Hyperborea had followed her usually routine of sneaking out to patrol after her parents went to bed. It didn't take her long in her patrol to run across a youma. After a bit of a fight she'd managed to dust it but it left her kinda worn out. So she looked around and noticed a bench. It wasn't well lit but that was ok Hyperborea just needed a bit of rest and then she would get back on patrol.
As she sat down however she felt something soft and fuzzy beneath her and she heard a noise of protest from under her. She jumped up. She saw that she had accidently sat on a black cat.
"Je suis désolé! I'm sorry Monsieur kitty. I didn't realize you were sleeping here." Hyperborea crouched down to look at the cat, it was a strange kitty with a star shaped mark on it's head. Strickenized Here's a start let me know if I need to change anything

The night was long, and the day well spent with Faust having been outside patrolling for the brunt of it. His housemate busied himself with his own affairs, and Faust's duties never rested when he did, so it seemed almost natural that the cat drift away from senshi partner for a while. Sadly, the guardian found himself empty-handed at the end of the day, with no new senshi added to their ranks and none met on his travels. Faust found days like these tolerable in small doses, but they wore him down considerably.
Faust knew he should return home about now and see if his companion was interested in patrols, but the large feline's legs felt weary with the day of walking. He found a bench among the low-hanging park trees, spaced curiously far from the nearest street lamp, but he found the spot amicable enough. He leapt to the slatted bench, his paws thumping softly on the wood while he paced for a proper position to curl into. And once both paws clamped over his eyes, Faust slipped into a light catnap.
Until someone's a** happened to intrude on his space.
Immediately the cat woke with a start, limbs flailing while he yowled out his protests. Once his wits came about him, he recognized the girl for the quiet auric energy she possessed, and Faust quickly scrambled to a seated position.
This one was a page, if he wasn't mistaken.
"Yo! What the hell, lady! You don't just go sittin' on a Guardian Cat just 'cuz they look damn fluffy! I know my fur looks perfect, but it ain't made fo' yo' a**!" His ears flatted with a huff. "Well, I guess I can let you pet me if you're nice about it. What brings you out here, anyway? Lookin' for youma to kill? I can help you if that's where the action's at. Not like I got much else to do about now..." Beyond returning home, and sitting on Quenton's face.

"A talking kitty! You must be a Mauvian!" Hyperborea exclaimed and then she puffeed out her cheeks a bit in annoyance. "And a rude Mauvian at that, I apologized already. If I had seen you there I wouldn't sat down but you kind of blend into the darkness." But even as she was annoyed she still took his offer and started gently petting him. She couldn't help it he was so cute and fluffy even if he seem to have an attitude.
"I'm just on patrol like usual. As for youma I just dusted the only one I felt in the area so we'd have to go looking for one if you want to fight youma. Though can a cat really even fight youma, I'm not sure scratching them would do much. Or do you Mauvian had magic powers as well." She asked as she continued petting him. She was very curious to meet a guardian cat and even if their introduction wasn't the best this was her chance to learn more about them.

"Damn straight Imma Mauvian!" Faust declared proudly, puffing his chest out. The admonishment afterward caused him to flat his ears, but the pettings in spite of his transgressions eased the cat. "And uh, sorry 'bout the outburst. I ain't too keen on the whole wakin' up part of sleepin'. Hell, half the reason I chose this bench was because youma would probably walk right on by without seein' me there. I thought it was pretty clever." Faust leaned into the pets squeezed his eyes shut; inwardly he hoped she was as much of a cat fan as Thraen, and would find all offenses instantly forgivable by a display of cuteness.
At the question of youma, Faust snapped one eye open. "'Course we can fight youma! Luckily we ain't just made to drop henshin pens in everyone's laps. And for those of us that are less capable in the claw department, we've got this cool little beam that we shoot out of out stars and it does a pretty damn good job of stunnin' s**t. Then it's just the matter of havin' a senshi or knight finish it off. It's kinda tiresome to use the beam, you see." Thinking about it brought him to the instances between both Aegir and Thraen where he'd needed to make use of the magic.
"Hey, you ever met one of us before? Or are you new to the whole talkin' cat thing? I dunno if you met Ash or Snowball or some o' the others."

