Sylvite was used to being busy, but right now she was really busy. She was pretty sure she'd gotten on the bad side of a senshi who was willing to literally murder people. She'd heard rumors of another really powerful senshi and a potential gathering that she was trying to figure out just how she wanted to act on. Classes were about to start at DCU. On top of that, she still had to deal with her regular quota and her regular database mission. That was what she was trying to work on tonight. There wasn't as much spring in her step as usual as she walked through the park, not with all the other stuff hanging over her head, but she tried to at least take a couple of breaths and appreciate the late summer weather as she looked for people. It kinda worked. An Order aura, and it was a senshi one, too, hit her radar. She perked up at that. Hopefully this one wasn't one of the murdery ones. She knew sometimes senshi could be okay, but she'd been having crap luck with that lately. Either way, she hopped up onto a nearby tree branch so she could get a better look at her surroundings.

He felt it - chaos. Maybe it was Wolframite? He didn't think he could get so lucky, the odds of only running into him was slim to none. So far he'd had luck in only running into Wolframite...but he doubted that would hold much longer.
He didn't know precisely know where the signature's owner was, of in which direction to look, but he knew they had to be close for him to sense them. Turning to look behind himself, he didn't need to get jumped from behind, his dark eyes tried to see if he could find anything - or anyone. Nothing. Damn.
As much as he wanted to turn and head home, it was getting a bit late, he stayed just in case. In case it was Wolframite. He didn't want to run off on the other. Whoever it was would show up soon enough - he was sure of that. Who would turn up a senshi out in the open like himself? Out on an open roof top standing there...he was a target and he knew it.

When she didn't see anyone right away, Sylvite squeezed her eyes shut and tried to really focus on the aura. Okay, it wasn't in the park. It was kinda to the left. She wasn't usually the kind of person to go seek people out. She liked it better to have them come to her, if she could manage it, but she was curios and also given current situations, there were a couple people she probably shouldn't let just run around. She jumped out of the tree and made her way towards the aura, and when she got to the next street over, that was when she saw them, perching on a rooftop. It was someone she'd never seen before, and they didn't appear to be smashing any youma or anything right now. Okay. That was a good sign. Maybe they were nice? She waved, big enough that she could be seen even from up there. "Hi," she called out.

Hearing the voice Miyamoto took a moment to glance about before looking down - oh. "Hi...?" Cautious, as he should be, they were stronger than he was. But they didn't seem interested in fighting him...so that was good.
Maybe he could get to know someone aside from Wolframite. It would be nice to know a few more people before he joined...that way he might have some support, help, and...friends when he joined. He wasn't sure what he thought of friends though...he wasn't much of a people person and didn't fancy the idea of friends but he supposed it might be a need once he changed sides. Friends might just help keep him alive - which he'd very much like to remain.
It wasn't like he'd have senshi, or knights, upset with him for changing sides and out for his blood. Hardly anyone knew him so he needn't worry about that. But he still would need to get his feet under him once he changed sides and there would still be people out to get him and, as Wolframite side, the other side had more people. So he'd have more enemies as well.
"Nice night?" He'd try and hope for the best.

Sylvite didn't make any move to get closer to the senshi, not yet, but she did look him up and down from where she was. His uniform was nice, but a little bit simple. There was nothing about it that screamed, like, animals, or fire, or whatever else his sphere could be. Maybe something icy? That was her best guess. "I like your hair," she said with a big smile, because that was what stood out to her the most. She couldn't help but wonder what it would look like if he ended up on her side of things. She bet it would be beautiful. She nodded at his question, taking just half a step closer to the base of the building. "Yeah, it's pretty nice. I think I'll be happier when it gets just a little bit cooler, though." There were parts of summer she really liked, like swimming and ice cream, but running around patrolling in her puffy black coat was not the best when it was this hot out. "Anyway," she said quickly, because she was trying to do better at not getting distracted. "It's nice to meet you! I'm Sylvite," she said, still smiling. The first thing she needed for the database was his name.

