Super Sailor Cadmus || Pink Door || Interacting with Adria, Altair, Sumi, Arsinoe
Constellations glittered in his eyes, an excitement not rare in a young boy excited about pretty much anything. He looked almost ready to dance in place, but had to mentally remind himself that he was an adult and dancing in place was not very adult-like. Instead, with eyes settled on Arsinoe, he said, "Well, it's not a big asteroid, but—"
The teen stopped momentarily to beckon Adria closer, saying, "Oh yea, of course! So, anyway, like I was saying, it isn't a big asteroid, you can probably round it once if you run really fast in, like, a day. It's really warm, but not like tropical warm, spring warm... And the forests! The forests are so thick, but it always smells nice. Like fresh earth... I believe my homeworld was an—what's that word—agri-cul-tu-ral society. Apparently, "anything could grow in the ground." There's only one part that isn't, like, green. It's this wasteland surrounded by mountain, with a big tower in the middle called Cadmeia. It used to be a school for farming or something? I had to go there to become a full-fledged senshi. But other than that, I don't know much about it, but I can't wait to visit again."
The babbled for a bit more, talking of house in stilts and hunks of black rock in the wasteland, and found himself distracted enough to not take on poor Sumi. It was only after he realized he could go on for days Cadmus stopped, and said, "So, um, yea! That's about all I know. I hope that helps!" Then, looking to get some attention off himself, he focused his eyes onto Altair while holding up one of the tassels from his chest bow to the kitten for him to play with.
"Oh, oh, so you want to do something like this too, Altair?" the boy asked the other senshi. "If so, you can definitely see me there! Visiting other people's wonders and homeworlds is just as fun as discovering your own."
Long ago, Virgo had given Scylla a passport to the Surrounding. Since that time, the senshi hadn't had much reason to go, but yet- now, here she was, peering around with interest at the surprisingly large gathering. She'd heard that it was supposed to be a fun little obstacle course, and having seen few enough members of Order, she wondered if maybe she would recognize a few familiar faces coming out of the woodwork.
Well, there were indeed a few old faces, but so many new ones too! And so much tall that it was kind of hard to see around, but she moved around with open curiosity, giving their host a little wave as she made her way by, trying to decide between the blue door and the pink door.
Well, Scylla had never been a huge fan of pink anyway- she may as well go with the door that matched her outfit. Her golden heels clicked briskly against the floor as she made her way closer to the sky blue door. "Hello~" she sing-songed to the group, at least so she could claim later that she had tried to be social. There were some wonderfully familiar faces in this group too, but no one that she knew well enough to cleave to; looked like Scylla was going to be a free agent in this little obstacle course, at least for a little while.
"Oh yes!" Zeta quickly commented, glancing up at the man before averting her eyes. It wasn't polite to stare after all. Especially not a male clearly your elder. "Are you alright? I wasn't watching where I was going and..." She bit her lip and reached up to brush some of her hair away, clearly nervous. "There are just so many people. I've never seen so many gathered in one place like this."
Stealing another glance at him, she flattered at looked up at his head. "Oh. What are those?" Zeta asked rather confused motioning to his head pieces.

Sailor Myrrha , Senshi of Scents - Falling behind, but picking the blue door
It was a last minute decision that drove Myrrha to power up and seek assistance in reaching the Wonder of Celsus. She wanted to get a little bit of experience in space travel and while Scylla had promised to take her to her home world Myrrha had decided that to gain just a little more preparation would be a good thing. So it was with a bit of a feeling of being sneaky that she decided to go on this scavenger hunt of sorts. There was talk of a prize at the end and Myrrha was game to try and win but she was being realistic when she assumed there were greater chances that someone else would best her.
After arriving Myrrha thanked her escort and mingled at the back of the dwindling crowd. There looked to be a first decision already looming on her mind and she sighed before catching sight of a most familiar face lingering in the crowd around the blue door. Myrrha figured that she could always team up with Scylla if the opportunity presented itself. She had no real knowledge of what was going to happen but she was willing to find out.
Dallol is sticking with the blue door and open for interactions
Despite seeing the awkwardness with which Aquila brought both her hands down to pat at her hips before crossing her arms in the end, Dallol was tactful enough to make no mention of that as she kept the smile on her face the entire time. Wouldn't help the conversation if she put the other girl in a spot now yes?
”Neither have I though I've already been a Knight for close to four years now.” The look on her face grew distant as she thought back on everything that had occurred from her awakening to her encounters with Buddingtonite, Camelot, Leucite, Corinth and Harmonia.
