Welcome to Gaia! ::

Blue eyes shifted from Cyllene to the two senshi and the knight. "...Cyllene?" She asked, quirking a brow. "...Cy, do you know them?" The corrupt took a few steps closer but stopped just short of the blonde corrupt. The aura radiating off the marked Eternal made Azurite incredibly uneasy, and if she were honest with herself, she'd say she felt a bit sick. She had only felt that once before, but that time felt much worse. "I don't know why they're doing this. Honestly, I'm a bit surprised their pulling something on New Years but.. whatever." It wouldn't have been her choice.

"...If Wolframite is here, I haven't seen him." She said, speaking toward the blonde senshi. "What do you wa-" A pause. "What do you need with Wolframite?"

By the time he made it out of the ballroom, Jasper had to wonder if he had just stepped out of the pan and into the fire. It was 100% chaos all around the hotel. People were fighting each other, others were running around like their heads had been cut off, and still more were on the floor. A thought passed through his mind that the safest place to be now might be on the floor pretending to be out of it. But with that came the chance of being stepped on...

That could ruin his tuxedo and his hair.

So that choice was out as he stepped over an over turned chair and made his way down the wall. One hand on the wall at all times was a way to find an exit and insure he didn't double back. That was until he spotted something small and fluffy running around under people's feet.

"A cat? Here?" Really this place was starting to turn even more upside down. Was it going to start snowing inside too?

Shaking the thought, he bent down and moved towards the feline, hands out stretched to pick it up from behind. Jasper was not one to get fur all over his clothes so he held it out at arms length. At least you won't get stepped on..." He commented heading back towards the wall. However, it was then he spotted two males, both not acting strange and both smoking heading towards the bathroom. Best idea yet if that door had a lock.

Thus, cat in hands, he followed them and dove into the strangely quiet male's room. "Some party." He said gazing for a lock.

Sailor Sidouer - HP 20

Sidouer pursed her lips into a thin line clearly not finding any humor in Delilah's suggestion. "After what we just talked about a few nights ago you're telling me to leave? That's bull s**t and you know it. You asked me to meet you here and I'm here."

She drew in a sigh to calm her frustrations. "One of the biggest problems we face is the inability to work together and you know as well as I that we work best as a team" A statement that weighed heavy in truths as they have dusted several youma in the past.

"It's clear that they're not actually here to kill anyone otherwise they wouldn't have bothered with the nurse stations. Sidouer's eyes remained fixated on the crowd of individuals struggling to find their way out."What do you say we get out there and help?"




First floor - Back of the room
Pink - Mei

The chubby cat had not been expecting her snack to stir so quickly, nor had she expected him to shift into the uniform of a Mercury knight.

"Oh... I didn't realize I was with a knight!" she squeaked out as her body shifted slightly in his hold. As she squirmed a bit as she also reassured "I promise, I have eaten chocolate before and it doesn't bother my stomach!"

Her nose did begin to twitch as a familiar scent began to drift into her sensitive nostrils. The chocolate had been a delightful treat, but now that it was mostly cleaned up, it left another scent to linger in the air.

"...Hmmm... why do you smell like Lydia?" she casually floated in the air as she leaned closer to the boy's body for a better sniff.

********* - 40 HP

"I... uh..." Helicon just blinked dumbly at Emily, and then looked down at ********* who commented that he smelled like Lydia. Well obviously! He lived in her apartment!

"Yeah, I live with Lyddie! She is my best friend," And he didn't think this was insensitive to announce, because obviously you could have a million billion best friends. But it was shortly after that he realized the comment came from the cat who was talking, and his startled reaction was regrettable as an involuntary yelp and scream escaped him. And then, unsure of what he was holding, because it was obviously magical and scary and unknown magical and scary things sometimes resulted in being an amnesiac who wasn't allowed to go home to your mom.

He threw the round cat like a hot potato, sending it straight at a nearby negaverser blocking their immediate path out.

Helicon- 20hp- CAPTURABLE

Airborne manx cats were not necessarily the most aerodynamic thing out there. However, with the heft of a Knight throwing her (randomly), ********* literally hit a nearby Negaverse agent with the tips of her claws. Naturally her body wanted to cling onto his body, her nerves a bit shot from the sudden flight. Rather quickly she scampered up the man's body, using her claws to clamber up his uniform until she was on his shoulders.

However, once she found herself a new perch, she suddenly grasped the full situation of where she was at.

