| - Recent IC Events:
Five months ago, a team of senshi were sent to a remote planet to answer a cry for help that had been addressed to the senshi of the Solar System. Once there, they found themselves trapped in a metallic maze, pitted against robotic creatures to save a young woman they were never completely sure was on their side. The trial left them drained and unsure, but they survived it nonetheless, with one of their captors dead - killed by the mastermind of the trap - and the other left supposedly stranded on the planet. The girl they went to save planted herself with them, and gave them information about the man in charge. She described him as devilishly handsome, and incredibly intelligent.
As they escaped that cursed planet, Sailor Achelois felt a disturbance within her heart - someone, or something, was attacking her homeworld. She left immediately to face the threat, and the rest of the team split - roughly half following her to help if they could, while the other half headed back for the Solar System. On planet Achelois, Sailor Achelois was able to find and defeat the threat with relative ease based on her role as the planet's goddess and the immense wealth of power she had while connected to her star; the culprit had been a seed. This seed had sprouted its roots in her planet, blackening anything it came in contact with. While Achelois was able to reverse the process, she was startled with how quickly it had grown.
The teams met up again just outside the Solar System, which was now encased in a shell of garnet-colored energy - a force-field had been erected to keep everyone out of the Solar System. Finding entrance on the dwarf-planet Pluto, the team met Guardian Pluto, and from her learned that all of the Solar Systems defenses had been enacted - protections from Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus were in place to guard against any and all outsiders. No one was allowed to enter the Solar System. Through communications between the Pluto Castle and Earth, they were able to connect with Sailor Jupiter whom, along with King Endymion and Neo Queen Serenity, were alone with the people of Earth, the other senshi being out in the galaxy to fight against the rise in Chaos. From Jupiter they learned they had been presumed dead, for what was only days to them had been five months in real time. During those five months, Chaos had risen, his agents attacking planets all throughout the galaxy. Their leader had yet to emerge, but they alone were enough trouble. Senshi had gathered to fight off this threat, and as soon as one case was quelled, several more popped up in their stead. They were overextended. They needed help. Many of the team were going to volunteer to help where they could, when all of the sudden two of their own announced that their planets were under attack, chaos spreading in the same way it had on Achelois. Ribbon, the girl they saved from the planet, revealed that their planets could be attacked out of revenge for foiling her ex-master's plot - the maze planet they had been stuck in had been meant for the Solar System Senshi, and had those senshi appeared this galaxy-wide takeover would have happened quickly and quietly. He saw it as their fault his plans did not go so smoothly.
Suddenly, both Sailor Leviathan and Sailor Andromeda felt Chaos's presence on their planets, and announced it to the rest of the group. As they discussed what course of action they would take - which planet to clear first before heading to the other, Leviathan, unable to wait, took off for her planet and her people; Shadow followed after. The rest of them decided to clear Andromeda first, and then take the battle to planet Leviathan. As they prepared to leave for Andromeda, Sailor Enyalius, too, felt the disturbance, but did not mention it.
Upon arriving on Andomeda, the group came to the scene of an angry mob attacking the Royal Palace; shortly thereafter they reunited with Sailor Andromeda, who had been trying to calm the people and protect her family, and then time stopped. The group was met by an old woman who appeared from nowhere and gave them gifts, though treated the exchange as a delivery of paid-for goods. She was criptic and judgemental in the way that crotchety tired old ladies could be, and with a warning and some hints about the true nature of the situation, she left.
The team made for a newly formed structure in the middle of a hurricane that was engulfing the small planet Andromeda; once there, they worked together (mostly?) to combat the threat within and, with Andromeda's power magnified by her planet, were able to destroy the chaos seed that was taking hold within the Andromeda Spire.
Their task complete, they turn to Leviathan. Sailor Leviathan and Shadow are already on planet Leviathan When her new friends left to help their worlds, Ribbon's guilt would not let her rest. Having found a potential friend in Leviathan, whose stalwart support helped Ribbon a lot in the final confrontation, Ribbon hailed a ship from her homeworld and piloted it to planet Leviathan; she will arrive as the senshi team does. Sailors Andromeda, Makemake, Varuna and Panacea stayed behind on Andromeda, attempting to put the pieces back together or rest before heading back to attempt to help win this new Sailor War. Other senshi from the Andromeda group continued on to planet Leviathan, and were met on the way by Sailor Nix, who had been assigned by Jupiter to assist them in facing the threat on planet Leviathan. Sailor Jupiter would alert any other Sailor Senshi who had finished dispelling Chaos on another planet to their need, and send any willing senshi to rendezvous with them just outside of Planet Leviathan. This team of Senshi travel from Planet Andromeda to planet Leviathan to aide their friend, Sailor Leviathan, in clearing her planet of the chaotic seed planted there. Will you join them? - Rules, Background, and Dungeon Crawler Game Notes and Information:
This event is a Hardcore Event. Rules:
- Up to twelve (12) Specific Otaku Senshi will be allowed to join this event. Neo Queen Serenity's court are otherwise engaged, helping planets clear themselves of chaotic influences. Senshi listed above as being elsewhere (Andromeda Group) cannot be in two places at once, and so cannot join. Sailors Aktypris and Zorya may change their minds, as their players did not take part in the final live-chat and so could not control their volunteering or not. Other accepted otaku will be allowed to join to make the final number of participants a max 12. *Accepted Otaku Senshi are senshi who have had their profiles approved by a Roleplay Administrator in the Otaku-Crossover Characters board; for help on accomplishing this task, see this thread for the application and contact any of our Roleplay Moderators (or me!). The profile could be advanced or relaxed for this event. Need ideas for a senshi? Why not visit Character Adoption?
- This event is considered both Relaxed and Advanced. You need not follow the 100-word post count requirements of an Advanced board (though attempting proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation are necessary), but your character profile needs to be approved as Advanced for this event. When tallying posts during this event, your post will be counted as either relaxed or advanced based on word count, rather than on profile category. As profiles are required, posts are tallied in the full fashion, rather than the usual 1/2 count for non-profile-required events.
- This Event is Roleplay Section Multifaceted: There will be elements from all sections of our roleplay boards within it; it will last for exactly one month (Event), requires a profile approval (Profiles), posts can be counted towards the month's challenge or contest (Challege), and will involve Dungeon Crawler Elements (Games) as well as live-events over Skype (Live-Chat RPs). More on the Game elements later. Being such, participating actively in this event can really pull in the RP points ^^
- An Activity Rule is in effect. By signing up below, you agree to follow all GC and RP Rules alongside the following activity rule: At least one post is required every 48 hours. Failure to post at least once within those 48 hours will result in your character disappearing mysteriously, to be recovered by the remaining heroes at the end of the roleplay. (They won't die, but I won't let their unresponsiveness slow down the game). If you have an unexpected (but announced) LOA during this event that lasts less than 3 days, your character will be carried with the team. If the LOA lasts more than 3 days, the normal disappearance protocol will go into effect. Additional Note: characters have up to 48 hours to reply to a post directed to them; if a player is taking a while to respond, their character is not to be negatively affected - no powerplaying will be allowed, and this includes having a character remark or notice that the other has not responded, as that manipulates a character's personality traits (refusing to recognize someone is a negative quality and only that character's player may determine how long they took to respond to a question).
- Skype use is highly recommended. For the game elements in this roleplay, a quick question/answer method is best and Skype is the preferred chat system. Skype is free and doesn't require personal information to use. Once the event gets underway I create a Skype group to be used as the OOC thread for the event; add me to your contacts with your GC name and I'll add you to the group. There will be a forum-based OOC board for this event (once sign-ups are closed, this board becomes the OOC), so while it is highly recommended, if you are uncomfortable with using skype information will still be handed out through this board if necessary. My skype username is Kyralih
