It was the first time he got a message that wasn’t Birhan, or someone he was related to. Healing huh? Well he could handle that…well kind of. He could do a little cooking too and he at least knew a thing or three about first aid. Tucking his cigarettes and lighter into the top of his trousers and packing a shoulder bag with some of his own first aide supplies he headed out to report for ‘duty’.
“Hey, I got the note, Vulpecuale, Restoration’s the deal, It’s a temporary fix but whatever it can help with? I know a few of ‘us’ out there who can copy what people just did so ah… might wana send out a note to them too. Yeah?” He grinned and held up his shoulder bag. “Brought my own s**t too…lead the way?”

To say Venice was surprised at the text message was an understatement. She was furious! "You sign up to one psychic hotline and everyone gets your number!! The fortune teller never saw that coming...haha." It took a few minutes after laughing at her amazing joke for her to realise just exactly what the message meant, and then a little longer to realise that it was meant for her. Well, Sailor Ate to be exact.
"Space? Injured? Food!?" She looked over at her fridge, the weekly shopping having only just been done. "But...its my food....NO! I must help! They can have the cottage cheese, thats not so out of date..." Her self sacrifice was touching.
***
The group was increasing, she had never seen so many senshi's in one place. They ranged from low to high rank and then there, the Zodiac soldier. She had never even heard of them before this night and here she was. The energy made the hair on the nape of her neck stand on edge and she wasted no time in announcing herself.
"Sailor Ate, Senshi of pollution here for duty! Dont let my sphere put you off, I make a mean cheese bagel! And I've brought towels, a toothbrush, people will have to share you know, and some potato chips! I'll have those civilians comfy and safe in no time! " The outcome of this statement would yet to be seen...

Flora joined Virgo at the fountain, looking almost as exhausted as the Zodiac Captain, but not quite. "I'll help." She told Virgo, patting her shoulder. "Rest here for a bit, okay? Can't have you collapse on us, after all!" Not when Cancer was already down and Chronos was worrying enough.
A grateful smile was beamed at Nemesis' way, glad to see a familiar face. "Thank you, everyone! I'll take three people first, then come back to take the others!" Flora took Nemesis' and Babylon's hands, urging Arsinoe to complete the circle and then disappeared with a 'pop'.
A few seconds later, Flora reappeared and held out her hands to Polaris, Vulpeculae and Ate. When they did the same, they would find themselves in the Surrounding, and Flora made her way back to the fountain to wait for others with Virgo.

Regulus wasn't sure, honestly, how much he'd be able to help when he got the call, but he'd figured it couldn't hurt to pitch in a bit while he could, and when he arrived, albeit a bit uncertainly. ((What the hell else was he going to do? offer to start the space BBQ grill?))
"I uh, brought some bandages and those ace bandages and stuff... and some other stuff." He'd brought beef jerky of various denominations, a couple liters of soda, and there appeared to be a box of Charleston Chews sticking out of the top." "I also grabbed some blankets and stuff, is there anything else they're gonna need? I can go get some more toothbrushes at the bargain store, toothpaste and crap like that. ....If someone needs uh... girl... stuff.... though it might be less weird if someone ELSE went and picked it up."

Space. The final frontier, and this time it had a distinct lack of a starship named Enterprise.
The message had been a simple one, but it left Sorrin sitting on the edge of his bed somewhat bewildered. Space? They could go into space? He knew he was named after a distant world as a Senshi, that powers they wielded where gifts from those worlds, but they could actually travel to them? Even more so; that people needed help outside the bounds of Earth?
Stumbling down the stairs to the workshop he breifly informed his parents he would be visiting and staying with Elzo for a few days. (Always a safe way to hide what he was up too) Grabbing a small medical kit that had quickly became half as empty after a close call in the Quail Eye Fields he powered up and vanished.
The next thing he knew he was in-front of a Fountain. Before him was Flora, and another Senshi he hadn't met. "Holy s**t the phone didn't lie..." He almost fell over in shock at the fact he had just traveled god knows how far and to where in the universe.
"H-hey Flora, sorry if I'm a bit late but, uh I brought some help? Pain killers, what little gauze I have left and some other random stuff." He glanced around frowning, "Wheres everyone else? Didn't the message go out to more people?"

"Good idea." Flora said to Regulus. "I'll probably pick up some girl stuff after we're done with this. Thank you so much!" She took his hand, and then beamed at seeing yet another familiar face, gratified that there were Senshi responding to their request for help. Not that she doubted them, of course, but to willingly come along when it was the Zodiac's domain and not theirs warmed her heart.
"Virgo's brought some to the Surrounding already, and I've just brought six." She held out her hand to Hephi and when he took it, they popped off to the Surrounding.