"Thank you..." That wasn't expected, he didn't expect compliments on his hair. He got them from time to time but not all that often in all honesty. Staring down at her he sat himself on the edge of the roof so he was as close to her as he could get, without jumping down to join her.
"I wouldn't mind if we had fall weather." He did prefer it, it wasn't as suffocating as summer. Humidity wasn't something he liked and he didn't like the bright sun and summer was just a nuisance all around. Spring was nice because the smell of rain was often heavy in the air and spring green against the grey storm clouds was lovely in an artistic sense. It was something he would take pictures of and fill his apartment with - it was calming.
"Miyamoto...Sylvite. You should come up here - this isn't a Shakespeare play." Referring to the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet...only they were in opposite roles it would seem. But he did wonder if she would get the reference. He doubted it...most wouldn't.

Miyamoto. Okay. She could remember that. Also, he still wasn't attacking her, or even giving her weird looks, which was usually a good sign. Sylvite had been the type who had paid attention in English class. She liked stories way better than numbers and stuff, and at the reference, her smile shifted into a full grin, and then into something just a little bit more impish. "I mean, I haven't fallen in love with you quite yet," she said, giggling softly as she looked up at him. "Not that you're not cute, but, y'know." He did have pretty hair and a nice face, but that kind of stuff took time. Even with time, Sylvite wasn't sure she could see herself doing all the sappy, lovey-dovey stuff like the people in romance stories did. Friendship, on the other hand, was something she was always up for, and being close enough to someone that you didn't have to shout at them was probably a good start. She ran a couple steps and then leapt up onto the rooftop in one jump. She landed neatly on her feet before she sat down cross-legged next to him. She glanced over to him, her forehead scrunched just a little now that she was this close. "You're not gonna blast me with any magic, are you?" she asked.

"Mmm, that is true. And even if you did fall in love with me I'd wind up breaking your heart and we can't have that." He wasn't going to site his lack of interest, though that was a thing, but he didn't mind talking to her at least. She was interesting and even got his reference, not that it was too hard...for most people. He still knew some wouldn't have gotten it.
"Blast you? I don't think my magic could do that and I'm far too lazy for that. It would take more effort than I prefer to give to things." Being honest with what he said, though he knew that would have to change once he changed sides and came under Wolframite's mentorship. He wouldn't be able to be lazy enough to not fight and go after someone.
"I can also site a lack of want to fight. Not when I've been claimed by one of your own." Tilting his head and tugging his collar down just enough to show the marking he carried with him now. Where some might not like scars and markings on the body, and find them disfiguring, he had a thing for marking up his flesh in as many ways as he could...though he'd never considered scarification...and he still didn't but this was a nice scar anyway.

"Yeah, no heart breaking. That would be bad," she said, and she left it at that, since she wasn't really trying to flirt or anything. Not when she could be finding stuff out about his magic, instead. It wasn't a blast. That was probably good, because at this point if he did blast her with something she might end up falling off the roof. Did that mean it was some kind of that emotion magic? She'd been seeing a lot of that, lately. The other possibility was that it was something new.She didn't ask, though, not quite yet. It seemed like there would be time for that. Instead, she nodded. "Yeah. Fighting can be kinda," she trailed off and tilted her head, searching for the right word. "A lot. Just talking to people like this is way better." When he pulled down his collar, she leaned forward to take a look, and her eyes went wide at what she saw. "Woah. What happened?" she asked, her nose crinkling a little. "Did you get chewed on by a youma? Sorry about that. I know they can get a little aggressive sometimes." She still wasn't always sure if they really needed youma at all.

"Half youma - one of yours. Wolframite." He said letting his collar come up to cover as much as it hid, which wasn't all of it. "Talking is much better, I will agree. The talks I've had with Wolframite led to this and a promise from me, to him, to allow him to corrupt me. He made the promise to mentor me in return." The mark he had, the scar, was the seal to the promises made.
"I have things to prepare before I let him bring me over. He knows that and is allowing me that." Since it was such a big thing he was undertaking by changing sides. It was a big change and a loss of so much. Wolframite understood and was going to allow him to do as he needed to prepare for it, he was thankful for that.
Soon the white of his uniform would turn black and his hair would grow longer, much longer, things he didn't know about. He did know about the important things though, because hair and uniform weren't all that important.

