Godiva was sneaking out of Scoops Ice Cream Parlor after having a long night at work. They'd stayed open later and she was the closing shop attendant. Summer was always a good time for sales.
She paused as she locked the door after she determined the coast looked clear. This time of night she always made sure to power up before she left work. Just in case there was something lurking in the Alley way.
There was a small pause as she looked around, she could feel someone nearby . . .

The parks had gotten a bit stale, as much as he loved them. Since the weird goings-on during the festival (none of which he could really recall experiencing, mind), Staurolite noticed fewer and fewer people going through them. A few nights of absolutely no people finally forced his hand. Tonight, he was trolling the city proper.
He felt like Spider-Man, going from roof to roof. Granted without the cool suit or the cool powers, and he was actually looking for some unlucky souls to treat as target practice…
No. No, he wasn’t like Spider-Man at all.
No matter. He sensed someone nearby as well, moved quickly, and soon spotted them from atop the safety of the neighboring building’s roof. With a grin, Staurolite positioned himself so he would be hard to spot, took careful aim, and slung his first shot.

There was a squeak from the peppermint senshi as something went whoosh by her ear and she flinched looking for the source. When she saw Staurolite, "What's the big deal?"
She asked, Godiva wished she had a second person with her, because if this was going to be a fight . . . she wasn't great at solo battles. It looked like it was going to be a fight. "You going to come down here instead of trying to snipe a person and fight them face to face?"
She hoped that this would help get him closer to popping down and making it at least evenish.

The lieutenant grinned from his perch, finding her annoyance more amusing than he probably should have.
“Nah, I’m alright!” he called back, then readied another pellet and quickly fired it off. He slung one more, and then another. It got boring, fast–he had no idea how hunting could be considered a fun sport if this was all there (basically) was to it. So soon enough he did finally get up, and he waved now that he was properly facing his target.
“Evening!" he greeted her as though he hadn't just treated her like live target practice. "Why don’t you come up, instead? I won’t sling another shot ‘til we’re on even ground. How's that?”

Godiva got hit a couple of times in the shoulder and leg. She winced because she tried to move and he declined to come down to face her. Instead he greeted her and invited her up to his ground.
She sighed, of course she wasn't going to get the high ground if she didn't try so he had a point. She looked for thr quickest route up and took his invite, "If you insist!" A few placed jumps and she managed to get on the same ground as him.
She over looked the lieutenant who was clearly part of the negaverse. "So, you failed to answer what the big deal was." She stated as she looked for an opening to try and throw a jab at the negaverse agent for pelting her with pellets, she hoped she connected.

Why he was surprised that she took him up on the offer, he had no idea, but when she first jumped Staurolite positioned himself so there’d be a considerable distance between them. Even if they were on even ground, he still preferred to keep his distance. He had a long-range weapon, after all.
Also he wasn’t the greatest with hand-to-hand. He trained a little, but not enough to be even marginally proficient.
The roof was on the smaller side so he unfortunately didn’t have anywhere to go. He’d make due, though. Slingshots at close-range weren’t all that fun, either, so all he needed was a good opening…
“The big deal is I need to practice on moving targets, and you lot count as moving targets.”

Godiva was too far to try and connect a punch which irritated her a bit, she didn't usually want to punch anyone but this guy just pelting people with his slingshot to have a moving target wasn't really cool either.
She looked around the roof for anything that might be useful to use to throw at the negaverse agent, she made sure to keep him within her field of vision as she tried to scan the rooftop. "There's other things that you can use as moving targets you know." She added, "Like those little carnival games with the ducks and you win a prize."
She took a step sideways to see if she could try to circle the roof. When she saw a smaller plastic bucket that had been discarded by what she assumed was the maintenance team since it looked like a patch adhesive which was empty.

Staurolite made a face at her suggestion. “That’s where I started,” he said, mirroring the other’s movements. As long as he could keep a decent distance, all he really had to do was catch an opening and he could sling his next shot.
“It got boring after a while, and I got pretty decent, so I thought I might start the real deal.”
He got a shot ready as he took a sidestep like her. He missed the bucket sighting, though, and instead stopped moving so he could take aim.

Godiva watched as he made a face, well at least he started somewhere. But she couldn't help but think his slingshot was a little bit of an annoyance. "Okay so why not use your youma things they'd make better moving targets I'm sure."
She knew it didn't work that way but if she could keep him distracted by absurdity she figured that would help a lot. She continued to move towards the plastic bucket not taking her eyes from him for longer than a second to make sure she was still headed in the correct direction.
She realized he stopped and was taking aim. She was a few steps from the bucket and made a quick half jump towards it in order to kick it up into her hands. The next move was either to kick it at his head or use it to catch those dumb little pellets he had to pelt her with. . . she was watching him though debating which way to go...

