Persephone was both excited and terrified. She had sent out text messages with a meeting spot - a warehouse, mostly empty but for a few crates, and unused (she'd scouted for several days beforehand) - and a time. It was finally time for her to bring her team together, after months of recruitment and hoping and praying. It was larger than she'd thought, but that was welcome; the more the merrier, right?
She liked to hope that everything would go as she'd intended. They'd all become one big family, helping each other and supporting each other through the dangers of this stupid war.
That, and she prayed that this would be the thing she was searching for - something to tie her to the White Moon, to stop the ever-growing feeling she had that Chaos would be better, would leave her stronger and more secure and better able to protect the people she cared about, which was all she wanted.
She glanced at her senshiphone.
It was almost time. The others would be arriving soon.
She took a seat on an overturned crate, and waited.

Since everyone's invitation RPs are at least started, I figured I'd get moving on the actual team meeting and such! This thread will be open for a week, at which point I'll be wrapping it and starting a second one for the disaster portion of the plot! If you don't get a post in here before then, that's fine, hop into part 2; if you do, that's cool too!

"What happened to 'stick together?' " Dionysus mumbled flatly as he appeared. "I thought you were suppose to keep an eye on me. Some mentor." He teased, crossing his arms. Pink eyes glanced at the phone in her hands. "....Do you think everyone will come??" He had come because as far as he was concerned they, he and Persephone atleast, were a team. And Dionysus always came running when Persephone called. ...Even if he used most of their time together to goof off and tease her about almost anything.

Warehouses – a large industrial storage facility, used to house who knows what in various crates or shelving units.
Sidouer took in a deep breath standing just outside the fire rated heavy metal door and closed her eyes in an attempt to sense if anyone else was here. Realizing that there was at least two other people in the immediate vicinity, besides herself, she opened her eyes and placed her hand on the door handle.
Why so apprehensive? Despite having attended a training gathering with Maia shortly after awakening in a similar setting, Sidouer was much more of an outdoors person. That way, gods forbid they get found out and something did happened there would be more room to maneuver around. Stepping inside just felt like she was giving up some cherished freedom. To be boxed in… Trapped.
Pushing down on the lever handle Sidouer opened the solid metal door and stepped inside “Hello?” She called out waiting for a reply before stepping further into the cool dimly lit building.

The message had come at just the right time.
Just when Aludra was beginning to wonder if being a Senshi was actually a really horrible business, Persephone had finally contacted her and reminded her that there was something to look forward to. A team. She could have wept she was so excited.
There were two- no three already here, she noted as came to a halt outside the warehouse. She was proud that she could even tell. It had taken her longer than necessary to learn the fine art of actually checking who was around before you went running in.
Ah, right there, another senshi who looked as though she had also just arrived. She hurried over the older girl prepared to enter the building. "Hello," she called, "hold the door please."

Turning around at the sound of a young girls voice, Sidouer spotted a little green haired senshi running towards her clad in a red-ridding-hood-esk looking fuku. Reaching out to catch the door before it clicked shut, with a welcoming smile on her face she held it open for the new arrival.
If memory served her right after her encounter with Chibi Sailor Goretti, if Sidouer had to wager a guess, she'd assume that the girl must be a Chibi Senshi as well. What she was a senshi of, she hadn't a clue, but hopefully by the end of the meeting all would be figured out. "Hi," she responded when the green haired sailor got closer "are you here for the meeting with Persephone too?" she inquired with a friendly smile.

Sailor Biela had been waiting waiting waiting waiting WAITING for the final message about meeting times and introductions-
And it was finally here. The promised day! She'd shot out the window and down the rain spout as soon as her dad had gone off to work, transforming as soon as she made it to the end of the block and running the whole count of blocks and districts, leaping buses and surfing a semi to get there on time. She whooped excitedly as soon as the right place came into view, with a few other bright fuku stealing inside. They were gonna be her FAMILY. And family was AWESOME.
It was more AWESOME than pokemon. It made her feel like she could punch out a boxer in a boxing match while wearing cement shoes and talking like al capone....or something. Either way, she jogged breatheless and bold as brass to the door, the senshi there, the senshi inside and her soon to be family.
Her eyes got huge looking them all over. O.M.G. Look at her white hair! And her red hood! She's so ....ohh...I wish I had a hood! Are those GRAPES? LIKE EDIBLE UNIFORM!!
She proclaimed loudly, hopping up and down with uncontainable energy, "You're all so pretty! This is gonna be so monkey! "

