I apologize but I'm going to have to bow out of this RP. I have my exams early next week and being in a fast-paced RP like this isn't going to be suitable for me until the exams are over. Hope the RP goes well. ^^

I'm gonna have to opt-out as well, I have to commune with my family, and I won't be able to respond to the thread in time. It's all up to you now!

Aw,    I hate to see you guys go, but real life is real life and is much more important than silly RP's XD

But! If you find some free time before the event is over, you can always come back! 

If you'd like a convenient opt-out point for the RP, you could say your characters decide to go back to Earth as backup, to help the cats protect it while the solar senshi are away. Then, if you want back in, you can say you followed your hearts (the glitter would be gone) and found the bad guy's place, arriving to help defeat whatever challenge we're facing when you can continue to RP ^^

Actually I found some time to wedge in this RP for brownie points. Be on the look out for some flight music.

I wanted to also give out the opportunity for your OC's to learn about mine. Remember, only five questions will be answered.

Re: Their Speed and the Oort Cloud: 

They're traveling several thousand kilometers per second... space is huge. The distance between Earth and the Oort Cloud is around 750 million km (almost a light year) - if they were to slow down to just a kilometer per second, even, it would take them 23 years to reach the Oort cloud; I mentioned slowing down to help with easing around the planetismals -- ^^' and I see I forgot that not everyone knows what the Oort Cloud is.  ^^' sorry about that, that's totally my bad x_x

The Oort Cloud is a rocky region surrounding the Solar System, signifying pretty much waning strength of the Sun's gravitational field - it's like a giant asteroid belt, but rather than being just a 2D or single-plane looking belt (it's more like a doughnut, but whatever), it's an entire hollow sphere of planetesimal  (read: rocky) debris. The "Cloud" comes from how it looks on a map, but doesn't actually have gas, rain, or plasma in it:


((We had just passed over Neptune's Orbit))

While I had Enyalius guiding them up and out of the Sun's planetary plane, to miss both the challenges of the Asteroid Belt and the Kuiper Belt, there's no way around the Oort Cloud as it is three dimensional. 

The width of the Oort Cloud is around 95000 AU - or, around 14250 million kilometers. "Slowing down" would go from travelling several times the speed of light* (light travels 300 million kilometers per second) to going only a handful times the speed of light - still incredibly ridiculously fast. ((* - I think this still fits within the Sailor Moon Universe as Eternal Sailor Moon, Sailor Kakyuu, and the Star Lights traveled from Earth to the galactic center in seemingly a short period of time - that's 27000 lightyears, or around 257 trillion kilometers, in just a little while, suggesting a speed of at least several hundred times the speed of light.))

To make Arch's offer work, I suggest a change from "5 kilometers before we hit the cloud" to a number of seconds, if possible?

Hey Sailor Uranus, were you referring to me in the ""What's your name, and what can you offer?""


Also, those diagrams... holy sailor poop

XD The astrophysicist in me cannot help but keep things astronomically (and -physically, with the maneuver business) accurate. o_o you know, after giving allowances to flying through space with wings. I'm treating wings similar to Photons - they create the medium they travel through as they travel through it xD

She was looking to Bellatrix at first, but then it opened to everyone to answer. ^^

oh my goodness, that explanation helped me to understand this so much better!  I had no idea that the Oort cloud looked like that or that it was that vast! Thanks for letting us know how fast we are traveling and what not, that post was super helpful!

XD Happy to spread space facts! =D Prepare for others sprinkled throughout the RP! ♥ XD

*squeals unabashedly in an influx of Nocturnus and Small Lady feels =3*

I am all about the Nocturnus/Small Lady feels. FEEL THEM. XD

As soon as I was reminded of the laws of physics, my post suddenly came to me in a flash. I apologize in advance for the senshi pileup that may have caused. XD

 The rock she’d chained herself to—the irony was not lost on her—was keeping them both in place just fine. 

  

I did not realize said irony until I typed the beginning of that sentence, but then it became obvious that my character would've.  :bunnykonataeye 

And what are the odds to think you'd have the opportunity to chain her to a rock in-game?   

I did not think it would come up at all xD

It has been literally years since I have drawn anything, but in an awkward attempt to pick it up again, I drew Sailor Nocturnus...   

Image Below:

Oh wow, she's adorable and so pretty!!!

I would love to see a group image of everyone xD

I'm actually considering it, Mercury, but I haven't drawn on a regular basis since probably 2007? I've been totally off-and-on for years since then. I don't want to commit to anything; I know that my drive to stick with large drawing projects is very low.

Wow! That's really good!

That's understandable, and definitely do whatever you choose to do because you enjoy it. It's gorgeous though!

She's sooo pretty, Aurae!! I really love how her colors work so well together, too <3 <3

I don't know what to add on to the RP. Have we cleared the Oort Cloud?

We have not; we'll be leaving as soon as everyone (or most everyone) regroups and are ready to go!

Maxis, perhaps have Arch or Rayden elaborate on or dismiss the vital sign reading? (If something is there, perhaps it is a weak chaos shadow? Though fighting would be a little tough, we could use this to send Sailor Metallon's back to Earth to provide some senshi defense, giving here an exit ^^(rather than just disappearing))

Activity Check: Calling Sailor Splash and Sailor Solar Eclipse, please respond to the thread within the next day; for now your characters will be treated as NPC's to keep the RP going!

Did you mean Lunar Eclipse? I just posted as Solar Eclipse (and Bellatrix) not too long ago o.o!

   Gah! XD That's totally my bad! Sailor Solar Eclipse! Pretty fairies, messin' with my head XD


  BTW: Maxis, if Arch has another "Go team!" speech in him, now'd be a good time to rally XD ((Enya might be a little realistically doom-and-gloom right now, lol))

Give me until noon CDT, I'll drive them to victory!

*weeps happily at the bravery of the sailor solders*  

 I'm loving everyone's responses!! gaah. So proud!
