The fact he was powered up was such a rare thing that perhaps one might want to see if hell had frozen over, because Ian did not care much for powering up. This whole fight, this war, it wasn’t his thing and so he did his best to avoid it. He also didn’t care to wind up injured, or dead, at the hands of some crazed lunatic with a weapon.

Every so often though he’d go out and power up and do a small walk about a part of the city, a patrol, and consider it his contribution to things. Tonight was that night and the eternal was wandering around the power plant, because last October there had been rumors drifting around about the place. He hadn’t heard of any issues since then so he figured it was safe, he hoped it was, he did not feel like glowing from radiation or being eaten by a bear…or whatever was surrounding this place.

Kicking at a stick with a booted foot he paused, his foot crunching on some leaves and snow, he could feel a senshi near by. They weren’t above a basic, he could tell that much, and while normally he didn’t go bothering with other senshi or even knights he did go to investigate this. It wasn't for any other reason than where they were - the power plant. He still didn’t like this place and it creeped him out, like some modern day chernobyl s**t.

Erinome lay beneath the brush, staring up at the lights of whatever structure stood just outside of the tree line. It buzzed and hummed with some sort of energy and that soothed him a bit as he lay there tired and hungry. None of these plants seemed familiar so he wasn’t sure if eating them would make him sick like the ones that had ruined his planet. How much time had passed here was beyond him but until now nothing had come across him other than a few small creatures.

The sound of a stick skittering across the ground made him curl up and try to hide more in the brush even if that feeling of chaos wasn’t present anymore here. Something felt familiar but it had to be a cruel joke after all this time so he tried to ignore it and stayed very still as the sounds got closer.

Stepping out from the bushes and trees Chaldene stood, standing out in stark white and glowing a soft blue, as the eternal turned and twisted as he looked around. Someone else was here but he didn’t see anyone else, if it weren’t so dark out he might see whoever else was out here, but not everyone glowed like he did. “This is whyI don’t ******** do this senshi thing.” He spoke into the cool night air. He didn’t need this sort of s**t, he had a normal civilian life and he didn’t see the point in the senshi business.

Racking his fingers through his hair he let the dark locks flop back into place as he turned to leave. He was not hanging around, this place was creepy as hell. Hadn’t there been some horror, he’d heard zombies had been involved, movie based on chernobyl? He wasn’t interested in sticking around such a creepy a** place like this. “I’m so done with tonight.”

Seeing a familiar glow, Erinome peeked out from beneath the brush and watched the senshi carefully. It had been a long time, longer than he felt was possible to remember since he’d seen someone like that. Laying there, he called out softly, voice cracking a bit from how long it had been since he’d last spoken.

It couldn’t be them, no way could it be Amel, but they felt like him and they were a senshi like him that was untainted by that chaos that had taken over his world. “Help.”

Turning as he heard the voice he searched, finally bending and looking low - at ground level. When he saw the figure under the bushes he crawled his way over towards them. “What are you doing down here?” More importantly, what were they? They felt like a senshi but didn’t look like one, not a normal one anyway. “Who are you?” He didn’t ask what they were, at least not yet, though he was curious as he pulled them out from the bushes and into his arms where he held them.

Well, they certainly didn’t look human, there was no way they were from Earth, yet hadn’t everything in space died out? “I should get you home….” How was he going to explain this? He didn’t need to right away but he would need to soon enough. For now though he could get them sorted out, a bath and food and get them resting. He’d deal with Xander later, he might need his help anyway, but for now the basics was a good place to start.

“You aren’t injured, right?” Unless they were hurt…..then Xander first.

“Tired… hungry…” Voice hoarse as he spoke, Erinome didn’t struggle as they picked him up. Tired eyes looked up at the other senshi as he tried to figure out what was going on. They weren’t him, but they felt like him, and the whole situation was a bit much for him to think through right now.

“Erinome,” he said softly while pulling his hands together on his chest. Looking back over at the structure, he hummed along with that sound he’d felt. It was still soothing even if he hadn’t found anywhere to eat or rest safely near it.

