Welcome to Gaia! ::

Somniorum had drawn the conclusion, based on an admittedly small sample, that patrolling the city might be significantly safer should he choose to avoid parks. Most of the things that had attempted to make a meal of him had done so during his apparently ill-advised jaunts through those perilous green spaces, so it only made sense that he should keep to the paved areas. That some of those paved areas were scary alleys couldn’t be too bad.

Yes his outfit was strange.
Yes he looked like some kind of strange reenactor with what might be some unhealthy fixation on the moon.
Yes he had no satisfactory explanation for why he was carrying around a paper lantern.

BUT.

Everything else in this city made that seem far less than unusual.

The fact that some cosmic force had trusted him with a chunk of itself? That was far more concerning and for several seconds he questioned the thing’s judgment. It probably could have found someone more qualified. At least he hoped that there were people more qualified than him running around. There had to be, or the planet would have long since gotten eaten.

Or whatever it was that “Chaos” intended.

He would have to ask someone.
Probably not Bacchus.

Wait.

s**t.

That was one of them, right?
It felt wrong.
Itchy?
No, that’s not the right word.
s**t.
It’s getting closer.

The page’s eyes flicked toward possible escape routes.
He should probably be less interested in running.
He could be less interested when he had something that could do some actual damage. Hopefully.

The noxious energy signature was far too close for Somniorum’s comfort.
Granted, any distance where it was close enough to sense was closer than he would prefer. His pace quickened in the hopes that he could lose it.

Lose whoever it was who…wait.

What?

Triceratops?

What?

He froze as he moved to face the agent of Chaos, half alarmed, half baffled at the mass of hair chasing an unfamiliar girl as she charged in his direction.

What?

Managing to convince his stubbornly paralyzed legs to shift, the page’s turned just enough to allow the senshi(?) Maybe?

The question became irrelevant as the stranger collided with his shoulder, sending him sprawling across the ground. With a bit of a grunt he rolled onto his side, attempting to grab the girl’s legs and hopefully knock her off balance too.
