Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sailor Eros, a safe distance from the cloaked man

In a matter of moments it seemed, more senshi and what she figured were knights had gathered than she had known existed, and all in one, now crowded, place. The strange figure still hadn't said anything and the winged man was still there, but there were so many more now...

Hearing herself addressed, Eros blinked and glanced over, finding a senshi girl a good deal younger than herself. Pink hair, a skirt that looked like a melon, and white wings from her lower back...

"Ah, yeah. I don't know what it was, but it was strange, huh? Looks like we weren't the only ones, either. I wonder what's going on..." Fingers found their way into her hair as the short woman glanced about, taking in the abundance of colors and shapes and styles, all different, all unique. It was... amazing, frankly. Incredible. No one she recognized, really, except... Ah, yeah, over there.

The tallk knight was with a cluster of others and she pulled his name out of the memory of a fight on a roof top he'd saved her from. Scholomance. It made her feel a smidge better, knowing someone in this crowd. Then she caught a sudden mop of blonde dreads making its way towards her and Eros's face fell, her shoulders stiffening as she drew into herself.

"Yo." She greeted her flatmate, her arms lifting to lace fingers behind her head. Eros's eyes drop to watch one boot heel shuffle in the grass, grinding the stalks into the dirt. "Yeah. Weird."

It had been a while since their fight, but just seeing him again made her chest ache and her stomach knot up. She didn't want to deal with Puck right now and very suddenly wished she hadn't let herself get pulled out to the middle of nowhere by some strange feeling.

Sailor Janus of Locks

Oscar had just finished his shift at the gym. He was planning on doing his own workout in before heading home and crashing. Turns out Destiny City had it's own plans.

The feeling wasn't like one he had experienced before and he knew he had to go. He ducked out of the gym, disappeared down an alley and reappeared moments later as Sailor Janus.

He was still getting the hang of things, luckily he'd met some people on his return that were helping him out. Janus turned to where the aura was coming from and made his way.

"Woah," he said, there were a lot of people here. At the centre of the bustle he figured was whatever it was that had drawn them to this place, he couldn't quite make out what or who it was.

He looked around for a familiar face but there were so many he gave up moments later and decided to hang near the back and watch, for now.

(( Feel free to quote me! n_n; ))

Sailor Iduna

She looked at up at him and smiled. "Thank you Mr. You seemed like the most powerful of them so.... figure if this all goes very wrong I'll be safe here!" Iduna tucked her hands behind her back and hid beneath his wings because like heck was she going to go stand in front of the creepy cloak guy. That was dangerous okay.

She did happen to spot Cadmus in the group which eased some of her fear. At least she knew someone! Kind of! She'd fought a monster with him after all. He was still a complete brat and she was kind of happy to stand with Castor and not the chibi of cranberries.

But it was nice to know he was there.

Europa

"Yeah, well..." Europa sighed uncomfortably at Ganymede's mention of how long it had been since they'd seen each other. That was her own fault, she thought - she'd been back in town for months and made no attempt to reach out. "I've been busy."

Which was a big, fat lie if she'd ever told one. She'd finished her last semester of college weeks ago. It wasn't like she had work - there was zero demand for swim lessons in the dead of winter. Her days were occupied by studying for the GRE and the MCAT. Her nights were occupied by half-assed attempts at patrol.

She had had literally all the time in the world to text Paris the word sup?

And she hadn't.

Because she was terrible.

"As these things go," she said to Valhalla, "I'd say there's a fifty percent chance it's going to turn into something massive and terrible that we have to fight."

She waved to the Eternal senshi who'd just taken up a spot on Valhalla's other side, along with the Martian squire who'd come up around the same time.. "Hi," said Europa, raising her voice a bit to make up for the distance of two people between them. Ganymede's ruffles made the gap a bit wider than it would have been otherwise, since she didn't want to stand on the hem of the princess's dress (quelle gauche). "I'm Europa."

