Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I wasnt' exactly looking for something that went bump in the night. I was about to go rock climbing, indoor rock climbing, when I spotted a moving shadow." And she just had to run after it, without back up, while being a Page, and it wasn't the brightest of things but it did prove she was the sort to run into things without much thought. Apparently like the blond haired knight of Mars.

"Gym space...we could check various gyms in the city. Find one where we can maybe book time?" Gorner offered thoughtfully, smiling as the idea took hold of her. She could go and check out plenty of gyms on her own, or with other people, and see if any had rooms or areas they could either rent out or just use and monopolize for their group. She could easily find the time in her schedule, meaning she'd make the room and some other things would be put to the back burner.

Listening to the blond haired knight as he continued speaking, Gorner let her pale blue eyes drift about. Watching everyone around them she found herself sighing. "Well, as exciting as a fight might be...that won't achieve anything and unfortunately we need to achieve things. It sounds like half the people here must be a group of immature children." She said, not really thinking or considering her words. She was, in her mind, referring to those who would so easily start a fight with no goal in mind - no headway trying to be made. Those who would fight for the sake of it, not those would would fight for a sound idea or to have a good idea heard.

"I doubt anything you started was nonsense." She said waving a hand about and focusing back on him. "It sounds like some of the others here would start a fight over anything, even little s**t nothing." She stated and tossed her short white hair. "Oh well, I wonder if we could bring popcorn and get it to pop here if we put it under the sand or something." She said wondering if they could get popcorn to go with the show next time, though that would likely provoke some form of a fight. It would be interesting and perhaps get the message across to any who would start a childish argument.

Her attention was taken away from Kairatos as another knight arrived, one she didn't know, and her pale eyes roamed over the Pluto knights form before nodding and holding out a hand. "Gorner, I prefer Key though." It was shorter and easier than Gorner and Keely - thus Key was the best.

"No, we do what we can. At best we can tell people to watch out for the terrorists. We can't name them, or indicate that we know anything. To do that would bring attention to ourselves as well as questions. I have heard of some telling their family. But I'd advise against it, in case any are involved in the war...or if any slip and mention your position by accident." People talked, by accident or not - people talked. Though hadn't she told a civilian...brought him to her wonder? It was a risk, she knew it, but they weren't family.

"All we can do is defend people when we see them being attacked. He are limited." She could only assume members of the Negaverse didn't go about telling their family and friends either, the risk was too great.

"The police in the city don't do much as far as involving themselves in this war goes. I would just try and hint not to get involved, that you worry for them. Subtly might work best." It was really the only sound advise she could give. Her own family was in the dark about her involvement and she didn't have to hint at anything, they didn't have positions that would open them up to more risk than anyone else in the city.

The perky, bouncy, mood that Terry was in had him wondering what the other was doing...was he here somewhere? He had felt it in the back of his mind the whole time he'd been here, maybe the other had been like this even while he'd been sleeping? He had no way of knowing even if that had been the case, not with him being asleep. he did however find out soon enough that Erebus was indeed here on Mars.

When the other turned up at his side he found himself staring up at him, blinking his dark eyes while giving a questioning look. That was a turn of phrase, he assumed, that he didn't know. "Fights common here?" He asked, figuring the other would understand the look, and the reason for it, Erebus was typically good at reading him and knowing he didn't understand everything, especially certain slang words or phrases.

Giving the others hand a squeeze he leaned into the others side. "Lot of energy from you...good mood?" He asked as he turned his head and pressed his face to the others shoulder, in order to muffle and hide a yawn. "Was woken by summon..." Hence the yawn. He was awake but he had still only just woken up and it had been a rather sudden wake up call. Tired eyes lifted to the others face and a quick press of lips to cheek.

With a bare face, like he had now, the small marks under his eyes were visible for the other to see. It wasn't something new to Terry but without glasses and nothing hindering his sight it was easier to see, so was the little difference under his eyes...a slight difference but when he smiled, as he did now, it made a difference that was noticeable.

If he had been paying attention, Terry would have noticed Seung had been peacefully sleeping before the call had come but at the time he hadn't been. Now that they were on Mars and his attention was pulled away from his project he could recognize the sleepy feeling in the back of his mind coming from his boyfriend and more then likely if he kept his attention on it then he would end up sleepy himself from it. However between his current state of bounciness and the fact that they were once again on Mars, his attention didn't stay on the sleepy feeling.

Erebus gave Venice a smile at the confused look and was quick to translate what he meant. "It just means something similar to phrases such as 'what is going on?', 'what is up?', and the like, and of course it includes a bit of flirt to it." He said then gave a shrug at the other's voiced question. "Sometimes. Not physical fights but verbal. Much like how meetings with all of the order tend to turn into chaos, the Knight meetings from what I've experienced tend to end up with yelling as well."

