Sessrumnir
”Would ya look at that. Like moths to the flame,” Sessrumnir commented as he made his way towards the crowd, easily catching sight of Palatine. He’d been late to arrive as well, but figured with so many people showing up, well... it had to be a party, right?
“Mysterious, extremely powerful and intelligent. Not from this world. Trying to convince us of his horrible past to gain sympathy and then will probably take advantage of our hospitality to exploit our weaknesses and then eventually rise up and overpower us all. Maybe his name is Khan,” Sessrumnir suggested, throwing a glance back in Ganymede’s direction when he heard her ask for his name, but doubted he was close enough for her to hear.
“So how you doin’?” he turned instead to Palatine with a wink. ----- Varuna
Varuna didn’t usually creepy stalk her aunt, because let’s face it. That was rude. But with the weird things that had been happening lately, she would much rather make sure she was around someone with a decent amount of experience. And it was also convenient that she was just happening to head out when she noticed that her aunt was on the move as well.
It was no surprise that Palatine didn’t seem to realize that she was being followed, what with the huge mass of Order signatures in the same location, but Varuna also figured that at this point it would be safest to be with the group. It would be less likely to be picked off if they were all together.
Still, she wasn’t sure what to think. There were people she recognized, but more that she didn’t. And a strange man with a strange aura seemed to be at the center of it all.

TeideTeide held a hand out for Iduna to take. "I'm Teide," she replied softly, nodding over the girl's head to Hvergelmir. If things went south, she'd grab the girl and run. Hvergelmir could handle Castor. Got it. "Stick close to me, okay?" she asked, looking apprehensively at the cloaked figure. "Hver," she whispered, "He's like... he's like a hospital, how they spray disinfectant to cover up that people are dying. He's all wrong. We shouldn't trust him."

If Varuna thought Palatine had a decent amount of experience, she was... sadly mistaken. Of course, Palatine had some experience. She wasn't a complete newbie, but she also, uh... didn't always take the war as seriously as it should be taken. She was learning, of course. Having your kid tortured was kind of a big thing to ignore. So... there was that.
No, Palatine didn't realize she was being followed, but she did notice Varuna when she arrived. She glanced over her shoulder and gave a jerk of her head to motion Varuna closer.
“Just don't go all magic happy,” she said. “Might as well hear this guy out first. But if he's just wasting our time, feel free to bury him in some snow.”
And theeeeen there was Sessrumnir. Unfortunately the words coming out of his mouth were overshadowed by the skeevy wink. Palatine stared at him levelly, completely unimpressed.
“... no,” she said. And then, “Are you drunk?”
Because his voice sounded a little off and he was slurring. And he smelled like booze.
Palatine was... kind of jealous.

