Eternal Aegir - PINK DOOR:: Reading Celsus' note and creepin on Corvus
Through the pink door and into an oddly shaped room with - of course - more books and two more of the coloured doors. Aegir tilted his head a bit and moved quickly to the dangling note to read it aloud. "'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!' It's signed "C".
Aegir released the note and watched it sway for a moment, "So I guess we group up and get our keys before we pick another door."
There were a great number of choices: if this had been a battle, he would have taken on one of the chibi or basic senshi. And Adria so he could keep an eye on him. But this was supposed to be simply games, without danger. So instead he sought the saucy feathered girl [Corvus] that had teased Celsus earlier, and gave her a courtly bow. "Shall we hunt together? I promise, I'm more useful than I look."
Would he help others too? Yes, of course, that was how he worked.

Irkalla, Choosing the Forest Green Door, Open for Interaction
Irkalla followed everyone in her group through the blue door and found herself in another room. At the end of the square room sat two more doors and Irkalla glanced at each one in turn before going over to investigate a piece of paper that was posted between the doors. Reading over what it said the Cosmos page sighed before glancing around the room mulling over where the keys might be hidden. Her gaze caught on the curtains but instead of going straight over to them Irkalla ran her fingers down a few of the book spines before turning to watch everyone else filter into the room. She wanted to check the curtains but the books kept calling to her. With a rueful chuckle Irkalla made her way to the curtains and pulled the gold drapes back, checking the fabric as she went. Not here. I wonder where the keys are.
Eternal Corvus // Pink Door -> Hello, Goodbye Chariklo -> Snagged by Sunshine
"Stars and stones, I told you not to call me that," Corvus huffed at Chariklo, giving the giantess a stern look that lasted only a moment before she was smiling. She lightly swatted the other woman's hand away from her hair. She would have said more to the giantess had the games not right then begun.
"Celsus said to make new friends, Chari-- We'll catch up once this is over!" The Senshi of Vengeance smile brightly as she turned away from the Senshi of Seagulls only to come face to face with the blonde [Aegir] that had been attempting to charm Celsus earlier. He had done a rather good job of it, all in all, and now it seemed as though he were trying again with her.
"I would be most delighted, provided you'll share with me your name." She matched his bow with a curtsy, holding a gloved hand out to him as she smiled. "Pity these bows of ours aren't wings to help us fly, hm?"

[[ Myrrha ]], choosing the Magenta Door, Open for interaction
There was a small quiet moment in which Myrrha could see somewhat familiar faces in the crowds of both doors. She had only met a few of them once or twice but it was the memories associated that made her pause as she saw Cassiopeia head through the other door, opposite of what she'd chosen. The other familiar face that Myrrha was sure she recognized going through the blue door was Phact. Hadn't she met her and Sabine while in the Rift?
Focusing on the two doors now that were the new choice Myrrha observed the note on the wall. Considering the keys were hidden she could easily consider the keys as treasure that had to be found. Realizing that one key had already been found Myrrha tensed before shrugging her shoulders. The real treasure wouldn't just be a key in a room but whatever lay at the end of the journey. There was also the bonus of making potential friends in this little adventure. Myrrha eyed the colors of the doors before choosing to hang out near the one that sort of reflected her fuku's coloration. Well, a little bit of it at least. It would be the closest she could get actually to purple. She relaxed against the door as she watched the room fill up with more people.
The sight of an even more recently familiar face gave Scylla pause, and she gave her an enthusiastic finger-waggle. But now there was a new choice to be made. Normally, she might have chosen the Forest Green door. It fit her whimsy-controlled color scheme better, but when her eyes lit on the magenta key (a moment before someone else grabbed it), she knew that there was another color in the cards.
But BOOKS. So many books. The bibliophile in her screamed loudly, and Scylla bit her lip, meandering casually in- NO. KEY. She could come back for books. If their host would let her. (So many books.)
Still, there was one other key to be found, regardless of her door choice or her book lust, and Scylla restrained herself. Kind of. Either way, she continued to search for the Forest key. Some others may want that key, for that door, and she did so want to be helpful. Pacing around the regal, royal room, Scylla pursed her lips and considered. Stepping up to the window, she peered up at the curtains.
Tall host, meaning lots of places out of her reach the key could be hidden. Lots of bookshelves. So many bookshelves she might dig in like a tick and have to get dragged out. And she had to play hide and seek. Damn. She might have to give this knight she'd never formally met the Nemesis title.