"I- might have had a bit of candy. And cool aid. I was also working on a fun project before I got here." The way he started the sentence had him drawing out the 'I' a bit then he gave Venice an innocent smile. The young man kept himself mostly still as the other man cuddled close, though he couldn't quite help but occasionally bounce the leg farthest from Venice. "Sorry, at least when you head back you can continue." He said and pressed a kiss to Venice's forehead.

"It's nice to meet you Hercynia" Falias said as his smile shifted into something slightly less awkward.

He nodded at her question, fingers reaching down to the stone of his own necklace and lifting it, the movement causing the owl feather attached on the end to sway gently.

It was a symbol that as with her was repeated across his outfit.

"Yes" he agreed "The crossed circle is our - is Earth's symbol" he looked it up one day back when he had still been a Page. "There's actually a third one of us here today - his name is Camelot and he's a Royal Knight, but he's also very kind and very nice."

The silence that fell between them after that was not an uncomfortable one making Falias hope that he wasn't doing too badly.

At least he hoped that he wasn't doing too badly.

"My Wonder is a forest" he said at Hercynia's second question. "And there's a city - well at least the remains of a settlement built up in the trees."

He continued "And I get there by repeating my pledge to my Wonder."

His voice turned rueful as he continued "Even after finding out about Wonders, I couldn't get there at first but then one day when I was out on patrol it was like there were these words" he frowned but the frown wasn't an unkind one "Or perhaps they were always there and I had just recalled them."

The frown faded "But after that I've been able to visit my Wonder, although it's not something that I can do every day."

The ruefulness was back in his voice as he admitted "I think that the pledge might be different to each knight although I know that the whole thing sounds weird."

Because even to his ears it sounded odd.

The pull was undeniable. Even in sleep, it reached the boy jostling him awake. At first, it felt like it was still a dream.

In truth, it was very much like sleepwalking.

Erytheia barely registered the warm glow of his uniform as it caressed his near unconscious form as he opened his eyes to see the surface of Olympus Mons. Indeed, much of the page still imagined this to be a dream. But it wasn't.

There was an all-consuming presence that assured Alphonse that what he was seeing was in fact real. It was the largest piece of the Code he had ever seen or felt. And he somehow knew this Code was special even though he had only recently come to discover what it was and what it meant to knights like himself.

Speaking of others bound to the order of knighthood, Erytheia of Cosmos could sense the presence of others as the scene unfolded before his eyes. Knights of every planet, moon or star appeared here. A full-fledged knight of his star, Cosmos, led this unusual meeting.

It was all so very, very much to take in. He had barely begun to learn how to travel to his own lone wonder and now he was on Mars!

The Code. Knighthood. Wonders. Memories. Sacred talismans. Magic. Chaos. Senshi. Negaverse. A thousand years.

It all seemed so much larger than himself or what he could ever dream to comprehend. Was this who he was?

"Awwww man you mean I have to damage this pretty face." He made an exaggerated pain filled face as he took Key's hand and rather than shaking it, since it was typical, he gave it a quick peck. He repeated the gesture with Meteora before settling down on the bench with his friends. "Havasu Falls at your service my good ladies... Kai you can go suck a lemon." His smile was bright and full of laughter as he poked fun at the other knight.

"Sadly my horse refused to join me on this trip and she is likely sleeping at home right now." Hav was speaking of his large cat since the general response when people saw her was 'she is as big as a horse', that and he was enjoying the whole cowboy vibe Meteora was humoring him with.

Squirming on the bench Hav sighed, "You think next time I could bring my lazy-Boy? At least this way my a** won't fall asleep." He might be a clown and a ham but he wasn't stupid. He had been paying attention but he did seem to miss something. Likely something they had said before he came over. "A gym? I know of a gym but no clue how much it will cost to rent it out. What do you need it for? Not sure if it's what you need, or at least has what you need." He was a silent partner in a gym run by Delilah's cousin so getting time likely wouldn't be hard, it was more a matter of the type of equipment that Kai was looking for.

Hug it out? Really? Hav's brow furrowed as he tried to remember that but in all honesty he didn't remember much from that meeting so he just shrugged and shook his head. Instead of commenting on the last meeting he leaned over and took in the sight of the two lovebirds snuggling. The smile that had been full of mischief softened. They really did look happy. Feeling a pang of jealousy and loneliness Hav squashed them instantly and snarked at Kai, with maybe a bit more shrewdness than he meant, "Leave the two lovers alone in their own little bubble. No fighting tonight since that would ruin the mood... the hot, dry, worn, old, mood." He winced as he caught the slight skewness of his tone but he kept his mouth shut since any damage that would have been done was already done.