”Youma are also boring.” His words came out slowly as he tried to focus. “Also they’re not the friendliest to lower-ranked agents like myself.” He wasn’t shy of the fact that he was still in the lower wrung as far as the Negaverse was concerned. Nothing wrong with that, though the point now was to try and make his way up the ladder.
Better late than never, right?
He slung his shot just as she half-jumped in some direction, clicking his tongue at the miss and quickly sidestepping again as he reloaded. Still hyper-focused, he didn’t see the bucket. “So who’re you supposed to be, exactly? I don’t wanna keep calling you ‘target’ or some other vague term. Seems rude.”

He called youma boring and that they weren't friendly to the lower ranks. She made a mental note of that. "Oh so when are they friendly to you?" She asked still trying to distract him from his concentration.
When he missed she stepped back again and she heard the question of who was she.
"Godiva." She answered with a pause, "Senshi of peppermint." That was when she took her chance to grab the bucket and kick it towards him. She hoped it would buy her a few minutes to try and rush him. She also called her attack, hoping that she could use the peppermint as a distraction since the peppermint smell was fairly poignant even if she couldn't her hands on him. "Cool as peppermint!"its_ p a o Cool as Peppermint!Godiva calls this attack to summon magical oils on her hands, when she touches someone with this attack, (friend, foe or herself) they instantly begin to feel a cooling sensation. This sensation maybe slightly distracting but if the targeted person has any injuries they feel slightly relieved from the pain; or if there is an irritant affecting their breathing this relieves some of the symptoms. The magical oils on her hands can last up to 30 seconds and she can use this attack twice. However, she only has enough oil for one target at this stage each time she summons this attack, and the effects last until the magical oil 'vaporizes'. This attack leaves a faint scent of peppermint for a short time after its disappeared.

”Godiva, like the brand of chocolate?” He imagined she got that question a lot. The sphere didn’t feel like it was a fit to the name, but then again Senshi power themes were just beyond him. In his tenure he’d run into enough that it made him wonder if anything and everything in the universe was fair game. Was there, perhaps, a Senshi of Life? Death?
Or maybe less serious things, like… Angler Fish? Salmon Roe? Eggs?
Those would make for excellent slingshot pellets.
He was about to actually comment, but the next thing he knew a bucket was headed straight for his face.
He managed to dodge a direct hit to the face. Unfortunately it hit him on the arm instead, and he dropped his slingshot in the process. To top it off, there was a sudden, overpowering smell of peppermint that he imagined had to be her magic. Rather than dive for his slingshot, the lieutenant instead used his now free hand to plug his nose.
LLP Feel free to rush him! o/

Godiva paused when he asked if her name sake was like the brand of chocolates. "Yes." She answered with a shrug.
She realized that the scent of peppermint did actually have the LT trying to plus his nose. So apparently a lot of people didn't care for peppermint, she quickly took the chance to move towards him and while he didn't have much skin to put the peppermint oil on she aimed for his shoulders or hand which he was holding his nose with. Hopefully where ever she managed to grab on him would leave the peppermint to assault his senses.its_ p a o Feel free to pick where she manages to get the peppermint oil if she connects!

He dodged as best he could, but the peppermint was getting everywhere.
At least it certainly seemed like it did since the smell just wasn’t going away. Particularly when she tried to get the hand that was blocking out most of the smell and he dodged wrong and a bit got on his cheek. It actually caused a nice cooling sensation given the heat, and he almost wanted to thank her for the bit of relief.
He dodged as best he could, but soon enough he stumbled back and tripped over the bucket that she’d kicked at him just moments earlier.
“Timetimetime!” he called, arm up and flailing just before he landed with a great thud. Staurolite looked rightly uncomfortable now that the peppermint was all up in his plugless nose, not to mention falling on his butt. “I don’t have a white flag but just lemme wave a proverbial one.” He sounded like he had a stuffy nose. “That’s a lot of peppermint, and I also don’t know where my slingshot went.”

Godiva stopped as soon as he called time, oh he seemed to have enough well. That was good. There was a sheepish look on her face when it sounded like he had a stuffy nose.
"Oh!" She looked around really quick and bounced over to where his slingshot was and picked it up. Just because he started it doesn't mean she wouldn't try to at least get a bit of a truce.
"Here it is!" She bounced back and offered her free hand to help him up. "Truce?" She asked as she waited to see if he'd take the hand and before she gave his slingshot back.
