Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shang's confusion quickly fled him when he saw the shade Princess, watching as the senshi that called them here and seemed to be calling the shots became a princess as well. The tackled had him wincing, know it had to have hurt, but he couldn't dwell on that long as the color Princess called to attack and everyone started at the shade doing just that.

Shang didn't think the thing would possibly last long, but at the same time, he knew just how vicious the shade could be. Trying to not think on it too much, he entered the frey ready to help take the monochrome Princess down.

As soon as he was close enough, he followed the other's lead as attacked physically. He spun into a kick, aiming with his long legs for the monochrome Princess' shoulders.

He moved quickly out of the way not wanting to possible be accidentally on the recieving end of one there attacks as opposed to the monochrome Princess.

Pale green eyes turned to a small chubby little cat, limping its way closer, and suddenly eden's heart squeeze. Poor little kitty she thought, kn down and folding her knees in front of her demurely, holding a hand out to the little manx.

Then it talked.

The cat talked.

Oh my god it talked.

Her jaw dropped and she just sort of stared a moment at *********>, before her manners kicked in and she stammered out a few words, wondering if finally all the beatings she had taken just sort of knocked a few screws lose in her head. " U-uh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to intrude, I'm not really sure whats going on. This was just a rather large gathering of aura's and I thought I would- " And then suddenly a commotion in the field caught her attention. A cacophony of swearing and gasps. And then suddenly the tall winged senshi suddenly was a tall regal figure with actual wings.

A choking presence hung over the group, daunting and terrifying. Momentarily forgetting the astounding talking feline, Eden stood up, and took a few steps from under the shade of the trees, turning her head up to were everyone else attention suddenly was. The winged woman with a gown was suddenly, rather viciously attack by... well... by a gray scale duplicate, and all turned to attack, urged on by the voice of the vividly colored princess.

What had moments before been a gather of allies, had erupted into battle. Sparing an glance for the pudgy little kitten, to make sure she was well indeed out of the way ( She would get back to that later when people weren't randomly dropping out of the sky ) she moved onto the field. Even not knowing who these people were, she could feel who was on her side, and that the gray princess... well she was not. She would be helpful, determined not to be a liability but an asset for once.

Eden darted forward, long legs carrying her swiftly into the fray. She wasn't strong, but she was agile. With no magic what so ever to speak up, she did the only thing she could think of. With the small blue haired child trying to pull its hair, Eden swung her lantern hard at the doppelgangers face, its flame flickering wildly, hoping that with a little girl wrenching on its hair she would not be able to dodge.

(( Sorry I couldn't make it until now!

edit - FAIL ROLL XD ))

Kallichore may have been late, but with a singularly huge energy signature, she had to investigate. Iris had mentioned the possibility of needing a group to take down the shade creature haunting her and, knowing Iris was royalty and what power came with the title, it was well worth joining in. The fewer of the damned things running around at night, the better.

There were too many people in close proximity to the monochrome princess, effectively rendering Kallichore's magical attacks as too risky. Besides, would hallucinations even affect something like this? Did they even have minds or imaginations, or did they operate under a hive mentality? It wasn't like the eternal could stop one to ask.

Instead, she turned around and ran, turned sharply on her heel and attempted to running kick the princess shade while she was distracted by the multitude of people around her.

The eternal, no make that Princess had been right, the shade was fast - so much faster than his own double had been. Fast enough that Athene wasn’t even sure if his attempt to strike the monochrome Princess had even managed to connect.

He hadn’t been the only one to join the fight at the real Princess’ call though and she couldn’t dodge all of them - at least Athene sure hoped she couldn’t.

Then the monochrome shade suddenly lashed out and Athene realised that Princess Iris had right about another thing - the thing hit hard, finding out the hard way as the thing’s lashed out fist connected squarely with his side causing him to stumble back a few steps with a pained gasp.

It could have been worst he told himself, as he made himself walk back the steps he'd stumbled, moving forward again, his left hand curled in a fist as he hit out at the shade Princess-copy again as hard as he could, while trying his best to ignore the pain in his side - he would just have to be better at dodging.

With so many people around her, Pasiphae tried to jump out of the way after launching her own attack. Unfortunately, space was at a premium and she ended up receiving a wild punch from the Shade Princess to the thigh. It sent her down in a crumble.

There would definitely be a nasty bruise, but she sucked a ragged breath through clenched teeth and got back to her feet. Injury or no injury, she had to do her best. The Shame Senshi aimed another kick at the Shade.

'So far so good...' Tsui thought, feeling her blow connect and a little disappointed that it didn't seem to have the desired effect. Then again, her opponent was a shade of a Princess, so in all honesty the fact that she was able to strike it at all should have been enough to appease the Tiger senshi. And in a sense, it was.

She watched in awe at the real Princess Iris, silently admiring her tenacity and her strength, and though she wasn't there when she was granted such power, there was no doubt that she earned it. Tsui would have felt envious, but seeing Athene take a hit drove that notion out of her mind and replaced it with rage as she struck at Shade Iris again, this time going for a kick to her gut.

"You'll pay for that! I'll make sure of it!"

Just as it had lashed out in a blind fury, one of the eternal senshi had done the same, though his efforts did not seem to really hit the mark. However, others seemed fired up by the fact that one of their comrades had been hit and soon enough the Shade had been pummeled by fists, feet, that obnoxious lamp, and even a stray raining rock from the sky. The grayscale Princess was fortunate that it didn't get hit in the head by that rock, but still ended up swaying back a bit.

The more vivid looking of the two seemed to smile a bit, gripping onto the rainbow restraining the false-princess' arm. That was until she saw an oddly cocky smile forming upon the gray lips of the Shade.

"Distance yourselves now!"

There seemed to be a disadvantage to clustering around the opponent, for it made it much easier for the enemy to attack. With a wicked grin, words were finally able to escape the monochrome princess' lips.

"Iris Rainbow Ribbon!!"

Using the hand on the arm that was not restrained, the double balled up a fist which soon enough began to glow of white light. Rather suddenly, a ribbon of varying gray lights struck out low, seeming to snake out to try and trip all who were close by.

(Based upon actions up to this point, the following characters will need to roll a 4-sided dice: Pasiphae, Tsui, Athene, Shangri-la, Egeria, Eden, Kallichore, Victoria, and Princess Iris. If you roll a 4, your character is not tripped by the gray-ribbon and you may make another post to roll for damage. If you roll a 1, 2, or 3, your character has been tripped. You may not roll for damage if your character is tripped. You may want to roll first, then edit whether the character is tripped or not.)

(NOTE: I will post another post mid-day tomorrow with actions about Princess Iris/tripping and how it affects those playing right now <3 )
