After the whole... Crystal Palace Strange Woman Everyone Went Monster experience, Lovejoy had decided to lay low for a little bit.
Bea had spent her time not doing much of anything, really. Her mom had pushed her to find a job, which had ended up turning into a failed Etsy experiment (because apparently no one in the world really cared to purchase mutilated-turned-frankensteined stuffed animals, it would seem) which had turned into still not making money which meant Bea knew she would soon be feeling the wrath of her mother raining down on her in the form of the ultimate ultimatum: college or a job.
So instead of dwelling on such serious matters, she'd decided it was finally time to don her frills and boots and wander out into the world as Sailor Lovejoy once more.
Who knew... maybe she'd mirrorwalk herself into a better idea on how to make money fast?
In the meantime, however, she satisfied herself by simply strolling down the street, heels clicking against the pavement as her hands idly tugged at the frills on her skirt.
Nuxaz please give me a title I ran out sad

Theodore had been out and about because he was doing some scouting. Or rather, he'd taken a trip to nega-space via the teleporters at Romano's and was now making his way back from the school to the mall where he could wait for his mistress's shift to end and escort her home.
And by escort he meant take up her passenger seat as she drove them both home.
It would have been easier to request a ride to and from the castle from one of the wolves's in Chase's stupid team but he sought independence and to prove that he was the simply better guardian compared to Silk with how self-sufficient he was.
While he was on his way back towards the mall, a trek that would take up much time, he felt someone approaching him and he froze, pink eyes narrowing until he spotted the source and something tugged in his chest.
A recognition he'd only felt once before when he'd helped...that one boy.
Hmmm.

She saw him before she felt him, the aura so tiny that she'd have missed it had she not noticed the very noticeable hat sitting perfectly atop his furry little head. With a matching bowtie, he was a curious looking cat if she'd ever seen one.
Except... she'd already seen one.
That one.
It was the same cat that had stolen her candy, her birthday candy, once upon a time and the same cat she'd tricked into a dumpster for such thievery. Granted, he didn't necessarily know she was the culprit that had trash-tized him, but...
"You."
Her eyes narrowed and her hands fell on both hips.
"You're the one who stole the candy my mother gave me for my birthday!"

Theodore stayed in place as the girl approached, his eyes narrowed and his little furry nose scrunched up as he tried to place the feeling in his chest. It was different than when he was dealing with senshi of his own faction, but he didn't have much time to think or contemplate because she was shrieking at him.
His reaction was to tense up, eyes wide and he looked like he was about to dart off.
Theodore nearly did but he froze at the accusation and if he were any less dignified he would have hissed at her.
"Candy is meant for the sweet, which you must not be." He snorted.

She saw his eyes widen up and immediately felt a little bad. After all, cats did things on instinct rather than thought, right? Rasputin always behaved however he wanted to, he wasn't like a dog who could be trained and molded to knowing when something was good or bad - maybe this furry feline wasn't much different.
Lowering her voice, she rolled her eyes as she folded her hands across her chest.
"You're not a very nice cat, are you."
It wasn't so much of a question as it was a statement. Then again, she hadn't been very sweet either, so the feline wasn't terribly far off from his stinging observation.
Shoulders shrugged. "S'just gotta ask next time, I would have shared."
As if to prove her point, LJ promptly went digging through her ruffles and fabric to retrieve the makeshift pocket she'd stitched together to wear with her fancy superhero outfit. She'd tried mending it to the actual outfit at one point but had been terrible frustrated when hours of work went poof as the next time she'd powered up the sewn-in piece had disappeared completely.
Out came the trail mix that she'd had a habit of bringing with her on patrol. It was a little less trail and a little more treat - gum, hard candies, chocolate bites and various cookie halves filled the little ziplock bag, which was still half-full from tonight's excursion.
Bending down to one knee, she extended her hand (and the bag) towards the cat in offering. If he wasn't a total selfish snob, maybe he'd leave enough for her to have some too.
"It's Theodore, right?"
It hadn't been hard to remember a cat's name when the cat itself spoke it to you. Officially, the top-hat cat was the second one she'd come across that spoke but the large, mangy thing that had given her the compact hadn't surfaced again, leaving the pink and black Persian the only one she'd ever met more than once.
"LJ. Or Lovejoy. In case you forgot, or whatever."

