Welcome to Gaia! ::

One blonde senshi had been keeping an eye out for a certain dude to show up. However, she hadn't been certain if he would.

So when Kailash, Page of Uranus showed up, a pair of golden eyes managed to notice the messy head of greenish hair.

With as much tact as a secret princess had, she shouted out in his direction "HEY, KAILASH, GET YER a**s OVER HERE!!!"

She waved in a wide gesture and a huge s**t-eating grin on her face. He was a knight of Uranus, and her call had been so clever (but not really).

"Sounds like a plan," Cora said and nodded before stepping the stage. She slided her body against Polaris' hand, pushing her back up as it was under her hand and rising her tail high before sliding it under her hand as well. She had started purring in some point while doing this. With slow, affectionate movement, she walked by side of Polaris' snow white boots, giving them a strong push before moving forward to push Niflhel as well with her tiny, feline body.

"I'm so proud of you," she said to both of them. The star sign on her forehead glimmered softly, as she focused on her energy dampening duty. After a brief moment, she flopped down on the stage floor, streched her body a little, glanced around and clearly waited for something.

Even with letting her attention falter for a little while with Ambrosia and Cora, Polaris had still heard Chronos' question. But it was a question she could not offer any assistance in.

Polaris had not been a Princess for terribly long, and as of yet no one had ever come to her or be brought to her asking for help. It had also never occurred to her, nor did it sound like a good idea to just try and start purifying anyone with a chaotic aura. So as of yet the opportunity had not arised for her. She wasn't even entirely certain how one went about purifying someone, only that it involved using your crystal and that she would do absolutely anything in her powers to figure it out and help anyone that came to her.

To her knowledge there hadn't really been very many purifications at all, Lina being the one sure one she knew of. Well the Zodiacs too apparently given what Chronos had just said. Sometime she'd have to try to talk to Lina or her own or Chronos. Where had Castor gone? He'd seemed so ready to help and give her advice when she'd first become a princess.

Oh well.. all topics for her own mind on another day and at another time.

While Tsui might have felt that the knights were being badmouthed, and maybe in a way they were, Bimini did not take any offense to Niflhel's joke, nor the banter between the Saturn knight and the weird (but awfully hot) cat lady. Were cat ladies extra flexible? In his mind they were.

He was a full grown man. Wearing sparkley pastel robes with a giant ribbon. With full on rainbows in his mullet, set out to save the world with nothing more then a bowl of water. He was no fighter and had no desire to do it either, not even in his younger days. Bimini, and his alter ego Corey, was just a nice guy who loved to talk and owned an arcade. If he couldn't find the humor and make light of the ridiculousness of it all well.. then he probably would have been too busy crying about it instead.

Grinning his usual goofy smile, he flashed Tsui a thumbs up from across the room. "Oh man, like Battle Royale, only with girl power. Very cool."

"Except maybe not in a dark alley." He winked mildly, though he wasn't certain whether she'd see it across the distance.

The knight discussion had only really trickled along, but even the trickle was dwindling. Darn.. it seemed like there wasn't going to be a ton of information shared about the Aspects. Polaris guessed she'd have to just add it to her own personal list of questions and try to do some research of her own on it. Beyond just good information she had knights on her team, and it was only good sense to try and know as much as you could to help them too.

It was time to move on though.

Shifting from the more casual stance she had settled into while she stood back and let others talk, the senshi of magnetism once again stood up straight and proper. Her thoughts were collected for a moment before she lifted her voice again, trying to be as loud and clear as possible.

This would probably be pretty short too, because the Dark Mirror Senshi were hardly her expertise.

"If anyone else has anything they'd like to toss in feel free to, otherwise we'll go ahead and move on to the dicussion on the Dark Mirror Senshi and their court."

Pausing for a few moments to allow for said remaining conversation, she finally pushed on.

"The Dark Mirror Senshi are another group that uses the powers of Chaos. They have some small similarities with the Negaverse, in particular the corrupted senshi, but have a lot of really big differences too."

"The DMC (Dark Moon Court) are led by Princess Ares. Ares was a parallel senshi that once fought on our side and led the Blood Moon Court. There are varying opinions on the Blood Moon Court and what they've done in the past, but unless someone else wants to specifically discuss it I am going to pass over that topic for now."

"I'm not certain exactly what led to her corruption or how it happened." That did not mean that Polaris didn't have her opinions and guesses on how the 'too dark and too violent' leader of what she used to consider a misguided group had turned. But they were just conjecture and hardly anything she wanted to spout as the gospel truth. "But perhaps if anyone here was once part of her group, they might have a little more insight on that?"

