The room shook and Fafnir had to resist the urge to shove Sweetite behind him. It wouldn’t have done either of them any good and it was more instinct than logic. He could objectively tell he was focusing on her as a way to avoid the reality that he felt half-trained and thrown to the wolves, but obsessing over taking care of her wasn’t going to get either of them out of here.
The sensei started as the lights dimmed and the wall began to move, watching it with narrowed eyes as it revealed a new room to them. The first thing he noticed was the size… and then the door on the other side of the room. An exit, hopefully… or bait for a trap maybe. He’d seen enough movies to guess where this was going.
Easing forward, he watched with confusion as panels began to flash with color… creating a repeating pattern that beckoned. He followed it a few times, trying to memorize it… it seemed important… but the panels were spaced so far apart, it was difficult.
A nagging idea in the back of his head slowly took shape and he shifted away from Sweetite towards the panels, gathering himself to use the magic he was still vaguely uncomfortable with.
“Fafnir’s Breath…” He murmured before he pursed his lips and blew, a sickly purple gas escaping like smoke. Turning his head directed it in the few seconds he had, discoloring the stone starting with the first and traveling to the second, and third… before it petered out.
“I think, if we touch these in order… maybe the door will open?” He said over his shoulder. The order members still made him wary, but they hadn’t done anything so far… and there was no way he could hit all the panels, even with Sweetite’s help. They were going to need more hands.
He's going to use his magic to mark the order!
Quote:
Sailor Scout Attack: Fafnir's Breath Fafnir blows out a cloud of sickly purple gas that saps the energy and health of those who stumble into it. It travels fairly quickly and can cover a ten foot cone of area before it fades out in a matter of seconds. Those afflicted will see a discoloration of exposed skin and eyes, and feel sickened and weaker than before. The effect eventually fades, lasting no more than 30 seconds. Breathing does not affect the attack, as its magical in nature and he can use it twice per battle.
He didn't know why, or even how, he'd wound up by the monument in the city which had turned up for no apparent reason but he was here. He was here and other people were and he really wasn't sure about this, he sort of wanted to go back home and go back to sleep. He even liked the idea of turning on a drama, the volume on low, and falling asleep in bed while it played out on his tv. He didn't get the chance the turn around a leave though. Some sort of magic decided he wasn't going to leave, as he didn't know what sorts of magic there were. All he knew was he had magic and so did other people...only certain people.
When he did finally come to there were people all around and a lot seemed to be going on, he seemed to have missed a lot of things in fact.
"What...?" His accent was heavy and the single word was slurred with sleep, making it harder to understand the teen. His dark eyes glanced about unseeing as he reached for his glasses, which had somehow come to rest on the ground, and slipped them on. With things back in proper focus he was able to see everyone properly.
Slowly he climbed to his feet, stretching as he did so, all the auras in the small space was a lot for him to take in. The feel of so many people and the clashing of auras...it was overwhelming for the dark mirror senshi. Deciding to investigate what was going on, he didn't know where he was and was hoping someone else had a clue, he peeked into the second room and watched as the lights flashed in various colors.
"What....is happening?" Curious as he slowly, hesitating, took a chance of stepping into the seconds room. Maybe it was luck but he managed something, without even realizing it because he was rather clueless at the moment...and still tired.
(open for interactions. Poor new dmc and this is what happens to him.)

