We’re finding ourselves a way to go to the big party for Halloween which is being held by the princess (not The Princess that we’re looking for (at least I don’t think so)) because there’s a crystal that was shown on the television Luna thinks may well be important (so even if she’s not The Princess it might be The Crystal).
It’s a dress-up party. This is problematic because we can’t use the phones for disguise in case it wears off at an inappropriate time so we have to find actual costumes. I’ve never done something like this before. I have no idea what I might find. Tsukino-san has had quite a few ideas, but none of them have been any that I feel comfortable with. She says that I probably won’t feel comfortable with any of them so I should just close my eyes and pick one. She’s trying to decide between going as a giant rabbit or a giant bear. There are lots of other costumes like that which she thinks I would be “cute” as; but I keep telling her that a costume like that is really restrictive it will be hard to move, she might not even be able to see.
So, the discussion goes on, now that I am home we are back and forthing by text message.
This reminds me…I keep forgetting to ask if they have a computer, and if so, if she has her own journal. She should perhaps know about this one, I do write about her here.
I didn’t mention my dream to Tsukino-san, it’s one of those things where I wonder if I should or shouldn’t, and am consequently probably thinking about it too much.
Tsukino-san’s excited about the party. Although we found out that we’re supposed to wear costumes…that’s going to make things a bit more tricky.
I had the strangest dream last night. It was so clear it was almost as though it was something I was remembering, but I’ve never been in a place like that, that I can remember.
I was walking along a white corridor, on the left of me were tall open windows that went from ceiling to floor. They had long curtains, also white, which were blowing in a sweet-scented breeze. On the other side of me was a railing, as though the corridor were actually a walk-way or balcony.
After walking a short way I could hear someone laughing below me, and stopped and leaned on the railing and looked down.
The level below had a mosaic floor, in circles, fading in and out in color, and some tiles looked as though they were metal or jewels because of the way they were sparkling. Then the giggling got closer, and a girl with long flowing hair, I couldn’t make out any of her facial features, just that she was in a long white dress with poofy sleeves, and her hair seemed like it would be in bunches. She was laughing at something and twirling around in the middle of the mosaic. Then she stopped, and looked up at me, and waved. She seemed like she was going to say something to me, but then I woke up.
She reminded me a bit of Sailor Moon, the girl dancing in the mosiac, but I’ve never been to a place like that. It doesn’t look like anything I’ve seen anywhere else that I can remember.
Spent the evening at Tsukino-san’s again.
She is wanting to talk to Rei-san, but Luna told us of a more pressing thing that she was concerned about, and then we actually ran into Rei-san, but she still would rather work by herself. I felt as if I have no room to talk on that one, I would rather eat lunch with myself because I don’t want to…maybe she’s afraid, too, that she will be used or turned on or something. She said that she prefers to work alone because that’s how she does things. But maybe we can at least arrange with her to work together on senshi matters, but she doesn’t necessarily have to become friends with us personally.
I’m sure we’re not always going to be blessed with fighting things that we can kill easily. There’s bound to be something controlling them, and it scares me to think how powerful that thing may be.
Anyhow, to track this thing which Luna was concerned about, a gem which she wonders if it is the ginzuisho or not. We’re going to have to attend a party being given by the gem’s owner. Tsukino-san is excited, it means getting to use the ‘dress-up-phone’ again. I just hope she doesn’t keep using it in public, someone may notice…I need to make sure I’m up to date on my school work, who knows what will happen on Friday at this party.
Been so busy I didn’t get much of a chance to see Tsukino-san today.
She was suggesting, again, that I sit and eat lunch with her and the other girls, but I would feel so uncomfortable, there’s a part of you that doesn’t want to be nice and polite because you know the things they’ve said about you…and even though I always manage to rein in such horrific impulses I don’t want to feel so two-faced.
We did talk briefly on the phone, but Mama-san was actually home, so I had to cut it short to eat dinner.
I should get back to studying.
I think Tsukino-san is wanting to go back over to the Hikawa Shrine soon and talk to Rei-san. It might be a long enough break that she won’t feel like she’s being hounded…
Busy studying and catching up on things that I haven’t been maintaining due to investigating the girls disappearance.
If Rei-san is at another school here…who’s to say other senshi aren’t at other schools in Japan? or even in Europe? or America? That would be tricky to track down.
Or I wonder…is there a reason perhaps why we might all be drawn to Tokyo? Maybe the Princess has some kind of beacon. So, maybe the other senshi are actually at our school? I suppose that really depends who the Princess is.
