Lina wondered, sometimes, if she shouldn't have just killed Castor months ago and left his body for the birds. That was ire speaking to her at the moment more than anything however, as the glowing knight made a surveillance of the crowd below. Several senshi, a few over Eternal rank, and Pollux of course. There was another knight that she had met before and...children?!
The scanner zoomed in on one of them in bright yellow even as her idiot Prince of a husband spilled out all the information about their particular situation, let every Negaverser in the city know that he was prowling around, and showed off. He was so lucky she was desperately in love with him.
But he knew that.
There was an interesting senshi that looked like something straight out of the Twenties who had asked rather clearly who the hell Lina was. Positive that there was no real better entrance point the Knight of Mercury slid out of her hiding place. "I'm Lina. Pleased to meet all of you." Walking in under a street lamp, an eyebrow quirked at the brothers Castor and Pollux.
"Having fun? I'm just thrilled that you feel the need to tell everyone what my situation is exactly." Doghouse. He was probably in it. Just a little bit.
(( I am not entering, just here for funsies. ))

A tiny brush of something in the back of his mind. A little chill he would occasionally get. Castor flinched as he suddenly felt who and what it was. It was the Knight's energy pattern, it was her. The fact she was upset with him, maybe even mad. It was relationship raday and right now it was pointing to 'bad move'. Turning his head over his shoulder, Castor's laugh was a teensy bit nervous as she strode over. "Well I can't keep you, us, a secret really. Plus I mean look at you." He inched toward her, smile a little wary, he had upset her and would probably need to bribe her with cinnamon buns to get in her good graces later. "How can I not tell everyone? You're the one the star in the sky that consumed my everything." He might have been trying to butter her up. "My heart, my life, my love." He was. "My forever. And no matter what you are, what form you take, you are my star eternal."
Pollux made a small mock gagging noise. "You never stop do you?" He threw his hand up at his brother. He just chose to interact with the other p***s in the room, quirking a brow at Niflhel and his new outfit. "Squire?"
((Pollux will not be rolled for, since rolling for more then one char to me is a gross unfair advantage and IC wise, He would lose to other... |Da which I kind of need to happen for him to develop))

There was obviously still more that Hygiea hadn't been told and a lot she didn't get. She took Niflhel and HugBell's explanations in stride, smiling like she understood them and even nodded a few times with a few 'oooh's along the way. "Is there someone you want to save or something?" She asked her friend, the only thing she could really gather from all of it. It would be something she would have to ask *********, maybe. Or maybe even Iris when she came across her again.
"That would be pretty neat though, to fix them and stuff." Hygiea tapped her chin. She didn't have too much experience with the Negaverse save when they attacked school and camp, so there wasn't much to say on the matter. Probably another thing to ask ********* later on. Or maybe on one of the patrols she could get the inside scoop from HugBell. She did seem to know a lot about this stuff.
The amount of amazing for the night just seemed to go to another level once Lina arrived on the scene. Hygiea's brain was pretty much going into overload from what she was seeing. First another eternal who could turn into a prince or something with armor, knights, purifying people, more senshi then she'd probably seen since ... ever. And now an awesome looking blue haired chick that GLOWED. "You glow ~" Hygiea squealed, her voice oddly low and the words drawn out in awe. How cool was that? It probably didn't help when trying to be sneaky but who cared? The woman glowed!
But then Castor ruined it all and Hygiea soon shared an expression much akin to Pollux, except it wasn't pretend. "Urg, mushy romantic crap.. gross." Hygiea was not one for public displays of affection, much less when it was put into prose that sounded like it was from some cheesy teenage romantic movie or something.

