Arseno looked about before leaping onto the next rooftop. He felt exhausted, and not from trying to drain people. His summer classes were starting to get a bit harder and that meant more studying which meant a more scattered schedule and less time to do things he wanted and...
Yeah he was stressed out to say the least, wishing he could just sleep through an entire day or at least take some sort of vacation. He would be visiting his parents after his summer classes were over for a week, but that didn't help him right now, it just made him wish time would go faster.
So he had decided to take a break for the night by trying to search for a target or two to drain energy from. At least he was getting some exercise this way, his soccer practice schedule had been off since his classes got busier. He didn't really care if he found someone tonight to drain energy from, but he did like the surge of energy he got in his powered form.
At this point he was really only traveling from roof to roof for the exercise rather than having any vantage point. But he knew that he ran the risk of getting noticed by some senshi or knight. Though perhaps a fight would help him to de-stress a little.

The voice came from the shadow of the industrial air conditioning unit hunkered down in the center of the roof on which he had just landed. No one stepped forward, however, and a lengthy pause followed. Finally, after Arseno had been able to count ten heartbeats, a low chuckle broke the moment. "So, yeah, roof-jumping. Either you're one of those parkour nuts or something else. Not that that helps because, really, there are a lot of something elses in this city."

Aresno jumped a little as he heard the voice and turned around to where he had heard it come from. Well, running into someone really shouldn’t surprise him with the number of times he had been jumped. Wasn’t he the one who was supposed to be doing that?
He still couldn’t see who owned the voice, but assumed it was behind the lone air conditioner on the rooftop. “Yeah well, I don’t think someone doing parkour would dress like this.” Refusing to admit he was a negaverse agent would be pretty useless at this point unless he managed to run away without saying anything.
“Come on, why don’t you come out already. You’ve probably already guessed what sort of person I am.” He would try to avoid his bones being broken tonight at least.

“Come on, why don’t you come out already. You’ve probably already guessed what sort of person I am.” He would try to avoid his bones being broken tonight at least. "Actually, you'd be surprised. I'm kind of behind the curve on this sort of thing. My day job has been off-the-wall busy. You know how it is. Terrorist threats, people in goofy costumes running around, kids beating each other up. It's like the whole city has gone a little ga-ga." A sigh echoed from the shadows - just a little dramatic. "But you're right and it's really kinda rude to hide and try having a conversation so, hey, here I come. No shooting, Tex." With that, a tall blond man emerged. He wore a combination of linen and armor with a distinctly Roman flare. The wide white grin on his face seemed at complete odds with the solid, stocky build of his frame. "Hey."

Arseno wondered what this guy’s day job was? He seemed to be giving out a lot of personal information for some reason. He must really be tired. Arseno thought as he saw the man emerge. He cocked an eyebrow at the figure. He decided not to attack the guy, though he wouldn’t have attacked the guy anyway, he would have had no idea if the guy would be more dangerous after a surprise attack.
This page seemed quite relaxed too. Unlike the other two he had gone up against, those two were both willing to fight him right away. “Uh… hey?” Arseno couldn’t really reply any other way. He wondered what this page was up to. Well that and Arseno was a bit surprised at the guy’s outfit.
Arseno may have looked like he was ready to fight in the rain, but at least he didn’t look like… that. But then again, the knights all seemed to have weird outfits. He had already gone up against a cowboy looking one so this outfit really shouldn’t be a surprise.

He absently twirled a little clay pipe in his hand. His posture remained easy and loose but there was no way Arseno could mistake the observant light in the other man's golden eyes. "So," the page drawled, "who are you and should I be kicking your butt?"

Arseno shrugged his shoulders. “Just your everyday ordinary negaverse agent. Though I’m sure you could have figured that out on your own. You seem pretty observant.” There was no avoiding a fight anyway. Though he was wondering why this guy seemed so relaxed. He wondered if the man was readying some sort of attack and got into a fighting position.
“And may I ask who you are Mr. Roman? I mean you were on this rooftop first after all. I seem to have interrupted you.” And he was also cursing himself that he had managed to miss this page’s aura. He really needed to work on recognizing that.

It was a funny sort of salute, midway between respect and disrespect. "Just your every-day ordinary page of Mars," he echoed Arseno's words with disarming good-nature. "And you didn't interrupt me. I was just hanging out, taking a walk, seeing what was going on around here. Now, if you were to, y'know, attack me or an innocent bystander... Well, that would interrupt me. Actually, it would piss me off so please tell me you haven't attacked anyone in a while. It would really make my night."

