Pippin had caught wind from his friend Shenna that there was going to be a training going on and he was needed to damped the power signal and he was more then happy to help out. She was nice and he had helped her out once before so it wasn't like he couldn't say no.
He quickly walk in and looked from senshi to senshi and let out a small smile when he say that his tiger was there, training even if she was a eternal it was still super cool that she was here training and helping others. He was even going to say hi but that was when he say something Shiny, no something enchanting and he had all but forgotten his tiger. "OOOH Shinny Senshi!" he said trotting over to her. "Ohhh! Shiny! You're very pretty, may I have some of you shiny bracelets, pleassseeeee?" he said looking up to her with big kitty eyes.

Maia frowned at Lassell question and decided to forgo answering as she would have not been surprised, but at the same time these things could surprisingly slip ones mind. "You look great Lassell, congratulations. I'm glad to see you have made it to squire. I'm really proud of you." She looked to Shang and then Pompeii and Tortali. "All of you. You're all amazing."
Maia looked to the new comers getting name times affixed to them and smiling. "Thanks for coming," she said softly looking to the names tags and recalling Deneb had been at the last session. "This session will be a little different from last time but we will have a demonstration so you can know what is expected. There is bug spray on the cooler and water inside it."
She turned to here Ida calling to her and bringing a long a small friend and she couldn't help but to smile before she was distracted by her brother's voice in her ear. "Speaking of demonstration. I think Ida would be good for that. She's been to both training session before this and I've sparred with her a couple times now. She's pretty good."
Maia nodded, "I'll talk to her about it in a few minutes. Lets get all the greeting out of the way first."
She turned back to Ida who know stood with them, "Hey, good to see you again. I see you brought a friend," she said looking at the chibi [Florentina] before passing Ida and the little girl name tags and Sharpies that Shang handed her.
"So who are you? I think I can tell what your sphere is, Lilies right? But you'll have to tell me your name."
Shang found himself greeting a fellow [Falias] knight that approached the group and handing him a sharpie and a name tag. Ironically though they were on Camelots team neither had met nor knew the other was a teammate. "Thanks for coming. Just put your name on the tag and Maia will explain how the session will work soon, just mingle until them. There's also bug spray on top of the ice cooler of by the fence and drinks as well.
He moved turning to address Medea, giving her the same short explanation he gave Falias and handing her a sharpie and a name tag. He didn't recall seeing her before either and was happy to see so many new faces. It seemed the training session idea was getting around.
He and Maia both looked up with Tsui entered and began a friendly exchange with Ida. Maia have a small a laugh at the interaction enjoying the obvious alliance. "Ida's been to each those far and Shang seems to think she is very good. Good enough that I would like to use her for the demonstration today," she looked to Ida, "as long as you are willing."
Maia couldnt hold her attention in one place for long as Pharos bound in with a friend and Syne came rushing in right behind her. "Welcome back Pharos," she said waving the girl over before ruffling Chibi Syne's hair and nodding. "Oh course I remember you. You sparred with Columba, then you both worked with me. I'm glad you came, but dont run off at the end okay. I'll take you home."
Let me know if you would like to keep the spars to this thread of if you would like me to do a thread for each group. Will do the majority preference, just spoiler you preference in your next post. You do not need to quote me. I will check every post.
It had been almost two months or so about since Falias took Camelot up on his offer to join the older Knight's team and apart from Camelot had no idea who the other members were. It was ironic that one of his team mates was at the training session, although like Shangri-la he was unaware of the fact.
He recognised the other knight from the previous training session though, although he was pretty sure that the other's outfit had changed and, come to think on it, his aura felt stronger too.
Taking the sharpie and name tag, he wrote his name down before handing the sharpie back.
Of the people there, he recognised Lassell and Pompeii both from the previous session and from the later Knights training event, although neither of them had been on his team, noting that Lassell's outfit also appeared to have changed slightly.
He also recognised the purple-haired senshi who it seemed was just behind him, giving Medea a smile as he waited to hear what training would entail this time round.

Despite Pharos's excitement, Sidouer found herself feeling a little reluctant about going to the training session. It's not really that she was feeling shy, if anything she was more nervous about making a fool out of herself.