Acrucis - 60/60HP
With all the names being tossed about as several powered individuals shouldered their way past one another to check on a companion only one name stood out; kind of at least. The name Itsuki sounded familiar but from where she couldn’t remember especially since not a single face in the room looked remotely familiar.
As it was, nobody made a move to approach her and in turn she left them all alone. No use butting into a personal conversation, not that she had anything to say. Instead Acrucis walked over to one of the walls to see if she could feel for a hidden seam when the ground began to shake.
Without warning, the wall she had her hand against began to move; or perhaps it was the floor beneath them dropping like a slow elevator, either way something in the room was shifting. The sound of stone grinding was unpleasant enough to cause her to cover her ears and retreat backwards to where she had been sitting after finally coming to. If there was one thing she knew for sure it was that if there was something on the other side of that wall there was no way in hell she was going to be standing at the front of the group. Let someone else take the lead, that way when something happens, as things always do when unexplainable events occur, she could offer support from a safe distance away.
Quote:
Sorry if she bumps into anyone in her backwards retreat
Before she knew it, she was being tugged backwards and towards the wall by the other corrupt's strong hold. Thicker fingers had taken hold of her shoulder while his words sank into her thoughts.
Stick with him. Right.
“Y-Yes sir,” she chirped quickly back, nodding her head like an obedient peon and not someone on the same level as her companion. Hands drew together and clasped with one another, eyes still wide as she glanced over to the others that he was referring to. She had all of seconds, though, before the room went dim and started to shake. Instinctively, she drew even closer to her companion, a sharp, small whimper escaping before she could catch herself.
“We need to get out of here before something even worse happens,” she murmured softly, grabbing for one of his hands and trying to tug them further away from the other auras.
An all-too familiar nickname rang out across the crowd and the large page’s head craned around. Itsumo had managed to get himself stuck in here too?
Fingers pressed harder into his partner’s hip as violet eyes cast downward, looking for the overzealous Mauvian. Only...there was no cat.
What the ******** flicking tail caught his attention, leading him to stare at a young man who was dressed far more bizarre than either page. Like one of those creepy furries, complete with tail and ears and a pair of excited eyes that almost looked like…
“Itsooko?”
How the <******** the cuss words could fly, though, the ground began to shake and the lights began to dim.
Eyes narrowed as his focus shifted to getting the <********> out of there. Thankfully, some fancy ******** had the magic and sense to blast the tiles they stumbled across with whatever magical bullshit they'd stumbled across.
Still, it wasn't making goddamn sense and Sodom was growing quickly tired of all this puzzle crap they apparently were being forced to deal with. If he was lucky, Gomorrah or Itsama could figure it out.
“Why can't this s**t be easy for once, christ.”

Knight Alphubel
Alphubel should have been ready for it, he really should have, but the mini-quake had thrown him a bit off, wondering what was going to happen next and hoping that they wouldn't be crushed under falling debris in this weird obelisk. But nothing fell, and soon enough it stopped. Though the smell of burning wires did feel bad to his nose. Burning wires was never a good thing, and he wondered if they would soon see it. Instead though, it seemed that a new room had opened, and there seemed to be lights pulsing throughout it.
Alphubel followed everyone else into the new room, and suddenly there seemed to be some sort of... pattern? Oh no, not one of these. He thought to himself, looking at the floor. If there was a pattern going on, then that only meant one thing, that stepping on something that wasn't the pattern was bout to get someone hurt. He tried to take a moment to figure out the pattern himself, but before he could it seemed that others were already ahead of him, one corrupt senshi showing part of the way.
He blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed that he couldn't figure it out himself, especially since he was a knight, but quickly got over it as he followed everyone else over to the other side. However, there were a few times he almost stepped on the wrong panel, and was glad that they were able to make it over to the other side so quickly.

Mauvian Itsuki, human form HP: 50/50
Someday maybe the Pages would get his name right.
But before Itsuki could do much about it, the room started to shake and a terrible, headache-inducing grinding sound filled his sensitive Mauvian ears. Before they could regroup and really assess the situation, they were presented with a puzzle as a group. Simon Says, in a way, but... with lasers.
Itsuki wasn't a fan of lasers.
Thankfully, some of the other members of their ragtag group seemed to catch on, and started using their magic to mark the first few notes of the song they were to play, making it easier for others to hit their notes in the correct sequence. If it weren't for the others, Itsuki feared they'd be hit with even more lasers, and nobody wants to smell burnt cat fur.
"Domo arigato, Ryu-san!" he cried, happy bowing to Fafnir, whose help he appreciated. "Lacri-san, you're not hurt, are you? Daijoub--- OH MY TURN!" Pressing his human hands onto the three panels before him, Itsuki remembered his place in the sequence.

