Action: Watching the Youma go to Work. Attacking: No one, not a soul. Have some cinnamon seasoning for your troubles..
Zultanite was, for once, pleasantly surprised. He might have, dare he think it, been in a good mood! The place wasn't on fire, or covered in acid, or sinking into a void. The only screams were those from within the Staff room and of course, the girl cloaked in an aura of order who was being slightly mauled on the floor--
Everything was maybe going smoothly for once! An outright miracle if ever he had seen one in his entire lifetime. So he damned well savored it, took his sweet time and languidly strolled after the singular form who was fighting for her life against a half starved beast. As she lay there calling out, he watched --- waited -- to see who would come running to her aid. He wondered if youma cared for seasoning at all? Scraped some extra cinnamon off his otherwise useless stick of a weapon and salt bae'd the girl with the dust of it from a distance, if nothing else it did give the room some zest! Made the smell less like an herbal essence hair commercial and walmart brand diffusing oils than it had five minutes previously.

Wow, does that look like a struggle. Zultanite feels for you.

OPEN TI INTERACTIONS! And to stand in the way of whoever wants to save her--
Posted: Sun Nov 05, 2023 11:18 pm
"Signs don't stop me, 'cause I can't ******** read them," Grieve's serious expression gave way to a grin when something finally jumped out to play. And oh, were they something indeed. Another ******** senshi, made up of broken holes, billowing fabric, and enough mesh and skin to be teasingly just shy of naked. Despite her continued insistence that the Earth-born looked boring, Grieve had to admit that this one was exciting to watch. To linger near and draw close.
He didn't even really need the ******** magic for it.
The softening of her heart, the welling fondness and pity. It was tempting to both indulge in the feelings and also to break their source. To lap at that neck, to tear and see if the blood slid down into the broken void of his chest or slid across it.
Another aura was suddenly present, an eternal and also chaos-broken.
Well, she wasn't here for a job, but Urania's presence made it a sort of responsibility. Decision made, Grieve closed the gap to hold the corrupted senshi, intending to simply lift him over her shoulder and carry him about til the ******** faded.
There was only so many people who could filter into a smaller room and by the time that Meissa had noticed that the staff only labelled door had been opened, at least five or six individuals had already crossed the threshold. So checking in on that room was nixed before she even really considered the option as an avenue to follow. Instead the bluenette spent a moment trying to collect herself. There was a tension in her shoulders that she didn't care for being in a situation in which there was essentially no control over. Anyone who had come into this building seemed to be sitting ducks.
It was perhaps a full thirty seconds to a minute after this thought went through her mind that Meissa found her attention drawn to the sounds of conflict coming from the room that had been infiltrated by those five or six individuals before she took note of a sudden commotion further down the hallway in which areas were curtained off for the customers to get their treatments and she scowled before hearing what sounded like someone was calling for help. Well, she wasn't doing any good just standing around doing nothing. Grabbing what seemed to be a left-behind clipboard that was just begging to be picked up did Meissa let her feet guide her in the direction that the cry for help had come from.
Oh,
Oh, that was a youma. Meissa remembered those creatures from way back when and she watched as a fellow senshi was grappling with one that had her pinned and she reacted on instinct. The clipboard was thrown with force at the creature that was trying to make mincemeat of the downed senshi and Meissa also made note of someone that just seemed to be watching the commotion off to the side. "Hey," was shouted in the stranger's direction before Meissa ran full tilt towards the chaos-tinged individual ... hoping to at least even some odds up.
Action:Let The Bodies--- Attacking: What's new pussycat?
Zultanite watched with lidded gaze and a low distasteful whistle as the youma took a clipboard to the dome; the multi-use office accoutrement made a far more impressive weapon than a ******** cinnamon stick, apparently. The shame of it all was how this girl stepping in-- Senshi? Mau? Something other? She *felt* like a Senshi in all the gloom and with only seconds to gauge all the auras crashing in. Though nowadays he was slow to judge that sort of thing! Zultanite would never cease to marvel at how Order birthed up new and improved ways to try and screw in the same damn lightbulb they'd been grasping at for the last ********.
Never did they seem to get a taller ladder to stand on, only more extravagant custodians from even more distant corners of the stars.
