Dream Crisis Saga: Part 1: Sleepless

[11:39] * @spiritflame changes topic to `Haruka and Michiru`
[11:39] * --=[ SpeedRcrX ]=-- rolls over in bed
[11:39] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Michi, what about Hotaru-chan?
[11:39] <Mdm_Maestro> I hope not.
[11:40] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> I mean she *did* beat up Jedite every time eh got near him, and she has been acting weird lately
[11:40] * Mdm_Maestro yawns
[11:41] <Mdm_Maestro> Yes, but she was with us in chat.
[11:41] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> That's true. But she showed up later than everyone, after the movie.
[11:42] <Mdm_Maestro> Haruka, I've been pondering it all night.
[11:42] * Mdm_Maestro snuggles closer
[11:42] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Me too. Something ain't right with all this.
[11:43] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Damn. I can't move.
[11:43] <Mdm_Maestro> I'm tired too.
[11:43] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Yeah well staying awake all night thinking about the weaknesses of your *friends* is f[BLEEP]king draining.
[11:44] <Mdm_Maestro> But we may have to go against any one of them, Haruka.
[11:44] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> rei.bot's scary tough. I don't think she can be killed.
[11:45] <Mdm_Maestro> We'll coem up with something, dear. Your problem is you're too headstrong at times. Rushing in when a more subtle approach will do.
[11:45] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Dude she just *stopped* Galaxia's starseed extractors. You slice her, she reforms. She can shapeshift. She's got infinite energy AND spiritual powers.
[11:46] <Mdm_Maestro> But she thinks, Haruka. Which means she reacts. Which means we can still manipulate her reactions. There's always a way to win.
[11:47] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> I hate to say it, but how many times have *we( f[BLEEP]king won on our own. It's a sore point, but Mistress 9 caught us and so did Galaxia.
[11:47] <Mdm_Maestro> Only because there were factors we didn't plan on. Usagi. And Galaxia's true nature, for example.
[11:48] <Mdm_Maestro> The key is more planning and intelligence gathering.
[11:48] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Man I hate planning.
[11:48] <Mdm_Maestro> Only fools rush in, Haruka.
[11:51] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Michi, you're a s[BLEEP]tty cook, you pick on me all the time, and you're a neat freak...
[11:51] <Mdm_Maestro> Oh? (raises an eyebrow)
[11:52] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> ...and I'll rush in anywhere, as long as you're with me.
[11:52] <Mdm_Maestro> Likewise.
[11:53] * @spiritflame changes topic to `Minako and Xadium`
[11:54] * @Dr_Xadium is staring up at the ceiling
[11:54] <@Dr_Xadium> Mina... it's almost noon
[11:55] <C'est_la_V> ...
[11:55] <@Dr_Xadium> You usually get up by 11:30...
[11:55] <C'est_la_V> ...I don't see you getting up either.
[11:56] <@Dr_Xadium> I haven't slept.
[11:56] * C'est_la_V neither
[11:56] <C'est_la_V> X-chan, they're doing it again.
