[ Oh look, jamming the door shut! This is super serious! ... Well, of course it is. From what Yosuke could gather from that night alone, this isn't the kind of talk you'd just go spreading around.
He claims one of the other chairs for himself, listening intently - which is pretty easy to do, given how outrageous her explanation already is. ]
And that's the basics, huh? ... So, wait, Martian? Like, actual-- [ Lightbulb moment! ] Hey, the title floating over your head when I first saw you here!
[Shaking her head, she taps her chest and it honestly starts to freaking glow]
I didn't awaken to my divine powers until I was fifteen. When I met Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury. They helped me wake up, remember some things...and take my proper place. My onmyouji abilities and psychic abilities are something I grew up with, or learned, but it wasn't until my past life came back that I had those talents.
[ That glow makes his eyes go wide, and he tries not to stare, but it's hard. So if his eyes keep flicking away from hers and back down to that glow, uh, he's sorry especially since it's 10000% not what it could look like were that glow not there ]
Amnesia, sort of? Repressed memories? I... guess that makes sense, if it's a whole other life. So then, why now? Or, well, when it happened - why then? Was there a reason?
[She lowers her hand, and the glow stopped. She'd wanted to call attention to it.]
That's a bit of a long story. But I have time. You know how I said other people like me existed? There's one Sailor Senshi per planet, and one for the moon. But we're far from the only supernatural beings in our world. This will need some context.
[She smiles sadly, her voice growing more rich, mature...older somehow. If she didn't have a commanding presence before, now she certainly did, as she gave over to the memories.]
A long, long, long time ago? Before the Ice Age...that was when our past lives existed, as the Guardian Goddesses of various things. It was an age called the Silver Millennium, where we all worked together and lived on the Moon, as residents of The Moon Kingdom.
[ His mouth makes a silent "Wow," at her explanation. ]
Lived... on the moon. [ Beat. ] I'd ask how, but if you guys were goddesses, then that's probably all the explanation that's really needed. So there's really a kingdom on the moon?
[ He's not exactly thinking about how kingdoms can potentially fall - clearly that logic doesn't apply to moon kingdoms, right...? ]
There was magic in the kingdom, yes. Power enough to rewrite the rules as we saw fit. We lived there for...I don't even know how long. On each planet, there was a castle, a population, all of that.
[She smiles sadly.]
But the Silver Millennium ended. The kingdom is gone, a ruin hidden within the Sea of Serenity. The large crater visible some nights, if you don't know what I mean. That used to be filled with water, smooth as glass. Hence the name.

Correct. I am an actual Martian. The title was a little on the nose. [A smirk.]
Surprised you didn't put two and two together earlier. But then I guess it's pretty outlandish, isn't it?
no subject
Considering what they stuck me with? I was trying to pretend they weren't all so, you know, on the nose.
[ S I G H. ]
So, reincarnated... have you always known about this? Like, did you grow up being able to transform into Mars like that? Whenever?
