Arthur the Order Guardian Cat

Arthur generally didn't make it a habit to investigate weird energy signatures, but he was close by and such a sudden and large signature had him wondering what was going on. Curiosity - as it went. He just hoped it wouldn't get him in the end.

As he entered the mist, he moved to feel more energy signatures moving in the powerful mist. It was harder and harder to track now. It was easier to rely and smell and sight, and he soon moved to spot someone familiar.

"Chemo!" He said, leaping up onto the girl's shoulders and purring loudly. "Do you know what is happening?"

Cheomseongdae, Page of Cosmos

Cheom was startled, initially, by the sudden weight... The rather large energy signature she was suddenly enveloped in was more then a tad distracting... But then she gave a weak smile, as she realized who had joined her. "Arthur. It is good to see you, but no... I don't have any idea what is going on here."

She reached up to carefully balance her (currently) smaller friend, making sure that when she moved he would not need to use his claws to hold on to her in any way, and she began making the attempt to get back OUT of the mist. When this proved to be both pointless and frustrating, she turned back and moved away from the line that seemed to mark the 'Thou Shalt Not Pass' point.

She found a bench and moved to settle herself down on it, patting her lap to offer Arthur a more comfortable perch. "Do you have any ideas, Arthur? If not, we might need to explore a little."

Basiluzzo Page of Uranus

Basiluzzo had admittedly been excited to learn how things operated from Encke's side of the board. After so much time with Encke out alone, Basiluzzo was just glad to be out there with him. At least this way he didn't feel like he'd be in the way if he tried to follow along, and at least this way he'd have some recourse if something happened. Enough had already happened to him as Richard that he didn't really have any illusion about if anything could happen while he was Basiluzzo.

Hell, from what he understood, there was even the likelihood that being Basiluzzo instead of Richard would draw even more attention. Only, this time, it wouldn't be his energy or whatever the hell that they were after.

He still remembered Faustite, and not fondly.

Encke had been very clear that Basiluzzo was not to confront Faustite under any circumstance should they run into one another, but Basiluzzo would be a liar if he said there wasn't a part of him that was sorely tempted to disregard that warning. Luckily, he didn't tend to be a fool any more than he tended to be a liar.

That being said, when the black mist surrounded them, Basiluzzo stuck close to Encke. He'd felt the "weight", sure, though he hadn't quite realized what it was until Encke said something. But now it didn't look like they had any choice in the matter. So, at the very least, he didn't want to get separated.

"So what do you want me to do, then?"

Eion Risk

"Play mental gymnastics with it if you want." What this girl believed — how stubbornly she thrust her head into the sand — was a decision with which only she should be concerned.Eion's fingers trailed down the invisible barrier, waiting, testing, assessing.

How cripplingly blind ey was here, with no auric sense to inform on this strange predicament. This trap. Whoever sprung it with a collection of different people, by look — senshi and agent, perhaps knight, dark mirror. Why trap this group? Was it for one person? What a question. But 'why' wasn't the question asked to buy their passage out of the park and back into their lives, back into their skin. 'Why' was the question belonging to socialites for time to waste on their own boredom. 'What' was for the engineers, the magic aficionados. 'How' was for the victims, the kidnapped plenty.

As Eion's thought's returned, his new companion grew theatrically insistent about the park canter, which only lured them closer to the too-fast likes of powered individuals. Would she notice how much more quickly they moved, reacted, sped away in a sense of danger? Would she write it off as natural marvels of the human body when she watches one crest a tree? Eion smiled to emself.

Hands slipping into pockets, Eion acquiesced to her direction. "You remind me of someone. He liked theatrics too — and spending his words surdly. There's a charm to it, isn't there?" His attention lit on the trees, on unrecognized faces, on how mottled bruise of shadow and light reshaped brilliant color and flawless makeup into the same pallor.

He died from something like this. Another magical occurrence. A boy melting into a monster." Eion half-turned with the girl still following em, their names unsaid, their identities trapped in themselves, their sense suspended, their allegiance temporary. "What a waste."

Basic Corrupt Senshi Versailles

Versailles could feel his eye trying to twitch as he heard the other talking in their "Southern" accent. It was one of the most horrible combinations he had ever seen or heard. He supposed that the Negaverse was desperate. No, this other corrupt would certainly not be on his list of "acquaintances" on his known corrupt list.

He shrugged. "I would assume the palace. Though I didn't get to choose my name, I think it fits though." He said, moving the hair that fell in front of his face again behind his ear. He noticed the switch in her accent, but said nothing. Clearly this corrupt was making fun of him. Well now, he had someone he could compete with at least, if they were any good.

He took the offered hand, though he shook it lightly, not wanting to lower himself to doing what he figured she wanted him to do.

He let go of their hand, but instead crossed his arms. "I suppose we have now, though I still haven't gotten your name. But I'll get it in time." He said, giving her a small smile.

He wasn't one to play fake, but he would do what he needed to get to the top, and if he needed to crush this corrupt in the process, he would do so. Though this other senshi was starting to annoy him. What did they think this was? A beauty contest? Or some kind of fake show? He was surprised that the Negaverse got anything done at this point considering how competitive they were against each other.

Arthur the Order Guardian Cat


"I have absolutely no idea." He said with full confidence as he slid off her shoulder into her lap. "But whatever it is, it's not normal and certainly might hurt some innocent people. It's best to be on guard and careful of this mist. This could be Chaos related and we'll need to see a way to get rid of it."

He curled up in her lap, glad for a few pets during a mission. "Should be look for others?"

Corrupt Eternal Stillwaterite

Being surrounded by Chaos signatures, it was like a spot of ink on a clean piece of paper when the Order signature showed up. Brows lifted into bangs as Stillwaterite slowly turned to regard the knight who just sidled up beside her. Well. She could not deny that that took confidence, craziness, or a bit of both, and she had to hand it to the woman. She was amused and impressed.

"We didn't know either." She returned. "Surprise~"

The corrupt paused, though, as the bottle in her hands started to vibrate.

Eurydike

"Didn't anyone ever tell you kids 'just 'cause you can doesn't mean you should'?!" he snapped back in a gasping sort of growl. "We don't know what the ******** this trouble is, an' there's ********' generals crawlin' all over this place! Just ********' trust me on this, you gotta be - "

He missed a beat, catching sight of one general in particular. " - careful, " he finished, trying to keep the same fire alight in his voice, looking away and trying to pretend that he hadn't seen the smile in her eyes. But it was like the wind had been knocked out of his sails, and his heart was pounding so loud in his chest, he might as well have been pounding on his damn drums. Eurydike swallowed hard. "Just. We're stuck here now, so. Stick close, okay?"

You sayin' that for their benefit or yours, tough guy?

Then, whoosh, away they went.
