Home Helper Sapient Machine, Something Domestic (NPC)
MOOD: Celebratory ACTION: Greeting Ash!Today was a day of momentous joy. They had all passed the trials. This planet was restored in such a way it satisfied the conditions, checking off each box that was required to allow them to continue to live on even if their bodies would betray them. It could hardly contain its excitement; a tentacled extension wicked in the air with perhaps unneeded enthusiasm, greeting those who were honored guests to their universal victory. It seemed that some of the organics in front of them were taking a slower approach. Had it not shown its excitement in a satisfying manner? A second appendage was revealed and wiggled, just in case. It seemed that at least one of the organics took the invitation, with others following, but its eyes were on the first organic that approached. It settled, clocking the ears and tail of the woman in front of it. It knew what this organic was, it was fairly sure. She was there to join the celebration, that was truly the only thing that mattered at this moment. Did she not know why she was there? It was a confusing question. It would take a moment to respond. A display of pink and blue lights flickered across its surface as its pondered an appropriate response. They flared, lessened, and then pulsed. The voice that left its form came from no mouth, projected from a speaker under its surface. "We have agreed that you have arrived here to signal that," an appendage gestured above, "it has been determined we have passed. Please celebrate with us! I have prepared food that will be palatable to organics."

TakamizawaWhite Moon Eternal of SurgeryMOOD: Slightly annoyed ACTION: Taking in everything The first thing that Kami did when he realized that he was not on Earth anymore was let out a long sigh, followed by his shoulders drooping and a gloved hand rubbing his face. He had been in the middle of studying, something that often prevented him from going out to patrol lately. That and he had still been recovering from the fight with the aliens. So when he found himself here, with Knights, other White Moon Senshi, Negaverse, the aliens they fought, and Dark Mirror, it gave him chills for a moment as he remembered the battle. But they were all stuck here for whatever reason. One that would hopefully be revealed soon and then they could all go back to Earth and do what they were doing before. Living their civilian lives and fighting each other. Yay. He mostly ignored all of the squabbling that was happening around him and opted instead to see where exactly they were. It was... different. He couldn't say he had seen anything like it before. And it was at most only a few minutes until they were greeted by... what he could only call robots of sorts, telling them that they were a sign of something and that there would be celebration. "Usually when that happens people tend to be killed either during the dinner or sacrificed later." He said to himself with a chuckle. But really it meant he would be keeping his guard up. No one knew what exactly all of these alien worlds could come up with. It was better to be a bit paranoid than completely relaxed.

AlphubelKnight of PolarisMOOD: Anxious, but curious ACTION: Standing around It had been one of the rare times he had found himself patrolling without Larissa when he was transported. For her part, she appeared to have been going back to her Homeworld more often, which Alph encouraged, and so he was wanting to go out and make sure the area was safe without another Eternal around. That obviously did not go to plan, and now he was stuck here with a good mix of other magical and alien persons that had also been transported here for... some reason. Even though he had been in the same battle against the Vanguard, he had nothing against them, and fighting them right now wouldn't solve anything. They had to figure out how to get back to Earth first! There was some fighting and greetings going on around him but it didn't reach his ears as he tried to look for ways to escape. The robots appearing out of nowhere had surprised him, causing him to jump back a bit. He let out a relived sigh that they were happy that they were all here but... anything could happen on another planet. And unfortunately they had been yet to be transported to anything like "Happy bunny rainbow land where nothing bad ever happens", so something was most likely to happen here that was bad. What it would be, he couldn't guess, but it meant he couldn't trust everything either. Still, he wasn't unwilling to celebrate with the robots for whatever the reason was, though he really wanted to know why there should be such cause for it.