Page Gomorrah HP: 50/50
This was complete and utter bullshit.
In fact, the only redeeming fact of the situation was that he was with his partner who's hand was snugly latched to his hip. Someone was calling his spouse's name and his own grip on the man tightened possessively, gray eyes cutting towards the sound of the call with a glare.
He didn't recognize the creature, one that looked like some weird cat cosplay, and was content to ignore them because there was more pressing matters. Like being able to get across the tiles, which some chick with long purple and blue hair, had distrupted with some fancy a** wizard s**t.
Why didn't they get some fancy a** wizard s**t?
Though...his suit was more normal than the weird dragon scale dress s**t magic chick was wearing, even if it allowed him to check out her a** easily...
"Shut up an follow my lead." Gomorrah snapped, grabbing a hold of Sodom's arm and leading him through the pattern to the best of his memory, and other people around him.

The room around them shook, deep and just enough to feel but not enough to knock her around. Regardless she didn't like the feeling of it, less so as the lights seemed to dim. But a door had opened so that was something at least? Maybe?
It was a new room if nothing else and gave them some place else to move, which hopefully would end up giving them a way out of this place eventually. Though the new room involved lasers...
She was definitely not fond of lasers.
"I'm okay," Lacrimosa soothed to the humanoid guardian cat, touched by his concern for her. It was easier to focus on him then everything else around them. "I've got this so no worries, okay?"
An almost cheeky grin to the mauvian before she turned to focus on trying to figure out what the pattern might be. Or whatever they should be doing that might involve the pattern of blinking lights. Which she... couldn't quite tell if she'd grasped it or not? Which probably meant she shouldn't have attempted to press anything and yet.
Yet, having had a small moment where she might have thought she had the pattern down, she chose to attempt to press the panel and- The sound of a laser charging quickly sounded, the lights in the wall seeming to come together into a single point of power. She didn't have a chance to dodge it though she did try in the form of ducking down as she wasn't entirely sure how the laser was going to do it's thing.
It came in the form of electricity surging through her as it hit, landing on her as she ducked down. It got her in the shoulder first before her movements had her losing a pigtail to the laser. Despite the jolt to her body she couldn't help but to wrinkle her nose at the smell of burnt hair. Lovely.
At least she was in one piece, minus some hair and a couple laser burns. Her shoulder hurt the worst in all honesty.
Acrucis 60/60 HP Roll 6+2 from fafnir = 8 Group total: 65
Fafnir : 5 Itokawa: 5+2=7 Sweetie: 10+2=12 Sodom: 2+2=4 Alphubel 2+2=4 Mithra 4+2 = 6 Itsuki 6+2=8 Gomorrah 6+2=8 Lacrimosa 1+2=3 Acrucis 6+2=8 Let me know if this is incorrect the +2's are from Fafnir
Only because she had held back, Acrucis was able to watch the others movements carefully and like the circular game of Simon Says with the blinking lights, she too finally followed in the others footsteps. Mindful not to trigger the lasers the same way the senshi in pink had done she maneuvered her way across the floor thankfully without incident.
Quote:
Acrucis is going to throw out some heals in the next half hour's post if you do not want your character to receive heals for any OOC type reasons please tell me over PM or discord otherwise I'll assume that it's okay to help top characters off.
Caitlin was not especially well versed in the art of waking up from a drunken blackout, although she had the strangest sense that it kind of felt like this. Perhaps a bit more headache, though. She knew she'd been thinking about that strange monument in town, and had even considered going to inspect it.
But from that point, she wasn't especially clear on what she did. All she knew for certain was that she was powered up, and standing in a strange room with an...unusual variety of people. Negaverse agents, senshis, knights, and even some of those Dark Mirror people, she was fairly certain.
And nobody was fighting at all. that in itself was a minor miracle. Looking around, she also recognized Itsuki and Lacrimosa, but she scarcely had time to realize they where there when things started to get moving. Figuring she might as well follow along, she went in and looked around.
Puzzles.
Not her favorite activity by a long shot. "Oh boy," she said, to no one in particular, and watched, trying to sort out exactly what was going on.
In fact, things were looking fairly close to solved, and she commented, "Not easy, but...looks like we might just about have this."

