The small senshi perked up as she heard a voice respond down the hallway, out of sight around the curve of it. It was, honestly, a little creepy and called up horror movie plot lines, but at least there was sunlight streaming through all the windows, making the place seem warm and inviting. No one was ever murdered in warm and inviting spaces. Eros's boots thunked on the flooring as she headed towards the call, being cautious to stay near the wall to give herself the best view around the gradual curve of the hallway. It was kinda like it was a great big circle, which furthered the feel of being inside a great big tree. She started when she finally caught sight of someone, but relief came quickly at the sight of white wings. She felt like order, and despite her agreement with Quartz, Eros was happy not to be alone with one of the Negaverse, particularly anyone she didn't know. Too often they tried to kill her. "Yo!" Eros called as she lifted a hand, picking up her pace to job towards the red-head with her olive uniform. There was music notes all over her, and Eros had to wonder what that meant for her sphere.

Scholomance Knight: OutsideWhen Isaiah woke from a nap, he thought it the call of the Code again. Perhaps he wrote it off as another trip to Olympus, as some recent knight meeting that required his presence. Even as he donned the attire of Scholomance and acquiesced to the call, he expected to find the glaring deserts of Mars and the risen Colosseum entrapping him, and perhaps another gathering of knights waiting for introductions to that day’s theme.
When he arrived at the location, however, he discovered a far different - and terribly familiar - landscape. Masterfully overgrown grass threatened to overtake him at the waist, and in the distance he spotted the overwhelming trees that housed small pockets of civilization. He knew what it meant to be in one, he remembered, as memory returned of prodding within one of those small alcoves. The city reminded him of Pripyat for its quick abandonment, for how it remained so untouched afterward. He and Ida explored it. Therefore, this planet was most certainly Ida’s, and he knew not how it called him to without the senshi standing right beside him. What happened, then, to this place? It had to be a trouble of the planet’s, that perhaps it felt threatened and required more than its protector to defend itself.
The familiar shape of Venice lingered nearby, accompanied by the earth knight he met earlier at his signet upgrade dispersal. The pair were ahead of him, and Scholomance jogged to clear the distance. „Wait,“ he called lightly.
When he caught up, Scholomance slowed to converse with them. It wasn’t the time to ask after the signet ring upgrade, unfortunately. „Do either of you know what’s happening to this place? It’s Ida’s planet, but-…“ He paused, and looked toward the city once more. But there are no fires. But there’s still something sinister in the air. „I don’t know. I can’t see anything from here and the urge to come wasn’t exactly a dissertation on how the planet’s in distress.“

The people who arrived on Ida, either aware or not of where exactly they were, seemed to be working things out. Some grouped up, others didn't, but all felt the wrongness of this place. It pressed on the mind, nagged and nipped at the senses, accompanied by that strange, eerie flicker just on the edge of sight. It was like something moved when you weren't quite paying attention, but it was gone when you tried to catch it with your eyes. At least, for a while. Long enough for everyone to get their bearings. Long enough for them to be studied by those unseen eyes they felt watching them. It started small. Outside, puddles and spots of a sticky, black, tar-like substance appeared on the ground. Had they always been there...? Stepping in it felt... gross. Unclean. It stuck to shoes like gooey, black honey. Inside, it appeared liked beads of amber on the walls, swelling before dripping slowly downwards. It was a bit creepy, like the wood was weeping black tears...

"I don't think it's that simple, but I've never done it, or tried to have it done." He knew the Code at Olympus could do it, was pretty sure it had been involved in transporting people to Mistral, since neither Babylon or Mystral had the power to move so many themselves, but in this case, he wasn't sure. The Code was a Knight thing, not a Senshi one, so this particular summons was outside his already tentative understanding of it. And then he put a crutch into something thick and black and nasty when he tried to shift his weight, felt it squelch and the rubber end shift as it fought a little harder for purchase in the black syrupy substance in the grass. "Oh well THAT'S just great." He snorted, clearly sarcastic. That was all he needed, it was going to be hard enough to get around on crutches on what he assumed might well be an damned lot of stairs, given the tower, but then you threw in this crap... Met was going to tell him to go home, he was pretty damn sure. "Watch your step, there's... goo." He had no idea if it was normal to this place or not, but it certainly didn't make him feel any better, not with the sense of something wrong in the air, but he couldn't damn well punch goop, or hit it with anything. And he didn't want to ask for his summon pendant back, not knowing if it was as tarry as it looked, in which case it might well be impressively, awfully, disastrously flammable.

