Welcome to Gaia! ::

Corrupt Mauvian Obscura

Obie was happy to have Tiberius' insight on what could be going on. Like him she knew it felt sorta dark, but not what she was accustomed to from her fellow chaos agents. So, at the very least she knew none of them were behind what was happening here. It could be a Dark Mirror thing, but she only knew about them from their own database, she had yet to experience anything about them herself.

"Here's hoping it's the less bad of those options." As curious as she was about what was happening, she didn't want to get into too much trouble on her own. At least Tibberius was here, hopefully his experience would help her through whatever these shenanigans were.

"Right behind you!" Obie chipped as she picked up the pace to follow after the much larger mauvian. They weren't on the move long before things started to shift around them. Even she stiffen up, alert to what was happening. Tiberius was quite the agile creature though, and strong. He picked her up with ease and attempted to get them out of harms way. It was a nice thought, despite how futile the effort was.

Lieutenant Strengite

Silver eyes took in everything, and everyone, around her as she moved deeper and deeper into the mist. She saw Senshi, Dark Moon, Cats, and other officers. Every faction, as far as she was aware, was represented which meant that this mess wasn't likely a thing set up by one side or the other. This was going to be another one of the random strange events that just showed up sometimes. Although there were several times she had been caught in an unauthorized Negaverse incident at which point the officer in charge had to be put down like the rabid dog they were. It was possible this would be yet another one of those but Strengite just wasn't sure on that. It just didn't really have that kind of feel to it... not that she had the experience to actually have a definitive answer. It was just what she felt.

Any real thoughts on who had set this whole s**t up went out the metaphorical window when the mist seemed to become electrified. It vibrated and swirled, moving faster and faster as it, and everything else, was being drawn towards the center of the space. There was no escape, no purchase for hands and feet, nothing to grab a hold of for more then a few moments. She was being drawn in just like all the others. She voiced only one thing right before the bottle swallowed her down some twisted vortex, "********!"

Sailor Botein

Botein was new to this whole world, this 'War'. She was still a new senshi, still a baby as it were. Fighting wasn't something she was use to but now she would need to learn. It was something that she had no option but to take up since it was her very life on the line. Her life and everyone else that she cared about. Her mother, her father, her neighbors and friends. Even the animals that she cared for. They were all at risk in this magical fight that encompassed the city on a daily basis. So in an effort to become more familiar with this new side of herself she had taken to powering up whenever she got a chance.

It was strange to feel the magic flow through her. To see her mundane outfit change into the much more ornate one that she wore as Botein. The chill tended to reminded her that her magical uniform wasn't exactly created for winters on the east coast. Maybe for the southern states but even that would be pushing it. Her bare belly and arms was a good indication of the decidedly inappropriateness of her outfit for this chilly weather. But she had learned of a special little 'trick' where she took off her civilian coat, powered up, then put back on her coat for a mix of magical uniform and mundane warmth. It really did the trick especially on this night when the chilly air nipped at her nose turning it, and her cheeks, rosy.

The young senshi stuck to the shadows in the heart of the city, doing her best to understand the auras around her. Even being told about them didn't mean that she had really figured out how to read and use them. The cat who had awaken her hadn't been helpful at all. She honestly figured he was a few cards short of a full deck even though that was mean. He had been a sweet cat, scatterbrained, but in general rather kind. Just exceedingly unhelpful. The knight who had saved her from the monster, the youma she corrected herself, had been much more informative. Botein received a crash course in being a senshi from that knight.

That was why she was being so cautious about her actions. She didn't want to cause any problems for herself or anyone who might step in to try to save her. But even acting with care didn't save her from getting involved into something way beyond the new senshi's depth. The dark mist drew her in before she could do more then gasp in surprise, the invisible barrier keeping her from getting out. No matter how much she beat on it, or kicked it, she wasn't able to get out. She was stuck in this strangely dim, mist filled prison. A prison that rapidly begin to change with the mist swirling and spinning around her. It tugged and pulled and sucked her towards the center of the space, the figured of others appearing out of the gloom. They too were trapped in the current, various curses and calls fading out as one after another the people disappeared. Her own cry lost to the mist as she joined the other unfortunate souls being trapped in the bottle. Leaving nothing behind but a simple, sealed, ship in a bottle. Lost and forgotten in the brown and dying grass of the park.