Scholomance Squire of Saturn

"S... Something like that. I was just intending to go to my wonder, and I felt this person's aura. It wasn't so much a pull as a curiosity, I think. It's not every day you feel something so strange and far-reaching." The sneeze caught his attention, but Scholomance bade nothing in response. Already he was distracted by Methone's appearance, to which he nodded somewhat nervously. The restless energy raised a tremor in his hands, which he kept firmly in check on his bone cane.

More arrived to Thraen's periphery, which lent further anixiety to the squire. Slowly he closed his eyes and drew a breath in an attempt to banish the prickling stars at the corners of his eyes. He knew the signs - the numbness, the radio noise, the lack of slgiht - and that he would be entirely useless if he suffered a panic attack now. Each of them had viable abilities for use in a pinch, and each had at least some idea of how to use them - even himself, although with that came the worry of being called on in an integral moment. But now wasn't the time to focus on what-ifs that may never come to pass.

Aokigahara stole his attention upon arrival, and Scholomance broke his concentration before the prickling in his vision fully abated. "I don't know what it is," he offered back. "There are normal instances of people gathering around a central figure - oratories, presentations, performances and the like - but this doesn't fit any of those pre-established notions. Or if it does, none of us are aware of it right now. All of this is..." 'Strange', he wanted to say, but 'stressful' sounded more appropriate. "I don't know. 'Wait and see' sounds like the best course of action."

Or get out before you die.

"Does anyone around have the ability to hit their homeworld right now? If we're all about to get nuked, it would be best to know who can go and stay close to them." He swallowed thickly.







Faust, Guardian Cat

Most continued to speak around him, and Faust was quite successful at blotting them out. The feline's gaze remained focused on the entity in the center of the gathering. Hardly did they blink, and only in exceedingly necessary situations. Faust stared quite intently and had no intention of breaking his watch. Only when Harmonia approached him did he decide to tear his gaze away.

"Yo," he called to the super senshi. "You look damn good as a super. An' all I can tell you right now is there's this dude here, and he's sittin', and he feels funny. An' no one else knows what's goin' on."

Sabine followed Phact's gaze for the most part, but was quick to bring her eyes back to the page. After all, this was not her first time meeting a page, though her other... meetings had gone far less swimmingly. She was interested in the flute however, it was her first time actually seeing a page's weapon.

It was interesting that was for sure.

"I'm Sailor Sabine, Senshi of Tactics." She said, giving the page a polite curtsey. "It is ince to meet you Slievenamon." She said the name slowly to ensure she did not butcher the pronunciation.

"I haven't been a senshi for near as long as Phact, but I will do my best to help you out however I can."

Slievenamon, Page of Neptune

The page didn't even know where to begin. She eyed the shell flute in her hand and sighed. It came to her in a low point of her life, but not before thrusting her into the fray of an underbelly she knew nothing about. Fear still tinged her bosom, but also the desire to learn. A friendly hand—as Phact had offered—was all she needed now. Slieve was more than thankful for that.

She glanced over towards the cloaked figure and the prince-like, winged male. They certainly stood out from the rest, at least, with a certain majesty she couldn't describe. "Ah, I see, I see..." So there was a hierarchy here? Were they the leaders of this cult? Before she could ask about them, her eyes widened. Three years? Three years? This thing has been going on for that long?! "I've been, err, I've been a page about a week, give or take..." she said rather offhandedly. "A-and it is. It truly is. So much to learn, so much to take in..."

Her hand trembled at the idea of learning more.

Looking to Sabine, she bowed in a less than formal way, but still wore that welcoming smile on her face. "Nice to meet you too, Sabine" she said cheerily. "And that's so, so good to hear. I'm so new to this, so hearing that is like a breath of fresh air."

Sailor Cadmus, Chibi Senshi of Cranberries

Sailor Cadmus had busied himself with studying the others groups brimming with conversation. When his eyes landed on the familiar Iduna, he figured a wave would be too obvious, so he stuck out his tongue and pulled down his eyelid at her teasingly before turning away.

Upon doing so, someone had introduced themselves. Calm after seeing someone he was sorta acquianted with, Cadmus sat a hand on his hip and thrust his thumb into his chest with the other. "I'm Cadmus, chibi senshi of cranberries," he said. "Nice ta meetcha, senshi of dough. Well, Fornax!"
