Queen Serenity had shown up? There had been an honest-to-God sighting of Queen Serenity and she had missed it? Rose was not happy about this, not at all. It was bad enough that she had missed the fighting over the crystal – whatever it was – but to miss a chance to finally see the Queen…
“ I don’t have any questions, but I do have some things to bring up. Lieutenant Rhodizite, for one.” She paused, recollecting what she knew about him.
“ Lieutenant Rhodizite: white-ish hair, brown military uniform, bone on his face, chain weapon. My attacks are, for a lack of better phrase, ‘super effective’ against him. I have seen him retreat to avoid fighting me.” She paused before adding, “ If you find yourself up against him, you might want to give me a call.”
What else had she wanted to say? Oh yeah.
“ Also, Sailor Sinon and myself are in the process of forming a team, tentatively called Motley Crew. Many of us are relatively new Senshi, but we hope to get better organized shortly.”
Rose hoped that in time the Motley Crew would be able to act as a sort of mentoring force, helping others adjust to being a Senshi and filling them in on the information that Guardian Cats seemed to leave out. Of course right now it would be a bit like the blind leading the blind, but one day, one day Rose would see this done.

Lily looked to Rose, "I know him. I had a battle against him some time ago. He sprained my wrist. My attack works well against him, but in the end I had to run. He is very good with his chain and despite constantly moving, he managed to get hold of me more than once."
She smiled hearing that Rose was forming a new team. It was nice to see others becoming connect and even more so, but her though turned back to Europa's words and she frowned slightly.
She looked to Tallulah for a moment, "they did show up yes, but our queen was more like an image or a ghost. Beryl actually showed up, in person, and she caused even more mayhem than we were causing."
Lily frowned slightly, " did you check any more on the Usagi girl, to see if maybe the crystals were around before. We do not know if this is a new thing or not, but we do know the senshi situation has occurred before in Japan."

Xavier didn't especially look like he wanted to be here. The bruise on his cheek was still the size of a small planet, his cast was itching like a bit (no scratching, so scratching, AAAAAAGH) and the more of ladies spoke, the more confused he was becoming.
Lily might as well have been sprouting out martian for all that Xavier knew. What's an Usagi ?
Errr.
He also looked like a fish out of water. But still, he had his request to do, and he needed to do it before he chickened out.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." So here's a bunny with a pancake on its head.

"I've looked," answered Tallulah, looking uncomfortable, "But Usagi Tsukino is a difficult woman to find." She'd found some information, but it wasn't enough to really make her comfortable with the whole situation. She consulted the board, then her notebook, and cleared her throat to answer more fully. "She was a high schooler in Tokyo, and I think I've established that she was also Sailor Moon, and by logical deduction, a reincarnation of the princess."
Her searching had pulled up quite a lot about the girl who would be queen - her abysmal grades, the names of her parents - but besides the mysterious circumstances of her death and those of several other girls that Tallulah presumed to be her teammates, none of them seemed very useful.
"Serenity was just there as a ghost," she agreed. "She was more like projection - Beryl was solid, though. When we lost the fight - when the Captain ran off with the crystal - the queen spoke to us. She told us not to give up hope, and to go find the lights that waited for us. I've got the exact quote, but I left it at home."
She made a couple quick notes about Rhodizite and added, "I think a mentorship team is a good idea," she said to Rose, "As long as you uphold your commitment to the Basterds. We're not exclusive as long as the other teams aren't."

Lily nodded at Tallulah, but then looked to Xavier and grinned. She lifted her finger and pointed to the top corner of the board of crazy. "Up in the corner is what we know of the senshi happening in Japan. Apparently this has happened before we were even thought of. It just wasn't in the states, though none of read Japanese, so we haven't gathered much information on it."
She looked over Xavier, "You were there for Halloween. Beryl was the crazy red head that made super powered youma and our queen was the ghostly lady. I only figured that out because Serenity talked to us."
She pointed down to the bottom of the board, "We add negaversers we meet at the bottom and the top is for senshi information, though we should probably add a list of other senshi at some point."

"I was thinking," Bell finally spoke up, "Do you think the lights that Serenity mentioned could be the reincarnations of Sailor Moon's team mates?" Maybe Bell was just thinking in to it too much, "Of course she always could have meant the other crystals but..."
Still, it wasn't that far fetched an idea. At this point, with all this reincarnation business Bell was ready to say that if she died, don't put R.I.P. on her tombstone, but B.R.B.