AndreiyaVanguardian CorporalMOOD: Relaxed (Pendour's Magic) ; Nervous/Inquisitive ACTION: Staying with Vanguardian cluster, holding Naeria What a disaster. On one hand, Andreiya found at least something like relief when Sparta and Kerberos and Pendour rushed to intervene. Part of him wanted to protest that they could defend themselves, but he wasn’t going to create extra confrontation, not when things were already chaotic enough.
Anyway, he liked seeing the other Earthlings tell her no, that she was in the wrong. It was vindicating. He hadn’t even had to shoot her. She deserved it, for attacking the Vanguard. For insulting snakes. For calling them names and making accusations of things that she didn’t even remotely understand.
Andreiya pressed his lips together tightly as he watched Lourdes sink to the ground. She’d done it to herself. She could have just gone off to her friends. Instead, she’d picked a fight. Humans were always picking fights!
…Well, not all of them. Some of them had come to try and help. And it had worked. Sort of.
Caelyna and Fae-Fae had been kissing, which brought a completely different type of panic into Andreiya’s heart because it startled him so much he’d had to do a double take. At least they weren't hurt. But that public display of affection! He felt scandalized and had to deliberately avert his eyes.
And there were strange electronic things over there? Andreiya was rapidly feeling overwhelmed by things he didn’t understand or expect.
Instinctively, he had leaned against Naeria, and the more she leaned against him the more worried he was that something was wrong. He wrapped his arm around her quickly, just in case the awful pink woman had done something to hurt her.
The others didn’t seem like they were in pain or distraught, and if he were being honest, he was still too relaxed from–what, the magic music?–to think about retaliation. He really didn’t want to fight! He just wanted his friends to be okay. Quietly, he asked Naeria, “Are you okay?”
His other hand rested over the blaster at his side, just in case. He looked like he’d relaxed, but he was still guarded, and tried to take quick stock of the status of the other Vanguardians.
...Especially because it seemed like there was something going on in the distance.Quote: He is still within the vicinity of the Vanguardian Cluster but I didn't want to spam quote everyone!

BluePlayPaw Tambourine, Something Charming (NPC)MOOD: Curious and excited ACTION: Jumping around in joy Finally it had happened and Blue couldn't be more excited! They had finally passed the trials! It had taken a few cycles, more than Blue had wanted, though they were slightly impatient, but they had done it! The signs of passing the trial were here and they couldn't help but go around to each and every organic, jingling their tambourine and switching from a heart to and exclamation point to a happy face on their screen as they tried to show how happy they were that the day had finally come! Blue decided that they needed a few more things to help the organics feel welcome and reached into their pocket dimension and taking out a couple of toys. One a small trumped that played by itself, and another one that released small pieces of plant organic matter that had been dried and cut into small rectangular shapes consisting of different colors every few moments. Blue was curious as well. Where did the organics come from? What were they called? Why did they put pieces of organic and non-organic pieces that had been sown together on themselves? And what were the bipedal things with the long tails?! It looked a bit like them! Blue shook their tambourine some more in excitement!

Botein Senshi of Amulets
MOOD: Confused ACTION: Trying to see if there was anyone she actually recognizedBotein had been practicing again, trying to work on her lack of fighting skills when she ended up 'here', where ever here was. At least she wasn't alone. There were quite a few others there as well. It was a group with such a range of outfits and personalities. Even their reactions ranged from anger and fighting to calmness. Botein was more on the calm side of things, at least externally. The first thing any good girl scout did was assess the situation, stressing out did no good and actually could do quite a bit of harm. So she stayed quiet and surprisingly isolated as members of the group seemed to gravitate to others that they knew, her deep blue eyes trying to spot any familiar figure herself as that would help put her more at ease. Botein noticed when the carpet was rolled out, the lights buzz making her frown a bit as the noise annoyed her a little, she even spotted some figures waving everyone into this new space. For her this felt a little suspicious. A lot suspicious really, but they didn't exactly have anywhere else to go. "'We're not in Kansas anymore'," she murmured quietly to herself, wondering what her next move should be. ====::===::==== Mlinzi Order Guardian Cat
MOOD: Hungry ACTION: Running over people to see if the party had foodHe had no idea how he got there. He really didn't this time! He hadn't fallen asleep in a truck or a train. Hadn't tripped into a portal of some sort. Nothing! Nada! Just - poof! One minute he was roaming around little China looking for some good food he could bum off of a civilian the next he was here, where ever here was. The large guardian cat, for once, kept his trap shut while the others who were there with him did their best to figure stuff out as well but his silence ended when his tummy rumbled. He was hungry! How come no one was willing to feed him? He was about to yowl his displeasure, informing the entire group that he was just perishing from lack of food, when a carpet came rolling out from the darkness with a strange tune. Curiosity peaked the savannah cat wound his way through the sea of feet even as lights popped on with an electric hum. Once he spotted the 'Welcome' banner all bets were off. "FOOD!" He happily crowed before racing to the entrance, uncaring of how many people he ran into or knocked over. Quote: ((Both are totally open for interaction)) ((WC - Botein: 208 Mel: 196))

