Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sailor Tempesti’s evening patrol hadn’t been as eventful as it could be, aside from an encounter with a belligerent youma who had insisted upon making trouble for a group of teenagers. Luckily for everyone involved the kids left under the impression that the entire episode was a performance piece. Even if they lacked an explanation for the fact that they were far more tired than they would have been had the youma left them alone. She’d managed to leave them with a bit more pep, courtesy of the energy her planet allowed her to share, but they’d still sleep harder than usual tonight.

Regardless, external forces seemed determined to ensure that the rest of the night wouldn’t be entirely without conflict. It seemed as though Destiny City had decided that it wouldn’t be summer without the presence of one galline marauder. At least that’s what Tempesti suspected when she stumbled upon a clutch of all too familiar eggs. A resigned sigh hissed forth as the senshi scanned the area for the red eyes she knew lurked in the dark.

Tempesti turned her attention to the unfamiliar deep space senshi. “I’m afraid not, and the thing that laid them…well it’s nasty. Not just the smell, not that I like the smell, but it’s mean and chances are it’s getting ready to pounce.”

The young senshi was distantly aware that she might be speaking a bit too quickly, but it was better to try to give the stranger what little preparation she could before they were caught in a maelstrom of beak and claws. There would be time for introductions afterward, of course, but the beast was not likely to allow them the luxury of conversation.

At the man’s startled leap, she whirled around to face their foe before doing her best to maneuver her own body between him and the feathered menace.

“Bitter Blast!”

Tempesti was ready to tackle the thing of course, she had before. Or maybe a lookalike, she still wasn’t entirely clear on how many there were. Regardless, some claw marks and what felt like an eternity of scrubbing out the smell were worth keeping someone else from taking the brunt of its ire.
