As the weather began to turn, Angelica was beginning to realize that perhaps she had been given a disadvantage with losing her sweater when she became a super senshi…not that…she didn’t normally run hot but.
With the way that the wind was blowing tonight, she couldn’t stop herself from shivering slightly. Maybe…it would be best to just give this patrol up as a bad job…maybe…
The feeling of another senshi made her rethink that though, and with what was almost a sigh, Angelica grappled with the idea of introducing herself or just…going home to be warm.
Duty won this round, and she made her way towards the senshi, and when the other girl came into view she was glad that she had. “Nice! Halloween and Christmas senshi were obviously made to be friends. I’m Angelica, Senshi of Spruce.” The best part of this, was that she was the senior senshi here. She was a super rank, and this other one was just a basic…though she knew how that had felt.
“I love your fuku so much..ah…” As her eyes fell on the senshi’s legs, she frowned slightly. “...I…hope those are tights and not like…actual stitches on you…?”
There was nothing subtle in Angelica’s words sometimes.

Steins didn't really know what a senshi was supposed to do, even though she'd been one for about two years or so now. When she'd been given her pen, it had been the most uneventful thing. A cat had talked to her out of the blue, said they detected she 'had a senshi starseed,' did a backflip and gave her a pen. They then told her what to say, and she had transformed in to Sailor Steins. The cat had mentioned something about being a magical girl warrior destined to fight Chaos, and then...that was it. The walked off and Steins thought maybe she had had a bit too much to drink at the bar that night, or someone had spiked her drink with something. Apparently not. So it became something she'd tucked away and saved for when she felt like she was in danger - whether that be from monsters, oooor random creeps following her out of the bar and stalking her, well, potato-potahto. Her magic worked just as good on them as it did monsters in that it let her get away to safety. So why was she out here now? Well, that really didn't matter. "Oh?" Amaranth turned in the direction of the words. She'd felt another similar energy approaching, but since it wasn't that nasty chaos energy, she hadn't paid much mind to how close it was, so she was caught a bit off guard. "Thank you! I'm Steins, of Patchwork," she then softly chuckled a bit, and pulled at the tights on her legs, "Yep! Just magical tights! I wish I could find some in normal life that were this durable. But look at you! All Christmas all the time! I hope it's at least a favorite holiday of yours, otherwise, that would really suck. Like, could you imagine being Valentines themed, but also like, totally not in to that kind of thing?" She chuckled a bit more, stiffing just slightly with a hand.

“Oh god, no. Could you imagine just being a pink and red billboard for being single? That…sounds like a literal nightmare.” Angelica shuddered and eyed the tights again. “They are sturdy, which…considering the things that us senshi get into, I’m glad that they’re sturdy. That would be all we would need, costume malfunctions while we’re avoiding swords and angry teeth and all of that.”
It was one thing she hadn’t really had to deal with or think about when she had her pants. Pants were nice and safe…but tights and a skirt? Not so much.
“So! Steins…what does patchwork magic do? Like, that’s a really abstract sphere!” And she was curious…and wanted to know more.

Steins giggled, "Maybe Sailor St.Patty is chronically drunk and pinches anyone not in green. Oop~ I'm safe!" When it came to what senshi were 'supposed' to do, she was clueless, even after these past few years. And she was exceedingly lucky that she hadn't stumbled in to anything worse than she had in that time. "My sphere? Well," She thought about it, "I guess visually it plays it pretty straight, but as far as my magic, I think it plays off the 'something made up of incongruous pieces or parts' definition? I know people's minds seem to get all jumbled when I use my magic. I can only guess their thoughts get all patchy and jumbled up with one thought leading in to another unrelated and random thought? I mean, I've never used it on myself, so I don't know." With that, she gave an animated shrug. "What about you? I don't suppose you're just sprucing the place up a bit?" She could practically hear Domcallion's groan at her pun...and he wasn't even here to hear it!

“We’re both safe from unwanted pinching, so that is a relief.” Angelica chuckled, though tilted her head at the explanation of the magic. “That’s…actually really interesting. I just…kind of have a smoke bomb I guess? That’s the best way that I can think to describe it. Like, super scented candle turned into smoke and just…in your face? Ta da?”
Her lips twitched. “The people that I use it on could do with some sprucing up though. I won’t lie. I hope you don’t end up dealing with as many jerks as I have, you seem nice, and…” She wrinkled her nose. “I was going to try to make a pun of my own like…sounds too much like…patchwork but, it doesn’t work as well as it did when I first thought of it.”
Angelica laughed again and made a face. “You know, I could also be the representative for Arbor day, I’m a real tree-t!”

