[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?]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Michiru nods in agreement. Exactly. She will believe that because she needs to. She'll also believe the same about Haruka, that it's only a matter of time until the other woman finds her way out from the dark.]

Yes, exactly. And it's good that none of us are alone here. We can take strength from that as well. [...it's almost funny really, that she can say that these days. Times have changed.] And we won't fail this mission either.

[She nods slightly, her hand resting against her leg, the other making sure that this device didn't move much on the table.]

I promise that we won't fail. Though since everyone is pretty much living close together, why don't you come and stay with us as well?

[A little smile. A promise, hmm? She wouldn't expect any less from Minako.]

I'd like that, Minako. I think it's a good idea, to stick close. [In case of trouble.]

[She laughs slightly.]

Great. Shall I come get you?

[Her smile softens a little at the laugh. It is good to see familiar faces in this strange place.] You wouldn't mind?

Well, I know Traverse Town okay now. If you had ended up elsewhere we might of had problems.

Then I'll count myself lucky at that.

Have you explored much? It seems like there are quite a few very very different places. [Michiru's already considering and mapping out where to look into first. She needs to know what she's dealiing with in this place, after all.]

[She shakes her head slightly. In terms of exploration she hasn't explored as much as she could have.]

Only Traverse Town and Agrabah really.

[A little nod.] And Agrabah is where everyone is staying? [Everyone being their little group of everyone of course.]

Pretty much yeah. Although I'm still settling in.

[She laughs slightly.]

Settling in seems like it might take a little... bit of doing.

Considering the type of place Agrabah is... it really does take some getting use to.

What sort of place is it, exactly?

It's a desert from the outside of town. Hot in temperature, and just really sandy.

[Michiru's lips purse at that. ...that doesn't sound pleasant at all, actually.] ...no water?

Not that I've seen yet anyway. Unless you count the wells or something.

Hmm. I see. it sounds dry. [Understatement, Michiru. It's a desert.]

Extremely dry.

[She actually wonders why they even live here.

[...Michiru may share this wonder. But for now, she nods.]

But if everyone is there, that more than makes up for it.

That's right, we're all sticking together. But, maybe we can discus the living arrangements when everyone can gather together.

Maybe we can.

But for now it's good to have somewhere to go, truly.

It is, but if someone wants to move after everyone has truely settled, we should discus it then, right?

That's true. Everyone should agree no matter what. But first settling in is the best idea.

I really am relieved so many of us are here.

I'm relieved as well. At least this way we know we're all okay.
