Trigger followed behind Nyx, slinking into the clearing and taking his spot next to Nyx. He sat hunched over and tried not to be noticed, hoping he’d just disappear if he tried hard enough. He glanced around nervously, and his gaze happened to land on the light guardians in attendance. His stomach lurched. That was the light guardian that attacked him in the clearing, wasn’t it? The well-adjusted, smart, pretty one that was sure of herself and the complete opposite of him in every way imaginable? He had to stop himself from murmuring in fear and moved his gaze back to the ground as quickly as he could, lest she look up at him. This was horrible. It would be so awkward! But, on the other hand, maybe this was all for the best. Maybe he could just let her lead and sulk off to die somewhere unnoticed like he had originally planned.
But what if because I’m Crescent’s son, she wants me to lead? What if she’s just a normal warrior? Oh, god I hope she has some sort of authority of SOME KIND that I can- okay, no, focus. This isn’t the time to be thinking too hard about this….just focus on what’s going on… He told himself, but failed to do so, as he caught his gaze wandering back to the light guardian. Hoping he was going unnoticed, he glanced between her and Solare and that’s when he picked up on how similar she was to the leader physically. She had to be related to him somehow, and context stated that she was most likely his daughter. Trigger had always secretly hoped that maybe the light guardians’ leader’s children were under just as much pressure and were just as screwed up as him. This, however, was clearly not the case. Oh, god… he started to panic. She’s PERFECT. There’s no way I can hold up against her! And I’m going to disgrace Crescent and all the alliance and hell, probably every dark guardian that has ever lived! Oh my god oh my god, now I really DO have to kill myself!!!!
He managed to remain mostly outwardly calm, with only the occasional twitches, growing more and more frequent as he began to panic over the light guardian across the clearing. So much so that when Nyx leaned over to whisper to him, he only gave a distracted murmur. He only looked up when the leader of the fire guardians spoke.
“…If something were to go wrong they could all drown,"
Wait, what? Drown? his ears perked. He considered asking Nyx what he missed, but didn’t feeling like he should at least pretend he was paying attention. Who cares? This is even better! I don’t even have to wait for death! I can have a quick, painless one and just end my miserable little existence and never, ever have to deal with Crescent, or Rinn and Riyu or the fear of being captured, or slowly torn apart by that rogue, or trying to be as perfect as Solare’s daughter ever again! he started to let out a quiet, jittery laughter, which he tried to stifle in the interest of not looking completely psychotic. He glanced back at the light guardian. The pink water guardian next to her was staring at him with her head cocked. He quickly turned to face forward, but continued to smile a little.
((…that was LONG…..and fun xD))

(Lol! xD)
"I certainly wouldn't doubt it," Solare growled in reply to Crescent.
Riptide flattened his ears and said loudly, "Everyone, calm yourselves. We shouldn't let anything getting out of hand, especially here and now." He made sure everyone was quiet before he said in a strict, but less noisy manner, "Any of the chosen guardians with the element of water will help form the bubble and keep it's shape under the water. Guardians with the element of ice can freeze the water in shape when it's time for them to rest. And finally, guardians with the element of air could replenish the air in the bubble whenever it's needed." As he finished explaining his idea he looked to each of the guardians carefully, then asked, "So, is there anyone who believes I have left something out, or has any reason why this plan may not be the best course of action?"
Star was quiet, but her mind raced. She was excited, but terrified at the same time. She wasn't quite sure if she knew what she had gotten herself into, but at the time it had seemed like a great idea.
Ignis had no other ideas, but he certainly didn't want to risk loosing any of his kind. He thought hard to find any kind of flaw in the leader of the Torrent Accord's plan. "What of food and water?" he asked.
"Guardians with the element of water could easily purify the salty ocean water, and the chosen could carry their food in pouches," Riptide was quick to respond.
Ignis hesitated, then asked, "Why not just get guardians with the element of life to weave a raft for them?"
Riptide shook his head. "No, the waters are too choppy, and the guardians too heavy. Even if we were to make a raft capable of such a task, the guardians who weaved it would use much of their energy, and at that point we would be risking their lives," he said.
Ignis fell silent once he had finished, finally having run out of ideas.
(I wanted to write a bit more with Solare, but I'm falling asleep in my chair, so I'mma go to bed, now. xD)

