He purposefully didn’t bring attention to the subject that Themiscyra seemed to want to bring up later, but instead focused on trying to stay out of the way as she threw her weapon up to get down the key, and once they were down, head through the door.
Of all the rooms, Valhalla felt as though he liked this room the best. It was similar to what he would see on Valhalla, at least. Or even one of the studies at his grandparent’s house. Either way, he liked it and felt relaxed even if everyone else might think it was a bit too stiff.
“I’ll figure out how to beat this,” he said softly to himself as he lifted a hand to his chest after reading the note. He wasn’t talking about the game that Celsus had made up for everyone, but knew he had to figure out some way to get things back to normal for himself. There had to be a way, it was just a matter of figuring it out.
He lifted his eyes to smile softly at Themiscyra and nodded towards the green door. “I’m partial to green. If you can’t tell.”

Dallol is heading to the indigo door after the forest door
The next room that both Dallol and Caliban headed into was beautiful. Circular with curved bookshelves as if they were in a bubble or sphere, the glass on the window frosty with sunlight peeking through the silver curtains like one would find on a chilly wintry morning. "That's fine since you've only just started being a senshi. With time, you'll get better and stronger." She encouraged, taking a moment to read the note that Celsus had left them before returning her attention to Caliban again.
"Even if there comes a day when you get to be as strong as Celsus, do not take unnecessary risks unless you have to. There is no point to all this if you perish or become crippled in the end." She was speaking from personal experience of course. It was better to caution someone who was new to all this about the realities of what they face lest they got carried away and thought themselves invulnerable because of their newfound powers.
"Dallol, Squire of Uranus, at your service. She did a little curtsy with a grin, quickly waving off the apology that really wasn't necessary in her opinion. ”It's ok. I've been a knight for close to 4 years now yet I myself am also clueless as to how many different knights are there. It seems like they might have something to do with the planets because I've met Camelot who's from Earth, Valhalla from Jupiter and Corinth from Neptune. But I'm not really sure to be honest since it's not like we all got an instruction manual at the point of our awakening to answer any of the questions that we might have had if you know what I mean.” She laughed, pausing for a bit to gather her thoughts.
”I just want you to know that I really appreciate you putting up with me here today. It has been a while since I powered up and socialised with the very few others whom I know, my own fault really with high school graduation and college entrance and all, but I'm really glad that I got to meet someone nice like you today and I'd like it very much if we could be friends even after this… thing is over.” She hardly knew anyone with how inactive she had been and her tendency to keep to herself even when she was around, but hopefully she could change that bit by bit from today on.

I nodded off before I could tag you last night. So sorry for the late tag… Orz
Super Sailor Phact Blue Door > Forest Door > Orange Door
Into the next room she went. And as she did so, Phact had to smile at the area. Everything about this wonder seemed unique and special. Not to mention the fact that Celsus had put so much into designing this little game.
"Something nice?" She quoted, suddenly debating when girl scout cookie season was.
Looking around, Phact noticed several females speaking but couldn't help herself. Over to a woman who looked like a butterfly she went and gently tapped her on the shoulder. "Excuse me. I'm so sorry to interrupt but I just had to say what a great color that is on you. Really brings out your eyes."
Smiling, she glanced at the others around and nodded. "I'm Sailor Phact. A pleasure to meet you all."

Sailor Zeta Corvi| Pink Door > Brown Door > Indigo Door
In silence she had watched him summoned his staff. The act itself had made Zeta's jaw slack just slightly but she nodded when he got the key and followed to the next room.
"A good deed?" She quoted, glancing at it and then back towards the man beside her.It drew a little smile from her as she hummed the tune from Wicked before catching herself and blushing. "Sorry."
"That is so sweet of you. I'm sure she will love that." Zeta smiled but then realized she needed to say something. Anything. But what? A good deed? "I'm uh...going to try and...uh..." The words were not coming to her. Her mother? Of all people?
"I'm going to bake my father a cake....maybe buy one if it turns out poorly." She flushed, happy to glance at the door.
"That would be fine. It's a good color."

