Perched atop the observatory, Medea watched the stars. Then she watched the woman with pink curlers in her hair scream at her yorkie for making her husband leave her. Then she watched the stars. The stars would never hurt her. They would just twinkle and sparkle like pretty jewels. Medea liked jewels. Jewels made her smile. Why didn't anyone by her jewelry for her birthday?
She frowned.
Did people not know or love her enough to buy jewels for her birthday?
How sad. Her eyes lowered to the streets again. The screaming lady turned the corner. She would probably go far away to her husband, who bought her jewels for her birthday, or at least the fake kind that still sparkled and shimmered even if they weren't real.
Medea felt so wrapped up in her melancholy, she didn't even notice the approaching signature.Songstress Kitsune Hey! Let me know if this is okay! c:

Natron had chosen to come to the observatory because he missed quiet contemplation of the stars. However, in the end it made him angry, frustrated - because he could only think of his father, who had decided that it was more important to teach him some stupid lesson and push him to college than to care for him, and so had made it clear he was to pack his things and get out.
Thinking of his family only pissed him off, but he had to force himself to calm down when he felt a White Moon energy signature. It would do him no good to get into a fight on the observatory roof. He was a member of the Information division, anyway - he could try and extract some information. So he teleported up and then sat down.
"Watching the stars?"

"WHOAHEYTHERE." Medea scooted back and exhaled as she clutched her chest. Might as well be blunt. "Hi. Sorry...about that." She smiled. "Yeah! I haven't done this since I was a kid, so..." She turned to the stars. "I figured it might be nice to come back and recollect." She faced him. "What about you?"
She scooched closer to him and stared DEEP DEEP DEEP into his eyes.
"I hate to ask this, but are you one of those people who'll try to kill me or what? Because I'm having a really bad week, and if you are, can we not do this now? I'd rather finish Princess Diaries II before I put my life on the line."
She leaned back and sighed.
God, she felt tired.

Natron was actually kind of amused by her surprised reaction. It was probably wrong of him to chuckle at her jumping, or at how she seemed to be afraid of him - even if her staring into his eyes was making him a little bit uncomfortable. He laughed anyway.
"Not tonight, no." He said. "You'll live to see your movie another day." Perhaps some other time he'd put the fear of Chaos in her; tonight he was, oddly, more in the mood to talk. There was something calming about stargazing, even if it did come with a thick sludge of bad, or at least sad, memories.
"Captain Natron." He introduced himself, before laying back with his hands behind his head. "Come here often?"

Medea chuckled and leaned back. When did friendship become so binary: Either you're out to kill or you're not, and if you are, then you're my friend, but if not, then we can never be friends. She smiled at Natron. "My name's Medea. I'm the Senshi of Enchantment." She smirked. "But you better watch out! Because, uh, my magic makes people shine!" She wiggled her fingers. "Oooh. Scary."
Sliver of moon shone from the navy sky, casting silver the trees and windows and stumbling passersby.
"It's been a while." The breeze whistled softly. "What about you?"

"Oh no, I'm not sure how I'd survive sparkling," Natron said, his tone dry. He did flash her a smile though. All of that was excellent knowledge - did she realize that she'd just handed over everything a good IntO needed? Did it matter? (No.)
He shrugged. "I stargaze often enough, but not here." His father was here too often, and he didn't want to be put in the position where he was warring with himself over the idea of doing harm to his own father no matter how bitter he was towards the man. But he knew his work schedule; tonight was a night off.

Ah, what a lovely, reassuring grin. She laughed. "Surely, sparkling would make you run for the hills." She glanced at the stars. "You can say you've made acquaintance with the most destructive, dazzling Senshi of all." Did they stars watch them too? "Then your officers will love you forever..."
She frowned. She couldn't tell: Did she grow closer to Chaos or farther away? What about Natron? Or Buddy? It seemed the more agents she befriended, the more scorn she received, but for them it seemed casual--even encouraged!
"That's what you want right?" She laughed softly. "Their respect?" She sighed. "I'd like respect. Someday. Maybe." She rolled onto her side and faced him. "Are you respected, my captain?"

Natron chuckled. "Would they? I'm not sure, knowing some of them. But maybe." Making friends with Senshi wasn't exactly admirable, but then, he was really just here to milk her for information. It was his job to cozy up a little if he had to, and if he ended up enlightening a few on the way - well, that was just gravy.
His eyes narrowed for a moment, when her query hit a little too close to home. "I'd like to hope they respect me," he said, "though I'll take not being a disappointment." Even though he'd completed his punishment and Zink seemed far happier with him these days, the sting of his General-King's disapproval still lingered.

