Irkalla, At the Forest Door, putting key into the lock to open the door
As Aquila shook her hand Irkalla smiled warmly at her, "how long have you been a senshi? I've only been around for a little over a year but I haven't been fighting that long. I have mostly kept a low profile."
The crowd around the Forest green door had grown as she had conversed with Aquila. Irkalla was still holding onto the key as she fidgeted. Faces flashed by and she realized that she didn't really recognize anyone. It would have been nice to see her old roomie in the crowd but she couldn't be picky. Her gaze swept the crowd before she turned to the door and put the key into the lock. She'd be ready to open the door at a moment's notice this way. Glancing across to those waiting at the magenta door Irkalla steeled herself for whatever challenge lay ahead.
"Aquila, what do you think is behind this door?"

Super Sailor Cadmus || Pink Door - > Red Door || Interacting with Sumi and Arsinoe
Cadmus echoed Arsinoe's sentiment. "Yea, you can do it, Sumi!" he called up to the kitten. Yet, even from where he stood, it looked tall. He hid his hesitation and second thoughts on the matter behind a hopefully convincing sheepish smile.
If and when the key was knocked from the bookcase, it fell and conked Cadmus right on the head before landing in his palm. The teen back a yelp with a grit of his teeth, but he did groan and rub the back of his head.
"Welp, it seems we've got this," he said, looking up to Sumi's position again. "You can come down now, Sumi!"

Sailor Arsinoe / Red Door / Interacting with Cadmus and Sumi
When the key fell and landed on Cadmus' head he felt a bit sorry for the younger senshi. "Should have warned you he's got really bad aim, or good aim depending on where you're standing." He smirked slightly.
-----------------------------------------
Mauvian Sumi / Red Door / Interacting with Cadmus and Arsinoe
Once the key was in Cadmus' hand he carefully made his way down from the shelves. He made it most of the way before finally losing his footing but thankfully Arsinoe caught him.
He shook his fur out and looked at the two senshi. "One of you gets to go next time."

Sailor Myrrha, Senshi of Scents - Magenta Door Open for interaction
Myrrha had been counting individuals to see just what the ratio was from one door to the other. It looked as if the magenta crowd had a few more people than the forest green crowd but she was more interested in the people that were around her. She was sure that as a cat had come through the door that it had changed forms and that was something new. The cat-changed-human also looked to be joining the crowd around the door that she was standing near. Perhaps if she eavesdropped she could learn something but her attention was focused on Scylla as she held up a piece of paper. "This is definitely an odd place. But I am not complaining, it's neat. I hope to see much more though," she regarded the paper again in Scylla's hand before pointing at it, "what is that?"
Myrrha noted that the person who had found the key for their door had inserted it into the lock. Was it go time again?
Themiscyra lifted a brow, her arms crossing slightly over her chest. "I'm bringing that topic back up later," she stated after a beat of debating with herself, eyeing him with a bit of concern. She'd... missed things. She knew that. She was dealing with s**t with Dom, and then she sort of... fell off the radar. Then she got the hell out of America and ran to Italy, and ignored anything that had to do with powered life. She'd missed things.
"Alright, for now... let's see how this goes." She stepped away from him a bit, making sure she wasn't going to hit Val in the process as she began to swing the weighted crystal at the end of her chain, eyeing the distance before managing to toss it up.
Much to her relief, it did manage to knock down two keys, and Themiscyra cheered as they clanked to the ground. She just hoped that thunk she heard up there wasn't um... her damaging the bookcase...
"Brown door?" She handed Valhalla one of the keys, grinning at at least one challenge down as she headed towards the mentioned door.