-Aurora's lips twitched softly as the chain wielding enemy was mentioned, finding humor in the words uttered. If Pomona's attack was super effective that must have made her attack 'super fail' against him. A memory of her locked tight within his chains, accidentally dragging herself magnetically towards him to a point that she'd actually dislocated her shoulder. Ughhh... She shook her head mildly, trying to listen to the things that were going on.
She wasn't surprised that Tallulah was having difficulties finding out about the girl from the past, but she certainly respected the attempt. Tallulah had an amazing knack for putting things into prospective and looking at every angle.
She even nodded a little in agreement when the idea of mentoring came up, her eyes turning curiously to Bell's jump of logic. It was strange.. perhaps plausible..
Coughing softly, attempting to gain attention, she raised her hand, speaking when Bell had finally stopped.- "Speaking of team mates..."
"I apologize for going off topic but something that I think is very important has come to light."
-Her words were slow and careful, her face somber and yet somehow her anger could still be detected.-
"I'm sure some of you guys like myself questioned the reasoning behind why Castor decided to desert our team. I have reason to believe he may be a traitor."
-She didn't pause long enough to anyone to interject, continuing on with little more than a breath.-
"He has been seen fratanizing with the enemy. Even so far as making out with a General of the negaverse." -She was perhaps exaggerating a little in her fury but her night with Taranis would not be forgotten.-
"He gets so near to the darkness so often and still miraclously he always seems to fall short of achieving anything for the senshi side even after reaching such a high power level. I do not think it is a coincidence."
"Many of us have ran into corrupted senshi."
"A corrupted enemy as powerful as Castor... is not something that would bode well for out side."

Lily was shocked at Aurora words. The imagery was terrifying. She'd run into two corrupted senshi thus far and neither experience was fun. It was odd though that despite her general dislike for the boy at first, she did not see him as the type to allow corruption.
"Are you sure Aurora? Like did you see it with your own eyes. I mean at the first meeting he did not seem to have enjoyed nearly having his starseed ripped out, nor did he seem like he would allow any such thing. Do you not remember? It nearly happened before," Lily said frowning.
She wasn't at all convinced. She did not think Castor would allow himself to be corrupted, but the words still stuck out. Making out. Her was making out with the enemy.
Lily shook her head. Teenage boys did stupid things, she thought, but than she frowned. That statement went both ways, but usually one wasn't willing to give their life for a teenage love. Usually. This wasn't Romeo and Juliet. Or was it. Lily looked extremely confused and as though she really did not know what to think.

...What... ?
It made no sense to Xavier, and with those words he finally seemed to be paying more attention, his own confusion very evident. Castor hadn't felt... Well, he knew of corrupted senshi, Taranis had made sure that this knowledge had be all but hammered into his brain. If it feels wrong, stay on your guard.
Castor hadn't felt wrong. He'd felt... like a senshi. But that was before the ball. He hadn't seen the whole make-out session for himself - he'd been a little busy staying in one piece in a room full of super powers that were, for the most part, stronger than him.
He'd done a poor job staying in one piece, but that was beyond the point.
But... Castor had been the one to refer him to Taranis. If he was corrupted, it didn't make sense that he was trying to strengthen his own team, didn't he ? There was a hole here. Some piece of his mental puzzle was missing, though Aurora was in the right for bringing up a potential danger.
And that Castor had once been in this team... and now there he was. Had he been the one to take his place ?
"I think this needs to be figured out." Was what he finally managed to say. "And that until we know for sure, it would be better to remain careful." He looked at Aurora, then. "Thank you for the warning."
He dug into his pocket for his senshi phone - it felt heavy in his hand. "Il'd like to bring up something on my own, once we're done discussing this." He didn't want to trample all over the discussion, but he felt like it was important. Tallulah would definitively want to know this. And, well, he still felt horribly out of place.

"Corrupted Senshi wear black," declared Europa, who had some experience on the subject. "And they radiate dark like a neutron star. Castor's not corrupted yet - we'd sense it on him if he was." Even the thought of it made her blood run cold, though. But Castor was noble, wasn't he? Stupid, but noble.
"Thanks, though, Aurora," she said shakily. "I'm not sure that it's our place to intervene, but perhaps someone ought to. Someone closer to him - ask around, find out who his closest allies are, ask them if they've noticed anything odd. I'm gonna go ahead and call for a Corruption Watch on Castor, just to be safe?"
She'd just made the phrase up.
"It's not our place to intervene, but if you see something, say something."
She added a note about it to the board, and turned to Xavier. "What's up?"