Background This event takes place in the Galaxy Cauldron Crystal Tokyo "Canon", which means it can be added to Otaku Character Profiles as an official part of their history. That being said,
- The setting is several hundred years after Crystal Tokyo was formed. Chibi Usa is now known as "Lady Serenity" (or Young Lady) and has taken on the mantle of Sailor Moon, and the Quartet have awakened as her guardian Senshi. Earth is open to visiting senshi from other systems; once they arrive they go through a little ceremony that walks them through the do's and don't's of staying on Earth and such. If your Otaku Senshi lives on Earth (or another planet) during another time period, you need to include a reason for them being this far in the future somewhere in your profile in order to ease this story into theirs.
- No "parallel" or A.U. Characters will be allowed in this roleplay. Examples of such characters would be a character from an alternate timeline where the Silver Millennium thrived and did not expire, or the love-child of one of the canon senshi that has taken over her place as Sailor Chibi ______, etc., as that would alter the "canon" Crystal Tokyo that we have been working off of.
- Known By Your Character wrote:
- In this Canon, the following events have transpired. Click on the links to learn more (if you want), but as players you do not need to be 100% familiar with these past events, but your character should have heard of these events if they have been on Earth for any period of time:
- The Collector - Nearly a year ago (in universe and in board), during a welcoming ceremony the Crystal Tokyo Court were taken from before an audience, spirited away by a strong, neutral-evil character called The Collector. A rag-tag team of extra-solar senshi followed after the trail of dust that followed in the Court's wake, and found themselves in an ancient Globular Cluster on the outskirts of the Milky Way Galaxy, wherein they fought ancient foes from a creepy living-dead museum and eventually faced off against The Collector himself, armed with weapons gifted to them by senshi who had long since died. In his defeat, the Crystal Tokyo Court was saved, and the group was given the Silver Crescent Award for their bravery.
- Decay - Months after that, a tiny visitor came to Crystal Tokyo pleading for help for her planet: her Queen had been kidnapped, and a great evil was spreading throughout their home. Neo Queen Serenity requested volunteers to go to the planet Zenar and help the fairies find their lost Queen, and while there make sure the planet, which had no senshi of its own, was not being secretly taken by Chaos to be used as a base. Upon landing on the planet, the team was given a guide, Mossen, to help them through the dense, maze-like forest in an attempt to get to the castle in time. Ultimately they failed, as by the time they reached the castle, the Fairy Queen was corrupted, and the world began to decay around them. They managed to save much of the fairy populace and relocate them to another planet for the time, but that still meant that Zenar was corrupted by chaos, and would need to be cured...
- Return to Zenar- After the failure of the first attempt at clearing Zenar of evil, another team of volunteers were prepared to face the task, studying all they could about what they would soon face. They learned more of the Queen, and her daughter who had been corrupted before her. They learned of the past of the planet, how it had once been home to humans who had all perished in a nuclear war, leaving angry spirits to populate the planet, giving Chaos a cozy place to settle. Once on the planet they flew directly into the castle, and fought many enemies to finally make it to their goals. They defeated the Chaotic Agent that was running the place, and saved the Fairy Princess, but the Queen died in the process. The Princess awakened as Sailor Zenar, and when all was said and done, she led her people back to the planet and fights diligently to reclaim and purify their home.
- Remnants- No one outside the group of senshi who were involved should know anything about the events that transpired during this adventure.
MEANWHILE: The Milky Way is in chaos, and all senshi are aware of the peril and what is at stake. We are in the midst of another Sailor War, though no senshi have been converted to Chaos's side at this point. Worlds are under attack as minor Chaos Agents, all at once, started their invasions of occupied planets across the galaxy. Senshi have risen up to combat these threats, on their own world and elsewhere. Crystal Tokyo has taken it upon itself as a powerful governing faction to organize efforts; the powerful Solar System Senshi have been dispatched to lead groups of senshi to clear planets who are in danger, and then move on to the next. Think of the Chaos Agents in charge of these planets to be on the level of Chaos generals - the Kaolinites, Shitennou, Amazon Trio, etc., rather than manifestations of Chaos itself (Metalia, Death Phantom, etc.). While difficult to destroy all of the monsters these chaos agents summon, the agents themselves are not impossible to defeat. It's time consuming and stressful more than anything else; butif a planet falls to them it is difficult to rescue it.
- Andromeda Spire - No one outside the group of senshi who were involved should know anything about the events that transpired during this adventure.
No one other than those involved in Remnants or Andromeda Spire know about the Chaos Seeds or the male leader Ribbon described.
Dungeon Crawler Game Notes
- The dungeon crawler aspects of the game are all over the place! That means we'll be using maps, as well as HP and MP counters, as well as Strength, Dexterity, Mind, and Perception skill points! See this for an Example (don't worry, lol, everything on page two and three of that document was all at the end of the game
- Characters who have already made and used their profiles in past events may make small edits in their point distribution (remember to add the events you played in to your character profile to unlock more character building points!) and any changes to magic skill costs as necessary; skype me to make changes!
- New players (ilu come play!) will need to build their character from scratch; we'll start the process together when you sign up with your approved profile! Skype me!
- Big Game Rule: You will be held to your accepted profile. If you use any item during the game that was not listed in your profile, I'm throwing a red flag and having you rework that post. Do not "find" anything I have not told you (over skype or PM) that you have found. Stuff's important in here, and I'm keeping a tight reign on it XD. Battle wounds and such will be decided by roll via me, so no fake wounds or overdramatizing attacks and whatnot. Attacks will follow the same rule - I roll for everything. Everything. Using random rolls makes Godmodding and Powerplaying nearly impossible, so that's why I do it the way I do ^^
- Rules for items purchased at The Fate Exchange will follow the rules outlined in that OSA-P Store.
Remember
- Pay attention to the story - read every post so you don't miss anything. Major Plot Points will be delivered through me - I will announce, for example, when we find objects/people, and what things look like. I will arrange for the baddies to be fought, and I'll handle the combat system (everyone chooses their own attacks and everything, I just roll to see if those attacks hit, and see how effective those attacks are against the bad guys, and rolling a die to see how much damage they do (if any XD the 0 is allowed and causes the attack to miss its target)). Needless to say: If your don't pay attention to the story, your character's reactions / ideas / etc. may be out of place, and will be treated as such by other characters. Read Carefully.
- Post at least once every 48 hours - Failure to post at least once within those 48 hours will result in your character disappearing mysteriously, to be recovered by the remaining heroes at the end of the roleplay. (They won't die, but I won't let their unresponsiveness slow down the game). If you have an unexpected (but announced) LOA during this event that lasts less than 3 days, your character will be carried with the team. If the LOA lasts more than 3 days, the normal disappearance protocol will go into effect.
And, finally, while bringing in side-storylines is okay, this roleplay will end around January 31st, win, lose, or draw. I suggest keeping noses to the grindstone and keep moving forward to make it to the ending battle before it's too late!
The Event Begins January 1st! If you have any questions about this event (any part, anything) ask it here or in our Skype OOC Chat (or skype me directly if you're afraid it will be lost in the mess!) and I'll respond as quickly as possible.
The game begins on Friday, January 1st, and will end on Sunday, January 31st.
List of Characters: Twelve Spots Total Available; first priority to the senshi who left Castle Charon for Leviathan and senshi who left Andromeda to travel to Leviathan and those they met along the way in Between the Stars. (their names appear on this list automatically, but are not officially part of the RP until they sign up on this thread). Bolded and linked names have been officially accepted. "Reserved" spots will be reserved for a few days; if their place in the RP has not been solidified (they don't sign up) before Thursday morning, the spot will be open for an additional otaku to claim (and their senshi will have decided not to enter the Leviathan atmosphere).
Update: Sign-Ups for this event will continue until the senshi decide to leave to starting city; there will be no intentional delay, but the remaining spots will be open until locked when the setting changes.