Niflhel watched Pasiphae, "Well.... apparently she was." He gave a soft shrug, roll of the shoulders. "Though she's a knight now."
Ahhh speak of the devil... It seemed interesting that Lina would show up. He grined, "Hello again Lina." He gave a small nod of the head to his superior, as she appeared and scolded Castor.
When Castor started gushing Niflhel's face followed suit with Hygiea's and Pollux's; however there was soon a distraction by Pollux. "Yes." He replied, with a slight grin.
Hug-bell nodded towards Pasiphae. "I'll make sure to do that." She smiled towards the girl, before looking back at Hygiea. "Yes, at least one. There are many Negaverse officers that might be worth saving though. I'd like to try to help them all." It was a large goal for such a small girl.
She paused looking at Lina and the fact she glowed, "Oh.... Scheelite would love her outfit." She whispered turning back to Hygiea she whispered to the other explaining what she knew about Scheelite and how he seemed, in her opinion, to be on the wrong side of things.
However, that complete explanation was ruined by Castor. A matching, gag-horror look fell on her face turning towards the Prince. "Gross is right..." She whispered before calling her super attack and hiding her and Hygiea behind the over-sized Barnaby. "Might not help in what we hear but at least we don't have to see it." That was the good thing about bears growing to the size and width of a full size bed. Despite not using that attack often, he was at least going to aid in avoiding some of the grossness.

When the woman in question appeared Polaris was quick to take her in, never having actually met the girl before corrupted or not. She was attractive, the power coming from her much higher then any other knight she'd been across yet. A smile formed momentarily on her lips as Lina tried to reel Castor in. She should have guessed that it would take someone with a heavy hand to leash the pervy menshi. It was cute actually.
Until Castor start to spout.. something. Paddling to save himself it seemed.
Despite being a romantic Polaris also wasn't a large fan of large scale public displays of affection. Romance was wonderful, but it had it's place, in a place that was just for the two involved. In public though.... A few soft words. A chaste and quick peck. A bit of hand holding, that was her idea of what couples did in public. The words were a bit much for her taste but she reacted politely enough, simply shifting her eyes back down to the cameras. It could have been MUCH worse after all. Atleast it was just words not some trashy makeout sessions and heavy petting spree.
She couldn't help but giggle softly at the chibis and what she perceived as their overreacting. Children were adorable.
And if nothing else Castor had succeeded in killing the barrage of questions being thrown his way. Clever boy.

The Shame Senshi nodded towards Niflhel in thanks, grateful for the explanation, however brief. With so many people around her, it was hard to keep everything going on around her straight. Then, thinking the nod might be too ambigious, she more clearly turned to the Squire to articulate herself, "Thanks for the information; it's appreciated."
Yet, second-hand information was no longer necessary as Lina herself came onto the scene. Pasiphae studied the Knight, but what she saw did not make her situation any clearer. She didn't look like a Senshi - the outfit was clearly more militaristic, for all of its bright, almost glowing teal. Plus, Lina's primary color was black, which screamed Negaverse or at least corrupted Senshi, from what Kallichore had told her. But... what everyone around her told her was that the blue-haired Knight had been an enemy and wasn't one any longer. Clearly, Castor (Prince Castor? She would have to look into that tangle later) was fawning all over her, and no one else questioned her presence.
Harder still, at least for the judgmental Pasiphae, she approved of Lina's actions much more than the antics of Castor, someone who very clearly was a Senshi. Clearly, there was still much that she didn't understand. Never one to doubt her own observations, she offered Lina a smile, not wanting to interrupt the romantic gushing of Castor. She would have to wait for another opportunity to speak with her more.

Arms crossed so that her eyebrows raised even more at Castor's attempts to butter her into some feeling of goodwill. Polaris would have been only slightly right about the leash, it was more or less a choke chain that Lina only used in extreme situations. This was one of them. It was interesting to note that though the two of them didn't mind wrapping each other in a cocoon of mushy affection, it didn't really have a time or place when surrounded by a bunch of children.
Especially senshi children.
Lina murmured to her royal partner, rapping a knuckle against his chest so that his breastplate rang hollowly. "Down boy. You should be careful about who you flash your power at." Brushing past his wing she grinned at the girl who had made a comment about her glowing. "I do glow! It's a benefit that all the Knights from Mercury have. I have two friends, Babylon and Hesperis, who glow just like I do." Endless cousins had given her experience with children.
"You're pretty bright too, you know. You and your friend. I can't say I've ever seen little senshi before." A nod of acknowledgement and curiosity was tossed to Niflhel. He looked and felt different. Level up? She'd have to find out later. "What's everyone doing here, if you don't mind me asking."
Some probably did.

