[lessabrasive]

WHO: EVERYONE. (Unless you're boarding the Mother of Invention. Then you're not here. You can't be in two places at once, yo.)
WHERE: MEANWHILE, AT THE BRAVEST WARRIORS'S SECRET HIDEOUT THE GARDEN (aka the Greenhouse), FIFTH DISTRICT..
WHAT: ..three random items that whisper in your head are brought together. For Science. Will shenanigans ensue?

Shortly after Agent North Dakota's callout on the network, Lin took steps of her own to handle other unresolved matters. A quick, simple message was broadcast publicly: let's bring the three items found so far together.

Perhaps something would happen. Perhaps it would not. Either way, it would given those who were not capable of combat in deep space something to focus on, and Lin welcomed the opportunity to be useful.

Upon entry into the district, the metalbender could easily be seen standing on the bridge outside the glass-domed building. Arms were folded across her chest and her expression unreadable; her pricklemane fussed at her side, pacing back and forth behind her. The blue peepsta hoo was perched on the ledge high above, watching for the approach of other dreamers, blinking from time to time.

The AI chip was currently stored in her hip pouch, wrapped in a small square of cloth. Lin saw no need to try and listen to frustrating voices speaking too quietly for her to understand them until the others had arrived.

Bolin might have missed a few things since he wasn't sure what Lin's request was all about. But, he was curious and bored, which was probably a bad combination. Besides, if it was dangerous enough that Lin was saying to bring the spirits and potions as a precaution, could he really turn them down? Besides, he wasn't planning on going on the MoI anyway since he'd definitely be useless there. And he DID want to help.

So, while Bolin wasn't sure what he could do about these items, he showed up anyway. He had Chi and Ping with him this time, knowing that he hadn't spent time with those spirits as much lately.

Truth be told, Aqua had been more than a little busy simply making sure that Lea had a decent enough grasp on the basics of Keyblading. Honestly, it was more of a challenge than it had sounded at first, mostly because she didn't really have much experience with teaching at all and what she remembered from her own training could only get her so far. But something was better than nothing, or so she was going to keep telling herself.

But that didn't mean she couldn't spend some time trying to figure out what was going on, and the problem of the things they'd been finding was a good place to start. True, she wasn't sure how much help she would be, but she certainly wouldn't know if she never showed up in the first place.

Bolin wasn't the only one to be curious and bored, though Even was unlikely to admit to it. He likely would have come anyway. These strange messages (if they were messages) constituted a puzzle, and one that might not devolve into combat.

Jaime had heard Chief Beifong's announcement go out over the network. He'd been restless ever since he'd heard about the expedition to the Mother of Invention. Knowing things that might affect him and his ability to get home were happening without him... it was maddening.

So, even though he didn't think he'd have much to add to the experiment, Jaime and his pricklemane (he'd named it Virtue) responded to Lin's summons. Better than than being alone. Except for Lin, he didn't recognize anyone else who had already arrived.

Virtue wasn't shy, though. In fact, the Spirit bounded ahead of Jaime to greet those who were already there.

[defrostedpride]

While Even wasn't particularly inclined to socialize, his Spirits were of a different sort: Myosin (the somewhat-belatedly-named Pricklemane) tripped over its own feet in its eagerness to meet a new friend. Helothermine was more sedate...or just more mischeivous; it snuck up behind Virtue in a puddle of darkness, then jumped out with a friendly rattle.

[wavesinherheart]

If Even's Spirits hadn't gone bounding forward, Aqua's probably would have. As things stood, her Pricklemane simply drifted in the general direction of the others while still keep something of a distance. Her Komory Bat, on the other hand, seemed to be not at all inclined to come down anywhere near the others, preferring to stay where it could be sure to see anything that transpired.

[onlyrescuesmaidens]

Virtue seemed delighted to be around another of his own kind, and almost bounced off of Myosin in his own eagerness to say hello.

He jumped at least a foot off the ground at the sound of Helothermine's rattle, though. When he landed, though, he had the air of a cat saying, "I meant to do that all along." Then, he took a couple of steps toward Aqua's Pricklemane, as if to say, "You want to come play too?"

Jaime had never really seen his Spirit interact with any others before, so he had to laugh.

"Are they always like this?"

There was a disapproving hoot from above the door, and the peepsta hoo fluffed up its feathers in irritation. The pricklemane beside Lin was delighted to see more spirits, however, and immediately bounced over to greet them and the unfamiliar Persons here.

"Somewhat so, yes," answered Lin, nodding in greeting in turn as people appeared. She was only passingly familiar with a few of them, though she had fought along side Even and Aqua against the giant queen bee shortly after she had first arrived here.

"Thank you all for coming." She opened the door behind her and gestured for others to enter. "We're just waiting on the other items."

[defrostedpride]

"Yes," Even said flatly. "Constantly." On the other hand, if they were keeping each other amused, then they weren't interrupting actual conversation.

He nodded to those present he had met before and entered the building at Lin's gesture.
