Welcome to Gaia! ::

Squire Irkalla

Having pulled out a book from her subspace pocket Irkalla lost herself in the words that she was reading from the page before she simply marked her place in the book before giving a gentle sigh. This animal, too have remained free for so long, must have some sort of magical powers attributed to it. Once more the squire took out her impromptu book mark of a leaf before she dove back into the book. The jackalope would be caught, but only when it wanted to be.

There was nothing against the rules of being able to read in the meantime.

Illyria

As Beira scooped her up into his arms Illyria tried to make the adjustment to being carried before shifting a little of her weight to be balanced more before she grinned up at the senshi. This idea of partnering up worked well for her. She could, as Beira put it, conserve a little more of her energy and also now she had a better vantage point to peer around at the animals that were moving around. Just none of the ones she could make up had a purple ribbon. That was a little disappointing.

Her attention went back to Beira as he inquired if there was a prize associated with this event, "I think there would have to be something awarded to the person who brought the jackalope back. But it's probably something like a little memento of the occasion. I could be wrong though. Still, I'm glad that I can work with you Beira. Two sets of eyes is definitely better than one in this case ... and I don't think it's against any rules."

Emain Ablach, Squire of Earth

Despite himself, Emain Ablach was taken aback. Despite all the ways he’d thought this would go, when the time came, he faltered for a second. Imhotep was telling him to either join them or ******** off, and he seemed to be legitimately leaving the choice up to Emain Ablach. He was just… staring at him over his shoulder. Waiting.

Should he leave?

Promethei had waved, so maybe he shouldn’t leave.

There didn’t seem to be a right answer, but Emain Ablach would have to have faith that Tobias’ mantra of ‘give it time’ was right. Maybe it had been enough time. At the very least, Imhotep didn't outright chase him off. He was able to move to stand next to Promethei, careful to keep Imhotep to the other side of him.

"I'll stop skulking." He addressed them with a practiced customer service smile. That was, until he squinted his eyes and realized Imhotep was right about the direction he was facing. Would probably be worse if he withheld anything at this point. "Jackalope's over there, for what it's worth."

[ Emain Ablach sees the jackalope! ]

Promethei, Squire of Mercury

Was that it? Was Emain Ablach going to leave when finally confronted with the possibility of being able to interact with his husbands again?

Promethei glanced in Imhotep's direction, watching as his husband refused to break eye contact with at least Emain Ablach's body, and then shifted his gaze to glance at Emain Ablach. Oh... thank ********. He was going to join them. Unfortunately, it left him in the awkward position of being between them as he worried, but then again, perhaps it had been the only reasonable choice.

The last time they had been powered around each other, Imhotep had tried to kill him. Then again, Promethei had tried too.

Of course, they were both there on this same asteroid for that moment Ransomite died and Emain Ablach was born in his place. Complex.

He brought his head out of it, letting the energy filter into his fingers, where they wiggled in the air. There was a brief moment when he thought of grasping their hands. He didn't. When Emain Ablach observed where the jackalope was, he let that energy move searching out where the jackalope was. Nothing. What was he even seeing?

"Yeah, I'm with Imhotep." Nothing. Well, if he saw something they didn't... "Lead the way?"

There was a part of him that bristled when it came to trusting Emain Ablach with that much. But what else could he do?

Super Sailor Perdita

“I’d like that,” Perdita accepted Belmont’s invitation.

She knew it had probably been extended to her because of Connie, but Perdita appreciated it regardless. Her smile grew a touch wider. Any thoughts she may have had about continuing to search for the jackalope temporarily fled. She hadn’t been all that invested in catching it anyway.

“I know a couple of Jupiter knights through Oberon but I haven’t had the chance to visit Jupiter yet. I heard the weather’s pretty awesome.” There was not a single hint of sarcasm in Perdita’s voice. She’d been warned about the weather there, yes, but she thought the idea of it was fascinating. “I’ve never been to a wonder of Chronos either,” she added with another smile for Connie. “To be honest, I’m not entirely sure who or what Chronos is. I had the Surrounding explained to me, but I hadn’t awakened yet when it was attacked and there don’t seem to be many of you. I actually think you’re the first Chronos knight I’ve ever met.”

Still leaning against the tree Hierapolis closed his eyes and listened, trying to let the thoughts running through his head blend in to the murmurrs of voices around him until he could tune them out in favor of the sounds of nature.

Beira, Super Senshi of Loneliness

Beira was careful with Illyria, and while he might not have been accustomed to carrying cats of any kind, he cradled in her arms like she was some sort of royalty worthy of great reverence. It was practically a crime to offend a Mauvian, Soleiyu had taught him this much. In his own words, but Beira thought he understood the gist of it.

He saw movement–and purple. The jackalope had come within range again.

“Ah, Illyria–I think you’re my good luck charm. Over here,” he said, and rather than waiting for it to move again so she could see it, he carried her in the direction he’d spotted it. He took long steps, hurried but not frantic, with her comfort in mind as much as her desire to win.

He kept his voice down and tried to move in such a way that he wouldn’t spook it, but hunting and stalking really wasn’t his forte.