Super Sailor Elpis // Miss Kitty - Outside, moving for Rivendell the tower Elpis could feel other signature appearing - order, chaos - she was beginning to try catching the flickers at the edges of vision and failing miserably. There was something Wrong and - what where those puddles? Elpis knelt by one, studying it before swiping it bit wityh a finger. "Ew." Was all she muttered, making a face. On her shoulders, Miss Kitty hissed, fur ruffling as she stuck her tongue out in a gesture of disgust, and seemed to bunch higher, growling. "You touched it." "Mmmmyes I did." Elpis drawled back, rising slowly. "Ugh, I fel unclean now. So any ideas, Kitkat bar?" "No- I am not letting you use that. Only my person." Kitty scolded her senshi, swatting a bit. Quote: These two have no companions and may be spoken to! There were black puddles. Thick, dark, and oily, Cordoba moved about warily, making facs. It LOOKED vile - how had she missed those? She made a disgruntled noise of discontent, and moved to continue looking, trying to make sense of if she was alone or not before a flicker finally drove her to draw her discus in paranoia, frowning. She hated working solo. HATED. Quote: Cordoba is also solo and highly displeased.

Falias, Knight of Earth Location: Outside with Venice & Scholomance and heading towards the big tree Falias nodded at the Page (Venice) "I was heading that way myself" he admitted and then since they were heading in the same direction he added "And I'm Falias by the way - Falias of Earth."He reached out a hand to shove some grass out of his way as the sense - the feeling - of off-ness continued to press on his mind.
He hadn't gotten very far when he heard a voice call out from somewhere behind him, his head turning almost automatically in its direction.
The source however was familiar in that Falias had seen the Saturn Knight not that long ago at Olympus."Scholomance" he said quietly in acknowledgement before shaking his head at the other's questions "No I was just pulled here" Falias admitted, the name Ida not one he was familiar with. "I thought it was something to do with the Code at first..."And then green eyes widened as he caught sight of a puddle of some sort of sticky substance and one that he was just about to step in.
He stepped back and to the side, eyes eyeing the black sticky substance and noting a second such puddle up ahead."What is that thing?"Sleet Tempest Snape Wrote

Eternal Sailor Athene Location: Inside a room on the Second Floor and looking around for Elvira and Liryn It wasn't Athene's first time being suddenly pulled away to elsewhere, but it didn't make the sudden shift in surroundings any less startling - particularly as he had been outside in a park one moment and the next... And the next he was here in a place that was very much not outside. It was a room of some sort - or at least Athene was assuming it was some sort of room given that the room appeared to be dominated by something that looked very much like a bed, but it wasn't anywhere that looked familiar. And whilst the room was beautiful and something that kind of made him think of Lord of the Rings, there was also something that was 'off' about the place - something that made him feel uncomfortable. His first thought was to look around and try and see if he could spot Liryn and Elvira - because the two had been right with him before he had been pulled to wherever here was. Orangeish Sherbert dropping this post in here now as I have an early work start tomorrow - hope this works as an entry tag here

Hearing someone call for him and the Earth knight to wait he did so. Stopping where he stood he turned toward the figure jogging to reach them - Scholomance. He could remember the knight of Saturn, having helped a bit with the ring upgrade. To Falias he did respond, to the introduction. "Venice...of Ganymede." If the markings didn't give it away, though he was littered in the heart like marking. He knew some didn't know it, which was fine by him.
"Didn't know was Ida...just called here and wasn't Mars." He said shrugging a bit. He may have only been to Olympus but he was sure this wasn't Mars, no way this could be on that same hot planet. "Thought was Code also...but then here." He said motioning about them at all the green.
As she walked they came upon a black puddle of...tar or something, he wasn't sure just what.
Bending to inspect it he tilted his head. He really didn't want to touch it, it looked gross and he had a bad feeling about it - like some horror movie. "Don't know...don't like it. Doesn't fit in with surrounding." He said looking up at the two knights, dark eyes hesitant and suspicious as he stood slowly.