Sailor Skadi // Blue > Forest > Orange // with Oberon and Oort
This entire place was absolutely incredible and it seemed like every room through every door that they passed through was more extravagant than the last. Skadi secretly wondered to herself if her own homeworld was even the tiniest bit as amazing as this place. Her attention was stolen by the tall brunette boy as he leaned against the wall and grinned down at her.
And then he told her he thought she was pretty and her heart fluttered and a flush rushed across her cheeks. She wasn't entirely sure how to react when a boy complimented her so she took a breath, grinned at him and replied with a simple, "thank you," and a touch to his forearm to show her sincerity.
Skadi didn't want to seem too into him though because it would be totally uncool so instead of telling him that she thought he was great she chose to compliment her new friend.
"Oort, you seem really nice and I'm glad to have met you. I hope we can be friends after all of this!"
She smiled at him, then nodded in agreement with Oberon. "Orange sounds perfect." And after a few very brief moments of thought she leaned in and went onto her tip-toes to whisper to Oberon, "and I'm glad to have met you too," then she waltzed on over to the orange door.

Eternal Corvus || pink >> brown >> INDIGO
"I think that Celsus is fond of musicals back on Earth," she teased before softly humming a bit of the song from Wicked while looking around the room. She very much wanted to run her hand along one of the wooden shelves. She wanted to draw one of the books down and flip through the pages while nestled comfortably in a corner. This room, out of the others that she had wandered through so far, reminded her of the Knight Celsus the most.
"Sometime after all of this is over, I am going to spend the evening patrolling in the park-- If we're split up you should meet me there." She nudged Aegir lightly. "I tend to bring snacks when me when I'm patrolling the park. It makes conversations easier to come by."
Sailor Arsinoe / Pink >Red >Chartreuse / Interacting with Sumi and Cadmus
"That is one thing about DC, it's never dull." It wasn't always a good thing but it was at least the truth. "Surprisingly it's easy to make friends too so I'm glad you found a way to fit in. A lot of all this," He made a vague motion around him. "Is easier when you've got friends you can rely on."
--------------------------------------
Mauvian Sumi / Pink >Red >Chartreuse / Interacting with Arsinoe and Cadmus
"Cause you have so many of those." He butted his head against Arsinoe's shoulder as he spoke. He knew the Senshi was a loner in his civilian live and didn't really have too many friends to rely on.

** please get your choices in by 11:59 EST! **
As a reminder, you must fulfill the requirements as well, otherwise you cannot pass through the door :C
Themiscyra stuck close to Valhalla, not wanting to sour the mood... well, further anyways. This was meant to be fun, right? The next room made her give a hum of happiness, relaxing almost instantly at the warmth of the room. "Wish rooms like this existed in my city. They're all a bit... colder than this. And red. I might need to consider interior decorating a few places." It was better than eyeing the place as a giant prison city.
Which. It was. But.
Good deeds, huh? She felt her shoulders slump a bit. She didn't... have many of those to recount. But to make a vow? She reached out a hand and squeezed Valhalla's shoulder, not commenting on his soft words. "No more running away. If my friends ever require aid, I will be there without fail. I'll not let them fight alone, whatever the battle."
Letting her hand drop, she grinned at the notion of the green door, grabbing ahold of his cape and giving a playful tug. "You? Fond of green? I would have never have guessed!" Chuckling, she nodded towards the door, heading towards it. "Works for me though. Looks good on you!"

