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?

[xfire_birdx]

[Oh, new residents again? ... How lovely.

Kirachi is rubbing her forehead, trying to figure out the best way to word this.]

If you're so convinced this is an illusion, you probably won't believe me. But, hey, whatever, I can try - you're in Promenade, it's not part of your home world, and it makes little to no sense. Enjoy.

I don't, I thought I had broken free only to find myself here. If someone is taking people from their homes and holding them in this city, there has to be a way to stop them.

[xfire_birdx]

Oh, don't worry, most of the city feels the same. And plenty have been trying to find a way to fix this mess. Doesn't change the fact that people keep getting stuck here.

[Video]

[flamed_passion]

No one has ever found a way out?

[She frowns, really troubled by this.]

The enemy must be stronger than I thought then...

...Princess?

[You have got to be shitting him. And the look on his face says as much.]

[flamed_passion]

Protecting her is my life.

[Her expression is dead serious as she says this.]

[redhotsummers]

...yeah I'm pretty sure this isn't what you think it is, here.

[And he's looking at her like she's crazy.]

[flamed_passion]

Is it? I've been taken from my world against my will, that is the actions of an enemy.

[She'll stare him down, even if he thinks she's insane.]

[loyaldragon]

[ here, have a samurai staring back at you. ]

What princess?

[ not that it's any of his concern, but he is curious. ]

video

[flamed_passion]

[And Sailor Mars stares right back.]

You wouldn't know her, unless you are one of the enemy.

video

[loyaldragon]

[ he can stare all day. ]

I know of no princess, only my lord. And that would depend upon who you swear loyalties to.

[flamed_passion]

[Bring it on, she won't be the one who backs down first.]

Who is your lord?

[hemlock_garden]

[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.
