Sailor Cadmus, Chibi Senshi of Cranberries Barracks
Cadmus couldn't hide his embarrassment either and seemed to train eyes on the glowing crystals instead of Iduna. "The, um, t-the barracks do sound like a good option, yea," he said, though his feet weren't moving when they should've been. He could've stood there like that forever. Well, that, and it was a little hard to move with the way she was clinging to him.
Cadmus scratched at his ear and tried to find a way to ease her off gently. Offering his hand to her instead, he said next, "We, um, might have trouble getting to the barracks if we stay like this and try and walk there. W-w-want to... hold hands instead? I mean, only 'cause it's dark and we might not see where we're going but we can both walk freely and oh man I understand if you don't want to Iduna I'm just asking."
He hadn't meant to ramble off the last bit, but his heart was terribly confused as to whether he should be frightened for his life or embarrassed. It seemed to be a thick, swirling vat of both.

Sailor Iduna, Chibi Senshi of Apples Barracks
It was then that she sort of sprang off of him, face almost as red as her bow and started babbling some form of apology and indignation all at once. It was nothing of consequence or really able to be heard or understood by anyone that didn't speak 'Iduna'. She flustered and dug her shoes together and slowly, so slowly, took his hand and held it tightly.
"S-so we don't lose each other," she said, attempting to hide her face behind her giant chest bow. It wasn't really a thing that needed to be said, since Cadmus had suggested it in the first place, but it seemed to help her embarrassment.
With her fingernails digging uncomfortably into his arm, Kairatos wasn't sure if Themiscara was concerned in general... or more specifically concerned about his return to the Rift. He could kind of understand it if she was. It was hard enough to get people who'd never been corrupt to listen to what any purified had to say about the rift without the inevitable suspicion that they'd fall back to their old ways, or be dragged.
It wasn't like the original precedent had gone so well... but he'd long been determined to prove he wasn't anything like them.
"...Think we'll find a Code piece?" he asked, grimly. He'd been concerned about the posibility, but most people seemed to think they just weren't being 'balanced' enough or 'peaceful' enough. Nice for them they had the luxury to be so.... ... naive. Naive wasn't the word he actually wanted to say, but having to lump Hvergelmer in there, he felt guilty saying anything more harsh in there.
"I'll buy damn drinks once we get this sorted out." He promised, though he sounded... if anything, distracted, eyes glancing around in search of trouble. He half expected to see Redline and other youma like it skirting through the dark, but he wasn't sure if it was a relief or not that he saw no trace of the unusual, machine like youma.
"Don't mess with the crystals if you can avoid it. And don't assume anything that looks like water is water."
Probably preaching to the choir, but you heard... stories about the rift, about the deep rift.... Even not having seen this deep was before now... the echos he'd felt while searching for his own once-upon-a-time-Youma had been enough to leave an impression.
Kairatos heading for option two, damaged building.

Super Sailor Elpis // Sailor Ferris
"Hey, Lacri." Elpis grinned, then cocked her head at the look of surprise on Lacrimosa's face curiously, blinking.
"Uh. Oh. OH! Thanks!" It took a moment to realize Lacrimosa hadn't yet seen her upgrade, and Elpis grinned sheepishly. Neither had a lot of people she wished could, and the senshi rubbed the back of her head, looking to the assembled group.
"As I said, we're going to move on the castle. I figure, it's manageable - as long as we employ tactics and account for any wildcards on both sides."
Like Order members with their own plans, or possible betrayals... Things of that nature.
Ferris waved to Lacrimosa, not as bubbly as usual, but no less pleased to meet another senshi before she made a face. Elpis was a bit grumpy, she figured, and the senshi motioned calmly.
"Hi, I'm Sailor Ferris, Senshi of Nostalgia. Does this mean we're reenacting the Princess Bride? If so can I pretend to be Dread Pirate Roberts?" She offered. Elpis began squeaking uncontrollably.
"Nonono don't drag that movie into this you know not what you unleash..."

