Clayton Mercer / With Cassiopeia Lyons & Ptolemaeus
"The hell are these ******** doing out here?" Clay asked mostly to himself, after hearing the girl's recount of events. She, too, had little clue of what transpired here. Explosions sounded like the main theme, followed by s**t catching fire. Where were the firefighters, then? Weren't the people in charge of the pyrotechnics doing something about the explosions? Equipment going haywire was someone's responsibility, right? "Come on, let's blow this dump then. I don't wanna stick around and get my s**t lit."
Man, this is ********. I buy tickets, and then this s**t happens. What if I just wanted a regular concert without pyrotechnics explosions and s**t? Why does everyone gotta be so goddamn inept about it? I shoulda moved the hell away from my parents. I coulda gotten similar rent in like, Detroit, and I'd fit in hella tight there.
Clay released the girl's arm and turned to leave, though he beckoned for her to follow. He managed all of two steps before he stopped, sighting the very familiar figure of Ptolemaeus approaching them both. Because it's not a ********' disaster until this bozo comes out of nowhere. The Mirror Senshi possessed the peculiar skill of ruffling Clay's feathers about five words into any given sentence. Already he felt ready to punch the guy out, all because he spoke of the explosions having something to do with the power. Of course, the remaining words, especially with monsters and sailor scouts, only fed the fire. Clay simply couldn't contain himself. "The ******** your problem, b***h? You think you're the only one around here who's got power for this s**t? Me n' her were gonna get outta here way the hell before your a** showed up to the party!" Clay turned his hands out in his pockets, ending in a 'what gives?' gesture.
"C'mon," he called back to Cassie. "This a*****e's full of hot air. Let's get outta here."

Sailor Sylph - a secluded Area just outside of the fairgrounds - rejoining Sailor Sparks
Sylph had looked over at the sound of the familiar voice, a small smile flitting briefly on her face as she spotted Umbra.
"See you managed to catch up" she said quietly, even as she glanced about to see if she could catch any youma.
She had been pretty lucky on her end - only coming across a couple..
A couple that had been dusted relatively easily enough and without her having to resort to using her magic.
Which was a relief, because whilst using her magic was pretty neat, it was also quite tiring if she used it too much - which meant that she kind of wanted to hold it as something in reserve in case of something big...
And youma whilst annoying, weren't generally something that she considered big.
Her walkie crackled with an incoming message from Castalia and Sylph spoke into it as she continued to make her way to the trailers where they had come in "I'm on my way to the trailer area" she said, her voice slightly clipped from trying to trot and speak "Umbra is with me."
She kept trotting "I'll probably be there in the..." she thought about it for a moment before continuing "Next 5 to 7 minutes or so at my current pace, or a bit more if I end up running into youma."
She hadn't caught the crackle of message from Fiera, but it seemed that Umbra had done so as her partner mentioned that he was going to loop around to go get her.
Sylph had managed a nod as Umbra headed out and had broken out into a full out run as Sparks reminded them that they all needed to get a move on.
She hadn't counted on running into the youma and it had been even more of the pain to deal with due to the fact that the whole area had suddenly been plunged into darkness, however somehow she had managed.
And fortunately there hadn't been any further distractions on her way back to trailer area.
She had ditched her hoodie at some point as she rounded a couple of trailers as she followed the senshi aura and made her way over to Sparks.
"Sorry for the delay" she said as she glanced over at the woman with Sparks (Jade Argent). "I ended up crossing path with a youma that didn't want to play nice."

Sorry for the delay guys - work has been hammering me lately
Lieutenant Natrolite- In secluded place - Powering up, waiting.
Xenotime was on the move again but he had his orders. This time Layne didn't follow. Instead his eyes scanned the area, or what he could make out in the darkness. Getting a path in mind he moved away towards a restroom trying to go with the flow of bodies so not to be picked out for any particular reason.
When he made it to the area in mind he ducked into the staff usage bathroom and powered up. Now it was a waiting game, though he was planning to move away shortly to a new area.

Cassiopeia Lyons - with Clay and Ptolemaes - the metiphorocal rope in a verbal tug of war
Where Ptolemaes' presence triggered annoyance in Clay, Cassie seemed visably relieved. s**t had hit the fan and was raining down all over the place, but her court, at least one I felt them, was here as well. One she was familiar with, to boot. Although, now that she thought about it, had she ever actually tevealed herself to be Romulus, or had she just assumed she had...hmm.
Looking at him shrewdly, she considered how she could make it obvious now, but couldn't come up with anything before he was advising her and Clay to get out of there. Cassie snorted. "Shouldn't you?" If it was dangerous for her, it was dangerous for him.
Clay seemed to be thinking along the same lines. Cassie blinked at the use of the word power, lips pursing, before Clay turned his attention back to her. "Er, yeah." They probably should get out of there. Whatever was happening, it likely didn't concern the Dark Mirrir Court, but...
"Do you know each other?" It kinda sounded like Clay knew the senshi of change.

