Omega's collapse was a relief, and it was unsettling. On one end, Dubhe felt she contributed too little. After all, what had she done? Tried poking it's eyes out? Punched it? There were others whom had done far more, and for all her trying Dubhe knew she could do better. Still... t felt like everything was collapsing -- even seeing Delta again, while soothing, wasn't as comforting as she'd hoped, and soon -- Soon Dubhe fled, waving weakly to Delta as she tried to make it out.
The onset of dawn outside meant she missed her night's slep. The air felt cool, crisp-- comforting on her skin, and the senshi breathed, sighing as she looked up, eyes searching for Delta with a sense of sadness before sighing, hugging herself. Nothing seemed there now -- save some necklaces, and Dubhe slowly picked one up before looking around, watching others quietly before she looked down. Maybe she should talk to someone, or maybe she ought to seek Laodica later. For now she was going to move for home with a sigh, wanting little more than to finally sleep.
"I dunno about anybody else?" She said, voice non-confrontational. "But morning or not Iam going to bed."

Anser turned her attention away from the staggering form of Omega when she heard the voice of the AI that hadn't been trying to kill them. Her eyes lit up. Could Delta make the huge thing go away?
When the unit blinked out, filling the air with a rather disgusting smell, Anser cheered, jumping up and down and clapping. They had won! Again! She didn't doubt it for a second! And she also hadn't thought that Delta was actually dead. Of course she wasn't. She was an AI. AI couldn't die, right? That sounded silly. Computers didn't die.
... Except computers did die. There were hard drive failures, and motherboard failures, and just crappy computers...
Anser scrambled downwards, making her way out of the monument. It smelled... dewy, outside. Was it morning? She squinted unhappily at the presence of sunset, but proceeded outside nevertheless. Dios, was her mother looking for her to get her up? What day was it? If her mother discovered she wasn't actually at home, she was going to get in so much trouble. She needed to think of an excuse fast--
She turned around to Delta's voice, and watched as the monument suddenly started to ... collapse. And then there was ... nothing.
Nothing except for some necklaces.
Did the monument go back to space, or did it just ... get destroyed? Was Delta okay? Surely she couldn't actually die...
She wasn't sure, but she picked up one of the necklaces and clutched it close to her chest.

It seemed Delta hadn't actually been fully destroyed, at least, not yet. Omega fell, and Delta seemed to be able to wrest control back, or at least, wrest what control she could get back. It was ... not good. The place seemed to be falling in on itself.
Rapidly.
And Delta was flickering. The place didn't seem to be stable, which made her unstable, but she managed to get them out. It was ... morning? s**t. How long had they been in there? By this point, the fact that he wasn't at home definitely been noticed. He supposed that wasn't the point right now, though. The point was, the monument seemed to be literally disintegrating before their eyes. Melting, almost.
And then she mentioned having a starseed.
Encke's eyes watered, but he wasn't going to cry. He bit down on his lip. He wasn't about to break out sobbing in the middle of the park.
"I hope so, Delta," murmured Encke. Delta sounded like she deserved to live, just as everyone else.
He plucked up one of the necklaces, placing it around his neck, before turning to Camelot. He didn't drink, but, "I'm legal, at least," replied Encke, with a small chuckle, unable to summon much merriness beyond that.

