Welcome to Gaia! ::

Evren was carried away to a infirmary and when she came to her eyes refocused herself and she looked around. "Ah what happened?" It was then a nurse came over to talk to her.

"It looks like you overheated at the ball ma'am... You should take all the time you need before you head back to the ball." Evren blinked a few times before nodding. She was feeling a little better slightly...

It was then she started to hear a commotion coming from outside the room. As she slowly got up she looked around and saw people trying to get out of the building. "Eh?... What is going on?" Evren was confused as she just stared ahead and tried to at least look for the people she was with previously before fainting.

Green Mask- Fainted

Why hadn't she answered? Had it not woken her or was it on vibrate? Figuring it was either thing, as both were possible, he was surprised by the text message he got and what it said more importantly. She's passed out in the hallway? What had happened? Was it like those other people? Had she even made it up to their room? Either way she had gotten some rest, no doubt about that, but still! He didn't even send a response back as he got up from the table and headed off toward the nurses offices, asking someone where it was so he could find his girlfriend.

While he headed toward the nurses station he responded via text telling her about all the people who had been passing out and that something was wrong - very wrong. It was concerning and had him worried, in general and for them both. Maybe they should go back up to their room for the remainder of the night? It was a suggestion he texted Fiona as he made his way to the nurses station.

When he did get there he didn't need to go into the room or even look far. Fiona was right there, in the hallway, and he went right up to her and warped his arms about her. "Your ok? No headache or anything from the fall?" He questioned, assuming she'd fallen and hit her head on the floor. "We should go." he added in a hurried tone as he made to lead her down the hallway to the elevators and up to their suits floor.

[ Jenn - Chibi Iduna - Green - HP: 20 ]

She was tired. She was hot, and she was itchy. The dress was itching and she felt overheated. She'd lost her brother but it didn't matter now, it didn't matter... she hit the deck sort of heavily and was ushered to the nurses.

Jenn woke up as the party started to panic. She ripped her mask off, feeling much better already. In the chaos, she scrambled around to find anyone. Very tall people in uniforms flared up around her and she felt fear build in her chest. She'd never done this before. She'd just fought monsters and stray dogs! This was out of her league.

But she was a princess and her brother was out there! She had to save them! In a corner, Jenn gripped her little apple topped pen. "Iduna Asteriod Power, Make Up!" Apple green and red flared around her, with almost the scent of apples themselves, and she stood as Chibi Senshi Iduna.

Now to find her brother.

[ Alex - Andronicus - Red - HP: 20 ]

Time fell away. They spent time talking and dancing and she felt herself get sleepy. She swayed, making a comment about needing punch. Alex didn't want to leave Dani, but she needed to stop overheating. Or at least be able to see properly.

She made it to the punch bowl, head swimming. She got her punch and then the world went dark.

She woke to someone pulling her mask off. Alex stared up blearily and sat up with a jolt. Where was she, what time was it what was it... Suddenly everything came rushing back and she let out a heavy sigh. Just the ball, she must have passed out. Alex made her way to the door to see a Negaverse agent in blue (one she remembered) shot past her.

Andronicus Page of Uranus stepped out of the doorway and made to go find Themiscyra.

[ Merric - Capt Jarosite - Black - HP: 40 ]

Jarosite was ecstatic to finally power up again. He felt the familiar weight of chaos and let out a sigh. He hadn't realized he'd been so twitchy without it. He was to capture, but she didn't say how alive they needed to be by the end of this.

His blood sang and Jarosite shot past an open door to find the potential captives.

It barely crossed his mind to look for Jenn.

Well god damnit.

Trinity watched the mayhem as people comtinued dropping like things best unmentioned and the twenty year old frowned, watching people panic.

Well.

She sighed, watching people throw their masks off and removed her black mask with some trepidation, mind going to the henshin pen she'd stored on her person just in case a hero was needed and rubbed her temples, slipping for a ladie's room to henshin, rubbing her temple with one hand as she removed her pen, grumbling.

"By the power of Greyskull." She muttered. "WHY."

HP: 20 - Sailor Ferris

---

Pierrette came to slowly and quietly, blinking as she looked about. The station, once peaceful, was not sheltered from panic, and she frowned, lifting her layers of skirts and rushed for a ladies room stall herself, extracting her own pen delicately as she quickly became Sailor Pisces.

Still, a bathroom stall was VERY ICKY for powering, and the senshi peered out, tiptoeing neatly to try avoiding second glances or a fist to her face as she slipped to investigate.

THERE WERE NEGAS TO BITE. Or scare. Preferably bite.

HP - 20 - Sailor Pisces - Capture list

Girlfriend?!?
The word made Jasper sit back as he watched his dance partner be taken off to the nurses station. Though at the misunderstanding, he had nearly missed the all important 'I am here on my own'.

That had Jasper smiling. Maybe the evening wasn't a complete lost...