Hyperborea took a seat next to the mauvian and continued petting him. "I guess thats understandable, my Papa is like that. He's a complete bear in the morning until he has his coffee. I'm sorry I got mad, lets start again. I'm Hyperborea of Cosmos. Its a pleasure to meet you Monsieur Mauvian." Hyperborea gave the space kitty a friendly smile.
"Wow so you guys are tough and cute. Thats so cool." If only they came in puppy form too then they'd be perfect. Hyperborea thought with a smile. She was glad these kitties had a way to defend themselves if they got into danger.
"Nope your the first one I've run into. Though I did hear about you guys from Camelot and Ida." Hyperborea responded as she gently scratched the black cat behind his ears.

"Nice to meet'cha. Name's Faust. I'mma call you Hype if that's alright." Hyperborea... Where did they come up with these names? Anything over two syllables was too much to recite in battle - how the hell were they gonna get each other's attention before they got smacked down by some Chaos agent? And this one didn't look like she had much in the way of battle-ready clothes, either - it looked more like she belonged on a dance floor than a battlefield.
"Sheeit, we ain't jus' tough 'n' cute. We're the ones that give people the power to be a senshi, and we're the ones that upgrade those senshi, and we make 'em phones, and we can dampen their energy signature so no one feels 'em comin'. We're some damn fine cats, if I say so myself." Faust stood and stretched, long muscles straining hard enough for the fur to quiver slightly outside of a breeze. It felt much-needed after a long nap, and the Mauvian sighed afterward.
"Ooh, I met Camelot once. He told me 'bout purification, an' how it works for your side. I should go visit him again; he's a pretty cool guy." Eyes closed while Faust leaned into the scratches. "So how're you gettin' along in this whole powered life gig? Thraen an' I - Thraen's my senshi partner - are tryin' to make sure people get a good start when they first get to this life. An' I dunno how long you been around, I don't wanna make any assumptions on how well you're doin' or anything, but we're here to help so you ain't left out in the cold. If you need some combat tips, you come talk to me. An' I'm pretty sure Thraen's good with most of your knowledge needs.
"He also founded this coalition thing called the Blackwatch. They' supposed to help with food and shelter if you need it, an' set up outposts so if you're hurt, you got somewhere to go to get fixed up. There's more to it than that, but I think that's the most that matters at the moment."

"It's a pleasure Faust and you may call me Hype if you prefer." She didn't really feel he needed to ask, she tended to shorten people's powered names if they were hard for her to say. Then again maybe she should start asking too, maybe it was rude to just assume she could shorten their names like that.
"Oh wow I had heard about the giving power to senshi and the phone things but I didn't know you could hide a senshi's aura, thats so cool. I bet you guys really come in handy. I wish knights had guardians like you guys." She thought about Camelot's dragon and how he said other knights most likely had similar creatures. But they couldn't talk or do the kinds of things guardian cats could, at least not as far as Hyperborea knew.
"Oh I met Thraen once, he told me about Blackwatch. He was nice, a little strange but nice." She said honestly. "I've been doing pretty well, I had some rough spots but I think I'm starting to get the hang of things. I'll definitaely listen to any combat advice you have, I can always stand to learn more."

"'Course we come in handy. Without us, the senshi wouldn't even exist. Hell, they're lucky we don't ask to be treated like royalty." Mauvians deserved it, as far as Faust figured. And Thraen played butler to him well enough; Faust considered himself pretty taken care of in that respect. Other cats might not be so lucky.
Faust considered what she said for a moment, then frowned. "Wait a sec, you guys don't got guardians? Then how do you become knights?" That's right - last time he talked to Camelot, he learned of his method of purification. Few questions were spared toward knights in general, and Faust had assumed that some other furry creature awakened them to their potential. "I mean, you can't just pop up into existence all on your own, right? That'd be kinda weird. Senshi could get jealous over that s**t." Or, really, just Faust.
"Yeah, 'bout Thraen... Dude's got a few screws loose. He always did, but now he just seems weirder since his boyfriend died. Good riddance there, we found out the boyfriend was a Negaverse general, but I don't think Thraen took it well." The bouts of wetness when Quenton submerged his face into Faust's flank seemed fairly evident of that. Luckily they came fewer and farther between now.
"And about combat... First I'mma say, don't worry 'bout fightin' dirty. You go for the eyes, the throat, punch 'em in the balls, do whatever it takes. Ain't nothin' off limits when it comes to protectin' your own life. And second, don't be afraid to call for help. Or run away. Better to live through it and come back later than have your a** handed to you and get corrupted or somethin'. Most of this is common sense stuff, but it's good to keep it in mind. Oh, and if you want actual combat moves and s**t, you might want to go to an experienced senshi. I can probably dig some names up for you, but since we don't exactly share the same anatomy... I don't think what works for me will work for you."

