Maia sat on her bed door locked and relaxed focusing on Elysion. She wanted to make sure she could indeed get back to the haven turned war zone. She wanted to explore a bit, maybe see what she could find out. Information was key.
When she opened her eyes she smiled standing and taking in the beauty of the place. She turned hearing a bit of comotion and was surprised to see other senshi gather around talking. It seemed she wasn't the only senshi who had the idea to come back. Quickly, she made her way over and greeting the group, two by name as she'd met them before. "Hello" she said looking around before her eyes landed on purple hair, "Arisnoe", and the blue hair, "Merope."
She smiled at chibi senshi, ********* words coming to mind. She was one more child far less likely to become negaverse prey. She could definitely defend herself, which couldn't be said for most children. Not only that she knew the older senshi would be keeping an eye on her.
She noticed the bird last despite it being the center of attention. "What is going on here," she asked the group.

She might have been terrified floating around in the outer reaches of space and was even afraid of riding roller coasters in the amusement park a little ways out of the city during the summer. This time, however, while her arms were tightly wrapped around Atlas for his emotional support and her own boost in balance, Alcyone held the look of giddy excitement as the wave picked up speed and carried them over the Elysion fields. Water was her element, and they weren't so up high that falling would be an issue -- particularly when the wave actually started to get smaller.
As the surf bubbled and foamed beneath the tall grasses, Alcyone held onto Atlas a little while longer before he broke away and staggered a few feet forward. Her heart went out to him, though she allowed Orion to be the one who comforted his sea-sickness. She wasn't aware that Merope might have caught on a few days prior, so as far as she was concerned, nobody knew of the pair. So she stayed her distance, hoping that he was at the very least getting better with solid ground beneath his feet.
It was then that she noticed a few new faces orbiting around the group, though it wasn't because of them, necessarily. No, their attention was caught by a small quail, who spoke with a voice that paralleled its height. The senshi of storms was immediately taken by him; he was just so cute! Alcyone sat on her knees, to better communicate with him.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Quail's Eye. I am Sailor Alcyone." She greeted, idly wondering if he'd let her pet him. "And thank you for allowing us to stay. You mentioned the Priestess? Is Helios alright?"
Alcyone in fact did not know Helios personally, but the senshi in which he resided in: Pegasus. She remembered the look of anger she boasted before the battle began, and just before they disappeared from the war-ridden fields, she noticed....well, a change. Pegasus had always been a very stoic person, and to see her friend become so open and vulnerable had worried her.

At the sound of her senshi name the redhead turned her head to meet the pink eyed gaze of the senshi of lanterns. She smiled warmly at him as she waved a hand gesturing for him to come join her. "Hey," she said eyes lingering on his form for a minute before she turned her attention to the others, gaze sweeping across the gathering senshi.
All in all Denebola felt like an outsider even though she was surrounded by allies. It was obvious that Atlas, Alcyone, Merope and Orion were on a team or at the very least in a group, they had 'rode' in together after all. The recent addition to the forming group, Maia, clearly knew a few of the senshi gathered but when Denebola took another look she realized she recognized a face besides Arsinoe and Hypnos, whom she had tried to help save previously.
Merope.
"Oh hey, it's the pirate," she blurted out without thought. A great way to start a conversation, really. Especially since when she had met him it had been because she lobbed a chunk of a snowman at him. Well there were no hard feelings right?

Spica was spotting a lot of senshi she saw during meetings, but no one she personnaly knew. And it look like the attention was focused on a little quails. A pretty cute bird actually, she almost wanted to play with it but she could guess he was not something to play with.
No time to be shy she needed to get informed.
She went towards the group like the Sailor Maia, as she remembered her name, did and introduce herself. First step she guessed to socialize.
"Sailor Spica, nice to meet you".

