An has posed:
    Natsumi hasnt been terribly active as An lately. Perhaps it's because of all the homework she's had to do lately. Being tired all the time didnt help much with the make up exams and over due assignments either. Happily, she'd found an interesting new specimen for her space botany class, and lately she's been spending an inordinate amount of time there, including today.

    For once, the room is empty, although lately there have been a lot of sleepy students coming to visit, and while An had yet found a way to control her new project, she was still able to steal some extra energy off of her test subjects while they slumbered.

    Undoubtedly, she had alerted Ail to her latest discovery, although unfortunately, some other classmates had also been alerted to the curious plantAnd had grown rather suspicious of it. With any luck, she'll manage to speak to Ail about it before one of those pesky friends of Mamoru decide to steal it from her.

Ail has posed:
Most of what Ail, aka Seijuro Ginga, has been doing is the opposite - trying to get enough Cardians out to keep them both in Energy. His grades have been suffering as a result, but energy-draining aliens gotta eat.

When 'Natsumi' invited him to do something other than that, he somewhat jumped at the opprotunity to do something with her, and the information she gave him sounded interesting, too.

He walks through the halls, somewhat happy at least on the weekend he's not being chased around, and slips into the Botany Club room, hopefully before his Unofficial Fan Club/Mob shows up.

"Hey." he says, closing the door and dropping the human disguise once he's sure it's just the two of them.

An has posed:
    When Seijuro enters the classroom, he'll find Natsumi peering intently at the plant, watering it carefully as she speaks softly to it. The classroom is otherwise empty of students, thankfully. Fortunately, Natsumi managed to make a quick snack of the plant's latest victim.

    When Seijuro greets her, she grins, waving him over. "Seijuro! You came! Look what I found.." Her eyes sparkle happily. She hasn't seen Seijuro at school lately, and has been working hard to keep their activities under cover. It seems she's not as good at controlling cardians as Ail though, not without that flute as her last mouse cardian attested to.

Ail has posed:
As Natsumi walks over, the clothes of the human disguise fade into shimmering light, leaving him in the clothes of their people. He grins back at her, a genuine smile. It's so nice to see her happy after all they've been through.

"Of course I came - the most beautiful girl in all the galaxies asked me to." he says, smile shifting to a smirk for just a moment, before he walks over to see what has her interest. "I don't think that plant looks native."

An has posed:
    Natsumi blushes at his compliment, without understanding it entirely. "Oh Ail! You're making me blush!" she leans over to kiss him briefly on the cheek and, noting that they are alone in the lab, the door to the room suddenly sweeps shut and locks. In the next gesture, Natsumi is replaced with the pink-haired alien girl, An!

    Glancing back at the plant, she nods. "Do you remember when there was an explosion of these plants popping up everywhere? I dont know everything that happened, but there were rumours..That they were non-native, that they were dangerous. Then as suddenly as they appeared, almost all of them vanished!"

    She leans over the plant, caressing one of its tender leaves with her finger. It seems to tremble slightly, as if reacting to her presence. "Except this one! I tell you, it came right out of the sky! I've been using this little club as a front to learn more about this plant, but I suspect it might be alien!" She smiles wickedly, "I dont understand entirely, but..Watch this!"

    An cautiously brings her hand a little nearer to the plant, a strange yet beautiful specimen that greatly resembles a venus fly trap. When she reaches out towards one of the teeth, it clamps down on her fingers and starts to glow as it sucks away some of her energy.

Ail has posed:
Ail nods. "Yeah, I remember when they were all over the place. But it's when we were still getting used to this planet so I wasn't really able to look into it. But it was really handy for getting the human's attention occupied so we could steal more energy." He looks down at the plant. "In a way they helped us get back on our feet from setbacks."

"...It's like us." he says after drawing in a breath. "A plant that lives off energy. Isn't it?"

An has posed:
    An grits her teeth in pain, slapping the plant back. Fortunately, it's already fed today and so it doesn't put up much resistance. She breathes a sigh of relief, glancing back at Ail. "An energy stealing plant that'sNot from this world.." she gasps, "But what could it mean!? It's like the Makaiju! Could it be..There are others out there? Other plants that settled hereOther..Aliens like ourselves?" but no, that couldn't be right, could it? They are the last of their kind, aren't they?

    "So far, I've managed to lure students in here for it to feed off of, it's grown tremendously in the last week or so.." It's about beach ball size now, "But I still dont know how to control it, how to use this to our advantage! Furthermore, it seems there are some people who would like to'borrow' it, and investigate it..Some friends of Mamoru's that I ran into a couple of times. I dunno what they're up to, but I get the feeling that they've encountered these before, that they know more than they're saying!"

Ail has posed:
Ail sighs a bit. It's times like this he plays more the role of older brother than lover. "I would like that, but I wouldn't get your hopes up, An. Even if there were others like us, without the Makaiju, they'd be monstrous, if they survived. I wish it weren't true, but I don't want you to carry false hopes in your heart."

"It certainly is interesting, though. I wish we hadn't lost all the knowledge of our people... there might be some way to turn it to even greater use. But if it's useful for you, use it like any other tool. It seems to be rare, given what happened. I'd not part with it easily."

"Humans are shifty, and devious. And they're as much enemy as food. I wouldn't trust them to bring it back if they figure out it has value to us."

An has posed:
    An pouts, looking discouraged. "Oh AilDo you really think we are the last of our kind? Are we truly alone in the universe? Just us, and our Makaiju? Was this plant.." she gestures towards the little plant, "Just a random event? If there is no ownerOr that owner was a monster and was destroyed by those annoying Sailor Senshi" she grits her teeth, clenching her fists. "Then we need to lure them out and demand answers! If they know something about this.." as for Mamoru's friends, well, maybe she can lay a trap for them.

    "No, we wont let them take it away. I'll keep it safely locked up here until it grows a bit more. Then maybe we can bring it to see the MakaijuMaybe it can communicate with this tree, maybe get some answers, orI dunno!"

    She shrugs, "Maybe I'm just wasting time, and should be working on luring innocent girls with Cardians.Heeey! I heard a new Virtual Reality arcade is opening up soonIt'd be the perfect place to let loose a Cardian, dont you think?"

Ail has posed:
Ail, ever the protector, quirks an eyebrow at An. "Do you think it'd be safe to bring it in front of the Makaiju with the way it is right now? Both plants, I mean." he says, quirking his head sideways to look at the plant. "...lets see if we can get more information before we go waving strange plants in front of the tree that sustains our lives."

"It's not a waste of time, but - that arcade sounds like a great place to attack. People in a confined space... we can get a lot of energy quickly and quietly in a place like that, I bet..." he says, leaning in. "Beautiful and brilliant. I am so lucky." he teases, pulling the deck of cardians from his jacket pocket. "Next week why don't you pick one and we'll go there for a little bit of more interesting fun than just an arcade."

An has posed:
    An sighs, "Yeah, you're probably right. Who knows how the Makaiju might react! Then I'll keep it here in the classroom for now. But We have to be careful that Mamoru's friends dont try and steal it!" she clanches her fists angrily. Who knows what they're really up to?

    "Dont worry, I'll find a better Cardian for you next time, and next time we'll crush those annoying senshi and their magical friends! It'll be perfect, once the arcade opens, everyone will be trapped inside..They wont know what hit 'em!!"
