Mingle Log

[clockray]

To break some of that pesky ice, have a mingle log, guys! Space has not only warped, but converged, and there's a patchwork of scenery along with it.

Here are some places of interest, though you can make up whatever you want.

Crystal Tokyo ruins
Shattered, bare, crumbling ground, complete with desiccated corpses. A sliver of Evil Black Crystal is present and slowly infecting nearby realities.

Fancy restaurant
Glinting chandeliers, nicely-set tables (with only bread and various butters), nice view of a river...there's an elevator, but where it goes - especially in this situation - is up in the air. Faint classical music drifts through the dimensional plains.

Shopping center
Ah, capitalism...maybe that thing's on sale. Maybe there's one left!

A rainforest
The mud's two feet deep, the air's thicker than paste and-- yep. Yep, this is a crocodile nest/quicksand/a jaguar.

A castle
A labyrinthine, chilly, Gothic building surely not home to a vampire.

The Moon Kingdom
Yes. That one, if just a slice. Lot of water and elegance here - inhale the peace.

A loop
A loop of space. No matter what direction someone goes, they end up where they just were. At least it feels like progress?

Empty space
Featureless, freezing, silent, without gravity, and pitch black. Fun times.

Sailor 330 | OC

[330senshi]

A pizza. 'Set for days!' Two slices. 'It'll last.' Then there was nothing. Tarla kept looking, though. Maybe she'd find something she missed. Took her a while to stop fooling herself, and longer to face it. She had to leave her apartment. Had to fling herself into the crazy clawing world and humor people's insanity. No, no no, she left the crust, it-- ...was moldy. ...Breathe. It won't be long.

She entered the shopping center fully transformed. She didn't like pretending to be someone else. This way she retained power, and though some people stared and whispered when they thought she couldn't hear, others simply assumed she's a fan of Sailor V. Or, that, in a burst of optimism, is what Tarla thought.

The deli section just about kills her. She has to hold the little plastic containers to be sure they're real. Oh, what? There's so much to choose from! The tuna salad? Curry chicken? This grain stuff with onions!?

An alarm shatters her fervor. Outside the shop, a woman dashes by, purse thrown over her shoulder.

"Thief! Stop!"

Security's in hot pursuit, but more and more people are flooding in, meandering as professional obstacles. ...Hmm. Maybe while they're distracted...

[justcantwaittobe]

She was just passing by, but she's heard the cry.

A thief wasn't a demon, but Minako's told her of her adventures as Sailor V. Yes, she could do this, too!

"Where's the thief?"

Asked very eagerly and with a clear intention of catching said thief immediately and telling him exactly why stealing was wrong.

[330senshi]

Tarla didn't notice the girl at first, wrapped up in what-ifs and teetering towards thievery of her own. Not enough commotion, should she bother with the 36 grams of sugar or delude herself for a healthier frozen thing...

She blinked, not sure the girl's talking to her. People rarely did. The question was sensible, but the tone was...wrong. Tarla pointed to the store entry way.

"Out there somewhere. What do you plan to do?"

Asked with zero intention to help out.

[justcantwaittobe]

"Catch them and punish them!"

Oh, and... Right, she should think this through.

"Get back the stolen stuff for that poor lady. So let's go!"

Yes, she's assuming that since you've asked, you're now part of the temporary anti-thief team. Or something. Excuse her for assuming.

[330senshi]

Hmm. Someone raised this kid well. Well, but not smartly. Tarla glanced at the food and fought back a tremble. Weaker than she thought...maybe if she did this she'd be forced to decide what she wanted.

"All right. Let's not follow the police - he'll be trying to give them the slip, so we'll be doubly behind. Look for someone heading towards an emergency exit."

This...this could be good. Being on the move would keep her from festering in people's nonsense, especially 'why aren't you smiling.'

[justcantwaittobe]

"Emergency exit, got it!"

Should she transform? No, not unless this guy was a demon. Right?

So, she's running now, though she's not sure of the direction.

[330senshi]

Tarla doesn't follow. Not for a few moments, more hesitating, but she did agree with herself...oh...god. Roped herself into babysitting. Great.

"Hey! Kid!"

And after Chibiusa she goes...as best she can. There's a main entrance down a hall, but various employees are keeping people out, explaining the situation and basically throwing one part of the mall into lock down over one guy. Closing gates rattle across storefronts, barring any potential sneak-in, and most of the people caught innocently shopping are standing around asking each other what's going on.

God. She should've gone to the ramen street stall.

[justcantwaittobe]

ChibiUsa meanwhile has lost any traces of the thief and finally stands somewhere nearby, looking around.

"Where could he have gone..."

But she perks up upon seeing the other girl. "Do you know where's he gone?"
