The page had followed Adira and Cassiopeia into the next room and looked around. "Oh man I wish I'd brought my scarf, robe and wand. I always wanted to go to wizardy and magic school!" Odain seemed dazzled by the room's appearance and half wondered if she could find the butterbeer that had to be clearly making the room smell this good.
She paused at the note as she read it, "Making new memories or sharing old ones?" The cosmos page looked around and then back to Adria and Cassiopeia.
"Well. . . . I was working the Ren Faire a few years ago, playing a fae; of course." She said this like it was evident she would being playing faes. "Anyawys, I was telling this group of kids a story, and when I finished I noticed one kid was dressed as a fairy and just staring at me all enamored right?"
There was another pause, "Ya'see I obviously make a very convincing fae what with the hair, throw on some glitter, and all that right? So I got to talking to her and her parents, and one of the things she wanted for her birthday was to be a Fairy princess." She smiled, "I managed to pull a few strings and got her honorary Fairy Princess when it came time for her birthday. Thankfully the ren fest was still open."
"Honestly, it kind of makes me want to be one of those party princesses anytime I think about it."
She looked at the other two, "What about you guys?"

Adria / Red Door / hasn't chosen a second yet
Adria glanced around uncertainly, trying to familiarize himself with the area. Making new memories was one thing, but sharing others? If Adria could help it, he didn't like to share too much.
"That sounds like a lot of fun," he said, forcing a brief smile at Odain when she shared her story. He crossed his arms over his chest and glanced between the two girls he had paired up with. "...I don't...know what sort of memory to share, I'm sorry. I don't know if I even have anything interesting. I live a really, really boring life."
The anxiety was back, a fear of being judged, but he tried to play it off. It was a stupid fear, he told himself that, but it just kept biting back at him.
Any memory? Could he have shared what he'd eaten for breakfast, the last test he'd passed, his favorite cat picture? That seemed noninvasive and simple--and also, seriously lame. He didn't think any of those things would count, and for some reason felt pressured to share some deep, dark secret of a memory.
Only, he blanked.
Trying not to stumble over his own words, he gestured to Cass. "Uhm, you can go next, if you want? And, uhm--what door should we think about?" he asked; truthfully, he didn't care which door, he was just trying to buy time to scrape together a memory worth sharing.
As Scylla linked arms with her and tugged her through the magenta door Myrrha grinned. The explanation of what Scylla held was interesting to get answers to. Her tone was excited when she spoke, "that is so neat. I wish I could come and go." In the back of her mind Myrrha had found it worth her time in coming up here; it had seemed like a really great idea. She was still mentally congratulating herself on a choice well made until examining the new color scheme in the room that she found herself in. Raising her free hand to shield her eyes Myrrha grimaced. What was going on? Was blinding the participants part of a bigger plan? Closing her eyes against the harsh, vibrant colors was all Myrrha could do in order to hear Scylla mention that poem writing was involved.
Wincing briefly she peeked through her fingers at the note that was pinned between the two doors before closing her eyes and thinking hard. Remembering all who had come through with them into this room Myrrha made her selection. "I am okay if you want to compose a poem about me Scylla. I think I have my selection made."
Perhaps it was strange, composing a poem on the spot but Myrrha was up to the challenge. Just perhaps the individual would appreciate the effort made Myrrha smile.
"Noble creature With fur sleek poise; graceful, refined instincts honed to perfection in truth; simply put beauty defined. Greatest of hunters a mind; all your own Sent perhaps to guide us and our power you help to hone."
Myrrha thought that the poem was adequate enough. All the words were true and spoken from the heart.

