Beatrix walked down the halls in negaspace as quickly as she could to get to Chrysocolla's office. The eternal had requested her presence for something and she didn't want to keep them waiting. Every week she had come and dropped off the energy blobs and starseeds that she had gathered for the week. Even though she had really been going after the lowest effort targets, she had been pretty on top of her duties. Between her interactions with a few other senshi in the Negaverse and the senshi from the dark mirror court, she had gotten quite the hang of this whole gathering thing. The wad of cash she had stolen from her victims bolstered her morale as well. How could she go back to the daily struggle of trying to make enough to pay rent when she could rob a few people over the week and make enough without having to do much of anything? It was the best and she kinda dug the vibes of almost everyone she had met from her side. She had been lucky to avoid meeting many from the Order side so her goals had been reached and passed with ease. Part of her wondered if it was a meeting about her attitude or how she shouldn't be taking as many starseeds as she had been. Yeah, there had been a few more disappearances from where she had tossed people into the dumpsters after she was done with them but, she had been careful not to get caught. Each time she had grabbed a starseed, she had been in a largely different area of the city as she tried to not clump things in a group. Finally, she reached the door to Chrysocolla's office and knocked evenly on it. "Hello, I'm here as you requested." There was a bit of apprehension in her tone as she spoke, she really didn't wanna deal with getting chewed out.

"You can come in." If there was anything wrong, Chrysocolla's voice didn't betray anything; she had a dull, matter-of-fact tone, fairly level. It was important that Beatrix didn't see her as too fallible! Part of being a commanding officer was seeming untouchable. It kept people in line without her needing to actually put any true effort into discipline.
She was sitting at her desk, hands lightly crossed, and the expression she offered Beatrix was almost a smile. It wasn't much of an expression, but her face defaulted to faintly disappointed no matter what, so it was an easy way to control how she came across. "This shouldn't take too long. Why do you think I asked you to come?" It was good to make the girl sweat a little. And, then, on one side, she had Tama.
She knew Tama was Faustite's cat. Tama also knew this, undoubtedly. But Chrysocolla was going to suck it up and act completely normal about it, because he was the only Mauvian who she'd been able to find on short notice for a promotion for a Senshi he didn't know, and she didn't need Faustite hearing any stupid gossip about her being childish or petulant. More than just with Beatrix, she needed to pay careful attention to the way she came off here.Sara Draconia i am SO sorry about making you wait A Literal Month;;

Tama hadn’t known much about Chrysocolla other than Faustite for some reason had called himself that. He’d, of course, done his homework. But there was only an old report in the database by one now dead officer. And he was not going to ask Faustite. He just sat and observed at first. He liked seeing how each handled their subordinates. Of course, he as a Mauvian, felt subordinate to no one. “Oh, we have a green one here, don’t we?” Tama purred as he watched Beatrix enter, not getting up from his perch on the corner of the desk. ☆

So maybe this wasn't a scolding? Chrysocolla sounded pretty neutral so Beatrix took a few breaths and fixed an equally neutral expression on her face as she opened the door and walked in. Immediately she had to avoid her urge to pet the cat, she knew what they were as Chrys had brought another one in to help her understand her powers. It was a different Mau this time and she wasn't sure who they were close to. Standing in front of the desk, she felt the question was loaded. It left her able to self-incriminate if she wasn't careful. It also led to her making it seem like she could be here for something positive. Running the math in her head, she hoped it was the second option. All those starseeds had to amount to a pretty penny on the quota so maybe this was one of those promotion things she had heard about from the other senshi she had met. "Is it because of my quota and how I have been keeping on top of it since being brought under your guidance?" Keeping her voice even was difficult as the idea of getting more oompf to her magic felt closer now than it had before. She figured it would do both of them well to make her General look good in front of one of the Maus as well as having a professional tone. The whole room felt a bit tense but hopefully, this would be just a quick thing and she could drop the act and probably a few curse words in excitement. She wasn't sure exactly how to address the Mau so she just waved and responded with a Hello. Once she had their name it would probably be a bit easier to talk with them. Meighei Ah sorry for the delay ;;

"...She might be green," that was at Tama, "but she's been really attentive and a quick learner. There's Captains who could be a lot more like that." ...Focus. No need to wander off. This was important, kind of. Important to Beatrix, anyway, and important that Tama didn't see Chrysocolla looking stupid.
Beatrix was a lot easier than Richel, in some ways! She made sense in what she wanted, and she liked being praised. Richelsdorfite was... sharper. Wilder. And probably due for a promotion too, sometime, Chrysocolla would need to check with some Mauvian or another about it... but that would be later. Right now she needed to focus on Beatrix. Who had, at least, said what she'd been asked to say.
"That's... a lot of it, yes." Being more human worked better with Beatrix. It was all that I was a lot like you, you could do this too, and it was a good reinforcement. "But you definitely haven't disappointed me. And this is Tama. Anyway - I called you here because you're ready for a promotion, and there's no reason to make you wait for it." Chrysocolla smiled. She didn't smile too much, which did make it valuable.
"Tama, if you could?" Was that the right thing to say, the right words? It sounded formal. She didn't have a lot of experience to look back on at how promotions should be; hers had all been years and years ago. Even if it'd been special at the time, it'd been a long time since!

