Welcome to Gaia! ::

It had been a slow few weeks patrolling since running into Sphalerite.

Epis didn't mind quiet - although it made intelligence difficult, at least, in her mind, she did find it didn't make Albert panic as severely, and Elpis slowly slid along her route at an almost bored pace. Safe was well and good but she didn't want to feel idle. She wanted to feel productive, even a little, and she moved along out of sight for the only thrill patrol shot her way - sneaking. Today, this included some clubs that often had concerts she enjoyed n her route, and while she didn't know any bands for the night nor DJs, it didn't hurt to sneak close to listen, grinning a bit to herself as she slightly (read: mostly) let her guard down to press her ear to a door, and listen, senses only ocasionally pricking around for the feeling of Chaos.

Some things were more important. Like, say... Music.

Epis had hidden at first hearing someone but the draw of a chaos aura drew the basic senshi out, and she began walking towards the feeling with a feeling of irritated, delighted disappointment and relief at her ow enjoyment of the music being interrupted, and she tried making as ittle noise as possible creeping close, raising a brow before playing the concerned cosplayer, hopng that the cops wouldn't be called, blinking,

Another sensh? For a moment, she wasn't sure what to think, but the feeling of Chaos reminded her of the last opponent she'd had - and she eyed the gaps in the other senshi with caution, but otherwise drew not attention that the civilian might notice, instead managing to frown.

And why was the other gir sobbing?

"Hey, is something wrong?" She finally asked. Concern wasn't really faked - that was real, mostly for what she might've walked in on, but she didn't immediately jump to attack. This could turn into a hostage situation - and she had no idea how to manage that kind of thing. Or. Who to call, really.

"What's with the crying?"

It managed to mask the unsaid 'if you made her cry I will be forced to do punchy things' at least.

Elpis gave the civilian a completely sympathetic look first.

"Sweetie, if some boy cheated, you are so in the right to kick his a** for all of the hurt, okay?" She moved near, and regarded the other senshi's threat display calmly before looking entirely unamused. Did she not realize this poor civilian was hurting?

Who knew, though Elpis nodded calmly, managing not to snort in amusement at the attempt to scare her off.

"Elpis." She said calmly. She left 'Sailor' or 'Senshi of Metal' out, mostly for the poor distressed civilian's benefit, but didn't move to attack. It was better to see what this one did first.

"And you?"

One hand reached and gently rubbed the distressed girls' shoulder, humming softly.

The brunette nodded, giving the girl one more sympathetic shoulder pat before moing for a quieter location.

This was, in fairness, preferable to being attacked, and in this instance she managed to start mentally taking notes s she walked towards a quieter area, before taking a deep breath. The girl didn't seem more than a puffing cat, but Elpis wasn't confident she wouldn't attack. Still, attacking immediately wouldn't do. Not unless kids were involved. Elpis had a priority until Coffinite was caught. Still, once alone, Elpis turned to Acanthite and crossed her arms idly, nodding.

"So you're another chaos-senshi?" She said curiously.

Elpis shrugged.

"So do I - different ways I suppose." She gave a half-grin. "I doubt I'd join you. Can't - not really. Not in good concience, but some of the Negaverse seem decent folk stuck in a shitty war."

Did they belong? Not in her opinion. Some were - like Coffinite. Mad and willing to harm children to get their way and that was NOT okay. However, she looked upp, musing.

"Elpis? Not yet. Didn't know we could. Sounds worth figuring out now, though. What about you?"

She looked to Acanthite curiously. "Ever see yours?"

Did she have one? Were corrupt senshi - like them?

A million questions buzzed in her head, but how truthful the answers would be - Elpis didn't know.

Care?

Elpis highly doubted the Negaverse used much tender loving care with senshi, just based on the fact one essentially sent a civilian out a window - if Quartz hadn't told her how to protect herself, she'd have landed in far worse shape. Admittedly, awakening a month later had been a creative experience and she stillwondered if she was furious at the fact or delighted some days. Today, she decided, like many, it didn't matter, though Acanthite was circling and Elpis looked non-phased.

"Eh, it's space. I'm wondering if there won't be a bunch of rocks and maybe a crumbling old building in another rock somewhere." She shrugged, then tilted her head and shrugged.

"I personally have a problem with most Negaverse higher ups myself and don't like being considered an alien. Plus assorted other reasons."

Like.... Daddy. He was, in her mind, the best reason not to corrupt. Elpis loed Kells - always been a Daddy's Girl - and she wasn't abut to risk him getting attacked on patrol because she attracted Senshi of the creepy sort.

With holes.

...Yeah, she was never leaving the faction she was on. She managed not to mentally squick however.

"That said, you really can't get there, huh? What would you do with your world?"
