Quote: The Leaves (6): With the changing seasons, there are piles of leaves all around Destiny City. It’s a difficult job to try and keep up with them all, and sometimes the allure of these leaf piles is impossible to ignore. Who doesn’t want to relive the childish joys of their youth? And no one’s around to see, right? So why not jump into a pile of leaves? Oh–because, when you do, you jump through one pile and come out of another somewhere else across the city. The leaves all seem ordinary, but there’s a few odd seconds between when you jump into the leaves and when you jump out; it feels like falling, tumbling, somersaulting through the air. It’s not scary, just odd. You see walls of leaves–brown and orange and yellow and red–and they crunch magnificently. Overall, it doesn’t seem menacing, just a bit of trickster fun. If you try to jump in a pile of leaves again, you might wind up somewhere else entirely–or right back where you started.

It was hard to miss the piles of leaves that seemed to have sprung up all over the city - although given the time of year they were perhaps not that surprising.
It was autumn after all, and leaf piles and autumn were things that went together hand in hand.
Ever since meeting Arnica, Sadalsuud had taken to powering up more than she had been - had more often than not finding herself feeding the strays at the small park near her workplace whilst powered.
Not that the denisons of the park seemed to mind whether it was Mi-Hi or Sadalsuud feeding them, the furry strays instead more interested in what the treat of the day was - something that more often than not had been salmon lately.
Today had been a rare day off and so she had made some homemade cat treats for the cats, the small bag currently held in subspace as Sadalsuud made her way towards the park.
There had been quite a few leaf piles too, piles tumbled here and there almost as if the city had given up on keeping track of all of them.
She had managed to keep in the urge to jump in one - barely, but still managed–
At least until this particular pile.
Not that this particular pile of leaves look any different to the ones that she had passed so far - leaves of brown, red, yellow and orange all clustered together into a pile…
But somehow the urge to jump was just so tempting - and it was wasn’t as if anyone was around to see her giving and doing something so childish–
So Sadalsuud had giggled and gone ahead and jumped, the movement sending leaves fluttering up into the air and there was a strange sensation of falling and tumbling.
Strange but not scary strange, the sensation gone so quick that it was hard to tell if she had felt it at all - but the leaf pile that she had jumped out of was not the same one that she had jumped into–
And Sadalsuud found that she seemed to be in a completely different part of the city to her usual haunts.Sleet Tempest Snape Hope this works as a start Sleet. Lmk if I need to tweak anything.

The piles of leaves was expected in the city, fal lwas here and it brougt the leaves with it, al colors were vibrante and warm feeling. It was perfect for this time of year. He knew not to trust everything in the city this time of year, he'd long ago learned that, but he still loved the fall.
Having powered up nearly an hour ago the eternal senshi had been alone tonight, wandering the city, without sensing anyone around him. When someone did ping off his senses he was surprised to note that it was another dark mirror senshi. That in mind, and wondering who it was, he headed in that direction.
The court was small enough that he likely knew who it was, or had at least seen them once or twice, he figured it would be rare to run into someone he'd never seen or met within his court. he liked how small the group was though, he really did, it had him feeling comfortable, safe, and warm within the group...like a family.
Who he found was a surprise though, he hadn't seen her in a while. "Sadalsuud." He spoke, questioning maybe even.

