After finishing his studies (for now...) at the local library, Mojo would begin to wander the city, prayer beads quietly clacking as he walked, taking in the sights and the feel of the planet, and see what might catch his attention due to being exotic or eye-catching.

“My heart is full of Galaxy, Galaxy Love!” A singing could be heard. From the front of a video store with the lates and greatest of Tuffle broadcasting tech. Parked on the side of the road was a large crazy Snail of a vehicle which hummed gently.
“Traveling the stars, from my space suit, I pursuit… for a Galaxy Love of my own.” There was a pair of voices along side the singing on the screens and it was filled with dancing lights and a dancing purple girl beaming with joy as she near mirrored the pop group. She caught looks and gazes but it wasn’t like people stopped and stared at the oddity happening with a being they were hardly familiar with.
The song ended and the commercial aired confirming a few concert dates and locations and the flowering lights seemed to brim with joy as her smile only grew. Until the suddenly popped and sunk back into her body.

Mojo saw the odd vehicle on the road, a large snail of sorts, and heard the singing from the excitable seeming purple woman. Curious, Mojo approached the vehicle and the girl as the song ended, her own voice falling silent as it did, the prayer beads around his neck clacking audibly as he stepped closer, an inquisitive expression on his face.

She sensed a power level around her lingering and she meet their gaze and recognized the familiar face.
“Hello Mojo, it’s good to meet you I hope your expedition at the library was insightful.” She grinned wide. “Welcome to Planet Plant, you’ve come a long way!”

Mojo would bow his head politely at this woman who seemed to know him, prayer beads swinging at the motion, hands clapped before him.
"I apologize, however I do not recognize you, yet you seem to recognize me. May I inquire as to your name, whoever you are?"
Despite the seeming familiarity of this unknown woman, Mojo sensed no ill intent emanating from her.

“I am Guardian Kai of Planet Plant, Nen.” She started with a tilt of her head in greeting. “I am a member of the Divine Race, Kaioshin. We oversee all life in the universe. And I oversee all life on this Planet. Including yours… sorry for the over familiarity, I saw you looking to expand your knowledge on Magic and felt you might come my way so I am rather excited to meet you.”
“Now why don’t we have some tea. I don’t know much about your kind but your presence is absolutely fascinating!” She waved a welcoming hand as she move to her snail. “What I do know of your Tragic tales is really second hand maybe we can help each other with better understanding?”

Mojo would gift the Guardian Kai Nen a soft smile.
"I apologize, however the library did not speak of your race or your job. However I would love to learn from any knowledge you wish to pass on, and I will be happy to share any knowledge I may possess that you are curious about."
Mojo would follow behind the rather excitable purple Kaioshin, far more relaxed then her own movements. He did note her mention of somehow knowing all of life on this planet including what they were up to any given moment, proven by her knowledge of his most recent movements. Granted, she may have learned such things from the surveillance technology all around the planet, including the android Zehn who was assisting Mojo, but at this time he rather doubted that answer.

“Oh no but they did mention Divine magic… am I correct?” She went to the kitchen section of the GMS. It was as round on the inside as it was out and it had a cushy seating area in the middle with a short table where one sits close to the ground to enjoy a meal.
“Would you like tea or snacks of some kind… I heard your kind has quite the sweet tooth is this true or just a stereo type?” She paused and looked at him with a caring expression.

Mojo would sit politely after being indicated he could do so, answering her first question as he did.
"Yes it did, however it mainly spoke of humans and a scattering of other races that practiced it, mostly granted the ability to do so by luck. It made no mention of your race or role, Guardian Kai."
At her second question Mojo's soft smile would turn into a small smirk.
"Ah, a bit of both. Most Majin do indeed have a fondness for sweets, especially candy and baked goods. Some do favor other kinds of foods over sweets, but there are always exceptions that prove the rule, and it is the rare Majin who will turn away food in general."
Mojo would shake his head in amusement at the thought, prayer beads announcing the motion.
"Ah, but I ramble. Tea would be lovely, thank you."

She put up a pot, filled it with water, and started it to boil.
“That is fair.” She confirmed. “Our race is a distant one. We’ve been around since the dawn of the universe and we don’t like to practice involving ourselves in the progress of its growth. Many of us are assigned a planet and are simply watching. Such distance from Mankind is difficult for me personally.
“I wanted more an up-close and personal view of those in my care.” She went to a cabinet and procured a couple of tea cups and the tea itself. “When your race was created it was quite a buzz to the afterlife realms. Many of us clamored in such a haste to learn of what humans created. I will apologize if any of my information is… off.”

