Being back on Earth was strange after spending a few days up on Albireo. Of course, she didn’t mind it. But she did miss Roy. How could one not miss Roy. He was perfect.
But, the faint glow that clung to her, that lit up her legs, her arms and her cheeks was…well. It was like Roy was with her. Protecting her. Like her entire world were protecting her.
She had thought about going right home. Surely Tavi was worried about her, and Ellie too but…now that she had this. This new…something. Well, she wanted to see what it did for her. And she wanted to give herself a little more time to let the two of them stew…though she knew that..perhaps this was a little…or a lot mean but.
But he shouldn’t have run off to tell Cybele about her losing her starseed again! It…wasn’t needed…so…he shouldn’t have worried her. Anyway.
The feeling of a corrupted senshi had her feet moving in the direction they were in without any thought. And when she saw the corrupt taking energy from someone, she swallowed and drew in a breath. Well. Her starseed was hers now. And nobody could take it so.
“Hey!” The shout was loud and ringing, and Albireo beckoned to the senshi. “Ugly Duckling Diversion!” Sure…it might not be a fight, but she hoped the magic would draw the corrupt closer. They could talk and the victim could get the heck away!Eos Galvus Ugly Duckling Diversion! Sailor Albireo focuses on an enemy and lets out a soft cry, arching her neck, and opening her arms. A soft white light surrounds her, and if the enemy were in the middle of attacking another of her fellow senshi, so long as they were her rank or lower, they would end up attacking her in the place of the other. The power makes her seem out of place, and more like the true threat. Though, once used, this attack can not be used again in the battle. The effects last for thirty seconds.

It was a good night, initially. Ferris had emerged from her day job to do some powered work. She could get some energy and make it home, at least, and the night had been going swimmingly. No nasty Order know-it-alls,, nobody telling her she was "wrong" -- just some energy gathering from civilian to civilian. And then some Order senshi interrupted her latest draining and the corrupt absolutely turned, every inch angry at the cast and intrusion. Not again with these Order punks, and this one seemed stronger. A pity for the senshi Ferris really didn't care -- oh, she abnsolutely ought to have, but her angry ignored common sense as she growled, and promptly locked Albireo with her gaze, not wanting to waste words yet. Mayber she'd drain her instead! Quote: ailor Scout Attack: Nostalgic Razor Ferris concentrates her power to her fingertips, and points one finger at a person, up to six feet around her, iand that person will be overcome with Nostalgia for better times. This will cause a pain in their chest as if the yearning physically hurts. Both the nostalgia and the pain last 30 seconds. Useable 3 times a day. Sailor Ferris must see the target(s) to cast but need not keep her eyes locked on once it takes effect.

Albireo was pleased to see that the corrupt had focused on her instead of the civilian, but…when suddenly she was using magic on Albireo, she winced slightly as pain blossomed in her chest and she had a longing for…well. Something. Nothing she could name but…something. Happy times in the past that…
That she couldn't quite remember. But that was fine…she was happy with how things were now so…
“I don’t want to fight with you! I just wanted to get your attention, I’m sorry for startling you…I’m Albireo, Senshi of Swans, if you want some energy, please take some of mine instead, okay?”
She held her hands out towards the corrupt, a gesture of supplication. Of entreaty.
“I don’t want to fight with anyone, please…you and I can talk through this, can’t we?”

Ferris... Wasn't sure how to respond. Not in this instance. She was beginning to suspect a large number ofg Order were unsalvageable, and she so far only wanted to save a kitty and a senshi, but... This? Ferris needed to collect energy -- that was every agent of the Negaverse's res[pmsibility -- but to be offered? Hmmm. Ferris was suspicious, however, because she wanted to talk, and Ferris wasn't sure she could trust the other senshi, instead frowning slowly. "I have no use for Order propeganda." She said flatly. It wasn't malicious or cruel -- simpoly a statement of fact. "I prefer to talk about less false topics than the drivel about 'peace'. Order wouldn't know peace if it nipped them in the arse."

“Then I won’t throw any propaganda at you. No worries. But I’d rather you take my energy than his. So…please. I can afford to give some up without any issues…and he’s just some rando. Even if you wanted, if it would help you, I could meet up with you once a week and give you energy, if that would make you stop just…targeting civilians. They’re not involved in this crazy stuff…and I am, so…”
Albireo shrugged and kept her hand extended. “No talking, just you taking what you need, and I’ll let you know when to stop, does that sound fair?”
Hopefully there wouldn’t be any attempts at her starseed either but…truthfully? Albireo wasn’t sure that there could be now. Which…was good.