VynVanguard CorporalMOOD: Relaxed, and annoyed by that, because he doesn’t want to be. ACTION: Responding to Lourdes and Pendour. Apparently, the White Moon wanted to be shot at again.
Vyn avoided the initial splash of water, and whatever magical effect resulted from it. He lifted his blaster and took aim, but not before another figure — a Senshi (Kerberos) — stepped in the way, putting himself between the Squire (Lourdes), and the Vanguard. Vyn hesitated, but would not show gratitude.
The momentary distraction allowed another knight’s approach (Pendour). Vyn thought she, too, might have been present on the hilltop all those months ago, but his memories were tangled with the fear and grief that assailed him that night, and so he could not remember clearly. He could not avoid her magic. The song washed over him — a soothing melody that left him feeling oddly relaxed.
It isn’t real, he told himself.
This feeling was not his. The situation did not call for the ease of tension. They had been attacked, for no other reason than that Squire thought to seek revenge. He could not allow her, could not allow anyone, to harm the Vanguard — his friends.
Naeria was cuddling against Andreiya. Fae-Fae and Caelyna were kissing. Vyn thought this an odd thing to happen in such a circumstance, and was further convinced that their actions were not their own. Not at this very moment, at least.
Vyn’s arm relaxed. His blaster lowered a fraction. He did not want it to.
“We did nothing to you,” he told the Squire (Lourdes). She kept calling them traitors. Though his voice was calm for now, Vyn thought it was important to speak. “We were misled, as you were. If we choose to continue following the one responsible,” It was the closest he could come to chastising the Commodore, “who was also misled, seeing as those who were meant to help us killed many of us against orders, it is because we have judged our own circumstances and found our options limited. We are loyal to our own and want nothing to do with your war, but we will do what is necessary for the sake of our people, whatever that means to any one of us.”
Stubbornly, he fought the magic music, enough that he could throw a narrow-eyed look toward the one responsible for it (Pendour).
“Do not use your magic to impose your will on any of us if you do not wish to make yourself an enemy.”Quote: I only tagged who he's speaking to directly, but anyone in the vicinity of the Vanguard is welcome to react and/or respond!