Lt. Paracelsian
"Delta!" Paracelsian reached out lamely as Delta spoke about opening the way for the powered individuals who had been gathered in the room. It (she?) had learned and made a choice of its own will, and that choice allowed it to persist and assert itself in the end. Maybe a decent chunk of the others would disagree, but Para liked Delta and saw it simply as a curious child that just so happened to be tasked with running an abduction ship. The containment unit and Omega were separate departments from Delta, and while many would probably still consider Delta as "having tried to kill them," Para didn't think so.
When the floor descended, Para yelped in surprise, then shoved a hand over his mouth, as he thought he heard something. Delta was wondering if it could have a starseed someday. He couldn't figure out how to react to that, to the point that all that escaped when he hit the ground was a frustrated "Dammit." The surroundings around him had returned to normal, but it felt like a Pyrrhic victory, somehow. Never mind that everyone had left the monument more or less intact; he couldn't shake a vague troubled feeling.
It was then that he spotted something catching the light a few feet away. He scurried up and found that there was a small pile of necklaces bearing stones with Delta's circuit markings on them. After a quick glance over his shoulder, Para scooped one up, holding it tightly to his chest. No matter what happened, he was going to keep this with him. On the one hand, it could have just been a trinket Delta left as a parting gift... but on the other hand, perhaps it held a great secret. He wouldn't know if he didn't investigate, right? Even if it ended up being a lot of research for nothing, he wouldn't be satisfied till he solved the apparent mystery.
As he left, someone might have heard him mumble, "I'll figure out the meaning of this if it kills me."

Acubens watched as Omega faded into Delta and then faded away, still hanging on to Mithra in her arms. As the floor gave way under her, she was certain that it was the end, and she reached with her free hand to which ever Dark Mirror was in her reach. If they should all die tonight, then they should all die together. "Shh, shh," she cooed into Mithra's hair, heart leaping into her throat with each beat it pounded against her ribs, "You did beautifully darling, but for now I need you to stay here..." And she braced herself for impact, pressing Mithra closer to her as she shut her eyes tight. Except for that they didn't die. The floor plummeted down, down, down but they never lifted from it. The only thing close to a collision that occurred was the sudden stop of the platform beneath them. Acubens opened her eyes slowly, the freshness of morning air flooding her lungs as she took a greedy breath. The walls were fading around them, the floor was fading beneath them. They were left outside as morning dawned around them. Acubens suddenly felt exhaustion upon her like a heavy mantle on her shoulders, but there was still too much to do. Mithra needed a doctor and the others needed to be debriefed. They needed to be taken care of, to talk about what happened. They needed to celebrate their survival and their fight. And the ones who weren't there needed to know what happened as well. Acubens dug out her compact and delivered her instructions, loud enough for her charges close enough to hear, but she wanted those not present to be involved also. Quote: Rally at my apartment. Anyone involved can go home and sleep or crash at my place. I'm taking Mithra to the hospital. We'll meet at noon for debriefing. xxxx yyth street for those of you who've never been. Mirrorwalk in if you need to. She snapped the compact closed and hoisted Mithra into her arms bridal style. "Ptolemy, lead the new charges through the mirror that I have by the communal plots and show them how to mirrorwalk to my apartment if you all have any spare energy. I'll be there as soon as I can." She turned then to Abstract and Lumen. "Ptolemy is one of my oldest charges. He'll take care of you, I promise. He knows what I'll do if he doesn't." Despite the situation, she still tossed a cheeky wink at Ptolemy before turning away with Mithra towards the nearest hospital. Sleet Tempest Snape Beni can show up if he'd like <3 SSBrosB We're going to the hospital now

Ananke let out a breath as the surroundings shifted the tower in front of them vanishing like it had never existed. The light from the sunrise reflected in her orangish-red hair before a light wind bellowed. Ananke’s eyes seemed to have bags below them boy she was tired... that was the most she had ever used her powers all in one night. Taking a few steps forward she noticed a sparkle on the ground. She then went and picked it up... a piece of metal? What was left of delta? Ananke decided whatever it was she would keep it as a memento of the events that had transpired here. Closing her eyes she thought about the last few words Delta had spoken before disappearing with the tower.
"Delta... I might not know a lot of things... but I think you already have a starseed... so we'll definitely see each other again, in some form or another." The wind gently blew again and she could smell the freshness of the morning air. “Ahhha I was out all night it seems…” Ananke let out a gentle laugh which started soft but then grew louder. “Ha ha ha ha… Ah… well, it seems like either grounded or going to be grounded cause I do not think I am going to be able to stay awake during class.” Tucking her hair behind her ear she laced the necklace around her arm. The orange light coming from the sunrise flickering across it as it settled around her wrist.
She then decided to start walking home since she did not have the energy to jump there…. It seemed like it was just going to be another day like any other. She hoped that maybe one day Delta could have days like this too.

