[01] First Temple

[humandivinity.livejournal.com]

...I want to thank the person who came up with an easy way to learn about this place. That was very helpful.

I wanted to ask if anyone had seen anyone calling themselves a Saint of Athena. Or if you are one, please answer this message.

It isn’t just those of my world I wish to speak to. Anyone who can tell me anything further I’d like to talk. Some of the information on the message is very troubling. Particularly, the mention of experiments. I want to know more about them and if you know any reason why they’re happening. Besides that we seem selected for a ‘machine’.

My name is, [There’s a pause as Sasha has to think about what name she should be using. It doesn’t last long.] Athena. Thank you for your time.

[There is no mistaking that Cosmo. None. It's like a beacon that Mu can't help but be drawn to, and when he arrives (breathing heavily because he'd come running), he stares.

It's Athena.

It is not Saori, he notices, but it's Athena.]

[lamb_of_gold]

A..thena?

[Yes. Athena. And the more he feels of her, the more evident it becomes. Slowly, he kneels in front of her, moving his gaze to somewhere between his feet and hers and schooling his face into something far calmer than he feels.]

3/I think I'm done?

[lamb_of_gold]

Mu of Aries is here, my Lady.

hahaha Poor guy this is like a brick in the face from no where.

[humandivinity.livejournal.com]

[He's not the Aries she's expecting but Sasha still dips her head to him, acknowledging he's there. She can't let herself be shocked, he needs to know that she's here to help however she can.]

Hello, Mu. How long have in this place? [She's wounded, but still as proud of a war goddess as she can be. The injuries can be tended to once she knows what they're up against.]

And how many of us are here?

a whole sack of them.

[lamb_of_gold]

I've been coming and going from here for close to four years, which is longer than any other person here.

[Yikes.]

By 'us' do you mean all the people here, or only those within the Sainthood?

[He looks up as he asks that, and only then does he notice that she's hurt.]

My Lady, you...[BE POLITE....]...Would you permit me to look at your wounds?

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

[Shion knows that cosmo, and he knows that voice. He barely manages not to drop the helmet he's holding when he senses it. This is his Athena, the one he last saw in the midst of battle, the one he didn't think he would see again. He makes his way towards her, unsure emotions swirling in him. When he reaches her, he kneels, the robes of the Holy Father swirling around him.]

My Lady, I am..[For a moment he can't seem to speak, unsure of what to say] ..I am here.

[humandivinity.livejournal.com]

[There's relief in her face that Shion took up the role of Pope as she commanded. Sasha kneels with him, so she can see his face.]

I'm glad to see you again, Shion. ...tell me, did everything turn out alright? [Did we succeed?]

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

[He starts when she kneels but at least he can smile a little as he says] The world is safe, my Lady. Everything turned out fine. [Or at least as well as it could. He looks at her more closely then] And you, my Lady? Are you...all right?

[humandivinity.livejournal.com]

[She looks better than she did earlier. Her smile is tired but real when she nods.] I'm alright. Mu informed me who among the Saints are here.

It's a lot to take in.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[That cosmo is familiar to Shun. He can't help going towards it. It is Athena, he can tell that much. He pauses for a moment once he get nears her.]

...Saori? [But even as he says the name it feels wrong to him. She looks similar but she feels different from his Athena]

[humandivinity.livejournal.com]

[She turns to face Shun and pauses, but only for a moment. He's a Saint regardless of whether she knows him or not. But that name isn't hers.]

No, my name is Sasha. [For a Bronze Saint, he's strong...like Tenma.]

Can I have your name, Bronze Saint of Andromeda.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Oh, ah, I'm sorry. [He smiles then, a small one] I'm Shun. [He looks closer at Sasha] You must be from a different time than me.

[humandivinity.livejournal.com]

It's alright. [She smiles back at him and steps closer.] I believe I am, Shun. In my time, the Andromeda cloth hasn't been claimed by a Saint and Shion was the Aries Saint.

['She is here...' Hiding in the dark... his heart pounding at her presence everytime he's near her...

... She's definitely here. No mistaking.

Saga can't help but feel worry for his Goddess... because it meant she would be in danger by coming to this place.]

[sosweet]

[Even so... he is willing to sacrifice his life t protect her. From any evil warrior, from any evil God or Goddess... from this evil Plane...

He appears before her and kneels with his head down.] My Lady. [His voice is calm and solid despite the wrench in his heart.] Saga, Gold Saint of Gemini... is here.

[humandivinity.livejournal.com]

[Another from a different time and one that feels...some what like the one she knew. Sasha steps forward to peer down at him.] Thank you, Saga. ...I'm Sasha, from the time of Aries Shion. I'm glad to see all of my saints, old and new.

How long have you been here?

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

I have! I've met one person!

Ne, is your name really Athena?

[Here, have a seven year old.]

[humandivinity.livejournal.com]

[And have a smile as she kneels down to get a better look at him.] Yes, that's my name. What's yours?

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

I'm Edogawa Conan! Did you find your friends, Athena-san?

Ne, you're asking questions 'cause it's your first time to visit here, right?

[jokerofthelord.livejournal.com]

Athena~~! It's a pleasure to meet you!

[Annnd have an other 'god' sliding in front of you, beautiful lady, smoothly as a snake. Gabriel is raising an eyebrow in a seductive matter as he gently takes her hand to lay a kiss on her fingers.] More polite than last we met. Could it be because you are from a completely different world than me? Oh, boy, this will be fun!

[humandivinity.livejournal.com]

[She takes a step back at this surprise but doesn't pull away. Sasha isn't sure who he is but she can feel the sense of power off of him. But her brows draw down at his statement.]

And that could change. Please let go and tell me who you are.

[jokerofthelord.livejournal.com]

Uptight, aren't we? At least some things are still the same. [Gabriel snickers and lets her hand go, taking a step back, just so she can take his whole figure in, just in case. Then he spreads his arms.]

I'm Loki, my dear goddess. Annnd I might happen to know a few of your, what did you call 'em? Saints? Yep, all in their shiny, feminine glory. At least one of them for sure. We were drinking together once.

[dissedthesonic.livejournal.com]

[after a moment, he approaches her a bit hesitantly] Erm, what sort of things did you want to know about the experiments? [he has a feeling he might be under one himself right at the mo'. his memory is riddled with gaps, even the ones from his other life as a centurion] But can I ask, are you...really the goddess Athena? The same one born from Zeus' forehead and all?

[humandivinity.livejournal.com]

Anything you can tell me, the more I know, the more I see where I can help. [She nods at his question and shifts so she's standing just a little straighter.] Reincarnated as a human, but yes.

[dissedthesonic.livejournal.com]

Right... [he just...nods and decides, why not? he was bound to run across a reincarnated god at some point, wasn't he?]

Well, uh, Athena, from what I've heard about the experiments around here... [he trails off, trying to phrase it in a way that might not upset her but doesn't sugarcoat things either] They can sort of hit you without you noticing. You might come here just fine and something happens, or it can strike when you're at home. It can be anything, as well. Don't know why they're happening--someone probably does or at least has an inkling--but we're not in the know about their purpose. We're just the test subjects.
