Gemini Alpha. Check.
Gemini Beta. Check.
Sailor Neso. Check.
Hell, even Sailor Eskimo. Check.
That was four people she was temporarily enlisting in her 'Approval' book. It wasn't a big book, but they say that night the book grew ten times as big. Her gaze flickered to Gemini Beta, and her lips curled upwards in a barely perceptible smile as the senshi relieved her of the drunken burden. Nemesis was still greatly hoping for booze, but at least being relieved of Gemini Alpha was a step in the right direction.
She had booze in her hands, and with a quick smile she took a much needed drink. If she had time, she would be taking much more drinks from it, though she wasn't the type of person to get drunk. The occasion seemed to call for it, though.
The area around her was slowly, but surely, being filled, and the amount of people was going to make her nauseous. But, the truth remained that all these people combined were better than interpreting Spaceman over there. And dear god, he wanted them to do one of those focus-s**t things. Jesus ******** christ on a stick. From experience, Nemesis knew that it was probably best to do as she was told. Nemesis had just developed a natural resistance to doing what other people wanted of her.
It was a habit to be disagreeable.
Her other brow was quickly arching high upon her forehead as Gemini Alpha split himself. She should be annoyed, really, she should, but she had beer in her hand. At least... he was harmless. "Why don't you just pretend I'm there?" in his arms, which was not quite something she'd ever do. He could fantasize, though. He earned it for sharing his beer.
Oh right. She was supposed to be focusing.
Uhhh, give her two minutes.

"Eh... I guess that sucks fer ya... but it's never good t'eat right before bed kid." That was probably the closest poor Hugbell would get to sympathy from the tall senshi.
Weird was still turning out to be a very accurate description for Kurma, as he gave his newest request. She glanced to both the child and her team mate. "Told ya."
There was a pause.
"Do what he says as best as ya can..." She sighed and rolled her gold eyes before closing them to try and do as requested.

Clear your minds?
Alcyone's body completely tensed up at the idea of going through another space teleportation so soon. While she could now admit that she'd been wrong about Merope's adventure to his own star, it was still a hurdle for her to go through with the actual traveling part. It was just uncomfortable.
Though not as uncomfortable as hearing a girl that she had just politely greeted to badmouth her Captain.
"Um, excuse me, Requiem?" She interjected. "I understand that you're with Orion, it's not exactly hard to read body language. However, if you're going to be around us, you need to respect every single one of us, including Merope. If you don't, then you and I have a problem, boy-friend or no." Alcyone glanced over at Orion. "Sorry man, but I won't allow her to be around if she continues to badmouth Merope. It's disrespectful, not to mention incredibly immature."
So much for clearing her mind.

"A lot of harm can come from letting your guard down, cous'... Remember the mall." She murmured softly, worrying her lower lip with her teeth for a moment before letting her own eyes close, unconsciously reaching for her cousin's hand for reassurance as she did so. Whatever this was, whatever was going to happen to them, she was going to hope that they didn't wind up separated this time. Sailor Corvus still had a lot of making up to do for the last time...
Don't let me regret this...

Eskimo's listening was interrupted by the sound of Gemini A falling and Snuzzles screeching. Whipping around with wide eyes she stared at him. "Jesus, are you okay?" She was about to go and help him up but suddenly there was three of him. Blinking she rubbed at her eyes, making sure she wasn't seeing things., and then she heard his words. "Oh, very funny." There was a grin on her face though and reaching out she offered a hand to him. "I'm not going to fall into your arms, but I will help you up."

