Welcome to Gaia! ::

Benitoite regarded the girl with a steady gaze and nothing more than a nod of acknowledgement. The crystal was then brought to his lips and he spoke once more. “This is General Benitoite, I would like to request the presence of General Queen Luralite. I am with Katya and we have found an unawakened senshi and need your assistance.”

He didn’t want to bring this girl into the war, but he also could not and would not deny Katya another corrupt. To show hesitation would only bring problems he did not wish to deal with considering he was so bad at lying. The last thing he wanted was to be figured out and so he would do as his ranking demanded and pull her into the war whether she liked it or not. Benitoite just hoped whatever she chose to do once awakened, neither of them wound up in trouble and that she proved useful, even to a small degree.

“I’m dreaming…”That’s the only explanation there is. Or maybe I hit my head when I fell into the shelf.

“You did not just speak…” Did he..? she… it… noo.

Sonia’s eyebrows knitted in both confusion and disbelief. First a whiptail scorpion pulled straight from the Harry Potter movie with Mad Eye Moody teaching the class about the deadly curses and now this? “I don’t know what kind of game you’re playing but I suggest you leave. Now!” Despite how assertive she tried to sound, the threat sounded a few drops shy of empty.

While continuing to maintain eye contact, the brunet lowered herself down to one knee and shook Senior Galeano’s leg in another attempt to rouse him awake.

Locating the General was not a particularly difficult task; teleporting there was an easier task. There was a sparkle of interest in her eyes as she looked between the three. An unawakened Senshi, found before either the Dark Mirror Senshi or the White Moon?

Oh, luck, what a pleasant thing you were.

One second, she was not there, and then the next--she was. She did nothing to hide her energy signature, and while the civilian might not have felt it, she enjoyed flaunting it to the others.

"Evening," she greeted, in her sugary sweet voice. She laced her fingers before her and rocked on her heels. While the action made her seem innocent enough, it served a much better purpose to stretch after her long hours at the desk.

She clanged between the three, taking in their appearances quickly.

"You continue to impress me, Benitoite. And Katya, what a good job you are doing. It was right to call me. Dear, are you all right?" she asked, looking to the girl she didn't recognize. The girl she would soon see took an integral part in making the world a better place. Under Metallia's rule, of course, but the details, the details...

While the civilian didn’t feel the aura, immense as it was, the ashen blond certainly felt it though but he didn’t give pause as some might. The aura of chaos wasn’t an angry thing and it was even a bit comforting as odd as it might sound to some. He found chaos to be a comfort, it was why he enjoyed the long walks through the Rift. With the General Queen’s entrance his gaze shifted to her and that rocking motion of hers.

Bowing his head, he wouldn’t get down on his knees to her, he smiled at the mint haired woman. “I’m glad I can impress you General Queen. I hope I can continue to do so.” His words were honest, he didn’t wish to displease the woman despite how nice she seemed. laurelite might be nice now but Benitoite knew that to anger her would mean certain death, he just didn’t know how that death would play out and he didn’t care to find out.

His attention turned then to the girl with the sunset colored eyes and he tilted his head a bit to the right side, taking note of her pointed sword. “I am General Benitoite and the woman before you, whom you are pointing your sword at, is General Queen Laurelite.” Katya had already introduced herself so there was no point in him doing so again. “We are here because of you, and I would advise you to put the sword down.” He doubted the General Queen would take action against the girl, but it was still a very unwise thing to do.

Laurelite did not seem intimidated by the sword in the slightest; she barely batted an eye at the utensil.

"I'm not sure what you hope to accomplish by waving that thing around, dear. As you can see, I've already expressed my interest in your well being and displayed my concern for your health. It's just plain rude, this."

Without fear, the General Queen reached out and planted her finger along the side of the sword, lightly pushing it downwards and away from her as she took a step towards the girl.

Her eyes never left the civilian's face.

"I am General Queen Laurelite," she said. "And I am here to bestow upon you what you could imagine only in your wildest dreams. Certainly you must feel it?" she began slowly, fingers slowly sliding atop the flat side of the sword.

"Lived your whole life, wondering what the meaning of it was? Wondering why you were here, Wondering what you could be. Who you could be. Feeling like you could be more than just some girl, in a big city, in a big world. Are you aware of the power you hold inside you, dear? Have you felt it?"

She was quiet for a second longer, taking in the girl's face.

"Do you want to?"

Daring to speak, to do so for the General Queen, the General spoke up from where he stood. “You would work with us.” Not for us, no that would sound less appealing. “Against the terrorists who see fit to attack our city and the innocents who live here.” He knew both sides did their fair share of damage, his side perhaps more than the other, but he didn’t say this as he focused just on the other side and their negatives.

“You would serve our cause - the removal of the terrorists who would otherwise seek our destruction and whatever else.” Whatever else indeed...It was best he not think on such things, on his own thoughts and opinions here, and focus on convincing her and making sure he used what words he thought would work best, such as using the more dramatic destruction rather than something weaker...less dramatic. “General Queen Luralite can give you this power...power equal to some of them. You’ll need to train and work with it, as we all must, but to have such a sport as you do.” Here he nodded to her sword. “You must already have a healthy level of dedication to training and dedication in general.” He spoke, seeking to praise her, as he looked down to Katya who was again nosing at the girl.

Patiently, Laurelite let the other speak, content to let them all give their own insight to the situation. Ultimately, regardless of whatever this girl answered, she would have another senshi tonight.

But it was always easiest when they came willingly.

Laurelite did not have to worry so much about if they would sabotage the Negaverse, or defect. This bond of trust was essential, and though there were a thousand things she could have been doing that night, instead she stood there, unwillingly to corrupt this girl with an ounce of force if she would agree.

"Certainly there must be someone you hold dear?" she offered. "…Someone whose life you treasure. This is more than just protecting you. This is protecting them. And everyone. In exchange for your services, you'll find a watchful eye looking after all those you hold dear, and in return you keep your eyes on others. We'll fight together, for a better world."

She smiled. "You seem like someone who would stand only for justice and righteousness. Let me give you the power to do so."
