There was the smallest sigh of relief as Hylonome powered up and felt no sense of order auras around her. That allowed her a modicum sense of security given that no one was actively waiting for her to appear. The senshi instead of beginning her nightly patrol to at least gather energy began to meander throughout a local park before stopping at a bench and sat down. Her mind was still trying to process what information she had learned a few nights prior before she shook her head. How could she even know if that senshi had been telling the truth?
Drawing up her knees to her chest and wrapping her long arms around them, Hylonome presented a picture of someone who seemed truly lost at the moment. Doubts flickered into her thought processes even as her gaze never ceased scanning the horizon for any sort of movement. There was perhaps nothing more important to do then try to figure out this little mystery on her hands before she went mad. Making quota could wait for another night. Prehnite would have to understand ... not that she'd tell him the real reason why behind her dalliance. But a well-thought out excuse could work wonders on her easy-going general.
Murmuring more to herself than anything the black and green clad senshi of edelweiss groaned in frustration before muttering softly, "I wanted answers, but now I don't know if I like what I've been told. So much for curiosity."

The small leap from the window out into the night had been freeing in a way. She could feel all sorts of new blips in her vicinity. Like stars in the sky each one felt so very different and new to her tonight. Exploring cautiously, she followed one of those blips that had the same aura feeling that the weird instrument had. Approaching with a soft meow, she thought the girl looked like the musician for a moment, all curled up and full of a look she hadn’t quite understood then. Concern for them perked up alongside the curiosity she was feeling. Hearing their words, she coughed slightly before trying to speak. “Are you alright?” It was a weird feeling, being able to speak like this. Her voice was a bit soft as she testing this whole thing out.

There was something to be said for the smallest sounds causing the largest reactions. The cat that now had announced its presence by talking to her had Hylonome jerking her body out of the position she had been residing in. Her feet hit the ground and she stood up rather quickly before looking down at the talking cat before she put a hand to her chest, feeling her heart start to slow down before the brunette recognized just what she was seeing. She hadn't seen a cat like this one before, but instinctively she knew still what it was. Lowering her hand she glanced around before resuming her seat on the bench before extending a hand to the cat before giving a small smile at the accoutrements the cat wore.
"I didn't see you down there. Hello."
At the question that was being asked of her did Hylonome pause in consideration before figuring that honesty was perhaps the best, "I'd be lying if I said I was okay, but it's more just confusion on my part. Someone I ran across told me something that I thought I wanted to have information of but it's caused more confusion then anything."
Hylonome patted the bench beside her as she watched the Mauvian. This cat was like Xyla ... but the star that she was glimpsing was not the same color. From a place buried deep in her memory - Hylonome thought there was another cat that she'd once met but she shook off the hazy image before grinning, "what is a lovely creature like yourself doing out here?"

Leaning into their hand for a moment, she purred before jumping up on the bench next to them. It creaked slightly from the weight of her pounce but she'd been used to that in the musician's house. Settling in next to them, she crossed her paws one over the other as she looked up. There were cracks in them, like a broken doll, revealing their starseed. It still gave her that feeling of wrongness, of corruption, but she knew that didn't always affect one's personality completely.
"I think I may be in a similar boat but, I hope to find a resolution by night's end." Everything was still pretty fresh, that change from the day in day out normal routine to something brand new she had to figure out. She wouldn't tell anyone about him though, he had enough going on now from what she could tell. He'd been hurting for a long time and she'd done what she could here and there. "Looking for a lovely member of the side of chaos, I look to join up as it were. Though if you want to talk about things I don't mind listening, I'm in no rush really as I am still figuring things out myself." She was comfortable for now, there was no need to rush. The house she had come from was dark as everyone slept, she might not make it back tonight but she would make it back to her musician one day and there would be a lot to talk about.