"Anyway." A gloved hand gestured the thought away as if it were a fly.

"They are a fairly new group with their first large scale appearance, to my knowledge, occurring during the incident in the Surrounding last year."

"Much like knights and senshi have slightly different aura's, DMC and the negaverse have slightly different aura's, though both are obviously Chaos tainted."

"The senshi have uniforms that are prodominately black and dark colors. But they do not have holes in their chests and foreheads like the corrupted senshi of the Negaverse. They appear to go through similar power levels as we do."

"While the Negaverse have youma at their disposal and the ability to teleport, the DMC have a different kind of monster. It is something summoned from a crystal that steals energy from the people of Destiny City, much like a youma. They also have a nasty ability to disappear into and appear out of mirrors. Hence their names."

"From what I've gathered, the DMC are more inclined to talk to senshi then attack them outright because one of their main goals is to corrupted as many of us to their side as they can. The same does not apply for knights."

"Though they don't seem to be working towards the same goal as the Negaverse they are definately aligned with them and not fighting amongst each other." She stressed the word seem, because who knew whether or not her sources had been truthful or not. Or if her source had just not been given the total information behind their grand scheme.

"From what I have heard they do have a plan to turn as many of our senshi into one of them before abandoning Earth and leaving for space."

"My interaction with this new group has been fairly minimal, so that's the end of my information on them. I'm sure there are others that would know a little more like Zirconia, members of the Blood Moon Court, or those of you that have had more experience and battles with them. If you have more information to offer please do."

((*editted because I totally derped the BMC's name before. Sorry guys! ))

The Page had obviously heard her. Seeing as he had just given her a grand ol' gesture. The girl laughed with amusement rather than taking it as the insult it probably would have been from others. Though she was amused, she wasn't about to just let him stay there.

"KAAAAAAAAILAAAAAAAAASHHHHHH! HEY KAILASH! HEY, HEY KAILASH! GET YER a** OVER HERE!! COME ON!!!" She was now just being obnoxious for the sake of being obnoxious.

She did manage to get that all out of her system though just before Polaris started up again. Where as the Dark Mirror Senshi might have been a major thing to make a fuss over, Iris' interactions with them had been minimal at best. The only one that was worth remembering was the one she had a bit of a fist-fight with.

That was fun!

"...so pretty much... the DMC are pretty much proposing to do what the Negaverse kinda want us t'do anyways... that whole goin' back t'space thing?" There was a pause before she added her two cents. "Makes sense why they'd be allied... since they'd both be gettin' what they want if they both succeed..."

To her it was simple enough logic to follow.

Nysa was starting to regret not taking any allergy medicine prior to this meeting. He had been warned that there would be felines present. However, he didn't think they'd bother him too much if he kept his distance.

So now that his eyes were getting irritated, he only had himself to blame. In as eloquent of a manner as he could muster up, he started to rub at his eyes a bit. In all honesty, there wasn't a way to make that look good at all, since the gesture itself was completely childish. However, he had to succumb to a momentary fix for his eyes feeling so horrid.

He did keep an open ear and did manage to catch all of Miss Polaris' descriptions of these Dark Mirror Senshi. Apparently that was the label for the lad he had come across recently. He didn't have a hole in his chest, and as his team captain had mentioned, he had been pretty unwilling to talk to Nysa, even slightly. Where others might not have been getting much information from this meeting, Nysa knew he was getting quite a bit to think upon later. He did somewhat wish there was someone writing all of this down so he could read through it at another time as well.

Tsui was just as surprised to see Chronos agree with Valhalla's words, and any hope of her sticking true to that promise was shot when she promptly left shortly after. Tsui knew little of what had happened and, unlike Valhalla, she was more or less put off instead of curious as to where she was going. 'None of my business, I suppose. Don't get yourself killed, o Princess.'

She brought her attention back to the stage as the topic had changed into one that she was more familiar with, and honestly comfortable with. Whereas she has a more or less neutral stance on the Negaverse, she held a little more passion when it came to the Dark Mirror Court. Maybe it was Kallichore's ordeal with them? Or her own experiences with the silver-tongued group. Either way, Tsui was less likely to show mercy to a member of the DMC than she was to a Negaverse lieutenant, though she would still never outright kill them.

In response to Oberon's statement, Tsui tried to lift his spirits with a little pep talk of her own, certain that while it was addressed mostly to him it would be heard to everyone who might have felt the same way. "That may make us the underdogs, but everyone loves a good underdog story. That just means that we have to work a little harder, and victory is all the sweeter when you work for it instead of having it handed to you."