Eternal Sailor Chariklo through the Pink Door and looking for a partner
Grinning a little as her hand was swatted away, Chariklo simply shrugged at the admonishment.
"You tell me not to do a lot of things. How am I supposed to remember them all?" she answered with a wink. And then sighed as the other woman turned away to talk more with Silence Boy. Taking a quick moment to make sure Corvus wouldn't see, Chariklo scowled and stuck her tongue out at Aegir, her eyes warning him to not mess with her friend.
Turning her attention back to the note, she read it through a few times, torn between being amused and annoyed. She'd have rather stuck with Corvus or Xibalba, but the note seemed to imply that she needed to branch out herself.
Dammit.
Well, there was no help for it.
"Anyone interested in partnering with a taller than average chick with great tits?" she called out, voice ringing with laughter.
--------------------------------
Xibalba, Page of Mars through the Pink Door and creeping on Connie
Xibalba had made his goodbyes to Caia and rushed through the door. Only to be confronted with a hanging note and his presumptive partner loudly putting herself on the market. Snorting a little, he could see the logic behind it. Celsus seemed to want everyone to make new friends. All well and good. Pausing a moment to glance around, he saw a girl bedecked in similar symbols as their host and headed towards her.
"Ah, hello lass," he grinned, doing his best to rope in his tendency to cheerfully leer. Chariklo would not hesitate to beat the hell out of him if she caught him perving on anyone. "Ye've got the same royal as Celsus, aye? Mind partnering with a rough auld Mars knight like meself?"
Glancing at the tall doors they were all now faced with, he laughed and shook his head. This was going to be interesting.

Sailor Arsinoe / through the pink door / Cadmus & Sumi
As Cadmus babbled on about his homeworld he smiled, taking everything in. He wished he had his notebooks with him so he could write it all down but he could most likely remember enough of it to at least put the asteroid on his list.
"Luckily asteroids don't have to be big to be useful. The one I'm from isn't that large either." He hadn't explored the entire thing but he had a feeling there wasn't much to it outside of the city he'd found. "Would you be willing to take me there some time? So I can see it for myself? It sounds a lot different from my home world and I haven't see one that's actually farm land before."
He spoke as they all made their way into the pink room and he had to give the place credit. For being pink, and not a good shade of it, the library didn't look bad. He wouldn't have picked pink for the wallpaper himself but the white was a nice touch.
And well ... books.
Shaking his head so he didn't get distracted he looked at the note that was hanging from the ceiling and then up at the doors. ".... that's going to be fun."
-----------------------------------------------
Mauvian Sumi / through the pink door / Cadmus & Arsinoe
When they made it into the library the kitten hopped off Arsinoe's shoulder and padded over to one of the bookcases. He set his paws on one shelf and pulled himself up until he was actually eye level with Arsinoe. "Look! There's books everywhere .... do we have to do the challenge? Can we just stay here and read?"
The kitten was overly happy to be in a library and completely ignoring that by climing up the shelves he'd given Arsinoe an idea.

Chibi Lepus | Pink Door | Megumi & Rhea
Arriving in the next room, Lepus saw the note about partnering up, and instantly knew who she wanted to pair up with. Turning to Megumi and Rhea, she grinned excitedly. "Let's partner up!" Lepus offered, though from the tone of her voice, it didn't really seem as if she was about to take no for an answer. Why would she? She thought they made a pretty great team so far, what with them all being chibi senshi (and Megumi her friend).

megumi and lepus team up?

Mauvian Etoile | Pink Door | open for interaction
Etoile trailed behind the group heading through the pink door, having yet to spot Lepus among the crowd. She knew that her senshi was here, but visually identifying her was another, as Etoile was a small cat.
Then someone mentioned partners, and Etoile thought she heard Lepus' voice... asking someone else to be her partner. Feeling utterly heartbroken, the little cat tried to find someone to partner up with, a pitiful look on her face.
Sailor Aquila - in the Blue door (Forest key still needed)
Four years, huh? Aquila wasn't sure if she should be impressed or not. She had no idea how long people usually did this stuff. Though come to think of it, once you're awakened, you're probably a senshi or knight for life. Then the question would be how long people actively do this stuff, and if they ever just stop and go back to being a normal civilian. That was something to think about.
She nodded at the knght's question. "Yeah, high school. I'm managing alright," she answered. She was inclined to follow the basic internet safety of not giving out too much personal information, but figured agreeing she was in high school was obvious enough.
At that point, the doors were opening and people started heading through. Not wanting to fall behind, she quickly said, "Looks like this game's getting started," then waved goodbye as she headed through the blue door.
The room beyond had lots of bookshelves, a big window, and two more doors, with a note taped between them. When she went over to read it, she found there was a little challenge to complete before they could pick a door. She turned and eyed the room for a moment before heading to a bookshelf to start looking. She started by looking between the books to see if there was a key tucked there, but didn't see one.
Megumi headed into the next room when everyone else did, to find a fun-looking triangular room with books and chairs and reeeeally tall doors. And a note hanging from the ceiling. She'd barely read the note before Lepus was inviting her and the other girl to team up. Megumi grinned back. "Sure! We can be Team Chibi!" she agreed.
She turned to look at the doors to consider how to reach the top of them. "Think we could sit on each other's shoulders to reach the top?" she asked. Then started to picture how that might look and said, "Maybe not, that seems too likely to fall over." After a moment's more consideration she proposed, "what about a human pyramid, like cheerleaders do? Two people stand next to each other on the bottom, and the third stands on their shoulders?"

