Welcome to Gaia! ::

Izzy DeLuna

”What the flying fuuuuuuuck.” A rather agitated teen groaned into the ground where he landed face down. Something something about hands on his legs, dragging him into the darkness.

All he wanted to do was to get a costume all on his own for once! Okay, not on his own, but with his older brother, who had the pocket change to spare when it came to fancy costumes.

Nope. None of that was going to happen now that they were separated and they were trapped in this weird dark bullshit place. At least, he assumed Anxo was here too. They had been separated but it would take a lot to knock the socks off Anxo, that was for sure!

Izzy... Maybe a little less, but he was no push over either! The moment he got himself together, he peeled himself off the ground and started to head towards where he saw other glowy dots in the distance. And maybe he was cursing under his breath a little.

Damned Destiny City and this freaky a** s**t that always went down!

Guardian Cat Brioche

Somehow during the late evening hours, Brioche had been taken by the darkness. He had been sleeping in a little kiddie parks after everyone had left when a pair of weird hands picked him up gently and taken him from where he nested.

He found himself woken from his deep slumber by the sound of someone screaming. And someone near stepping on him.

“Mrow...?” He asked with a yawn, stretching. It seemed as if when he gained consciousness, he began to glow, and looked up at the knees of someone who happened to bump into him.

“Miss are you okay? Why are you shouting?” The fact that he was surrounded on all sides by darkness and the fact that they were weirdly glowing didn’t seem to register in his head right away. “I mean, mrow, I’m a normal cat, it’s fine, it’s fine... But really, are you alright?”

Landry Croix

The night had given no sign of going horribly when he was picked up by Gryphon. He never trusted the darkness. Bad things always seemed to happen when the darkness took over a room... But Gryphon insisted that the night wasn’t so frightening, that the park in particular wasn’t scary, and that a late cruise through it would be fine.

Of course the park wasn’t scary. It was plenty bright, and most nights the scariest thing there would be someone like Landry powered up and stealing souls.

And Gryphon was right, it was pleasant walking hand and hand, sneaking small kisses when he felt that there wasn’t anyone watching. Not that he was ashamed of him, but more shy, uncomfortable with any sort of public displays of affection.

But sometimes, Gryph went too far. A hand groping in the wrong place earned a jump, and words of anger were right on Landry’s tongue when something far darker seemed to snatch his ankles and pull him from the other man’s arms.

When he opened his eyes next, a breath caught in his throat. Darkness. That harsh, echoing darkness that surrounded him in all directions and made every sound he heard louder and louder in his ears.

And for a moment, he stood there, terrified. No words managed to leave his throat... There was no warm, large man by his side anymore, and he was alone.

It wasn’t until something in the distance began to glow that he managed to pull a semblance of that normal, cold self of his together. Who knew what it was out there, but it was light, and he made his way straight towards it, determined to shrug off this darkness that surrounded him one way or another.

While he worried for Gryphon, he knew the man could take care of himself. This didn’t feel like the Negaverse’s doing after all.

Sailor Polyhymnia - Senshi of Ballads


Polyhymnia certainly hadn't thought that she would run into a cat, let alone a talking one -- but rather than looking more freaked out, she seemed rather relieved, almost immediately scooping up the feline into her arms and standing, supporting him so he wouldn't be uncomfortable.

"I already know what's up, can you not tell I'm a uh. Person thing?" She might or might not have trouble actually saying the word 'senshi' just yet. "I know about kittyfriends, kitties that talk. So yes, you're a perfectly normal talking cat, I'm sure, but where are we, why were you where I was walking? I can't see anything around me...? I'm uh, Polyhymnia. Or -- or just Nia. That's a lot easier to say, who are you?"

Guardian Cat Brioche

While he was surprised at the sudden arms scooping him up, Brioche seemed quite content with this. The young miss seemed to be nervous about the darkness, and who was he to tell her to calm down?

“Person thing? You mean a senshi? Why yes, yes you are. And You’re right, I am a kitty thing. A sleeping normal cat who somehow ended up here. I dunno, I woke up when I felt you touch my tail.” It was long and fluffy and luxurious, no wonder she wanted to touch it.

“Hello Nia. I’m Brioche. I was just sleeping, honest. Are we not in the park?” A quick glance around seemed to confirm that. “Ah, I suppose not. No matter! Weird things always happen like this in the city, I’m sure we’ll be just fine!”

Page Sumner

It had just been another night out, one where he was starting to miss the warm summer nights already. It had gotten cold so quickly. Was it the weather changing? Usually October stayed warm until the middle or at least until Halloween, but this time it was much colder than he was used to.

He didn't know how to feel about that.

Still, he had done his duty of "patrolling" and luckily his outfit, while no looking very warm kept him warm enough. Still, he would run whenever he could just to make sure that he wasn't getting too cold in case his outfit decided it would stop being warm at some point.

It didn't help with the shadows though. As he had been patrolling, he had noticed over the past few days that shadows were acting... weird. He had never felt anything like them before, but he could have sworn that he was getting stuck in some of them. And then sometimes when he stepped into one he appeared somewhere else and wondered if it was his mind playing tricks on him or if it was this Negaverse that he had been told about.

Then, it all came to a head. This latest night of patrolling it was even worse, and the next time he had even gotten near a shadow, not touched it since he had learned to avoid them, he had been... well he wasn't sure. Was this a "shadow" dimension? There were bright lights, and what looked like other people here, but almost everything was black. It was chilling. He had started to walk over to see what was going on, but had to slow his pace when he kept bumping his knees into... something. They looked like some sort of blocks but at least he figured out that they didn't just seem to be trapped in some shadow realm of their world.

Captain Lopezite

It was supposed to be a typical night; Lopezite had been talking to Alpersite about quotas, their goal was to the evening, and then in the blink of an eye they'd been separated. They'd walked under the same shadow, and he could have sworn he saw the dark hands that gripped Alpersite and dragged him in the opposite direction.

Lopezite was hurled backwards, but he managed--just barely--to scramble closer to the Alpersite before the shadows swallowed them.

Darkness enveloped him; it was not the first time he'd been subjected to the oddities of the darkness within the city.

It was the first time he'd been taken out of the city.

When he began to faintly glow, there was no comfort, no solace--not even when he began to see other figures in the distance slowly forming.

Right now, he only cared about one: "Alpersite!" he called shamelessly, squinting and trying to make out of any of the nearby shapes seemed to resemble him. The energy signatures all seemed warped, blended together in such a way that he couldn't tell who was where--but that might have just been a trick of his mind as he tried to sort out his radar.
