Sailor Metallon - SilenceWall (saturn_derek)[6:09:38 PM] Kyralih: The gardens of the Crystal Palace were alive with light and color on this beautiful afternoon day; the sky was blue and nearly cloudless, the temperature mild, a light breeze teasing hair and decor, tablecloths wafting elegantly as guests milled around, making new friends as they waited for Neo Queen Serenity to make her appearance.
[6:11:56 PM] MaxisAerian: Archibald and Rayden warp in from Skyrim to the Crystal Palace Arch kindly showed the gate guards his invite.
[6:12:29 PM] Kyralih: Near the front of the garden, standing by the crystal doors into the grand palace itself, stood Sailor Mars, speaking quietly into a communicator as she surveyed the crowd of dignatires and Crystal Tokyo VIP, her eyes staying on a few select individuals in the crowd - these were the People of the Hour, friends new and old to the Solar System who, in her mind, needed to be briefed about their expectations as possible visitors, let alone citizens, of the planet.
[6:13:28 PM] Kyralih: The guests at the gate take the proffered invitations with a smile, motioning the pair into the garden area.
[6:15:21 PM] Silence Wall: Sailor Metallon walked into the Palace Gardens, excited to be amongst such well respected Sailor Senshi. She didn't know anyone here so she hoped to say hello to someone.
[6:16:49 PM] MaxisAerian: Arch spoke to Rayden, "If we get through this, we might earn the Senshi's assistance." And Rayden could only say, "This is our only shot to prove ourselves loyal to these soldiers of Sol." They enter the palace Foyer, and hope to meet a Senshi.
[6:18:06 PM] Kyralih: When Sailor Mars caught Sailor Enyalius's eye, the foreign senshi held her gaze, sipping her drink slowly as just the smallest touch of nervousness figited within her - when she had suggested touring the galaxy, she hadn't thought they would end up at the home of the most famous senshi in the history of the cosmos. She broke eye contact first - the violet eyes of the crimson-suited sailor soldier were a little too intense for her, though she scoweled to herself at having to silently admit it.
[6:21:11 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: Sailor Io stopped at the gate and pulled out her invitation, making sure she still had it. She could throw herself into a fight without hesitation back home, but the sight of a formal party made her nervous for some reason. She had no idea how to handle herself in a situation like this, but she couldn't afford to screw it up. She had to make a good first impression for her own group. Swallowing hard, she stepped up to the gate guard and offered the invitation, making sure she still looked composed.
[6:21:20 PM] ☼Yumi/Saturn: Sailor Splash approcahed the Crystal Palace, eager to meet some new friends. She wanted to explore the area as much as possible, but from past occurances and outcomes, she decided to be on her best behavior... for now.
[6:23:22 PM] MaxisAerian: For Arch and Rayden this Assembly was a new experience, should he get the chance to speak his message of greeting in front of the entire senshi, he knew exactly how to pass it through.
[6:24:40 PM] Kayariah: Sailor Lunar Eclipse approached the gate to Crystal Palace and smiled to herself. She was excited to be invited to such an event, even though she would never let anyone else know/see that. She looked around for her sister. It didn't look like she had shown up yet or maybe she was inside already? She gave herself a moment to look at the Palace from the outside. It was huge and so very pretty! The inside was probably even more beautiful. She walked up to the guard, handed him her invitation and took her first steps inside.
[6:25:14 PM] ☼Tiana Ballard: Sailor Achelois felt Enya tense up next to her. She followed her eyes to find them on a rather powerful Senshi. She smiled slightly to herself, they certainly weren't expecting to visit such a famous planet. She didn't have much experience with formal parties such as this one so she stayed near Enya.
[6:28:49 PM] Kyralih: Enyalius glances up, the little scowl still on her face as she checks the sky in an inane attempt to check the time - inane because she was still too new to the planet to be able to tell time by the passing of their star. Regardless, she commented crossly to Achelois, "Shouldn't this thing have started by now?"
[6:31:36 PM] ☼Tiana Ballard: Achelois smiled sweetly back at Enya's apparent aggitation. "Why the rush? Let's just enjoy this party." However she understood her impatience as she was excited to see the Queen.
[6:31:49 PM] Kyralih: "The Garden Audience Chamber is this way!" An attendant addressed, guiding the new arrivals through the Crystal Palace foyers towards the tall set of elevators that shot into the sky, nearly fifty stories up, to the public open-air forum. The elevator doors would open onto the grassy expanse that hosted the day's main event.
[6:32:23 PM] Kyralih: Enya's eyes glared sidelong at Achelois's patient smile and went back to sipping her drink.
[6:33:08 PM | Removed 6:33:13 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: This message has been removed.
