Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Naica." He said with a nod. "P-Page of Cosmos." Daniel was a shy one... and thus so was Naica. It couldn't be helped.

"There's a little bit of everything in here." He lifted the first bag on the table, careful not to send Pomona's basket toppling over. That would be bad ! And he would be so embarrassed... Not that he wasn't already. "I've... been sorting incoming supplies and helping carrying them where they're needed. "So that's food, and there's at least ten can openers..."

Apparently Themis wasn't the only one to think that space probably didn't come with can openers. The bag was unzipped and it's contents spread out - cans of soup, cans of beans, cans of vegetables, never not cans it seemed - it really was the most convinent thing people are reached for - carefully bundled vegetables out of someone's garden, a bag of romaine salad, a slightly squished but perfectly fresh loaf of pre-sliced bread (whole wheat - Naica approved) were among the things contained in this bag.

The loathed (for Pollux) chocolate was probably hiding in one of the others.

Grus was confused for a moment longer, then smiled, waving her question off. "I guess I've just met so many Senshi that I can't remember just who I know and who maybe I've seen in passing!" The clean dishes were starting to be used, and a mountain more brought over.

She looked to the nervous Knight, Naica and said sweetly "Would you like to help me with the dishes? I'm sure there are towels or some sort of fabric we can use to dry them, and with the mountain I've got here, it'll take me till dinner's done just to get bowls and spoons for everyone! I'll be right back."

Another sweet smile, and she ran off towards the living quarters to inquire about soap and towels. She returned a good five to ten minutes later, and Pomona and Pollux were already opening cans and chopping vegetables. She eyed the good that Naica brought, nodding in approval at the bread, and then placed her goods next to the sinks. There were three mid sized towels, probably brought for face washing, and a good sized container of soap.

Grus cast an encouraging glance at Naica, and set to work rubbing the dirt off with one towel, rinsing them in the sink next to the one filled with dishes, and then placing them on a second towel on the counter. The third lay nearby, if someone was so inclined to dry.

Maia walked into the kitchens wanting to find something else to do for a while. She really wanted to be able to help and meet everyone wondering about. She blinked and grinned when she walked into the kitchen and saw mostly senshi she was familiar with as well as a knight and one senshi she did not think she had seen before.

"Hey guys, mind if I join the kitchen brigade for a while. I'm not the most fantastic cook, but I can help, I'm good at cutting and measure and I can definitely follow directiong. But elsewise I am sure you all need a good dish washer."

She rocked slightly on her heels with a smile looking to each kitchen helper, "Polaris, Pollux, Grus, Pomona," she all gave them a nod, then to the other two, "I'm Sailor Maia. Nice to meet you," she said in a sing songy voice.

Grus wrinkled her nose at the thought of cucumber water, but lemon water sounded good! She voice her opinion and vote for lemon water, all while not releasing a large plate that would NOT let go of it's dirt. She scrubbed hard, hands under the water until she felt the clump give way.

She put the plate carefully into the rinse water next to her, keeping an eye on her dish partner. Naica seemed to be rather nervous, and when he expressed that he was new to the whole saving-the-world business, she smiled. Poor guy.

"I think Cosmos is a place." She said, grabbing a cup off the counter. "It's just a really big place. Kinda like, all the space that isn't taken up by planets. That's a pretty cool responsibility. Your not really tied down to any one place. Like me, I get my power from a constellation. But you." She paused her cleaning, looking at the purple haired boy. "You get your power from the universe itself." Her eyes sparkled.

"That's way cooler than any ol' planet."

Pollux nodded his head at Maia, "The more help the better. Counter the the 'too many cooks in the kitchen'." He inclined his head at some of the produce. "Washing the vegetables and getting them ready would help for or you can-" Looking they were rather all self sufficent. "Just help where you feel best.

At Naica's question Pollux chuckled. "Apparently so. According to my brother, she's the one who purified-" A twitch in his eye went off, "my sister-in-law, Lina. I've not encountered her, but I'm sure she's somewhere in Destiny City. Can't imagine she does regular patrols like the rest of us. Seems a bit less when you can cure people from corruption." Shrugging, the senshi of frost picked up the now heavy pot and took it to the sink. Time to add the water, on can at a time. He was fine with waiting as the other washed dishes or cleaned vegetables. They hadn't started actually cooking yet.

"But like Grus said, your power likely comes from another source. I'm not sure how it works with Knights to be honest, Line-" another twitch, "-would know more about such things. After this is all said and done I can give you her information if you want." No skin of his back, he was a senshi, knights were fine but he hardly understood them.

Polaris's words got Pollux moving, filling the pot before moving it back to the stove and grabbing a second empty pot. "There should be a few loaves in one of the baskets, we can always make more later. It's where I left the noodles in any case." Just what his second pot was for, noodles. Lots of them if the size was anything to go by.

He still looked nervous, and Grus sighed quietly, moving the dishes closer to the sink. They were making progress, only two stacks remained next to the one Polaris brought over. They had started making the soup now, and Grus could hear chopping behind her.

"Cosmos is a person too huh?" She said absently, taking another plate out of the water. "I didn't know that!" She wanted to meet this 'Sailor Cosmos' now, and find out just how she got such a powerful sphere. She must be important. Maybe she could even tell Grus about this Moon Princess she heard about!

"I still think being a knight of Cosmos is cool." She said, trying her best to get this Naica to lighten up. He just seemed so scared! "Speaking of being a Knight, do you guys have magic like us? I've only ever met one other Knight, and he said he really didn't have any that he knew of. But he was a knight of Earth, not the Cosmos."

Maia nodded at Pollux, grabbed up the vegetables and set to washing them. She listened to the conversation mostly silent, having heard a little about Cosmos and knowing she would eventually want to meet the other. Still there was little she could add to the conversation.

When Polaris spoke she grinned and thought about the knights she had met, until this adventure her total had been a whopping three. "I'm pretty sure Valhalla has a compass and I know Camelot has a shield, but I do not think either has any sort of magic yet."

She carefully placed the vegetables in a basket after washing them and looked Pollux, "do you need them chopped, which ones and how much?"

She paused to look at the crystal. "Ohhhh what a pretty crystal!" she exclaimed, almost grabbing his hand in an effort to see it better. Seeing his "weapon" though, Grus understood why he was scared. When all she had was her power to protect her, she was scared. Her fear of hand to hand combat still caught up with her....

"You know, if your worried about fighting, I know someone who is trying to teach me." She said, looking back up at his face. "Granted, he's kindof a jerk, and he doesn't sugar coat anything. But he's helped me a lot with my...problems Senshi wise." She skipped over the part where she used to be unable to throw a punch without puking. Such things weren't told to strangers.

"If you want, I could maybe send him a message, arrange a meeting? He might be able to help you too."
