Ash really didn’t like being social, at least not with the humans of this planet, they were much too young and far too noisy. They said a lot but there almost everything they said was useless, there wasn’t much to be gleaned from listening to them, but he still listened to the humans when he was out and around them. As night fell the fox like male stretched and sat up from his bed slowly, he’d been taking a rest, and looking around he got up and padded towards the kitchen. Ida’s home was nice, though small now due to so many living in the place.
On his way towards the kitchen he took the time to peek around, to see where anyone else might be. Was every one out or were some of the others home? It was odd living with other ancients now, others like himself, though he really didn’t socialize with them. It was hard to ignore them though, they were old as he was and had seen and been through much. Perhaps if one of them was around he’d take them out with him for a patrol?

Cameron was up sewing in the small corner of the apartment that was his. Working on something for another senshi whom he’d met, this time it was another sash and the recipient would be Urania. Hearing someone shuffling around, he perked up and looked towards the source of the sound. Setting his project down, he stood and patted himself off to get the loose bits of thread off of his short-alls.
Peeking out of his room he smiled at the sight of Ash. “Oh, hello, are you going out Ash?” There was always some sort of excitement when they went out and it helped that they were good at fighting so he could just play back up if needed.
It was honestly preferred after the less-than-easy time he’d had on Fang against that rotten monster of chaos. Even though the princess had healed him, he was still sore where the little ones had swarmed and bit him.

Turning towards the voice Ash nodded his head once in answer. “Yes, I was thinking of a patrol.” It hadn’t been all that long since helping out in space, the third time he’d been up in space to help one of his own, he wasn’t too surprised to see Procyon home. The other didn’t seem to go out as much as he did or maybe they went out and returned while Ash was still out.
“Were you looking to go out?” The blond questioned with a raised brow aimed at the other, head tilting and ears tilting atop his head.

Nodding a bit, he dismissed his human glamour and stepped out of the doorway to his room. “I’ll tag along, I want to try exploring a newer area if that’s okay? I didn’t really wanna do that alone since I’m still sore.”
Stretching a bit, he made sure his prosthetic was seated properly. He’d been lucky so far, Daedalus had made a few adjustments here and there so each time it seemed like it was holding up better. That or he was getting the hang of things finally.
“Looks like we’ve helped two planets start to heal so far, I hope when it comes time for us to ask for help there will be as large of a turn out. Especially that pleasant princess that helped after the smaller ones got to me.” He hadn’t like those things at all, such vile and rotten things.
“I think I’m ready if you are, we can power up once we are a bit away. I don’t want to cause trouble for Ida and Illyria.”

“I’ve been working on discovering every bit of this city which I can.” So he could mentally map it out, once he’d traversed it all enough times he’d learn the area like the back of his hand, he wanted to know every nook and cranny in this city so he wouldn’t run into dead ends or anything. He also wanted to better hunt chaos but to do so he needed to know the layout of the city, what was where and which areas were best for finding chaos. “
“I’ve helped three so far myself, with more on the way I’m sure.” More ancients were here, in this city, living and working towards the same goal it seemed. It seemed like they were making progress quickly with their planets, far quicker than one might assume considering the states of their homes, he wondered if they were progressing faster than the young little baby senshi of Earth.
“I think we’ll have plenty of turn out, which is a surprise, I do wonder if any ancients will aid me aside from yourself and Alastor.” He was certain Roka would not turn up, though he’d seen them on another planet hadn’t he? He didn’t think he’d see the other on his own planet unless it was in the hopes of finding the library and trying to gain entry - something they’d once failed to do once upon a time ago. It was amusing how the other had seemed so displeased with that even now; how amusing and easy to rile the other up.
“I think it'll be more of these young children that’ll wind up helping me.” Those who didn’t know his planet, his past, and who didn’t have a distrust for him and his people. Some of these young senshi might have memories of his planet though….they might not come either - oh well.
“Mmm, yes let’s head out and we can power up once we’re far enough away.I don’t care to have chaos turning up where I sleep.” It might not be his home but it was as good as. It was where he lived right now and where he slept. And he would not have chaos turning up here just as his people wouldn’t let guests follow them home - ever. He was protective over where he dwelled. Heading for the front door he glanced over at the other, nodding once. “Which princess? There were a few and I did lose track of you.”