Corrupt Mab

Oh good, apparently there was an over-all effect Mab's affectation was having upon the poor little Halloween princeling in his Edwardian-court themed costume and garish spangles. The senshi of spindles didn't require the perfect arch of her brow nor the drama of the winged eyeliner she wore to express pleasure at his expense, nor distaste at having to suffer Versailles' 'boorish' manners.

Retrieving her hand to inspect her painted nails as though he might have chipped the pointed tips, Mab regarded Versailles much as an undergrad might a pile of lab-work. "As far as I'm aware, we get to chose nothing when we start this gig sweet pea, and that's the long and short of it."

All the training and work she'd done under the tutelage of the big lemon brute gave Mab an advantage of information and knowledge she could have shared, but this upstart would only receive the lashing of her tongue.

"And it's Mab, you mannerless cretin. How could you shake a lady's hand like that? Positively barbaric." More would have come from the senshi's painted lips, but the air around them changed, growing strange and heavy as though the atmosphere had been sucked out of it for a moment. All pretense gone, Mab cast around them for some visual clue about what might have caused it, dismay written across sharp features as the strange magic began swirling back into some kind of funnel.

"This has gone absolutely pear-shaped." An accent still coloured the corrupt of spindle's speech, but it was once again the posh British tones rather than the twangy Southern drawl. She watched the magic swirl up the others into blurs of colour that were drawn back towards an apex she couldn't see and automatically reached out to grab Versailles by the arm when said magic sucked at her costume and limbs, drawing both corrupt senshi inexorably towards their unknown fate.

Corrupt Sailor Nembus

She wasn't really sure if she wanted to bother patrolling anymore.

She definitely wasn't inclined to collect energy for the moment.

Was there any point now that she knew the truth? She didn't know. Did she really want to keep serving a purpose she had been forced into? Was it a purpose she truly cared about? Was it the right purpose? Could it ever be the right purpose if she had been forced to obey it without any real given choice?

Nembus sighed, wringing her hands. She was left with no foreseeable option but to go forward. If she made clear her nerves, it was unlikely she would be left to wallow in them. Knowing what the Negaverse did, even on some level, made her almost certain there would be some sort of punishment involved. She didn't want to be punished. She didn't know if she would even know that she had been punished in the first place. Could she possibly know she did anything?

She hated being lost to her thoughts, and fortunately, it seemed that Destiny City always had just the cure for that.

The sudden appearance of a very strong energy signature quickly caught her attention, and her first instinct was to walk away from it. She knew it couldn't be anything good. Nothing in this city was ever anything good, it seemed, and did Nembus really want to be part of any of that? Maybe she could just turn around, go back to the apartment, and bury herself in bed. That sounded like a good idea. She would go do that right now--

Nembus paused after that, glancing back towards where the park seemed to be encased in an odd, swirling black mist. Then again, perhaps she should check it out? Maybe some of her friends were in there? What if her general was in there? She would likely be expected to follow if that was the case.

Unable to resist her own temptation, Nembus gave up, turning towards the swirling mist of the park and ... promptly finding herself drawn into a dark glass encased world from which there was no foreseeable escape. Nembus certainly tried. She turned around and slammed her hand against the invisible wall, cringing back in pain when that did nothing but give her a bit of a sore wrist. It was throbbing. Mistakes were made, because of course, they were. She should have listened to instinct. She had been, most assuredly, better off on the other side of this mist barrier.

There were signatures of a more familiar bent in the area, and for a moment, she was fairly sure she spotted Stillwaterite near the center of all of it. Her instinct told her to go say hello, but there was another part that was concerned about talking to her at this point. What if was problematic for--

Why was the air vibrating?

