Welcome to Gaia! ::

Troy glared at Ganymede, the rude and strangely dressed Senshi who had refused to recognize Chronos's authority and had laughed after she made her decision. He may have been new to this whole business and new to being a Knight of Chronos, but he understood that his position meant something - something greater than himself - something sacred. And he did not take kindly to the idea that something sacred was being disrespected. If he saw the Senshi again, Troy would confront him. It wasn't the appropriate setting at the meeting, however.

"Princess Chronos," he asked to his Princess. "Now dun get me wrong or nuttin', I'm with you one hundred percent of the way. I'd go back down to Earth and put away all them mirrors if I could. But what if them Dark Mirror folk still get to the Surroundin'? Then what? Are you gonna be safe? Are the other folks who are stuck up here gonna be safe?"

"Leave, and you might as well condemn earth to death." Now didn't that just sound peachy? "The surrounding protects earth. All of our homes. That is why I stay now. That is why I will fight, and why I would encourage you, even if we disagree, to stay."

"Europa." Castor faced his once comrade, moving to whisper in her ear. "If he keeps pulling s**t like this, he's going to get himself killed. Brat or not, I don't want to see another senshi die due to shortcomings. Just as well, your court keeps making me want to sock their teeth in." Pulling away, he didn't think he'd scored pointed with the senshi of the deep. "I don't seek to chide you jelly butt...but as is..." He sighed. "They're your's Europa, teach them. Please."

As Chronos made her stand, Castor bowed his head. "I am sorry Chronos. I-" He looked at the others, speaking to them. "I have my pride, and my own arrogance, but I will apologize for being.." he had to find the word. "Stubborn. As well as aggressive." He did not have to like biting his words back, but Chronos didn't want infighting. He respected Chronos, sadly, quite a bit more than the others.

"Tentalces." A small smile. "I'd actually like to talk to you about that."

The civilains did get a sigh. "I don't even- Why did it have to be civilians? Sometimes I think the Cosmos likes ******** with us."

"...." Castor looked towards where Zirconia had went. "Noted."

He didn't think a cat was going to like him or want to talk with him. She'd given him her answer, but he'd gotten in less then the best manner.

"I know Flora, I know." He frowned softly as she hissed at him waiting a moment before continuing, "Just meet me when you're done here. We can go gather the mirrors together alright?"

The look on his face was one of slight concern, he hadn't seen her quite upset like this before and at the moment he was one of the few friends he had in space. Better to work with a friend, and a good way to talk to try an calm them down.

"I'll see you in a bit okay?"

With that he turned taking his leave not far after the princess.

Scylla looked neither pleased nor upset about the decision of the Zodiac Princess in regards to the mirrors. "Chronos," she called after the Princess, "As I said, if you need any help with the moving of the bulkier items, I've got some spare arms to go around." her joke fell flat, but it was something.

She turned her attention to Castor as he passed her. "It has been a while since we've had a nice chat." she tried very hard to keep the surly acid out of her tone. "We've both come a long way since I was kicking you out of trees thinking you were a Negaverser, haven't we?"

Purple eyes drifted the crowd, looking for any other members or former members of the Blood Moon. She wanted to be around her family right now. Her hand went to the alien gemstones around her neck, ignoring the cold seeping into her skin. "Sirius?" she called, looking for the other senshi.

Europa received a nod, and a faint smile. Not really anything she could say to the other senshi. Every time she and Tallulah had gotten together, they both got hurt. Even if they did have fun punting the concrete out of garden gnomes.

Sirius had basically flattened herself against a wall, it had been the only way she could restrain herself from attacking Castor for speaking like that to Zirconia. She had listened to the ideas and was amused slightly at how they were pushing the princess one way and then another. In fact everything she saw just confirmed that the BMC had been right, they were organised and effective. They were a proper team and it just made Sirius miss the closeness even more.

As Chronos made her decision Sirius flinched slightly. Carrying mirrors? Could they grab her through them? Ares had promised, she even had the scratches on her face from when Ares saved Requiem. However as Scylla mentioned her name, Sirius was next to her in a flash.