Now he needed to set the record straight.

"Oh, I had never met her before tonight. Much like yourself, she was lone and appeared bored." Jasper looked back at Mei, reaching out to touch her hand that was on the table. "No one should be bored or alone on New Years."

But then he looked back out and shook head his. "But I have to wonder if I over did it. She was a quick learner, even if my foot disagrees..." Shrugging, he gazed back at the lady in pink. "Have you ever dreamed of dancing the night away?"




------
It must have really gotten warm in there because Delilah could feel her heart flutter slightly. If she was not mistaken, she had just gotten asked to meet him again. Maybe this wasn't going to be so bad after all. Still, she kept her face controlled as he disappeared into the crowd, a coy smile on her face as that red hair burned into her mind. She would not soon forget it.

That was until she heard the panic coming from the other rooms. It was the sound she had prayed would not follow but it was enough to know the truth. This was more than a party. This was some sort of trap.

Images flashed in her mind of Destiny Con. Of the doors being locked and agents not carrying who got in the way as the drained people of the very energy that kept them alive. "Hannah, we need to go. Can you stand?" Delilah said as she reached for her friend's arm to help her up. "I can't believe police would allow events this size anymore!" Delilah groaned as she found her feet, the mask dropping to the ground.

The cream colored cat came to somewhat slowly, yet she recovered well enough to articulate herself somewhat. Instead of attempting to reason with him, she instead bolted to her feet in a ferocious display, fully intent on chastising (and possibly attempting to fight) Faust over the events that transpired.

Faust only cocked an eyebrow at her.

Were he more rejuvenated than his current lethargic self, Faust would've escalated the confrontation in a heartbeat. He only breathed a short huff afterward. "Yeah, 'magine that." The hell, lady... Way to stereotype. "I'm gonna jus' assume now that you don' see many other guardian cats. Or the ones you did see are all like... Senshi colors and s**t... You know, like... Bright s**t." Faust yawned, unable to keep himself focused on trying to explain his point.

Ultimately it didn't matter; the pair still stood outside the ballroom establishment and Faust found it entirely suspicious that he, a majestic and powerful Mauvian, would randomly collapse of exhaustion when he napped a solid three hours before Quenton woke him. He felt marginally better after rousing out in the grass, but the exhaustion from the whole affair laid heavy in his bones. He wondered what the effects might be, but having never experienced anything like it... He could only take shots in the dark. Quenton would have to be the one to brainstorm on the matter.

"Hell no I din't bring you out here, Kitten. If I woulda found you I'd have asked Quenton to pick you up so you weren't stepped on. Pretty damn sure we both snuck in, and gettin' back out seems like a waste. I dunno if you got anyone you're lookin' for, but I do - and he's still wanderin' around in his dumbass trash bag costume and I don' think he's right in the head for this s**t about now. I mean he's wearin' a ******** bag over his face..." The cat continued to mumble to himself as his gaze slowly crawled over the exterior of the building.

Most of the place proved rather impenetrable for a cat, but one of the windows lightly obscured by branches sat low enough to the ground for the cats to leap to the sill. The window itself sat a solid five inches above its track, and the mostly obscured visage of the back of a reclined woman's head gave him the last indications that this was their way in. "Yo, if you're serious about goin' back in there, follow me!"

Without waiting for a response, Faust trotted as quickly as deadening exhaustion would allow, and managed the fair distance to the window over grassy landscape. Taking the leap itself felt like monumental effort, but he managed, and scraped claws against the sill afterward. He managed to wedge himself inside after a great deal of cussing and wriggling, finally emerging back in the crowded party.

And all hell was breaking loose.

Now was not the time to be discrete. Faust immediately took off into the crowd, yelling at the top of his feline voice to grab Quenton's attention. "MEOW!" he shouted into the fray. "MEOW! MEOOOOOW!" Hastily the cat darted to and fro, between legs of all different heel sizes in search of skanky dress or murderous shoes. Thus far, though, he hadn't found the boy.

Aiden Hale - Civilian HP 10

Aiden bowed his head politely as a show of gratitude then replied with a simple "Thank you." He then pulled the chair out from under the table causing the legs to make rather loud sound as the slid across the recently waxed floor.

As he went to take a seat he seemed to stumble forward quite ungraciously managing to brace himself against the cloth covered table. Perhaps he was far more tired than he originally thought and so he made an attempt to sit down in the chair only to have it slide out from beneath him effectively sending the raven haired man to the crumb covered floor in an unconscious heap.

Mei Xing - Sidouer HP 20

Mei's hand twitched almost as if she were about to pull away then thought better of it. "Yes," she admitted. "But it seems tonight is not the night for such fantasies." Her gaze then lifted to meet his own. "Perhaps next time." She said softly, her face obviously saddened by the missed opportunity. "You should leave before things get anymore out of hand." She withdrew her hand and took a step back.

