Release was such a wonderful thing, to be freed of a cage that knew nothing but darkness and emptiness. The creature was aware, there was something that called to it, beckoned to it. Destruction, it craved. But for destruction, it would need others darkness. It couldn’t escape that, it knew, but it could use it. It would use it. The freedom to do so was now. The wraith, large with a form that most weren’t suppose to see but black as the shadows that dripped from its body flew from trees and the sky. It perched itself on the top of empty building, in the remains of Destiny city outskirts where it held its arms out. Darkness swirled from everywhere, around it and through it and on the ground where it stained broken stone and steel with thick inky blobs. Anyone nearby would feel drained...negative, tired but...even worst, the shadow blob moved like oil in water, echoed the sounds of despair and even more. The oil was spreading, latching on to anyone it touched, leaving its stains in it's trail. The wraith in the middle grew and grew until its form was more complete, thick blobs of darkness dripped from it, to the ground, the ever shifting shape of its face that never was anything more then bubbling ooze. It’s power was at the beginning of its peak and its darkness called to all to come and fight it. Come and see it. Come and be it.
gaia_nitemareleftWELCOME TO THE WAREHOUSE. gaia_nitemareright
gaia_crownSetting: Warehouse, Residential outskirts about 5 miles from suburbs of Destiny city.
This warehouse is a 5 story building of various states of decay, though mostly standing, it has holes in floors that reach all the way to the ceiling. Black oozes of chaos drip from the floors and the ceilings like rain. They feel like thick oil and are hard to rub away.
gaia_crownTime: The wraith landed on the upper part of the warehouse at about 8pm and it’s thick oil darkness has spread over the building, oozing but not quite engulfing the building. The darkness has not effected the lights of the streets nor the abandoned ones from construction structures.
Welcome to the Residental Warehouse. Your opponent will be Grand Wraith.There is a few mechanics to follow for this fight, so please be sure to read through everything!
gaia_nitemareleftHP: 400/400 gaia_nitemareright Damage: -5 HP auto attack ( Madness: +5 Auto Madness for each attack (Aka every time you attack you get auto -5 Damage, +5 Madness for a max of 10 Damage and 10 Madness) Turns until special attack: 0/3 (There will be three Gm post for this fight, and they progressively add to the Madness until special attack) Healing: +10 HP each GM post

gaia_nitemareleftMadness prompts: gaia_nitemareright Madness is the oil blobs that has overrun the warehouse. When they land on the skin, it leaves a icy hot sting. The oil smells of a slight decay of earth and stone.
BONUS: Nega general characters can reach a level of 40 chaos but cannot reach anymore. They can purge a character of madness by absorbing all of their chaos through energy draining (Both characters must be willing for this). Doing so will shoot them immediately to 100 madness.
DMC: You may purge one character (or yourself) of madness by using a mirrorshard to absorb their(your) madness, however the mirror shard must be destroyed immediately.
Quote:
gaia_star1-20: At this level, you hear the brief negative thoughts around you. It could sound like a stranger's voice, or it could be a teammate next to you. The thoughts are short, and easy to brush off. (You only have to respond to this prompt once)
gaia_star20-40: Your body has a slight tinge of nausea, voices are a bit louder and a little more insistent. They reach out to your anxiety, and say all the things you don’t want to hear. The oil reaches around your ankles, you feel sluggish. (you only have to respond to this prompt once)
gaia_star40-60: The oil circles you and engulfs you, You experience a negative memory from the warehouse, not of you, but of a stranger’s point of view. This can be anything, from a breakup, to loss of money to an attack from a chaos/order agent. The memory feels like it has happened to yourself. (You may solo this, write it in thread OR rp it with another character. Please remember gaia TOS and if you feel you want to delve deeper to give WARNING TAGS)
gaia_star60-80: You are sinking in oil now, it enters through your mouth, through your ears. There is something slithering inside you now, it feels like its in your body, it blacks you out. There is darkness and then there is mirrors, mirrors everywhere. There is a girl with white hair, a box in her hands. She lifts the lid of it with one, something oozing out of it slowly. You tell her not to, but she does and what comes from it, is your pandora, your secret. (This can be soloed, or rp’d with others. In this state, your attack now does half the damage it normally would. Spells cannot be cast.)
