Targovishte was just such a strange name. The Page of Jupiter still hadn’t completely gotten used to having power like this, but…it wasn’t completely awful, she supposed. On one hand, she gained a cool new outfit and the ability to…do different things…
But on the other, it opened up a whole new world that she hadn’t realized existed…and put a new light on her little brother’s disappearance. All this time she had simply convinced herself that he had run away. Gone to some better city, followed his dreams and made some success of himself but.
Now she just hoped that he hadn’t become some unknown, unsolved casualty of this hidden war.
If that was the case…well. Sadie would never be able to forgive herself, even if she had only gained her own power recently.
It was so interesting though. To be able to feel others around her. There was another like her in the caves here, and she found herself seeking them out, wondering if gaining allies would be the best way to really get a handle on this whole…’Powered Life’ kind of thing.
“Hey!” She saw the outline of the other Page, backlit by softly glowing lights. “I’m Targovishte!”

Okay so admittedly... He'd managed to get lost. He wasn't surprised at all, given his luck as of late, but he had still managed it. Necro was definitely not telling anyone about this.
He had just managed to find his way back to the main trail in the caves when someone called out to him, and he jumped, nerves shot. He gave a nervous shout and turned to face the source of the voice. "Sorry." Necro said nervously. "I'm Necromanteion."

He sounded rather jumpy, and for a moment, Targovishte felt almost…smug? Maybe not smug but, some kind of excited that perhaps she wasn’t the only one who was new at this. Who wasn’t…great at this. “These caves are pretty big, huh? I like the glowing bugs, but…” She kicked a small pebble with the toe of her shoe. “I think I prefer the city, personally. I didn’t mean to scare you.”
As her eyes began to pick out more details about him, she noted the purple of his outfit and looked thoughtful. “What…kind are you? I’m…ah. A Page of Jupiter, and I’ve met a Page of Earth before…they were the ones that stopped me from dying when there was a literal monster...but I’m. Actually pretty brand new at everything.”
Her words just kept coming but…it didn’t seem to matter too much. “What about you? You’re jumpy, so I’m hoping that means you’re new, too.”

"It's alright, no need to apologize." Necro said, giving her a smile. "I uh, I'm glad it's another Page honestly. I have... a knack for bumping into the wrong people, so this is a pleasant change." He nodded lightly. "They are... The caves actually remind me of someplace I use to frequent." Necro blinked, looking down at his own uniform. "Oh! Saturn! Although, I've been told I have a horrible fashion sense and look like I just rolled around in my closet to find something." He said with a shrug. "Some of the colors are a bit brighter then I'm use to... But I like it?" He didn't think his outfit was that horrible... "I know a Earth Knight, Uranus Squire... and another Saturn Knight... And I think that's it? Know a couple senshi." Necro gave a vague shrug. He flinched slightly, giving a nervous laugh at the mention of a monster. "I guess I've been lucky.. Haven't seen any of those lately. I've uh, actually been at this for about a year.. Though I guess you could still say that is pretty new?" Necro shook his head. "I got lost, and like I said, I've got a habit of bumping into people I probably shouldn't be... It would be my luck I run into one when I'm lost in a cave.."

Oh, so he wasn’t as new at this as she was, but…at least she seemed to have more confidence than he did. Or…rather could fake it more than he could. “They’re pretty neat. The caves. And the fact that you know so many people, that’s awesome to hear. I hope I get to meet a whole crop of others too. It’s easier to learn that way. To figure out your own strengths.”
Targovishte looked again at the wall of glowing bugs, her own thoughts spinning out somewhere else but then she paused. “...Wait. You’re lost? I can help you find the exit if that’s the case. We’re not far from it so, you don’t have to worry so much. You won’t be stuck here forever at any rate, not if I’m here to help you get out.”
She might not have any idea where to go in life, but she knew where to go to get out of this cave!

"I agree. It's always need to see areas like this. I've always enjoyed them." He glanced at the other Page briefly. "I'm sure you'll meet people too. I just happened to luck out that I met them before hand. It's because of them that I am what I am." He'd been pretty lucky in that regard. "Have you looked at any courts or brigades? There's usually a couple people involved in those..."
Necro again laughed nervously. "Aaah.. Yeah. I got a little distracted watching the bugs and kinda wandered off the main path. I'm honestly pretty lucky I didn't get hurt. It was a good thing you came around when you did. So I really appreciate the help in getting out of here."

Targovishte nodded and shook her head after a moment. “I’m not…sure what a court or a brigade is, but I’ll see if I can look into it. It’s a start at least! And now I’ve met you so, that’s something.”
She moved over to him, taking hold of his hand and beginning to walk, taking him back down the path she had just come up on.
It was strange. The posture felt familiar, and for a moment, Targovishte almost seemed to half hope that she’d hear her brother calling out her name and whining for ice cream or candy or something stupid.
How often had she taken him along like this? Dragged him places when he wondered off?
With a long sigh, she simply tightened her hold on Necro’s hand and continued walking. “Lucky for us…you really weren’t far away from the entrance, I’m sure it would have been easier to see if the sun were still out, but.” Targovishte gestured with her free hand as they left the mouth of the cave. “Ta-Da. Freedom.”

"Uhm... Think of them like... Well they're basically a group, of senshi or us, who work together. They're basically a team, just... more official I guess."
Again he shrugged. Necro let the Page lead him about without complaint. "...At least the caves provide a nice break from all this heat that seems to be sticking around lately. ...Unless you like that much heat." He on the other hand, was grateful for the small break..
Targo sighed and Necro tilted his head. "Are you okay?" He asked.
His shoulders slumped when they rounded the corner and the mouth was right there. "Of course. Only I would get lost minutes from the ******** opening." The taller man groaned, scrubbing at his face with his free hand before looking at Targo again. "..... I'm not living this down, am I?"

“Think about that statement for a moment…does anyone enjoy this insane heat? If you’re answering yes, You’re very much incorrect.” Targovishte grinned and shook her head, looking at the other Page with obvious amusement. “Nah. Not ever living this down, but luckily, as I said I don’t really know anyone so. I won’t be able to spread the rumor that you don’t know your way out of a paper bag. That’ll just be between the two of us.”
She winked and then laughed, putting her hands behind her head.
“I’m glad I got to meet you though. Even if you do get hopelessly lost and seem to like the heat more than any sane person should but…”
Then again he had said the cave was a nice break, so she could have been reading that wrong. “Scratch that. Even if you accused me of liking the heat. You wanna go find something to eat? The caterpillars made me hungry for some reason and now I want one of those hotdogs with that bright green relish.”

Necro snorted. "I'm sure there's someone out there who likes this much heat. Just like there's people who decide they wanna live in freezing cold areas." He shivered at the thought. No thanks. Not for him.
"Laugh it up while you can now." He said, sighing in defeat. "I use to be good at stuff like this..." Guess he wasnjust out of his element now.
"I never said I liked it!" Necro protested. "I'm just... use to it. My hair was longer than this, if you could believe it."
He wasn't entirely lying. He definitely had more..
Necro rolled his eyes before making a face. "I don't even wanna know how you see glowing bugs and think 'Ah yes, now I want food'." He said with another sigh before following her to get food.