Maybe she shouldn’t have given into the urge to jump into the leaf pile like that, especially since she had lived in Destiny City for long enough to know better - but it seemed like she was still in the city, albeit in a totally different part to the part that she’d been in prior–
And it didn’t look like she’d ended up landing anywhere where there was something scary or something chasing her or flat out trying to squish her.
In fact apart from the whole being in a different part of the city, things actually felt kind of normal–
Well as normal as Destiny City got at any rate.
Not that Sadalsuud was complaining - because she was very happy to take normal and even more happy to take not being in place where something was actively trying to squish her.
Besides it was kind of hard to feel worried or scared when it felt like something had gotten caught up in her hair.
She reached up a hand to check - make that a couple of somethings aka a couple of stray leaves that had somehow managed to get caught up in there.
Distracted as she was, Sadalsuud missed the initial flare of aura, although she had looked up startled as a familiar voice called her name.
Kiuchi.
Sadalsuud felt her stomach sink slightly, even as her cheeks flushed slightly as getting caught out at acting so childishly.
It had been a long while since she had crossed paths with the taller eternal and they hadn’t parted ways on the best of terms either–
Not that it had been Kiuchi’s fault because Sadalsuud was honest enough to acknowledge that it had been her own issues which had caused their awkward parting.
“Hi Kiuchi” she said at last after a few moments of awkward silence, gloved hands fiddling with the leaves for a moment or two before she vanished them into subspace.Sleet Tempest Snape sorry this took me so long, will get to the others asap

"I didn't think I'd see you out tonight, you've been well?" Since the nights in this city got scary, especially this time of year, and it didn't seem like her sort of thing. While Kiuchi might be an eternal, he had the wings to prove it, he was not the most conventional as seen by the panda plushie he held in both his arms. Held to his chest the squishy plushie was rather cute, with pink ovals for blush spots even.
"This city has turned dangerous again." Saying that as he squished his plushie closer to his chest. "I wish this city were safe for just one year, even one holiday season." He wouldn't be too greedy, but he did wish for some safety so a holiday could be properly enjoyed, now that he had a family to enjoy it all with.

"I'm powering up a little more these days" Sadalsuud admitted awkwardly "And yes I am well thank you."
And if her words were a little stilted, then it was less to do with Kiuchi and pretty much all to do with the way that the two of them had parted and Sadalsuud's awkwardness over the whole thing.
She nodded at Kiuchi's comment about the city turning dangerous again, because things always seemed to happen around the holidays - although Sadalsuud would take teleporting leaves any day over some of the other things that had happened in the past–
Well as long as they didn't try to teleport her to somewhere that would try and squish her.
She hesitated and then said "I hope that you are keeping well too Kiuchi" and despite the awkward note in her voice, the words were genuine "And I.. Um.. Like your plushie."
Because the panda plushie with the little pink ovals for blush spots was cute–
And Sadalsuud had always liked cute things.

"Did something happen that has you powering up more? I mean the city is a mess right now..." As if something had happened, maybe a baby spider attack, which had led her to powering up and tyring to keep safe in the city. He could see that being a motivating factor really.
"I'm doing well, thankfully, I've been going out at night in case anyone from the court finds themself in danger and needs help." He might not be Acubens, or some of the courts other eternals, who would dive head fights into a battle but he was still an eternal. He took his posistion as seriously as he could especially since the court had become his family, though he also did have blood related family.
"I like him too." He said while approaching her and holding out the plushie in offering. "I like to keep a plushie and a pillow in subspace at all times...just incase." Cause sometimes he needed it to calm himself ina stressful situation. He also figured it might help someone else as well. He was good at understanding that sometimes something to quish helped calm a person...helped with stress and allowed a person to refocus as well.

"Not really" Sadalsuud said awkwardly "Well at least not recently" she admitted, before frowning at the leaves "Well apart from the weird leaves" because they were technically a thing that had happened recently.
"But I guess in the scheme of things the weird leaves aren't too bad" well at least not compared to some of the other stuff.
She hesitated for a moment before adding "But I kind of promised Arnica that I'd go and explore Mirrorspace with him which means that I have to power up." She paused before adding "And he doesn't seem to mind that I'm not really that great of a senshi which helps."

"No, the werid leaves aren't that bad at all." Not when compared to other things in this city, because it seemed every year around this time strange and dangerous things happened. The leaves were not the best thing to have happen but they were certainly not the worst. He'd heard of a few nasty things happening this fall.
"Arnica?" Not a name he'd heard of, and he knew a fair number of court members. Kiuchi knew he didn't know everyone in the court though, something he might one day rectify, but he was keen to finding out who this member was. "Mmm, I know I don't mind either. We're all different and no one is perfect. We're all ourselves and nothing else. If you ever want to go out for a patrol, and gather some energy, I'm up for it." He really was too, he meant his words. He didn't mind if she wasn't great or even if she was. She was still a dark mirror senshi and that meant more to Kiuchi. They were family.

