He was unconcerned with what the cloaked man's name was and more concerned with where he was stuck, and how long. Quail's eyes narrowed a little as he looked to the cloaked figure before looking back at the two he was questioning.
"Aegir? I'm Quail's eye." He took Virgo's hand and then gave it a little bow and tried to get his face to get a bit more gentle looking.
"I don't trust anyone who says we need to drain energy into a crystal. It's very Negaverse like. I've never heard of senshi doing this.." He was speaking in hushed tones incase the guy named Sword came around or anyone who didn't share this opinion. Apparently because he wasn't a senshi or a knight or anything like that, he was a target of suspicion. He couldn't blame them, honestly.. He didn't exactly understand where he fell in the grand scheme of things, but he thought he fell into the Order aligned side.
"I.. don't trust him." Obvious.

Slievenamon, Page of Neptune
Slievenamon giggled behind a gloved hand at the affectionate display between the two fellow knights. It was absolutely adorable, but also quite interesting to see love come together in such times of duress.
"I hope so as well," Slievenamon said to Phact. "It's been quite a while... The energy collected must have been enough," she tacked on to Erebus's questions. "But it also feels rather quick as well. I thought it'd take longer... A few months, maybe a year. However, if people really believed in Caedus's cause, then they must have also went into overdrive collecting energy."
She gave a wry look at Sabine's pithy words, but said nothing even though she was in agreement. It was right of her to put the person in their place.

Gevaudan, Knight of Ganymede
he looked over to Slievenamon and quirked a eyebrow at him. "Why wouldn't I be?" He said, a question to his question. If anything, he felt more ready than anyone else. The place wasn't new to him.
To Sabine, he looked her over. "You act as if I was addressing you. I don't recall introducing myself because you weren't included in the conversation. But if you are insisting, it is Gevaudan."
He then smiled, flashing her teeth at her nativity. "Do you always take the face value speech of any cloaked stranger? How do you even know of it's virtue when all he has given you is words and a crystal? He isn't the first alien around here to land on earth desiring something. I'd curb your willingness to please. I think you forget, he isn't doing this to be charitable. He needs the energy, and he wants revenge. If anything, each side is using the other."
"Sir....." He shook his head. What a bunch of lap dogs.
Arthur the guardian cat
Arthur found his perk on Phact's shoulders and made himself comfortable as the place buzzed with chatter.
"Is....there any sort of plan?"

Aegir, Super of Silence
The curly haired senshi cocked his head a bit, trying to not stare at...Quail's eye? It was legitimately the sort of thing he might have expected from an episode of Star Trek - so this guy was definitely an alien. Neat. Stop, be serious. He watched Mr. Pointyears trying to school his expression to something less flinty, trying himself to keep from breaking into a grin. Serious business, and all that.
"Same here. I took one, but only to give to one of the Mauvian's for research...which hasn't done much, but that's not her fault." All research had been inconclusive, save that the crystals did in fact behave as Caedus stated - to what true end, they couldn't have said. "The whole thing screams trap." And coming from Aegir, who always tried to give people the benefit of the doubt and indeed often took others at their word, that was pretty bad. "Even if everything he says is true...it'd be a suicide mission."
Aegir nodded surreptitiously towards Gevaudan, voice low so it wouldn't carry. This wasn't a public conversation, really. "He was saying that, last time."
Saint Sergio
BUT HIS EARS ARE ADORABLE AND HE WOULD LIKE TO TOUCH THEM o3o VULCAN EARS
If Sabine were a cat, her fur would have fluffed out, instead, much like the majestic puffer fish, her cheeks puffed out instead in frustration and annoyance. Letting out a slow breath of air, she mentally counted to ten before she continued.
"Have you spoken to him? One-on-one? I can't speak for past events, I'm relatively new to this so forgive me, if you view me as naive, I assure you, if Sir Caedus had not spoken to me, one-to-one, as an equal, then I would more than likely think as you do. But he has given me reason to trust him, and that his intent is pure. He just wants to go home. Who wouldn't want to get revenge after being imprisoned wrongly for who knows how long."
She forced herself to remain still, knowing that she would do something quite unladylike if she took a step forward. "Yes, he needs energy for the portal. Energy I was more than happy to help provide for a poor lost soul. A guest to our planet - if I may remind you, Sir Gevaudan."
Crossing her arms under her chest, she gave the knight a cold glare. "Also, regardless of the fact of whether or not you addressed me, you were being rude. If you aren't prepared to be called out in such a manner, then perhaps you should keep your mouth closed."
She eyed Phact, wanting to gauge if she was going too far. If Phact said stand down, she would back off. But this knight was asking for it... HARD.

