It takes some time -- perhaps several minutes -- for the young man to fully materialize in the Nexus, and even when he does, there's a faint, misty quality to his outline as though someone had taken an eraser and smudged him at the edges. For a moment, staring around at the Nexus, he looks faintly bewildered, even lost -- then quickly freezes the ( Read more... )

Chibiusa blinks. "How come you're kind of blurry-looking?" she asks. "And I don't know why the Nexus is here, 'cept for people from different worlds and times to meet up."

There's something very vaguely familiar about this girl that the young man can't place. Leaning forward, he stares at her closely for several moments before deciding it's nothing and pulling back again. "Because." With a sneering twist of his mouth, his hand snakes out, passing neatly and completely through her head before pulling back again. "Technically I'm not here."

Another glance around the Nexus. "Hm. Could help pass the time, at least for a bit."

chibiusanohime June 19 2006, 03:03:47 UTC

"Whoa." Chibiusa quickly raises her hands to her head to make sure it's still solid. "That was weird. So, if you're not really here then where are you?"

She notices his uniform looks similar to that of the other man who showed up here a couple days earlier. Hmm, very peculiar...

He might laugh at her reaction if he were in a laughing mood -- and if the girl weren't so strangely disturbing to him. "Elsewhere." He doubts it would make sense to a child anyway -- and why give away his position? Who knew who might be listening? He settles for staring at her again, turning the question back on her. "You seem familiar."

"How the hell did you get paralyzed?"

illusory_jade June 19 2006, 02:54:47 UTC

The young man sneers. "Displeased my superior -- froze me into a block of crystal and stuffed me into what I suspect is a pocket dimension. I also suspect she's forgotten about me."

man_of_means June 19 2006, 02:59:26 UTC

"What the fuck did you do?"

illusory_jade June 19 2006, 03:14:05 UTC

"Nothing!" His fists clench, voice rising abruptly; apparently this is a sticking point even now. "Well, so I didn't manage to collect enough energy for her, and so I didn't defeat the enemy that time, but I had Tokyo in my *hand*. I *knew* the enemy's identities. If she'd given me one more fucking chance, I would have *had* them. She didn't even give me the chance to tell her."

Mental exercises.

And because time and space need somewhere to go once they're used up in the universes. That's why this place is so strange.

illusory_jade June 19 2006, 02:57:24 UTC

"What kind? I've done my multiplication tables up to 60,000 times 60,000 or so and discovered that mental math is a bitch. I'm open to suggestion."

He frowns. "Is that what this is?"

nottheobvious June 19 2006, 02:58:53 UTC

Word games? Take a sentence and see how many new words you can make out of it.

illusory_jade June 19 2006, 03:09:08 UTC

"Haven't tried that one yet. I take it they have to make sense?"

His arms cross as he mutters. "Never been a big reader, but what I wouldn't give for a freaking book."

"Ok, this is starting to get really weird..."

chibiusanohime June 19 2006, 03:04:20 UTC

"You know him, Usagi?"

bakaodangoatama June 19 2006, 03:10:42 UTC

"Yeah, he was one of the generals of The Dark Kingdom. I fought them when I had first became Sailormoon."

chibiusanohime June 19 2006, 03:12:55 UTC

Chibiusa's mouth forms a quiet 'o' of surprise. "So that means," she asks, dropping her voice to a whisper "that he used to be one of Dad - uh, Mamo-chan's guardians in the Silver Millenium, before he got turned evil?"

I used to be in that situation myself. I spent my time plotting revenge or imagining the many ways I would kill the person who did this to me. If that gets old then try to force yourself to sleep or go dormant.

illusory_jade June 19 2006, 03:24:47 UTC

He nods. "So many ways . . . I've dreamed about it too. I've come up with hundreds of new plots -- if only she'd let me use them."

"I sleep some, but I get sick of it."

the_darkest_fae June 19 2006, 03:34:37 UTC

I was trapped for a milennia in stone. The reason I escaped was the magic pendant that contained me fell off. Can you manipulate your powers outside your own body?

illusory_jade June 19 2006, 04:06:53 UTC

"Powers?" The corner of his mouth lifts in a sneer, glancing at his hands. "Not in this form. At the moment it's all I can do to be here."
