Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Scared does not even begin to cover it you jerk." Alexandria growled quietly as Babylon hugged him. "You're good now right? Good. Don't ******** do it again or I will shove my key so far into your kidneys it will be the least of your issues." Needless to say Alexandria was still cranky over the whole thing. He was about to question just why Babylon's uniform changed when he caught what Mistral had said.

A problem with her insides.

Gee. Now where had he heard that before..

"....Babylon. That better not mean what I think it means." The page groaned, scrubbing his face again. "No. You know what? Frick it. I'm a Jupiter page now. And if anyone questions my uniform I'll tell em there's a glitch in the matrix. Alexandria promptly curled in on himself arms folded on his knees with his arms buried in them.

Niflhel listened though he kept to himself mostly watching as Mistral talked. Looking in interest as she showed the vellum with the information on it, though he wasn't sure he could read the writing.

His chin was rested in one hand, who's elbow was rested in the palm of his other hand. "I'll be glad to help where I can." He chimed but otherwise falling back quite to listen and what, though he wondered if this meant an adventure on another wonder - that would be kind of epic Niflhel wasn't even going to lie.

Babylon already knew... about ninety percent of what Mistral had to say, having been privy to earlier conversations on the subject. But he hadn't realized she was going to invite everyone to come have a field trip to Mercury - that was hella new and exciting! He looked eagerly to the pages on either side of him, ready to volunteer them both as tribute.

But luckily for Alexandria and Mimisbrunnr both, he heard someone sigh behind him. Babylon would know that specific sigh pretty much anywhere. Or, even if he wouldn't have, he would have said he did for dramatic effect. He turned in his seat to give the knight behind him a quick wave. "Hey, Val, didn't see you there."

He actually, honestly hadn't.

"Ready to go all Indiana Jones under the surface of Mercury?" he asked.

Anyway, Alexandria needed his attention again. Babylon turned back around, throwing an arm over the page's shoulder. "I'm fine now," he assured him. "Better than new." Still figuring everything about this new gig out, but hey. Alexandria didn't need to know that he didn't even know what kind of new powers he had besides just that he had them.

"What? What's that?" he asked, and then he realized. "Oh. No. Uh, Mistral's stuff is a totally non-magical medical issue and that's all I'm at liberty to say about it. Get to know her and maybe she'll tell you. Please don't leave me for Valhalla. We'll have fun. I promise. I'll prove it to you." (His idea of fun might have been underage drinking and Cards Against Humanity within the confines of Florence Court.)

He extended his other arm around Mimisbrunnr's shoulders, pulling both pages in a bit closer. "So, are you two in? Gonna help Mistral build all the things? We Mercury Knights have got to stick together in the name of scientific inquiry, you know."

Buyan looked a little confused. . . ? There were rings that sent messages? Wellll that explained how she got those papers that just appeared in front of her. "Uhhh.... Ma'am Do I have to have my ring to help?" She asked looking a little sheepish and puzzled at the same time.

"Because. . . . I'd love to uh help but I'm a little short of this ring thing." Man maybe instead of focusing on her book as much she could turn some of that attention into actually being a Knight. Buyan frowned slightly as she pondered over this problem.

"Mine didn't come with my uniform either," Hvergelmir piped up in Buyan's direction. "I found it at my Wonder, but it's definitely different from anything else I've seen. It's the only thing that stays both when I'm powered up and when I'm powered down -- my plain clothes and my uniform both switch out. If you can find one of your own, it's good to have."

To Mistral, she said, "I've got lots of free time. I can probably help out, if you tell me what I'm looking for."

Unlike some of the others of their number, Laney was decidedly unemployed. It made for a lot more hours in the day -- and since she couldn't really contribute to the advancement of Order's cause through fighting, Hvergelmir was eager to make herself useful however else she could.

There wasn't complete silence when the Page started speaking, but it was quiet enough that Falias was able to hear her, mentally filing away the name she introduced herself her by - Mistral.

He hadn't initially noticed the papers when he had first glanced that way, but his attention was drawn as Mistral picked them up, his green eyes looking at them in interest.

There seemed to be some sort of blue cursive on the lavender paper and Falias found himself leaning forward to try and get a better look at it as he listened to Mistral speak.

"If you still need helpers, then I'd be happy to give you a hand if I can" Falias said to Mistral, waiting until the chatter about knight rings that sprung up in answer to a blonde Page's (Buyan) query had quietened down before speaking up, wondering as he did what Mistral meant by 'problems with her insides'.

Mimisbrunnr was a little surprised to see Alexandria so angry with Babylon - but then, she had missed most of the fun that was the Knight's recent diddling with weird unknown magic. "I'm gonna have to ask you what he's talking about later," she said, fiddling with her fingers a little in her lap.

Mistral's request sounded fascinating. And so, as soon as the Page asked, she bounced up off her seat. "I volunteer!" She declared, perhaps a bit too loudly. "Uhm." And then she plopped back down, cheeks burning, glad for her dark skin and that this uniform nearly entirely covered her face.

"Uhm. Yeah. Totally ready to help build all the things," she said, staring down at her hand which was, right then, bare of any ring-like accoutrements. "It'll be nice to see Mercury. I haven't been, yet." She was a little nervous about explaining "Going to space, be back in a bit" to Ganyel, who she had so far happily looped in to this little magical adventure.

"So hi it's really nice to meet you, Valhalla," she babbled, leaning around Babylon to offer a hand to the other Knight - of Jupiter, apparently. She filed that information away.
