Dinner had been lovely, and Daphne had gotten her milkshake, which she drank with a near sensual delight. She picked up the bill, after all, she had invited Crystal to get dinner with her, and then she invited the other woman back to her apartment to talk about the one that Crystal wanted to bring home.
Daphne wanted to have a good idea of what the senshi was like, before she just ran around like an idiot looking for them. Her hand found Crystal’s once again and her fingers wove themselves between those of the other corrupt in civilian guise.
When they arrived at her apartment, she let them both in and drew Crystal to the couch, nodding at it. “If you want something to drink, let me know. I have water and some tea. Might have coffee but I don’t drink it much. There’s wine too if you were interested.” She moved towards the kitchen, grabbing a notebook and ben off of the island that separated it from the living room and poured herself a glass of water, glancing over to Crystal to see if there was anything she wanted before the real discussion began.

Dinner had been nice! Crystal hadn't realized she'd needed the break... But when she got it, she slowly, calmly felt her shoulders unclench more and more from at least a year's stress, and moreso as the evening passed. She hadn't expected Daphne to pay, oir -- half of that -- but it was nice to feel treated, and Crystal at least used dinner time to get to know the other woman! It was the polite thing, and when they arrived at her apartment, plans floating, waiting to take form and manifest, she felt the tingle of electricity in the air. This wasn't an impromptu grab, this was planning and work -- tools for success that the more erratic, and unpredictable Ferris of them might not consider. Admittedly, the Ferris of then was also newly corrupted and looking for faces to save -- failing, then time moping -- left a semi-laser keen mind on one thing and one thing only, but, Elpis was not an easy capture. She had buttwings or something and the aura on par with a general, but when she sat down, all she did a minute was think, and pause. "Oh-- water, please. I apologize for a quiet period -- I'm thinking of where to begin." Crystal closed her eyes. She was deep in thought another moment, just waiting, before sitting up straight from the space she'd taken on the couch, and motioned. "I don't remember her name." Ferris began. "But she wears blue and silvber accents... She's covered in metal baubles -- all over. And leather, oddly. She has fluffy wings on -- Her hips? Butt? With metal baubles and --" A deep breath. "At minimum, she's got an aura on par with a general. Not higher, but a general. So she's probably strong."

Daphne brought over a glass of water and then folded herself on the couch next to Crystal, humming softly as she began to describe the senshi that she wanted to make sure came home.
“An Eternal Senshi then, that shouldn’t be too much of an issue…I mean, it’s an issue, and would be if we were fighting her..but I think I’ll start by talking first. Is she easy to talk with, or is she one of those who fights first and asks questions later? Is she naive? If I went to her asking for her help…do you think she would believe me?”
After a moment, Daphne moved a little closer and leaned against Crystal’s shoulder, thoughtful as she began trying to come up with some sort of a plan.
“Why do you want her? Are you interested in her…like. For romance? Is she important to you like that? Should I try to seduce her, do you think?”

Crystal took some minutes to think -- it wasn't something she recalled -- the term Eternal -- but she likely simply missed that part in her distress. Instead Crystal put together her recollections of before, admittedly both being rather tricky. It had been a couple years, and finally, Crystal put some answer together, and she motioned. "I'm... Not certain how she reacts to the Negaverse itself, in terms of Senshi. But she absolutely panicked when we tried anything. So... She might possess a fear of us? Which is sort of sad, but who knows what's going on in Order. I just know it's not safe." She didn't know why it wasn't safe, but it was dangerous and wrong and Crystal did not miss it -- even if she remembered exactly nothing. It was all she had as an impression -- Order was scary and bad. No, no, they HAD to figure something out! Crystal took a sip of water in thought, brows knitting in thought, and then she hummed before speaking. "I don't know if she'll run as fast if you ask for help... But I really don't -- remember, I..." Forgot everything, coming to the Negaverse, even losing her girlfriend, but!... She had Daphne to lean on! And Daphne was nice and smart and not... Was Callisto clingy? Well... Maybe? Crystal shook her head to clear it, and then looked to Daphne. "I know I don't see her on my patrols for energy, so... She might be tricky to track down. Does that help?"

Daphne nodded. “It helps a lot, yeah. Do you know her name? That might be the best help that you can give me, if you know it…” She gave a wry smile, amused, but a little horrified at the thought of just asking every Eternal Senshi that she met if they knew Ferris, putting herself out like that…it was a little distasteful.
“If you don’t know her name, that’s okay. Memory loss isn’t something that anyone can fault you for. You came home, and that’s what really matters. You must be so lonely…I’m glad that you made the right choice and came home to Chaos, Crys…it means that I got to meet you…and that…makes me really happy, I mean it. I’ve been terribly lonely, but…now I feel like I don’t have to be any longer. And when we get your friend, there will be three of us to keep each other happy.”
The look in her eyes was rather far away, but the conviction in her voice was unmistakable. “We’ll bring her home. No matter the price that has to be paid. She’ll be ours.”

"Her name?" Crystal took a moment to think it over, closing her eyes. When she opened them her expression was rather more sad. "No, I don't remember, but," Crystal motioned. "I have never seen a senshi with more metal in their fuku. Her tiara, sure, but more than silver -- She wears silver or iron or steel, goild, coppers, bronze... The silver just made it into fabric color too. There's even little metal bits in those wings. Oh, and she wears boots that honestly would match a black base better. Not sure why so much metal on her, though. It's weird." Then Crystal leaned, before hugging Daphne shyly. While shy might once not have been a major trait... She was withdrawns long enough she used caution in most actions. "I'm glad we have one another, though. It's nice. And we'll figure this out, you're right! I mean, of all my impressions I get... Favorable ones from her, so she must be a good person, just... In a bad position,." Crystal nodded wisely. "She needs help."

A lot of metal…she could work with that. It wasn’t perfect, but Daphne could work with it.
She paused when Crystal hugged her, and turned slightly to hug her in return, nuzzling into the crook of the other woman’s neck. “I’m glad too. You’re going to be a good friend. I can tell that already. And she’ll be home soon. We’ll help her. I know that we’ll help her. We’ll show her that she’s lost, and on the wrong path, and soon enough, she’ll be here in our arms too. Just you wait, Chrys.”
Daphne closed her eyes and simply rested against Crystal for a few moments, relaxed and excited. Almost happy. They would be a trio soon, she could feel it…and she could imagine just how happy they would all be.
Together.

Crystal relax3ed again when she realized she wasn't being too forward, and she smiled a bit more, nodding. "I... No, you're right. We will. This time's got to be different." It had to be! They just -- had to try, right? They just needed to show her how bad Order was -- how dangerous it was, and Crystal leaned back, one arm arapping around Daphne warmly so they could... Just appreciate company -- and she... Felt even better with plans underway. A lot better.