gaia_star80-100: Your body is burned by chaos, there is visible remains of the oil. It seeps into your bloodstream (or so it feels), you feel like you are being consumed. It feels like something is watching you. It makes a slithering sound in your head, it whispers of all your darkness, it drowns out any reason. You are weighed down. Everything is a enemy. (In this stage, your character is fully MAD. They will attack anything they see. Roll a 20 sided dice, if 1-15, your next attack will hit the person above your current post. If 16-20, your next attack will hit the boss for DOUBLE the damage.) ((Bonus: If you so choose, The oil has left either temporary or permanent burns from chaos. After the battle, your character will suffer from excessively negative thoughts, as well as small lingering voices, This chaos can be purged by energy drains over time, focusing energy into a starseed or going to negaspace))

The slow drip of the building's black bile upon the grounds surrounding it came as subtle surprise, however. Never before had Faustite witnessed a building leak such a darkened material that matched old motor oil. And while he stood with good distance from it, his inquisitive gaze informed him of a slow spread of the various pools. He knew not what produced such ill tidings, or if it related at all to the immense power that claimed home at the top. Faustite only assumed so; he considered it unlikely that these two events could stand so unrelated.
He watched a young man scamper toward the bottom entrance of the warehouse and slip within its depths, equally stark and dark as the pools that collected about the place. Through one broken window, Faustite made note of the wreckage within - years of disuse left holes opening up in floors and paint peeling where building management would have kept up maintenance. Pursing his lips, he looked to the roof of the structure with consternation. How would anyone expect to get up there through such a dilapidated bilding? Unless they each possessed teleporation, Faustite imagined that the source of the auric energy could linger there through all the night.
So Faustite waited and watched for how others might tackle the logistics of the situation.
Morpheus slacked considerably in his duties toward the Mirror Court beyond necessary draining quotas. Typically he avoided confrontation with others like he avoided responsibility. Lately, he powered up seldom once he finished a quota until the next round of draining energy became a necessity - a tithe for access to such powers. And, he supposed, he could quit altogether if he wanted to and face no backlash but for Cassiopeia coming down on his a** for it. But she hadn't been by too often, either.
Morpheus even considered abandoning the court that very day, as he felt disconnected from their cause and unrelated to the war. The whole war never really felt like a war, either, given how he was seldom attacked by either the Negaverse or the White Moon. A handful never even heard of the Mirror Court, which suggested the minuscule size of their family to Morpheus with painful detail.
And, really, his powers were kinda dumb. He considered all such matters that night as he passed over rooftops in search of home. He continued for a time in silence until he felt the sudden weight of an aura - vast and thick, choking and iniquitous. The aura felt far different than any encounter he ever had, and expanded far beyond the bounds of even the eternals that he met in his days. Fear gripped him thusly, and with trepidation (and a little resentment for his court), Morpheus crossed the lengthy, empty streets in pursuit of this new blackness. As he broached the industrial district and approached, his legs urged him to back out. With a deep sigh, Morpheus entered the lower levels of the warehouse and planned to work his way up as slowly as possible.
Anyone can interact with Faustite or Morpheus! Faustite is outside while Morpheus is on the first floor. Neither are attacking.

Dark kitty Katya
It was not something she had planned, traveling this far outside of the city, and yet here Katya was. Standing out in the darkness with her little pink hat and beaming green eyes. She had found her way here by a series of rather...interesting events. Being chased by a youma had started off her night, it wasn't her fault that youma didn't understand that she was on their side! Those monsters lacked in understanding, which she knew, she had not expected one to enter the city so close to her. She hadn't had time to do anything but run...and so she had.
She had managed to avoid it but that hadn't been the end of her night, she wished it had been though. She had been sitting in front of a store window adjusting her hat with her little paws when someone walking by her had decided it was a good idea to pick her up! She had tried to claw at them, even going as far as hissing and yowling at them, but that hadn't deterred the person who had decided to give the cute cat a home and get her out of the rain...her owners must not care for her after all - and they would do a better job of it. As if they could do better than cooking her fresh meals...pathetic.
The house had smelled of other cats even as they had approached their front door. It was while they'd been going for their keys that she had struck and gotten dropped to the ground where she proceeded to run off - again.