"Well I can't speak for other knights but for me I awoke when I was in danger of being killed by a youma." She decided to leave out the fact that she was in danger because she tried to tackle the monster, She didn't want to look like an idiot if she didn't have to. "And then this..." She held up her wrist that had her bracelet and shook it a little for emphasis "Just appeared floating in front of me. When I touched it, I suddenly became Hyperborea. I now I power up by just thinking of this bracelet and willing it to appear."
"So yeah no guardians as far I know. Though I think we can get a magical creature to help us. But as far as I know they can't talk or do the kind of things you Mauvians can."
Hearing that Thraen had lost his lover made Hyperborea pretty sad. "Poor Thraen, he lost his boyfriend and found out he was working for the other side. That's horrible." She said not knowing what else really to say about it, she tried to put it out of her mind lest she make herself depressed over something she couldn't do anything about again.
She had to smile at his combat tips. "You wouldn't happen to know the Senshi of war would you. I feel like you two would get along really well."

"Sheeit, seriously? You don't need no pen or nothin'? Just think about some pair of bracelets and bam, you're a knight in shining armor? Or, a page, in shiny uh... Clothes. Still. Damn. Lotsa senshi would be envying you, 'cuz they gotta deal with the whole sparkley bullshit machine to get to senshi mode. Thraen never liked it. And I always thought one o' those vines was gonna shoot outta nowhere and grab me or somethin'." Knights sounded like they had it made, as far as servitude was concerned - no need to worry about a pen, some kind of transformation mechanic, or having a cat around to power them up.
The magical creature bit sounded kinda like youma, which had the Mauvian cocking a furry eyebrow at the girl. If knights were the purified equivalents of Negaverse agents, then were their magical creatures the purified version of a youma? But that would make them people. Weird. He'd have to ask Quenton on that one. Or Camelot, really.
"Yeah, s**t's bad, but bad s**t happens in a war. Oh, speakin' of war... No, I haven't met a senshi o' war. But I think if I did meet her, with a sphere like that, we'd get along jus' fine. She might know damn well how to kick some a**. Know where I might be able to find her? Or her name or anything? Cuz that sounds like a contact I gotta have." The Mauvian straightened up momentarily to shake, and dislodge some of the errant tree debris from his thick fur. It helped somewhat, and woke him up slightly.

She personally liked those pens.They seemed cool. Her way of transforming was so boring in comparison. But then again she could see how they might be an incovience, what happened if they lost it or left it at home; was that even possible for senshi, she wasn't sure.
"Yeah my uniform isn't exactly chainmail, from what I can tell my order is cursed with pretty but unpractical uniforms."
The image of Thraen's vines wrestling with a cat made Hyperborea giggle.
"Well I do meet her for a weekly sparring session but I'm afraid she likes to move around, I think to avoid the negaverse or possible to cover more ground, I'm not sure which. As for her name, she's Eternal Sailor Penthesilea."

