Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nix was still getting his legs, so to speak, with being a senshi, so spent a lot of time each day rather literally just running around. It was terribly exciting, and he hadn't had too many bad encounters yet.

At least, not since getting powers. Before that, well...best to not dwell on that.

He decided today to practice...jumping. He was rather unquestionably frog boy here, so figured that made sense. Those feet were pretty unmistakable. Maybe he could figure out how to stick on stuff like a treefrog?

It wasn't actually intentional, but he did kind of stick. His sash thing got snagged in a particularly large branch of a tree he'd jumped into, and was flailing to get that off when he sensed...something? He thought it was an order signature, but honestly, he didn't have much experience, so paused and waited, to see what came up.

Granted, if anyone looked up, it was hard to miss his almost shiny white self.

Nix blushed some when the guy on the ground blurted "what?" as he looked up. The dangling senshi waved somewhat awkwardly and smiled. He was very glad this wasn't someone actually dangerous to him.

"Well, you see," Nix started to answer, waving a hand lightly, "I was practing, uh..." he trailed off then when the other senshi declared he was going to get him free. His mouth hung open slightly, a little startled by it, so he didn't declare he could get himself free before, well...

Now there were two of them. He couldn't help but let out a mirthful little laugh. "Well, that makes me feel better!" he said, and swayed some to try to end up a bit closer before sticking out a green-gloved hand. "I'm Nix! Hang out here much?"

He was pretty sure he could dislodge himself alright (he'd done it at least twice already, in similar situations), but since they were already both dangling, why not say hi first?

"Nice view, though," Nix replied cheerily. "Lots of...leaves and stuff." He nodded, and looked critically at Cor, rubbing his chin. "Well, if you hadn't come up, I was gonna start swinging until I broke something in the tree or popped off..." He reached back, and flailed his hand around a bit. "Something will give sooner or later!"

He paused, looked back. "Or I guess I could try to climb back up. I mean, I've only been stuck in a tree a couple times. I was sort of trying to jump up here, ya see. If I can jump like a super sayan, I might as well be accurate about it, right?" He rocked and very tenuously got a grip on some tree above him. "Still needs work."

This whole situation was actually really funny to Nix, but he didn't wanna upset this new senshi--he thought this one was older than all the others he'd met. An actual grown-up! Couldn't make a bad impression right now...Not that starting off stuck in a tree was a good impression, but he was certain laughing at having a tree buddy would be a worse one.

"Oh, magic?" Nix asked. "Hadn't thought to try! Guess I could, but...I dunno that it'll help here much."

He looked around for a moment, considering, then twisted to properly face Cor Caroli. He grinned and said, "Watch this!" before opening his mouth and...shooting a long slightly ethereal tongue out. Well, it actually appeared directly in front of his mouth, but it sure looked like he went "mlem!" and a tongue shot out from that angle.

The tongue went forward, hit a branch above Cor with a BAP, and then it went taut as the tongue strained against the branch, until it broke off with a crack, and sailed back at Nix...who actually managed to grab the stick before the tongue disappeared. "Yeah! Woo~! Though, uh...I guess that didn't actually help much, did it? Heh..."

He rocked in place, considering his options. Yeah, definitely just wiggle free, it'll totally work. "Oh well, frog tongue's still cool~ Now to do it the hard way!" The rocking grew more deliberate...

"No, I don't have one," Nix replied, apparently not getting the tongue implications, as he frowned quizzically. "What's that got to..." he trailed off, and shook his head. "Whatever! I don't think my tongue is strong enough to break this branch, and this lets me..." he paused his statement to rock forward, and wedge the branch in a split out further from him. It slipped, but it let him pull himself at a better angle to swing. "Do other stuff!"

He grinned triumphantly, and did that a few more times, before actually getting lose from what snagged him! He let out a triumphant whoop, which quickly turned into an, "Ohcra--" as he nearly toppled down below, but snagged a still-attached branch in his hand this time, losing his branch assistant in the process.

With a big sigh of relief, he said, "There! That wasn't so bad! Your turn!" then gave Cor a thumbs up.

"Oh no!" Nix gasped as Cor started to tumble down. He was a bit too far away to do anything, although he did try doing another frog tongue grab. Missed, though.

Not that it would work, no way would it hold a senshi's weight.

He winced with each bounce in sympathy, although held on for the moment. "Yeah," he agreed. "Time to go down! This part's easy, if you aim right!" He hesitated a moment longer, looking down, then sprang into action, hopping off one branch to land on another below, then again, at level with Cor. "Glad I don't have a huge ribbon like another Senshi I met," he said with a laugh. "This would be even harder!"

He continued his way down, only missing branches, well, about half the time, but managed to not shout his surprise each time, and didn't get stuck or face-smacked again!

It was only a hop or two more before they were on the ground, and Nix hopped (the height of a normal human) up and down a few times and said, "Yeah! We did it!"

He considered a moment and said, "It was...Minchir, he has, uh...daylight powers? Yeah, that's it." He nodded, as if confirming to himself that he was right. Nix hadn't seen too many senshis just yet, all he really knew is that his senshi outfit was a bit different from the others he'd seen. The idea was there--but nobody else had quite the...close-fitting getup that he had.

He stood triumphantly, fists on his hips and froggy feet slightly apart. "No tree will stand in my way for long!"

Goofy, sure, but he was entertained...and this was definitely a senshi who was not disillusioned with the world.
