Keiko...was beginning to really enjoy powering up. She felt as though she were getting the hang of things now. Of course, then the world had to go and become complicated throwing freaking aliens into the mix...and...well.
Yeah sure. That...wasn’t normal but…
She scoffed and walked down the road, her hands behind her head, eyes looking towards the stars, halfheartedly hoping that they might have some kind of an answer to this...extra terrestrial problem. It didn’t, of course...but. Hey. You couldn’t blame a girl for trying.
There was a funny tickle against her senses and she paused, eyes narrowing as she slowed her steps, looking around until she spotted the dark clad figure.
It didn’t feel like a corrupt. Not like Lilith at all...but it was a chaotic aura. And she was sure that she had felt...something like it before.
Moving closer, Keiko watched the chaotic senshi with a wary eye, trying to remember where and who had felt like this…
Finally, it hit her, when she managed to make out the transparent overlay. “Oh! Sharks! You’re like Sharks!”

Sappho had to admit, she liked being a Senshi. It had brought Kelly into her life, after all, and that was...wonderful, more than she could have possibly asked for. And sometimes, she liked to take walks in the evenings, powered up as Sappho, just to enjoy how much better it felt to be magical.
Tonight was one of those nights. It was lovely, the weather was nice--a fall breeze that caught her hair and lifted it up. Honestly, the whole thing made her feel sentimental.
She could feel an Order aura approaching, and she considered her options--she hadn't had many (or any, really) interactions with the "other side," and so she had to admit, she was curious. She turned, to face the other Senshi, and blinked.
"Sharks?" She tilted her head to the side. "I, uh. Don't know anyone named that, or a Senshi of that, but...okay? Hi?

Keiko began circling the other senshi, realizing that now she was acting like a shark and gave a little huff. “She said she was the senshi of sharks. I don’t remember her name, but she had the gauzy...bits like you do. And wore black...and I think she felt like you. She seemed appalled at how little I knew.”
...It had actually been pretty annoying.
“So. Let me start this like I start every interaction. Are you up to no good? Because if you are, we’ll have to fight, and I’m just warning you, I’ll win.” This was not a fact by any stretch of the imagination, but sometimes you had to act tough and then those you were around would believe it.
Keiko could bluff, at the very least. “Or, I could attack you anyway, and then we could chat so that I’m seen to be doing my civic duty of keeping the city safe. Up to you, Purp.”

Sappho made a thoughtful face, considering the information Keiko was giving her. Gauzy bits and black?
"She's probably a Dark Mirror, like me. We're a kind of Senshi--like how you're Order, and there's the Negaverse ones?" Not that Sappho had ever met one; she'd only heard about them, but they were obviously supposed to be out there.
"And, look, I'm not doing anything nefarious, I'm literally just out on a walk." Sappho smiled, as innocently as possible. "I mean, really. Do I look like a threat to you?"
But, well. Maybe she should jsut make sure of it, since this Senshi was being so threatening.
"Violet Innocence," she whispered under her breath, and then she winked and blew Keiko a kiss.Sailor Scout Attack: Violet Innocence! Sappho speaks the name of her attack, winks, and blows a kiss at one opponent within six feet of her. A spiral of violet petals swirls around them, and they find that suddenly, Sappho seems more innocent and harmless, and less dangerous. This attack last for 25 seconds, and can be used three times per battle.

“Hmm...I mean I guess so.” Keiko rolled her eyes as the girl tried to act innocent. “Clearly, you’re not...I…”
Her cheeks went just a little pink at the kiss. The flower petals were so...strange but so pretty. “Yeah I mean...I guess. You’re not doing anything. Anyway...um.”
She blinked and shook her head slightly as though she wanted to clear her thoughts. “Dark Mirror? What does that consist of? Are you all...vain or something? Carrying mirrors so you can see all of your pretty faces easier?”
It made absolutely no sense but...why would anything in this make sense. Such was life in the city, right?
“Your outfit is pretty.” Like a flower. A pretty purple flower. And it looked comfortable too.

Sappho nodded, enthusiastically.
"Exactly! I really am just out for a walk, and it's easier to do that powered up. I get winded less, you know?" She shrugged her shoulders, still trying to do her best to look as nonthreatening as possible.
At least now there was a chance to answer this stranger's questions about her Court, though, and make sure she understood who they were.
"Not a vanity thing, no!" She corrected, but it was cheerful and gentle. "We're called the Dark Mirror because our power comes from a place called Mirrorspace--a dimension we access by walking through mirrors here on regular Earth. And we're technically Chaos, so we're all in black, thus the, uh. Dark. Part. But we're not like the Negaverse!" She said, very hastily. "We do have to take some energy, but not very much, and we're really careful about it."
She perked up at the compliment to her outfit. "Thank you! I'm Sailor Sappho, Senshi of Violets," she extended her hand. "It's nice to meet you."

That did make sense. Keiko could understand why someone would want to power up. It was much easier to get around. “It could be a vanity thing I bet. If everyone in the group is as pretty as you, it could very well be a vanity thing.” She shrugged and took the senshi’s hand, shaking it lightly. “I’m Sailor Keiko, Senshi of the Yuki Onna. It’s really nice to meet you, but I’m saying right now, I won’t hesitate to attack you if I do ever find you doing something wrong.”
Keiko waggled a finger and then hesitated, looking at Sappho for a long moment before she reached out, poking one of the girl’s dumpling cheeks without a word.
“...Sorry about that. Couldn’t quite resist.”

Sappho made a thoughtful noise, and then grinned. "It's true, there's a lot of gorgeous people in the Court. I mean, my girlfriend is a total babe, and I met her through. You know, this stuff," she said. "So if we wanted it to be a vanity thing, it probably could be."
The threat made her nod, agreeably; if she was ever out doing some sort of nefarious thing, she would probably deserve getting her a** kicked. The poke to her cheek, however, made her blink slowly in confusion.
"Uh....it's fine?" She wasn't sure what to do, really. "A-anyway, uh. Yeah, sure, I'll expect you to fight me if you catch me doing anything naughty."

“Girlfriend?” She grinned suddenly and nodded slowly. “Well, if you and your girlfriend ever want to go up to space and indulge in some dalliance...let me know. If she’s half as pretty as you are, I’ll consider myself to be quite lucky indeed, just so you know.”
Keiko grinned and poked Sappho’s cheek once more before taking a step back.
“...Oh, and if you take me up on that, I promise that I’ll punish you very well if you’re naughty. Cross my heart and hope to die.”
Winking, Keiko took another step back and laughed softly. “See you around, cutie pie. I hope you’ll ask your girlfriend if she’s interested.”

Sappho’s cheeks went bright red, and she made a sputtery, shocked squeaky noise, ducking her head and coughing. The shock of the proposition had her very much off-balance; it was still an adjustment, people finding her attractive, even if she’d always known she was hot.
“Uh,” she said, “I can ask her, I guess?” She coughed, and she wasn’t sure if she would actually pass on the proposition. Maybe, if only because she might feel like she was keeping secrets from Kibirev otherwise, and that was the last thing she wanted. “Anyway, uh, see you!” She said.
She did not pause. In fact, quite the opposite; Sappho very much bolted.
