Tide 001 ♆ [Video] (backdated to afternoon/early evening)

[with_elegance]

[Long, delicate fingers play over the edge of the little communicating device. Michiru tilts her head at it rather curiously. Interesting thing. So if what the little white... critters have told her is true, Michiru is more than a bit stuck here. This fact is a bit dismaying, but there's no sign of this on her face as she turns on her communicator. Instead, her expression is mostly serene, not quite a smile but pleasant enough.] I wonder if anyone could be kind enough to answer a few questions for me. It's very important that I find these things out.

[A pause, as she takes a moment to put her words together.] All this talk about darkness and worlds being lost is a lot to take in. But, if someone could tell me if they've seen a few people. I can offer names and descriptions, of course.

[And now she does smile, though it's a soft, almost sad sort of expression.] If anyone were to escape that darkness, I'm sure that it would be them.

[Really, Usagi was light in and of herself, wasn't she? And her friends had always been drawn along with that light. And Hotaru and Setsuna. Haruka... Well, was she being optimistic? For a moment at least, it couldn't hurt?]

[Minako couldn't believe her eyes at what she was seeing. Michiru was here... another one of them had arrived. Even though they were missing another, as sad as that is, it was also a happy time with another arriving. Minako appeared on the screen looking as happy as ever.]

Michiru! You're here?!

[Well then! This saves her having to give descriptions doesn't it? She smiles, a soft, pleased expression.] Minako. You are here then. I'm glad.

[She nods happily.]

Yep, I'm here. So is Usagi and some of our other friends.

[with_elegance]

Usagi is? That's wonderful. [Though she's almost a little afraid to ask this next question.] Who else is?

Have you been doing all right in this place?

[Hotaru nearly drops her communicator when she hears this message. Out of all the Sailor Senshi she did feel the closet to the Outers. Well, they did help raise her once... and now Michiru-mama was here! ]

[Video 2/2]

[wieldstheglaive]

You made it out of the darkness! I'm so glad! I knew you would find your way here some time.

[Video]

[with_elegance]

Hotaru-chan. [And this is just plain relief, really. Well, one in particular she was rather worried about.] Ah... some time? Have you been here a long while then?

[Video]

[wieldstheglaive]

I have been here for about three months now. I wanted to come and find everyone but I wasn't sure how to get into the darkness.

[video]

[soldierofspacetime]

Aah...Michiru.

[Its not hard to note that smile on her face has the characteristics of a teasing smirk. Yes.]

I do hope I fit the description of one of those people you were looking for?

[video]

[with_elegance]

[Bit by bit the tension in Michiru that's been present since she found herself here alone is easing. Seeing Setsuna's face is helpful in that.] Hmm. I wonder! [Spoken quietly, but playfully.] Of course you do, Setsuna. It's a relief to see you're here.

[video]

[burningstorm]

[Another one! Rei is happy that the senshi are slowly coming together, even if it comes through as quiet, reserved relief on her face.]

Michiru-san, I'm glad you're all right. The others will be happy to see you, too.

[video]

[with_elegance]

And I'll be happy to see them. And you, of course. It's a relief to see so many familiar faces. [Really quite a relief. Michiru offers her a quiet smile.]

[video]

[burningstorm]

Has anyone explained the situation to you, yet?

[moonbeams]

Ah! Michiru-san! Hooray! You made it! I'm really glad to see you!

[with_elegance]

Usagi! I'd heard you were here. It's good to see you too, Usagi. [She's so chipper. It's nice to see that she's whole and well.]

[moonbeams]

Hee. I haven't been here long! I'm really glad to see you, Michiru-san. [you kind of disappeared the last time she'd tried to find you.] Do you have anyone to come and get you?

[video]

[sanguineheels]

You must have just arrived. I might be able to help you find your friends, if they're here already. [she smiles lightly, hopefully an encouraging one.]

What are their names?

[video]

[with_elegance]

I did, yes. [Michiru smiles a bit at that.] As it turns out, several of them have already found me. I admit, it's a bit of a relief.

But thank you anyway. Maybe I could ask you a couple other questions instead?

[sanguineheels]

Oh, that's good to hear! [she smiles.] You're lucky so many of your friends were here to greet you. [she was likewise lucky.]

I'll do my best to answer any questions you have, I've only been here for about two months myself.

[the_most_talent]

[There's another familiar face!]

Michiru, you made it here too!? Is...Haruka with you? [The two were pretty inseparable so.. it wouldn't be too strange to ask that. Would it?]

Video

[with_elegance]

I did! [Her smile falters just a bit at the mention of Haruka. She shakes her head just a little.] No, I arrived alone. Haruka isn't here.

Video

[the_most_talent]

Oh, I'm so sorry. I.. [should have stopped to think before I asked that] I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure she'll be along soon.

[Usagi had arrived soon-ish after Makoto had so it was possible for Haruka to appear too]

I'm just glad you're all right.

[He recognizes this girl.. wasn't she here before? If she was like the others then Michiru wouldn't remember anyone. Ciel would treat this like a first meeting]

Welcome to Traverse Town, you should consider yourself fortunate for having escaped a worse fate.

Who is it you're trying to find, Miss?

Video

[with_elegance]

A worse fate. Mm. That is what it sounds like, isn't it?

[But more on his next question.] Well, it seems I've found a number of them. It seems I really am a little late to the party. But, if they've been here a while, maybe you know them. Hotaru, Minako, Rei, Setsuna, Usagi. Well, there's quite a few of us.

Video

[no_souls_here]

Unless you relish the idea of being consumed.[.. by the darkness that is. Ciel fully expected a demon to consume his soul after he completed his goal. Philosophically speaking, it might have seemed like a better fate to be shrouded in darkness then to lose one's soul.]

I am familiar with them, yes. [Minako, who he knew was a Sailor senshi and the others he suspected were.]
