1st New Era [Video]

[kazeninaru]

Oi. This place is boring. Anybody got something to do around here?

[There’s a smirking, masculine face with angled turquoise eyes and a mop of dusty-gold hair on the network, one that could be male or female, and who could really guess which unless they already knew? Apparently Haruka’s startled fiddling at last with the video function on her little gift from the kupo-thing. She looks tense, wound up, and like she hasn't had the best of days, but she’s kept that smirk on her face, anyway, putting forth a mask of cocky bravado.]

Work to do? Building to destroy? Enemies to take out a little frustration on?

[She hefts her Space Sword in her free hand, showing the camera, so whoever sees this knows she means business and can handle herself.]

I’ll take what I can get. Call me if you’ve got anything.

[And then she flips the communicator shut, ending the feed. This'd better net her something to do, because if she doesn't find something to do, perferably something constructive she's gonna go nuts.]

[Funny how something as simple as a familiar voice just stopped her heart beating entirely for a moment. Michiru spent a good few moments fumbling with her communicator to get it working properly, by which time she's managed to school her expression into a more composed one, calming her movements as well.

Haruka. Here. But with everything that's been happening, is it really..?

It has to be. So it's with a faint smile and a fair amount of cautious hopefulness, she speaks, teasing.] I was wondering when I'd see your face. You've kept me waiting, you know.

[Video]

[kazeninaru]

[That... is the last thing Haruka expected. She just about drops the communicator, and the screen shows a wildly jostled shot of the ceiling of her hotel room until it focuses again on Haruka's face-- her shocked face, because she'd been trying, these past few hours, to reconcile herself to the fact that Michiru was lost.]

Mi-- Michiru?

[Yeah, that's about as coherent as you're gonna get, at least for a minute or two until she figures out just whether this is real or not.]

[Video]

[with_elegance]

Haruka. [Michiru speaks the name with a fair amount of relief. It's definitely Haruka.]

Are you at the inn? [Because she's already on her way out. Because the weeks she's been in this place, away from the other woman, have been far, far too long.]

[Video]

[kazeninaru]

Yes. That one in-- Tu-ra-verse Town?

[The name is still difficult for her. But then, she hasn't been here long, yet. Michiru, however, obviously has been. Or she's been here longer than Haruka has.]

What happened? Why are you here-- why weren't you here, before?

[Video]

[wieldstheglaive]

Sailor Uranus! You're he--...

[Wait, bored? ]

With everything going on right now how can you be bored? I could really use some help there are so many people in trouble right now.

[Video]

[kazeninaru]

[People in trouble? This is news to Haruka. But then again, she's not been here very long. Saturn-- huh, she's transformed?-- doesn't get the same surprised reaction Michiru did, since she's already got the low-down that some of them survived.]

Tell me where, and I'll be there. If I can figure out where it is. I just got picked up this morning.

[Video]

[wieldstheglaive]

[Saturn almost tells Uranus where she is but she stops, hesitates. ]

Are you really Uranus? There have been a lot of people showing up lately that aren't who they say they are.
They even tried to pull Venus into the darkness.

[video]

[burningstorm]

[Thankfully, Rei is back to her normal self, but she's... not amused. She respects you, Haruka, but...]

You're bored?

[video]

[kazeninaru]

[Look who we have here. One of the girls from the inner planets. Haruka snorts, rolls her eyes to herself, then returns the feed once she's gotten that out of her system.]

Well, when you're stuck in a hotel room and don't know where any trouble is. Yeah. Bored. Which was why I was asking where to find some trouble to take care of. Do you want to help out, or keep looking at me like that instead?

[All right, maybe she had a little of the snark left. So sue her.]

[video]

[burningstorm]

[And so begins the snark-fest between two snarky Senshi!]

Look around you. There's trouble everywhere. People aren't who they should be, some of them are trying to destroy cities, and where there aren't people doing that, there are heartless attacking people.

