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

[Have a pale woman with a slightly glassy look to her eyes. Considering Mars' history, that may or may not ring as inhuman for her.]

Oh dear! I do hope someone has properly explained to you that this is a sort of dream? I'm afraid getting back is left up to the whim of whoever brought us here, but you shouldn't have to worry about enemies at least!

[flamed_passion]

[Mars certainly notices something is not quite right, she's very much on guard.]

I am a soldier, it's my duty to worry about the enemy.

[hemlock_garden]

Oh! Well what I meant was that there really aren't enemies here. Not that I've seen, at least. No one has mentioned anything of the sort, and one would think that sort of thing would be!

I'm terribly sorry I wasn't more clear. It's considered polite to greet everyone who arrives, I've noticed, and I didn't want you to think you'd be attacked right after waking up. It would be so inconsiderate.

[flamed_passion]

What about those who brought and are holding us here? It seems not everyone chose to be here.

It would be but it's happened before.

[hemlock_garden]

Well! They aren't really enemies, I suspect. Of course, we don't exactly know why they've brought us here but I've heard so many opinions well, it's hard to know what to believe! Still, I've been here for a month myself now, and I haven't seen anything untoward. Most of the warnings simply tell us not to attack the palace, which seems reasonable enough!

My though, it does sound like you have a positively adventurous life! I'm Morticia Addams: Misses Addams, if you please. I do hope no one attacks you here. This really is a little vacation.

[flamed_passion]

The palace? Do they allow us to go inside of it at all? [She's making a mental note that this play be a place to investigate later, no need to involve anyone else.]

My friends could be in danger now, I can't take a vacation. I'm Sailor Mars.

[hemlock_garden]

From what I've heard, a few people have broken in in the past. It did not go well - if you are simply curious it might be something to ask discreetly? These computers belong to the King and Queen, so things aren't exactly private, as I understand it.

[Morticia bows her head slightly, an almost curtsy to her PORTAL. She's happier she can share some better news at least!]

It's very nice to miss you, Miss Mars. As for your friends, well, you are still with them of course! This is only a part of you, asleep. So of course I am sure you are still helping your friends however you need to! If you look around, you should be able to find a mirror of some sort in your apartment? That should show you what the part of you that is awake is doing at any moment.

[flamed_passion]

I will make sure to be careful then if they are watching this method of communication.

I am? [This confuses her and alarms her as well. This sounds strange...] I saw the mirror but I didn't look at it closely.

[hemlock_garden]

Well then!

[She makes little shooing motions with her hands, smiling encouragingly.]

Go take a peek. I'll be right here when you're done.

[flamed_passion]

I'll speak to you later then. [Mars is a little surprised but switches the PORTAL off to make her way to the apartment, though she's on guard still.]
