You were doing something mundane, some every day chore or activity, on a day like any other. Your thoughts were on your work, or on what you were going to do next, or the plans you had for the weekend. Nothing seemed wrong, on the surface, but then you got a feeling like you needed to be somewhere. It was hard to place where, just this nagging certainty that you're supposed to be doing something, somewhere that isn't here. It feels urgent. It feels... dangerous. Some may ignore the feeling, brushing it off as illogical. Others might recognize it as something that's happened before, but in a different flavor, a different... voice. Its a call, vague and formless saying; " Come. Help." --- Everyone who turns their attention to the call, whether they recognize it or not, will find themselves pulled to a new place. Only a handful of people may recognize the soft, green planet with its profusion of flowers and towering trees. Landing points are random, but are centered in and around what seems to be the largest of the trees in this gargantuan forest. Those who land outside will do so in thigh-deep grass dotted with unusual flowers of vibrant hues, the trees around them showing what looks like sweeping staircases and tall, arching windows grown or cut directly into their sides. The one directly before them has a pair of great double doors thrown open, and there are sounds of movement inside. Beside this building is a low wall surrounding what looks like an over grown and wild garden, though some of it was possibly cleaned up and planted at one point, but is now either gone wild too, or withered and dead from lack of watering. There is a wide hole dug by the wall, filled with muddy water, and in strange contrast the ancient feel of the place, there is a stack of camping supplies by the wall of the tower, the bulk of which is bottle water. Those who land inside the Tower will find themselves in rooms that look both familiar and not. They're obviously a living situation, but small and dominated by something that could have been a bed... but made out of wood and seemingly grown up out of the floor. There are chairs of the same sort and an alcove that might have been a washroom, back when people lived here. A tall set of arching windows lets in warm, gentle sunlight and reveals a view of a vast forest of tree trunks, all dotted with windows like these and sweeping stair cases. Flowers seem to bloom directly from the walls around the room and, if studied closely, actually give off a faint light from their petals that's hard to see in the bright sunshine. Any further investigation of the room will reveal mundane objects like you'd find anywhere people live. All of it seems made of wood or plant material, in graceful and rounded lines, and if any of it worked at one point, it doesn't now.

The whole place looks like something out of a Tolkein tale of Elvish cities, sunny and pastoral, but there is a faint sense of something... off about it. Its not something someone could visually pick out, but more something sensed. In fact, if focused on, someone might pick it out as an energy signature, and Chaos based as well. Not Negaverse or Dark Mirror for sure, but very vague and coming from virtually everywhere, making it impossible to place, though the greatest feel of it seems to be coming from inside the tower. Investigation will reveal that the Tower is broken up into floors. The first floor, reached through the front doors, is a lobby and social area, filled with graceful, comfortable furniture arranged in groups. Twin hallways on either side lead around back to service rooms and workshops, with things like the main kitchen and laundry located here. Most of the second floor is rooms, more or less the same as the ones people arrived in, but some are larger or smaller. Most likely they're rooms for sleeping or living in, though some of the shapes on the walls and things in cupboards seem to be... medical equipment? Unusable now, though, and almost unrecognizable from its Earth counterpart. There are large, sweeping stair cases that curl around the outside of the building connecting floors. The upper floors seem to be more long term living spaces and possibly meeting rooms. If anyone is actually ambitious enough to climb all the way to the top, it culminates in what looks like a penthouse suite of sorts, and above that, an open air observation deck shaded by a crown of leafy branches. The third floor is different though, and rather than having doors, it has large open archways into what seems to be a garden type area. Rather than many flowers, though, its filled with nothing but Orchids. Beds of them spread across the floor between curving paths speckled with benches and social areas, while bowls protrude from the walls overflowing with them. In the center of the room is a great pillar made up of six upward spiraling troughs, also filled with Orchids. they curve around a clear space in the center like a helix. Grown up out of the grass in the center of this is a strange domed shape made up of woven vines, the spaces between filled with a hardened resin material. The resin is cracked and pulling away from the vines, however, and the vines themselves seem to be discolored and dead... The chaotic energy feels strongest here, and wherever people go in the Tower or out, there is a feeling of being watched and flickers of something moving at the edges of their vision. There is nothing there when they look, but it happens more often than is probably comfortable. It might be a good idea to see who else got pulled here and group up, possibly even investigate the source of that chaotic energy signature.