Perseus was more than a little upset and confused at the message she'd receive. Already, news of the mass disappearances had been circulating every major network, nationally and internationally as well. She had already been getting calls from her mother making sure that she really wanted to stay in a city made famous for mass bad luck and plagues among its populace.
The fact that the missing civilians were in the surrounding, of all places, was nearly beyond her. What had sent them there? And more importantly, what was keeping them there? The implications and severity of the problem were not lost on Perseus, nor was the sense of duty that called her to the fountain. She'd gathered what supplies she had, and purchased a fair number that she hadn't.
The super scout arrived with a backpack full of goodies for those trapped in space. Gauze, tape, bandaids, and general first aid supplies took up most of the space, while the rest was dominated by blankets and other miscellaneous supplies. The amount of senshi was less than she would have like to have seen, but honestly more than she'd been expecting. Perseus waited patiently, watching as Virgo and then Flora escorted scouts into the space around the surrounding.
Unbidden, a random thought popped into her head as she waited. Where was Kurma in all this? If anyone might have answers, it would be him. Perhaps she would seek out Chronos, who'd she'd seen and never met officially, and ask if he had made an appearance in this fiasco. "I'm ready to go whenever someone is willing to take me. I've brought what supplies I could get together, so maybe I could head to someplace less stocked up?" Perseus stepped up into the square, shouldering her bag and looking between the two zodiac sailors in front of her.

As the usual radio programming he listened to at work had been interspersed with news reports of the fifty-nine missing in Destiny City throughout the day, Paris couldn’t say he was all that surprised to receive a message on his phone revealing their whereabouts and calling for aid. Clearly something had happened. Fifty-nine people didn’t just vanish into thin air for no reason. He had assumed much worse, and didn’t know whether he should be thankful that they were in good hands, or annoyed that this was happening in the first place.
Try as he might, he couldn’t ignore the message. He remembered being in the midst of trouble as a civilian. He’d rather not have any other people put under similar experiences.
And so he gathered what supplies he thought would be useful – the first aid kit he had stashed under the sink at home, complete with Hello Kitty band-aids, gauze, antiseptic, and pain reliever, plus an unopened box of cheerios, a package of oreos, a bag of marshmallows, some towels, some shampoo and soap, some deodorant, some matches, a few candles, and a roll of bright blue duct tape, because you never know when it’d come in handy (and the normal gray was so dull).
Carrying all of this in a large cardboard box, Super Sailor Ganymede warily approached the fountain in Times Circle. He’d never met any of these Zodiac people that he could remember, so he had a hard time trusting that he wasn’t about to get himself dragged into a great deal of trouble.
“Er…” he began, not nearly as eloquent as he would have liked. “I’m Sailor Ganymede.” He almost added ‘of the Jovian Court’ to his introduction, but stopped himself before he did. He’d never been great at PR to begin with. Maybe some of the others would be a little more open should they decide to come. “I’ve got some food and a first aid kit, and some candles and bath stuff if they’re needed. I can do some basic first aid, and cook, too, if that’d be helpful at all…”

Moving was hell, and all the damn boxes were purgatory.
At least if your name was Xavier Avery and you owned stuff for about 3 people your age, and loathed to get rid of most of it. The furniture he had relented on at Bell's request, through he was still sad to see the old couch go. It was comfortable, damn it !
Most of the furniture had actually came with the apartment, which was handy, but Xavier had still spend most of two weeks putting his life into boxes, and now that they were all moved, he had to put it all back out.
Let's just say he had pretty much filled Bell's house by his lonesome, an house that was now home to an happy couple, a 10 years old, and two cats - one guardian, the other not.
He was still all but burried into boxes when Bell came to inform him of what was going on, and where she was going - first met by a 'What ?!' then with a loud yelp as he went and tripped right into one box.
s**t, hopefully that wasn't the NES cartridges... He would need to make sure later. What the ******** were the missing people doing in SPACE ?! He had no idea, and from the look of it, the zodiac didn't, either.
Bell had pretty much raided the house, so Xavier instead picked two backpacks and went to raid a nearby grocery store - food, canned mostly, but it was better than nothing... right ?
Thankfully, Eternal Sailor Themis had a much easier time carrying two backpacks full of canned goods (and a can opener - he wasn't stupid enough to think there might be can openers in space) than Xavier did, and while he was late to the party compared to his better half, he still got there pretty swiftly.
He just stood her, one backpack on his shoulder and the other lifted with one arm, giving Virgo a wave with his free hand. Now wasn't the time to boast about his upgrade, really.

Virgo had gone home to the Surrounding for a little rest, leaving Flora to take her place; it had been nice, to sit with Leo and just doze for a while. Now she returned, still tired and looking it, but ready to do her Captain's duty for the Surrounding. "I can only take you to my own outpost, but once you're there I'm sure someone will take the supplies to someplace in need," she said to the lovely dark-haired senshi; she smiled, and held out her hands just in time to see another senshi approach.
This one was a boy, with blonde hair and tall white boots. She smiled at him, a little nervously; the uniform he wore was so skimpy! But she could handle it. For the civilians! "That would be so useful, we'll send you right to Leo--I mean, if you want to stay up there for a while, if you don't, that's fine too, only all the civilians are kind of badly off…" She beamed at Themis as he arrived, but turned her attention back to the two senshi she didn't know. "I'm Captain Virgo of the Zodiac Guard. You'll need to find me or one of the other Zodiacs in order to get back, but we'll all be around. Just ask and someone can point us out."
She looped her arms through Themis and Ganymede's, and then took Perseus's hand in one of hers. With a soft pop, they disappeared.
A few moments later, Virgo returned, and settled herself on the fountain's edge.

