Welcome to Gaia! ::

Glad to know she could understand him, and that he had no reason to apologize, he listened and nodded to her words. He was glad she had listened to him and agreed, as it seemed she did. "Would be good...for any who transcend...maybe tell how...see if there is a pattern...among planets. And if any do as the other did - with the soul. To better understand." Gathering information was a key thing, it was something they needed. If it could help them good...if it didn't provide any patterns then what was the harm? They had information and while it didn't go beyond basic knowledge it was still just that - knowledge. If it proved to be more than just basic knowledge, provided a pattern or something to go by, then they had something more.

With so little knowledge, only able to gain what ancestors provided, or memories, it was imperative that anything significant be noted and shared. How they transcended, what each went through to achieve it, and if any others brought a soul back to this galaxy cauldron. It could prove more useful than one would think, when looked at as a whole.

Smiling, a bit, he turned and went back to his seat - only to find it taken. Lips came together in a thin line for a moment, dark eyes wandering for a new seat, and then he spotted one and went right for it. Seating himself he leaned back, glad for his uniform being heat friendly though he wished he had sunblock right now - he needed it.

Falias had been listening as one of the gathered knights (Scholomance) had spoken up to expand on the topic of ancestors and ancestry.

His green eyes looked thoughtful as he considered the other knight's words, because whilst it was true that he didn't consider Daithi to be a mere 'ghostly being', he also hadn't had much conversation with the former Falias knight.

Perhaps however that was something he could change, or at the very least try to.

He was still considering the idea when his gaze shifted towards Hvergelmir and whilst the started look in his eyes suggested that he hadn't expected her to be staring back at him, it didn't stop his eyes from eventually shifting to follow the direction of her gaze as she stared at something further down in the stands.

Except it wasn't a 'something' - more like a someone - his eyes taking in the young woman with the woven crown-like wreath of branches in her hair and garbed in the greens and browns of Earth...

And whilst Falias didn't claim to be any particular expert, even he could see that she looked distressed.

His eyes shifted to Hvergelmir for long enough to give her a small nod before quietly making his way towards the young woman (Hercynia).

She was further down than he was usually comfortable with, however it didn't stop him from taking a seat close by, making sure to wait a few moment before he hesitatingly spoke up, the words a little awkward as he asked "Is this your first time visiting Olympus?"

Falias sat still as blue eyes turned in his direction, as a part of him hoping that he hadn't ended up startling the Earth Page, although he'd take blinking over distress - even if he wasn't really sure what had prompted the reaction.

He managed a smile at the quiet response to his question, the smile genuine for all that it was on the awkward side.

"There's quite a lot of us so it can be hard following everything going on here sometimes" he said, "Especially if everyone tries to ask questions."

And he was well aware that he was probably sounding lame and that he probably should be asking something like whether she was okay or something, but even he could see that she wasn't and so it wasn't really a pool that he wanted to try and dip in...

And besides he'd already started down this path and so was doggedly sticking to it - awkwardly sticking to it but sticking to it nonetheless.

"But I can try to explain if you have any questions" a hesitant pause "At least if you want me to."

Another awkward attempt at a smile as he added "I'm Falias - Falias of Earth."

Kairatos turned one of his familiar shades of red when Meteora sized up Hvergelmer.

"She... kind of does." He admitted. He hadn't noticed it back in the day, but more recently it felt like there might as well have been neon signs pointing to it. "I guess it's part of her 'non combatant' thing but I can't agree with the part where she's avoiding mentioning that for every handful of Astrophilites who might want out, there's at least a dozen Schorls and others like her. Painite or the like. The kind that grab on to the excuse to throw humanity out the window and blame it on someone else. Chaos made me do it and all that s**t. Chaos never made me do anything, it just made it easier. If it was Chaos's fault... we wouldn't have Castor and his pile of dead lieutenants."

It was a cold shot, especially with Hvergelmer reminding her that even the Negaverse could recruit young, if not as young as the senshi, but that was sort of the point. Met didn't need the candy coating. She'd have dissected it if he tried.

"That?" He added when she pointed. "Camelot, the only Royal Knight we have."

Since they were sight seeing, he nodded in the direction of Gorner as well. "And your first sighting of the poor, unfortunate soul that gets shafted by the universe as a Castor Knight. A girl Castor Knight. Gonna get that poor girl a goddamn taser for dealing with him."

"That is Camelot?" Meteora managed to get out with her voice half cracking as she did. Green eyes went large and then softened again when she realized she was staring. Normally it wouldn't bother her because you did meet so many interesting people when they came over to comment about watching them or made a face back. However, this time, she was turning her eyes back to Kai. "I don't know...I expected him to be...taller?" She shrugged.

"And maybe a bit more...well..." She pointed to where Hvergelmer stood. "In charge. But I guess this backs what you said about the strongest not being there." She leaned back in her chair, her hand slipping from Kai's hand and absent mindlessly stroked his upper leg as she gazed around. Her own mind was clearly putting things together as she gazed at the other faces and knights.

Snapped back to the local space, Meteora looked over as a young woman came to join them. She was dressed in blue and clearly in something easier to move in than her own attire. Lucky lady.

