((OOC: ok, so we'll say all the orbis'n pals in Arcadis came here kk?))
Ophiuchus enters Aries' chamber. Libra was already there for what she could see, and Aries, the sickly old man, lie in his bed, still alive but barely.
"Ophi is here Aries." Libra says kindly.
"What of the others?" he weezes "You must all hear this...."
---------
Marielle awakens to the smell and sound of cooking eggs and bacon. She can hear someone humming from another room, and rubs her eyes as she sits up. There was a dressform with a dress and robes on it for her, and her crown sat on a desk near it. She gets up and gets dressed, then slowly walks into the other room.
Antonio was humming as he cooked them breakfast. He flipped the eggs with a spatula that was attatched to his arm. he looks over his shoulder, hearing her "Ah! Lady Marielle, sit right down, I'll have breakfast done shortly!"
She sits "Are we still locked in?" she asks
"hmm? Oh yes, we are. Ophi was here for a while, but she had to leave. One of her friends is very old and is on his deathbed. They say it is his time so, she is there with him. She said they would likely discuss all their next moves afterwards, and she would discuss reuniting us with the Princes and Princesses."

((OOC: Yay! Floating sky castle! Gotta have one of those in just about every steampunk RP! Or at least I would think so. Maybe. Possibly...bah, whatever, sky castles are just cool  )) Virgo and Leo walk into Aries' room a few seconds after Ophiuchus. "Do not worry, old friend. I'm here with you until the bitter end.," Virgo says sadly as he walks up to Aries' bed. Leo shakes her head with similar sadness, yet also with a touch of pity. "I hate to see you like this old man. You'd think after all these years we Orbis would have found a way to cheat death by now." "Do not speak of such things Leo. Even the greatest of powers cannot protect one from death forever.," Virgo scolds Leo. "It is not Aries' fault his time has come, as we all will eventually pass on at one point or another." He looks back at Aries. "I just wish I could have been in a more humanly populated area during my time on the ground. I may have been able to find a successor for you." |

"Cheat....death." Aries chuckles "I have forseen that one of such skill...is in the near future....the question will be....did they cheat death....or-" he coughs, like a dying old man "or were they cheated...of death."
Ophiuchus raises an eyebrow.
"As...for...my successor....the others...must be here...."

"We are my old friend." Scorpio walks in with Capricorn. "Taurus is bringing Saggitarius, they were not too far behind us."
"Yeah, guy is still complaining about his head."
"Why do you keep bringing that up?" Scorpio asks.
"Guy was a military big shot before he awoke once upon a time. Seems kinda wimpy for him to complain." Capricorn says.
"You are insufferable." Scorpio scolds.
------------
"I see. So that explains everything." Taurus says.
"Indeed, that is why i might need your help. Whatever ties you may yet hold...I might need them to save my child." Saggiarius says. "In return I will safeguard yours."
"It's a deal, that is if he...nggh..." Taurus clutches his head. "Damn it..."

Ophiuchus leans on the wall "They sure are picking a wonderful time to take theirs..."
Aries chuckles "Ophiuchus...be more of the...child you are...stop with this....indifferent bitterness....have we *cough* really raised you....to be so...numb?"
"No, of course not." Ophiuchus says

Saggitarius and Taurus enter.
"Damn this pain...forgive me Aries...it's another attack." Tauus grimaces.
"If there was only a way to speed that up without risk of harm." Scorpio says. "A pity the good Doctor was leery of that."
"Enough of your mouth Scorpio, this is not the time is it?" Sagiitarius says.
"For once you are right." Scorpio says.
"Aquarius, Pisces, Cancer, Gemini..." Capricorn was listing of who was missing.
"Stop that before I stab you in the thigh." Scoprio snaps at him.

"I have yet to find the new Canser." Libra says "and last I knew Pisces and Gemini were not able to be here."

"I have arrived." Gemini entered gracefully. She walked very quickly, but it was extremely careful, percise, and almost beautiful.
She stood beside Libra, although kept an unusual distance. She looked slightly uncomfortable and tried to avert eye contact. She played with the silver bracelet on her left wrist. She always had it on her, and she seemd to be infatuated with it.
"Pisces...spoke to...me, awhile ago...He cannot make it...I believe he may have become The Storm and decided it was best he stay away...lest he tried to kill us like last time..." She sighed out her explanation quietly. It was not loud, but everyone could hear. Her voice was not bored, but almost had a sad tone to it.

"Gemini, you did make it." Libra smiles. "Now all we wait for is Aquarius." she says to Aries.
"Good....I would like...her to hear...this..." Aries says

There is loud, audible, mechanical clanking down the hallway for a few seconds before Aquarius gets to Aries' room. She stoops down to enter through the doorway and as she stands back up, it is painfully obvious just how much larger this body is compared to her fellow Orbis.
"It looks like I am the last one to make it here.," she says, her voice metallic and distant as it comes out of the head of the SPRB. "I'm...sorry for the delay Aries.," she apologies, obvious sadness in her tone, despite it's mechanical nature.
"Woah...," Leo whispers to herself. "I always forget just how large that body of hers is."
"It is a beauty, isn't it?," Virgo whispers back to Leo with a grin. "If only it weren't necessary. How unfortunate that for our castle to exist as it does, Aquarius must be forced to sacrifice her natural body."
"Not that I'd mind to be a steam-powered machine of awesome.," Leo comments.

"Mnnnmm....so loud." Taurus says. "Sorry, no offense Aquarius."
"Now that we are all here we must be silent." Scorpio says. "You may proceed Aries."

Aries nods "Virgo mentioned earlier....the matter of my....replacement." he weezes "I...have already....found him....And *cough* have marked him....with my symbol....and, his parents...named him...after me." he smiles "All you have to do...is locate him....he is...still a boy....a year younger...than our dear....little Ophiuchus......he is...Tektallian....his father...a knight, so.....I imagine he will be out causing trouble..." he chuckles weakly.
Libra smiles "Always thinking ahead..."

"That should be no problem." Scorpio says.
"Do you have a name for the Father? I was Tektallian once before...I might know of this man." Taurus says.

Aries frowns "I think....the surname was....Migello." he coughs.

"Migello...Aries Migello...," Virgo repeats to himself. "If he's the son of a knight, no doubt he is with the resistance."
Leo snaps her fingers. "Sweet! Tektallium is my area! I can probably find the guy in no time flat now that I know who I'm looking for."
"Do you remember what part of the country your successor lives in?," Aquarius asks. "I could move the castle over there so we could grab him faster if you do."