Metis | Blue -> Magenta | With Sessrumnir and Fenrir
Ganymede. It was a name she was vaguely familiar with, though hadn't encountered in a long time, if she was correct in her recollection. "I'll have to see if I can speak with her at some point soon. Thank you," she added quickly, smiling towards the somewhat sour knight. A part of her wanted to go into more detail but... was now really the time? This really the place..?
But it wasn't just Sessrumnir in close proximity, and she was more than happy to focus on the other girl, grinning to the firm handshake. "Like the Norse great wolf? That's amazing!" Of course, she couldn't really make out the other girl's uniform against the bright energies of... everyone else around them. She sort of missed the um... somewhat tell-tale signs.
Metis didn't bother to question the door colors, only giving a little shrug and smile to hearing Fenrir say one of the new options was magenta. "Sounds like a fair plan as any. Brighter might be luckier," she laughed, following the cheerful senshi, even as she cast Sessrumnir a bemused, if sympathetic, smile. He didn't seem overly pleased by everything, but she hoped he at least somewhat enjoyed himself while he was here.
Pink Prev-> Castor (need Partner) Red was darker he figured, a worth enough path to take.
Paris (Need partner) Meanwhile, Paris was just feeling altogether a sense of wonderment. This place seemed so warm and inviting- a contradiction to his own wonder though he wasn't a fool. Wonders were wonders- something here had a deeper meaning did it not? Maybe, either way, he went and chose the brown door, though.. he needed a partner among those gathered
Spacewatch (need partner)
Spacewatch's arms were cross and she maintained her hostile defensive posture, shying from others as she scoot herself towards the red doorway. How was she supposed to get a key? Ask? Ask as in talk? The girl regret coming here instantly.
BluePrev->
Alphard Alphard went with green, his mind just think to plants and weed and well- Alphard was in his happy place.
Polyduces
It was a cute color the newly minted senshi reasoned. Cute meant safe. Supposedly.

If you have chosen the FOREST door:
This room is entirely circular, with silver curtains draping in some silky, fluid fabric over each window. Curved bookshelves give the appearance of standing in some sort of bubble; even the windows are curved, the glass frosty, the outside not visible - but there is still apparent sunshine glowing through brightly.
As always, a note from Celsus resides just between the two door choices:
Remember, kindness is a virtue!

If you have chosen the MAGENTA door:
The magenta room is very overwhelming in color. In fact, it's so bright, it's hard to even take it all in, the wallpaper so vibrant it makes ones' eyes sort of hurt a little. The trim is all gold, everything a mixture of intense baroque meets neon. The books here are all very delicately made and extremely beautiful.
There are, like the last room, two doors to choose from. A note is pinned between.
if one wants to pass one must try to last without it going too fast write for me a poem else you're stuck

If you have chosen the RED door:
The red door leads into a room highly reminiscent of a certain common room from a certain House in a certain book series. It's full of squashy armchairs, golden fixtures, and a blazing, crackling fire that fills the place with a sense of homey warmth and security. There is a table off to the side, beneath a mullioned window, and it smells oddly of butterscotch.
A note is on the table for those who enter to read:
How about making some new memories? Or just sharing some old ones?
- C
OOC: IN ORDER TO MAKE A CHOICE YOU MUST ALL FIRST SHARE A MEMORY WITH SOMEONE! It can be to a singular person, it can be to the whole room, it can be just spoken aloud (though Celsus sees this as a slight cop out...). Hopefully it's a good memory, but it doesn't have to be!

If you have chosen the BROWN door:
It's a very subdued room in contrast to the others, full of dark wood shelves containing thick volumes of books in multiple sets and varying languages, some of which don't look familiar at all. In spite of the slightly austere nature, however, it is a quietly welcoming room, as are all of the rooms on Celsus.
No good deed goes unpunished, right?