Ferris was... Surprised. She'd gotten used to hostility, or fear. This was a fact in life, at least, as a corrupt -- but an offer? Ferris considered this, head tilting thoughtfully. A reliable source was absolutely irrefuseable -- she needed the proof she was useful, even with a flowering social life, and Ferris relaxed -- just a bit -- enough to look thoughtful before slowly tilting her head. "I've... Other nights I'd still have to go out, but... I'd appreciate that." Her voice was losing the hostile edge, the senshi then looking less threatening and more informative -- calmer. "Though I could stop short so they make it back, if acceptable? I mean, I don't... try killing." Killing made her internally seize up and panic, in an inexplicable, fearful way she didn't understyand, and then she'd cry. Thankfully, killing wasn't asked of her... Yet.

Albireo nodded, giving a bright, excited smile. “Then tell me when we should meet, okay? I’m happy to help you. I know that quotas can be hard to meet, and it’s even worse when you get attacked in the middle of things and lose it all, but I have plenty of energy to spare. It would let you have more of a life for you and not just for the Negaverse.”
And perhaps with that…perhaps with that the corrupt could start to wean herself off of it…
She had to try. And it was a hope, no matter how small.
“Go on, take what you need. It’s yours. I’ll let you know if it’s too much, or getting close to too much, okay? I trust you.”

More free time? That did mean more time with Periclase and helping her; and it meant maybe Ferris could use some savings to take her out for a proper evening as civilians. A nice dinner, a nice outing.... "Are Wednesdays in the park behind the maitenence shed for the carousel alright?" Ferris asked carefully. "I know it's not public, but--" Her tone became startling protective. "I don't... Want the others in Order or some others in the Negaverse coming at you. Or me. You seem... You seem too kind to deserve that." And Ferris responded to that. Ferris responded to other showing her compassion and understanding, and the senshi offered both hands, letting Albireo see her palms. She was trying and maybe the senshi might see chaos wasn't necissarily a bad thing. "I promise... I'm not going to leave you to stumble home too weak to protect yourself. I look after my allies." She tried, anyhow...

She was getting through to her. The very idea made Albireo almost want to start singing, and she crossed the last few steps between them, clasping Ferris’s hands in her own, just beaming. “All right. Allies. Yes please. I want to help people so badly. I’ll be there. That sounds perfect to me. What’s your name? I mean, I could keep calling you, ‘Pretty Haired corrupt’ but, I think I’ll get tired of having to say that constantly. And If we’re going to be allies, I should at least know your name!”
Allies. And hopefully friends. And then hopefully, she could truly help her get free of chaos but.
Baby steps. There was no rush. She had gotten over the worst hurdle of the corrupt attacking her, after all.

"Ah! I do appreciate the compliment -- I'm Sailor Ferris." Ferris smiled, the warm, friendly smile she normally offered her own faction or random civilians. She tried draining the deserving or people isolated enough it was better not to miss the opportunity, but she wasn't a monster either. "I like the idea of allies. It sounds nice." And one less enemy was a plus, although Ferris then tilted her head, blinking curiously before humming a moment, then beaming. "But.. What's your name? It can't be just my name." And she wanted to know. This one deserved her best.

Grinning, she nodded. “I’m Sailor Albireo, Ferris. Senshi of Swans!” Good. So she was listening. She was curious enough to ask for her name. That was good. Very good.
“I’m so glad that we got to meet. Truly. I do have to be getting home, but please, take what you need, okay? It’s all yours, Ferris. I’m so happy to be able to make your life a little easier!”
Safer. Happier. Now that she had this protection…she could help without any…or…without many consequences.

"I'll try not to leave you defenseless, Albireo." It wouldn't be right to harm someone helping her, and Ferris was carefully moving to drain, although she made sure Albireo could watch. She didn't want tp harm anyone needlessly -- and this now erxtended to Albireo; she was aware people might be wary if Chaos were brutally cruel. Ferris could be and there were Order she'd harm, but not tonight. Not here or now. For now, she needed to focus on caution.

Albireo smiled brightly, watching as Ferris began draining her energy. It was rather fascinating to see from this point of view. “I know you won’t. You don’t hurt allies. And like I said. I trust you, Ferris. This is fine.”
…So long as Cybele and Siegfried didn’t find out…it would remain fine. And if they did find out…well. She would plead her case and would win, she was sure.
But for now, she simply relaxed and let her new ally…friend take what she needed.