Regardless, the new oncoming flurry of spots, stripes, and leather-wear was utterly ruining the only other show in the works he thought worth seeing right now, the one with a little less conversation and a little more bloody-minded action. Even as he moved to brace himself for her next step, he realized she was ******** on him. Impact was imminent. If someone yelled timber in the distance it would've been comical as it was timely for how unable he was to react fast enough just then---
"Su--" he didn't get to finish the monosyllabic greeting before the force of her impact putting him into the fake marble floor took the wind right out of him. His height left him feeling more like a tree taking on a battle-axe than a man taking on a girl with cat-ears and pigtails. He tried to rub his cinnamon coated gloves all over her face -- the stick long since dropped -- a useless thing to begin with -- he could only hope she cried enough cinnamon soaked tears to go blind while he flailed for his next breath of air.
Action: A Shouldered Soldier! A DAMSLE IN DISTRESS! S.O.S! Attacking: Recasting the Dome a Second Time! *The dome is slowly on the move!*
'This b***h---'
Mirabilite had never minded attention before. In fact? He liked it quite an awful lot. No, 'like' was too paltry a word. He liked a lot of things, grape juice, fresh bread, the scent of raw shea butter when it was warm. This? Attention. He loved it. If he was ever as honest with his so vain it was purple ego as he wanted to be just then. There was something about wearing velvet dresses and lengthy nails by night; trinkets paid for by doing menial labor, tressing up highlights for the mistresses of the bourgeoisie, playing black market gossip monger with the actual wives of the house about the pool boys of the house next door (because some preferred to see those harsher truths paid away!)
But never before in his life had he looked into another persons eyes and felt the utter ******** that was the gut-wrenching fear of being hungered for in ways that promised dying! Or something more? It was impossible to discern beyond the widening smile and words in a language he didn't know. He swallowed for the thrill of it, the confusion that followed as he really took in the shape of who he'd decided to run up on. The perfect grin, yellow skin, blue lengths of hair. The Senshi in the dark who'd looked like an easy mark was starting to look a lot less easy now---a lot less human too--That he'd ******** around and found a being untameably ancient and nameless all at once. With eyes that dark enough to swallow the sky -- and all his pretty glittery bullshit too!
'This terrifying b***h in boots ******** suddenly he had no ground to stand on, because he'd failed to think that far ahead, to apply tactics along with his volatile resolve! His goal had been to occupy the doorway with all the attention grabbing glare of a boradway show on acid. In that he'd felt he'd succeeded!!
"If you mess up any single shining part of me----I swear, I will gut you with these hee--yeeeey!!"
What Mirabilite hadn't planned for was the glaringly obvious weakness in his magics capabilities! That weakness being he, himself, the problem who was he. The fact that he weighed a buck'thirtyfive soaking wet and was about as easy to throw around as a few stacks of flour perched on some very sexy stilts. He shuddered as he found himself shouldered, magic all aglow, and on the ******** move.
His new position was Grieve, and he was scrabbling for a better purchase while trying to hold enough concentration to cast the magic again -- as if it'd do something different this time.
Please let it do something different this time!!
*It Did Not Do Anything Different The Next Time*
Save leave him with far less energy than before---
Sailor Scout Attack: Stay with Me!
Mirabilite utters a heartfelt plea, and sheds a single crystalline tear. The tear shatters upon hitting the ground - sending up a mire of iridescent sparkles that seem to coalesce and condense in the air around him. Almost like a glittering dome of static.
AOE: 10 foot radius Number of Targets: Only those within the dome. Number of uses: 3 1! Duration: 20 seconds Effect: All who are caught within the sphere are compelled to stay within it. Mirabilite's heartfelt plea and tears are meant to endear and focus them on him. An easy target, a helpless innocent. People are open to attack - but why would they? It's a harmless request to hang back for a moment...
Should any opponents overcome the magic that makes them feel endeared towards Mirabilite and choose to attack him, they will take half the damage of their attack. This works for both magical and physical attacks. Similarly, if Mirabilite attacks them, he will take half the damage himself as well.
Mirabilite cannot leave the sphere, but anyone else can go in and out of it; the magic will compel anyone within the dome to stay with him, and anyone who attempts to leave the dome will feel like they are trudging through molasses until they break free. Because the attack can be seen, those outside it can avoid stepping into it.The dome does not act as a shield, but if anyone outside the dome attacks someone inside with physical or magical damage, the damage will be split evenly among everyone inside the dome.