Chibi Sailor Oort Location: Outside with Chaldene and Tomlin Oort had been so glad to see Tomlin again that he had temporarily forgotten about the other senshi, although at the sound of the other's voice he had turned around to look up at the taller senshi (Chaldene)."I was only running because I caught sight of Tomlin" he said in part because Oort really had been running because he had spotted the ginger star cat and in part because he didn't really appreciate being scolded.
His expression had shifted from slightly annoyed to serious however when the older senshi had mentioned that other had also been called to this place...
Wherever this place was, although he was mentally dubbing it the tree and flower place for now."Okay" he said at the other's senshi's suggestion that they stick together. "I'm Oort and he's Tomlin" adding "Seems like we should check out that..." He had been about to agree that they should check out the tree but Oort's voice trailed off as he spotted a puddle nearby.
He took a few cautious steps towards it, frowning slightly and pointed at it as he asked "Was that there before?" Because he could see where the grass had been crushed from his earlier running, but Oort couldn't remember seeing the puddle with the sticky black stuff before.
He looked back at Tomlin and the other senshi to see what they made of the weird-looking puddle.xSleet Tempest Snape trying to get orp tags out now because I have an early start day tomorrow xLokisRose trying to get orp tags out now because I have an early start day tomorrow

Gorner, page of Castor. Heading for the second floor - outside.She had, in time, made her way to the massive tree and stood there now...unsure what to do. She wanted to do something - anything...but hadn't a clue really. Just standing there at what looked like the entrance to the tree...how odd that sounded in her head, it really did. She saw as a puddle of black seemed to form on the ground not too far from her. "What on Earth..." Although, thinking on it, this wasn't Earth - damn.
Moving slowly toward it, close enough to inspect but not step in it, she bent and took a sniff.
"Nothing..." But it looked like tar, so she had sort of been expecting such a smell to come from it. If not tar...then what? Being on another planet it really left a whole lot of unknown possibilities didn't it. Brushing her wet hair from her face, as a few strands of drying hair had decided to fall into her face, she stood back up and decided to head up, as she had noticed stairs up the outside of the tree.
"Second floor looks good..." Good vantage point to see things from also.

Eternal Chaldene, outside with Oort and Tomlin"Ah, I don't want you tripping on an unseen root or anything." With the high grasses it was possible, tall grasses could hide many things. Here the only risk was likely roots, maybe rocks, nothing like an animal that might sting or bite at you which was a good thing. His own wonder had a lot of plant life but it seemed, from what little he'd seen, to be all water growing reeds and such with trees off in the distance. He didn't know if they were growing from water and the silt and soil under it or if there was solid ground for them to grow from. He'd never gone off the water ways to investigate, not wanting to get lost and not find his way back to the paths.
"Whatever called us here...expect some fight. I was on Maia for a call like this...and it was a fight. You don't want to risk being hurt now." He advised gently. he didn't want to see the chibi hurt, especially here with a fight of some sort on the horizon in all likelihood.
He hadn't been called to Maia though, he didn't mention that, he had been part of the party to bring here there for the fight. But he understood what was happening, he'd talk to Lily when this was over and he was home. He wondered if he'd see her and her brother here, or the other sister - Rose. Would Dessie be here also? It was odd knowing that all the people who lived in the Jacob's home were powered and either a senshi or a knight. It also meant he got dragged for training by Maia, who was the most serious about things.
"Chaldene, it's good to meet you both." He would keep the two safe, or as safe as he could. His magic wasn't meant to attack with but it would help, it was meant to distract things.It would come in handy.
Looking at the puddle as it was mentioned he shook his head. "No....watch where you walk...but lets make for that tree. I don't trust that things are appearing like that...it's not likely a good sign..." Trailing off her let worried green eyes look around, as if some answer, or enemy, may just appear. Toying with his lip piercing more, it was a nervous habit of his, he turned and headed back for that massive tree. "With caution..."

