Welcome to Gaia! ::

Fortuna walked into the mostly empty park, it was late enough that most people had gone home, but Remarque had said there were a few homeless people out and about at this time, or people up to no good. She walked softly through the night, a slight breeze rustled her clothing and blew through her hair. It was peaceful, serene, and cool enough to still be pleasant out.

With a sigh Fortuna fished out the shard of mirror that she was supposed to use to collect energy for mirror space and examined it. She had been warned that they had been acting up lately and so she was hesitant to use it, but she needed to be of some use to the Dark Mirror Court, so she could at least start with something as simple as energy grabbing.

Soon she spotted a victim, some drifter vagabond sleeping under a park bench. It seemed simple enough so she concentrated and drew her solitary mirror wraith out of the shard and commanded it to collect energy.

It slowly bobbed towards the sleeping victim, the pace set her teeth on edge but she had to wait it out. Finally the wraith made a pass through the sleeping man causing a grown to escape from his lips. It then started to make a second pass through him while Fortuna watched in fascination.

Fortuna was startled by a voice behind her, she chastized herself for not paying attention and letting the senshi sneak up on her. She slowly turned around the shard in one hand and observed the girl in front of her. Fortunately she didn't seem to be too strong so Fortuna felt that she could handle it without calling Remarque for back up.

With a quiet command she ordered the mirror wraith back into it's shard. It came over to her and hovered by her shoulder as if contimplating the order. Then it slowly started to drift towards the white moon senshi. Fortuna frowned, she had heard they were acting up but she had hoped she could keep hers under control.

"Get back here now!" she exclaimed firmly, Remarque had said the white moon senshi were misguided and didn't know they were in the wrong, and if she could avoid confrontation she would rather that. The girl didn't seem much more confident than she felt so perhaps they were both new at this.

"I'm collecting energy, what are you doing?" she questioned casually, as if that tone would belittle her actions in the mind of the senshi.

"I'm trying..." Fortuna responded in a slightly disgruntled voice, the mirror wraith seemed not to care one bit about Fortuna's commands and was headed towards the much stronger pool of energy that resided within the senshi.

"Let's just say its part of my job description." Fortuna responded to her initial question, but narrowed her eyes at the threat. She didn't take kindly to it, and what Remarque had said about the white moon senshi was probably true, it was certainly being reinforced here.

Fortuna made another attempt to command the mirror wraith but it still flew steadily closer to the senshi, pulsating to the beat of her heart.

Fortuna grinned. "Oh am I making you angry? Or my little friend here?" She questioned suddenly finding this all very amusing. By her retreat from the Mirror Wraith she betrayed that she was afraid of it, and her bravado all sounded very forced.

The mirror wraith continued to draw closer, reaching a tendril out towards the girl as if to reach through her chest and touch her heart.

"Do you really think you could hit through an incorporeal being? You might as well be trying to fend off smoke." Fortuna mused as she watched the girl, with her arms crossed in front of her chest and a amused grin on her lips.

Fortuna was shocked for a moment that the girl was actually attacking her so she didn't move out of the way in time. As the smoke hit her she felt her shock turn into indignation, followed by rage.

She thought for a few moments of all the things in her life that angered her and she held against people. Images of her brother's death from a drunk driver, and then her father flashed through her mind as she became increasingly more angry before something inside her finally snapped.

"How Dare you attack me!" She shouted before she lunged at the girl with a wild swing, all of her training and practices apparently forgotten in her blind rage and desire to squish the senshi's smug little face with her fist. In this state there was no guarantee that she would make contact, but not for lack of trying.

The mirror wraith was also moving behind the senshi so that if she backed up too much she could pass right through it.

Once the mirror wraith had the girl fall on top of it it pulsed briefly before it zipped back into the mirror shard, apparently having gotten enough energy from the senshi. 'They must have more energy than normal humans.' Fortuna thought absently as she shook her head to clear it of the thoughts of anger and resentment, at least of the ones she couldn't address now, like the senshi attacking her without real provocation.

Fortuna never really liked fighting a person when they were down, at least not unless she put them there and so she stood back in a fighting stance waiting for the girl to rise so that she could make her pay for attacking her.

Fortuna vaguely remembered Remarque telling her that she also had magic that she could call upon, but she wasn't really sure how she was supposed to use it, and she always preferred to do something herself, not relying on others or magic to help her.

"Thank you for feeding my little friend, your contribution is appreciated." Fortuna remarked flippantly as she glared at the girl, waiting for her to attack again and really give her a reason to beat her down.
