[Rei...are you really telling him about a potential tool that could revive people? He's immediately hung up on that, committing the name to memory even as he builds the mental timeline for himself.]

So Sailor Moon only survived because you guys protected her and the seal in the sun was made whole so Metalia can't come back. And you guys came back without having to go through the rebirth cycle because of some thing that the princess had. Can it be used more than once? And what came after the Metalia?
zerotohiro: (Shut up)

Whoa...[All of that's a little mind-boggling. He can ask about that tool much later because a tenth planet? He's studied space enough to know that she's right, it's something astronomers have never discovered but at the same time maybe it's just not something in his universe. Still, Tellus exists. Who's to say other planets don't really exist?]

Time travel's something some people are still working on at home and it's actually a cool concept, but what does it really have to do with Nemesis and the anti-Senshi or whoever they really are?
zerotohiro: (Can…I help you?)

[personal profile] zerotohiro 2015-11-12 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
[...what.]

Okay. [That's really all he can say at first because hooooo boy, Rei, that is a lot to wrap his big brain around.] Okay. So...Crystal Tokyo was basically utopia until this Death Phantom guy tried to destroy everything and got himself isolated. And then he was less isolated when the rest of his army joined him on Nemesis and so the Queen...Sailor Moon? I guess? Had a kid with the prince and so because she knew that the 30th century was in huge trouble she sent her daughter and the life-revival weapon back to the 20th century because she knew what was coming and wanted to prepare you guys.

Which means that the daughter was with you guys and a younger version of Sailor Moon...how'd that work out? [He's giving her a look, checking that his facts are right as he's trying to really force himself to believe all of this is 100% real.]
zerotohiro: (No kidding?)

this canon is amazing.

[personal profile] zerotohiro 2015-11-16 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Strangely enough he doesn't have questions this time. It all makes perfect sense to him. Why wouldn't the Guardian of Time be the one to fix everything? Why wouldn't mother and daughter work with Venus to save the other senshi? It all makes perfect sense. A real heroic epic tale. Complicated, yes, but it still makes enough sense that he can accept it with very little questioning.]

And then after a few months...what? Something else, or you guys wound up here?
zerotohiro: (Sure)

[personal profile] zerotohiro 2015-11-18 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely not. [Heroes never have short and quick stories and just like before he's listening with rapt attention. The longer Rei talks the easier it becomes to absorb everything that's being told and it works as a nice distraction from the things that have happened here. It's fascinating to hear about the way other people work, the experience they've had and compare them to his own.

That accounts for all of the planets plus the small moon. The core group are Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter. Saturn's the guardian of silence. Pluto of time. Uranus and Neptune showed up to fight against other aliens. People being different than other people thought and that is where things get complicated but sure. Reincarnation.]


...can I ask you something, Rei? All of the people these monsters and stuff hurt, do they remember all of this later? Did the scientist remember being tricked and the things that happened to them? How do you guys even keep all of this a secret with everything happening?
zerotohiro: ([CA] Cause y'all know nothin but my name)

[personal profile] zerotohiro 2015-11-18 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Both the fortunate and unfortunate part of being a hero, huh? You can keep your identity secret but sometimes things are still out of your hands to fix. [There's a short pause, debating if he wants to bring this piece up.]

...but I think I get it. There were some things that happened back home that were unavoidable, too. People who were too corrupted to avoid being punished...but the punishment changed. I changed my mind.

That's all part of our job though. Making sure normal people can go on with their lives and not worry about stuff like that. I guess I'm just...sorry it happened for you guys. It's a lot to deal with on top of trying to be one of the normal people.
zerotohiro: (Thanks for not giving up on me)

[personal profile] zerotohiro 2015-11-23 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
...probably, but give me some time to really process all of it, okay? This is all stuff that Tadashi and I have grown up hearing about but it was all...you know. Made up. [Anime and manga and who knows what else.] Knowing that it's real and that it's happened to somebody I actually know is sort of a mind-blower. But I appreciate you telling me everything. [There's a tiny grin.] I know it's not easy to tell somebody your entire life story.
zerotohiro: (Tough choices)

[personal profile] zerotohiro 2015-11-24 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
[And that causes him to pause, a strange and uneasy look crossing his features. Right...that would be fair, wouldn't it? But at the same time...there's a lot of reasons why he's not certain he can tell Rei everything about home. It was a miracle that Ruby knew at all. Still, he forces a weak grin to replace the look and he nods, even if he's hunching a bit to curl in on himself a little.]

