Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ow. Ow, ow, ow ow. Callisto yelped, dropping the naughty cat and swatting it away as she stumbled back, rubbing her jaw and wincing. "Well you're no good as a bridesmaid now," she complained at Elpis, moving to steady Ferris with a petulant huff. "And your cat grabbed me first thank you. You should really teach her better manners - I like cats, but there are others who don't."

Looking to the Nega, she sighed and clung a little tighter to the larger corrupt, beginning to feel rather put-upon and unhappy. "The senshi was alone. I wanted to take her home. Order's so mean and full of bullies." She turned her glare on the girl who had knocked her Ferry down and held the larger corrupt a little more protectively.

Albert, meanwhile, had stayed silent until the Nega started trying to hit on him. Ugh.... that was so wrong in so many ways. "I," he said, tone cold and wary, "Am fine." As soon as her attention was focused on the two corrupts, he attempted to slip away from her grasp and get to his daughter. She seemed to be functioning just fine, but he knew his baby well enough to know why: she had shut down everything to get the task before her done, and that wouldn't hold for long. Once it crashed.... she was going to break. And he needed to get her out of here well before that happened.

Broderick landed on his feet and shook himself off, before running to hide behind Petra and glare daggers at the bad humans who had ruffed him. "Ew," he grumbled, grooming a paw and trying desperately to wash the back of his neck. "Chaos cooties."

Elpis moved robotically, expression blank as she stalked for Callisto, taking another swing roughly. Ferris yelped, and clung to Callisto, barely pulling her away from the-- what was... OH NO.

"C...Cally I think Order broke her brain!" Ferris whimpered.

Elpis growled lowly, however, scooping Miss Kitty up, eyes locked on the pair coldly.

"My cat is fine. It's you that need to learn manners."

Samsonite, meanwhile, blinked, watching Miss Kitty huddle defensively against her senshi and blinked, head tilting.

The Lieutenant REALLY ought to do something, but she knew they were outnumbered, five to three, for one. Two, the page was REALLY kind of cute, and she didn't want to make the poor boy more uncomfortable than he looked, and threee... Well. Bruises told a lot, and the lieutenant eared both younger girls and sighed.

"And cornering someone alone isn't bullying? We do not fight bullying with more bullying, or even outynumbering people! You two KNOW better, I'm surte!" Samsonite scolded gently. A curious eye turned to Petra breifly, a brow raising 'questioningly about her 'soul' remark, and she sighed.

"Now girls, I know you meant well, but we don't just beat people up for being bullied, for one, and two, we are GENTLE with kitties, even naughty ones. Pets, not grabs, am I clear?"

The agent huffed, and looked to Kells apologetically.

"Look, I don't know what's going on but I can see your friend is terribly beaten up, so I am sorry for the two on one mess. Really, this could have been more civilized. I'll take care of these two, if your leader and you want to just skeddaddle one home. It's the holiday season, after all, and it wouldn't do to break apart any families with a war this time of year." Samsonite said gently, then looked to Petra kindly.

"And I'm sorry that you've been upset so, sweetie. Truly I am."

She sighed, then looked to Callisto and Ferris, motioning.

"Now, come alng you two. I'm sure you might enjoy being angry at me, so why not turn that into some lovely art? I know I'm inspired."

Ferris blinked, then hesitated, looking to Callisto and pouting.

"Fiiiiiine."

If it had been just her, Petra would have gone for kicking their asses. As it was...she knelt down to pick up Brody, forcing herself to breathe deep and try not to vibrate too much from the anger welling inside. She was going to need to visit a punching bag later. Badly. "Let's get out of here." Her voice was still full of anger and venom. "I think I need to punch something later. Or...or do something to get rid of this energy." The Negaverse ruined everything. Always.

"...Okay," Callisto said, reluctant to let things go but willing to defer, for now. Mean liars, why must they ruin everything? Sniffling, she hugged Ferris and frowned, glancing at the lieutenant with a thoughtful expression. "...Would you be interested in being a bridesmaid, miss?"

Maybe something could be salvaged out of this mess of a situation after all! She hoped so, because that uppercut the order senshi had given her was already starting to bruise, and the cat-bite hurt. Something good had better happen or - or she was going to be really mad!

Kells hugged Elpis, then considered things and simply scooped up both his daughter and her cat, using his height to his advantage to pull her into a princess carry. "Come on, ladies," he said, shaking his head. "Let's go. The last thing we need now is police interfering." He didn't like this - he didn't like it at all but... what could he do right now? Nothing, save draw attention that nobody wanted or needed, especially this close to the holidays.

Brody mewled in Petra's arms and tried to nuzzle her, hoping to help calm her down. "When I get very mad, I chase my toy mice around and beat them until they beg for mercy," he offered politely. "We could get you a mouse to do the same, if you want! I'm sure there's somewhere around here that sells them!"