"A lot?" she questioned Pharos with a raised eyebrow'exactly how many people were involved in this war?' she thought. When she initially agreed to come along she assumed a small handful of people.. now she began to wonder.
Sidouer stepped through the fence and watched as Pharos took off running to the group of powered up individuals all the while motioning for her to follow. "Please please let tonight go well" she said to herself before swiftly walking over to the group "Umm, Hi" she said with a nervous lopsided smile. 'please..' she thought again.
I'm so sorry I miss read the time zone Her height is 5'-4" as a civ otherwise it's 5'-6" with the heels in senshi form. As for where it's posted it doesn't matter to me.
Hearig a familiar voice seemed to ease some tiny bit of tension Ida hadn't even known she had and a big smile spread on her have as she turned to see one of her team mates arriving.
"Tsui! Didn't you get my texts?" She called, waving excitedly. "I keep trying to get you to come out to these things. Come meet my new friend." Ida gently squeezed the hand of her small companion and her smile turned into one of pride. Hopefully she wasn't too nervous about all the new people... This was probably one of the safest places for her, besides the moon or her own planet.
Hearing Maia speaking to them, Ida turned to take a name tag and write her name and sphere on it.
"This is Florentina, guys. Florentina, these are my friends and they're all senshi or knights like us. That's Tsui, Maia, Shangri-la, Lassell... Um, I'm not sure if I've met everyone else, though." She said with a giggle, shrugging her shoulders lightly.
Being singled out by Maia though was an unexpected development as she blushed and scuffed a foot on the ground. "Um... Yeah, of course! Whatever you need me for, Maia, I'm happy to help out! Florentina, you'll be okay with Tsui around, right? I'm not going to go very far." Part of her worried about something so small as just letting go of the Chibi's hand, though the other part of her wanted the little girl to be strong and confident with all these new people she could be friends with. Matthew called it 'mother-henning' and it was one of her qualities he was constantly yelling at her for. She couldn't help it... She just wanted the people she cared about to be safe and happy...
Ida is a happily average 5'4". Oddly enough, the tallest in the family so far xD I want to say seperate threads might be best... maybe meet back here afterwards to finish this off? whatever works.

Medea smiled at Falias and lifted a hand in greeting. He saved her from Realgar, and for that she owed him everything. If they were paired together, at least she would know his fighting style, but she figured she would lose given his willingness to fight and her reluctance. Even in scenarios specifically to encourage fighting, Medea felt hesitant. That was, in fact, the primary reason she attended: To overcome her reluctance. If she ran from the fray whenever she sensed danger, she would never fulfill her Senshi duties, and thus, she would disappoint her mentors.
She wondered if any of them attended, but before she could look, an ADORABLE kitten rushed to her side. His sparkly, large eyes warmed her heart and internally squealing, she thought, WHAT DO YOU WANT YOUR CUTENESS MAKES MY HEART SING.
"Thank you, adorable one!" she slid off one of her purple and white bracelets and crouched to hand it to the cat.
A kind of silence filled Avior's house hold today. Most of the household was gone. Why wouldn't they? It was a perfectly nice summer afternoon, there was no reason for anyone to be around. With it being so empty, he excitedly powered up infront of the mirror in his bedroom. His new outfit.. His new power.. A confidence he had not felt for a long time filled him today. He WAS going to get stronger. And he was going to find other people to practice with too.
An invitation from Maia arrived with simply perfect timing. There was no more time for hiding away from the world in his room. Certainly, he didn't know who to trust, White Moon, Dark Moon, Nega, or anything else, but that did not mean he should just be weak!
It didn't take long for him to reach the designated area, feeling several different auras around him at once. All seemed at peace; no one in this area felt aggressive like they would attack him at any moment. With a deep breath, he approached the group, recognizing some.
"Um... Hello, I.. I uh, I'm here for training.." Damn his voice! Even if he FELT confident, his timidness when it came to other powered people was still there.. Civilians, whole different story.