“Just tired, not hurt.” It was weird speaking again after so long, he’d been used to the silence but now he had to try getting words out as they were taking him somewhere away from the humming but it would probably be alright. That soft glow was just as nice, it reminded him of better times. Back when he would visit the neighboring planet and its senshi.

Ian was not the strongest senshi, he never would be, eternal or not he was not as strong as others were. However he was able to pick the other up, as he stood up, because the other was rather small and light in weight. “I’ll get you food and you can wash up.” Than the other could rest, because they likely needed it, that in mind he took the quickest route home which meant not walking but rather Ian risked it and powered down in an alleyway, having to lay the other down in order to do so.

Picking the other back up he was able to flag down a cab and tell them where he needed to be dropped off, and his friend was of course into cosplay and had been at a party. He just needed to get them home - they might have been drugged. The lies came easy, because they needed to be said and he didn’t care since this was a complete stranger he was lying to. The drive wasn’t that long but long enough to know that walking would take forever for Ian to manage especially with someone in his arms.

Paying for the drive as soon as they’d arrived outside of the gates the dark haired male let himself in, his arms full of tiny senshi. “Are you a chibi senshi?” He questioned while taking the walk to the small two floor home he had on the Jacob’s property. Shifting the other about in order to unlock the front door, having to fish his key out from a back pocket, he let himself in and headed right for the kitchen. “Food first then shower.” Or a bath, whichever the other wanted/
I’ll let you sleep in my bed then so I can make sure you’re ok.”

“Sit here and I’ll get you food.” He didn’t know what they ate but he figured it might be fruits and vegetables, given what they resemble, and so that was what he went for. Having sat the other down on the island counter top Ian was quick to setting food offerings down for the other. “Fruits….” And several were placed down, even taking the time to peel an orange for the small senshi. “You should also power down, we don’t need chaos finding us…” Because they could have tracked the whole damn car trip and this really wasn’t safe…but he hadn’t been thinking of that. He’d been focused on the fact this looked like an alien but felt like a senshi.

When they set him down and changed, he curled away for a moment as everything felt different. Erinome stiffened as they picked him up and summoned some sort of machine to transport them both to their home. Face pressed to the transparent glass, he watched as sparkling lights of every color moved quickly passed them.

The ride over, he let them carry him as he blinked in confusion at their question. “Just a senshi, not chibi.” Tilting his head and taking in the new environment, his eyes flitted back and forth between all the glowing lights and new things he’d never seen.

Sitting on the countertop they’d set him down on, he rested his hands in his lap and watched as they grabbed things. Poking the brightly colored fruits, the one that they had peeled seemed especially appealing to him. Picking it up, he nibbled at it cautiously for a few moments and waited to see if anything bad would happen. Some of them seemed familiar in appearance but the flavors were very different. The peeled one had a sweetness he really liked and once he felt like nothing bad would come from it, he inhaled the thing and went through some of the other offerings with much of the same steps.

Nothing seemed to make him sick and he felt less weary now that he had something in his stomach. The mention of chaos had him jolt and look around, trying to feel for anything like what he’d experienced back home. When nothing seemed to be nearby, he settled down and pulled his knees up, and rested his chin on them. “Power down? This is how I am always?” The other seemed to be able to be more than one way, which was still a bit unsettling but he wondered if that was some sort of safety thing here.

Reaching forward, he poked them in the chest softly. “Amel?” It was worth a shot, as he spoke the name sadly. After that, he remained quiet while watching the blinking lights and glowing numbers that were on some of the metal devices in this room. Everything was so foreign here but there was still a soft hum, like that structure but much weaker. It buzzed and vibrated through the walls and metal things that had those glowing lights. It reminded him of the humming sound of the magic that ran the medical stations back home before everything had happened.

