I. ♂ Daytime [Video/Action]

[flamed_passion]

[The PORTAL switches on to show Sailor Mars looking at the screen, her expression calm but her eyes are hard as she speaks, her tone serious. She believes she's speaking to the other senshi, her manner business-like and brief]Everyone, I don't know if you can hear this but please be on guard. The enemy is tricky, we have to be very careful. I

[She observes this silently for a moment.]

...you realize you are in illusion?

[flamed_passion]

[She's surprised at someone other than her friends answering, this has to be some kind of trap.]

Who are you? What have you done with my friends?

[solarpurpura]

It is not I who have brought you here.

[A placid response.]

We all wake in the city for our own reasons.

[flamed_passion]

Then who did?

[This doesn't reassure her, she's still on guard.]

What is this place?

[solarpurpura]

The city is Promenade, and there are those who will tell you that you have always been here. Whether that is a convenient belief to you, [She shrugs.] or not, is not for me to dictate.

I've never seen this place before. I want to find whoever brought me here and to find the way out.

[solarpurpura]

Yes, that is generally what everyone says.

[She's been uninterested in returning, from the get go, personally.]

I have been here nine months now, and no one has found a ready escape, though people disappear frequently enough.

Why doesn't anyone find who is doing this and stop them?

[solarpurpura]

There are the king and queen, they rule the city, but it is questionable whether they are responsible for our awakening, or not. But they do quell rebellion, as necessary.

[flamed_passion]

So people have tried to get to them before or to escape?

[solarpurpura]

Indeed, there is a small organization here, I suppose they like to be called a resistance.

[Her voice is dry.]

They are nearly as impotent as the monarchs themselves.

[flamed_passion]

How can I find this resistance?

[solarpurpura]

Hm. I think Stark is their ringleader. They've not particularly discrete, howeever, you shouldn't have any trouble finding them.

[flamed_passion]

Thank you, I'll have to look for them then.

[She inclines her head quietly.]

Welcome to the city, then.
