"There’s nothing wrong with being the new hero on the block. Everyone was there at one point. And you have a good network of heroes to draw from if you need help."

"Hmm...I guess I do? I-I mean. I don't really know about them much, heheh."

Not that she would have known how to contact them before. "There also seem to be a lot of Kyoryugers in Tintreach...seems like I meet a new one every time I visit the Spirit Base. As long as they don't all have the bad habits of that a-=um," okay on second thought calling him an alien was probably not a good idea. She may have had a frustration with the kid but she wasn't about to out his secret to just anyone. "Er, this one space case..."

"If you want me to be honest…? I have no idea where I am!" Ramirez said cheerfully, laughing to himself.

"My name is Ramirez. I’m…well, I at least know I was travelling for quite some time before I found myself here. You intrigued me, Young Lady. You remind me of a few of my friends back home.”

Ramirez faltered. “Where are my manners? I haven’t even asked your name!”

[kyoryulilac]

His name was Ramirez? Maybe he came from south of the border. Angie couldn't detect much of an accent though, but...

"Oh--uh--My name's Angie Matsuo. You're in Tintreach City, California." His previous comment did bring up a question, however. "What do you mean, I remind you of your friends back home, if you don't mind me asking?"

Ramirez had noticed the youth in thought, and decided to keep to himself, simply admiring the girl in training. However, when she began to get frustrated, he decided to offer his assistance.

"Excuse me, Young Lady?" He said. "You seem to be training. If I may offer some advice…?"

He gently took the polearm from her and assumed a stance. “Your stance is fine, but you’re thinking too much about your technique.”

"The key to using a long-handed weapon like this is to let it’s momentum carry the attack- short thrusts don’t change that."

He made a short step forward and thrust forward, allowing the momentum of his step to carry into the pole.

"And if your opponent dodges this you can always…"

He gripped the pole from the middle and swung upwards “Use its weight to your advantage.”

He handed the pole back to Angie. “Hope I helped.”

Ramirez, not wanting to be a bother, turned to leave…

[kyoryulilac]

Angie was almost paralayzed when Ramirez spoke up, wide-eyed gaze shooting over at him. He...he saw the whole bloody thing. She was just about to shrink away into nothingness in embarrassment until he lifted the steel. Then, she watched his advice with no small trace of bewilderment, quietly nodding until the end.

"Oh, um...thank you!" She responded, tucking the honing steel back in its package. "I-I haven't seen you around here, have I?" She may not think it if she had met him at some other time of the day, but there was this nagging thought in the back of her mind that he was important, for some reason...and that wasn't brought on by his curious choice of wardrobe.

Ramirez stretched and opened the door to his shop, done with his work for the day and ready to begin winding down and relaxing. 

Who knew what the night had in store for him? New friends? New enemies? He’d just have to see. He began striding off into the night, whistling the melody of the Kyoryuger to himself.

[kyoryulilac]

Earlier that day, Angie had purchased a honing steel for her various cooking knives. Now that she had finished her chores, she headed back home, taking a slightly different route than the one she took by habit--less people around. She wasn't too concerned for her safety at the moment, for better or for worse. What worried her more was being seen.

Taking out the honing steel out of its package, she spun it around in her hand. It was fairly weighty for a rod that only went from the tip of her middle finger to her elbow, but it still felt nice in the hand--the way any tool to the aspiring chef should be. Grinning a little, she shifted her bag to loop around her shoulder, grabbing onto the honing steel with both hands.

Angie gained a look of intense concentration in her eyes as she shifted her foot back, holding the steel like it was a polearm. What was it that that medieval instructor had been teaching the actors during practice that she sat in on? Rule number one was easy, spears and the like are for thrusting, not swinging around like some sword-on-a-stick. She liked to think she got that one down.

Going through the exercises that they taught the actors, she paused mid-step after a bit. "...something just doesn't feel right..." Angie thought out loud. "Maybe I should ask if he does lessons." She had been so absorbed in her thought that she barely noticed the nearby spirit. Though it wouldn't be long, the closer he got...