"Well, some candles can be a real assault on the senses! If it works, it works though! I can't say I've really encountered many people, buuuuuuut I don't go out much either. Some days, life is enough on its own without magical girl shenanigans." Aside from a general ignorance of what a Senshi was supposed to do, her job was a lot, and compounded with demanding ex-boyfriends - really, she didn't care if she never entered another dingy old bar to listen to another home-town wanna-be rock band ever again. That phase of her life was over. Done and dusted. Almost. She just had to break up with the guy. Really, her personal life was kind of at an odd quandary right now, but she supposed when there was another guy you'd rather spend your time with than you own boyfriend, then that was a sign. "Hm! Nice! I guess I should be glad mine isn't healing magic, or else no one would ever hear the end of it about me patching them up. But I'm sure these puns could leave or or two in stitches."

“Hah!” Angelica snorted, shaking her head. “Well, do you want to exchange numbers? I’d love to have a punderful friend like you to patrol with, and there’s safety in numbers, especially when you’re confusing them and I’m.”
Her face went blank for a moment. “Nope. Nope smelling them is not the right phrase but…oh, whatever. I’m just saying we could kick some a**, I’m sure. And it’s always better to have a buddy. They like to be tricky and they like to try to get into your head.”
And they flirt with you and then tell you that they were pretty much stringing you along but.
Steins didn’t need to know that. And she wouldn't have to know that. “So, what do you say? You wanna do this? Get to be a better…ish fighter? Just think of the mischief we could get into, beating the enemy with bad puns! Now, that would be the sphere to have. Senshi of puns. We really got the short end of the stick with our spheres, I think.”

"Sure! I really can't say I know who these weirdos are, but I'd love to help you beat some scents in to them!" Steins giggled, and her senshi phone appeared. She really was just taking all this magic stuff in stride. There was a certain innocent bliss in being completely unaware of the real dangers she was in, and would likely get in to. Maybe one day she'd look back and shake her head in exasperation at her past self. "Right?! Well, they could always be worse. Could be Allergies or Mucus." As someone who worked with flowers, she was pretty sure her own system was used to all the pollen and spores by now. Pet hair on the other hand. Well, she was sure shed get used to the new pupper in her life eventually. Even if it was big enough to ride.

“Ew, no, no that’s gross. The spheres, but that pun, that was A plus stuff right there. When are you free? We should try to do this somewhat often so we can help you get stronger so,” Angelica would have flipped her hair if it had been longer than it was, but instead she just made a motion as though she were flipping her hair.
“So you can keep up with me, but, I’m sure you’ll get there. You can’t have been as lazy and bad at this as I was, I’ve been at this bullshit since 2017 and I only just got up to super rank, so…you’ve got this. We’ve got this!”
Drawing her own senshi phone out, Angelica snapped a picture of her new patrol partner, feeling quite pleased.

That was a long time. Wow. "Oh! well, yeah I guess it has only been a couple years for me so~" It did at least make her feel a little better. Although she'd feel worse if she knew she was actually supposed to be doing something and had responsibilities or could even visit space. If the cats could give them a pen and a phone, why couldn't they give out a handbook, too? But it wasn't like she was getting paid for this magical gig so.... "I'm usually good for most evenings! I try not to stay out too late though. Got to get up bright and early!" Because a certain someone would be popping in to the greenhouse with coffee and she'd hate to miss their little morning coffee dates. Otherwise it didn't really matter when she got up, so long as she got her work done. But she did like the keep a routine. Ruining that could lead to an avalanche of things getting out of hand. She had worked too hard for that to happen.

“Perfect! Then expect me!” Angelica waggled her eyebrows. “We’ll both do this right and we’ll get stronger and we’ll kick a**.”
She would get even stronger and be able to break the heart of Sappho just like she had her heart broken, and hopefully…she’d find some pretty better girl to date who wouldn’t play with her heart. “How about we meet here in a week? Start training? We don’t have to stay out too late, but it’s never too early to start!”
And the time between would give Angelica the time to figure out how best to do this…training that she was preaching because…as great as it sounded…
Chaos couldn’t be defeated by puns alone.

"Will do!"
With plans and promises made, the two senshi were soon to part. whatever came of this so-called 'training,' Steins could at least find some success in having made a comrade!
Steins couldn't stay ignorant of the chaos she was destined to fight forever, and having people she could count on would be the best weapon, or greatest magic she could ever have.
[FIN]
