1 [Accidental Video]

[The PCD clicks shows a girl dressed rather inappropriately for the landscape she has found herself in. She appears battered, bruised, as if she has just been involved in a large fight... which Sailor Mars has definitely fought.]

Where -- where am I? Hello? This doesn't look like where I was... at all. Is this a trick from the Wise Man?

[Mars' voice trails off as the girl pushes herself up to her red high-heeled feet, dusting off her white gloves. She winces aloud at movement. She also pays no attention to the PCD, which is still lying on the ground, unnoticed.]

That beating was worse than I thought.

[Mars cups her hands around her mouth to yell.]

Sailor Moon! Sailor Venus! Jupiter! Mercury! Chibiusa! This isn't good, this isn't good at all... Usagi, where are you?! Is this some kind of trick?

Stopped back home.

[Pause.]

Right now, you're in a different world. You were pulled here through something that likely has nothing to do with whatever is happening in your home world, and your reality.

We've discovered that while you're here, time back in your reality stops, and you'll be returned at the same instance you left. So right now, everything back there is fine, okay?

[Mars stares incredulously at Alphonse, eyes narrowed in suspicion. Everything about this screamed dark forces, right down to the alternate dimension... but something about the boy -- and, in fact, everyone who had spoken to her so far -- told her she was wrong.]

It's not fine back home, at all, but...

[She hesitates. Best not to give anything away about her uncanny sense of intuition.]

What's your name?

Well... it won't have changed. It won't have gotten worse, and you won't ever be gone, technically.

[He knows what it is to worry about stuff back home.]

Alphonse Elric, or Al. What's yours?

[flameandpassion]

I'm Sailor Mars.

[Sorry, Al, no real names just yet. Maybe tomorrow.]

How can I not be gone? I was just there, fighting with my friends...

[She pauses. Maybe they're here, too...?]

Are there a group of girls here, dressed like me? Maybe they got pulled here too.

[No hurt feelings, being cautious keeps people alive.]

Not that I've seen, no. I'm sorry.

[Mars' face falls only slightly before setting into a grim look of determination. Alone? That's fine. Her friends don't need to endure whatever test this is.]

It's not your fault. Thanks.
