There was corrupted senshi nearby, and Danalite wanted to meet them. Danalite would meet them, and as she matched towards, them, already working on an argument to figure out what their magic did and how it worked and what their sphere was, she couldn’t stop herself from giving a small laugh.
Was she going overboard on all of this?
Yeah, maybe. But. At least she was learning a lot. So far both of the senshi who had used their powers on her had left her stunned and deeply impressed, and she was hoping that this third one would too.
It was good that they were on the right side of things, that was all that Danalite was really getting out of these tests. If the senshi, if Arnica or Suzaku ever worked together and ever were on the other side of this war…
That could be a disaster, to be honest. And it had her learn the lesson that senshi needed to be brought over, no matter how it was done. Their magic could be so very useful. If she could get some under her…that would be the greatest.
As the corrupt came into view, Danalite let her eyes roam over his outfit, trying to glean some information from it. No flowers, so that was good…a vastly different style than Suzaku wore but.
This was nothing more than a learning experience.
“Hello! I’m Danalite, and I’m hoping you would indulge me by using your magic on me? I’m trying to see what different senshi can do, and I would love if you could help me out?”
She extended a hand, for she was nothing but friendly, and she hoped that he would see that this wasn’t any kind of trick or…well. That nothing bad would come from it. “So far I’ve had my brother who’s a Dark Mirror Senshi use his magic, and my friend Suzaku. But. I want a broad range of what you all can do.”

The senshi turned from his perch just behind a parapet. In his hand was a chocolate coated ice cream bar on a stick, with caramel crisps embedded in the outer layer. He'd taken a bite out of it already, and as he turned to face her, it was still stuck in his jaws.
"Mn," he grunted, then held up a finger for her to wait. He chewed it, then swallowed it, then winced something fierce for the brain freeze that overtook him moments later.
"Ack, damn, whew," he muttered, rubbing a temple with his free hand. "Sorry, wasn't expecting any company out here. Don't like to eat ice cream while I'm running around, you see. Gets, well. Everywhere." He shrugged, as if that explained everything, and she should have no further questions about why a Negaverse senshi was loitering with ice cream in his hand.
"Name's Adonis, by the by. If you want magic? You get magic." It was an odd request, but an easy one. He shook her hand with a gloved one of his own.
"Tell you what, I'll give you the easy version first. Fair's fair, right?" He finished, and he bent his arms outward at the elbow, palms facing the sky. He waited for his lengthy gloves to burn away, then took another bite of his ice cream.
Couldn't let it melt. That'd be a waste.orangeish sherbert Skinned ;; Range: 20' / 1 target Duration: 20 seconds Use Count: 3 Miss Chance: Breaking eye contact, going out of range Effect: Adonis holds his arms out, palms up, and the gloves on his uniform burn away. The change is mimicked in his targeted opponent, who he must make eye contact with, and they feel the effects of a mild chemical burn. They see a few layers of skin peeling off, some irritation, and some decent pain. Only occurs on the arms, and can be interrupted by attacking Adonis before his uniform manifests any changes, preventing him from making eye contact, or by shutting him up somehow before he can utter the name of the attack. Once the duration ends, their body goes back to normal (as does his uniform).

Damn. The ice cream looked…really good, and now Danalite would have to stop for some on the way home, and it was clearly all Adonis’ fault. Which. Truthfully was fine.
“I can’t fault you for ice cream, especially when it looks so good! And thank you for your cooperation, I appreciate it.” Or. She did until he used the magic. Her arms began to burn terribly and Danalite shuddered, her face contorting with pain. “...All right. That’s. Not comfortable at all. What the ********.”
She rubbed at her arms and looked down at them, horrified with the fact that it looked like her skin was peeling, which sent a flash of alarm through her and she shook her head. “Oh, s**t. My brother is going to freak...please tell me this goes away when this ends?”
That was what had happened with Arnica and Suzaku. Whatever had been done to her had vanished when their attacks had ended, and she could only hope it would be the case with him too. Besides, the panic over her brother’s reaction was making it easier to deal with the pain from the burning.

"I'm pretty sure it goes away when it ends, but I don't usually stick around to find out." Seemed kinda pointless to shoot someone and then loiter around, waiting to see if or when they stopped bleeding. Like nothing bad could possibly come from that.
At least this little liaison would teach him as much, too. Did he really want to stick around to learn that, no, it's permanent, and this Lieutenant was going to try to kick his a** for it? Not really, but he would stay on the chance that it was temporary.
And he hoped it was only temporary for those on his side. Everyone else can suffer their permanent chemical burns and get skin grafts.
"Luckily," and he took another bite of his ice cream, "Lepidolite bought that great new hospital, so you won't be out of luck if you need to get a skin graft." He gestured at her with his ice cream stick while flashing a broad smile.

