Welcome to Gaia! ::

Itsuki knew Zach was too tired after a long shift at work to patrol, and someone needed to help watch over Destiny City! Charybdis was just a child, Sada-chan and Shara-san were busy, Kami had schooling… Boy, life was difficult if you were a human all the time. You had schedules to keep, schooling and jobs and bills. Luckily, Mauvian life was comparatively easier.

That is, until one ran into their Chaos-tainted counterparts.

And so the scene was set, Itsuki having climbed atop a fence right next to a very fancy haberdasher - a hat shop to rival all hat shops in Destiny City. They had a waiting list and the finest reviews on Yelp that one could imagine (for hats that expensive, they better have five-star reviews!) Itsuki, being a cat, never really thought too much about hats in general. They would squish his delicate, fuzzy ears. However, not all Mauvians were of the same opinion.

One was most definitely sitting in front of the window, perhaps gazing at the display of top hats for sale. They were dark in color and Chaotic in aura. Itsuki had never met someone of the opposite side, though Themisto said he had. They give me the creeps was the description beyond having a dark star emblazoned on their forehead.

With the moon high in the sky, Itsuki unconsciously puffed up as he approached the other cat.

“Nya-san, you’re just looking, right? You’re not causing any trouble?”

Oh! He was being asked for his name. Best to remember his manners!

"Watashi wa Itsuki desu!"

Something must've happened to Nya-san to make his signature so... Chaotic. It was sad, really, that Chaos even took the Mauvians to their side. Poor Nya-san... Itsuki felt terrible for him, now that he really thought about it. That dark star on Nya-san's forehead should be lighter. How sad!

"Nya-san, what happened to you? Maus aren't supposed to be this way, are they? Nya-san, what is your name? Do you need a hat, Nya-san?"

The questions were annoying, no doubt, with Theodore's puffing and hissing response. "Nya-san, I know some people who could probably help you! You don't have to cause trouble!"

Itsuki's ears visibly drooped. At least he learned what this cat called himself - Theodore. It was a shame Chaos had done something to Theodore. He was a very well-dressed Mau! But this was not the way Maus should be. "Demo, Theo-san... your power doesn't feel right! Are you sure nothing happened to you?"

Taking a few steps forward, as Itsuki had never seen a corrupted Mauvian before, the lilac point continued. "Nya-san is what I call Maus that I don't know the name of! But I will call you Theo-san, now. Theo-san, I'm sure we can find some way to fix this! I know lots of senshi who have helped people! Then you can be... even more perfect!"

Yes, wouldn't that be great?

Itsuki fluffed himself up in response, wondering how on Earth he'd managed to offend this Mauvian so much! Really, he was just trying to be polite! In fact, he was using the proper, respectful honorifics when referring to Theodore. How could that be so bad?

"There's nothing wrong with me, Theodore-san!" came the amended statement, Itsuki placing a hand on his fluffy chest. "Mauvians are not supposed to be filled with dark energy like you! Don't you remember? So something must have happened to you, but don't worry! We can fix it! And you can be all better~! I have lots of tomodachi who can help, too! Don't worry, Theodore-san. If you just come with me, then I can call some friends and we can help you!"

Maybe someday soon, Chaos could be purged from Theodore and he can be an incredibly fancy purified cat!

"Demo, err... I mean..." Theodore suddenly being in his face didn't bother Itsuki as much as realizing how rude his accidental accusations were. "...I mean... It's not your fault, Theodore-san! You and your senshi are just... just... victims! And we're working hard to make sure Chaos goes away so we can all live in peace! And then... then you can be very fancy in your lovely hat! In fact, maybe you could have a whole collection of hats!"

Leaning back on his haunches, Itsuki gestured widely with his tiny arms. "And hats for your senshi, too! And... it's Japanese, Theodore-san! I can teach you some, if you like! You're fancy, and it's a fancy language, so~"

Clearly Itsuki wasn't getting the hint. "It's our job to help people, Theodore-san! As Mauvians, isn't that what we're supposed to do?"

The low growling made Itsuki swallow in nervousness. Well, it looked as though his attempt at helping was more offensive than anything else, and before the lilac point knew it, claws where baring down on him. With a yelp, Itsuki dug in his claws to get more traction to run away, but Theodore managed to slice out a clump or two of fur before his target could build momentum.

"GOMEN NASAIIIII---!!" came the shriek, Itsuki pawing at Theodore with his hind legs to get away, all the while shouting apologies in Japanese. These would likely fall on deaf (and offended) ears. "Gomen nasai gomen nasai gomennasaiiiiii-----!!"

Waaaaahhh!! Wailing, the lilac point had fear struck into his heart. Fear of top hats and candy-colored bowties. His wailing began to fade with distance as the cat sped down the sidewalk and around the corner, not wishing to stop until he reached his home with Themisto. NOTE TO SELF - CHAOS CATS ARE VERY BAD. Or, at least, fancy ones were.
