Character Name: Sailor Monch of Popcorn!Action: chit chattin while following, making friends, not listening at all to important information This world was like, so super pretty. It really belonged in some part of an epic fantasy movie. No, a series, because they'd need more than one film to justify the cost of these sets! And as wide as her eyes were for the palace. that were just as impressed and stunned by the senshi's claim. " Emperor? You knew and punched an emperor?!" Monch looked at him like he'd grown two feet taller, and he was already pretty tall! - and gained an extra set of arms that were carrying one ton barbells. "WOW! You must be really important....and strong!" She pumped her fist and looked ready to initiate a high-five when she heard her name called and Blarney ran over. it was great to see another familiar-familiar face in the crowd. Like, there were a bunch of people she'd seen on the moon, and got to see be amazing while she was dead on that starry battlefield, but that didn't mean she knew much about any of them. Something she'd have to change, and soon! "Hi! Yeah this is like...super exciting!! And there's no giant snakes to kill me, around! AND!!" She looked extra hype and then swept a big, presentation bow toward the alien senshi, " He's fought emperors! So like, I found us a super strong new friend!" Turning to Bacchus, she gave him a big thumb's up. "This is my pal, Blarney! He's like, a cheer champ! So we're totally gonna be rooting for you! On a competitive sports level! And I'm Monch! I bring the popcorn!" The sights surrounding them just got cooler and cooler, even the doors were amazing! And, Tempesti's magic when opening them! Goodness. Hands fluttering excitedly in front of her mouth, Monch gasped as the doors opened to reveal a magical lake scene. "Are all worlds like this?"

Character Name: Lisse, Knight of LysitheaAction: Showing up, greeting his brother, confused about snacks Lisse didn’t normally get himself into situations much anymore, but he was going to go on a patrol with Halle tonight and he had been waiting at their meeting spot, with no luck when there was this niggling…feeling. And finally, he seemed to listen to it, and then…
Well.
Situation.
There was a large group of people, and he saw the bright color of Halle’s outfit and heard his…name?
He paused and moved closer, frowning at the back of the dark clad beauty Knight.
“Um…hi, no I didn’t bring any snacks? I was supposed to be going on patrol and I guess I thought too hard or something…hey Dering!”
He broke into a smile and gave a little wave at his friend, and to Halle. “...You didn’t show up, but I guess this answers that question. What’s going on?”

Character Name: Sailor Vilenius, DSS of Melancholy
Action: Following towards the back of the group ; squinting at everything; math lady meme
Vilenius wasn’t sure how he got here. It wasn’t so much the same as when he left his homeworld and came to Earth, though in both instances he had felt a tug and he tugged back. When he arrived on Earth, it had been out of desperation. When he arrived on Tempesti it had been out of–
Well, he was still trying to figure that out. He’d heard the request for aid but why had he accepted it? He didn’t like doing these things. Being on other worlds, where the potential of being trapped, felt like more trouble than it was worth? No, thank you.
But, he was here, and he couldn’t stop looking at everything. If you could consider the scrutinizing looks he gave everything and everyone. Maybe his eyes were just still too sensitive. Maybe he needed glasses.
Either way, Villenius trailed after them, in need of another haircut. Or a braid. He was tempted to gather his hair into his arms so it didn’t brush against the back of his knees with each step, but full arms seemed counter productive when there was danger to worry about. He didn’t really know anyone here, not in a meaningful way, and he wasn’t the best at making new friends so he didn’t really bother.
He was all teeth and snarls and glares. He might have been able to sneak away without anyone noticing, but how awkward it might be if they thought he’d gotten lost on her world and died? Begrudgingly, he simply followed.
The building was pretty enough–but the city must have been too. He’d have liked to explore that, maybe. Just to see. Away from the trouble, away from the danger. He paused, trailing further behind the group.
Well–maybe he could. Who would even notice? He could just slip away, who would even know?

