She didn't know what was going on, at least not everything, but the senshi of vampires was more than willing to dive in and help with whatever was going on. She was nervous, didn't feel she was strong enough, but this had to do with the kidnappings and saving those who had been taken by the ones who had ruined the New Years party, the Negaverse. It wasn't a name she was familiar with but she was coming to know that word and she knew she'd learn more about that word and learn to dislike those who served under it.
To do as they had, to ruin things and to kidnap people, she had to help in whatever manner she could. So with that in mind she made her way past where the dead youma had been and headed into the fun house, heels clicking as she made her way inside. "I really hope this isn't a trap." She whispered, though something told her that it might be one. Looking around, wondering if she could find someone to stick close to. Curls bounced and swayed as she shook her head. She needed to find someone to stay with for this but who? Thinking this over while she made her way into the moving tunnel.
her balance was lost, thanks to the tunnel and her heels, and down went the senshi with a sound of surprise. Landing on hands and knees, hurting herself in the process, she crawled her way through and out to the end where she stood up and dusted herself off.
[ Andronicus - 50 HP - Passes the Rolling Tunnel! ]
Once again the congregation of Order energy left her uneasy. Large groups attracted unwanted attention and usually ended in fire. As she worked her way towards the rundown carnival though, she was happy there were lots of them. It gave her the creeps. Clowns were bad enough when they were in pristine condition. They were a hundred times creepier when they were run down.
The first obsticle was a rolling tunnel. Andronicus waited a moment, watching its rotation. A few others went through, falling or being successful, and she decided to just do it. The Squire sprinted along the moving floor, and came out the other side unscathed. Huh, good job.
[ Bifrost - 50 HP - Passes the Rolling Tunnel!]
Bifrost had heard one of her own was missing. She hadn't learned where until some hours earlier. The Squire of Chronos stepped cautiously up to the tunnel of rolling wonders and paused. "Having wings would be beneficial here..." she muttered quietly, trying to gage how best to go about it. It took few moments for her to decide how best to do it.
Thus, Bifrost Squire of Chronos, Gatekeeper of the Bridge, skipped down the path as though it was a path in her grandmother's garden.
[ Hydrus - 50 HP - Passes the Rolling Tunnel! ]
Sailor Hydrus of the Leviathan had been awoken for months now and he'd ignored every possible call. He had vague memories of a... future that didn't seem quiet possible but that was clearly unplausible. Besides, he had more important things to do than traps around in a priestess outfit of all things.
Yet here he was. He'd gotten a text that people had been captured, and his conscious couldn't exactly... ignore it. Bah. He wanted to stay with his notes, but no he had to go save people from the bad guys.
How... delightful.
"This is a terrible idea. Someone remind me why I'm doing this again..." he muttered, staring at the carnival ride turned trap in front of him. He was a certified idiot for coming here. The Senshi stumbled a few times but managed to make it through. Somehow.
[ Jarosite - 50 HP ]
Damn, they'd found their hiding place. He hoped that the traps would keep the Order idiots out of the way, but it seemed some of them were rather agile and capable of dodging. Others, as he watched a curly haired senshi crawl out of the first trap, were not so lucky. He smirked and popped out from behind one of the standing decorations.
"Are you having fun yet, little Senshi?" he said, lashing out with a kick as she tried to get up.
Sleet Tempest Snapex
Attacking Nephthys for 6 damage. Feel free to dodge or avoid it!
Was this..... really what was keeping everyone here? Ok, even Themiscyra winced at how that thought came about, but thus far she'd been doing pretty good making it through the funhouse. She'd lingered, for a moment, seeing how some of the others ran to some of the rooms. People were... inside. A portion of her was screaming help them, but she caught glimpses of those inside, and Themiscyra... kept moving.
Others were there and could help those two senshi. They weren't... the people she was searching for. They weren't Kairatos, Val, Ganymede, Hver. Oh she felt like s**t for just continuing on. But she kept going. Kept searching. There was so much more to this funhouse, she had to keep going if she was hoping to find them. She could have all the personal discussions about morals later. Preferably after people were safe. Home. Fed.
She tried to push away the addition of with some Negaverse bastards dead but couldn't help but notice how shoving it aside... wasn't happening.
Watching people go up and over a pit was sort of fascinating. Largely because all she saw were the energy waves bouncing off the... whatever was in there. Yet everyone was jumping not just walking, so that was a clear sign. She was tentative as she approached, poking a the strange surface with the toe of her boot... and laughed. A rather humorless laugh, but a laugh nonetheless. Plastic balls. A ball pit? Really? They couldn't have done something a bit more threatening? At least the other obstacles moved.
Metis backed up a bit, not thinking she was going to need much room to get over the pit. Really, this was just an insult. But no, it was an innocent, simple, pit of plastic balls. Run, jump....!
The curse that flew out of her mouth the moment she slipped off the edge of the other side of the pit and fell into the collection of balls was entirely Iris' fault and Metis was extremely happy none of the other Asteroids were there to see that. A few more were.... mumbled under her breath as she fought to move her uniform's various layers through the awkward balance made by all the moving plastic. Getting up and out of the pit was no issue, and beyond a slightly aching ankle she felt fine. Worst of the damage was likely just her pride.
She glanced back towards where others were trying to help the two victims found thus far evacuate. It was hard to tell how many were still ahead. They had to keep searching, find them all in this.... ugh. Place. At least so she told herself as she turned back and continued on.
Themiscyra made it through the ball pit without injury! Metis however slipped and lost 3 HP.
She was not in the mood to deal with any of Sessrumnir's crass behavior tonight. Given the seriousness of the situation she didn't truly expect it, but one could never be too sure. She was slightly annoyed that it'd taken him until after the battle with the youma to finally arrive. She showed him a small glare for his unwanted concern.
It was unkind of her and she knew that. His brother was one of the missing. Sessrumnir had to be worried, even if he didn't show it with the sort of panic she herself was reacting on. But with the stress of the situation resting heavily on her shoulders, Palatine couldn't help the short tone of her voice. She could only hoped he understood that she didn't mean anything by it.
She felt a brief pang of guilt for moving passed the first two rooms with no more than a quick glance inside. When she saw neither Ganymede nor Valhalla in either of them she moved on, leaving to two captives to the helping hands of others. She came upon a ball pit and jumped, but in her haste her jump fell short and she landed inside with a clattering of plastic balls. Palatine grumbled and growled to herself, shuffling the rest of the way through the likely germ-infested pit, climbing out on the other side.
“Which way?” she wondered, glancing over her shoulder to make sure Sess remained close behind.