[6:35:02 PM] Kayariah: She flew threw the doors and looked around. 'Wow! Everything is so huge!' She thought to herself. It looked like she was late, nothing new there, the party was in full swing already.
[6:36:57 PM] ☼Tiana Ballard: Achelois laughed silently to herself as they moved around the garden admiring all the different flowers not found on her own planet. Her favorite was deep red in color with an intricate pattern woven in its petals.
[6:37:15 PM] ☼Yumi/Saturn: Sailor Splash, after taking in the majestic scene of the palace, entered the party and searched for some familiar faces. Sailor Splash had some history with some of these Senshi already when they helped save her planet Aqua, but the crowd was surely too large to possibly point anyone out.
[6:39:24 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: Sailor Io was silent as she looked around while the elevators ascended. Nothing else on Earth could compare to the Crystal Palace's grandeur. And there were so many different senshi here, with who knows what kinds of abilities. "This place is incredible..." she said, stepping out into the forum.
[6:39:58 PM] Kyralih: With another quick glance towards the Sol sailor senshi in red, Enya let her gaze wander as Achelois guided them around the garden, her brow raised slightly as she surveyed the "normal" guests, those that were obviously from Earth with little to no power signatures about them. Were they also "first time visitors" to Crystal Tokyo? It was then that she caught sight of another Senshi - black hair, blue, black and silver uniform, not of the Sol styling; she wondered briefly about the senshi's history, but didn't feel chatty enough to engage her about it. ((Sailor Splash, lookin' at you! XD))
[6:46:28 PM] ☼Tiana Ballard: Achelois enjoyed looking around at all the other guests as their positive energy overflowed. She continued sipping this "punch" and found it absolutely delightful, much more flavorful than the berrywater she often enjoyed at home.
[6:46:35 PM] Kayariah: Lunar Eclipse flew around the room, leaving silver sparkles in her trail, as she searched for her sister. It didn't look like she was in the room either. She stopped and landed on a nearby flower. Everyone looked pretty happy to be here. There was waiters and waitresses walking around the room passing out drinks and different types of finger foods. She wondered if the arranged some itty bitty versions that she would be able to eat!
[6:48:25 PM] ☼Yumi/Saturn: Sailor Splash got a glimspe of a Senshi looking at her, and then looked away as if pretending she wasn't. Sailor Splash wasn't stupid, and loved to cause scenes. She quickly walked over behind the mysterious Senshi and placed her hand on her back. With a spunky smile, she said "Hi there! I'm Sailor Splash, the only Senshi from the Planet of Aqua and my galaxy for that matter."
[6:51:21 PM] ☼Verdandi/Pluto: Sailor Solar Eclipse knew she was late, after having gotten a little lost. It was hard to navigate when everything was so incredibly large. But there it was, the entrance, and Solar Eclipse flew towards it as fast as she could. She wasn't sure where her sister had gone off to, but she hoped that Zelena had found her way inside as well.
[6:52:22 PM] Kyralih: Enyalius spit out her drin in surprise, her eyes wide at the unexpected physical contact, her muscles twitching instinctively towards a counterattack -
[6:52:23 PM] ☼Tiana Ballard: Achelois felt Enya's whole body change to attack and immediately sent out a huge wave of calming energy over her friend.
[6:53:07 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: Sailor Io picked up the sound of tiny wings beating and looked around for the source of it, confused. Maybe it was a humming bird? After a few minutes, she spotted Lunar Eclipse. She squnted a little to see the fairy like figure clearer. Was that...a tiny senshi? Now very curious, she went over to the flower to investigate. "Uh...hello there." She probably looked rather dumb talking to what probably looked like a plant to others, but she put that aside.
[6:53:17 PM] Kyralih: - and calmed, catching her breath as her glaring copper gaze turned first toward Achelois and then towards her "new friend", Sailor Splash. "Hi...."
[6:53:30 PM] Kyralih: (she said, her voice low, almost like a growl).
[6:53:36 PM] Kyralih: (and her eyebrows twitching)
[6:53:48 PM] Silence Wall: Metallon noticed someone flying around the room and felt she was right at home. She was just a senshi who could control metal and had to deal with her crime-ridden town. She then noticed another Senshi that flew towards the entrance and wanted to say hello to someone, so she felt that this would be a good opportunity.
[6:55:20 PM] Kayariah: Lunar Eclipse looked up to find someone talking to her. "uuuh...hello?" She said awkwardly. She wasn't very fond of strangers until she got to know them better. She learned a long time ago to never trust people right away.
[6:56:27 PM] ☼Tiana Ballard: Moving quickly she put herself slightly inbetween Enya and the new Senshi. She smiled and offered a welcome, "Hello there."