Sailor Sadachbia, Eternal Sailor MegrezMegrez was starting to feel a bit uncomfortable. She hadn't seen Ganymede at first, but then boy oh boy did she, because there was a big fuss coming from her direction. The sudden fuss, coupled with that one Knight (Gevaudan) showing a peculiar resistance towards a strike at the Negaverse, was really unsettling. For some reason, she felt a knee-jerk reaction towards that resistance, and some part of her wanted to say hey, what the hell is wrong with you, the Negaverse is in most cases our enemy. It felt so odd; she hadn't felt that way in a while. Maybe the idea of an opportunity for a decisive strike was bringing up old demons in her. Indeed, Castor's strike was the first time she'd felt like this, and he was certainly here. For the time being, she tried her hardest to keep her mouth shut and not blow up at yet another big event. Sadachbia, meanwhile, had elected to just ignore the whole mess and focus on the mystery man. "Well, I'm interested," she said. "We could definitely use power. If we can turn the tides in our favor for even a little bit that'd be great." Every bit of her demeanor indicated eagerness; she was even leaning in towards the figure, even though it didn't make a difference really. The alertness and veritable sparkle in her eyes might have been a bit disturbing from one perspective; she certainly seemed a little too eager to wreak an unknown havoc on the Negaverse. Sunshine Alouette Ganymede Mention, also in Cor Caroli's section MoonKitsune Gevaudan Mention- also one below with Glitnir Glitnir, Knight of MarsWait, was that weird Knight talking to him about the Negaverse not being the enemy? Oh, wait, upon closer inspection, it was the problematic Knight from Olympus making a reprise. If it weren't for the fact that there seemed to be some sort of commotion over there, he would have sidled up to the weird Knight and struck up a little discussion. It was probably for the best that he didn't do anything right now other than shoot a confused look in Gevaudan's direction; the weird Knight seemed to have a valid correction in mind. Super Sailor Cor Caroli"Gotta agree with you there, Fornie," Cor Caroli said, folding his arms and shaking his head. "I kinda wish everyone would shut up and listen, but seeing as we've got people like Princess Bridezilla over there," he said as he gestured to Ganymede, "I don't think he's going to get to speak unless he just turns himself on full blast." Man, what a mess. He changed focus to Cadmus for a moment. "This might come out of nowhere, but are you okay, kid? It's gotta be hard, seeing all the drama queens out at once. I don't know how much we can do, but maybe you should stick by us?" Sailor PorrimaPorrima just watched and listened, but when Elpis started crying, she gave her "superior" a funny look. She couldn't really begin to guess what complex emotions were going through the stronger senshi's head, but she was going to sit back and see where things went from here. Maybe the mystery man would be willing to deal with Elpis, if not the others. One vote of confidence had to be worth something, right? While Porrima was certainly intrigued, she felt that she would be just as satisfied with a neutral outcome as she would a positive one. The status quo had been relatively fine, hadn't it? She thought so.

"Well Havasu, if you would let go..." Phact whispered for his ears only after he complained about her screaming in his ear. "And let me stand on my own like I am fully able to..." this time her elbow went back...straight into his ribs to loosen his grip so she could step free and properly address the others around them. "Then you would not have to get hurt more than you normally allow yourself to."
The look she shot him was harsh and warning. Phact was in teacher and protector mode. More and more people were joining them. Over reactions of PDA were not needed. When she put on this uniform, she was Sailor Phact. She might be the senshi of doves but she was not a sweet innocent thing.
Now free of his hold, she had time to really take in everything.
"Nirvana, Slievenamon....I do apologize for that. Completely inappropriate for all that is going on. Though it appears our guest of honor does indeed have his hands full with an ever growing group..." she waved her hands to the people gathering around the cloaked man.
She was just opening her mouth to say more when she heard the voice speak again causing her head to snap back around and listen fully.
"Well now. This is interesting..." Phact said to no one as she walked semi-infront of the group that had gathered around. Since Sabine had joined her, Phact had developed a feeling of protection towards those close to her. Even Slievenamon, who was brand new to this war was quickly embraced in her wings (metaphorically of course). Her hand extended downward, a jester Sabine would have known meant that action was not needed at this time. Stand down. It was as if telling her to keep an eye on those with less experience while Phact took the front. It was also a hint to keep Havasu from doing anything stupid....
But this time her voice came from her head turning slightly to address everyone standing with them now, including Sidouer and one she did not know. "His enemy? Shall we conclude this is a situation where the enemy of my enemy is my friend?"
Her eyes went to lock with Sabine, the quiet exchange quick with a nod. The woman understood the young girl without speaking at that moment. Then she adjusted her eyes and gazed at everyone around from face to face judging their reaction. "A chance to hit directly offers more than just battles. This is worth listening to before any choice is made. Nirvana, Slievenamon, and..." She motioned towards the new senshi behind Sidouer "I apologize I do not know your name, I would love to hear your thoughts without having been jaded by time and exposure those like myself, Sabine, Havasu and Sidouer have been."
Though she faced them all, it was clear she was half watching the man of the hour.