Sylvite blinked. "Wait. Really?" The last of her nerves went away as he explained things, and she smiled big, instead. "You want to join us? That's awesome." Her eyes practically sparkled. It was her job to keep up with the databases, including the list of agents, so she'd heard of Wolframite. They'd even talked in passing, a while back, but she didn't know a ton about him. She definitely didn't know he'd been trying to recruit senshi, or that it had worked. Maybe she should ask for some pointers. Members of Order never seemed to take her seriously when she tried to talk to them. She couldn't exactly bite them but maybe she could figure something out. For the moment, though, she looked over at this senshi as she settled in and adjusted herself so that her legs were dangling over the edge of the building. "It's good you told me now. I was about to give you a whole spiel," she said, kicking her feet. "Now we can talk how to welcome you, instead." She sucked her cheeks in, considering. "Do you like snacks?"

Oh dear, it seemed like it was a big deal to this one. And yes, it was a big deal in a way he also wasn't as excited as she was. He wasn't the sort to get as emotional as she was, obviously, and he wondered how people could be so excited for things like this. He just didn't understand it, not entirely anyway but he didn't comment. He didn't want to hurt someones feelings, much as he normally didn't care one way or the other, he would need some friends and he knew it.
"How to welcome me....?" It sounded like she was going to make a big thing about this....lovely. He didn't like making a big deal of things. He wasn't the sort to show off tattoos or piercings - they were just there. If people saw...they saw and only because he was wearing whatever he wanted to. He'd seen some people who liked to show off every bit of ink that was new or every new piercings like it was some sort of shiny new bauble - he hated them. He got that they were excited but they made such a big deal out of it all. Maybe they were the normal ones though....?
"Some, it depends. What about you?" He would try - he really would.

Sylvite knew that her excitement could be too much sometimes. She did. The problem was figuring out when those times were before she ended up crossing some line. There was something about his tone right now that made her think she might be getting close, and so she took a quick breath and stilled. "I mean, it doesn't have to be a party," she said, a little bit quieter. "Even the snacks are just a bonus, although yeah," the smile returned for a second, "Snacks are great." While Sylvite would have been more than happy to plan parties for all the new recruits and shower them in candy and generally focus on the fun stuff, she knew that wasn't really the point. She shifted a little. "But like, I know you have to leave a lot behind to come join us." It was his whole life, basically, Sylvite couldn't imagine. She looked over to him. "What are you hoping is waiting for you in the Negaverse?"

"No party - I'm not that social." Though for his job he did try and be as social as he could be, without getting too emotionally attached to his clients. It was hard sometimes, especially if a piece took multiple sessions and was something deeply personal to his client. It could get really hard...but he was getting better at it, without somehow insulting or being obvious to a customer.
"Snacks are fine. Something simple." He wasn't some over the top sort of person at least he didn't think so, he was easy to please and didn't have fancy taste or anything. He didn't even want fancy if he could afford it - which he couldn't. It wasn't him.
"Yeah....I have a lot to give up. But I didn't ask to join this war and had no choice in the side I was brought into - I didn't know there were sides till after the fact. From what I've heard you're side seems more put together and to have more of a clue - to be safer in the long run for everyone." Not just them but also every day civilians who didn't even know a war was going on. It seemed the best choice. "I want to take the choice back and make it mine. That's what I'm doing...but having my choice now, rather than at the start, is going to cost me." It was going to cost him damn near everything.

"No parties," agreed Sylvite, although she couldn't help the fact that she sounded just slightly disappointed. "Just snacks. Snacks and, like, protection." One was probably a little easier to offer than the other, but Sylvite knew that the Negaverse would offer as much of both as it could. "I'd say we're more organized. We've got superior officers, who are basically mentors. We've got branches, so you can find what you're best at and team up with other people who have the same specialty." She began to kick her feet back and forth again, without really thinking about it. "It's easy to meet people who will have your back. It sounds like you've already got someone like that." She glanced back over to him, her expression a little bit more serious. "And I'll do what I can, too." That was when something caught her eye. She blinked. "Your ears," she said, leaning forwards just a little. "Is that from magic?"