[6:56:50 PM] ☼Yumi/Saturn: Sailor Splash raised her left hand as is glowed from the Gem of Aqua in her palm. This was a normal thing, since this was the source of her power, looked at it and grinned at the girl as if mocking her. She was determined to make this sourpuss smile. "If you shake this hand, I promise it doesn't bite." Sailor Splash giggled.
[6:57:24 PM] ☼Verdandi/Pluto: Solar Eclipse felt happy that she had found the proper place that everyone appeared to be gathering in. She noticed another girl looking over at her, and suddenly feeling concerned, Solar Eclipse flitted over to her, curious. "Is there something you need?" she asked the darkly clad lady.
[7:01:13 PM] Kyralih: Enyalius glanced at the crystal glowing in Sailor Splash's left hand, then back at the girl's grinning face, and offered a skeptical, "I think I'll pass..." not knowing quite the sense in the action if all weapons had been checked at the gate.
[7:01:55 PM] Silence Wall: "Hello there. I just feel overwhelmed, but in a good way. I'm just from a small town and am really looking forward to meet some cool Senshi, but I had issues trying to say hi to people." Metallon said to Solar Eclipse.
[7:02:36 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: Io backed off slightly, not wanting to offend Lunar Eclipse. "Ah, sorry if I'm bothering you. I'm not sure how this whole formal event thing works... I'm Sailor Io," she introduced herself, giving the other senshi a bow of respect.
[7:03:38 PM] ☼Verdandi/Pluto: Solar Eclipse smiled. "That's okay!" she told the other girl. "I must admit that I am feeling overwhelmed as well. Being in such a large place, with such large people is definitely a little strange." She stopped then, and smiled even more. "We can stick together, if you want."
[7:04:09 PM] Kayariah: Lunar Eclipse blinked slowly, a bit confused. She didn't mean to come off cold...she had trouble with that. No wonder she didn't have that many friends. "It's okay. I just didn't expect anyone to see me, let alone talk to me. I'm Sailor Lunar Eclipse."
[7:05:49 PM] Silence Wall: "Why thank you. I guess I never introduced myself. I'm Sailor Metallon, but my real name is Orianne." Metallon said, interested in what her new friend's name was as well.
[7:08:15 PM] ☼Tiana Ballard: Achelois looked oddly at the extended hand to Enya, maybe it was greeting on this planet. She stood closer to Enya and placed her hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry, we're not familiar with this gesture, could you explain it to us?"
[7:09:42 PM] Kyralih: Enyalius glanced over at Achelois, then above everyone's head back to the Red-suited Senshi in charge. Why did she let Achelois talk her into arriving early?
[7:11:02 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: "I probably would have had trouble seeing you too, if I didn't hear you flying first." Io admitted. "Ah, not that you fly loudly or anything, I just have good hearing. Sorry if I'm rambling about nothing..." she laughed nervously.
[7:11:30 PM] ☼Yumi/Saturn: "I picked this gesture up on the Planet Earth, the Planet the Senshi in charge here protect. It means hello, it is also a gesture of friendship." Sailor Splash said, putting her hand on top of the hand on her shoulder. "But this is nice too"
[7:12:55 PM] ☼Verdandi/Pluto: "I'm Sailor Solar Eclipse, and my real name is Aeliana. Nice to meet you." She paused and glanced around the surroundings before turning her attention back onto Metallon in front of her. "Have you happened to see another girl about my size? She's likely to be flying around just like me."
[7:13:20 PM] Kayariah: She wasn't sure what to make of this girl. She seemed very nervous and awkward. Was it her that made the other girl nervous? "It's okay. I mean you are rambling, but you seem nervous. I hear that rambling is a side effect of that. And I'm glad I don't fly loudly! That wouldn't be good for me around enemies or other animals that might want a snack!"
[7:14:59 PM | Edited 7:15:37 PM] Kayariah: "I don’t sugar coat things…sorry if I offend you." She told the other girl. “I’ve been told by my sister that I should work on that…”
[7:16:44 PM] Silence Wall: "Pleased to meet you Solar Eclipse. Umm I saw someone flying around but I'm not sure where she went, it's easy to blend in with the crowd here".
[7:19:40 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: "Offend me? I was worried about offending you. I'm not exactly royalty or anything like that, so I'm sorry if I'm not acting right or something." She paused at the sound of another set of wings. "Is that your sister over there?" she asked, pointing out Solar Eclipse.
[7:19:53 PM] ☼Verdandi/Pluto: Solar Eclipse frowned, and glanced around again. It felt strange to be without her sister, especially in such a big place like this. She never went too long without being in her sister's safe presence. But she trusted that Zelena was okay. She still kept an eye out for the other girl, however. "Is your home much like this place, Sailor Metallon?"
