So he had gotten at least mostly drunk last night…after the whole…initiation into the Negaverse thing, and now as Nicolae laid on his bed, staring up at the ceiling, he could at least pretend to himself that it had all been some strange dream and none of it had really happened. Of course it had just been some wild hallucination caused by the substantial amount of booze he had guzzled with Alex. Yeah. That was totally it.
He yawned, then got out of his bed, rubbing his eyes and walking out, fully intent on getting a nice cup of coffee. There was no way that Alex was secretly a vampire looking guy, and that he, Nicolae was now a kickass looking guy in a suit who was going to round up terrorists with his ribbon baton.
That was just silly to even think about.
He passed the living room without bothering to look in, then grabbed himself a cup of hot coffee, filling it mostly with cream and sugar and walking to the living room, sitting in his chair and grabbing the remote to turn on the television. He had taken a large sip of coffee when he spotted Alex on his couch, covered up in a blanket.
At once, the coffee that had been in his mouth was being sprayed a foot away from him and dribbling down his chin. Well. Maybe all of the booze had been the hallucination, and not the other way around. Or..maybe the drinking had all been a dream…and everything else had been real. He wiped his mouth off and sighed.
“So…uh. Morning, Alex.”
There was going to be a mountain of questions. Maybe even a whole mountain range of them before the morning was over.

Well, Nicolae had done the drinking of the alcohol, Alexandre refused to drink after the first incident with the stuff. But Alexandre had enjoyed dinner and had than proceeded to shower, the other had been nice enough to allow him use of his bathroom and shower. Still in his clothing from yesterday, yuck, he was curled up on the others couch slowly rousing.
Shifting he waited, hearing the other moving around in the house, before he heard the other come into the living room. Slate eyes drifted open in time to see the other spray his drink about, likely coffee from the smell coming from the kitchen. "Something that surprising?" Shifting and pushing himself to sitting up, the blanket pooling in his lap, he stared at the other. Blond hair mused, and free of it's usual hair holder, he glanced around for a moment before spotting it sitting innocently on the coffee table. Grabbing his hair tie and finger combing his hair he swept it back and up into the hair holder.
"Good morning to you as well, thank you for letting me spent the evening. I hope your sleep was good."

Nicolae nodded and threw himself into his armchair, downing the rest of his cup of coffee in one gulp then setting it to rest on the small stand that was next to the chair. “I just…I guess I convinced myself that most…if not all of last night had been a dream, that’s all. Seeing you laying there…kind of made me a little…confused.”
To say the least. It felt like his head was spinning slightly, and he was quite sure that didn’t have much to do with his drinking last night…alcohol never would affect him for too long, after all.
“Yeah. I slept pretty well. I hope my couch was comfortable enough for you…” He paused, thinking of how best to phrase the question…for if nothing had happened the night before sans getting drunk…well, Alex might very well just think that he lost his mind. He stared at the boy as he put his hair up, then just sighed, deciding to come out with it. Honesty was best, after all.
“Did you put your hand in my chest and like, turn me into some sort of suit wearing badass last night?”

As he gained his bearings and stood slowly, stretching, he glanced down at the seated blond, god he needed to brush his teeth and get into some clean clothing. He'd have to get a cab home when this discussion was over, and that he felt could be awhile.
"Last night was no dream, I did indeed do what you remember. I brought you into this war - made you a Lieutenant of the Negaverse. Your duty, for now, is gathering energy and to not get in over your head against the enemy - some will be all too glad to put you out of commission or kill you." Glancing about he decided to help himself to the others kitchen, and a glass or hopefully bottle of water. He needed something to drink if he was going to be answering questions.
"As for your couch...it was comfortable." The sound of a refrigerator opening followed his words.

Nicolae didn’t bother getting up from his seat when Alex walked past and went into his kitchen…it seemed like it all fit. You know, when someone shoved their hand into your chest and made you part of some cult army…well. Clearly that made them better than family!
“I see. Well…that’s awesome then.” He paused, tugging his hair over his shoulder and absentmindedly braiding it and unbraiding it. “So…I have a few questions, Alex, if you don’t mind. And I’m very glad the couch was comfortable.” The blonde sighed, then just nodded slightly, tugging the bar to make his chair recline. “So…how does one…gather energy? And what do I do with it when I’ve gathered it?”
If these people wanted energy…why not just go stick a fork in a power outlet? Or drink one of those little energy shots? Besides…the term gathering energy…that sounded like he was going to be farming it or something. And for what purpose? That was a golden question right there. “Alex, what’s the energy for? How does that help fight against the terrorists?”

