Welcome to Gaia! ::

More and more senshi, both order and corrupt and it was vexing Stichtite as he patrolled and gathered energy. The few corrupts he had met were… decent and he hated it. It made it harder to justify his position on things, especially after Valeria and Miyamoto. Both of which had similar habits or viewpoints to his own. One was a pharmacist the other one who took pride in sanitation and cleanliness. On the other side of things, most if not all of the order senshi he had met were rude, reckless, and above all rather shortsighted. Two sides to the same coin and he was now considering a different opinion which felt… wrong to him after all this time and his family history.

He could feel some order signatures around and kept his comm unit at the ready just in case. He could call for backup if needed from a handful of corrupts or Benitoite and Chalcanthite when it really boiled down to things. Draining as he passed through the crowd, he kept the high collar of his coat up and focused as he went. It was easy for him even if he had to touch people, a doctor’s hand was a gentle one so nobody really noticed as he made his way through the busy crowd outside one of the city’s bus stations. It would take a bit more time than normal to get enough with how often he was changing targets but he kept his focus and the little orb of energy grew with each passing minute.

Out of the corner of his eye, Stichtite saw someone wandering away from the crowd. After clearing the main body of people, he saw them dust a youma and put two and two together. A senshi, and one form order. Matching the signature he’d felt that was about the same level as he was. Closing the gap he cleared his throat to let them know he was there.

“So you just dust and run it seems.” He really had no particular feelings one way or another about the youma, still undecided for now as he focused on his quota each night out.

So a senshi and a bother. Shrugging he moved forward towards them with his keys around his fist. This would be easier given they didn’t look like the type to fight. This felt right, felt better because it was easy. No similarities or alliances with this one to complicate things. A witch presented as an easy target for him, plain and simple.

“I think not.” Closing the distance he swung at them, aiming for the side of their head to try and disorient them if he could. Whatever he needed to do to keep them from using whatever magic they had. He just had to keep the pressure on and pay attention to his surroundings, making sure no other order members were drawing closer.

Keeping on the pressure as the senshi stumbled back, the hit that came for him was dazed and unfocused causing it to just miss as he stepped to the side. It was maybe a bit too easy but maybe that’s because this was a weaker one. Swinging again but with his other arm, he aimed for their gut. Just a bit more playing with them before he’d go for their starseed. Just a little bit of practice for himself as well.

He could tell they probably had a concussion from the hit, it had been a solid one and that added boost from being an officer seemed to make it all that much worse for the senshi. Just the smallest bit of a smile curled on the corner of his mouth, this was something that felt right when it came to all this magic and witchcraft.

That was bothersome. The fact they’d stumbled out of the way and fallen. It was pathetic in its own way and he was starting to move in closer when the area around him filled with fog. He knew the vague area they were in but he couldn’t see the senshi anymore. They’d gotten up, he’d seen that, but otherwise, he had no clue if they were still in front of him.

Stepping back just as a precaution, he kept focused on the area around him just in case they decided to try swinging at him again or if they called for backup and more senshi would be arriving. He’d heard they were like vermin and roamed together in little groups. That in itself was a bother for him, it was why he always made sure he had a clear line of communication with his cousin as well as the three corrupt senshi he’d worked with so far.

By the time the fog cleared, the senshi was gone and he caught himself cursing under his breath as he pulled a hand through his hair. It wasn't ideal but he hadn't been injured so there was at least a silver lining. Taking the time to power down after making sure nobody was around, he decided to head towards home because this had put him off his patrol for tonight. Maybe a nice night of looking over notes for Alexandre and watching over the small starter plants his cousin had decided to shove at him would get his mind off it. He was better than this, failing wasn't something he did often and it put a sour taste in his mouth.
