He'd been alone for so very long, and thought he'd forever remain as such, wandering his planet with no one for company. He spent his time reading and hiding from the agressive heat that plagued the planet. Roaming the underground tunnels, and homes, the senshi of glaze had taken tio reading everything he could in order to keep the voices at bay. He kept hearing the voices of people as they died, as they begged for help, anything which could ease their suffering. He kept hearing the voices in his head taunting him...telling him they had brought this upon themselves. They'd caused it by going too far...by destroying too much of their planet.
The books and papers, scrolls, and randoms slips of paper that he read helped to keep him focused - sort of. He wgot caught in memories of people, stories, and bits of information that were all useless now. All the information they'd hoarded about other people, from other planets, were all useless now. There was no one here to use it and no one to use it against even.
Food was scarce and just enough to keep him alive but for how much longer? The taste was bland, the spices they'd once used in their meals were no longer growing, and most foods were thin and rather unappatizing. The food was forced down, out of sheer need to eat and an unwillingness to just give in, but it almost sat wrong in his stomach and left him feeling ill as his stomach churned and protested.
Tonight was no different than every other night...until it wasn't the same. Something pulsed and his head lifted from where it was pillowed on some stuffed furs. What was that? A surge in energy and he could feel a pull...to where he didn't know but he also didn't ask questions. If something was reaching out to him he had a duty to respond to it. So he did just that.
Selinur focused on the pull and let it take him. bringing him to some otehr planet he caught flashes of darkness and bright lights and it was all a rush as he fell from the sky.Prepairing for a likely hard impact, which it was, he found himself getting wet as water went up into the air and the senshi of glaze landed in a fountain. Breaking the already disturbed surface he came up sputtering and spitting out water, snorting it out of his nose as well. That was when he took the time to look around and sniff at the air. This place wasn't his home...but it wasn't any place he could remember either.
Sitting in the pool of water, glancing about, he wasn't sure what to do exactly. He'd been alone for so long and now all the sounds and other bits of sensory information was overwhelming and had him swaying as he stood up and made to climb out of the fountain.

The night had been mostly peaceful, despite the heat that had rolled in over the last few weeks. The hospital she worked at had gotten busier with all the people coming in for heat-related illness, but in contrast, it seemed like her night life had gotten more and more quiet. Likely, people were avoiding the heat and staying home... she wanted to do the same, but there was that ever present nagging feeling that she needed to at least... go out for a little bit. Patrol, make sure no one was up to anything they shouldn't be.
She was always glad at the end of it to head home to her air conditioning and a cold drink. That was what she was day dreaming about, in fact, as she walked down the sidewalk through the park, hoping a breeze might kick up and relieve some of the heat. She'd pushed her hood back and pulled her hair up into a messy bun on her head, hoping some air might cool the damp back of her neck. Tendrils fell from her up do to curl by her face and stick to it.
Ida startled as... something popped right out of the air before her, falling into the fountain at the center of the courtyard with a splash that sent water flying everywhere. Was that... a person? A Negaverse agent maybe? But then, why had they fallen into the fountain? As far as she had seen, whatever agents had the ability to teleport always seemed in control of it, enough to use it in a fight to out maneuver their opponents. They never... teleported into a fountain, that she knew of.
The senshi approached with slow, cautious steps. Whoever it was, they were struggling their way up out of the water now and climbing free, their entire outfit and pale hair soaked through from the dunking. Oddly enough, she caught a glimpse of grey animal ears on top of their head, reminding her distinctly of Fang...
"Hey!" She called out, keeping a careful distance. It was still hard to tell who, or what, this person was and she didn't much care to get stabbed because she got too close to a Negaverse agent.

