With so many beasts and costumed people arriving, Mara was finding herself a little... crowded so to speak. That wasn't to say that she wasn't used to such company, but with them all in costume, it felt as though she were in the middle of a convention or an actual party of sorts. Though, the new person that was rather plant-like set her off the most. Though it was a guy, he seemed all too much like a certain someone she was growing to despise. "And you are?" Mara asked, an eyebrow raised. "I've never seen you around here before..."
"I don't take lightly to people flatout ignoring me, woman. I still exi-"
"Oh you shut up, Tenshi!" Mara snapped at her, whacking the grey-haired man outside the head. There was a flash of light and smoke, and Tenshi stumbled out of it, back in her usual attire, and the voice modifier on her throat dislodged. " Even when you are trying to be swathe, you are still a brat."
"Hey! It took me a long time to make that awesome costume!" Tenshi snapped back, fuming. "Don't just ruin the fun for me! If the bears here can get away with costumes, then why can't I? And who the hell is the walking weed factory?" She said, pointing at the newcomer.

The towering collection of rugged vines gazed down at Mara, and a wide toothless smile spread across his face. He spoke, and his deep rumbling voice was heard throughout the halls of the UCA.
"I AM GROOT!"

Mara just started chuckling nervously at the Groot line. What the hell was a Groot? She had no idea... but atleast it wasn't like Yuuka. deciding to turn her attention away from the walking bark monster and the attention whore of a Celestial, she decided the best course of action was to deal with the other newcomers. "Well, I'm afraid I don't know what those costumes you are wearing are supposed to represent, but Masser's is just adorable." She said, finding it hard not to be blunt. It was true, she couldn't look at the blue bear monster's attempt at a costume without finding it rather cute.
"HEEEEY!" Tenshi shouted, stamping her foot. "That's not fair! Why do THEY get praise for their costumes, and I just get stepped all over?"
"Because, nobody has the time or patience to deal with you." Shikieiki sighed, setting the Celestial off on another fuming rant. She ignored it, and instead turned her attention to Minos in her costume. "It's been a long time since we last met, Minos... I hope there are no hard feelings between us."
All she got back, was a low growl from the white masked being. There was still plenty of rage in Minos's soul toward the Enma, rage that would never subside, but that could wait for another time. A fight here and now would be... unproductive.

"Another great costume!" Alex cried as he grinned at the Groot lookalike. "Vesica better have some game when she gets back, or I'll make her go change again."
Sam shook her head. "Shepherd, it's a wonder that the people here put up with you. I wouldn't be coming back if I was that girl..."
Dark Helmalex opened his mouth to shoot off a snide reply, but a loud set of slow, shuffling footsteps interrupted him. A tall, furry shape rounded the nearest corner wearing a massive brown halo cratered with curled black pits. Photon, his ears lain flat against his skull and his arms completely immobile, walked sullenly forward and stood next to Masser, apparently forced into a costume by his... "food enthusiast" ally and friend.
The Cookie Masser now had her cookie.

The Cookie Masser's reaction to seeing "Cookieton" was to elevate her massive arms as if to give one of her monstrous hugs. Thankfully, her mother - who was completely baffled at how her humorous thought turned out to be true - raised her own arm and wrapped it around her daughter to pull her back gently, leaving the glutton's feet sliding on the ground. Masser understood the message and settled with merely patting her friend on the head, causing his eyes to stop bulging in horror.
While RoKit offered one of her bows to Photon, honored to finally meet him, Bergunth seemed to present a small pout, his spiked brow narrowing slightly. A protective instinct called to him, but as he observed the two, he concluded that if Photon was the cookie and Masser was the eater, his sister was not the one who needed protection after all. His traits softened and he followed his mother's example in nodding a humble greeting.

"Now that is just sweet... a cookie monster with a cookie. So sweet infact, I could BARF at it." Tenshi sneered, only to get a whack outside the head from Minos, who growled at her. Insulting someone's costume, especially around a protective mother, was a horrible idea...
"I do wonder... where do most of you get your costume ideas from?" Mara asked as she looked to the Enma for an answer. All she got was a shake of the head...

