Welcome to Gaia! ::

Too long. It had been too long since she made this trip, and she was determined to make it an eventful one. Ever since those nightmares started, Eternal Sailor Tsui felt the compulsion to leave Earth grow and grow, and when the last fleeting images had hit her mind, Tsui knew that something had to be done.

She wasn't sure what, exactly, but it was never in the Tiger senshi's nature to go into such matters with a plan. Plans were for Ida, or Athene, or Liryn to come up with. Fighting was Tsui's specialty, or at least it was, until something had happened in the future that killed that fighting spirit entirely. Somewhere in the back of her mind was that image, that pitiful image of a terribly maimed senshi decked in Tiger fur and scars remained, and worst yet was that other image. The one that... hurt her too much to even try and think about. So much that she denied to see her, denied to even call her, and now, was practically leaving the planet to flee from it.

"It won't happen, because I won't allow it!" Tsui said aloud to her companion. She thought about contacting Ida or Athene, even Chaonis, despite the memories of his corruption, but she ultimately called on Liryn to join her tonight. Why? He always expressed his interest in seeing other homeworlds, and she knew that he must have felt some kind of lingering guilt from seeing his team torn apart. If she could offer him some solace, it would have been to accompany her to Tsui, home of the Tigers. Speaking of the feline, she looked over towards him and knelt down, offering her shoulder for him to jump onto. "You ready to see some REAL cats, Liryn, or are you too chicken? I'm warning you, they're pretty big!"

It was good to see genuine enthusiasm in others, even if it came out of a fuzzy little feline. Tsui's sphere may have been tigers, but she adored cats and pretty much every animal she had come across, so long as they weren't youma. Cats were especially high on Tsui's list, and Liryn was about the highest a cat could go. He was more than a Mauvian- he was the PSSG's Mauvian and a valued teammate, and he deserved nothing more than the utmost respect!

She welcomed his brush and steadied herself when he jumped onto her shoulders, standing straight and getting her cellphone ready for the trip. At Liryn's admittance, she gave a friendly chuckle and offered him an intimate scratch behind the ears as she made her own confession. "Well, these tigers are a little different. They're more... well, you'll see when we get there. They won't hurt you, trust me, but they're nothing like you've seen on TV or in books. You can count on that! Now hold on tight!"

That last bit wasn't entirely necessary, but she figured she'd give him a warning, just in case. She never transported to her homeworld with such a small passenger, but she was certain that everything would be alright. Without further ado, she rose her cellphone into the air and concentrated. In what felt like the quickest second imaginable, the scenery of the city had morphed around them, as the concrete jungle changed into a more natural and thick jungle. They transported at the same place that Tsui always found herself, on the hill just beyond the temple. It had seen better days, but there was nothing a little elbow grease and vine trimming wouldn't fix. She wasn't sure how the trip was for Liryn, but she was happy to see him there on her shoulders still as she extended an arm out to wave to the scenery around them. "And welcome to Tsui, home of various plant lives, a creepy temple, and kick-a** astral tigers! Speaking of, I wonder where they're hiding this time..."