Making peace seemed like a harder task than simply killing them outright or purifying them, Tsui still thought, but she wisely kept this part out. She may not like the DMC or what they've done to her, or her friends, but she was still willing to extend a hand in friendship if it meant to stop this war. 'It's easier to set your weapons down than it is to swing it.' She told herself.

Pasiphae had been doing her level best to remain as silent and still as possible as the meeting proceeded around her. There were many new faces, new voices, some information that she knew and other information that she was trying to absorb as quickly as possible. Her heart leapt into her throat whenever Valhalla and Chronos began to talk, and she looked away. Her hands were clasped together in her lap, and though she appeared to be providing her rapt attention, in her head all she was doing was praying.

Praying that they would no longer fight. Praying that the unpleasantness from the Surrounding could be avoided. Praying that they could all agree to work, if divided into different teams, for the same cause. The courage that she had built up between the last Jovian meeting and this current one seemed so small to her now as she tried to muster more. As with too many situations, she could agree with both what her teammates were saying and with Chronos's words. As a result, she felt unable to jump in for either, too afraid that she would unintentionally make matters work. At least the two were discussing things, as it was now.

The Senshi of Shame barely breathed until the Princess's departure, but she was left with hope, not despair. The past was in the past, and both parties seemed to be willing to move forward. She remembered, with guilt (an emotion that tinged so many of her thoughts), that she had yet to use the pass gifted her to visit the Surrounding after the battle there. Perhaps after the meeting... well, not directly after, but soon. To show that she was willing, as ever, to be an ally. And then, if she went... maybe Valhalla and Ganymede would be willing to go too?

Her thoughts were interupted with Valhalla's question. She shook her head to indicate that she had no idea. However, she offered a simple explanation, one that satisfied her--even if it was unlikely to satisfy her teammate, "Where ever she is going... she has her Knights with her and is leaving the meeting. I'm sure she wouldn't do that if it wasn't important. She didn't seem angry..."

Her voice trailed off, both in response to Ganymede's words and to the topic of the meeting shifting to the Dark Moon Court. Not even Tsui's enthuiasm and curiousity could bring a smile to her face. Her stomach twisted at the memory of her time in the Surrounding. She thought that she had overcome those memories... but no, they were merely suppressed. She looked at Europa and--Kallichore! She hadn't even seen the Madness Senshi arrive! Whatever her feelings--about the DMC, the BMC, everything... it had to be worse for the two of them. Not to mention Zirconia--present in the meeting, but too far away for the Senshi of Shame to comfort. Pasiphae wordlessly stood and offered both of the Senshi close to her a hand, the only support she could give if they needed it.

... except now that she had stood up, she felt very self-concious about doing so and not giving anything back to the group. So, she cleared her throat and offered, realizing that she was more affirming what Polaris had already mentioned but having nothing else to contribute. She certainly wasn't going to make any of her team speak on such a painful subject. "I remember... in the Surrounding, seeing a poweful princess--I assume it was Ares--corrupting the civilians up there. It was... she was ruthless. But... the only other Dark Moon Court member I've run into since then, some puppeteer of sorts, didn't seem to want to fight me. Like Polaris said, he was more... trying to convince me he didn't want to hurt me. I..."

Her voice broke for a second as she remembered how Remarque had kept his word. Had drained the homeless man, yes, but brought him to the shelter too. All a ploy designed to target her weakness. When she spoke again shame was evident in her tone, "I almost believed him, even after everything I saw. He was more powerful than me, and very convincing. So... I guess... just be extra careful."

Now that she had fumbled her way through the obvious, but certain that it was all the information she could provide, Pasiphae stopped speaking.







[Again, sorry that long post is long and overly introspective. xD; I probably won't be able to make another post until late this evening or tomorrow, as I have school work. But if someone quotes me to interact with Pasiphae, I promise I'll reply as soon as I can.]

Tsui, paying no attention to Juno and not once feeling the same sense of tension that others may have been feeling at this moment, had wondered if Pasiphae was talking about the same person that she was thinking of, and she wasn't afraid to bring this up.

"Yeah, I ran into a little silver-tongue like that before. His name was Super Sailor Remarque, and he was sickly sweet, but it was all a ruse in the end." Tsui knew that it was childish of her to hold such a grudge against him, but she never hated him. She felt that it was more of a rivalry, a goal for her to aim for, to get to his level and return the favor. It was certainly something to aim for, at least. "There was another member that just wanted to outright kill me, just because I was friends with someone here. Navi, that's her name. I've only run into two of them, but I'm sure there's more out there."

That last part was directed towards Ganymede's question, and she felt bad that she couldn't give him anymore intel than those two. But it was at least something.
