Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I'd chalk it up to a cosmic joke Bimini." He paused when he heard Tusi's answer. "Though that maybe another decent answer."

Niflhel was fiddling with his hat idly as he watched the crowd having seemed to calm a great deal but still keeping his eye on the back in case a brawl started. It was pretty crowded over in that area. He thought he saw chibimoon with them and gave a small frown. Zirconia was at least with Hug-bell on the other side.

********* was over with the asteroids in their own little group he pondered. Zirconia had mentioned Cavalier. "Hey Zirconia, all your Cavalier, they got useful weapons right?" He remembered Laocoon but he wasn't sure about any other cavaliers. Maybe the parallel's cavaliers were like the knights... though he didn't know if they started out with silly weapons or if they got decent weapons instead.

What with the varied differing opinions being called out from different sides of the hall, Athene was finding the topic of knights equally difficult to follow along.

The dark-haired senshi got that they appeared to have ‘weapons’ like the Negaverse, like that shield of Camelot’s and had heard something about something called aspects, but had gotten lost in the various differences of opinion, some of which had been quite het up, that had seemed to explode from varying parts of the hall. Especially when the topic of purification had come up, it was hard to miss the black clad blue-haired woman that had dropped down from seemingly nowhere. She had seemed particularly incensed – right down to screaming to the room at large before stomping out.

Then there had been the arguments and counter-arguments of talking with the Negaverse versus going down the road of forcible purification. It was enough to give him a mild headache trying to follow along it all and Athene was resigning himself to maybe trying to ask Camelot or one of the Knights in the Shepherds for more information when a senshi with curly brown hair appeared in front of him and introduced herself as Sailor Submara. “Um evening,” keeping his voice quiet so as to do his best to not disturb the others around him, Athene quietly tried to recall if the brown and white fukued senshi was one of the few senshi that he’d crossed paths with and drew a blank. “Pleased to meet you Sailor Submara, I’m Sailor Athene. Sure you can scan me if you want, although it's probably best to do it on silence so that we don't disturb the others.” He gestured to some of the others around them.

Niflhel looked at Zirconia and couldn't help but grin. "Hm.... I think knights were shipped from earth to their planets. I would have to double check on that though."

He thought carefully about what she said. "Bemini, it's totally the cosmic joke. Even the parallel cavaliers have real weapons. Thank you Zirconia."

'Cosmic joke? We're given some pretty good allies, and what better way to introduce them than to call them a cosmic joke?' Tsui wasn't sure if she really liked or agreed with either Zirconia's or Niflhel's opinion on the matter, but she knew better than to say anything outloud. No, speaking out against either of those two would only send this meeting back into a frenzy and with the way the room was already dividing up on it's own, Tsui wasn't going to be the one to tip the boat over, so to speak. So, she merely crossed her arms and kept her bitterness to herself. 'Thank you for the vote of confidence to the already confused Knights... I'm sure being told they're a joke is certainly going to make everything better.'

Who cared about these cavaliers if they weren't physically here to help them? That'd be like calling for help, getting a group of well-meaning girl scouts willing to try their best despite everything, when what you really wanted was soldiers. 'It's not wonder we can't agree on anything; we belittle the help we DO get.'

It was enough to make Tsui want to leave, but she refrained. She wouldn't be criticized for storming out and causing unnecessary drama, even if it meant to suffer through more insults thrown to one another.

"Alright, so, how do we get these cavaliers, or help the knights get to the same level as these cavaliers?" Tsui asked, hoping that by the time she spoke up most of her bitterness was gone from her voice. She was never the type to hide her feelings well, but if anyone called her out on it, she'd simply say that she was getting tired. It was the truth, after all.

"I know a bunch of school girls that would be more than willing to prove that any item, as flimsy or harmless as it may be, can be just as viable as a weapon as a sword or spear." Tsui said, not giving out the details in the matter as she was certain that it would give away too much information about the school she was unfortunate enough to attend. She also played a few video games, some of which introducing some unique weapons that would send even McGyver packing. All they needed was ingenuity and some creativity... something that Tsui wasn't sure she could help them with.

