Welcome to Gaia! ::

The moon was high in the sky, casting blue light over the city that never quite slept. Even now, half passed midnight, the city's nightlife was bustling. Cars still traveled the streets despite whispering of gang wars and monsters, headlights glowing brightly against the cool pavement. Perhaps the city had gotten used to the war it didn't really understand, and decided, collectively, to continue life as always. Kallichore appreciated it that way.

War was no place for ordinary folk. Theirs was a life of graduations and new jobs, significant others or solidarity, perhaps marriage, perhaps co-habitation. They did not step foot onto warzones, nor did they know their city was a sprawling battleground. They were meant to live the way they wished to, without the burden of supernatural powers and past lives and people to protect.

No, that was their mantle, whether they asked for it or not.

It was this thought that lead Kallichore on her zigzagging patrol route through the downtown area. Negaverse agents were always skittering about in some capacity, though her aura seemed to drive them back. Breezing from roof to roof, business to business, the senshi had zeroed in on what must have been a Knight's signature atop a cluster of buildings with shared walls - part of Destiny City's older architecture. Boutiques and yoga studios inhabited these old halls, apartments in the floors overhead.

It was here that Kallichore had stopped, observing that it was, indeed, a knight. Saturn, if she had to guess, simply based on the dark color of his coat. Just like senshi, some were more personable than others, and there was no way to tell beforehand. With a cough, upon landing on the far side of the rooftop, she introduced herself.

"Good evening. I... hope I'm not a bother. I'd hoped to run into a few Knights on my patrol. My name is Kallichore. I was hoping for a few moments of your time. I've some questions to ask."

Kallichore could appreciate direct questioning. This Knight seemed suspicious, and rightfully so. The senshi was undisturbed, not offended. Sweeping loose hair behind her ear and she took a step forward. "Regretfully, I know very little about Knights, and since we share a war, I decided it was time to rectify this issue. I had written a primer many years ago to assist new White Moon Senshi since we lack a real training program or centralized leadership. If you would indulge me, I have many questions for Knights to better understand them."

Folding her hands before her, she continued.

"I seek to understand how your signet rings function, especially since Sailor Alya has issued an app allowing cross-communication. I know your banners are planets or stars such as Polaris, but aside from those points, I'm woefully ignorant. I'd like to learn more so I can be more effective during battle. It's of no doubt it will eventually come to that. This war has been going on long enough, and... all things are cyclical."

Or so she had been shown by the cosmos itself.

"Your time and knowledge would be greatly appreciated."

Kallichore nodded once, filing things away in her mind to properly pose the questions she wished to have answers to. This Knight seemed the type of person to dislike wasting time on frivolities. "I'll be as succinct as I can. Thank you for your time."

Tapping her chin, the senshi began. "From where does your signet ring originate? And how is it able to send messages? The Guardian Cats grant us our cellphones with connections to their networks when we awaken for the first time, so I'm curious to know where your ring comes from and how it operates, especially now that cross-communication is enabled. Additionally, is there any unified banner under which you operate? The cats don't seem to mentor you in any way, though if I'm incorrect in that assumption, I apologize."

There was so much to ask, so much she wanted to know in order to work more closely with the only other allied faction in the war, but she mustn't waste anyone's time.

"You draw your powers from a Wonder, a physical place in space. That much I'm aware of thanks to Valhalla, but I've not visited a Wonder. Do you in particular feel a connection to it? If so, could you describe it? And is there something the senshi faction could do to facilitate better cooperation with yours?" Maybe that was enough, for a start.