Oh, question! That meant her! She straightened in surprise as the question sounded. It wasn't the kind she was expecting, but it wouldn't hurt to repeat it. Who knew if others hadn't wandered in a little later.
"Everyone is here to hear about the contest I'm running and decide if they'd like to join."
Lifting one of the cameras lightly, she gave the bare bones explaination. "I'm offering cash and prestige to whoever kills the most youma within a month. You just need to take a picture to confirm you've confronted a youma and email them to me each week. $500 and your name and picture will be sent off to every senshi phone. Not to mention a nice party at the end."
"Are you.. interested in joining?" She asked curiously. She hadn't really thought to include knights in the contest, but now that the oppurtunity arose it seemed like a good enough idea! They were on the side of justice after all. Unfortunately, other than Niflhel, with whom she was quite well aquainted with she had no clue how to contact the members of the new faction. But the ones that stumbled upon their little game, surely they could join if they wanted!

Having conveniently zoned out to grapple with the new revelation of Castor’s royalty, Pomona missed the part about Lina having formerly been Linarite. A very good thing, considering how the last encounter Pomona had with Linarite had involved her and that hell-a-freaky purple General trying to kill Castor. Pomona still had nightmares about that particular night.
As it was, the Senshi of Peppers was blissfully unaware of this, so once her brain finally rebooted, she happily popped up by Polaris’ side.
“ Youma killing contest, eh? I’m game!” A pause as a thought occurred to Pomona. “ Er, we can team up with people, right?”
Pomona was better at handling youma then Negas, but, well, there weren’t many scenarios in which magic peppers made for a fearsome weapon. She was better at distracting and corralling youma then she was at killing them.

Niflhel actually gave the chibis a thumbs up for having someplace to hide. He wished he could do that, it'd save him from having to worry about all this mushy crap. "You're welcome Miss." He said directing the words at Pasiphae with a smile.
He gave a grin towards Lina when he noticed the nod, letting Polaris answer the questions. "I suppose..." He said with a slight pause, "I could get numbers of the knights I know next time I see them, to help aid in something like this."
There was a small frown though, certainly even with Camelot's connections they wouldn't know every knight that showed up in Destiny. The he paused when he heard party looking at Polaris, "Are you going to be cooking for that?" He asked as if the comment had caught him completely off guard.
However, his distractions didn't last long when Pomona piped up with a question, "Yes ma'am, a youma killing contest." He gave a small smile and offered her a camera, "And I'd say you could, perhaps it'd be the smarter idea to actually team up after all. For some of us it's more difficult to fight alone than with others." He glanced at the chibi senshi and to Pollux having seen something of their attacks before. "Just make sure you and those that you team up with are in the picture somehow."
He hoped these didn't end up like those yourspace or fakebook shots and ended up sorta bad looking. "Polaris could probably explain the picture procedure better since it's her br--- idea." He stopped himself from saying Brain Child in hopes that Polaris wouldn't get starry eyed over the kids again.

"Correct" She nodded to Niflhel's answer with a soft smile. She'd known of course he would tag along simply to watch over her, but she was pleasantly surprised with how helpful he'd turned out to be. Polaris was happily surprised that they'd actually had enough interest to need two people handing out cameras and answering questions.
It was also nice to see him so confident and happy, greeting people and friends he'd made, watching him converse with Pollux for a brief moment. It was so different then before he'd become a page.. with that cloud hanging over his head.
"I suggest teaming up in fact. It's always safest. And you can both be in the picture or have two seperate pictures that count for each of you. Whatever is safest in your situation."
Niflhel's suggestion drew Polaris back and she nodded gently. "If you know other knights interested in working together you know I'd be more than happy to meet them. Or have some way to contact them. We're comrades in arms after all"
To the food comment he simply got a little laugh. When didn't he think of food. "If there are too many people then I may get some of it catered, but otherwise yes, I'll do the cooking. And no, you can't taste it all along the way." She teased mildly.

