Pharos was bruise free and in a great mood tonight for that reason. She'd fed her kittens and slipped out making sure not to make to much noise less she wake the landlady and her mother be informed she was sneaking out at night. She had already encountered and dusted a fairly weak youma and now she was just skipping along in the park humming and being her cheery self.
She stopped at a water fountain to grab a quick drink before heading over to a park bench and plopping onto it, folding her legs up indian style, and pulling out her stupid cloth flower to look the thing over. She really hoped it would become something more functional in the future, she didn't think she would enjoy it if she kept the useless flower. She could understand if she acting in a play.
She stood holding the flower out and pretending to swoon, "why yes I except this token on your undying affection," she spouted before tumbling over laughing, blonde hair sprawled across the grass where she landed. She gave another laugh before sighing, "alright Pharos darling, enough of that, time to get back to work," she said sitting up.

Super Sailor Virtus, Senshi of Kindness, was a little bit more sore than he was used to being. He had gotten in to one too many fights as of late, and was really feeling the weight of that. He had bruises to spare, and was slower than he normally was when on patrol.
His upbeat attitude remained, but his eyes reflected pain as he smiled and did his best to keep soldiering on.
He felt an aura nearby and decide to head toward it, though he was hoping against hope that he wouldn't have to get into another fight. Maybe this person would just want to talk, or he could simply run away if they seemed angry with him. That wasn't rude, after all, because they obviously didn't want him there in the first place and he was just undoing a previous error by fleeing.
Clearly this made sense and was a good tactic.
He saw someone fall over in the grass and ran closer in case they were hurt. The sound of laughter reached him though and he couldn't help but smile.
"Are you okay, miss?"

Pharos looked up and froze looking over the uniform and feeling the energy. She eyed him warily, but responded as she careful pulled herself to her feet. "I'm fine, just thinking about how this," she held out her flower," would be so much more useful as a play prop."
She took a step back from him still eyeing him a bit nervously, "um listen okay, whoever you are. I'm not looking for any trouble okay. So if you've got a thing against knights I going to be on my way now."
She stood waiting for a reactions despite the fact that it would probably be better if she left after her statement, but she didn't want to go running off if this guy wasn't going to try to pummel her. She was being or trying to be more careful, but she was ridiculously curious and extremely optimistic. It was not always such a great thing to be pretty much wearing rose tinted glasses most of the time.

The Dark Mirror Senshi smiled warmly, nodding his head as she pointed out what she was doing with the flower. He had not done much theatre in his time at school, though he did help in a few productions when he was asked to.
The concept of auditions didn't work for him. He could not wrap his head around competing for something that other people obviously wanted much more than he did, even when he did, in fact, want to be in it quite a lot. He just could not take a chance away from someone else, just by adding his name to the competition.
He would rather someone else get it, without adding to how difficult it was.
"Oh, I don't have anything against knights! In fact, I met one the other day and he told me about this little bottle of power that he found that made him into a knight and I was hoping I would find one and then I could be a dark mirror knight or something! Did you find a bottle of power too"

Make believe was something Pharos did well so pretending with a flower came with ease, but she hadn't been much for auditions either and most people rather waved her off. She also hadn't much acting experience outside of playing pretend.
Pharos felt at ease when he said he didn't have anything against knights, rather happy for now it didn't seem he was going to be throwing punches at her or in general trying to end her.
"A little bottle of power," she questioned blinking before shaking her head in the negative. "No I didn't find any bottle of power. No I sorted died, I think, and then undied a page. Its all very far fetched and complicated, but it happed over a year ago now."
She moved back over to the bench and plopped down, "is it even possible for you to become a knight and why would you want to anyway. You get cool magic attacks. I got a flower and its not even a real one."

Virtus didn't realize that she meant the Surrounding, nor did he understand what she meant when she said she died. But he was glad to hear that she had gotten it undone, as that would have been sad and he never would have met her!
Of course, he never would have known that, either, but that was beyond the point.
"Well maybe there are different ways for a knight to wake up! I'm going to try and find that bottle though. Maybe since you used a different way the bottle meant for you is still out there!" He did not know any of the rules for being a knight and was making it up as he went along.
He just really liked the idea of find a bottle of knight power all for himself. He'd share it, if anyone asked, of course. But it was sort of his quest.
"Well I would still be who I am, I think! I love my place in the dark mirror, though my magic isn't as cool as your items! I love flowers! I make paper flowers, you know." Oops, a bit too much personal information there, but he didn't think she'd be able to find him from that. Lots of people made flowers out of paper right?

Pharos nodded, "yeah well I hope most of those ways don't involve dying. I'd have to admit I much rather that bottle of power, but then again bottles of power, well power in general don't always look lead to great things."
Pharos grinned relaxing more and feeling happy. "Maybe the bottle is out there for me, but I think maybe I'm going to leave it be. If I meant to have it, I'll find it someday, right?"
Pharos looked at her flower and held it out to Virtus, "well I'm not sure about that, but um maybe you could tell me more about the dark mirror. I mean I don't really see what to like about it. I mean I don't dislike it, but I don't know much about it."
She held out her little pink cloth flower to Virtus and smiled, "you can look it over if you like. It's pretty cool that you make paper flowers. I can't make paper flowers, but I'm super good with animals."

