I think this place has finally lost it...but the outfits are pretty cool.

[Because this has totally got to be a virus, there's no way you guys could really be Sailor Soldiers...she'd know...wouldn't she?

But that doesn't mean she won't humor this virus.]

So how many of us are there out there...Sailor Soldiers, I mean? What are your powers and your Soldier names? I know you probably want to protect your identities so I'll understand if you don't want to give out your real names or too much information...but a headcount would be cool since it's been the five of us for so long. You can even do it anonymously if you like.

[The curse of the golden apples strikes again, except Makoto has been a little busy so odds are she didn’t get the memo.

In any case the girl on the screen looks like Makoto, her eyes, hair tie, and earrings make her easily recognizable no matter what her shape which is good…because her shape is that of a child no more than five years old.

She is outside in what appears to be snowy weather with a too big bag that would probably be burdensome for a child her age, but other than being awkward she’s carrying it just fine. It makes crossing the street with the adults a little difficult—

—that car just barely misses her, but she doesn’t seem to notice, recklessly determined to get to her destination with her bag.

Mini Makoto makes it as far as the snow-blanketed park of Azabu Juban before she is suddenly beaned in the head with a snowball. She screws her face up and rounds on her assailant…or assailants, a small gang of boys who are taller than she is in her current form, but are probably not much older.]

Look at what we have here…an arm rest [as one of the boys drops an arm on top of her head] we haven’t seen you around here before, midget.

That’s because [she swats his hand away] I’m new here, you dumb gorilla.

Oh yeah? [He looks offended, but after looking back at his fellow cronies he puts on a smug smile] Well since you’re new, you oughta know that this is our park and if you wanna pass you’ll have to pay for it.

[The group of boys behind him chortle and nod their head in agreement before circling her like a pack of jackals]

Let me guess, you’re the king gorilla and these are your ape lackeys [Makoto doesn’t really look put out, but she does tighten her hold on her bag of stuff] but that’s probably an insult to all monkeys! This park is for everyone!

Listen y’little brat, you’re new here so we’ll let you off with a warning and…[the group of boys make a grab for the bag in her arms and it turns into a tug of war with Makoto holding her own on one side and the boys pulling from the other. Unfortunately she’s not quite as strong as normal and the bag ends up ripping in half. The contents spill all over the ground, more valuable items shattering. She picks up the ruins of what must have been a really nice cake, looking as though she might just burst into tears.]

Oops! Oh well, guess you should have handed it over whi—

[But before the boy can finish his sentence for all of his buddies to cackle at, Makoto does the opposite of crying. Her little face is blotchy and red from anger and with her little fists balled up and white she jumps right on top of her provoker and starts laying into him.

So much for the king gorilla’s followers, quick to take off instead of hanging back to watch Mini Makoto bombard their leader repeatedly and mercilessly with a volley snowballs.]


[ooc: the green dialogue is Mako-chan and the orange is the NPC boy.]

[When the feed cuts on a particularly lethargic Makoto can be seen doubled over with her chin propped on her kotatsu table.]

I've learned a very important lesson this day...never take part in an eating contest when your opponent is a living trash compactor with an iron stomach.

[She tries sitting up properly, but...to no avail and simply drops back down again.]

Huuu...I'll have to thank Tsukino-san for all of the goodies...though I wonder why she only made one cupcake...those were pretty good--even though Usagi was upset...I guess I'll get up and make some for her to cheer her up...

[Nope...no movement, but she is superb when it comes to sliding off the table and landing with a *thump* on the floor.]



[ooc: While Makoto has pre-Valentine's Day arrangements with a certain Knight who doesn't deserve this, feel free to comment on her...um...situation.]

( Heralding in the month of love with crazy scouts, wacko baddies, and Mako-chan romance meyham! )

[A little later on i.e. when Makoto discovers the video, the community is treated to another one...not quite as dynamic, but it's Makoto all the same.]

Really, this place is pretty good at catching awkward moments on video...that's like Candid Michrophone...no wait, that was almost 50 years ago...it's Camera right?

Ah! But it is that time of the year, isn't it, so maybe that's why...[insert nervous Mako laugh here, she's still pretty wary when it comes to the videos the community takes of her, especially after the last one]...right!

So love! I'm pretty interested naturally! I think Ginga-sempai's take on it was a little sad and...confusing...I wonder if that's okay? Coming from a different country, maybe love is expressed differently?

Tails, I'm not sure, but I thought you might be interested since we were talking about it before and you said that there was something similar in your world...well it's about the Rainbow Crystals we've been searching for. Those crystals were actually fragments of something called the Silver Crystal and apparently it's an object of great power that the Dark Kingdom has been searching for.

Fortunately it's in our possession and not Queen Beryl's, which is a good thing...and we found our Moon Princess who is...even I still can't believe it...but Usagi. We found the final warrior too! So all of the warriors have gathered, we have the Silver Crystal, and we found the princess.

I guess that's what they call the wind of fate? I can't remember all of the details but I do know that all of us had a past life together too...

Anyway so much good news, but Queen Beryl and the Dark Kingdom are still out there and Usagi-chan has been really confused...it's harder for her to accept her past and her role. Even harder since the Dark Kingdom took Mamoru-san...I think I can understand how that feels a little.

So now we have to find a way into the Dark Kingdom, defeat Beryl and drag Mamoru-san back! No sweat! Of course I'm not sure where the entrance to the Dark Kingdom is, but there has to be one in the city!




[ooc: So, yeah, pushing Kino Makoto through season one pretty hardcore, but there's a reason for it. In the next few weeks I'm going to be moving and I'm not sure when I'll be back on line, but this is convenient for Makoto who has a two month break between seasons one and two. So expect one more post from her after this one XD]

[Makoto looks a little uneasy sitting in front of the computer, almost as if she’s afraid of touching it, thank whichever of the Seven Lucky Gods are listening that there is a camera…it means less touching until she’s comfortable]

They said it would make studying easier, but I think this is a little extreme [pokes the screen dubiously] and I’ve never been that great with things like this, my best subject is home economics and I’m not too bad at martial arts either…

…that reminds me, today was my first day at Juuban Junior High and I ran into a couple of cream puffs picking on a girl from my school. I can’t stand the kind of gutless coward who would pick on a girl, especially one that can’t fight back. Took care of them though, heh…

[Looks thoughtfully down at the keyboard]

…Though I guess that’s where my reputation for fighting comes from, it’s a misunderstanding I think, but most of the students in my new school avoided me…except for that strange little dumpling head who was attacked earlier…she was actually pretty friendly…and she had a huge appetite too. I think I liked that best of all, if she likes to eat then I can invite her over and cook for her…it does get a little bit lonely here…

[She suddenly realizes that she’s talking to a computer, inanimate objects don’t usually talk back, but there’s no one else around so why not. She’ll still scratch the back of her head and laugh nervously now]

Ha…hahaha…well you’re not going to talk back are you so I guess it’s time to get down to brass tacks as they say! It’ll be a pain if I get left too far behind, but as long as it’s not last place…so…does this thing have pong on it?

[Yeah…forget about studies]

Reading all of these entries was interesting.  _Heh. I guess these "virus" things happen pretty often? 

Rei-chan, Minako-chan, either of you get affected?

Since I'm stuck here, I may as well introduce myself. Hello, DramaDramaDuck! My name is Makoto Kino. I'm sure you're all very nice people and I'm pleased to meet you, I just wish my computer wasn't stuck on this webpage.

Not that I'm very good with computers anyway, but it's still irritating.
