Landry Croix
It wasn’t often that Landry was out on his own. If he was alone, he chose to be within the confines of his apartment, not out and about except for when work called. And sadly, today worked called.
People and their fascination with flowers... They wanted pictures among these lovely flowers that seemed to spring up over night. Of course he obliged, wanting that experience and keeping his camera skills as fresh as possible.
He hated it. God damn allergies..
His face felt so damned puffy, his nose ran non-stop thanks to all this goddamn pollen, and his head, did he even have one? It was in such a fuzzy, thick mess that nothing seemed to register in his head. The haze got so bad that he swore he slept walked for a while and was rather impressed when he seemed to recover a little bit more and not be hit by a passing bus.
... But this was certainly a surprise. All these people, powered and not, order and chaos, all gathered together. Landry fiddled with his camera for a moment, snapping a quick, secret picture of it all to document this and tell Lori about it, incase that haze came back and he forgot all that he saw.
And of course, he saw Vitriol. Despite them getting along, he didn’t want to get too close... He wasn’t powered. Associating with someone chaos-related might make him a bit more suspicious instead of just an awkward human. Playing this role would be just as easy as any other, for certain, even as he let out another harsh sneeze and a pained groan.
“Damn these allergies...”
Quote: Landry is open for interaction and will remain a civ!

Dark Mirror Eternal Sailor Acubens
The first thing Acubens did was dive into mirrorspace. When things went wrong, it tended to be mirrorspace acting up again. A quick look around, however, resulted in nothing more than silence and a few quiet shrugs from other Dark Mirrors that she happened to catch in the halls. No answers.
On the one hand, that probably meant that mirrorspace had nothing to do with what was happening.
On the other...
Acubens exited mirrorspace in the park, a usual haunt for her, and looked back down at the little flowers around her ankles. Maybe she had been mistaken. The stress of summertime at The Farmer's Daughter taking it's toll.
There was no way all of the flowers that she was seeing through Destiny City could be leaning in the same direction....
She leaned down to check, as though a closer vantage would change what she was definitely seeing. No, she was not mistaken. They were leaning. And, it would seem, they were also giving something off... Acubens stretched out a hand to try and catch a piece of glimmering pollen, only to have it slip through her fingers... It was odd... ethereal... and beautiful. Acubens smiled despite the confusion and mild panic, rising with the scent of beautiful summer flowers. Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad. Maybe it was just harmless Destin City magic.
Maybe...
When Acubens came too again, she was standing not in the park, but rather somewhere else altogether. She sucked in a quick breath and tensed, trying to feel someone else from her court. Anyone else. Only to be met with silence and alarming auras.
s**t...
Best keep a low profile, she could hear Lavender whispering in her ear. Keep a low profile so that you can come home. Live today. Fight tomorrow.

Nataniel Khellasati
Nataniel considered himself an indifferent observer when it came to almost any occurrence that involved people anywhere at any time. It simply felt as though most things weren't of relevance or interest to him, and he had no reason to be an active participant unless there was some benefit to be had. There typically wasn't. Nat liked to be at home, on his computer, with his pet chinchilla. Sanctuary. Not as many eyes, not as much judgement.
If someone had asked him for an explanation as to why he was outside now, among a crowd of others standing in a field of greenery, he would've said it was curiosity. Or maybe because it was a nice night.
It sounded better than admitting that he had no idea.
Nataniel rubbed at the corner of an eye. Home wasn't far, and it was atypical of him to wander outside at this hour. He slept early, so to be perfectly honest, it felt as though he ought to be winding down for sleep, instead of walking about. That was strange too, wasn't it? While he wasn't against walking, since he wasn't planning on getting drunk, he should have driven here, shouldn't he? He rubbed absently on the blue charm that he'd clipped to his keyring at some point during the festivities... It would be a real pain if he stayed out too late and still woke at 3:30 in the morning... Strange, though, that even when rationally he knew he should go home, he didn't feel any pressing urge to leave...
His attention wandered among the crowd. He'd attributed a lot of recent events to hallucinations, but where had all these others come from? Older and younger than him, individuals, families... He frowned a bit as his gaze wandered. Some as indifferent as he was, some clearly anxious, some excited. He sighed and folded his arms. Even if he felt nothing for being here or otherwise, it still seemed strange that he didn't know what he was supposed to do while he was here.

