((You can thank me later, for this )) Victoria had wondered into one of the near by gardens, while it was the middle of January not all the Christmas flowers had been replaced yet with the new winter or spring flowers. He sighed as he walked into the garden looking at how pretty it was.
it was nice to see things that still grew in the colder weather, despite it not being that horribly cold yet this winter. Maybe snow a few times in the city. It was easy to see how these flowers could survive the cold weather though.
About midway through he found a nice little bench to sit on and watch the water fountain in the middle as the water danced in the lights that illuminated it and the flowery back drop behind it. He looked around softly though because he could feel an order aura not too far away. He really hoped they weren't just going to out right attack him but he if they did, he supposed he should expect as much.

Tonight was Elvira’s first night out patrolling since she had her starseed ripped from her chest…so far things had been going well enough, but now as she felt the aura of someone her strength nearby, only chaos…she was apprehensive. Extremely apprehensive.
Slowly she crept towards the person, not away as all of her instincts were screaming at her to do, and when she saw the senshi…the corrupted senshi just sitting there, she felt just a little braver and stood up out of her half crouch, of course that still only just barely made her tall enough to see, she was such a shortie, and it seemed like she would always be this way…but…that was okay.
Standing about twenty feet away from the corrupt super, Elvira swallowed. “Um…Hello…are…are you up to no good?”
She felt as though her lack of bravery was going to come back and bite her in the butt…but she was scared again…and she hated that.

Victoria stopped and looked around, he assumed that she meant him, "Well. . . . I don't see anything here that would get me into trouble, so I assume I'm not?" He observed, she was the only other one here and he wasn't really horribly interested in hurting her.
He seemed to think, "Honestly, I found this place pretty, so I thought I'd check out more properly, the flowers are nice." There was a soft smile, "Don't you think so?"

Elvira stayed quiet for a second, watching him, and then moved a bit closer, her purple eyes moving around, taking in all of the flowers, and finally she nodded. “Yeah, they are pretty…I might…be a little biased, but I really do like the poinsettias…”
She looked around for another bench to sit on, and was pleased that there was one right across from Victoria’s, and finally she moved to sit herself down on it. “So…if you don’t mind me asking…why are you…working for the Negaverse…?” She wasn’t trying to be rude, not at all…well, then she realized that she was, and quickly made to correct that. “Oh, I’m sorry…I’m Sailor Elvira, senshi of Poinsettias, it’s nice to meet you…”

Victoria smiled when she said they were pretty and that she might be a bit biased. "Yes, but look how well they thrive in this weather."
There was a pause when she asked why he was working for the negaverse, "Well, they saved me, really." He said with a pause, his memories of what happened before and at his corruption were foggy, there was no recollection of anything but what he knew from what he'd told Asha and now that he'd met Metis, some clues to his past. "The team I was a part of . . . well most of them left me. So I was lost and lonely. They saved me, they gave me a family, comrades I could count on."
He paused, "That's not to say there aren't tough decisions to make; but the positives I've seen far out weigh the negatives." There was a moment where he was clearly thinking before posing his own question, "Why do you ask?"
He didn't mind and smiled when she offered her name, "Nice to meet you Elvira, I'm Victoria, senshi of Glory."

Elvira looked horribly sad when he mentioned that he had been on her side and he had gone to the Negaverse…oh…that was worse than…than starting out there…
“I…I see…But…” She fiddled with the poinsettia crystal that hung around her neck and sighed. “You left us? You didn’t have to go to them, you know…you could have made more friends…I would have been your friend…I still will, if you want me to.”
How horrible…to be so lonely that you wanted to leave and go to a group of people who did such terrible things…it made Elvira’s heart ache to think about it. “You know…maybe if you got some friends, you could come back to us and we could all be happy…I’m sure you had to be happy at one point in your life…right? Didn’t you have a family or anything? I have a family, and a brother who I love more than anything and if anything ever happened to him…”
She broke off, thinking. Would she ever go to the Negaverse if something happened to Arias? She didn’t think so…but honestly, that would be the only reason she would ever…even mildly entertain the thought.