Watching the other eat Ian was happy, they seemed hungry enough, and while they showed a lot of caution towards the foods being offered they soon were eating each thing like a starving person might. So he grabbed an apple for himself and offered another orange to the other. Thankfully he’d done the grocery shopping the day before so he was stocked up, as it seemed he’d need a lot of food for this little senshi. Perhaps the next time he went shopping he should take them, if he could find a way to get them powered down, he couldn’t go bringing a senshi into the grocery store.

Staring down at his chest, where the other was touching, he shook his head. “Amel? You can call me Ian…or Chaldene in private if it’s easier. But I don’t know an Amel. Erinome, can you explain to me what you are and where you’re from? You’re not from Earth, that I’m certain of, and while you are clearly a senshi I don’t know how that is. We’ve all been told there isn’t life in space and hasn’t been for a thousand years - since the fall of the silver millennium.” Another fruit, a dragon fruit, set down for the other after he’d cut it up for them.

Standing in front of the other as he offered a slice to him. “At least you were found by a senshi and not a Negaverse agent or one of their corrupted senshi. Being as weak as you are I doubt you’d survive against them.”
PostPosted: Wed May 08, 2024 9:15 pm


Taking the fruit, he peeled it like the other had and ate it quickly. It felt good to have food again but when they said that name, the name of the planet he remembered visiting so very long ago, the peel fell from his hands as he hung his head. “Nothing? Nothing left?” It couldn’t be, he thought it had just been his planet but there hadn’t been a way to find out with how cut off everything had been. And now they brought up that name, the planet that neighbored his own. “I knew Chaldene… Amel. Erinome, I was nearby and visited before…” Trailing off he pressed his hands into his face and tried to breathe, he’d survived how long? How many years floated by as he had been left sleeping in that coffin of vines while the people of his world were poisoned by those plants?

“I need to go back, I need to fix things.” Struggling, he tried to get off the counter but he was still too weak and just slumped a bit. “There has to be something left Ian, if I’m still alive.” Looking up at them, he rubbed his eyes and tried to clear his bangs from his face. It was tiring saying so many words, his throat hurt from the effort so he clammed up again and felt very very small as he pulled his knees back up.

“You can’t, most of us have been trying. Space is dead, senshi visit their home worlds and knighs visit their wonders. But nothing is alive…no animals and no people. Everyone was reborn here on Earth. Earth is it, for now anyway, and chaos is trying to take over here. Some are fighting it, even though it’s nearly won over this whole planet, but it seems to be at a standstill of sorts.” Shrugging a bit, it was in part why he didn’t bother to fight. They were at a stand still so what could he do? What if they won in this city? The Negaverse would just send in officers from elsewhere and it would all start again.

Resting his hands on the counter top, on either side of the other. “We don’t even know what happened to our homeworlds, none of us do, we just know it’s been a thousand or so years since the fall of things. So if you’ve been there, in space, this whole time it’s been a very long time and to be alive is amazing.” He could still remember the alien who had helped them get into the Negaverse’s home base, sort to speak, but did that mean all life wasn’t dead in space?

“Keep eating and then you’ll wash up and rest. There is a lot to take in and I’ll help.” He’d need to, who else could he let help the other? Plus they seemed to have known whoever he’d once been…Amel. It might help him to help them. “Maybe there are others like you….” As unlikely as it seemed there could be. He’d have to look into that somehow….it meant powering up and he didn’t like that.

It sounded so hopeless but he wanted to try, wanted to keep doing something like he’d tried to stop it in the past on his own. “No, I’m going to try, I have to.” Mustering up as much firmness as he could, he wanted to fight back and keep going even if he was so very tired.

Repeating the years they spoke, he couldn’t even fathom that much time. It felt like a haze where he’d been trapped until the vines withered away as well. Nodding, he picked up some of the odder fruits that they’d cut for him and nibbled on them. At least these were nice, something he could get used to after whatever had happened.

“Thank you for helping… A… err Ian.” He caught himself before calling them the wrong name, it felt odd though but they’d said senshi from out there were reborn here so maybe both things were right. But this wasn’t them, they were someone else but he could see bits of the person he knew in them as he stared at them.