[11:56] <@Dr_Xadium> Mina, that's too much information.
[11:56] <C'est_la_V> Baka, stop being ecchi, that's not what I mean.
[11:57] <@Dr_Xadium> Sometimes it's hard to tell with you. Honestly.
[11:57] * C'est_la_V is not joking around
[11:57] <C'est_la_V> Haruka-san and Michiru-san... they're doing it again. Plotting things all by themselves.
[11:57] <@Dr_Xadium> ...
[11:58] <C'est_la_V> They NEVER learn. Whenever spit hits the plan, they circle the flagons and retreat into their own little world.
[11:58] * @Dr_Xadium won't bother correcting
[11:59] <C'est_la_V> It's like the rest of us are meaningless to them, it's their way or the byway...
[11:59] <@Dr_Xadium> Mina...
[12:00] <C'est_la_V> Keh. Back in the day Usagi-chan had us and Mamoru-san to balance Haruka-san, Michiru-san and Setsuna-san out, but now I'm the only one here...
[12:00] <@Dr_Xadium> You're not alone, Mina.
[12:01] <C'est_la_V> X-chan, no offense but you can't do anything against them.
[12:01] * @Dr_Xadium sighs
[12:02] <@Dr_Xadium> That aside, you're still not alone. There's Hotaru and rei.bot, Artemis, Chibusa and Tomoe. Maybe even Jedite.
[12:02] * C'est_la_V shakes her head.
[12:03] <C'est_la_V> rei.bot-chan is being neutral. Tomoe-san is too unstable, I don't trust him... Artemis thinks I'm *dead*, Chibiusa-chan looks out only for herself and so does Jedite... and Hotaru-chan...
[12:03] * C'est_la_V goes quiet.
[12:03] * @Dr_Xadium turns and hugs her close "Minako..."
[12:04] * C'est_la_V sighs
[12:05] <C'est_la_V> You think they'd learn after what happened with Galaxia, but all they do is rely on each other and shut us out. And I worry they'll do something stupid again... I respect them as people but as Senshi they stink when it comes to working as a team.
[12:05] <@Dr_Xadium> That's too harsh, Mina. They work well as a team... *their* team. They just don't work well with *your* team.
[12:06] <C'est_la_V> Yes but in battle teams have to work together... but now I don't even have a team...
[12:06] <@Dr_Xadium> :(
[12:06] <C'est_la_V> I'm really worried...
[12:07] * @Dr_Xadium runs his fingers through her hair "Try to get some rest, sweetheart."
[12:07] <C'est_la_V> You too... I think things are going to get spicy soon...
[12:07] <@Dr_Xadium> Sadly, I think you mean "dicey"...
[12:07] <C'est_la_V> That too...
[12:08] * C'est_la_V snuggles next to her husband and tries to sleep
[12:08] * @Dr_Xadium holds her, but cannot sleep
[12:08] * @spiritflame changes topic to `Hotaru and Chibiusa`
[12:09] <.`~SugaBB_2999~`.> hay horatru///
[12:09] <FireFly_9> I can't believe you made me take the cot, Chibiusa.
[12:09] <.`~SugaBB_2999~`.> sat da fack up, u kno i hava bed bak
[12:10] <FireFly_9> I find that claim highly spurious.
[12:10] <.`~SugaBB_2999~`.> i'ym passed horatru
[12:11] <FireFly_9> I noticed you hadn't slept.
[12:11] <.`~SugaBB_2999~`.> i kno u hatad elioz bat hi wuz da frist gui who laved mi
[12:11] <FireFly_9> He was just using you, Chibiusa. For his desires.
[12:12] <.`~SugaBB_2999~`.> bat elioz wazn't alweys lik dat
[12:12] <FireFly_9> Stockholm syndrome.