"I'd be surprised, and insulted, if you had no questions. It would indicate a lack of caring...or that your a mindless sheep. So please, ask your questions." Coming out of the kitchen with water in hand. Sipping from it he took his seat back on the couch, his attention on the other.
"Gathering energy is easy. Though at first it takes a good deal of focus. When powered up you need contact with a person, not much, and to focus on pulling or drawing the energy from that person. It will form, in your hand, into a small orb of light. Be careful, it's breakable. If you take too much the person will go unconscious. I tend to leave them like that, that way they don't fight back. As for what you do with it, you'll need me to help with that, it gets turned in down in the Rift. You'll need me to get there, you can't yet teleport." Once he was a Captain he'd be able to, but even then it would be draining for his fellow blond.
"I on;y know one of the uses we have for the energy, so do not think it's the only reason. I'm sure there are other reasons, more important ones, but youma - the remnants of those who fought these terrorists in the ancient past - need this energy to survive. This war goes back a very long time ago and has now picked back up. Some fighters from the past remain as something of...wraiths...shades. They are called youma." He would, today, bring his Lieutenant down to Negaspace and down into the Rift. He would show him everything he could. It was best he know everything as soon as he could.

Nicolae nodded, and for once it seemed that his grin was absent from his face. So…the rundown was…he needed to collect breakable orbs of energy to feed some wraiths and shades that were…well, monsters, he supposed. Age old monsters who…would help fight against the terrorists. Well…that seemed mostly easy enough, he supposed.
“Okay. So I get the energy and…what, I give it to you? Or…who? If I can’t go into this rift place…what do I do with my energetic orbs? Also…just what are the terrorists…you’re telling me that they’ve been around since…ancient times? They were ancient terrorists…and…”
He frowned. “But they look like they’re kids, or teenagers or whatever. How could they have been here since ancient times?” It seemed like a good enough question. He wanted to at least prove that he wasn’t a mindless sheep…but he didn’t want to seem completely stupid either…well. He’d work on a balance. After all, you couldn’t learn everything by just a question and answer session. Real life experience had to factor in somehow.

"I can bring you to the rift, you can call me though I will hopefully be with you when you go out at night to gather energy, the only way for energy to get there is to be brought by someone." He hoped with time that explaining things to new members, especially the ones he brought in, would become easier.
Sighing he pondered how to explain things, without sounding like a loon but really there was no way around it. "It is...it is a story you'd almost think came from some bad movie, or book. But those terrorists are reborn aliens from other planets. To answer in a long manner, which would make more sense I hope. The case is that in ancient times other planets were inhabited and had kingdoms. Each also had a senshi. Somehow, for some reason, I do not know they got involved in the war here. The Moon 's Queen wanted to rule the Earth and turn the people here into second class citizens. Now, as I said the senshi from other places became involved, as did the knights from other places, and along the way they died. Those spirits, the starseeds, were reborn into people living here now. So it is a reborn soul in a new body, so of course they look young. The body is but the soul is not." Now to wait and either be called insane, be laughed at, thrown out, or be accepted.

Nicolae fell quiet for a long, long moment, thinking this through…and trying to take it all in. Finally, after puzzling a few things out, he sighed. “So…you’re pretty much saying that…these people have all been reincarnated…but only their souls? So, there are the Senshi, who are from planets and s**t…and there are knights from other places…and…they’re all reincarnated?”
He twirled a piece of his blonde hair around his finger, then looked kid of confused. “So…what are we, then? Are we reincarnations of something too? Or is that just…reserved for the aliens?”
It seemed that those Buddhists might have been right about the whole reincarnation thing…though…damn. If there was life on other planets before? That was just…
“I hope you know this is a lot to take in, Alex. It really is…sorry If I’m sounding like a complete idiot here…I just…never believed in aliens before, you know?”

"Indeed, that's what I'm saying. The Knights are from elsewhere as well. Earth, Jupiter, Cosmos, and elsewhere. None of them are from here, not when we speak of their souls anyway." He answered with a light shrug of his shoulders.
"As far as I know - no. We are from here, we are normal people, we have just been given the ability to defend out planet." Though he could always find out some shocking news such as they were reborn souls also, and not from here. What a shock to his system that would be, he'd wind up all confused with his feelings.
"It's alright. I'd be surprised if you had no questions. I know I had some when I joined as well. I think...I think anyone who takes it all in and has no questions is a fool and a sheep. Questions need be asked and all which can be answered should be. I don't like the idea of someone fighting simply because they are told to, people like that are clueless sheep who I don't think I could trust in a battle. I still ask questions and seek answers and information - less now of course." He wanted to understand everything which he could about this battle, and being someone involved in it all he felt he had every right to know everything he could. He wished he could somehow find out everything, from a third person perspective, of the first war.
"What else can I tell you, what other questions do you have?" A sip of his drink as he settled back into the couch comfortably.