My mind wanders back to Sailor V. If the pictures on the television and online are anything to go by then she might well have a uniform that’s very like ours, so perhaps she is another senshi, perhaps she is the Princess even? Luna had mentioned that she was going to try and investigate V.
I really need to stop thinking about these things…it’s at the point where it’s not being productive any more.
Just a quick note before I run off to cram school.
Haven’t really been able to talk to Tsukino-san today.
Keep wondering about what happened with Rei-san…and also about this Tuxedo Kamen person who was also at the site of the missing girls.
We had to re-open the portal, and he actually helped Tsukino-san get through the portal in time as something was trying to drag her back.
Could it be that the other senshi guardian we’re missing is male? Because I doubt he could be the princess…
Tsukino-san got the bracelet back to Rei-san, but that’s not even half of it.
She went again today to take the bracelet back…but well…it turns out Rei-san is the priestess at the Hikawa shrine (the shrine that’s curse has been blamed for all the missing girls). Tsukino-san said there were some girls picking on Rei-san, but she managed to dissuade them away, before she came to meet me. I was checking up on the pattern of the girls who were going missing.
We had an interesting time…because the girls going missing had all been mikos at an event the Hikawa Shrine had recently. Then we saw Rei-san also there. We had some very tense time where we disguised ourself as mikos also and were wondering if maybe Rei-san was also a youma, and thought we might have to fight with her, and that was just a bad thought. I was hoping if she was maybe she was a youma the way sensei had been a youma and we could cure her.
Fortunately she wasn’t a youma. While Moon and she were in a strange portal the youma had opened up to trap the kidnapped girls in Rei-san found her own well of power. Hers was centered around fire, and she became the senshi of Mars! Unfortunately she doesn’t feel that she needs to work with us. She left on rather nasty terms with us. I suppose there are some personalities that Tsukino-san’s bounciness wouldn’t go over very well with, and Rei-san’s is one of them.
Tsukino-san was more than a little disheartened by the brush off, but I have a feeling she’ll bounce back.
Tsukino-san’s mother is very animated, and funny. At one point she actually sat on Tsukino-san when they were having an argument about whether or not the coffee her mother had made was tasteless or tasteful. Mama-san is never really home for us to have such a relationship…I think I may be a little envious.
I took my little laptop over with me to Tsukino-san’s. Her mother thought we were studying, so I made sure that for part of the night we did so that Tsukino-san wouldn’t have to lie to her mother.
Luna was still out trying to find information about Sailor V, proof either way as to whether or not she’s the princess or an enemy, and hadn’t gotten back to us. She gave me a phone/henshin (sort of) device like Tsukino-san’s. I say ’sort of’ because rather than facilitate my transformation into Mercury, it enables me to disguise myself as other people.
Tsukino-san was explaining how she’d tried to take the bracelet the girl possibly ‘Rei’ dropped the other day. Tsukino-san had tried to take the bracelet back but the girl is at one of those shrines, and so Tsukino-san got carried away because of all the rumors and scared herself out of giving the bracelet back.
She is wanting to solve the mystery though. I think to prove to both herself and Luna that she’s capable as a guardian. Luna keeps comparing her to me, which I think is unfair, we have different strengths. If it was up to me to pluck up the courage to talk to other people who were potential guardians…I don’t know how I would ever manage it.
I’ve decided I really need to look further into these disappearances, it seems to fit half the problem that we might have with youma. Luna was saying that now we’re Awakened our enemy may start in earnest trying to either ferret out and get rid of other guardians/senshi like ourselves and finding the ginzuisho because of the power that it has.
While the youma haven’t kidnapped people before, that might just because they were interrputed before they had the chance. Or maybe they think that going after individuals rather than large groups of people will be less noticed? Who knows how they think? I’m not even sure I should try to think like them…although there has to be someone or something controlling them. They seem to be drones of some sort, extracted from something nearby.
Back to the research board.
Tsukino-san has invited me to come over to her house and relay my findings. She said also her mother is anxious to meet the new friend that she has been talking to her about.
It makes me wish that my mother was home more often so that I could introduce her to Tsukino-san. She would probably like that I’m finding friends at school. But she’s so busy.
I wonder if Tsukino-san got the bracelet back to that girl she bumped into. We were walking to CROWN after school and she collided with someone. The girl was wearing the uniform of one of the private schools in the area, and there was a bracelet on the ground. I think it said ‘Rei’ if I remember things correctly. Tsukino-san decided she must return it to the girl, and so I am here at CROWN by myself while she does that. I hope things go okay, the girl didn’t seem very friendly, but then Tsukino-san has a way with people. I would know.
