Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Summer had been both kind and unkind to Leucite. Kind in that he had finally found a place in the Negaverse in which he felt that he would be doing the most good. Unkind in that it had cost him a position in the Negaverse that he had held for so long it had felt like a second skin. But, he was past that now, even thinking about the Special Operations meeting no longer raised the fire in his blood. Looking back, it had been a boon as much as it had been a punishment.

But that mattered little now. Already he was scouting an area that would suit his needs for his plans later that week. Plans that would require a bit of logistics to carry off, but he knew would result in only betterment for the Negaverse. He would take no prey himself that night, this was purely a scouting venture. Still, he was a beacon in the night, and he made not attempts to be anything but.

If the White Moon wanted to interrupt him - so be it - all the better to know one of their ilk patrolled the area. If a fellow Negaverse Officer wanted to speak with him... Well he was amiable to a friendly discussion as he worked.

Arseno would not need to yell. No sooner had Leucite picked up the Aura of the Lieutenant, he slowed in his movements, down to a speed that the Lieutenant would find easy to follow. Then he stopped, and turned in the rough direction of Arseno, when he reached a rooftop that seemed more than empty enough of any air conditioner units that would be spitting out hot hair from their vents, or anything that might block a breeze by its bulk.

The General too, was wearing a long coat, though if the heat bothered him he didn't seem to be showing any signs of it. The man fell into an easy stance, something that resembled parade rest - hands behind his back and feet shoulder width apart.

It seemed, surprisingly, like he was waiting for Arseno to join him. A silent, but open invitation to approach.

As the other man landed, Leucite remained where he stood, and let the silence stew for a few more moments before finally he inhaled and let out a long, slow sigh.

"It's awfully warm out tonight? Isn't it?" He asked, and with little fanfare, slid the coat off of his own shoulders and folded it over his arm, leaving himself in his (still long sleeved) Blue jacket. "Why don't you shrug off that coat and get a little bit more comfortable? Won't do us any good if you pass out."

"General Leucite," He said, before motioning back to Arseno. "And by what name do I call you, Lieutenant?"

"Arsenopyrite..." Leucite said, taking his time with the word. "How long have you been with us, Arsenopyrite?"

The General did not move from where he stood, nor did he shift his feet overly much from how they had been before. The coat remained draped over his arm, and his gaze was running over Arseno, measuring the other man as he asked his questions.

"You can relax," He added, with a bit of humor in his voice. "I promise I don't bite."

Though, he wouldn't tell the man that was the biggest lie ever.

Five months was not a very long time, which was fine, the Negaverse needed fresh blood, nobody would herald that fact harder than Leucite. He continued to watch the other man, and as he finished his reply the General smiled.

"Five months? Have you taken a starseed yet?" His question was quick an dto the point, cutting away at any sense of formality.

"Hmmm, another question, before you answer that," He added, raising his free hand as if to dissuade the other man from a quick reply. "What do you think of our enemy, the White Moon? Also... What do you think of us, the Negaverse, I'm curious what new eyes see..."

Lecuite listened silently as Arseno spoke, his face a mask of contemplation. When Arseno finished speaking, Leucite removed his coat from his forearm and hung it over the nearby roof ledge. Turning to Arseno then, he nodded his head.

"You are right about one thing, this is a war. A war for this planet. Do you love this planet Aresonpyrite? Do you love and cherish your family, your friends?" Leucite spoke with a well practiced tone, one that resonated with earnest feelings.

"The senshi and knights are our enemy, the knights only because they have been lead astray by the cunning lies of the White Moon. The Negaverse truly cares about this planet, the youma have come to our aid, to protect this planet... Queen Metallia has granted us a portion of her endless power so that we may purge this world of the corruption of the senshi and bring those lost back into the fold." Leucite's voice grew more forceful as he spoke. He turned fully toward Arseno, his eyes locking squarely onto the other man.

"We must bring all under the power of the Negaverse if there is any hope of saving this world, Arsenopyrite... If we are to truly survive. The White Moon is our enemy, but an enemy we must convert... kill if we must... but convert to our ways if we can."

Leucite took a long breath and bowed his head. "Does that help you understand our place in this war, Arsenopyrite? We are Righteous in our cause... We must for the Greater Good, bring those who would do harm to this planet under our heel."

"You are right, they seem to be protecting them, but the truth is that they only care as far as to stop us from pulling energy, or punishing those who the law will not punish." Leucite said, watching the other man. "We are the ones truly protecting the civilians. That protection comes at a cost. A little energy here or there won't hurt anyone. I personally pull starseeds from the dregs of society. The Drug dealers, the gang members. Those who would only harm their community. If that is not serving the Greater Good... Well... What is then?"

"They do not understand that the law refuses to punish some, and so here we are, granted power by Queen Metallia, to do service in her name." The way Leucite spoke Metallia's name was almost... reverent, bordering on the utterance of a saint or a god.

"So in Righteousness we must gird ourselves and strike against the wicked and profane. Those who would harm our world and our loved ones." Leucite added, his words taking on an almost brimstone like fire. "I can teach you... If you want to learn?"

Leucite nodded and heading back to his coat, he pulled it up from the ledge, and then reached inside to one of the inner pockets. Pulling out a piece of paper and a pen, he quickly scribbled some directions and then handed Arseno the paper.


"I run a Training Corps for the Negaverse, you are more than welcome to sign up and attented... if that's not to your liking, my contact information is on the back of that poster, along with directions to my office in Negaspace... You're welcome to come see me at any time." Leucite said as he motioned to the poster.

"So then, is there anything else you'd like to know?"