[12:14] <.`~SugaBB_2999~`.> rite it wuz lik sumting changed in ham n hi becam a ganstar rapper bed boi
[12:14] <FireFly_9> ...

[12:14] <FireFly_9> Ugh.
[12:15] <.`~SugaBB_2999~`.> horatru i kno u dnt lik ham bat i at leest owa ham revange....
[12:15] <FireFly_9> I didn't like him. Indeed, I've wounded him on more than one occassion... but that level of savagery... I would not wish that on anyone, even him.
[12:16] <.`~SugaBB_2999~`.> horatru-chun, even tho i tret u lik sit sumtimes ur stal mai best frend...
[12:16] <FireFly_9> Because I see potential in you, Chibiusa-chan. And you were very kind to me in the past.

[12:24] <FireFly_9> Even if you were chasing after every man you saw? Clinging to people's legs and doing unmentionable things?
[12:24] <.`~SugaBB_2999~`.> deres who i went 2 plesure mi n who i luv its daffrent
[12:25] <FireFly_9> I don't really understand that. I always looked at love as a sacred commitment to one.
[12:25] <.`~SugaBB_2999~`.> lav n last ken b 2 saprite thangs
[12:26] <FireFly_9> ...I don't understand, but I can appreciate the sentiment of wanting to avenge someone you care for.
[12:27] <FireFly_9> I will help you.
[12:27] <.`~SugaBB_2999~`.> ^_^
[12:27] * FireFly_9 and Chibiusa shake hands
[12:30] * @spiritflame changes topic to `Artemis and Tomoe`
[12:31] * =^catablanca^= paces around the body, trying not to smell
[12:31] <=^catablanca^=> Whoever did this was savage...
[12:32] <GERMATOID> NO IT JUST LOOKS SAVAGE. THESE WERE SURGICAL CUTS.
[12:32] <GERMATOID> WHOEVER DID THIS DID THE CUTTING TO MAXIMIZE THE TIME HE WAS IN AGONY
[12:33] * =^catablanca^= looks at the pile of organs on the floor and winces
[12:33] <GERMATOID> THEY CUT HIM OPEN AND PULLED OUT ONE ORGAN AT A TIME SO HE COULD SEE HISMELF BEING EVISCERATED
[12:33] <=^catablanca^=> Unbelievable.
[12:35] <=^catablanca^=> I wish Minako was here...
[12:35] <GERMATOID> SHE'S ALIVE, YOU KNOW
[12:35] <=^catablanca^=> No she's not... she's dead...
[12:36] * GERMATOID SLAMS ARTEMIS WITH A CRESCENT WRENCH
[12:36] <=^catablanca^=> @_@
[12:40] <GERMATOID> THIS KILLER TOOK HIS TIME, DRAINED ALL THE BLOOD FROM THE BODY AND SAWED OUT THE CRYSTAL EVEN MORE CLEANLY THAN I DID THAT ONE TIME...
[12:42] <=^catablanca^=> Minako... alive?
[12:42] <GERMATOID> "MINAKO *IS* ALIVE"
[12:43] <=^catablanca^=> Minako's ALIVE!! (cries) Minako!!
[12:43] <GERMATOID> ARTEMIS, CALM DOWN! WE NEED THE CATMAN!
[12:43] * =^catablanca^= looks at tomoe, his eyes narrowing
[12:43] * =^catablanca^= is now known as The Catman
[12:44] * The Catman furls his cape around him dramatically
[12:44] <The Catman> Yes, now that my mind is clear, the Catman can use all the detectice skills he learned training the famous Sailor V to help crack this case!
[12:44] <GERMATOID> MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAAH!
[12:49] * The Catman sniffs the corpse
[12:49] <GERMATOID> THAT'S GROSS
[12:49] <The Catman> I can track the scent of the killer
[12:49] <GERMATOID> WHOA
[12:49] * @spiritflame changes topic to `rei.bot and jedite`
[12:49] * // J_Daito // appears in a haze of cool CGI
[12:50] * @spiritflame regards him curiously
[12:51] <// J_Daito //> Is this all what I think it is.
[12:51] <@spiritflame> now what will you do jedite
[12:57] <// J_Daito //> I... don't know.
[12:59] <@spiritflame> so there is hope for you yet
[13:00] * // J_Daito // enfolds himself in his cape and vanishes in a haze of cool CGI

