Quote: The Wishing Tree (1): A Destiny City Star Festival Tradition to be held every year; In Town Square, there is a beautiful tree with spreading branches. It is tall, but the lowest branches are easily reached. The city has decorated the tree with small, starlike ornaments and glistening lights. Thick leaves and beautiful purple flowers dangle from the branches, along with a myriad of different colored papers with handwritten wishes. Next to the tree is a stack of blank paper with twine attached, and a handwritten sign that explains: Write your wish on a sheet of paper and tie it to the tree. Take one wish off the tree and do your best to grant it. When you have granted the wish, bury the paper in the park. The papers are biodegradable and filled with seeds. There are no rules for wishing, but you are encouraged to wish for something vague enough that it can be interpreted in many ways so that it can be granted; you do not write your name on it, but it is encouraged to write something that doesn’t wish for self gain, but rather something that can make the world a better place. Some wishes dangling from the tree already include things like “I wish there wasn’t so much litter in the park,” “I wish someone would clean the graffiti off the old historic buildings,” and “I wish there were more volunteers at the shelter.” If you choose to use the Wishing Tree, what do you wish for? If your wish is private, you may write it on the paper and choose a spot in the park and bury it yourself instead of hanging it on the tree.
Confident he was as he walked towards the tree to investigate it. it was late enough that no one else was around so he could easily investigate things himself without the worry of a civilian seeing him, without questions.
After some time, and reading the message on what to do, he'd picked up a small slip of paper and wrote down his own wish. He couldn't wish for his own home planet, that would be rather suspicious, so he wrote down that he wished more people would care for the enviornment. That was simple and to the point he figured, it also was something close to home for the senshi of glaze ice, so he set about tieing his note up before poking about for a wish to take and set about fulfilling. Some were ratehr self centered, if you asked him, but others were more worthy. But which one to take?

Lacille was patrolling the wishing tree she watched as people made their wishes and other people took them to try and make them come true so their wish would come true in return. She wondered what she should wish for and she really wasn't sure it wasn't like she could wish that the negaverse would take a vacation and let her take one as well. She sighed and found a piece of paper and decided to wish for "Things to be less chaotic, so I can have a vacation." She laughed softly to herself and tied it to the tree. She figured that any knight or senshi would understand without her spelling it out. She also figured it was a fairly easy wish for a knight or senshi to defeat a neganerse agent or a youma and the world might be a little more peaceful. Then again there always seemed to be enough work for every knight and senshi in the city and the work never seemed to end. There was no work shortage for the order, there was a pay shortage. Meaning they didn't get paid at all, they did this for the city. She wasn't sure any of them knew why they did it though.

Selinur, who had just grabbed a slip of paper from the tree, could sense someone else...another senshi. Pausing in what he was doing, pocketing the slip of paper, the deep space senshi went to moove around the tree and find the senshi - he was sure they were here. He was just thankful for the lack of civlians here this late, he didn't want people noticing that his ears and tail actually moved....that they were real.
"Senshi." He called out.

Lacille was so confused she had never been called out as a senshi when just standing around, it was really strange. She quickly walked over to him and frowned "Are you trying to tell everyone in the city what I am?" Then she scrunched up her face as she looked him over and noticed he was different from every senshi she had ever seen before. Then again perhaps it was just his outfit and she was making a big deal out of nothing at all. She shook her head and sighed "I'm Lacille, senshi of books who are you?" She asked softly.

"No one is here." He pointed out. He hadn't been that loud either, not when no one was around them. As he looked his ears moved, as if they could catch sounds, he was sad to say his hearing was no where near what it should be - what it once was. It was a shame and it was still a jarring change in things for him.
"Selinur, senshi of glaze ice." He stated as he bowed his head once to her, he wasn't familiar with the hand shaking thing...it felt too informal and something you'd do with a person you were close with. It wasn't done at all on his planet...they hugged each other but they were all close to each other...they were all brothers and sisters as far as his people had been concerned. Bowing was formal and distant...it was used for those who weren't family - others.

Lacille looked around and she nodded in agreement, "I guess you are right, it's nice to meet you." She looked him over and it didn't click to her that he wasn't just a normal senshi and it likely wouldn't unless it was slapped in her face. Then again perhaps the blunt nature should have been a clue to her. It was hard to say. She smiled and then said "Well how are you enjoying the festival?" She had been enjoying the festival even while it was strange and confusing at times. Caves that seemed to get one lost fast than it found one found. Fireflies that shocked the hand that touched them and so much more.

"It is interesting and new." Festivals on his own planet were not like this. They were private, amongst his own people only, and kept to themselves. They never spoke about them to those visiting his planet, it wasn't their business, so they were also confined as far as space went. Nothing was out in the open...deep in the woods and in underground tunnels and rooms and the like.
"All to celebrate stars....it is a lot.." He wondered what otehr holidays would be like here, and what things they did celebrate. It was something to ask Ida about but not now, he had other more important things to do whilst on this planet. Holidays were nto one of them...though perhaps he would, in time, manage to figure out a time appropriate to celebrate his own homeworlds holidays...or when to return to his homeworld to celebrate there? He'd kept to the holidays even when isoliated on his planet, due to no one else being ali ve, to the best of his ability...it wasn't easy though and it did hurt emotionally. But he wasn't goign to forget his peoples ways even when he was the only one left.
That was one thing they had not forgotten even whilst cutting down their trees and building, and destroying their enviornment, it was their holidays and beliefs. They had kept them...in some twisted way. Because how can you thank nature for what it's provided whilst cutting down too many trees for nature to sustain itself? He should have seen it - should have known. But he'd been as caught up and corrupted as everyone else. He saw it now...time and seeing the end results had done a lot for him.

She nodded "I imagine it is overwhelming if you haven't been to a festival like this before, my first anime convention was overwhelming as well but you get used to it over time." She smiled "I'm sure you will be alright and then you will find your place in the city. Everything will be alright." She said perhaps to him and perhaps to himself as she was worried about the state of the city often times as well.

What was anime? That was the first thought to come to him, it clearly wasn't something their worlds had in common. Maybe it was some modern thing? He didn't ask though, not thinking it too important at the moment, it would be something he'd look into at some point however, he was working on a lost of things to look into. He just had to figure out how to figure which were the most important things to look into, as some of them he was clueless on so had no idea how to prioritize them. He'd manage though - he had to.
"Perhaps I will, though I do not intent to remain here longer than needed." Though how long would that be? Even if he fixed his own planet there wouldn't be life there for a long time, he was certain of that, and the fight here against chaos was still going on. He couldn't very well leave here for his home planet whilst there was still a battle to be fought here. He had to help. He was a senshi after all and there were senshi here, many of them, who needed help.
He would eventually leave for home...and remain there and run things but not now - not yet. He had much to do here.

Lacille wasn't really sure what he meant, but she nodded anyway. "It was nice meeting you, I better get back to my patrol." She said in a friendly tone.