Vicky smiled softly it was a little sad though when she touched on the words of family. "Honestly? I don't remember much, just what I was reminded of."
"I . . don't know if I had any family." It was a blatant lie, now at least. Metis had told him he family. He didn't want to know the details, he wanted them safe and the easiest way to do that was to deny there were any truth to those words. "I would happy to have you as a friend though."
He smiled, "Then make sure your brother and the rest of your family know how much you care about them. Even if it's just little jesters, it makes a huge difference if someone's feeling down or lonely."
He had noticed her fiddling with the poinsettia necklace, "That's a pretty necklace." He said softly, "It fits your uniform well."

“If you ever wanted to come back, you could join our family if you wanted. That’s a promise okay?” She blinked and removed the necklace from around her neck. “It’s from Elvira! My asteroid! I found this seed, and buried it and then this pretty plant grew and I grew and now I have this and it makes people happy and it’s great.”
The words were spoken in one breath and she held the pendant out to him, a big smile on her face. “Do you wanna hold it? I think it’ll make you happy too, it did for Ida, and my brother and everyone else who’s held it. Plus…I like when people hold it, it gets prettier. It used to be just clear crystal, but now you can see, it’s almost all colored in!”
She knew it had to mean something…she just had absolutely no idea what that something could be.

Victoria paused when she said if he ever wanted to come back he could join her family. He smiled softly, "Okay, thank you." He said with a nod, "I'll remember that." He hoped he could anyways, the more people had him thinking about his memory the more he wondered why he'd lost anything prior to his joining this side.
He stopped when she offered the necklace to him. "Oh?" He seemed surprised because she had seemed so worried about him, before he got up and moved softly towards her to take the necklace and sit beside her in the most nonthreatening way he could. So he didn't spook her away.
"It looks really pretty," He said before finally taking the necklace, as if he was worried he might break it.
He wasn't expecting when he took the necklace something seemed to change. He was watching something, like a movie reel. He wondered if it was real as he heard the shrill laughter of a younger girl, followed by:
"Hey cut it out!"
"Okay you two, settle down! I can't get you dressed if you're running around like that."
"Let them have some fun, it's Halloween after all."
"Yeah, it's not like they're breaking anything."
There was more laughter, he could tell there was five different voices as he watched four of the girls. The fifth one must have been him? He was struggling though, because it felt like watching a movie, he felt like maybe he should have been there? Was he an actor in this? Something wasn't right, it was happy there was obvious joy there.
"Mine next! Mine next! I want to be Pinkie Pie!"
"I thought you wanted to be Apple Bloom so I could be Babs Seed!"
"Come on, guys, I don't have time to style the wigs differently, I asked you about this twenty times, at least!" He was laughing as he said this. "I knew I should've bought the others just in case. Help me out here!"
"You're on your own big brother~!"
"Yup, nothing we can do about that~! We're going to the party see you tonight!"
There were the twins, they looked younger than him, older than the other two. The youngest and second youngest too. When he finally managed to pull himself from the vision he was biting his lower lip. He looked conflicted, pained; was that his family? Were those his sisters? Something told him they should be. But it didn't feel genuine, it felt so distance. Maybe it wasn't even this life? But when else would they have that show? Was he imprinting something that wasn't actually there?
He realized he was sitting there awkwardly staring at the poinsettia necklace. He shook his head again to try and clear his mind and smiled; "Thank you, Elvira," He said after a moment with a smile which he did his best to hide his pain from, "It's really, useful!" He tried his best not to sound so distressed that instead of happy, not that it wasn't happy and it didn't make him some what thrilled to maybe get a glimpse of his sisters, but it left him with more questions; than answers.

He had seen something too. Elvira watched expectantly, and felt that thrill of excitement as more color filled her pendant. She wondered what he had seen…he didn’t look happy like Arias…or flushed like Ida had…he looked…almost sad.
“What…what’s wrong? What did you see?” There was real worry in her voice and she was watching Victoria carefully. “It’s never…never made someone look sad before…”
But she didn’t think it had been used on someone who…had been lost to chaos before…she had used it on that one Negaverser…and he seemed to have seen something nice, it had made him happier but…
“I didn’t want to make you sad, I’m sorry…” Even if he was saying it was useful…she knew happy people. How many times had Arias tried that overly cheerful voice on her? She knew fakers.

