Welcome to Gaia! ::

The powdered routine was the easiest to settle back into. Even with the new expectations she carried as an eternal, energy quotas were too easy to meet. Amphitrite had reasoned long ago how much easier it was when she played up her charm, and she'd only gotten more more adept at using it over time.

Which left her more than enough time to refine her skills in areas that still.. required some more refinement.

She had gotten more adept at pulling starseeds, that was true. That much Amphitrite could handle now without vividly calling her experiences at the hands of Leucite and others, which with years between herself and the life she'd all but forgotten, she knew full well how silly it was.

Everything else involving starseeds was still... a little tricky. She hadn't used any to power herself in a pinch yet. She'd used them as pawns, but never for torture. (Although that time she'd flushed one down the toilet had been rich; she still chuckled when she thought about it.) Collecting them was fine, but utilizing them - and knowing it needed work, here in the heart of the park in the dead of night with a drunken man, no better time than the present.

She'd had the foresight to drain and gag him before plunging her hand into his chest, trying to maintain her composure as she gave his starseed an almost tentative squeeze.

When she felt the prickle of an order aura on the edge of her periphery, Amphitrite half-expected them to interfere. Sure enough.

She glanced back at the new knight stoically as she tugged the starseed from the man's chest; it was bright in the darkness of the night. Now vacant, the emptied shell of the man's body crumpled to the ground.

"Funny how you people never crop up when you're wanted, " she remarked dryly, toying with the starseed in her fingers, "but always when you're not. - say your 'please' for someone worth saving."