”It's a little tricky trying to manage your time between school, family, friends and this. You're in… high school right?” She wouldn't try to pry if Aquila wasn't keen to talk about her civilian circumstances. After all, the both of them had only just met here at Celsus’ wonder.

Sailor Fenrir | Totally falling behind and wandering through the blue door [She's open for interactions!]
There really wasn't anything to prepare her for what awaited them once they arrived on Celsus. Heck, she admittedly hadn't known what a 'Wonder' was and thus had been quite curious. And yes, she had debated back and forth on if she wanted to go or not. But the truth was, she wanted to know more about everyone. Including homeworlds and wonders. Sooo... she'd sucked it up and went. Because really, what else did she have to do for the time being? It sure was better then working on homework...
Fenrir had remained staring in awe for far too long before she realized the dwindling of other senshi and knights. Shaking her head, she hesitated on where to head. Blue or pink.
Well, seeing a few other last minute folk move towards doors, Fenrir tailed after a few others through the blue door.
Castor- The man had no hesitation. Blue might have looked nice, but- pink was such a Chronos color. Obviously the safer door to take for this little adventure.
Polyduces- Without any hint of knowing just what was going on past the fact that he was there and trying his best to not get lost, the senshi of glaciers chose the blue door.
Spacewatch-
Pink she decided, was a much nicer color. Soft and probably harmless. It was supposed to be fun, but her own depression and pessimism wouldn't let her have fun.
Alphard-
Blue was his chosen door. Because that was a boy color and he was a boy and wow he was in space this was so cool and- he took a drag from his blunt. Space was so cool. That Celsus guy was cool. This place was cool. Space was a'right.
Paris
Picked the pink door after listening to Celsus talk. The man was certainly nice, and tilting his helm, the squire did his best to not bump into anyone with it on.
Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2017 7:25 pm
There was one person who seemed uninterested in doors of any color but rather interested in the Knight who'd invited so many to the surrounding. Hair no longer a rainbow, the zodiac senshi strod up to Celsus and stared at him.
"No one told me we were going to be having this many guests Celsus I don't have any snacks for them."
Cancer was 100% serious and 100% looking like she was actually worried about the snack situation. Then- "Please don't tell me... you brought all these people yourself." A beat. "OH MY GOD you did didn't you. Look at-" She puffed up her cheeks and looked at them then back to the Knight. "The princess is going to fret herself sick over you if end up passing out on your own wonder doofus."
Sailor Skadi // Blue Door~ // with Oberon and Oort and open for any & all interactions!
Skadi would recognize that voice anywhere, and when the other young Senshi waved at her she beamed and her lips automatically split into the largest grin she could muster up. "Oberon!," called and waved back enthusiastically- maybe a little too enthusiastically, but whatever. As soon as the duo approached she pulled him into a big hug and without skipping a beat she immediately threw her arms around the other boy that he had brought with him.
Skadi was not above hugging a stranger, and any friend of Oberon was a friend of hers!
When she pulled back she clasped her hands behind her at the small of her back and rocked onto her heels. "Nice t'meetchya Oort!"
This whole space adventure party extravaganza just got so much better!!! Not only was Oberon there but she was also making new friends and this was just the best day.
Glancing over Oberon's shoulder, she wrinkled her nose at the old dude [Sessrumnir] that seemed to follow him like a chaperone. "Who's that guy?," she asked Oberon and before even giving him a chance to reply she added on "and what's a Tomlin? You got attacked by creepy blob clone thingys!?"
This whole being a super hero thing seemed so exhausting.
Also, she didn't even realize she hadn't answered Oberon's initial question. Apparently Skadi was a little overwhelmed and excited.
Though Thraen did attempt to stay on the edge of the crowd, he was not missed by Celsus. A hand was lifted in a pleased greeting, Celsus waving to the senshi with a look of mingled surprise and happiness on his face even with the tiredness that still rimmed his eyes.
He would talk, hopefully, with Thraen later, when things were not so busy; but for the moment, he could simply appreciate that his friend had come.
ivynian
Odainsaker's gratitude was met with a small bow and a smile from Celsus.
"I do hope you'll have a good time," he told the page, eyes crinkling as he looked around the vast expanse of the front hall where everyone was gathered. There were a lot of people - more than he'd thought would be interested - and it both pleased him and made him nervous.
But he'd prepared for this. It would go well, that was what he would continue to tell himself.
lp
There was a familiar face in Erytheia, which Celsus found a nice surprise. The page was still relatively new to Celsus's list of acquaintances; but he found the young man both eager to learn and friendly to boot, which made his presence at his Wonder very appreciated.
meighei
Cassiopeia was a lovely, beautifully uniformed senshi who was met with a bow and a laugh at her exuberant excitement - which was, Celsus thought, rather contagious.
