Welcome to Gaia! ::

Orion's question was a welcomed relief from his thoughts. The dark look on his face was replaced with his characteristic grin as he removed his hands from the back of his head to offer a shrug. "It was like this, man: I was on patrol, I heard a scream. I thought it was a civvie, so I to to help right?"

"Turns out it was a girl running from a youma, except the youma was all boxed up like in a coffin. I run up, punch it, and next thing I know I'm getting yelled at. She hits it, it dies on top of me, and before you know it I'm now the king of stealing youma kills while she's prancing around in her dusty rags going on and on about how being a senshi is girls only and jazz."

He replaced his hand on the back of his head, freezing in his relaxation process to stare. "Is that a space leopard over there? Huh. Weeeird."

Merope's attention was pulled away by Kurma. "Hey, Kurma!" He called, "We can't exactly use our home planets as a safe place either. And if we can't come here... " He trailed off, removing one of his hands to vaguely indicate the space around them. "Where can we go? I dunno about you, but I'd honestly prefer somewhere that small groups of us could go, y'know? Some of us don't exactly get along with each other."

As much as he loved the Pleiades base, in its current state even he knew that it needed reinforcement. And new locks. He couldn't help but to glance back at Orion, quietly hoping that he wouldn't bring Requiem there.

After wriggling through the crowd of senshi to press herself against the wall, Sinon listened to the stranger with curious eyes. She had never seen him herself, but certainly heard of him from others. Although wary of what he said, the redhead decided to listen to his directions and found herself in the black void of space.

She tried to hold back a string of swears. How was this possible? Just as possible as traveling through space, apparently. Pursing her lips, Sinon forced herself to calm down and stare back at Kurma. A meeting place in space? That was a rad thought, but she scowled when he pointed out the obvious cons. Crossing her arms, she pouted and looked through the crowd for a familiar face. With so many senshi, surely she could spot someone she knew! None particularly stood out—save for the small chibi senshi with star-themed clothes. Huh, she had seen the child before, right? Filled with innocent curiosity, Sinon wandered over to the senshi.

“Why out by yourself?” she questioned casually, eyes wide.

“There's too many of YOUR MOM,” Andeon yelled back at Kurma, the one attached to Mackenzie's leg actually climbing her like a tree until he was quite snugly wrapped around her. He craned his neck to follow where Neso was going, watching until a little globule of golden Space Beer went floating by. Andeon sucked it in with a surprisingly girlish giggle, content to simultaneously cling to Gemini Beta and look up skirts

Wait.. why did eskimo have white fur up there?



Meanwhile, Jenny was floating through space. She was pirouetting and flipping with all of the grace that she had always lacked under the oppressive rule of gravity. However, there was still the small fear that she might float off without even an oxygen tank to help her rocket her way back like that one handsome man from Armageddon. And so she reached out, taking hold of the first solid thing that she could.

Which just so happened to be Kurma's ponytail. Jenny took hold and pulled herself back towards their mysterious guide gently, wrapping her arms around his neck to hold herself in place.

Not because he was a dreamy space explorer. Which was pretty close to an astronaut! Oh, he was like a super astronaut! How dreamy.

Calypso did well to keep in the giggle that would have otherwise escaped her, her body floating behind Kurma like some kind of frilly human cape, “But there's only Space and Earth, isn't there? And Mars. And Mercury! And Pluto- oh, but Pluto isn't a planet anymore. Do we have to go to a planet? I'm sure if we went to Pluto they might consider making it a planet again.”

"I'm sorry." Chronos offered to Neso quietly. In truth, she had almost wanted to skip this. And if she had, she would have worried them all, so she was glad that ultimately, she had made the right decision. A grin tugged on the corner of her lips as she watched Andeon's drunk antics; it was enough to make her forget about her guilt momentarily. And then there was also Snuzzles, and she reached up a hand to pat him comfortingly. "It's alright." She said. "You know how he is."

The next thing she knew, however, they were whisked away into... what looked like space, and for a moment, she stood there, frozen in place. It looked so familiar and a dim part of her memory was ringing. She clung onto Neso, staring wide-eyed at Kurma. "Who is he?" She asked the Zodiacs quietly.

And then other senshi mentioned home planets. Unconsciously, the Princess of the Zodiacs gripped her staff tighter as things began to make sense. Perhaps the Zodiac Castle?

...But from what she could remember of it, the Castle had been protected from Chaos monsters by the power of the Opal Crystal. And now with the loss of that protection... it wouldn't be safe.

Orion blinked at that whole story, Req had never mentioned it to him and neither had Merope up to that moment. He was kinda bummed that his best friend and his girlfriend didn't seem to get along at all. Maybe they'd make up...eventually...hopefully.

Kurma's words turned his attention off his own problems. Somewhere to go? Home planets had already been offered up multiple times and he couldn't really think about where else they could go. A thought occurred to him and he spoke up looking to Kurma. "Hey, you have super special powers right? Could you make us a space in space? Like a really big space pocket or something?" He didn't even know if it was possible, but it was worth a shot.

When Requiem bumped into her, the Senshi of Smoke latched on to the smaller girl. "Good, you're here. We need to amass the others. Don't let go of each other," she said quickly.

Using Gunn to turn herself back upright (what was up, anyway?), Ares tried to move closer to Kurma, but failed, again, miserably. "Answer to what?" she shouted. No doubt many of the senshi who had not known her before might know her now as 'that loud, uppity b***h in the cape.' Hopefully others would see her as no nonsense, no bullshit, just answers. Either way, Ares was more concerned with drilling Kurma than what the others thought of her rigid opposition. "None of us asked to come out here. You called this meeting, Kurma. We came. And now you tell us that your entire plan was to take us to space and then... nothing? Your planning lacks follow-through, foresight, and... well, everything. Why bring us here at all?"

As far as Ares was concerned, the BMC was doing just fine planning and talking on Earth. Gray eyes found Gunn. She gave her a nod that said yes, fine, soon. A planet would be better than this, but they would need to get all the Blood Moon senshi together first.

As Themis once again went rolling, amused giggles again came from the Senshi of Fortitude, who at least seemed to have a propensity for staying upright. Maybe it had to do with boobs - the great natural flotation device. Hmn....

Bell looked over to whoever it was that Themis was calling over, after helping him again get situated upright of course, with a friendly expression.
"Hello~"

In the back of her mind she was mulling over ideas. That's what they were supposed to be doing right? Brainstorming?
