[005] ☿ Trouble in Atlantica

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

Girls? Girls!!

[Sailor Mercury's voice is alarmed as she tries to recover her wits. She sways as though caught in some current. Dizzy-looking fish in the background (and the fact Mercury's costume has gotten noticeably skimpier and she's grown a fish-tail) say she must be in Atlantica.

Just a moment ago, they'd all been caught in an enormous water vortex that tore them away from one another; signs of the swirls and eddying currents can still be seen. Mercury addresses the video feed at large. Even now, she makes sure to show herself only from the shoulders up (it's embarrassing!) despite the emergency.]

I need to speak with someone who's been to Atlantica before. It's urgent. And Sailor Moon, everyone, please respond right away!

Uh...

_{[Whoa. Give him a few seconds to let that intial shock disappear, because that is gorgeous.]}

I used to live there, if that helps.

[The goddess of water should be beautiful in her element! Mer-cury still looks a bit shocked, though; water shouldn't have nearly choked her, of all people. It had to be-

She can worry about that soon enough.]

Please, did you have difficulties getting there? We were caught up in this almost as soon as we arrived.

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

Difficulties? Not really, seeing as I was raised there.. I can be there in a jiffy if y'need help getting around--What's the closest landmark?

I'm here. Where's Usagi? We have to find Usagi!

[Action + Private]

Thank goodness! [Mercury hurries towards Jupiter, reaching out to clasp their hands together to avoid being separated again.]

Come on, let's find them! If this was our greeting, I don't want to think what else might happen!

[Action + Private]

[faithfulthunder.livejournal.com]

What a greeting... The gods of this galaxy are troublesome.

[And then there is Pluto, in similar form, but with a black tail and dark red bow. She looks slightly frazzled as she appears on the screen.]

Are you alright? Where are you? Were you injured? [First things first. Then they can decide whether this is Triton's greeting, or Hades' meddling.]

[Atlantica. He is never going there. Ever. Except Demyx has Schala interested in it and it's in his future. Ha ha ha ha. And he's frowning (yes, he can scowl and frown at the same time) at Mercury.]

What have you encountered?

[Water shouldn't do that to her; if it did, it was probably a trap. Or maybe she just thinks so because she already knew coming here would be tricky. Or maybe her first gut instinct is right, and it was a setup.

She tries to clear her mind to respond to Magus.]

There was a water vortex strong enough to separate me and my friends. That shouldn't have happened; it may have been a trap of some sort.

[false-oracle.livejournal.com]

Yes, it may, however, this seems like a bit of forethought for Heartless. [What, oh what, are you up to, Mercury?]

[Uranus is not enjoying this. She is WIND, not water. To be so completely cut off from her element is unnerving.

And then there's the whole seashell bikini top. She's not at all comfortable in it. The Senshi Fuku, that's different. It's a uniform. This is...

But she hasn't said a word about this. She is Sailor Uranus; she will endure whatever hardship she must.]

Are you hurt, Mercury?

[Video/Private]

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

I'm alright. But aside from Jupiter, I can't see anyone yet. We must have been separated further than I realized. Are you injured?

[Video/Private]

[soldierofthesky.livejournal.com]

No, I'm not. A little bumped and bruised, but I'm fine.

I'll start back towards where the vortex was. From there, I can come find you if you're hurt. [And by the look and sound of it, Mer-Sailor Uranus is already swimming.]

[Video/Private]

[shiroi-petals.livejournal.com]

Mercury. [He's not drawing the name out for once. He might actually be concerned.] What happened?

[Video/Private]

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

Kunzite! [She'd be more cautious another time, but right now she treats him at face value: someone concerned.]

There was a water vortex strong enough to separate me from everyone. [He knows as well as she does that this isn't quite right.] I'm still looking for them!

[Video/Private]

[shiroi-petals.livejournal.com]

Your enemy may still be laying in wait. Be cautious.

[Dahlia....is just going to stare at you with a WTF face, Sailor Mercury. Mermaids shouldn't exist, dammit]

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

[She really has no idea what's wrong, so have a rather flustered look in return. It's how much skin this shows, isn't it?]

Excuse me. Miss? Can I help you? [Unfailingly polite, even in a crisis.]

[doesntpoop.livejournal.com]

U-um.....oh, sorry, it's j-just that you're, um....

I'm sorry, I've never seen, um...a mermaid before...

( psh. this form has got nothing on these water senshi, am i right? neptune seems perfectly at ease, but seeing the expression on mercury's face is enough to spark concern ) Mercury? Are you all right?

[ video &locked ]

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

[Of course. This form is absolutely perfect for them!]

I'm alright; I'm not hurt. But Usagi-chan and everyone-! We need to regroup immediately.

[ In any other situation (one that involved actual LEGS), Sailor Moon can get herself with as much ease as an experienced fighter can. But this... this with the whole having fins, flippers and what have you? Yeah, this is a whole new territory for her.

So, the moment that she was torn away from everyone, she found herself carried which ever way, even finding herself dizzy from both being pulled around and hitting a wall or two before she finally ended up in a small little open grotto. Moon's given herself a little bit of time to not feel motion sick before she blearily searches for her communicator. ]

Ah, Mercury? Ugh, I feel sick. I don't want to go on that ride again...

[ It should be noted that she's laying on the back on the shell of a huge clam, looking, if one must say, green around the gills. ]

[video and inevitable action]

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

Sailor Moon! [The worried voice can only belong to Mercury, and of course she shows on the video, too.] Where are you? I'll find you right away!

Were you hurt? [Or just... looking ready to collapse from motion sickness? If only she had some medicine to use...]