Themiscrya was a little more subdued, but no less welcomed - and her apparent acquaintance in Valhalla made Celsus all the more pleased.
Morgan's vibrant fuku received a secondary look, because Celsus was curious as to her sphere, head tilted in contemplation.
Metis had gone towards the apparently grumpy, older knight that Celsus had drawn up to the Surrounding, the one that he thought was probably related, in some way, to Valhalla.
Lich was a new one; Celsus made sure to greet the senshi with a warm, welcoming smile and an offer of assistance or guidance if he should ever need it.
kaefaux
Among the mass of people who required Celsus's assistance in getting to the Surrounding, there were several - such as Thraen - who had not needed him because they had passports of their own. Scylla was one such; Celsus caught her wave and given one in return, making a mental note to speak with the eternal later.
infinities
Myrrha was a quiet one upon meeting, but Celsus talked enough for two people, anyway; half out of habit, and half out of a nervousness he couldn't quite conceal because it was ingrained, and this was a great many people he would be directing soon.
Still. He was doing his best, and he hoped the senshi would do.
tefla
An unfamiliar senshi by the name of Fenrir had needed Celsus's assistance in getting to his Wonder. She was both enthusiastic and friendly, and he found her company quite pleasing, even as he deposited her carefully there and went to get the last of the stragglers.
Kyrieko
Castor had not needed Celsus's help; the last time that Celsus had seen the prince had been that disastrous gathering on the hill with Caedus, and it had not ended well. He gave the man a slightly wider berth than usual, if only because he wasn't entirely sure how to approach him just yet.
Polydeuces was a new senshi, judging by the looks of things, and Celsus happily took him up to his Wonder with the promise of future exploration.
Out of the group, Spacewatch was probably the oddest named and just on the cusp of a fully fledged senshi. She was received, however, with the same bright cheerfulness that all the chibi senshi were given by Celsus, even if she wasn't really a chibi.
Alphard seemed - well, slightly out of it. But he was a pleasant man nonetheless, and Celsus gave him a vague pat on the shoulder before going to fetch a nervous, skull headed squire by the name of Paris.
istoleyurvamps
There were a great many surprising guests at his Wonder by this point in time - but out of all of them, the one that Celsus had least expected was to turn around and find Cancer standing next to him, staring at him with an accusation in her eyes.
In spite of her exasperation, Celsus couldn't help but feel an instinctive swell of utter pleasure at her appearance, and she received a rare - and rather quick - embrace as he reached over and squeezed her shoulders before hastily letting go.
"I brought snacks," he said, with a wide smile. "And I believe the Princess will understand, don't worry. I won't pass out, I hardly feel faint at all."
Probably.

However, this is the last call for anyone still wanting top play who hasn't posted yet!
This round will end on February 5th at 6PM EST(ish)!
Quote:
If you have chosen the BLUE door:
You are in a square shaped room with dark, royal blue wallpaper and gold trim. It’s a very regal room, extremely pretty, and as in every room of the Wonder, lined with shelves of books. A large window tall enough for a full grown person to stand in is set into the wall, lined with heavy gold drapes. Across from the entrance, are two doors: one forest green, the other magenta.
There is a note taped to the space between the two doors. It reads:
There are keys here somewhere. Have fun finding it! -C
OOC: IN ORDER TO MAKE A CHOICE YOU MUST ALL FIRST ROLL 1d6! The first person to roll a 1 has found the Forest key; the first person to roll a 6 has found the Magenta key. You do not have to go through the door of the key you found, you are free to go through whichever you choose! The keys are merely required for anyone to go through.
Only one person needs to find a key! So one person to find the Magenta key, and one person to find the Forest! After that, there's no need to roll!
YOUR CHOICES:
Please post in BOLD DARK GREEN at the top of your post if you pick the FOREST door!
Please post in BOLD MAGENTA at the top of your post if you pick the MAGENTA door!

If you have chosen the PINK door:
This particular room is triangular in size, with two bookshelves bracketing the angled walls, and a set of comfortable looking chaise lounges against the flat wall that makes up the base of the triangle. The wallpaper is the palest pink, shot through with pinstripes of white, and the border along the ceiling is an elegant twist of white architecture in shapes of flowering vines.
Two doors stand next to the bookshelves: one is red, the other is brown. They are extraordinarily tall, oddly so, looking stretched beyond reasonable door height.
