The Super Senshi was not expecting to get stuck in a tree today, but he supposed it was bound to happen again. He had gotten stuck in one some time ago, when he first started, and maybe he was trying to prove to himself that he could climb them now and not let them beat him.
He was wrong!
But that was alright, he was not in a hurry that night, and he didn't mind if he had to spend some time trying to extricate his foot from the strange branch that was angled just specifically enough that it was a perfect trap for his ankle.
He laughed as he swung back and forth, after a failed effort to lean up and free himself.
He'd get down eventually, somehow. Or maybe someone would come along and help him down! It had been a good way to make friends last time, after all.

She didn't know why she was out again like this. The only answer she had, for herself of course, was that she'd already been told she couldn't escape this and that she might as well get used to this new form.
It seemed like tonight would be another potentially bad night for her, that first night with the General had been really bad. It certainly felt weaker than the general but the feeling of something dark still hit her as she came upon a small grouping of trees. She had just been working on trying to sense things, not wanting to miss things whenever she was out - she didn't want to be caught blind.
If she could sense them than surely they could sense her, even if she didn't see anyone standing or walking around. Might as well call out. "Who's there?" How she must sound right now.

"Oh! I'm up here!"
He was certainly not an owl or, from his position upside down, a bat. No, it was just a very stuck Dark Mirror Senshi hanging from a tree nearby. He smiled and waved as best he could, though his perception was all skewed by his angle. He was not used to seeing things upside down after all.
It was very disorienting!
"I don't know if you can help me!" He laughed again, taking his embarrassment in stride. If he even felt it at all. He grinned and shifted a bit, but his foot was so thoroughly stuck that there was no way for him to even accidentally fall.
"But I seem to be stuck. Climbing trees is harder than I thought it was when I was a kid! Or maybe I've just gotten too big for it."

Up....oh! There. What was he doing up in a tree? Was it that he was hiding? Or had been trying to rather. But it didn't seem likely given that he was hanging upside down like some human pinata. Should she help? This could easily be a trap. But wasn't hanging upside down, such as he was, dangerous over long periods of time?
Decision made, and hoping it was the right one, Delphi made her approach. Her hells sinking into the grass and leaving holes in their wake. "I can attempt to help." She spoke. At five foot seven she could hopefully be of some help, even if it was just to hold his head up. The blood rushing to his head must be bad, she knew on her own that hanging upside down left her with headaches and suffering vertigo.
So he'd been trying to climb the tree...and failed, obviously, but why had he been trying to climb the tree. "And why would you be climbing a tree?" Came the cool question from the page of Polaris.

"Thanks!"
He smiled at her as she came closer. No trap to meet her, of course, as he was just not that kind of dude. He didn't like the idea of tricking people by being fake nice; he was just legit nice.
He had been accused of being something else though, a few times. His nice attitude was often thought to be a ruse, like he was just playing nice so he could hurt them or just make fun of them. That was literally never the case.
Ever.
"My foot is kind of wedged there! I was trying to climb the tree and see if I had gotten any better at climbing stuff and jumping and all that. It doesn't look like I did!" He laughed.

Winterlynn being who she was; wasn't very trusting of people. She'd never been trusting of people and so while she approached the other she was still weary, ready to ht him with the little toy in her hand. "What are you and who are you?" She asked, she might as well find out who this blond haired...boy was.
While Winterlynn was new to this war she knew it was best not to trust people, especially those who felt like this blond. But he honestly did seem in need of help, and she was one to help people. "No, it doesn't. You should give it up." She stated blunt as ever while she moved in close and tried to get up on tip toe toe see where he was caught and held in place.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I was not paying any attention to anything other than being upside down and that's rude of my! My name is Virtus, and I am a Super Senshi of Kindness! I mean, I am a Dark Mirror senshi, and my sphere is Kindness!"
He was getting a little woozy, really, with his head closer to the ground than his feet were.
Making an accidental grunting sound, he tried to haul himself up again, so he could maybe help get his foot free, or at least keep the blood out of his head some more.
"Tree climbing? I suppose I should, but then, I'd never learn anything if I was afraid of failing. I'll just keep trying, I think, and hope for better luck next time."

"I see....dark mirror...." Not a term she knew or had heard of. But it was one she would remember, as would she remember his name and sphere. No need for her to write things down, her memory was that good, she wouldn't be forgetting him - especially given this interesting meeting.
"Delphi...Page of Polaris." It was still new for her, using that name and title. It still felt odd on her tongue and she wondered about this Polaris, if she thought too long on it she felt...owned. It wasn't a pleasing thought to be sure. But since she hadn't met this Polaris she didn't know a thing about her position - she wasn't even sure she wanted to know. She knew she was involved in this, couldn't escape it, but did she want to work with others? No. She knew she might need help, as much as she loathed the idea of being helped and owing others, but she also didn't want to find herself in a position similar to the one with that General.
Lifting his head up, to help him, she shook her head. "Yes, but if no one finds you and you wind up like this again? Then what? Stay here all night like an idiot?" She questioned while tapping one foot. Now how to get his foot out...and how to get a good look at the predicament it was in? She didn't think she was cut out to climb a tree - it wasn't her thing and never had been.

