Welcome to Gaia! ::

[quote="Das Tor"I'm a sheep!!

Siv kept forgetting Kaida's apartment. To be fair, she WAS thirty, but she hadn't moved out yet. She should! But she didn't actually feel ready. She never felt r4eady for more than the basement. Although, she had the option and suspected their parents wanted her to move the heck out, and Siv caarefully removed her shoes, giving Uigite a warm rub between his ears.

"Yeah hello to you too, you fluffy little menace to society," Siv greeted Uigite fondly, rubbing an especially itchy looking ear before walking into the living room barefoot, her feet padding along the floor as she made her way sirectly to the loveseat, collecting Citrine in her arms and petting the other furbaby between the ears as she flopped on the loveseat, speaking dtryly.

"Oh. Oh no. Giving Citrine attention. The worst fate." Siv continued to scratch under Citrine's chin and sighed. "Anmd is it alright to trouble you for some green tea? Or... Something in the tea family of beverage." Siv was ill prepared to ask her sister for coffee. Kaida didn't drink it like Siv did. The woman sighed and tgook a moment to cradle Citrine in her arms. Kaida had afforded a whispered lecture on safety depowering, and Siv snorted, motioning.

"My point stands it was clear. I checked auras." Siv snorted defioantly, and scratched the feline in her arms under the chin agaiun. "Not some nuib.... Just out of the habit..." Siv muttered, irritably.

"Fair. I'm the obsessed coffee addict, not you." Sive laughed. It was true. siv drank coffee... A lot. A lot. Enough Zeke already asked if she was alright occasionally when she walked in to his work.

At Kaida's commentary on out5ing herself, however, Siv nodded, listening to her sister for a moment. Ah yes. Zeke... And Flint. Well so long as they were being honest, Siv motiuoned, as if drawing both topics together.

"About outing oneself and meeting people you might know...."

A pause.

"I might know two other senshi on a civilian level." Siv admitted. "One ius one of the baristas at a nerd coffee shiop, the other - you won't ******** believe it but."

Siv snapped her fingers.

"Hey how would you feel meeting a friend of mine for a modelling gig? I mnow the oiwner of that high end polkace Silk Moth. We're all planning a trip to Japan. He wants to get clothing ideas and Zeke is a huge weeb. But we also might hit South Korea. They're both senshi too. Y' might like 'em."

Siv's eyes sharpened with a sudden intensity, an expression of sheer determination on her face as she scowled.

"Oh I absolutely plan on Kyoto." Siv sighed, rubbing her temples. "Flint is fine, he wants to see more traditional clothing for inspiration. Which is good, he wants to keep his line fresh and up to date but oh no. Oh no it's Zeke whom needs Kyoto.

Siv shifted, eyes narrowing in an expression of sheer determination. Sheer focus. Sheer... Gods help her Zeke was a good one, but...

"I need to deweeaboo an otaku." And based on Siv's phrasing she absolutely was using the word in it's original context. "Zeke's a good guy but oh my sweet merciful heavens if he doesn't stop asking---"

Siv took a slow, deep breath. She understood being fascinated but Zeke had a few bad habits he needed to break and Siv pinched the bridge of her nose, slowly breathing, slowly - well, recovering from her friend's nerding without him nerding.

"I had to explain a handful of things to him already. He's nice just.... Oh ye gods. Kyoto will be goods for him. I can show him some of the areas that should break his bad habits to see quick. Just needs context. After Jyoto I'm not sure yet. Korea might be a sepertate trip. Flkint discovered kimchi."

And Flint nearly hissed at it, Siv recalled in bemusement.

"Flint owns the Silk Moth store so he's the one who needfs a model for the new line. Zeke's in college. Graduates soon, works as a barista at one of those gamer and nerd themed cafes. Aside the weebiness he's actually pretty sensible."

But! STILL!!! Siv had some... Opinions!

"Regardless, Zeke needs a passport. His expired when he was still a kid."

"To be fair, Hiroyuki is still at fault for Guindam Wing." Siv hissed, then paused. "I might have introduced him revently to Gurrenn Lagann and King of Lions: GaoGaiGaar however. He nereds hiss mecha fix." Siv sniffed. "And I mean, I'm deprogramming Zejke. He's pretty sensible. As for Flint he was already planning contracts and working out how many photos and where to get proper copies for a modelling portfolio." Siv sighed. "I kind of figure he'll get proper culture with Kyoto too. He's been asking if there's classics in Japan that aren't lijke the West so he's TGRYING bless him."

And then the qurestion of the hour. siv stalled of course. She sipped her tewa slowly, watching Kaida with wide, worried eyes. She tried to stall, and then sighed, leaned back, and closed her eyues.

"Three years." Siv admitted. "But I lost my pen and most of it's been an absolute mess of fighting and of - of - well. A mess of doing fights and then I lost my pen in my STUPID DESK a couple ywars there. And my beer magic works or seems to overcharge and explode. Very, very annoying."

"I felt like it was a responsibility." Siv admitted. "Like not powering - it let the city down. And well. I was hoping for a Mahou Shojou moment. I haven't had my Mahjou Shojou moment." Siv sighed, looking doiwn. Actually.... Heartbroken. Then she looked up.

"Wait, homeworlds? I visited mine. I can probably take you sometime. It's like... Streampunk with dried beer grit in spaces and some spots smell faintly still of liquor. All very weird, feels like a college frat house in that area. As for my magic.... Finding out would be nice."

And then Siv paused.

"I can take you -- wait Pratchett? Excuse me do I need to threaten a guy not to hurt my sister? I don't care if he's a powered. I'll talk to him. Looks like you're stuck calling me next time you power up,. sis." Siv sniffed, expression stiff. "You deserve the best in partners.:

Partners. Plural. Siv still remembered the heartbreak Kaida went through when Albert went his way. Siv's chest huffed, and then... Then she paused.

"You should... Just, you know. You should call me for poweriung in general. Not patrolling with people I need to babysit would be nice." Siv nodded. "Okay?"
