Possibly forever homeless

[solomonjihad]

But miss...how can I help save the world if I'm here? Lilith...she will miss me terribly...




I...I suppose Tsukino-san might too but...look, as long as I'm here, let's not talk about any of that, ok?

Comments

[buntails]

[Tsukino-san herself peers rather curiously at the newcomer. She'll just be ignoring the comment about saving the world because people aren't supposed to know about the senshi! Her face is rather blank.]

Eh? Have we met before?

1/2

[solomonjihad]

[At the sight of the girl, Astarte's expression changes, ever so briefly. She stares almost coldly.]

Ha...you...

2/2

[solomonjihad]

[The expression very quickly turns back, and Astarte turns away, looking slightly abashed. Maybe even upset.]

...Oh...you don't remember me?

[buntails]

[She didn't mean to- what should she do?]

Ah! But it's probably not that I forgot. I couldn't forget a friend, right? [They... are friends... she hopes; Usagi makes the assumption easily, at least.]

It's probably just that we haven't met yet, where I'm from. Sometimes we come here from different times. [Give her credit for a reasonable explanation, at least.]

[solomonjihad]

...Different times? You mean, like...you could be from the past?

How...?

[It was important to know in case Lilith asked.]

[buntails]

I don't really understand it, but it's happened before. And you know me, so it might be the same.

[solomonjihad]

...I see.

Actually, I'm a first year student. I just transferred to your school; that's how I know you.

[buntails]

So that's why... [Except wait, isn't that still a bit strange? It's probably nothing, though.]

I hope everyone's been helping you out and you've been making a lot of friends.

[solomonjihad]

...Well, I...

[Oh how can it be strange? Everyone knows Usagi. She's failed so many tests, that reputation's bound to spread.

The down look on Astarte's face, on the other hand, suggests that the making lots of friends part is, well, lacking.]

[buntails]

[Oh, she knows that face. She's seen it on other people before now, people who became friends.]

Then to start, let's get to know each other all over again.

[solomonjihad]

...Ok.

[She nods.]

Aah...I'm Shiva Shingetsu Astarte.

[buntails]

Then... Shi-chan, maybe? I can call you that. [This comes with a smile as quick as the nickname.]

[solomonjihad]

Shi...chan?

[This was...odd. Even back home, Usagi wasn't as quick to give her a term of endearment. Astarte actually looks a bit stunned.]

[buntails]

[The -chan was inevitable. The nickname... might partly be motivated from the name being very difficult to say and remember. She's sorry.]

And you can call me Usagi-chan. [Because nothing is wrong with these names, right?]

[solomonjihad]

...All right...Usagi-chan.

[buntails]

The Lilith you mentioned, is she a friend of yours? You might be able to see her here still.

[solomonjihad]

Lilith...

[Her face lights up slightly. But, can she really get into details with this person? Of course not.]

Well, she's not exactly a friend. But, she takes care of me.

[buntails]

That's what friends do for each other.

[solomonjihad]

Friends...

Well, no. She's not a friend. She's...she's more like my mother.

[Nod.]

[buntails]

[All the more reason, then!]

If I ever meet her somehow, I'll tell her you were looking for her.

I'm guessing you're from PGSM?

[lead_shitennou]

Who might you be?

Nope, Myu!

[solomonjihad]

...

[She gets a little defensive. Something about this person...wasn't right.]

Why?

Re: Ah, forgive me >_<

[lead_shitennou]

I am just curious. [She looked like Sailor Mercury. That annoying water senshi brat.]