Camelot watched the crowd passively as they all clamored over one another to get attention from this stranger. There were some very prudent and important questions and concerns being thrown around, but he had the feeling they would not be getting all the answers they wanted or needed from this stranger.
He did not trust this being. Not just because he appeared out of no where, seemed powerful and very well informed about their war, and had the ability to draw them all to him in mass numbers without any apparent trouble. Or the fact that he was dressed like a back alley mugger. Camelot didn't trust him because this stranger spoke in absolutes.
Nothing ever came for free, and nothing was ever easy. To gain something of such an immense power or opportunity, there would likewise be a terrible and deeply felt loss.
Camelot stirred from his darker thoughts as Navi came over to him. He was quick to scoop up Hadaya and hand the tubby cat over to the white moon senshi, who seemed to be the right choice. Hadaya immediately exploded into purrs and hugging against her desperately. Nothing bad has happened yet, but he was still pretty glad to see her.
"I don't know what's going on!" Hadaya proclaimed unhappily.
Then Celliwig approached Camelot, and he smiled at his video game mentor.
"I'm afraid I feel like I've missed something as well, though I'm getting more and more used to that feeling. For now, we should accept the peace that has been offered to us, and not instigate a fight. But keeping your guard and senses up might not be a bad idea." Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. That tended to be his motto for life. When Lacrimosa opted to speak to the shadowy nightmare, Sinistra gave her a look of pure horror, sliding back to hide behind her as best she could. She peered out from around her shoulder, but was largely not a fan of being spotted by the stranger. This wasn't her usual social anxiety kicking in: this was fear for her safety.
She did not know who this guy was, or what he wanted, but since everyone seemed to be wrapped up in what he was, and arguing and calling over each other, she could tell it was something bad. Or at least something no one knew how to deal with. As a relative newbie to all this, that was the last thing she wanted to encounter.
Usually she was all for learning, but when it came with a scary dude attached she was instead all for going home.
Oh god, the other senshi was talking to it, too. Then looking at her. Had she said something to her? Oh, when had she started talking to her? Panic time redoubled, at the risk of being rude to this new potential friend, who was clearly friends with Lacrimosa. she needed to say something, just in case.
"I... uhm."
Nailed it.

There was no ignoring how nervous Scholomance looked. Aokigahara found himself frowning darker at that - it wasn’t exactly reassuring. Both he and Mont Blonc looked desperately uncomfortable, and they were two of the most experienced people Aokigahara knew, so far - that boded extremely ill, as far as he was concerned.
“I think I could take us to mine. It wouldn’t exactly be a pleasure trip, but…” He shrugged his shoulders. It was an out, if needed. And there was Methone, and he gave her a nod, and the barest hint of a smile. He wasn’t quite feeling comfortable, but there were enough people here that he was hopeful that if this was an oncoming betrayal, they would be able to fight it. As much as he didn’t want that to be it.
And the figure was speaking, offering an alliance. Now that was interesting. Aokigahara found himself longing for a more proper negotiation atmosphere, but he also recognized that if anyone was going to be doing the negotiating, it would not be a Page of Saturn with barely a month’s worth of experience. Even if it was well and familiar ground to him. Deals, offers made and rebuffed or accepted, the business of doing business. Phillipe would have been a natural here.
Phillipe was not here.
He wanted to get closer, to lean in, to listen, but instead he dismissed his bulky weapon and folded his arms in front of his chest, face as impassive as it had remained the entire time. Half their number seemed determined to pick a fight, the other half was interested in the offer on the table. The figure spoke of betrayal, of the Negaverse turning against him.
And offered an opportunity Aokigahara was not sure he wanted to take. To attack the Negaverse directly…
“That sounds foolhardy,” he said, to no one in particular and to everyone around him. One did not generally, in his line of work, assault a rival’s stronghold. Those types of things were too messy, too risky.
But it was not, entirely, his choice to make, not for anyone but himself.Houshi stayed close, but she was listening, even if she was still distinctly frowning. She didn’t like this, at all. Didn’t like his story, didn’t like whatever he was making Metis see.
Almost without thinking, she moved her hand so her fingers were entwined with the Senshi’s, and she leaned just a little in, as if by her physical presence she could bolster her friend against the people slinging around disagreement. They couldn’t see what Metis saw.
She couldn’t either, but ever since Metis’s vision changed, it hadn’t led them wrong.Kaefaux go get 'em bb i'll hold ur flower