Super Sailor Adria, Senshi of Sunsets
Whenever there was a suspicious moving of people, Adria figured that was probably the time to step back and assess the situation. Probably not just run right in. However, nervous and worried, he hadn't been able to help but investigate a little closer--and then a little closer. From what he could gather, there were a number of people just walking through the night. Civilians were in sight and power signatures kept flickering on his radar.
He wasn't alone in this, but he wasn't certain if that was reassuring.
He wasn't the best Senshi, he knew that; if there were others here, they probably had everything under control. But...
He wasn't ever going to get any stronger if he didn't do anything.
Drawing in a breath, Adria forced himself to move closer.

Captain Lopezite
Gathering quota wasn't usually something Lopezite had any difficulty with--he typically had a schedule he could keep on the nights he was out.
Tonight was a little different.
Usually by this point in time he'd be in a different side of town, halfway through the park and almost on his way home.
Instead, he blinked and found himself in a completely new area.
His legs felt like he'd been walking ,but his mind couldn't fill in the gap from how he'd gotten from the construction site he'd been in half an hour ago to where he was now.
He blinked, a bit alarmed that there were suddenly so many other energy signatures in the area--and he had no idea where they'd come from.
Or how he'd gotten there.
From what he could gather, it didn't seem like anyone was fighting, but being around so many Order signatures had him on edge. He wasn't quite sure if he should try to slip out or if it was worth it to loiter a bit and look like he knew what was going on--or, at the very least, that he belonged there.
Self preservation had him taking a slow, discreet step back--even when his curiosity told him to linger. If something was going on, he could hear about it from someone else if he needed to.
...But that aroma was so alluring...
So why leave when he could just have backup?
After a moment more of consideration, Lopezite set his mind on Lavendulan; he focused his energy and pulled. She was out patrolling, he knew that. They'd talked about it earlier, so he wasn't afraid of interrupting her.
...He just hoped she hadn't found anything more interesting to investigate already.

Sailor Arnica, Dark Mirror Senshi of Mandragora
Arnica was out with Kibirev--not an uncommon venture for the two of them. He preferred to travel with her, to make sure she was safe.
To learn from her, too, if he was being honest. He didn't quite know what he was doing most nights, but Kibi was the best teacher he could ask for. It was nice to have something in common with his sister--nice to be able to go out and do something. To get out and be able to 'work', but not really.
He hadn't asked to be a Dark Mirror Senshi, but she made this bearable.
She made him want to be a little curious of all this magic there was in the world.
She made him want to go the extra mile to make sure he could protect her--and after all the stories he'd heard so far, he really needed to get stronger.
He hadn't realized that it wasn't his own mind, or even his own two feet that brought him here--he had no idea that it was the pull of the strange, sweet aroma, until he was close enough that it sent goosebumps down his back when he took a deep whiff. There were other energy signatures--other people, in costumes, with power signatures of their own, and yet...
That hardly even mattered. All he could think about was that strange smell.
"Kibi," he said after a second. "What is that? It smells so...good."

Super Sailor TakamizawaThe first thing that Kami noticed once he finally was able to think clearly again, was that he was in some field, surrounded by a bunch of others. Immediately after realizing that, he made sure to make himself a bit less visible by hanging out next to a tree, hoping that none of the civilians there would notice. Or at least, they wouldn't think of his outfit as too weird. He could feel chaos energy within the area too, and thought that he could see some Negaverse Agents too, but they looked just as confused as he did. The next thing that he noticed were all of the flowers. It had been weird, for the past few days they all seemed to be turned in the same direction. He had noticed it since he was taking pictures of them and their changes through summer. So now that he was in the field, there was clearly something else going on. Through the crowd though he thought he spotted Hamal and made his way over to her, until he could lightly touch her arm, silently telling her that he was here. "Looks like we were both lured here somehow then." He said, taking another look around, trying to see why they were here and what may have happened that caused the both of them to come. For Kami, he couldn't remember. He couldn't even remember powering up tonight. The last thing that he could remember was studying in his apartment and... well that's it. He knew he couldn't have been poisoned somehow, so what was all of this?

