Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eridanus was unfortunately, among those late to the party, and the icy cold was not a welcome surprise to someone who'd gone fully expecting to see long dreams of the Moon Princess realized, and even brought a big thermos of hot chocolate to celebrate with the others. ((His mother had made it, which was just as well. Last time he'd burned the milk.))

His mother would have been completely horrified to know he'd gone to the center of town and found not a princess, but a woman with...

Oh dear.


....Not very much covering up her ta-tas.

...Or thats what he thought he was seeing ((And what was making him turn furiously red)), through the haze of snow.

He was even prepared to enter the fray until someone shouted something about 'Red light district', and he realized there was, Princess help them, a civilian on the field of battle.

God help them, that was uncomfortably too much like the battle against the Negaverse at the tree, and he had to do something about it.

"Hey! You shouldn't be here! It's too dangerous! You'll freeze!" He protested, slogging his way toward the girl behind the bench, half trying to keep an eye out for the Snow Princess through the blinding whirl of snow.
Of course with Senshi (and apparently Negaverse agents)) attacking the towering woman blindly, there were plenty of other dangers besides FREEZING, but he didn't want to scare the poor girl.

Oh, b***h please, thought Gunn. Face, schmace. As if she could ever respect someone so whiny enough to be ruled by her anyway!

Still, it'd taken a minute to get her wind back after that failed attack. She tossed her hair over one shoulder, took a painfully deep breath--was this the kind of weather that could get you growing ice in your lungs? Hopefully not. She really didn't want it to be. That would be incredibly awkward.

How did hypothermia start anyway?

Out of the corner of her eye, though, she saw fire. Having no lighter nor match, she had to depend on other sources of flame; this, she thought, could be her only chance. Focusing on those... claws? Claws made out of fire? She'd have to find out who this guy was, maybe she could recruit him into the Blood Moon. She shook off those thoughts and howled, "Gunn Wildfire Voracious Propagation!"

With every moment being so close to the Snow Princess, Flora felt her knees shake, growing paler as the cold grew in intensity. Still, she determinedly held her ground, even as she watched their enemy brush off her attack. Chronos moved besides her, the both of them still on the rooftops, but closer to where Kaguya was situated.

"I'm not sure what else to do." Flora's voice came out in a whisper, fists clenching. If she carried on fighting, she was going to fall to the ground, sooner or later. But as she looked at Chronos watching the ongoing fight, the pink gaze hard, steeling herself with determination... she knew she couldn't just turn her back on this scene. Neither of them could. Even if she had to be brought to hospital in the winter again, no matter how much she dreaded it, there was not an option to run away.

"Alright." Chronos said quietly, jumping down from the rooftop, Flora following suit. The Zodiac Princess removed her tiara from her forehead, and Flora understood, stepping backwards and deciding to search for a weapon instead.

With an "Equinox Tiara Magic!", the tiara spun forth, and Flora returned with part of a thick metal pipe she had found in an alleyway to see the tiara reappear on the Princess' forehead.

"Vanity is a sin, you know." Alkaid shook her head at the thought, sending the short dreads flying around her pale face. Then, of course, the temperature plummeted to such an extent that she was starting to feel it in her senshi form. Worriedly, she glanced around at the humans littering the square - they had to be feeling miserable if this was affecting her.

"We need to find something better than rocks," she hissed, wishing not for the first time that she had a really powerful offensive attack. However, melee was strictly out of the question - she'd just seen that poor blue-haired Senshi be tossed aside like a ragdoll. It seemed like Nemesis wasn't too keen on testing her strength either, as she watched her hurl another stone.

To the side, underneath an old tree, Alkaid found a branch that had broken under the weight of the snow. She picked it up and hurled at the woman's face, hoping maybe a tree could inflict enough damage to make a difference.

"Maybe we should concentrate on taking out those pesky little snow dancers," she came up to Nemesis' side, a frown etched deep into her face. "It seems like they heal her as fast as we can attack."

Kurma heard Perseus before seeing her. Everyone's visibility was absolute s**t right now thanks to the weather this malicious being was generating, and he was no exception to it. Upon her voice reaching his ears (barely, over all the other noise that was going on), his toes left the ground and he twirled in midair in search of the source until his eyes managed to alight upon one of the senshi he had personally taught how to travel through space. He seemed unbothered by the cold -- or at least, he was wearing a look that suggested he'd endured worse -- as he hovered towards Perseus, his features set into uncharacteristic seriousness.

"It's good to see so many of you made it to the party," he said, by means of greeting. "However, I'm not sure if you noticed or not..." and he turned around, making a gesture towards the ice queen and everything that was being thrown at her, "but whatever you kids are doing... how do I put this..."

A hand was brought to his chin, the other tucking his orb at his side as he pondered for a moment. A couple of screams and a fresh gust of cold wind later, he'd mentally gathered his words together and glanced back down at Perseus.

"...I don't think it's working."

Much to Sailor Iris' disappointment, her first throw had indeed been all based on luck it would seem. A frown managed to find its way on her lips as she watched her boomerang soar in, hit the opponent, but then wobble off lamely in some other direction.

It wouldn't have been so much of a problem if there wasn't such a crowd of senshi and Negaversers in the vicinity. Even town square seemed more crowded than such a roomy area should have been.

"God damnit!"

With that, the yellow-suited senshi began to try and push her way to where her tool had landed. It didn't matter if you were a senshi or a Negaverse agent, you were getting shoved by Sailor Iris if you were in her path. They were all fighting a "greater evil," as the cat pointed out, so the full group were all teammates for now. A dysfunctional set of teammates, most likely.

Eventually, she managed to locate the yellow piece of wood on the floor. Hoping she hadn't lost too much time, she tried her luck one more time. The boomerang once more flew through the air, but apparently only luck would decide how successful she'd be with this throw.

If Bell wasn't fond of the cold be fore, she sure as heck wasn't enjoying it now. It didn't help that the metal embellishments to her uniform were painfully cold when they occasionally scraped past her flesh. She was somewhat envious of the Negaverse agents they were fighting beside - at least they seemed to have more coverage and warmth from their uniforms... Now wasn't the time for that though.

Bell's tactic was to move in fast, attack, then flee to the back of the pack. easier said then done in this crowd, but once again she was at the rear of the ruckus, assessing the situation...and looking for a weapon. She knew anything she touched was goign to absolutely FREEZE her gloveless hands, but- was that a broken fender half burried in the snow?
That would work.

Weapon procured, it was time to dive back in to the fray~

"I am perfectly fine !" Or at least she'd been before he'd started trailing her ! Oh god, oh god.

The snow made it hard to see - god damn b***h ! - so when she turned to run again, she hit one of the tree's root and fell over. OW. Get up, get up, quick, get up ! Which was exactly what she did.

"LIGHT HER GOD DAMN a** ON FIRE !" Christ, seriously. One of them HAD to be able too shoot fire ! Too bad she couldn't see Gunn, or she would have probably given a tumb-up.