"Work together yeah?" They were still a team, however much the team didn't seem to exist, Sirius had to believe they were still a team.

Pasiphae couldn't help but jump slightly when Castor squatted beside her, not out of fear but rather out of surprise that the prince would stoop (literally) to address her. A hot blush replaced the cold paleness of her face at his words--she couldn't deny his reasoning. Zirconia had been a member of the BMC, and yes, it was important to be sure of where such a person's loyalty might lie. But Pasiphae couldn't agree with his method, in how he had hurt and isolated the Guardian Cat who had already been hurt so much. Sadly, she couldn't muster her courage to give more than whispered response, one that the Prince (understandably in her mind) seemed to ignore before turning to address other members of the Jovian Court, "You still... could've just asked... nicely."

That was the bottom line for the Shame Senshi, and perhaps it had to do with the attitude of the majority of the Senshi she had encountered thus far, old and new. Up until today, she had found them willing to work together. She still believed that they were allies, and that allies should treat one another as a whole with respect. That was the reason that her fellow Jovians--Ganymede,Sessrumnir, and Cyellene didn't get her verbal support; she agreed with the core of their ideas but not with the wording, the emotion with which they were being carried out. It was the same reason that the offended Flora and Hephaistos didn't get her voice either; she agreed with parts ofo what they were saying, but the arguing just had to stop! The insecure girl focused on Valhalla and Europa throughout these debates, hoping that one (or both) of them would take a stand where she felt she couldn't.

The quick exit of a girl with a plush (Hug-bell) happened so fast that Pasiphae couldn't even address her, but she heard her words clearly. It only made her heart sink further. Then more fighting, more arguing... she couldn't even bring herself to really listen to it until Sessrumnir addressed her personally. In response, she shook her head and spoke directly to him, her words still calm as she scrubbed the tears from her eyes, "I... will stay to help, as I was asked to do. People are... high strung right now because they're scared; we need to work together, not split apart."

Pasiphae was glad when Europa and Valhalla stepped in to try and calm the situation and take control of her fellow Jovians--she was even grateful for Hephaistos efforts, as he seemed to be trying to overcome the arguing for the sake of making a plan. What surprised her (and to some extent pleased her) the most was when the civilians began to let their voices, ideas, and concerns be heard (Roxy, Lucky. Sheila)

That helped to put the situation in perspective for the others, it seemed, as Chronos finally announced a decision--to move the mirrors from the Surrounding to Earth. That seemed to get things in motion at last--various Senshi leaving to go put the plan into motion, Prince and Princess talking to one another about what had been done, what had been said, what apologies needed to be made. Europa and Valhalla were still in their organizing positions--the Eternal Senshi with Castor, Valhalla with the civilians, adressing them and making sure that their concerns were noted. When one of them mentioned the potential problem of other reflective surfaces, not just mirrors... it honestly made her shudder. Everything metal reflected, water, anything sufficiently polished... but

The Shame Senshi rose and slowly approached Chronos, mustering control over her continued awe over the Princess in order to approach and ask about how to transport the mirrors safely and where they should be stored. Pasiphae also wanted to apologize for Ganymede--not his sentiments about protecting civilians and valuing the present over the past, as that was not anything inappropriate-- but due to his lack of respect in the only way she knew how, to show respect herself. She didn't really have an opportunity, however, as Chronos gathered her knights and moved to exit, so rather than verbally convey respect, Pasiphae gave the princess and her entourage a certain amount of space and exectued a small curtsey. The gesture might go unnoticed but... she felt better for having given it. Perhaps there would be another chance for her to speak with the Princess, to ensure that she hadn't harmed the mirrors she was transporting.

Now, Pasiphae turned her attentions towards those that remained. She didn't understand Scylla's joke, having never met the other Senshi, but she chimed in towards her and anyone else still around, "I'll be happy to help move larger mirrors too, if needed?" Then, a bit more shyly, she added, "And... um... I'll gladly pair up with anyone who doesn't want to walk around alone?"