Xavier was still in the hospital, sleeping, recovering the strength he'd all but drained out of himself.
To sleep, perchance to dream...
Themis seemed almost surprised when he found himself in Elysion, drifting without truly meaning to, save perhaps from his own loneliness. While his wounded body slept and recovered, he could come here.
It had become paradise again, all traces of the battle gone. Out of all the senshi here, Themis was probably the least of Quail's worries - he didn't look like he could have picked a fight even if he had wanted to do so. Hell, he looked barely able to walk a straight line.
The air here was so light. Pure. Refreshing.
But, were they meant to be here ?
Hypnos was here, as well as Maia, but he did not go to them. They seemed busy with their own matters; so for now, Themis remained silent, and enjoyed the scenery, biting his wounded lip slightly.
Had it been their fault that the Negaverse had found this place ?

Maia's question wasn't anwsered just yet, but her attentioned was pulled away by a senshi with melted stocking introducing herself. Maia nodded, " Hello," she said and was about to introduce herelf when Themis was there. Was he there a minute ago?
She turned and headed for her cousin, enveloping him in a very loose gentle hug. "I was worried," she said, "everyone is okay, yes?" The question came out quitely, she was unsure she even had the right to ask.
She looked back to the group, "need a hand over. I am not sure what is up, but you do not look so well."

This was awkward.
The hug in itself, a bit, but really, no matter how gentle poor Maia thought she was being, there was really no way to avoid a lightning jolt of pain rushing right through his chest. "Fine..." He said, though his voice betrayed his pain.
"Im the worst out of them, I think." They hadn't talked about... well. The elephant in the room, so to speak. Her birthday certainly hadn't been the place to, and the previous battle even less. "Im still in the hospital."
He was content to simply not think about it - the more he did, the more it seemed to hurt - like he'd been abandoned in a similar way than his mother had done, years ago.
"That probably wouldn't be a bad idea. I have a few questions." He said, looking toward the tiny little Quail flittering around the larger group of senshi. "But I should probably wait my turn..."
Probably sit, too.

Maia frowned realizing she hurt Themis and muttered an apology which turned into a sigh of relief at hearing the others were okay.
She nodded as he excepted her offer and proceeded to help him over, letting him take the lead so she wouldn't hurt him more. "I was worried, very worried. I tried to help Regulus, but he still ened up with an arrow in his shoulder. I saw you upgrade by the way, congratulations." Maia looked up to Themis, her cousin, and sighed, "we will talk soon, I promise."
She went quiet as they made it over to the group looking around the group, "Sailor Maia," she said introducing herself.

Spica nodded as Maia said hello to her before going to see the other senshi standing a little farther.
Look like they were close. She was a little envious she had no one close enough in the Senshi world and no one close enough to worry about her she guessed. Even if she made some friends, but she hadn’t really met with them recently so… well she was a little confused, and she guessed being in a war time will not helped her mood.
She just watched them, still listening to what the others senshi were saying, then she saw them coming back. She noticed the man was walking with pain, he was probably hurt during the battle.
When Maia was by her side and introduce herself, Spica decided to speak with her.
“Nice to meet you” she said offering a hand to handshake. Then she turned toward the man senshi.
“Are you ok?” she didn’t know him but it had never hurt to worry for allies.

The going was slow, but steady. He really, really hoped nothing would break out, or else he was so leaving post-haste. Maia's support was of great help, though, and soon he was left sitting on a large rock near the rest of the group.
"Sailor Themis." He offered to Spica. "I'll be fine." Admitting that he had almost died to his team was one thing - to a senshi he didn't yet know... yeah, he wasn't going there.

