Welcome to Gaia! ::

Why am I out here again? Caliban thought to himself as he wandered around the city for a bit. Key was out for the night, and he had just gotten done with another shift, and he had been planning on just going home and relaxing, waiting for Key to come back but something had told him that he should power up.

And so here he was, though he wasn't sure why he felt the need to power up. Still he would wander around until he found... whatever it was.

And after another minute of walking, he felt a familiar type of signature. "Squire... wonder what they're up to." He muttered to himself as he walked in the direction that it was coming from.

Eventually he found the squire that it belonged to, and well, they certainly stood out. They weren't hard to miss. As he got closer to them he yelled out a "Hey!" So as to not startle the squire by getting right next to them and trying to talk. Though they would be surprised either way. Especially since the squire seemed to be looking at something, though Caliban couldn't tell what it was.

When he was finally close enough though, Caliban spoke again, this time in a regular voice. "So uh... I felt your signature and I was curious so I'm here... now." He was really, really bad at small talk. "Super Senshi Caliban of Sealing at your service if you need any help though." Yeah, he totally didn't sound like an idiot.

"Erytheia of Cosmos. It's nice to meet you. I don't think I've talked to any other Cosmos knights one on one..." He could have, but he didn't remember. Though the knight he talked to most was Gorner... He wondered if they were all space-rainbow themed though.

"Uh, yeah. I can try to help. Though my magic has a lot more to do with sealing things away. But I haven't tried unsealing things..." Would he be able to do that? On his moon he thought he saw in some illustrations the ability to seal away and unseal things. Though since he avoided his moon so much he wasn't sure if he would have the ability to do it himself. And with that thing still there, there still might be a curse to where he couldn't unseal things.

Caliban walked closer to the Erytheia and took a quick look at the lock. A feeling of familiarity washed over him. He didn't recognize the lock, but more the fact that it seemed to be just the type of thing that he felt as though he had done before... but this one was clearly different and not connected. Or at least connected in a way he could see. From what he looked at, it would have his symbol on it if any of the priests from his planet had done it. This lock only had the mysterious words that the squire was having trouble with.

He gave the other a wry smile. "I'm sorry. I don't think my magic can help in this situation. But I can try to help solve the riddle?" He felt bad for possibly getting the other's hopes up, but this seemed to be a personal item, something that was very important to the other. Perhaps it was meant to be unsealed only by Erytheia.

Caliban felt guilty about not being able to help the other, and a bit annoyed at how the other had phrased it. Honestly he could have just told the squire that it was his problem and then left.

This was why he didn't like talking to people.

But he managed to calm himself down, figuring that the squire hadn't meant it in that way. He took a look at the line that the squire was talking about. "When you have overcome what only might..." It was a weird line, and he was glad that he didn't have to deal with this sort of stuff as a senshi. "Well, if we were to look at it from a more literal angle, then maybe it's talking about might as in some sort of strength? If we want to go with the... less literal route, then maybe it's about something that seems like it only be overcome with might, but actually can be defeated in another way? That's all I can think of off the top of my head." Maybe if he had a few hours he could think of something else, but that wasn't going to happen.

Caliban nodded. He was certainly glad he didn't have to deal with this or any other ancestor stuff. Okay well, he had his own problems on his moon, but at least the threat there was physical rather than a riddle. Even if the latter was probably easier to deal with.

"Well, what about 'might' as in you 'might' be able to do something." He rubbed his head. "Not good with words. I don't talk to strangers that much. I guess what I mean is it's in terms of you 'might' be able to overcome something. Like it could happen in the future maybe? Not sure if I'm making any sense. I don't think I can come up with anything else, sorry." And Caliban was. He didn't like to see someone struggling like this, especially with something so important as their history, or at least the history of their line.

He had seen the unintelligible books on his planet that he had hoped he could one day desperately read, but there was nothing. As though they had wanted to make sure no one else could read their writing.

Caliban jumped back at the sudden excitement and subsequent cracking that had followed the Knight's exclamation. He really wasn't used to such enthusiasm. Caliban took a moment to look at the knight and the lock and then nodded. "Uh, you're welcome I guess." Did he really do anything though? He didn't know, but the other at least seemed happy about it.

It was time to call it a night though. "All right, well, I'll see you around sometime then." Caliban said, giving the other a nod and starting the walk back to his apartment. He supposed it was better than getting into another fight at least.