| The planet Leviathan was a behemoth of a gas giant comprised of hydrogen, methane, and water ices; from their vantage point it was uncertain as to where they were going - Gas Giants were, as the name suggests, made of gas, and thus had no surface to really speak of, and yet Sailor Leviathan made no mention about her home being on one of the moons of this enormous blue world, but spoke as though the planet itself were her dwelling place. Joined by one more companion, after a quick set of introductions, the senshi circled, hoping, perhaps, to find a castle similar to those found orbiting the Solar System bodies beyond the Earth and Moon - a stand alone structure surrounded by a bubble of atmosphere, yet no such castle was found. There were no indications that life was anywhere on this planet; just bands of gas pushed by high velocity winds and a perpetual storm.
Time was slipping out between their fingers; how many hours had it taken to fly from Andromeda to Leviathan? How much time did they have to ensure the people of Leviathan’s safety? 12 hours? 10? It seemed as though they faced a dead end. With Nocturnus’s starlight map pointing directly into the gas giant and not beyond, they had little doubt as to being at the right spot, but something in the storm prohibited their feeling out Leviathan’s Sailor Crystal, and with the intense pressure brought about by the very nature of gas giants, no one was too keen on just diving in.
It was shortly after discussion started about what they should do when Amatheia noticed the faint reflection of starlight off of glass closing the distance to Leviathan. Achelois noticed Amatheia’s attention had been drawn elsewhere, and before long they all had spotted the object and were quickly going to meet it.
The object was a starship, its trajectory taking it directly towards the planet Leviathan, aiming for the storm that cut deep into the atmospheric layers of the planet. As they approached it, the ship slowed to a stop, orbiting the planet synchronously with the eye of the storm, and movement within the cockpit soon ended with a piece of white paper thrust up against the glass, splayed with unusual writing, and, beside it, looking excited, was Ribbon.
The pink haired young woman waved and pointed to her message which, of course, was written in her native language, which none of them knew how to decipher. Her brows furrowing, Ribbon pointed again, slower, as if that might help, and then stared at them in confusion before taking the paper off the glass and writing something else before plastering it back for them to see. With various expressions of being unable to understand her - slight shrugging of shoulders, mouthing “Huh?” etc. - Ribbon rolled her eyes and sat back in the captain’s chair to think for a moment, and finally drew a crude sketch of her ship (with a cute little pilot with adorable stick-figure hair in the front seat) with stick-figures-with-wings beside it flying into a cone-like Leviathan’s storm, a giant arrow ushering them forward. She stuck this on the glass proudly, then paused, peeled it off to look at it again, blushed, and crumpled it up and settled for pointing at the storm again with embarrassment. As she strapped herself back to her seat, she caught sight of Nocturnus and offered the girl a little wave before she jammed the controls forward and rocketed towards the storm.
With the civilian blazing in first, the senshi, who had no way to communicate to the encapsulated girl how dangerous it was to fly head first into a gas giant, had little choice but to follow, either to get her back or test her crazy theory. As they approached, however, the gravitational pull became stronger, less easily able to ignore, and soon they were pulled down into the gas giant with ever increasing speeds. As they passed below the atmospheric surface and into the conal storm, it felt very much like being swallowed. Their ears popped with the abrupt change in pressure, and as the swirling winds below them funneled down to a single point hundreds of miles below, their speed increasing, the world around them seeming to press in all around them, someone screamed. As the uncomfortable sensation only doubled, then tripled, their speed increasing all the while, it seemed as though they might smash into the cloud banks and hit the liquid metallic surface below. As the more experienced among them braced for impact, the more hopeful put energy into believing in Ribbon’s plan, and the frightened ones held their breaths, they watched as the starship seemed to pass right through the bottom of the storm and disappear.
As they hit the surface they, too, seemed to pass through, the event no more harmful than slipping slowly into a bath, for on the other side they were surrounded by water. Forward momentum kept them going, and soon they were swimming, for before them, a good way soff, was an odd, if welcoming, sight: a city, hovering in empty space, surrounded by glowing balloons of light. As they got closer the city grew before them, its setting most peculiar:
Suspended in the exact center of the sphere of water around them, it was the only piece of solid rock, and it was flat like a coin. On one side was a beautiful city, crawling upwards with planned symmetry, seemingly ancient and graceful; on the other side sat a mass of black mountains, illuminated only by the light leaking out from the city above it.
They headed for the city, Ribbon’s ship trailing them now as the pink-haired girl took second stage.
---- They landed and were greeted by natives of the city; with their innate senshi powers of communication they were able to speak and understand the language upon hearing it, but while the ability made speaking easy, it did nothing to prepare them for various cultures or appearances. The citizens of the planet had seaweed-like hair in green, red and purple hues; they regarded them cautiously with their glowing yellow eyes, spoke carefully, their pointed shark-like teeth showing through their lips on occasion, and swam quickly, the long fins on the back of their arms and webbed appendages making all but Amatheia and Sedna look ungainly in the water as they followed them to the castle at the top of their city.
As the castle doors opened for them a terrible earthquake overcame the city, shaking the buildings down to their foundations, knocking objects off of shelves. Towers threatened to collapse. Screaming in alarm, the fish people shot out into open water, looking down fretfully for family members who could be buried in the wreckage if any buildings should fall -- Alarmed, the group prepared to follow suit, though some among them looked more to be preparing to go in after anyone trapped inside - when the shaking suddenly stopped, and everything was totally quiet. As the fish people floated back down to their city and Ribbon stood back up from her crouch, taking her suited hands from covering her helmet and looking around in relief, they heard footsteps on the tiled flooring and turned their heads to look into the palace, where they saw none other than Shadow striding out from a connecting room.
“They’re definitely getting stronger; it’s only a matter of time until --” he had turned and caught sight of them, “It seems the cavalry has arrived, and just in time, too.” |

