Hvergelmir was struck by the young senshi. He was so vibrant, he just had this -- this indefatigable energy that just reminded her of . . . of . . .
Oh. Right. Degrasse.
Delinking her arm from Mimisbrunnr's, Hvergelmir stepped forward to take the outstretched hand. "I'll meet you up there?" she said to the Mercury page.
They were knights, so they couldn't go to the moon on their own no matter what; they might as well split up.
"Two to beam up, Scotty," she said to Sailor Oberon and Sailor Vulcan.

Vanessa knew what it was to feel small and unnoticed. She had not been much older than Oberon, after all, when she'd donned Super Van's cape and launched herself into this war, armed with little more than her hero's heart. Nobody had taken her seriously then. Not really. But she carried those memories with her always. A warrior's power level did not always dictate what they were capable of.
And so she stood proudly beside Oberon, pleased that he was to ber her guide, laughing softly to herself over the size of the grin on his face.
"Let's go, captain," she said to Sailor Oberon, bright eyes twinkling at Hvergelmir overtop of the chibi senshi's head. It was probably criminal, considering her innate curiosity, that Sailor Vulcan did not already have a moon pearl of her own.
After leaving Ash and Irene over at Destiny tower, Athene had made his way over to Meadowview as fast as he could, conscious of the fact that without a cat there to aura block that at some point the gathering auras would probably start to attract attention. However despite making the trip at a jog and with eternal senshi speed on his side, the distances between site meant that it still took a bit longer than he would have liked to make it over to Meadowview.
Making his way over to the basketball court, Athene realised that there were quite a few people there, mostly senshi although he was also picking up a few of Knight auras too. Spotting Ida near a red and blue clad senshi he made his way over to the two, Liryn still perched on his shoulder, waiting until he was in conversational distance before speaking. "Good evening" he said, his quiet greeting directed equally to both Ida and the unfamiliar eternal. "Sorry for the delay, we came as fast as we could once we got Thraen's message."
It seemed a little silly to try gesturing at his shoulder with Liryn sat there so instead Athene continued "This is Liryn," unaware as he made the introductions that Ida had already met the little bobtail. "He's volunteered to help out here and aura-block and I'm Athene" the last was for the red and blue clad eternal's benefit. "I have a pearl, so can help out with ferrying and Liryn can produce pearls if anyone needs one."
Then as he spotted a familiar tail-wearing cat nearby he added "Hi Horatio, are you helping out too?"
After leaving Destiny Tower, Liryn had clung to Athene's shoulder with his paws as the eternal senshi jogged his way over to Meadowview. His purplish eyes had looked over at those gathered in interest, most of the auras present senshi auras although he was also picking up on a few Knight auras.
There was quite a few people gathered though and a part of Liryn was worried about whether he would be able to block all the gathered auras on his own, although he was willing to give it his very best shot.
There's no time like present he thought to himself, and settled down to dampening the auras of those present Athene made his way through those gathered and headed towards two eternal senshi, the purple clad one familiar, the one in red and blue not.
He'd been quiet as Athene spoke to the pair, but piped up after Athene had finished speaking "Hi Ida, it's good to see you again" he looked over at the red and blue clad eternal and giving her a cheerful hello as well, before adding "I can do one better than producing pearls - I can upgrade your phone to one that has it inbuilt - Ash showed me how when she did Athene's one." He thought about it for a moment, his voice turning serious "Although I'm not sure I can do that and aura block - not if I'm the only one..."
He spotted Horatio at about the same time that Athene hailed the googles and tail flag-wearing cat and called out "Hi Horatio" before looking back at Ida and the red and blue clad eternal as he added "Actually with Horatio to help block auras, I should be able to do a few phone upgrades if anyone wants one." Well at least he could as long as numbers stayed as they were, if more people turned up then he'd have to focus entirely on the aura-blocking.
All
If any senshi wants their phone upgraded to a smartphone then Liryn is happy to do this for you whilst numbers stay at around 10/11 (at least by my count there's around this number), he'll also be making the same offer once up on the moon

I've kind of assumed that Liryn found HQ as part of his and Ash's shared scouting exercise, but let me know if I should change that