~ OOC ~ You may enter or leave the rp at any time! If you didn't sign up before hand, you are still welcome to hear the call and be pulled to Ida. For those who will probably ask, the call won't be strong when you are with other non-powered people, for the sake of keeping people from suddenly disappearing before someone's eyes. If you want that somehow for plot reasons, you should PM the mule about it. If at any time you are done and feel like exiting, you character can think or express a desire to leave or stop fighting and be ejected back to wherever they were pulled from. Everyone will be ejected at the end of the event, whether they want to go or not. There will be a little time for people to post their arrivals and possibly some poking around before the fighting starts, but new arrivals are still welcome even after the monsters attack. Dice mechanics will be revealed at that time, and also added here for easy reference. Members of the Negavers and the Dark Mirror Court are welcome to participate, as the chaotic alien monsters are not youma or mirror wraiths and come from neither of their factions. However, its worth noting that if anyone of any faction attacks someone who is not a Blight monster, the planet will eject them immediately. You are welcome to play this out, if it appeals to you, but there will be no way back to Ida to help fight the Blight. You may chose where to arrive, either inside on the second floor, or outside the Tower, but still near by. You may arrive near someone else, if you wish, and there can be multiple people in one room if you want. You are welcome to explore and poke around at stuff, but its all pretty boring old artifacts with mundane uses. Feel free to make up anything that fits the setting, but no one should be finding anything extraordinary and rooms with complex equipment or uses are locked or blocked off. Everyone will be able to feel the most concentrated energy from the third floor, but its not necessary for everyone to go there. Monsters will come to the characters and killing them is the main purpose of this rp. For ease of telling where people are, please put your character name and a floor/location at the top of your post.IE: Sailor Ida - 3rd Floor Knight Hvergelmir was already here when the call went out and is in a special room on the fourth floor, where there is a small tree in a terrarium type pillar, and bubbles of amber resin in the walls. ---
The Battle Has Begun! In front of each character is a vague copy of themselves, formed of that oily black goop that had come oozing out of the crevices of the world. Its gathered together in response to each person's power level, making them more or less an equal threat to everyone. Now its time to break out the dice! Each monster has 60 hit points of health.Each time you attack, roll a 20 sided dice to determine how much damage you do. This means, at best, you can destroy one of these things in three posts. If you have magic that does AoE damage, you are allowed to specify which monsters around you take the damage you rolled. This does not work with defensive magic, it has to be offensive. Each monster takes the full damage you rolled, you don't have to spread it out between them. If anyone rolls below 10 at any point, you may add +5 to that character's next roll. Ida is sending you a surge of energy to bolster you in this fight. If you roll a 5 or less: You take physical damage from the monster. A 5 is light damage, maybe a scratch or bruise, scaling down to a 1, which is a bad wound. This mechanic is optional, and is included for fun. If you want more damage, by all means take it! If you want less damage because it would interfere with plots, that's fine too. When a monster runs out of HP, they run out of the energy they've stolen from the living planet and turn into a grainy stone that crumbles at the slightest touch. At that point, you are free to help out those who are still fighting, continue exploring, or return home as you please. The battle is over once all the monsters have been killed. The Blight in solid form feels like rubber or thick silicone when struck. Its solid, but has some give. Cutting it leaves a gaping slice, but no blood. The monsters are able to change their form slightly, gaining razor edged fingers or forming their limbs into heavy clubs. They're a bit ungainly and uncoordinated, so they can be dodged, but getting hit hurts. It is not too late for newcomers to join in! Feel free to arrive in the middle of the chaos. Your character will be targeted by a Blight monster and you may roll to fight.