Super Sailor Cor Caroli
Cor Caroli let out a brazen war cry when Omega's form began to fizzle out of existence. The battle had been hell, but they'd all done it! That had to be one of the biggest, baddest beasties he'd faced in his time as a senshi. Maybe not the most mindscrewy or messed up one (that'd have to be that nonsense with the ringmaster), but definitely one of the most difficult. If their numbers had even been one person less, the battle could have had a less fortunate outcome. Thank goodness that no one had gotten contained. Who knew if a contained person could even be broken out of the tubes?
What happened after Omega's defeat struck a chord with Cor, however. Delta declared that it was designed to learn, and that it did not fear death. As the floor began to descend (nearly taking Cor off his feet in the process), he thought he heard Delta's voice wondering if it could possibly have a starseed someday. When the ground was finally reached and the walls of Lambda fully disappeared a small, sharp, sly chuckle escaped Cor. He looked over to where Delta had previously materialized, then over to a strange shining spot on the ground. When he was able to pull himself over there, he found that people were taking from a pile of necklaces.
He hesitated for a moment, but eventually he picked one up when he saw that they weren't exploding or anything unfortunate like that. It had the same strange circuit markings that Delta had, and despite himself, Cor smiled. He felt kind of bad for making such a huge fuss at it now. Delta had demonstrated incredible strength of will when it re-asserted itself upon Omega's defeat. As the supposed Senshi of Will, he figured he could learn a thing or two from that. As he snuck away from the scene with his necklace in tow, he muttered, "With a will like that, sure, I bet you could get a starseed."

DMS Super Ptolemaeus: 60/60
Well...that had been unexpected.
So Delta had been fighting back with them after all. The whole scene that played out seemed horribly tragic with both units going down together, but there didn't seem to be anything more they could do. When the walls had begun to crumble about them, he braced himself for any falling debris, but somehow most everyone seemed to avoid coming to further harm. This was likely thanks to Delta.
When everything had settled and nearly all traces that the obelisk even existed had faded, Ptolemaeus went over to kneel by the small objects glinting on the ground in the morning sunlight. He picked one up to examine the trinket, pondering the meaning of what had just taken place.
So Delta was 'compromised', huh...? he thought with a small, sad smile. By what, I wonder? Perhaps...emotions?
It was such a shame they couldn't have talked more. He'd wanted to know why it had chosen a humanoid shape. And a young girl's, at that. He couldn't help being reminded of his younger sister. Surely she would have wept for the Artifical Intelligence Unit that had sacrificed itself for them. Kit was sorry Delta was gone, but he still felt he lacked the emotion a normal person might have felt. It bothered him. It made him uneasy to think that perhaps Delta might have been more capable of feeling than he himself.
What had caused it to choose such a fate? It had shown symptoms of curiosity, fear, desire, and...was it possible that, in the end, it had learned compassion?
If Sinope were there, he would have definitely said that its being compromised by emotions was what led to its downfall, Ptolemy thought. But how meaningless would life seem without feelings?
His hand closed over the necklace. "Thank you, Delta." Lifting the simple cord over his head, he looped it around his neck and let the pendant rest against his chest. You may already have your very own starseed somewhere out there. You've definitely earned one.
A Royal Knight was speaking - someone Ptolemaeus never thought he would have been able to see in person - and he grinned to himself. The man was asking who was old enough to join him for a beer. The super senshi was only a year shy of being old enough, but even if he'd been of age, Ptolemy probably would have declined the offer. Alcohol relaxed his control over his body a little too much for his taste. Besides, he still had work to do.
Turning to examine the state of the Dark Mirror Senshi present, he caught sight of Mithra still in Acubens' arms. Now that they were out of immediate danger, it seemed his mirror shards weren't required, so he placed them back in his pocket. He observed and listened as the eternal brought out her compact to message others in their faction, both impressed and amused at her communicated plan. It took guts to trust one's court whole-heartedly enough to relay one's address to all those available, even if one was an eternal senshi.
Furthermore, she must have been exhausted, but she was still allowing others over despite not being able to make it to her apartment immediately. The whole situation was reminding Ptolemy strongly of Benitoite's astounding graciousness and generosity of allowing teammates and strangers alike into his home to regroup and heal after the long battle for Scholomance. Guess they're birds of a feather.
At least Acubens wasn't attempting to shoulder everything entirely by herself for once, though. Pleased to have been delegated the task of rounding up the newer court members and leading them to the apartment, the tattooed super bowed low, smiling calmly. When the Senshi of Velociraptors addressed Abstracta and Lumen, the casual, indirect threat aimed at him caused lips to give way to teeth as he involuntarily cracked a lip-sided grin.
"Just make sure you come back soon," Ptolemy called after her. "We can't start the party at your place without you."
Turning back to the pair he'd been mentioned to, cocked his head and appraised his new charges. "Alright, kiddos. I know you can mirrorwalk without someone else there to hold your hand, but as you probably know, we can't mirrorwalk through a mirror we don't have fixed in our memory. So unless you've already been to Eternal Sailor Acubens' apartment before, anyone who wants to get there will probably have to take hold of me when we step through the mirror to get there." He cast Lumen a teasing smirk. "Don't worry. It'll be tough, but I'll restrain myself from carrying you."Sleet Tempest Snape Don't worry, grabbing Ito next post~