"I'm sure you'd know all about acting your d**k size," Sailor Merope replied to Requiem, rolling his eyes. He shot Orion a look of disbelief and sympathy when he admitted that she was his girlfriend. Poor guy, was he serious? "Whatever."
He wasn't comfortable with Requiem around. He really, really hoped that Orion didn't try to convince them to let her onto the team or suggest inviting her on patrols with them. As far as he was concerned, she was a selfish senshi who would be more than happy to shut them all in coffins. In fact, he probably would wind up in another one tonight.
Merope threw a thankful glance to Alcyone, then quietly moved to put her and Atlas between himself and the other couple. He couldn't help but to clench his fists and wish he could punch something, however the crowded warehouse made it fall directly into the Wrong Time And Place.
With a distinctly unhappy sigh, Merope tried to concentrate and tune into the universe as Kurma asked, his attention shattered every time he glanced over to Requiem.

With his eyes closed, Neso leaned forward, feeling with his mouth for the bottle. He instead nibbled on Eskimo's arm for a second. One eye cracked open. "PSST," he not-so-much whispered. "Can you get me the drink? Gem-A, I know you won't hold out on me."
It still counted as concentrating if he had one eye closed.
And if he drank a little.
And then a little more.
And then hiccuped.
***
Tension rolled in Ares' shoulders, but she eased beside Gunn. Above all else, she respected the opinions of the ISS. If Gunn said to do it... well, the Senshi of Smoke believed in her. "Okay," she said flatly. "We hold formation. Everyone fall in." Turning over her shoulder, she spotted Albali and shot her a look that said as much. Ares tried to catch Requiem and Nemesis's eyes, but they seemed otherwise occupied.

"Good, good," the man praised. "That's more like it, should make things a bit easier. Now, it's really ******** cramped in here, so let's get a move on."
And, without further ado, the scenery of the warehouse was drowned out by a pulse of golden light, than then pulled everyone in to the fabric of space itself. It was a feeling that was a bit impossible to get used to -- it was like there was no difference between oneself and the rest of the entire universe -- and it was in that moment that the meaning of his words became clear. Fortunately, as those who had engaged in space travel before knew, the sensation would only last a split second before they were spit back out somewhere fully formed again.
So it was -- and so they reappeared. There was no ground, no horizon, no sensation of gravity or even the slightest breeze tickling their skin. All that remained were the sounds of their own breathing and body rhythms... and all around them, a vast sea of countless stars. The Earth gazed up at them from below, its film of clouds swirling visibly on its face.
A bit of a deja-vu sight for Themis, Castor, and Eskimo. Not so much for the others.
The impossible silence was, unfortunately, quickly broken by Kurma issuing an enormous sigh of relief, stretching himself out in the nothingness around them as if he were on some kind of invisible hammock. "Much better, you have no idea," he said, with all the contentment of a cat spreading itself over a patch of sunlight.
((@Kailey: since Metis is blind and senses auras to compensate, you can go with the stars / planets having detectable auras if you like ))

There were very few things that could make Mackenzie Soon-To-Be-Boskovic blush. Her fiancée, however, was certainly one of them, and she tilted her head slightly towards him as she felt his breath on her neck, the smell of alcohol lingering with the scent of him and the words 'I love you' enough to spread the slightest tint of rose across her cheeks. Of course, it was this combined with the sight of Chronos that the female half of Gemini would blame dropping Andeon on, her grin broadening even more at the sight of the princess. Virgo, Handyman, Ice Princess and now Chronos? This was awesome! Meanwhile, her attention diverted, the drunk boy slipping right out of her arms and onto the floor.
"Hun, you're supposed to warn me," she half-scoffed, sighing a little at Andeon from where he was on the floor.
Poor Kurma -- she had no desire to concentrate, not when this awesomeness was going on. It was becoming more and more like school by the second. It seemed, however, it didn't matter much -- the golden light surrounded the party regardless, and within moments, they weren't in kansas anymore.

Bell had anticipated this, remembering from before. It didn't make the feeling or sight any less breath-taking though. But why were they here in space again? Surely by now everyone knew the 'secret' of space travel? This only made more questions pop up in her mind. It was in her nature to question everything, and to not be satisfied until she had an answer. She hoped she got an answer soon. There were so many things had simply had to 'just accept' now a days. Some things were easier than others...but still, if it could be helped, she wanted to know.
Meanwhile, whoo, no gravity. Booty shots everywhere.