Ganymede appeared back on Earth alone, into a swelling group of unfamiliar faces. The thought had not really plagued her mind at all during the initial transport, but it came to her notice again that she knew so few of those that gathered. Without Valhalla with her she struggled against a sudden wave of loneliness and the heavy weight of her own insignificance. Large as the group had become with each new arrival, this was still but a fraction of their numbers.
Briefly she wondered how many others would be making their way to the Moon that night. She shrugged it off and did her best to suppress any lingering insecurities. If she could find her place among the stars, she could find a place among her allies.
Still, instinct carried her closer to those she knew, inching toward Kallichore now that she no longer had Valhalla's steady presence at her back. Once again she lifted her Senshi phone into the air and called out to those assembled, “Alright, guys, who's next?”
She stared around at their faces but saw so few that stood out from previous encounters. Kallichore, of course, and Ida. Athene, too, had just arrived, and Horatio was not an unfamiliar presence. Then there was Megrez, whom Ganymede knew by face and fuku if not personally. That was an improvement from three years ago; better even than their first dramatic trip to the Moon. Oberon's presence earned a double-take and a Look but not a lecture. He was safe in this, at least, and not so ignorant that he couldn't decide for himself when to power up and head into the night.
“Don't all of you rush up at once!” Ganymede joked good-naturedly. “There's already a few other Senshi up there, so we probably shouldn't keep them waiting too long. Wait a sec, did I just hear something about new phones?” she paused and swiveled around to stare between the two small cats.
"Can I go up this time?" Megrez asked, then proceeded to not give Ganymede much time to answer. She just sort of sauntered up and took a spot right next to her. She wasn't trying to be pushy by any means; she was just getting a bit excited and fidgety and curious to see what this Moon Ruin was like. She was expecting something like what she had seen on her homeworld that one time, only a bit more put-together and less rural-looking. Furthermore, the meeting that was to be held there made her a little nervous. The Blackwatch sounded like an excellent idea, but it also sounded incredibly ambitious. Would the people in charge even be able to pull it off?

Mimisbrunnr was mostly quiet, letting herself be walked over to the group and answering Hvergelmir's questions softly and hoping not to draw too much attention to herself.
"I wasn't expecting anyone else either." She acknowledged. God, the whole Mistral thing had been absolutely awful. If she never had to think about it again, she would be happy, except she couldn't escape thinking about it. It was kind of insidious, that way. "I'm...doing alright. I gave my girlfriend the broad strokes, and she's been pretty understanding about the whole 'sleeping is hard' thing." To put it mildly. Sleeping had been, in the last few days, nigh impossible.
She swallowed nervously and waved when Hvergelmir introduced her to the group, feeling a little bit awkward the entire time. Of course she wouldn't be able to pass unnoticed - Hver's friendliness, at least so far, made that impossible.
She had to contain herself from looking horrified at the sight of someone who couldn't have been older than thirteen offering to help ferry people to the moon. This was her first exposure to a chibi senshi - they weren't an element of the war anyone had told her about, and she was entirely sure that she didn't like the very idea that there might be children in seifuku.
Did that mean that some of the Knights who died at Mistral had been even younger than she'd first thought?
Her hesitation meant that Hver had time to move away from her, to accept the child's - Oberon's, Sailor Oberon's, she'd heard his name - offer, and she nodded.
"Meet you up there," she agreed, and then she exhaled, eyes going to Ganymedde, who had now offered her services.
She liked Ganymede's aura feel. It was different than the other Senshi present, different in the same way Babylon's was different from other Knights. The small reminder of someone she trusted made her feel safer, all around.
"I'll go, too," she volunteered, stepping forward and resting a hand, lightly, on Ganymede's upper arm. "Thank you, by the by."
Nodding to both women whose names he did not know, he looked up to the moon, focusing hard on its light in the sky. He was not able to focus entirely on it when all of a sudden Ganymede was back at the basketball court, and he winced, expecting her to bother him about being there.
It took a little longer than he wanted it to, but soon enough, he clicked the button on his phone and disappeared from the basketball court, the two women in tow.

At the sound of the voice calling out the question 'who's next', Athene turned to look in the direction that it had come from and spotted the somewhat familiar blonde eternal that had suddenly appeared amongst them. It took a few moments of thinking , but eventually Athene was able to pull a name from his memory - Ganymede - as the blonde drifted in their direction giving her a slight but friendly smile.
There was something different about her aura, oh not in strength - strength-wise Ganymede's aura felt like the eternal senshi she was - but still different. Athene tried to think of a word, but the only one he was able to come up with was the word 'distinct'.
Ganymede mentioned something about people already being up there on the Moon and Athene thought that he'd seen a chibi disappear with a couple of people. Ganymade also queried about the new phones, but she'd been looking in Horatio and Liryn's direction at that point and well the phones were kind of a cat speciality so Athene thought it best to leave that for Liryn to answer.
A couple of people were approaching Ganymede, the first a senshi in yellow and orange (Megrez), although she was quickly followed by one of the knights that was present - a Mercury Page (Mimisbrunnr). There were still quite a few people around though and so Athene called out "If anyone's waiting for a ferry up to the Moon, I can also take people up", raising his voice a little in an attempt to make it better heard.
Liryn had been looking down at Horatio from his perch on Athene's shoulder, but he had looked up when Athene had turned to look in the direction of the voice that had suddenly appeared and spotted a new eternal drifting in their direction.
Since awakening to himself and setting out on his search for his senshi Liryn had ended up coming across a few eternal senshi, however he'd never come across one with an aura that felt quite like the one of the eternal senshi (Ganymede) heading in their direction. There was something so very distinct about it and Liryn was curious as to why, but he was distracted when she asked him about the new phones that he'd been mentioning to Ida and the blue and red-clad eternal (Kallichore).
"Ash told me that she and a cat called ********* came up with a new senshi phone" he said cheerfully. "It's really neat and has the moon pearl built in and there's apps for everything like going to the Moon" he continued before adding "Ash showed me what to do earlier when she did Athene's for him whilst we were over at Destiny Tower so I can do them too."
He was about to suggest that Athene show the eternal his phone, but at that moment a couple of people approached the blonde eternal. The first to reach the blonde senshi was a senshi in yellow and orange (Megrez), but she was quickly followed by an older Page of Mercury (Mimisbrunnr). Athene was also volunteering to take people up to the Moon and Liryn figured that was his cue to jump down from the dark-haired eternal's shoulder in case one or two of the gathered people took him up on his offer, noticing that three of the auras seemed to have disappeared from the basketball court and assumed that it was from someone else ferrying people to the Moon, although he hadn't seen the source.
“Sure, sure, step right up,” Ganymede smiled and beckoned both Megrez and the page of Mercury (Mimisbrunnr) closer.
To the cat who had explained the recent developments in Senshi phones (Liryn) , Ganymede said, “Come find me once we're all up on the Moon and you can have a go at my phone. These things are kinda outdated compared to civilian technology. You'd think space tech would be a little more advanced, you know, all Sci-Fi like, but I guess as long as it does as much as it needs to it's no big deal.”
She cut off any further rambling to focus her attention back on the Moon, thumb hovering over the center button on her phone once again.
Just as before, Ganymede, Megrez, and Mimisbrunnr disappeared from the Meadowview basketball court, heading up into the darkness of space.