Crescent's eyes drated over to Solare. "I would rip your head off if it weren't for your Daughter being here." He hissed licking his teeth before looking back at Ivy, not saying a word now, just listening to the rest of the conversation. Ivy on the other paw was watching him out of the cornor of her eye before she spoke.
"I suppose that would work, though I think they would get sick of being together and might just rip some guardians head." Her lips twitched holding back a smile. Crescent growled at her under his breath.
Meanwhile Aureus was watching the other guardians, sizing them up. She caught that dark guardian that was in the clearing, her jaw tightened. She leaned over towards her father and whispered something. "May I say something to the other leaders?"

Adele had stayed mostly quiet through the whole conversation, only speaking up at Crescent's comment.
"Maybe...don't lett his descend into violence?" She said meekly, though it was more of a suggestion.
Trigger was silently thinking about ways to sabotage the production and up-keep of the bubble.
Pinkberry watched the dark guardian curiously. She herself would be fine with or without the bubble, but she was worried about Aureus's safety. The purple guardian over there was clearly excited about the idea of drowning. Or maybe....She gasped quietly as a thought crossed her mind. That was a dark guardian over there....what if he was planning a way to kill Aureus?!
((....that was fun. Oh, Pinkberry. You adn your conspiracy theories. xDDD
also, is Glacier there yet or not? I'm confused. ._.))

Riptide looked troubled. He glanced over the chosen guardians, wondering if they'd even make it back without turning against each other. He didn't say anything as he did this, just quietly thought to himself.
Solare's fur rose in hatred and opened his mouth to throw a retort at Crescent, but stopped himself as he heard Adele. Instead he let his fur flatten and looked to Aureus as he heard her whisper to him. He glanced over the rest of the guardians and their leaders before nodding to her. "Go ahead," he whispered.
(Grrr.. Okay, ran out of time... BUT I GOT A LITTLE DONE!!)

Aureus smiled at her father's reply. "Thank you." She whispered before taking a little step forward. Her eyes ran over the crowd. "I do think that this 'bubble' idea is the best one we have, but even if it takes three days to fly, how long will it take to get there by walking underneath the water? Not only that but we, as the chosen, should have a say in the matter. I for one am sure my guardians can make it there, no mater the situations we find ourselves in, but I am worried about some of the others who have... lesser leaders to follow." She said glancing over at Trigger. "Perhaps we should go in waves? or mixed groupings that way we have strong leaders and guardians and weaker guardians mixed together?" Her smile was sly and clearly aimed towards Trigger.
Crescent's jaw clenched as she spoke, it took all his might to not go attack her, but as per usual this tactic failed. He jumped at her. "TAKE THAT BACK!" He hissed in her face as she was pinned to the ground. "WE ARE JUST AS STRONG AS ANY OF YOU!"
All Aureus could do was laugh. "Then why are you sending that?" She laughed while jerking her head towards Trigger. This was the side of her that rarely every showed, it was the defensive side. It was nasty, but she really did not like the dark guardian.
"I am better than this, and so is he! We will show you I promise." Crescent jumped off of her and meandered back to his son's side.
((lol this is really occ... xD and random not really confident in it... so i might change it))

(Glacier doesn't matter yet, he'll come in on his own later, right before they're about to head out.
Also- Don't really have much time right now, so I didn't read kat's thread yet, but I'll try to later.)