Soldier Virgo, Zodiac Soldier of Innocence
"The Negaverse never plays fair," said Virgo. She didn't care if her voice carried, but out of respect for the Super senshi at her side, she kept on using her inside voice. "There were several planets in my homeworld's Hegemony who performed ritual sacrifice such as this, though I don't know--or remember--the medium."
She looked anew at Quail's Eye. "You're one of Helios's," she said. "Weren't there three of you? Leopard, Seal, and Quail?" She shook her head. "Nevermind. Anything to do with the Negaverse is suicide if you don't go in ready to kill. This isn't any different. Still, there's no reason to be stupid."

Super Sailor Phact, Senshi of Doves Gevaudan's question might have been direction but Sabine's reaction made Phact sigh and cross her arms under her chest. With Arthur on her shoulders, the senshi of doves made sure she stood clear of the spat that was taking place.
"Sabine, are you not now being disrespectful to another?" She asked more as a teacher than anything. She understood the drive behind the young girl but they did not need to be fighting among themselves. Not when so much was going on. "Someone who has their own story as much as Caedus?"
Shaking her head, her attention went back to Slievenamon. "I too did not expect it to be this quick. But everyone here. Everyone that was at the first meeting must have felt something to work quickly. Or maybe it does not take as much energy as we believed to open a portal."
To all, especially Arthur, she nodded. "For now we wait and see. Should this portal truly open, we stick together. I promised you all before I would do my best of my ability to keep you safe. We do not know what is on the other side but it does sound like someone might..." She stated, eyes looking at Gevaudan.

"If it isn't a trap, then there has to be some other alternative than gathering the energy from the civilians..." He put fingers to his lip as he tried to think and his ears wiggled a little as Virgo mentioned Helios.
He looked surprised. It wasn't every day he met someone who knew that time. "...Yes. That's right. Apparently Seal is back," and he shrugged that off. The time wasn't now to talk about his past. He looked around at the others who had managed to gather and shook his head. He got a really bad feeling about all this in his gut. Something wasn't going to go right and consequences would have to be paid.
"What happens if it doesn't work? This.. guy doesn't do what he says? We'll be left with the balance shifting even more to the Chaos side of things, won't we?" There were already so many different aspects of Chaos that tipped the scale in their favor. "What if this is a way for the Negaverse to gather the Prince and Princesses to try to eliminate them at once so we're suffering losses from our powerhouses?" Worried Quail mode was activated and he fluffed up pretty much like a bird would.
"Sorry, there's just.. so much information I'm missing, I think."
"I was speaking to a fellow knight to gauge his feeling about what is bound to be a pressing battle." He turned now to look at her. "I'm not here to coddle feelings, and I'm not here to entertain the soft, tender emotions of some new senshi who jumps to conclusions and feels I'm here to have afternoon tea with her."
He took a step towards her and stopped. "Now if I may remind you, Sabine, it could also be rude to butt into a conversation you were never invited into and to speak of things you just admitted you don't have enough experience in knowing. If you want to call me out on my manners, how about you have some authority to back that up?"
resuming his spot from before, he crossed his arms and looked to the other senshi. "Someone might. Who the hell are you?"

He had never been in a battle before and wasn't sure what he could even do. "What should I do?"