The fact that this cat was looking for a chaos member had Hylonome's next question that she had running through her mind as, "why?" but she kept the thought to herself for the moment. Instead of making snap judgements she gave the Mauvian a closer appraisal before shrugging her shoulders. It wasn't her job to question why someone would want to do something but if she could help the feline out in this fashion should she not at least make the effort.
Gently, and ever so slightly, did Hylonome stroke her hand down the cat's back before letting her eyes close to the relaxing sound of the creature's purr as it enveloped her. Cats, even normal everyday ones, certainly were magical beings. When you added in the fact that some could even talk and aid senshi in battle, they became extraordinary creatures. Giving herself one more moment of relaxation did the super senshi of edelweiss open her eyes to peer down at the lovely feline. With a rather large frame and fur of the darkest of nights Hylonome once more pondered why the cat was looking for chaos members.
"If you were looking for a member of chaos well it might be your lucky night. I'm Hylonome, the Corrupt Super Senshi of Edelweiss. Who do I have the pleasure of meeting?"
Hylonome sighed. The idea of asking the large question that sat unanswered was too strong for her to resist and so she simply put it out there, "Is it too wrong of me to inquire why you might be looking for chaos?"

Leaning into the senshi's hand a bit more, their fingers felt so small compared to that of the musician. Maybe it was because he played piano, or he played piano because of how he was? It was something she could finally ask him now. "Ah, I'm in luck then. It is nice to meet you Hylonome, I have been called Desiree and I think I quite like that name so I will continue to use it." Smiling a bit, she'd approached them because of that fact. That and the fact they had been alone instead of in a group, just to make sure that she could get away if needed and not be surrounded. Placing a paw on their knee as they sighed she then pulled herself up onto their lap so she could get a better look with her good eye. "Curiosity is neither right nor wrong, just potentially dangerous I guess? I don't mind the question though the information I will provide is limited." She wasn't going to give up her musician, he needed the peace he was starting to get. "There are those I have watched over that are on that side and I wish to make sure I can keep an eye on them without having a conflict of interest from being on the opposite side of things. I would be dreadfully sad if I was unable to continue making sure they were alright, they have had a very hard life." For as long as she could remember, she had seen him scarred up or injured and managing everything all alone while still taking care of her and making sure she had food to eat. The thought that she would have to stay away now that she could talk all because she was on the wrong side of things hurt her. It was so much more complicated now but she knew that this would be the best option even if he had no clue about any of it yet.

Using one hand to steady Desiree as she went to place a paw on her lap Hylonome watched as the cat cautiously moved onto her lap fully before she smiled, "it's a pleasure to meet you as well Desiree."
Desiree looked like an animal that had been in a few fights over the years but that didn't detract from her overall beauty. Somewhere in the back of her mind she wondered if she could somehow help the Mauvian achieve her goal of joining the side of the Negaverse.
There was a flash of concern for what would happen to Desiree if she desired to truly join those that had been corrupted before she gave a soft sigh even as she ruminated on the words that Desiree spoke to her about her reasons. Well, that seemed like a logical reason to want to switch sides and Hylonome could not fault her no matter how hard she tried. Even as she shifted her arms around the Mauvian, giving a gentle, but loose, embrace did Hylonome whisper into the feline's ears, "if you truly wish to join our side, I can bring you into the fold by at least acting as a method to get you into the Negaverse more quickly. All I'd have to do is concentrate and we'd be surrounded by people who could easily bring you onto the side of chaos, and Metallia."
Loosening her posture Hylonome moved her hands back to a gentle steadying presence on Desiree's frame so that she was balanced before she waited for the Mauvian to make a decision.