[10:07] * Sailor Saturn is watching Satellite television, following the US election
[10:07] * Sailor Venus comes out of the TARDIS slowly "Ohayo..."
[10:07] <Sailor Saturn> Good morning.
[10:08] <Sailor Saturn> Minako-sempai, you look horrible...
[10:08] * Sailor Venus hasn't slept in two days, ever since this thing got started.
[10:08] <Sailor Saturn> Nor have I.
[10:08] <@Dr_Xadium> Minako hasn't detransformed, either.
[10:09] <Sailor Saturn> As I see.
[10:09] <Sailor Venus> I have to (yawn) be ready to fight this thing at any time...
[10:09] <@Dr_Xadium> Mina, you know it's not good to be transformed for so long...
[10:09] <Sailor Venus> I can handle it.
[10:10] <Sailor Saturn> You might get too used to the extra strength and heightened senses, and not be able to handle it when you go back...
[10:10] <Sailor Venus> I said I *know*.
[10:11] <@Dr_Xadium> When I first met Mina, there was one time she didn't drop the transformation for three days.
[10:11] <Sailor Venus> X-chan, be quiet.
[10:11] * @Dr_Xadium quiets down.
[10:12] <Sailor Venus> Gomen, I just get very grouchy when I don't get rest...
[10:12] <Sailor Saturn> I must confess to being a little punch drunk myself...
[10:12] <Sailor Saturn> Are we going to cover these elections?
[10:12] * Sailor Venus laughs
[10:13] <Sailor Saturn> What is it, sempai?
[10:14] <Sailor Venus> If you were Kim Jong iL from "Team America World Police" saying that line it would sound so "Velly wlong"
[10:14] <Sailor Saturn> "Monitoling those er..." GAH!
[10:14] * Sailor Venus chuckles
[10:15] <Sailor Saturn> So Xadium, you're the political scientist, what is it that you wanted to say about these American elections...
[10:15] * @Dr_Xadium is a bit distracted, has seen gallifreyan intelligence reports on the revised Dalek upgrades.
[10:16] <Sailor Saturn> Daleks?
[10:20] <Sailor Saturn> I have never found Daleks all that menacing, myself.
[10:21] <@Dr_Xadium> Because you've never had to go against them. Cunning, ruthless creatures.
[10:21] <.`~SugaBB_2999~`.> hay biches
[10:21] <Sailor Venus> Hi Chibiusa-chan...
[10:21] * .`~SugaBB_2999~`. is now known as Sailer Chibomoan
[10:21] * Sailer Chibomoan is now known as Sailer Chibimoan
[10:22] <Sailor Saturn> You did that twice and *still* got it wrong ¬_¬;
[10:22] <Sailer Chibimoan> sat da fick pu,. horatru...
[10:23] <Sailer Chibimoan> i went a funreals 4 elioz...
[10:23] <@Dr_Xadium> There shall be one after the autopsy.
[10:23] * The Catman swoops in
[10:23] <Sailer Chibimoan> hay atremis
[10:24] * The Catman leaps into Mina's lap
[10:24] <Sailor Venus> Eh?? Do you see me??
[10:24] * The Catman cries a little and snuggles in her lap "Mina...!! You're alive!!"
[10:24] <Sailor Venus> He sees me T_T (pets him)
[10:25] * @Dr_Xadium is happy they are a team again
[10:25] <Sailor Venus> So are you going to stop being batman??
[10:25] <The Catman> (archly) _Catman_
[10:25] <The Catman> And no, I feel like I can do some good
[10:26] * The Catman looks at Mina in shock
[10:26] <Sailor Venus> Nani??
[10:26] <The Catman> Your scent...
[10:26] * Sailor Venus turns red
[10:26] * @Dr_Xadium turns red too
[10:26] <Sailor Saturn> Good grief...
[10:27] <The Catman> This can't be...
[10:27] <Sailor Venus> Well I couldn't sleep... ehehehehe
[10:27] <The Catman> Your scent matches that of the killer!!
[10:27] * The Catman leaps off her
[10:27] <Sailor Venus> What!? That's not possible!!
[10:28] <Sailer Chibimoan> Wat da fick?!
[10:28] * The Catman spins around, sniffing at Chibiusa
[10:28] <The Catman> You too!!
[10:28] <Sailer Chibimoan> Y da fick wuld *I* kall Pagasuz!?
[10:29] * The Catman sniffs Xadium "Something's wrong with my nose! I can't tell!!" (begins to panic)
[10:29] <Sailor Venus> Artemis, calm down!!
[10:29] <The Catman> Who's that? Whos' talking to me?! It sounds like Mina, but she's dead!
[10:30] <Sailor Venus> What the... he forgot?!
[10:30] <The Catman> i   a m   s t i l l   h e r e
[10:30] <Sailor Venus> Masaka!!