Avior is an itty bitty 5ft 3in tall, and it can be in a separate one for me. Easier to keep track of who's talking to me! XD

The little chibi senshi have a big grinned. He was so happy that Ms. Maia had remembered him. It made him feel very special. He giggled as she ruffled his hair and wiggled a bit. "Yep! That's me! And Sure! I'll make sure that I stay here until the very end for you can take me home." he said with a slight giggle.
He looked around at the other people that was standing next to Ms. Maia and saw that there was another chibi that looked right around his age and turn his attention to her. With a bright smiled he walked up to her and started to talk, "Hi! I'm chibi sailor Euphrosyne! It's nice to know that another chibi sailor is here with me! How old are you! I just turned 8 at a few weeks ago! The reason why I've ask is because I meet a lot of other chibi but none of them look around my age but you do! Are you 8 like me?" He gave a soft giggle.
X---------------------------------X Score! He knew that his kitty eyes would work. Girls like her was a sap when it came to his big seafoam eyes. No girl could ever resist them....welll except for one but she was also half cat and half devil and Pippin dislike her greatly. He gave out a lot squeal as the girl took off a bracelet and snatch it up as quickly as possible. "Thank you so much!" he said hugging her and then tending back to his new shiny.
Kaori_luv
It doesn't matter to me. Euphrosyne is a short boy at 3' 7"
Troy Squire hadn't gone to the first training, although his friend Aster had gone and relayed the message to him while in the hospital. Between the beating he received trapped inside a battered car at the bare hands of Titanlåvenite, the attacks on the carnival, the deaths of his friends, his own abduction, and now Haley's trip to hospital...if the summer was teaching him anything, it was that he wasn't nearly as prepared for this war as he needed to be even with the help of Camelot and his friends. Perhaps some further training would help that...
He arrived feeling a bit late to the session, but hurried over to a curly haired redhead as soon as he arrived.
"Uh, am I late? Do I sign up anywhere?" Troy asked to Shangri-La, southern drawl thick as ever. "Er, and oh yeah, my name's Troy Squire of Chronos."

Tsui didn't want to admit that she saw several unfamiliar faces here, one of which being the one who seemed responsible for this little gathering. It was no fault in them but rather, in herself, and she felt that her duties as Eternal were slipping. She wouldn't dwell on it, though, as it only served to get her motivated to do better anyways.
She flashed Ida an inquisitive look, before admitting, "I've been dealing with a new addition to the family, so that's been eating up most of my time... and minutes on my phone. By the time I checked them, it was too late... but not this time!"
Now, she was here, and she was ready for some action. She looked at Maia, giving her a confident nod, showing her eagerness but also her seriousness when it came to training. "I can't wait to see what you have in store for us. When do we start?"
Tsui is 5'0". Short tiger is short.

Pompeii nodded hello to the rest of the team and stuck her tongue out at Shang. It was still early but it didn't mean that he had to point that out. She nearly made a sarcastic response when she got a better look at Lassell's outfit. He had gotten stronger and it seemed he was now a Squire with the outfit upgrade that came with it. How did that happen? When did it happen? What did it take for it to happen? Did Pompeii want to become a Squire herself? Would she not become more of a target because of the stronger power signal?
Many questions swirled in her mind and before she was able to quiet her thoughts enough to ask how he had become a Squire others arrived at the training. One of the three girls that showed up next was even a team member... something that Pompeii didn't know about. She was doing her best to become a better knight and keeping her head above water with all the information she had been picking up, that something like this really threw her for a loop. What was this other senshi's powers? Was she more defensive then offensive? Was she more 'hit first then ask questions' or something along the lines of 'think it out'? Pompeii wished desperately for something that had all this information written down in. Almost like a senshi and knight field guide, but it wasnt something that she felt right creating on her own. What would happen if someone found it? So many secrets or strategies could be used against them if such a book found its way into the wrong hands.
Shaking off the chills she felt run up her spine at the thought of such a deadly mishap Pompeii quickly murmured hello to all three before placing a name tag with 'POMPEII' scrawled on it on her bodice. She remained quiet and observed the others as more and more people showed up. Knights and senshi, beginners like herself and strong ones like Maia, chibi's and even two cats. Quite a few she had seen at the other training but there were new faces in the crowed as well. She was very surprised to see an eternal (Tsui) that she might have seen at the carnival months ago. Such an outfit was hard to forget but it would have only been seen from the corner of her eye and in passing so Pompeii might be wrong about that. She watched and analyzed as everyone greeted each other. Who would be the defensive player in a group, who the leader? Who would dive into danger, who would stand back and create a plan of attack?