| It was absolutely fascinating to her that there was another place where the ruling Castle was under water like this. Eshana's mother had a castle at the bottom of the Ocean like this. A sudden wave of nostalgia and longing hit her. She missed her home and right now, desperately wanted to return to it. I'm needed here though, these people need to be protected and Chaos needs to be destroyed. Perhaps when it was all over, she'd be able to go home once more and visit her childhood home. She did find it peculiar though that on their decent, they hadn't come across any wild Marine life. |

| Amatheia had been as baffled as the others once they had reached Leviathan, yet had no idea where to go until a somewhat odd looking woman appeared in a large metal ship she seemed able to pilot. It had taken some time to understand what she wanted to do, involving some rather odd pantomiming and crude drawings, before they were all on their way. Whether this was actually a good idea or not could be up for debate, but perhaps that would come later. Flying into a storm once again, she wondered if it would be like Andromeda. The memory felt very strong in that moment.
Then suddenly it seemed they were through the storm, and in...water! Ocean water, judging by the taste and feel. Amatheia let out a shrill single sung note of joy at the familiarity and her legs shifted to her tail, covered in icy blue hued scales that glinted and shone like individual shards of ice. Easy almost casual flicks of her tail and it seemed now she was lazily keeping up with the others, her eyes much more shiny now. If anyone were close enough and cared to observe, they could note a second clear eyelid had slid over her eyes.
Almost as if by instinct, Amatheia began her humming again as she swam, looking around the water. It was a pleasure, even if the temperature was a bit warm. Then she was aware of a great city appearing in the distance, surely their destination. She swam with the others onto it, humming more happily now.
Then they were being greeted by rather intimidating ocean creatures. She looked at them intrigued, taking in the details and mentally comparing them to her own home world, the similarities and differences. She found herself wondering if these were siren like creatures. Why had she never considered the possibility of other sirens existing outside her world? She felt a sudden hunger blooming, to know about all the other sirens she could possibly find. She decided it would be her new mission once Chaos had been handled.
She swam with the other senshi and the natives to the castle then tensed subtly as the quake began. She looked around worried, the fluke of her tail swaying in anticipation if action were needed. But it subsided, and then were was a man who took notice of them.
Amatheia blinked slowly and tilted her head ever so slightly. She didn't know who this was, but he seemed to know of them. But he seemed fully humanoid and her brows crinkled slightly as she realized this. She had found humans fairly inefficient in the water, they were often too buoyant to stand like that, and they could not manage speech in the water without technology and helmets.
She hummed a moment as she mused this over, then brushed some of her hair out of the way as it floated in front of her face. “And you are, sir?” She asked calmly. |

| Sailor NocturnusSailor Nocturnus was delighted to see Shadow, if only because it confirmed that at least one of the pair who had ventured to Leviathan first was still alive and visibly well. Based on his comment, the two had been quite busy with this Chaos seed. Nocturnus felt happy to know that the group of travelers had arrived in time to lend their help to Shadow and Sailor Leviathan. At least... she hoped that Sailor Leviathan was nearby and okay. She felt a twinge of concern to not have been greeted by the sailor soldier of this watery planet. And Ribbon was here, too! Nocturnus smiled over at the pink-haired young woman, glad to see her here again. Ribbon was going to help them! What a change after all that had happened in the terrible maze where they first met her. The small sailor soldier-in-training waited patiently, trying to stay alert to what was around her as the quakes shook the area they landed in. She wanted to be ready for whatever would happen next. |

| A set of glowing yellow eyes emerged from the dark of a doorway to another room. It was hard to see from this angle but this person appeared to be another fish person, just like those they had seen outside. Her thick, seaweed-like hair flowed this way and that as she also walked toward them.
"Shadow, did you feel that? It's happening again! Who are you talking... to..."
As soon as she stepped into the light, the fish person was replaced by Sailor Leviathan, looking as human as some in the group had usually known her. At first, a look of shock and almost relief came over her, but it quickly turned to disgust. She clenched her hands and stomped toward the group. There was an intense fierceness in her yellow eyes.
"I knew you would come eventually," she snarled. "Well you're out of luck. I'm not looking for help from New Queen Selena's brownie point collectors. Shadow, Enoch, Guardian Leviathan and I have got this."
Leviathan was clearly lying. She trembled terribly and bit her lip. She looked away and then looked again the group and now only noticed Ribbon in her suit.
"Ribbon," she muttered in astonishment. |

| Enyalius tensed as the world began to shake around them, the pressure caused by the vibrations from the walls pressing in around her uncomfortably. She looked up, but rather than searching for a way out, she was looking instead at the glowing eyes of the citizens of Leviathan, noting their distress and trying to follow their gaze to where she could be needed, but as suddenly as it started, the massive shaking stopped. Enyalius turned, looking at the group, and noted that those she felt she needed to look after were safe. As footsteps rang she shot her head around, her hair wafting in front of her annoyingly, and saw Shadow walking out from another room. How in the world had he managed that? The rest of them were floating, having to swim to get around - well, all but Ribbon, who had that ridiculous heavy suit on. Walking on the ground would have been awkward, and yet there he was. He didn't seem to be holding his breath, or "Space Breathing," as Enya and Achelois had taken to calling it; his chest moved in and out normally. Something strange was going on, and as though on cue to explain, bright yellow eyes appeared through the darkened opening of another room. Another fish person, Enya perceived, and hoped that their presence in the castle meant they had answers -- but that voice was too familiar to be a stranger. Sailor Leviathan stepped into the light, and Enyalius caught the quick change in her expression. Leviathan was glad to see them, though her complicated feelings towards the Solar System might have made her feel defensive, or something along the line. When Leviathan had evidently found Ribbon, Enyalius crossed her arms and quirked a brow, " I didn't come for Neo Queen Selena or her "brownie points"," she replied, using Leviathan's words, " I came to destroy Chaos and help you save your planet, as they did," she nodded her head backwards to include the rest of the group. " Only three of them are even from the Solar System. So, what do you need?" |