Scholomance Knight: OutsideScholomance spared a glance to the tar, but made no attempts to touch it. Its blackness seeped up from the earth, reminding him somewhat of molasses, but he knew nothing of what it was or whether it was safe for human consumption. Previous knowledge of the place urged him to put faith in caution. „When I was a page, a very new page mind you, Ida took me to her planet. It was a homeworld tour of sorts, but even back then there hadn’t been something entirely, ah, wholesome about the planet. At the time, we reached a completely barren field, which as you can see, is fairly uncharacteristic of the place. Ida didn’t seem too pleased with it either.
„So whatever the case may be, I imagine the planet itself called us here. It wouldn’t make sense for Ida to do it in this way - she has a phone and plenty of opportunity to send out mass distress signals - so it has to be the planet. And, if there’s been something wrong with it for this long, then I expect it’s been festering to the point of being an infection it can’t fight off.
„Who knows what that is. Could be pure Chaos for all we’re aware. Watch your step.“ Scholomance himself suffered no sadness in having to avoid it - the man hated dirt and corruption in most mundane forms.
He knew not if the others had plans, but if they did, he wouldn’t mind splitting off to pursue the aims he had in mind. „We should find Ida. She’s dressed in a pinkish purple, with zebra striped leggings. Darker complexion, hair in a braid if memory serves. She should know what’s going on here, and why we’re supposed to step in and help.“ She’d be in the city, I’m guessing, since there’s nothing of value out here. She showed me something once - some kind of an orchid display in a gazebo? She didn’t look certain about it back then. Maybe that’s where she’d be.

Sailor Alpha LeporisAura was staring blankly at her homework when she heard the voice. It was strange, at first, the pull. She had never felt such a thing. It wasn't that she hadn't rather been doing anything but her class work. It was just that the girl had no experience at all being a senshi, much less this consuming push to be elsewhere. Well, she did kind of understand that in a way. She really hadn't wanted to be studying and would rather be anywhere else than stuck in her room above the shop in her family's apartment. She had failed her first exam, after all. But this must be more important. She could make out the words now and it clearly was a call for help. Aura's eyes burned with excitement as she grabbed her pen. That cat warned her not to let anyone see her transform, but she knew her sister was oblivious to the world when she was studying. Certainly, she could transform without notice... αSailor Beta LeporisWhat was this feeling? Imagi didn't know. But the force that was calling her clearly knew what it wanted even if the girl didn't. Imagi really wanted to analyze the call she was receiving more before she left her books and collections and studies. She wasn't like her sister, in the adjourning bedroom, with no burden of powers but all the will in the world. Rushing off wouldn't help anything, after all. What was she supposed to do without any knowledge or planning! Follow the source of the feeling. Perhaps she could be cautious still even if she did not know what she would face. She had already planned how to transform on her balcony so that her twin would not see the change. Imagi sighed. Everything about being a senshi was about feelings of evil and good and callings. It was all magic and she wasn't good at what she didn't know. But she did know that if she didn't answer the call, she would forever wonder.... ßErytheia of CosmosWhat a night! Alphonse was finally able to take one night off without worrying about prep school, or choosing a major or even being a knight. He had been worried so much about being Erytheia that he had almost forgotten how to be himself. After being pulled two times in the past month off planet, he could just watch the moon on the rooftop of his family's home without a care, even if it was just for a moment. And only a moment it was as the young man felt his presence being called to a distant planet for a third time... ✪The Tower"Come... Help..."... And so there were three people standing before the tower, all wondering how they had gotten there, neither one realizing where they were nor that they had come from the very same place. Three people who didn't recognize one another, but who should have had their auras not prevented it. Three people, each with a different power - two from twin stars and one from the Cosmos itself - none knowing why they were here but each, in their own way, knowing that they must come and they must help. Whimsical Blue I do wish that this is not too convoluted. This is my first time introducing three character at once. Let me know if I need to change anything. ~