Corrupt Super Sailor NoctuaNoctua hadn't been up to anything that night. Not until she walked through a patch of flowers while she wasn't paying attention and disturbed a cloud of what she had thought was glitter around her ankles. Distantly, she did wonder why someone had dumped glitter in a bed of flowers, but in the end, she decided that it was just general Destiny City ******** at let it go. But then the scent wafted up and caused Noctua to stop and wonder at what she was standing in. It smelled... nice. Lightly floral, like a perfume her mother used to wear before fragrance began giving her headaches. It made her feel calm in a way that she hadn't felt in a long time. Like when her mother under to hold her on her lap and hum tribal songs Noctua could still hear in her mind. When she walked, her legs felt a million miles away. Her mind followed, tracing the line of that lullaby on the sounds of her mother's voice over land and sea. Across lush jungles and hot sandy deserts. Roots she didn't know but longed to learn. After a few long, silent moments of silent wandering, her voice joined her mothers. A poor facsimile, but a sound she knew her mother loved none the less. The lullaby finished as Noctua arrived in the field with the rest of what seemed like the powered community of Destiny City. Instantly, the spell that carried Noctua here fled from her, leaving her in mild panic before she was able to reach through the sensation. She was here, and so were other members of the Negaverse. She could feel them. If she could just reach out far enough... FetteliteThe feeling of his aura carried Noctua to him more than he actually walked. She arrived behind him, hovering at his shoulder. "Lieutenant," she murmured, gazing over his shoulder to scan the crowd of gathered people. "Stay close."

Super Sailor HamalLooking over to her side her head nodded gently, hair swaying in the gentle breeze. "It looks like it. We should be careful. I don't like this. I don't remember coming here...this isn't a place I'd normally go." She spoke softly, wanting to keep their conversation to themselves and no one else. Reaching out to loop her arm with one of her fellow senshi's.
"Let's also keep the civilians safe if it comes to that." Turning her dark eyes onto the people gathered. There were some civilians and she worried for them. With everyone here they were certainly weak, and sitting ducks, if things broke out into chaos and fighting. "This could get dangerous fast with all these people here." She was honestly surprised nothing had happened yet, not with all these auras here. Why had nothing happened yet? Why did it fee safe here? Like nothing bad would happen.

DMS Senshi Itokawa.It wasn't often he powered up, he had no reason to really. What he'd thought was an environment he might eventually fit into, after that little gathering of people, was not something he was going to wind up apart of. He didn't really talk to anyone or get to know anyone. No one had really helped him fit in aside from the talks there, everything had died down to nothing after that night.
Tonight though he'd powered up in order to follow after some very odd fireflies, those colors simply weren't natural. It was as he was closing in on one of the bugs, he assumed it was a bug of some sort, that a dust of some sort wafted up his nose and seemed to surround him. Sneezing he inhaled the dust, which normally wouldn't be too bad, but somehow he seemed to zone out and lose the ability to focus.
When he did come around he was surrounded by others - many others. Most he didn't know, only a few he'd seen before, his dark eyes glanced about but he kept to himself. Unwanting to move, unwanting to leave the area. It was safe here, he was certain of it for some reason, even though he was surrounded by strangers and auras he didn't like - too strong.

