Are you there, DiEnd? I need to talk to you.

[fightbymoonlight]

You really are an idiot. [oh look, the tsun's back in full force.]

[of_many_treasures]

So cold all of a sudden.

[fightbymoonlight]

I assure you it's only because I care. Have you seen how I treat Tsubomi? [There's some actual humor there. At least she's self aware.]

[of_many_treasures]

Yeah I noticed. You're pretty tough on the girl.

[fightbymoonlight]

I have to be. As the new Precure, she is tasked with fixing my mistakes. I can't be anything less than completely honest with her, even in pointing out her flaws.

Perhaps I'm harsher than I need to be [gee, you think?], but if it pushes her to improve, then so be it.

[of_many_treasures]

Well as long as you're honest with her and all. It shouldn't be too hard.

[fightbymoonlight]

Harder than you'd think. Tsubomi is... something else. You know, she actually yelled at me for stealing from you, even tough she had the most right to be upset.

Really, I shouldn't even be involving myself at all anymore, yet it happens again and again.

[of_many_treasures]

She's a unique girl. She's actually got a lot of qualities that would be interesting in heroic-types.

Once a Rider, I suppose. Or rather once a Precure.

[fightbymoonlight]

She's certainly one of a kind. Too naive for her own good, perhaps, but these hero types usually are, aren't they?

[She sighs.] Indeed. Hopefully once the new Precure gains her powers, they won't need me to keep saving them from Dark Precure anymore.

[of_many_treasures]

Idealism takes a hero far, even if it seems like there isn't much to it.

Hopefully. Itsuki should earn her powers soon but should save some of the drama circling around her birth as it were.

[fightbymoonlight]

I just hope it takes her far enough. [She worries.]

Was it really that bad?

[of_many_treasures]

I'm sure it will. Riders have run far on idealism before.

Sasorina attacked Itsuki during a very delicate moment, targeting someone very precious to her.

[fightbymoonlight]

I hope so. I can't believe I used to be that stupid and idealistic.

Yes... that does sound like something Sasorina would do. And delivering Potpourri to Itsuki now is enough to prevent this from happening?

[of_many_treasures]

Well, as you can see, so was I.

It should allow Itsuki to connect with Potpourri easier than just showing up and saying "I'm your fairy". Hopefully it will ease the pain if Sasorina does pull what she was planning.

[fightbymoonlight]

Hm, right. There's really no judging a book by its cover.

That makes sense. It should also give her time to get used to the idea of being a Precure. That's not a luxury many of us get - we usually get our powers in the heat of the moment.

[of_many_treasures]

True enough.

It should, yes. And probably give her an idea of how to use her powers. I recall hearing that Potpourri's Precure would have strong defensive powers.

[fightbymoonlight]

Defensive powers... Interesting. Currently Cure Blossom and Cure Marine are too offense focused, so that will definitely come in handy. They might actually stand a chance.

[of_many_treasures]

Strong ones at least. Seems like with her knowledge of fighting it will balance her out. I have to say, I'm envious. I don't have strong defensive capabilities.

[fightbymoonlight]

I had one attack that could reflect enemy attacks, but then, I had years to develop my attacks. A Precure focused on defense... I imagine it will be amazing.

With Itsuki helping them, they'll become a lot stronger, I think. They might even become strong enough to acquire the Heartcatch Mirage.

[of_many_treasures]

I take the Heartcatch Mirage is one of the stronger treasures in this world? [Briefly his usual reflexes kicked in but he squashed it down.]

[fightbymoonlight]

Yes. I'm not sure about its exact powers, but it was thanks to its power that Cure Flower managed to seal away the king of the Desert Apostles fifty years ago.

It's not a matter of simply taking it, though. First the Precure involved will have to pass a trial.

[of_many_treasures]

[Kaitou threw his hands up.] Always a trial, isn't it. Never easy, lest someone proves themselves to it.

[fightbymoonlight]

Well, that's how it goes with these ancient traditions. The Heartcatch Mirage is not an item to be used lightly. I imagine that whomever decided on the trial wanted to make sure it didn't end up with those too inexperienced to handle it.

Though I don't actually know what kind of trial it is. I never made it that far, myself.

[of_many_treasures]

Riders earn their Super Level powers normally. Through some kind of ability or new item granted to them. Some rarely, like Hibiki, train for their Super Level abilities.

[fightbymoonlight]

I'm not sure how the other Precure receive their higher level powers. [Because Yuri figures it's safe to assume that they did get super special final powers.] From what I've heard so far, the Precure who protect the Heart Tree are a more long standing tradition than is the case with other teams. I doubt they have any types of trials like the one required for the Mirage.