This way of thinking was amusing but overall pointless since she would have to get to know each person well before she could determine such personal questions. Pompeii is more of a strategist but for a good friend she would fly in with little thought if that is what was called for. So many variables for so many people but as Sun Tzu said "Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster" so even if these mental excises seemed pointless they at least allowed Pompeii to understand herself better.
Pompeii is about 5'5" in flats and her outfit heals are about 2 1/2 inch so *shrugs* and separate would be easier to keep track of things i think

Maia waved people over as more and more people showed up, trying to split her focus between greetings and chatting while she waiting for everyone to show up. Florentina's introduction was met with a very pleased to meet you before Maia focus was once again on Ida who was having a bashful moment, nodding at her agreement to help and letting her know they would be starting soon.
When Avior showed up Maia could help but to grin as she hadn't seen the boy in some time and she was even more excited. "Avior," she called waving for the boy to come over. "You're just in time. We're about to start in a moment or two."
When little Syne agreed to stay so she could take him home, she decided to remember to make sure to offer that to everyone else as well. She doubted everyone would be willing to power down and head to her car at the end of all this, but she also thought some would very much appreciate it.
Maia grinned at Tsui happy to see the other so eager to get started, "Just waiting for the stragglers than we'll start right in. The demonstration will show you how this will work. And if anyone gets confused I'm happy to answer questions before everyone starts."
Shangri-La shook his head at the squire who came a last, "no sign up and you're right on time. We are about to start in just a minute. We're a little after 10 now, so you'll likely be the last."
He nodded taking note of the name and handing the squire a name tag and a sharpie. "Nice to meet you Troy. Hope you enjoy the training session and its of some help to you."
He turned and looked to Maia who was gathering everyone up for the demonstration and calling everyone attention before she motioned for Shang, Ida and Lassell to come to her side.
When Maia called everyone to order Sheena appeared out of the blue running up to the little kitty Pippin from her post at the fence, happy the cat had showed up with so many power signatures around. He could help her.
"Pippin," she called out to him with a huge smile on her face running right up to him and Medea. She looked to the senshi of enchantment and smiled, "Sorry Sailor Medea, but I need to borrow him so he help me make sure we aren't found by the wrong sort of attention."
She turned to Pippin, "come no, we've got work to do. These signatures wont dampen themselves."
]Maia now stood with Ida, Shang and Lassell ready to begin the demonstration. There was a small discussion about dynamics, but after a moment Maia turned back to the group. A small group, which Maia had expected being a weekday night and knowing people had jobs to attend to in the morning, but there was still a decent amount.
"Alright everyone thank you for coming out tonight to participate in another training session. Again tonight you will gain battle experience. You will work with a partner, using your magic if you need to to win the spar. It will be five hits to win, five total, one to each partner at least."
She smiled and motioned to Ida, "tonight as with the first session we will do a quick demonstration for you. Ida and," she motioned to Shang, "Shangri-la will spar against myself and," she motioned to Lassell, "Lassell."
"Alright, well start now. Pay close attention."
She moved over to Lassell before turning to Ida and Shang and nodding, "everybody ready?"
Lassell
Lassell blinked and nodded his head "more or less ready" he said. He stood beside Maia glancing over at Shang and Ida. Whoo, another training session tons of fun, not the best way to spend summer but it was a good way to keep his skills and himself on his toes.
Ida
There had been some shuffling and a few quiet whispers between the orchid senshi and her companion before the older girl left her sitting with Tsui. Ida was decidedly pleased to be called on to participate in the demonstration and there was color on her cheeks as she sidled up to Shang. She gave the group a wave as she was introduced and a bright smile was offered to her partner.
"Ready? It'll be fun to be side by side this time, rather than facing each other." She laughed as she clasped her hands behind her back, rocking on her heels.
Shangri-la
Shang watched as Ida came over to him and offered his own smile before nodding, "I feel slightly bad for them. They've no idea what they've gotten themselves into if you use you petal attack. I'm definitely glad we are on the same team."