Character Name: Sessrumnir, Knight of JupiterAction: Standing with Alastor and Solaris, surveying the grotto and tower Sessrumnir slowed as the bronze doors creaked open, taking in the sight of the grotto with a long exhale. The glow of the insects, the gleam of the water, the ancient tower -- it was impressive, but his eyes found the patrolling constructs first. He didn’t tense, but the shift in his stance was that of subtle preparation.
Beside him, Alastor spoke with that easy confidence that Sessrumnir loved, although he shook his head, his lips twitching slightly with amusement.
“I wasn’t questioning you,” he said low enough for Alastor to hear, with a glance in his direction that he hoped held quiet reassurance for him. “If anyone’s ready for this, it’s you. When I said practice run, I meant for me.” His tone might have been slightly self-depreciating, but the sincerity in his eyes all but confirmed that he trusted Alastor fully.
For the moment, he let his gaze travel to the bridge and constructs again, weighing the situation.
“Not much use thinking about the cities yet,” he huffed after a beat. “But this’ll give me a chance to test my stamina, probably. See where I need to sharpen up before we get there. I’d rather learn the hard lessons here than on Alastor.” After all, Alastor knew best how dangerous it could be. Especially when hundreds of years had things shifting. Although it was interesting to hear that Arista seemed unchanged from his memories of a lifetime ago.
He gave Solaris a small nod as she joined them, his expression easing a little. “Glad you’re here,” he said, and for a moment, the tension in his shoulders seemed lighter.
Then, from across the chamber, Poe and Paradise’s voices carried, bright and cheerful. Sessrumnir let out an exasperated breath of a laugh and shook his head. “If the constructs didn’t know we were here before, they do now,” he muttered, but the fondness in his voice suggested he wasn’t really complaining. Character Name: Lucien - Cat FormAction: Perched on Alastor’s shoulder, observing the grotto and constructs Lucien’s tail flicked once as the grotto came into view, his teal eyes narrowing on the constructs patrolling the tower’s base. He leaned forward slightly, claws flexing against Alastor’s collar, but never sinking deep enough to break skin.
“Curious designs,” he remarked, voice cool but there was a clear curiosity there. “Crude in some ways, but the craftsmanship has endured far longer than most civilizations. I would dearly like to see the mechanism at their cores -- although, not at the expense of your safety.”
His ears twitched toward Tempesti, then back to the constructs.
“Power sources in their chests… seams at their joints. Useful information. The question is how many of us will be needed for them to fall.”
He straightened, puffing his chest again, projecting the same calm authority as before.
“You will not face them alone this time,” he said firmly toward Tempesti. “We will see you through to the tower.”
A glance down at Alastor, then Sessrumnir, then Solaris, his head having shifted slightly against her hand when she scratched behind his ear, but didn’t make any other comment about it.
“Stay close to one another,” he said, his voice softening just slightly. “That bridge is not the place to lose each other.” His tail swished once more, betraying the tension he otherwise kept hidden in his posture.

Character Name: Eternal Sailor Oberon of AdventureAction: Sticking close to Oort. “Chocolate chip, huh?” Oberon gave a low whistle and shook his head, but there was amusement in his eyes. “Guess I can’t even be mad about that one. Just means you owe me next time.”
He fell into pace easily beside Oort, his shoulder brushing against his friend’s like it had so any times over the years. The mention of unfriendly constructs earned a small huff of laughter.
“That’s one way to put it. Personally, I was hoping for less murder, more sightseeing. But I guess we never get it that easy, do we?”
As Tempesti’s magic flared and the massive doors opened, Oberon’s gaze lifted past the chamber into the unexpected lake and gleaming tower beyond. His teasing faded into something quieter, more thoughtful, although his voice carried the same steadiness that it always did.
“Well. Whatever waits in there, at least we’ve got the right people for it,” he said with a glance at Oort and a faint, half grin. “And hey… if nothing else, I’ll make sure you live so we can get some cookies to share.”

Character Name: Dering, Knight of Lysithea
Action: Wallflowering, waving politely to Lisse and Halle
Dering had just stood up a little straighter when Halle approached, but when Reims called him Lisse, he squinted just slightly in confusion. He looked from Reims, to Halle, and between the two once more. He meant to lean in to whisper to Reims that the Knight in front of them was not Lisse when Lisse suddenly appeared.
Half turning, Dering blinked like he needed a second to register that they hadn’t just imagined Lisse into existence.
Dering raised one hand to wave a greeting first to Lisse, and then to Halle next to him, since that seemed polite. If anyone didn’t know his name, Lisse had spared him the introduction.