Minkowski | forest door | ??
The next room they entered was pretty enough, just like the previous room they had went to, but technically, Minkowski was here to play a game, not admire the scenery. In a way, she wished she was here just to sightsee, though, because when she read the next note, the petite girl started to feel anxious again. Complimenting someone was enough enough for her to do among those she knew, normally, and Minkowski was a polite enough person usually anyway, but...
Here, she was among strangers, and being put on the spot like this didn't help, either. So far, she'd gotten by with minimal social interaction, but now... maybe it would be best to bow out and return home. Maybe it was too soon to try to get back into powered life as a senshi.
Looking around the room, Minkowski hoped that she didn't look too panicked as she tried to figure out who to talk to.
Relieved at seeing that she seemed to be having better luck with Caliban compared to the other senshi whom she tried approaching earlier, Dallol gave a nod to acknowledge Caliban's admittance that he was new to all this. "You didn't say... so how long has it been since you awakened? Has anyone managed to go through with you some of the things that you should be mindful of out there?" Given the circumstances of her own awakening, she had spent almost an entire month being ignorant, confusing who were supposed to be her friends and foes, and she would really hate for another Senshi or Knight to go through what she did.
Seeing that the forest door was now open and free for them to pass through it, she gestured towards it, intent on waiting for Caliban to start towards it before following likewise alongside with a warm smile. "Pleasure's all mine Caliban. I've never been here before so I thought I'll give it a shot. Meet some new faces while exploring Celsus' Wonder at the same time."
Cadmus laughed lightly. "Ahh, it's okay," he said. "I've had my fair share of bumps and bruises as a chibi. That was nothing." To the kitten, he added, "Of course."
Seeing as much of the red door's group was moving on, Cadmus fell in step with them. In the next, he was glad the challenge proved a little easier than the previous one.
"A memory, huh?" Cadmus said as he read the note on the table. "I'm... not sure which would be good. I have a lot, I guess. How about you, Arsinoe?" He turned to the older man. "Or Sumi? Anything interesting on your mind?"
Sailor Altair [She is open for interaction and is teamed up with Alphubel.]
She gave a bright nod in agreement with Alphubel. "The note on the ceiling also mentioned there being keys over the door," Altair commented with gentle enthusiasm in response to her teammate's words. "Perhaps we can brave a climb of of the bookshelves like stairs to get our hands o-" As she moved with an upbeat spring to her handful of steps while addressing him, her excitement to be exploring Celsus in this group event was more apparent and she actually almost bumped into Castor. "Oh," she abruptly halted her motions before impact and gave an apologetically embarrassed smile with her slight nervous bow to go with her next words, "my my apologies." She turned her flustered gaze to taking in her current position but then her whirling mind paused in surprisingly focusing on a somewhat familiar form, "Paris, i-is-?" In the few curious strides she took suddenly, her feet seemed to have a mind of her own. And, she nearly again got into another collision, this time barely missing Spacewatch. "Um, o-oh, um," her gaze alternated between Spacewatch standing before her and where she thought she had seen Paris from a distance in this room (she encountered Paris during the memorable drop into darkness in a war in Negaspace); and then, her gaze went on to transition to swinging between Alphubel, Castor, and Spacewatch, "B-because the more the merrier, p-perhaps if if y-you are both also considering your next route to be the red door like we are, you can work with Alphubel and me as a team of four if you'd like and we can puzzle about how to get to the keys above the door?" In her mind though, she also went on to inwardly say to herself wordlessly: And perhaps for these next few seconds I'll stand still so that when I move next I'll hopefully have a lesser likelihood of unwittingly pulling individuals into a successful bumper car crash impersonation with me.

If you have chosen the PINK door:
This particular room is triangular in size, with two bookshelves bracketing the angled walls, and a set of comfortable looking chaise lounges against the flat wall that makes up the base of the triangle. The wallpaper is the palest pink, shot through with pinstripes of white, and the border along the ceiling is an elegant twist of white architecture in shapes of flowering vines.
Two doors stand next to the bookshelves: one is red, the other is brown. They are extraordinarily tall, oddly so, looking stretched beyond reasonable door height.
Hanging from the ceiling with a length of string is a note that reads:
In order to pass through these doors, you must find a partner and retrieve the keys that are atop each door in some way or another. There should be a key for every person. No magic allowed! Have fun! -C
OOC: IN ORDER TO MAKE A CHOICE YOU MUST ALL FIND A PARTNER! If there is an odd number of people, feel free to make groups of 3 or double up with other people! Everyone must come up with a way to retrieve the keys atop the doors before they can pass through. There is no wrong way of going about this! Just have fun coming up with a plan! Once you have acquired a key, you are free to pass through to the door of your choosing.
YOUR CHOICES:
Please post in BOLD RED at the top of your post if you pick the RED door!
Please post in BOLD PERU at the top of your post if you pick the BROWN door!
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!
YOUR CHOICES:
Please post in BOLD CHARTREUSE at the top of your post if you pick the CHARTREUSE door!
Please post in BOLD GREEN at the top of your post if you pick the GREEN door!

AlphubelRed Door He eagerly shook her hand, though he hoped he wasn't being too overly excited. "Awesome! This is going to be great!" He replied after shaking her hand. He looked around the room a bit, wondering where the key could be hidden. "This place is quite amazing though. It might be hard to find it. Though if we can get some more people, that would be good too." He didn't mind if it was just the two of them, but if they didn't manage to get anyone else, well at least it shouldn't be too hard?

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.

