First Prayer: Enter: Sailor Mars! [Action/Accidental Voice]

[faithfulflame]

[In the early afternoon, people paying attention to the journal may or may not take note of a familiar scene playing out in the woods on the edge of town. An open voice-feed, clearly unintentional of an extremely confused looking girl who's definitely just arrived, and from the sounds of it is not where she expected to be...]

Uuuuaaaah? W...what sort of illusion is this?!

[An actual scream!] KYYYYAAAAA!!!!!

W..hat?! WHAT?! N...o..., its gone! But...I was just...WHAT?! Where is it?! I've got to get back...from...here and...go help the others! But first...my pen...I've got to find it? And...whats this...thing? A book?

[The feed closes with the sound of footsteps coming near, but a misplaced finger adds a photograph to the broadcast.

Rei-chan! [Ami's voice comes over the journal immediately. She barely dares hope she's hearing correctly, after so long. But she knows that voice. She knows it anywhere.] Rei-chan!!

I'll come right there! Tell me where you are. What can you see? It's not an illusion, but I'll explain when we meet.

[faithfulflame]

Ami-chan?!

[Her voice? From the book? What?! Wasn't she dead? Didn't I just see her DIE?!

I...I don't know...Its, there's a big building, and trees. I see a really big flag on it...

[Ami...is that really you?

[geniustheveil]

[A building and trees. That can be anywhere in the village. The flag should help.]

I'll find you. [She has to at least be able to do this much.] I'm on my way right now. We can keep speaking over the journals, like our communicators.

[faithfulflame]

[Where is this? and...why does my back hurt so much?

Ami-chan. Am...I...dead? I think, I feel...fuzzy. Please, hurry...

[geniustheveil]

No! [The protest comes out much too fast, and accidentally too loud. She can't even make herself consider Rei dead.

Of course! The wings. Of course she thinks something bizarre has happened, but when they died...

When they died, it wasn't like this. She remembers.

Ami pushes that thought away with an effort. With the journal grasped in both hands, the voice function picks up some of the noise of her rustling the pages.]

I'll be there as soon as I can. For now, this place is called Luceti. You were brought here by the enemy. However, we'll have to discuss how to fight them more privately.

[ voice ]

[lunas]

[ There's.. something vaguely familiar about the voice. No, more than vaguely, she's sure she can hear Rei. Yet there's something slightly different too, something she can't quite put her finger on, but.. Usagi has never been one for nuances, so she disregards that much. If it's really Rei, then she has to hurry up and contact her, right?! Another one of her friends in this place? ]

R-- Rei-chan?! That's you, isn't it?

[ voice ]

[faithfulflame]

[Usagi-chan?...is that...]

Usagi-chan? You're OK?!

[ voice ]

[lunas]

Yes, it's me..! I'm fine, but.. it really is you! Rei-chan!

[ There's somewhat of a happy tone there - Rei is here, after all this time, really..? ]

Are you okay too? You just arrived, right?

[ voice ]

[faithfulflame]

Yes, it's me, Usagi-chan.

[Relief is VERY plain in her voice...]

I...I'm a little sore, and dizzy, but I think I'm alright. Usagi-chan, where is this place?

[Action]

[the_brightest_sun]

[There's a kid wandering the village today, carrying a wooden box that he has held on his neck with a long ribbon. A delicious aroma comes from the closed box as Goku explores around, searching for people, new people specifically, though that's hard to know at times.

But when he spots a confused looking girl with pretty long black hair and who is screaming... Okay, that one must be new! Have a child approach you with a smile.]

Welcome to Luceti, oneesan! Don't worry, you're okay now, no need to be scared! Ne, ne, are you hungry? I have some delicious okonomiyaki here that I made for new arrivals! It's free!

[Yes, even in Luceti there are vendors on the streets that will assault you offering delicious food.]

[Action]

[faithfulflame]

[When she hears him approach...she whirls around and gives the kid a warning look. In her hand is clasped a red pen, her knuckles white as she clutches it as tightly as she can. Nothing here is what it seems, and she's not ABOUT to trust food from some kid]

Who are you? What do you want?!

[Action]

[the_brightest_sun]

[Woah, Goku stops in his tracks at blinks at the girl a bit confused by her reaction.]

My name's Goku. I wanted to offer you food if you were hungry, I'm taking care of the okonomiyaki restaurant since Ucchan left. She was my family so now the restaurant is mine.

[Nodding to himself, yeah, that's a perfect explanation.]

[Action]

[faithfulflame]

[She blinks. What sort of trick is this by the enemy?]

F...food? Goku? What?! But I...was...I was just...

You...stay back. I don't know what you are. But stay back.

[See her brandish that pen, oh so menacingly!

[Voice]

[fleurdesel]

This is no illusion, Mademoiselle. It is real enough.

[Voice]

[faithfulflame]

[Strange voice...coming from the book? Rei will open it and investigate in a questioning tone]

Its no illusion? Then what is it?

[Voice]

[fleurdesel]

A world all it's own. A nexus of various realities and timelines, but predominantly? It is a prison.

[Voice]

[faithfulflame]

[She's begun to gather that from what she's seen from flipping through the journal, but that last line...it makes her think of the enemy]

A prison? Who's prison? The Dark Kingdom?

[Video]

[selphie_t]

[Selphie smile sympathetically at the newcomer before shaking her head a little bit.]

Sorry but this isn't an illusion. This place is known as Luceti.

[Video]

[faithfulflame]

[Not being entirely helpful, but she's gathered that its real enough]

I've got that much from others, but not much else And...what? Where...IS it? And how do I get back to where I was? I was in the middle of something extremely important!

[Video]

[selphie_t]

I wish I knew myself and the only way out that I know of is when the Malnosso are finished with you. Otherwise, you're stuck with the rest of us and a lot of people were in the middle of important stuff so you're not the only one there.

[Video]

[faithfulflame]

Oh...well...[Thats not good...Usagi might really need me back home...]

I...am at a loss then. My friends really needed me. And now I'm stuck here? Does this mean the mission is a failure? [That last bit is mumbled, like she's talking to herself, forgetting the feed is on]

[ video ]

[magentarific]

Wait, you just got here and you're worried about a pen? Seriously?

[ video ]

[faithfulflame]

[Rei GLARES at the camera]

Its. Important. Its something VERY important.

[ video ]

[magentarific]

What, did your first crush give it to you or something?

[ Waha, teasing.. ]

[ video ]

[faithfulflame]

[Continuing to glare at the camera]

No. You wouldn't understand.

[Back to searching...]