The last part of her evening was her trailing after someone with an amazing set of accessories on. The woman had been seen by her while wandering, putting distance between herself and the person who wanted to make her some domesticated house kitty, and the moment her eyes had landed on the tall, slender, woman and what she was wearing Katya had been hooked.
She had raced across the street, a good thing no cars were in the area, and headed toward the cat the woman was climbing into. She wished, for a moment, she could have yelled out but she knew better....and thus she had missed it. She had taken to trying to follow the car as it moved slowly through traffic but had lost sight of it...and lost herself. While being lost she had picked up on the aura which brought her here and gazing around.
"Well, this doesn't feel good." Although...she wasn't the first one here either - how curious and perhaps good for her.

Prince Remarque
Remarque didn’t like not knowing what something was. He had been around for long enough that new things usually meant bad things were about to happen—and it was best to deal with them sooner rather than later.
Originally his evening had started in Mirrorspace; he had taken Laverna with him to get her accustomed to the strangeness of it—and keep him company while they explored. It had been an uneventful night so far; Mirrorspace was the same as always: unpredictable and unyielding. It had almost seemed like it was a good time to say goodnight and head home when they’d felt that. That strange, twisted pull.
There were other signatures in the area, from factions he recognized. He approached with Laverna, arriving just shortly after the Mauvian. “Katya,” he greeted. “I haven’t seen you in some time.” He gestured to the Dark Mirror Senshi behind him. “This is Laverna. Laverna, Katya.”
He kept the introduction quick; they had more important things to focus on. He nodded towards the warehouse and grimaced at its appearance. “…I don’t suppose you know anything about this?”
Titanite: 55/60 Stage: Captain / Second Madness: 5/100 Attack: 1d10 - 1 DAMAGE Boss HP: 399/400 Spell: 2/2 Attack
The best part about being a free agent, of sorts, was that opportunities were always there for someone to be someplace that they should not be. Someplace that they might later regret being- or someplace that she would '10 out of 10' be again. As Titan approached a warehouse, called by the lure of that looks like danger, Will Robinson, her lips pursed, considering the oil and the shadows that flooded the area.
It looked like a boss from a video game.
Turquoise eyes narrowed, mouth tilting firmly downwards as she considered her options. It was Chaos, which she was supposed to support (go chaos, hooray) but this was definitely not something that could be allowed to roll unchecked. Left alone, she thought that perhaps the oil would find its way to the civilians. and that-- that would be bad.
The Negaverse relied on those people for reasons, and whatever this was, it felt wrong to leave them to it.
So she decided to get closer, and take a swing. Other people were responsible talkers- Titanite was a creature of action.
A thoughtless creature.

Eternal Dark Mirror Senshi Avior
Years and years had passed by (two to be specific) had passed since Avior had felt the comforting aura of his other Dark Mirror Senshi. Every so often when he was out and about his adventures he'd quietly sneak into mirror space, finding the quiet yet restlessness that he observed there reminiscent to his own hazy mind. For two years he'd come and go from that space, wondering how his distance from the others in Destiny City would affect his familiarity with the ever shifting spaces.
In the end, he found nothing, and returned to the city so that he may once again rejoin the search for a way off of Earth, to find a place that he could truly call home.
On this night, he had powered up and stepped through the mirrors in his apartment to come out in a place that felt so very odd and out of place. Avior had not known his destination when he stepped out of that mirror but it felt that he needed to be there.
He was not wrong, for just on the edge of his mind's reach he could feel power that felt familiar and comforting, strong and pulsing in a way that he longed to be with once more. And so he headed towards it, heart thudding with excitement and anticipation to see just what it was. Upon his arrival Avior came face to face with that power he so eagerly sought out, and he found himself freezing. The other two whom were there were entirely unfamiliar to him, but not the prince. No, the Prince was still forever fresh in his mind from that day all those years ago.
"Prince Remarque..." He said breathlessly, though his heart truly thought that he had been forgotten. After all, they had met only a few sparse times before his mind could not bear being in Destiny City any more. For just a moment he gazed at the prince, then looked to the Mauvian and the other senshi who had been among them and bowed towards them. "And Friends. Were you all drawn by this... Monstrous Aura as well?"
Still new to sensing signatures, even a novice such as herself couldn't miss the heavy chaotic energy. Curiosity dragged her to the location and into the building that, quite literally, oozed with the energy. Violane wrinkled her nose at the oil-like substance dripping from all points. It was disgusting and she found herself trying to avoid the ooze out of the pure distaste of being covered in it, never mind whatever effects it may cause.
