001 ♂ video + action in Traverse Town

[burningstorm]

[Technology is not one of Rei's fortes and it shows when the feed activates, flipped upside down. Nevertheless, she looks alarmed and not happy in the slightest. For the moment, she's tucked away in a temporary safe place. Her first instinct is to call for the girls.]

Hello? This is Rei Hino-- I just arrived here. This strange creature just gave me this device and--

[Loud crashing ensues in the background and the feed shakes for a moment, then steadies, reminding her to be quick about her transmission. No luxury to ask if anyone has seen her friends. She looks back into the feed, wearing an expression that is both determined and fearless. She may be without her ability to transform into Sailor Mars at the moment, but she sure as heck isn't helpless.]

I'm not sure how long I can hold out here. If anyone is nearby, I'm willing to help you fight off these evil creatures. Get in touch with me immediately.

[There is no music this time. To him, it sounds empty.]

Sailor Mars.

You have returned.

[The voice is dispassionate, but the man looks an awful lot like Rei's world's Kunzite...]

[Normally, she would pretend she had no idea what he was talking about, but in all the chaos, he look a lot like Kunzite from the glimpse of silver-white hair and not many people would just automatically know she was Mars on sight. More than that, how and why is he here? Last she checked, he was a stone. She doesn't exactly have a lot of time to mull over everything, though. Much as she tries to private filter the feed, it just flips through audio, text, audio, then back to video and... then she just gives up. How did Ami do it? Stupid technology. Zoisite gets a hard glare instead!]

You can't just go around calling me that in public. I'm Rei.

...I don't understand. I've never been here before.

[He does not particularly seem to pay attention to Rei's complaint. He remains calm, and does not fix his speech.]

Although you do not remember it now, you were once here.

[How is that possible? ...There are a lot of things she doesn't understand about this place right now, but she trusts more in Ami telling her than who she thinks is Kunzite-- even if Mamoru seeks their counsel every now and then. But she's not Mamoru.]

If that's true, I'll find out for myself. How did you get here, Kunzite?

[She is not aware of timeline business yet. Or... even that there are alternate realities.]

[musicite]

Kunzite came her as you did, and as I did. [It's no answer at all, but a quiet note that he is not, in fact, Kunzite.]

[burningstorm]

You're not--? [This place is making her head hurt already. She studies him, as if it'll give her the answers.] Who are you?

[Video]

[musicite]

One of the shitennou, Zoisite.

[burningstorm]

[That takes her by surprise.] You look different than I remember you.

[musicite]

[He mistakes her slightly.]

None of us are as we were in the distant past.