“Well if you must know I was just out for a run. Wanted to de-stress myself a bit you know?” He shrugged once again, crossing his arms. This page didn’t seem like he was going to attack, at least not without provocation. “Haven’t been able to get some exercise for a while and thought a good run would do me some good.
“And I’ve been attacked by youma while not being powered up, so I wanted to avoid that again.” It was the truth. Being attacked by a youma, almost having his starseed taking by a fellow agent… multiple times by different ones. He apparently just had that sort of “innocent bystander” aura following him around in his non-powered form.
“I have no reason to attack you yet. So far it’s mostly been you guys jumping me.”

"Good to know that Them and Us sticks around even if we're wearing goofy clothing. Makes it almost hilariously normal. Anyway..." He shrugged. "You might as well call me Saguenay if you can manage it. It's a weird sorta word." His golden-amber eyes traveled up and down Arseno once more, a quick sort of intelligence in the appraisal. While he said nothing, his posture shifted ever so slightly. It was not an aggressive motion but it put him in an easier position to move fast if necessary. "Get beat up a lot, do you?"

Arseno humphed a bit. He wouldn’t fall for the knights tactics. He was sure that the man was planning something, probably an attack, though he would act like he didn’t know. He would just be ready in case the man did. “Well, it’s not like we get to choose what we wear. I’m sure most of us would choose something less ridiculous than what we change into.” He sure would, though he would probably keep himself mostly covered anyway, it would be good for the winter months.
“I’m Arsenopyrite but I like to go by Arseno. Easier to say anyway.” He would punch the knight if he called him ‘Arse’. “Saguenay then, interesting meeting you.” He couldn’t say ‘nice’ of course, a meeting between a negaverse agent and a knight usually wasn’t something that ended with the two of them planning to meet over tea. Arseno sighed out loud. “Well, we aren’t really given any good weapons to help us in battles and if you have some trouble fighting already, a long trench coat isn’t going to help with that now is it?” He replied, raising an eyebrow.

Saguenay shrugged casually. "Only if you don't know how to fight already, I guess," he offered with another cheerful, devil-may-care smile. "I assume we can strip this stuff off if we need to so no big deal." He glanced down at the heavy bracers on his wrists and fingered the rolled metal edge of the left one. Come to think of it... He might not have a weapon any scarier than a little clay pipe but a good strong forearm against someone? Yeah, that would work. He looked up again at Arseno before reaching both arms up and back to fold his hands behind his head. His amber eyes fixed, unwavering, on the other man's face. "So I have to ask... Who are the real hoodlums in this ridiculous gang war?"

Arseno shrugged. “Maybe, haven’t really tried it yet though.” He had never really taken the time to see what type of clothing he was wearing underneath. Though from what it felt like, it may have just been a shirt of some sort and some pants. Not very ‘uniform’, but it would be easier to run in.
He seems to be enjoying this. Arseno thought to himself as he saw Saguenay put his hands behind his head. Though that didn’t mean that the page was relaxed, just that he only presented himself that way. Arseno listened carefully to the page’s question and shrugged after it had been asked. “Don’t know. Trying to figure that out myself still. Everyone seems to have done terrible things, but I guess that’s how wars go.”

"I guess so." Saguenay seemed to put some serious thought into the answer and then shook his head. "I don't know, though. There should be a scale at least of what is worse that should make it easier." He paused again and dropped his arms. Something was bothering him, itching just under his skin, and all of the small talk in the world wasn't going to help him ignore it. Part of him really wanted to send this kid for a loop. He flexed his hands, watching Arseno's body language and posture. "So... Do you steal souls?" he asked, voice strangely mild. SSBrosB My goodness, I suck, I am SO SORRY for this delay! Hit me next time.

A scale huh? But I already know that the Negaverse has killed people. And I know the white moon has tortured others. Neither side is looking that great. He thought to himself as he listened to Saguenay. It seemed that the Negaverse would be on the “worse” side anyway, and he figured that the knight would just try to show him how bad the Negaverse was.
Arseno wasn’t really shocked at the guy’s question, though he was confused for a bit because of how Saguenay had worded it. He still couldn’t quite grasp the fact that starseeds were souls yet, but he hadn’t really focused on starseeds anyway. Currently he was just an energy collector. His shook his head. “No, just an energy collector so far. Haven’t really seen the point in getting starseeds. If we all started taking only starseeds, there wouldn’t be anyone left to get any sort of energy from.” And that was true, at least in his mind. Though he couldn’t help but think that the human herd might need to be thinned a bit… It's not like the planet needed 7 billion people on it.