Sailor Circe was not exactly the most, well, caring senshi. Sure, somewhere deep in her heart, she had some sort of sense of hospitality and graciousness. But that was really, really deep underneath her own ambition and desire to place herself ahead of others. So when Circe received the call to come aid bunch of civilians, she wasn’t exactly leaping at the chance to do so.
The redheaded senshi had to mull it over. Constantly going back and forth on if it was worth helping a bunch of people she didn’t know or care about versus going to space to see some mystical place. In the end, the promise of adventures in space was much more alluring than sitting on her a** at home eating cookies.
Of course, Circe didn’t have much in the way of medical supplies herself, but her father was a pharmaceuticals rep, there were always some kind of samples in the trunk of Henry Everett’s car. Before joining up with others at the statue, Sailor Circe went to borrow a few things from dear ol’ daddy. Mostly what she ending up bringing was anti-anxiety medications and mild painkillers. In a oversized tote bag she also was carrying a sleeping bag and pillows (for herself) and quite a few non-perishable goods that she had also borrowed from her parents’ home.
“I’m here! Sailor Circe! All ready and set to go . . . help.” Sailor Circe had to pause and remind herself she was suppose to go help people, and not go just for the fun of it. “I have Spaghetti-Os and some pills.” She smiled brightly, and nodded, thinking that would convince people of her motivations.

Nearly sixty people poofing in thin air was, sadly to say, almost Destiny City normal fare by this point. No wonder people were moving out in droves.
Having the same nearly sixty people pop up in space was, however, a little more unusual. At least as far as she knew - hell, it might be common s**t as far as she was aware ! But still.
Dude, what.
Her message back to Lina was short but to the point - a thorn notebook page, saying she was on it, and an elaborate mercury sigil dipped in ink.
The ring was useful, really. It hadn't left her finger ever since her ancestor had put it on, and she pretty much refused to let anyone touch it. Beside Erika.
Hesperis arrived with a small bag - mostly her toolbox (she probably wasn't gonna see it again, but... sigh.) and some soap, shampoo, and other nessecities - things she'd had on hand, more or less.
"Yo." She gave the blondes a wave. "Hesperis Page of Mercury, hopefully I ain't too late to this party ? Havn't got much, but I got two hands and I know how to use them."

Lily had gotten the call just like the other's, even with a few bruises mostly healed still on her, she got up and headed out of her room. She found her brother and told him she had to go. He was really worried and tried to stop her, but she shook her head. She smiled at him when he handed her a backpack saying it had medical supplies in it, even the sling from when she broke her shoulder.
Lily hugged her brother and headed back into her room, grabbing a duffle bag and tossing clothing into it. New things old, things, filling the bag half up before going to her brother and getting clothing from him too. Pajamas, t-shirts, sweatpants, and hoodies, things both had but rarely wore. She grabbed soap, wash clothes and towels and filled the rest of the bag up.
After that she was off. Sailor Maia arrived with a duffle on her shoulder and a backpack on her back, ready and eager to help. She walked up and introduced herself with a smile, "Sailor Maia, at your service. I brought medical supplies, even a sling, clothes, soap, wash cloths and towels. I hope it will help."

Istas and Ridley had gone over their plans on the phone. Istas explained things on the way as well. They had Zia for a babysitter when they got out of the car Istas looked around and took out her pen. "Zia your going too right?"
She wasn't sure if Zia was going to let Ridley know she was a cat too or not. She smiled at ********* before suiting up. Eternal Sailor Chibi Hug-bell stood there waiting for Ridley to do the same and Zirconia to show up.
She grabbed her bag from the car after doing so. "Sooo... We should go right?"
She started heading towards the park where the message had indicated, hoping the others would catch up. She was edger to get there and help out the best she could.
She puffed up her chest when they arrived and announced, "Sailor Chibi Hug-bell, Senshi of Comfort reporting for duty." She stood there like a good little solider, "I brought friends too." She glanced back at the rag-tag group, that included another chibi and two cats. She'd let them introduce themselves.

Before Istas and Zia had picked her up, Ridley had grabbed what she could in the ways of medical supplies and snacks. Having a firefighting dad helped have them have some pretty cool stuff. She would have taken all of it if it weren't for the fact someone would have noticed.
The rest was filled from a quick trip to the pharmacy, where she also grabbed what she could on her small allowance and legally being able to buy - a few blocks back and by the time she managed her way home ********* and the others were waiting for her.
"We should totally go," Hygiea replied happily. Having transformed after taking the hint when Istas had transformed herself. She reached into the car as well to pull out her bag, noticing the lighter weight from the shift of forms.
The senshi of herbs waited a little longer for ********* to climb on her shoulders until she raced after HugBell to the fountain and the awaiting senshi.
"Hi!" She waved, "I'm Sailor Chibi Hygiea," noticing that the other stated her power, she added in, "senshi of herbs! This is *********! I brought snacks and stuff."
