Ganymede HP: 20 Capture List ** Anyone is free to come and beat on her! I doubt she'll be putting up much of a fight! 8D;;;
Ganymede didn't have the chance to respond to Val—not to his plan, or his promise, or the kiss to her head.
Through the sleepy haze that'd overcome her vision, through a momentary break in the crowd of people rushing to leave, she saw Ladon standing with a Negaverse officer. A General, if her senses could be trusted (and considering how poorly she felt at the moment she wasn't entirely sure they could be). Her first instinct was to move forward and protect her best friend from the General's obviously nefarious intentions, be that energy draining or starseed ripping or both.
But she was slow to react, and in a moment that no longer mattered, because as suddenly as she'd seen him Ladon wasn't there anymore. Wolframite stood in his place, all black attire and green bows complete with his signature ********, the eye-patch.
She told herself it didn't make any sense, that she was clearly hallucinating. But it made perfect sense now that it was staring her in the face. She remembered the first time she'd met Ladon. He'd been wearing an eye-patch then. She'd teased him for it, joked about it being some sort of pirate-inspired fashion statement. She couldn't have known then, of course, but after... all the injuries, the way he seemed so closed off at times...
It seemed he had his own secrets, the same as she did.
“No...” she said weakly, because it was easier to deny than to accept.
All the noise going on around her faded. Ganymede swayed on her feet as her heart rate picked up; she was dizzy, her nerves felt frayed, and her breathing became shallow and somewhat ragged. She felt like she was going to be sick.
She knew what had happened to Wolframite, and if it'd happened to him then it'd happened to Ladon, too.
“Val...” she tried to say something, reaching for Valhalla before stumbling against him. She was shaking noticeably, about to puke or cry or both. “I don't understand...”

Jonah HP: 10
A part of Jonah, the logical part, had a pretty good idea he understood some part of what was happening. He'd heard stories about the terrorists that roamed the streets of Destiny City. His little sister showed some sort of sick fascination with them, prowling around looking for clues in her “research,” like she meant to prove something about the whole thing.
Jonah'd never had any sort of desire to stick his nose into such things. It was dangerous, in his opinion, to involve himself in things he didn't understand, which surely didn't have anything to do with him. If there really were terrorists roaming the city—and he was certain now that there were—it wasn't any of his business. Let them fight between one another and destroy each other. Maybe then they'd leave the city alone and everyone could go back to life as normal.
But none of this was normal, was it?
Swallowing down a nervous lump in his throat, Jonah made another effort to stand. “We... we need to evacuate the hotel,” he said. Heading into another room wasn't going to cut it. They'd still be confined there, wouldn't they?
Yet he couldn't leave until he knew his sister at least was alright. He looked around for her but didn't immediately see any sign of her. Either she was elsewhere in the hotel, or she'd managed to make her own escape, or—the option which seemed to Jonah to be the most likely—she was currently in the process of snooping on the action.
“Please help,” Jonah said. Weak and tired as he was, he knew he wouldn't be able to do this on his own. “I... I can hardly stand...”