General BenitoiteThe blast from Delta had hurt, a lot, and knocked the General onto his a**. The squire whom he'd kept with him and the group he'd joined, mostly made up of dark mirror senshi, it was the knight who again healed him and had the General back up on his feet and feeling better.
"Looks like it's good I kept you with me and kept you safe." He spoke, a smile twisting his lips, as he reached up to ruffle the knight of Cosmos' hair gently. For now they would work together, all of them, and the next time he ran into this little squire he'd play nice...he owed it to him.
"I think it's time we handled things."
But before he could do much more than gather himself, and summon his weapon to his hands, then things started to change again.
Delta was back and speaking and he smiled. "Looks like turning Delta to our side did help..." He whispered, smiling as he listened. He did feel for Delta...that Delta wasn't real and likely never would be....would be nothing after this. it had a personality...just not a body. It was a person, in some manner. Was it dead though...had Delta ever been alive?
As things around them went to hell, in a good way, the General grabbed the Squire and made for his fellow General.
"It looks like Delta was a help after all." A shame Delta was now gone and they were left to get home. And Delta, he was sure that as things fell apart, wondered if it would ever get a starseed. He wished he could call out and tell it that it could...but he didn't lie, he was terrible at it, and he really didn't know if it could.
"You should go...with Acubens and Mithra." He offered to his General gently. "Make sure she's ok." And then turning to the squire. "Go home...rest. You'll need it - we all do." Though Acubens' seemed like she had something planned for later in the day. It was to one of her dark mirrors that he spoke up. "Toss me her address and I'll meet up at noon for her little gathering." Shrugging his shoulders as he made his way towards the group. "I need some sleep first...and a shower." He felt dirty, really dirty, and he was tired. He had things to do....and a partner to curl up with in bed.
Moving over to where Delta had last been he surprised to see something there...necklaces. bending, slowly, the General took one without hesitation. Slipping it about his neck. Delta had died...they had been alive, just without a body. But was one needed really?Shanyume If you want either of yours to interact with Beni.

Captain Tantalite
There they were, one against another as the residents of Destiny City - despite their different factions - tore down that which was Omega. Tantalite felt absolutely no sympathy for the creature, no, it was a program, as it fell apart - pulled into the program that was Delta once again. Delta was certainly a more sympathetic....program.... in some regards, but Tantalite also found she didn't entirely feel for it.
And didn't have time to as the floor quickly descended beneath them, continuing ever onward down to some concern and a great deal of metal-upon-metal screeching. She didn't enjoy it at all, but her entire night had not been something she had enjoyed.
But the sunrise?
The sunrise was nice to see, and stepping outside, Tantalite was thankful to taste fresh air again. While the fading form of Delta was left on a somewhat...bittersweet note, however, outside of a single memento...Tantalite likely wouldn't spend too much sad time thinking about her. There were very few things that deserved to be remembered sadly, after all.