He gave a small laugh before turning to Maia and Lassell and giving a nod. "We're ready to start and I don't think you to stand a chance." He was also better his sister would not sure her magic which would give them an advantage because Maia didn't like taking advantage of her unfair advantage.
Maia
Maia nodded and took a stance motioning for Lassell to do the same before decided right off to start and head straight for Ida jumping at the girl and aiming a punch at her torso. She expected Lassell to cover her and watch for Shang, which she knew he would do. Even though they barely fought together when they did fight together it seemed to turn out just well.
She grinned feeling confident but not overly so, after all she did train her brother and Ida had attended all of her training sessions thus far. Now wasn't the time to be cocky, well never was, but that aside.
Lassell
Lassell, nodded his head before shifting into his fighting stance and then guarding Shang, he aimed his punch towards the fellow knight's side. If any Maia took any damage he would have a way to make her recover from it. He shifted his footing so he was on the balls of his feet at least if he did that he would have speed and agility to aid him.
Ida
Ida gave Shang a playful wink before she focused on the pair across from them, dropping her arms loosely by her sides and rocking on her toes. Brown eyes widened as Maia rushed her right off the bat, but she danced back out of the way, turning to keep her back to her partner rather than allow the eternal to separate them and get her out on her own. It was one of the things that she often thought senshi and knights forgot... that there were other people out there who were fighting the good fight, and too many tried to go it alone. It was better to stick with the people who would fight with you, because two together was way stronger than two separated. Using her spin, she brought her hand down in a chopping motion at where Maia was going to be, letting her momentum bring her fist down on the other senshi if she wasn't quick enough to recover from her attack.
Shangri-la
Shang gave a small chuckle at the wink and smiled to himself before his attention was turned to the task at hand. He frowned slightly at Maia going after Ida, but was impressed as Ida managed to avoid the blow which was more that he could say for himself since in his momentary distraction he found Lassell's fist connecting with his side.
A point against them already, thought, whincing slightly, as he kicked out at Lassell to get the other knight away from him before backing up to be a little closer to Ida. He took a fighting stance ready for the next attack decided to defend for the time being.
Maia
Maia herself was impressed with Ida's block and grinned at the girl as she narrowly dodged Ida's return attack and dropped right into her next attack, classic Maia and Shang, though Maia preformed it better, sweeping her leg out a little higher than ankle height to knock Ida's feet out from underneath her. She wanted to watch the other girl hit the ground before she took the opportunity to take a shot at Shang.
Briefly she looked to make sure Lassell wasn't to far away and fairing okay against Shang only to see her brother on the defensive as often was the case.
Lassell
Lassell grinned slightly and briefly glanced over at Maia to make sure the two hadn't separated. He dropped low in hopes to make Shang lose his balance, he spun and aimed a kick that was a inch and half up from his ankles.
Ida
The low kick was almost expected, it was such a common move... she'd done it herself many times. Seeing Maia drop, Ida was ready for the kick and she jumped.... and kept on going up. She used her senshi abilities to good advantage here to get herself up out of range, and since this was a 'everything goes' spar... decided it was time break out some magic. "Beautiful Petal Barrage!" She shouted as she swept her hands outwards, casting a trail of glowing petals. They hardened into needles that sprayed outwards and downwards, blanketing the area below and in front of the orchid senshi. Another good thing about keeping your back to your partner... this forward facing attack would not be getting any collateral damage.
Shangri-la
Shang had been expecting Lassell to drop in a kick, but he was use to the move so as soon as Lassell went down and swung out his leg Shang jumped up to avoid it. He countered with a kick to Lassell side while the other was still down before quickly backing up until his back was to Ida's after hearing her call out her attack.
He summoned his weapon and quickly told her just loud enought for her to hear, "switch with me." This training session was not only about fighting with one's magic but about teamwork as well. Shang thought a quick switch was a good and startling move.
Maia
Maia was continuely impressed with Ida and couldn't help but to feel good about the spar being well matched. That thought however fled when she was showered with needle like petal which torn at her skirt and and boot, but thankfully didn't do to much damage with her layers.