“I’ve figured out a bit, but mostly while wandering around as a civilian. There are so many interesting things here that they do all day, the normal people. I also… think I like that they seek to help people who aren’t whole anymore.” Wiggling the fingers on his prosthetic, he smiled and followed the other as they both left the apartment, his large and colorful jacket had a nice hood to it to keep his ears hidden so he didn’t have to use that glamour as much while out and about. Since it was nighttime there wouldn’t be as many people out as well to see the pair.
“Of course, if I hear anything I’ll let you know and I’ll come help with your world if I can. I just need to be careful with mine… Everyone involved needs to know how to swim but I need to figure out some things first to even get to that point.” The water was still toxic, still full of rotten things and poisonous plantlife that choked the water of all it’s oxygen. The human senshi, Pleione, had explained that to him.
“You mean the humans? Like Miss Ida and Pleione? I don’t think you’ve met him yet, he doesn’t really want to be involved…” Pouting a bit, he quite liked the human but couldn’t wrap his head around the idea of having the ability to help but not helping. “He does want to see space though and said he might be able to help with some things on my world but I can’t bring him yet. I’m not quite ready to go back, I need to plan a bit more.”
Waiting until they were a few blocks away, Procyon thought about the princess before powering up. Facing his friend, he smiled widely. “She was wonderful and her name is Lysithea, I hope she’s doing well after everything. She seemed jarred by some of that magic the creature used.”

As it seemed humans had ears they wore on headbands, for decorations or something, Ash didn’t bother hiding his ears or his tail. Humans he heard wore tails also, or rather he’d heard a very small group did, so he let people think what they wanted in order to walk around feeling like himself and seeing himself in a mirrors surface rather than some human looking him. He didn’t like looking like what, and who, he wasn’t if he could help it. He didn’t like looking like a human when he wasn’t one and never would be one. He could live here the rest of his life, however long that may be, and he’d still never be one of them - he would always be an alien.
He would thus continue to look as he should.
“Yes, the humans.” He answered, nodding his head once to the others' questions. “You haven’t returned back yet…” He was somewhat surprised, he might have waited himself but he couldn’t keep away. It was still home…even if it had been devastated by his own people's folly. He seriously didn’t think some of his fellow ancients would help him, why would they? His planet had never helped others in times of need, preferring to keep neutral in all things, plus the whispers about his people….that had caused tensions of course. No one could prove anything though. But he figured some would take it out on him, and his planet, when the help was needed to save his world.
He was fine with this - he accepted it.
“That magic was…a throwback.” To when he had been hungry on his planet, so hungry, it was a feeling he hadn’t felt since coming to Earth.
“How did you handle the magic?” He questioned, curious and needing to know, to learn more about the other without saying as much. Walking along at the others side as they headed away from the apartment, a safe enough distance so they could power up.

Procyon’s smile fell just for a moment, at the feeling that his hesitancy to return might be taken poorly. “I… well, wasn’t whole when I got here and I’m still figuring things out but my planet is toxic. I don’t think I can go without someone else tagging along in case I get ill.” Providing what he felt was a good reason for being wishy washy, he crossed his arms and thought about the magic.
“It was… unpleasant but the things themselves bothered me more. Life and death are solid structures, things caught in between shouldn’t exist like that. The loneliness though… I didn’t like that but I think it bothered the princess more than it did me. I got caught between two sides on my world and I lost a part of myself because of it. I was the only one left after awhile but things are hazy, someone had to have taken care of me while I was asleep but the first time I woke up was long after the signs of the other people were gone.” Shaking his head, he knew he wanted to look into it more but there was a lot to figure out still.
Powered up, he swiveled his head as he felt something. “Oh… that gross feeling. Chaos.” Looking back at Selinur he was pretty glad they were here. “Would you want to go take a look and maybe stop them?” They like to fight, to handle chaos, and he was alright with it as long as they understood and knew he wasn’t one to fight much or well.

Becoming ill on one's planet, because of one's planet, he understood and he nodded his head. He’d risked it himself in order to return to his planet and would continue to. “I can only assume, and perhaps suggest, that you won’t become ill visiting your planet. It kept you safe for long enough I doubt it will fail now. You are likely immune to whatever is there…whether it’s because your planet and magic will it so, to keep you safe, or you’ve built an immunity I do not know. But from personal experience in a similar situation I don’t think it’ll harm you.” But someone else might wind up sick, or worse, and that was his own worry as well.
“Yes, that thing and its babies did seem stuck between life and death and not as a spirit but as a reanimated dead creature. I do hope it didn’t suffer and feel any of what had become of it. Though if it did I wonder if it even cared or knew to feel such - to be as such was wrong.” A question of how much was it aware of, right from wrong and the very nature of what natural order was as far as life and death and that something looking as it had should not be alive - that it was against nature. Had it wanted death - that was the question. Did it know it should be dead and yet could not die?
Powering up the blond looked down to the other, wrinkling his nose, he let his ears swivel atop his head and bared his teeth for but a moment. “Yes, let's go find that bit of chaos and deal with it.” It might be on par with himself, as far as power went, but he also didn’t care. He’d deal with it the best he could. It did not belong here or anywhere.
“I can see why loneliness would bother you - it would bother most in our shoes. We are a bit..unique in that way. I think those like us have experienced more loneliness than others.” It was another thing which separated him from the children on this planet and kept him from even considering relations with them of any sort.
Valeria stopped for a moment where she stood, gathering energy from a group of homeless hunkered down to sleep for the night. She was not expecting two signatures to suddenly pop into existence but it didn’t keep her from her duties either. This wasn’t her usual area but cities as big as this one were full of homeless people. This little group were sleeping on the steps of a church, you’d think a church would let the homeless in and keep them warm for the night, and stepping away from them as she finished the corrupt looked around expecting to see the owners of the signatures soon enough. She felt them and they seemed to be getting closer.
“Basic and super…” She whispered to herself, hoping she could handle this without needing help, though if she did she knew who to call.