Sailor Aegir, Super of SilenceWhen the cloaked figure started talking, Aegir moved back to stand nearer to Thraen and group that had loosely surrounded him - things were being said and he wanted to hear them properly, to know what was going on. Unfortunately, he learned precisely d**k other than the petitioner had a masculine voice, spoke less formally than Thraen, and wanted information. "That's--" Voices drowned out his own; some offering information, some requesting it, and some flat out demanding it. Arms crossed over his chest, the super senshi watched as - of all people - a princess - addressed the newcomer brash and rude. Well, this is going just about as well as can be expected with a nervous mob of PTSD suffering pseudo aliens...Feet splayed in that signature penguin-esque stance dancers had, Aegir kept his mouth shut by chewing at the inside of his cheek. There was little he could add to the conversation and plenty enough already of that was going round. Listening paid off, however, as he got to hear a run-down from the figure and some very intelligent input from Scholomance (go team!). And he got to hear Hver being her usual diplomatic self, which was nice - a soothing oasis of calm in the midst of the fluster. An offer of power? Very enticing, especially coming from someone claiming to be against the Negaverse. Aegir wanted to believe it, half of him did - but he'd been burned before and was learning. The last time I heard an offer like that was from Obsidian...seemed truthful enough, but ended up being lies. How's this any different? The senshi bounced on the balls of his feet for a moment before realizing what he was doing and going mostly still. Keep your head down and mouth shut, it's confusing enough.not quoting anyone else, he did nothing @__@

Hawara, Knight of Uranus probably should not have come out, seeing as he was nursing a bit of a cold for the better part of a week, but he'd managed to drag himself out of bed and powered up as soon. As his belly wasn't feeling quote so queasy. It wasn't hard to find Gevaudan, not once he located Ganymede. And he approached, looking more like death than a knight ready to leap in to action. Pausing to take some meds and chug down a bottle of water probably didn't help. "I made it. I think." Maybe he should have just waited at home for Gev to fill him in.

Sailor Eleonora // Senshi of Heat“Knowing her, she’ll find us.” For skeptics of that whole twin vibe thing they obviously didn’t know a pair like her and her sister. Whenever it came to playing hide and seek Fiona always had a way of knowing where Bre was hiding. “Hey, Come with me!” Eleonora’s hand shot out to grab ahold of her cousins and without warning she dragged the temporarily flame red haired girl along behind her in a seemingly arbitrary direction. Together they skirted around small groups of order alligned individuals till she rose her other hand to signal for someone’s attention. “Liryn! Athene!” Not wanting to lose track of Gorner her grip tightened as she pressed onward towards the familiar Eternal and little bob tailed cat. Three eyes were better than one since they were the only other ones to know what her sister looked like while powered up. “Hey! Is Alcor here with you guys?” she inquired in a quieter tone since it seemed there was a rather heated debate going on in the center mass of people.

Sherwood wasn't sure what to expect when she read Newgrange's note but she got to where he was quickly as she could. She caught his wave, giving him a quick hug as she arrived, and was content to stay on the fringes of the group. Actually, it was sort of a marvel to see so many members of the White Moon gathered in one place, people she largely didn't know. She liked easily but after her near death experience with Painite, it was hard for her to trust. Him she trusted explicitly. " What's going on?" She ddn't have to wait long to find out, but she wasn't sure she was willing to do something secret for some entity she didn't know. " What do you think?"