As he climbed his way out of the fountain, his feet touching the ground surrounding the stone basin, the senshi of glaze ice took the time to finally look around. His hands were busy, just ashis eyes were, as they worked to wring out his clothing as best they could and try to gently get some of the water otu of his tail. "I'm going to stink..." He didn't much care for the smell of his own wet fur, not really, and anyone who had smelled wet fur knew what that was like. There was no way someone could debate him on that.
When he did spot someone he took a moment to look them over. "Senshi." They had to be. They hit his senses as a senshi but he hadn't seen a fellow senshi, though they did look rather bland to him, in suc ha long time. For a moment the normally calm, and even a bit frosty, senshi felt his eyes misting up. "I have not seen another senshi, or person, in nearly a thousand years..." His words were spoken calmly, softly, as if she might vanish and he didn't need that. He was someplace new, as he was sure he wasn't dreaming or hallucinating, he kenw what he'd felt and he knew he was some strange place.
"Where is it that I've been called." His ears twitched, though they were both weighed down by water, and he had suck it up and deal with it till he could get himself dried off properly.

Ida couldn't help gaping in surprise when a young man spoke, realizing as he moved that he was another senshi and... he had ears and tail the way Fang did, because as she got closer, she saw them move.
His voice was low and rich, and in contrast to Fang, his outfit was green and his fur, silver. Cool colors, next to the rich, warm browns.
A thousand years?
"Did you... did you just arrive? Where did you come from? How... how did you get here?" How were these senshi getting here? Had she just witnessed the arrival of one? And she didn't even know how it had happened... But his question reminded her that perhaps he had as many as she did.
"My name is Ida." She offered, coming back to herself. "You're on... Earth, I guess. Do you know that name?"
For that matter, how did he speak English? Was it magic, making them able to communicate?

"I felt a surge of energy, something I unexpected as I'm been alone for so long, and a call. I reached for the energy in order to leave my home planet - it was near death." He said near to death because he still lived, it had been able to sustain him, and there was still a few things exsisting on the planet. He'd needed food in order to not waste away...and his planet had done it's best to provide that, that had been it though. Homes were in ruins and empty of life but full of memories. It was strange but he'd gone into the homes of other people, those long dead, to read and keep himself occupied. He'd traveled his whole planet and nosed around as much as he could, to keep from losing his own sanity. It had hurt, to read things people had wrote and realize they were gone, but it had helped in a way. In death the people of Selinur had helped their senshi - who had failed them.
As he listened to her he nodded slowly. "Ida, I am Selinur....and I remember Earth." He said slowly, thinking about it." It was part of the silver millenium - wasn't it? So then the moon there - above them." Staring up for a moment. "But that ended...I was young then - eighteen when it fell and when my own planet started to fall as well." Had it really been so long?
This was Earth though...and the moon above had been home to the silver millenium. This planet looked nothing like he'd heard of before, in the past, when tourists and others would visit his homeworld. He'd never come here himself, prefering his own planet and his own people.
"I was never here myself. But I remember hearing about it. I never plannedon visiting either." Yet here he was - on Earth. But it wasn't back then, it was now, and he had no choice. He hadn't known where he was going but he knew he was going somewhere else - someplace with power and life. "I answered the call because I cannot help my planet while I am on it. It has not the energy to continue to sustain me. I need to be elsewhere so I can work out a solution to the situation and revive my planet. From here I can try and I can give it a rest, it needs it." Never mind how long he'd been away from any people to talk to, about anything, and his own needs.

Ida was... well, stunned. He had been eighteen when the Silver Millennium fell. That had been... hundreds and hundreds of years ago. And his planet was dying... likely affected the same way Ida had been, though she couldn't imagine how he had managed to survive there for so long.
"What are you... going to do now?" She said after a moment. "Do you have people to help you, or...?"
She couldn't think what happened after someone just... up and left their planet for another one, in the hopes of finding some way to save it. The Valencyans seemed to think teaming up with the Negaverse was the way to go about it. He'd never even been on Earth before... it would be worse than visiting another country, with cultures and languages completely foreign to your own. At least in another country, everyone was still your species. What was this senshi going to do here, as possibly the only one of his kind?
"I should warn you that Earth is not a safe place. We are at war with an army of Chaos. We've been at war for... years now. You'll need a safe place to stay, and some way to pass as human... Most humans don't even believe aliens exist, you couldn't show yourself like... well, as you are now." She said, feeling her way through the complicated logistics of all of this.