She stopped at the doorway, also resting a hand against the door and said a breathless, "thank you." Staring up at the older senshi, Aludra couldn't help but smile. This was one her team-mates. Eventually they would be as close as family, watching out for each other. It filled her with hope.
"Yes, I am." She replied proudly. "My name is Sailor Aludra. It's nice to meet you." The chibi peeked past the senshi, into the dark space of the warehouse and then stepped completely inside, looking for where she sensed Persephone and another unknown to be waiting.
Then there was another, saying something about... a monkey? Aludra smiled back at her anyway and did a small curtsy. "You are also very pretty."

She CURTSIED.
Biela staaaaaaaaared for a hot minute, flabbergasted, then cupped her hands over her mouth, "Like a perfect little dooooooollllllllllllllllllll."
"You're gonna be the best sister ever." She threw out her hand, and it would have been an offer to shake it if Micky had an ounce of public decorum at any point (but she didn't), and instead of waiting for Aludra to decide to take her hand or not she TOOK the poor girls hand. Shaking vigorously, "I'm Sailor Biela. We're going to be friends."
Because that was a foregone conclusion, right? She looked at the other beautiful sailor expectantly, letting Aludra have her hand back. Then held it out to Sidouer, too (with maybe only moments before she just laid claim to the older senshi's hand as well) "What's your name?"

Dionysus stared. Long and hard. Oh good god... ".....Yes..." He said slowly, his eyes moving from the hyperactive ball of spaz to Persephone, and at that point his gaze turned into a glare. 'You didn't tell me I signed up for this.' It read. "No, I don't think they are edible." He replied hopping on a crate to put just a bit of distance between them.

Sirius had agreed to help Persephone with the team thing. So far she wasn't impressed. She had arrived and waited outside, a little way from the warehouse to get a rough idea of who was going in. Firstly the girl had picked a warehouse. Of all places? At least it wasn't a church, Sirius was never going to a team meeting in a church again - ever.
However the first to arrive were chibis. Sirius had a thing about chibis, she strongly believed they should never have been included in a war. What use was a 9 year old kid anyway? Then again she assumed someone had to take care of them.
So that was the first two issues she had with the team, but she had agreed to help and well she had little else to do then to hang around with nega's that she shouldn't have been hanging around with.
The super senshi took a deep breath, checked the area again and headed towards the warehouse. She really didn't like the idea of team meetings indoors anymore, at least a warehouse was bigger then a church.

It felt good to get out again. After the past several days she spent tending to her normal responsibilities, from cleaning the stove to studying for upcoming tests, Leda was more than happy to power up and take to the streets for a peculiar invitation. She thought it strange that someone would invite her to be a part of their senshi team so readily, so soon after meeting her, but she figured that Persephone wouldn't do it if she thought Leda was unfit for the team. Which meant, Persephone must've thought something of her. Which meant, she left a good impression.
She liked leaving good impressions.
But what about the rest of the group? How many people were there going to be? Would she disappoint them all by being just a super senshi, or would they all look up to her or regard her as the failure amongst peers? Was she going to suddenly be elected to run the team? She shivered at the thought, and let out a low hum. She didn't like the sound of that. Leda the Leader wouldn't work out. She was too meek. Persephone was the one that sought her out - hopefully she would lead.
The Steam Senshi arrived at the selected location far faster than she would've liked - if she hadn't spent the majority of the trip ruminating on tangential circumstances and making faulty assumptions, she could've enjoyed the journey to the warehouse. And as she looked behind her, at the plethora of buildings crossed and trees ducked under, she sighed. She thought she was going to break this habit when she went super senshi, as it did her little good to block out her surroundings, but that seemed an uphill battle.
Maybe a team would fix that - maybe they could provide hints and tips to keep her head out of the clouds while she was on patrol. Or maybe they'd just make fun of her. Or maybe they would have other activities planned and none of them included helping Leda.
She sighed. Ruminating again.
On my way! she texted back, just before she pushed on the old wooden doors to the warehouse. They gave easily enough, and allowed her into a dimly lit environment with few trip hazards. Inwardly she figured she would find them all, somehow, or just trip on her own two feet while she navigated the space. However, her eyes adjusted in due time, and she found it relatively easy to locate the senshi whose signature she'd sensed for quite some time now: Persephone. She looked pensive, but Leda hoped that her attendance might brighten her up a bit.
She was such a nice senshi anyway. "Hi!" She greeted warmly, accentuating the short greeting with an equally warm smile. After smoothing out the folds of her skirt, Leda approached one of the crates haphazardly stacked near the Pomegranate Senshi and took a seat as uneventfully as she could manage.
She didn't fall off. She didn't trip halfway through sitting down. It was a good day. It looks like the others took little notice of her small successes, which was also a good thing. They seemed excited and lively enough. Maybe this team would really take off!
"This is gonna be like, so exciting!" She whispered in her most enthusiastic tone possible. The warehouse was so quiet - she felt she had to maintain that silence somehow.

