His meeting with Murikabushi had left Daedalus feeling....well. In some ways, better. In others, much, much worse.
He was on Earth. It had been....an uncountably long time, since he has fallen asleep. Or, fallen into stasis, he supposed. Here on Earth, there was Chaos in forms he never could have imagined before. Chaos that infected people, that warped them. That changed the very nature of a Senshi, into one of its servants.
He'd slipped out of the park where he'd landed, because it seemed to be a hotspot of activity, and he wasn't sure if he was ready to meet someone that might be more aggressive.
The problem was, he had no idea where to go. If he had to, it wouldn't be his first time sleeping on the streets, but doing that in an unknown place, on a world that was apparently unused to nonhumans.....the prospect was deeply unpleasant.
He would have to find somewhere to shelter. That was non-negotiable. But how?

Julienne didn’t really get out much. She was still upset due to losing Lenka, and Adria never seemed to need her with Soleiyu always around, and so she had taken to just…staying hidden most of the time. There wasn’t much else to do. But the night air was fresh and lovely tonight so a walk was a good idea…and honestly…when she felt the Senshi aura, she thought that perhaps it could have been a very good idea indeed.
Swiftly, the Mauvian padded her way over to the source of the aura and sat down as she stared at him.
…Horns. Okay. That was fine. Horns were fine, Just like Daphne’s tail or…the others that Soleiyu mentioned. Fang and…Alastor…
“I take it you’re from space, yes? Welcome to the Earth…you must be terribly confused right now…”
He was confused and she could help...and boy. Did that ever feel good.

A Mauvian. Daedalus couldn't help but smile as soon as he saw her, even before she spoke up. Fluffy, wearing a hat, and with the telltale star--yes, this was one of the guides of the Senshi.
Mauvians were always a good thing to see.
"I am, yes," Daedalus acknowledged. "Less confused than I could be--I ran int someone quite helpful right after arriving--but.....I wouldn't say I have a full grasp on my situation," he confessed. "I'm Sailor Daedalus. And you?"

Of course, there was no way she’d actually get to be the first person he spoke to. Knowing her luck, Soleiyu had already spoken to this fellow and he had everything figured out…but. He said that he didn’t have a full grasp so…
“My name is Julienne, it’s lovely to meet you, Daedalus…may I ask what it is that you aren’t quite understanding? And may I ask if it was another Mauvian that you met upon arriving or if it was another Senshi…or perhaps a Knight?”
Maybe it hadn’t been Soleiyu after all, perhaps she’d get a chance to help this one on her own. It would be nice to be needed again. “I’m more than happy to answer anything that you’re not sure about, and I can help you get a glamour so that you can fit in a bit better around here…I’m sure you’ve noticed that most people don’t have horns. There are a few turning up but it's still quite rare!”

Daedalus exhaled. "The pleasure is all mine, Miss Julienne." It was, really. As much as being Sailor Daedalus had been...a mixed bag, at minimum, that wasn't the fault of the Mauvian who had Awakened him. He'd always done his best to help Daedalus and ensure that he was safe.
"I met a Dark Mirror Senshi, by the name of Murikabushi. He could tell me quite a bit about the situation with Chaos on your planet, and made sure I had something to eat and water, but that was all." Self-consciously, he reached up to pat his horns, and smiled wryly.
"I gather Earth isn't used to visitors from off-planet anymore, then," he said. "If you can help me blend in, I would appreciate that greatly. And...if you happen to know if there's somewhere I could stay?"

A Dark Mirror Senshi. The very thought made Julienne’s fur stand on end, puffing her up to nearly twice her size. “...I see. You do know that they are part of the Chaos on our planet…and. That Chaos destroys just as much as the Chaos of the Negaverse…of course I can help you blend in…and as for a place to stay…”
She thought for a moment as she gathered the inner resources to produce the needed items for Daedalus. “...I have an idea of where you could stay. She was the mother of my old bonded Senshi…” Drawing in a breath, Julienne produced a Senshi phone for Daedalus and began to tinker with it, trying to figure out if she wanted to share so much so quickly.
“But she was forcibly taken by the Mirror, so I hope you can understand my aversion to the Dark Mirror Senshi…”

Daedalus frowned. Clearly, JUlienne had dealt with the Dark Mirror--and not nearly as positively as Daedalus's small experience had been. Perhaps that made sense, all things considered; hed only met one of them, but Julienne...
"He did say so, yes. That they were Chaos, and dangerous. He seemed....deeply displeased with his position." Not that such made up fro what had apparently happened to Julienne. "I am sorry that your Senshi was taken from you. I promise, I don't intend to extend too much trust to Chaos. It..." Daedalus's shoulders dropped. "I have no idea, the extent of the damage it did to my world. But it was bad, even before...well. I've spent....quite a long time in magical stasis."
In his own tomb.
For a moment, he felt as if the walls were closing in around him again, but--no, he was on Earth, in open air, and he was safe.
"If you think her mother won't mind, I....would greatly appreciate the generosity."

“Honestly…I think having someone living with her, depending on her, would be very good for her. I’m often worried that she’s going to simply drink herself to death. She hasn’t taken the loss of her daughter very well at all. She’s a Knight of Venus so, she’ll understand…but I do hope that you’ll help her if you can, just…ah. Maybe act a little pathetic and needy for a while? Allow her to mother you for a bit?”
Julienne lifted the phone into her mouth and pushed herself up on her back paws, nearly reaching his waist with her front ones as she stretched to give him the phone. “This will help you adjust. You can get yourself a human glamour for while you’re not powered up, and it will allow you to make contacts with others. I…I’ll see about having some others from your situation reach out to you, I know a few and I’m sure they’ll be happy to meet a friend. Um.”
She looked thoughtful, her tail twitching. “Just be safe. I’ll stay watching over you, if you’d like me to.”

Daedalus grimaced, briefly. The thought of having to be helpless, to expose his weakness, was....not appealing, but then, perhaps it would be the best course of action.
And, anyway, he was a stranger in a strange land, cast adrift from everything and everyone he'd ever known. He did need help. He would have to accept it somehow, beyond just the basics.
"I can do that," he said. Besides, he'd never really had a mother. Older people who looked out for him and some of the other kids, occasionally, but his parents had been overwhelmed, and then they were dead, and he was alone. "Thank you, for your kind assistance."
He took the phone, and turned it over, tilting his head to the side.
"What a fascinating device! Is this what Earth technology looks like, or is Mau ahead of the curve as always?" He wished there was a way to take it apart. His fingers itched to fiddle with the mechanics. But it seemed to be a solid piece, difficult to separate. "And I'd be glad to meet others in my position. And to have you looking out for me. Seems luck is on my side, for once."

“Honestly? It’s pretty much up to Earth standards of technology, though the magic aspect is obviously Mau tech, but. The Earth has a lot of new things to mess around with. I’m sure you’ll like it here. Come on, I’ll take you to meet Bellatrix, can you go ahead and test your glamour for me and power down? It’ll be easier to get there as a human…well, looking like a human. And you can carry me, for I am…” Julienne gave a very dramatic sigh.
“...Very lazy. But, I’ll tell you where to go and I’ll be there to help explain things to her, and if she doesn’t agree…we’ll figure out plan B, but. I can’t see her refusing.”
…At least Julienne hoped that she wouldn’t refuse. It would be very, very awkward if she did…