He hadn’t thought about that, not really after seeing all it had done to the others of his planet. But if they knew more about this, just as they seemed to know a lot more about other things in general, then it might be worth it to take a look maybe.
“Then maybe soon, I’ll take a look after I get a bit more experience with things here.” Also after he healed up a bit more.
“We can’t really know though can we?” Shaking his head, he then turned to look where they were looking towards that chaos aura. “Let’s go send them off and keep them away from the people here.”
Following behind them, he kept feeling for anything else out there. “I think humans know it too, even if it’s different. I know the princess didn’t handle it well either and I haven’t heard from the other human senshi I pulled into that whole thing to find out how they’re doing.”
It was something he needed to do still but hadn’t gotten the chance to while figuring things out. Especially now as he saw the edges of long pink hair as they drew closer. “I think that’s them.”

“Yes, it would be good to test the theory. I’m certain if anything happens to you they’ll help here on this planet, the technology, and magic, I’m sure would find a way to handle whatever may happen if things are not as safe for you as I presume they will be.
“Yes, I’m sure many humans know the feeling but not in the same way. Age has provided us a blessing and a curse. Time to learn, to grow and mature, to become more of ourselves…more true in our nature.” For their personalities to have time to grow more fully and develop, where as humans with a short life span didn’t get as much time to grow into their personality traits. It was like a taste, a sampling, of things but not as developed and pure. It might not make sense to some but others might understand what he was thinking - what he meant.
“But with our long lives we’ve been alone for a longer time. To be surrounded by nothing and no one. No life, no one to speak with, for a thousand years or so. The marks it leaves are far deeper than what they have felt here. The suffering is different. Here they may feel alone but are not alone in the way we were.” Where they were literally alone. Nothing was left alive. Worse yet was to witness it all happening and not being able to stop or even slow its progression. It certainly left marks on them which these children would not know.
Stopping, he nodded his head slowly. “It is.” That was them and all that hair…how in the way and useless.
Both were on the small, and petite, side with one being very small and petite. This shouldn’t be that hard at all, though she also knew looks could be deceiving. She had learned from work that people who looked harmless could, at times, throw a hell of a punch or absolutely lose control and cause a huge disturbance. She didn’t think that would be the issue here.
“Have you both come to fight me? I’m flattered if you are…two against one.” She spoke with more confidence than she had, and she did have a good amount of confidence at this point, but she was hoping to intimidate the two if she could. Stepping closer to them, slowly, her heels clicking on the ground.
“This is a fight you two really don’t want…” And she didn’t hold back or wait before she threw out her first attack, starting things off easily enough. “Mind pause.”

It sounded true but he still liked the humans, they had a lot of interesting things going on here that he’d never seen before. “I have a few so far willing to help, one ancient like us, the one who made my arm, and another that’s human who I still need to check on. They seem to know a lot about science which isn’t something that really… happened on my world.”His situation had been different from Selinur’s it seemed like, he’d been lucky enough not to be awake for most of the time. Small bits of consciousness between a quiet and uneventful rest on his planet. It had been lonely when he had been awake, but he’d also been able to just keep moving forward just as he’d helped others move on after terrible events. Waving his hands in front of himself, he didn’t exactly want to throw punches but he already didn’t like this woman. The confidence that they could fight them both felt inflated and he didn’t like it, even if he knew he wasn’t as strong as his fellow senshi. “There will be no fight, not for you.” Stepping forward he crossed his fingers mentally. “Procyon Path.” Hopefully, this would work, even if he felt a bit bad after what it had done to the other chaos person during winter. It wouldn’t physically hurt them but hopefully, it would get them disoriented enough for Selinur to move in and get her subdued. Quote: Sailor Scout Attack: Procyon’s Path
Procyon says the name of his attack and takes a step forward, anyone in a 10 foot circle around him no longer see him but instead see a place of transition. Whether it be a hallway they think they recognize or a train station devoid of people, it will be an area that feels wrong but without obvious reason why. They can see and interact with the area but it is all an illusion. For as long as they are within the illusion, they will feel disoriented and lost, like they have no foundation and no direction. They may feel anxiety or stress, or an uneasy pressure as they navigate the sensation that everything they had is gone and there is no concrete path towards the future. When the magic fades they may still have a sense of unease with them or a feeling of being watched. Magic lasts 30 seconds and has a radius of effect of 10ft from Procyon. This can be used 3 times per battle.

