Welcome to Gaia! ::

Leto had this awful habit of either spending way to much time in MirrorSpace, or spending days on end as a civilian huddled up in her stupid apartment. Patrolling wasn't something that she did often anymore- not after the last time she had done so had led her to what (or who, more specifically) would be her undoing.

She looked like s**t. She felt like s**t. There was very little that mattered to her, especially when it came to the Dark Mirror Court. What was the point, when they could all just up and leave her at any point in time? It felt awful being here, with this group, without the two of them. It wasn't right.

But when she got the call on her compact... Well, she couldn't just ignore it. Nor could she ignore Persephone, who would need a travel buddy. So, remaining as an Eternal Senshi, hand-in-hand with Persephone, Leto stepped through one full-length mirror and out of another. She gave Persephone's hand a quick squeeze as they entered MirrorSpace- in her mind to be a support system for her when really, she was the one that needed the reassuring. It had been a while since she had interacted with most of the people that had already filled the room; for some it would be her first time meeting them and quite frankly as a Princess and leader of the Court, it was shameful. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she avoided eye-contact with pretty much everyone and took a few steps away from the mirror she had come out of.

She probably should've questioned why a meeting was being called, but alas. It wasn't her running things, so she remained as far away from the center of the room as she could possibly manage. At least the newbies would have no idea that their Princess was hiding- hopefully she was just another Eternal blending into the background tonight.

Acubens laughed loudly when Lesath embraced her. It was one of those little things that made Acubens feel truly at home. Ah, she wished she could have stayed with Lesath and Remarque forever but... well... then they wouldn't have the family that they had today.

The ache in her heart was slowly subsiding when she thought about the child. Honestly, now with a face to put with the concept, the loss was easier to bear. And when it came down to it, Acubens would rather have Lesaths as a sister than not at all. She loved Remarque, she was happy with him and with the baby. That was all Acubens had a right to ask for in the end.

"Brunch sounds so good," she moaned, licking a little buttercream from her thumb. "And I started some aole vera for you, so you don't have to worry about chemicals for disinfecting and pain relief. Just slap that on and it's good to go."

And then she felt Leto. If Lesath was her high school crush, then Leto was the untouchable jock that made her quiver. Her whereabouts were unknown to Acucbens but that... that wavelength she sent out. That unmistable pinprick of light in her minds' eye. Leto was here.

Leto cringed when she looked up and made eye contact with Remarque who was mostly definitely heading her way. Red eyes shifted down to glance at the burger he held out for her and she offered him a half-assed smile when she looked back up to meet his gaze. "Your Highness," she said with a slight laugh.

"It's a little hard to worry about myself when people are leaving the Court all willy-nilly all of a sudden, y'know?" If there was anyone who was sure to understand at least some semblance of how she felt, it was probably Remarque. This Court was as important to him as it had been to her, she was sure he had felt the devastating blow every time their numbers decreased.

And without even a second to get another word in, a bubbly blonde was throwing her arms around the tiny brunette and clinging to her. She gently hugged Lesath and her smile ended up a little more genuine- it was hard to be grumpy and sad when someone like Lesath came bounding towards you. "I'm sorry," she murmured softly into the other girl's ear as she hugged her. She pulled back slightly and couldn't help but laugh at the burger being shoved into her hand. Somehow, burgers and Lesath would forever be connected and suddenly this meeting in MirrorSpace felt all too familiar and it made her a little uncomfortable.

A chill ran up and down her spine and the Eternal Senshi shook it off as she turned to her dear sweet Acubens. "I'm really happy to see you guys. All of you," she added, glancing at Remarque. They hadn't ever been particularly close, but at the same time, she knew he would always be there in his own annoying, Remarque-y way. "It's glad that you're all here... It's been all too easy to feel alone lately."

She had Persephone, who was absolutely positively more than enough. But the loss of Navi and Chariklo had made her world feel a little more empty. Leto was sure that was what Lesath was getting at, so she nodded at her as she took a bite of her burger. "A super long talk. I promise."

Was it odd he found her bluntness and obvious no-shits-given refreshing? Maybe it was the brash Devlin intermingling with the trickster of Loki. He only gave an amused shrug and almost a nod of agreement to her first statement. He'd take the designation of fool of it meant making his own way in life. Or rather, following the course only as far as he wanted.

Least she did have something of a sense of humor. The Senshi of Treachery grinned, giving a sweeping mock bow of his own before looking up to Mjolnir with a quick wink. "That's not even half the battle. Doubt you'll let me win without a hell of a fight. More fun that way, I figure." Straightening, the smile on his face was every bit the lighthearted facade of a trickster. For at least as long as she'd play along, he could enjoy himself. Could at least consider that one bright point to agreeing to come along to this... meeting.

But with how both Sterope and Mjolnir were quick to disagree to his sarcasm--or would that technically be agree to it?--he found himself amused to be among, at least for the moment, like-minded folks. "Don't look at me, Thunderbird," he chuckled to Sterope, finding no harm in nicknames. "I'm not the one who came up with the idea of calling this mangled group a 'family.'" His own gaze traveled around the group. A few faces... might have been familiar. In passing, if anything. But beyond that..? Not a flicker of recognition lit his features. Rem was the only one he knew there, period.

"I figure that's half the point for this... meeting. See if we can get some blanks filled in." He'd been awakened for years. Still barely did s**t. Barely understood the purpose behind his title, or this court. "Only ones I've ever met from this lot's Rem there," he motioned to the prince, "and ah... what's her name. Ares? Queeny." How long had it been since he'd even heard about her, never mind saw her?

The meeting call was less than exciting for Damocles. The last time he remembered being at something like this, he sported a rather large pair of wings, and was accompanied by a very blind Tantalus. Fortunately, this time neither of those things existed, but... Those dreams were enough to make him worry still. Even a year later.

The small number of those in attendance made him frown, but I suppose that was to be expected. His thoughts wandered, and he became curious to know if others had purified. Not that he knew much about that particular matter outside the night he had crossed paths with Rumi. His frown deepened as he was reminded of Amytis. He hoped she was okay.

Wherever she was.

Damocles shook his head, running his hand through his bangs before he actually proceeded towards the group. He couldn't think like that. He didn't even know what this meeting was about. Maybe he was just getting worried for nothing?

Golden eyes scanned the room as more and more people arrived at the meeting. Her conversation cut off by Remarque's announcement. Mjolnir remained in her place between Loke and Sterope, her face instantly souring at the mention of the Queen.

The brunette raised her hand and signed.

"My name is Mjolnir, the Senshi of Berserkers. I do not really know what this meeting is about, but Remarque - I really hope you consider what we talked about last time we met."

"Good day, Ubasti." Mintaka smiled at the woman, studying her as she drifted out of her thoughts.

At the call of introductions, When a free moment came up, the Origami senshi stood and curtsied to the court.

"My name is Mintaka, I am eternal Senshi of Origami. I welcome all, and have been known to show other mirrors they powers we have now." She smiled softly, looking at the group. Three faces in particular were not here and that made her worried. She seemed to disappear for a moment, into one of the mirrors and returning with one of the missing faces.

"This is Elsa." She held the small senshi in place and patted him. "Almost forgot him."

She listened to the other introductions, hardly remembering a face with a name. It would take more than a brief few words to impress her new "family" into her mind. All of their names, powers, varied so greatly. It was kind of amazing and haphazard.

She decided to throw her own hat into the ring, raising her hand briefly before speaking.

"Sterope, Senshi of Electrocution though that should be shockingly obvious."

Oh, God, puns. How lame was she?

A blush colored her cheeks as she fell silent.
