[Cheomseongdae] Cheom blinked when he cleaned her face for her, and looked at him in confusion for a moment, then her eyebrows lifted and she pushed her own glasses up her nose. "Ah... Did I still have dirt on my face? How... unpleasant. Thank you." She really did not want to think about grave dirt on her face.
She was SO going to take an extremely LONG shower when she got home. So long. All the soap. All the shampoo.
"Alright, off to the next bottle." She gave him a warm smile, accepting his hands as she stood up, and stretched a little, letting her back pop to release some of her tension from everything that went on.
As she began to walk towards the bottle, she grabbed one of the floating ones herself... And found herself suddenly levitating. She stared down at her feet, above the ground, and looked at Arthur. "I can... FLY!" She took a breath, and added "I will try, Arthur. Promise."
Basiluzzo was stressed with a capital "S". Part of him was glad Encke was holding onto his arm, but part of him was also concerned that Encke holding onto his arm meant he would not be able to react in time should something happen again. But he told his thoughts to calm down, that Encke was the more experienced one and probably would not be holding onto him if it was going to cause him an actual issue. So Basiluzzo followed Encke's lead in looking at the other bottles, but he opted to stay quiet when deciding which actual bottle to go into. Frankly, none of them looked good to him, but staying where they were didn't look good either, so he was going to defer to experience, here.
He had promised, after all.
He wished very sorely and dearly that he had more than a feather to protect himself with. There were his fists, he guessed, but they weren't going to be much use against a giant falling ship or whatever else came for them while they were in tiny bottle land. So when Encke picked a bottle and headed for it, Basiluzzo took a deep breath and followed his lead.
Acubens hadn't come back. Jason hadn't come back. Those two names were revolving around the redhead's mind as she stared at the trial bottles. Was something holding her friends back. Looking around she ran a hand through her hair and then made the snap decision to return to where she had just come from.
The urge to open a bottle was strong but she had promised Acubens that she'd not open any more bottles. Instead Lacerta rushed to the Sky Bottle and touched it, activating the magic that sucked her back into the trial that she had just passed. Was she crazy? Perhaps. But she couldn't leave her friends trapped in a strange realm.

Now he definitely was not okay. He felt bad for chucking it at her. Phaethon immediately regretted his actions, even as much as logic told him she was technically an enemy to him. She wasn't trying to hurt him, at least not yet, and he wasn't interested in getting involved in fights unnecessarily. It wasn't like he could do more than throw debris as far as attacking went, after all, and for all he knew she had something that could cause him real, actual damage. He didn't want to give her cause to use it.
"Sorry! I'll uh, bring you a brownie or something if we see each other again?" Could she even understand him? Should he use his healing on her? Was that breaking a taboo? Should he be glad he caused damage? They were technically enemies, right? But if she wasn't actually fighting him, what were the rules of combat with that? Was it no-holds-barred? She would probably ambush him in a similar situation, right?
Okay, so no healing, but he'd definitely bring her a brownie or something if he ran into her again and she didn't attack him outright.
She would probably attack him outright.
That was what would be expected, right?
"Bye!" Phaethon decided to solve his dilemma by picking a bottle and going for it. He realized, as he teleported into the bottle, that he probably should have, he didn't know, thought that through.
Well, too late now.

Phaethon's like "sry for throwing a 2x4 at ur face I'll bring u a food later ok"
As if on cue, Aogashima returned to the central meeting area, looking no worse for the wear save for maybe some stubborn dirt still clinging to her hair and dress, that she hadn't quite managed to clean off. Seeking out Chambersite, because she didn't see anyone else in the graveyard, she jogged over to the lieutenant, waving once she saw him to get his attention.
"Chambersite, I'm back!" she cheerfully called out, "So, where do we go now?"

Following Cheom, he held onto her as she started to float. "I'm starting to wonder about the gravity of this place. Ships falling and you floating." He reached up with the senshi to touch the bottle.
He was still recovering from the falling ship and was glad that it was gone. They did not need any huge objects taking up so much space and crushing people. Others had been popping in and out and taking bottles with them, and Chambersite decided that he might as well try one of the four that the voice had talked about.
It was too bad one couldn't punch a voice. Would have felt really good since clearly it was the voices fault for putting them in this situation in the first place.
Just as he was about to go over and examine one of the bottles, he heard a familiar voice and sighed a bit. He knew the page was probably going to come back, but he also hoped that she might move on from him. Oh well, he supposed it was better to have some company.
He turned to her. "Well, glad that you came back. I was thinking about trying one of the "trials" " He used air quotes for trials, "that the weird voice was talking about and was just about to go and examine one of them. Want to join me? Though you can stay here if you want." He didn't care if she came along or not. He started walking to one of the bottles. "This one looks interesting at least. Though it sounds pretty windy..."