(( Hey guys, I'm super sorry about the wait. The move set me back quite a ways with tags. I think it's safe to assume Kallichore has been chatting up people and is happy to ferry people to the moon using her pearl. I'll backread and come up with a good reply here. ))

“Alright people, last call!” Oberon announced as he appeared back on the basketball court having just transported the nice knight lady and senshi lady to the moon. There didn’t seem to be too many people left, seeing as Ganymede had just taken a few, and he took a couple himself. All that was left were the cats and the people who should be able to get to the moon just fine on their own.
“Are you two coming?” he chirped, forcing an expression of impatience as he looked towards another knight lady and the senshi who called herself Ida. He doubted anyone else would need his help.
Of course, if they were otherwise preoccupied, he would just head back to the moon anyway. He figured it would be polite to see if there were anyone else who showed up late.

Anyone is welcome to take Oberon up on his offer, so if you're showing up late feel free! Of course he can only take two with him, so the first two to volunteer going with him get the trip! :3

Bifrost nodded and stepped up to the chibi. "Of course!" She smiled and held out her hand. She wasn't sure how they were getting to the moon with the pearls, but it didn't look like it was some sort of autonomous pull thing.
Thankfully.
She waited patiently to be ported to moon.

Kallichore nodded to herself, looking up at the glowing moon that hung high in the sky above them. With her phone at the ready, she awaited the next few who needed ferrying. "I can take two with me, perhaps three. I can come back for anyone left behind. Please stand with me and I'll take you up."

[ Update ]
[ Ferries CLOSED ] Please focus your posts and attention regard the Black Watch founding on the Moon Ruin thread.
With all Ferries closing, the arrival of their ferryman and mauvians, Eternal Thraen will start off the meetings official business! He will be making with some walls of text, as is his habit, to present the argument and reasoning for the Watch, and his suggestions for its organization. Everyone is welcome to weigh in their opinions and suggestions In-Character. Thraen himself welcomes the democratic process in this, but will himself be policing the discussion if anyone becomes unnecessarily disrespectful. Debate is healthy, fighting amongst themselves is not. (If your character is the sort to be negative or combative, it is perfectly okay! Its a point of believeable conflict, it'll create tension. This is storytelling. Keep IC and OOC separate and fun! We'll roll with it and make it work. If you have ANY questions or concerns, don't hesitate to IM or PM me and we'll square things away.)
As time started to creep ever closer to the time of the meeting, Athene looked at Liryn "We should be making our own move up" he said quietly, adding "I can give you, both a ferry up if you want."
Liryn shook his head "There's something I want to do first, so I'll see you up there" he looked up at Ida. "Ida would you mind letting me have your phone?" He asked cheerfully, adding in the next breath. "I can give you a Moon Pearl, but Ash - she's the mauvian that sent round that group message - upgraded Athene's phone and she showed me what to do. Either way you'll be able to get up to the Moon by your own power, but I'd really, really like to do one of the new phones because they're awesome."
Athene gave a slight nod, a slight smile on his lips as he said "Okay, well I'll see you both on the Moon then" summoning his phone, he selected the app that Ash had showed him and then as with others before him, he disappeared from the basketball court.

Sorry Bluefire,here's the promised super belated close tag months late since I remember vaguely that Liryn was going to give Ida a way to get to the Moon under her own power.