Eternal Sailor Chariklo | Peru Door/Room > Green Door | still hanging with Xibalba and Connie, but open for interaction
Smiling a little sheepishly at the barrage of compliments, Chariklo reached up to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear before reaching out to shake Connie's hand.
"Thanks, truly. You're awfully cute yourself and I just wanna smoosh your cheeks, but first we need to get our keys, right?"
Fortunately, the human pyramid idea worked and Connie's best was very very good indeed. Once she had her key in hand, Chariklo grinned at her partners and walked boldly through the brown door. Only to see that it led into a very brown room. Admiring the austere room and fingers itching to pull down books to leaf through, the tall senshi instead made herself focus on yet another note from their host.
"Hey guys, look at this," she murmured and pointed to the slip of paper. The wording sent little chills up her spine, but Celsus hadn't brought them up here to punish them. So...? Was he asking them to do good deeds? Maybe he had a way of listening and wanted to know more about them all?
Chariklo felt a little out of her depth, but clearing her throat, she turned a little to smile at Xibalba and Connie. It was always easier to talk to friends about stuff like this.
"I'll tell you mine if you two tell me yours," she laughed. "I think when I get home, I'm going to call up the animal shelter and donate enough to them to keep operating for a year. Maybe I'll spend a couple days every week volunteering there too. It'll drive my dog nuts, but knowing the animals are okay would be worth it, don't you think?"
Glancing over her shoulder at the two new doors, she pointed her thumb at the green one.
"That one hurts my eyes less than the indigo."
-------------------------
Xibalba, Page of Mars | Peru Door/Room > Indigo Door | hanging with Chariklo and Connie, but open for interaction
Accepting his key and smiling at Connie, Xibalba gave the eager knight a gentle clap on the shoulder before bowing and indicating that she should precede him.
"Ladies first, lass."
Following the others into the brown room, he eyed the walls of books admiringly. THis was a well maintained Wonder. He'd have to see to it that he gave the same level of care to his own place as Celsus did here. Then, distracted by Chariklo's voice, he wandered over and read the note, one hand stroking his goatee as he thought. Good deeds, hmm? He only half listened as Chariklo shared her own, though he smiled at the thought of her volunteering. More like she'd end up turning herself into a puppy pile epicenter. Though he liked that she was so willing to fork over a good sized chunk of her own money to give a lot of ragged strays a better life.
"Settin' the bar a bit high there, no?" he joked as he considered his own. What could he do that would be considered a legitimate good deed? He already looked out for the girls at the burlesque club. What else was there? Though...
"I've got a guid friend who's been through a lot of late," he began slowly, giving Chariklo a bit of side-eye. "She's been tryin' to turn herself aroond, y'ken? Don't think she knows how far she's come. I think when we get back home, I'll ring the lass up and take her out and let her know how amazin' I think she is."
Ignoring the faint flush on the senshi's cheeks, he considered the two doors.
"Well, I'm thinkin' I may try the indigo. Note doesn't say we've all got to stick together, so it can't hurt to branch out a wee bit."

She is so damn cute~ I also have no idea if we're supposed to stay paired up or not.. XD;;;

Falias Knight of Earth - In the brown room with Sailor Zeta Corvi and eyeing Celsus' message
"I'm not sure my magic would have come in handy here either" Falias admitted, although it didn't really matter since it was kind of a moot point with magic being out.
"And it's nice to meet you SailorZeta Corvi."
He turned his attention back to the door with the intention of summoning his staff and then paused in hesitation because if he was honest he wasn't sure if summoning his staff would count as magic..
Because whilst just using the staff per se wasn't magic - the act of summoning it was something that might have been considered magic.
Of course there was a chance that it wouldn't be - but on thinking it over it wasn't a chance he wanted to take and so he found himself suggesting trying to rig up something involving his belt and one of the pouches to try and knock a key down as an alternative to Zeta Corvi.
And whilst Falias hadn't been sure whether it would work, it had somehow been enough to secure them a key.
The room beyond the brown door had turned out to be surprisingly subdued in comparison to the previous room - all dark shelves and thick tomes...
And amongst everything was another message.
Falias eyed it curiously as he pointed it out to Zeta Corvi "I'm assuming good deeds plays a part in what comes next, but I'm not sure if it's a past good deed, like helping out a friend, doing something now or doing something future - what do you think?"
Sailor Aquila - forest door - looking for someone to say nice things to
Aquila considered the other senshi's question about how long she'd been a senshi. She didn't remember exactly when she'd met the talking cat in the park, but it had been spring, so..."I guess it's getting close to a year," she answered after a long moment. "So you haven't been a senshi for much longer than me." She shrugged and added, "Not that I've done much as one yet."
The second question was easier to answer, and she smiled wryly as she answered, "I am almost certain there will be a room with bookshelves." That was kind of a given in this place, after all.
Then the door was opened and everyone started to head in. Aquila found she was right; the round room did have book cases, along with two colored doors and a note (which she probably could have also predicted). She moved forward to read what it said.
Kindness, huh? So...maybe say something nice to someone? She looked around the room, trying to pick who to talk to this time. Too bad she'd already complemented the senshi that found the key in the last room.