Cordoba // Sailor Alsafi
"Hi." Cordoba murmured. This was a group of a lot of people, wasn't I? The page fidgeted, disinclined to leave hiding a bit more before nodding. Babylon was the senior - he probably knew better. Though, the Code hadn't been particularly agreeable with her, the page admitted. Still, he knew more than her so maybe this was a good idea?
What would her big brother do?!
"Guess so. I 'unno if I'd go with it for the Code." She scowled some. "I've concluded I don't care much for it. But he could harm my Wonder."
Her Wonder, and everything Xifeng died protecting inside.
Alsafi was slightly less aware of what was going on. The senshi rolled on her heel, humming as her eyes flicked to Babylon at being addressed, the senshi shrugging with a baffled look.
"No idea. I kind of had my cat start talking and wake me up with this s**t like, a week ago? So I figured I'd have fun with the magic thing and found that giant group of people. I'm going with the flow until someone bothers explaining."
Her tone was mostly lazy, but also agitated, the senshi shrugging and looking to Harmonia.
"Hey. Hey Princess. Are we all magic or something? Cause I tell you my cat might be disappointed if so."
Or not. Alsafi reeeaaaally wasn't sure eith Brody sometimes.

Sailor Remus, Senshi of Regolith
His Lord of the Rings metaphor was woefully unknown. Remus gave a little despairing sigh and flicked his gaze towards the two ladies. He didn't know either of them, but there was safety in numbers, weren't there? Or something like that.
Maybe.
Remus jerked his head towards the castle. "I was actually gonna head up over yonder," he said breezily. "Seems like that's where the party is, right? The big baddie, the Eye of Mordor, Sauron the necromancer dude - no one?"
Footsteps behind him made him turn, and the curly haired senshi from earlier was hopping out of the porter towards him. Remus grinned at her, giving a little wave of his hand.
"Yo, Shirley Temple," he said grandly. "Welcome to the party. We were just discussing where we're all gonna go party," Remus added, gesturing around at their surroundings with a lazy hand. "I personally think I'm gonna head on up to the castle to find myself a pretty princess and maybe a dragon or two. Anyone care to join me?"

"Strike teams seem like a good idea," Cybele said. She smiled, and it wasn't just politeness. She looked... genuinely cheerful, and she was, because despite how wrong and dangerous this place was, they had made it here, and it hadn't turned out to be an ambush, and they were going to do something. There was a bit of worry in the back of her mind, as always... but even if things were about to go horribly wrong, she was ready.
She smiled senshi in pink who ran up, too, trying to keep track of the names that were getting thrown around. Lacri. Elpis. Ferris. She thought she had it. "I'm Cybele, Senshi of the Hunt," she introduced. "If you want strategy... my magic makes people more focused and faster... and maybe we should look for a back entrance once we get there?"
She turned to Ferris, "...and if you want to make movie references, I am very on board. I'll be the sword fighter... what's his name, again?" She looked slightly embarrassed- she should really know these things. "Sorry, it's been awhile."

Sailor Duhr, Senshi of Tornadoes
His question was met with a grin and a nod, blonde curls bouncing with the motion. The other two options weren't terrible choices (though who was she kiddin', they were ALL terrible choices - it was the Negaverse for Pete's sake) but the castle seemed the most straightforward of all the answers.
Go in. Beat stuff up. Possibly win. Possibly save the day. Or, y'know, die. But she was really, really hoping it wouldn't come to that. Got to stay positive in the thinkin', right?
Her fists drew back, arms moving to fold themselves across her chest as her gaze fell across the ominous looking castle in the distance. Sure, stormin' the castle was probably crazy (and the quickest way to findin' trouble), but it was also the most direct, plain and uncomplicated choice.
"Ah'm with ya on that." She suddenly frowned, registering his comment. "Not sure if there'll be any good Princesses inside of it, though."
Sailor Duhr is heading to the castle.

