TIME TO PICK A NEW ZONE! Remember... Once you pick your zone you cannot change it and do not need to post your choice more than once.
While you can't change your initial zone, you can move around as much as you want in the lava beds.
Everyone gets the effects, not just those in the randomized square.
You have two hours to pick!

SQUARE 7
"Uh oh."
Those words issued themselves quietly from Sailor Atlas's mouth the very moment he noticed that his boot had kicked off of something soft and fleshy instead of the solid ground he was aiming for. And he almost didn't get to complete even those simple words thanks to the instantaneous reaction his mistake had garnered. The whiplash ache from the geyser-toss was still fresh in his limbs, but the mask smacking into his face was new and sharp and drowned out his other sensations, making him stumble backwards a few steps and instinctively throw up his arms to cover his face.
The expression Lieutenant Moonstone was regarding him with was one anyone would know all too well. It was occasionally referred to by his peer group as a 'batshit crazyface.'
"Sorry, I --" wait, why was he apologizing to a Negaverser? "Aaagh!" Atlas twisted in unnaturally graceful circles, attempting to weave his body out of the way of the girl's enraged strikes.

Zone 6.
Gigi stared in the direction of the man Ever had called to. "Waterjets are sexy?" asked the fifteen-year-old, confused. Or maybe old guys? It was probably better not to think about it. You could get into real trouble, trying to interpret dreams.
Like the way people were suddenly bouncing around like acrobats. "This dream has moon gravity!" She waved back as the boy left her, no longer frightened for the moment, and then bounced up to the perch Ever had abandoned, surveying the scene.
There was fighting, but it was like a stage spectacular, all costumes and special effects. She didn't know the story that went with it. Gigi watched, fascinated, content for now to just sit on the sidelines and cheer.

FIVE
At least Ganymede was moving now. "Are you crazy," she demanded of Azzo, black eyes narrowed to mere slits against the sulfur and just... well. It was the most cracked-out dream she'd ever had. When she stumbled backwards to avoid--well, she wanted to try and avoid Ganymede's attack, but come to think of it it wasn't really doing anything--she ended up doing possibly the neatest backwards layout she'd ever seen anyone execute.
The ******** she could do that, maybe she could... she decided to follow Azzo's lead, and picked up a rock in one hand. Maybe she should pick off the other Negaversers?... Ganymede seemed to be okayish, and Europa was handling herself. She couldn't bring herself to focus on Wolframite, but Alumo was attacking another civilian. Regular people had to stand together, didn't they?
Might as well give it a go. She wound up like they'd taught in baseball, senior year at Meadowview, and pitched a very nice curveball directly at the Negaverser's head. Maybe it would even hit?

Zone Four
Leto stopped again when she heard her named called- god damn was this ever frustrating. All she could do at this point was wander off into the general direction of where she thought the voice was coming from. She shrugged to herself and started walking to the direction to her left hoping that this would somehow take her where she needed to be. Thankfully there were only a few people fighting one-on-one or within small groups so she wasn't too concerned just yet. She sort of hop-skipped over geysers spraying up around her as she made her way into zone 4.
"Son of a b***h!" she yelled, a little louder than she really expected to as a geyser shot up suddenly and caught her left arm. With her right hand covering the area that got slightly burnt, she continued on her way, eventually coming to a stop in her new surroundings. At this rate she'd never find her team and she was pretty damn sure that if she got caught in the middle of this fighting alone she'd be royally screwed.

Zone 5
Azzo was moving pretty quickly looking for the source of the apple pie and Alumo's pole missed the civilian by mere inches. However that whoosh of air and the fact it came very close to the ribs that had been broken brought Azzo's attention back to the problem at hand.
Head snapping back to the captain eyes narrowed slightly. Azzo did not want broken ribs again. He attempted to grab at Alumo's weapon and restrict the movement. "If you want to fight someone fight them like a man." He growled, he didn't like his ribs being threatened.
Azzo's ears had picked up the are you crazy a little bit late "Yeah a little." He called not taking his eyes off Alumo.

Zone 4, bitches!
As Merlin stumbled Gianfar did his best to catch him and help him stay balanced, slipping on some water that had leaked onto the ground around them. He spun as he clung to the other senshi, practically performing a strange form of dance move while absolutely refusing to let go until he managed to catch his balance and stop. Whoa! That...that was surprising!
"Sorry abo--crap!" There was fighting going on and they were missing it! Gianfar let go of Merlin. "Come on. We have to help!" And why were there so many civilians around?! This wasn't the place for them!

Zone 4
Maia grinned at Zirconia, as she was picked up by Hypnos. It was cute and she would have an adorable story to tell the BMC later. She really hoped Zirconia did not get to angry with her. Maia had no problem with Hypnos carrying Zirc, after all senshi regularly roof hopped, she doubted carting a cat and a stuffed bunny would impede her movement much.
"Stay close," she said quickly before waving them forward and heading into where Zirconia had heard Leto or at least she thought it was the right way. Maia couldn't see her, but she trusted that the senshi was there somewhere.

SQUARE SEVEN is awesome for bone-crushing! biggrin
Why was this weakling Senshi apologizing to her? Pandora didn't bother thinking about it too hard, she was on the attack, her lips curved into a smile, her brows knit together in anger and rage and FIGHT!. It was what she had wanted, this whole time...and here, all but presented on a silver ******** platter, was a gawky, useless Senshi~
"If you hold still, I'll kill you mercifully." Moonstone was lying - of course she was lying to him, she was a Negaverse lieutenant! Sailor Atlas was going to suffer mightily before she was done with him...and those ridiculous circles he was using to dodge her violent attacks did nothing but make her smile more, make her more intent on doing as much damage as possible.
Oh, but she didn't just swing her mask at him - not at all - she would crouch down to sweep her leg out to trip him, or whirl around to kick at his head...anything. "Hold. Still!"

