Welcome to Gaia! ::

Captain Angelite

The fact that they were being led into yet another room was far from promising to the older woman. They'd already been herded like cattle from puzzle to puzzle, most of which inflicted more pain than challenge to the majority of players.

She'd quietly watched them all, Negaverse agent and senshi alike, as they struggled to unlock the mystery that let them in from room to room. It seemed like a futile effort, like an endless wave of rooms after rooms.

When the computer spoke and began processing questions, the blonde Captain was skeptical. The offering of the pad wasn't impressive - another trap, perhaps? Why on Earth would they trust a machine - technology - when it very well could have been that same technology that had kidnapped them all in the first place?

All around her, young and old faces alike were asking it questions - trivial, stupid questions - but she listened without adding in her own perplexing thoughts. Best the device not know of all of their insecurities, after all.

Her arms folded themselves across her chest as blue eyes searched the room for any and all familiar faces. There were more senshi than she was comfortable counting - who was to say that it wasn't some bizarre trapped laid out by them and they'd gotten caught up in it? Or the knights - had the knights devised a diversion that had gone awry?

There were several Negaverse agents mulling around the room, including one rather large looking youma. For a monster to be caught up in all of this too...

Well, it just made things all the more curious.

She spotted Zircon and her underlings, along with a young blue corrupt that she hadn't recognized from their earlier conversations. They survived?

Good on them.

Sodom

Being away from all the kids and teenagers suited Sodom just fine, choosing to find his way towards the outskirts of the group, nestled against the wall with the only ******** that made sense in this place. As Noa--Gomorrah pressed into him, thick fingers rose up to tangle in messy red hair as his head turned to press chapped lips against the pale temple next to him.

The idiot comment brought about a lopsided grin, dull fingernails digging gently into the scalp of his lover's head as eyes idly watched the conversation around them.

"We'll get home, soon enough," he murmured, chancing the moment to relax into the taller man's body. "I'll even let you play nurse, after we get cleaned up."

DMC Itokawa

The female who approached him gained the dark eyed teens interest, if only because no one else had approached him, but most of what she said he didn't get. He did however, and thankfully, get the gist of it and nodded his head. She felt like the one who had brought him in, had helped him become this, so she was likely safe. Acubens was her name...something to look up another time. "Itokawa..."

Letting her, for now, continue to hold onto his hand he was hoping that having this stronger presence around would be good for him, not that anything bad had happened to him thus far, he was hoping she would have some clue as to what was going on as he was clueless really. He was still waiting, hopefully, for the thing to answer him and fill him in on things in a language he understood. Itokawa was really hoping not to be so clueless, as it seemed rather important to not be clueless with what was going on.

"Now what?"

"Alphubel!" Hadaya mewed excitedly as his friend came over to them, leaping away from Camelot to greet Alphubel properly. He rubbed and weaved his way around the knight's legs, purring up a storm. He wanted to tell his story about the cat beam again, but he noticed the strange look on the other's face.

"Are... you okay?" Hadaya asked with honest concern, sitting back on his haunches and reaching his paw up to touch Alphubel's leg. He was not great at standing on his back feet, but he wanted to get as close as he could.

Camelot looked at the other knight with a patient smile, trying to seem as reassuring and calm as possible. He knew this whole thing could be very stressful, and not everyone had been kidnapped by magical beings quite as many times as he had.

When Phaethon came over, Camelot breathed a sigh of relief.

"I would not mind the help, thank you very much," he said with an appreciative nod. He moved to get up slowly, grimacing in pain and wishing his armor were not quite so heavy. Usually, he barely noticed it, but when he was tired it always felt like it was made of solid stone.

Knight Alphubel

Alphubel shook his head, seemingly snapping out of his crazed state as Hadaya tried to comfort him. His face went red, but he was glad that the older knight didn't seem to try to get rid of him or was disgusted. That was good. He looked down at the cat he had met so often, and bent down to pick the kitty up. "I'm... okay. Just freaked out a bit. I would rather be home than here." He responded honestly. Sure, he had been in some strange places that meant death, but at least they were places he was sure had some exit, even if they were hard to get to.