Sailor Caia had no idea what he was doing here, or how he’d gotten here. One minute he was on patrol, and the next he’d thought he’d heard someone shout for help so he’d turned to head towards them--and the next moment he was here, surrounded by tall grass and strange trees.
His first thought was that he was having some sort of acid trip, only--he hadn’t taken any drugs. That he knew about, at least. But he had people at home who would have been furious if they’d even suspected he’d taken anything so all concerns about where he was and how he’d arrived were momentarily lost in a panic as Caia scrambled to think about when he could have been drugged and how he was going to explain it.
He must have had an absolutely stunned expression on his face; he had never been off of Earth, and while being awakened by a talking cat was certainly the strangest thing that had happened to him before, outright appearing in a strange, unfamiliar environment was giving it a run for its money.
Caia reached up and scrubbed at his face, as if doing so would suddenly clear his vision and grant him understanding of what was going on--or something--if he could just process what was going on. Because, either he was having a very realistic hallucination, had been slipped drugs, or was really just not in Destiny City anymore.
The Basic Senshi was obviously out of place and a bit dazed; he took one step forward through the grass, struggling through it’s long tangles even with his long legs. Which resulted immediately in his foot becoming ensnared, which then resulted in him immediately falling face-first into the tall grass.
While ultimately an unpleasant experience, it at least solved the problem of if this was real or not.Quote: Caia is open for any interaction!

]bSuper Sailor Elpis had, well, been home sleeping. The feeling of a plea had woken her up by interrupting a rather nice dream involving a few trickerdsand other things, and she'd powered uo, and followed the plea. It was the feeling of being pulled spaceward that left the senshi entirely leery. She wasn't fond of leaving Earth still-- in fact she only poked her homeworld fro, curiousity - but here she was, in what seemed to amount to Rivendell pf all places, in thich high grass, and she made a face. "God damnit Elrond." She grumbled. She sighedm rubbing her face tiredly before movement in the grass put Elpis in fight or flight mode, only a moment, before wirey, familiar fur and pink eyes jumped to latch to her side. "Good job Miss Kitty." Elpis drawled, collecting her guardian in her arms before moving her to her shoulder with a sigh. The mauvian huffed, moving onto a single shoulder to perch, eyes narrowinhg into a look either wise, or judging. "Yes, yes. You need to pay more attention -- but I prtesume mew felt called too?" The Mauvian drawled. Elpis nodded, and Miss Kitty nodded. "Alright. Let's start looking for what we can find. And what is wrong with Lord of the Rings?" One paw, claws velveted, bat the woman irritably, Elpis cackling as she began exploring. Deeper in, away from senshu and mauvian, Cordoba arrived without much fuss. She'd just come off work, but a pull was a pull, and being somewhere not Earth or Mercury was a pleasant surprise, the page walking towards the large tree curiously. It felt like a plea, and Cordoba looked around cautiously. 'Calls', she quicjly learned, meant others afot, and the page began to search carefully, frownubg slightly as she looked and felt for signs of other Order members. Quote: Elpis and Miss Kitty are further out, moving in and topen to surprise pokes and interaction to both sides! (Elpis won't attack, Kitty might hiss hiss pouff). Cordoba is closer to the tower and open to finding anyone!

He half thought it was Lena for a moment, when he heard that call for help, then... no... realized it was more like The Code. Or... worse... maybe like Mistral. That insistent and desperate sort of tug, which, dammit, he found nearly impossible to consider ignoring, even when he was still relatively fresh off having his ankle operated on to make sure broken bones were set the way they should. On the plus side, unlike Mistral it hadn't stripped him of the cast the way it had taken away his sling... downside... there was something impressively ridiculous about discovering the desperate way magical powerups did their best to strap the shin armor over his cast, and being a Mars Knight on crutches... Well that just looked about an eighth as intimidating as he would prefer to be, standing here looking at an old, time damaged tower with something making the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. Other auras here too, he could sense them appearing, but the one that had his attention was that crawling sense of something wrong. "Well this is just great..." He shivered, a bit. Not because it was cold, but last time he'd been summoned someplace that wasn't Olympus, he'd also been injured, and people had died. In quantity. Horribly.

She didn't understand it, not fully, but she felt something calling out to her and asking for help. She didn't know what it was but it reminded her of the code, when it had called her. Not one to turn up the chance of a possible adventure, or something else that would get ones adrenaline going, the page of Castor had no problem in accepting the calling and vanishing from her apartment.
She had been just coming home from indoor rock climbing, with plans to perhaps go out to a club downtown, when the call had come in. At least she was freshly showered - like her hair was still damp.
When she turned up, in that annoying dress of hers, her hair clinging to the sides of her face in wet white strands she page took a few moments to adjust to this whole vanishing and reappearing thing. It was still disorienting for her but once settled she took the time to look around....and what a sight.
This was...amazing but she also knew, in the back of her mind, that a place like this would bore her to death after too long. It was pretty to look at, very pretty, but not so exciting. Standing around looking toward a large towering...tree. "This isn't Olympus..." And she was lost but there were other signatures, a lot of them, hopefully she wouldn't be lost for long. She wanted to get to helping whatever needed help!
"Where is here..." She whispered to herself, brushing her wet hair from her face.