Tomlin, Guardian Cat – Outside, with Chibi Oort and ChaldeneTomlin smelled the familiar scent before he heard the voice, and heard the voice before he could see the chibi senshi rushing towards him through the towering grass. This wasn’t the eerie caller that had summoned him here, but he was a very welcome sight. “Oort! Good to see you.” He moved closer to rub his head against his young friend’s leg in greeting. The cat’s posture and whiskers stiffened as a second figure appeared above the greenery, spouting far too many ‘don’t’s for the rebellious cat’s liking, but the aura was warm and strong. He nodded in greeting to the Eternal Senshi, happy for now to let Oort do all the talking. He had other things to pay attention to, like working out where they were, and why. Having the two senshi nearby should have reassured him, but instead their presence in his line-of-sight just highlighted the persistent feeling that there was something else, something just outside his vision - and sneaking up. His eyes darted about, trying to catch whatever it was, but he couldn’t pin it down, not with by its aura, its shadow or its scent. Worrying. Distracted, he almost failed to notice as the older senshi stooped to scoop him up. “You know I’m not an ordinary cat, right?” he complained as Chaldene lifted him. He’d wanted height, but on his own terms, not as a feline tote-bag. His tail swished in agitated motions, but he otherwise remained still – being lost in tall grass was not in his best interests. Especially when Oort pointed out the motor-oil puddle marring the sylvan landscape. He did not want to find out what that would do to his fur. With no safe ground to descend to, the Mauvian determined that Chaldene had nominated himself as perch. Wriggling, he attempted free himself enough to gently scale the senshi’s sleeve and collar, hoping for a shoulder to ride instead of just being luggage. “You’ll want your hands free,” he said by way of apology for any accidental scratches. “Trust me.” The view from above grass level was enlightening. “Good plan. Your tree has doors,” he observed. Sleet Tempest Snape I hope this is okay? I can edit if it’s not.

Meteora, Page of Cosmos - Outside TowerHow she had missed the male in red, Meteora didn't know...but she could guess it was because she had suddenly gone momma bear mode with Kai. Taking a long, deep breath, the woman turned a smile towards the senshi. "Sorry. I'm a bit jumpy with him like..." Her hand came up and motioned towards the crutches. "This Mars Knight doesn't seem to like to listen to his body when it says 'ow, no more'." That was when another female voice caused her to turn. Meteora wore a surprised oh face that shifted to a look of 'are you kidding me'? But it wasn't in a mean way as she looked over the page. "Okay...who do I have to pay off to cut my dress like yours?" The smile quickly replaced her playful face and she nodded. "Meteora, page of Cosmos. A pleasure Meru. But I am jealous you look like you have the ability to move a bit easier." It was Caia's voice that drew her back to the true matter at hand: how did they get there? It seemed like he was similar to her: thrown into this world and lost. She was just lucky she had a big lug to help her out. "I'm as lost as you are honestly...why are you sinking?" Meteora was about to comment about things no one had covered yet such as instant summoning when she realized Kai was suddenly shorter on one side. That was when she looked down and noticed the piles of black...goo? "Anyone have a pair of cosmos scissors?" The page sighed, hiking up her dress again. "Well, I have to suggest we move forward out of this tar patch." Glancing at the other two, Meru and Caia, she gave them both a pleading, soft look. "Would one of you mind walking in front of Kairatos just so he doesn't find the tar spots? I don't think any of us want to try carrying him..." She wasn't going to tell him to go home. Meteora knew well enough he would try to pace knowing others were fighting without him. So...next best thing in her mind.
