Phulan looked skepticaly at the two and then with a sigh and a shrug she said, "Okay, I'm naturaly curious.  I'll....accept that there is a quest we need to go on...and I'll even say I...accept that I'm a 'senshi'....but I won't say that I will go on this quest or not.  I don't feel obligated to go and though I may accept these things, it doesn't mean I believe it.  Just because some one says that the sky is Green, I'm not going to believe it till I see it.."  She tossed her long hair back with a hand as she looked over at Iviana.  "What about you?"

   Iviana looked at Gaia, then Juline, then finally at Phulan. She shrugged, crossing her long legs beneath her. "I guess I feel the same way. At least this gives me something to so." She said, not really saying what was on her mind, and not quite sure she really trusted anyone sitting around her. Plus there was Kia to think about.

   Juline nodded, "Phulan and Iviana both prove a point, accepting is possible, but believing is something else entirely," she looked to Gaia.
   "Alright then, allow me to solve that problem," she smirked, "Phulan, say 'Aria Mystos Power, Make-up.'  Iviana, do the same, but replace Mystos with Terren.  If that doesn't prove my point, then I don't know what will."

   Phulan raised an eybrow at this and shook her head "Okay, but sound's rather silly..." She sighed and looking up at the sky she said "Aria Mystos Power...Make-Up!"  Suddenly black and silver threads like that of a spiders start to wrap around Phulan, covering her completely.  Then they desolve off in a glittering light of silver blue, leaving a bewildered Sailor Mystos standing.  "Oh great...just great." She muttered as she turned to Gaia.
   "Alright...but I'm still not promising anything about this quest thing okay? I'm a loner and don't like going off on 'quests' and what not at the drop of a hat."

   Gaia laughed lightly, "Understandable, then again, who would want to anyway?  Putting your own life in danger.."
   "To save an entire planet.."  Juline said softly, looking at Sailor Mystos.  She looked to Gaia, "Are you a senshi?"
   "Oh, how amusing that would be.  Afraid I'm not, though.  I wouldn't be able to be a senshi with the attitude I have.."  Gaia said with a slight smirk.

   Iviana shook her head, watching the three, especially Gaia and Juline, with growing interest. She shrugged, mulling over the phrase in her head.
   "Aria Terren Power, Make Up!" Iviana yelled, and vines wrapped around her, then exploded off, leaving Sailor Terren in her place. Terren looked down, and frowned. "These Senshi couldn't have worn something a little less... uh... flashy?" She asked.

   Mystos look at Terren and smiled slightly "Yeah, good point..." She then turned towards Juline and Gaia "So we're supposed to save an ENTIRE planet? This planet? Didn't really know it was in danger...well now that's different.  How much are you paying us to go on this quest?  It sounds like a big job."  Mystos smiled even more at the thought of a big reward.

   Gaia burst out laughing at Mystos's question, as Juline blinked, "Paying..?  I never thought anyone would ask to be paid.. you'd become a big hero.. be famous..  I suppose if you want money, that can be arranged for you.."
   "Now that, was funny.."  Gaia chuckled, looking to Juline, "You must remember that not everyone is willing to risk their life for free," Juline sighed, then looked to the senshi.
   "Are you in..?"

   Mystos stood silent for awhile, her arms crossed over her chest.  "I don't care much for this hero thing or being famous...if word gets out about it...I would have to stop stealing.  But if I'm getting paid...yeah why not.  I'll tag a long for a bit." She then gave a non commital shrug and then turned her golden gaze upon Terren to see what she would say.

   Terren looked back at Mystos for a moment, then looked to Juline and Gaia. "I'm happy. I'm financially stable, so I don't really need any money. I have peace and quiet out here, and I have Kia. You want me to throw that away for a bit of fortune and glory?" She asked, raising a brow. Her voice didn't really show any anger or discomfort, but it did show a bit of amusement.

   "You won't have that if Kiley wins..."  Juline said softly, "He knows his goals and his powers.  He wishes to be the figure of power on Aria, and he'll take away everything to accomplish his own purpose.  Would you still say no, knowing that?"  Juline asked, looking to Terren.

   Gaia smirked, keeping quiet, *Maybe the girl knows what she's doing after all..*

   Terren smiled, lying down on her back and putting her hands behind her head. "Mmm.... IF. It's always If..." She laughed a little, then angled herself so she could see Juline. "Yea, count me in, on two conditions." Terre said.

   Mystos tossed her head back and laughed "Haha, told jya that it'll be hard to get Senshi's and Knight's to join."  She then looked at Terre and then to Juline with a smirk on her face as she wondered what the two conditions were.

   Juline blinked, then smiled politely, "Name them, then."

   "Kia comes with me. I'll find her somewhere to stay, and she won't be in the way, ever. You have my word. And.." Terren took a deep breath, "... I don't have to go near or into Sharnis if I don't want to." She looked at Juline, awaiting an answer.

   "You have yourself a deal, then," Juline smiled softly, "I'm glad you're both in.. words couldn't express my gratitude.."
   "Either way, sounds like I get to come along," Gaia smirked, "Otherwise you won't be able to tell senshi and knights apart from everyday civilians.."  Laughing lightly, she reached above her head to a tree branch, "But, don't expect me to be around all the time.."  She lifted herself into the tree, racing into another before finally disappearing from sight.