Alex put an arm around Sam, which elicited a fierce scowl from the woman, while jerking a thumb towards Plume and Sid. He grinned broadly before he spoke. "Film!"
Now a somewhat accusing finger pointed towards Oscar. "And Mr. Rebel over there is from TV."
"Oy, there are movies too."
"Yeah, but the show came first."
"Now, we can't go forgetting about literature, can we?" asked a new voice that seemed to echo from all directions. A scarlet figure dressed in black robes with red trim materialized besides Alex in a burst of sulfur and lightning, causing the human to jump with a shrill yelp. The cloaked figure laughed before ducking under a wild swing from Oscar, dodging several quick jabs from Sam, then dancing away from the group with a boyish giggle.
"You!" the pilot raged. He made a grab for the newcomer but Sam stopped him by placing a hand on his chest. She cut her eyes at the walls. The UCA was watching.
"Come now," chided Dar as he tapped on the glasses that sat on his thin nose, just under a patchy, crudely painted lightning bolt scar in the center of his forehead. "You wouldn't hit a person wearing glasses, would you?" The demon chuckled before turning to the rest of the group and taking a deep bow. "Hello, all! Just call me, "Darry Potter!'"
"But you're not a person," growled Sam with glaring eyes. "Are you?"
"Or a Gryffindor, for that matter," muttered Alex.
"Well, that's true. I'm Ravenclaw according to that internet of yours, but why break away from the character, hm?"

Still standing well away from the gathering group, the handsome Celestial smiled from across the hall, attempting to catch Tenshi's eye.
******
There was movement in the shadows underneath one of the monsters. A familiar figure appeared moments later, looking up at all the new costumed beings that had arrived. She instinctively shrank back under the shadows.
"Why is everyone gathering here?" Vesica groaned under her breath. "It's the middle of a hallway, not a party room."
Taking a moment to gather her courage, Vesica finally emerged from the darkness. Her hair was no longer silver, but dyed a light brown color. It also seemed to be quite a bit more curly than usual. She wore a black robe with red and gold highlights, and was carrying a thick book under her arm. She hurried towards Mara and Alex, her cheeks flushing beat red as she tried to ignore the gaze of the crowd.
"This is stupid," she muttered, glaring at Alex. Then she spotted Dar.
"You have got to be kidding me…"

Mara was definitely puzzled by what Vesica had redesigned herself as. She still looked like a person... so what was the purpose? Wasn't this meant to become something non-human? "It's not horrible... it actually looks kinda cute on you." Mara said. "Almost like a younger me... only wrong hair color..."
Tenshi on the other hand was about to just laugh at the poor girl, when her attention was drawn to the male Celestial. Her eyes narrowed at once. "And who the hell are you supposed to be?" She spat, as she went over to him. Minos tried to stop her, sensing something wrong, but the Celestial ignored her, and jabbed a finger in the face of the male Celestial. "You just have this air of "I AM SO PERFECT!" around you, and that sickens me. I don't recall seeing your face when our race was still a thing, and I must know all living Celestials for me to rule over. So tell me, peasant, who do you think you are, daring to attract the High Queen of Heaven to such a boorish figure as yourself?"

Alex chuckled heartily, amused by both Vesica's embarrassment and Mara's statement. "What, did you used to have frizzy hair? I thought you were a fox, not a terrier." His laughter increased in volume when he saw that Vesica had noticed Dar. "Hey there, Granger, try to relax. You look like you're about to explode! If you were planning to turn so red, you should have kept the silver hair. Those two colors go nice together. But I gotta say... two franchise characters in one room? And it wasn't even on purpose? Tsk tsk. Five points from Gryffindor."
Dar clucked his tongue disapprovingly. "So harsh, professor! How about this? We make it a trio." He moved his dark eyes towards Oscar and raised a set of fingers, pinched together and ready ton snap. "Hold still now, big red, wouldn't want to peel off your skin by accident."
"What?" demanded the mech pilot angrily before a flash of smoke engulfed him. When he stumbled out of the cloud, coughing and rubbing his eyes, he was wearing robes that matched Dar and Vesica's.
"There!" cried the demon, clapping and laughing. Alex giggled sheepishly alongside him, ignoring a fierce glare from Sam. "The whole trio is here now! Any volunteers to be Draco and company?"
The mischievous Outer Wolrder leapt into motion as Oscar gave chase, throwing curses and threats after the scarlet humanoid. Sam, meanwhile, was watching Tenshi with unimpressed eyes. "I'm not sure she's one to talk about giving off an air of superiority," she said, her voice flat and only loud enough for Alex to hear. He grinned in response and shook his head.
"Blue hair, blue dress, and awful full of herself. That remind you of anyone?"
The woman rolled her eyes. "Yes. Too much."
"Almost makes you think that'll she's start spitting out boasts about killing ancient gods, huh?"
"Wouldn't surprise me at this point."