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

[Well, Minako couldn't be any happier, all of the people she knew were starting to make there way here.]

it's nice to see you finally turn up. I hope people have explained things to you?

[Video]

[kazeninaru]

[And it's the blonde one-- the one who isn't the princess. Haruka is starting to wonder a bit if she ought to seek Usagi out, herself, or something. For the moment, though, she flicks the feed on and gives Minako a thumbs up.]

Michiru found me, gave me an overview. I hear I'm a little late to the party.

[Video]

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

[She nods slightly, she should have figured that Michiru would have been the first to find her.]

That's good news and yes, you pretty much are late. We were all very worried about you.

[no_souls_here]

[The boy on the feed was holding his forehead with one hand and looking decidedly cross. This newcomer was familiar to him but the two had rarely if ever spoken before. The nerve of them calling this place boring on the heels of such an annoying trial]

I believe I have something that could alleviate your boredom.. [His words were strained but became smoother as he proceeded]

There are these portals all over the city that will take you transport you to where you are most needed. [Yes, Ciel is trying to lure Haruka into going through one of the portals so that she'll become an AU version of herself. It's only a little evil]

[Video]

[kazeninaru]

[Hello. Face she doesn't know. Haruka answers the call with a little confusion.]

I thought you traveled around using those... gummi boat... things. I've already used one of those.

[She gives him a slightly wolfish grin.]

To be honest, I'm a lot less bored now. Apparently I just didn't know where to look.

[Video]

[no_souls_here]

[And Ciel never figured out that you were a female the last time there was a Haruka here. mun is secretly amused by this]

Gummi ships? Yes, for regular excursions. The king provides the portals when help is needed. It is a lot easier then sending people to general locations.

[Just wade into potential danger for my amusement, dang it]

Indeed.

[the_most_talent]

[Her normal exuberance is quelled by just how tired she is from this whole affair. She'd kept blacking out, and hadn't yet had a chance to share her concern with the other senshi. When in actuality she had been transforming into Yagyu Jubei II and fighting bad guys]

Haruka, is it really you? [She shook her head as if she deemed her own question too silly. Of course it was her]

I'm so glad you could make it.

[Video]

[kazeninaru]

[Aww, it's Jupiter! Haruka at least kind of likes this one. She flashes the tall girl an amiable grin.]

Hey, Kino-san. I'm pretty glad I could make it, too, considering the alternative. Looks like I wound up being fashionably late, though.

[Video]

[the_most_talent]

[Makoto wished she could be more energetic, she did have a certain amount of respect for this Outer Senshi.]

That's true, the alternative isn't appealing at all.

Better late than never.

[drivememercury]

Haruka-san! [It seemed almost too convenient, though she sounds considerably less bewildered than Ami did when she first arrived.]

Michiru-san will be so relieved.

[kazeninaru]

[Of course Haruka sounds less bewildered. Hide everything behind a mask of confidence, that's how she rolls. She does give Ami a rather fond grin, though, when she finally gets around to responding, maybe half an hour later. She's looking a little less tense now than she had been.]

She already is, yeah. But thanks. Nice to be here, late or not.

[drivememercury]

Will she be bringing you to Agrabah? That's where the rest of us have re-grouped.

[Maybe they could all be brought to the same page together, at last.]

[video]

[moonbeams]

[Woah. Wait a minute. A fast scramble for the communicator leads to shaky video that finally rests on the blonde, twintailed usagi.]

H-haruka-san! Is that really you?!! [she peers closely at the communicator screen.] It is you! You're here! [michiru would be so happy!]

[video]

[kazeninaru]

[Aw, look who that is! Haruka actually has a warm smile for Usagi, one that's a little tiny bit guilty. Just a little.]

Hey, kitten. Yeah, I'm here. Apparently a few people were worried about me!

[moonbeams]

[Usagi sees no reason for guilt Haruka, so worry not!]

Mm! Michiru-san especially! You've found her right?
