[Special 005: Voice] Drafted Again

[no_use_running]

[She makes this post as Sailor Mercury, because she'll be fighting in that form and it's best to be upfront with the people who'll be her allies.]I've been drafted. I think I went once before, didn't I? I hope that I aquitted myself well. I also hope to be able to fight alongside everyone else this time

[Between the extra draft notice from before which Robert still has to react to but the mun needs to get exact details and all the other crap that's happened recently, Robert is definitely on edge and paying attention to his journal for Doctor Mizuno.

So when he hears her voice over the journals, his attention is instantly piqued. He opens it and takes a look...

... What? That is most certainly not the Doctor Mizuno he knows. Vibrant blue hair, outfit in equally bright tones of blue and white, a golden, jewelled headband...]

... D-Doctor Mizuno? Is... Is that you? [Everything was so topsy-turvy lately that Robert had started doubting his sanity, so this isn't exactly helping matters.] What... what happened to you? [... Is this some sort of strange pre-war ritual she's doing?]

[Maybe she has a sister? But there's no real shock that Robert realizes it's her. Her form may be different, but her face is similar and the voice, and even many of her mannerisms.]

I'm sorry for surprising you.

[What might be even more surprising is the fact she carries a sword. OK, then.]

Please call me Sailor Mercury.

[That title is something that sounds... It sounds dangerous. It sounds like something Doctor Mizuno would never have.

Robert is confused, but more than anything he's almost sad.]

... Sailor Mercury. Like... Like the planet? Or the element? [That question is a sad little attempt to rationalize what he's hearing. Not that her mannerisms or outfit seem to suggest either a small planet or a silvery-white metal.

They suggest a warrior.]

... They're... They're making you go to fight. [Robert's tone is small, distant.] You're a d-doctor. You shouldn't be fighting. You sh-shouldn't be anywhere near that... that barbarism. It's... it's disgusting. Abominable. [Robert's voice drops into a soft mumble.]

... w-will you be alright? [It's a stupid question. She's going to war. Wars are never alright, never. But he asks it anyway, because he can't bear the thought of losing another person.]

Being a doctor is something new for me. I was a soldier ever since a long time ago.

I'm sorry, it's probably saying a lot at once.

[love_me_venus]

Y-you're going?

[no_use_running]

It'll be alright. I can fight.

So please take care of the house while I'm gone.

[This is her rather inept way of trying to be reassuring.]

[love_me_venus]

I'm just... well... worried.

Come back okay, alright Ami?

[no_use_running]

I wouldn't wish for you to be in danger, but I can't help thinking, if it were at home, we'd face the enemy together.

[baka_jyanai]

... You'll be okay. Because you're strong.

[no_use_running]

Thank you. I appreciate hearing that.

[baka_jyanai]

Good! Cuz I can say it a lot more times, too!

[no_use_running]

You seem very cheerful. [Which is helping to keep her cheerful, too.] I'm glad you're in good spirits.

I'll carry your strength with me when I go.

[lists_to_port]

I've no objections to being cared for by you, Ami lass.

[no_use_running]

I'll bring extra comforts for you.

[lists_to_port]

Oh? What sorts?

[no_use_running]

Extra provisions.

Excuse me... Mercury, was it? I'll be fighting as well. My strength is direct, focused force.

I suppose this is an unusual time for this, but... how well did you do in your affairs of love?

Re: [filtered]

[no_use_running]

I'm not involved in any sort of relationship. That was just the malnosso.

[cuttingedges]

[...Another one who'd just been manipulated. He feels bad for Mercury, he really does. Now is not the time for talk, though.]

...I see. In any case, I wish you luck on the battlefield.

Re: [filtered]

[no_use_running]

Thank you. I'll fight with determination.