Thinking of having him enter the Sky Bottle if Aogashima wants to join!
His plumage still looked kinda flared but he also didn't look quite as angry this time. Was he no longer angry? How could she actually tell if a peacock was angry? Did it matter? It had already somehow thrown wood at her, maybe it was just rude. Were all peacocks rude? Was this how they showed attraction?
Why was it squawking at her?!
Nembus watched, increasing bafflement obvious on her features as the bird went from hitting her with things to squawking in a way that might have seemed vaguely apologetic, maybe. She didn't know. It didn't sound angry, at least. She guessed. Was it attracted to her again? Was she just a tasty morsel? Did peacocks eat humans?
Were they a carnivorous bird why hadn't this been something she thought of looking up on Wikipedia before--
And then, suddenly, the bird plucked up a bottle, somehow.
And was sucked into one of the other big bottles.
"O-okay."
Maybe she should try to get the same thing to happen to her. Then again, maybe picking up another bottle was a bad idea. Then again, who knew what was going to happen. She certainly didn't. She didn't want to be here anymore there were too many weird peacocks and--
Nembus popped open the nearest bottle.

Looks like someone, the trap dimension won't name names---Nembus---touched a particular bottle...here are the consequences.
The disembodied voice rings out to all who are currently in the space:
"You're all gluttons for punishment...well, here's a glutton for you all to contend with."
EVERYONE who is currently in the Central Hub needs to roll 1d4 (or arriving for the next 48 RL hours, until Jan 10th 6:30 PM CST) If you roll an ODD number, you are CRUSHED or EATEN (your choice!) by the T-Rex because you couldn't get out of the way in time. You die so you go [ HERE ] If you roll an EVEN number, you are SAFE because you get out of the way in time! Feel free to carry on about your normal business afterwards, because the T-Rex is chasing down other prey ANYONE ENTERING this thread for the next 48 RL hours, until Jan 10th 6:30 PM CST, also needs to roll for this quick time event to see how you fair. After 6:30 PM CST, the T-Rex just poofs into mist and disappears You only need to react to this event ONCE (per character)! After, you are exempt from replying to this prompt
Versailles was expecting the worst when he went through the gate, but was happy to see that he was just back to where he had been when the ship had crushed him. And then he remembered what the situation was and why he was here in the first place, and all of the happiness drained from him, replaced by annoyance. "Seriously?" He muttered to himself, rubbing his face a bit and trying to figure out what to do next.
Of course, it couldn't be that easy now could it? Suddenly the voice came through again, and then there was a T-Rex. Versailles immediately lit up. Sure, he wasn't too into paleontology but he was still interested in it, so seeing an actual T-Rex alive and well... or at least he hoped it was one. It could be fake for all he knew, which deflated his feelings once again.
And as soon as a moment of pause had passed, the T-Rex was on the attack, and Versailles only barely got out of the way in time.
Nembus felt the bottle explode in her hands and screamed, throwing it the moment she felt it do that. Unfortunately, throwing a real-life Tyrannosaurus Rex might have been the worst decision that a certain Corrupt Sailor Nembus had made in a long, long time. It roared. Loudly.
Also, she couldn't exactly get it away from her.
It was too big.
And she was only so big.
And she was a tasty morsel.
There wasn't much time for her to even scream before the T-Rex bent down over her and swallowed her.
Bernard groaned a bit as he tried to sit up. He put as much strength as he could into his legs, and managed to sit up and took a good look around. It seemed that he, Etoile, Lepus, and all of the others who had been in the mist had been transported elsewhere. But where that was, he had no idea.
He took in the sight of... whatever here was, and could see sparkling things, they they were not stars. He glanced to one of his sides and saw the Chibi and Etoile! They had appeared next to him! He moved over to them. "Mademoiselles! We must hurry and try and find a way out of here!"
As soon as he had said that however, a disembodied voice could be heard and said something about punishment. Before Bernard could even try to figure out where the voice was coming from, a giant monster had appeared! Or at least it seemed to be, and after just a moment, it was on a rampage! Bernard moved himself in front of the two others, and unfortunately, it left him an easy target, and he was eaten by the monster!

[[ Lacerta is Entering ]] (( rolling via special prompt )) HP 16/20
Fresh out of the graveyard the senshi of bandages brushed off dirt that may or may not have still lingered underneath the sleeves of her fuku. Who knows, bandages were meant to keep out dirt but did that count if one had been lying in an open grave?
If she'd dwelt on her own personal musings for very long it would have cost her precious time. Luckily she gave up on trying to discern an answer in time to feel vibrations through the ground. It came straight out of the scene from Jurassic Park and Lacerta turned around in time to see a rather large, very real looking Tyrannosaurus Rex looming over her. With more a move that would have impressed ... well someone Lacerta turned tail and ran for cover. All she could think about was getting back to the trial bottles. She had to live. Going to the graveyard once was a learning experience and not one that she wanted to repeat anytime soon.
She had promised Acubens that she wouldn't open any more bottles. And she had been true to her word so far. The temptation though, it was strong now that she had seen how useful the attack potion was. And she did need to stock up. Lacerta would just keep this one last bottle opening a secret. Reaching up to a bottle that looked somewhat familiar the girl prised the seal off and looked inside before resisting the urge to clap her hands in glee. Shaking the small vial out of the bottle Lacerta pocketed her newest item before rushing back to where the four trial bottles floated. She knew which one she had to go into in order to make sure everyone else was faring okay.
With that thought in mind Lacerta ran to the Sky Bottle and touched it, feeling the familiar sensation of being sucked in.