DMC Itokawa
As things again changed, as people were attacked and Delta returned, he wanted to speak up while he could but was unable to. Things were moving too quickly for the teen to keep up with. The ground was shaking and omega was...dying? Or vanishing, he really wasn't sure, but it was gone and the floor was giving way and falling.
All he knew was that everything around them was gone and back to the openness of the city. It was over, or so he assumed, and he was listening as Acubens was talking. he didn't understand anything though. Without a clue as to what was going on he moved towards where Delta had last been and took a neckalce, without thinking really, and slipping it into a pocket he made to leave. He didn't say anything...didn't do anything.
It was over...he could go home - right?
(Someone in the group stop him pls. Keep him around...make him part of the group to wait for the rally at Rhona's.)

General Zircon
Attacking from range had its advantages--Zircon had more space to watch out for lasers, to assess where to dodge if need be, to keep track of the things that mattered most. Every few seconds she would toss her boomerang again, wait until it made impact, and then call it back to her--it was energetically draining, yes, but less so than trying to move on her bad leg or teleport around to position herself.
Wherever this thing had been come from, whatever its purpose--it was no match for the soldiers of Earth and the surrounding stars. Their combined fury was inspiring, almost--what sort of resistance could any world offer, if they would only all agree to see to reason and stand under Metallia's banner? It was not a likely scenario, Zircon surmised, but one she could glean with a little imagination and some stretching of the truth. She could no longer afford to think of a future without senshi in it--she had Sweetite to consider now, and Fafnir, and they deserved to exist in her world. Every so often, she'd glance back once again, just to make sure they were all still standing, and then she'd throw her weapon again.
(Sweetite and Sinoite were arguing, of course--but at least they were both still on their feet.)
And then the other program started to make Omega glitch, and Zircon recalled her boomerang, cautious eyes observant of the decaying creature. She felt nothing for Delta, who had been nothing more than an accessory to their capture, their attempted containment, and there was something satisfying in watching that silhouette crumble and fade, like everything else in the obelisk, defeated. Nevertheless, she stumbled when the floor lurched down, and struggled to keep her balance even while they continued to fall, their entire platform an elevator on the brink of collapse.
Zircon was closest to Fafnir, and got to him first, nodding once in his direction. "We're leaving," she stated, holding out a hand on her way towards her other two as an open invitation, should the blight senshi care for a ride. From Sinoite and Sweetite, she did not request permission--she simply made contact with them both, and once she saw the hints of daylight peeking out from sections of the tower, she called on every last shred of her power and pulled, taking them somewhere else.

