The last of the skater boys trailed out of the park. Medea leapt from an overarching elm to play with one of the abandoned boards. Stroked with tangerine and magenta, it stood along the chain-link fence surrounding the park. Medea set her foot upon it, pushing it forward. Her knee quaked. Maybe she could just...Gripping the fence, she slowly made her way onto the board. It slid back and forth. "SQUEE." She flailed. The board drifted forward and she leaned back, hitting the pavement.
"UGHH."
She looked to the yellow sky.
"CLOUDS DO YOU UNDERSTAND MY PAIN?"

Persephone wasn't a fan of parks, not really. She'd had too many bad things happen to her in them. But then, she could sense a friendly aura, and she definitely needed more friends. So she picked up her pace, jogging to the skate park just in time to see a senshi screaming at the sky.
"I don't know if they do, but I am very familiar with the pain of falling on your butt."

Medea zipped to the new Senshi. "You watched me? How embarrassing!" Green hair. Interesting. Toga. Interesting. She quickly circled around the girl. "My name's Medea. I enchant things." When she returned to Persephone's front, she lifted her bangs. No holes. "Swaggu." But Medea suddenly looked concerned. Did the Senshi grow fruit in her hair? "Are those edible?" She pointed to the pomegranates. "They look pretty nom, and I'm HONGRY."
She frowned.
"Maybe it's because I'm weak like a sickly kitten." She brought the back of her hand to her forehead and stared sadly at the trees. "And maybe you are strong like a brilliant diamond of noms." She suddenly leaned so close her nose almost touched the newcomer's. "Will you teach me--" Her pupils shrank. "--THE WAAAAY?"
Obviously she still felt on edge from her last battle.

Persephone stood still for Medea's inspection, and then she actually started giggling out loud when the girl lifted up her bangs. "Making sure I'm not a corrupt? Protip, the Chaos version is always black." She put her hands on her hips. "Not edible, as far as I know. I'm Persephone. Pomegranates are my thing."
Her expression became sympathetic. "Oh sweetie, I know that feel so well. I'm not very strong myself, honestly - I'm all healing." But Tsui had helped her when she first started out, and it was time to pay it forward, wasn't it? "We can spar, if you want. Throw some punches and kicks. A little practice against someone who's not trying to rip out your starseed or throw you through a mirror."

Medea drew back with a giaaaant grin. Yesssss. Sparinnnnng. She loved sparring. Sparring would teach her how to destroy the evil agents who sought her deadly destruction of death. Yes! Yes! And Persephone--QUEEN OF THE UNDERWHIRLED--would teach her!
She chuckled. "I would love to spar!"
She dashed around Persephone and poked her all over her shoulders.
"Pokepokepokepokepoke." She popped her head over the Senshi's shoulder. "Try and hit me!"
She sped toward the skateboard. If she reached it, she would enchant it as a distraction, and at least heading in the opposite direction gave Persephone some range if needed.

Pespehone had to appreciate Medea's almost mad enthusiasm. "You want it? Here it comes!" She said, and then she cupped her hands in front of her and murmured softly, to herself, "Pomegranate Kiss!" Three seeds made of energy appeared, and she popped one into her mouth, then tossed the other two aside. They vanished as soon as they hit the ground, but it didn't matter - her new burst of energy meant that she was running at Medea, fist pulled back to strike. She wasn't putting all her strength behind it, and she swung for the girl's stomach, hoping that she wouldn't do too much injury.Persephone's Basic Attack! Sailor Scout Attack: Pomegranate Kiss! Persephone speaks the name of the attack and holds out her cupped hands, in which three pomegranate seeds of energy appear. If she or an ally "consume" these, they will experience a small boost in energy, feeling more alert and with slightly increased reflexes, lasting about twenty seconds. One seed is sufficient for the boost to occur. She can summon these once per battle. The seeds will vanish after thirty seconds if not dropped or eaten.

FOOMP.
Medea flew back with the punch and tumbled upon landing. Ah man. She scraped her arms as usual, bloodying her fuku as usual. Her eyes wet with tears she gave a giant smile. "YOU HIT ME!" Even though her mouth looked OVERJOYED her eyes looked MISERABLE. "GOOD JOB!"
She stood and grabbed the skateboard.
"Alluring Enchantment!"
It glowed pink and she pointed at Persephone. She could use the skateboard as a shield OR she could jab it into her stomach.
Medea's eyes lit up and she dashed forward, the skateboard poised to cram into Persephone's abdomen.Songstress Kitsune MEDEA LOVES PERSEPHONE PROMISE <3 Alluring Enchantment! Medea's hands glow pink. Any one object she touches during this period is so attractive to one target that he or she has difficulty looking away from it, but can with great concentration. The selected object retains a pink glow. Selected objects include inanimate objects only. She cannot enchant the ground or sky. She can enchant clothing, including fukus. Medea then selects targets by pointing in the target's direction while her hands glow, after which her hands cease to glow. She can only select one target per enchantment. Even if the object is apprehended by its target, he or she will feel the urge to look at it. The enchantment vanishes after 20 seconds or if Medea powers down or faints. Duration: 20 seconds; One target and one object once per battle.

Persephone frowned. She was suddenly worried - maybe she'd hit Medea a little harder than she actually meant to. Girl was clearly a little crazy.
"I did, yeah..." And then suddenly her eyes were drawn to the skateboard, and they locked there. She tried to look away, but she couldn't - it was just...too distracting...she wanted to stare at it...
And then she took a skateboard to the abdomen and went tumbling herself.

"Oh nooo." Medea set aside the skateboard to help Persephone up. "Oh nooo! I am so sorry!" She did feel bad. Kind of. Persephone made her feel bad first though! No! Persephone was her friend! And she treated friends with kindness.
"Are you okay? Do you need a band-aid?" She frowned.
She hoped her friend would be alright.
"I really am sorry, you know."

Persephone took Medea's hand, standing up and brushing herself off. "No, no, stop apologizing, that was great!" She said, her eyes bright. "If I could do something like that - hold someone's attention - I might not have gotten kicked around so bad when I was a newbie."
She grinned slightly. "If you'd rather not actually smack each other around, though, we can do some basic punches and blocks?"

Oh man. Oh man. Persephone seemed to like it?! Hopefully her eyes weren't bright from tears. That would suck. And she actually thought Medea's power was...great?! What was this witchery?!
"Thank you!" She brought her friend into a hug. "Persephone you are so cool! Teach me fighting things! I wanna learnnn!"
She pulled back.
"How does a punch work?"

Persephone squeezed Medea, laughing. "There are better teachers than me, but I'll do my best." This was how she could repay Tsui for all her help, right?
"Okay, so you curl your hand into a fist, like this," she demonstrated, "and then you pull your arm back, and you swing." She turned away from Medea to demonstrate the actual swing. "Aim for the chest, or the stomach; it's the center mass and you have more to hit there."

Medea nodded and curled her hand into the fist. She swung forward. KA-BLAM. KA-POW. BOOM SHAKA LAKA. Yes. She would become a total pro. She looked to Persephone for approval.
"YES MEBBE?"
She playfully punched her mentor in the shoulder--gentle as a spring mist.

Perspeohne nodded. "That's good!" She said, and then he held up her hands in front of her. "Here, punch into my palms, and I'll judge your force?" She proposed.
This was actually going pretty good!

"SWEET." She looked at her palms. The energy hummed through her veins. "The force." She punched Persephone's palms. "Is with me!"
She hoped this was okay. Was this okay? She didn't want to hurt her mentor again.