He only vaguely heard his cousins words but he felt her hand wrap around his fingers. He tried -not- to remember the mall and what had happened there.
Thankfully the thoughts couldn't take shape with the rush of whatever it was that Kurma had done. He'd never felt anything like that before and when his eyes snapped open he almost wished he hadn't.
".... s**t." He stared down between his feet at the blue-green ball that was the earth hanging below them. "Wait ... how are we not suffocating ... and why is there -sound-." If they were in space that was impossible.

The second that feeling was settling in, he knew exactly what was gonna happen, and he braced himself for it as best as he could.
Though it was probably completely impossible to truly brace himself for the sensation of being displaced trough space in such a way - and once again he felt his stomach drop deep into the pits of his boots before he opened his eyes.
Yup, space. He was back to having hair everywhere, coat everywhere, and apparently he drifted off in some kind of upside down position, having apparently lost his girlfriend's hand in the process.
"s**t." And so started the process of fidgeting like an idiot to get himself remotely right-side-up again.
But then he noticed he was right under Bellatrix.
..Maybe this wasn't so bad after all.

Orion looked over at Alcyone that helpless look still on his face. "Hey, I didn't know they had beef." He changed his gaze to Requiem, speaking quietly to her. "Do you think you could be nice, for me? I want them to like you." He gave her his best puppy dog eyes, hoping to convince her to ease up on the insults.
But before he could get an answer from his girlfriend they were pulled into space. Oh not again. Once they popped into space he looked around, taking a good look at Earth before he looked back to Kurma. At least they had more room now.
---
Eskimo jumped slightly as her arm was nibbled but then she laughed. She was surrounded by drunks, but she didn't really mind. She was actually thinking about stealing some of Gemini A's booze. Before she got the chance though they were pulled into space. It was similar to the last time and she was considerably less freaked out then before.
When they appeared in space she glanced around and then down making sure no one was floating underneath her staring up her skirt.

Brightness. Though his eyes were closed they were filled with light, and then a feeling. It made him feel sick, even if it was for a moment. And then it stopped and Janus opened his eyes.
"What the ********?" He said, then realized what had happened and gasped. Where were they, what had just happened? This, this was impossible! He looked down at he feet and saw nothing. He was just... there. In space. With the plants and stars around him. There was Earth. His home. It was miles away. He felt sick again and clasped his stomach. He didn't want to think what would happen if he vomited here.
Perhaps this wasn't such a good idea after all.

Why weren't the ladies falling into his arms? He didn't understand.
“Oh!” Andeon said as he looked first to Nemesis, then to Eskimo, understanding spreading across his face, “I got it. I'm sorry, I didn't know. Aren't you guys supposed to like... wear shum bracelets? Rainbow toe socks? Cut your hair off?”
Because in Andeon's world, the only reason that a woman would not fall into his arms is because they were gay. Destiny City had a lot of gay women, it turned out. He turned his eyes on Neso, about to comment on the unbelievable number of lesbians in what Andeon was now renaming Lesbian City. Lesbestiny City. Lesbestos. But before he got a chance, the world was pulled away from him.
That, boys and girls, would forever be known as the day Sailor Gemini Alpha puked in space, and then watched it drift off towards the stars, vaguely wondering if somehow his projectile space vomit might some day be a key ingredient to the formation of new life in the universe.
With that over, Andeon was suddenly quite aware that he was floating. In space. He quite suddenly seemed to sober up, each of his mirror images grabbing for the leg of on of the three aforementioned ladies. Each of them hugged onto one like a child who refused to let go of their father's foot until he walked them around the house. And, of course, all three took a look directly up.
“Neso, dude. Neso.” Andeon looked around for the Senshi of Summer, “Dude. I think I drank too much Space Beer.”