Character Name: Sailor Kemi, DSS of DeceptionAction: Wondering at the change from Order, freezing at the sight of an old...acquaintance There had been…several of these strange…tickles. Pulls. Kemi hadn’t given them much thought before, but now? Now she was…listening. So to speak. And in that listening, she had been brought up…well. She assumed that this was someone’s homeworld…and there were a lot of others who must have been listening too.
Huh. Were they all here to offer assistance?
It was…comforting. Reassuring. Strange that they were…going to work together. That things had changed so much…evolved so much that…people were working together to help out one another…How many of these events had she missed by being blind to them? By being so focused on herself…granted, on making and meeting friends, allies but…this was more than that…and she had been called all the same. Truthfully, there was nobody here that she recognized, and that made everything so much more strange…
Letting out a sigh she began to follow the group, looking around and then.
Oh.
…Oh
There was someone that she recognized. Not from her friend gathering in the recent few years but…from before.
From before her normal before…
It felt as though cold were creeping up Kemi’s spine as she stared at the long white hair and pale skin of the Senshi of Vilenius. Oh.
And of course, it wasn’t some new form. That was the same…it was absolutely the same one she had met all those centuries ago. The one she…well.
A failure, if ever there was one…but. It looked as though he were still alive and well…it should make her feel better but instead…
The ice in her veins felt as though it were going to freeze her where she stood, and she simply stared, unheeding of any instructions. Nothing else existed in this moment. It was. The epitome of discomfort..

Character Name: Halle Knight of LysitheaAction: interesting introductions and listening to Tempesti With increasingly bemusement, from the sharp, almost accusatory attitude he was greeted with to the crux of the issue being snacks, there was no part of the Ganymede Knight's reaction that wasn't both startling and a little funny. Particularly when he started edging toward the blonde like he might hide behind the much more delicate looking boy. Was his brother really such a menace? And in fact this wasn't the first time... Halle's expression turned thoughtful but then Lisse was there, no fearsome snacks in hand. As the blonde, Dering, awkwardly waved, he offered a little wave back with a smile that at least wasn't outright laughter. With a wink, he introduced himself more personally, "I'm Halle, the smart twin." While he took in the expressions of the other three made at that, particularly the Ganymede Knight's, he also kept at least part of his attention on Tempesti. Flying constructs with projectiles seemed a place where his magic would prove helpful. So, keep his eyes up, then? And an internal energy source, panels that could provide weakness, or at least used to expose such. As they walked, he kept a little ahead of Lisse, eyes finally taking in more of their surroundings. The relative confidence and easiness from earlier turning more cautious and alert with his brother present.

Character Name: Sailor BacchusAction: Responding to Mönch, following Tempesti Bacchus laughed at Mönch’s response to his anecdote. It was definitely better without all of the mess that came with it, and frankly the look on the [redacted to preserve PG-13 rating]’s face when he realized that his status couldn’t protect him from the consequences of his stupidity. That it had been Bacchus’ own status that prevented his execution for delivering that bit of justice was irrelevant. “I was important,” he decided to omit the fact that he had been strong. Before Chaos sapped made it so that he was going through yet another magical adolescence. With all of the awkwardness and unfortunate misfires of biological adolescence. It hadn’t been enough to deal with it as a chibi, it was just insulting that he had to deal with it again as a grown man. “That’s why he wasn’t able to kill me for it. I know he wanted to.” Bacchus smirked slightly at the memory, “He banished me and everything but if he’d left my idiot brother alone I wouldn’t have had to shut his mouth.” A soft, mirthless laugh escaped him before he turned his attention to the knight (Blarney). He wasn’t entirely sure what a “cheer champ” was but the boy seemed enthusiastic. It probably had something to do with that. “Good to meet you. Sailor Bacchus, by the way. Senshi of revelry, formerly Crown Prince of the Tuath.” He swept his arm out as he lowered his head in a dramatic bow. “My world isn’t. The deadly fungus is in season and I wouldn’t recommend paying it a visit.” The levity of his tone belied the implications of his statement. “Earth’s an upgrade.” He flashed a winning and what he hoped was convincing smile before crossing the threshold. It wasn’t lost on him that the door needed Tempesti’s magic to open. Another thing that waste of feathers lied about. He snorted softly, rolling his shoulders as he prepared to see whether or not he could disorient an automaton.