| Shadow didn't answer Leviathan's immediate question, his attentions directed to the arriving Senshi and the extraterrestrial visitor within their company. Though his short brown hair was adrift in the water currents, the man otherwise appeared to be comfortable with his surroundings
Some of the visiting senshi were familiar, like Nocturnus and Achelois, but the rest of them did not register in his memories. Two of the unknown soldiers seemed far more at home in the water than their company, with one of them even resembling a mermaid! When Amatheia took interest in his identity, Shadow replied in a calm and masculine voice that appeared to anticipate her question.
"My name is Shadow; Leviathan and I were preparing to embark on an investigation when that tremor started. As much as I like introductions, we should handle them while we're on our way.."
The dark-clothed soldier raised a hand to scratch his head, gazing in Ribbon's direction as his words trailed off. With his previous train of thought at rest, Shadow took a step forward and gestured with one hand to the helmet-bearing young lady with the pink hair.
"Ribbon, are you here to help us? I can't guarantee your safety while the planet is endangered." |

| Ever since they hit the clouds and went from space to underwater she felt like she was way behind and completely outclassed, but she wouldn't let that get to her. These senshi could fly in outer space, without regard to, oh, say, air or temperature or zero pressure, and this completely underwater world seemed not to have bothered them at all, either, beyond shedding their wings and swimming normally. Or abnormally, as the weird fish-lady's transformation was concerned. But still, she had been the one to figure out how to get in, and that was worth something. She was just glad her ship could go from zero pressure to water pressure without imploding and that it was outfitted with not only a space suit, but a pressure suit meant for diving. She didn't much like that it wasn't pink, but this wasn't technically her ship so what were you going to do? She was lucky to have found crayons to occupy her time throughout that boring 30 hour ride, let alone the diving gear. As the senshi started talking - she could only assume they were talking because of the garbling sounds vibrating through the thick glass surrounding her - she got up and started fitting herself into the bulky suit, wishing she had something to tie her hair back with and that she had a slim-fit flight suit to change into, but she had neither, so she fought throughout the endeavor to get her boots and dress and coat and hair all arranged within the - eww - slightly smelly over suit. In the end she had to leave her jacket and boots behind. The senshi were just swimming off after the sharky-seaweed people when she managed to lock the helmet into place and step into the airlock. Once re-pressurized, she jumped out after them, and clumsily marched her way up the street, paying special attention not to get her air hose caught on anything jutting out around her. She couldn't make out anything that anyone was saying, but she caught up just as they reached a pair of huge palace gates... and the world ended. Everything was shaking and rumbling and the shark-people were swimming away and SHE COULDN'T SWIM IN THIS TIN CAN WHAT WAS SHE SUPPOSED TO DO?! So she did the only thing left available to her - she ducked and covered. She ducked and covered like a champ. And when the shaking was over and she was still alive, she unfolded herself gracefully, and went back to being completely unable to interpret what anyone was saying about anything. ... but she did catch and return Nocturnus's smile. She was glad Nocturnus was here. Shadow showed up, and then Leviathan. She smiled warmly at the second, and when Leviathan did a double-take and looked right at her, Ribbon raised a hand in a quick, small wave, before pretending once again she could understand what was going on.

| When the senshi finally reached their destination planet, Callisto was both amazed and wary of the massive gas giant that was Leviathan. This was where Chaos was? But...there was no solid rock in sight. But before they could lose too much time searching for a place to land, or any sign of life, a space craft came into view. And judging by other members of their group's reactions, the pilot was a friend. Callisto's eyes went wide when she saw the new plan. That pilot wanted to do what? Being stationed near Jupiter gave her a healthy respect for gravitational forces, and Leviathan looked bigger than her original home. Going headfirst into it wasn't a very good idea in her head. If there wasn't some kind of magic at work underneath the raging storms, the gas giant would slowly drag them through layers of denser and denser gas until they were crushed into specks and hit the pressurized core. And it'd take a long time to get there too, like being drowned in gelatin. As the ship moved to dive into the storm, Callisto gulped. They weren't going to follow, right? Of course they were... After steeling herself for possibly not surviving the event, Callisto followed the other senshi in their dive. The free fall into Leviathan was nerve destroying as gravity puled her faster, and she grit her teeth and struggled to get her arms in front of her before they slipped into...water? Surprised, she opened her eyes to see an ocean surrounding them, and beyond that, a city. Deciding to marvel at being in still alive later, she started swimming. The people of Leviathan were timid as the senshi arrived, even if they looked far more alien than Callisto was used to. They were like sharks and humans combined, with seaweed hair and sharpened teeth. The castle was up ahead, and upon arriving, a quake shook the city. An earthquake on a gas giant? This must have been caused by Chaos.... And then a man that looked like someone from Earth emerged from the castle, walking normally as if he weren't be subjected to thousands of pounds of pressure. He introduced himself as Shadow, and since others recognized him, he must have worked with Neo-Queen Serenity before. The second person to arrive was another native, though this was Sailor Leviathan. Callisto frowned slightly as her dismissive tone, but didn't confront her. Why didn't she want extra help? Was she that confident in her present capabilities? Surely there was something they needed assistance for. |

| In her many centuries of being a senshi, Nix had seen quite a few worlds, but this one was definitely new. She wasn’t uncomfortable in water, exactly, with the element being the base of her actual one, but she also couldn’t say she swam a lot, being from a wintery planet and all. It felt strange knowing that she was underwater but apparently breathing somehow. How did that work? They seemed to be able to hear each other perfectly, too, and about the only reminder that they were in water was the fact they had to swim. The earthquake was certainly alarming, though it subsided quickly without anyone getting injured. Nix remained somewhat behind the group as they seemed to know each other—and some of the group members knew the people they were trying to help. She chose to observe and listen to the conversation to learn the information she needed for now. The woman who had spoken to them spoke in an unusual way, and Nix tilted her head quizzically. Did she mean Neo Queen Serenity, per chance? Sailor Enyalius—the unofficial leader, she remembered—addressed her and said ‘your planet’, which meant… this was the senshi of this planet? She remained quiet, continuing to observe and conclude new things from the dialogue of those around her. Their sense of familiarity with each other made her feel a hint of longing, but she pushed it aside. |