Purple eyes watched the drips carefully as she moved through the lower level. A few openings here and there, those that would normally let moonlight though, were gunked up and looked slick from the substance. Maybe she would be better off just letting someone else scale the building to find the source. After all, it was chaos right? Maybe it could be useful to them in some way. Hell, perhaps it was something set up by another agent.
Splat.
Violane cringed as she felt the ooze land on her right shoulder. "Ugh. Really? Damn s**t is nasty." With her stuffed paw, she wiped at the thick substance. Finally her weapon was useful for something! But, she found that it was hard to remove from her uniform and eventually gave up with a angry huff. "******** t his, already."
Maybe she should have just stayed outside, or better yet, not have bothered to come at all. It wasn't like it affected her at all way out here.
Sailor Hydrus: 45/50 Stage: Basic Madness: 5/100 Attack: 2 DAMAGE OH MAN Boss HP: 397/400 Spell: 1/1 Attack
He was once again, entirely new to this. He steps through a mirror, he comes out with more layers than before, and then suddenly there's another monster on the loose and in the middle of all of this, Mintaka is no where to be found. He'd found it odd she'd been missing from his rebirth, but it had been a couple weeks now, and still nothing. It would be remiss to say that Hydrus was concerned.
He was down right worried.
And now... he was facing a wraith that was far more powerful than he'd ever seen, and it was oily. And on the top of a building. Hydrus chucked a rock up at the thing, to very minor effectiveness.
He really wasn't good at this sort of thing, no wonder Mintaka abandoned him...
The newly minted Dark Mirror senshi snorted air out of his nose and folded his arms in his too many sleeves.

General Aurostibite
The wraith was enormous. Aurostibite could feel the blackness seeping through, the heady rush of Chaos, the violent sense of greed and need as it seeped thickly across the floor, dragging oil in its wake. Aurostibite stared at it through narrowed eyes, the brim of his hat pushed up so that he could see it a little better. All around it people had begun to gather, drawn by the pulsing energy signature that was so thick it was almost a tangible thing, Aurostibite's teeth gritting together.
The blades were already summoned, gloved fingers flexing against the handles. Aurostibite lunged forward, swinging, first one, and then the other, his chest feeling tight; thoughts of Mintaka - where are you, are you safe, are you hurt, please be safe - kept running through his head repeatedly, but he tamped down on the emotions, held them in check.
Fighting had to be neutral, not emotionally driven, after all, but the ache of worry was still there.

DMS Laverna
There was a pleasure and a honor that came with being able to escort their Prince into the depths of Mirrorspace. His call was something Laverna could never turned away as it continued to open a new world to her. A world where things weren't always as they appeared.
Mirrorspace was an adventure. One that could change with so much as a sneeze! And it was a world no one else could access but them. That alone was enough to make the young woman giddy.
But the change in Prince Remarque's face when they had returned from their adventure made her twisted smile fade. Without question she had followed him. With out concern for her own safety, she had stepped slightly forward when the came to the warehouse. He was her Prince. She would do anything for him...
Including pick up the cat that had just been introduced to her and throw it at whatever the source of this...pull was. If it wasn't nailed down, it was amno!
The voice of another caused her to jerk a gaze at the male who appeared. Laverna felt her eyes narrow as her head leaned to the side. "Monstrous Aura?" There was a tone in her voice...something not as serious as the situation may have been. "Oh is that what we are doing here? I thought we were having a BBQ." Words were laced with sarcasm but with a bow of her head, she gave just as much respect as she did play. "Laverna. A pleasure to meet another of the family."
Those words she meant.
Gazing back at Remaque, she held his face for a long moment then looked towards the building as two...no three others dove head first into the cause of such a mess. "Shall we join them My Prince? I would hate to return you home late for dinner...though I'm sure we can find something just as tasty ourselves."
The sudden arrival of Remarque, and the subsequent, greeting had Katya's attention as the mauvian let as much of a smile as she could manage twist her features. "It has been a long time, something we should all change." Herself, Remarque and Benitoite she meant of course. "Laverna...a new one of yours." She said smiling and bowing her head once to the newly introduced dark mirror senshi. "What a lovely senshi." Someone certainly had blessed this one with a lovely uniform, the colors looked very nice together and matched her well.
