Welcome to Gaia! ::

While it might have been faster to carry Itsuki, Lacrimosa was big on letting him do things for himself. He was his own person (of sorts) after all, not just a cat, so allowing him to walk when they had the free time wasn't a big deal. All bets were off in the middle of dangerous situations of course but thankfully they wouldn't have to worry about that tonight.

Guardian Cats sure were something.

"While you are faster, stronger, and can jump higher then as a civilian, you aren't indestructable. As a basically ranked senshi your new boost in power is weaker then mine and I am weaker then an Eternal ranked senshi. Which means in terms of battle I'd over power you but Eternal senshi could kick both of our butts."

A little bit more explaination of power couldn't hurt, it was good information to have.

Though it was really the tip of the iceburg in the way of information and they did have more to cover. But at least Itsuki had given her the most important information; senshi identities and how to return to civilian form.

"It's okay Itsuki, we'll make sure Hypatia walks away with all the information she needs. And a way to contact me if she has more questions." Or needed a refresher. "I think before we continue on with the information, though," a smile over at the newly awakned senshi.

"Do you have any questions, Hypatia? Or is there anything specific you'd like to learn next?" Perhaps it was best to take this all at Hypatia's speed, instead of possibly overloading or confusing her.

"Your power comes from your starseed!" chirped the cat, lifting his fuzzy arms to place toebeans on his fluffy chest. "Your starseed is like your soul. It's very important to keep it safe, but it's also the source of your power~ A senshi may not know their magical power on their own, but that's what we neko are for! Mauvians like me can always tell you~"

Lifting up a fluffy arm, Itsuki started to twirl his paw. "Hypatia-san's magic is called Reef Drop! Just call the name and twirl your hand, like this! Your water magic can heal people's wounds! Very important if someone gets hurt! We're not injured right now, but you can still use it on me or yourself if you want to practice! It's important to practice your magic, because the Negaverse can strike at any time."

Nodding to himself, Lacrimosa also brought up some excellent points. It was so helpful to have someone else experienced in Senshi Business nearby - Lacrimosa could point out something Itsuki might have missed. "All senshi have three levels of power: basic, super and eternal! If you close your eyes, Hypatia-san, you can sense Lacri-san and I! Lacri-san will feel more powerful than I will! This is because she is a Super Senshi! When you've trained enough, we Mauvians can unlock part of your starseed, which lets you have more power! You can sense anyone with magical powers while in this form! Give it a try!"

Another strange thing to say, but Hypatia found that the phrase seemed... 'right' somehow, so as a test, she did as suggested, and held out her hand as if balancing a ball on it and said calmly, "Reef drop."

The effect was immediate: Water coalesced out of the air and formed, well, drop of water. Just one that was bigger than a softball. She lifted it lightly, and stared at its gentle glow. A fish appeared from nowhere within, swam across the ball, and was gone again, causing her to blink in surprise. "Huh. That's cool," she said softly, and experimentally placed it on her other hand before touching it to her arm, where the ball deformed to flow around the spot she pressed. "Oh, it's warm!" She smiled, and held out her hand, gently glowing ball of water still upon it, in the direction of Lacrimosa to show it and allow it to be touched--if the senshi chose.

"I think," she said thoughtfully, "I can sort of tell about this 'aura' thing standing right next to you, but, I guess I'll just have to practice with paying attention to that stuff now, hmm?"

"It definitely helps to pay attention to energy signatures as it could mean avoiding trouble for yourself, especially if you feel like you aren't prepared for the possible battle or a possible boot to your butt." As Itsuki had learned himself, in regards to not paying attention. "Patroling with someone, be it someone your same power level or above, can also be a life saver. I would suggest a group if you can manage it, but one other person is better then alone."

She was just going to pretend that she followed her own advice.

"As Itsuki mentioned, you can download a distress signal app which is handy on the off chance things go south, but I believe there is also a Senshi primer and a Negaverse database on your phone as well. I'll admit I don't think I've gotten to either of them yet myself, though it is on my list, so I am unsure how up to date they are but old information is still good information to have. There's also a GPS function which allows you to scan for signatures but I've also not played with that either."

Which, in hindsight, she probably should have but these things in time right? Hopefully it didn't make her look bad.

"Oh! You can also register senshi in your phone with a snap of your camera as well. Which is super helpful in making sure you can connect with other senshi and communicate. I suppose you can also just trade information, or have someone put it in for you," there was a glance to Itsuki at that since she was certain that was how she and Themisto had ended up in each other's phones. "But letting the phone do all the work makes it a ton easier."

As she had talked, Lacrimosa had pulled out her phone and done exactly as she had described which had effectively put Hypatia in her phone. Once finished she showed her the screen with a small smile.

"And just like that, you're in my phone~"

Which, aside from home world travel, covered everything else Itsuki had made a point to mention. So what was left?

"I think we have just youma and the Negaverse to fill her in on? I feel like we covered most everything else." A gloved hand moved to rest a finger against her chin in thought for a moment. "Though there is something else I would like to add at the end of everything."

[[Insert basic stuff about the Negaverse, Chaos and youma, and how to team up with other senshi to defeat them!!! BLAH BLAH BLAH]]

Itsuki nodded with enthusiasm, little fuzzy arms waving about as he spoke. "Hai! Your starseed atunes to your homeworld and you can travel there by accessing the app and concentrating on the music of your homeworld. You'll understand when you feel it. Everyone's homeworld is different, so you might want to travel with a friend, just in case! I could go with you if you wanted~ It's really neat to explore the realms of the past, but you might not know what you will find when you go!"

It had been a long night as it was, and while Itsuki was brimming with energy on the regular, he was getting quite tired. Awakening someone, producing a henshin pen, keeping two senshi signatures cloaked and teaching a newbie senshi the basics had worn him out. With a yawn, the Mau started to stretch.

"Gomen nasai, Hypatia-san! We interrupted your dinner... Would it be okay if we helped get you more dinner? Or maybe escort you home? That way, Chaos will be less likely to find you~"

There was quite a lot of information for Caitlin to absorb. Some of it, of course, she'd already guessed or surmised. And there was much more to read on the phone, but for the moment, she couldn't help but nod her agreement. "Yes, this has been...quite the experience. I wouldn't mind some new food, but just heading home is probably for the best."

She smiled to each of them, and said, "Thank you for all the information, I'm sure I'll come up with more questions later. For now, though, I think this is about all my poor brain can take for one night."

She figured that chances were good it would take her a couple of days before any of this really seemed, well, real. She'd power up here and there, experiment with things, but having control of magic? Secret identities? The world was an even crazier place than she'd guess.

And goddamn was it exciting.