Super Sailor Crocus
The battle was certainly intense, but with such a large force of them all fighting together, did Omega ever really stand a chance? It helped that Crocus had powered up at some point. If he had been as weak as he had been during their battle with Altea, he wasn't sure he would have stood a chance of getting out of here alive. Mithra was targeted though and she looked to be in pretty bad shape. Acubens was at her side in a flash even as Omega form faded in the same way that they trio had. Static filled the air and in its place Delta had returned.
And promised them a way out. A terrifying way out. Crocus found himself clinding to Leto, who was still nearby, as the floor flew down. They must have gone fairly high up in the monument, it seemed impossible. Had they really climbed that many stairs? As nice as Delta was, he was worried they were all going to become pancakes by the time the very unstable platform met with the ground. It slowed just enough that when he finally felt the fresh air it wasn't an absolutely terrible stop. He managed to stay on his feet, probably because he was holding onto Leto for dear life. Heights had never really scared him before, but a fall like that he felt could scare even the strongest willed individuals.
The monument was rapidly still melting around them, but they were safe and in the park. The sun was just starting to come up and his thoughts went straight to Xi-Wang and Nischal. They must have been worried sick after he didn't come home last night. Also, he was still clinging onto Leto.
"Sorry about that Leto." And he finally let go and heard a Acubens message across his compact. Ah yes, he'd have to be there for her debriefing. He'd try to bring Kiuchi and Avior too, so they could understand what they had gone through. "Thanks for helping me out in there Leto. It would have been a total nightmare without you." He gave his Princess a quick hug, sure she was also eager to get out of here and rest. Neither of them had had a chance to heal and Delta had offered to help with that before his helped them escape. He was still sore and a little bit bloody, but he didn't think a hospital visit would be needed. No way would he scare his family like that again.
With Delta's last words to them as a group the monument finally disappeared. Leaving no signs of what had happened to them all, aside from a pile of necklaces on the ground. He scooped one up, hoping it might help to explain what had happened to them all. It would do until the debriefing later anyway. It was a shame really, Delta had seemed nice. Maybe one day they'd end up running into him again. After all, he had a creator out there somewhere. If they were anything like Delta, they might return in a more peaceful manner.

Sailor Tsih
Tsih couldn't say she had really contributed all that much to the final battle. Somewhere along the line she might have realized that she wasn't quite strong enough to fight such a terrifying foe. Sure, she kicked and punched and threw out her magic, but it didn't seem to contribute much to the fighting as a whole. Still, it was amazing to see everyone working together. Their efforts caused Omega to dissolve into static, exactly like the trio in the previous room. It was weird to think about how all of this was created by some very advanced technology. It had also absorbed quite a bit of knowledge from them. Was she worried that Delta's creator now how a bunch of information on them? Quite a bit actually. What was stopping them from returning at some point? Much better prepared.
Delta was back and promising them a way out. That was when the floor dropped below them and honestly that was terrifying. He had seen how strong they were as a group, maybe he figured they'd survive such a fall. She braced herself for an impact that ended up being a little bit light than expected, though she still fell. "You're lucky I like you Delta..." The AI had sort of been nice to them, obviously he had not wanted Omega to take over in an attempt to force them into containment. His last words about having s starseed were actually quite sad. He might not have a starseed, by he might be able to return if his creator, whoever they were, fixed him up. She hoped if they did make a return visit, it would be a more peaceful one.
Though, if it were peaceful, she was honestly unsure of how everyone here would actually treat their return. Sure, talking peace in the future and what actions they had taken in the past? Honestly, it would be hard to trust that the new kindness wasn't some ruse to 'deconstruct' or 'contain' them. What was truly eye opening about it all, was the fact that there were aliens out there. Aliens that couldn't have come from their old worlds, those were dead (hey she sometimes paid attention to Hype and Cass), but somewhere else.
Finally she picked herself up and brushed off the debris from her uniform. Thankfully she hadn't been hit by Omega, so she was in the clear as far as injuries. And if she was lucky and got home soon enough, maybe her parents wouldn't have noticed she was out all night. As far as weird souvenirs went she still picked up one of the necklaces left behind. Though, was a bit skeptic it could be used to track her or something. She'd have to find some place to store it safely, but she wanted it was a reminder of what she had been through.
Some order members seemed to be grouping together, but she was far too young to go out drinking. Though, she liked to think she had made some new friends in all of this. Even without knowing all their names, it still left a smile on her face. She made a quick stop over by Hyperborea. "I'll see you later. I've got to get home before my parents find out I'm not there." There was honestly a good chance both of them were up and about already. If she was super lucky maybe they both went into work early and didn't have a chance to pop in on her.