Eternal Scylla || Blue-> Magenta -> Chartreuse || Open to Interact!
"This?" Scylla set down the book, holding up the "passport" with a grin. "Got it from a friend a long time ago. It lets me come and visit here, if I need to. I've never really used it before, but I imagine it would come in handy." As the Magenta door opened, Scylla leaned in, sliding her arm through Myrrha's. "Come with me?" she urged, and tugged the younger woman through.
The room was horrifically bright, and Scylla made a sad little noise, closing her eyes against the pain for a moment before peering at the note. "So we have to write a poem, huh?" But did she want to write poetry, or did she want to look at the boo- no. No, this room was too horrific. It hurt the eyes. She wanted out. "What do you think we should do a poem on? I can write one for you, but then there's Duhr, or..." Scylla considered the others in the room. There were some interesting people to possibly write a poem for, or about. Knights and Senshi all.

Once Megumi had landed safely in her friend's arms (Rhea was totally counted as a friend now), she was able to stand back up and hand both of them their keys. "Now we can see what's in the next room! She said excitedly, and turned to open the red door.
The room inside was warm and cozy-looking, with the big fireplace, the soft armchairs, and the window that looked like it belonged in a castle. In fact, it looked kind of familiar. It took Megumi a minute of wandering around and thinking to place it, but she suddenly said, "Oh! I know what this reminds me of!" She turned back to her fellow chibis and said, "Have either of you seen Harry Potter? The first movie, I mean, though probably any of them would work. This reminds me of the common room!" She beamed proudly at having figured that out.
A moment later she remembered their goal was to get through the room, not just hang out in it, so she looked for the way out. There were two colored doors, as before, and also a note. After reading it, she said, "So we have to share memories, huh?" She looked up at the fireplace, grinned and said, "It reminds me of telling stories around a campfire. Except with less bugs. And those chairs look more comfortable than sitting on the ground or on logs." She eyed the squishy chairs, looking forward to sitting in one while they told stories.

Sailor Duhr - Magenta Door -> Orange Door
She squinted as she walked into the bright room, struggling to focus on the new series of books lining the obnoxiously golden area. It was like starin' at the sun, but while still inside... it just didn't plum make sense, but neither did traveling to other worlds, so...
Spotting the poem (it was much easier than lookin' for some tiny sets of keys), her head tilted as she slowly attempted to decipher the riddle. A poem? From her? Duhr wasn't the creative type - surely no one expected her to be the next Einstone or anythin', right?
Shrugging her shoulders, she closed her eyes and thought really hard. What could she write a poem about?
Opening her eyes, she glanced around her at the people still lingering. Silver haired Knight was gesturing towards her in a very gentlemanly fashion but her attention was distracted as she heard her name called out - oh, there was Scylla!
Why, this might not be so hard after all!
"Ah'm surrounded by pretty folk, like Scylla and this knight here and her - "
One finger gestured towards the mysteriously beautiful woman she'd spotted in the prior room,
"they're smart and Ah bet're great at games...."
She paused, thinking over how to finish it up, then smiled brightly as it came to her -
"which is perfect for people like Duhr!"
"While this game is fun, My rhymin' is awful, when we're done with this, let's all go get waffles!"
Caia laughed and shrugged as he moved into the next room with Morgan. "I might have to take a bunch of different trips with a bunch of different people and just hope for the best. Maybe someone will be luckier than I am. But..I didn't mention much to anyone. Except that the whole place is covered in snow." He seemed almost self conscious, afraid that maybe he'd messed things up somehow. "I'm just afraid that I did something wrong. I don't want anyone to think poorly of me. I'm trying my hardest," he insisted.
"...But, we'll see!"
He pulled away from the subject, wearing a fresh smile. "What door do you want to go through? I have to be honest, I'm partial to the purple one. Oh! But something nice to say! I want to say it about you," he said, leaning closer to Morgan. "You're incredibly nice, I think, and I really appreciate that you were friendly enough to come keep me company. You're a realy good listener, and after all of this I really want to go back to my homeworld. So you've given me a little extra motivation there, too, and I really appreciate that. Thank you."