Hanging from the ceiling with a length of string is a note that reads:
In order to pass through these doors, you must find a partner and retrieve the keys that are atop each door in some way or another. There should be a key for every person. No magic allowed! Have fun! -C
OOC: IN ORDER TO MAKE A CHOICE YOU MUST ALL FIND A PARTNER! If there is an odd number of people, feel free to make groups of 3 or double up with other people! Everyone must come up with a way to retrieve the keys atop the doors before they can pass through. There is no wrong way of going about this! Just have fun coming up with a plan! Once you have acquired a key, you are free to pass through to the door of your choosing.
YOUR CHOICES:
Please post in BOLD RED at the top of your post if you pick the RED door!
Please post in BOLD PERU at the top of your post if you pick the BROWN door!

Hvergelmir - Magenta Door
Purification. If possible, Hvergelmir's smile widened fractionally at the explanation for how it was possible for her to have never met a fellow Cosmos knight before who'd already attained full knighthood. Purifications were, certainly, her special area of interest -- but more to the point, it was the fact that purifications lifted her spirits. When work had been slow, when few people were coming to her bench to talk, sometimes her hope started to flag, and she began to worry that their cause was failing to win over the hearts of their opponents anymore. It was a nice reminder that people still yearned to be free, to live the lives they believed in, out from under Metallia's yoke.
"Well," she said with warmth, "Congratulations on your journey. I hope our people have been treating you well -- and if you ever need anything, you can -- "
She was distracted by a gentle tapping on her shoulder. Hvergelmir looked over to find another one of the cosmos's chosen looking back at her. "Oh!" she said, pleased. "Hello again!"
She'd been desperately ill at the time with the flu, but Hvergelmir had a good memory, honed through a youth spent training for spelling bees in all kinds of creative ways -- and she knew this face. There hadn't been that many people that had stayed behind on that miserable, ill-fated raid on the Dark Kingdom, after all.
When the doors opened, all three Cosmos knights seemed to each find themselves going through the blue door -- which left them still together for the next challenge.
"Ah," she pronounced, "Cosmos knights stick together, don't we? Shall we start ruining Celsus's perfectly clean bookshelves looking for these keys?"
She began carefully sliding books down off of shelves. They were old and foreign, and Hvergelmir couldn't bring herself to treat them carelessly, so it was slow going -- and difficult not to get distracted by the symbols and illustrations on the covers and in the pages, or to think, I want to show this to Aquarius. Other people, working more quickly and with less interest in the books themselves, were probably searching much faster.
As people started to shuffle through the doors, Minkowski was baffled to find that there were another set of doors to pick from, and even more baffled to find that apparently, they were to look for the keys to unlock them. She supposed it would defeat the purpose of the game if there was no challenge.
There was no blue door this time around, and so Minkowski chose to linger near the forest door this time around, after a search for a key turned up no results. Green was sometimes considered to be a lucky color, and the petite senshi silently hoped that that 'sometimes' could be a 'definitely'.
Now to hope that someone found the key. For now, as she waited, Minkowski was content to admire the room they were in; while she generally lacked the time to sit down and read, blue was a color she happened to admire a lot.
Mag Mell has the Magenta Key -> With the Cosmos Crew
"They have been treating me most kindly. Corvus and Denebola have been my guardian angels and the man of the hour, Celsus, has been seeing to it that I make my way around to meeting others like us." Knights. Pages. Squires. Each new encounter left him feeling better; lighter.
His brow lofted at the arrival of a third Cosmos knight (Irkalla), smile still in place as he tipped his head in greeting to her as well. He wondered briefly if all lady knights under the banner of Cosmos were gifted with such beauty and grace in the costuming department or if he'd just been fortunate enough to somehow meet the two loveliest at once.
"I'm not sure what the trials of Celsus will bring, but should we find ourselves split up I would enjoy speaking with you more later." He directed his words to Hvergelmir first before looking to the other knight once more as well. "Both of you."
That said, Mag Mell followed Hvergelmir's lead, gently pulling books from the shelf one at a time. As fortune would have it, the first book he pulled was hollow. His lips twitched into a grin as he pulled a magenta key from within, closing the book and re-shelving it. "One down!"
Aue Gonna hit up the green door and also just watching ya'll scramble
A scavenger hunt to keep separating us and moving us? Aue's expression soured further; he'd been feeling a bit less grumpy because Phact seemed rather intelligent...but the additional mechanics of Celsus' little 'game' annoyed the big senshi. Still, he'd come. He would sort of participate. And it would be that forest green door that called to him. The magenta reminded him too much of pack things.
Instead of looking for one of the keys - which, that white haired guy and the chick with the really nice rack and rainbow-ish hair found one pretty quick - he just stood there with his arms crossed over his chest. At least, until he started looking at some of the book titles, in which case his actions weren't key hunting so much as scouring for knowledge. Wasted chance, all this.