"Simple, I am going to work out how to save my planet and do just that." He would save his planet and restore it to it's glory, with perhaps some changes. "I have no one, no one remains on Selinur." He'd been the last and he was here...his planet was devoid of life - for now. He would fix it, he had to. He just needed time...time to learn and regroup, to plan, and he would return to his planet. He was it's senshi and it's only hope.
"Chaos, that is something which fills the Cosmos in varried forms. I assume however, you mean that there is a lack of balance here and the chaos which resides here wishes ill will upon the people here..." He spoke, of course he was making an assumption but she said they were at war with it. "Who is this we you speak of?" He than asked, wondering just what this senshi was talking about. She couldn't possibly mean the people, the humans, of this planet...could she? If she did than he assumed the people here were strong and knew of senshi if they were fighting with er - hence the we she used.
"But you are an alien - you are not the senshi of Earth but of Ida - as you said. The humans here - what do they look like if I look so different? Have people from elsewhere not been here recently?" The moon and the Earth had once hosted many beings from all across the Cosmos, was that not true any more? Did that end when the Silver Millenium fell? No one came here any more, but this senshi was from Ida and not Earth so that couldn't be true either. He'd been left unable to get word out to anywhere, nor recieve word, since the fall. He'd missed a lot.
"Perhaps it is best if we find a place to go for the night and you can explain things to me. It would seem I need to learn many things if I'm going to remain here." And he would, he supposed, need to look like one of these normal humans. How bad could it be? They couldn't look that bad - right?

"Oh.... yes." She said faintly, realizing for the first time the depth of knowledge he was lacking. And the more she thought about it, the more she knew he was going to need explained to him. Everything from how to function as a human to the history of the war...
"Why don't you come home with me?" Ida said, putting aside her complicated feelings. "I have extra space. You can stay as long as you like, and its safe. I can explain anything you need to know, and if I don't know it, I can help find out. I was born here and I'm human, though my starseed is the senshi of Ida. Its like that for many senshi here. We've all been reborn here on Earth, in this city. We didn't even know there were still senshi out there, outside of Earth. We... I thought everything had died, like our planets."
But more and more, they were finding that wasn't true. Secret pockets of life still existed out there, drawn here for some unknown reason to search for a way to bring life back to the rest of the cosmos.
"Come on, my home is this way." Ida said as she turned. "Are you hungry? I don't know what you eat, but maybe we can find something for you along the way."

He would have said no normally, he'd never really traveled off his own planet, his people didn't mingle too much with others unless it was for work. But here, on this planet, he was in need and Ida could provide what he needed and not just in the way of a place to stay but information...and information was power. He needed to know whatever he would. "If it isn't too much to ask, I would like to accept your offer. I'm going to need to learn a lot and, as you said, you were born here and have been involvedin what's going on." Whoelse could he hope for to find him here, she could help him in the most pressing ways.
"Lead the way." Making a small gesture for her to do just that. "It is unusual for so many senshi to be reborn here, as you say many have. A miracle if you will." Turning his blue eyes to the stars above he shook his head slowly. "I wonder why...why not spread you all out across the cosmos. Surely some places till live." Though perhaps they did not thrive as htey once had. It was strange and had him wondering what exactly was going on - because something was going on.
"Food would be nice, if it's not too much trouble. Something warm and savory would be good." He didn't go into likes and dislikes,. not yet, he did not want to seem ungreatful or a bad guest. He knew about hospitality, he had to, and he wanted to be a good guest...even as he learned and explored this city.
Whimsical Blue Yup, we can call this done and go for another rp. On ward!