"Delphi! I like that name!"
He liked lots of names, and he always pointed it out when he did, but he couldn't help himself. There were a lot of interesting ones out there, definitely. Space had a lot of pretty things in it, and it was only fitting that they were all named after things like that!
It was great, and kind of interesting. He wished he had been taking better notes, really.
"I don't mind looking like an idiot when I've been one! And I don't think I look like an idiot, I think I look like a monkey. Or maybe a bat? That's okay though, I'm sure someone will come along and help me if you really don't want to, I can understand why you wouldn't!"
Sometimes the White Moon were moody about their Chaos counterparts, and he could understand that. It didn't mean he had to be rude in return, though.

Taken aback by his exclamation she nodded slowly. "T-thank you." Gathering herself she nodded her head firmly, more for her own sake than the blonds. "Virtus sounds like virtue." At least to her it did, and given his sphere (what was a sphere really?) it seemed fitting in her mind. Why she even blurted such a silly thing out she didn't know - other than it sounded right.
"I don't mind helping now. I mean in the future when this happens again." She was already planning to help him right now. But she was sure that this would happen again and he'd look like a pinata once again, not a bat or a monkey. Given she was told this was a war he would be more like a pinata waiting to be struck by someone.
"Let's see if I can't get your foot out of this tree." And she really did have to try and climb her way up the tree and into a branch so she could sit down and get a look at things from a proper vantage point. The climb up was no easy task either, as she slipped several times before getting a good foot hold and hoisting herself up into a branch. At least she wasn't in a dress or skirt, that would be pretty embarrassing.

Virtus thought about it and decided that it did sound a lot like virtue, though he couldn't remember if he had heard that before or not. It was a very good name, he liked it a lot. Not that he had picked it, or that he would have been dissatisfied with any name he was given, but still.
He liked this one!
He watched her as she climbed, though it was a little disorienting because it looked like she was climbing face first downwards, rather than up, but he knew that was only because he was hanging upside down.
As much fun as it was, he was really looking forward to being the right way up again.
"You climb very well!" He said, smiling and letting his arms dangle over his head. He was getting a little tired and feeling weird. He did try to help though, pulling on his foot as best he could to try and create a little give. Maybe she could just... push it out of where it was stuck.

"It only looks easy." It was far from easy really, and she'd never climbed before. She supposed the tread on her boots helped some. But she still had a hard time with the climb. Safely up in the tree she settled herself in to find out just how to free the obviously trapped senshi, that certainly wasn't an english word she knew.
While she looked over his foot she did try and get her hands into a place between his foot and the tree, so she could try and push his foot out of the spot it was in. "Think you can turn your foot? If not don't try." He didn't need to get injured trying to free himself. She'd just try another way.
"Next time you try and climb a tree you should have someone with you, so this doesn't happen again." And he get left like this for who knows how long. She really didn't think he should try again at all but it didn't seem like this would dissuade him, not if his words were anything to go by. So he might as well take someone with him. No one needed to go making themself into a human pinata.

Virtus smiled and nodded, which made his throat clench in a strange way, and a shudder moved down (up) into his stomach. He decided not to move his head at all now, if he could help it, just in case something drastic happened.
The last thing he wanted to do was throw up on someone. On the list of rude things to do to someone you just met, throwing up on them was at the top.
"I can do that!"
He tried to turn his foot as directed, so she could help get him free of the way he had been wedged. He managed to do so, so she could help push his foot out, then promptly fell to the floor below. He pulled himself so he didn't land on his head, at least, laying on his back. He let out a breath.
"Thank you!"

Watching him fall she felt herself wince, looked a bit painful. Now stuck up the tree, hesitant to climb or jump down, she shifted and in an awkward manner she managed to half climb and half jump down from the tree. Landing oddly, a little twist to her left ankle, she stood looking down at him.
"Glad to see you down from there. How long were you like that?" She finally asked, wondering how long he'd suffered hanging upside down like that. She knew, personally, that she was never climbing a tree again. She didn't like getting down more than she disliked getting up that tree, and she didn't like the idea of climbing a tree and then not wanting to come down.
Shifting her weight from to one side she looked down at the senshi and slowly offered a hand to him. "So what is this dark mirror you mentioned?"

It had hurt, but Virtus had imagined it would and braced himself the best he could. As a healer whose powers could work better if he took some of the damage on to himself, he was learning how to deal with pain in steps, and how to block it out of his mind.
"Around ten minutes, I think! I was getting a bit dizzy! I think I'm trying to figure out which way is up now but it feels much better then being absolutely sure I was the wrong way around! Thank you for the help, I really really appreciate it."
He reached up to take her hand and got up slowly, brushing his pants off and straitening his clothes.
"I'm up! Are you okay?" he noticed she was standing a little funny and his 'possibly hurt' radar began to blare in his head. His instincts were to help her immediately, and he almost forgot to answer her question. "Oh, the Dark Mirror are senshi! We just work with Chaos in us, but people think that makes us bad and they're entitled to believe that, and we'll just prove to them that we're not!"