Virtus looked thoughtful. The knight with the bottle seemed to be happy enough, though a little confused maybe. But they all were, really, because this war thing was hard! and he was only just getting a hang of how to treat all the different sides.
The idea that he might be able to combine two sides was mindblowing! Completely impossible, and he was way wrong in his understanding of things, but that did not really occur to him yet. He was thrilled with his current quest and looking forward to keep searching.
Maybe meeting more knights would help him, though he knew that they were not allies or friends in any way and most would not spare time for a Dark Mirror Senshi unless they were new and didn't know better or were just nice.
But maybe there were a lot of nice ones!
"Well, we're just senshi trying to make a home for everyone! We just want to see everyone where they properly belong, and to help the white moon senshi see our side of things. They hate us, you know, and I understand that. But I don't think they let themselves see things how we see them and it might help."

Pharos didn't really know how things worked either, but when one was introduced to the war the way she was well anything seemed possible and totally within reason, even when she wasn't sure how it worked.
A year ago, she most certainly wouldn't have thought she could just go to space just because she wanted to, but it was possible.
Right now though she blinked totally confused by Virtus's words repeating them aloud to herself, "make a home for everyone?"
"I don't think I really understand what it is you mean. Where exactly is it that you think everyone belongs. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure I belong here. I mean I was born her right?"
She sat up a little taller and reached out to pat Virtus on the arm, "I understand about not being liked at all. A lot of your dark mirror sort of hate knights, or so I am told. And a lot of people in general use to not like me." Probably more information than she needed to give, but wanted to show her understanding.

"Well, I think you might have been, and we all were, I mean, as people. But Senshi come from space, too, and we should. You know. Go back there!" He was not exactly sure about that part, really, but he smiled and felt like it sounded like a pretty convincing argument anyway.
He wanted to be happy, and he wanted everyone else to be, too. Maybe they could do that, if everyone went to the homes they were meant to be. Or if they all just joined the Dark Mirror! It was a lovely Court, and they would really like it if they gave it a chance, he was absolutely sure of that much.
"Yeah, we're not really supposed to be nice to you, but I can't help it. I don't think being mean to everyone is going to be the answer, right? If we can be nice to each other we don't have to fight all the time!" That was incredibly stupid to say out loud, but it seemed a concept that far too many of them could miss. The Senshi of Kindness believed in it, of course. Just being kind to one another. "But if it makes you feel better, I like you!"

Pharos frowned and shook her head, "yeah I don't think they want that. Why would they. It's not exactly anything up there. I wouldn't want to go live on my wonder, there is no one there. I would be all alone if I stayed there. Maybe that's how the senshi feel too. Have you ever been to space? You know, gone to this place you came from?"
Pharos wasn't sure the plan was a totally logical plan, because if senshi homes were like the surrounding, there was no one around and that would be dreadfully lonely. Even with a team as large as them had Pharos didn't think she could get use to just them. Of course Pharos was assuming she'd have to go alone she had no idea what the dark mirror courts plans actually consisted of.
Pharos jumped up and gave Virtus a big hug a huge grin plastered on her face. "That's what I think. I wish we could all just get along too, then we wouldn't even have a war. Great minds, right?"
She pulled away pretty bouncy, "I'm Pharos, by the way. It's really nice to meet you and I like you too. You're really nice."

"Well it could be nice up there, if we all work on it! I think there's something out there for us, something more than fighting each other when we're all just senshi in the end! Well. Not you guys. You're knights. But we can be friends, too!"
He smiled brightly and nodded his head.
"My name is Virtus! It's very nice to meet you and I hope we can be friends, even if most of the others want to be enemies. I know we're not supposed to be nice to knights, but if you're not doing me or mine any harm then how can I justify hurting you? I guess I have trouble with that..."
Because he was a Senshi of healing and big loving hugs. It was kind of hard to subscribe to fighting of any kind when he was thinking that way. He smiled and glanced around. Sometimes he worried that he was doing something wrong, which he never did, and that someone might see him and get angry.

Pharos nodded again seeing Virtus' pointed but still unsure on it. It was a possibity she guessed, but at the same time it was a whole lot to think about. She decided it was not something one could decide in a few minutes and Virtus obviously had a lot more time to think about it.
"Of course we can be friends Virtus. You have done anything wrong to me and everyone can always use another friend, right. Glad to know you won't hurt me for no reason. I think I've had enough of that for a while."
Pharos stretched and looked up to the sky thinking about how she hadn't really gotten much done, though she had learned a bit more about the dark mirrors. She resolved to talk to Remarque again at some point about it all.
"I think I had better get going with my patrol. I'm not even have way done and I don't want to be up all night. I will see you around Virtus, okay?"

Virtus smiled and nodded his head, excited. He would have to figure out how all his friendships would work, but he loved making more and more. He was not worried about getting in trouble so much as he was worried about upsetting the people he cared about in his court. He didn't want to disappoint them.
But he didn't want to hurt people who didn't deserve it.
"okay! Good luck on your patrol! I hope you stay safe and we see each other again!" He smiled and then turned, scooting off so he could let her go about her patrol without her thinking he was following her. He knew that others had been worried about him faking being nice, but that was never the case in reality.
If they wanted to protect innocent lives he was okay with that, and he didn't think she would hurt him or any of the others.