Sailor Fiera -
Apparently the stupid guy's friend also thought going after the youma was a bad idea since he also voiced his displeasure, he had some lungs on him too. Her intervention and the buddies show had the dumbass leaving the youma alone which was good since she could now dust the thing without worrying about a squib getting in the way. She was about to open a can of whoopass on it when the lights went out.
"Hun?" Fiera came to a surprised stop and stared around her, unable to see anything really. Everything was just dark shapes and shadows, there were screams and shouts, apparently the power outage just made people freak out more. Her eyes adjusted just in time for someone to grab her hand and start to pull her away, the echo of two squawking radios ment it was a teammate... or a nega who found a radio, but she could see enough to tell just who it was who was towing her along behind him like a tugboat or a child's toy.
She tugged at her hand, rather weakly honestly because she knew it was Umbra who was holding it... and she kinda took a shine to him. Luckily the darkness hid her blush. "I can walk by myself you know," she muttered softly at his back, well aware of just how short she was right then. They likely looked like an older sibling towing their much younger sibling behind them. It was embarrassing.

DMS Ptolemaeus - with Clayton Mercer and Cassiopeia Lyons - trying to figure out what's going on
The Dark Mirror's brows rose high as the young man with braids across his undercut began to cuss at him. Had he said something offensive? Whatever he'd said, though, Ptolemy didn't think his well-meaning words had warranted that kind of a response from a total stranger. Unless, of course, this guy wasn't as much a stranger as he thought he was.
From the fellow's non-verbal communication - his facial expressions, tone of voice, body language - Ptolemaeus guessed something must have been up, but it was the use of the word 'power' that really got him interested. What was more was that Cassie seemed to respond to the word, too. Yup; there was definitely something more going on here than he was aware of. But now he was torn between getting to the bottom of the crisis with the abducting senshi and figuring out whatever mystery was lying right under his nose.
Well...maybe if he played his cards right, he could figure out both. He grinned casually at Cassie's question about whether the two guys knew each other. "Who knows? I'd have thought such a wild hairstyle would have stuck in my memory, but he's cursing like a past lover with a grudge and I've had too many of those to keep track."
Ptolemaeus returned his gaze to amber eyes and inquired, "So what're you trying to say? You've got power, but not the balls to stick around and use it? Or are you going to use your girlfriend as an excuse to leave because you need to 'protect her'?"

Rory Willows - Between Donation Gate and Vendor's Alley - With Axton and Pasi
There was a twitch of amusement curling on Rory's lips at Axton's concern for her. "I'm okay," she said softly, reassuringly, stepping away from the inebriated Pasi to touch one of Axton's arms. "I ran into a - " she looked back at the Finn with a slight frown. "A friend who needed my help, couldn't leave him alone." She shrugged like this was a usual thing for her.
Turquoise eyes flickered over to Kit as he appeared, offering him an apologetic smile as she tucked loose hair behind an ear. "Be careful, there's a lot going on," she called after Kit as he took off.
Shaking her head she returned her attention to Axton. "I can take care of myself Axton, don't worry. I'm okay." It was flattering that he'd decided he cared enough about her to worry about her well-being when s**t hit the fan. "I think maybe we should ride it out. If we try to go anywhere, we're just going to add to the chaos."
She chewed on her lip, surveying the area around them. She wouldn't leave Pasi, but she also didn't want to try and get him home when there were senshi running amok and a panicked crowd surrounding them all.

A WILD YOUMA ATTACKS
The snake creature hissed, long tongue darting from it's jagged mouth as it lifted the top half of it's body into the air. Beady eyes seemed to narrow as it made a garbled snarling noise from the back of it's throat when it hit the ground as the target dodged.
Clearly irritated, it reared again, this time slithering forward at an unnatural speed and snapping at the senshi's legs. It didn't stop there, quickly striking out with it's scorpion tail after, because it's reach was longer and more deadly.
Afterwards, the youma receded into itself, hissing quietly as it coiled.

Sailor Sparks and Jade Argent - secluded area - waiting for team roundup
Nerves threatened to get the better of Sparks as they crouched in front of Jade, gloved fingers pressing harshly against the lines of her jaw. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, dribbling down her chin, and a small flicker of concern passed across the senshi's face.
They'd acted impulsively, it wasn't supposed to go like this. Sparks had jeopardized the safety of their entire team and for what? To capture some woman in media spotlight for merely having a voice that spoke in favor of the Negaverse and whatever cause they brainwashed her into believing?
They should have never left Castilla's side, that had been the first mistake. The second had been the confrontation with Mr. Renegade, where they'd yelled and argued because he had to have had a hand in the mysterious way civilians were dropping left and right from exhaustion. It wasn't heat stroke.
There was no way.
But if Sparks was wrong and Jade wouldn't talk -
No. They refused to thread down those dark thoughts.
"Mr. Renegade had some very interesting things to say about you," they taunted, though Jade seemed a picture of unbreakable. Her blue eyes were bright but hardened, defiant. "Appears that strange things have been happening ever since the company signed you. What do you have to say about that?"
They tipped her head up until it was at an uncomfortable anger and their grip tightened.
Jade winced, but her lips remained pressed together. She would not break.
Angered, Sparks drew their hand back and slapped her across the face, just as Slyph's voice cut across the space. "Where's Umbra? I thought he was with you." There's a hint of panic in their voice and it's squashed almost immediate. "We need the others and go, before things get uglier." Gloved hands ran through their hair as Sparks stood, crossed the space between them and Slyph.
"Did you see Terre? I haven't heard from them yet." Which was a really bad sign.
Sparks began nervously picking at their gloves. "Come on guys."