[7:21:24 PM] Kayariah: Lunar Eclipse looked over to where Io was pointing. Indeed that was her sister! Talking with another girl it looked like. "Yeah it is! Thanks for pointing her out and thanks for the....well whatever this was." She smiled slightly, awkwardly, and flew off towards her sister
[7:22:28 PM] Kyralih: 'So Sailor Splash had been here before?' Enya pieced together, wondering how long the visit had been. But movement towards the entrance caught her attention immediately - the crimson senshi, the only one from the Solar System within view, was moving. The young woman with long black hair clicked along the small crystal stage towards the set of wide double doors, and waited as another pair of young women joined her - a tall blonde with short hair and a dark blue uniform, and a slightly shorter girl with medium-length teal hair in a dark green uniform. The red senshi disappeared inside, and the others stepped forward authoratatively.
"Your Attention Please!" the blonde called, her voice low and commanding. The party quieted. "In a moment, Neo Queen Serenity will arrive to meet our new guests. Before that happens, I would like to remind /everyone/ that any act of violence, real or perceived, will be treated as a threat to our Queen, and the perpetrator will be dealt with swiftly." As if to make good on the promise, a blade of light appeared momentarily in the woman's hands, her dark blue eyes sweeping the audience, mercy nowhere in her gaze. Her partner stood off to the side, her eyes glancing down into the mirror she held there, a slight crease in her brow.
[7:29:20 PM] Kyralih: There was movement beyond the crystalline door, and as the glass swung open, the blonde senshi raised her voice. "Presenting Neo Queen Serenity and King Endymion, rulers of the Solar System, and their daughter and heir to the throne, Princess Small Lady Serenity!"
She stepped aside as a quartet of primary-colored senshi stepped through the doors, their line directly preceding the blonde Queen of the Solar System, Neo Queen Serenity herself. The quartet peeled off in pairs, the green and blue taking the queen's left, the red and yellow her right. The King, dressed in a handsome purple suit, stood slightly behind her and to the left, his hand on the shoulder of a younger girl with pink hair - the Princess. Behind them were two more senshi, one extremely tall wearing a black version of their uniform, the other smaller and in purple.
"Welcome to Earth!" the Queen, her voice bright and filled with sincere enthusiasm, called, her smile as wide and welcoming as her tone. "I'm excited to meet everyone today!"
[7:31:29 PM] Kyralih: With a smile, the blue-attired senshi stepped forward, a list in her hands. "When I call your name, please come forward.
Sailor Splash of Planet Aqua!
[7:32:11 PM] ☼Yumi/Saturn: Sailor Splash looked over at the royalty and waved her hand as she stepped closer. "Hi" She said, unafraid.
[7:35:30 PM] Kyralih: "Sailor Splash!" Neo Queen Serenity greeted, her smile wide and genuine. "Welcome back to Earth! I haven't seen you in so long - " she seemed to catch herself, standing taller as her blue eyes slid toward the red senshi's diretion, and continued with a more formal voice, "To what does Earth owe the pleasure?" ((o.o as in, whatcha doin here?))
[7:38:12 PM | Edited 7:38:37 PM] ☼Yumi/Saturn: "Oh, I got your..." Sailor Splash caught herself being way too chumly and smirked as if refreshing herself to be more formal, and not her smart butt antic self." I received your invintation, and couldn't miss a chance to mingle amoung other legends."
[7:41:02 PM] Kyralih: "Well that's good enough for -- I mean," the Queen seemed to struggle for a second, reeling herself back in, and then simply nodded. "Then it is wonderful to have you. If you would like to seek a private audience later, I would love the opportunity to catch up." She smiled, their quick second together ending as Mercury offered a smile to Sailor Splash and looked back down at her list.
[7:42:11 PM] Kyralih: "Sailor Io, of the Galilean Moon Io of planet Jupiter," Sailor Mercury called out, her eyes finding the girl.
[7:42:37 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: "No problem." Sailor Io said as Lunar Eclipse left. That had gone surprisingly well for her first conversation with a foreign dignitary. At least her smug shapeshifitng guardian at home couldn't taunt her about causing a planetary incident now. She watched at attention as the Sailor Senshi of Earth finally came out to greet them, along with Neo-Queen Serenity, King Endymion, and their daughter. She resisted the urge to bow down to her old princess from a previous life, remembering that she wasn't part of Jupiter's military anymore. Her superior was technically Serenity now.
[7:44:06 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: Sailor Io took a deep breath and stepped forward, before dropping onto one knee in front of the senshi. "I am honored to finally meet you, Your Majesties."
[7:44:47 PM] Kyralih: "And I, you, Sailor Io! Please stand," Serenity asked sincerely. "What brings you to Earth?"
[7:50:40 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: Io stood. "I only wished to see both your court and Crystal Tokyo in person, but..." She looked slightly embarrassed now. "I also wanted to meet my old princess."