He blinked slowly realizing that his eyes had began to shine with the hints of tears. "No, no it's not . . . . I mean it's okay."
He pulled her into a hug, no matter how watered down it seemed she was trying to help, there were questions but he couldn't search the answers, not if he wanted to keep what he assumed was his family safe; if that was the truth of the thing. "They are happy memories. It's just . . . " he was biting his lip trying to figure out the words.
"It's so far away that it's hard to tell if they're really mine or, if they're even from this life?" He said softly with a small sigh, he wasn't sure what the Chaos did. There were things he wanted answers too but he knew it was better he didn't have them, better to believe that it was all lies. It was better this way. It was for the best to keep himself happy and protect anyone he might have had on that side.
"It's something, I can't . . . search for the answer. Not here. Not now." He said looking at her, "I think . . . it's going to be hard?" He said softly, rubbing the back of his head, "The memories aren't what's making me sad." He finally resolved, "It's the questions I'm left with that I can't have the answers too."
He looked at her, "It's a really good necklace, Elvira." He started chuckling as he softly dabbed at his eyes. "It's just ironic. If I ever come back to your side . . . " He said softly, he wasn't going to tell her wouldn't; for now he was part of the negaverse, nothing had done enough to change his resolve. He was safe here, happy, with friends and he couldn't abandon them. " . . . I'll remember this and search for the answers I need. I promise, and I'll come find you too."
He smiled softly, "We'll solve it together then, and until that time comes; we'll still be friends okay? I'm glad I met you."

Oh no! He was crying…and hugging her, and she was hugging him back and now she was sniffling too, tears leaking from her eyes without her permission. “Of course they’re yours! Did the Negaverse steal your memories?” They could do that? If they really could do that, that was absolutely terrifying and she didn’t even want to think of it. She hugged him as tightly as she possibly could and when she pulled away, her lip was trembling, large tears still falling from her eyes.
“You better come find me…if you can’t remember your real family, I’ll make sure you remember me, I’ll draw you pictures and I’ll tell my mom all about you and they’ll love you, and I’ll teach you sign language and you’ll be able to talk to them, and we’ll be happy, and you’ll love my brother, he’s just the best ever, and it…it’ll be great…”
Elvira gave a mighty sniff and wiped her face with one of her gloves, now looking like an utter mess. “We’ll be here for you…you won’t have to be lonely if you come back okay? We’ll never leave you. I’m really glad I met you too, you’re great!”

He paused when she asked if the negaverse stole his memories, "I - I don't think they were stolen? Per-say." He said softly thinking about the question, "I think . . . I forgot for some reason after they . . . . saved me. . ."
He wasn't sure that was the right word but he couldn't find any other word for it. He hadn't meant to make her cry, he smiled softly after she pulled away and looked softly at the necklace making sure she had it back safely. He didn't want her to lose it.
"Yes, oh, sign language?" He said softly looking at her, it was an interesting thought, "I'd like to learn that, I'm sure it'd be helpful." He'd have to tell Metis next time he met her, about Elvira. . . it would serve if Metis knew about her too. "D-do you mind if I tell another friend of mine, who's on your side, about you?"
He paused, "She promised to help me too, maybe she can catch up with you too. We can solve this together, when I eventually feel like I can come back?"

Elvira nodded. “You can tell whoever you want to about me…And I’ll tell my brother and maybe he can help you too! And I’ll tell him that we’re gonna adopt you and he’ll be very excited. You’ll be able to come home soon, and everything will be okay, you’ll see. Don’t worry Victoria, don’t worry. I’ll take care of you, and you’ll be just fine.”
Elvira’s eyes were sparkling now and she hugged the corrupt again, squeezing him as tightly as she possibly could, trying to assure him that she was telling the truth.
She was going to do whatever she had to in order to help this corrupt find his way home.
“I have to go now, but I’ll see you again sometime soon, okay?” The senshi pulled away and gave a smile. “Be good, and everything will be okay!” She held on to her poinsettia pendant and fastened it around her neck once more, then gave a wave and ran.
Arias had to be told about this. They had to find a way to help this senshi…no matter what.
