Nectaris had picked out what she thought was a nice, official looking place to hold these interviews. They were near the courthouse district, so that meant the roman-looking statue in the middle of the flowerbeds here was probably supposed to be Lady Justice or something. She was in one of the parks towards the center of town, which meant that she might have to be careful in case any unexpected company showed up. Hopefully that'd make it easy for anyone on Order side to find her, though.

She flipped through the discount Valentine's journal she'd been using for these meetings, writing a new name at the top of the page. Tempesti. She remembered her from the meeting.

She'd been talking about lines of communication and stuff. Like, sharing knowledge. Luckily, that was the kind of stuff that Nectaris was really into, too.

She waved as she saw the girl arrive at the little garden. "Hi!" she said. "I'm over here!"

Tempesti was more than a little bit eager to contribute to Order’s forces and their new efforts at organization, so she jumped at Nectaris’ invitation for an interview. She only hoped that she had anything of value to offer the knight, given the recency of her awakening. If nothing else, it couldn’t hurt to offer whatever assistance she could in her information gathering efforts.

It didn’t seem likely that the two of them would draw much attention from the average person on the street. The proximity of the courthouse might mean a higher police presence, but they could easily pass as two somewhat eccentrically dressed civilians (though as far as Tempesti was concerned, Nectaris’ butterfly cape was more than a little bit enviable).

As the young (though apparently old by the standards of newly awakened senshi) senshi approached, she returned the knight’s wave and trotted over excitedly. With a shy but warm smile she greeted her, quickly taking a seat, “Hello Nectaris, thanks for starting this up.”

Butterflies are some of her favorite things in the world so she's kind of squeeing over that cape

Tempesti seemed a little nervous, but Nectaris smiled bright enough for both of them.

"Of course. I mean, here. I'll tell you a secret." She leaned in, like they were really gossiping now. "This is fun for me! This way, I get to meet everyone. Maybe make new friends if I'm lucky, y'know? I mean, you seem pretty cool."

The senshi was probably pretty close to her age, if she had to guess. Although, she was really tight with some of the older knights, too, so she guessed that idn't really matter.

"Oh, and you can call me Nikki if you don't wanna be all formal." With one last little nod, she straightened and turned back to her journal.

"Okay! Interview. Let's see." She puffed out her cheeks, lifting her fuzzy heart pen to the page. "Basics first. So, you're Tempesti. I know that. Basic senshi." She tilted her head. "What are you the senshi of?"

Nikki is quite proud of her cape :D

Tempesti was relieved to hear that what she had to offer might be of use. It was difficult enough feeling as though her magic rendered her next to useless much of the time, knowing that she had so little experience from which to draw information simply compounded that feeling. Finding another way to help until she sorted that would provide at least some outlet for her inability to suffer inaction.

It was more than a little bit of a surprise when the knight offered up her civilian name, so she felt it was only right that she reciprocate that trust. “Nice to meet you, Nikki, I’m Rowan. When I’m not doing…this” She gestured at her fuku.

Drawing in another deep breath, Tempesti responded, “I’m the senshi of harpies.” Saying it aloud only made it feel more bizarre. “I call harpies, well, kind of ghostly looking harpies, and they bring storms with them. Wind and lightning. I don’t have the best control over them yet because I awakened later than most people do.”

It was impossible not to feel a bit self-conscious at that final admission. Fighting any of this would probably have been worse on her as a child, but at least then she wouldn’t have to figure out how to stabilize the mess that was her magic.

"Oh, Nikki's not like, my real name. It's just, like, short for Nectaris, if you don't wanna say the whole thing."

It wasn't like she was hiding her actual name, though. "I'm Livie, if you wanna know. So, like, now we're officially friends and we can go out for cupcakes."

Formal teams and training and stuff was probably a good idea, but Nectaris was pretty sure that a lot of Order's problems could be solved if people went out for cupcakes together more. Friendship and good food helped, like, a lot.

"Oooh, harpies is a great sphere!" she said, the pink pom-pom on the end of her pen bobbing as she scribbled in her notebook. "I mean it! It's like, all cool, and mystical, and just the right amount of scary."