"Just because you can get somewhere does not mean you belong there or that it is ripe for the taking. This is the Priestess' land, and the Guardian's home. It was not meant to be home to the war that now plagues both your side and that of those who have aligned themselves with darkness. It...has already started though, so unfortunately it must be carried out until it's end." The bird, cute as he was with his constant hopping around and fidgety behavior, was an enigma. He answered questions and yet never really answered them. He gave a polite birdy bow to each as they introduced himselves, wings spread out as he respectfully bowed his head. To Alcyone he refocused his attention, wanting to address her question of Helios. "The Priestess has a lot to recover from. I believe she will be...alright. But a lot weighs on her mind, and there are things she must think through." The Quail gave a few more hops around, eying the growing group around him. No...as much freedom as this form allowed, it was not a comfortable thing to be in when a group gathered. No matter how careful there was always the chance one would just miss him being there. He was, after all, very little. Eye-form would work a lot better than this. Back in the real world, changing forms was difficult and sometimes uncontrolled. The change took long enough that those nearby could stop and stare as the form of a human boy burst out of that of an ordinary looking quail. Here in Elysion the control over his powers was much stronger than that on Earth, and the transformation was quick and almost effortless. One moment they had been addressing a bird, and now instead it was a small boy in robes the color of the quail form he had just inhabited. He offered them a true bow, before straightening again to continue his observation on them. Themis seemed to really draw his attention, the boy giving him a worried look rather than the respectful but still critical look he had for the others.

"Nice to meet you" she replied to Themis. Well he didn't look fine for her, but she guessed no one would start speaking about his life or whatever with a stranger.
Now she was listening to the small bird explanations. Quite interesting actually. Who was the Priestess they were talking about? Was she the voice she heard in her dreams?
Well no time to worry about it, she will found out soon enough she guessed. But now she was looking at the bird becoming a little boy. So cute, as well as his Quail form, Spica never had siblings, she wished for one this cute.

Maia shook Spica's offered hand with a small smile, "nice to meet you too." Spica spoke to Themis and Maia attention was refocused on the bird who was apparently talking.
Maia was not surprised the bird had started talking. When one talked to and spent time with talking cats it was hardly surprising. The the bird was a boy and really that was not suprising either, not Zirconia had another form to, though she kept her ears and tail. It was most certainly a more interesting turn of events than she had expected.
Silently she mauled over the quail turned boys words as he seemed to focus on Themis.

As it was, the little Quail (who was no longer a quail, though Themis didn't even bat an eye at the guardian's transformation) had answered one of Themis' questions.
They hadn't meant to be here, at all. Had Chibimoon known ? No, surely she would not have brought them here, if she had known.
Surely ?
In truth, he simply did not know.
"Was there something that made people unable to come here before ?" He asked. "And... what can we do to restore it ?"
It seemed this senshi was well aware that they were not to be here - and was wondering how to fix the mistake they'd unknowingly made.

The chibi senshi made a small sigh of relief when she had heard from mister birdy that the big kitty was okay. Although she had heard he was okay, she still wanted to see for himself. She probably should thank him as well, but mostly she wanted to see with her own eyes that he was indeed all right. After all, small or big kitties shouldn't be on the receiving end up a weapon!
"Oh, thank goodness big kitty is all right. Thank you." She said to the quail. She spoke to him like it was a normal, every day thing to her. Animals didn't normally speak? Didn't Cora speak? She could have sworn normal cats spoke too, and her plush bunny spoke to her. She could not understand why anyone would be surprised about it. This bird though, was so cute. The small senshi couldn't help but give out a small squeal as the quail hopped around and even made a little bow! What a gentleman.
"Mister birdy, you're such a gentleman! May I ask, what's your name?" She had barely managed to get out before the bird had changed his form before her very eyes. She didn't question it, since she had seen it with her own eyes but she was wondering. Could all animals do that? Could her white plush bunny do that? It would explain why everything spoke to her! He seemed to be a small boy now, but the small senshi had to look up to him now that he was no longer a small bird. She never got a chance to hold him either!
"Where are we?" She finally inquired. "Thanatos," she said as she held out the white plush bunny with the gentleman's bow so everyone knew she was referring to the plush bunny, "says it is very beautiful, like a dream we used to have."
