Adjusting to her new place

[flamescout]

You got me in and that's great and all, but you should just give up your expectations based on canon and let me connect with other people. Chad's not going to show up. Some of the other scouts might, but they don't need to be here. You also should have applied for me after you finished watching Sailor Moon S, but I guess I can understand why you didn't. I'd rather meet the undubbed versions of Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune.

Now go get some sleep already, will you? You're going to be really busy for the rest of the month and if you don't get your rest now, you'll be dragging your sorry self around town and complaining all week!

[ Pulling up in a swirl of rose petals, a motorcycle skids to a stop. ]

You called?

[ The rider tugs her helmet off. Cue BGM. ]

[flamescout]

[Ears start bleeding why why

Hi, Haruka.

[Browbeating her mun is constant and draining, so the chance to chat with people from her own world is a welcome relief.]

Keeping busy?

[actsmagnificent]

[ By this point Haruka's stopped noticing it. Doesn't everyone have a dramatically pastel theme song? She shrugs. ]

Your plate sounds fuller. Don't go losing sleep on me again, okay? It'll dim your beauty.

[ ...yeah, Haruka is doing just fine. ]

[flamescout]

[At least it's not as bad as the individual transformation elevator music theme songs.]

Yeah, a little! Seems like there are a lot of psychopaths running around this place.

[Oh you, there you go again making the scouts feel good about themselves stop it some more. Raye puts a hand to her cheek.]

I'll be all right. I'm surprised how much free time opens up when school is out of the picture.

[actsmagnificent]

[ Haruka chuckles. She actually knows the feeling, having not bothered to enroll anywhere else after her last school ended up being a front for an alien invasion.

Plus, you're surprisingly optimistic. Optimists are cute. ]

You're the first person I've heard treating this like a vacation.

[flamescout]

Well, gotta say it's nice not to worry about heart snatchers and Negaverse creeps lurking around every corner. I just don't like the uncertainty right now.

[actsmagnificent]

[ The dub terms lose her for a moment, but Haruka gets the gist. She thinks. ]

Because you're new to your game?

[flamescout]

Well, that and I don't have a clue what any of us are doing here in the first place. There doesn't seem to be any real purpose, and I don't have the Sacred Flame to show me any signs.

[actsmagnificent]

[ Ah yes, seer issues. Haruka sighs, adopting a worldly, relaxed air. It's so easy to advise from a distance! ]

Isn't that all right? What matters is what you make of it.

[ Here's another one of those scintillating grins. ] You've always struck me as the proactive type.

[flamescout]

Well, that's true, I guess.

[And she's definitely done some sleuthing, even if she hasn't turned up any worthwhile information.]

Wish you guys were here just the same, though.

[actsmagnificent]

Then consider this your chance to stand on your own.

[ Her chin lifts a bit haughtily. ]

I won't say "I know you can do it", but.....impress me.

[flamescout]

[Raye huffs a little, tossing her head.]

That's one thing I'm actually good at.

[A little TOO good at it, unfortunately. That girl needs to get out more and start trusting people.]

[actsmagnificent]

[ For a moment she can almost hear Michiru choosing to misinterpret that. But she'll let it slide. ]

I'll look forward to it.
