Cure Gull calls this Firebird that Sailor V passed a number around about for a check. She didn't have the final say in stuff- but her opinon probably meant something- and thusly, she called. 'Hey! This is Haruna Kurosawa! Cure Gull! Um... we should talk!.... *pause* About the Virtue thing! Okay! Imma gonna fly to the top of the Westco Financil Building so you better be there!' and before Firebird can get much of a word in edgewise SHE'S HUNG UP!
Cure Gull was standing at the top of the building. Corvus, a seagull was on her shoulder, drinking a cup of hot cocoa and overall enjoying the winter weather for a change because you can enjoy anything with hot chocolate.
"So.... think she's a bird girl!?" she asks Corvus.
"I dunno, I think you're more birdgirl than Virtue can handle at the moment."
"Hey!"
A pair of feet would be seen coming up from the side of the building as a girl wearing a gymnast unitard with a red overcoat over it emerges, holding a mace. She floats upside down, glowing with a black aura. "Are you Cure Gull?" she finally asks. "Hmmmm. I see why you're called that - seagulls must like you." She shrugs. Oddly enough, though she's upside down, her hair is falling up or anyting - it looks like to Firebird, gravity is toward her feet thoughh er feet are pointing to the sky. "I am Firebird."
Cure Gull watches Firebird float upside down. She taps her chin a bit. She tilts her head to the side.
She tries to do a handstand.
....This doesn't really work so she hops back to her feet. Corvus remains on her shoulder as she tries silly things. Luckily, his Hot Chocolate has a cover!
Corvus talks. "Not all seagulls. Just me." he says.
Cure Gull smiles. "Well /I/ like seagulls, so that's why I'm Cure Gull! Hi! So you're 'Firebird' huh?" she peeks at the mace.
"Oh....! Nice Mace! What's it do?" she asks.
"...does it throw fire...?" she asks.
"...because you're name's 'Firebird'..."
"Right...?" she asks.
Firebird smiles. "Yeah - I've been asked that more than once. When I was a little girl I was a gymnast. I had long red hair and wore red - and people called me Firebird because I was so aerobatic. Those days are lond behind me - but when Swirling Vortex here awakened, she asked me to pick a name. So... now that I can really fly again, I went with that nickname." She then slowly rotates herself until she's upright, floating a few inches off the rooftop. "And... did that seagull talk?"
Corvus seems taken a-back. "My name is Corvus, thank you, I am Cure Gull's partner." he insists. He takes another sip of his hot cocoa.
"That's Corvus! Don't mind him. Yes. He's my partner!" she beams.
She head tilts. "Oh... okay then!" she smiles. "Swirling Vortex...hrmmm...oh! And Intelligent Device then. Okay! Yeah I know something about that. I know lots of people who use those. Storm Knight.. White-chan... a guy named 'Riventon...." she counts off names on her fingers.
"Riventon's kind of an evil jerk though, I wouldn't approach him. White-chan might wanna fight you- but she won't kill ya! She might try to hire you for WPS-- Witchhunter Protective Servcies-- though, that's your choice and---it may be a conflict of intrest for you for Virtue... though...I'm in WPS for various reasons.." She admits with a softer blush.
"Virtue's the better gig , really, if you're looking to help people..." she says.
"So you talkd to Sailor V?" she asks.
Firebird blinks. "White-chan?" she asks, clicking her tongue. "Well, yes, I talked to Sailor V. She actually almost shot me out of the sky." She smiles faintly. "She told me about that Virtue group - I'd love to join it but I just don't know what to do," she croons. "Any thoughts?"
Cure Gull kicks her feet. "White-chan... Kasaugmi White...." this her public and secret identity-- Hannah Sharpe is her real name. But Haruna isn't telling her that. "She's the CEO of WPS. She means well! She's a good person....and always treated me nice. She just has.... different ideas. Than Virtue. About a lot of stuff." she says with a blush as she swallows.
"Anyways...." she trails off awkwardly.
"Virtue is good people. If it wasn't for them.....I'd still.... being making some bad mistakes.." she says lightly.
Firebird nods. "I'll stick with Virtue for now. So - how do you guys communicate with each other or whatnot?" she asks. "Some radio frequency or whatnot?" she asks, clicking her tongue. "Oh - I hope you didn't get dizzy from my arrival - sometimes I forget what orientation I'm in because it all feels 'normal' to me." She smiles as she looks around - then sighs. "Nowhere to sit..." she murmurs.
Cure Gull frowns. "I'm sorry..." she says. "I didn't know! I'd had chosen something with seats! Can you float fine?" she asks. "Corvus do you have a chair in your tail feathers!?" she asks.
Corvus sighs. "No that's too big." he insists.
"Oh! Through a phone. Um. I can't give you one yet. I need to okay it..." she says. A moment... she pulls out a phone and turns around, there's mumbling for a bit.
