[Artemis is fuming and currently wearing this frilly, pastel dress.]

As if the Alice getup wasn't bad enough, now I look like cotton candy! How am I supposed to fight crime in this?

This virus better be over by the time I meet with the team.

There's a food that looks weird like that?

*Makoto is in a bridal gown and has busied herself batting around her veil like a small animal would do.*

[archerartemis]

More the color than anything else. But it also gets poofy--you've never had cotton candy?

[yes_im_kawaii]

I've heard of it!

[archerartemis]

We'll have to get some soon, then. Summer's ending over here, so it'll be hard to find after that.

Except at the hockey games. Then it's everywhere.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Awesome! I want to see a whole lot of things! It sounds like fun.

Re: Except at the hockey games. Then it's everywhere.

[archerartemis]

We'll have to see what we can do.

.. Huh, is there something wrong with that dress? [ Usagi's too much of a sweet summer child to think badly of it.. ]

I think it looks pretty cute, really!

I'm supposed to be a superhero! I can't run around the city trying to fight criminals in this!

[selene]

Well, maybe it could wait a few days.. I mean, when someone else was stuck in my body they couldn't really fight all the evil things out there either, you know? Maybe the community picked a good time..!

[ Like it ever does. ]

[archerartemis]

I'm supposed to meet the rest of the team soon! I can just see trying to explain to them why I'm in a poofy cotton candy getup.

[selene]

Just tell them it's the newest fashion trend! [ She would.. ]

[archerartemis]

This is the first time I'll be meeting them. I'm kind of freaked out about first impressions.

[selene]

... Wait, the first time..? [ Oh, now she sees the problem. She doesn't mind the dress herself, but she can imagine being nervous in general about meeting an important group for the first time.. ]

Um-- can't you take someone along who can explain it for you?! Or tell them you're sick!

[archerartemis]

I'm just starting out with my mentor too. And I really don't want to drag Mom along, not like she even knows about the community either...

[selene]

So there's nobody else who knows about it?

[archerartemis]

Nobody that I've seen.

[selene]

Man, that sure makes it a problem.. but.. if they're going to be your friends and comrades, then it should be alright! They'll accept you even if you're having a problem, that's what friends are for, even if you're not close yet!

[archerartemis]

I guess. I'm mostly just nervous.

[selene]

Hey.. you just have to hope for the best! Here, I'll be crossing my fingers and hoping for you too, okay?

[archerartemis]

Thanks. Maybe if it doesn't work out, we could work out some kind of interdimensional team on the community.

[selene]

That'd probably actually be pretty useful.. I mean, I'd love to do something for other worlds, but I often can't do much since I'm not really powerful.. [ Or so she thinks. ] But if some people were around to protect others, that'd be a huge relief!

[archerartemis]

It'd really help with certain viruses.

[selene]

Hmm, and maybe it could be a group of people with worldhops too so people will know who to ask when they need one!

[archerartemis]

That really is a good idea. I've seen people looking for worldhops a lot, and unless someone sets something up ahead of time, it's hard for people to find one.

[selene]

.. Ehehe, it's a good idea-- really a good idea, right?! Oh gosh, I've got to tell everyone else this! Rei-chan always says "idiot Usagi", or then Luna scolds me for not having good ideas.. but now I have one, so they can't call me an idiot anymore, no way!

[ She's a little too cheerful about this.. ]

[archerartemis]

Yeah, it's a good idea all right.

[selene]

Yay! Then we better make it really happen somehow!