Right. Fair exchanges are...really fair. [Hiro what.] I think I'm ready for the last part and then I'll ask all of my questions.
zerotohiro: (They are here)

aaaah Im sorry this is so late

[personal profile] zerotohiro 2015-12-01 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Even as she prefaces it with that, he seems to get exactly why she wasn't present much. He doesn't interrupt as he takes in the last piece of the story.

Sailor Starlights. The fact that there are other Sailor Senshi that weren't the ones working for the the queen of the moon is ominous in and of itself. It screams "impostors!" and it makes him vaguely uncomfortable to know that there were people capable of stealing whole identities somehow. Powers. Things that couldn't be predicted.

But no. Somehow it gets worse and he has to wonder why. Why do these things happen to good people who're destined to fight and save the world? (He knows the answer. It's how things go. Those bound to protect are the ones who're targeted. It still isn't a good feeling.)]


Galaxia. [He repeats the name slowly. It's under his breath, too, so that Rei can continue telling the story and it…worries him to think that someone like Galaxia could be brought to Tellus. If someone could crush five of the most powerful beings in the galaxy, how did other people stand a chance? They didn't. It makes him want to ask more questions and learn more but…it's not the time.]

So…the Cauldron's basically the center of the universe and because Sailor Moon stopped Galaxia everyone was able to have their life restemmed from the Cauldron and start again. And there hasn't been anything since then? Everything went back to…well, whatever normal is for a Sailor Senshi.

[There's a tentative grin.] And then you woke up here. …is it bad to say that at least everything helped prepare you at least a little for the things here? [Not everything. Nothing could fully prepare them for Cerealia, but some are more equip than others. He knows Rei is. He believes he is, too, in some cases.]
zerotohiro: ([armor] Sweet)

[personal profile] zerotohiro 2015-12-04 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Good. I know he'll come back because worlds can't exist without Chaos but it's like trying to put together grains of sand. It'll take a while. [Hiro what.

But he can definitely empathize with that and resonate with it. He likes a lot of people in Cerealia, but the level of trust is also something he's iffy about.]
I think the only person here I can really completely trust right now is Tadashi. But that's pretty obvious. [He's weirdly not embarrassed about admitting that.] I trust other people here, too, even if I'm not used to checking in with them or telling them what I'm doing. Sometimes it's better to ask for forgiveness later than put people in danger immediately.

[Bad ideas. Bad, bad ideas.] I can help people here. Me and Baymax both and maybe we're not like you guys but I think that's what makes the colony really cool. We can always regroup and help each other when things get too bad. [Even if he still believes he's bigger than he is and that people must be protected.] And you know? Mars is pretty sweet.
zerotohiro: (Well whadaya know)

[personal profile] zerotohiro 2015-12-07 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
If I think it's that dangerous and something I can't handle, I'll definitely set up something to ask you guys for back-up. I'll be as careful as I can. [It's what he can do. He doesn't even quite trust himself, really. He can't help but chuckle at her repetition of the word.]

I forgot you're from, like, ancient times. [He thinks that might be it.] It's just that she's really cool, you know? Why wouldn't I think that? But I like having you as a friend, too. [He's met both of them, and he likes both of them, but for different reasons. He hopes Rei understands.]
zerotohiro: (Thanks for not giving up on me)

[personal profile] zerotohiro 2015-12-07 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well she's not wrong. But he won't admit it.]

I think that's a good idea. We'll get together again soon though. I'll make sure of it.