Nice biceps! Do you lift people often!?
Quote:
THE DOME IS ON THE ROAM! Anyone who feels like getting stuck in the magics zone! Don't worry about do-ing or don't-ing with the radius too much, it's all meant to be fun! Feel free to break free and into that staff room or go on n fight in the glitter dome!

Celadon Page
Celadon nodded to Erytheia's instructions. She was glad to know someone else by name, even if they were only together on this for but a moment.
"Okay," she decided. "I'll follow you."
Erytheia was first to leave, and Celadon started afterward, but a multitude of dark-looking senshi with impossibly long hair burst onto the scene. This one — she wasn't sure if he cast any magic or not, but he must have, for a sphere formed around him that had caught her in the area. It was then that she hesitated, uncertain if she should truly follow Erytheia past them and into the staff rooms. He had said to stay —
But another senshi, the one that was talking about destruction, engaged him and the sphere moved off of her when it rematerialized to another location. It was then that her choice seemed quite clear, and she wondered why she ever doubted it before. Erytheia said to go to the staff room, and she had no reason to stay behind.
Especially now that more of the Negaverse was beginning to arrive. Taking the narrow opportunity, Celadon darted for the door.
Things escalated quickly, there was enough chaos going on for her to step out from behind the curtain. The senshi who had moved past her was in a bit of trouble though so that would be the best thing to fix first. Even if she really wanted to go for the one that was already down on the ground.
Walking forward, she didn't need to rush with how everyone was pushed up against the staff room ahead. "Hey b***h, drop the ******** bubble boy!" With that, she willed her monster out and smiled. Things were getting fun and at least some backup was arriving here for if things went south. If she could manage to get a few of her allies out of trouble that would surely look good to her general.
Either way, as the fog rolled out from her, she was happy to see her dullahan lurking towards its target. If it could make the senshi drop him, then she could get a few swings in.
lizbot
Dullahan grapple attempt
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Beatrix's Embrace A dark fog radiates out from Beatrix, a shadowy figure appears behind the enemy and whispers something before wrapping them in its cold body. They can clearly see the armor and fact that the figure is headless. It disappears with a laugh as the magic fades. Radius is 8 feet. Effect and illusion lasts for 25 seconds and can be used twice per battle
Grieve moved away from the fray, wanting to get the corrupted senshi out of the way, and maybe give herself a moment or three to toy with something beautiful. There was something particularly satisfying, all those shining bits of him, coated in the invisible filth of chaos. She wanted to leave her fingerprints across lovely skin and disgusting aura both.
At the second cast of magic, firming up the desire to stay with him even as he squirmed more for stability and comfort than escape, Grieve laughed.
She had a laugh like a bad day, a series of small tragedies, unavoidable and not nearly done with you yet.
"Careful. You'll leave yourself too tired for later." Her hand kneaded at that whip-thin waist, wondering what sort of mess would cause real tears, would crack another hole in flesh made magic and strange.
But the moment was over and rescue had appeared, another broken doll, another cast of magic. Fog filled the air, and a cold presence approached. Her shoulders shifted with a tide of violence yet to occur, and she sighed, "We'll meet again, and you can try to gut me." And then Mirabilite was being thrown with force at the green-haired fogwench.
Her eyes emptied into a freezing match for the cold embrace that crept around her. A whisper of dread hunger and dead worlds left a chilling trail along the back of her neck. Still, Grieve was smiling when she spoke, "You should run."