[7:51:52 PM] Kyralih: Neo Queen Serenity smiled, turning to look at Sailor Jupiter with a warm expression, "I'm sure we can make that happen!"
[7:52:51 PM] Kyralih: Mercury smiled, too, glancing at the slightly nervous Sailor Jupiter before retuning to her sheet. "Sailor Solar Eclipse and Sailor Lunar Eclipse, from the planet Tajule!"
[7:54:48 PM] Kayariah: Sailor Lunar Eclipse blinked and looked over at her sister before slowly flying towards the others. She hoped her sister was following behind her. "Uuh...hello everyone."
[7:56:29 PM] Kyralih: Neo Queen Serenity didn't answer immediately, her eyes seeming to swim in stars as she took in the itty bitty teeny tiny senshi flying before her, an intense little smile on her face.
[7:56:47 PM] ☼Verdandi/Pluto: Solar Eclipse was surprised to hear her name called as she had been a little star struck at the sight of these regal beings. These were the ones her parents had talked about, the most powerful senshi in the whole galaxy. It was crazy to think they stood only a small distance away. She flew forward and stopped beside her sister. She did a bow, though it was not a thing she was used to, and it came out kind of awkward. "Hello, it is nice to finally meet you all."
[7:58:57 PM] Kyralih: "They're so cute" the Queen squeaked in an almost inaudible tone, the red senshi behind her seeming to resist a facepalm. "Hello! And welcome to Earth! Is there anything we can help you two with?"
[8:00:29 PM | Edited 8:01:30 PM] Kayariah: Her eyes widened at the Queen's response to their appearance. It didn't seem very professional like. "We were sent here by our parents. They said that the most powerful senshi's in the world lived here and if maybe we found you, we would be able to learn how to control our powers. The very powers that got us banished from our home."
[8:04:46 PM] Kyralih: The Queen's somewhat vane stance (her chest puffing and blush creeping at the praise) faded at the senshi's later comments. "You were banished?" she asked, her entire being radiating concern for the two before her. Behind her, King Endymion put his hand on Princess Small Lady Serenity's shoulder, the young girl affected by their words. With a glance from Sailor Venus, Sailor Saturn disappeared quickly into the palace as the others awaited an explanation.
[8:07:18 PM | Edited 8:08:01 PM] ☼Verdandi/Pluto: Solar Eclipse noticed that her sister's words had caused the atmosphere in the room to change, and she felt the need to lighten the mood. She smiled. "Well you see, our planet worships the Tajulean sun and moon, and well, we accidentally created eclipses, and well..." she trailed off and laughed, feeling slight awkward but unable to stop herself.. "It's all very understandable, when you think about it."
[8:09:19 PM] Kayariah: "Understandable?" Lunar Eclipse looked surprisingly at her sister. "They banished us...they didn't want us on their planet anymore just because they didn't understand our powers. They didn't even give us time to learn how to control our powers at our own home..They didn't care about us."
[8:12:48 PM] Kyralih: "But to have you banished?" Neo Queen Serenity trailed off... "Well, you're not homeless anymore - you can stay here with us, for as long as you want or need!"
Saturn returned from inside the Crystal Palace and nodded once. Venus, watching for this signal, stepped foward and whispered something in Neo Queen Serenity's ear; she smiled and clasped the hand of her friend.
"It's been arranged - if you wish, you may stay here at the palace - we can help you work on controlling your powers. Sailor Saturn is an expert at such things," Neo Queen Serenity beamed as Saturn looked at the two little senshi with interest, her deep purple eyes conveying layers of understanding.
[8:14:06 PM] Kayariah: Lunar Eclipse blinked slowly. Did they just offer to let them stay at the Palace? Why were they being so nice...what was their motive? She waited for her sister to respond and make the decision for them. I guess the palace had to be better than hiding from birds and other animals.
[8:15:30 PM] ☼Verdandi/Pluto: Surprised, Solar Eclipse glanced over at her sister. She could already tell that Zelena was trying to pick apart the offer, but she wasn't going to let this opportunity slip away. This was what they came here for! "Thank you so much," Solar Eclipse said to the Queen, a smile on her lips. "That is very kind. We accept the offer gladly."
[8:17:00 PM] Kyralih: The Queen smiled gladly, "Sailor Saturn -- " she turned slightly, as if responding to a quiet sound, "and Princess Small Lady Serenity will find you later to show you around. It is a pleasure to have you both here."
[8:17:50 PM] Kayariah: Lunar Eclipse smiled slightly. "Thank you for the offer."
[8:18:44 PM | Edited 8:18:53 PM] MaxisAerian: As for Arch and Rayden, they're here for the Senshi assistance for what lies beyond Alduin, and the events of the Dragonborn DLC. ((Sorry, I feel out of context, tonight.))
