Once Shoutarou was settled in, Hoshi went to the Sensoriums on the HardBoiler with the Lost Driver and Nazca Memory in tow. She felt like there was new energy inside of her by what happened at the Narumi Detective Agency, definitely ready to put forth her energy into making Nazca work to its' fullest potential. Sure, it wasn't like aiming for Xtreme, but she didn't feel like she was being left out of the fun. No, she was going to help protect the smiles of those on Stacy along with Philip and Shoutarou.

She walked inside of an unused Sensorium and waited for Philip to come help her learn about the Nazca Memory as they agreed upon.

------

Now that she had more of an understanding about Nazca, Hoshi went to somewhere in the city, ready to try out her new powers. She stood perfectly calm and composed before attaching the Lost Driver to her waist, it wrapping around her. Then, she held up the Nazca Memory and clicked it.

"NAZCA!"

"HENSHIN!" she called and placed the memory in the slot of the Driver. She spread her arms out and felt flames and light surround her, transforming her into Nazca. Her hand took the Nazca Blade out of its' sheath, twirling it around, and she ran it over her gloved hand.

She wanted someone to train against just to see what techniques she could gain from this form so that she can utilize all of the skills that Philip previously showed her.

( OOC: Okay, so the first part is for Philip and Hoshi while the second one is free for anyone! Feel free to bother her about the transformation or anything else, as well! )

Shoutarou was in the midst of pushing up when he remembered what Hoshi had yelled. "You're learning a new Memory!"

He took Philip's hand, stumbling the rest of the way up with his partner's help, and put his hat on with a sigh. "Guess I'm a bit rusty, too. Taking care of stray Memory users isn't too challenging."

"Even so! You could have gotten yourself hurt if this was actually a real Rider battle!" Hoshi fired back when she was in the process of getting up herself. She made a face at Philip, puffing her cheeks out a bit.

"Yeah, yeah... Give a girl a break, y'know?" she muttered, taking his hand to get up herself. She dusted herself off and shook her head, holding the Nazca Memory in her hand.

"In lieu of things, I feel stronger than I was before."

"That's a sign of good compatibility," remaarked Philip thoughtfully. "I've learned it takes an idealist to work with Nazca well."

He nodded at Shoutarou. "Rest up, partner. We'll do this again till we get it right."

Shoutarou scowls at Hoshi. "You think I don't know that? I may be new to this place, but I've been doing the Rider gig for a few years now - I'm well aware of the risks!"

Shoutarou straightens up and nods at Philip. "Maybe get someone else to run the next one so the both of us can get back in the saddle."

Well, the obviously most mature response she has is sticking her tongue out at you, Shoutarou. Yep, her maturity is really showing right here and now. Though, after a moment of being childish, Hoshi regained her composure. "Well, you can't blame me for worrying. If this stuff happens on the battlefield, I don't want to lose a friend because of something that could be prevented."

She gave a nod to Philip and thought about what Shoutarou had said. "I've read up enough on a few Kamen Riders in the Gaia Library, so maybe I could do it the next time?" she offered, her arms crossing over her chest in thought.

"Hey now you two, you're getting up in arms over this," tried to interject Philip.

Shoutarou, in all his hard-boiled, bastion-of-steadfastness-and-maturity does the proper thing:

He sticks his tongue out as well.

Then he trades childishness for stubbornness with a side of ego. "Oi, you're not gonna lose me. I'm too tenacious."

"Tenacious enough for this?" Hoshi challenged as she sneaked up behind him, deciding to take his hat and put it on her head before wrapping her arm around his neck and mashing her fist against the top of his head, essentially giving him a noogie.

Sorry, Philip. She'll apologize for not listening to you later on.

Yeah Philip's going to walk away, shaking his head, amused.

"H-hey! Cut that out! You don't just grab a man's hat like that!" Shoutarou flailed a bit, caught rather off-guard.

"Well, it's your fault for starting this whole thing!" Hoshi was still giving him a noogie, not deterred by his flailing. This was far from over, however she was feeling more like a teenager instead of the young adult she tended to be most of the time.

Shoutarou's flailing soon ceases, and he resorts to trying to tug her arm free from his neck. How this goes with both of them being as wore out as they are, though, is a mystery. "Oi, I did not start this!"

Good luck trying that, Shoutarou. As worn out as she was, she still had some fight left in her and was proceeding to noogie him more than she did. "Yes, you did! Take responsibility!"

"Graaah!" More attempting to dislodge the girl goes here. "I did it, and I'd do it again, dammit!"

Okay, maybe-- no, it definitely was her stubborn self not admitting that she could be protected so that she didn't have to fight all the time.

But, still! That was totally beside the point. "Okay, fine then!" she said, admitting defeat before letting him go with his hat on top of his head.

"Just don't do it so recklessly, okay?"

And once said hat is on his head, he reaches up to adjust it. "Tch, reckless is how I do things, though, right Philip?"

...

"...where'd Philip go?"

"Oi, don't make me whack you with something," Hoshi quickly interjected, but at the mention of Philip, she noticed that he wasn't here.

Oh, that was bad.

"I think he walked out. Um, let's go find him, Shoutarou."