Listening to Phact and than Sabine, who was going back and forth with Gevaudan, he felt like rolling his eyes and hiding his face in Erebus' chest until it stopped. Instead the page finally spoke up, his dark eyes on his fellow Ganymede knight and Sabine.
"Sabine, it is ok he does not trust. Fall off horse once can make weary." He said hoping she would understand. Not everyone would trust Caedus, though he himself did despite what some had told him and even scolded him for. He did trust him, especially because they were both in a foreign place.
Then he spoke to his fellow Ganymede knight. "Am ready if need be. Hope not but it may not be tonight." he spoke nodding his head once. They may not be ready to go tonight, though why else call this gathering? He had to think that was the reason for it, as much as he was nervous about it. "What are we against? What do you know?" He asked hoping he could at least find out more so he didn't go in so blind. He wanted to get home from all of this, he couldn't leave his family suddenly. He needed to make it out of this, as did everyone else but he worried for his family - selfish as it was.
As Phact asked about Gevaudan and what he may, or may not, know he kept quiet. He wasn't about to say that the other likely knew a lot, or that he had once been on the other side - not his place to. Instead he focused on the group and decided to just listen for now, he'd said his part.

Venice is trying to be nice. let's all get along for now?
MoonKitsune
Yup, Neko's knight Erebus is right there. Venice is sharing his coat, and body heat, with him. Erebus makes a nice human teddy bear for Venice.
It grated on her nerves, but when Phact spoke up, she let out a slow breath of air and forced herself to take a step back from the situation. "You are correct, Phact, I too ended up becoming rude to a stranger. That was very impolite of me, I apologize for my shameful display."
Notably absent, was a direct apology to Gevaudan. Whom, Sabine felt, did not deserve one. All the same, when Venice spoke she turned slightly and bowed her head. "Well let us hope that this horse is much gentler to his sore backside."
With that, she looked to Phact, bowing her head again in deference. Phact had spoken, she would do her best to be less thorny from now on.

Super Sailor Thrymr, Senshi of the Southern Lights
He had returned once more to the hillside, though he felt uncertain about doing so. Thrymr had gotten a crystal at Aegir's request, but had not touched it with his bare hands, nor gotten one for himself; instead, he had handed over the singular one retrieved for scrutinization.
The idea of attempting to take someone else's energy left a bad taste in Thrymr's mouth, made him wary, hesitant to follow. It wasn't so much that he was distrustful of the man called Caedus; but he still didn't understand a great deal of what was happening, and did not want to risk anything in case it turned out to be wrong.
There were others already gathered by the time that Thrymr arrived. He passed Aegir on his way in and leaned up to give him a brief kiss on the cheek in greeting before he kept walking, flashing him a reassuring smile as he did so.
He stopped somewhere in the middle of the crowd, peering around curiously, and let his gaze land on the man in front of them.

Celsus Knight of Chronos
If he was aware of Bifrost's presence, he didn't show it. In fact, Celsus showed no indication at all that he was even aware that there were people in the crowd other than himself and the man that stood at the front, cloaked and curious. His gaunt, hollowed face was devoid of almost all expression, and his green eyes were flat and dull.
He took several steps forward, away from her and the others, and said to Caedus, in a low voice,
"So you're still here?"
It was said quietly, almost softly. Celsus shifted, his cape rustling against the grass.
"Are we to...set things in motion, now? Is that it?"

Sailor Remus, Senshi of Regolith
He wondered, for what was probably the third time in as many minutes, what the hell he was doing here again.
It was not as though he could have given two shits about what was happening. He probably should have; Remus was now a part of all of this...magical mumbo jumbo now, or whatever it was that one called being a senshi. And while he did enjoy it and found it to be kind of cool, maybe, having all these new things to consider, Remus wasn't one hundred percent certain that he was even doing things right.
Trial by error, right?
Remus stood with his hands linked together against the back of his head, rocking back and forth. He supposed he could be doing something productive, like actually listening to what was happening or something, but instead he stood there and watched instead.
Maybe if they were lucky, they'd get something even cooler this time, something better than rocks.