“I hope there are, I wonder if anyone I knew is still around…” Shifting a bit, he went ahead and started picking the leaves and sticks from his hair and antennae. The fluffy things twitched slightly as he freed things from them.

“You eat, I’ll get the debris from you.” And he set to work doing just that, because the other should really focus on eating, they’d been without food or anything to drink for how long? At least the fruits provided food plus the natural juices so would help with both issues. That didn’t mean he didn’t walk off to get a bottle of water for the other…and a jar of honey just to see if the other liked that also. Vegetables also sat on a paper plate ready for the other to try, things had been cup before being represented to the small senshi.

“If it’s easier to call me Amel you can do that. I doubt anyone will care, and really a name is just that - a name.” At least as far as he was concerned. What mattered more to Ian was who a person was….not the name of the person or anything else as basic as that. “People might ask about it but you can brush it away and say it’s a nickname, people will buy it.” At least most would.

“I doubt I can stop you from trying to save your homeworld, you seem rather determined, so I won’t try. I’ll help if I can, though I’m not much of a senshi really.” Even if he was eternal..he’d reached the highest rank a senshi could reach without becoming a royal and he knew that would never happen. He was, without a doubt, unfit for that. “Keep eating, just don’t make yourself sick.” Back to picking leaves and such from the others hair and other parts.

“I’ll talk to Xander, or Lily, and see if either of them can perhaps find out what’s going on….how an ancient senshi was still alive in space and came here.” Because Lily, and perhaps her brother, had far more connections than he ever had. Though since neither of them powered up, especially Lily who was a new mother, they might not have those same connections anymore. But who knows…he’d never asked, he’d never needed to.

“Lily is sailor Maia…and her brother is a knight as is her sister. Xander adopted a teenager who just so happens to also be a senshi. They all live in the main house.” Xander had taken him in because he’d needed somewhere to go, to get away from an abusive father. His mother had gotten away as well and his father was all on his own, as he deserved to be.

Erinome’s eyes sparkled at the jar of golden syrup, it looked amazing and he opened it and sniffed it carefully. Dipping bits of fruit into it, he made a happy sound as he ate. Everything was so sweet and tasted so good. The jar was now his favourite thing and he refused to put it down even as he juggled things to drink water. It helped with his throat and he coughed a bit to clear some more of the dryness. After managing his way through the rest of the fruit, he picked at the other greens. They were good too but not as sweet so he ate them slower, making a face at the poor combination they had with the syrup.

“It was beautiful there, Amel would visit me or I would go to Chaldene and visit him…” Shaking his head, he tried to focus on the truth of the matter. “Ian is your name, not Amel.” It was a bit sad but they still had helped him and that was more than he’d expected from a stranger in a strange world. Listening to the names they listed off, none of them sounded familiar and everything sounded very complicated.

“Full…” Closing the lid on the glass jar, he still didn’t let go of it and just tucked it away where he hid other things. After all this time he wondered if the herbs he had were just dust now, it would be something to look at later but now he wanted to sleep. Yawning, he leaned forward and lay on the counter, pressing his face against the cool surface. “Sleepy…”

Watching the others reaction to the honey Ian had to laugh, it had been a split second choice to grab the honey for the other, but it seemed he’d done a very good job in offering it. Though he couldn’t help but pull a face at the idea of honey and any vegetables. He’d have to work something out with the other for the greens…something to make them taste better that was not honey.

Watching the other he shook his head. “No sleeping on the counter and a warm bath first…or a shower.” Because a shower would be quicker and the other could get to bed all that much sooner. Reaching out he slipped the other off the counter and carried him off, this carrying people around thing was really not Ian’s thing, the other wasn’t heavy per say but it was more than Ian normally dealt with. This was a lot for him.

“I’ll fill you in on more once you’ve rested.” And in the meantime he’d talk to Lily and Xander and see if either could help him.