"Oh, oops, I didn't mean to land here!"

Without a warning, the little pudgy cat's body shot up in height and mass, suddenly shifting into the form of a human-like girl.

When all else failed, sudden shape changing was a useful tactic!

********* - 40HP

Quartz had not been planning on attacking any of the knights or senshi at the party just then. Oh, he'd considered it -- he'd pictured himself fighting some unsuspecting little page or something, defeating and capturing them just like Schorl had once defeated and captured him -- but the mere idea of this was so alarming, so repellent, that he had, in actuality, mainly been trying to avoid dry heaving in a corner or making it too visibly apparent that he was having a minor panic attack and could barely breathe.

So when the knight started heading his way, hurrying toward the doors with a friend alongside, what he had intended to do was to let them go by and pretend not to notice. He'd be punished for that, he knew it -- and that thought also made him hyperventilate and desperately fight down the rise of bile in his throat -- but he couldn't do what had been done to him. She couldn't -- she couldn't ask him to --

It was funny, the things the human body learned to do when it was caught off-guard and had to react on instinct. It was funny, the instincts a determined expert could instill in someone in just a short time.

One moment, Quartz was planning on letting the knight run past. The next moment, there was a cat being flung at his stomach.

In the immediate moment, this was startling. As evidence of this point, he cried out, "Jesus -- ******** --" In the next second or two, it was a little painful, as said cat then climbed Quartz like King Kong up the Empire State Building and crested clawfully over his shoulder. But this was nothing compared to the effect of having said cat transform into what was apparently a full-grown person, dozens of pounds of live weight suddenly pressing down on him from one shoulder.

He staggered and hit the ground bruisingly hard. His finer brain functions, he was fairly certain, disconnected somewhere around 'then the cat transformed into a girl' -- and from there, Quartz fell back on only the things that Schorl had impressed upon him were vital for survival and success. Sympathy for someone who'd thrown a monster cat in his face was not one of these things.

New priorities, then: make all the scary things go away and/or stop being dangerous. Quartz was scared. People were attacking him, and he wanted it to stop. In that context, he felt a momentary suspension of sympathy that was a welcome relief.

Step one -- he grabbed the, the girl -- cat -- uh, girlcat, digging both hands into the back of her vest, and flung her widely to one side -- not noticing the other Negaverse agent directly in the path of this throw.

Step two -- he made a dash not for the knight, but for the friend, the human friend, pulling her back and holding her by the chin and throat in the universal position for 'imminent neck snap.'

"Killing her would be easy for me," he heard himself saying in a dead voice that sounded very far away. "Or you could surrender. Let me know."

Lt. Quartz- 32 HP

Throwing ********* at Galena for 8 damage to them both.

Purplish eyes looked unimpressed at the hissing black and white cat - after all he'd had far bigger things hiss at him and besides he knew the hiss-hiss trick too, something that he demonstrated by letting out his own hiss. However coming as it was from his small frame, it was perhaps about as impressive as his puffing up had been.

"Well you certainly aren't trying to stop this or help people get out" he retorted, as unimpressed at her 'not part of this' comment as he had been at the hissing. His gaze took in the Corrupted Super with her "Neither of you are."

He swung his paw at her again, avoiding the face because that was plain mean, but putting all of his kitty strength into the blow.

"The Nurse Station is just along the way" Briar muttered, but he followed after nonetheless because the woman was still holding onto the kid and tugging her along and he wasn't about to leave her.

Whatever was going on didn't seem to have hit this part of the hotel and it wasn't long before they reached the station where he'd found himself at when he'd woken up from his earlier falling down bout.

He scratched awkwardly for a moment and before looking at the orange-haired woman "We could have walked here ourselves, but thanks for taking us." Not that he intended on staying for any long stretch - just long enough for her to get out of sight and then he'd take the kid with him and find somewhere to power up.

It would have best if he could just find somewhere to power up because Horatio had said that Oort was a secret identity and you weren't supposed to share secret identites but that would mean leaving the kid behind and he wasn't about to do that because she was just a kind and they were kind of in this together now.

And he could always get her to pinky promise not to tell before he powered up because everyone knew that you didn't break a pinky promise.

First though he had to wait on the orange-haired woman to leave them alone and get out of sight and then he and the kid could go look for their people.

It occurred to him as he waited that he should perhaps find out her name given that they were going to be in this together and all.
