There was nothing quite like the feeling of standing directly on the edge of a very tall building. On the corner. Balanced perfectly.
On one hand.
At least, that's what Nix figured about it. He was, he knew, more than a little crazy for enjoying this sort of thing...but the simple rush of swaying slowly right there was a surprisingly good way to calm down after a run-in with...less than favorable sorts.
It wasn't meditation, exactly, and definitely not yoga, but he was still holding pretty still, mind wandering at random, and not at all thinking about what might be approaching.

The lieutenant watched the Senshi for a while, originally. Was he going to jump? On the one hand, if he was, it was one less need to get her hands dirty. On the other-- Well, she'd have to go out of her way to find someone else if she was going to meet her quota, and Vanadinite was all about efficiency. An eyebrow quirked when he went on one hand, dangerously balanced on the edge of the building. She'd have to give him some credit, it took guts to do ... whatever it was that he was doing.
If she were a Captain it would've been the opportune moment to teleport directly behind him, but since she was lacking in that particular skill, she scaled the building's fire escape instead when she decided it was time to make her move. She was sure that he would feel her power signature as she approached, so there wasn't much of an 'element of surprise' to be had. Her bright pink heels clack clacked on the rooftop and she called her giant, stupid ring to two fingers on her right hand as she curled it onto a fist.
"Hey moron," she called out to him, her pace quickening. "Didn't any smarter Senshi teach you not to make our job easier by hanging out on the ledge of a building?"

As it happened, Nix had kiiind of zoned out, so he hadn't thought about the aura until she'd said something. His legs twitched a bit, the only evidence of his surprise.
Silently, he admonished himself for the lapse in attention, but outwardly, he rocked his head down to look at the Lieutenant on the roof with him. His balance shifted, but he didn't actually stop balancing like a lunatic right away.
"Oh hey," he replied with a sardonic grin. "Didn't any smarter murdermonkeys ever tell ya to watch who you pick a fight with?"
Nix grinned, his tongue peeking between his lips...an odd sort of smile, to be sure, even if he weren't upside-down. It was his way of subtly threatening his opponents...not that this one would have any idea of that.
"No, I s'pose they wouldn't, huh?" he put his other hand down as he said that. "Cuz some time ya might win, right?"

Vanadinite's clenched fists began to loosen the more the Senshi spoke. She stared at him for a moment, her upper lip curling slightly in disgust. Was this really what the Negaverse was up against? A bunch of children running around in ridiculous outfits, using words like 'murdermonkeys' and sticking their tongues out stupidly... The entire thing made her roll her eyes so hard that if they could fall out of her head, they would have.
"I'm sorry... Am I supposed to be intimidated by," she motioned up and down the length of him with her right hand in a flourish, "all of this?"
The Lieutenant, losing patience rather quickly, closed the gap between the two of them. She grabbed a fistful of his lily pad-like collar and yanked in an attempt to throw him to the gravelly rooftop.

"Maybe you shou--" he started, and then was yanked...as he hadn't really made any move to get away. "Woah!" He didn't resist being pulled away from his admittedly silly starting pose, although as she went to toss him, he suddenly declared, "Surprise!" and stuck his tongue out at her, even as he slung through the air, causing a bigger, ethereal tongue to lash out, straight at her.
At this distance, it would be hard to miss, and he intended to use the throw momentum to pull her along with him, after giving her a good, solid bash.
Big Tongue, sticky grab
Nix mimes the action of using his tongue, creating a large ethereal frog tongue. This tongue can either shoot a straight line 15 feet away striking with the force of a hard punch which can leave a bruise if the target player desires, or take the form of a large licking tongue which can make contact with something not more than 2 feet away. In both cases, Nix may choose to have the tongue be either sticky or poisonous. If it is sticky, the strength of his tongue is such that whatever he grabs, the smaller of the two objects (Nix and his target) will get pulled as his tongue retracts. If it is poisonous and hits an organic target they will suffer the effects of rapid poisoning (which can include dizziness, fatigue, nausea and vomiting) for thirty seconds.