Like, scary enough to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies without being goth. Goth was fun, but it wasn't Nikki's style.

"And the magic sounds cool, too. Would you say it's more offensive, or, like, a distraction? Oh, and do you know how long it lasts? We can always, like, time it or something."

They had space.

“Ooh, alright, sorry about that.” A twinge of embarrassment pinkened Tempesti’s cheeks slightly as she spoke. She hoped that her mistake hadn’t accidentally guilted the knight into revealing more than she wanted to, though she doubted that the idea of going out for cupcakes was some sinister trap. The senshi smiled slightly at her enthusiasm. As fond as she was becoming of her harpies, she was still more than a little bit perturbed by the unpredictability of the magic.

“They are definitely interesting company, I wish I could figure out a way to make them stick around after though.” She knew that wasn’t exactly plausible, but it was still a nice idea.

“It might be easier to get them to cooperate if we could have a conversation, but for now I think it’s intended to be offensive to people other than me but that doesn’t stop it from smacking me around a bit too.” She smiled sheepishly, “From what I’ve heard I should be able to get that under control in the, well, hopefully not too distant future. As for how long it lasts, I’ve never timed it. If I had to guess I’d say it’s less than thirty seconds but time flies when you’re zapping yourself. I’d be happy to time it with you though.” Making sure this was accurate was worth being wobbly for a bit. “I do need to stand a ways back so I don’t get you too.”

Carefully putting what was likely more than enough between herself and the knight Tempesti gave a thumbs up, “Just let me know when you’re ready to start the timer!

"I've never heard of senshi being able to like, summon something that's actually able to stick around. I think that's more of a knight thing," said Nectaris, laying her book aside for a moment as she kept a careful eye on what Tempesti was doing.

"Which- Oooh! You wanna meet Flutters?" She didn't wait for an answer. Tempesti was meeting Flutters. Nectaris held up her hand and one of her rings began to glow. A second later, the glow dimmed a bit and shaped itself into a see-through butterfly, one that was big for bug standards but still only about the size of Nikki's hand.

It perched on her finger, also watching the senshi. "She can heal, so, like, if your magic does something weird, we're ready. Let's see, I guess i need a timer?"

She pulled her regular iPhone out of subspace and pulled up the stopwatch app.

"Okay!"

Tempesti nodded, “I’ve heard the same thing, it would be fun though.” She wasn’t entirely sure how fun having harpies around full time might be, she had no idea what they even ate. The senshi couldn’t restrain a quiet squeal of delight at the sight of Flutter, bouncing on her heels in excitement, “She is so precious!” The idea of having a magical butterfly friend was among the most adorable she could imagine, the fact that she was a cute little healer was just a bonus as far as she was concerned. “Thanks!

With a few deep breaths she steadied herself, preparing to be buffeted by whatever her harpies brought and taking another step back just to be extra safe.

“Bitter blast!”

Sailor Tempesti gritted her teeth against the lightning strikes the harpies delivered, arms aloft as the wind whipped around her. As the storm subsided she sighed softly, the pain and weakness in her muscles fading. “How long was that?


Quote:
Sailor Scout Attack: Bitter Blast
Sailor Tempesti raises her arms, bringing forth a group of ethereal harpies. Their wingbeats whip up a powerful, swirling wind crackling with electricity before dispersing it around her, creating a small electrical storm that reduces visibility and causes mild muscle weakness in others within the area of effect.

Range -- A circle, 10 feet in diameter centered on Sailor Tempesti

Duration -- 25 seconds

Uses Per Battle -- 3

Nectaris looked as delighted at the harpies that were whipping up a mini tempest around her new friend as she had at the thought of going out for cupcakes. Maybe she even looked more delighted. This was magic. Yeah, a lot of things were magic, but she’d never quite gotten over it.

“25 seconds,” she said, clicking off the timer as the magic stopped. “That’s really cool, though. Like, a whole thunderstorm! That’ll make it harder for people to fight you, for sure. And it’ll probably get like, upgrades and stuff over time when you get stronger.”

Plus, harpies. That was awesome. She took a few steps forward now that the magic was done, looking over the other girl. “You’re okay, right? It doesn’t look like you’re actually hurt, so I don’t think Flutters needs to heal you.”