As much as she wanted to climb into the girls arms, or maybe the new comers, Katya knew better. There was something to be dealt with and she had her duty as a guardian cat - she would fulfill it without hesitation.
Turning back to Remarque she shook her head. "No, I don't know anything about it. All I can say is it isn't something of ours." Ours being the Negaverse, of course. "I would call Benitoite but I believe he is out on a date...or perhaps a night in home with his significant other. If I were to call on Cuprite...well it would bring Benitoite with him - to keep him safe." Not to mention that as much as she adored Hudson...he hadn't been around nearly as long as his younger, and much smaller, cousin.
"We'd best get to work and start in on this thing...it isn't going to kill itself." Though she wished it would, it would save them an awful lot of time and effort.
That said the mauvian looked at all three of the dark mirror senshi before turning and taking off for the building and the chaos ahead of them. "I'd suggest you all follow me..." And maybe someone would pick her up...she wasn't as fast as they were - she was only a cat.
Either way she decided to try something, perhaps it was foolish of her, but it was in her opinion a nice idea to open up with everything she had. She would rather start that way than weaken herself to the point she couldn't use this option. So she wound be winded...she would recover if she didn't work too hard in this fight.
She was, of course, talking about laser beaming the dark wraith like creature. That was just what she did - a dark beam shot from the star on her forehead aimed right for the creature. She had already noticed that everyone here, so far, seemed to feel like chaos to her. Dark mirror senshi and negaverse officers...it was good to feel all the chaos around her...it was comforting though she would have liked to feel Benitoite here as well.
As the laser beam died out she found herself wibbling on her feet and quite a bit dizzy bit it was done and she could only hope she'd made a dent in the damn thing. She might be a cat but she would fight as well as she could.

Prince Remarque
Remarque blinked when he spotted Avior; he couldn’t help the smile that spread across his face. He clapped the man on the shoulder. “Avior,” he greeted. “It’s been too long. You look better than the last time I saw you. You picked a good night to show up,” he mused, glancing towards the building. “We’ll have to catch up later. For now, I suppose dealing with this is more important.”
He still didn’t know what this was.
He gave Laverna a look, partially exasperated. “She’d have my hide,” he muttered.
He didn’t dwell, thinking it best not to encourage Laverna and her teasing; instead, he listened to Katya. While it was in his nature to want to tease about Benitoite, he kept his mouth closed. While he didn’t like the idea of taking orders, he also didn’t consider Katya’s suggestion an order given that he was about to head up himself—before things got worse.
When Katya was out of earshot he said to the two Dark Mirror Senshi. “Truth be told, I don’t know what the Negaverse is doing letting her run around out here and fight monsters, but it’d be a wise idea to try and keep her safe. Cats are hard to come by—especially the ones who are tolerable. I don’t know what’s up there,” he nodded to the warehouse, “But I know that if it’s too much for you, you don’t have to stay. Don’t put yourself in harm’s way if you don’t have to, all right? And if you need help, ask.”
It was advice he’d give but never take; he couldn’t remember the last time he’d asked for help, and he couldn’t foresee a situation that would demand it of him.
He hoped tonight wasn’t going to be one of them.
Remarque moved quickly to follow the others into the building—and to the source of that dark pull. He didn’t like what he found—but that made it all the easier to attack it.
Lt. Leifite: 45/50 Stage: First Madness: 5/100 Attack: 5! Boss HP: 373/400 Spell: 1/1 Offense
It wasn't often Leifite found herself fighting Chaos. In fact, she really did her best to not get in fights with her own side. Yet, they'd needed someone to investigate and she was the best choice for the job. Thankfully, she'd recovered from the fight at the game shop for the most part, and was in shape for it. Would have been a tragedy if they'd had to substitute someone else in for her exceptional range of skills.
Oh who was she kidding.
Leifite let out a cry as some of the very gross oil slipped onto her shoulder for Metallia's sake! She wasn't anyone to write home about, she hadn't done anything useful but ruin her hips and get her a** handed to her.
who are you to think you're hot stuff, Velma...
Leifite blinked, glancing for the voice. Finding none, she shrugged, she followed the actions of a chaos senshi and started to pelt the monster... Wraith... thing with rocks.
