Welcome to Gaia! ::

Another night, another mark! Despite her dwindling grades, the need for energy was great for Princess Ares and the rest of the Dark Mirror senshi. She needed to do this every night if she could so that they could live. Or something. Regardless of whether that was true, here she was, hiding on the rooftop of a grocery store targeting people coming and going. Never did she take too much energy from her targets. Her job was not to kill, but to gather. Tonight a lot of people hung about the store. She had little time to daydream. It was in, out, in, out. Bring out the wraith, collect a bit, call him back into the mirror.

Tonight looked to be a good night. She'd been so busy meeting people and getting beaten up by people that she'd collected very little energy nowadays. Tonight she hoped to catch up.

But tonight? Tonight destiny had other plans. Stupid itchy destiny.

And theeeeere it was, the unmistakable signature of Order. Aurora glanced about as she retrieved her wraith and hid the shard behind her back. The White Moon senshi just sat there at the edge of the roof, watching. Maybe she wanted to talk and to make friends! Oh gosh please please please let it be just that!

"Heya~!" Aurora greeted the other senshi, a smile plastered on her face. Unless the other looked ready to pummel her to death there was no reason NOT to smile. "I haven't seen you before! I like your fuku." There really weren't any fuku that she hated either! "My name's Aurora. How're you doing tonight? Kinda cold. Do fukus come with magical scarves? Brrrrrrr..."

"TianGuan. Tian," Aurora repeated, trying to sound it out for herself. "Ahahaa, yeah, I'll call you Tian for short. It really IS easier to memorize. Or to say. Tianguabrl tiandgndg... UGH. Right! Rian it is! Tian, I mean. Tian." The dark mirror senshi laughed nervously. "It's a nice name though. Sorry I screwed it up already."

Aurora stayed put where she was too, only moving to rub her arms to get her blood flowing. "I'm afraid I can't really go home until I hit my quota for the night. Ehehe, sorry." She looked down at the people still doing their shopping. "I'm almost done so it won't be THAT long. Like, say, twenty minutes or so? Then I can go home and oh my gosh I will drink all the hot chocolate. All of it." She shivered to make her point. The hot chocolate must be made. It was important.

"So what're you a senshi of?" she asked, changing the subject.

She didn't have much time to think on what she meant, as Tian the senshi of masks used her magic to make two more of her. Aurora just stared in awe. That was... that was...

"Oh my gosh that's totally cool!" the dark mirror senshi squealed. She couldn't help masking her excitement of... well, anything really. The fact that Tian now had two mirror images of herself was totally useful! Could they all attack her at the same time? Oh man, wait,.. that would suck. Three Tianguabrlss or whatever on one Aurora would be a total massacre.

"Ahahahaha, I'm -- not sure exactly what to do now. Eeenie, meenie, miney Minky Momo." Her finger traveled from each image, until it landed on one of them. "Have a kiss from me. Aurora Lovelove Ensnare~"

Tian was glad that the attack landed on Aurora, but her luck was short lived; the girl's choice of 'eeny, meeny, miney, moh' seemed to be luckier tan her. It didn't take long for her to feel the other energy 'Tians' to disappear and she fell victim to Aurora's attack.

She was unmoving as the magic overwhelmed her; Tian felt warmer than usual and was sort of uncomfortable and comfortable at the same time. Blinking a few times, she tried to shake off the sensations, but all she did was sway a little bit side to side.

It felt good, but Tian hated it. For one, she was being attacked. For another, she hated the gushy sensations. It was not something she would devote time to, minus for her dog Cotton. But no matter... It would end soon enough.

Tian moved to a pose where she could readily defend or attack if needed. She watched as Aurora's figure slowly came more sharp to her eyes. "Well, that was interesting," Tian said calmy to Aurora. "Too gushy an attack for me, I think." Violently shaking her head, Tian blinked a few more times, trying to get herself as 'normal' as she could under the circumstances.

Once she felt like she was okay, Tian charged, aiming to kick Aurora's right side, hoping to knock the girl to the floor. It would be painful, but not deadly, more so hoping that Aurora would go home early than anything.

Tian knew that she had to defend herself, but it was quite a shock to see what Aurora decided to do. She felt bad that she had hurt her, mostly since studying to be a doctor meant for her to heal, not hurt. With Aurora at her leg, she just stood there. There would be no way she'd attack her again at this close of a range; it just felt wrong.

She looked down at the girl. "I didn't really want to yah know." Tian looked at her, somewhat sad for the girl. "Fighting came with you once you joined the DMC."

Pausing, she thought, wanting the girl off of her leg, not liking the physical contact with someone she didn't know. "Well, I asked you once and I'll ask you again: Will you just go home? I promise I won't attack again if you'd just let go of my leg and leave."

It probably would have been better defeating Aurora once and for all... So she couldn't cause anymore damage to others, but Tian didn't feel like it was something she could do.

"I think if no one wanted to fight, this war would have been quickly over." The girl seemed kind of naive... If she didn't want to fight, she would have never been a part of it. Not like Tian wanted to fight either, but that was something that came with her powering up at all.

Not like she could help others by taking hits and not hitting back.

At least Aurora listened to her this time. "You might not need to fight between other Chaos members, but I'm pretty sure there are tougher Order members that wouldn't mind beating you up." Tian laughed, just slightly. Most probably wouldn't say the next part, but she thought she should. "Take care of yourself."

Tian looked back before walking away and smiled. "I only do what I have to do, like you and your 'energy gathering'." Then she walked away, headed home.