[10:31] <Sailer Chibimoan> moan healing ezclashun
[10:32] * The Catman is hit by the purifying beam
[10:32] <Sailor Venus> t o o   l a t e   b * t c h
[10:32] <@Dr_Xadium> Mina?!
[10:32] * Sailor Venus passes out
[10:33] * @Dr_Xadium catches her
[10:33] <Sailor Saturn> I don't understand this new enemy....
[11:48] * Sailor Saturn 's head hurts
[11:48] <Sailor Saturn> I'm sorry. I haven't slept in 48 hours. I can't think about this nonsense right now.
[11:48] <Sailor Venus> Hotaru-chan is snappy...
[11:49] <@Dr_Xadium> The supreme court refuses to rule on the challengers. Way to ensure the smooth operation of the electoral process.
[11:49] * Sailor Venus SLAPS X-chan HARD
[11:49] * @Dr_Xadium goes flying over the sofa
[11:50] <Sailor Venus> Gomen nasai!! (looks at her hand in shock)
[11:50] <Sailor Saturn> Why did you do that, Minako-sempai?
[11:50] <Sailor Venus> I don't... know...
[11:50] * @Dr_Xadium gets up slowly
[11:50] <Sailor Venus> Are you all right, X-chan?? I'm so sorry!!
[11:51] <@Dr_Xadium> Remind me... never to anger you...
[11:51] * @Dr_Xadium thinks his jaw might be broken
[11:51] * Sailor Saturn goes and heals him
[11:51] <Sailor Venus> I forgot my own strength...
[11:51] <Sailor Saturn> *That's* why it's not good to stay transformed...
[11:52] <Sailor Venus> What the HELL am I supposed to do!? This thing gets in our heads even more when we sleep!! I can;t STAND THIS!!
[11:52] * @Dr_Xadium goes in the TARDIS
[11:52] <Sailor Venus> X-chan, wait...
[11:52] <Sailor Venus> Don;t go!!
[11:52] * @Dr_Xadium rigs up a psionic dampener
[11:52] * Sailor Venus slumps down on V. Sofa.
[11:53] <Sailor Saturn> I don't think he's leaving, sempai.
[11:53] * @Dr_Xadium activates the damping field.
[11:53] <@Dr_Xadium> This should block out any psionic attacks for te time being, but it's a bit dodgy.
[11:54] <Sailor Venus> Does that mean we can sleep??
[11:54] <@Dr_Xadium> For a time, I have no idea how long the field will hold out
[11:54] * Sailor Venus nods
[11:54] * Sailor Saturn is now known as FireFly_9
[11:54] <FireFly_9> I welcome the oblivion of sleep.
[11:54] * FireFly_9 passes out
[11:55] * Sailor Venus curls up on the sofa and leans her head on X-chan's lap
[11:55] <@Dr_Xadium> Aren't you going to detransform?
[11:55] <Sailor Venus> Oh, you want to see that eh? (giggles)
[11:55] <@Dr_Xadium> Mina, I'm worried about you staying transformed...
[11:56] <Sailor Venus> Daijobu... (starts to snore)
[11:56] <@Dr_Xadium> /em rests his head on hers and falls asleep too
[11:56] * the TARDIS damping field crackles dangerously...