Valhalla HP: 20 Capture List
A General had approached Ladon. His aura was strong, and although he was pretty certain he had seen him around, he hadn’t had an opportunity to speak with him. He didn’t know of his intentions and it set off a sense of urgency in him to get Ladon away before he could be hurt. Until he could be certain of their intentions… like Zinkenite, Wolframite, and even Benitoite… he had no idea if they would react as Panite had and attack without question.
But there was no time to react, and for a moment Valhalla didn’t know if he was going crazy, if the exhaustion overtaking him was playing with his mind. The mere thought of him seemed to pull Wolframite into existence… right next to the General that had approached Ladon…
Valhalla froze, his eyes widening in disbelief. How could he believe it…?
He felt Ganymede stumble against him, and he quickly grabbed hold of her arms to keep her from collapsing. In the few seconds he took to look down at her and then back up to where Wolframite had been… he and the General were gone. “We need to go…” was all he could tell her, unsure of what to say to comfort her or console her.
“We need to get everyone out,” he insisted once more, as if returning to what the original idea was would somehow erase what they had just witnessed.
The fact of the matter was… he had no idea what was going to happen to them now. Or to their families. Strange thoughts (memories?) of his brothers and Paris’s mother disappearing seemed to surface. The threat of their identities being compromised was a death sentence, not only for themselves but for those who knew them.
The strike from above was unexpected, Kairatos still not accustomed to opponents who used the rest of a room and their powers in such combination. In spite of his armor, it was an staggering blow, and it was all he could do for the moments that followed just to keep upright, and focus again on something other than the jangling alarm from his own body, even as Hvergelmer fought valiantly only to go down out of the side of his vision, under the violent attentions of Captain Cinnabar.
...Captain.
His attacker had called him Captain. He was not going to let that fly.
He hadn't managed to make much more than an anguished, muffled grunt when Schorl had knocked knocked the wind out of him, but somewhere between Hver going down, and being called Captain, be pulled together a passable roar, lurching to try and pin her between him and a wall in an angry body slam.
As far as clever banter it ranked an F, but it was as good a retort as he was pulling off at the moment.

Kairatos Knight of Mars: 11 HP, On the Capture List
HP: 20- Main lobby near doors Not powered yet, disposable on capture list
As of yet no one had accosted her, they seemed to be going after the powered up ones. Touching where her power pin was, she held her hand to the pocket in the orange dress before turning her heel. Following the other's example her white mask came off. In all the chaos, she smiled glad to be rid of the clashing item. Threw off her make up now that she had to fix it to balance.
Still, even with the absurdity, she never thought of retreating back to the bathroom. Being boxed in was hardly smarter. Looking around desperately, she tried tried to find anywhere that wasn't crowed.
Rather than out right abandon the potential ally she had already spoken too, she offered, "Tabitha." Not that her name was important at the moment. If they even saw each other again after this it would be a surprise. This city was huge! Manners were manners her mother would be disappointed if she didn't use them,. "The other side of the room, There has to be windows on the other wall and they seem distracted over here." Sound strategy for a few seconds glance. Worked for her and she didn't even need the stupid cat telling her to do it. Wouldn't that cat be proud she tired to help someone else?

So many people were trying to reach the lobby, the exits, and Subamara found herself swimming against the flow of the crowd as she tried to get back to the second ballroom. The floor was slippery with discarded masks, spilt drinks, abandoned shoes and other debris. Shoving and squeezing, the senshi pressed on, but in her tired state, it wasn’t looking hopeful. She could barely keep her own footing, let alone drag up the civilians who stumbled. She couldn’t see over the throng, but she could feel the chaos points of energy, some behind in the ballrooms, but many closer to the lobby doors, and probably the cause of the crush if they were preventing people getting out, which seemed more than likely.
It wasn’t an organised evacuation, just a mob. And there were children running, too. The thought of her tiny little cousin caught up in it was horrifying. Or worse, in the hands of a Nega.
There would be other ways out of the hotel. Back doors, service doors. The used ice cream bowls had to go somewhere. Most places had to have evacuation maps, didn’t they? It would be near the stairs, she thought, or the elevator. Changing direction, Subamara aimed for the back wall of the hallway, the equally busy staircase from the upper ballroom. If she couldn’t reach her cousin, she could at least find a clearer way out. The kid did have a phone on her, she remembered. Hers was in her purse, which had disappeared at transformation, but powering down again was not an option now. Too many bad guys, even if they hadn’t spotted her yet.
Sailor Subamara: 20 HP Hallway outside the main ballroom
It felt really good to watch the little cosmos knight go down cold and internally, the beast rumbled it's approval and begged to be fed. It took some bit of will to force it down again, but it was getting easier each time she did it. The General-Queen had given her the power to fight this thing, she was not going to fall to it now.
Pacing towards her prize, Cinnabar pulled up short when a child, of all things, rushed in to help. The kick to her shin pulled her lips back from her fangs, but it was like a kitten facing off against a Rottweiler... She barely felt it. What bothered her more, really, was the fact this was a child... and by the uniform and signature, a senshi child.
This was wrong on so many levels there was no way to qualify it. Everything in Cin protested and she reached out to grab the girl by the front of her fuku and lift her bodily off her feet. She weighed nothing to the captain and once in the air, she gave her one hard, teeth chattering shake.
"The ******** do you think you're doing, Runt? Does this look like a playground to you?" She snarled.