Gevaudan
He hadn't noticed the other knight amongst the growing crowd until he drew near and spoke up. Startled, Gev turned about to see Hawa crawled out of bed to make an apperance. "What are you doing here?" He hissed, looking wide-eyed at the pale knight. The man was thin and pasty and in no shape to be standing about in uniform, let alone in a crowd facing an unknown power.
Moving, he took the man's arm and hooked it, just in case things got messy. If so, he'd have to throw him over his shoulder and drag him out.
He missed teleportation a lot. He also missed energy orbs. They were great for a boost of energy and Hawara needed all the energy he could get.
"Stick by me. We have an unknown talking about giving out power, being not from this planet, and wanting to take out the Negaverse for betraying him for turning against some treaty. We don't have much intel, but he seems to have a hit list for Queen Beryl and Metallia but probably everyone else on this side." He informed the other, but reached up to touch Hawa's brow. It was far too warm and it only made him frown before he took off his coat and gave it to him.
"You should go home. I'll tell you all about it later."

Aww! That gave her warm fuzzies. No one had outright said that to her before! She just gave the other a goofy grin. "Yeah---when you put it like that, it really would be---" Sedna paused though, her attention immediately shifting to the mysterious figure as he spoke. For once, surprisingly, it wasn't Sedna spouting off all the questions this time, but everyone else, and she reaped the benefits just by staying silent and listening. As a relatively new senshi, she wasn't sure she could ask anything that'd be of use, anyways. She was learning a ton just be listening to everyone else... At some point though, her brows had knitted. Beryl...Queen of Earth, and her Negaverse. That made her feel uneasy. It made her think back to what Sylvite had told her... At some point, Sedna leaned closer to Centisima so that she could speak to him in a hushed tone. "Would you believe me when I say we might be aliens...?" Ruriska This is moving really fast and I am le slow---so if you ever want / need to ditch Sedna at some point, I'd understand completely ;u; <3

Sailor LacrimosaInari should make no mistake, just because Lacrimosa seemed calm and at ease didn't mean she was. This person was strange, an unknown of unknown power and age. Just because she was willing to listen and, maybe, help him didn't mean she trusted him. There had been a reason she had yet to give her name. But she couldn't baby Inari, the girl needed to learn for herself and in all honesty it might not really be a mistake. If it turned out to be a bad thing it would be a learning experience is all. Besides, Sinistra was a little closer to freaking out and her attention zeroed in on that. Turning slightly she moved to place a gentle hand on her shoulder in hopes of grounding her. "Relax, Sinistra, it's okay." A calming voice and her hand moved to her cheek in hopes of turning her attention to her. "You have nothing to worry about okay? No matter what happens here your safety is my most important thought." Brown eyes turned to her magenta haired companion. "Inari, come step a little closer to us, hm?" She didn't want to point out she could see her legs trembling just a tad. Lady Yukaharu She is, isn't she? Don't make her play mother now Lithiasaur Breathe Sinistra, Lacri's got you precious one

Concern filling his golden eyes as he looked his cousin over. He had quieted as the cloaked figure spoke, listening but not speaking, even as he laid a firm hand on his cousins shoulder. It wasn't just to keep her in place, and with him, but also in case he might fall forward thanks to the lovely geta he had on his feet - Sidouer had it lucky.
Looking to the one speaking to him, someone his cousin apparently knew, he leaned forward a bit and held out a hand to her. "Sailor Cetus of kappa, and Sailor Sidouer's elder cousin." He added in, so no one wondered how he knew her or why he was being so friendly with the blond haired senshi.
"He is proposing to remove them all - correct? All of chaos...that does not work..." Deciding it best to expand on it he stepped up next to his cousin. He really wished he could remove his geta and stand in just the socks he had on his feet, it would be a hell of a lot more comfortable. "To have order you need to have disorder, or chaos. You need everything in balance and while everything is, at present, out of balance as far as I can tell this won't solve it, it could throw everything to the other side - too far to the order side. Order can just as easily as chaos become corrupt - turn around and attack itself. We need to find out how far in the other sides court things are and then find out how to try and balance it. Perhaps seek out those who would work with us and can help in various ways. We cannot just destroy them." He looked to his cousin then, to gauge her reaction as it mattered more to him than the others.
"We also cannot claim ourselves to be good whilst killing them all when we do not know who out of them are truly bad and which ones are willing to help us or willing to even join us and change sides. That would be folly on our part and risk making us more enemies than we already have."