[8:19:09 PM] Kyralih: Sailor Mercury, after typing something into a small computer, called out the next name. "Archibald Kayin McShane, Former Captain of the United Galaxy Space Force of the Spore Universe; Thane of Whiterun, and Dragonborn of Skyrim."
The Queen glanced over, confusion plain on her face, the titles strange enough to completely throw her off.
[8:21:18 PM] MaxisAerian: As Arch approached the monarchs, his knee bent in reverence, "Your graces, I'm glad I found you, and I don't have a lot of time to explain the titles, so I'll be brief."
[8:22:47 PM] Kyralih: The Queen glanced backwards and, as if silently summoned, King Endymion stepped forward to stand beside her. Looking comforted, she waited for him to continue, her expression serious.
[8:26:34 PM] MaxisAerian: "Skyrim is the northenmost province of Tamriel, a continent of Nirn, of the Mundus System, a System beyond your reach. I was once the Captain for a Galactic Navy, but treachery took it away from me. Now I wander the dimensional fabric in search of new adventures." Rayden added, "Your graces, my buddy here, is fighting Dragons in Skyrim, and he fears an old evil of yours is about to emerge there, once he slays the big dragon, Alduin."
[8:28:39 PM] MaxisAerian: Arch described the evil that was depicted in his dreams, "In my dreams, she's a red-headed witch, she took Oblivion over. And began calling it the new Negaverse."
[8:29:43 PM] Kyralih: Neo Queen Serenity's brows furrowed with the influx of new names, places, information, looking more than a little overwhelmed. Beside her, King Endymion looked very thoughtful, while Sailor Mercury's fingers were flying over her keyboard, noting everything he had said.
But at his last statement, Mercury's fingers froze, and Endymion and Serenity caught and held each other's gaze, while the senshi behind her seemed to hold their breath. "Beryl," Serenity spoke quietly.
[8:31:01 PM] MaxisAerian: "I see you've faced her before," the Dragonborn said, "I will shout her down, if I must, but not without your help."
[8:32:47 PM] MaxisAerian: Rayden quipped, "She's in Oblivion now, but when she shows her ugly face, watch out, his voice will tear her asunder!"
[8:34:05 PM] Kyralih: Sailor Pluto stepped forward, meeting Venus, and the two spoke in quiet tones together.
King Endymion spoke, "We will help you, if we can. We will arrange a private meeting later, to learn more of your plight."
[8:35:36 PM] Kyralih: Looking worried, Neo Queen Serenity nodded in agreement. "We will help you."
[8:36:52 PM] MaxisAerian: Soon Arch began to see words of power in front of Neo Queen Serenity the words were in the dragon language: VulonKrien (Moon) Du'ul(Crown) Lah(Magicka).
[8:39:51 PM] MaxisAerian: "Thank you for your cooperation." Arch steps down with Rayden on his shoulder, with the new words of power aquired for Lunar Strike.
[8:40:09 PM] Kyralih: Sailor Mercury finished typing, and motioned subtly for Archibald and his assistant to wait to the left of the stage as she called for the next person. "Sailor Metallon of planet Metallon."
[8:44:58 PM] Silence Wall: Metallon tried to keep calm when she was called by Mercury. She walked up with grace, considering whom she was about to speak to. She didn't have much experience with talking to people of such high status. Metallon went up to where Neo Queen Serenity and Prince Endymion were standing and looked right at them.
[8:46:42 PM] Kyralih: "Welcome to Earth," Neo Queen Serenity addressed, her smile waning a bit since her address with the foreigner from Skyrim. "How can we help you?"
[8:49:04 PM] Silence Wall: "Hello Neo Queen Serenity. Thank you for the welcome. I come from a town on a planet which ever since I became a Sailor Senshi has become infested with crime. You and your fellow Senshi have worked so hard to make Earth as orderly and peaceful as possible and I would if it is not too much trouble, request to help make the people on my planet commit less crimes."
[8:54:56 PM] Kyralih: Puzzled, Neo Queen Serenity glanced back to Sailor Venus, who had finished her conversation with Pluto - she had the most experience with vigilante crime fighting. Venus shrugged minutely, and the Queen turned back to Sailor Metallon, "We can train you, if you like, - "
Sailor Venus stepped forward to finish the thought, "But our intervention on your planet with your planet's populace might not be the best solution - they will see us as outsiders and only exasperate the problem. It's up to you, Sailor Metallon, to get your people to join together." She smiled, "But you can loan us out as helpers for a time."
Neo Queen Serenity smiled, her bubbliness slowly returning, "Rent a Senshi!"
[8:58:20 PM] Silence Wall: "That would be greatly appreciated Neo Queen Serenity. I try my hardest to make the streets of my planet safe but I do admit that I need help. Thank you so much." Metallon smiled as she knew she would have the support she needed, and hopefully she could one day handle the issues on her planet herself.
