(( Takes place at the conclusion of this rp ))Illyria's gaze was locked on the mouth of the alley in which they resided in currently before taking in Fragaria's form before nudging the phone she'd dropped a bit closer before summoning a small object of her own and gently picking it up between her paws. She glanced around once more before pushing down the top of the pen-like item to activate her own disguise. In a matter of seconds a young woman stood before the newly awakened chibi senshi of strawberries before she carefully adjusted the bag that made up part of her disguise.
"I have about three hours in this form. I have a lot that I need to pass onto you in terms of information."
Illyria looked down at her human feet before looking back to her new charge, "I am sorry by the way. I just didn't want to see someone get injured and then I felt the spark inside that spoke of potential."
Illyria's mouth twitched as she studied Fragaria. "Now if you power down we can grab something, anything you want and it'll be my treat and way of apologizing." xchi honda So Illyria's hair during her glamour time of three hours is basically her human guardian appearance but mostly just blue curls throughout.

Fragaria quickly held the pen and wished in her head to go back to her normal form. After all this strawberry outfit would really standout otherwise. With all the wishes in her heart she felt herself transform back. Before she knew it she was back to being her ordinary human gamer girl form.
She nodded her head, "I'd love any information you can give. I feel like this was a video game I was thrown into and I have no idea about the rules." The thought of not knowing how to play a game of any kind baffled her. She always knew how to at least make her way through without fail. Maybe they could help make her way through this game successfully - if that is what this was even.
She quickly followed near Illyria and when she heard her apoligize she stopped. "You have no need for apology. You did the best thing in the moment, you knew how to win the fight. So thank you. As for the treat that sounds wonderful! How about some strawberry boba?" She pointed in the direction of the strawberry boba pop-up restaurant. Since she was originally heading there anyways. She figured that would be the perfect strawberry treat for the conversation.

As she listened to Fragaria's explanation about being dropped into a video game without knowing the rules Illyria felt the corners of her mouth twitch up into a smile. That was one interesting way of looking at the scenario in which a person was awakened into a senshi. Anyone lucky enough (or was it unlucky) who found themselves a part of the powered war that had overrun Destiny City could very well find the experience unnerving at first before growing into their respective roles.
Her voice, soft at the moment, mused on that relevation, "I'd say that's probably the same for everyone who finds themselves in your shoes, so to speak."
If anything, the one budding positive from this encounter with a new senshi awakening was the total opposite of reactions. If Fragaria was open and receptive to what she had to explain then it would be a boon to the both of them. Illyria was keen to sit down and talk away from ears that could overhear but in order to do so, entreaties had to be made: in this case, it seemed like strawberry-boba tea was the solution. Even as she took the lead to head in the direction that the girl had pointed her in did Illyria glance over her shoulder before nodding in acceptance, "just order what you like and I'll cover the cost. Oh, and to get my attention, just call me Ria when I'm like this."
She needed more information from the new chibi senshi of strawberries afterwards though and hoped that Fragaria would be open to divulging needed data. Even as they both stepped into the restaurant's interior did Illyria make a shooing motion towards the counter as she browsed the selection of treats that seemed abundant. She hoped it wouldn't take long for her attention to be caught by her new charge.

Saskia was glad to hear she wasn't the only one who felt this way. It bothered her not knowing something. Especially when it had anything to do with video games, since video games were her specialty. At least she considered them to be. Now she needed to learn this new game at all cost. Since this new game looked like it had real life costs.
She quickly order her strawberry boba with regular sugar and light ice. As she said, "Well thank you for paying, I appreciate it!" She waited for her number to be called, grabbed her boba, popped a boba straw in, and sat down at a table outside. She figured this table would the best one since there weren't many people nearby to hear their conversation. As she sat down she took a sip of her boba and smiled. It was some of the best strawberry boba she had had in awhile. This place definitely didn't disappoint.
"So Ria wanna have a seat? And you can call me Saskia. I'm excited to learn all the pertinent information. Since I want to make sure I play this game right. Wouldn't want to lose an arm after all." she said with a slight laugh. Even though part of her was serious she needed that arm with her career. Since it would be hard to play a few of her multiplayer games on her streaming with just one arm.

Illyria had dutifully paid for the boba tea as she had promised but she had also picked up a treat for her own indulgence. She watched as her newest charge seemed to zip around the place to grab her items before heading outside. Lowering her gaze to the floor for a moment Illyria took in a deep breath before exhaling slowly. Just right then it'd hit her what a large responsibility it was that she had just taken on. But this encounter with Fragaria was ending on a much more positive note than it had been with Mabella. Still, and she gave another look to the floor, was she the right person to have this upcoming conversation with?
There was a motion out of the corner of her eyes that had Illyria coming to the realization that having these doubts in the middle of a room full of strangers was not the best place so she merely pocketed her chosen food purchase into her bag before noticing that her new charge had already found a table outside. Joining the child at the table that she had picked out Illyria sank gracefully into the chair that was available and made the mental note of if there was enough distance between their table and the next occupied one. It was in the process of sitting that she learned of her new charge's civilian identity and the disguised Mauvian smiled warmly at the revelation. "It's nice to be off one's feet, even if it's for a little while," Illyria paused before she lowered her voice. "I think the most important point to go over first, as you can probably guess, is that this entire new aspect of your life is going to have to be a secret. It's why I sort of feel like I had to apologize for what I'd done. Saskia, keeping your new identity safe from others is the best protection you can have against someone else finding out and using that information against you."
Illyria paused. That was the most salient fact to impart on the young girl. It wouldn't do well for someone to find out Saskia's powered identity and use it to target her. She pushed back a lock of hair that fell into her eyes before continuing.
"I think the next most important fact is that we need to discuss is the fact that we need to perhaps find times when we can meet up so I can help you figure out this new development. I can help train you if you'd like, or I can reach out and see if there are others that could offer their expertise. I don't like to think of you out there on your own, trying to get by."
Illyria brought out her own purchased food item and gently pulled apart the treat before sampling a piece and humming in the simple pleasure as the flavor burst on her tongue.
"I do know a few individuals who have been doing this sort of work for a long period of time so I could maybe introduce you if you like, or we can keep this just between us at the moment. The choice is entirely yours."