With people fainting and some fight going on over by the entrance, her sense of security significantly diminished. Plus the fact that Delilah had yet to respond to the text she'd sent left her very worried, usually she was quick to reply back. "If possible I suggest you find an emergency exit and avoid using the front lobby." Pieces were falling into place as second passed slowly. This was just like Destiny Con right before the youma showed up.

Hannah Carrington - Acrucis HP 20

Hannah's eyes peeked out from behind heavy lids just in time to see the gentleman place a kiss on the back of Delilah's hand and take off. Had it not of been for the hand resting against her cheeks, she would have believed this to be a part of an all too real dream.

The twitterpated half stunned partially starry look on her sisters face pulled the corners of her lips upward into an amused grin. "Yeah, I think so." It had been a long while since she had a dizzy spell like that, she just hoped beyond all reason that it wasn't a symptom of something greater, something far more serious.

Slowly she too rose to her feet "So Juliet, she teased. "What's the plan? Go after him or help the guests escape?"

Fiona Matasan - Alcor HP 20

Fiona was more than happy to have her boyfriend near; with all the strange things going on a little stability was greatly appreciated. Haven left her mask back on the bedside table, she was glad to be free of any unnecessary pressure against the bump on the side of her head. "Just a slight headache," she admitted "The medicine the nurse gave me should be kicking in soon." At least she hoped it did.

By the time they had reached the elevators all hell seemed to have broken loose in the ball room. "What in the world is going on?" Her eyebrows knitted together as she watched employees running up to guests and taking their masks. I knew the influx of patients was no coincidence. A knowledge that made her stomach churn.

"Hey Fionan? I think it would be best to take the stairs or the elevator at the other end of the hotel." Though leaving entirely would be most preferred she doubted it would be easy to get past those guarding the doors.

Among the masses Fiona noted a number of individuals no longer donned a nice suit or dress rather several wore uniforms quite similar to the one she had on the first time she henshined up into Alcor. "You go on ahead, I'll meet you there okay?" It was less of a request than a strong suggestion that left little room for him to refuse as she placed both hands on his shoulders and turned him around back down the hall they had just come from and gave him a gentle push. "Trust me please, I'll be there shortly." She said before rushing over to the stairwell and hiding behind the steps, hopefully out of view of any cameras.

After fishing the pen out of her bag she rehearsed the very words she spoke before, and in the place of the college student in a overly long masquerade dress now stood Sailor Alcor. "I hope I'm doing the right thing." She spoke to herself before stepping out into the fray her main objective being, to help people escape.

Chiku nodded at the other, giving him a mock salute. "Have fun! Maybe I'll see ya later!" She moved to disappear into the crowd. Have a little fun while she did her job. [She felt a little bad for the people having to go through it...but this was important. That much had been made clear.]

When the time finally came, and Chiku had a moment where she wasn't being looked at, she found herself becoming Sphalerite. And she heard the message. Now that she could get behind! Let the other side of the war learn they meant business, and they were going to not be gentle. [Those horrible not-dreams tickled the back of her mind, screaming that it wasn't right, but she didn't care. Those not-dreams had just been dreams and she wasn't the strange Kasih who wore her face, she was Chiku, she was Sphalerite, and she was part of a war.]

She made her way through the fleeing crowds, searching for very specific criteria: a sailor collar, and bows of some sort. And no butt-wings.

Even drained, she wasn't even going to attempt going after anyone with buttwings!
Chiku Ajali/Lt. Sphalerite - Nega, On the move from Ballroom 3, 40HP



Kaida let out a sigh of relief when Silas woke up, giving him a small smile. "I had to make sure you'd be okay. I can honestly say I've never had someone pass out on me at a party, so it was a bit awkward." He seemed okay, though, if tired. "I've been hearing staff mention people either drinking too much or getting overheated. It's good that there's medical staff on site, though. Not all parties like this do." It was a comfort...but the number of people that had been passing out was a little worrying.

As if on cue, Kaida felt light-headed, and crumpled to the ground as unconscious snuck up on her, and all hell seemed to break loose.
Kaida Courcel - Red Mask, Fainted, Nurse Station, 10HP



Bailey had come to, Reed's worried face not far from her own, and he'd helped her get back to her feet. Something had felt different. Off. The mask on her face was different, even though it was the same. That...that couldn't be right? Could it? She'd damn near panicked the moment Owen and Daniel were brought into the medical area. Something was really Not Right.

She didn't get much of a chance to investigate as everything seemed to just...explode.

Reed was going to kick her butt later but...In the midst of the chaos, Bailey Jameson slipped away from her brother, found a dark little alcove that sheltered her from sight, and powered up.

Chibi Sailor Subra was ready for action, to fight for good...and hopefully not get trampled. She was tired, but she couldn't just stand by! And the nearest hotel employee or person she found trying to remove a mask from an unconscious person had a nice football kick aimed at their shin.