Mojo continued to smile gently at his current host, body relaxed.
"It is no trouble Guardian Kai. The only way to learn is to ask, and as an eternal student myself I am not at all opposed to answering questions or correcting inaccuracies upon request. I merely ask that you be willing to educate me in what knowledge you may possess in kind."

She was gathering some additions for the tea and adding it all to a tray as she continues to speak. “Now I am but a few thousand years old my practice in magic is lacking but I’ve read and thought to use some of it in practice. In truth anyone can use just about any magic method given the right teachings and willpower.”
She picked up the tray and brought it to the table. But then went to the bookshelf and grabbed some of the books to lay them out. One was a list of techniques and another was more on the types of magic. “You basically read one of these already but it’s my personal notes. The other is like a rough sketch of a… spell book.”
“What magic interested you the most?” She went back over to the pot to see about it starting to whistle.

Mojo did not show any surprise to her stated age. Any race claiming "divinity" of any kind would naturally have some form of longevity to help back up such a claim, if nothing else.
"They all interested me to some degree or another. Admittedly, my interest in demonic magic is mostly towards the academic, based around using knowledge of that branch to help counter it along with possibly making use of it to help produce medicines or various rare materials. The alchemical aspect, to create permenant materials from what is already present, could have a myriad of beneficial uses, though obviously such a thing would take quite a lot of study and extremely careful experimentation.
"Summoning and Evocation magic seem rather useful for accomplishing mundane tasks in mass fashion. Evocation could help provide power for areas of the universe that do not possess the atmosphere for technological methods, along with an ability to alter temperature in an area to be more hospitable for a time, essential for exploring the unknown. Summoning meanwhile could be of use to create automated workers of magic, not sapient/sentient, but capable of drudgework in areas without technology such as tilling a field or moving large masses."
Mojo would pause at that.
"Of course, both of those arts have their uses for warfare and violence in general, and I will not shy away from learning such, however I believe there is always more to such arts then simply how to weaponize it for mass destruction or conquest.
"Divine and Conjuration magic are the I am most curious about. Divine magic has such potential to help people, whether it be healing, providing closure from the loss of a loved one,or simply predicting inclement weather. Additionally, Divine magic provides the most opportunity for learning any form of knowledge, with the ability to commune with those who have passes to acquire their knowledge first hand. Conjuration I am curious about because of its infinite potential. New power sources, the ability to create works of art or fashion a shelter of stone, calling forth creatures to study or even access other universes."
Mojo would chuckle softly.
"Admittedly, for Conjuration I am rather biased. That is the branch that helped craft the Majin as a race after all."

She shuddered a bit. “Ooph… demonic magic. I’ve seen it, read about it, and it’s a cruel and greedy magic, no doubt. Even some of the minor spells bend the mind and sicken the body.”
“Now, Evocation, I don’t think will be of much use beyond study unless you have just a massive store of energy within your self. Just… it takes a lot of time and so much energy to try such things. It takes a very old and very experienced mage to use those things.” The pot started to whistle and she took it off the burner and brought with her an assortment of individual tea bags in a soft wood tray. “Summoning doesn’t suit me either. I question the beliefs I’ve upheld when I look at what I’ve summoned.”
“As a Kaioshin and a Guardian I’m never supposed to get in the way of life and that includes death. It is frowned upon to cause any harm to any life. If I summon a being and simply use it for its purpose then be done… it just seems so unfulfilling to me.” She placed the Hot water on a iron plate. She placed it and the tea assortment before taking a seat of her own across from the Majin.

Mojo would peruse her tea assortment curiously, listening as she spoke.
"As I said, I believe everything has a purpose. If Demonic magic corrupts the user so readily, then perhaps Divine has some methods to prevent or remove such corruption, being its opposite? As for Summoning, as I said, it would depend on the sapience of the conjured being. Menial robots designed for a single task would not be much different in comparison to a temporarily animated piece of earth for a singular purpose, correct?
"As for Evocation's power requirements... I do believe I have a few tricks to manage that particular issue."
Mojo would smile secretively at the Guardian Kai before allowing his expression to slip back to its more relaxed smile.
"You did not speak of Conjuration or Divine magicks however. Also..."
Here Mojo's smile turned a little sheepish.
"I do not recognize any of the brands you have here, I would be willing to try a tea you recommend?"