"Impractical uniforms? Have you seen the s**t some senshi gotta wear? I'm pretty damn sure everyone got the s**t end of the stick on the whole uniform thing, even the Negaverse and the Dark Mirror. 'Cept maybe Camelot, that dude came out alright. Whole chainmail and platemail thing goin' on there. I dunno why they can't just give that s**t to everybody on our side. Wouldn't have to watch out for no damn stabby weapons anymore." And Thraen wouldn't be in the awkward position of having to move with branches that crawled up his legs. Or were they roots? 'Damn annoying' was what they were to Faust.
"Why don'cha take me with you sometime? I can cover your signature while you're goin' to meet her. Just gimme a place to be and I'll be there. Sheeit, man, if she's trainin' you then imagine the good she could do trainin' everybody else or somethin'. Oh, oh, maybe we can get her to make a video on it and then post it to everybody like the whole Senshi Primer thing. It can be like 'here, learn about how senshi work. After that, learn how to kick some a**'."
Faust froze when a realization dawned on him. "Oh shiiiiit, you guys don't got access to the phones! You dunno what the Senshi Primer is, do ya? It's this sweet little phone gizmo that tells you the basics on the war, other senshi, and a few general things about this or that. It ain't half bad. Do you got somethin' like that for knights, or is it more like you gotta get trained up by someone?"

"I know right Camelot's uniform is perfect. Exactly what I think of when I picture a knight." She was honestly really jealous of the royal knight on that regard, while she liked her uniform as a dress it didn't scream knight by any measure and it certainly didn't help defend her in battle. "Although I did meet this one mars knight who also had cool armor under his toga." At least Hyperborea assumed it was a toga, she wasn't exactly an expert on roman clothing.
"I'd be happy to take you with me, I don't think Penthe would mind. We're holding the next session at college, DCU." She said with a smile.
"Wow that Senshi Primer sounds really helpful. But no knights don't have that, at least not that I know of. We do have these rings that allow us to send messages to other knights. But no video, or at least mine doesn't do that. As for Penthe making a video, I don't know. It's really up to her, I think she'd say yes but I can't exactly speak for her."
"But more importantly Faust, whats a Dark Mirror? Are they some type of Negaverse Agent?" She said confused by the causal name drop.

Faust wheezed out a purr at her acceptance. "Hell yeah! And at least, with Penthesilea around, you'll be able to take a look at our primer. It's got some good stuff in it, and I dunno, maybe you'd want to start makin' one of your own for the knights. Dunno how that'd work, though." The rings sounded useful for communication only - and he wasn't sure if the knights had little decoder rings that fell out of cereal boxes or if there was some other method to it. He didn't think to ask; the knights probably knew what they were doing regardless.
Senshi were the ones who needed cats, after all.
"Havin' me around will be useful, seriously." Dampening signatures meant that no one would think much of the pair on the campus, and he'd have a shot at asking Penthe if she'd record some videos of basic training tips for other senshi. "My senshi doesn't live too far from the DCU campus; I'm pretty sure I could find you guys there when it's time to do the training thing. Just gimme a time and I'll be around." Besides, a senshi of war sounded like a perfect contact to add to his repertoire.
Her question concerning the Dark Mirror caught the cat off guard, and he fumbled for an answer initially. "Oh, uh, they're like... Kinda like the Negaverse's Corrupted Senshi. But they're a different kinda Chaos. Like you know how you can sense a Negaverse agent, and they feel kinda grungy and awful? The Dark Mirror feel like a similar kind of awful, but they're not quite the same. And they wear black just like the Negaverse, but they don't have holes in their head and chest. Oh, and they're all senshi - they're called the Dark Mirror Court, just like how our senshi are the White Moon Court. I don't think courts have knights in 'em. At least, I never found some kinda Dark Mirror knight. I dunno a whole lot about what they can do, but they're dangerous 'cuz they're deceptive."

"While I certainly wouldn't mind making a video, I'm not sure how anyone would view it. Plus even if we could make it accessible I'm not sure anything I say would mean much coming from a fourteen year old page. It'd probably be better if you did it with Camelot or at least a full-fledged Knight." She said with a shrug.
"The other problem is a knight would still have to find their ring, which means they have to know enough to go to their wonder."
"Thats great, We'll be meeting this Tuesday around 10:00 pm." She said with a smile.
"So we have even more enemies....great." She said flatly a bit depressed at the thought that there were more organizations devoted to chaos than just the negaverse. She already had trouble dealing with Negaverse agents, she didn't like hearing that there were more people on the side of evil. And she knew that after hearing that corrupt senshi had holes in their head and chest, she would definitely have nightmares about that.