Metis | Magenta > Orange | With Sessrumnir and Fenrir
Metis had to smother a laugh at Sessrumnir's comment, before she shot him and Fenrir both confused, worried looks. "Oh no... is it really that bad? You'd have to describe it to me... if you can bear it." Slightly amused, if curious what she was missing, hearing others speak poems made her pause and tilt her head curiously. "Poems? Oh, that's rather interesting. I wonder how long it took him to put this game together?" She was rather tickled by the whole thing, and grateful for the good experience with a group of others in this war.
To Fenrir, she'd definitely perked up, curious about the other senshi. "That's really such a cool name, may I ask what your sphere is?" She only knew so much about the Norse legends, but well, mythical reasoning didn't always come into play.
"Orange sounds good to me," she agreed, bemused at the whole... event, really. And their poems. She reached out a hand to pat Sessrumnir's arm. "It was a good one, for off the top of your head. Hm, my turn..." She paused and pursed her lips, shifting her weight a little on her heels.
Storms they brew in twists and turns, Wear the world down under stand and waters that churn. The halls stand strong, silent guards, As winds turn to wolf howls that fracture into shards The last reserves of fear. The worn halls open their doors, And step forward, the sheltered soldiers now capable of facing the war.
She gave a little shrug, smiling as she let the words tumble out. It'd been a while since she'd done anything with poetry, though certainly she was rustier than she'd thought.
Lich almost was sure he'd gone blind soon as he stepped into the room, blinking rapidly at the bright colors and laughing a bit in his surprise. Well this place was.... full of surprises wasn't it? When one senshi in a rather interesting uniform began to recite her poem (Scylla), Lich found himself grinning and waving a bit to the other senshi (Polydeuces) who... did share a few similarities to Lich's own attire, which amused him immensely.
Poems? Not his strong suit, and he wasn't really sure who to speak about but... he thought back to the guardian who awoke him, and figured that was better than anything else, right?
Hot chocolate for a pen, Not a typical trade, No regrets. I've no pennies to offer for your thoughts But always keep a warm cup out for you And stay warm in the company of a friend.
He gave a little helpless shrug, not very... skilled with poetry, and he was sure it showed. But he smiled to Liryn. "Is this sort of... event, common? These sorts of gatherings, I mean?"

Mag Mell // Blue > magenta > orange
Mag Mell entered the room beyond the magenta door and instantly regretted that he had been the one to find the key for it. By finding the key he was likely responsible for blinding several people, himself included....
"Celsus, my friend, we're going to have to talk to your interior decorator," he muttered to himself, regretting that he hadn't thought to bring sunglasses. He found it easier if he focused on the gold, as opposed to the neon. The books were lovely at least and-- "What?"
The Cosmos knight looked long and hard at the note, taking a deep breath and releasing it slowly. The exhale was interrupted by a soft snort at the rhyme spoken by the southern belle senshi (Duhr). "Nicely spoken... I suppose I should take a go at this..."
He paused for a moment longer, eyes rolling before he started to spout off some words.
"There once was a man from DC And he gathered us here, as you see. This poem is dumb, I think that I'm done. From this room I would like to be free."
Chibi Megumi - Red door - planning on the green door - with Team Chibi
Seeing that Lepus was getting comfortable in the chairs, Megumi wasted no time in climbing in one as well. She snuggled into the soft stuffing with a happy sigh. "I wish I had a chair like this at home! I'd sit in it all the time," she commented.
Rhea brought her attention back to the challenge, though. Right, memories. Adventurous ones? She hummed, considering what she'd done that might be called adventurous. Maybe something from scouts? She considered some of the things she'd done before she hit on an idea. "Oh! I got one. I'll go first," she offered.
She pulled her legs up to sit cross-legged in her chair as she began. "So I'm in Girl Scouts, and one time we went to a week-long sleepaway camp. Not the kind where you sleep in tents, they had cabins and bunks, but it was fun anyway. While we were there we did a lot of team building kinda games, like one where we had to swing one at a time on a rope across a patch of ground that they called a 'poison peanut butter pit'," (she giggled as she said that,) "and then all balance on a small wooden platform. All at once, without falling off. That got harder as more people swung across, because they needed room to land, and people had less space to stand. It took us a while to figure out how to manage it, but we did it!
"A bigger game we did was with a whole bunch of troops, and was talking about food chains. We all split into small groups, and everyoen got assigned an animal, like bugs, frogs, snakes, and hawks. My group was snakes. The goal was to walk around a forested area of the campgrounds and find shelter and food. Shelter was marked by little flags on trees, and for bugs food was flags on trees, too. But for everyone else, you had to find a group that was a weaker animal and eat them, by chasing after them and tagging them. Since my group was higher on the food chain, we only had to worry about hawks, and we almost made it through the game without seeing any. But reaaaally near the end, a group of hawks found us and I got tagged an eaten. But it was still fun.
"The biggest game of all was an Underground Railroad one. We were all in groups again and playing the part of slaves trying to get to freedom. Each group had a chaperone that was our "conductor," and led us through the woods at night. We had to find signs on the trees and stuff to tell us which way to go, and if any "slavers" came near we had to freeze and not move a muscle until we were told we could move, or else we'd get caught. At the end we all ended up in a safe house and has to hide under tables and in closets and stuff while a slaver came in asking the conductor if they'd seen any escaped slaves. Then as we were heading into the big meeting hall that meant we were free, we got spotted and had to run really, really fast to get to safety! And we made it!" She beamed proudly at that.
With her memory shared, she looked at the two doors. "As for what door to pick...maybe the darker green one? The brighter one kind of hurts my eyes, its so bright."