Vanadinite did not expect the giant, sticky tongue. Should she have? Considering he was decked out in a frog outfit... Maybe. But that was neither here nor there when she was being pummeled by the Senshi's magic. First, it hit her and knocked the wind out of her lungs, causing her to gasp for a deep, desperate breath. Then just as she thought that was the extent of his attack, she was stuck and being thrown to the ground right there with him.
As she crashed to the ground she grunted loudly, taking a moment to catch her breath as she held onto her ribs with her left hand. Yes, they definitely felt bruised. Did he just lick her with a giant tongue?
The pink-haired lieutenant was growing less patient and more angry with every single thing the Senshi did.
"You little twerp," she said between clenched teeth. She grabbed at him a second time, trying to haul him back up to standing as she stood back up herself. Her strength as a Negaverse agent always astounded her, she mused as she shoved him. Her new plan? Get him back to the edge of the building so she could do what she should've done from the get go- throw him and just be done with it.

Nix was...actually rather entertained by this fight, as probably stupid as that was, and the utterance of “twerp” actually made him laugh out loud. He actually allowed himself to be lifted up again, grinning maliciously at her. “You feel so strong and superior, don’t you?” He asked, just shy of an openly mocking tone.
Then, not waiting for a reply, he used her proximity and kicked hard and fast, not bothering to do any fancy maneuvering.

If Vanadinite could have literally punched the grin off of his face, she would have. Over his antics, she was ready to really throw down and let him have it - but he was much quicker than she expected.
Before she had a chance to react, a ridiculous froggy foot kicked out at her. She stumbled back a step or two, winced, and moved back towards him with enough speed and momentum to throw first a jab to his side then her ringed-fist aimed for his jaw.
Vanadinite had enough, and she wouldn't indulge him with small talk and quips anymore. She was out for blood -- or starseeds -- either would do.

Nix dodged, but still took a hit to the face, and grunted, a gloved hand going to the spot. “Ow! Rude,” he declared, briefly frowning...although a determined grin returned soon after.
“Playtime’s over, huh?” He asked, and went for another froggy kick at her. They were still rather near the edge of the building, but heights didn’t scare him at all...and who knew? Maybe he’d knock her right off.
...Though, killing somebody didn’t actually sound like a great idea. Still. Nearness of that might make for hesitations, he reasoned.

"Do you ever shut up?," she grumbled at the young Senshi. Most of the people she had encountered in her time since joining the Negaverse tended to whine and flee - this guy, however, was the opposite.. And while she found thrill in a good fight, this was not quite what she had imagined.
This kid had some serious Peter Parker vibes going on and suddenly she was sympathizing with all the make-believe villains that Spiderman went up against - he probably gave them all raging headaches much like this kid did.
There was an attempt to maneuver away from the kick, but she hadn't moved fast enough while she was in her own head and he managed to get another blow in. She staggered and the back of her heel found air, not realizing she was so close to the edge of the building. Glancing down to the very far ground below, Vanadinite grinned. While she wasn't one hundred percent sure that she could get close enough to grab his starseed, she was fairly confident she could at least get a hold of him again. Lurching forward, the Lieutenant grabbed at the neon green sash that hung at his waist and used every bit of her strength to tug. When the Senshi was forced towards her, she swung her body out of the way, released the sash and let gravity do the rest of the work to throw Nix off of the building.
A dead Senshi was a dead Senshi, starseed or not, she figured as she took a moment to catch her breath. Without bothering to check for the splatter on the ground, she dusted off her hands on her leather pants and went on her way.

I hope that's okay! I know you wanted him thrown off the building so I figured that'd be a good ending if you wanna write Nix's exit smile

"Where's the fun in quiet?" Nix shot back gleefully as she staggered back from the kick. He sidestepped, and moved to kick her again...although he did not expect her next move...to grab his sash.
Before he had sorted out what she was planning, Nix found himself lurching forward and...Oh dear, he thought as he bumped the small lip at the edge of the building and toppled over.
Now, this was a bad position to be in, no doubt about it. But Nix had two advantages in this situation (one of which was...the boy was ever so slightly nuts when it came to facing danger)...and so the Lieutenant might hear, after his startled, "Oop!" a very faint, falling, "Byyyee!"
Twisting quickly in the air, Nix knew he had only a brief moment to not die a horrible death and...WHAM. He shot off his ethereal tongue at the building as it shot up past him, and luckily did not miss. So instead of becoming a mess of a pavement pancake, he instead ended up against the building...most likely out of sight of the negaverser above.
In considering what the best course here would be, Nix concluded...he should not go back up there right now. Falling off the building was a rush, but he was not so crazy as to want to try THAT again today...so he dropped a bit further, and powered down.
With any luck, it would seem like he'd landed, and his power left him... Of course, if she went down to check, there'd be no body so...
Time to leg it.

It's perfect. biggrin That's a fin for me unless Vana wants to try to pursue or something.