As if flicking a switch, Meteora's mind changed gears and she flashed the other woman a glowing smile. "Meteora. A pleasure. Glad to see I'm not the only one rather....unimpressed. Though there are some very interesting dynamics at play here."

"But how did you get Keely or Key from Gorner?"

"I'm not particularly a fan of staying still for long, I prefer action and activity over sitting about. Not to mention everything she's saying is soo...neutral sounding or goody goody, fluffy." Gorner commented looking at Meteora. Normally such things weren't her style, fighting and all, but this was a war and it had to be handled like one...or else the casualties and the length of this whole thing would just go up - more than it needed to.

Pointing to Kairatos she nodded her head. "What he said, Key is preferred, it's quicker and easier." Shrugging her shoulders a bit. "And no, no luck recently. Perhaps the three of us could go out - maybe we'll have some luck then?" She ventured with a smile at them both. She had no problem working with the two of them to track down and take out some youma, the idea was appealing even. She could get to know the other Page and learn more from the knight. it was a win/win situation. "I'll ask about the oath thing another time. I'm bored enough as is, if I ask now and wind up staying back to do it...it's more time spent here being bored." And she really didn't want to do that. She would rather being busy doing something - anything!

"I'll help if you get anything going. I don't know how to fight or anything but I'd be up for learning and getting to know others." She was totally up for the idea, in fact she hoped he could get something going. "No, we time to plan anyway. That's something to be done in private amongst a few people - not many." That would only breed...well...this insanity that was going on around them. So many people and voices. She was surprised it wasn't worse - louder given how many were here. Though it was good to see so many people here, she wasn't alone, though she was the only knight of Castor she knew of...so she kind of was alone.

"I'll see...but I don't know anyone really. I have two cousins who are senshi, heat and cold, but otherwise I don't know anyone..." She offered up easily. She was up for it though and she was sure they could find more people in time.

Cordoba was siulent again, thinking over the wonder before looking at her palm. She considered Scholomance's words, and Hver's, and the page studied her finger.

Her blood, as she understood it, was a 'key' locking and unlocking areas of Cordoba. Xifeng had been very clear if that - it was specific and she didn't know how it worked. Still, Cordoba considered both of em, then nodded.

"Looks like I have work to do." She murmured thoughtfully. "Things to investigate."

Such as anything useful; anything within she could access to aid in the battle. She would need to question Xifeng but as far as she knew, it had been a research City.

Then again, perhaps there was a library she could access. It was worth exploring if she could unlock it...

Stonehenge seemed thoughtful, nodding to Delphi before beaming a charming smile as the cosmos knight approached, nodding respectfully as he rubbed his chin.

"I sincerely worry for my family then. We are quite social, and one cousin is seeking to join the police department. If they target civilians, then they could bery well be in danger and I've no way to tell them."

And he knew at minimum if anything happened to their grandfather his sister and cousin Reynard would be devastated. He also diuidn't relish Cherish having pity thrown on her in the Academy, and the page seemed thoughtful.

"Do we have a method to protect civilians yet? And effecient one, at least?"

If not he was going to start working out... Something.

Havasu listened to Hvergelmir answer his question, disapointed that there wasn't really anything that could be done. He wasn't really surprised but it was still annoying. With a sigh he settled back into his chair, his eyes roving the crowd as a Saturn knight spoke up and drawing Hav's moss green gaze. He recognized the knight although now he was more bone covered. The Saturn knight had some pretty good points, maybe that's why Havasu's ancestor was mia. If he was stuck in one place for a thousand years he might sulk too, although after so many trips not having even one interaction with his ancestor was kind of frustrating.

The Pluto knight kept silent even as more questions were posed and more answers were given, smiling as Venice spoke up. Hav had several questions and suggestions floating around in his head but this time and place weren't really good for any of them. Besides most of them had to deal with the idea that he still needed more info for. His brow rose as he spotted the person who Hav needed the info from, a grin flashing across his face as he saw the two girls sitting next to him.

The urge to tease the Mars knight was too strong. It didn't take long for Havasu to make his way over to the trio, playing the ham he swept his hat off and bowed. "Might I join you ladies?" Standing up he shot Kai a wink and added, "Now Kai you know it's not nice keeping all the pretty women to yourself."





Tortuga kept his own counsel, mentally noting that he really needed to get to his wonder. It seemed that there were things to learn from it. He had avoided having to deal with it, using excuse after excuse. Mostly forgetting all about it until something like this comes up. All the questions were piquing his curiosity. What kind of place would the wonder Tortuga be like anyway?

His train of thought was derailed as someone mentioned any way to keep civilian's safe. Sometimes he forgot that there were people who got hurt without being part of their fight. Collateral damage. How many of the runs he went on were from those people? Was there a way to prevent collateral damage? What about giving first aid when it did happen? How many knights that were surrounding him actually knew first aid?

It was those thoughts that prompted him to call out, "is there a medical group? People who know first aid or more? Sadly there isn't likely a way to avoid civilian injuries but if we know how to help them maybe the injuries won't be so bad." It never hurt to ask. Besides, the answer would also give him a better idea on possibly getting a first aid class together.