| Sailor Leviathan's face flushed red with anger at Sailor Enyalius's comment.
"Don't lie. All of you work for Crystal Tokyo in the end, the ones who attracted the Chaos here in the first place. At least Shadow's honest about it. I need you all to leave. Besides, there's no way you can fight as you are down here. I have no idea how you got past the storm without my blessing but I'm not extending it here either. Try swimming after whatever's causing this mess. Your attacks are nothing under water... except... you guys have a mermaid? What the hell? You have no legs. Do you know that?"
She was scared, obviously over losing her planet, but also for keeping the others there. But why? What was there to lose by getting more help? She looked up at a mural, depicting what appeared to be a proud and strong Sailor Leviathan (as a fish person), praised by her people.
This wasn't the Leviathan they knew.
"Ribbon, you should probably go. If this goes to hell, I'm going to lose the one of only people I know worth caring about. You shouldn't die for nothing too."
Leviathan sighed and tightened her gloves. She was bad at hiding her hopelessness. |

| The pain in Enyalius's chest flared dangerously. It would be so easy to turn back -- but she wasn't going to. She uncrossed her arms so she could make a fist, digging in her fingernails as though fighting back against the sailor crystal's pull, and put her other hand on her hip as she followed Leviathan's gaze to a mural nearby. Depicted in multicolored stones was a Senshi in Leviathan's uniform, but looking more like the fish people that were shown to be adoring her, looking up to her in awe. The Senshi had red seaweed-like hair, pointed teeth, and finned arms and wore an expression of calm purpose, and the way Leviathan glanced at her was all to familiar. That must have been the previous senshi of this planet, like Kenna had been on Enyalius. She kept her mouth shut, watching as Leviathan dismissed Ribbon - probably a smart move, but that wasn't the point. As the senshi tightned her gloves, Enyalius spoke. " I won't let it go to hell," she stated boldly, " And neither would she." Enyalius swam over to float beside the mural, her copper eyes solely on Leviathan. She knew nothing about this Sailor Leviathan, nothing except this incarnation might look up to her in some way. " I don't think she'd turn down help when she needed it, either, no matter where it came from. I'll say it again, though I don't know why it would need repeating: I'm not with Crystal Tokyo. Planet Enyalius isn't even in that sector, let alone system. Achelois and I just chose to hang out there for a while and helped the Queen with her issues because it's what we are born to do: to defeat chaos. Whatever ill favor you hold for Crystal Tokyo should not be transferred to us." She took a breath an softened her gaze a bit. " Now what investigation was he talking about?" she asked, nodding her head towards Shadow as she continued to address Leviathan. |

| Sailor NocturnusSailor Nocturnus felt immense sympathy for Sailor Leviathan. The older girl, in this new guise and then in the form Nocturnus recognized from their previous mission in the maze, looked like she had been fighting very hard for a long time. Probably as long as it had taken them on Andromeda and then to travel here. Nocturnus wished she could have helped both locations at once. As usual, the younger girl wasn't entirely sure what to make of Leviathan's bravado and commentary. Like Enyalius, she came from a place far from Crystal Tokyo. She had no alignment with the Solar System, only a desire to help others and learn to hone her own powers. " Please, let us help," she added softly, hoping that Sailor Leviathen wouldn't actually turn them all away. |

| Amatheia tilted her head a bit as she was answered and smiled lightly, giving a light bow of the head. She opened her mouth to respond until someone else appeared and he became distracted with the girl who had been piloting the ship, though apparently her name was Ribbon, something which sent a brief thrill through her. She so dearly loved ribbons, of all colors and types!
But this wasn't a ribbon she could collect, she realized almost sadly. For a moment she even felt a little envy the girl had that for a name before it faded away and she calmed down again. She was far more intrigued with the senshi who had appeared, and seemed quite against help.
She listened to the girl claiming they all “worked” for Crystal Tokyo, then she was aware of Amatheia. She gave a soft smile to the girls blunt statements. “Actually I am more a breed of siren. And yes, I quite prefer my tail in a water environment. It feels strange to have my legs otherwise.” As demonstrated, her tail split into her legs for a few brief moments before her tail returned. It was now apparently that her transparent shoes were actually the scales from her tail, shaped into a protective sort of form of covering for her feet. “But I am also not from or of Crystal Tokyo. I have visited it only briefly. I come from another system.”
Then she listened as she seemed to be trying to deter the Ribbon girl for her protection. And her eyes did not miss the body language. Amatheia hummed softly as she swam to Leviathan, coming to stop in front of her. She looked steadily at the other senshi, a calm expression that held no possibility for judgment. She half sang, half spoke softly, her tone comforting and soothing. “I have seen Chaos' touch and what it does to worlds. I would not want to see any such fate come to yours. We can only stop Chaos standing together. ” |

| Shadow stared incredulously in Ribbon's direction as his question went unanswered. Though his voice was pleasant enough for conversation, the subject at hand was quite serious. In spite of that, Ribbon drifted past the query as if was flotsam.
Was she listening at all?
Resisting the urge to strike his palm against his forehead, Shadow shuffled closer to the protector of Leviathan, placing one hand on her shoulder and his mouth next to her ear. He looked out over her shoulder to the visiting senshi, letting his eyes glide past Enyalius's form to linger on his fellow interstellar travellers.
"It would make our duty easier to accept their help. They're not here to rope you into some one-sided deal, and if that was the case, I wouldn't allow you to lose face in your hour of need." |

| Leviathan looked mad, but Ribbon had no idea what was going on. What had they said? She watched as Leviathan turned first to the mermaid senshi, and then around to look at a picture on the wall -- was that... Leviathan? It looked different, like the fish people, but still familiar; was Leviathan looking at herself for strength? She could hear the reverberations of Leviathan's voice through her helmet again, but she couldn't make out anything but her tone. She seemed sad. She wanted to go over to comfort her, but before she could even shift her weight in the anti-dexterous suit two of the other senshi got there first. The armored one - Enyalius - swam over to stand in front of the picture and spoke to Leviathan again, and then nodded her head towards Shadow -- Ribbon followed the motion to find Shadow staring right at her and immediately averted her gaze. What was his problem? He started to move, but the mermaid one was faster and spoke a lot more, flashing her tail about before SPLITTING IT INTO LEGS?! Ribbon recoiled, stepping backward in disgust, her heavy boot hitting the floor behind her hard. What in the world?! She watched as the mermaid swam in front of Leviathan and made to move forward again, if to do nothing but pull her friend away from the sea creature, before remembering that this was Leviathan's planet and, judging by its inhabitants, she might be used to weird things. Shadow reached them then and seemed to whisper something in Leviathan's ear, his eyes moving from Enyalius and mermaid-girl in front of him, to the rest of them still gathered at the door. She folded her arms and muttered crossly aloud to herself, knowing the words would never make it past her helmet into others' ears. "If he's telling her I should go home..." |