Nembus felt goosebumps form on her skin as the air around her suddenly seemed to change. She felt her hair stand on end when she suddenly felt a strange pressure on her body.

And then, she was gone.

Sailor Hydrus - DMC Super of the Leviathan

Hydrus returned the look at Aurostibite with an exaserbated widening of his eyes. Why was she like this? He thought after the whole Mirror Space incident with Pandora's Box, she'd perhaps, resist the urge to get into trouble. He straighted as Mintaka moved and then launched out her own magic to counter some poor child's panicked attack.

"Mintaka! That's just a child!" he said in a panic. He pulled his sleeves up to cover his face from the explosion paper cranes. Hydrus saw flashes of black, flashes of mania creep up his arms. It was Pandora's Box all over again, the madness the chaos the drowning the---

He took a steadying breath and focused on the white haired woman in front of him, and her companion. He caught the glance from Auro again, giving a hard look at Stillwaterite. If he had any say in the matter - which he didn't he knew - he'd never let Mintaka hang with this particular corrupt again. Or let her leave the house. That, however, was not exactly sensible. Mintaka was her own person and if she wanted to hang out with corrupts with mystical bottles of unknown mist then that was her choice and all he could was just worry and frown and cross his arms and sigh.

Then go rescue her, like the good brother he was.

He turned his attention to Kainite and Auro, who was now trying to bodily block his wife from the agent. There was some unspoken issue there, and Hydrus would have asked him if Mintaka hadn't just... introduced herself. That was one way to deal with that, he supposed. He stepped around Mintaka and frowned. Was the mist getting... thicker?

It was, wasn't it? Sort of like a galaxy soup. He stared at the mist as it began to move - no that was the air humming and vibrating against his skin. The air pulled at him and he reached for Aurostibite, only to find him no longer there. Then Mintaka winked out of existence, as did the corrupt and the one she called Acubens and person after person vanished.

His eyes trailed to the bottle, where the mist was rapidly vanishing into again. Not good, not good. Oh why did he do this? Why couldn't he just stay at home and with tea and have a happy evening?

Because he cared far too much about Mintaka to let her go at this sort of thing alone. Even if she was the cause of ti in the first place.

"Not again..." sighed the Senshi of the Leviathan, feeling the tug against his bones as the world winked out around him.

Sailor Meissa

Sticking close to Moira was what she had intended to do. Meissa had been actively looking around at the park's new color scheme in short trips and going back to check on her new ally. Basic senshi - the both of them - and quite unprepared for what was happening. But what was happening? On a return trip the Bobcat Senshi could feel the air around her start to vibrate and all of a sudden the swirling darkness around them was being siphoned into a tight twister of black. Without much to go on Meissa shouted Moira's name before finding herself sucked into the miasma that slowly dissipated as it was all sealed up inside the bottle.

'Just hold on Moira. I'll be finding you shortly.'

Sweenys_Revenge

sucked in, lost track of Moira. Willing to hunt her down.

Aogashima of Cosmos


Was he... in distress? Aogashima couldn't quite figure out what was happening, but then... he chuckled, and she began to wonder if he wasn't taking her seriously. Inwardly, she felt maybe a tiny bit frustrated- her own sister didn't take her seriously, after all, neither did her sister's best friend, so for a total stranger to do this was maybe a tiny bit disheartening.

But he was asking her name and if she was new, so maybe she was simply jumping to conclusions... maybe.

"I was recruited a few months ago, but I'm doing my very best!" she told him, still very upbeat, "I'm Aogashima, I'm, um... a Page of Cosmos?"

She wanted to chat some more, to get to maybe know some more about him and how much he knew about idols- such as who he oshi'd- but then suddenly, the mist began to swirl, they were all swept up into it, headed for a yet unknown destination. Where they were going now, she didn’t know (though was that a bottle she saw?), but perhaps this was just one more trial on the road to become the center nova idol she dreamed of being.
