Andronicus raised a brow but gave a nod to Mistral. If she could, she'd help too. It was never easy having to rely on other people, but the Mercury page got props for asking for it. Perhaps calling everyone here at once was a bit... extreme, but it benefitted everyone. Or seemed to.
Wait they had communication devices that weren't voice?
Andronicus turned to Themi for a moment (who clearly had an idea of what the hell was going on more than she did) before looking back at Mistral. She really needed to find a way to her wonder. She caught Themi... writing? And then punching a ring into the paper?
The hell was that?
"Themiscrya... the hell did you just do? Did you just.... write a note and send it off? Like a howler?" she stared at her for a moment, completely confused.
---
Bifrost smiled at Mistral raised a hand. Of course she'd help! The knights of Chronos may be small and may be far and wide, but the court would not back away from a chance to help people. If she'd learned anything in the years she' been a part of it, it was that the Chronos knights were protectors. That meant doing what was right and helping out.
"I'll help m'dear!" Her shoulders wiggled in her excitement and she twitched her behind in her seat. Oh this would be exciting! She'd get to visit other planets too!romeo wilco Andronicus and Bifrost are yesses to help her! Kaefaux Ooooooo you're passsing nooootes. razz

A small portion of her fellows were not speaking up. She would… she would take that as a no. Mistral looked from Andronicus to Hara Berezaiti--and finally to the knights near Babylon, Valhalla and Alexandria. She understood why they might be reluctant to help someone so new as she. They didn't know if she was trapping them or not. But it did… hurt, a little.
She shoved that aside. Sure, those five hadn't said anything. But others had. Babylon, Megiddo, Niflhel, another Saturn knight (Saturn knights were good people, apparently, she might adopt herself into their planet), a Neptune knight, two Cosmos knights, a Mars knight, and an Earth knight. Last of all were two more--a Mercury page and a Mars page. Then, a page of a planet she didn't recognize. "Thank you, all of you," she said, with an abbreviated little bow.
She honestly didn't know when it would go there. The Code, the computer thing that had brought her here, had brought her here immediately. She imagined they would be immediately brought to Mistral, too. "My Wonder isn't cold," she said. "It's climate-controlled, I think." How? She didn't know. She kind of anticipated finding some flooded room deep in the maze of Mistral. "The Code brought me here immediately when I asked for help. I think it may be the same here."
What else should she say?… She was sure that there was something but she couldn't think of it. "Does anyone have… questions?"

"Yeah, well," said Babylon, and stopped, because Alexandria had a point. As far as he was aware, Valhalla had never gone and had a near-death experience and involved Alexandria in it. That and he didn't want to go and drag Valhalla into this any more than he already had been - he was already more than certain that the knight didn't like him, and there was no reason to toss more ammunition his way. "Aww, but if you locked me up then you'd be responsible for taking care of me," he said instead, trying to work his way out of this. "Would you sit there and poke crackers through the bars to me? No? Also, I did not call you a child, I called you kid. It's different. Kid is a term of endearment. I call everyone kid." Well, no, that was an exaggeration, but the point stood. He could see that he was losing this popularity contest, and that was not a game he was going to play. If they decided to come help with the thing, well, that was their call. Horses and water, as the saying went. Mimisbrunnr got the A+ gold star pupil award, he decided. "I will explain in full later," he said, beaming at how eagerly she volunteered to help Mistral. Well, he'd tried to get everyone on board, and that was all he could do. "Okay, yeah," he called, raising his hand. "Question. Do you mean to say we are going there right now?"

"Eh, I'm just going to assume Mars was pickier about her knights." Kairatos joked. "Apparently this is THE big meeting place so we've gotta be the best and the baddest right?" He grinned, and was pretty clearly only half kidding about this. He raised an eyebrow at the speed and vehemence with which she crammed a message into her ring, but decided not to joke about it for the time being. Themi had raised a good point, given how Knights of Babylon dressed, this might not be too far off from how he imagined patrolling in winter might go. He wasn't sure if their uniforms came with magical warming magic, but.... he was pretty sure that was a no.

Of course she was here, he noted as soon as she walked into the coliseum. He'd taken a seat way, way, way at the back more to observe than anything else, nodding acknowledgements to those he knew as he passed them before finding a good spot. Plenty of familiar faces, though there was one page in particular -- likely the one who called them here somehow -- that wasn't one of them when he finally turned and noticed her. Ashur listened quietly as she proceeded to explain what was going on, his attention occasionally flickering to a few others who spoke or had questions to ask. The decision to volunteer and help was a no-brainer for him, actually; part curiosity and part to make sure but he stayed quiet in the back until things seemed to start wrapping up.
"What difference does it make?" he finally spoke up after Babylon, then stood and stretched a little before starting to walk down the steps to join everyone else. "I'm all for upgrading these rings, anyway; the sooner, the better." Ash looked to Mistral then, this time with an actual question in mind.
"How long do you think this is gonna take, though?"romeo wilco Hope you don't mind a super late jump-in right here. >o>a

Mimisbrunnr twiddled her fingers for a moment, taking a breath. "I look forward to hearing the story," she said, even if she kind of didn't. If it came with a story of Babylon getting hurt and/or risking his life...she really wasn't sure she wanted to know.
Oh well, she was already invested, and if they were going to make advances in the field of Knightly communications, they would have to do this together.
"This could be fun! Maybe?" She posited. "I mean, if we all work together, we'll all be making this happen and it'll help everyone, right? She looked from Babylon, to Alexandria, to Valhalla, hoping someone agreed with her.
Even if she didn't entirely agree with herself, and part of her really sort of wanted to go back home and grade papers.

"I don't know," said Mistral. "I really don't. I was at my Wonder and now I'm here and I don't actually know where I am. So. I guess. It's up to… the Code?" Was that helpful? Apparently, no. She shrugged helplessly at Ashur. "The floors of the labyrinth aren't big, but there are a lot of them," she said. "I'm hoping that they're--the upgrades, I mean--made of resonant metals or something. So I can find them easily?" This was, apparently, all the patience the Code had for her. Moments later, she vanished--and the rest of the knights did, too. If you have not posted in Maps & Measures, you may still join a labyrinth thread!Please proceed to the thread of your choice: Level 4: Hydroponics - Easy difficulty, hilarity, traumatic death. Level 6: Weapons Development - Medium difficulty, electrocutions, slightly more serious, traumatic death. Level 7: Archives - Hard difficulty, death, lots of death You may only choose ONE THREAD, so choose wisely!
