Quote: The Reservoir (4) : The Destiny City Reservoir opened about two years ago and is an easy escape from the big city. It's a five minute drive outside of the Eastern side of town and features clear water and sandy beaches--although, the sand here is notorious for squeaking when you step on it. It's a hot spot for all fun summer activities, but it's been in the news for mysterious reports of some strange, aquatic monster. Some accounts say they've spotted a twenty foot long, snake like creature capable of rearing a long neck high above the water. It's hard to tell if the videos are doctored, but there are too many rumors to dismiss easily. Something strange might be lurking deep in the water. Or it's just a hoax to get people out to the Reservoir! But, sometimes, people feel like something is grabbing their ankle, even if they are just wading in the shallow end. In the deeper parts of the water, it gets a little more intense: something has been said to grab onto ankles and pull. People have been warned about dangerous pranks, but so far no one has been caught. In the shallow end, anyone unfortunate enough to be targeted may feel themselves being knocked off their feet and tugged into the water; anyone in deep water may feel a firm grip on their ankle, tugging them lower and lower. Somehow, anyone it targets is freed--either by wriggling and fighting, or because someone intervenes and pulls the would-be victim up. No one has drowned in the lake. Yet. It's impossible to see who, or what, is doing this, but it usually gives up after one failed attempt. Usually. While you may find yourself harassed by the supposed cryptid, or see something visibly odd in the distance, you cannot take any pictures of the creature. Who knows if you're even being attacked by the cryptid or just another youma?
Go out to the reservoir they said, Carmeltazite thought to herself, sulkily kicking a rock along the beach. Check out the rumors of a cryptid they said. Which, okay fine. Normally being assigned to checking out possible monster sightings would have been right up her alley. But this thing, judging by reports she'd scanned was just a big snake! There was nothing even remotely sexy about a big snake!
She might have been appeased had the stories veered more into naga territory, but nope! And sure, she'd read some really interesting porn fics involving snake like creatures, but, again! Those had all been more in line with nagas or like... were-snakes. Which were a thing in some circles. Given her own interests, she wasn't going to judge or shame. The point was, this was seemingly just a big animal. And while a giant, man eating snake hiding out in the reservoir could be cool from a horror movie perspective... it just wasn't Carmel's bag.
Kicking another rock into the water, she watched the surface ripple gently. Ugh, this was going to be so boring!

For ages she had heard of "things in the water" at the reservoir. Now that she had Special Magical Powers, Robinhood decided to check it out for herself and put the rumors to rest once and for all. She knew for a fact weird s**t went on down there all the time – hell, her own awakening as Robinhood was precipitated by giant ******** starfish and a talking space cat. So maybe there was something to this after all. Only one way to find out. Though at the moment it seemed like nothing was going on down at the reservoir. The Senshi splashed her boots in the water as it lapped on the beach, not caring if they got wet or not; they were magical boots, after all, and would be dry and unaffected by anything the next time she powered up. She'd discovered that on accident, and was pretty proud of that fact – she didn't need a magical cat to tell her everything, let alone another magical girl (though she wouldn't mind running into that Joyeuse Garde or whatever she was again, because she was HAWT). Something tickled in her mind just then, something that grated like nails on a chalkboard. Pausing her boot-splashing, Robinhood focused, trying to figure out what was going on. Was this the vibe of one of those Chaos people that Cuan Oilean had told her about? If so, it was ******** effective as a warning beacon to Senshi and others like them. Looking around, she spotted someone kicking rocks into the water not that far away. "Hey! You! Are you a Negaverse um…. Nega?" She didn't know what they were called, she just knew she was supposed to beat them up.

Mentally kicking herself for not paying better attention, the Order aura was practically on top of her before she was jolted out of her own thoughts by the shout. Turning she tilted her head and watched the senshi before making a show of looking around to make sure that she was, indeed, the one being addressed.
Maybe she wouldn't be so bored after all.
Taking a moment to summon Bonk Daddy from subspace, she held the furby close, looking for all the world like she was merely snuggling him. Then, she shook her head and sighed.
"Your grammar ain't grammaring right. Correct term would be Lieutenant. I'll letcha have that one for free."
That was only polite, right? Frankly it was embarrassing to be addressed as a 'Negaverse Nega'. She was doing a Nice Thing when she didn't have to. Shifting her furby so that she could bounce him in her cupped hands, Carmeltazite considered the senshi. Cute, neat hood and a 'fit that actually seemed logical compared to the skirts and sparkles she'd been taught to expect.
"You'd be a lot cuter with some scales or horns," she declared out of the blue. Shifting her weight slightly, she grinned, expression mildly manic now. "You're either gonna fight or lecture. I hope it's the first because lectures are ******** boring and you don't strike me as the boring type. Don't disappoint me, babes!"

Now that Robinhood got a better look at the Lieutenant (she'd been right about the Negaverse thing, yay!), she raised an eyebrow. This girly was a cute little thing! Pink hair, super cute and colorful Ren Faire top, sensible pants and boots, even the cursed Furby was cute. (What the ******** was up with the Furby?) Wow, so far all the powered people she'd met were attractive. Must have been part of the design brief from the Space Cauldron. Or Metallica. Metalia. Whatever. "Y'know, for a Chaos Lieutenant, you're pretty ********' adorable," she grinned. "I hate to have to hurt you, but it's kinda in the job description – y'know, Senshi fight Negaverse and s**t." Extending her arm, her magical energy bow appeared, glowing green in her hand. "No lecture. I ********' hate lectures." She produced an arrow out of thin air and nocked it, then took aim and loosed it. "Sorry, cutie…" Quote: Sailor Scout Attack: Dig a Hole.Robinhood holds her arm out, and an ethereal bow appears in her hand. With her other hand, she produces an ethereal arrow, which she quickly nocks, draws and looses at the target’s feet. An opening immediately appears in the ground below the target, and they drop into a black pit about twice as deep as they are tall. The oubliette is big enough that they can move around and try to get themself out of it. This attack lasts about 15 seconds, has three uses, and affects a single target within ten feet.

Eyes going wide at the sudden appearance of a magical bow and arrow, Carmeltazite squeaked and paused in her furby bouncing. Wow, no lecture as promised, but no interest in just like... not immediately jumping to violence.
She was in love. Or at least she'd consider being social media besties. But only if Little Green Sexy Hood didn't ******** kill her first.
Even as the arrow hit the ground and she could feel herself dropping, Carmeltazite took quick and careful aim, launching Bonk Daddy right for the senshi's stupid face. As she dropped, she could hear its beak clacking. If she survived this, she'd really have to look into how the hell he could do that with no batteries.
She hit the ground with her back and gasped for a few seconds. Okay. She wasn't dead. That was good. But she was looking up at the sky from the bottom of a big, magical pit. Oh yeah, this s**t was getting reported. Sitting up, she began complaining. Loudly.
"Oh sure, it's fine if she attacks me when I haven't done anything but look for a stupid big snake, but if I had done that to her, she'd be bitching about me bein' an evil ambusher. I asked for a fight, not attempted murder for ******** sake."