Answering the call when it came was done without much thought by Chaldene, he'd already been out patrolling, as he knew that if a call was being put out for help it was serious. Something was going on and the call needed to be answered, but how many would? With that being unknown he knew he had to at least assure that someone would be there - him. Not to mention he had wings on his back now which meant he needed to do more - be more. It was a whole responsibility thing, as much as he didn't like it.
Used to traveling from Destiny City to space it wasn't too harsh of an arrival for Chaldene, he really should get back to visiting his own planet, and moments after arrival he was looking around. "Looks like something from a fantasy novel." Or a movie, like Lord of the Rings or maybe something you'd see in Game of Thrones if it had elves and more magic than it already did...as if Dragon's, seers, and red priestesses and priests weren't enough magic.
"Ok...so where the hell am I?" Questioning no one as he stood in the tall grass looking around at the massive trees. Green eyes looking around while he toyed with one of his lip piercings. He really didn't like being on his own in a strange place, though he could sense the other auras turning up.
"Tree city....like Dragon Lance..." He whispered to himself, well wasn't this lovely. Hopefully no crystal staffs and epic adventures awaited those who had arrived here.Quote: Open for interactions, pls.

A call for help, a call of any kind, was not something to be ignored and it wasn't ignored by Seung. Seung had heard the call while he'd been sitting in his room working on his homework, he had two papers due plus some out of text book work to do. He had his fair share of homework to do and since he had no classes today he was taking advantage of the time to do it, he'd even worked a few short hours in the morning.
When he arrived he was glad to see the place wasn't as bright as Olympus, which was where he expected he'd be arriving, and it was lush with trees and high grass - really high. This wasn't like Ganymede nor was it like Mars....he almost liked it here in a soothing sort of way. He could imagine it raining here and just falling asleep listening to it, maybe somewhere with a nice view, or wandering around in the rain.
He knew though that despite that the call of a city and the hustle and bustle would keep him from ever wanting to live in a place like this...would dampen it's appeal a bit. But for now it was nice...aside from what he felt..something was off but he couldn't place it. Tilting his head he let his dark eyes drift closed as he tried to focus on it...tried to do what he couldn't and sense what was beyond his power level. He wished he could be stronger...could sense and do more.
How big a help would he be? He was just a page. But...he wasn't alone. There were others and that he knew - and felt. Together something could be done, once they found out what they had been called for.
It was toward the big tree that he made his way, pushing the grass out of his way as he walked.

Caia shot up only a few feet from Kairatos, head barely poking above the grass at first. It took him a long moment to get settled on his feet, and even then he wasn't very graceful about doing it. He took few seconds to adjust himself before he spotted the knight. His eyes opened wider as he processed the this was another living person here--and a Knight, so probably a good guy.
"Oh!" he blurted. "Oh, hello! I have no idea who you are, but I'm Sailor Caia, and I'm so happy to see you."
It didn't matter if there were other energy signatures in the area--this one was closest, and at his rank he must have known what was going on.
"...Do you have any idea what we're doing here? --Or how we got here?"

There had been very little time between when she had heard what sounded like someone asking for help, blinking, and finding herself landing on her behind on the ground. "Ow! What the heck?" Meteora winced as she blinked, trying to take in the shock value of being in some place knew faster than her mind could process. Green eyes scanned around as the page hiked up her dress to make it easier to stand. "Kai?" Her voice went from annoyed to shocked. The Mars knight was standing there, with crutches, on a ground that clearly his doctor would have been POed about him being on. Other dress hike and she was moving towards him, catching the eye of another male heading their way. It still didn't stop her from going into protective overdrive. "Kai! Are you okay to be standing?" As much as being on crutches was standing.