CalibanForest Door to Indigo Door Caliban smiled at Dallol. She was making this whole event a bit less awkward for him. Usually he didn't talk to someone so quickly, but she seemed to bring him out of his shell a bit. Or perhaps he was just really interested in getting to know a knight. He nodded at her wisdom though, even if he had already made some mistakes. Currently there hadn't been a battle he had won yet, but he had felt compelled to fight the negaverse agents he had run into, though he had never been able to beat them as of yet. "Yes... I should follow that advice more often. I would stay out of a few more embarrassing situations at least." He closed his eyes and let out a sigh at remembering his failures. "It's been hard so far. I feel like I haven't really done any good yet. And with being thrown into this entire situation well... I almost don't know what my purpose is. Sometimes I just want to be just my regular old self. The guy who practices archery and parkour and a few other things with a job I'm happy with."
Lately he had been feeling a bit down about all of this. But he also felt quite alone considering he barely knew any other senshi. It was hard for him to do this all by himself. He smiled back at her after her introduction. "It's very nice to meet you Dallol. Yeah, someone should write a manual for all of this. You would think someone would have at this point since I'm pretty sure there are those who have been at this a bit longer and know what they're doing. Maybe they should start making little booklets? Here is the 'Now You're a Page! What do you do?' and of course the 'So You're a Newly Awakened Senshi and you have no idea what's going on?' One could make quite a bit of money if they were selling it." He chuckled a bit to himself. The image was funny, but it was also a laugh of slight frustration.
He raised an eyebrow at her compliment/confession though. "Put up with you? I haven't put up with you. You're the one who managed to get me talking in a room full of people I barely know and probably wouldn't have said a word to anyone else if I could help it. It sounds like you've been busy and that's a perfectly valid reason as to why you wouldn't have powered up for a while. And I hope that we can be friends too. You're the first person that I've actually been able to talk to whose NAME I've actually learned." Perhaps he was being a bit dramatic here, but it seemed as though she was putting herself down a bit and he didn't want her to feel bad. He paused a bit before asking, "Would it be all right after this... well, if I added you to my regular phone? I would add you on my senshi phone, but I don't know if knights can use them too."