"Taranis informed me of it. Considering they are like.. best buddies and what I know of Taranis it is as solid as me having seen it myself." -She answered to the question before adding more slowly, pointedly.- "He was kissing a general that had seriously hurt his friend and fellow senshi's loved one."
-The quickness in which they'd all disregarded her assessment brought a momentary look of surprise to her face, her fingers squeezing the folds of her skirt mildly. She wanted to fight them about it.. to convince them to her point. But as long as they agreed to be vigilent.. as long as they'd been warned.
Her frown was back but she settled back in her chair to brood, offering only one last bit of opinion and motherly advice.- "One doesn't need to be inherently evil to side with evil. They know we expect the corrupted senshi to be all the same. Don't you think it's a perfect strategy...? To hide your wolf among the sheep. To hide him among the prized and most influential sheep."
-She'd fallen silent, her eyes shifting to Themis and whatever he had wanted to discuss.-

...And she'd gotten it from Taranis... ?!?
Okay, the more Aurora spoke, the most wide-eyed wat Xavier seemed to become. Which was a little bad when they'd all started to just stare at him. That was just... just...
s**t, he needed time to think about it.
"Polaris' right on that." At least one of them seemed to give some hold to her theory, at least.
"If I was a negaverse agent, it's certainly a tactic I would try out..." It was a little ironic, when one could think all he'd had to do was button up his coat, tuck in his collar, and hide his tiara under his bangs, and he might be able to fool an agent who didn't bother to check out auras.
He failed to see said irony. "We definitively need to be careful."
But that wasn't what he was here for. "Well, it's more of a... request." He admitted. His phone was one-handedly flipped open, and he set it on the table to browse through it.
If the others hadn't noticed his arm was broken, then now they were getting an eyeful of it. Finally, he seemed to find what he was looking for, and he handed his phone to Tallulah, to start a string of letting it go around the group. "Sailor Chibi Hugbell. I met her on one of my patrols. She's like... s**t, I don't know, all I know is that she's a little kid. If she's over 10, im eating my boxers." Not the best wording ever, Xavier. "Well, my point is... I've been trying to watch out for her. I tried to convince her not to go out alone, but im not sure she listened to me. Im a little... well, broken at the moment." No s**t. "Could you guys keep an eye out for her ? I... I don't think this is right at all, but if she can't be convinced to not be a senshi, then we should at least watch out for her. Make sure she doesn't get hurt."
The look on his face spoke volumes about how he felt about this. He was more than a little worried for the pint-size senshi.

“ I can juggle two teams. Even if I didn’t want to, I would.”
But Rose did want to be on two teams. Her insatiable curiosity demanded that she be on a team likely to answer her questions, or that would help her find the answers. On the other hand, she also felt strongly that the introduction most new Senshi got was lackluster, and her conscious demanded that she try to rectify this. Also, being a Basterd many she’d have newer information and more of it to pass on to the new Senshi.
Hearing that Castor was cuddling up to a Negaverse General was a disturbing thought indeed. Rose was aware that there weren’t many Eternal Senshi, so to lose one would be bad enough, but for the Senshi to lose them and the Negaverse gain them would be an unimaginable blow.
Listening to the others, she agreed that Castor wasn’t outwardly corrupt. Inwardly was another story, but she couldn’t judge that. However there was one question that Rose felt she needed to voice.
“ Do Senshi really need to be willing to be made Corrupt?” Rose did not know how Corrupt Senshi came to be, but unless a Senshi had to want to be corrupted, it would seem Castor’s will had little meaning. His girlfriend was a Negaverse General, so all she’d have to was gather enough strength to overpower him. Besides, if what Aurora was saying was true, then he was essentially in love with a known serial killer. How could that possibly mean anything good?
… Chibi Senshi?
“ What?! The Guardian Cats are recruiting little kids to help fight magical supervillains now?” Rose was incredulous. She couldn’t help it. A kid Senshi? Really? That seemed wrong on so many levels.

-The familiar name drew her momentarily out of her funk as Themis' request sounded, nodding softly to his sentiments. She'd been so wrapped up in her topic that she'd forgotten about mentioning the pint sized senshi.- "I've met her as well."
"I warned her about patrolling alone and I tried to convince her that groups were a lot of fun so... hopefully she'll take that advice."
-Shifting a little in her seat she thought for a moment, before adding lightly and falling silent again.- "I've got her in my phone already, so I'll make sure to keep an eye on her whenever I can."

Lily was the one with a frown plaster across her face. She was extremely bothered, but the whole of the first situation. Corruption Watch? Did that mean they were stalkers now?
But, evern more so a child was fighting, not that they were adults, but a little kid. A little kid, who had apparently encounter both Themis and Polaris. Why was the world making so little since right now?
Lily was confused and her mind and heart were in a bit or turmoil. This was going to lead to bad decisions, but for now she just remained silent looking more than a bit irritated.