Persephone lit up, more and more as more people poured in. First Dionysus, then Sidouer, Aludra, Biela, Sirius, Leda. Almost everyone was here; only Sisyphus and Alexandra were missing, but she was sure they would be along soon. She kicked her feet against the crate, trying not to hum with delight (that would have been a little childish and silly.) After a few moments, unable to contain herself, she bounced off.
"I'm so glad all of you could make it!" She said, clapping a little. "We're still waiting on a few more, but - oh god I'm just glad you guys made it."
It was reassuring, really, that none of them had been injured or killed or taken by Chaos, and she could have hugged every one of them in delight.
Dionysus specifically got a sly little smile from the emerald-haired girl and a quiet, murmured "oh but Biela is such a delight."
She was nearly the shortest there, and she knew it, but she supposed she would still have to step up and pretend to be a leader for a while. It wasn't exactly her strong suit, but she had brought them all together, and so she would take responsibility for them.
"Uhm, anyway, once everyone is here we'll start, okay?"
Biela was distracted by the motion and words from the Lady-Of-The-Hour, that fine senshi that had invited the young Senshi to the prospective team in the first place. She listened attentively, the vigorous shake of Sidouer's hand slowing and then finally leaving off. Biela 'whispered' behind one of her own hands to the two she'd already been fawning over, Sidouer and Aludra, "Isn't she gorgeous??? I mean...Persephone's got more moving parts than a steam calliope, ya know? "
Biela apparently had two volumes- loud and 'secret' loud. And then she was grinning and waving her whole arm, pivoting it like a wing at the shoulder at the Senshi of Pomegranates, "PER-SE-PHO-NE!! "
But trotting over, she was distracted by the shine of...grapes again. And started sidling step by step nearer to the boy while still looking directly at Persephone. Micky was .... a 'master' at subterfuge. "Do we get a cat? Is one of the peeps still coming ones a cat?"

Aludra could not remember ever having been referred to as a doll before but she quite liked it and was tempted to curtsy again but her hand was abruptly captured (a fact she didn't mind one bit) and she smiled brightly back at the older girl. "I’m sure we will be, Big Sister Beila."
Then her hand was her won again and even more were arriving. She stepped back, further into the warehouse. "Oh yes," she agreed when Beila turned to them again, with her very loud whisper, "she’s very lovely." Aludra was already feeling loved and at home among the group and she sighed happily.
Time to begin.
Aludra hurried over and perched herself neatly on one of the crates, giving a broad smile to the only other Chibi in the room. Then she focused on their illustrious leader, waiting patiently.

I'm already missing Biela. She's fantastic. xD

People. There were entirely too many people milling around when Alexandria showed up and edged his way along the walls of the warehouse to where Persephone stood.
Sweating slightly and trying to not hyperventilate, the Page crept up close enough to where Persephone was and hissed at her.
"You didn't tell me there would be so many people here!"
Just trying to look at them all made him feel slightly ill. Strangers. They were all strangers and this had been a bad idea. Closing his eyes, Alexandria took several steps back until his back touched a wall. No matter how useful he wanted to feel and be, he'd never signed up to be thrust amongst strangers.