Vesica scowled and crossed her arms, watching Dar dance and weave out of Oscar's reach. Her gaze soon turned to the tall humanoid plant creature, who met her gaze with its beady black eyes. Her scowl became a concerned frown, and Vesica quickly turned to Mara.
"I think Yuuka's here," she whispered, glancing back to the plant with nervous eyes.
*****
The male Celestial responded only with a warm smile. Either Tenshi's words had no effect, or he simply didn't speak her language.
Then he spoke. His words were foreign, a language Tenshi had never heard before, much less understood. Though she hadn't the slightest idea of what he was saying, something about his smooth, breathless voice caused her to shiver despite herself. As he whispered in his strange, captivating tongue, he began to turn away, walking around the corner of the hallway, well out of sight from the rest of the group.

"That's not her." Mara was quick to say, a notion that relaxed her somewhat. "The scent is different on that thing than it is her, and if it were Yuuka, she'd be making a grandiose entrance." She said, as she noticed Kit and her crew had left. Most likely, they had gone to get some more rest, or do some training... if only that training involved beating the shit out of the walking sadist... or the unfortunate annoying bitch of a Celestial that was still arguing with the weird Celestial.
"Pardon me? I don't speak failure. Mind saying that in a more understandable dialect?" Tenshi snapped, not appreciating the shivering feeling. Why was she supposed to be afraid? It only pissed her off more than it made her scared. "Hello, mister dumbbell?! GOT SOMETHING USEFUL TO SAY?!"

Tenshi's shouting caught the attention of "Groot". He turned his head towards the two Celestials conversing at the end of the hall, watching the two with vacant interest, though he made no attempt to interfere.
The male Celestial spoke again, and this time Tenshi experienced more than an involuntary shiver. The Celestial's gentle, yet alien words seeped within her ears, and her vision began to fog, as though suffering from a lack of sleep. Her mind felt fuzzy. It was getting hard for her to think straight.
*******
Vesica's eyes soon found a new source of suspicion. A newcomer was striding towards the group. At first she thought that he was dressed up for the occasion as a cowboy, what with his ridiculous hat and all, but as he drew closer, Vesica recognized his features. The man wasn't in costume at all.
"Oh no…" she grumbled, shrinking back behind Mara. "It's him."
"Evening, folks!" the man said, raising a hand in greeting. "Haven't seen a demon around by the name of Minos, have you?"

Alex frowned. He leaned in and made sure to keep his voice low so that the newcomer didn't hear. "What's wrong, Ves? Who is that?"
"Nice hat!" came a faint cry from the other end of the corridor, where Dar was still being pursued by Oscar.

At that, Minos whirled around. She was the one the man wanted, and she was right there. She leaned in close, a single hand clenched tightly as she stood in her costume, the white cyborg-esque mask glaring at him. The other hand began to flex. Few dared seek her out willingly... unless, it was for a challenge.
Mara on the other hand, suddenly felt like she was babysitting a spineless chicken. "What, old Robert? He won't be hurting you... He's got no reason to, Vesica." Mara said, trying to calm her down...
"What sort of witchcraft is this?" Tenshi staggered, trying to focus. She didn't like this, not one bit. "I demand answers! Who are you!? And why hadn't my burger set arrived yet?"
