Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Coming." Diadem agreed. The crystals were lovely, colorful and bright, but she didn't feel the same unhindered draw some of the others did, though she wanted to remember this place. Maybe she could find it later, find out more about them. They were pretty things but people had almost died for those trinkets, and she was dreaming of the spa. At least of gently removing glass shards from her hair, and a bath with bubbles up to her chin and all the hot water she could muster.

And not one public display of exhausting affection to be found. She'd always heard about people getting... excited... by near death experiences but she was not so ruffled she planned to wait and see how far that went. Time to go.

It had been with relief that Sadalsuud finally stepped through the mirror, the trip across the 'path' of platforms and spikes not one that she particularly wanted to repeat - ever–

But whilst she had stumbled a couple of times due to platform started to stumble beneath her feet she had made it - somehow she had made it.

No not just her - somehow they had all made it.

Sinope, Kiuchi, the blond with him (Crocus) and the curly-haired senshi (Acubens) and further out she could spot more faces - Avior and Mr Prince who was..

Who was...

Her cheeks tinged a little red as Remarque very publicly kissed the pretty blonde senshi (Lesath) with him and for a moment she thought that she spotted Merkeb amongst those gathered in the room.

Something glistening drew her attention - the something turning out to be several somethings - several crystals scattered in a haphazard line of sorts.

Sadalsuud found herself walking towards them, her green eyes distracted as something amongst them called, her hand darting between a grey and yellow crystal to pick up a white crystal.

It felt strangely weightless as she held it in her hand and whilst curious it seemed as it was the thing that had inexplicably called to her...

Although the why and the how was something to perhaps be pondered at a later time - a much, much later time.


[Sadalsuud exit]

The crystals were strange; Remarque entered the room without knowing what to expect. Trouble, mostly, but he had thought it would come in the form of some out of control wraith.

Not crystals.

He wasn’t the first to enter the room, nor was he the last; he kept his eye on everyone who entered but he didn’t waste much time examining just what they had stumbled in on. There were different crystals, though he didn’t see all of them.

And only one seemed to call to him.

It was a green crystal; he expected it to be smooth but when he touched it, all he could think of was brushing against a tree. He caught a whiff of grass and tossed the crystal into the air thoughtfully before giving it a thorough lookover.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Avior and paused.

The Eternal Senshi seemed to be looking at a gray crystal but hadn’t made any effort to pick it up. Remarque waited for a second longer before he pulled his attention away from the crystal he had and moved to pick up the gray one; he expected the same weight as the one he’d picked up but was surprised to find that the gray one was a little heavier.

“Hey,” he said, tilting his head just slightly. “It doesn’t burn. You wanna check this one out?”

He didn’t particularly wait for an answer; instead he tossed the crystal to Avior, warning just before, “It’s heavy.”

He wasn’t far from Lesath; they had entered at about the same time together.

He was curious about the crystals—and he knew her well enough to know that she was interested in anything shiny enough, herself.

"Yeah...we can do it," Sinope told Sadalsuud, attempting to convince himself just as much as her. It took them some time with a few slips and mishaps along the way, but eventually they were able to get to the other side.