((lol okay! ....wait, kat has a thread?  )) Trigger ducked to look at the ground and flattened his ears. Upon realizing that he was still smiling, he swallowed and forced himself to knock it off. He flinched when Aureus grinned at him. he gasped and felt his face turn hot when Crescent leapt at her. Trigger gave a little sigh at her next comment. Oh, god she's right. I've beeen wondering that myself... He averted his gaze as his father returned to where he was sitting. |

Solare was about to tackle Crescent off of Aureus when he heard Riptide shout, "Control yourselves! There will be no fighting on my territory!" He was slightly surprised by the strict tone in the normally friendly leader of water guardians, but didn't show it and quickly approached his daughter once Crescent had leapt away. "Are you hurt?" he whispered to her, but kept his eyes on the leader of the dark guardians.
Riptide glanced over the guardians in the clearing before sighing. "Although it could have done without the mockery, she is right. If we want our chosen to return safely home then they should have a say. Not only that, but perhaps we should send send them in groups; just not for that reason. I trust the decisions made when choosing which guardians to send. However, obviously I would hope that they'd refrain from attacking each other, but Crescent has shown me that I can't simply hope for peace and it will become reality. We need our chosen guardians to keep the peace on this journey, no matter what. Any less could lead to their demise."
Ignis frowned and thought to himself quietly before looking to the two he had chosen to go. Commonsense was telling him to argue the idea, but his pride told him otherwise. Finally, he turned back to the other guardian leaders and said, "I believe Riptide is right. We should keep the peace, but I don't think that would be the right approach."
"And you have a better approach?" Solare questioned the flame guardian. He had liked the idea of the groups, even if he knew the flame guardians would require assistance. They seemed fine with receiving help from water guardians ever since they lost the old war, so he hadn't thought much of it.
Ignis glared, but replied, "Yes. All we need is some kind of peacekeeper."
Solare almost laughed, but tried to muffle it. "Peacekeeper?" he asked in disbelief.
"That sounds like a good idea, Ignis, but I'm afraid it would be rather hard to find someone able and willing to hold that title," was Riptide's optimistic reply.
Star was quick to shout, "Oh! Oh! Me! Pick me!" but Riptide shook his head.
"No, I think it would be best if the 'Peacekeeper' wasn't a part of the war," he said.
Star sunk back down and let out an, "Aw..."
Meanwhile Rose padded quickly through the underbrush, Glacier following close behind. "Rose, just where do you think you're taking me? If we waste our time too long then we won't get any early morning prey," Glacier said, frustrated. "I overheard some war guardians--" she was cut off as Glacier shouted, "War guardians?! What were you doing in--" Rose was quick to return the favor by cutting her brother off. "That's besides the point! I heard that the leaders are meeting up at the lake to send some of their guardians to some weird new place across the ocean, and Trigger's one of them!" she said. Glacier stopped completely. "Trigger? That's what this is about? Just because you somehow made friends with him doesn't mean you have to--" again, Glacier was cut off. "Shh! You hear that?" Rose asked, her ears perked. "I think I hear them. Come on, this way!" she said excitedly, rushing off through the brush. "Hey, hold up! We can't interfere!" he said, then noticed her stopped at the edge of the clearing, hidden behind a tree and nearby bush, watching. "Hey, I see Trigger!" Rose whispered, flicking her tail in the dark guardian's direction. Glacier sighed quietly and stealthily hid himself amongst the branches of the same tree Rose was hiding behind.
(Longest. Post. Ever. ._.

The light guardian turned to her father. "I am perfectly fine. He wouldn't have done anything anyway." She whispered in reply to his question with an edge in her tone. She didnt say much for the rest of the time until the pause for a peacekeeper. "I do agree with this father." She whispered to him.
Crescent on the other hand didnt enjoy this idea at all. After all, his game plan included having Trigger lead an attack on the others... but that was a long shot.

((GOH SHIT I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT WAS MY TURN xD))
Trigger wsayed quiet, his shoulders hunched while there was talk of a peacekeeper. He didn't like the idea of having a position like that anyway. He relaxed slightly when it was said it should be someone ]not in the war.
Pinkberry had been about to volunteer until Star did and was rejected, so instead kept her mouth shut. In all fairness, she probably wouldn't have madea good one anyway.
"How do we choose who should be the peacekeeper then?" Adele asked calmly.
((....that was really lame. xD))