Fannygardn-R, Personal Home Farm EquipmentMOOD: Overjoyed ACTION: Beeping, booping, spinning, and beepbooping some more. Organics!There were actually organics among them! Fanny turned happy little circles, their display screen showing two joyous eyes. They also made happy little electronic sounds, trying to communicate with the organics in the same way that the other, more verbal robots were able to. Fanny had never been jealous of the verbal robot before but... they were starting to envy that they could communicate directly with the organics in a way Fanny probably couldn't. But that didn't mean that they weren't going to try their hardest to be noticed by one of them. We did it, they sung to the data connection they shared with the rest of the robots. We really did it! It took... maybe longer than we expected, but we did it! Another happy little circle with eight tip tapping little spider legs as more and more organics filtered over to the party they had all set up for them. They were cautious, of course, but they were showing up. Something Fanny was beginning to lose faith in happening. these last few decades had been hard to keep up a brave face for their friends, but now... now it was all worth it. Unable to contain themselves any longer, Fanny skittered around to as many organics as they could, rubbing themselves against as many legs as they could in the process. With each passing organic that they visited, excitement inside of them grew and grew. When she finally reached a pale blue organic with pretty green hair, Fanny seemed to reach a breaking point. They rubbed up against the organic's leg and suddenly -- POP! From the storage cavity within Fanny's body erupted several farming attachments. A hose flew out of her top like a party snake. Their crop vacuum did the same. A small scythe flipped out and stuck, blade down in the ground. Tillers, clippers, rakes, and all manner of accessories clattered around her. Fanny was still for a long moment, visibly shocked at what happened to them. And then their happy eyes went wide. And then sad. They hid their screen behind two of her forelegs and squealing in embarrassment, skittering away from their mess to hide behind a low wall. Some greeting that had been, they chided themselves, now the organics probably think you're an idiot. You can't even keep your accessories inside of you, stupid, stupid, stupid. They began hitting the top of their main body box, as though striking themselves in the head, while crying eyes displayed on their screen. speaking to other robots over the data connection

AliezVanguard CorporalMOOD: Calmed and very upset because of it. ACTION: Staying near the Vanguard. Used his shield (available for two others to avoid Lourdes’ attack). She attacked them! Aliez barely had time to put up his shield around himself and two others before the water hit. His shield wouldn’t last long, but it was enough to at least get out of the way of any other attacks thrown at them.
Wildly, Aliez looked around at the others to make sure they were okay, feeling infinitely guilty that he could only put his shield around three of them, including himself. But… they seemed to be unharmed, although they were acting a bit strange.
The music he couldn’t avoid.
Maybe that was why his sense of dread and misery was temporarily frozen. The other knight (Pendour) was playing music, and he could see as others calmed.
Aliez felt almost dazed. Painless.
He didn’t like it. Pain helped tell him if something was wrong. If he was cut, he needed to know so he could heal it. If he was sad, he needed to find a way to ease that emotion and move forward.
This magic…?
He agreed with Vyn that he did not want his will imposed on him, or any of them. It wasn’t fair. They weren’t doing anything to hurt them. They just wanted to find a way to save their World, their families and friends. Their Commodore. He kept his eyes lowered as Vyn spoke, but kept an eye on when he could use his shield again, just in case. Quote: Corporal Weapon: A vambrace that can be converted into an energy shield dome. It can deflect moderate physical and magical attacks, and convert those attacks into energy that can be absorbed by Vanguardian Source Stones. Up to two others can comfortably fit inside the dome with him. After the shield is hit three times, the build up of energy will discharge and cause moderate disorientation to whomever is attacking. Can be used for up to ten seconds and needs ten seconds to recharge. Quote: Anyone near the rest of the Vanguard!

IdaTranscended Eternal Senshi of OrchidsMOOD: Uneasy, confused, concerned ACTION: Greeting Murikabushi and friend, calling to Illyria, and side-eyeing the welcome party Her eyes on the ruins, Ida heard her name called from behind her. Someone had apparently noticed her, and as she turned back, there was movement ahead of them. Something that looked much like a carpet unrolled and lights flicked on, lighting up a sign with a cheery welcome on it. The senshi stared in wide-eyed fascination, still wary but now taken aback.
In all the times she'd been ripped from Earth to deal with one crisis or another, she'd never been... welcomed like this. She didn't trust it, of course, but now there were doubts about what was really going on. She watched as others began to drift that way, remaining where she was as she thought through what they were seeing here.
Was this really as innocent as it looked? She really couldn't bring herself to believe that.
When the eternal finally dragged her eyes away from the apparent welcome party, the one who'd called her name turned out to be Murikabushi. She raised a hand in greeting, offering a small, reserved smile. It faded into the thoughtful expression she had been wearing and she waited for the other to arrive with friend in tow. They weren't people she would have normally sought out in a situation like this, being Dark Mirror, but if Murika was coming her way, there must not be other DMC to band up with. She'd need to keep an eye out for the pair... things like this could be hard for people still new to the powered war and strange magic.
"Hey! Are you two okay? I don't trust the feel of this place..." She said, the sweep of her eyes falling on another, much smaller familiar form.
"Illyria!" She called, lifting a hand to try and catch the little cat's attention.