Lina considered Polaris' question for a long moment before shaking her head with a bit of remorse. "I think this is a great idea but I think I'd have an unfair advantage. I'm a bit of an expert in the field these days, which kinda scares the hell out of me by the way, so if you wouldn't mind me tagging along one night I'd be happy to with any of you." Fingers tapped at the scanner attached to her ear with an easier smile than before. Nobody seemed to interested in sucking her blood out with a straw before distributing it to wronged parties of her former secret life.
That was a good start.
"I take readings and stuff on here, kinda like vital signs. I think it'd be interesting to see what it says for all of you and if we can't start using that to our advantage."

((Just reminding people week 2 rolls end on the 10th! So about 2 1/2 days left to get those rolls in!
Also you don't have to wait until you get to 10 youma to do and post your rp! Feel free to start early, worst case scenario they end up as bonus points!))
Polaris inspected the scanner as it was tapped, impressed to say the least. It was true that it probably was a bit of an advantage.. just like Azzo would have had if he still had his youma tracking senses. Strange that they'd seemed to dull since he'd knighted up.
If there was a way to organize information it was something the senshi desperately needed and could make use of.
Of course there was... a slight nagging in the back of her mind. If Lina had been purified.. how difficult would it be to just corrupt again..? Turn back to the bad and have a whole database of sensitive info right at her fingers.
She tried to push it away though.. if they went around mistrusting their own teammates well.. it hardly faired well. Perhaps it was her turn to be the big girl and bridge the gap. To push aside all the nasty thoughts she'd once held for Castor and his unnamed enemy lover. Maybe the voices from the past had been right. Love and friendship and compassion could be the answer and this was just proof of that.
She nodded to the offered idea pleasantly. Sometimes you just had to take a risk! "I'd love to be of help if I can sometime. Just let me know. I'm sure Castor has me in his phone somewhere."

Castor for one thing looked rather pleasantly calm as Lina handled herself. His overly gabbing words of affection gone and now silent, he was content to simply stand by her side, looking at her lovingly. Still the idea that negaversers could be saved... "You can't save them." His tone wasn't cruel or lighthearted, it was just factual, monotone. "Lina is lucky. The others- Many...many others just are beyond hope. We can't save them, they can't be purified." He looked at Lina, knowing her opinions. "Besides, the power to do so in beyond us. Cosmos told me I too had this ability long ago-" then there was a touch of sadness, a lingering regret that perhaps if he had such a power in the past if he could have changed things, but he couldn't dwell on it. "But it's gone. The risk of even trying it is too high." Another look at Lina before he took a step from her. "I stand firm on that subject." Castor's A-game was thrown if only for a bit.
"Good." Pollux said as he looked the armor up a down. "More powerful I take it. At least I hope so." He rolled his shoulders before looking at the bear. "...That is your attack? A giant plush?" He sounded unimpressed, and from the bland expression he was. Kids were finicky things. Part of why he..well he did try to avoid them. But they just kept happening, sort of like trying to avoid old people. They just would appear. Old people and kids. Thankfully, he didn't think a 80 year old senshi would crop up anytime soon. "Killing with kindness doesn't work, at least not in the business world." A twitch in his eye. "I've been trying far too long on that particular front with my day job." But when Pollux heard the words cooking- "I'll help." Castor's jaw dropped. Pollux smiled a bit, just a bit. "It's rare I get to actually cook for more then small groups of people." Castor looked at the eternal and his bother. Pollux smirked. "If you'd let me that is."
Castor was more on the side of wolfish grinning at the senshi of magnetism's statement about phone numbers. "Oh Polaris, I know I should have called but things got hectic. But it's okay, we can still see each other even if I'm married." He was joking, not getting how poor taste it was. "Ah but yeah, still got your number."
Pollux rolled his eyes again. Giving Lina a look of pity. "Sometimes I feel sorry for you, you know that?"
