It was dark. It was cramped. It was cold. The abandoned warehouse was slowly but surely being filled with the noise of footsteps and whispers as senshi shuffled in, their breath creating small clouds of fog in front of their faces. The cold inside seemed determined to persist even when it had become uncomfortably crowded with warm bodies, each individual with barely enough room to even stretch their arms out, it felt like. Someone had called a meeting. Upon asking around, it would prove impossible to find out exactly who that someone was -- but everyone had clearly gotten the message, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many of them in the same place at the same time. Whatever the case, this meant something of some kind of importance was going on... right? This is an ORP for senshi and other powered senshi allies.

There was a meeting.
At least, that was the word going around - there was a meeting, but no one he could ask really knew who had called it, or for what reason it had been called.
Sailor Themis arrived among the first, in that warehouse - though many would follow, proving that at least it hadn't been an elaborate prank targetting him.
Strange indeed, but with a group so big and so fragmented, could it be helped ?
Themis leaned against one of the back wall, dark coat doing some good at keeping him warm as he waited.

Nemesis would have been miserable if it wasn't cold - it would be a lie to say that she got along with other senshi pretty well. Really, there were few she could actually 'play nice' with. Her gaze was judgmental as it swept over the gathering senshi. That one had a lame a** fuku, that one looked like they had never seen a youma, let alone a Negaverser, before. With a roll of her eyes, she let out an irritated sigh. Why was she here? Something about a meeting, though the only meetings she cared about were the Dream Team and BMC meetings (even then Nemesis liked to pretend that she could give a rat's a** about arriving to a BMC meeting on time).
The Sailor Soldier of Decay moved towards the far wall of the abandoned warehouse, trying to make way for new senshi to shuffle in. So long as she wasn't pushed into the middle, she was sure that she could survive this with her sanity intact. It wasn't that she hated everyone, it was just that she didn't like them. She didn't know nearly all of them enough TO like them. Perhaps, for most of the senshi here, it was just better for Nemesis not to have an opinion of them instead.

Super Sailor Ares arrived silently, sticking near the heavy doors. She was a cautious individual, but as the head of her own faction now, she found it prudent to suss out the other players on the board. The whispers of this meeting had reached her ears, like the others.
And she was here.
Over her uniform, she wore a crimson cloak for no apparent reason. To those in the know, it would mark here as clearly as the crescent moon on her chest: Blood Moon senshi. Others from the faction were there, too, but Ares remained in place by the door, eyes flickering from face-to-face and then to the ceiling, the walls. She was looking for exits, she was looking for competition, she was looking for answers.

He'd stared at the warehouse for what seemed like a small eternity before he'd dared to venture inside. He hadn't really bothered to meet many of the other Senshi but if what he'd been told was true he'd meet a rather large group of them tonight.
He wasn't really sure on those details either. Or even, for that matter, who had told him to be here. He could envision both Corvus and Denebola telling him but he couldn't place which of the two it had been. One of them -had- to have told him though or he wouldn't know where to be.
He'd eventually made his way inside and found a pile of crates to lean against. If so many of them were gathering there had to be a good reason for it and he wasn't going to miss it. He'd finally started to see some purpose in their fighting. Even if he disliked being around this many people if it meant he could find out more about what was going on he'd sit through it.

This had to be the worst place for a meeting ever! It was never really all that difficult to sneak out at night. Two parents that worked full time (and then some) meant a lack of a curfew.
Sailor Iris was a bit curious as to what was going on in all honesty. Normally that tailless freak of a cat, *********, would have beat her to any of these sorts of meetings. Yet, she was nowhere to be seen. True, it was crowded enough that she might have missed her. Maybe the cat was just hanging out as just that, a cat.
The yellow-suited senshi rubbed her upper arms a bit to try and keep herself warm as she wedged herself in the middle of the group. If that cat decided to show up, she could be the one to find Iris.

This was aaaaaawkward. The last meeting, in Albali's opinion, had not gone as well as it could have. Everyone had a leader, every leader had an opinion, and it seemed like no one could really agree. Thankfully a good fraction of them tended to agree with the goals of the Blood Moon Court. But not all of them did which was the singular thing making the Senshi of Echoes feel so very strange. Or maybe it was that she was pressed up against a male senshi and wasn't enjoying it like she was supposed to.
That was also bothersome. But he wasn't exactly a sexy male senshi, now was he? No muscles. Not really. And that stubble. Eugh.
"This is ridiculous." She muttered it under her breath, trying to edge through the crowd towards perhaps some semblance of a familiar face. There should be at least one in this mess! Spotting Ares, the girl untensed and pushed through the crowd with little courtesy or care for rank. What were they going to do, blast her?
Doubtful.
"This is insanity. This place is too small for all of us, is this the best they can do?"

Where there was Themis, there was Bellatrix, about oh...7 times out of ten? And low and behold, the Super Senshi of Fortitude, Spear in hand despite this being simply a meeting. No one knew who called it. No one could be for certain this wasn't a trap. Be prepaaaaiiiired~! Right? A silent smile was cast to her companion as she watched all the others file in. Some faces she recognized from the ball, or the battle with Kaguya, or even meetings before this. There were just as many new faces, and just as many losses.
It was...sobering. And it wrought a shiver through the Amazon that had nothing to do with cold. She had seen what the Negaverse had done on that news station. She knew no Senshi could have ever done something like that. Could they? So it had to be the Negaverse.Maybe this is what the meeting was about? But why not hold the meeting sooner then? And why?
No, this had to be about something else.