Erytheia Knight of Cosmos
MOOD: It’s much worse than I imagined. ACTION: Eyeing the ruins and their new friends with caution.As his eyes, once he had opened them, fell to a pile of debris of what used to be on this world, Erytheia noticed a design he had seen once before — when he had destroyed the artifact on his wonder that the previous Erytheia had failed to do. At first he almost didn’t see the cat on the pile of rubble, but when he went closer to investigate, he almost ran into her on her perch. “Oh! I hope I didn’t disturb you. I’m Erytheia. I was looking at the designs on the pile you’re sitting on. Have you ever seen anything like it before?”He knew Mauvians were knowable about many things magical and cosmic — he had once lived with a Mauvian and part of his heart still ached anytime he saw one. And as he looked at the strange beings that were waving at them, he could only hear the words one of the senshi had yelled when they all were first drawn here: ‘You need to know something about him: he doesn't have a starseed. There's nothing.’What had those words meant? “You wouldn’t happened to know what they are, too?”✪

AshOrder Guardian CatMOOD: Excited and Curious ACTION: Putting her hands all over Home Helper and inundating them with questions. Something waved to her and the small cat's eyes grew wide with surprise and excitement, her slender tail lashing behind her.
That... that was a... robot! She could hardly believe what she was seeing.
A sound like something between a shriek and a squeal erupted from the mauvian and she lost all decorum, breaking into a run to rush up to the many-tentacled thing.
"Oh, hello my darling!" She gushed and cooed as she put her hands on it, running her fingers down its limbs and peering into the strange orb in its center. "You beautiful thing! Where did you come from? How did you get here? What do you do? Oh dear, I have so many questions! But look at you... what a marvel! Oh my goodness, I don't even know where to start... What energy do you run on?"
The technophile could not stop the rush of questions or effluent praise any more than she could take her hands off the amazing piece of technology.

Encke Transcendent Eternal Senshi of Plasma
MOOD: Worried about Pendour, generally wary because they were told this place was dangerous ACTION: Watching Pendour and also the robotsViatrix Order Mauvian, Bonded to Encke
MOOD: Hold up are those alive-- ACTION: Looking at the robotsViatrix found herself feeling both vindicated that stargazing was not the solution to the problems, and also upset that there already seemed to be a brewing fight and they had only been there for like what, five minutes? How were these people already fighting? There wasn't anything new going on with the Velencians; though she from the perspective that they were certainly related to the great corruption event could understand the upset, they seemed just as confused as the rest of them were-- Pendour was agreeing with Basiluzzo agreeing with her assessment, but then Pendour beyond that was gone and heading to interfere in a way that spiked a bit of stress in her bonded, a small strained noise leaving his lips. Alright, not sticking together and just stargazing for now. Alright. That was fine. This place was dangerous apparently but it wasn't like he couldn't see her. Plus, like how he wouldn't have his husband any other way, he wouldn't have Pendour any other way. Would she be safe, though? Would they be upset with her because of her prior interference or this new-- His eyes danced in the increased lights and he blinked. "Are we being beckoned to a party?" "Would seem it." "So there's people here. Whose planet is this? Should we be going near that? It sounded like Kurma recommended us stay put --" "Hold up," Viatrix put up a hand as she watched the people that came from the party, or waved with mechanic tentacles, or watched with heart eyes, or headbutted people like a cat-- "Are those robots?" Encke squinted. "They might be?" "And are they alive?" Viatrix's eyes widened. She saw one talking to another Mauvian. Was that just a program it was running through-- "Maybe they're just really well programmed? Think whoever is behind them is the one holding this party?" Encke's eyes flicked to Pendour. It looked like one of the Velencians was confronting her. No violence, though-- "Do you think it's a trap?" "You think every new thing is a trap." "And more often than not I'm right--"