The urge to jokingly respond to Meteora with "Yes Mom", was strong enough he actually opened his mouth to do so when he heard her concerned voice, but he shut it again for a moment and behaved. "Caia." He decided on greeting the senshi instead. "Kairatos, Knight of Mars... and..." He nodded to Meteora as she approached. "Meteora, Page of Cosmos. We uh, got summoned. You felt the call for help I assume?" It couldn't be the boys world, or he didn't think he'd be so confused. "Haven't been here before but I assume we're here to find and fix a problem, but I don't know where we are or what it is, so be careful. Hi Met..." He added, clearing his throat, and feeling a bit guilty for having gotten caught up when she was arguably justifiably concerned. "I'm good, I'm not putting weight on it I was just..." Going berserk even looking at a wheelchair, which, while arguably more mobile in some ways, he was damn glad he hadn't been in when he ended up here. He could just see getting stuck in the damn grass. "See? I'm fine."

Tomlin, Guardian Cat – OutsideTomlin woke from troubled dreams with the sense that leaving right now would be a good idea. The ginger tabby guardian uncurled from his nest of boxes, fight-or-flight instincts firing, ears pricked in sleepy search for threats but finding nothing. Nothing unusual stirred in the alley, nor could he sense any dark auras in the vicinity. Still the feeling remained, worrying at his consciousness, a call just out of hearing. The threat was further away. The need was urgent. He didn’t need to know more than that. “I’m coming,” he assured the unseen caller. In the space between breaths, space and distance rearranged themselves, extracting him from the dingy shadows of the familiar alleyway and pulling him to where he was needed. Where that was, however, was difficult to see for a feline of his stature. A vast jungle of tall thin grasses stretched before him in every direction, double if not triple his height. He couldn’t see anything besides the arc of sky directly above, and the occasional swaying flower. He snapped gently at one, but it only tasted of plant. Not entirely a welcome setting for the alley-cat. Tomlin could suddenly see the appeal of the high-energy human form he’d seen his fellow guardians adopt. It might be a trick worth learning after all. A flicker of movement on his peripheral attracted his attention, and he froze, crouching low. Or maybe it was best to go small and unseen. There was something wrong here, though he couldn’t place the feeling. Unless the grass itself was hostile – and Tomlin wouldn’t be surprised if it was. Like the call, it seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere at once. He would need to find something to climb for better surveillance, or possibly some one to climb – there were powered auras not too far away. Senshi and Knights, if he wasn’t mistaken. With no better way to navigate the grasslands, he began to stalk cautiously towards the nearest friendly signature. Quote: Responses will be slow but Tomlin's open for interaction.

Tian Guan, Super Senshi of Masks - Outside, near the entrance Tian didn't really understand what was happening, but she was somewhere. She was sure she was out in space, just unsure of where exactly. One minute she was in her room studying, the next minute here. There had been a strange feeling and a desire to go towards it... Was that what brought her here?
"Hello?" It announced her location to what else might be there, but at least she was powered up and ready to defend herself if necessary. Plus, if she felt the call, it was possible others had well. To her, it felt like the Surrounding all over again.
Tian had no issue with space at this point, but was wondering where she as. She admired the plants, but couldn't help but feel something bad around her. Hopefully, no one was in trouble. Yet. Quote: She's open for interactions!~ ----------------------------------------------------------------- Meru, Page of Cosmos - Outside, a ways away from the tower Meru had been headed home after a couple hours of wandering. She had been learning better to dodge odd energy signatures and was getting better at avoiding ones she didn't want to be near. At least, that's what she thought. Something was calling out to her and she had run towards it. In the blink of an eye, she was elsewhere, running through what looked like a forest.
"Wait... What?" The call led to her being somewhere else, seemingly surrounded by negative energy. She had just been getting better. How did everything get so much worse. Meru found herself lost in a forest and... She had wanted to flip out until she realized there were other nice feeling people around, and she made her way towards it.
When she approached the group, she noticed one of them had stars on their clothing. Meru called out as she got closer. "Oh! You must be a knight of Cosmos!" It was hard not to recognize others that were like her, but she didn't know why. "Do you know how we ended up here?"
Meru had been distracted and didn't notice that there were two others with the knight. She knew one was a Senshi and the other a knight, but she couldn't tell from where since she hadn't met too many.
"Sorry, for interrupting. Meru, Page of Cosmos."(( Sorry xD I hope this is okay >.< ))