“Oh, we have a green one here, don’t we?”Tama eyed Beatrix. She seemed confident enough. Diligent with her quota, too. Good qualities for anyone, really. But what was it that Chrysocolla had said? A quick learner. The Mauvian really wanted to see that trait in action. But this wasn’t his show. At least, not yet. “See. You haven’t disappointed anyone. Hence, a promotion.” Tama tried not to roll his eyes. Not being a disappointment was the bare minimum, but he’d let that slide. He really rather preferred his upgrades with a bit more excitement. Although, his last one perhaps had a bit too much excitement… Best to keep it simple this time around. “Now I’ll need that fancy pen of yours.” He said to Beatrix as he focused on subspace. It produced a dark crystal that he held in his paws. “Do you know what this crystal does?”☆

Being called green felt odd but not wholly untrue as she nodded and watched her general and the cat. Maybe more like shaking the dust off felt a bit better or a reunion tour of an old band but she wouldn't say anything like that. The mention of a promotion left her perking up a bit more since that meant she might see more of her creature in the fog. "I'm glad I've been able to do a good enough job for this thank you." Keeping things polite, she pulled out her pen and held it out towards Tama. "I'm not really sure exactly, is it a nicer way of not having a hand in my chest." She'd barely remembered when she was brought in and then promptly left behind without even getting much training or even really the name of someone to report to. It had been a s**t show but this time things were going a lot better and she felt like she was starting to belong somewhere. This time around she also had started trying to read through the training information, at least a quarter of it so she had just enough to get things done. Maybe she might read more so she could follow along with things better but getting out there and doing things herself had been a better way of managing though, she liked getting her hands dirty instead of reading what felt like stereo instructions.

“It is the better way to do it.”Tama growled at her question, not for her having asked it but because he could still remember when his starseed was corrupted. Faustite had plunged his hand into his chest without a care and manipulated his starseed to his will. To be honest, he was still rather bitter about it. “Sticking your hand into someone’s chest to interface with their starseed is such a savage way to do it. Mauvians have developed a kinder method.”Tama held the crystal up to her pen. For a second, nothing happened. Then, with a flick of his near non-existent tail, a black mass of energy transferred from the crystal to her pen. The pen shook for a second, as if resisting, but it soon stopped and began to glow. The crystal seemed depleted — almost empty of color when it had been pitch black before. “Here is your upgraded pen. Please. Transform for me so I may see your new form.”Daekie I think we can warp this up in the next post.

She'd hit a nerve and tried not to make a face, she'd made a habit of sticking her hands into the chests of civilians and taking starseeds. It wasn't an uncommon thing and she'd not really thought about how it felt for them, it didn't really matter to her how it felt for them. Kinder for her own thing sounded better though, she really preferred not getting banged up too much and she'd gotten better about that this time around. Taking the pen back, Beatrix listened and did what they said. This time when her clothes came back, there were more bones and she could tell she was a bit taller now too. Looking down as she turned her leg, she saw her heels now were little bones and a few inches taller. Nice. An excited little sound came out at both of those new things, almost a little ******** yea but she bit her tongue. She had to try and be on her best behavior as she looked at Chrys with a huge smile. This meant that she'd be able to see more of her creature too didn't it? But it would probably not be a great idea to test that here and now. Tonight though, she'd go out as usual to make her rent, grab a few starseeds, and then try to see what was hiding in the fog. "Thank you, I'll keep at it to make sure I do a good job." She also might read a bit more of the guide to make sure she didn't mess up anything now that she had gotten a promotion.

Chrysocolla wasn't given to being particularly easy to read, and part of that was something she did on purpose, but seeing Beatrix's new uniform made her give a pleased, prideful little smile. "It looks good. Thank you for the help, Tama." She was even perfectly civil when she said it.
"Beatrix, if you have an hour, we should test out your new magic.... it helps to know what ways it's different than what you already had?"
It was phrased like a question. It was, in some aspects, a question; if Beatrix genuinely did have something she needed to get out of Negaspace to do or somewhere she needed to be, Chrysocolla would allow that; she could drag the girl to her at any time, anyway. But sooner or later - and it was seeming like sooner, as in the next ten to fifteen minutes - they were going to find out exactly how the new magic had changed from the old. Timing, strength, uses, all of it carefully noted down.
Senshi like them needed all the help they could get, after all. It wasn't going to compensate for not having a weapon, but it would have to do.Meighei let's just pretend this hasn't been sitting for 9 months. oh my god it's been that long. if you'd like we can call this a fin here bc god knows none of these three actually need or can even use it as a req