This place though... he couldn't be sure that they were still even in the obelisk in the park. And even if they were, an obelisk was much harder to get through than what he had been in before. He pet the cat a bit, gaining some comfort from it. "I'm glad you and Camelot are here Hadaya."



General Arsenopyrite

Arseno had quietly wandered over to Benitoite for two reasons. One, he wanted to be near his old General. After all, they had been through a lot and Beni had always been a comfort in times of stress. But the other reason was so that he could be closer to Mithra and not make it look like that was his real aim in wandering over.

He had winced when she had questioned Delta, and had to agree more with Fafnir's assessment of the situation. Who the f cared about what Delta was or what it's purpose or whatever, how did they get out of here was the real question. If he didn't get an answer soon, then he was going to start picking at the walls with his weapon to see if he could break out.

Arseno nodded to Benitoite. "I'm not liking this one bit." He said so the other could hear him, and then turned to watch for whatever Delta was about to do next.

DMS Super Mithra

Mithra was delighted when Arseno had made his way over, though he only lightly brushed up against her had, at least they were doing this together, even if they couldn't acknowledge it. And of course, the thing's answer made her furious, mostly because it still didn't answer her question. It seemed to be evading it instead. She furiously whispered "That is NOT an answer. This thing apparently knows how to dodge questions when it really wants to." to no one in particular, but hoping that at least Arseno had heard it since Acubens had wandered away, something that Mithra was not happy about.

She had been glad that someone asked the question that everyone was really wondering, but of course as expected, they weren't allowed to just walk out the door. There would be more to this, that was for sure. They would not be getting out of here unless it was through fighting. And the way that the thing was reacting, something was definitely going to happen. A little louder Mithra said, "I really hope this thing starts attacking so we can kill it. I would love for it not to be able to go back. No mercy." Her hands were already fists and she would be willing to go and sacrifice herself if she could just lay one hand on the **** thing's operating system to shut it down for good.

General Benitoite

Surprised by some of the answers it was nothing compared to his surprise at the very end. Oh...this was interesting. Turning his focus onto his fellow General the smaller of the two smiled up at the other. "it's good to see you, you're well I hope?" In case they needed to fight their way out of here, though he had a feeling it might not be as they thought it would be. He was also, understandably, concerned for one of his own. Arsenopyrite might be a General but he was still one of his children, and he'd be keeping the other safe, and anything which might try and harm the other had better be prepared for the fight the small blond would put up.

"I'm not either...but are you noticing what I am? It seems to have...a conscious or at least something similar. An ability to perhaps learn and gain feelings. That last part...I think something is mad at it and Delta doesn't want us harmed." He whispered, being sure to keep his voice low. "We can use that to our advantage...play with emotions and feelings here. If we pit one against the other we might be able to get out...or at least learn more and gain an ally in Delta."

That in mind the blond decided it was time to speak up, to start trying to swing this in their favor, or so he hoped. "You've gone through our internet you said. What do you think of it? Of what people here are like? I'm curious....do you talk to many of the beings that are to be contained? Do you look into their cultures? Where any of them like us here on Earth?" He hoped others might catch onto his game and join in, aim questions, bring up topics, anything to try and swing this to their favor as he saw this as a potential opening.

Glancing once towards his fellow General, hoping the other understood what he was doing. Benitoite mentally had his fingers crossed on this play of his, he really did.

They had a big screen like that and they couldn't even play video games on it?

Anser frowned.

What was the point then?

"Es triste..." murmured Anser, letting the wheels turn in her head. Maybe there was some way to hook the screen up to something else? Certainly the screen was hooked up to something that was feeding it the stuff to display. Then again, she supposed it could be like those cool surface computers or those computers in those tables where the screen was the computer, which meant that all that it could do was show that data.

What did that data even say? It was all in ... some other language. Definitely not a language she could recognize. It was probably Alienese.

Maybe if she could find out what was on the screen, she could figure out how to disconnect it!

"¿Qué datos tiene la --"

Her voice gradually got slower as she got distracted by the fact that the child AI suddenly didn't seem to be looking at them at all. And then the screen turned red.

Very red.

"¡¿Por qué la pantalla es roja?!"