Firebird nods. "I can - but floating gets tiring after a time. Constant use of magic can be tiring... and... standing is an issue..." She sighs softly as she floats there, as she simply move down to sit on the edge of the roof, her useless legs dangling. She is quiet as she lets you talk.
Cure Gull turns back around. "Okay. Tommrow. I gotta take you to meet Royale-san! He can okay your membership! I can't. I'm really sorry!" she beams. She walks to the edge and sits! "H-hey! Don't be slow glum... I know it can be difficult..." she blushes. "My girlfriend, Hannah-chan, is blind- but... she's a really good kickboxer! I should take you to meet her someday soon! I bet you two have a lot in common if you think about it!" she beams and smiles.
"She's teaching me how to kickbox, too! I'm going to be REALLY good at it!" she insists.
Firebird stars. "You're friends with Hannah Sharpe!" she whispers, her eyes sparkling. "She is such an inspiration to me. She's blind... but is still doing so much with her life. I... I never recovered from the fall that broke my back. Yes, I have gravity powers - but... just being able to walk down the street... is something I can never do... enjoy your kickboxing... I... I hope you do well..." she murmurs, looking away, a tear in her eye.
Cure Gull places an arm around Firebird and TUGS her to her side and she huffs! "Yes! Hannah-chan!" she beams. "She means a lot to me, too!" she says. "But knowing Hannah... she'd probably try reallllly hard to find a way to help you, too! I bet she might even figure it out with ya!" she insists. "Hannah is that kinda person, really!" she smiles wide.
"So...don't worry!" she says giving the other girl a squeeze!
Firebird smiles faintly as she gives you a hug back. "By the way - did you mean to give your real name when you called me? I... didn't want to bring it up... and if you'd rather I 'forget' it, I certain can..."
Cure Gull looks at Firebird. "Well..." she says softly. "The fact of the matter is, the two... 'big bads' we worry about know who I am. I actually worked for one for a bit... and the other kidnapped and brainwashed me for a bit." she admits a little softly and sadly. "So...when the bigger bads know who you are, what's the point of hiding who you are from friends!" she smiles wide.
Corvus nods matter of factly. "Yes." he adds.
Firebird murmurs, "Do you want to know who I am?" she asks softly, clicking her tongue. "It'd only be fair..." She sighs softly as she just lays back, resting her head on her folded hands. "It's good to rest a bit. Using magic to move can be tiring after a while." She smiles. "So, what kind of powers do you have? I wield gravity magic. If you like - I could lety ou bounce aruond like an astronaut on the moon."
Cure Gull shakes her head. "That's up to you. I don't force people to tell me who they are. Just give me a name. Releasing henshin this high and cold doesn't sound like a good idea anyways." she says softly. She smiles. "I use Wind and Feathers, actually!" she says. "--and some Purification magic. Dark stuff doesn't like that." she asides.
"I can also use PreCards to sort of... shift that around. I have another mode that lets me use some Ice magic, for example!" she smiles.
She head tilts. "No, I can fly if I wanted to! How do you think I got up here!" she beams.
Firebird smiles. "So far I have some gravity magicks - I can make someone too heavy tomove, or float them in Zero-G. And fling heavy objects around. Still working onothers. Swirling Vortex can seal dangerous artifacts inside it. My Device is pretty cool." She smiles. But she doesn't say her real name.
Cure Gull beams. "Anyways, tommrow there's a meeting supposedly, that you might wanna attend. I'll put you in touch with Royale-kun!" she beams. She writes down a number and hands it to Firebird.
"Is that all Firebird? And--oh! Yes, I've already said you're fine--- and... Sailor V said you were fine too! So you should have no problems really getting in. Really. Royale-kun just needs to give you the formality stuff at this point before we give you the phone and you're in!" She beams.
Firebird smiles. "I get the impression that Sailor V is easily impressed. Are any of the Virtue people Device users like me? I have SOOOOOO many questions about how Vortex works."
Cure Gull says. "Storm Knight. You'll wanna talk to her. She might be able to tell you something." she smiles. "She's a good friend of mine. Tell her Haruna or Cure Gull sent ya! She can be a little ... curt sometimes. She's a very good and nice caring person though!" she beams.
She stands up and waves.
"I need to get going now. Are you going to be okay from here on out tonight?" she asks.
Firebird nods. "I'll look up this Royale tomorrow," she states. "Once I get back to my wheelchair I'll be fine," she states, smiling. She starts glowing with that black aura again as she rises up. She kisses Swirling Vortex and then flies away.
Cure Gull waves. "Have a good evening, Firebird!" she smiles as the bow on the back of her outfit turns into two large transparent green wings and she takes off into the air in a streak of green!---and off towards Infinity University!
