The whole thing had been bad from the get-go

slight timeline shenanigans for lulz; it's been awhile since she was doing this a lot XD

[Busy night tonight for thieving senshi. Mercury seems quite pleased with herself, lips pulled up in a rather proud smirk and with something held tightly in her hand. It glimmers blue, like a gem, but with an otherworldly glow.

The blue rainbow crystal of another world.

She looks up to find herself right in V's apartment. She stops short, the crystal is secreted somewhere about her, and her hand reaches for her sword, which obligingly materializes in her hand. She stays with it ready, but without attacking. The smirk is wholly gone.]

What's this?

"I'm just making things clear for you. That's all." Mercury takes a quick glance around the unfamiliar apartment. If it bothers her that it should be familiar, that Venus should have been a part of the senshi, she's had years of schooling to make sure it doesn't sure.

"Trust me, I have no interest in it."

Her voice is half distracted, her mind mostly lost in thought. The way her world has veered off the timelime weighs heavily on her mind, but at the same time, it's nice to actually have a goal, something to work for.

"So you intend to put this timeline back to normal at all costs." That's what V had said, after all. "Do you know where to begin?"

[thief_route_v]

"Hino-san... Many people claim she has precognitive abilities. I think going to her might be a start. Out of all of them, her destiny remains the most stable." Save for the fact she never becomes Sailor Mars. "Starting there might lead somewhere. If not, I'll try another avenue."

[waterfell]

She considers this a moment. "Sailor Mars always felt her powers were related to her existence as Mars." If she never became Mars... what about those powers, too?

She'd be interested to know.