Sailor Umbra - secluded area - heading for Sylph, Sparks, and Jade with Fiera
"Sorry to have to grab you and pull you along so suddenly, but we're in a hurry," Umbra attempted to apologize awkwardly, faintly feeling Fiera try to tug her hand out of his grip. "I know you can walk on your own, but we have to run and in this darkness, I can't be sure we won't lose each other again. You might have fire to light your way, but it'll attract unwanted attention, so we'll just have to rely on my shadows for now."
That was one good thing about the blackout - there was so much shadow everywhere for him to manipulate, he could move obstacles out of their path with no problem, feeling their way forward with his magic's tendrils of darkness. "At least I'm not carrying you," he told her, a trace of a smile in his voice.
Up ahead he thought he heard Sparks' voice and began to recognize their surroundings as the place he had left Sylph to go back and get Fiera. Umbra finally dared to slow his pace and loosened his grip on his teammates hand. It seemed Sylph had made it okay, but - was that Castalia?
"Castalia! Last thing we heard from you over the walkies was you yelling. You alright?" he asked. She seemed okay, but that still left Terre who was nowhere in sight.

Clay Mercer / with Cassie and Ptolemaeus
'Do you know each other?'
"No - I mean, I -" s**t, how was he supposed to explain this? "I ran into him before, like once, and he was an a*****e then, too. Look, don't let this dipshit waste his breath on you. Let's just get outta here -"
"… He's cursing like a past lover with a grudge…"
"The ******** are you on about, shitstain? I'd rather chew my own d**k off than date someone like you, even if I was gay - which I'm not." He snorted. "Look, I ain't sayin' s**t to you. Go stick your head up someone else's a**. I'm getting the hell outta here and I'm trying to make sure my 'girlfriend' won't get killed because you can't figure out when to shut the ******** up." Clay managed a few steps out from the pair, then opened his arms out in a 'what gives' gesture. "You with me, you with him? You goin' out on your own? Cuz I don't wanna stick around this joint while it's burning to the goddamn ground. Let shitheads like him get spitroasted out here."
Protect her? s**t, is that what this is gonna come down to? I gotta power up and beat his stupid a** by getting the girl to come with me? ******** sake, I got 99 problems but a b***h ain't one.
'Cept now she ********' is.

Ananke Fighting Wild Youma
With a couple of quick dodges Ananke was unable to fully get away from the tail attack as it tore threw her outfit leaving a gash on her side. "Tch." Alright so fighting head on was not going to work here... Ananke needed some time to think of a way to attack... and with that she ran off into the vendor stalls to see if she could work at this from another angle.
Ananke might have turned tail and tried to run off to find something to defend herself, but the youma was right on her trail. Low hisses and growls could be heard behind her, the darkness of the fairgrounds being an advantage for the prowling creature.
At one point, it had lost her but her scent was still thick in it's nose and it didn't take very long for it to find her again, having managed to slither in front of her and spring up a few feet away.

Sailor Fiera - Feeling rather embarrassed and worried
"Oh, um, yeah," She could feel her face flaming and could only bless the darkness. It was bad enough that she was being towed along like a child but if Umber saw her blushing and ever figured out why she would just die. It wasn't fair that she had a crush on him. It just wasn't. "But just this once." She liked the feel of her hand in his, so warm and comforting.
Fiera stumbled once when Umber mentioned carrying her. He laughed it off but for the young senshi it was harder to do so. She chuckled weakly, "Yeah. Good thing." It wasn't like she wanted to actually be carried by him. To be cradled against his chest like a princess. Nope. Not at all. Never. She was so wrapped up in her own thoughts that when Umber pulled away from her she fumbled for a moment, reaching out to him only to yank her hand back when she realized they had reached their destination and Umber let her go to talk to Castalia.
Of course he did, it wasn't like he would ever be interested in her. She was just a short, uncute, hothead. Absently biting her lip the senshi glanced around and saw most of her teammates; Umber and Castalia of course, there was Sparks and the lady this whole thing was about, Sylph and... "Wait. Where is Terre?" Her 'teammate' was missing. She had been paired up with the other for this mission and had lost her almost immediately after getting into the concert. Now Terre is the only one not here. Fiera had let her down. "Has anyone heard from her?"
When the Youma reappeared in front of her she knew there was no way she was going to easily get around this thing... so she decided the best course of action was to keep on running towards it. "Hrryyaa!" And with a yell Ananke swung her fist using the momentum from the sprint right at the monster's mid area that appeared in front of her.
