There was a chaos aura out tonight, and Tortali felt herself growing excited, her hands curling into fists as she imagined how satisfying it would be to just…punch the chaos out of whoever it was. That was…clearly a thing, right? Maybe.
Her “training” with Aventine had been…kind of worthless, but it had been so much fun. And the resulting time at home had been even better. It was motivation though. Thinking of her girlfriend, the love of her life was just…such a good motivation.
When she came close to the holder of the chaotic aura and saw a very poofy dress and a girl with long green hair she scoffed. A corrupted senshi then. Perhaps…
Tortali hesitated for just a moment, scowling. What if this was one of those who didn’t want it? Who had succumbed to whatever the ******** had happened up on that hill…should…
She shook her head slightly. No. Chaos was chaos, and if this one wanted to plead her case, that was fine and good, and Tortali would find a way to help, but if she didn’t…then she would punch the chaos out of her. If she could.
“Isn’t it past your bedtime? In a dress like that, what are you, twelve?”
Nice. Classic insult. Great Job. Ten out of ten.

Xenia knew that her outfit and her face made her look young. It was a weapon in her arsenal, actually--people approached a crying girl in a floofy dress with their guard down, and that meant that she could drain energy or pull a starseed with ease. She was walking away from one such victim--sweet middle-aged lady, probably had kids of her own, and that was why Xe had left her alive and passed out, instead of taking her starseed.
Reminded her of her mom, a little, so she got to live.
She could feel an Order aura coming closer, and she paused, tucking her gathered energy into subspace.
The insult made her huff, and she put her hands on her hips.
"Uh, I'm eighteen, so shut the ******** up," she said. Not very polite, sure, but she didn't have to embody her sphere at all times. "Looking for a fight? 'Cause I'll give you one, don't you worry about that."

It took all of Tortali’s self control not to parrot the words right back at the girl. “Oh, like that’s so much better. You’re still just a baby.” Though, she had felt so big at eighteen as well, but that had been…oh god. Eight years ago. Disgusting to be closer to thirty than she was to twenty…but.
“Yeah. I’m looking for a fight. I’m looking to punch the chaos right out of your twelve year old body.” She grinned suddenly, pleased that even though she was chaos…this girl seemed to get it. Words were stupid, and fists and actions were so much better. “I’m not going to go easy on you because you’re a kid, and I hope you understand that.”
And that was the only warning that she gave, moving swiftly and aiming a punch right towards the corrupt’s gut.

Xenia found it remarkably offensive to be declared a "baby," considering that as she had just pointed out, she was an adult.
But since it was obvious that the other Senshi was looking for a fight, Xecia grinned. This was so much more fun than bothering civilians! This was the type of thing that would make other officers proud of her!
"Bring it, b***h," she said, and then, "but make sure you ask nicely!"
She waved a hand, and a bubble popped up around her, in time to intercept the punch, which made her grin smugly.
"So? You gonna try and punch the Chaos out of me still?"Quote: Sailor Xenia speaks the name of her attack and points at up to two other people within six feet of her, and pale lavender bubbles appears around her and the selected targets. In order to enter the bubbles, touch the people inside, or cast on them, enemies and allies alike must ask politely and be granted permission. Otherwise, the bubbles functions as a shield that deflects physical and magical attacks, and at this stage, attempts to enter the bubbles or attack/cast on anyone inside them without permission will result in an electric shock, which can cause minor burns at player discretion. The bubbles lasts for 35 seconds and have radii of 5 feet. Xenia can use this attack twice per battle.

She didn’t have time to stop her attack as the bubble went over the smug corrupt, and when her fist collided with whatever it was, she felt a tingle at first, and then what felt like a shock, her hand going numb.
“What the s**t? Seriously? You’re too chicken to just duke it out? Hiding behind your magic. I could have started throwing magic too, you know but here I thought I had someone scrappy who would actually fight with me.” Tortali shook her hand, hoping to get feeling back in it and huffed, annoyed and strangely disappointed. This was shaping up to be so fun and now? Now she had to wait for this stupid magic to fade.
Ask nicely, my butt. “What do you mean, ask nicely? May I please bypass your magic and punch the chaos out of you? I would truly like to have a fight, woman to woman. We’re not stupid like men, right? We know how to be scrappy as hell. And I can sure tell that you do.”

Xenia's expression was still very smug and self-satisfied, even as the other Senshi threw accusations at her. She tilted her head to the side, and shifted to big-eyed, blinking innocence.
"I'm just using everything available to me. Is that too hard for you? How sad," she said, and then she giggled, delightedly. Oh, this was way too much fun, watching the other Senshi seethe in her inability to hit her--and sure, it wouldn't last long, but it was funny while it lasted.
.....Even if the prodding at her ego was getting to her. Yeah, she wasn't some dumb boy, she knew how to fight for real.
"Come on in here," she said, "let's go." She punched one hand into the other, squaring her shoulders and preparing for the onslaught.

