physically I think I'm wasting my time with this conversation."
