Welcome to Gaia! ::

Iris' lips puckered for a moment so she could whistle at the attitude that the blue haired amazon was shoving in her face. "There ain't anythin' wrong with me... what's wrong with you is more like it."

She pointed to the dirtied black bow on the other senshi's chest. "That ain't spit." In an ever classy display, she then let out a rather throaty sound as if she was preparing to spit out a loogey. "If ya want me t'spit at ya... I can do it..."

The blonde decided to stuff several more chips in her mouth, crunching them loudly as if to spite the other girl. With a slight roll of her gold eyes, she then grabbed a handful of chips and shoved them at Eunomia's face. Something resembling the words of "Jus' eat somethin'!" seemed to come from this eternal senshi's mouth, mixed with loud crunches.

Directly following the battle, in the midst of the wonder and joy at the cleansing of The Surrounding, Sailor Nyx had been vibrant with her emotions. She jumped and cheered and delivered high-fives all around. She had accepted the loss of the civilians during battle and didn't look back. All the same, she celebrated all over again when word came back from their soggy little blue-and-green planet that some merciful cosmic power had given them life again. This place wasn't Earth and it actually, truly belonged to the Zodiacs, but she had quickly become sentimental for it. Chaos could be defeated; this was proof. The life she was thrown into as a sailor soldier held merit. They were strong and just!

Just as importantly, it held hope.

Now, Nyx stood near a window, quietly nursing a drink and looking out into space. The rainbow road was as lovely (and a bit silly) as ever, beaming proudly as it now connected The Surrounding as it was intended. The adrenalin had begun to smolder in her veins. She was tired, but it was a good tired -- one that came after exhausting work and satisfaction. It hadn't been long since her biggest problem was studying and barn mice.

Pasiphae had wandered off elsewhere while Nyx had gotten her drink. It had taken awhile to find something non-alcoholic, though, in the end, she was grateful for a quiet moment alone it afforded her in front of the window. "The space window," she thought, stifling a cheery laugh. She fiddled a bit with the passport Soldier Virgo had given her: a token that allowed her to revisit this place.

However, it was not the time for quiet contemplation. The Chronos Page running around proved that. There would hopefully be time for that before school started after a very long night's sleep. Now was the time to party! (And ask about these wing'd buttbows, but mostly party.)

********* was still hugging onto a toy cat on Hygiea's lap when something seemed to catch her attention. However, she wasn't exactly of the overly mobile variety at the moment. Too pooped to want to wander.

So instead, the guardian simply called out in a decently loud voice "Hey, Sailor Hephaistos! Could you come over here for a moment?!" Had she ever really met this boy before? No. There were advantages to being a guardian cat, such as being able to know a senshi's name.

From her spot, she mewled out tiredly.

Stopping Hephaistos pointed at his chest, "Me?" It was half joke half confusion, a cat that wasn't Chloe was calling out for his attention from the lap of a Chibi Senshi. Offering a shrug he walked over to the two crouching down a bit to see them both more at eye level. "I'm the only metal craft senshi here so I guess you mean me?"

He did indeed have one of the better Fuku's for a guy. Chainmail ran along his body and the fuku its self was simply bits of cloth in the style of full sized ones. He tilted his head nodding politely to the cat before taking a proper knee to pass the pen over summoned from his subspace of storage.

"A pleasure *********, but... " He held the pen to her smiling softly, "A tiny fuzzy friend Chloe gave this to me. You don't plan on doing anything crazy with it right?" Of course he was a noob still in some aspects, Chloe hath given him a pen, he had no clue another cat or Chloe could do even more with it.

In a nearly kittenish manner, ********* grabbed onto the pen once it drew close with all of her paws. "By 'tiny fuzzy friend,' you mean a cat like myself, yes?"

Most certainly, Hygiea's ears probably grew three times in size at the mention of yet another cat and she was probably noting the name down for a later feline hunt. ********* could only imagine, since this child was the biggest cat fan she had met in a long while.

"Normally I would get up for something like this... but I'm a bit tired."

With that, the manx closed her eyes and began to concentrate on the item between her four paws. Despite the boy's request for her to not do anything crazy with it, she couldn't necessarily keep any promise of that variety. The henshin pen began to glow, then change shape as she continued to hold onto the object.

Once the object had finished its metamorphosis, the glow dimmed to reveal what almost seemed like a brand new pen.

"Here you go! This is yours... if you are feeling adventurous, call out 'Hephaistos Asteroid Power Make-Up!' If not... then remember that for another time."

Even as ********* took the pen the older Senshi reached over to ruffle the hair of Hygiea grinning, "Hello there little one. It seems ********* here needs to borrow my pen for a moment, you don't mind no?"

Soon enough he was back to the cat blinking, "Well Chloe to be exact, she's like a hitch hikers guide except much more witty and rather cute compared to a book." Moving back just a bit he watched curiously as the pen started to glow and shift causing his mouth to work in a small oooo. Suddenly it was brand new, being held out to him, and slowly he took it.

Turning it over he cocked his head to the side before holding it up, "Hephaistos... Asteroid...Power... Make-Up!" In a flash that was followed by a faint chime of hammers on metal. Silver shoulders shifted and grew turning to gold, gloves went from cloth to a light gold leather, a cape and sash falling down his chest as his Fuku seemed to spawn a ribbon like trail behind it.

Super Sailor Hephaistos had arrived.

Blinking he looked down at the pen before it vanished back into his subspace, then to Hygiea, "Apparently ********* thought I needed some new clothes." It was a joke, he could feel something more then just an outfit, a boost, a glow deep inside.

He felt ********, but lets not say that in front of the chibis now shall we?
