Arseno was quite glad that his uniform consisted of such warm clothing. Sure, it had been a pain during the summer months, but now it kept him nice and warm while he was out and about looking for targets to steal energy from.
Currently he was looking at the ground below from the roof of some store, he hadn't bothered to see which one. He had just hopped up on this from some other roof. He jolted suddenly, feeling a slightly different aura. He couldn't quite recognize it. It didn't feel like an ordinary white moon aura, but it didn't seem to be a corrupted aura either.
Either way, he had to go and check it out. If there was a senshi in the area he had to defeat them. He started off in the direction the aura was coming from.

Juliet had actually only finished collecting energy -- she was a dutiful member of her Court, if nothing else, and with her fuku the way it was she often had barely enough time to fill her Wraith before needing to power down into something relatively warmer. Lovely it might have been, but silks and gauzy overlays hardly made for warmth. She tucked the mirror shard into her palm, fingers closing tight around it, unaware of Arsenopyrite rapidly closing in.

Finally he had reached the location that the aura was coming from and it turned out to be a senshi, and a lone one at that. Well this should be easy enough then. Arseno thought as he hoped down behind her.
He wondered to himself if he should announce his presence to her or if he should just jump her. He had never done that before though, but it would make the target easier to defeat or at least he would have the upperhand...
He sighed to himself in his head. Why did he still feel bad about doing this sort of thing? He really needed to learn to get rid of his emotions when it came to fighting the white moon.
"What's this, a senshi out by herself. You really shouldn't be out you know. You could get... hurt." Darn it, he just had to let her know he was there.

Juliet turned and smiled, her fingers clenching tighter around the mirror shard, the expression not reaching her eyes. There were no teeth showing. She could have been 18, maybe, but that was as old as she could possibly be. "If I didn't do anything with a possibility of getting hurt, I would be incapable of anything. Do you need something? I don't have anything for you." She seemed perfectly clueless.

Arseno was glad to have the mask on, at least it hid his surprise at her non-reaction. She didn't seem to care that someone from the negaverse was right in front of her. Or perhaps she was just such an amazing senshi that she could beat him?
He faltered a bit thinking of what to say, but he wouldn't be deterred. "I think you know how this goes. We fight, and if you lose I steal your energy." He replied, rushing at her, planning on at least trying to hit her with his fist.

"We really don't need to," Juliet said - or, rather, she got halfway through saying, before Arsenopyrite's fist hit her directly in the shoulder and she reeled back, eyes wide and shocked. "Couldn't you just drain me?" She was quiet, still; maybe too quiet, out of surprise. "There's no need to fight...!"

Arseno couldn't help but reel back in surprise a bit. Sure, this senshi wasn't the first that didn't want to fight him but... uh well, he felt bad. He still kept his guard up, but he was expecting... some sort of retaliation?
"I um..." He wasn't sure what to say at this point. Should he really say sorry? He was an agent of the negaverse after all! "I was expecting a bit more fighting." He hated the feeling in his gut that was telling him to apologize. "... I can just drain your energy if you're willing then? Can't do anything about your shoulder now unfortunately though. Sorry." He said the latter a bit more quietly, almost hoping she wouldn't hear him.

"If you want to fight, I can indulge you," she murmured, pulling her hands up to her mouth and whispering "Juliet Foggy Whiteout," blowing a puff of foggy air that quickly expanded and grew into what could, if you were given a tendency to overemphasize, a cloud. "But I'm not one of your enemies, Lieutenant - my court is allied with your organization." It was a little bit of a lie, but she couldn't remember precisely, so it was close enough. (She backed away a step, then.) SSBrosB Sailor Juliet says the name of her attack and blows a puff of cold, snowy air; this surrounds Sailor Juliet in a ten-by-ten-by-ten foot radius of a magical white haze, dropping visibility for 30 seconds. This does move with her, as it is more a collection of cold air than it is an actual solid form; however, it is magical, and cannot be blown away by wind. This 'haze' is fairly solid, and probably a bit uncomfortably nippy -- it is distinctly made out of snow, if one looks close enough -- but it's not gonna cause frostbite. Visibility will be reduced about 40%.

Despite the warm uniform he was in, Arseno felt a chill go up him as the senshi used her attack. Taking a few steps back Arseno realized he couldn't see as well as before. This seems familiar... He thought as he looked around for a bit. It wasn't quite like the senshi he had fought before, but it did make him a bit jealous that their attacks were more magic based.
He heard what she said though. "You're from a dark mirror senshi then?" He knew they weren't aligned anymore, or at least it was very strained at this point, he had talked to one of them, but that senshi looked completely different from her.
He was getting a bit cold now with this cloud surrounding them, he would want to get out of here soon. "You're only the second one I've ever seen. I couldn't recognize that you weren't part of the white moon." There was really no point in fighting her. "We... don't have to fight. I tend to go only after the white moon fighters."

Juliet smiled, soft, and curtsied when Arsenopyrite acknowledged her alignment. "I am a Dark Mirror Senshi, yes. If you take a few steps back, you will be free of the chill - it only surrounds me, after all." It was hard to distinguish through the cloud, but she seemed poised, hands clasped in front of her and back straight. "It's not your fault. I've only met a few of my court, and I understand they will not all have the same perspective as I do. Would you still like to drain energy from me? I really don't mind, I promise."

Well, this senshi certainly was interesting. It just showed how varied they were, at least compared to what he had seen for the negaverse. Arseno smiled a bit and took a few more steps back to get out of the cloud. It was surprising how much warmer he felt getting out of it, even though winter was in full swing in the city. He relaxed a bit and thought about what she had said. After a couple of seconds he slowly shook his head. "No, it's fine. Although I wouldn't mind draining energy from you, I still need to practice my skills on... others." He had almost said 'innocents' but then again, almost no one was truly innocent. "Besides, I would feel bad taking it from someone who gave it so freely. Unless you want me to take it that badly." He replied, chuckling a bit. He doubted she would take him up on his offer.

"I understand the necessity of draining energy," Juliet replied, perfectly polite; "in fact, I must do it myself, although I doubt we share tactics. I would much prefer you drain me instead of a stranger - I am in no danger of being unable to make my way home, whereas a stranger has no such guarantee." She was oddly insistent about the whole thing, even if her voice remained pleasant. "My magic will pass in a few seconds, and we can continue our affair, yes?"

She didn't seem to be trying to trick him... though she seemed more concerned about him hurting civilians. He didn't really care about that but if she was willing. "Well, fine if you want then. I have no qualms in taking it."

"I'm glad," Juliet smiled wearily, taking a step towards him and extending her arm for his grasp. "If nothing else, even if I'm perfectly aware of you taking my energy...it can be finesse practice, I suppose." Finesse was important, after all. You had to do things cleanly. That was what she cared about, first and foremost, and that was so very obvious.

"Finesse eh?" Well, he supposed there was something in being able to drain energy with a little skill. It might even help him in the future. This was still weird though.
He waited for the cloud to dissipate before grabbing her arm lightly. He didn't think he needed to grab too hard at least. He concentrated a bit and started to drain energy from her, just enough to reach his quota for the night, and not take too much away.
It didn't take very long, and he made sure not to be late in stopping himself, but eventually he was done and let go of her arm slowly, making sure she wouldn't fall over or something because of the energy drain.Daekie Sure, your next post can be the last for you and my post after that the last one?