Nicolae nodded, trying to take this all in, but letting out a laugh. “Well…I don’t think I have any more immediate questions right now, I think I’m still a bit dumbfounded. It’s…Well. I thought it would be easier after sleeping all night, but nope. This is still confusing and something I’m not sure I can wrap my mind around completely.”
He gave a little grin and shook his head. “If I think of more questions though, could I call you and ask them? Or I don’t know. Come and hang out with you and ask them? I just.”
The blonde continued to twist the piece of hair and then gave a dramatic sounding sigh. “Aliens. In my city. Who would have thought that? I mean really. In a million years. I would never have pinned the strange crap on aliens. No wonder people get so freaked out.”
He glanced back over to Alexandre. “You really might have to give me a day or two to really let this sink in. I mean, I’m cool with it, but…To get anymore big questions…yeah that’ll take a little while.”

"I think the only reason I wrapped my mind around it was because I was taken down to where only us and the youma can go, plus I was under the weather at the time." He really had no logical reason for him to have believed it all and trusted Zinkenite, and he could only play it off on those two reasons and assume those to be the subconsious reasons. He hadn't, at the time, thought of why he was going along with it and taking it all in so well.
Laughing he waved a hand about easily. "You can call me, come over, or meet me somewhere out, I will be taking you out in the evenings. I won't have a new Lieutenant out on their own when any senshi of high rank can deal you a serious injury, or some knight." Shaking his head lightly as he spoke. "You can ask me then as well."
Nodding hishead he smiled at the other in a gentle, understanding, manner. "I agree. Though there are some normal civilians who have a clue also. Those people who went missing last year, I can't remember how many there were, they wound up in space. Trapped with senshi and knights..I don't know how they got there though I can only imagine it was something the senshi and knights had a hand in." Not that if you asked either faction they'd admit to it. They both acted clueless, or at least like they had nothing to do with it and were insulted you insinuated such. How stupid did they think he was? How else could they get to space when his faction, and their allies, had no way of getting up there previous to use of a great youma and some help from two mirrors and a corrupted senshi. No, they were the only ones capable of doing such a thing.
"Alright, that's fair. In the mean time I can take you down to negaspace and the rift. The rift was the former kingdom of Earth, or so I've been told. It's a place you'll only be able to get to with help until you reach Captain level." And he thought it was a good idea to brig him down there as soon as he could. Let him see their safe haven and see what was left of Earth's kingdom.

Nicolae nodded, mulling this over. “This really is very complicated…” He wasn’t going to lie, part of him was still highly considering that Alexandre was absolutely nuts in the head and this was all just an elaborate prank after some wild night of drugs and drinking that he hadn’t remembered doing…or maybe he was still high and this whole thing was an illusion. Maybe he would wake up later in some field, completely naked with a rabbit on his chest.
How strange.
“Well, all right. So I’ll talk to you soon and we can set up this field trip to Negaspace….and see the old…uh. Earth Kingdom...Sounds good to me.” The blonde gave a grin and nodded once more. “Yeah. Sounds really good. I’ll be calling you sometime soon, real soon, I guess.”
It couldn’t hurt. Maybe a trip down the rabbit hole would clear things up…of course, if he was on some crazy drug trip, promising a hallucination something wouldn’t do any harm, it couldn’t. One thing he knew however was that he wasn’t going to just be calling this guy soon….no, he wanted to really make sure he wasn’t just stuck in some strange dream or whatever.

Seeming convinced, or at least satisfied, with the answer he stood up slowly and finishing his drink setthe glass down. "I should be going then. You'll call me when your ready. And right now I need to get home and get a shower...and a change of cloths." Looking down at the clothing he'd worn the day before. Yup, he needed a shower and clean clothing. Alexandre didn't like wearing clothing two days in a row, for several reasons. One reason being that it likely wasn't cleaned between the two wearings, and the second being that even if it was...he'd worn it yesterday and people would surely notice!
Yes, he was a bit vain and thought about how other people saw him. His looks did concern him and he did care about how he looked and how other people saw him, at least when it came to his physical appearance. It was one reason he really did dislike his school uniform, it was so boring and dull! "I'll see myself out, you should get on with your day. Things will soon be less than normal..." No, soon this new Lieutenants world would consist of whatever job he had and training, going out at nights, possibly wearing himself out and crashing in bed at odd hours, soreness, injuries, and what have you. Giving the other an odd smile as he passed by on his way to the door.
"Call me soon, you need to learn and quickly."Think we can finish it here, unless you want to do one more post.
