Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cor Caroli was getting the fidgets. He wanted to go up to space again; the cooldown on traveling had expired at least a week ago, but little things kept getting in the way. Either he felt Chaos presences near his usual power-up spot, or he was busy that night, or some other dumb thing happened (like the time he just straight-up fell asleep before patrolling). It was getting kind of annoying, really.

In any case, he went to his usual power-up spot, and he was very sure that he felt someone else there upon powering up. Much to his relief, it was a smallish Order aura- a basic senshi out and about. Surely, they could use some accompaniment in case something big and nasty came about? Chuckling a bit to himself, Cor Caroli bounded across the rooftops towards the aura and got on their level, hoping he wouldn't accidentally land on or run into them in the process.

"Well, hello right back!" Cor waved from one rooftop away, then finally descended onto the street. As he walked up, he glanced at the coffee shop that Echo seemed to be eyeballing. "Oh, hey, I've been here before. It's not a bad place. Favorite of yours?" He took a sniff of the coffee-scented air. Yep, that was the stuff. Granted, he was going to have a big bias towards Mocha Mountain no matter what, but this place wasn't bad at all, if he was remembering correctly. "Any reason you patrol here? Just wondering." It was a spontaneous, off-the-cuff question, but he thought the answer might illuminate a few things for him.

"Makes sense," Cor Caroli said, nodding. "Must make patrolling easy, huh? Sounds like you lucked out a bit, kind of. Most kids in Destiny City can't seem to get away from their parents for a second, powered or not. Then again, given all the weird stuff that happens, who can blame the parents for being overprotective?" And most of that weird stuff was his faction's fault. He knew that. But the Negaverse had to take some responsibility for their part in the shenanigans.

The question he received in response made him pause for a moment, as though he'd forgotten what he came there for. "What am I doing here...? Oh yeah! I was gonna find a nice alley or something and go up to space for a while. My planet." A beat pause. "Say, what's your name? I'm Cor Caroli, Senshi of Will. I'm going up to a planet that shares my name, and if I'm not mistaken, every senshi has one."

The girl seemed a bit out of sorts, at least as Cor Caroli saw it. He had a vague feeling that he was being judged, somehow, when he mentioned patrolling being easier for Echo. Still, he brushed it off when her demeanor changed. It seemed he'd hit on something that caught her attention. "Nice to meet you, Echo," Cor said, then quickly moved to address the space questions. "That's right! I'm really planning on going up there, maybe tomorrow if not tonight. I've been up there a few times before, and I've seen some really interesting stuff. Did you know that going up to space gives you visions of your past life? It's hard to believe it until you see it.

"As for what it's like... well, every planet is different. Mine is this sleek, high-tech place full of laboratories. They were doing research on 'will-reading technology,' which I guess means making stuff work with the power of people's minds." Cor couldn't help the pride creeping into his voice. His planet was cool. It was what he was sticking around for. He'd rather be the one communing with the Great Will than whatever the Negaverse would do with him, anyway.