[8:59:55 PM] Kyralih: Serenity nodded.
Mercury called out, "Sailor Achelois from planet Achelois"
[9:02:07 PM] ☼Tiana Ballard: Achelois gracefully stepped forward and bowed slightly as she had seen the others do. "I'm here merely to enjoy your party and celebrate." Achelois smiled sweetly at the Queen.
[9:02:52 PM] Kyralih: Neo Queen Serenity smiled, grateful to have just another guest. "I hope you enjoy it to the maximum! Welcome to Earth, Sailor Achelois."
[9:03:11 PM] Kyralih: Sailor Mercury offered the girl a smile, and moved to the next name. "Sailor Enyalius, of planet Enyalius."
[9:06:26 PM] Kyralih: Enyalius moved forward, careful of her armor and the sleek dresses and tablecloths in the area. She stopped before the royal court and bowed her head, her thoughts racing and her heart beating quickly, her home fresh on her mind along with her failure.
"Welcome to Earth, Sailor Enyalius," Neo Queen Serenity prompted. "How can we help you?"
She thought for only a second before shrugging, nodding her head back towards her companion, Sailor Achelois. "What she said."
Serenity smiled, "It's nice to meet you," she then whispered to the two of them, as though hoping to keep things light, "Try the cakes!"
[9:07:24 PM] Kyralih: Sailor Mercury called out, "Sailor Nocturnus", without mention of a home star or planet.
[9:09:34 PM] Aurae (Alice): Outside the gates of the Crystal Palace's gardens, a waifish figure darted nervously about at a distance--close enough to be vaguely suspicious, but not quite enough to seem threatening. Security was a bit lax on physical presences today, due to the event welcoming special guests from across the universe, although anyone with ill-intentions might not find it to be immediately easy access. Although she continually paced back and forth, or hopped back and forth, or wriggled back and forth, the girl was trying desperately not to catch the attention of the guards.
She just... it was... it... oh, she was so anxiousssssss! What were they like--these other sailor soldiers? She knew there were sailor soldiers, but only from the stories told to children! She had never actually thought they were REAL until she had transformed herself! And to think that out of all the random places she could have ended up, this place had SO MANY sailor soldiers! What would they be like? Would they be friends just because they were all sailor soldiers? What if they didn't like her??? What if they wanted to hurt her? There were so many "what ifs" that it made her head pound and her twisted-up stomach feel even more twisted-up with uneasiness.
When the music suddenly quieted, Pamima's heart sank. The party had started! Officially! And she wasn't there!
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and took that leap she had been avoiding all day. She felt her uniform wrap around her in the soft embrace of her transformation sequence, and within seconds she was Sailor Nocturnus. Tightly gripping her invitation, she rushed inside and displayed it for verification just in the nick of time--her short form easily disappearing into the crowd at the back of the room as the hosts of the party processed out. She did her best not to be noticed, clinging closely to the walls and avoiding all eye contact, as one by one the guests were invited forward.
When they finally called her name, she felt her heart catch in her throat. With a deep breath, trying not to shake as much as she felt inside, the girl stepped forward and curtseyed as gracefully as she could manage under so much pressure.
[9:13:26 PM] Kyralih: Neo Queen Serenity's heart melted at the sight of the small senshi, sensing her anxiety the moment the girl stepped forward. "Welcome to Earth, Sailor Nocturnus," she offered, her voice soft and warm. "How can we help you?"
[9:20:03 PM] Aurae (Alice): Sailor Nocturnus jumped slightly at the Queen's address, despite the warm and caring tone and knowing that obviously she would be spoken to. Her cheeks warmed as she felt herself flush nervously, imagining all the other people in the room who might be watching her right now. She wobbled a little bit as she rose from her position, and choked on the words she wasn't sure how to phrase.
"I... My mother..." she began, trailing off.
How much could she trust these strangers? She quivered, wondering if Sarastro was already on this planet. Perhaps even in this room. Watching her. Waiting.
Still, there was something about this beautiful woman. She seemed to radiate warmth like a golden light. In some ways, she reminded Pamima of her mother, although they bore no resemblance to each other. It was just a feeling. Maybe... maybe...
"P-please," Sailor Nocturnus continued after the pause that felt eternal to her but only lasted a few seconds to everyone else, "I was sent here. But I'm not sure what 'here' is. And I need to get back!"
[9:28:19 PM] Kyralih: Her mother? Neo Queen Serenity fought to remain open and warm, encouraging the girl to continue, even as her mind raced with the story only too familiar to her, her friends, and her Kingdom. Small Lady stepped forward, empathy with the visitor sending her to stand by her mother.