| This was going swimmingly. Oberon had joined up with this merry bunch of universal senshi when he finally reached Leviathan. The large number of them was slightly worrying as he had seen many times how major teamwork this kind of group required could go wrong. Many minds, many opinions, views, untrained soldiers, misunderstood orders, lack of chemistry between one or more member of the fighting garrison... to say he was wary was perhaps even an understatement. There were ten ways he saw, before following them through the very uncomfortable sucking in gravity hellhole - as he called it, how this could go all wrong and there were probably many more. If his own journey from his meditation break from galactic missions and gathering to Leviathan was somewhat uneventful, this was going to be enough of a handful. He was used to slowly passing time but also to working alone. Not that he hated groups. He used to fight with many of those, but it was always easier to have only your life to worry about. At least, most of them seemed to know each other. But what he gathered was Sailor Leviathan didn't really help his overall feeling about this. Time. Well, if there was time to lose, they should be soon out of it. Chaos was not a kindergarten playground and if they kept swimming around like indecisive moss balls, they'd rot there soon enough. Hard to do one's job when the very planetary protector wouldn't let you in. His lips traced a fine line, keeping his eyes on Enyalius, he had automatically raised to ordering officer in his inner hierarchy for this fight, Ribbon, Shadow and Leviathan, he still was trying to assess whether she'd be a liability on her own planet or not. His eyes sometimes would dart around them by cautious habit. This was getting ridiculous but what could he say really? 'Hey kids, recreation's over and we're here so this planet and countless others don't die so can you all share your toys and sand pools? We'll bicker later'? Not the best first impression and also none of his business.

| Sailor Leviathan's eyes went huge when Sailor Enyalius pointed out the mural of all things. She went to say something but held it back in frantic nervousness. She bit her fingers with sharp, pointed teeth and tapped her foot rapidly.
It was a look rarely seen on Leviathan. In fact, the only ones who might have recognized it where the ones who were there when she was outed in Crystal Tokyo for her role as the tabloid reporter Rita Sharp.
Her fear was the fear of an imposter, a liar who was about to be caught.
Shadow quickly eased her fears though. She sighed and whispered back.
"OK, I'll let them tag along but if something bad happens to me and this planet, I need you to save Enoch and Ribbon. They never should have been involved. I can trust you to save them if I'm gone, right Shadow?"
She frowned as both Sailor Nocturnus and Sailor Amatheia tried to comfort her in their own ways. She wasn't used to this kind of treatment and approached it with quiet discomfort.
"Look, Mermaid Legs, I don't do musicals. But fine. You all can try to help, but you should know, Nocty, it's not going to be easy. I mean, you guys are useless under water, especially Brawns for Brains over there. Any physical swing is going to be useless in water. You'd be done for against an opponent. So magic users and Mermaids Legs are fine. The rest of you, go home."
Leviathan fidgeted nervously, hoping they wouldn't bring up the fact that she just said she could fix that problem. |

| Amatheia watched with some curiosity at the interaction between this man named Shadow, and the senshi Leviathan. She couldn't quite hear what he was whispering, but her eyes did catch the touch of the shoulder between them and Amatheia tilted her head slightly. Lovers perhaps? But it seemed whatever he had said had a positive effect.
When Leviathan responded to her, calling her mermaid legs, Amatheia smiled with something approaching amusement. “My apologies, Sailor Leviathan. Please do not feel obligated to sing back, it is only how my people are. And I am also sorry I did not introduce myself, I am Sailor Amatheia.” She softly hummed a bit, drifting to the side a bit as Leviathan addressed the others. “Actually they seem fairly capable in a water element. They may not have the inborn abilities of natural water dwellers such as us, but they are not inept either. Perhaps a credit to their senshi abilities..?” She mused a bit over the last bit.
But then she shook it off and motioned to Shadow. “Or perhaps they could be granted abilities such as...Shadow, correct? He seems quite at home in the water, and to my eyes he also seems to be fully human. How do you manage that? Is it your power, or Leviathans?” She asked, half looking at him now. |

| Eshana chose to remain quiet as she watched everything unfold in front of her. For a group of people who had fought together, there seem to be a lot of tension between them. Why was Leviathan acting so nervous and trying to deny their help? "With all due respect, I do not believe now is the time for disagreements or the time for frivolous conversation," she eyed Amatheia from where she was standing. Did the senshi not understand how dire the entire situation was and that they didn't have time to waste on idle chit chat? "You were about the investigate the earthquake when we arrived. I believe it would be prudent for all of us to join you and defeat chaos." She stressed the world all, letting the younger senshi know that it wasn't negotiable at this point. They were here to destroy Chaos and Eshana knew she wouldn't leave until she has accomplished her goal or she was dead. |

| When the strange negotiations had begun, Achelois was looking around, checking for any injury caused by the shaking. Seeing nothing that needed immediate attention she returned her attention back to the group. While it was completely in character for Leviathan to claim no help was needed, she felt the need for them to hurry. When they left Andromeda they only had 17 hours left, then there was the time needed to travel between planets. How much time was left? Should they tell Leviathan of this development? Achelois was glad that Enya was the one convincing her to accept their help, Shadow too appeared to be persuading her towards that end. Leaving the talk to the other, she looked around at the group and their surroundings. Her eye falling on Ribbon in her water suit. Hopefully Leviathan could do for her whatever she had done for Shadow, Amatheia seemed to be bringing the idea to her now. Her eyes jumped to the two people who had joined with them on their journey over. More people meant more strength but it also meant more chances for mistakes like the last one that gravely injured her. Next time it may not be her but someone else, like Nocturnus or Ribbon. |

| Sailor NocturnusWell, it wasn't a no. That was better than Nocturnus had feared. As she listened to what the sailor soldier of this planet was saying to the assembled group, there was an undercurrent of desperation. It was something Sailor Nocturnus could sense in the older girl's posture. The dark-clad sailor soldier-in-training wondered if the earthquakes would begin again soon. The first words had involved "again". Based on everything they had encountered in previous missions, that was not a good thing to hear. The shorter, younger girl with dark hair didn't respond to Leviathan's warning. In fact, she hoped they would get moving soon. How much time did they have to waste? Wasn't the Chaos Seed going to be sprouting or binding or whatever kind of evil thing it did very soon? Sailor Nocturnus tried to hide her concern, but her dark eyes glanced around, waiting for danger. |

