Acanthite sat on an air conditioning duct on the roof of a downtown office, with a pizza box open beside her. She had ambushed some poor college guy walking out by himself with the pizza, and had liberated him of some of his energy and the pizza itself. In her mercy, she had let him keep the drink, though, because sharing drinks with random guys was gross.
Fortunately the pizza had been untouched, and the dark senshi enjoyed a still-warm, plain cheese slice while she reveled in the thrill of the petty crime. She had never tried anything from Little Centurion's Pizza before, either; the free trial was more than a success, Acanthite decided.
The rest of it would be good for breakfast, and probably lunch as well, too. No way one little girl could down an entire large pizza herself in one sitting, like that smelly guy probably planned to do.

“Helloooo… Hello Helloooo… you brought My Favorite! How lovely!” The voice was clear and feminine, approaching you with that distinct feeling of Chaos energy. Except there were no people approaching you and your ‘ill gotten’ gains. There was only a petite white feline; from who’s neck hung a pearl chain and a silver Key. Her eyes were a bright green, luminous, and absolutely focused on the slice of pizza in your hand. “Classy people bring tasty things to first meetings.” The cat said sagely and licked her small nose. “Hold that right there, its perfect.” The bob tail twitched back and forth as a purr rumbled in the cats chest as she leaned in, opening her mouth to take a bite.

Acanthite had been warned about cats. But this one did not feel like an oncoming headache as it approached her. Still, though, she had yet to actually meet one of the talking variety, and it was more than strange to have one walk up to her while speaking.
"Um," she intoned as the cat invaded her personal space and sank sharp teeth into the slice of pizza in her hands. Cats were shameless (the internet had more than enough documented proof of this fact), but the slice of pizza she was holding? "Excuse me?"
Sharing drinks with strange guys she energy-drained on the street was gross. Sharing pizza with a talking cat was, somehow, slightly less gross, but Acanthite still surrendered the remainder of the slice as the bobtail awkwardly chewed the stolen bite.
"Hi?" ... It was a cute cat, at least. "You're not one of the bad cats."

The purr volume rose and fell as the cat maneuvered the first cheesy and tomato sauced bite. “ummMauummm” She replied, eyes squinted. “No, I’m one of the GOOD cats.” The tail bobbed back and forth. “I am Absinthe.” A paw touched lightly on the fluffy white chest.
“Ooouuu…Can you hold it up again? It’s hard till you get to the crust!” She nosed at it, a dab of hot sauce squeezing out onto her nose and she backed up, shaking her head and folding her ears. “Owie ow!” She pawed it off and licked the pink pads clean.
“Mmm Yes, I will keep you, you choose good pizza.” She nodded and licked her nose, waiting for the piece to be lifted for her again. “We can split it though! I don’t care –quite- so much for it cold so I’m happy to share!’
The cat smiled earnestly, really smiled.

"Oh, uh, sorry," the girl stammered, picking up the slice for the cat to eat. Then she pulled another slice for herself from the box, making a face as she awkwardly maneuvered it to her mouth to eat the sagging point before it could drip molten cheese on her plaid skirts.
"Well," she went on around bites of pizza. "I didn't pick it, to be totally honest." Acanthite's slice threatened her seifuku with tomato sauce again, and she licked the glop of it. "This poor guy did before I took it from him." She could report her accomplishment to the good cat. "Along with some of his energy."
Goodness but Absinthe was pushy. Or maybe just seemed moreso because she could talk. At least the Senshi of the Cataract could not imagine her taking too much of the pizza. She would still have plenty left over.
"Um, nice to meet you, Absinthe. I'm Acanthite."

“Ooo clever girl, mmmm thank you.” She purred.
She wolfed at the pizza till it was manageable then fumbled it into her small white paws, head butted your hand and purred.
“Are you new? You feel ‘new-ish’, at least new-ish compared to the other ones I met, the ones with the pretty drapery.” She waved the pizza she had remaining vaguely at her chest when she mentioned the drapery.
“I like the skirts.” She nodded, ears flicking forward. “And you feel nice, its good to be around senshi that feel nice.” She finished her crust, dusting small crumbs off her nose and then patted your arm with her paw.
She hesitated and then glanced up with wide green eyes.
“…One more?” She said angelically.