Saskia nodded as she listened to her new acquaintance speak. "Yes it definitely is nice to have a seat in a chair different from my gaming chair," she said with a slight smile. That chair had become a big part of her life, now that she was sitting outside in the fresh air. Well she realized it was nice to have a different view for a change.
As she listened to the Mauvian speak, she was starting to understand that this was a game with some rules she hadn't thought of. The idea of someone coming for those she loved. Well she refused to let that happen. She was too good a gamer to ever let that happen. She would rather have an end game than them ever hurt those closest to her.
"Understood, my identity will be well guarded," she said in response and she was already beginning to think of game plans for the worst case scenario. Since things don't always play out the way you want them to.
At the offer of help she let out a sigh of relief. "That would be amazing! Any help would be perfect. Since I want to learn and perfect my skills. Whatever skills I may have," she said as she began once again to drink her delicious strawberry boba.
She was normally a lone player, but she would never say no to more help. Especially in a game she didn't understand all the way yet. She knew that if you didn't know what you were playing well you were already at a great disadvantage.

Illyria gave Saskia the approving nod that a proud parent would have given to a child before she sobered a little. The view that Saskia had taken, about improving skills and viewing this change in her life akin to one that was living in a real world video game was just a little concerning. Her gaze took on a faraway look before she brought herself back to the present. Reaching across the table she gently made to grasp Saskia's smaller hands within her own before she pulled back. Her new charge may not be that touchy-feely and she would have to respect any limits.
"I know you think of this as a new game to master, but trust me when I say this: looking at things that way may not be for the best. This is a serious thing Saskia. People who die don't respawn, ever. And those that are your enemies - well they may look like your everyday average person ... until its too late."
Illyria sighed softly, "I've seen the enemy murder so I know it happens. I just want you to be safe."

Saskia watched her hand get touched and it was surprising for her. Since the only hand holding she had done lately was holding her computer mouse or video game controller. But she appreciated the caring gesture. She knew that it was probably hard for her to send basically children soldiers out.
The truth was for her she didn't see it that way. She has always seen the world differently. That's one reason her parents allowed her to be a child gamer. She has always been able to think outside the box and come up with creative solutions. She was also incredibly resilient and was able to bounce back from difficult situations. Her parents have seen these qualities in her and have supported her on her journey.
Plus the first time she fired a video game gun, she didn't fear it - she saw it for what it was: a tool. She saw it as an opportunity for strategic thinking and problem-solving. To Saskia, a video game gun was not a symbol of violence, but rather a tool that allowed her to exercise her cognitive abilities and engage in a world of challenging puzzles and complex scenarios.
That was how she viewed her new role. She didn't fear it, and she thought some people had probably gotten their game ended. But that was life. You can't live in fear of what might happen. You just have to make sure it doesn't happen at all costs. She valued her life, and she never planned to just let someone take it from her - not without a fight.
"I appreciate you helping me see the reality in the matter. But I promise you I have no intention of dying right now. I will fight and will remember to be weary of those around me," she said with a smile as she finished up her delicious strawberry boba. "Oh and I'll try and be as safe as I can be!" she said remembering she left that part out.
To ensure her safety, Saskia planned to stay vigilant and constantly assess her surroundings. She would rely on her strategic thinking skills to anticipate potential threats and come up with a plan of action. Additionally, she would make use of any available resources, such as technology and work on building her network of supporters, to stay informed and connected.

Illyria sighed. There had been ground made in at least imparting some of the basic cautionary rules about being a senshi and yet it still seemed like her newest charge didn't quite understand how serious of a matter being a senshi was. Oh, it was nice to have been able to actually have a chance to talk with the girl but in the back of her mind, she was frowning. Saskia was saying that she didn't have any intention of dying right now ... but how long could that go on if the child kept looking at this new chapter in her life as a sort of video game?
Battling the forces of evil in real life was a lot different than in a video game. Battles in real life could throw the oddest of curve balls at any given moment and Illyria just hoped that her newest charge would be able to defend herself against such things. Maybe she would be able to persevere ... Illyria fervently hoped so ... but time would tell.
For now she would keep an eye out on Saskia, or rather Fragaria, whenever they crossed paths.
"If you ever need someone to simply keep you company Saskia, just know that I'm a phone call away. The phone I gave you, if you take my picture will automatically store contact information that you can use to reach me. I won't abandon you to face things alone ..."