Character Name: [x] Niflhel Knight of Saturn Action: Following Tempesti to the Primodial Tower Niflhel sighed softly as he still took in the surroundings and when Tempesti moved he followed listening. He heard mention of trapping the constructs and seemed thoughtful he could probably use his meteor hammer to help control them some. He thought depending on how delicate they were.
However, he needed to see them before making such an offer as he listened to Tempesti answer Solaris, speaking about the constructs look like stained glass but she thought they were a type of Crystal had Niflhel unsure if he could handle them delicately enough with his meteor hammer.
There was also some sort of power source in their chest huh? But she had to use magic to disable them. It sounded complicated indeed and no wonder she needed help getting them under control if she wanted to attempt to keep them in one piece but she did mention they were more important which had the knight nodding softly.
It honestly wouldn't be the first time he'd put himself into danger if came to trying to distract a beastie. He was looking at the mosaics as they walked continuing to stay quite for now. When they reached the entryway that Tempesti stopped at he gazed at the long-haired harpy taking an interest in how the light danced around.
And when the door opened after mechanisms let off a song of opening, he saw the large grotto which was very interesting. The plants and insects were interesting in of themselves, he needed to go to his wonder and see if he'd missed something important or somethings that were important.
When Tempesti stopped to say they were here, he stopped short of the mouth of the bridge and took in their current situation curious of how best to handle what they were up against. He nodded softly so it was to be a battle then.Character Name: [x] Cardinal, Senshi of the Uktena Action: Looking for anyone she knows, following Tempesti Cardinal wasn't sure what she expected, but this wasn't it. She was in awe of the whole homeworld and though she was listening to Tempesti talk about how she was reckless and needing healing skills. Perhaps trapping these construct things she was talking about.
As she followed she was gazing over what everything looked like. Apparently the things they were here to fight were made of some sort of crystal that mimicked stained glass? Well that was cool. She tilted her head as there was a mention of a core and weak points that might be seams. Cardinal made note of the wanting to keep them in one piece but safety was key. There was a nod and then a curious note also about the flying ones seemed to have a weakness at their wings and some construct things had darts that they fired.
Yeah that sounded like a lot to dodge and fight. Cardinal thought a small army would be very useful at this point with the information she was hearing. They'd ascended the left staircases and found a door that seemed honestly intimidating, the fact that Tempesti was able to open it fairly easy was impressive and Cardinal gave a very soft, "Wow!"
She wasn't sure her homeworld had anything this cool, she was kind of jealous. The grotto that lay behind the door was amazing!!
The colors of the lake, the fact there was a large white tower that just seemed to erupt from the stands of the island it sat on. She watched as it looked like humanoid figures were moving back and forth. There were insects that were -- bioluminescent bugs? That was so cool.
Cardinal couldn't wait and she practically danced following the whole group to the mouth of the bridge and when Tempesti said they were there she grinned. She hadn't really seen anyone she knew but that was fine she could make friends!

Character Name: Eternal Sailor Alastor, Senshi of Despair
Action: Talking with Sessrumnir, balancing Lucien on his shoulder, standing by Solaris
Amused by Solaris’ little nudge, Alastor had given her a half smile in response. He might have nudged her back in return but instead he’d stayed still to give Lucien a stable platform to stand on. He didn’t want to risk where those claws would go if the Mauvian needed to scramble to keep his balance.
Though he’d given time to listen to Solaris’ questions, and Tempesti’s answer, his attention was perpetually divided amongst the group. Maybe that helped keep him from being as energetic as usual; though, it wasn’t like he ever treated calls for help flippantly enough to run around needlessly.
Or, maybe he just remembered how worried Sessrumnir had been about the last time they rushed into danger together. Alastor was fine, but he knew how the Knight worried. Lucien, too. Whose muscles were too tense, whose posture was too tight.
Alastor chose not to give them more to worry about right now.
“Of course,” he promised Lucien, always amused by the way he puffed up his chest, like he needed more volume.
He dipped his head slightly towards Sessrumnir. “You should question me more often, I’d love to show off for you.” He knew, of course, that Sessrumnir would be faster to doubt himself than Alastor. The corner of his lip twitched into another smile.
“Your stamina is fine,” he reassured, patting his arm dotingly. “And you’ll find no hard lessons on Alastor, it’s been very tame for me lately. Do you really need any practice runs? You’re already very practiced when it comes to solving problems. I’m sure things will be fine. We’re in good company. Tempesti has an idea for how we can help, that’s better than what we usually start with.”