CalibanForest Door to Indigo door if Dallol goes Caliban shrugged his shoulders a bit as he went through the door and moved to the side to let others in. "Well, not really. I've been a senshi for a little under a month. Mostly been trying to fight agents when I see them but... Can't say all of those fights have been successful." He replied, taking a look at the new room they were in. He had practically been thrown into all of this with barely any training. He really should talk to someone about all of this.
"I've heard I can do some things, but haven't been told anything specific. I just know that the negaverse is bad and that's it." He had been taught how to fight a bit by some others, but he really didn't know the role of a senshi otherwise. He smiled at her a bit. "I haven't really had a chance to meet a knight yet, so you're the first one I've been able to talk to. And it's good to see who all is here. It'll be easier to recognize them out on the field later then." He paused a bit, realizing that he was being quite chatty about himself, something that he usually wasn't. And he didn't want to be rude to the only person talking to him right now. "What about you? How long have you been doing all of... this? And, sorry if this may seem like an obvious question, but what kind of knight are you? I've heard that there were different ones, but I'm not sure what they meant by that."

AlphubelRed Door to... ? Alphubel smiled a bit at Altair's clumsiness, though he was glad someone who knew more of the people in here was teamed up with him. He was pretty much completely knew and had barely met anyone, so he hoped to learn a bit more about the others staying with her. Well, that and perhaps if more people teamed up with them, then he would make a few more White Moon acquaintances. Though he couldn't help but ask Altair a bit quietly, "Are you all right?" After she had bumped into all of those people.
Sailor Altair [She is open for interaction and is teamed up with Alphubel.]
Altair momentarily chuckled sheepishly then responded gratefully to Alphubel with a wordless nod of her head smilingly. Then, she spoke again as her gaze moved to Spacewatch and Castor as well. "Oh," she began in mild surprise upon a realization striking her for another suggestion, "an an additional consideration to the option of scaling the bookshelves is to take something that's rather lengthy perhaps in the event that pushing, pulling, or both actions may need to be directed at what's on top of the door for acquisition. Please feel free to specify option preferences, I am game for any course of action really."

Chibi Lepus | red door | team chibi
Lepus couldn't remember the last time she'd watched any of the Harry Potter movies, but she understood what Megumi was speaking of, and so she nodded. "Yeah, it kinda does, doesn't it?" she remarked, as they made their way further into the next room. While Megumi read the note at the next set of doors, Lepus started to inch towards the chairs, before decidedly sitting down in the first available chair that wasn't empty.
"Share memories, huh?" Lepus contemplated, wondering, "I wonder if there's any specific memory we have to share, or if we can just share any memory?"
Irkalla had been concentrating on opening the door when Aquila mislabeled her as being a senshi. As Aquila passed her and moved through the now open door the page sighed before entering into the room after the Senshi of Eagles. Irkalla had been wondering just how many books were in this place. To think a library such as this existed. Just what sort of topics were covered here. The need to actually peer at the contents inside drove Irkalla to reach for a random book and, treating it reverently, open it to examine the pages within. More people had followed through the door behind them and with a gentle sigh Irkalla closed the book and placed it back into position on the shelf. It was time to get back to work again it seemed. The Cosmos Page studied the two doors before reading the note left by their host. So something kind had to be said to another person in the room. Irkalla fought the urge to approach Aquila and instead set her sights on another senshi. The senshi plainly appeared panicked. Sensing that perhaps she could use a friend Irkalla made her way towards the senshi with a butterfly's coloration and held out a free hand.
"Hey, are you alright?"

Eternal Scylla || Blue-> Magenta -> Chartreuse || Open to Interact!
It was nice having someone to commiserate with her regarding Celsus' awful color scheme, and honestly, Scylla was growing more and more concerned with what lay between the other doors. Maybe she should- no, she'd stick with green. Surely it couldn't be.... well. She wouldn't' jinx herself.
As Duhr loudly recited her poem, Scylla laughed. It was flattering, to say the least! Honestly, though, she couldn't say how smart she was.
Myrrha had recited about the Mauvian, and Duhr had recited about the lovely knight... Scylla did notice one thing that amused her about two others in the room, and she leaned in.
Those two are alike / Costumes, both of icy theme / Kind of amusing Chances of such things / Seem more common with this life / Than with the mundane It could be nothing / If it gets cold, we know why / Did you bring your coat?
It was a stupid three-verse haiku, but the senshi of the Kraken nodded between Lich and Polydeuces, amused enough by their oh-so-minor similarities to compare upon it... for three verses.
Sailor Arsinoe / Chosing the Chartreuse door / Interacting with Sumi and Cadmus
Once they were through the red door and into the next room he raised a brow. The place felt nice, the sort of room he'd like to have if he ever had the money for it. "... do you smell candy?" He was surprised by the sweet smell. Thinking on it though that would be the sort of thing a grandparent had around and the room looked like the sort that a rich grandparent in a movie would have.
"I can't say I have many good ones, at least not that i tend to dwell on." He usually remembered the bad memories over the good ones for some reason. "There is always the Chicken youma though. One of the first I fought ... there were a lot of fried chicken jokes going around between myself and Sailor Corvus. We still patrol the park where we fought it regularly too."
And the jokes hadn't stopped either.
--------------------------------------
Mauvian Sumi / Chosing the Chartreuse door / Interacting with Sumi and Cadmus
"I ... don't really have any. I mean not that I can think of." The kitten scrunched his nose as he tried to think of something. "Everything's recent. But Arsinoe does like to get tea in the morning and he scratches my head while he catches up on the news. Is that a good enough memory?"