Danalite snorted, but couldn’t stop the slight tremor in the laugh. The pain was intense, but thankfully it was fading. Her pulse was still rather erratic but.
“God. All of you senshi have such wicked magic, literally the only thing I can think when you’re using it on me is thank god we’re on the same side.”
She blew out a long, slow breath and snorted again. “I’m not going to admit to getting so badly hurt from my own desire to test out magic and visit a NEgaverse run hospital. God, everyone would look down on me and Axinite would be so disappointed he ever brought me into the fold.”
Though, perhaps that was a bit of an exaggeration. A desire for knowledge had to always be seen as at least a mostly good thing, and so long as Danalite kept trying to be the best she could…Axinite couldn’t really fault her.
Hopefully.
“I’m a little jealous though. I’ll admit, the weapon is fantastica, so much better than the crap bottle of glitter I had when I was a Page but, you senshi have such epic magic.”

"Heh, sure, my magic might seem useful now? But you agents, you're the stars of the show. Sure, magic hurts, but in another minute or two? It's like it never happened. But you guys get knives, blades, halberds — anything you can think of to stab someone real good and make it last. Best part? Doesn't cost you any energy, and a good blade never runs out of stabs." He twirled his half-eaten ice cream, and a fat glob fell off onto the concrete.
He noticed only when he went for another bite, and faltered, then continued eating it anyway. Once it was gone, he could point about whimsically with the popsicle stick. "Eh, don't sweat it too much. Like I said, nothing's gonna be permanent damage from magic." He started to walk, half expecting her to follow.
"I think Axinite'd be pretty proud to know someone like you's going and learning all you can about magic. Sounds useful, yeah? And the best place to start is with the people that don't want to kill you." Maybe knowing that would be helpful.
He thought about it, then cocked his head to the side. "What kinda weapon you got? Say, we could play a game — we both guess what your weapon'll turn into when you get promoted for laying out all the ground rules of magic. You know, for everybody in the Negaverse to know how to interact with it."

“That’s very true.” Danalite summoned her dagger and held it out so that he could take a look, and there was a terribly fond expression on her face as she did look at it. “I was a misguided Page before. I had a bottle of glitter. And then I came over and got more power and got this beauty here. I’m trying to show that I’m worth it, and I’m doing pretty all right, I think. Obviously better than I was.”
The idea of trying to figure out what she would get next was…kind of fun all things considered.
“Maybe it’ll become a sword? One of my girlfriends has two daggers, that would be pretty amazing too, don’t you think?”
She grinned at Adonis feeling significantly better about her lack of magic. He was right, she didn’t really need it…but it did help. Even if it wasn’t permanent, it could still stop someone cold.

"Why settle for a sword when you can get something even cooler, like a scimitar?" Which was a kind of sword, now that he thought about it, but it had a fancy curve. "Or a cleaver. Or one of those serrated jobs. Or a machete? Well, whatever the case," he shrugged. A weapon was a weapon — reliable and deadly, if a bit simple, and less flashy than magic.
It was a fancy looking weapon in its own right, too. He couldn't imagine anyone doing half past anything with a bottle of glitter, except for throwing craft herpes down someone's cleavage. That had to account for something, right?
And she had girlfriends. Maybe that dagger got her that much. The bottle of glitter certainly didn't.
"You need any more magic from me? I got more, in case you do."

Oh. s**t. Maybe she wasn’t thinking big enough, and with a thoughtful hum, she glanced at her dagger and nodded slowly. “That would be kind of amazing now that you mention it. Whatever helps me look cool and keeps me safe and stronger than most of those that I fight. It’s not asking too terribly much, I don’t think.”
It might be, but that was her own issue if it was.
“Nah. I’m good with your magic right now, but thank you for the offer…you could tell me where you found the ice cream though. And if you go with me to get some, I’ll buy you another one in thanks for showing off!”
It was a very fair trade, plus it would get her some company and more importantly.
Some ice cream.

"Nah," Adonis returned as he stretched. "I don't think so. Metallia, she's a loaded girl. She can spare that much." Metallia had to be a ******** high-roller at this point, with all the energy they'd been feeding her. Wider than she is tall, at least.
"Oh, the ice cream?" And his arms dropped, his hands swung gently to and fro. "Yeah, sure. It's across town, but that doesn't matter so much for us. I'm gonna buy you one instead, though. Call it a consolation prize for taking a round of my magic." He gave her a pat on the shoulder, with which they winked out of existence.