Selinur however did not manage to escape the corrupt senshi’s magic, not knowing what to expect from them, and rather than follow up Procyhon’s magic with an attack of his own he sort of just…stood there. He didn’t blink and his ears, ever moving, just were there atop his head as if they were a decoration. He was utterly unmoving while he seemed to be staring far further than anything he could see - zoning out it was called. He was zoning out as he stood there unable to think enough to do anything.
The conversation they’d been having had taken hold of him and had him lost in thought. Thinking about the past and his homeworld, and what the others might hold for secrets, he was so busy thinking these things that he didn’t notice what was going on around him.
Watching as her magic hit the blond, the taller of the two, she wasn’t surprised when they went still as could be. Some people reacted strongly to her magic while others took to just looking about in wonder. It was a bit of a mix bag, though the one thing she was certain of was their lack of action against her, she however could not hit two people at the same time - or even more people. So that meant the smaller one was free to attack her - and they did.
She was expecting the magical attack, they didn’t seem like they could fight, but she was not sure what sort of magic they had. Their appearance was hard to figure anything for, especially since they were also not human, so when everything around her changed and she found herself in a train station made of brick and old fashioned the woman stood there turning this way and that. No one was here but there was a train waiting on the tracks. No sound and no movement it was eerie and creepy in a way that was unnatural. It was off putting and felt wrong.

Noticing that Selinur looked out of it, he grabbed their shoulder carefully and shook them. “Selinur? Are you okay?” Trying to snap them out of whatever was going on, he felt tired from using his magic. It always seemed to drain him more now than it ever had before. Another shake and then he turned back to the corrupt senshi and watched as they too stood there and hadn’t really moved. Part of him wondered what they saw because everyone saw and felt different things in there.
Holding his fists up just in case they snapped out of it, he stood between the fox senshi and the corrupt to try and defend them a bit if he could. There was some time that they’d be stuck there but at least they didn’t look to be swinging at things like the other chaos agent had before so maybe it would be fine.

The shaking was what seemed to snap the blond out of it, for blue eyes to blink, and his ears to move as he turned his attention to the small senshi at his side before he turned back towards the long haired female. "I'm fine...her magic though. It's interesting. It's like being unable to focus or think. Getting lost in your own head." It made the idea of fighting, doing anything really, impossible and it had left him open for her to attack had he been alone. Even if one hit, or shake, would bring him out of her magical hold it still left him open for her to kill were she able to do so. The idea was unsettling and he would be keeping an eye out for her for certain, and making sure the few he knew would do so as well. This was a bit of information he wouldn't mind handing out to others, they needed every senshi they could in order to win this war, and this ones magic could get someone killed in a fight.
"I'm good now." He spoke almost as an afterthought, watching the corrupt senshi twisting and turning and looking around. "What exactly does your magic do?" He questioned, moving closer for whenever the magic wore off, so he could finish things if he needed to. He was ready and able now that her magic had lost it's hold on him.
She was moving, nearly tripping over her own heels and hair, but Valeria was busy in her own little world. She was watching everything going on around her - there was no one there and she didn't like it. It was so wrong but why was no one here? Why was she the only person here and how had she come to be here? Walking towards the train, a hand reaching out to touch, she noted a door open and stepped on board to see if anyone was onboard. That step up though, which would have brought her onto the train, brought her crashing to the ground as she lost her footing.
When the magic did end it left her on the ground in the street staring across the street and away from two senshi - not good. It took her time to reorient herself, to focus back on them as she picked herself up off the ground, her pink eyes blinking a few times while she shook her head. That was not good, she didn't like the idea of being so distracted, she could handle that tiny one now that she knew his magic. But the other as well, stepping forward as they were,
She could handle one of them...not both. She had realized that and while she could call for help - she didn't. Instead she settled for teleporting out - she needed more strength before she faced them again.