Ears perked up as Hylonome hugged her, normally that was something she'd only allow from her musician but she didn't mind it as much from this senshi either. Placing a paw on their face she trilled a bit happily. She'd noticed a bit of hesitance from them but her mind was made up. "That would be much appreciated, I would still like to try helping with your worries as well after though. I may be new to things but I am always available to listen plus I believe it would be easier to keep in touch once I joined chaos." The last word rolled out with another bit of a purr. It still felt a bit odd, like a bad taste stuck to her tongue but the benefits would far outweigh the risk she was taking. At least when it came to her home, where she could eat whatever they cooked now that they were well enough to cook more often. Maybe she'd gotten used to being spoiled after being out on the streets for so long, or maybe it was the beautifully sad music he would play that kept her coming around. Either way she wanted that to remain the same and this felt like the right path to take to do that.

The trilling sound that Desiree made had Hylonome's troubles melting away at least for the meanwhile. Who wouldn't have felt their heart strings give a little tug at the innocent noise. Like a mother cat calling out to her newborn kittens Hylonome felt that perhaps Desiree would be able to help out with the issues she seemed to be dealing with now. Instead of reacting to the words that the Mauvian spoke next Hylonome shifted a little on the bench before inhaling softly.
"If that is what you wish then I'll keep my word. I'm going to hold onto you just a little more securely now Desiree. I'm still sort of getting used to using this new skill of mine but I haven't messed up yet."
Here Hylonome quickly freed a hand to knock on the wooden slats of the bench before she gently gathered up an armful of Mauvian before staggering a bit at the additional weight. It was fine. Everything was fine.
Concentrating deeply Hylonome imagined the dark recesses of the Negaverse, and more specifically the Castle. It was here that she wanted to take Desiree. Once that destination was firmly in her mind Hylonome felt the familiar sensation of moving through time & space until the Castle in the Dark Kingdom swam into view. She fought a brief wave of vertigo before shaking off the residual effects.
"Well, a little further away than I like for the general location, but it's not bad. If you don't mind I can take you right to the office of the individual that can definitely help with your request. I could explain the situation and then find you afterwards, or I can stay with you. The choice is up to you Desiree."
Even as she waited to see what Desiree would decide did Hylonome move forward, the second floor offices of the Castle were her final destination ... and one of those who could grant Desiree's desire.

Desiree watched as they knocked on the bench, settling into their arms as they got a better hold on her. It made sense, she was pretty big for a cat, always had been but she hadn't minded. What she did mind though was the dizzy spell that she had after being transported to this new area. "Oh my, the room is spinning." Curling up a bit more for a moment, she felt like she was going to vomit. It took a bit longer for her to recover as she listened to Hylonome talk. "I don't mind, just go slowly until everything stops spinning." Shaking her head for a moment, she blinked up at the senshi a few times. "I think I would be alright with you staying around while it happens unless it is something that may be uncomfortable witnessing. I apologize if I am asking for a lot." Looking around as they progressed, she took everything in as she wondered which of these offices may belong to her musician. She'd find out at some point, once she decided her next few steps on things.

Gently taking the time requested to move more slowly for Desiree's sake did Hylonome enter the castle's interior before nodding more to herself than anything, She'd never really been in here since the big battle in which she had been told she had lost her memories. There wasn't much need to visit the Castle because there had been no reason to come into Negaspace on her own. Her gaze took in the interior if the first floor before her eyes locked on the staircase that would lead to the second floor offices. She had yet to even request an office of her own because there was no real desire to spend time in this place.
Shifting Desiree's bulk to carry her more securely Hylonome did the best job that she could do of not jostling the Mauvian with each step that she took. Her eyes took in the various doors that lined the hallway before stopping in front of one. Hearing Desiree say that she could stay for the process Hylonome paled a little bit. Was she ready to see someone be brought over to their side? There was a slight tremble that went through her frame but that could have been a result of where she was standing.
"If you would like me to be there, and if it is alright with the person who is going to bring you into the fold, then I will be here for you Desiree."
Gently Hylonome gave Desiree a bit of a reflexive hug before she raised her hand to knock on the door that she stood in front of before hearing a voice bidding her to enter. As she entered she announced her presence and the reason for doing so as the door closed behind her.