Skadi groaned when she heard the commotion outside of the room she had been trapped in for what seemed like forever. Every time she thought that maybe, just maybe, they would get a break- when there was actually some eerie silence- it was broken by more screams and sobs. She struggled against her bonds as she always did when she returned to consciousness, and as always, they remained tight as ever and cutting into the skin at her wrists and ankles. She blinked a few times, trying to peer through the darkness and when the door flew open she jumped. Using what energy she had, she tried to push herself further into a corner of the room and clamped her eyes shut.
"I've already told you I don't know anything," she whispered, her voice hoarse.
The clinking of metal had Skadi's heart rate increase dramatically because metal never ever ended well in this place. Was it more chains to beat her with? Or perhaps to bind her further? The bluenette curled in on herself in the corner as best as she could, sobbing quietly and laying in wait.
The trio's next stop took them to a ball pit. "Do you think this is where the youma got the ball-shooting attack from?" Glitnir asked, eying the pit with suspicion. There had to be something sharp hidden under the balls. It couldn't just be balls and balls and balls.
"Maybe," Sadachbia said, taking a few steps up to the ledge.
"You might want to take a running start to make sure you make it over," Megrez said. "Have either of you practiced your jumping yet? No, wait, Glitnir, I know you have."
Sadachbia nodded. "You bet. I practiced it on my way here. It's pretty handy." Granted, she figured that the other two had much more jumping experience than she did, but she thought she at least had it figured out.
The three of them all went to jump at the same time, but only Megrez cleared the bit completely. Sadachbia's foot caught on the other edge of the pit, sending her to the ground, and Glitnir overbalanced on his landing and fell over.
"Maybe you should work on that a bit more," Megrez said.
Megrez clears the pit! Glitnir stumbles and takes 1 damage! Sadachbia stumbles and takes 1 damage!
Mintaka heard the chaos outside, but with being chained and stuck in the room, could do nothing. Aura's pinged off in every direction. Chaos, Order. Knights, Senshi.
She had no idea who was who, and was too weak to care at this point. She just wanted the suffering to end.
Cybele's attempt to just sprint through the funhouse was cut short almost immediately when stepping onto a portion of the moving floor sent her off balance. This time, she didn't fall, but she did stumble awkwardly to a stop, waving her arms for extra balance as if she were a trapeze artist... or, more realistically, a kangaroo trying to fly. Her dignity didn't really matter, though. Almost everyone else was tripping, too. This place really is a house of horrors, she thought somewhat sarcastically, almost positive that she hadn't seen the true horror of it yet.
As she very carefully made her way through the rest of the shifting floor, she wondered how the Negaverse got around this place.
Oh, right. They could teleport.

Oberon stared at her in exasperation and offense. “******** you,” he huffed, crossing his arms over his chest. “Excuse me, Princess,” he growled, waving her off as she turned down his offer. So sorry he’d forgotten who she was and how she couldn’t be holding the hand of someone like him. Jeez.
It wasn’t that he was trying to make it awkward he was just trying to save her the embarrassment of falling on her a** again. Not that he had much of an opportunity to argue or whatever, as she grabbed onto his wrist (as if that was much different) to pull him towards the second room.
“Hey! Are you okay??” he stared in surprise when they found a senshi who didn’t look too much older than they were. Of course, she didn’t look too great, and to make things worse, the sudden appearance of a General and youma had him on the offensive.
“Yikes, got any more metal rods?” Oberon gulped, moving to stand in front of the senshi until they were able to get her untied and get her out. It wasn’t his brother but he would be able to come back and help once they got her out, right??