There had been geysers in the way before: it had been dangerous before. But now that Ever had decided this was just a dream and nothing could really do him damage -- after all, he had super powers, right? -- the whole thing seemed much more thrilling and less terrifying.
So instead of staying nervously where he was, he dodged around spurts of water, pools of water, hot stone. Unnaturally agile, it wasn't hard to flit his way over into zone 3.
There, he scrabbled up next to Tony, and offered a flash of a grin. He did look healthier here. Not hung over at all. He hadn't been drinking tonight. Unlike Tony's lady friend, he didn't play at polite, and his teasing was rough. "You're wearing less than I am."

Square 5
Whether it was stress or split concentration, the pressure was lifting and he was glad for it. He felt sick to his stomach with heat and woozy from being stuck in place. A geyser was bubbling under his feet for the past minute and he was doing slow sidesteps to move out of the way. One blew dangerously close to his left heel, and he stepped again, glad the could move away before the water falling back down got to him.
When he felt the pressure lift, he pulled his weapons in, and glared down Europa. A quick glance to Tate showed she was moving away, but he kept her in his vision to see if she was being attacked. Not so far, but either senshi, nega, or geyser could harm her. He wanted to be there, by her side, to make sure she was safe. Why was she even WITH the senshi and not running away? He had told her plenty of times to keep away from them!
Europa's comment made him snap back to attention. "You should have killed me, you coward. Now I'll make you regret that decision." He whipped his chain quickly, going for a long arch over a wide area. He wanted her to back the ******** off!, and if he could do it, he was going to grab one of those little ankles of her's and whip it right into a geyser to watch her melt like a toy soldier in the sun!

Zone four!
Wait.
What!?
Where was Gianfar going? Right into the midst of the battle, right where Merlin did not want to be? He paused, staring at Gianfar with an indeterminate expression. Did he feel some obligation to go help out his senshi buddies? Yes. But, was fighting also something he was morally against? Double yes. He'd fight if he had to, to protect someone, but right now he saw no one who would need him... and he'd rather not blindly jump into a fight.
Better yet, Merlin had no fighting skills what-so-ever. He was about as worthless as a ragdoll. "They don't look like they need us desperately!" he protested, but Gianfar was heading towards battle, and Merlin felt some obligation to help him. Feeling entirely helpless over the situation, he followed Gianfar.

Indecisive, so staying in Five.
Phew. Well, at least that had work. Er... um... well, he hadn't meant for Azzo to get in on the attack, too, but hopefully he'd be okay? It didn't really do anything. Making people smell stuff was kind of lame, in Ganymede's opinion. He had this hilariously fitting power and he couldn't even do anything cool or useful with it!
Although, he supposed the distraction was semi-useful. It at least allowed him to get back up on his feet.
Ganymede winced when Azzo threw a punch. Honestly, what did he think he was doing? He was a civilian! Shouldn't he be running away in fear? Ganymede would have... or he would have tried, and even though he wasn't a civilian anymore, that didn't mean he still didn't want to try. He just didn't feel comfortable leaving these two here with the freak with the staff.
"Nice throw," he told Tate, somewhat impressed, though he would have felt better if she and Azzo weren't there at all. They'd both come to his rescue, though, so he supposed they were useful for something.
Trying to figure out what to do now, Ganymede cautiously approached Alumo when he was still under the last effects of the smell. Azzo had gotten in a pretty good punch, and now he seemed to be trying to get a hold of his pole. Ganymede wasn't opposed to resorting to physical attacks if he had to. He'd rather not break his other wrist, though, so instead his used one of his strong dancer's legs and aimed a kick at Alumo's gut.

Zone 4!
Zirconia forgot how affection starved she was and was rubbing her face against the chibi-senshi's hand and purring before she caught herself. Oh right, geysers and negaversers.
She remembered what she didn't like about children, and also that she didn't really care for them in the first place, however, Hypnos seemed to be sanitary so she was exempt. Maybe if there was an ISS member around she would've straightened up a little more but for now she was fine with being carried. Now if only Leto would get in her line of sight her nerves would be successfully calmed.

Staying in 5~
He almost scoffed when Azzo grabbed onto his staff, but managed to hold back. Alright, so he didn’t get to hit him as he’d wanted, but he had a few other surprises up his sleeve. Oh? And apparently the civilian girl wanted to play a little game, too, huh?
It was then that Alumo smirked, still holding onto his staff with both hands, but with a little twist, the end that Azzo wasn’t holding on to broke free. A weapon now in each hand, he swung hard at the pitched rock, clipping only the edge of it and not knowing where it went, but as long as he had a stick to swing, he could at least block decently sized projectiles. He wasn't a Captain for nothing. Maybe if she tried a slider? He was never good at hitting those.
He would have liked to bring the pole around to whack Azzo in the side of the head to get him to let go of the other end, but Ganymede was up again. Alumo let out a little ‘oof’ as he was kicked in the gut, wrenching the staff away from Azzo’s hand as he whirled the dual wielded staffs around to hit Ganymede, Azzo, or both, depending on how sucky their reflexes were.
Next he would go after that sassy chick who thought it was fun to throw rocks, and maybe show her just how hard he could hit.
