Forest - Open

[remotivateme]

"I never imagined the other side of the supplies closet to look like this," Vila said, as he stood scratching his head inside of the cupboard, confused at the sudden appearance of a picturesque, faerie tale forest - complete with a clear blue babbling brook, tall trees, and endless rows of perfectly planted spring flowers

Well, this one is certainly out of place -- Zoe's certainly not seen him and she does know... well... everyone, really. She approaches him with a bright smile.

"Hello! I don't think we've met. I'm Zoe."

Of all the things Vila was expecting to see in this... wherever this was, a chipper young girl wasn't one of them.

"No, probably not. I'm Vila," he says absently like whilst looking around. "Say, you haven't seen an angry fellow dressed in black - or, or a pretty lady with a gun, have you?"

She pauses seriously to consider his question.

"Well, there are a number of people here who might fit either of those descriptions. The headless horseman is awfully fond of black and never in a very good mood... but I haven't seen him near here."

"Headless horseman?" Vila rolls his eyes. "Listen, I don't have time for ghost stories. I need to find out how to get back to... where I was before."

He pauses briefly. "Unless this is all some really weird dream."

Usagi looks around frantically. She can't count the number of times she's de-transformed before, and none of those times had anything like this happened. Maybe it was something strange about the circumstances? She tries to remember exactly what was happening. They had sorted out that mess with Coatl, Pluto was taking Endymion and Chibi-usa home, and she was turning from Sailor Moon back to Usagi, as normal.

But why then has she seemed to have changed locations entirely? A quick glance at her clothes proves she did manage to de-transform, but where are all of her friends? Tears begin to well up in her eyes as she walks towards the only person she can see nearby.

"Excuse me," she manages. "but I don't -- I -- I don't know where I am and I don't know where my friends are and it's really weird and I don't know how to get home from here or anything and it's it I --"

Yeah, she'll just be crying now, Vila, hope you don't mind.

Vila turns around at the sound of her voice. He manages to keep up with her, until she bursts into tears. "Hey, hey. Don't cry. We can be lost and friendless together, if it helps."

She sniffs a few times, trying (somewhat unsuccessfully) to dry her tears. "I'm Usagi. Usagi Tsukino."

[remotivateme]

He gives her a pat on the shoulder. "Usagi? That's a pretty name. Pretty girls shouldn't cry," he says in an attempt to cheer her up. "I'm Vila."