She did however find herself scrambling together away from it and unfortunately distancing herself from Lassell who'd have a harder time helping her if she was too far away.
Lassell
Lassell winced as he hit the ground, now it was tied at 1 for both sides. He blinked as Maia scrambled away from the needles now he couldn't help her. He pushed himself up with his hands and shook his head to regain his balance and shake off the impact from being kicked. He took a few moments to get to his feet and summoned his own weapon but it wouldn't help with Maia so far away from him. He and Maia would definitely lose this spar if they didn't get back together. He muttered as they separated and he had no time to reassess their tactic.
Ida
A voice in her ear telling her to switch was all the suggestion Ida needed when she landed from her attack. That was gonna be all she was gonna use of that, so the rest of this would be won with fists... Not daring to do any fancy anything without having practiced it with Shang, Ida rocked onto one leg and spun to face the other direction, using her slight frame to advantage. It let her move faster and more nimbly that some bigger opponents, and kept her openings to a minimum... or at least it was supposed to. Facing up Lassell now, someone she had never faced before, the orchid senshi decided to borrow a page from Maia's book and she rushed the squire without giving anyone time to really register the change in opponents. Her fists were the weapons this time, a flurry of short punches aimed for the central area of his body.
Shangri-la
Shang turned when he felt Ida turn and it was not time for him to face Maia. He knew he shouldn't give his sister any chance to register the change and so just as Ida did he rushed at her jabbing his weapon out and concentrating on his magic in an attempt to use it, something he did not often do, before pulling away and making sure to note that was the third hit for them if Ida's attack counted and he was sure it did.
He followed up his weapon jab with a kick out to try to know Maia off her feet and a punch to her side. He noted that she seemed kind off off and figured his magic must be effecting her
Maia
Maia noticed the switch, but not quick enough to keep her brother from landing a blow to her side with his staff and using his magic on her. It felt like nothing happened until he went to hit her again and her reaction time was slowed and she almost forgot what to do. She jumped at the last minute eyes wide and barely spun out off the way of his punch.
This was the first time she was getting a taste of his magic and she definitely didn't like it. It was time to get back to Lassell. She stepped back and lept forward, over and past Shang to land just behind Lassell her back to him.
She over jumped a bit, which made her frown wondering if it was still her brother's magic.
Lassell
Lassell, took a few moments to register the switch before spinning to the side to avoid the short punches he was recieving from the orchid senshi. Relief passed over him as Maia returned his own back against Maia's. He wondered if he would have enought time to use his own magic, he decided not to think but hooked the other loop on his harp his wrist before holding it close to his body and then focussing to start playing his tune. Hopefully this would give them a small advantage.
Ida
His dodging was annoying, but at least he didn't take advantage of her recovery to attack her. The harp though... that was worrying. Ida had no idea what sort of magic Lassell had. Dancing back, hands up in defense, she moved to make room for Shang now that his opponent was in front of her. It occured to her that maybe she should have been proactive about it and knocked the harp out of his hands, but too late now. "Shang, you good?" She called as she shifted herself to the side away from him, trying to get a better view of where Maia was.
Shangri-la
Shang gave a nod when Ida returned to his side, "yeah I'm fine. We're doing pretty good I think. And it seems like my magic threw Maia for a look for a minute. We better not give em time to get there barring though."
"I try to hit Lassell with my magic and you can hit Maia. Ive only got two more hits of magic, so we have to quick." He nodded and rushed at Lassell despite what he was doing with his harp. He didn't notice any small cuts Maia had gotten were gone and she seemed more alert, but it hardly matter as he swung his staff at Lassell.
Maia
Maia watched as the few small cuts she got healed up and looked over to Lassell in time to see Shang rushing at him. She was tempted to throw her magic at her brother, but there was no way avoid Lassell so she rushed at the pair of them instead hoping to reach Lassell before Shang hit him with his little staff trick.
She would have to let Ida and Shang both know how impressed she was with the teamwork and with making the demonstration a success.
Lassell
Lassell, blinked as he finished playing his harp and he dropped it his eyes widening a bit. Okay..so timing it right was on his side but the consequences of it was that he wouldn't dodge quick enough to avoid getting hit with Shang's staff. In a quick but short reaction time he ducked but Shang's staff grazed him on the shoulder.