Erebus, Squire of Saturn
It was almost like a tennis match watching the argument going on between Sabine and Gevaudan, with Phact being the exasperated referee at times. He did turn his head to Slievenamon when she said she thought it would take a bit longer and nodded. "I thought so as well but maybe since a lot of us were doing this we got it done faster?"
He absentmindedly started to rub Venice's back as he turned his attention back to the argument going on when the male in his arms spoke up again. He wasn't happy about the reminder that they could get killed, that Venice could get killed, but it was the truth and all he could do would be to try his best to make sure they got home safely. "It could be that we are gathered here to return the crystals but he could need more time to actually open the portal as well."

Nirvana, Page of Pluto
Since there meeting, Nirvana had taken his time with gathering energy. He had given his fair share each night, making certain that he only gave until he was fatigued enough to sleep. It was the least he could do, and if it would get them into the Castle he would be more than pleased with that.
He walked along toward the meeting place. Feeling the tug on himself as he did so. Caedus was calling them, and he would listen. It was part of the plan and if they were to succeed, he needed to trust the visitor at least a bit.
He smiled to himself as he thought back on the past few nights. There had been so many questions from his family, questions as to why he was out so late, why he was tired. His mother assumed it was classes, his father...well, his father assumed it was a girl.
He laughed to himself and shook his head as he neared the group. Noticing the familiar faces there as he came closer. He lifted one hand in greeting, he smiling warmly at them all and walking up beside there would be leader. "Friends, greetings." He tried his best to say neutral, not wanting to get involved in any sort of drama that might be happening.
These last few nights had been a time of reflection for Kastra. She had learned a great deal about accepting herself and her beliefs, and in so doing she had a better grasp on her own strength and worth in this battle.
Phact had said it was fine to be a healer, a helper, and that is what she was. Though her training as of late was only in the art of music, she had dreams of one day becoming a healer in traditional medicine.
She walked now, with her new companion at her side. She lightly petting the large Savannah's head as she walked on. She had grown rather attached to this young guardian in the last few nights. If nothing else he was a lovely creature to speak with.
"Now we need to be respectful tonight, Mel. The man we go to meet is soft spoken and wise. He will answer questions, but we cannot blurt them out alright?" Her voice was calm, like a whispering bell in his ears as she neared the group that she had found herself a part of. They all seemed to be talking, and she hoped she was not interrupting. "Also, stay by my side. I do not know what will happen here, but things feel a bit more tense tonight than the last time." He eyed the sky above them, she taking in a deep breath to calm herself before moving toward the group once more.
"Our friends are already here...I guess we are running a bit late, hmm?" She grinned, scratching the cat behind his ears.
Myrrha held back the giggle that she wanted to let out at Sabine's curtsy but she refrained. She nodded to Sabine before taking a moment to study the other senshi. Speaking softly Myrrha held out her hand, "I'm Sailor Myrrha of Scents. I can say the feeling is mutual."
Myrrha let her gaze travel across the growing crowd before she dug into her pack. Leaving her crystal at the bottom of the bag she withdrew a bottle of water and twisted the cap off. Perhaps running here had not been the greatest idea. "Excuse me for a moment Sabine."
Looking around as she quenched her thirst Myrrha caught sight of Cassiopeia and returned the wave that the other senshi gave her. Perhaps she'd head over there next. Although it looked like it would have to wait. Myrrha watched another senshi join their group and she gave her a tilt of her head to acknowledge her nod towards her. (Phact)
Myrrha gaze followed the conversation as best as she could before watching more people join them. Her gaze tracked back to the direction she had seen Cassiopeia and frowned as voices around her began to rise. She would stick this out and instead of getting sucked into the argument turned to the one that had nodded to her earlier and stuck out her hand, "Hello I am Myrrha, the senshi of scents."