Character Name: Eternal Sailor SolarisAction: Hangin' with Alastor, Sess, and Lucian "Glad I could join you guys, looks like we're gonna have quite the party." Her grin to Sessrumnir was somewhat more of a bemused smirk as she eyed the collection of those gathered, and the tower beyond with its guardians they were there to deal with. Plus, getting off-world to help assist and not because of a horrific void-serpent? Yes please. Quite the party, indeed. Tempesti's explanation about the constructs was very helpful in her mind, curious to see the things for herself. But they had targets, or at least more specifics to narrow their attacks on to see what worked best... the seams, the power sources. Lucien's take on them fell in line with her own, even if she'd given the Mauvian a smug look when she'd caught the little incline to the scritch. Official as he was, the little lapse delighted her to no end. Even stately folks needed to relax now and then, in her oh so biased opinion. "We will, easier to take down opponents in a group." Her response to his directive to remain together was joined with simple nods, but she quickly made quite the face. Of course, she didn't miss the exchange between the couple beside her, nose wrinkling when she'd keyed into the conversation enough to hear love to show off, your stamina is fine, and you'll find no hard lessons... "You two need a room?" The quip was affectionate--she'd caught the fact they were talking about the current situation, but couldn't help the chance to tease them before things got serious. "Or run some laps to warm up? No harm if you're getting stage fright."Because what else could a battle be, but a strange dance where learning others' flow and rhythms could make or break the success of the outcome and the performance? At least, in that moment of levity, she could view it in that light.

Character Name: Reims, Knight of GanymedeAction: Trying to process twins, awkward questions, heading into battle. Reims froze again, but this time it wasn’t because of panic.
Instead it was… double vision? No. Just two of them. One was there already. Now another one. Both standing there like this was totally normal.
He felt his brain stutter.
For a moment, he thought he was losing it. Until-- oh. Right. He did know this. Somewhere in the mess of things, he knew that Jason and Luke were twins. And Luke was Lisse. Which meant Jason was--
The smart twin.
“...Are there more of you??” he blurted out before he could stop himself, and then immediately wished he could take it back. Because yeah, sure, that was definitely how twins worked. His ears burned first, then the rest of his face. He crossed his arms tighter, and he stared very hard at the constructs ahead of them like maybe he could make them spontaneously combust.
This was fine. Completely fine.
Except it wasn’t, because his stomach was twisting itself into knots and if he thought about it too long, he was going to make an even bigger fool of himself.
He shifted closer to Dering.
“Come on, let’s go deal with--” he gestured at the stained glass enemies, straightening his shoulders as if that would make things any better.
He didn’t wait for anyone else, not wanting to give them a chance to make fun of him. Just heading for the fight, his steps too quick, his voice maybe a bit too sharp. If he was overcompensating with awkwardness, well… it was better that the constructs take the brunt of it instead of anyone else.

Character Name: Cynthus, Squire of the MoonAction: Still embarrassed. “Oh my God, stop talking,” Cynthus whined.
Shielding her face wasn’t enough. Cynthus brought her hands to her ears to block out the sound of Poe and Paradise, who got more embarrassing by the second. She cast a brief glance toward her friends (she’d seen Dering’s wave but hadn’t managed more than a long suffering look in response) and considered ditching her dad and aunt to join them, but with her luck Poe would immediately keel over as soon as she turned away or Paradise would coo over something she shouldn’t and get herself trapped.
Embarrassing as they both were, Cynthus couldn’t let anything happen to them.Guine Had to hit word count. Moving to the next thread.

Character Name: Sailor Vilenius, DSS of Melancholy
Action: Talking to Kemi
The hair on the back of his neck bristled. Vilenius was nearly ready to slip away when he felt eyes on him and he swiveled, squinting into the crowd.
He spotted Kemi immediately.
Her face flashed into his mind, briefly, but he found no name with it. No memories. Maybe he imagined the familiarity. Maybe they’d just been in close proximity during some other gathering like this.
The longer she stared, the more his brows furrowed, and finally he snapped and hissed, “What!”