The phantom butterfly flew over and landed on Tempesti’s head anyway.

“So, like, are you new? I don’t think I saw you before the meeting.”

Tempesti smiled brightly at the knight, “Thanks! I am looking forward to it zapping me less though.” Nectaris’ enthusiasm was more than a little bit infectious, and the senshi could definitely use the confidence boost. She was always worried about the possibility of hurting an innocent with her magic but hearing someone else remind her that her difficulties were most likely not permanent was deeply reassuring.

She laughed softly as the butterfly landed on her head, Flutter’s presence was just another bonus. A huge, huge, adorable bonus. “She really is the cutest. I am new though, I just awakened last month and I’ve only known about all of this,” she gestured vaguely at them, “for a few months longer than that.”

"A month?" Nectaris nodded, puffing out her cheeks for a second as she went back into thoughtful mode now that the magic was over. "Yeah, that is pretty new. It does make you, like, the perfect person to ask about a certain thing, though."

It was something that had come up several times in the bigger meeting the other day.

"People are wanting to make sure new people aren't, like, feeling alone, so, like, how has it been for you? The awakening experience, I mean. Did you feel like you had any idea where to go to get information about stuff? What about friends? Did you find friends?"

She had, it seemed, found a friend in Flutter, who was in no rush to fly away.

Tempesti raised her eyebrows quizzically, surprised at the idea that her inexperience might be of benefit to anyone. “Well, to be honest I really only know Sailor Aruna, she is my friend though. I met Sacha, he’s a pretty kit-…Mauvian when he awakened me but I haven’t seen him since, there was the other one who upgraded my phone but the name slipped my mind.” She felt a wave of embarrassment at that admission.

“Truthfully I wouldn’t have known anyone if I didn’t meet Aruna a few months back. The phone has been helpful though, even if some of the information could use some updating. It’s great, and I’m glad that we have it, don’t get me wrong! It would just be nice to have a more comprehensive guide. But I think that’s part of what we’re here to address, at least I hope it is.”

Two people. Yeah, that probably wasn't enough. Nectaris nodded, kind of as a reflex as she thought.

"Well, I've got at least ten of these interviews lined up, so hopefully that'll give you some ideas of people you can try to talk to about stuff," she said, and after a moment she added, with a grin, "Also I wasn't kidding about the cupcakes."

Cupcakes fixed problems. There was a rule about it somewhere.

"I wonder if there's a way to get, like, bullet point information out to people, though. Like, especially knights, 'cause I don't think pages get phones and Mauvians and stuff."

Flyers, maybe? That seemed pretty old school, though.

The fact that Flutter remained on her head was a source of glee for Sailor Tempesti, trying to draw her focus from the conversation at hand, but Nectaris’ offer made her smile. “That sounds nice!”

The idea that knights got so little when they began felt unfair and she wondered if there was anything they could do to help them. “That seems…dangerous for you, how do they expect you to learn, well, anything? Do you think we could get the Mauvians to give you your own phones? Or at least an app to put on a regular phone?” It occurred to her that she had no idea how the process worked for knights if there were no Mauvians involved. “How do you all awaken anyway?”

"I-" Nectaris trailed off. She'd avoided bringing up her past so far with this girl, and it was kinda cool, that she was getting the cool mentor treatment instead of the purified General treatment.

But then, it wasn't like it was a secret. She shrugged.

"I don't actually know from, like, personal experience?" she said. "I used to be in the Negaverse? For, like, a long time actually. It's a whole thing." She kicked her feet, but was back to smiling before too long, not seeming overly embarrassed.

"But from what I've heard, I think it's, like, you find your weapon one day and pick it up, and bam you're a Page now!" It was very cute and fun and magical, but probably not actually that useful for actually getting information. "We have these signet rings," she pointed to hers, "Which is how we can do the phone things, see?" She tapped the surface and the little holographic scree popped up. "You can get to the database and stuff. It's a little different with Moon Knights, too, 'cause we're new, but I think they're almost always from space? Like, on your wonder? And a lot of people don't know how to go to space."