Antares needed some leverage, her hands were busy keeping the jaws of the creature off of her so she needed just a bit more... oomph to get jam her heel into it to force it off. Sadly that was not to be as the approach of boots had her glancing over just as a officer, because there was no way it wasn't an officer, sprinkled something over her.
"The hell," She spluttered even as she did her best to just shove the creature pinning her down off. The blonde senshi had no clue what she had just been dusted with, it smelled kind of like baked goods but who the hell carried baked goods into a trap? Like seriously? She didn't really get a chance to react much beyond that before a projectile slammed into the youma full force. That was just enough distraction for Antares to put her foot into the creatures under carriage and flip it off of her.
"Scorpion Swarm," The senshi hissed out even as she claimed the previously thrown clipboard as her own. Her ghostly scorpions heading for both the youma and the little officer who thought a little spice would sweeten her up.
(Scorpion Swarm
When the attack is called out three ghostly scorpions around the size of a ferret appears and advances upon the attended target. The scorpions can be touched, swatted, hit, and stepped on but it is not recommended since they are able to sting through clothes and armor alike. When one stings, it's target they lose all feeling in that particular limb... as if their limb is still asleep and has yet to wake up. They can still use it but they can't feel it at all. This affect lasts 30 seconds, any residual effects are up to the target if there is any at all.
The scorpions can be dodged and after 7 feet they disappear and they can only manifest for 30 seconds at a time. They do not travel in a straight line, rather they will head to anything moving so it could be tricked. The length of the scorpion and the length of the effects of the attack are separate, if you are stung in the beginning you have just as long as someone stung right before the scorpion disappears.
This attack can be used up to a maximum of three times in a battle. When the nine scorpions have been used no more can manifest until later. Using all available scorpions drains Antares severely.)
Shiningamisgirl
.... at least it isn't a sandwich?
tefla
Antares appreciates the help! Have some magical assistance as well!
Oh. There was someone coming in behind her. He was talking to her. She turned to look at him, blue eyes blinking. Not everyone else here looked like they were right out of a pastel fairy tale, the way that she and her cousins did.
This one looked like he was more steampunk, or was it Victorian gothic? That was what you called that era when it didn't have the tiny clockwork robots, and the airships, and the time travel, wasn't it? She had to say that she liked it more when it had the airships and the fantasy element, and she liked fairy tales even more than she liked that, but this guy seemed nice, and he was talking to her when she didn't know what was going on, and that meant a lot more than whatever genre he had come out of.
"Um. Yes!" she told him, like she knew what she was talking about, only then she added, "Is it a bad time to ask what a senshi is?"
Oh. Monsters!
"It is, isn't it?"
That was okay. She could just stay next to him, and hope he knew what he was doing.
The monsters had monster handlers, too, which also felt cold and bad. She remembered Lisse telling her about them, but she didn't focus on them, not for the moment.
A slime monster was getting close to her and her friend, and she poked at it with her spoon. It did not turn into dust.
Eternal Sailor Mira was so happy to meet everyone and somehow in between all the meetings she dazed out. When she got out of her daze somehow there was now a ton more people here. Not only that but she could feel negaverse signatures. With that in mind she knew she needed to act - and quickly! She looked around for a target and saw the youma. "Here let me help! Sweet Tooth Love go!" she yelled. Mira quickly winked and blew a kiss towards the youma. As this happens the sugar kiss shape from both the wink and her kiss combined together, making this attack become one large amount of sugar in the shape of a kiss. This sugar shape quickly headed towards the youma.
if successful the person it is aimed at, will receive sweet sensations flowing randomly throughout all of their body and will temporally paralyze them due to the massive amount of sweetness they had felt. This attack will last for a amount of 30 seconds. This attack can be done once per match. Distance travel possible is 16 ft.
Extra note about attacks: The downside to all of these attacks is - sometimes they will fail her, and instead of heading towards her opponent they will either fall to the ground leaving a sugar dust on the ground below them. Or they will head towards her comrades instead of the intended target.
Super Sailor Osiris was excited to finally be doing something other than school. Even if the time between everything seemed to fly by insanely fast. It took him a moment to catch up. He wasn't really sure where they needed his help, but he knew he had to bring some justice. That was when he noticed a smile looking monster heading for some people. He wasn't sure of their names but it looked like it was getting to close for comfort. So he figured he should lend a hand. As he looked towards the monster he wasn't quite sure if his attack would do anything, but he waned to try.
So he said "Here let me help you! Legitimacy Locks go!" when he said that some orange light shot out in the shape of pair of hand and leg shackles about 2-4 inches thick. Maybe if he could lock them down it would make it easier to attack. Plus it would give them some time to put some distance betwen.
Once the orange light is visible he quickly aims it toward his opponent and will wrap it around their ankles and wrist in a tight bind-like grip. This attack will last for 25 seconds at most. A special side of this attack is that it will only work on characters/monsters with a chaotic aura about them.
stari_maga
He wanted to help even if it was a slime based monster. lol.

