Kemi still hated the cold. The summer,was her favorite thing about the Earth. The warm sunlight, the feeling of heat baking her bones, bringing a little color to her skin it…

It was simply the greatest. Of course, the bruises on her neck were still visible from her run in with that crazy guy, and she was tired. Truthfully…

Kemi was something close to miserable. But. She persisted. As best she could.

There was a reason she was out, braving everything., and that was because she did love this planet. And wanted to protect it…and therefore, she took her patrols seriously, and therefore, she was heading in the direction of the chaotic aura that she felt, hoping that they weren’t doing anything bad and would just…run away when she approached.

Either that or they would go toe to toe and she would do her best to just…not get killed. For one.

“Don’t you have anything better to do?” The words came out a bit more biting than she had really meant but…

It was the truth!


The summer didn't really bother Dem all that much. In fact, even though he was a surfer, the winter time was his favorite time of the year. If only because there were plenty of things he could paint and all the cute girls were in their winter booties and dresses with the scarfs and…Ahhh….Yes, winter was the best time indeed. But alas, it was summer and while seeing all the cute women in their short shorts with tube tops and bikinis was fine and dandy, he still preferred the cooler months during winter. He was actually not draining a civilian for once, but the order signature coming his way told him that he would have to prepare for an accusation…

He heard the question and sighed. Yep, that's what he was waiting for.

Turning, the agent was about to throw his thimble at the order aligned goody two shoer when he had to do a double take. Oh…Was he seeing things? Were they in cosplay? What the ******** was this person? Not that he was disappointed, the view was nice, but he wasn't into gijinka or whatever the ******** you call a humanized pokemon. He's seen the vaporeon, lopunny, and Gardevoir[?] thirst and BOY did he not want to see ANY of that again in his life.

Some things really just needed to be bleached out of existence.

“I'm not doing anything unusual, cutie. Just chilling here, enjoying the summer weather. Don't you think it's kinda hot to be cosplaying something as complicated as that?”


“Please don’t call me cutie, I don’t appreciate the sentiment…” Kemi made a face and tried to hide a shudder. The wings on her head though, as always gave her away, flattening against her head, and her tail puffed up slightly in her discomfort. She wasn’t sure why the situation made her so uncomfortable but. Ew.

“Cosplaying? I’m not sure I understand the question. Are you cosplaying?” Was that what the Negaverse called being a senshi? Being powered up?

…Odd.

But she was cute! Look at the little wings and that tail! Said tail that either moved realistically with some bad a** mechanics or…

“What are you?”

Maybe he should get ready to fight because he was pretty sure the head wings and tail were real, which meant this was an alien and a senshi? What the ******** is going on? “So you don't like compliments, got it. How…Do you NOT know what cosplaying is?” He was really growing suspicious now and he summoned his pathetic weapon. “Either you say something or I'll stop playing nice.”


“I…I am Sailor Kemi, who are you?” Truthfully, she was confused now. “I don’t really appreciate compliments from people who…I don’t know. I am a Senshi, and you’re…part of the larger Chaos group of this planet, correct?”

Her brows were narrowed and she looked at him, not quite sure if she should do something…like run, or use her magic…or just…maybe hit him. All of the options seemed to have their own benefits involved…

“I have never heard the term before, would you care to enlighten me?”

An alien senshi huh? One that wasn't fighting on sight? Dem relaxed a bit and put his weapon away, holding his hands up. “I am Demantoid, Dem for short. Yes, I'm a chaos agent.” and that comment thing made sense, he would keep them to himself then, “When you cosplay, it means you're dressing up as a character from any sort of media like cartoons, anime, movies, videogames…Things like that. With how you look, it reminds me of something called a pokemon? Have you heard of that?” He kept his distance just in case the senshi wanted to try something he wasn't going to be fond of. He had learned his lesson from that stupid panic senshi he had encountered earlier in the summer. Nope, don't make the same mistake again and be cautious.

Just because this one was cute didn't mean she couldn't be deadly.

“Oh…I…can assure you this is just…who I am…and my fuku…” Kemi glanced down and tugged lightly at her skirt, smiling slightly at how good it felt to have it back. Maybe…if she kept working, kept…trying. She would get all of her power back…

It was worth talking to Arthur about, perhaps.

“It’s just what I’ve had since I became a Senshi. Nothing special. Not…a cosplay…and I’m not. A pokemon…I think I have heard of that. Is…it true that people were attacking one another to get their hands on…pictures of the creatures? I…do not understand that but. You humans…”

She broke off, shrugging. “You’re strange sometimes.”

Well, she just confirmed that she is not from this planet, so that took care of the what is she mystery. Dem sat down with his arms behind his head, chuckling at the humans are strange comment. That was probably the most accurate sentence of the century. “That is true actually. It was during a time where humans had to be a part and they couldn't socialize with each other. So to compensate we started clinging to things like card collecting, which is where the origin of pokemon started. Often times there would be rare cards that would appear and that would cause fights. But due to the…Pandemic, manufacturing of these cards had slowed to a crawl, and demand was at an all time high. When you have a high demand and a lack of product, it creates fights. Humans are selfish by nature, so if there is a rare card, pack, stuffed animal, anything really…”

He sighed and shook his head, “There is going to be fights over it.” Not that he would know since he could buy a shitton of cards easily due to how loaded his family was….Thanks cousin Romeo~ “Anything like that happen where you're from?”

“Huh. That’s…all very interesting. Oh, um.” Kemi gave an uncomfortable smile and shrugged. “My planet has been frozen over for the last…very long time. Honestly, my memory of how things used to be…isn’t very strong, I’m afraid. But. it was kind of you to ask. I think…I should be taking my leave since you don’t…appear to be dangerous.”

Or too twisted by the Chaos that befouled him…

“I do. Offer a warning and I’m sure you’ll disregard it but…the path you’re on…Chaos isn’t. A good thing. Just. know that one day you may regret having been poisoned by it, and I hope that you will be able to seek help, if it’s possible…you don’t seem like a bad person. And it’s not your fault that they have corrupted you.”

Interesting…

Maybe one day he could ask to see her planet. It's sad that it's been frozen over but she looked like the sort to maybe have that figured out? Getting up, Dem dusted himself off, taking her warning into consideration. He’s seen what chaos has done to Villon, but honestly, he could see it in Wither and they are cousins…So maybe it's a blood thing? If that is even possible? Sure, he was on the opposite sides, but he didn't feel all that crazy really. Most of the time, hes really just been defending himself or removing scum from this world. “My corruption was because a dear friend of mine had no choice. It's entirely my fault for being nosey ha…” He shook his head and nodded. “I'll take it into consideration though. Thank you, Kemi.” With that, he turned and started walking away so he could get to a safe spot to power down.

That…was sad. Kemi gave a small wave and turned as well, making her way towards whatever else she could end up doing tonight…but she hoped…truly hoped that he would be able to free himself. Maybe one day they could end up being friends.
