Welcome to Gaia! ::

Encke was well used to what his transformation phrase was and what it felt like by now -- Encke Power, Make-up -- even if he really didn't seem to look the part of someone who had been a senshi for ... several ... years.

He let out a quiet sigh.

Stopping for a moment after a brief run, Encke pulling his arms over his head and stretched out. It was a nice night, if a little chilly outside. Admittedly, he preferred the cold. Made it a little less crowded out, which gave him more space to run by himself --

"Hello! Hi!"

Encke jumped, not expecting someone to come right up behind him. In retrospect, considering he could sense that there was another senshi nearby, he probably should have known better. After a few seconds, he laughed it off, turning around to look at her himself. "Uh, you mean a senshi?" Thingy -- so she was new, then. Maybe. Quite a while ago -- maybe she was older like he was?

"I'd like to think I wear this outfit quite well, thank you." He took a moment to flex, because that was just what Encke did, before settling back to a normal position. "But that's okay, a lot of us have ... unusual outfits, I think," with a smirk, he gestured vaguely at what the other senshi was wearing. "Part of the territory."

How flustered the other senshi was didn't miss his notice, and a look of amusement crossed his face, but he didn't comment any further on it -- for now, anyway.

December caught his attention, though. So she was new. Very new, actually. Not that he thought it was likely that she had been a senshi as long as he had been, but it was still an intriguing thought -- no matter, he supposed. In a lot of respects, he was probably just as new as she was. He didn't remember the last time he had seen a cat...

Had he seen one since his awakening?

"It's, uh, been a while," offered Encke, with an awkward laugh. "For me, anyway. I can't blame you for thinking it was related to drugs though, it's kinda weird isn't it?"

He couldn't exactly tell people that he could go to a comet at will, for example. Well, sorta at will. There seemed to be a lot of restrictions on it. He wished he could go more often. Being in space on a comet was amazing--

Suddenly jumping subjects to the tips she had requested, Encke offered, "There's a sensation in your brain right? Those tell you when other people like us are nearby. Sometimes good, sometimes bad."

Reality was stranger than fiction. He had to wonder if there were any writers that would come up with something like this, though. A group of people, awoken on Earth, representing the cosmos and its distant places? He would be interested in playing on a script like that. Maybe he could --

No, Ignacio. That would be a bad idea.

Kari's cheer kept Encke at ease, and he was able to give her a rather large grin at her description. "Yup, exactly! And I'm Sailor Encke," Hadaya must have been one of the cats, he guessed. "Definitely not a bad guy. At least, I hope not."

He glanced down at himself with some level of amusement, before looking back at Kari.

"Uh," kick puppies bad was how he wished he could respond, honestly. Encke offered a bit of a lop-sided smile, rubbing his neck. "Depends on the person, I think. More of the latter though."

Encke's eyebrows raised in amusement at her babbling, a small smirk forming on his face. "Oh, a master? I would certainly be interested in what a master can do."

On a more serious note, though, Encke added, "I bet the senshi could always use more nurses, though. Lots of injuries." At least, from what he understood. There was a big war thing going on, and all that. He tended to avoid a lot of the, uh, fighting. He had to get his own mind in order, first. Take care of himself before others.

Encke rubbed at his arm, deciding to not think any further on that path. This conversation was much more interesting.

He didn't exactly miss the boyfriend reference, and it did make him grin a bit, but he went a bit on a different path with his response. "Loyalty? I admit, I wouldn't've thought loyalty when I saw your outfit," he paused, "but then again, I didn't really think any sphere." It wasn't as obvious as he thought eyes had been, though that didn't even turn out to be eyes really. "I'm Plasma, though. Encke of Plasma."

He looked down at his outfit. "Not sure what this outfit has to do with plasma. It's easy to move in though, and plasma's fast?"

"Five years is a long time to be doing one thing, though." Longer than he tended to spend doing one thing, admittedly. He was sure that Kari probably had considerable mastery over the skill...

Wait, blood plasma? His brows raised a bit at her description, before he snickered a bit -- not at her, but at the thought of abilities involving blood plasma. What would he do exactly, if he did that? Bleed all over his enemies? Well, that wouldn't quite work, considering it was plasma, though it might certainly creep people out. Maybe he could do something with healing? Was that was blood plasma did? He wasn't exactly a med student...

After a moment, he shook his head. "Nah, like stages of matter plasma? The high energy matter stuff. Like some of the stuff in space?" He pulled his hands apart like he was going to summon his power, but he quickly decided that this was a bad idea and did not. "Like the stuff you see in those plasma balls they have at novelty stores. I think that's where the colours come from."

He admittedly hadn't had a conversation this amusing as a senshi in a while. It was nice to be able to relax when he felt other presences instead of immediately powering down and fleeing the premises...

Encke looked a little alarmed when she didn't seem embarrassed for any reason that was good, and he shook his head rapidly at her reaction.

"Don't worry about it! I can see why a biology student would think blood plasma. I just don't know all that much about biology, so my brain automatically goes elsewhere." He laughed. He knew ... enough about biology, but he certainly didn't know all the things a nurse who was actively studying would have to know. How did anyone even keep all that in their head? He would have been lost fifty times over...

It was getting rather late, and as much as he was enjoying this conversation he would rather not concern certain people but-- This was nice.

He laughed. "Yeah, it is kinda late. But I would like to see you again! I tend to run in this form in this general area, so you might run into me here on occasion. And I would appreciate the scarf, really."

Encke saluted. "It was nice meeting you?"

Encke couldn't help a small bit of a confident smirk at her remark that the pleasure was hers, but he managed to pop a hole in that small ego bubble before it got worse.

Her concern for him getting frostbite was sweet, though, but he couldn't help a small laugh when she worried. "Thank you, though -- you keep yourself warm too, alright?" Glancing warily at the direction he was fairly sure the snow was coming from--at least, the night sky looked even darker over there--he added, "No point in getting yourself buried in whatever's coming."

He laughed. "Provided we aren't buried in a snowpocalypse, I'll make sure to stop by. Good luck with the studies!"

After offering a cheerful wave, Encke headed back off in the direction of his house.