AlphubelRed Door to Chartreuse Door Once they had gotten through the door, Alphubel took another moment to admire the room. After he was done looking at it he moved to the other doors and saw the note that Celsus had posted. Well, this should be easy! Alphubel thought to himself as he looked around the room. There were plenty of other people, however it seemed the senshi he had been talking to was a bit preoccupied with still trying to convince a few others to join their little group, which was fine of course, but he didn't want to interrupt her. The note seemed to imply that one must share a memory, though he wasn't sure how.
But they could just say it right? He looked around, wondering if there was someone he could quickly tell one of his recent favorite memories too, however they all seemed to be preoccupied. He felt a bit of heat go to his cheeks as he realized that he would have to and so he mumbled as loud as he could, "The time I saw my brother waiting for me at the end of the Gingerbread Finish Line was awesome. And he won the race too!"
Sailor Aquila - Forest door - aiming for Orange door
Aquila looked around, not knowing who to talk to. She didn't really know anyone, so she'd basically just have their appearance to talk about, and complementing their clothes seemed shallow. But after a moment she spotted one of the two people she'd spoken to today, and decided to go say something to her.
She went up to the squire who'd spoken to her earlier and said, "Um, hi. Thanks for talking to me earlier. I don't really know anyone, so it helped me feel more, um included." Or something. That counted as a nice thing, right? To make sure, she added, "I liked that you made me feel welcome."
She glanced over at the doors, wondering when they'd get open. Of the two, she was included to pick the orange door, purely because it matched her outfit better.

PINK = > RED = > CHARTREUSE
Sailor Altair [She is open for interaction and is teamed up with Alphubel.]
Altair had grinned in awe of Alphubel and his success in accomplishing the pink room's key challenge. Mentally she acknowledged that courage itself was a key along with other factors like willingness to explore, pushing comfort zone limits, and so forth; and so, with a deep breath and inspiration from witnessing her teammate's achievement, she executed the plan of action she had been considering and survived as well.
"Phew," she chuckled momentarily with relief that she had not fallen from that attempt and unbelievably amazing accomplishment of a small mountain-like climb to her. She gave Spacewatch and Castor the other two keys she was able to reach before taking the same route Alphubel walked to the next room, "Somehow I'm I'm glad there are couches in here when I saw them while I was up there but admittedly, I'm more glad to have luckily managed avoiding a fall in the process. I'll go have a look at what's behind the the red-colored door now. Please feel free to let me know if I may be of any assistance as our routes coincide in this library obstacle course tour we're on."
"A gingerbread race, did did that have obstacles like this library tour we're on, Alphubel?" Altair responded after hearing the memory he spoke of that pertained to the room's instruction she had just read before approaching him. "Either way," she added, "it sounds like you and your brother had a great time during that event."
As she looked around, she contemplated what memory of her own she would share. Then, upon deciding on one, she said aloud, "One one memory off the top of my head at the moment is about when I first fired my magic. I was still in part doubtful about having anything to do with scalpels magically. However, sure enough, when I said my spell, scalpels appeared and served as projectiles." She laughed lightly upon realizing she had began to ramble in a bit of amusement of her past confusion, then she added, "And now, I'm reminded that I should really practice my aim on a regular basis somehow."
Courage? Minkowski was pretty certain she was a coward more than anything, given her pacifistic stance towards things, but maybe in a way it had taken a certain kind of courage to accept Celsus' invite and come all the way out here, despite it all. She didn't think anyone needed to hear that, though, and so she instead gave a small nod at Irkalla's offer.
"If that's alright with you, then I would appreciate it, thank you," Minkowski said, politely, but also not wanting to impose. She was about to give her name when someone else (Phact) tapped her on the shoulder, and the senshi of butterflies nearly jumped a mile out of her skin. It took a few moments, but after she had calmed down and her heart wasn't racing as wildly, she turned to address the other senshi.
"I, um... thank you," she managed to say, "I don't think anyone's ever told me that before..."
Though she didn't go around really speaking to a lot of people. Feeling it would be polite to return the favor, she continued, "Your outfit is really lovely as well... are you the senshi of some kind of bird? The colors compliment each other."
"I'm Sailor Minkowski," the young woman added, realizing she (still) hadn't introduced herself, "It's, um... It's nice to meet the both of you."
