It should have been obvious that one of these nights of looking at holiday lights would end up with her meeting someone from the other side of the war. Honestly, Lysithea was impressed that it had taken so long in order for it to happen.
She felt the off putting aura before she saw the white clad female, and hesitated, unsure if she should simply teleport back to Negaspace or try to engage. Try to urge this senshi to come to the true path. The path of peace. Lysithea knew that Faustite would be worried if she handled this alone, but this senshi at least felt weaker than she was, so that had to count for something. If she had to run in to an enemy…at least it was one that wasn’t as strong as she was.
The colors that the girl had were soothing. Pastels of purple and a mint…though against the white they were rather jarring. Lysithea personally thought that they would be lovely if set against black, like her own were.
With a slight wave, the Corrupt Eternal took a step towards the super senshi. “I like your outfit. And your hair, it’s very pretty.” There! That was normal! That was kind and good and clearly not something that would cause any offense!
“I bet it would be even more pretty against black rather than the white! Have you ever considered joining with the Negaverse? It would be the easiest way to stop this war, you know!”
There was a war, even though she couldn't remember fighting in it…but there clearly…was. And it should end. Peace was so much better.

"Who sent you?" Cybele, irrational as it was, had a bit of sympathy for corrupted senshi that was not there with agents, and she'd even almost smiled when this one had called her pretty.All that sympathy shattered when the woman said that she'd look better in black.Cybele's eyes flashed like a cornered animal's. Her voice was low, and it only went lower, raspier. She took half a step forwards, her breath growing heavy in an instant. " Who. Sent. You." Her knuckles were white. Long fingernails dug into her palms. "Was it Sylvite? Faustite? That other one?" Instead of continuing straight towards her, she sidestepped, started circling."They know how this works. They know. I've left them one message already." The other woman might have been an Eternal, and Cybele only a Super after all the starseed damage, but Cybele stood tall anyway and did not hesitate as she said, "They send anyone to try to drag me back to the Negaverse and I toss them back a corpse."

At the senshi’s smile, Lysithea absolutely beamed, pleased that she was doing so good with this interaction that she had the senshi smiling! Agreeing with her! Faustite would be so proud–
And then like a sudden power failure, everything seemed to go wrong. The senshi looked angry, asking who sent her.
Mentioned Faustite.
“Ah! You…you know my brother?” Even though her heart had begun to beat just a little faster, prompted by a sudden fear, the name Faustite was enough to reassure her for at least a few moments, but then came the threat, and then came the realization if she knew her brother, she might have been one of the ones who had…who had taken her away from him in the first place, and she felt…well. A little sick, to be honest.
“Ah…I’m not…I don’t want to drag anyone anywhere! I just…” She faltered, taking a step backwards, trying to get out of the path of this sudden shark woman. “...The colors would look nice against black! Most colors do…it…it makes them pop

Cybele stilled for a moment as she looked the senshi over. Dark hair, pale skin. Yes, perhaps this was what Faustite would look like if he were a bit more human. The thought only made the crawling under her skin intensify. "Chaos ruined my outfit, if you're curious. Killed my flowers." Cybele waved a hand at her tiara, finally blooming again. "Cracked my skin. If you want to see me in black, see if anyone has pictures. You're a few months late for anything more." She started pacing, started circling again, fists still tight at her side. Her lips pressed sideways. "It was Faustite, wasn't it?" Of course it was him. That first time they'd talked once she'd purified, he'd said something about waiting for her to crawl back. "He's trying to be smart about it and send a sweet senshi after me so I let my guard down." Cybele clicked her tongue three times, shook her head ever so slightly. "I'm not that stupid." She lunged forwards, closing the distance between the two of them in an instant. "If you're truly not here to bring me back, then leave." She tried to shove the Corrupt away as a second, more intense warning. "Otherwise-" She did not finish the sentence, but the threat was clear in her eyes.

Lysithea swallowed and tried to take a step backwards. “F-faustite didn’t do anything. He still doesn’t want me to talk to anyone on the…from the…” She winced as the super senshi shoved at her and stumbled slightly, confused, and honestly afraid.
No wonder she had been told not to go out alone. The White Moon were dangerous.
But…but this senshi…
“You…were one of us? The White Moon stole you? I…They had stolen me too, but Faustite got me back, I…I got to come home!” Lysithea’s words were spilling out, and some rational part of her mind was telling her to just stop, but she couldn't. She couldn't imagine…this poor Senshi…how many people were looking for her...waiting on her to come home…
“We…we can bring you home! You can be back where you belong…I…I mean…I’m sure that you’re missed…I know that I was…ah…a-a lot.”

Two warnings, two, and she still kept it up. Under other circumstances, Cybele might have noticed how suspicious the way she talked was, how impossible the concept of Order stealing people was. Cornered as she was, with the intense aura of an Corrupt Eternal pressing against her senses, all she heard was the implication that the Negaverse was her home. Cybele saw red. She wanted to vomit. She lashed out in a panic. Before she even fully registered it, her fist was streaking towards the other senshi's face. " Chaos stole me," she growled. "My memory. My will to live. Everything I was. I can never see my biological family again." The words came quickly, Cybele's breath quicker still. "My parents are mourning me because a General thought it would be fun to wipe my brain and make me do her dirty work."

For a moment, Lysithea was utterly stunned. She registered that she had been hit, but for a moment, she couldn't quite place it. And the words that the senshi was saying…chaos stealing her…parents mourning her…
That made absolutely no sense.
The first throb of pain in her lip was a surprise, and when her tongue slid out, to catch whatever she felt on there and she tasted blood, the Corrupt went pale, confused and afraid. “I…”
With a shudder, Lysithea drew backwards and teleported.