Ida
Ida was close behind Shang as the four of them all rushed together at once. She dodged around her partner to literally tackle the eternal senshi of song, despite knowing that Maia had a level up on strength over her. The slight senshi was not normally a grappler type, but sometimes doing the unexpected thing helped win the day. If they could separate the two again, they could work on keeping them off balance and reacting, rather than moving first...
Shangri-la
Shang felt his staff connect with Lassell however breifly it may have been, it still counted as a hit he was sure. So that made it 4 hits for them and the likelihood of them winning very soon, very high. Still he felt like Maia was playing and that they wouldnt win in his sister used her magic or really gave it her all. He didn't think she was doing that.
He turned dancing away from Lassell and trying to keep a good distance to Ida but only being able to the give the girl brief glances, not wanting Lassell to take it to him.
Maia
Maia caught the motion coming toward her even if she hadn been looking over the effects of Lassell's magic. She barely spun around in time to dance away from the girl and ended up hopping back repeatedly in an attempt to dodge her, but in the end found herself tackled by Ida, before letting out a laugh and calling the match.
"That's five I believe. Good job you guys. You took full advantage of you're having sparred together before. It was really great teamwork. Thank you three for helping with the demonstration anc congratulation to Ida and Shangri-la on the win"
She gave a smile and focused more fully on the group, "okay. I'm going to take a moment to organize the pairs and then the groups. Mingle while I do so, the spars will start in just a few minutes."
Shangri-la
Shang grinned at Ida feeling please with there win and accomplished for once in this being a knight thing. He went over to her and gave her a one armed hug whispers a quick thanks and congrats before moving over to his sister to help with sorting everyone into pairs and groups.
Lassell
Lassell frowned slightly as Shang and Ida won the battle but he nodded his head and a slight smile "Good team work guys" he said. Before letting out a small sigh, He and Maia needed to spar more together but they mostly went out on dates and what not together. He stretched and hummed himself.
Ida
The flower senshi grinned as she managed to make contact with Maia and she laughed with her as she let go and straightened up. Suddenly feeling embarrassed, her cheeks flushed as she smiled and scuffed a boot against the grass. "You're welcome! I'm sure things could have gone a lot differently, but it was fun." Pink cheeks turned to flaming red as Shang came over to hug her, her smile spreading wide over her face as she squirmed. Honestly, it was more him that had won the match than her, she had just used his attacks to augment her own. When Ida was finally released, she retreated to find her companion and go join Tsui in waiting for the pairs to be sorted.
Respond as you see fit. Ask questions if you like. And the groups pairs and rp links will be up tomorrow morning or tomorrow night when I get off from work. It's like 3am now and Kao needs to sleep.

"Thanks," Troy Squire said with a hesitant nod to Shangri-la. He wasn't entirely sure what he had gotten himself into and more and more participants were showing up and interacting. He couldn't help but realize...most of them were so tiny.
It looked like a fair amount of them were children, but even the older looking Senshi and Knights were several inches or entire feet shorter than the blonde Squire of Chronos. Standing tall at six-foot-one and weighing nearly two-hundred pounds of pure muscle with minimal body fat at twenty-three years old...he wasn't sure if it'd even be a fair match against the children or the other tiny allies. Then again, he'd also be resistant to attack - especially to beat them with his weapon, a wooden baton shaped like a branch.
The southerner watched the demonstration between Ida, Shangri-La. Maia and Lassell to get a feel of what was going to happen. It looked like something he could manage - and probably some effective training, too - although he may have to hold back some force depending on his target. Or even so, he didn't exactly want to pummel an ally.
"Oh no worries!" Medea said as the cats went on their way, and she watched the battle. FFFFFFFF. They expected her to do that? She could dodge maybe, but her punches and kicks seemed ferocious as a summer breeze. Maybe she could fight like Ida--clever and focused with an emphasis on defense, jabs and zoning?
Magic, though, seemed unfamiliar and relatively new. She wondered how it would influence her.
"HMM."
Medea furrowed her brow and pressed her hands to her cheeks. This would be an interesting fight...