Acrucis: 60/60
When it had seemed that everyone had made it to the otherside safely the Senshi of Prayer brought her hands together and cast a heal towards the only one who had been hit by one of those traps. “Prayer of healing” she whispered.
At a glance the girls wounds did not seem severe enough to warrant the use of her super ability; even so, whether the injuries sustained were minor or not it would be best if everyone was at their peak heath when they opened the door because there was no telling what horrors waited for them on the other side.
White Trickster Rabbit
Sorry for the double quote.
Sailor Scout Attack: Prayer of Renew Sailor Acrucis brings her hands together in a prayer motion and whispers her attack after which she holds her hands out in front of her in the direction of an injured individual within 15 feet of where she is standing. Both Acrucis's hands and the individual are bathed in a soft yellow light as a heal over time is cast. Over the next 10 seconds Renew has the ability to fully heal minor cuts, scrapes and bruises and can be cast 3 times without wearing her out. In order to mend a moderate wound it would take 2-3 casts on the same individual but will not fully heal the wound**. Her target must be in front of her or to her sides, it cannot be cast on someone behind her.
**After using all 3 of her Prayer of Renew's on one individual who has suffered a moderate wound OOCly please follow post 1 to determine the number of days for reduced recoveryhere

You managed to finish the strange task foisted upon you and, despite some of you being crispier than you might like. Upon completion of your task to something’s satisfaction, the door leading into the next room starts to rise. Before you stands a huge, incredibly wide staircase. It seemed to ascend for as far as they eye can see. Made of beige stone and criss-crossed with the same pulsing black circuit pattern you’re already accustomed to, it seems your first objective in this new area… is to climb. (You didn’t skip leg day, did you?)
Upon reaching the top, another large black door awaits you, rising as the first of your group nears it. You find yourself in another large, rectangular room, much like the first. Here, however, that mechanical humming sound seems much louder than you remember.
Once all of your group is in the room, the door SLAMS closed behind you, and a loud, monotonous voice booms through the room.
[[ANALYZING…]]
The largest computer you’ve ever seen is sitting on the wall to your right, its screen blinking to life as you enter the room. The faded blue glow of the monitor fills the room. Eleven individual keyboards spring from the panel in front of the monitor and, surprisingly, all the keys are English. Placing your hands upon the keyboard, a strange electrical sensation courses through your veins.
[THE SECOND TASK]
Upon the screen blinks a single word.
[[PASSWORD?]]
[The Rules]
Roll one (1) d10 for each post and follow these prompts:
Roll 1-3: Tapping willy-nilly seems to be a bad idea, because you’re forcibly shocked for wrong guesses! Take 3 damage Roll 4-7: You might be getting the hang off this freak guessing game, but you’re still incorrect. sadTake 1 damage. Roll 8-10: You’ve figured out a portion of the pattern and are helping to direct others as well. Your memory is excellent! You may assist another character, who adds +2 to their roll. You can only do this ONCE per 8-10 roll! (If this +2 bonus makes the other person get an 8 or higher, that person DOES NOT have the ability to bestow another bonus. No bonus chains here!)
[Special Rules!]
Super Sailor Acrucis and Sailor Hypatia have access to healing magic. They may opt not to roll to heal one person up to 10HPthree times in this room. You can roll once every half hour!
[Your goal is to reach a total of 100 for the group to escape into the next room.]
[The next step of the climb will begin in roughly 48 hours!]