Last time there'd been a meeting called, Gunn had walked out. She wasn't sure this would go any differently--after all, the same senshi who'd made the last meeting rather pointless would be here, too, and she hadn't yet spotted any of her comrades-in-arms though there were some senshi she recognized. The senshi of Noise was one of them. He had a useful power--if needed, he could use his attack and Wildfire Propagation would solve... well, plenty of things.
She found herself a box against the wall, tested its ability to bear her weight with one foot, and settled into place with her arms crossed over her chest for warmth. So far, no senshi had really proven a threat, but that could change.
----
Zodiac Captain Virgo had missed the last senshi meeting, and was eager to discover what she'd missed upon arrival. There was Sailor Themis--it looked like he'd found a member of his team, good for him!--but he didn't seem to know any more than she did the last time they spoke. Her attention drifted, narrowing her eyes at a senshi in a crimson cloak. Black Moon, she thought with a stab of pity; their Queen was dead. Her Princess was not, and never would be.
If only she'd been able to locate the Princess. Chronos hadn't been in her dorm room at Crystal, and Virgo had wished fervently for the return of Zue before leaving for the meeting...
Now she remained by the door, awaiting the presence of other Zodiacs.

Luckily for whoever it was who had started the meeting, Elegancia had nothing planned. No mud baths, no extravagant meals, no barking orders at the frumpy Alba or manly Gloria. For once, her life was not absolutely bursting with high-priority plans. So why would she not attend the senshi meeting? She wouldn't be questioned, either, since Alba had plans and Gloria was at wrestling practice (or something like that, she didn't listen often).
Rosalind, the Soldier of Wealth, strutted into the meeting with her typical imperiously-disgusting attitude. Her head was high, her auburn locks flowed down elegantly. The sound of gentle footsteps clicked and clacked in the air as she shoved her way through a crowd of lesser-than soldiers, wanting them to know that, duh, they needed to get out of her way.

Sinon had been part of the group of senshi that arrived early. It was nice to actually be prompt this time, Sinon thought as she recalled the string of events—battling aliens and Negaverse for crystals that she barely knew about. Almost every time she had been late to the fight which left the senshi of lies disappointed in her natural ability to be tardy. At first waiting around in the spacious warehouse was fine, although dull.
However, as more senshi came she quickly found herself squished from all sides. She frowned, feeling extremely claustrophobic and helpless. What the heck was Sinon going to do if some group of Negaverse decided to crash the place? Granted, that was highly unlikely, but ever since her encounter with the youma-armed Captain she had grown extremely paranoid about her surroundings.
“E-Excuse me,” she grumbled as she pushed through the crowd, searching for a wall to escape to.

Sailor Ares caught Gunn's eye and gave her a casual signal. Then her eyes fell back to Albali. "Albali," she said tensely. "have you learned any more on the person who called this meeting?" The Senshi of Smoke had heard it in rumors just like all others. No one in the BMC had been able to track down its source.
It was frustrating to say the least.

It had certainly been a while since she'd been to a meeting. Even seeing so many senshi again, all the silver mixed in with coper in her mind's eye, was disorientating as she first made her way into the crowd. Sailor Metis bit her lip, fists clenched faintly at her sides. She finally returned to the city, and now there was a meeting. Lovely. For a moment, she considered moving to one of the walls, stand aside and watch instead of moving deeper into the mass of bodies. It was a tempting idea, tempting enough to have her start shifting her weight on her feet to turn heel and do just that.
A figure caught her attention though as she moved, eyes and head snapping towards one of the taller senshi. Details might have been lost amongst the crowd and at a distance, but she felt the recognition pull her forward, slipping past unfamiliar bodies towards her target. At last, she drew close enough to the other girl to give a small smile. "Hello, Iris." She glanced around, scanning the auras for the yellow and silver glow. No, no *********... at least not that she could see. Still, she didn't ask. Surely the guardian would show up at some point... right?

Janus had been unsure about turning up. Nevertheless he'd powered up and made his way to the abandoned warehouse. He'd debated about whether or not he should go. After all, he hadn't been a senshi for very long, and he was still getting a grasp on everything. He'd reasoned that this meeting might provide him with the answers he desired.
When he entered he'd looked around, seeing the other Senshi that had already arrived. He kept to the back, red eyes looking around expectantly, but for what he wasn't sure.

Little white puffs of air pooled near the mouth of Sailor Alcyone, her breath a visible fog from the chill within the confinements of the familiar warehouse she'd grown so accustomed to seeing every few months. It was as frigid inside as it was out, though the accumulation of more senshi gathering about allowed the temperature to become more bearable as time passed, as did the heat radiating from her own teammates as she stood by them. They had all received the message and arrived in separate pairs before grouping in their usual spot, and as they waited for the meeting to start, she could already begin to feel that something was amiss; everyone could.
Glancing around, Alcyone recognized a few familiar faces milling about, though there were a few that she couldn't place -- namely, the ones belonging to the people or person who had requested their presence. They'd normally be standing at the front of the warehouse or some other prominent area for easy viewing, but as it were, nobody had yet gathered their attention to begin.
It was odd.
She took a small step closer to Atlas, shooting Merope and Orion a puzzled expression followed with a shrug. Hopefully they'll find out something soon enough.