"These days, most of the older Ranger teams work off world, as part of Hexagon. I just figured I’d reach out a hand to other people who are keeping the world safe."

[kyoryulilac]

"Oh! Then I guess I should thank you." Angie smiled, though it probably looked a lot more muted than the way she actually felt at the time. She took a seat in the booth across from him. "I'm still kinda new to this thing." If it wasn't already obvious.

"Not likely." He points down to the Gaburevolver. "But there’s only two reasons someone would carry something like that. Either you’re cosplaying, or you’re a Kyoryuger."

He pulls up his sleeve to show the Lightspeed Morpher. “Carter Grayson, Lightspeed Rescue Red Ranger.”

[kyoryulilac]

So he did notice it right away. Angie's mouth quirked up a bit at the fact that he even knew what a Kyoryuger was. "Yeah? Uh...nice to meet you," I think. "My name's Angie Matsuo. And you're right I guess, some people have a hard time understanding the word when I try to tell them what we are. Not that I blame 'em." Small shrug. "I've only ever heard of Lightspeed Rescue back when I was a kid." And she didn't live anywhere near there, so it was only natural she'd never seen their faces. "It's nice to know you guys are still around..."

Carter walks into the pizza parlor and sits rigidly in the  booth. He’s just come off a long battler, trying to keep enemies that other Ranger teams don’t know about from getting a foothold in this city. Vaglass, Shadows, the Phantom Empire, he’s been busy against them all.

He looks across the way, and sees the telltale signs of someone else with a morpher.

"Hey, come join me." He beckons. "I bet we’ve got a lot to talk about."

[kyoryulilac]

"Huh...what?" The raven-haired woman glanced around to make sure he wasn't just talking to someone behind her.

Angie didn't really make the Gabrevolver strapped to her thigh much of a secret--not like she could try options to hide it. It was too large to fit into her normal purse, and she did not feel it necessitated getting a larger one, or carrying around a backpack 24/7. The threat of Deboss was always this nagging danger in the back of her head and she felt safer keeping it here instead of back home. She shrugged off the odd looks she got from adults and kids alike by carrying it around, thankful that it was just a bit too colorful and strangely shaped to incite panic.

She pointed to herself with a peaked eyebrow once she was sure he was definitely talking to her, and proceeded to his table, standing at the front of the booth. "Do I know you?" A rhetorical question--of course she'd never met the man in her life.

BRAVU-DA? BRAVU-WHA?!

That’s because they don’t try hard enough.

In a flash of light, Chris was back to his normal size, standing next to Angie. He leaned forward and shielded his eyes before giving a whistle of appreciation as he watched Herradent chow down.

"That’s a beaut’. Did you build that baby?" As if he knew the first thing about robotics, much less giant robot dinosaurs.

[kyoryulilac]

"Nope," Angie answered. "I met her. Apparently she's got the spirit of an ancient dinosaur. I don't really have anything to disprove what I'd been told, and so..." She folded her arms, regarding the Zyudenryu. "She's not really 'mine' in a possessive sense. She's my partner."

[gatarifficgata-archive]

BRAVU-DA? BRAVU-WHA?!

[gatarifficgata-archive]

"WOO-HOO!" Chris cheered at the apparent defeat of their foe, "We did it!" He did a little dance which involved shaking his hips and almost slammed into a nearby building.

He then stopped doing the little dance that involved shaking his hips.

"Man this is kinda dangerous…"

[kyoryulilac]

Both the human and voltasaur flinched when Chris got dangerously close to the building in question. They both proceeded to relax a bit, and Angie gave Herreradent congratulatory neckrubs as the Zyudenryu started lunching on the Zorima's remains. "Thanks again, 'denty," she said to her partner before sliding off of the dinosaur's back and landing on the ground. Her transformation cancelled out, and she watched the still-GekiTohJa Chris look very...awkward.