Tortali paused and then gave a grin. “Good. So you’re not a chicken. Makes me feel better.” She hesitated, pushing against the bubble and then slipping inside, watching the corrupted senshi with a bit more respect. It took guts to just allow someone who was threatening to punch things out of you close enough to make good on that threat.
“If you weren’t such a baby, I’d offer to buy you a drink after this, but I guess I’ll make the same offer in three years when you’re less of a baby.” She threw another punch, using her still slightly tingling hand, but again, aiming for the senshi’s gut, not her face. Nothing that would show so freely.
Somehow, she really didn’t want to injure this scrappy kid. But if she could punch the chaos out and save her…that would be pretty damn cool.

There wasn't exactly much room to fight in her little bubble, but that was okay, Xenia liked it up close and personal. If she was smart, and as ruthless as she wanted to be, she'd go straight for the starseed, but....even with all the age-related condescension, she kind of liked this lady.
After all, she respected Xenia enough to want to fight her.
"Maybe I'll take you up on that," Xenia said cheerily, "if you haven't been dragged into the Negaverse by then." Though she supposed that her being dragged in would make it easier....ah, whatever.
She moved to dodge the punch, so it impacted her side instead of her gut, which made her wince, but didn't knock her over, and threw one of her own aimed at the other woman's shoulder.

“I’d honestly rather die than be dragged into your cult, kid.” Tortali said, trying to sidestep, but ending up making her shoulder into a better target for the small, hard little fist. <********! You have a good punch there, kid. Kudos. Do you work out?” She should work out. She could go to the gym with Anella, punch things. Get stronger so that she could punch things like this munchkin.
Her leg did a sweep, trying to knock the corrupt off of her feet, trying to just gain the upper hand. Tortali didn’t want to really hurt the kid. Not anymore, but she wanted to win...and if the corrupt fell down, then…that would honestly be a win. “You know, if you left your creepy cult, we could workout together. And get drinks together when you got old enough. And best of all, we could kick a** together.”
She grinned suddenly, looking almost excited by the thought. “We could ******** everyone up.”

"Cult? Ew," Xenia said. "I chose this over not knowing what the hell I was doing on your side," she said. "You know I got woken up by a cat when I was twelve? What the ******** is up with that?" She shook her head. "Anyway, I kinda work out? Do a lot of fighting practice so I don't get out of shape."
She was focused on the fists, since that was what the other woman had used so far, and on her questions, and on lining up another punch of her own, before--a foot, around her ankles, and she was flailing and falling.
"Ow! Smart," she said, but she was definitely pouting a little.
"Teaming up sounds nice, but we could do the same if you made the smart choice."

Tortali lunged to catch the corrupt, against her better judgment, but…she couldn’t let the kid fall! They were clearly friends now, so. “Hell yeah it was smart. You should see the kind of things my girlfriend tries to get up to when we argue. Or worse, when we play video games. She cheats like you wouldn’t believe! And when she wants something, oh my god.”
Laughing, Tortali helped Xenia to stand, and shook her head, her smile fading just slightly. “Sorry kid. I don’t want any chaos poisoning me. I’m going to consider this a win for me though, I told myself that if you fell, it would mean I won, and I clearly didn’t listen to myself but. You good? I like your spunk.”
And she did. And…that kind of sucked. “If we’re both still around in three years I hope we meet up again, and I will get you a drink. Promise. Deal?”

Xenia yelped in surprise when Tortali caught her, but she took a moment to straighten herself up, and she grinned. Oh, someone else who had a girlfriend she adored!
"She sounds like a total nightmare, but like, in the best way," Xenia laughed. "My girlfriend...man, she's incredible. She's how I figured out I wanted this--" she gestured at her frilly outfit "--you know?"
But she huffed. "Call it a win if you want, I'd like to think it's more of a tie." Still, it had been sort of fun, trading punches like this. "Anyway, I'm good, and that's definitely a deal."

Tortali nodded, giving a grin. “I’m glad to hear that you have a good one too, and yeah. I get it. I wish you two the best in things. I’ll see you around, kid. It was a win for me though. No doubt about it!”
Sticking her tongue out, she laughed and took off, not feeling so badly about letting the corrupt go. She was just a kid, and she wasn’t so bad.
Still. It couldn’t be something she continued to do. Chaos was still a cult, after all. And it had to be stopped.