It was already too much, but Kor didn't want to tell her that. He was here to make an attempt, damn it. He was trying for Laine and he was going to last at least ....another ten minutes. If nothing happened, that was.
Just as Kor was about to say something, there was sudden loudness and giggling and he just looked mildly confused. Of course Laine had friends, why wouldn't she?
"I--" And then he was cut off by a shriek when this girl saw the ring and Kor just hung his head in laughter, the corners of his eyes turning up as well. It was helping him forget the dozens of other people down the hall, which was good. He could focus on one or two people at a time, that much was easy.
Introductions were done and Kor just grinned, holding out his hand. "Hey, Dani. A pleasure."
----------------------------------
Once he was put down in medical, Kazuo slowly started coming to. He was tired now. So tired and something felt extremely wrong. There was an energy in the place that just made his skin crawl. A nurse came up to him that he'd just gotten over heated and hew as going to be fine.
Taking the bottle of water offered, he just sat there for a minute before looking around.
Albert had been surreptitiously spying on his daughter's interactions with the boy for quite a while when people began dropping. He had briefly considered investigating the matter, but that would have required leaving Wren alone with a boy and that? That was something he just could not do. In light of that, his own growing fatigue had been at least somewhat concerning, but he had endeavored to ignore it until it overwhelmed him.
Now? Now he was waking up under a table, and there were the sounds of battle everywhere his ears reached.
Owen remembered trying to reassure the older boy about his friend who had gone down, and then... and then... he didn't know, but he awoke to the sound of screams. Still feeling woozy, he pushed himself to his feet and glanced blearily around the medical area, looking for Daniel and his friend.
There was a lot of screaming, and fighting sounds, and---- that meant bad guys.
Swallowing, Owen tugged off his red mask - huh, it seemed different now, the bad guys must have done something to it, and crawled under a cot. He couldn't do a whole lot, but he had to help somehow - and maybe he could get other people out? Nobody was paying attention to the cots, let alone a little boy wedged under one of them, and so he felt safe enough to pull out his pen and power up.
Now he needed to get other kids out of here!
----------------------------------- Joseph Ross - Unawakened, 10HP
Well, okay. Some party. People were dropping like flies and now monsters and costumed weirdos were having it out on one another. Seeing that the party was dissolving into complete chaos, Joseph felt not one ounce repentant for taking that ugly pink mask and tossing it to the wayside.
He thought he'd seen the girl from the coffee shop here earlier - if so, he needed to find her. No way was he leaving a pretty lady like that trapped in this mess!

"MY EAR." Emily swatted Albert very lightly, remaining crouched a moment until she saw Helicon, and positively perked.
"Hi Dad. You're a snoop Dad. C'mon Dad, I know one of these guys, he's gonnas help us get out of here. Follow me and don't do anything reckless. We're dealing with an organization of psychopaths and I'd rather you not get killed. Just... Trust me."
She knew she'd likely need to half-a** a story later to her poor father - likely just say she met Helicon and he was a friend of Andrew's or something, but for now, Helicon was powered up, which meant things were turning south quickly, and Emily slipped out of the hiding area smoothly, standing up and tapping Helicon's shoulder.
"Let's go, ignore my Dad, he's kind of melodramatic." She apologized, then whispered. "He was spying on us I think."
The latter half was a grumble, casting Albert a look clearly indicating that she found it to be a betrayal. And then indicated to him 'I'm watching you' before looking back to Helicon.
"Let's get out of here."
She smiled a bit, grinning. "Before something else happens.