On that other part, however, Tsui was willing to oblige in some manner. "Believe it or not, I get into fights often, always had, and where I go now makes it mandatory to learn to punch and kick fast and hard. I'm not the most skilled fighter, but I knew a few things and I'd be willing to help. I also have some gymnastic experience, if anyone is nimble enough to want to try it. Makes for great escape method, and catching yourself when you're falling."

Niflhel frowned a little at Tusi he was trying to lighten the mood with the cosmic joke comment but maybe it was taken a little too seriously because of his tone. However, when Zirconia said her piece and the encouragement he couldn't help but grin. "Thank you fluffy~" He called hoping she'd lighten up a bit too.

----

Hug-bell watched the exchange between Zirconia and Niflhel with slight concern. She could tell Zirconia was already irritated but.... she hoped Zirconia wasn't about to do something to embarrass her.

"I mean, you're universe, and then mine, there's a lot of differences like--" Zirconia could not shut up when someone got her started on the parallel world. Homesick? Yes. Overly proud and a tiny bit biased? HELL yes. However, Niflhel's interruption made her pause and a visible twinge was apparent in her face.

No that was not the way to lighten Zirconia up. Zirconia never lightened up period unless you told her that her usual scowl caused wrinkles. And then only temporarily.

But to make things worse, the knight she'd known for longer than she cared for seemed to think it was just hi-larious when he acted dumb. And she was sick of it. Prepared to march and close the distance between them and hurt him (Forgetting these things had a tendency to seem less murderous when one was a fluffy cat and not a fully grown woman) when a pair of small hands grabbed her around the waist, bringing her to a premature halt and keeping her from advancing any further.

Super Sailor Chibi Hygiea was there for the most part, had been there pretty much the whole time. The little senshi had been a little late, sure, but she had missed out on really a big bulk of the conversations and the big important discussions as the other senshi began to divide themselves into various groups. For the most part, it was mostly because her mind had gone into shock and awe at the collection of guardian cats her focus narrowed in on when she entered the room. Everything, all the voices, blanked out as she stood mouth agape and her eyes filled with stars, just staring at all the felines. Not to mention, leaving her in an rare state of a lose for words.

*********, Cora, Zirconia, Tomlin... so many that she knew and there were so many that she didn't. Had there always been this many? Were there more that she didn't know about; she was aware that there were sadly some cats that were bad but this many on the side of Order? This was just amazing and Hygiea couldn't help but look upon each of them with a glint of adoration in her orange eyes. So. Many. Cats. That could talk to boot.

At first, her body had instinctively managed to get her to stand near the Asteroids and the best cat of them all. But after so much fidgeting with her pink cat plush, pulling and stretching its poor little limbs and rocking in place, her legs began to move on their own as she stared at all the cats that padded their way past and to various persons. Her focus remained miles away from what everyone else was talking about even though it was all terribly important and so many more of her human friends were present. But that really didn't matter as she aimlessly made her way to the corners of the room.

Slowly the voices began to finally filter into her ears, becoming more words and less garbled messes of sound when her brain decided it was going allow itself to work from the cat overload from her initial appearance into the room. There seemed to be a lot of heated debates and whispers between some of the groups, things she couldn't really make out given the volume of voices and the distance they were from her as a whole.

She wasn't sure how well she fit into any of their conversations, given she had totally missed the topics at hand and all, but there was a group of people that Hygiea did take notice too. From the corner of her eye she noticed a small little scene involving a rather grumpy purple haired cat-person who seemed to be descended upon that weird dark colored knight. And well, a very familiar yellow class eternal chibi who now had said purple haired cat-person around the waist trying to stop her. Hygiea crossed the room to where Hug-Bell was trying to spare Nifhel the wrath of Zirconia.

"Huuuuuug-Beeeeeeelll ~" She sang out as she got closer.

There had been much staring at the odd summons he had received - not even knowing how it had even gotten to him in the first place - before Kailash decided to make an appearance. Well, for the most part. The pale haired page arrived late and as quietly as he could as he slipped through the doors with a frown.

He didn't know what he was even bothering, he had no intentions to interact - even though, it was probably something he couldn't escape given how company always liked to haunt him - and knowing the time he had gotten there he would have no idea what was even going on. Maybe it was all for the sake of it all, or something stupid like that. Either way, Kailash found himself a nice comfy corner, slid himself down the wall and sat and watched with a bored expression on his face.