Sailor Duhr | Blue Door | Harassing anyone who'll let her as she heads to the Magenta Door
She heard the red flashy fella mention the gym and was about to interject her own thoughts about how exercise was the best thing since breakfast when the doors suddenly opened. Not one to feel left out, the blonde senshi made sure she wasn't the last to enter the blue colored door.
Taking a step inside, her jaw hung slack at the sight. The room was pretty darn fancy, as far as rooms went. This Celsus fella had a better taste in decor than most girls Duhr knew. Gold trim everywhere, big 'ol fancy curtains - even the sheer number of books made her think she'd stumbled into a library of sorts. The dark haired senshi with flowing blue bows seemed stunned by the size of it all - hey, maybe she'd never seen somethin' so fancy either!
Her head turned when she heard someone mention the search for keys and blue eyes fell upon one of the most pretty and dainty lookin' gals she'd ever done seen. She glided across the room like she was practically floatin', her starlight colored hair staying perfectly still. Didn't even trip over her extra long gown or nothing. The princessy looking woman was being accompanied by a pretty brunette and a tall gentleman with a magnificent looking cloak, all three garnished in whites and golds that were almost as breathtaking as the room Duhr had shuffled her way into.
These people clearly knew what they were doing. Clearly.
Taking a few steps forward, she gave the trio a mock salute as the dainty one began looking through the bookshelf. "Have y'all ever seen anything quite like this place? Ah bet he's got a book about everything in here!"

Pharos waved to anyone that waved at her, but for the moment was intent to just observe. There were so many other's there and they were a beautiful and bright rainbow inside Celsus' wonder. It was a pleasant thought that made her wish that people would visit the surrounding more often. Maybe she could have a party in the courtyard of her wonder. Nothing like this, maybe just the team. She would talk to Celsus about it one day.
She moved further into the room and kind of just walked around looking at all the books on the shelves wanting to take one down and look through it, but she refrained. In the next room everyone talked and enjoyed each other company, but after a moment a note was noticed and they all went to look for the keys.
The magenta key was found quickly, but the other was still hidden. She turned and looked in her little corner, before raising her voice up to inform the room, "Green keys not over here."
Chibi Sailor Rhea
Rhea smiled and was about to thank Lepus and tell her sphere when another chibi walked about. A younger chibi, it seemed, and a very happy one. She smiled at that because it likely meant the girl hadn't had so many bad experiences as she had.
"Nice to meet you Megumi," she said softly, "I'm Sailor Rhea." She looked to Lepus. "I'm the chibi senshi of laughter ... my attacks are funny but effective."
She felt a little overwhelmed with so many other's around even if it was exciting, but when Aegir greeted her, she gave a small squeal and grinned excitedly at him. She noticed Adria as well and waved to him before turning back to Megumi and Lepus. It seemed a moment later it was time to try to move on.
Lepus suggested they pair up and Rhea excitedly nodded. At Megumi's suggestions she shook her head at the first, but grinned a wide grin at the second. "I'm a cheerleader! The pyramid would work really well." She looked to Megumi, "your probably the lightest. So you should go up, do you have good balance?"
She was so ready for this her feeling of being a bit overwhelmed slipping a way. A pyramid was something she knew, and knew well, she could definitely do that.

Dallol is going for the forest green door and open for interactions
It was probably a good thing that Aquila didn't ask Dallol some of the questions that came to her mind as the Squire wouldn't have been able to answer them. While it was mostly true that once awakened they would remain a Senshi or Knight for life, they always had a choice with regards to how active they wished to be as they divvy up their time between this and their personal interests as well as responsibilities.
Sensing the Senshi's eagerness to leave and commence the game that Celsus had readied for them now that both doors were open, she waved back to her as well, not wanting to keep her any longer than was necessary. "Guess I'll see you around then."
So much for trying to be sociable. Guess it just wasn't her thing and she was better off keeping to herself then. Shrugging to herself, Dallol made her way through the blue door, stopping to read the note that was taped between the next set of doors before deciding that she would help to check behind the drapes for either of the two keys that they were supposed to search for.
"Sure!" Cadmus almost cheered. The idea of just showing off his homeworld was probably more exciting than the trip itself. "We can exchange contact info maybe after this? Seems everyone is moving on..."
The senshi of cranberries moved in tandem with the rest of the pink door choosers, coming upon a room with sizable bookshelves and a note hanging from the ceiling. When it was his turn, he perused the hanging memo and then turned back to the guardian and senshi with a look of thought.
"No magic?" He frowned a little. "Where's the fun in that?"
He huffed a little, but his mind also brightened to Sumi climbing the shelves. "Oh? Oh," he said, snapping a finger and smiling to the kitten. "Sumi, you genius!" He looked to Arsinoe. "The shelves, they're like a ladder, right? Why not just climb up?"
