The nexus seems to have connected to a club room this time. The interior seems to be mostly improvised, as all pieces of furniture don't match and seem to have been dragged to this room from various places. There's a computer on the table though and a big book case which is stacked with anything but books. (There seem to be a few books defiantly

"Minako-chan, Minako-chan!" Usagi hurries in, oblivious (or at least not paying any attention) to the fact she's stepped into a different world. Minako-chan is Minako-chan after all. She looks around the room enthusiastically.

"These are all great props! I want to try them on, too!"

[themascottype]

Minako doesn't seem to mind Usagi suddenly barging in all that much, it's a rather normal thing here after all. She turns around to face the side of the room with the door with a smile, still holding one of the costumes.

"The drama club does have great costumes after all, right? They were so nice to lend these to us!" It won't be stealing! Just lending for a long time! It's alright as long as you bring it back sometime, right? (After graduation, maybe?)

[buntails]

"Can I try one on, then? Hey, Minako-chan, pick one out for me!" And uh, there's a screen or something to change behind, right? Or maybe she should duck down the hallway to the bathrooms.

[themascottype]

"Of course you can! It's for the whole club, after all!" Not that anyone but Minako and Usagi would want to try any costume like these on. After turning around again and looking through the costumes on the rack for a few moments Minako seems to find something.

She triumphantly holds up one of the maid outfits. "Don't you think this one is cute? I kind of want to try it on, too!"

In comes a Mako-chan dressed in her usual clothes - a Mako-chan who is definitely beginning to notice a shift in the worlds. This... doesn't look like Usagi's bedroom, which is where she'd been headed, and that blonde - though looking remarkably similar - is definitely not Usagi.

However, she's still a friend. "Eh, Minako-chan?" Not her most eloquent moment, but hey, you caught her off-guard. "Is this... your house?"

[themascottype]

Come on, Makoto. Minako has at least more style than this! (... Really, it's just the amount of idol posters missing on the walls that doesn't make it her room.)

The girl manages to leave her reflection alone for a moment and looks over to the new arrival. "My house? Of course not! This is the club room, of course!" She slightly lifts her eyebrows in surprise. Well, that was an awkward question.

"Are you alright?" Asking such a question wasn't exactly normal, after all.

[herculeansenshi]

Well, she's disoriented! How is she supposed to know where they are? Makoto takes a moment to look around a bit, still confused, and zones in on the costumes.

They certainly are... varied.

"Ah, I'm okay!" Not strictly true, but she'd hate for her friend to worry. "What is the club room?"

Because she has no idea what that is, after all!

[themascottype]

This earns Makoto a worried Minako running towards her. (This is something you should find Do Not Want if you call the Nurse Venus fiasco.) She grabs the other girl's wrist, intenting to drag her towards the table with chairs.

"What is the club room? Are you sure you're okay? You must have amnesia! Did you fall? You need to sit down for a few moments!" Minako seems to have been eyeing one of the nurse outfits on the rack as well.

Ami is getting more used to being in random places than she'd like. She's riveted to the doorway, though, not quite willing to be rude enough to barge in uninvited. Her eyes soon find the senshi costume, and stay there a moment.

[themascottype]

Minako seems to be admiring the cheerleader-like outfit she's holding in front of her right now in the mirror. Apparently it fascinates her so that she doesn't even notice Ami arriving. It isn't until she put the costume back between the others that she does.

"Ami-chan!" Minako smiles, greeting the other girl. "Usagi-chan isn't here yet, it's really weird! Have you seen her?"

[everyonesbrain]

Oh, dear. This person seems to know her, or rather, her alternate. It'd probably be worse to insist there's a mistake, so she pastes a friendly smile to her face despite hating herself for the deception.

"I'm sorry," she apologizes. "I'm late, too." She assumes so if Usagi is, anyway.

[themascottype]

"It's alright," Minako replies, "as long as Usagi isn't here yet nobody minds anyway!"

She goes back to her new prized costumes, frowning as she finds one that seems quite a few sizes too big for her. "I just hope that Usagi is alright wherever she is. There haven't seemed to be any disturbances yet, right?" Now she thinks about it, she hasn't seen Makoto, Rei or even Mamoru around yet either. Perhaps they were with Usagi.

[shadowedflames]

Mars freezes in the doorway. Her eyes, wide as saucers, glue themselves to... Minako, she reminds herself; she goes by a human name now.

So does Mars - that is, Hino Rei. Rei tries to will her legs to turn and run, but she can't quite do it. But she can't even speak the other girl's name, either, right now.

[themascottype]

Minako sees the other girl out of the corner of her eye and start smiling. The smile slightly fades though when the other girl doesn't speak up at all. Did something happen? It was, after all, rather strange for Usagi to not be here yet, but Minako had told herself the other girl might have detention or something similair.

She frowns just slightly out of worry as she takes a few steps towards Rei. "Rei-chan? Is something wrong?"

[shadowedflames]

The name rolls too easily and naturally off Minako's tongue. This, instead of making things worse, relaxes Rei. This Minako is an alternate. Of course. Of course.

Rei's Best Public Smile(TM) is put firmly in place.

"Not at all!" she gives a little laugh. "I was just spacing out!"

[themascottype]

The frown disappears again and the smile reappears. Minako giggles as she grabs a costume off the rack - the sailor senshi costume, which colours seem to look most like Sailor Moon's - and puts it in front of her, turning towards Rei with a smile.

"Well, doesn't it seem to suit me?" She laughs some more. This Minako really has no idea of what it means in other worlds, after all.

[themascottype]

Minako is at the very least alert enough to notice someone else in the room when it's viewable in the piano as well. "Who--?!" She sharply turns around, wary at this sudden appearance. She then tells herself to not overreact so much though. Usagi isn't here, there's no way something weird would happen, right?

Then she figures it out. With that kind of costume, it's probably someone from the drama club! "Ah, are you from the drama club?" She asks and laughs, although very sheepishly. She hasn't seen this person before at school at all. One of the teachers, maybe? "Thank you for letting us borrow your costumes!"