Ananke chuckled nervously at what Remus said about going to the castle. "Um... Attacking directly isn't exactly my strong point." She brought her hand up to her chin as everyone was deciding where they where going. She was really only good at being able to send an attack back... well when she thought about it she might be able to send another sailor senshi's attack that missed at the enemy.
"Well... Miss Altair since you asked me first would it be alright for me to accompany you and everyone else to the broken building?" She said looking Altair smiling brightly.
"While I can't really attack directly I am confident in being able to assist!"
When Valhalla kissed her hand, all Ganymede wanted to do was melt into him and give him a s**t ton of kisses and pretend like they were anywhere but here. Unfortunately, such behavior did not come recommended in a place like this, where battle could erupt at any moment, so she settled for giving his hand a squeeze and shifting just a little closer against his side.
She didn't like the idea of him coming along when he had no magic and his summon hadn't worked in months, not to mention his frustrating inability to sense auras (though maybe it benefited him now, with Chaos pressing heavy against their senses), but at the same time, she'd rather be with him if she was going to die. She didn't want to be separated, so she was glad he agreed to come with her, even if going to the castle would likely be the more dangerous path.
In the end, it would also be the one that would provide the most benefit, so long as they could actually get to Metallia.
With Valhalla's hand still in hers, Ganymede drifted closer to Gevaudan, Venice, and Erebus.
“Do any of you think we'll actually be able to make it to Metallia?” she said. “Because I'm having some serious doubts about this. It seems like a really bad idea to be going off in different directions, but I don't think other people are quite as committed to the castle as we are. Which is so ******** stupid, considering I thought the castle was the whole point in us coming here.”

Team Barracks
Perdita rolled her eyes at Oberon's flippancy. She didn't think now was either the time or the place for it, but she supposed that was just his way. At least someone could remain lighthearted when things were likely to get very real very fast.
She glanced at the other Senshi that approached them, taking in his name and the look of his uniform for future reference.
“It's nice to meet you, Chara,” she said.
She thought he was close to her and Oberon's age, but she couldn't be entirely sure. Like Oberon, Chara did not appear to be a Chibi Senshi, which left Perdita feeling just the slightest bit inadequate.
“You're welcome to come with us if you want,” she continued. “I feel like there's something there, and it would probably be best if at least a handful of us went, just in case.”
Then Oberon had to make a really stupid comment. Perdita glared at him. “No one was going to ask that,” she said. “Why would you think anyone would ask that?”
As people introduced themselves the pink clad senshi seemed to calm down, it helped having something to focus on, and a placid smile replaced the once freaked out look. Castle and strike team... She'd never done something quite as bold but maybe it was about time.
"A pleasure to meet you both, I'm Lacrimosa, of Cherry Blossoms."
She had no idea why there was talk of movie quotes but it sounded fun. Made it all seem less... scary. Or dangerous? Though this was very, very dangerous even if it hadn't become an ambush like she'd been wary of. It be troublesome at any moment.
"Ah, my power isn't good for much except a distraction? And possibly obscuring an enemy's vision for us to get away if need be."
Cybele's ability, on top of what she knew of Elpis' seemed much more efficient then her own.
Lacrimosa will be going to the castle. Eventually.

Team Damaged Building
Palatine grabbed onto her niece's arm when Varuna tried to touch one of the crystals. For such a cautious girl, Varuna wasn't presenting the best idea at the moment, even if a light source could very well prove helpful.
“Careful,” she said. “You don't know what those'll do.”
It seemed to be a wise move for Palatine to stop her, because a Knight of Mars (Kairatos) soon approached and cautioned against it. The sound of his voice made it seem as if he knew what he was talking about, though Palatine couldn't figure out why or how. It wasn't like any of them had been down here before...
Unless he had been down here before. In another uniform.
Palatine tried not to look suspicious, but she didn't think her efforts were entirely successful.
She looked to the Squire of Mars (Themiscrya) who approached with him. This Squire looked familiar. Palatine was sure she'd seen her during the rescue mission last January, but she couldn't remember the Squire's name. She'd been a little distracted at the time and hadn't had much of an opportunity to put names to memory.
“I'm Palatine,” she introduced herself to both the Squire and the Knight. Then she said, “Am I the only one who got a weird sense of deja vu from that place?”
Because if she was... she should probably start considering the fact that she might be crazy. She hoped that wasn't the case. Anyway, when strange s**t happened in this war, it usually happened to more than one person, so she was fairly confident she wasn't alone.
Reaching through the other side, her hand immediately gripped Cassiopeia's a little tighter as she tried to regain herself. The amount of wrong she felt in this place was astounding and she almost about faced back through the portal. Would have had she not still held the other's hand.
She did not like this place at all.
But it was gorgeous.
"How come they get pretty crystals all over the place?" she pouted, eyeing the area. Or just a gorgeous area in general because the ruins looked outstanding. Imagining what they looked like in the past... god it must have been a gorgeous place once.
"You lead, I'll follow," Enif quipped as she continued to follow her taller friend. Because if she didn't she'd be right back through the portal to safety. Or what was at least safer then this.
Enif is following Cas to the barracks.