Super Sailor Cadmus || Red Door -> Green Door || Interacting with Sumi and Arsinoe
Cadmus muffled a laugh behind the tips of his fingers, finding the array of which youma could be ridiculous. "Oh man, how I wish I had been there," he said. "That sounded ridiculously fun." He also nodded his head to Sumi. "That's definitely some good news! The life of a guardian cat sure sounds great~"
For himself, well, he had to think on it. The most recent of his memories was related to his asteroid, Cadmus, but the teen didn't want to babble on more about. Chaos would strike again by the time he finished. Instead, Cadmus said, "Would it be cliche to say this is one of my happier memories? I've been having a lot of fun, heh! ...But if I have to be honest, the time when I really started to make friends in Destiny City has to be it. I moved here about a year ago and hated it, thinking I left all my friends behind. But then I came to discover life in DC is actually ten times funner than at my old place, so I'm not such a Debbie Downer anymore."
Cassiopeia | Red > Chartreuse | With Adria and Odain
She couldn't help but give a squeal of delight at the red room, clapping her hands in glee. "I'm totally Ravenclaw, wonder if there's a room for each common room somewhere? That'd be awesome!" She was definitely going to pester Odain about what other sorts of costumes she had. Not to mention if she had any con or Halloween plans.
Cassiopeia listened to the knight's memory with a happy smile on her face, rocking back and forth on her heels a little. "That's so sweet that you were able to do that for her, probably the best birthday she'd ever had." Adria's hesitance to share a memory made her smile falter a bit, sending him a quick, sympathetic look. "Oh um... yeah sure! Um... a memory..." She bit at her lip a little, brow furrowing as she tried to think.
What would be good to share? She didn't... really have much, either. "My life's pretty boring too, really... um..." Her gaze lingered back on Adria, and heat rose in her cheeks. "Well... before I awoke as a senshi, I was walking around one evening, right? Normal, but then I saw this weird light, and when I followed it... I met this guy, who was in this really awesome costume, and he told me he was new to being a senshi... and definitely was not one of those terrorists the news was always going on about. And he was really, really awesome, and gave me a lot of really good information, so when I awoke, I had more of an idea of what was going on... and then I got to hang out with him again as a senshi! So. I mean. Long-winded, but... thank you for giving me such a good memory, Adria. You really helped me out."
She wasn't sure if he'd suddenly recognize her as that civilian he talked to a while back, but she looked at the doors quickly. "Bright green?"
"How's this, you show me your world, and I'll show you mine after?" She grinned to him, though wasn't sure it was the best thing to offer. "Haven't gone to my world yet... so I really don't have any advice on what to do, or really don't know what to expect myself... Hell, this is my first time off the planet."
Morgan winced a little at the honesty, but didn't hurt to say it. Besides... she was a bit worried about Caia, with how nervous he seemed on the subject. "I severely doubt you did anything wrong. Try not to stress over it, ok? You'll see, s**t'll work out," she offered gently, nudging his arm a little with her hand, grinning.
The change of subject, and scenery in the new room, made her snort. "Purple door works for me," she got out, before clamping her mouth shut and feeling a tinge of color come over her face. Well s**t. Pushing on a smile, she laughed and tossed an arm around his shoulders, giving him a quick hug. "You're a sweetheart, y'know that? I think you don't give yourself enough credit. It's ok to be afraid of s**t that's new and weird, and it's ok to not get something right the first time... but the fact you're doing all this stuff? As a senshi? I mean... it takes a lot of strength to do this sort of stuff. You'll find your way." She gave his shoulders another squeeze before releasing him, hoping she hadn't... stepped a boundary for what she said.
But it counted as something nice, right? And hell. There was something about him. Hard to not feel the need to boost his spirits a bit if she could.