Topic is -= Ever heard of dying in your sleep? =-

[17:15] <> ? Haruka-tachi are getting some well-deserved rest after the recent spate of strange psychic attacks on them, protected by the psionic damping field from Dr. Xadium's TARDIS
[17:16] * The damping field crackles and hisses, then coruscates once in a flash of brillant blue, blazing and burning out as the TARDIS console erupts in a shower of sparks.
[17:16] * The Damping field has failed.
[17:24] * @spiritflame changes topic to `Haruka Dream`
[17:27] * --=[ SpeedRcrX ]=-- is in the c[BLEEP]kpit of a Formula-1 racer, pushing 300kph
[17:28] * --=[ SpeedRcrX ]=-- grits her teeth as she zooms past several racers in a blur, smiling tautly as the finish line comes into view
[17:29] * --=[ SpeedRcrX ]=-- smiles as she sees a sea-blue painted racer pull up to her left; the driver is Michiru, who turns her head to her and gives a thumbs up
[17:30] * --=[ SpeedRcrX ]=-- hears another racer pull up to her other side, it is purple. Hotaru is the driver. Hotaru turns her head to Haruka and smiles.
[17:31] * --=[ SpeedRcrX ]=-- smiles and refocuses on the finish line.
[17:40] * --=[ SpeedRcrX ]=-- sees a vision of a newspaper headline: "TEN'OU HARUKA WINS HER LAST RACE". She smiles at the picture of her, Michiru, Sets and Hotaru as a family.
[17:45] * --=[ SpeedRcrX ]=-- 's eyes widen as she suddenly sees the faces of the happy family in the photo turn to skulls.
[17:46] * There is a roaring noise from behind Haruka's car
[17:46] * --=[ SpeedRcrX ]=-- looks backwards, just in time to see a black racer zoom forward, SMASHING between her car and Hotaru's, SLAMMING Hotaru's car into the wall, where it EXPLODES!
[17:47] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> HOTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUU!!
[17:48] * --=[ SpeedRcrX ]=-- is suddenly out of her body, seeing Michiru giving her the thumbs up just as her car veers to the right, clipping Michiru's car, the two vehicles going up in a fireball.
[17:48] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> No.... No...... NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
[17:52] * --=[ SpeedRcrX ]=-- sees the headline on the paper change to "TEN'OU HARUKA KILLED IN HER LAST RACE, FAMILY DIES IN RACEWAY TRAGEDY"
[17:52] * --=[ SpeedRcrX ]=-- wakes up in a cold sweat, her heart pounding in her chest
[17:54] * @spiritflame changes topic to `Michiru dream`
[17:57] * Mdm_Maestro is on stage, playing "The Devil's Trill" on her violin
[17:59] * Mdm_Maestro watches as Haruka, Hotaru and the others sit in the front row of the audience, watching her play.
[17:59] * Mdm_Maestro plays more and more passionately, putting her very soul into the music
[17:59] * Generic members of the audience stand, turn and begin to walk away.
[18:00] * Mdm_Maestro sees this, but does not care-- Haruka-tachi are still there.
[18:01] * Mdm_Maestro plays harder and harder-- and then her violin screeches to a halt
[18:02] * --=[ SpeedRcrX ]=-- is leaned over with a woman obscured in shadow, groping and kissing her passionately
[18:02] <Mdm_Maestro> H-- Haruka
[18:04] * --=[ SpeedRcrX ]=-- smiles and whispers to the woman "Don't worry, Michiru will NEVER find out about us. She's clueless. Got no street smarts."
[18:04] * Mdm_Maestro drops her violin
[18:04] * C'est_la_V stands up and hands Michiru a knife
[18:05] * Mdm_Maestro nods and walks over to Haruka, who is passionately embracing the strangely shadowed woman
[18:05] <FireFly_9> Michiru-momma, didn't you know this about her?
[18:06] <C'est_la_V> She always goes behind your butt...
[18:06] <The Catman> She loves you... for your bank account.
[18:07] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> (to the woman) Michi is so naiive... She thinks she leads me around by the nose, but I'm the one.
[18:07] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> I get what I want from her at night, and in the day... I get all the play.