Havasu Falls, Squire of Pluto
Havasu stumbled under the oppressive weight of Chaos as he exited the portal. It was hard to catch his breath and all he really wanted to do was curl up into a ball and disappear but he had a job to do, and come hell or high water he would do it.
It didn't take long to find Phact, there was a crowd around her. He kept quiet and let everyone talk. Like Sabine, Hav would go where Phact told him to. This was her show he was just a player in it. As the questions swirled around him he focused on the environment.
There was obviously the castle... the creepy, huge, messed up castle that he was pretty sure was Cinderella's castle's ugly sister. And if the group of people already heading towards it was any indication then that was where the majority of the fighting would be. A good fight would be fun but he already felt his eyes drawn to a ramshackled building.
It was covered with crystals and really could only be described as ruins... and it called to him. Something in him wanted to go to that building. Wanted him to enter those doors. Hav held firm by the group's side regardless of what he wanted to do. The last was a barracks. Nothing special... and nothing he really wanted to check out even if it seemed that Sabine really wanted to.
He focused back on the group when Sidouer called his name. It took him a fraction of a second to realize that the senshi of static asked him to join her in the broken building. After a glance a Phact he nodded and said, "Sure. I'm in."
((Going to the Ruins))
Mlinzi, Guardian Cat
Mel felt a growl build in his chest as he landed in the negaverse. It felt wrong... it just felt so wrong. He stuffed those feeling down deep and stuck close to Kastra. They were in enemy territory and even the airhead of a cat could tell that wandering wasn't advised.
((Going to the Barracks))
Antares, Senshi of Scorpions
Antares' anger fizzled the moment they stepped through the portal and for once she was glad for the pressure of Chaldene's and on her wrist. The shear weight of chaos mentally threw her off balance. How anyone could survive here was beyond her comprehension. No wonder negaverse officers all seemed a little cracked. Unlike Chaldene it took her a bit longer to realize just what was going on, it wasn't until the pressure of his grip disappeared that she realized that he had already decided on a plan of action.
"Wait... What?" She was confused. He was going to towards the Castle, that much was clear but what was this nonsense about her going somewhere else. Since he hadn't gone far she stomped up to him, her anger in full force, and promptly sucker punched him in the arm. "If you think for one moment I am going to let you get your a** handed to you by whatever is guarding that place then you are out of your damn mind." She punched his arm again, "and that was for grabbing me"

Super Elpis // Sailor Ferris
She was not going to lose focus. She was not going to lose focus. She was not-
"Inigo Montoya." Elpis said finally, looking highlycaught for her fascination with a film. "And we might need distraction and speed. Depends. As for fighting, pretty sure we can use conventional fighting - kick, punch, pretty much things like that. My magic can tear someone up if we need it, too." Elpis motioned. "So I guess I'm Wesley or Buttercup?" A shrug.
"A back entrance might be a good idea. Once they realize we're attacking, they'll probably go to defend the gates. We can try slipping in from behind, if we're careful." Elpis grinned. "And with distracting them, we might eve get through without fighting one or two."
She didn't want to harm EVERY Negaverse agent. Some could still purify, and she wanted that opportunity clear to the Negaverse.
Ferris beamed to Cybele, the refences helping ease the anxiety a bit of their situation, and she nodded before motioning to Lacrimosa.
"My magic is only a distraction too, actually." She admitted softly. "Buuut I'm used to fist fighting." Ferris beamed - proudly. "It's what you gotta do sometimes when some jerk accosts you for wanting to dress up real nice and pretty."
She tossed her hair, and grinned proudly.
"I'm all for this plan, though, if you guys are. I just hope we can pull it off! I mean - it would be great to surprise the enemy and crush them where they stand. ... Though."
Ferris blinked. "Why let anyone stand? Elpis?"
Elpis grinned. "Purification. Give them a choice. Plus.... Killing isn't ok. I'm not stooping. You guys can... I won't."
Elpis and Ferris are having fun storming the Castle!... Eventually LOL