DMS Sailor Melpomene.Liam had known Rhona was going out, something about all the issues going on in the city. Something he didn't want to trouble himself with. The city had issues, they all knew that, why bother getting involved? There was no way to fix it - the city was damned. It was a mess - simple as that.
It was when Rhona didn't come home, when she was out longer than she should have been, that Liam got up off his a** and powering up he headed off to find Rhona, or maybe Acubens. Point was - she was missing. She had been out longer and hadn't contacted him so now he had to find her, because he couldn't leave her out on her own and not know if she was ok. It simply wasn't how he did things.
While checking out the park he did spot a large group of flowers...all of them tilted? They looked titled - right? He was sure of it. As he bent down to see if they really all were bent, because some didn't look it for sure, he found himself inhaling something - pollen? He wasn't sure, because pollen didn't look like that.
When he found himself next aware of things he was surrounded by people - lots of people. It wasn't a feeling he liked, as he rather disliked large group of people, he wasn't a social individual. So when his teal eyes landed on Acubens he hurried his way over to her. "Acubens."

Eternal Sailor Remarque, Dark Mirror Senshi of Puppetry
Remarque was often out, though balancing his time between work and family wasn't always an easy task. Summer was his favorite month, probably--it was less wet than spring and far warmer than autumn or winter. He wasn't a fan of chilly months, and while the heat was a bit more uncomfortable than usual, he wasn't complaining.
...About that.
Besides, on nights like this when there were energy signatures flaring up, all in one small location, he couldn't help but be suspicious. Investigating just seemed like the right thing to do--and even though he was aware of a few other Dark Mirror signatures, it wasn't any with familiarity that he arrived closest to.
Instead, he laid eyes on a young man he didn't recognize--which of course, immediately drew his attention. He approached without shame or hesitation. "Someone decide to throw a party out here, or...?"
He wasn't immune to the strange fragrance, but he had chalked it up to some sort of summertime flower blossom and nothing more.
Remarque was only in his Eternal Form; he didn't like parading around as his Princely self if there wasn't a purpose or reason--and walking into a big group of people without knowing just what was going on was enough of a reason for him to want to lay low for as long as possible.

DMS Senshi Itokawa.Turning at the voice, so close to him, his dark eyes covered and nearly hidden by his glasses. "Not that I'm aware of. I don't notice anyone here so wouldn't be invited." Shrugging a bit. His accented words easy enough to understand, though he was missing a few words. "Just found myself here...I was following a glowing insect - it was green." Like a bright green color, emerald he'd label it as if asked. It wasn't normal.
"I must have....lost focus. Found myself here...I don't remember how."

Squire Mamertine
This had not been Alexei's finest week; losing his vision and seeing strange hallucinations had only kept him on edge and even more wary of his mental status.
He knew he was pushing himself too hard. He knew he was overworked. He knew he wasn't sleeping enough. He knew this was a problem.
What he didn't know was how he got here.
Distantly, he remembered walking. He remembered leaving the office, sneaking out, with a plan to do some quick patrolling and gather some information before he made his next strike--but this was very obviously not what he had planned.
It had felt like passing through a dream--only, he didn't remember the dream. He just felt the strange, jolting sensation of waking up--surrounded by other energy signatures.
His muscles tightened as he took in the layout--the people around him.
People he didn't know. People who didn't matter.
People who might have known what was going on.
Mamertine was cautious; he was not a social creature by nature, and he knew he tended to be a few years older than the people he typically ran into.
...But he was here, with no clear recollection of how or why and when strange things like that started happening...
It was best to stay close to someone, at the very least to find out if they knew what was going on.

Dark Mirror Eternal Sailor AcubensAcubens tensed when her name was called, but relaxed back down again when she registered the sound of the voice which had called it. "Melpomene," she sighed, relaxing back onto her heels. "Sorry I didn't call home. I hadn't exactly planned on coming here. I just kind of... got here... but the good news is that Mirrospace is acting regular. Or at least as regular as we can ask of it." She cast emerald green eyes around, searching out another signature form their court... And found Remarque. For all his lecturing her about staying out of trouble, he seemed to find himself in a fair bit of it with her. She nodded to him, option to stay split up to cover more ground if need be. But at least he would know she was there should they need. "Stay close Mel. Whenever Destiny City calls its people... it never for a party."