Acanthite made a soft unhappy sound around her mouthful of pizza at the headbutts, and leaned over the cat to grab a napkin from the box. "Hang on, I don't want to get grease and tomato sauce in your pretty fur," she offered for explanation when she had swallowed the bite of food.
Then, she sheepishly admitted, "Yeah, I'm kind of new. Not too many fights yet." Hardly any, really. The cat's words were reassuring, though, and she was more than willing to surrender another slice to Absinthe. "Thank you. I like the outfit, too. Easier to move in than some of the other clothes I've seen."
She held the new slice up, perhaps a bit out of the feline's reach for a moment and asked, "Oh, first, though, I'm new enough that I don't really know what you good talking cats can do, exactly. Can you explain? Sorry." Acanthite's grey eyes moved between the dangling pizza and the green eyes of the cat, hoping she would not get mad at holding the food momentarily hostage for a bit of information.

“When you senshi types, the good ones mind you, not the silly ones in white.” She waved a paw dismissively. “When you want to power up, you NEED us, we have the means, the technology! We are a very tec oriented people, cat people I mean.” She said sagely. “Anyhow, when you are in need of greater strength we have the ability to unlock that strength in you, doing so you will eventually become a ‘Super’ level senshi, and then finally a ‘eternal’ level senshi. Sometimes, VERY rarely a person will become a prince or a princess, but that’s a pretty dire thing normally.” She waved her paw like a tiny furry teacher, explaining to a very young student. “So its always good to be friends with a ‘talking cat’” she made paw air quotes, “Because we’re in charge of making sure you don’t become a pancake when it counts most! Also I can shoot energy out of my star here, sadly not a trick that we can teach to senshi sorry.”

"Okay then," Acanthite replied with a nod. It was about as much as she could say to the news that there was apparently a whole race of talking cat people. Reassuring that this one could help make her stronger.
"Super and eternal, those are the same as the white senshi, though, right?" The auburn-haired girl took another bite of pizza and chewed it, then asked around a partial mouthful, "When do I get to be 'lieutenant' or whatever, like everyone else?" The fundamental difference between herself and the others was tangible in their energy signatures, but of course the feeling of energy offered no explanations. The Senshi of the Cataract thought she was one of the soldiers of the negaverse in the war, though, and was still not completely sure of if she would get a title to match.
She swallowed the bite of pizza then added as another, different thought occurred to her, "Oh, and are there bad cats, too?" Then she took another larger bite and worked on that while she awaited the cat's reply.

“Oh yes, but since there are bad senshi that really shouldn’t be a surprise, I’m sure they are just misguided like the senshi, but really it might be where they wake up too, I mean we just…well yes.” She waved a paw not really continuing the explanation. “But we have good people who can…enlighten them!” She nodded. “But, the ranks among senshi are the same, here are ummm… Assended senshi in the Negaverse, but they have truly proved their loyalty. Honestly I feel a little less close to them, but honestly I feel less close to the idea of that, I like senshi. I think its in our nature… or maybe just mine.” She shrugged as best as one could with furry shoulders. "More questions!"

Acanthite nodded eagerly, then looked to her current slice of pizza again with less eagerness. It was all starting to settle in her stomach, leaving her uncertain if she could finish any more.
But she kept her attention on the cat, taking in the information. At mention of loyalty, however, the Senshi of the Cataract opened her mouth to protest. "Was my awakening only the first test then? So I'm different from the others, but that's not bad, is it? I want to help, and trust me, I have zero interest in changing sides."
She mulled over that idea for a long moment, frowning and pouting ever so slightly - her, disloyal!? Acanthite had volunteered for this. Maybe she just needed more time to show her allies that she could contribute in spite of being a senshi. Or rather because of it.
Oh, questions? "Uh, do you want the rest of the pizza? I'm starting to feel fat and I'm not going to finish this piece, if you want it."