Massalia hoped Owen was okay. And Subra - he didn't see them, and the Super Senshi moved rapidly before blinking, seeing Almary across the room and he lit up, bolting over to hug the boy tightly.
"Almary!" He keened. "Subra's missing. And she fainted. I'm worried. You're smart - hwe need to find her! Do you have a plan?"
He had no idea if Almary had the dream - nightmare - he or Bailey did, but if so, he wasn't messing up by him now. Oh no. Almary was getting care and attention from the ghate.
"Maybe if we can find her we can get our families out."

Ferris darted about rapidly as she looked for some sign of what caused the fight, entirely confused - who WERE these people? Who were heroes and who were villians?!
The senshi huffed, sighing before spotting a young man that somewhat reminded her of Bily Joel, and grinned. YES. A BYSTANDER TO PROTECT.
And so she dropped next to the redhead in a pink mask and plucked it from his face, offering a bow.
"Sailor Ferris at your servis. You look lost - need an sisst young sir?" She beamed happily, posing a bit.
Why not anyhow - it was nice to show off.
Although she wishes she had a catchphrase to use.

Pisces rushed into the first ballroom rapidly, looking around for signs of the Negaverse with a frustrated noise - they were everywhere, and the Senshi of Imagination was not happy. So, she began to stalk to find the lowest ranking agent she could. She was so planning to kick someone. SO HARD.

Bismuthite had followed Ladon - Wolframite's - gaze, and...he wished he could say he was surprised, but he wasn't.
"There's nothing we can do without putting ourselves in jeopardy. Not here at least..." He said to Wolframite quietly beneath the racket going on around them.
Bismuthite knew, senshi or not, Wolframite would want to help his friends, but honestly? That would just make things even worse for all of them.
MAybe this would be the push Wolframite needed.... They were both already quite fed up with the Negaverse. Nothing had changed since those memories came flooding to them that night months ago.... Months ago, when they started really evaluating their position within the chaotic organization. Bismuthite had had his reservations even before then, but now.... THere was a part of him deep inside that thirst for freedom. Freedom from the oppressive force that was Chaos.

Natalie wasn't the only one who wasn't ordinary. Hurriedly Emory considered his options. He couldn't very well power up out here -- there were too many people who weren't panicking and running about who might see him. But if he turned her loose he might lose track of her. Yet holding onto her wasn't much of a choice either, as she might struggle and flee anyway. Decisions, decisions.
Reluctantly he let her hand slide out of his, but not before giving it a squeeze. "I promise, I will. And you get someplace safe too, Lee" he added, glancing around for a place to quickly power up. He didn't suspect she'd get too far, not in this chaos.
She'd be easy to find again. And when he did find her, he'd drain her.

Sailor Skadi - HP 20
Raleigh's dancing slowed to a super lazy sway as she rubbed at her eyes. She lifted her mask slightly so it was resting on her forehead, squinting across the dancefloor to see her brother at the bar. It seemed like he was slumped over it with a drink in his hand. Had he already drank that much? Oh to be a real, true grown up! She sighed dreamily as she wobbled on her feet. Was it getting hot in here? Wait... Were those Senshi she saw? She could swear she was hearing henshin phrases. Raleigh stood frozen in the middle of the dance floor for a moment as she mentally scrambled to figure out what exactly was going on. And then suddenly like a tidal wave, it occured to her that there was definitely fighting going on around her. She looked back at the bar to see that Brodie had disappeared and a pang of fear punched her in the gut.
Not wasting a single second of more time, Raleigh ran to a secluded corner, ensured that she was alone and she clawed at her clutch to get her henshin pen out in desperation. In a flourish of color and snowflakes, Sailor Skadi stood in Raleigh's place. Her healed clicked on the hardwood floor as she ran through the hotel to find her brother and fight some bad guys.