"I think--" The stars seemed so bright. Bright enough to blind her--to fill her up with light. "--that we should be friends." She nodded. "It couldn't hurt right? It's not like we're crossing lines. It's just a way for us to survive." She needed meat shields, but also friends. One to protect her from physical harm. One to protect her from psychological harm, though one might argue that the delusion bubble of perfection in which she thrived protected her sufficiently. "It's not I'm evil or anything, I was thrown into the war, and maybe I just don't feel like quitting. Does that really make me bad?"
She actually needed that answer. Buddy left her...confused. Was she bad for killing youma? For powering up? Was he just as bad, or perhaps a better person, for following the orders? Those terrible, awful orders.
She didn't know.
Maybe Natron knew! He seemed pretty bright, helpful, friendly.
She smiled.

Natron blinked slowly. "I'm a captain in an enemy army. Maybe a General, soon. And you want to be -" He sighed, and then he started laughing. "Sure, let's be friends." She was crazy, naiive, and oddly, he wanted to protect her from the harsh edges of this war. Anyone who thought being friends with the enemy needed to be protected. "I don't think most of you Senshi are evil." He exhaled. "I do think that Order, as a whole, might be."
"You don't want to hear my theories." That was true. He'd begun to think that Senshi and Knights were sleeper agents, of sorts - that one day those planetary princesses would return, and drag Order into a repeat of the last war, and that not all of them would go because they wanted to. It was crazy - but it made sense to him.

Medea laughed. "Yay!" She brought him into a tight hug. "You make me happy!" She snickered and pulled away. "Ooh, most of us you say?" She smiled. "Is all of the evil concentrated at the top, then?" Those princesses. She hadn't met one yet. She hadn't met any royalty. Mostly she dreamt of flowing ballgowns and throne rooms and golden crowns, but Senshi princesses?
Hmm.
She didn't have a clue.
"Give me your theories!" She nodded, looking at him very intently. "Please! I want to know things too!"

Natron blinked, and then very awkwardly hugged Medea back. "Uh, I'm glad," he said, and then his expression slowly shifted into a real smile, because he was. "Well, you could say that..."
He sighed softly. "I think that maybe not all Senshi were evil, but the ones at the head of what was called the Silver Millennium, a thousand years ago - they were. You see, this whole war started because the Princess of the Moon selfishly pursued the Prince of Earth and stole him away from his people, in an attempt to give the Moon power over the Earth Kingdom." He paused. "I know, it sounds crazy - but it's true. The people of Earth revolted, and Chaos helped fuel them." He frowned a little. "Have you seen a youma? They exist because of the Moon Queen."

Awwww. Natron, was that a grin? Medea giggled. "Cuuuute." Her smile faded. She glanced away. "Yeah..." She curled into a fetal position. "...One of your colleagues caught me up..." She sighed and burrowed deeper into her tiny ball. "I don't know Natron! The whole thing makes me sad!" She shuddered. Cold cold cold. Winter made its way. "I don't wanna fight. We should just watch stupid movies and hold peace talks or Olympics."
She met his gaze.
"Hey." She gripped his shoulders. "Do you think I'll hurt you just because of my faction?" She frowned. "I would never turn you into a youma okay?" She pulled him back and forward with each word: "Even if the big bad moon queen forced me to!" She laughed and released. "I would protect you."

Natron frowned a little, and then he shook his head. "I don't think you'd want to," he said, "I mean...I don't think most of you would want to, even." There were some he wouldn't put it past. "But I don't think you'll have a choice, Medea. Tyrants never give a choice."
He sighed heavily. "I just hope that if the time comes, enough of you say no." He didn't want to watch the Earth fall under the tyrannical rule of some psychotic Moon Princess and her brainwashed boyfriend.

Medea pouted and stared deeeeep into his eyes. "Hey. There's always a choice." She nodded--unaware of what awaited her in the woods or on the train tracks or at an upcoming convention, oblivious to the forces working against them. "Always." She laughed and rolled onto her back. "Who do you think will win?" She stretched. "Not who you want, but who you think."
She grinned.
Natron wasn't evil...Just...on the other team. He would never hurt or call her weak or mess up her hair. He only wanted companionship! Yes! Surely, that's why he joined the Negaverse or else he would have joined her court! Yes! That logic! She would give him a reason to join...She would become his friend! Gladly! Happily!
She stretched and curled into a little ball, on her side, watching the breeze in his hair, trapped in her delusion.