His nose wrinkled and he thought of saying something curt in return but decided that it wasn't worth his time or dignity to do such a thing. Instead he lifted his chin in a you're not worth my breath in an answer sort of manner.
But the treat bag came out and suddenly his pupils were wide and his tush was in the air wriggling like a cat about to attack. Which, was almost accurate for the way he launched himself forward the second the bag was on the ground.
In no time his face was shoved into the bag, unsightly noises coming from him as he stuffed his face with some snarfing sound. "Hurhagrrrrsnarfhurha." If Lovejoy got even remotely close to him and the treats he was now eating she would have heard growling mixed with that.
When he finally pulled his head out of the bag and looked up at at her his tail was flicking back and forth in a dangerous fashion.
"Lovejoy---" his nose twitched, then his ears and he scampered forward, paws crushing what little remains were still in the bag. "You. The pen. Gimme."ghouliboo you remember the noises Sebastian makes? yeah that's Theodore right now

One second the candy was being offered and in the next, it had been pounced on. LJ nearly shrieked at the sudden ferocity of the rather tame looking cat - who the heck would have known that the striped, top-hatted little gentleman cat would have turned into a furry, greedy gremlin like that?!
She reached down to try to at least adjust the bag but the cat growled at her, clearly having taken possession of her treats for himself.
"H-Hey, that was supposed to be for both of us!"
But Theodore the cat didn't seem to care who the treats were intended for as he snarfed them down all the while making the most horrid sounds she'd ever heard a supposedly domesticated animal make.
And here she'd thought Rasputin was a little jerk!
She was almost ready to be cross with the little fiend for stealing her candy a second time when he suddenly darted forward again, this time asking for her henshin device. Part of her wanted to tell him to scram - he'd done enough damage already, after all - but the other part of her was curious as to why he wanted her to hand it over.
It wasn't like the cat could use it for itself.... right?
Hesitantly, she pulled out her pen and rested it on the ground (notably away from the bag of candy).
"What... are you gonna do?"

"There's still some left," Theodore remarked dismissively, barely paying the trampled candy any sort of attention as he trotted over to her pen. His chin was held high as was his tail and he made a point to look her directly in the eye before he spoke. "You're in for a real treat," he told her, with nothing but utter confidence.
Up the pen was snatched and Theodore tossed it upward, following it in a perfected backflip that included some fancy cat magic and when he landed on his paws, expertly catching said pen in his mouth, he padded over to her and laid it at her feet.
"You need to do that thing only your kind can do," he instructed, because he remembered that from the last boy he'd helped upgrade. "Then you'll be super instead of," he paused, wrinkling his nose, "being basic."

She leaned down and plucked up the pen, which looked suspiciously much newer than the henshin pen she'd just offered him. Not by much but enough to make her wonder if she was being pranked or messed with... after all, this was the cat who stole her candy not once, but twice.
(Even if the second time wasn't technically thievery - just plain 'ol greedy).
"The thing... only my kind can do?"
Was he talking about humans in general? Or was he talking about senshi? It didn't help that he called her basic like some pumpkin spice-loving twit the moment the leaves turned orange but she was more intrigued with the new henshin pen to be bothered with his insults.
It took her a moment to finally register what he was saying - mirrors - he wanted her to walk into a mirror.
Well... that was easy enough, she guessed.
Thankfully, there was a reflection nearby that provided just enough adequate mirroring for her needs. Sure, she had to sort of... break her way inside the small boutique but she didn't really leave that big of a hole in the front door's glass to get to it.
The mirror was entered and the senshi soon returned - this time, feeling just as different as her henshin pen looked.
"What.... what did you to do to me?"
Her gloves were gone and the poofyness of her skirt was replaced by other poof -- it was such a strange, surreal feeling and Lovejoy couldn't help but question what the pussycat had done to make her look like this instead.
"Well, I'm certainly not basic anymore," she muttered quietly.

Theodore studied his handwork from outside the boutique, chest puffing up with pride was he took in her new duds.
"You're super now, duh," he reiterated, shaking his head and muttering something under his breath about kids these days. His tail flicked across the ground and he lifted his paws to straighten out his bow. "I made you better, which isn't hard, but still."
She still didn't compare to his lovely Dia, but she looked pretty nice he supposed.
"Let's celebrate. Take me to get ice cream."

As she made her way back out onto the sidewalk, the black cat seemed to be preening over the fact he'd helped produce... well, a better her, apparently.
She felt stronger, she looked cooler - was this what it felt like to be upgraded? She'd seen other, more powerful senshi during her time in the crystal castle... maybe this was just one step to becoming more like them??
His demand was met with a frown, LJ trying to calculate in her head how many crumpled dollar bills she had shoved down her bodice at that moment. She'd brought candy for her patrol snack and hadn't prepared to spend money on food - much less food for a cat.
Reaching into her fuku, she tugged out the wad and slowly worked to straighten the wrinkled cash out. Nine dollars -- about five more than she expected there to be.
"We gotta share this time, buddy," she huffed, reaching down to pluck the prissy Persian up, generously mindful not to crease his hat in the process. "I only have enough for one but I'll get extra sprinkles if you behave."
She had a feeling that he'd do anything but behave for her but ice cream did sound rather appealing... so down the street she went, money in one hand, talking cat on the other as she sought out the closest ice cream shop she could find.