Lucasta gave a start when another body went crashing into the ball pit, this one much larger than hers. All of a sudden she was grabbed by the scruff of her neck. She tensed and glanced up as best she could, glaring at the young man who dared to handle her in such away.
“Release me,” she demanded. She would have swiped at him, but she couldn't get a good angle with the way he was holding her. Instead, she settled for struggling in his grip, landing on all fours on the floor when she managed to free herself.
She gave the young man a quick sniff. His aura spoke of a Knight. She did not recognize him from any previous encounters—which was not surprising at all, given how few powered individuals she'd encountered since coming into awareness. She would have been less perturbed by his help had circumstances not been so dire.
Lucasta shook herself off and made her way toward the next obstacle, expecting the young man would follow.
“Watch your step,” she warned him. “The mirrors have been shattered.”
Nimble as she was, she was able to make it through the maze just fine, skirting around broken pieces of mirror and jumping over piles of reflective glass.

”Who’s Auro?” Jet wondered as he slipped inside the door to the senshi’s cell, closing the door quickly behind him. “Not that it matters,” he said, gleefully. His eyes shone with excitement as he made his approach, a wicked grin on his face. It was only a matter of time before the meddlesome senshi and knights came to rescue their own.
“I’m sure you might have noticed,” he started, lifting his hands to indicate the noises of a fight taking place somewhere beyond them. “I’ll just cut to the chase… We were told to corrupt or kill whoever was left over. So I thought, since you were my first catch… that your starseed might make a nice trophy. Unfortunately, I’m not nearly powerful enough to corrupt you…”
He approached her as he spoke, repeating the motions of their previous encounter. He very much enjoyed the fear in her eyes as he took hold of her starseed and was looking forward to repeating the experience. “Don’t worry. We’ll have plenty of time. The others still have a ways to go before they find you. It’ll be a shame they’ll only have a lifeless corpse to bring home,” he laughed, wrapping his fingers around her neck, while his other hand went to her chest, plunging inside to reach for her starseed.

Perdita rushed to the Senshi kept locked and bound in the room, but halted a few feet away from her when it seemed as if the girl was scared of them. Not that Perdita blamed her; she looked pretty beat up.
“It's okay, we're here to help you,” she said. “I'm Sailor Chibi Perdita and that's Sailor Chibi Oberon. There are others here, too.”
She was about to ask the girl if she was able to stand when the sudden appearance of a youma halted her in her tracks. She peered up at it as adrenaline surged through her veins. Her heart-rate picked up, and her palms were suddenly slick with sweat.
Perdita tried jumping out of the way before the youma's claws could make contact, but one caught her arm and sliced through the collar of her hood. Blood bubbled up and began a slow stream down her arm. She winced at the pain, but it was tolerable.
She spared a quick look at Oberon, trying to determine the best course of action. “I've already used all my magic,” she said. Even so, she handed her metal rod to him. “Use this one. You're more experienced at this that I am and you've played baseball. You'll swing better than me. Distract it if you can't dust it. I'll try to help the girl out and then we can make a run for it.”
Apart from his team there were other familiar faces in the Fun House, some he recognised by name - like Thraen who along with Athene and Ash had worked to get the Watch out and helping, then there had been those that he'd come across whilst doing his part to hunt up clues - like the ruddy furred Mauvian that had told him that Ganymede was her senshi in the same way that Athene was his senshi and the pink clad Squire.
He paused to call out to Thraen, who appeared to have had as much luck entering the Fun House as his team had "We're looking, we'll find them" before following after Ida.
He was in time to hear her tell him, Athene and Tsui that she was going to check along the way, was in time to hear her call out to check out the other part.
"Will do Ida"
And he had meant the words, really he had but lots of others were heading in the other direction she had pointed out and so he had pushed onwards.
After all even though he knew of some names that had been taken he knew that there had to be more to it than that.
There was a ball pit further on blocking his way full off balls similar to the ones that the once senshi had thrown at them and stung him with but Liryn wasn't going to let that stop him - he already had a solution in mind.
Kitty charge! Padding backwards for a few paces he turned and then ran as fast as he could and sprang at the last possible moment.
The kitty charge didn't fail him and he sailed over the pit skidding a little on the other side, but it didn't matter because he was over and that was the important part.
He wasn't quite so lucky in the next part where someone not smart had broken mirrors - lots and lots of the mirrors, although it was only when he felt the sting that he realised that he'd managed to nick himself on the glass.
He could hear voices further and sense auras. The first was strong like those of his team and warm - an Order Eternal. But the second... He bristled as he picked up the Lieutenant's aura and then a second and padded in that direction paws cat quiet on the ground. padded in the direction his paws cat quiet.
The door was a problem as he patted a paw against it.
At least until he heard the taunting voice coming on the other side, said voice reminding him a little of Ate.
He bristled. There was gong to be no starseed stealing on his watch.
He charged the door, a door which wasn't quite as closed at it had appeared as it knocked open. He kept going momentum and deliberate feline charge carrying forward as he sprang at his chosen target - a brown haired Lieutenant.