I figure with her running around in the hotel, you can put Coffinite anywhere to run into her!

Sailor Glauke - HP 20
The moment that chaos errupted throughout the hotel, Brodie hopped over the bar and punched the bartender square in the face to knock him out. Ducking down to use the bar to conceal himself, he pulled his henshin pen out of his pocket and transformed into Sailor Glauke. Get Raleigh and get out, that was all he needed to do. He stood up and looked to where he last saw his sister and when he realized that Raleigh was no where to be seen, panic raced through him. No no no, this is very very bad...
Leave it to Raleigh to disappear and get herself into trouble. With a sigh, he moved through the hotel to find his sister.

Corrupt Super Sailor Cyllene - HP 40
"The biggest of pleasures, Kor! You better take good care of Laine or I'll have to kick your butt! But really, congratulations that is so awesome. I'm soooo happy for your guys!"
Dani picked up on the mention of a mission and she peered at Kor for a moment. If Laine was willing to mention a mission, that must mean that Kor was a Negaverse Agent as well. That thought was confirmed when all three of their communicator crystals went off. Orders came through and Dani, for once in her life, was speechless.
"I... Well... Duty calls, I suppose." And with that, Dani was pulling her pen out and was Super Sailor Cyllene. Now she had super fantastic hair like Kor and Laine did. Going on her tiptoes, Cyllene kissed Laine on the cheek then grinned at Kor. "See you two at the end of this, okay? I wanna hear all about the engagement and how you met and fell in love and everything!"
With that, Cyllene moved towards the stairs where there seemed to be an awful lot of commotion as people tried to push their way out of the hotel doors to freedom. At the end of the day, Cyllene figured that it was better for her to capture someone rather than one of the more... Aggressive Negaverse agents.

DMC Eternal Sailor Leto - HP 40
Quinn should have known better than to think that a night like this could last or go flawlessly. When Clarisse leaned in close to whisper in her ear, Quinn cringed. Of course this was a Negaverse operation, why wouldn't it be? She could feel her heart begin to race and she was suddenly very aware of how quickly she was breathing. Hr hands dropped to her side and she watched as Clary pulled away from her and disappeared. The brunette was still standing where Clary had left her as Persephone stepped out in her place and went to go do whatever it was that the Negaverse was doing.
Her hands balled to fists and she took a few steps back until her back pressed against the wall. Was she having a panic attack? This felt like a panic attack. This was her first large-scale battle since the nightmares began and Quinn was pretty convinced that everything that the Negaverse did would inevitably lead to that future. Maybe this was step one to a complete world take-over.
The thought made the panic worse, her palms were awfully sweaty now... In a dazed state, Quinn reached for her henshin pen, stepped away from the dancefloor and powered up.
Just get people out. Don't let them win.

Her hand reached out and grabbed onto the arm of the senshi of static running by. It was a quick reaction but a painful one as a spark seemed to fly and Delilah jerked her hand back, trying to shake the shock off.
"Seriously?" The woman winced looking at her friend's 'second' form. Still, she stepped forward, still in her evening dress, watching the events unfold.
"Something is off." Delilah finally stated, wiggling her fingers once again before crossing her arms of her chest. She had been standing in the shadows watching the events unfold in the lobby before her. "They aren't acting like they always have. Too many people are still standing and..." Delilah shot a glance towards Siduoer. "They aren't trying to kill us..."

Who knew cattle had a reverse setting? Schörl's breath came out of her lungs with a heave, scattering some of the blood already on her gums to air. Her arms draped limp over his shoulders for half a moment.
A breathless, lungless laugh started low. The cadence of it was rasped but regular and built up as the calls of cicada in forest distances. Her arms regained sinew, wrapped as too long vices around his unarmored neck. She pressed her lips against his near ear, "Et in Arcadia ego."
"Push harder, Realgar. That was a good start, but can you finish the job?"
