'Two Truths' or 'A Lie'

[no_use_running]

[The one shown in the picture window is very purposely Mercury. Equally intentional, it's too close-up to really give a hint of where she is.]

I want to apologize for my actions. Because of certain situations, I needed that energy to be able to live. I should have said so right away and asked for help. Please understand that.

It looks as though your acting could use work.

[She bites back a quick 'shut up'. Tension must be getting to her, to put those words in her mind.]

We did things differently where I'm from. I'm not used to this.

Did anyone react as you wanted?

The senshi came out, like I knew they would.

Mercury. [Usagi doesn't want to accuse her of lying, even though she knows she is.]

Sailor Mooon. [Senshi name for senshi name.]

If you needed something like that, we could have found another way, all you had to do was talk to us.

You'd steal it for me?

[The tone is neutral, pointing out why the idea would never have worked (if she were telling the truth about that part) rather than taunting Usagi this time.]

I don't need an apology for what I allowed to happen.

And the only important thing was that you did attack me. They need to believe you are a threat to everyone, right? My being loud would have made it obvious that it was a ruse.

Don't be so sensible all the time.

[Private]

[secondshitennou]

Is it that annoying then? I'll probably mention it in passing when I have an excuse to say something else.

Re: [Private]

[no_use_running]

Ah- Not really.

[There's an 'I'm sorry I snapped' in there somewhere, but it doesn't come out.]

Anyway, it's too bad Queen Metalia isn't here. That amount of energy I got in the end would make even Beryl commend me.

[unseenspy]

If it was only for your survival, there's no need to apologize, is there?

[He says it with a hint of suspicion in his tone. He doesn't quite believe you either.]

[no_use_running]

I wonder if everyone thinks like that.

[unseenspy]

Somehow I doubt it. However, there have been worse attacks.

[no_use_running]

So it's a question of how far someone goes.

[love_me_venus]

You... needed that energy? **Ahh, the gullible senshi you wanted**

[no_use_running]

[Just as ordered!]

When we're reborn, the changes to our bodies can be extreme.

[love_me_venus]

But... I've always felt fine. And... I heard I was the first senshi to awaken. Well, I just didn't remember stuff, you know?

[no_use_running]

I don't mean that. I mean within the Dark Kingdom. I was reborn with power from Metalia, like all of us there.