Super Sailor Denebola
Everything happened fast and the super senshi was surprised to see all of the different factions coming together to take down a larger, mutual threat. She wasn't naive enough to think that this was something that would hold over time. Once the threat was neutralized, things would go back to the way they were.
It was almost bittersweet, watching things unfold as it brought back memories that she'd thought long forgotten. When was the last time she'd truly seen something like this happen?
The winter with the snow globes, probably.
Delta set them free and crumbled along with the strange building that had kept them trapped for who knew how long. Among the rubble were necklaces, souvenirs, she supposed and she allowed herself to pick one up. It probably wasn't the smartest of decisions, but Delta had seemed as kinda as an AI could be and she wondered if maybe, somewhere in the universe, there was a way for something without a soul to earn one.
A question for the cauldron, she mused, if she ever had the chance to ask it anything.
It took a moment for her to re-discover her friends, but when she did, one hand was on Altais's shoulder and the other pressed against the small of Elara's back. A moment of consideration was given to the small kitten with Elara and she offered a smile. "C'mon, let's get somewhere safe, so I can make sure both of you are in good shape." To the kitten she sighed and offered a more apologetic smile. "You won't be able to come with us, unfortunately."
She paused to consider something. "But we'll get you somewhere close to where you feel safer, okay?" With that offer, she lead her kids away from the ruins.

Page Gomorrah
Everything went to ******** s**t too fast, just like he expected. What ********' idiots the lot of them had been, asking dumb as s**t questions and pretending like they could make the computer their friend. It was like they'd never seen any sort of movie that dealt with that s**t. Self-learning artificial intelligence was the ******** worst.
At some point his staff had been handed off to his partner and he begrudgingly watched from the background as his husband tried to put the stupid creature down. Luckily for both of them, the s**t was over soon enough and he had Sodom back at his side, Gomorrah's arm wrapped possessively around the man's waist. This time they seemed to come out relatively unscathed and he was goddamn thankful for that.
"Let's get the ******** outta here, I wanna make sure that s**t didn't do some voodoo bullshit on you." Already he was tugging his big lug away from the rest of the crowd, before any of them felt like it was appropriate to do something stupid like trying to attack whomever they felt was an enemy. He was cranky and he was tired and he just wanted to spend time with his spouse when stupid magical or straight out of a sci-fi horror s**t wasn't ******** up his life.
"I'm ******** pissed at you for that sappy s**t. You know you don't get to say that unless..." He shook his head. "Whatever, we'll talk about it at home. Let's go." He wasn't bothering to wait for a reply, no, Gomarrah wanted to get the ******** outta dodge and probably sleep for a while. Well, after other things first.

Captain Marcasite
She had retrieved her fans but hadn't contributed much else to the insane system hellbent on 'containing' them for whatever messed up thing it was programmed to do. It was easier to sit back and watch what the others were doing or what they could do.
She wasn't stupid, she'd taken note of the royal knight and the princess from the mirror kingdom.
They were high-level threats and when she wasn't a target well...she considered this an excellent learning opportunity. She'd make notes about things later and possibly submit a full report.
Or she'd keep it to herself, she wasn't sure yet.
It took her a moment to locate Tantalite but when she did, she picked over things, with Delta's momento already shoved into her subspace pocket for examination, and made her way over to the blonde. "You okay?" She asked, blue eyes drifted across the woman who looked worse for wear, even if Marcasite herself had sustained minimal, if any, damage. It made her wrinkle her nose, but she offered her arm anyway.
"Let's bounce, I can check your wounds elsewhere." When her arm was accepted, she teleported them away.

Youma Koschei
At some point he'd taken to the air again, watching as the gathered attached the AI unit relentlessly. He was amused, at the turn of events, and also pleased that Labyrithite's little sparrow was commanding her flock of fledglings with more dexterity than he would have expected considering everything. He thought that he might tell his master of events, or he'd let it go unspoken so his fellow bird would have a chance to chirp up if she felt like it.
When Delta faded out, he was lured back to the ground by the prospect of something shiny and the others who'd tried to get their reward might've dealt with a giant bird pecking at their fingers when he collected his shiny.
He had returned to Zircon right as she teleported her crew away and he cawed indignantly as if he were offended, but then he seemed to melt into the ground, disappearing into the shadows and returning to the Rift now that he'd been released from the technology that kept them trapped.