AlastorEternal Deep Space Senshi of Despair MOOD: Guarded/Curious ACTION: Standing behind Ephesus and Amarynthos with a hand on their shoulders and talking to them and Sessrumnir Through all of it, Alastor remained calm. Even while on edge, he managed to look at ease. Part of it was for the boys. Part of it was for Sessrumnir. Part of it was just because he didn’t want to show weakness in a group of strangers. When Michael caught his eye, he nodded.
He didn’t recognize anyone outside of their circle, but he supposed that was to be expected. He hadn’t been getting out much without Sessrumnir, and there hadn’t really been any reason to spread himself thin.
Ephesus waved at part of the strangeness, and Alastor was all the more determined to keep him safe.
Alastor just didn’t know what it was, and he wasn’t taking any chances.
He couldn’t help but scan the crowd for the Negaverse Agent who had tried to hurt Atticus before.
Just in case.
“You said you recognized the man who brought us here,” he said slowly, questioningly. He didn’t ask if recognizing him was a good or bad thing, just because he didn’t want to concern the boys. But he needed to know, and he held Michael’s gaze while he asked.AmarynthosPage of the Moon MOOD: Curious/Careful ACTION: Standing next to Ephesus, Alastor is holding their shoulders, talking to Sessrumnir quietly Amarynthos glanced over to where Ephesus was waving, and it was partly instinctively that he waved too. His parents had taught him to respect strange and unknown things, and he’d rather be polite and courteous. He couldn’t exactly make out everyone that was over there, but given how strange and magical all of this was he immediately suspected something suspicious.
Good things came with a price in every fairy tale he’d ever heard.
“Is it a party? …What’s the occasion? –Don’t eat any of the food. Dad’s read me stories, sometimes the food’s a trap. If you eat it you can’t go home. For fairies and all.” He shrugged, because he didn’t necessarily believe in those things, but his father was suspicious and there was no harm in being careful.
…Especially because magic was real, and he still hadn’t figured out just how much of it was real.

Illyria Order Guardian Cat
MOOD: Resigned ACTION: Addressing Xamira & Erytheia. Calling out to Ida
If it wasn't one thing happening to denizens of Destiny City than it was something else. Illyria uncurled her tail, gave a mighty big stretch (gotta work those kinks out) and idly inspected the pile of rocks that was her perch. Her gaze caught a bit of odd designs before she had another mauvian come up to her and greet her. Illyria looked at the newcomer before she felt her gaze widen just a little. Although clearly a different breed of cat the one that spoke to her had similar markings to her own. She took the awkward silence out of the air when she moved to stand planted with all four paws on her rock before grinning. "Hello there," and her Illyria's head canted to the side before she mewed uncertainly, "I'm Illyria."
As she made that introduction and waited possibly for a name in return the small guardian took in the sound of music blaring and the bizarre sight of a red carpet that had seen better days being rolled out. Narrowed orbs locked on the figures that were emerging and Illyria felt a strange pull to go investigate but she quashed it for the time being. Her gaze instead turned to the new powered individual that had moved closer to peer at the markings on the debris upon which she perched. "It's no worry. I'm small and sometimes people miss the fact that I'm here."
Illyria once more glanced down at the pile of rubble before shaking her head in response to the questions she was being asked, "unfortunately I think I'm just as lost for answers as you are. I've never been here before that I know of."
A familiar voice then floated towards Illyria and her twitching ears caught the tones in the person's voice before she went on full alert. Her violet orbs searched across the throng before she spotted Ida in the crowd. A loud purr went up from her tiny body as she tried to shout back to the Transcedent senshi, "Ida!"
She wanted to say more but she didn't want to appear rude to those that currently had her attention.