Bellalunae couldn't believe she was here on her day off. Ye here she was entering a room full of order, negaverse, monsters, and youma. It was like right out of one of the books she wrote. They all seemed to be pretty busy too. She wasn't sure exactly what she could do, but she figured she could lend a paw or two. As she pranced around the room looking for her own opponent. She was hoping there was at least one order cat around, but somehow she couldn't seem to find any other cats. "Here Kitty Kitty," she said under her breath in a taunting manner. With her luck maybe someone could answer her call for a battle. She was determined to prove her worth and find an opponent, so she was willing to take the initiative and call out for an opponent. She knew that if she was bold enough, someone would answer her call and she could finally help her side a bit. Or well at least try too.
Corrupt Sailor Makio hadn't been out in a bit, but she heard there was a fight going down. She figured why not join in? It wasn't her favorite thing being in a tight space like this, but if she could get a workout in. Well why not make it work?
With a smirk she looked around the room for anyone she could potentially fight with. She needed to get all this built of rage from her day job worked out somehow. The order just seemed like a great way to do it. "Well well looks like I found a party," she said her smirk only growing larger. "You know I feel like I should liven it up a bit!"
With that she swirls her hands around her head twice, a tacky orb of petroleum bubbles in between her palms. She threw it in the direction she saw some order members. She didn't have a precise target, but she figured maybe she'd get lucky and hit something. If not she could always call some more toxic petrolium orbs. She was feeling confident now. She knew it was only a matter of time before she got the results she wanted. She was sure she would be pleased with the results.
If it hits it clings to someone uncomfortably so they can't get it off and toxic fumes, that can make someone feel dizzy if they inhale, attack them. the whole time they have these noxious fumes coming off of it. The affects of the fumes fade as the orb does.
Lasts for about 20 seconds, has three uses, and affects enemies within 10 ft.
Kaifeng, Squire of Saturn Action: he sees the spooky fog and raises Bea some spooky ghosts (which are now grabbing at youma and people alike)! also, teaching Almere about senshi
It was, indeed, a bad time for the Page in the cute blue dress to ask what a senshi was. Little youma crawled out from all over the place, swarming down upon the senshi and knights who’d gathered up here. Somebody in a very sparkly bodysuit (Mirabilite) kept asking for companionship. Fog rolled in, summoned by someone else in a very cute, strappy Halloween-looking outfit (Beatrix). Chaos was running rampant.
But there was still time for a teaching moment. The new Page had to learn this stuff sooner or later. Couldn’t have her making herself look ignorant around people who’d judge her about it. She looked young enough to still be dealing with way too much of that at school.
“Senshi are the ones without the weapons,” Kaifeng explained, rushing in to swipe the fan on his bat at the youma that Almere had engaged with. “They’re chosen guardians of different moons, planets, stars, asteroids, stuff like that.” Quickly spinning his bamboo bat around once more, he whacked at another youma—a rather unfortunate-looking one that seemed like two oversized salamanders had gotten fused together. It dusted quickly and almost seemed grateful for that. “Knights like us? We get our power from our magic wonders. Senshi get it from their planets and moons. Or the ones with the cracks in the chest and forehead?”
Kaifeng didn’t think—not until he’d already lifted his bat to point it at the Nega-senshi in the very strappy Halloween outfit—that maybe, pointing her out would come off as a challenge, rather than as……gesturing to her so Almere would know what he was talking about.
“They get their power from the Negaverse, instead of their planets,” he said, then took a deep breath to focus.
He’d accidentally called the strappy Halloween outfit senshi out, and now, Kaifeng had to back that up, lest she think she’d be allowed to come over and bully his new little friend. “Sorry in advance,” he whispered to Almere. “This looks scarier than it really is.”
With that, he swung his bat at the empty air, cleared his mind, and focused…… Focused on calling up the power of his wonder—and all the dead who’d made it their final resting place. As the familiar, ghostly hands sprang up from the ground, ripping through youma, Kaifeng smiled and made a mental note to work extra hard on cleaning the place up, next time he went up to his wonder (and to see if Huan-ge was ready to come, too).
Quote:
Squire Magic: Ghostly shades claw their way out of the ground within a six-foot radius of Kāifēng. Anyone within a six-foot radius—including allies and Kāifēng himself—will feel a sense of recognition, like they should know who these dead people are, but the shades appear too mangled by death and decay to be recognizable as any particular person. The shades will attack anyone in the six-foot radius but Kāifēng, including allies, but being incorporeal, they do no physical damage. For the duration of his channeling, anyone hit by one of his shades will feel deathly chills and a heavy feeling of being watched. The chills stop as soon as he stops channeling; any lingering emotional effects (from the magic or seeing the shades) are up to individual players! Kāifēng can channel his magic for up to 30 seconds at this stage.