| Leviathan hadn't answered her question, and as Amatheia swam over with a song on her lips, Enyalius stiffened, clenching her jaw shut tight. But if Amatheia had tried any Siren Song business, it wasn't readily apparent; Leviathan did not immediately agree after hearing it - in fact it was Shadow that got her to finally respond. Enya had kept her eyes on the redhead, watching how she had nervously chewed on her fingers, an act Enyalius took as simple nervous fear in the same vein of her previous outburst against them: she wanted help, she just didn't want to accept it. Leviathan seemed to give in, whispering something back to Shadow before she made an announcement to the rest of them. She mainly ignored the nickname Brawns for Brains after the initial flash of anger; the emotion was irrational and brought about by the pain in her chest and so ignoreable - and, besides, compared to other nicknames Leviathan had come up with, it wasn't bad. However, what Leviathan said was correct. With her strength she could swim around like this, and without engaging her lungs yet from traveling in space, she could survive here without drowning, but swinging the flat side of her sword around would prove much less effective through this medium. Regardless, she wasn't going back to Enyalius; she'd stay here and help them, even if it was just to slow enemies down with her one attack and resort to straight-stabbing people or giving up the return swing in a forward slash. Amatheia's words caught her attention at the end, as she drew attention to Shadow. Upon closer inspection she could see the gills on the side of his neck, adding to whatever ability he had been granted that allowed him to move through the water like he might have through air on solid ground. Had Leviathan done that? The gills weren't all that important to her, but the ability to move without the water's restraint... She appreciated Sedna's voice adding to this, but if Leviathan had a way to better their movements, she wanted to know what it was before it was too late to be of any use. |

| Shadow's hand lingered on Leviathan's shoulder before withdrawing, though its owner had a few more words to share to the patron senshi of this watery world. "You can trust me. I think Ribbon will need an assist; she looks 'tethered' and seemed to ignore my question."
Shadow's eyes turned next to Sailor Amatheia, who took interest in the nature of his ease in breathing water. He opened his mouth to reply to "Mermaid Legs," but another senshi in a dark uniform spoke up and asserted the importance of both their mission and that Leviathan were to be reinforced with their help.
I do not yet know your name, but you are absolutely right. Shadow briefly smiled towards Eshana, then stepped away from Leviathan to draw attention to himself. He raised his voice to address the gathered warriors, both those familiar and foreign. "Listen up, senshi! We should be moving out soon. Our goal here is to discover the source of these earthquakes before they compromise the core of Planet Leviathan. We also need to find out what happened to Leviathan's friends, Enoch and Guardian Leviathan; they left twenty-four Terran hours before us and are currently missing, with little to no communciation since that time." |

| 'Listen up, senshi?' Enyalius crossed her arms. From the get-go Enyalius had her hackles up, her copper eyes narrowing on Shadow's back as he addressed the others. The phrase was not only unnecessary - they were all paying attention to begin with - but seemed anything but complimentary. One did not address their equals in such a manner - only their subordinates, and senshi were in no way Shadow's subordinates , a fact he should know after what had happened on the maze planet not even two days ago. Temper mounting, she got what information she needed out of his speech and waited for him to continue with an actual plan rather than a statement of facts, but he offered nothing else. With a sigh she picked things up for him, " The source of the earthquakes is probably the Chaos Seed. I trust you've mapped out the epicenter of the quakes to give us somewhere to start looking?" she lead, her tone not exactly friendly. |

| Seeing Enya's arms crossed and her narrowed eyes, she easily picked up both visible cues and with her limited empathic skills, Eshana shook her head and walked over to where Enyalius was standing. Placing herself close to the other senshi so that she would hear her lower tones but far enough away to give the upset senshi some space, she spoke; "I know that what he said wasn't right and I agree with your anger. However, right now isn't the time for strife in the group; we need to be able to work together to defeat the Chaos seed without resentment or anger clouding our judgement. If you still feel the need to take his...less than desirable attitude up with him after than by all means do it." She herself had bristled at the way he had used the word senshi as if they were beneath him. She was the daughter of the Goddess Sedna, if anything, she was above the mortal. However, her father had raised her to believe in equality and one person having more power than the other did not make them better. Now however was not the time. If he continued with her lack of respect and attitude, she would have a word with him herself. It would do the group no good to have resentment between them. |

| Unlike the others, Sailor Leviathan didn't see Shadow's remarks as negative. She thought it funny in an odd sense.
"Senshi? What are you, some kind of weeb, Shadow? Who even says senshi anymore? It’s clearly scouts. Stop worrying about grammar. New Queen Selena wouldn’t want you guys to get worked up over symmantics.”
And there, suddenly, was a hint of silly Leviathan again. She seemed to be warming up to them. She thought further on the issue at hand.
"The core’s pretty deep. I’ve barely been down there myself. Enoch and Guardian Leviathan on the other hand… they’ve seen a lot. They’re strong, no, Guardian Leviathan is strong. Enoch’s weak. If he’s attacked by one of those Chaos freaks..."
She became distracted again and sighed. She then looked toward the others.
"I suppose I could give you my blessing to move around normally. I just... I... need to be sure of something." |

| Amatheia looked at Sedna as she spoke up, a mere tilt of the head her only reaction. She hadn't really considered her conversation frivolous, but if the other woman saw it that way, then there was no point in arguing or correcting her. She gave Leviathan a light smile before she swam a bit away from her, giving her space now as she hummed faintly to herself.
She wouldn't be objective to moving and being able to swim freely again, though it did seem there were a few things to be settled, like the possibility of letting the others adapt to the water as Shadow had. Amatheia rather doubted she could swim at full speed even if they ran, but a decent pace could certainly be set.
Amatheia allowed herself to float a bit in the water, brushing her fingers lightly through her hair as Shadow called out to everyone. From the corner of her eye, she could see Enyalius reacting rather negatively, though she couldn't really figure out what had done it. To her, being referred to as senshi held no possibility for insult, but only a title of honor. Though she did very much wonder what this word 'scouts' was.
She smiled almost politely at Leviathan's silliness before she began explaining about the core of Leviathan. Then she lightly frowned in puzzlement at what seemed to be hesitancy in the senshi's tone as she spoke about giving her blessing. What was troubling her? But she remained silent. She could only presume it applied more to senshi less capable in the water than herself. |

| Shadow raised an eyebrow at Leviathan's strange remark. It felt strangely funny and invigorating, given the sudden tension that came about from Enya's impatient sighing and her leading dialogue. Not one to back down from an unfriendly response, Shadow opened his mouth to deliver a dry retort without immediately facing the senshi leader.
"Yeah. Leviathan and I studied maps of the other side when we weren't focused on bracing Pearl City against another quake. I plan to go there, find what is causing the quakes, and end it through any necessary means."
Shadow then turned to meet Enya's gaze, not bothering to hide the look of understated defiance in his own eyes. With regard to the maze planet, he had neither forgotten the taste of Enya's vitriol nor the way she had denied him an opportunity to defend himself. With the majority of his last 24 hours spent on volunteer work for Leviathan's sake, Shadow was in no mood to be treated like a roll of toilet tissue. His voice took on a slight inflection, jabbing at the previous summary offered by someone he once held in higher regard.
"This might come as a shock to you, but I don't believe the 'Chaos Seed' is a fixed object like what we saw on Achelois. The area we are preparing to visit is inhabited by dragons - the same kind that Guardian Leviathan and Enoch had planned to approach on diplomatic terms a day ago. In other words, one of them could be a host."
The man in black raised a hand to his hair, fruitlessly attempting to get the short brown locks to settle down. "Are you ready to go?" |
