Welcome to Gaia! ::

While Erato was glad that Bermuda seemed to be a little more comfortable begin powered up neither of them were all too keen on it. Arsinoe and Mag Mell had said they needed to do it more so they tried but both of them still walked around like there was something awful around every corner.

To be fair, there was most of the time.

But Erato knew they needed to be better. Even if the thought of running into more of the monsters or more of the Negaverse terrified him. He didn't know how he'd been chosen to do this. He was way too soft for this whole thing. Even Bermuda looked more like he belonged here, like he could do something about the fight they were supposed to be in.

"Can you sense anything? I'm still terrible at this..."

"I know, I'm sorry I don't mean to be ...." He bit his lip knowing his nerves were probably not helping his friends at all. How was Bermuda supposed to learn anything when he was just keeping an eye out on him and shushing him every time he jumped at a shadow? Sometimes he didn't quite know why Bermuda put up with him. He was probably just a mess to be around like this.

Erato fiddled with the edge of his coat before he felt hands on his shoulders. Looking up he was ready to apologize again but snapped his mouth shut when his friend started to speak.

"It's really hard not to think about anything." He murmured softly but did take the deep breath as he was told. He reached up and set his hands lightly on Bermuda's arms, trying to steady himself. He kept still for a minute or two until something started to feel, off, "I think .... a couple blocks up. Something feels ... wrong."

----------------------------

Lalande leaned against the cool bricks in an alley to keep out of sight while he braided his hair. He had no idea why this much hair was necessary and spared a glare in Cursa's direction for how easy hers was to deal with. She just had a rattail to deal with while he had a giant mess of hair. Once it was braided and secure he huffed, dropping the braid.

"Right ...Now that that's over with we can get on with our night." He knew there were a couple of white rats a couple blocks away but wasn't sure Cursa would want to mess with them. She'd had a long day at rehersal.

He on the other hand had dealt with a shitty day and would have liked nothing more than to ruin someone elses.

Erato had a feeling that Arsinoe would have some words for him even if they didn't have to call for back up. The older senshi seemed to know how bad he was at this whole thing and had said he'd prefer if he didn't go out without someone more experienced.

He was at least out with Bermuda though. And Afton wouldn't let anything happen to him. "Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll be something we can take care of too ... and I can try to help."

----------------------------

"So I'm supposed to carry around scissors so when I power up I can get rid of this nonsense?" He shook his head slightly. "Maybe I'll get lucky when I get stronger and it'll be more useful than just this giant mess."

Or he'd have to start really planning his powering up so he could deal with his hair every time.

"You mean the two goodie-goodies coming our way?" He did not get why she still insisted on calling him Lala. "Always up for a good fight. Plus if we can get either energy or powered starseeds we'll get brownie points from the Bosses."

"Yea, yea I can do that." Erato nodded, knowing he could at least summon the phone quickly. That had been one thing both Arsinoe and Sumi had been adamant he learn how to do. Being able to call either of them when necessary was something he was likely to need and the older senshi wanted to make sure he could keep himself safe even if he was alone.

"You think we can take them? I mean ... we have been training ..." And they weren't going to get anything but frowns from their friends if they couldn't learn to hold their own.

"Look, you might have had something fun to do. My night was going to be boring. I'm going to take whatever fun I can get." Even if he didn't always like getting in fights he did like the idea of proving that he was useful to Uvarovite and Tourmaline. They believed he was useful so he needed to be so. Plus getting extra energy might mean Uvarovite gave him the weekend off.

"If we can feel them they can probably feel us. But we can always find somewhere out of sight to stay. Maybe we can get the drop on them that way." Cursa could a little easier than he could but if she could knock one flat he could take care of the other one.
