Day 37: Sun Room
Joe had read some of the larger notes stuck up on the bulletin board when the announcement came on the intercom. All things considered, this Landel guy didn't even seem so bad. Even if these people were held here against their will, he was certainly nice about it.

Kunzite felt refreshed for the first time in a long time. No worrying about Sailor Senshi, no concerns about another one of Beryl's idiotic rule...no Master to deal with. Instead, an intriguing chat with another young warrior, a fulfilling meal, and a surprisingly satisfying shower. The swordsman strolled over to the bulletin board, the whole time soaking in the rays from the powerful sunlight beating through the glass ceiling. Skimming through a few personal, uninteresting comments, he laughed, then turned to the individual seated nearby.
"May I sit?" he asked, pointing to the open spot on one of the couches. By his reckoning, there was ample time before the lunch shift for him to update his notebook with information.

"No apologies necessary," he replied, bowing to the young man before taking the offered seat. "I, too, have accused others of being who they are not...in a certain manner. My name is Kunzite, leader of the Shitennou." I could use a fair bit of amusement, the swordsman thought quietly, and this one should prove more than adequate in that regard...

Kunzite was briefly taken aback by the question. "Where do I come from?" he parroted; the answer had a few various subtleties to it. Obviously, 'Earth' came to mind, since his dealings with his own roommate showed him that even extraterrestrials had been taken to this place. Going beyond that...what WAS the right answer? A sinisterly-sounding organization located deep in the bowels of the planet? The long-dead kingdom from so many years ago? Or even Shin's birthplace, where ever THAT may be...
"It is surprisingly difficult to say," the swordsman finally responded, eyes closed and a smirk on his face. "Originally, I hailed from a vast kingdom on Earth, but that place has long since been lost to the knowledge of man; you'll not find information on it in your history books. I and my fellow Shitennou were reincarnated many years later - circa 1980 in the Gregorian calendar - in Japan, though I cannot recall anything more specific." That's fine for now he thought, If he continues ( ... )

Upon hearing that this Kio had heard about him through a comic book, therefore, the swordsman was quite flabbergasted, to say the least.
"You..." he stammered, his face twisted in a perplexed gaze as he rubbed his forehead in a rather distraught manner, "...you've read of my - of our - exploits in a manga? Those small picture books children read?" Kunzite was reasonably surprised by all this as myriad thoughts flowed through his head: how on earth did anyone find out about our doings? The humans...no, their memories would be foggy at best, and I do not recall ever giving my name within earshot of anyone else...no, no, that's impossible... He finally ( ... )

At first, Kunzite would have believed this young man to be playing a joke on him. With the knowledge he seemed to have about him and his exploits, the swordsman was SURE that this was an elaborate prank, the nonsense about being a manga story no doubt planted in his mind by one of his former compatriots.
The youth continued to speak, however, seemingly confused by the swordsman's appearance...and then dared to insult him by insinuating that the identity produced was a false one! Such impudence in this one, Kunzite thought angrily, and with a show of displeasure he stood, sending the book on his lap to the floor. It was one thing to question his loyalties - as Zoisite was wont to do in his world - but
"You dare question my words," the man snar

"How dare you question the words of Kunzite, the greatest of the Shitennou?" he snarled, glaring over the smaller man with a hard, disapproving stare. "If anything, I would say your 'manga' is grossly misinformed about my appearance; nevertheless, ( ... )

Do not hit the civilian, Kunzite kept repeating to himself. He is grossly misinformed, no doubt befuddled by the experiences he's had at this place. Nevertheless...his impertinence is growing quite irritating.The strain on the swordsman's face was palpable; in his day, he would have leashed out with much greater rage, but lately, dealing with other individuals in this out-of-place situation, his attitude had...it had started to revert back to the way he behaved during...during the days of the Earth Kingdom. And loathe as he still was to remember 'servitude' under Master...he was slowly welcoming this change ( ... )