"'Here' is the very best place you could be!" the princess declared, her heart in her voice, her hand clutched at her chest. "There's nothing that the Sailor Senshi cannot do - we can help you and your mother - that I promise you!"
Neo Queen Serenity smiled, moving to place her hand on her daughter's shoulder supportively. "We can help you," she seconded, as Sailor Pluto moved forward once again to whisper something into Venus's ear, her garnet eyes focused on the slight senshi child before them.
[9:30:24 PM] Aurae (Alice): Sailor Nocturnus could not have imagined a kinder, gentler, or more helpful response to her plight. It felt so unreal, but about as unreal as everything else had seemed so far. Could they really help her mother? She could feel tears welling up in her eyes, but she did her best to blink them back.
[9:31:14 PM] Kyralih: "It'll be alright," Small Lady smiled, her eyes seeming to shine with unshed tears, "I promise."
[9:33:18 PM] Aurae (Alice): Sailor Nocturnus sniffled, wiping her eyes with the back of her glove, and bowed deeply to the group before her.
"T-thank you," she whispered, fighting back the urge to run crying into their collective arms.
[9:35:49 PM] Kyralih: Small Lady smiled brightly, then stood back, her bright pink eyes never leaving Sailor Nocturnus's.
[9:37:38 PM] Kyralih: “Thank you all for coming, and I hope everyone feels at home on Earth throughout their stay,” Neo Queen Serenity nodded her head graciously, offering a smile and a glance over to Sailor Uranus.
Uranus came forward, her expression serious as she made her address, “While staying on Earth you are expected to follow Earth’s rules –“
The sky suddenly shuddered, turning dark and brooding as thunder tore through the air, accosting their ears even before the sirens and alarms sprung to life all over the palace. In a split second the Solar System senshi converged on the royalty – the inner senshi moving to cover Neo Queen Serenity, the outers running for King Endymion and Small Lady. A voice boomed suddenly, as impressive and deep as the thunder that preceded it. “How wonderful to find you all here, in one convenient place… the Senshi who defeated Sailor Chaos, ripe for the taking! You shall all look /wonderful/ in my collection.” The voice trailed off thoughtfully, before the deep and frightening laughter swelled up to fill the silence that followed.
Though prepared for battle, the Sailor Senshi had no hope of fighting the attack that was launched at them. Their forms began to disintegrate, their beings turning to multicoloured glitter that raced skyward, as though being teleported in a different fashion, a fashion that Sailor Pluto could not control.
The Solar Sailor Senshi had been captured.
[9:38:49 PM] Kyralih: "The hell is going on?!" Sailor Enyalius demanded as the sky brightened, the mysterious force obviously gone.
[9:39:36 PM] Kyralih: Out of the castle raced three small forms - cats, by the look of them. As the normal citizens of earth fled, screaming in terror for the elevator, these cats started to yell, calling for order, and silence, and then, giving up, calling for help.
"Please! Please, visitors to Earth, you must help them!"
[9:39:42 PM] Aurae (Alice): Sailor Nocturnus screamed and fell back with shock when the attack struck, her small frame transfixed in terror as the benevolent group were taken.
[9:40:14 PM] Kyralih: "Please!" the black cat cried, her eyes streaming tears, "You have to save Neo Queen Serenity and her court!"
[9:43:01 PM] Kyralih: Setting her face in a determined scowl, Sailor Enyalius stepped forward, her Senshi Wings springing into being on her back. "I will help them."
[9:43:21 PM] Aurae (Alice): The plea did not fall on deaf ears. Sailor Nocturnus closed her eyes, trying not to think of the war that flashed in brilliant images through her mind. That would not help her now. She couldn't run forever.
The girl climbed to her feet and ran over to the cats.
"I... I don't know what I can do. But I will try!"
[9:44:46 PM] ☼Yumi/Saturn: Sailor Splash stood stunned. "I didn't touch anything this time, I swear!" She hollared. She was so used to bad things happening, and they were normally her fault. But she knew in her heart this was nothing she had caused. Something, or someone with incredible power was amongst the universe. "We must ban together, they need us." Sailor Splash ordered.
[9:45:10 PM] Aurae (Alice): She thought of those eyes that had looked at her with so much hope and love. Somehow... somehow Sailor Nocturnus would try to save them.
[9:52:09 PM] ☼Tiana Ballard: Achelois recognized that she would help them get the Senshi back but her first concern was the mass panic happening in the garden. Achelois knelt close to the ground and concentrated, releasing a calm wave of energy over the crowd. They people calmed down enought to exit the area without injury. SHe then focused on the problem at hand.
[9:54:00 PM] ☼Tiana Ballard: Achelois walked briskly over to where Enya was and gently wrapped her hand around her arm. "I want to help them too."
[9:54:34 PM] Kyralih: TO BE CONTINUED