[18:16] <FireFly_9> Hello? (voice echoes)
[18:17] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Abomination.
[18:18] <Mdm_Maestro> Dangerous.
[18:18] <chronos.typhoon.2k4> You are a threat to us.
[18:18] <FireFly_9> No I'm not! It's not my fault that I have this power!
[18:20] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> You'll kill us all, you b[BLEEP]ch
[18:20] <Mdm_Maestro> For us to live, you must die
[18:20] <chronos.typhoon.2k4> You must die.
[18:21] <FireFly_9> But you raised me! As your own child!
[18:22] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Fool
[18:22] <Mdm_Maestro> Why do you think we raised you?
[18:22] <chronos.typhoon.2k4> Took you from your father?
[18:23] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer." (brandishes the space sword)
[18:25] <FireFly_9> No....
[18:26] <Mdm_Maestro> We were always watching you, monitoring your progress (Masses energy around her fist)
[18:26] <FireFly_9> This can't be...
[18:27] <chronos.typhoon.2k4> You're the cause of our suffering...
[18:27] <FireFly_9> We overcame this years ago! Made peace! This is a Lie! a LIE!

[18:37] <Kaolinite VIII> Left foot yellow.
[18:38] * GERMATOID SPREADS HIS LEFT LEG, TRYING TO GET HIS FOOT ONTO YELLOW. HE SLIPS UNDER KAOLINITE A BIT MORE.

[18:42] * GERMATOID SEES A SILHOUETTED FIGURE STANDING IN THE DOORWAY, STANDING NEXT TO A SILHOUETTED CHILD.
[18:44] * GERMATOID CLUTCHES KAOLINITE AND PULLS HER DOWN ONTO THE GROUND WITH HIM, BUT HIS EYES STAY FOCUSED ON THE TWO FIGURES.

[18:48] <FireFly_9> Father... what are you doing... with *that woman*? HOW DARE YOU?! I HATE YOU!!
[18:48] * Kaolinite VIII begins to remove her jacket
[18:49] <Kaolinite VIII> Forget them... even if your daughter hates you, and you can never have the one woman you truly loved.... even if your life is totally empty... not worth living....
[18:49] * GERMATOID PONDERS THIS
[18:49] * Kaolinite VIII pulls a dagger from her cleavage and hands it to him
[18:51] <Kaolinite VIII> Here. The thing that has lurked at the back of your mind ever since the day you tried to clone her and got me instead. The sick truth of your own inability to rescue that what you loved the most.
[18:52] * GERMATOID LOOKS AT THE DAGGER, AND FEELS THE FAMILIAR FEELING.
[18:53] <Kaolinite VIII> Yes. Plunge it in, end your sorrows.
[18:54] * GERMATOID TAKES THE DAGGER, AND TOSSES IT ASIDE, PULLING KAOLINITE TO HIM AND ROLLING OVER, PRESSING HER TO THE MAT
[18:54] <Kaolinite VIII> ...?!

[19:08] * Queen Serenity feels Endymion's face.
[19:09] <Queen Serenity> As long as the blood of time flows theough your veins I own you. Your duty demands it.
[19:09] * chronos.typhoon.2k4 watches weakly as Serenity kisses Endymion passionately.
[19:10] <Queen Serenity> You can project yourself in time all you want. But I... (strokes setsuna's face) will always.... (lifts her chin up and SQUEEZES HARD) own you...
[19:11] <Queen Serenity> My kingdom may have fallen... but this door will always be mine... and you belong to the door, daughter of Chronos.

