Perceptive.

It's...heh. You're the first to actually call me on that.

[But she does not want to say it out loud. After a little hesitation, she nods. Athena's trustworthy enough, and she's not stupid. CERES knows, and there's no way Athena or any of her friends from home would use it against them.

In for a penny..]

She's Mercury, I'm Mars, and Minako is Venus. Water, Fire, and Metal.

[psycholawgy]

Is there a Sailor Pluto?

Just wondering... since it's still a planet from when you're from.

[faithfulflame]

...yes.

Why wouldn't it be?

[psycholawgy]

Pluto's not recognised as a real planet anymore, but a dwarf planet instead.

[ the future sure is bright... ]

[faithfulflame]

I'm sure that the people in your time must also lack knowledge of a tenth, though...

[Setsuna would be annoyed]

[psycholawgy]

A tenth planet?

[ ooh boy. ]

What's it called?

[faithfulflame]

Nemesis.

[Because that's not ominous at all.]

[psycholawgy]

Definitely never heard of that before.

[faithfulflame]

Be glad. It's...not a nice place.

[psycholawgy]

I can tell just by its name.

[faithfulflame]

It's...a lightless hell, really. I'm not sure words can really describe how...horrid...it was there.

But it's out there. And made of a crystal so black it's invisible to the eye. You have to know what it is you're looking for.

[psycholawgy]

I don't think it exists where I'm from. I mean, if it did, it'd be all over the news by now.

[ wait. ]

Well, not necessarily now, but you know, in present time back home.

[faithfulflame]

Athena-chan. It's...so black that it reflects light. Unless people in your time have a way to see Black Holes? Then it may exist and you can't see it.

[Since it's literally just a void.]

Besides, when I was there it was the 31st century. But...I hope it isn't there

[psycholawgy]

What...?

[ god, she just kind of stops eating. ]

You can travel in time, too?!

[faithfulflame]

And to other planets and dimensions, yes.

[Rei's smile may be just a tiny bit smug as she takes another bite of chicken.]

[psycholawgy]

Wow!

[ she giggles like a child. ]

What can't you do?

[faithfulflame]

Any of that alone. It requires us working in unison to accomplish those sorts of feats.

It's why we're a team.

[psycholawgy]

Ah, that's so touching...! Working as a team!

[ she may or may not be crying now. ]

[faithfulflame]

Athena-chan, has anyone ever told you that you cry easily?

[psycholawgy]

[ her tears only last for a couple of seconds. ]

I do not!

[faithfulflame]

You do so.

Heh. It's cute.

[psycholawgy]

[ just angrily stuffs food in her mouth >:T ]

gosh go to bed Nikki

[faithfulflame]

[Rei giggles and takes a bite.]

Is it good?

i'm highly caffeinated thanks to a dumb barista

[psycholawgy]

[ she knows it's rude to talk when your mouth is full, so she just nods. ]

oh no!

[faithfulflame]

[Rei smirks and goes on...]

How good? Anything that I can improve on?
