Welcome to Gaia! ::

The theater district wasn't necessarily a place where Cybele spent a lot of time hunting. Maybe it should have been. It was convenient enough. She'd been in a few shows here, back when she was in high school, and although the university put on enough shows in their own auditorium to keep her busy now that she was a student there, she still came here often enough to watch others perform, especially since her one of her professors had connections and tended to be able to get theater majors discounted tickets, but afterwards, she always just hurried home.

Today she had gone alone, so she had powered up for the trip home, since she did not trust the city at night. She wasn't hunting or even patrolling, though. She was thinking about the blocking choices in the performance of Macbeth she'd just seen, not the faint auras at the edges of her senses, or even the one directly in front of her until she came face to face with the knight who it was radiating off of. This time, she was almost certain it was a knight despite the fact that she was in a sparkling gown rather than a suit of armor, and it was sort of nice, knowing that she was getting a little better at telling the factions of Order apart. She smiled politely. "Oh, hello."

"Of course," replied Cybele automatically, despite the fact that she wasn't really in the mood, and a full knight didn't need her protection or help or whatever the correct term was in any case. It was rare for her to meet others from Order by chance, and she was starting to realize that connections were as important when she was a senshi as they were in the regular world, and she hadn't don the best on that front in the past. "I'm Cybele, Senshi of the Hunt," she said, complete with the little curtsy, then matched the pace of the knight.

"I love your outfit," she continued, which was her go to compliment, but, like always, it was true. Their outfits seemed to place form over function. The glimmering princess dress still stood out, though. She admired it for a second or so before noticing the glimmering mark on her arm. "Are you transcendent?" She didn't quite feel like it. The sparkles on her dress didn't translate into brightness in her aura, but Cybele wasn't exactly an expert on that subject.

"Hvergelmir," she repeated slowly, making sure she had a grasp on the exotically arranged syllables. It was pretty, but Cybele decided not to mention that. Petty compliments made decent conversation starters sometimes, but this didn't seem to be one of those situations. "Knight of... Cosmos, you said? I'm sorry, this is going to make me sound really ignorant, but... is that a planet?" The truth was, she'd only met maybe three knights and only knew the basics about them. They were allies. They had weapons and planets, not power spheres. The rest was a mystery. It might be a good idea to learn more.

That vague, forced curiosity turned genuine at the next point, however. "A magic oath?" It had been years since her giddy excitement about talking cats and the fact that she was a magical girl had faded, but she still found magic very fascinating, especially types that were new to her. She caught herself staring at the seal and had to force her eyes forward. "I've never heard of that, either. What does it do?"