[19:16] * C'est_la_V rubs her eyes "X-chan?"
[19:17] * C'est_la_V notes that the space next to her is gone. Her bed is now a single.
[19:17] * C'est_la_V looks at her hand. There is no wedding ring.
[19:18] * C'est_la_V feels something in her hair. her bow is gone.
[19:19] * C'est_la_V sees that the picture of herself and Xadium on the nightstand is gone, replaced by one of her with Artemis.
[19:19] * C'est_la_V sees a collar next to the picture. Somehow she knows it is Artemis'-- the last thing she has of his.
[19:20] * C'est_la_V goes over to her computer
[19:20] * C'est_la_V reads some email
[19:21] <C'est_la_V> "Minako-chan: I did some checking, but I can't find anything on Asai-kun. Or Higashi-san, or Xadium-san. Sorry, Ami-chan."
[19:22] * C'est_la_V sees a letter on her dresser. "I'm sorry, I have to go to the mountains to train. -- Makoto"
[19:22] * C'est_la_V notes it was dated years ago. Sees a faded photo of her and Mako-chan.
[19:22] <C'est_la_V> All gone...
[19:23] * C'est_la_V feels the crushing weight of loneliness as she sits on the edge of her bed. She tries to email Ami again.
[19:23] <C'est_la_V> what do you mean "user not found?!"
[19:23] * C'est_la_V hits the computer
[19:24] * C'est_la_V decides to go outside
[19:25] * C'est_la_V walks through the crowd. No one recognizes her.
[19:25] * C'est_la_V suddenly sees X-chan and Hotaru-chan talking in the crowd
[19:25] * C'est_la_V joyfully runs up to them
[19:26] * C'est_la_V freezes when she hears them talking
[19:26] <@Dr_Xadium> She was such an annoying ditz. Never understood anything I told her, always mangled everything she said. And she always wanted to be told how beautiful she was. Damn, it was tiring.
[19:27] <@Dr_Xadium> I'm so glad I decided to get the hell out of there.
[19:27] <C'est_la_V> Masaka...
[19:27] <FireFly_9> She clung to me like a lost puppy, always wanting to do somethign frivoulous and stupid.
[19:28] <FireFly_9> I have better things to do with my time than see the latest teenybopper film, or go shopping for expensive, overpriced pieces of designer garbage.
[19:29] <C'est_la_V> You guys... I'm not like that... I'm not that shallow... wait...
[19:30] <@Dr_Xadium> And she had the nerve to call herself the "Goddess of Love". Bah, she might have had some "skill", but she was nothing special.
[19:30] * C'est_la_V drops to the ground, crying.
[19:31] <FireFly_9> Heh. Bimbos like that are a dime a dozen.
[19:31] <@Dr_Xadium> She meant nothing to me.
[19:31] * C'est_la_V slams her fists on the ground, then realizes that the other people in the crowd are all her friends, and they are laughing at her
[19:32] <C'est_la_V> Stop laughing!! Why are you all laughing at me?!
[19:32] <.`~SugaBB_2999~`.> y wuld we laff at u?
[19:32] <Mdm_Maestro> We don't even know who you are
[19:32] <C'est_la_V> What?? Don;t you remember me?
[19:33] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Oh yeah I might have known a girl named Minako. She was nothing special, though. (walks off)
[19:33] <chronos.typhoon.2k4> I talked to her a few times, but I don't feel the need to speak to her again. (leaves)
[19:34] <@Dr_Xadium> She wasn't important, just someone I used to my benefit. (leaves)
[19:34] <FireFly_9> Good for a laugh or two. (walks away)
[19:34] * C'est_la_V is all alone.
[19:35] <C'est_la_V> WHY?! AT LEAST TELL ME WHY YOU PRETENDED TO BE MY FREINDS AND THEN LEFT!! AM I SO WORTHLESS?!

[19:35] * Sailor Venus wakes up sobbing.
[19:35] * @Dr_Xadium rolls over "Mina, are you all right?"
[19:36] * Sailor Venus looks at him sadly. "Just a bad dream..." Can't shake off what she heard him say in the dream. "Did you have a dream?"
[19:37] <@Dr_Xadium> No. (Remembers a horrible dream of Mina dying in a horrible fire while he is unable to help)
[19:37] <Sailor Venus> Lucky You.
[19:38] <@Dr_Xadium> Minako... you're still transformed? Even Hotaru dropped her transformation. You've been like this for days.
[19:38] <Sailor Venus> How can you tell? I changed my clothes.
[19:39] <@Dr_Xadium> You're my wife... I can tell. This isn't healthy.
[19:39] * @Dr_Xadium notes some flecks of gold in Mina's crystal blue eyes, but says nothing.