Grisly ghouls from every tomb are closing in to seal your doom~! Or just……to be unsettling, smash up youma, make you feel like you're being watched, etc.

Kaifeng's only had Almere for a few minutes, but if anything happened to her……etc.

If not for the Negaverse thing, Kaifeng would appreciate your Halloween vibes very much, Bea!

Mirabilite has been Noticed!
lizbot
Proximity? Proximity! This new Kaifeng smiles more than the old one
Bubble boy (Mirabilite) hit her like a truck but she'd been half expecting it so she didn't end up falling over. "Thanks b***h!" Making sure the other senshi was okay she left them to step forward to still take some swings. If she needed to, she had a few starseeds in her subspace to give her a bit of an edge if she needed it. There were plenty of opportunities to try restocking her supply if things went well.
She threw off the labcoat at this point since there wasn't really a reason to hide what she was and she could use the added range of motion without it. Hearing a knight (Kaifeng) call her out and playing teacher was really obnoxious. Like if they had time to explain things they had time to actually fight what was the <********> point? "Hey, wanna fight dickbag? I've got more than one way to ******** you up." Even if she couldn't quite make out what flavor of knight they were, she still wanted to get her hands in their chest and try to get their starseed. She had a bingo board she intended to fill one day.
Beatrix only got a few steps before she saw the shades crawling out of the ground. The only thing she could think was how she could vibe with this before one of them touched her. Reaching up, she tried to caress the decayed face of someone she thought she could remember before the chills set in. Is this how it feels when my monster touches someone? Shaking the thoughts away she kept on running forward to swing at the knight, she'd have to put on a good show for those watching her.

Crisium, Page of the Moon Action: Hiding under a bed and hoping the youma looking at him will just. Ignore him.
Crisium was panicking.
His mother had signed him up for this sleep study, hoping for... what, exactly? Figure out why he was so exhausted all the time? Why he was always anxious (trauma, mother, trauma) and why he kept fidgeting ( it's the 'tism, mother)? She probably also donated money to the study's scientists. The intentions were probably good and fine and just with her son's wellbeing at heart. He did believe she cared about him, even if she kept putting him in situations that made his anxiety spike through the sky.
He was sure she wouldn't have signed him up if she'd known he'd be trapped with monsters.
Probably.
Then again...
He hid under the bed, pressed against the wall and tried to keep himself as small and as quiet as possible. When things had gone south, he'd hid and powered up, because being Crisium at least gave him a level of durability that being 'Zeke' did not. It wasn't exactly very... heroic, but there was a lot going on alright! It was a a lot!
And now there was a youma. With it's head under the bed.
Staring at him like he was food.
His scrying crystal was absolutely useless here, and if he moved to try to kick or something, he'd surely be discovered by the rest of the enemies in the building.
But the youma wouldn't go away either.
Some page he was! Where was his courage now!
Quote:
Crisium is open for interaction! There is a youma trying to wiggle under the bed he's currently hiding under to try to eat him if anyone notices!