"We're done here. You can close that out for now," she suggested. The blond kid did know how to end the transformation, right? Not that she'd know herself--she and her teammates didn't exactly turn into giant cat humanoids.

"Angie!" Tokatti smiled. “That’s such a pretty outfit! Must have been a fun event you were going to dressed like that.”

[kyoryulilac]

"I've worn it before a few times, when I've gone to parties," or rather, goaded into going to a college party--never cared much for those things, not enough self-respect--"but this photo was when a friend needed a model for her life drawing. I said as long as it meant I didn't have to get naked, I'd be okay with waiting for a bit...I wasn't in that pose when she drew me but then we had a bit of fun with the camera afterwards." Angie shrugged.

[gatarifficgata-archive]

BRAVU-DA? BRAVU-WHA?!

[gatarifficgata-archive]

"OH! RIGHT! GOT IT!" He spun the nunchuks in his giant hands, leaning back a bit before launching himself at the Zorima.

“JYUKENDO SMASH!”

"Jyukendo Smash! Jyukendo Smash! Jyukendo Smash!" He repeated, having stopped on a dime switching his grip so that one end of the nunchuck could be properly used as a stick with which to repeatedly beat against the Zorima’s head. Which he did. Over and over.

"Jyukendo Smash! Jyukendo Smash! Hey how much longer do you think I’l need to do this, should I kick it a little too? JYUKENDO SMASH!"

[kyoryulilac]

KyoryuLilac's shoulders began to drop as Chris continued his attack ad nauseam. "C'mon..." she muttered, having lost a good deal of her bravado. Herreradent's jaw flashed, and she bit down into the Zorima, tearing through the beast.

[gatarifficgata-archive]

BRAVU-DA? BRAVU-WHA?!

[gatarifficgata-archive]

A cold wind blew through the area, causing Gekitouja to shudder.

"So uh. Yeah." the giant Chris-turned-mecha boomed, sounding rather unsure of himself. Itself. Whatever.

"COUNT UP YOUR SINS, MOTHERFUCKER!”

[kyoryulilac]

Angie frowned deeply--or at least, she felt like she did. Was this guy just trying to showboat? Even in-costume, she didn't spend that long...

"Well, what are you waiting for!" Angie called out, her voice amplified. "Take the shot!" Herreradent's long powerful jaw kept the Zorima clamped in place even when it tried struggling.

[gatarifficgata-archive]

BRAVU-DA? BRAVU-WHA?!

[gatarifficgata-archive]

"Here we go! KURISSU  CHANGE!!! " Tossed the key upwards, fliping end over end before catching it again and flipping it open. He winked at the camera before plugging it into the mobirates and giving it a twist. Light exploded from the Phone, enveloping his body and causing him to grow to a massive size! The light shattered, revealing his new form!

"Tagire! Kokoro no Jyuken! Ore wa GEKITOUJA!!"

[kyoryulilac]

Angie's eyes went wide and her mouth quirked up to view the bizarre transformation. Even Herrerradent slowed down in her merciless gnawing to watch. Everyone in the area seemed to share a moment of silent perplexity. 

"Ore...?" Angie asked, glancing to the voltasaur. And then to the Zorima. None of them would have had a good answer. "Pretty cool, though..." the lilac-suited warrior muttered.

[thebullethero]

Angie had what could possibly be construed as an expression of mild concern on her face. "It would be an understatement to say you just look different..."

Ian was a bit surprised at her words, not even hesitating to walk to her with crossed hands and a random glare. "And who said I changed only by clothes, Angie? And why do you even ask?" He said coldly as the man leaned a bit closer, raising an eyebrow.

[kyoryulilac]

Her eyebrows furrowed for a few moments, evening out to the unreadable face she usually had. "I never implied it was just your clothes. It's more like you've had a rough day...or entire week," she suggested.