Sadalsuud nodded "Yes, he's a super senshi like me and mentioned that he knows Mr Rem" her voice turned rueful for a moment as she admitted "We met by chance last year, around November or so." She hesitated for a moment before adding quietly "It was back when Mirrorspace was trying to squish us."
Well it had felt like Mirrorspace had been trying to squish them–
And it wasn't even like it had been the first time.
Her eyes went to the plushie that Kiuchi was holding out and her hand reached out before she dropped it "Would you be okay with me holding it?" Because the plushie really did look adorable.
She hesitated again before adding quietly "And I think that I'd like a patrol partner, if you wouldn't mind me tagging along, but I don't have time to patrol very often."
Not with all of her classes and with work eating most of what time she had outside of classes.
It wasn't the flat out no that it had been from their last meeting however.Sleet Tempest Snape I completely missed out the plushie from my last tag so am referencing it here - I blame sleepy tag

"I think at this point everyone in the court knows Remarque." It certainly seemed it .He was a prince, yes, but it felt more like a family member to Kiuchi. Remarque had helpe dhim when he'd first become a dark mirror, helping him with housing and a job not to mention money. It had helpe dhim get on his feet and build a life for himself. Rhona had than come into his life and helped even further. If only Mirror space could treat them so kindly.
"I wonder sometimes if mirror space will ever become stable and not try and hurt ot kill us. I wouldn't think of ever joining another faction....but I wish it was nicer to us."
"I'm glad you've met someone else in the court and you're close to them." Because the court meant a lot to him. He lived with other court members, including his half sister, it was always nice knowing other people were close to their fellow dark mirror senshi. He was, personally, of the mind that theyh should only date fellow court members. It meant no secrets and it just tightened the court bond and brought everyone closer together.
"Of course you can. I always keep this plushie with me." And he didn't mind letting others hold onto his plushie, or a pillow if they wanted. "I don't mind patrolling with you at all. In fact, I'd enjoy it. I like spending time with our court. I'll keep you safe and you can always text me and let me know when you want to go out."

Sadalsuud nodded in agreement. Because it would have been kind of hard not to know about Mr Rem given that he was the Prince of their court–
But he was really nice for a Prince.
Not that she was so far out of the loop not to know who the Court Royals were, because Sadalsuud was equally aware that Miss Leto was the Princess of their court - but Miss Leto was more someone that she knew of.
"I'm not sure if I'd say that Arnica and I are close" she admitted, because Sadalsuud didn't know the other Dark Mirror super senshi that well - well at least not yet she didn't "But he's nice."
And then she found herself blinking startled when mentioned that he wouldn't join another faction. "I..." She hesitated for a moment before admitting quietly "I didn't know that that was actually a thing."
Not that Sadalsuud could particularly see herself changing factions either–
Because even when she had tried to avoid doing Dark Mirror stuff she had done so by not powering up, had done her best to stay Mi-Hi and pretend that all of the powered stuff was more of a dream that she could shut away and forget.
Not that it had really worked.
She took the offered plushie with a smile after Kiuchi reassured her that it was okay to, absently cuddling it as she admitted "I'd like that - to take you up on that offer to maybe patrol sometimes."
Sadalsuud hesitated for a few moments and then freed up a hand from the plushie so that she could pull out a pen and a small pad of sticky notes from her subspace and then before she could second guess herself she scribbled down her civilian name and a mobile phone number, then after a bit more hesitation she also scribbled down the name of the small park where she fed the stray cats.
She held out the sticky note pad in offering as she said quietly "The park's close to where I work so I go there sometimes" and then laughed slightly, her laughter somewhat rueful as she self-corrected herself "Well when I can really. I feed the stray cats there."
