bakerstreet | Welcome to My World!

You could say that. It's a cafe for everyone, but we like coming here together. We've had a lot of good times here.

I see. It's important to have that time. [Her words seem to have a bit of a deeper meaning, but she doesn't say anything else, and is distracted by the approach of a waitress bearing two menus.]

[She knows how precious, and how fleeting, those times are. It just doesn't seem to change that smile and that hope.]

So what do you want to try first?

[For some reason, Fang feels like she shouldn't be able to read the menu, but she can. Maybe it's a primitive version of Gran Pulse's language - or maybe it's that whole dreaming thing just...really vivid dreaming.]

Mmn, I'm not sure. Having a sweet tooth is more of - well - [Fang drops into a brief silence, eying the menu.] What are you getting? One of those thundering chocolate sun-things?

[Hold on. Usagi is currently lost in a sudden daydream of a world with candy weather, from candy floss clouds to a bright white-chocolate sun.

Delicious~]

Hey, want to share one of the giant-sized ones?

[Japan to Usagi, come in please.

Share one? Fang maintains that she's not sure how a thunder of chocolate will taste good but...Well, why not.]

Eh, alright. I'll try it.

[Hey, Fang's the one that put it in her head.]

Great! There'll be enough for both of us; I can't even eat all of one of them!

I'm trusting you this is good, now. [Fang smiles a little.]

[Usagi is not about to be deterred from her cheer.]

Of course it is! Everybody likes ice cream!

We'll see about that. [Fang's still smiling though, so she obviously isn't taking the challenge too seriously.]

[It's while they're waiting for the ice cream that something just feels wrong. Usagi, too used to the feeling, glances around the room, but there's nothing.

She starts to relax again when she hears the screams, outside.]

[It's not l'Cie energy, so Fang doesn't notice that - but she notices Usagi's sudden alertness.

The screams outside startle her, and she's out of the booth immediately. It's too much like Cocoon, when...

The l'Cie pushes the door open, looking for the source of the screams. It's habit, but she's not sure what she's looking for. She'll know the moment she sees it, though.]

[Whoa. Fang moves fast. Usagi barely has time to wonder how she got across the room so quickly before deciding it's for the best: She has a chance to transform without having to make an excuse or being noticed.

She hurries to a corner no one will see, and calls out her transformation.]

Moon Eternal Power, Make-Up!

[It's Eternal Sailor Moon, unrecognizable and dressed in her sailor fuku, that comes to help Fang.]

I won't forgive you for ruining a girl's chance at her first time trying sweet desserts!

[Who the hell is this girl? For some reason, she seems familiar, but Fang can't explain why - but she can worry about that after this - thing. Ceith?

Ceith probably aren't on Japan.

There's a little wry grin and a chuckle as Fang takes her red staff in hand, sliding into a wide fighting stance. She twirls it at her side and above her head with ease and grace, the grin from this new girl's joke turning into a darker one at the promise of a fight.]

This thing a friend o' yours?

[Whatever it is, it's in a costume that looks like a grotesque mockery of Sailor Moon's. The only good news is that at least this one is female in appearance in the process. Plenty hadn't been. It has glasses, and its hair is worn in a tight bun. It introduces itself soon enough: 'Sailor Librarian!']

... Is he even for real?

[She turns to Fang quickly.]

Look, you should get to safety!

I was about t' tell you the same thing! [Fang steps forward as "Sailor Librarian" does, shifting in a protective stance in front of the new arrival.]

"In the name of overdue book fines, you'll be punished!"

[Fang looks at the creature, bemused. She would almost find it funny, if this thing wasn't causing mayhem.]

What th' hell is it goin' on about?

[What is she doing?! Sailor Moon grabs at Fang's arm to bring her down to the ground, just as sharp library-card-shaped objects fly past them.]

She has to find a way to handle this without Fang getting herself hurt for real next time!

Whoa - [Instead of just being drug down, Fang ducks and rolls.] You'll hurt yourself like that! [she warns Sailormoon, even as she gets to one knee and -

Fang is suddenly dashing for the 'librarian', and she blocks another small volley of the library cards with a swift and powerful knock of the blades of one end of her staff. She engages the enemy then, moves effortless, despite the size of her weapon.

There's a sudden thud loud but dull thud, and Fang leaps away. She rubs at her forearm, glaring at the phage who suddenly, somehow, has a comically oversized book in hand - at least Fang blocked.]

You gotta be kiddin' me.

"Sshhh! No talking!"

WAIT!

[But she's calling out to Fang rather than the monster. This is going from bad to worse.]

That's still a person! They can be healed!

Wh - Aah! [The book comes at Fang again, and this time catches her entirely off guard, thanks to being distracted by Sailormoon. She's tossed a good distance away, slamming none too gracefully into a buildinj. Fang falls from the wall to one knee, glaring in Sailormoon's direction, then towards the monster. It seems she's not interested in listening, as she holds her hand out, standing straight. She snaps the staff behind her in one hand in an irritated gesture, left hand coming forward.]

Aeroga! [Wind stirs visibly at her fingertips, and 'Sailor Librarian' suddenly finds themselves hoisted into the air. But aside from the papers encircling them and being startled, they're entirely unharmed, just high enough they can't reach the ground or really do anything. Hand still extended, Fang turns to look at the other girl.]

Human? This thing's human?

What did you do?!

[She looks near-panicked, and runs a couple steps closer to the phage, ignoring the question.]

Is he alright? [She doesn't accuse, but- please tell her that poor person isn't hurt.]

He'd be dead if he wasn't. [Fang sounds irritated.] And you better explain what's going on before he is dead.

[The miniature tornado is already fading, and Sailormoon - you might want to back away before Sailor Librarian's dizziness wears off.]

[She wants to think they can work together, but it's getting worse and worse and a part of her wants to beg Fang to just go. She still doesn't seem the notice the danger in her worry, and with having to try to persuade Fang.]

Please. There isn't time for all of this. Please go. If it keeps on like this, he'll really be hurt and so will we, and everyone else nearby!

Hey! [Fang is quickly between the recovered Phage and Sailormoon, knocking away another volley of library card shuriken. Alright, Fang, you have no idea what's going on in this world, and this blond-haired chick seems to at least understand a little about the enemy. So standing guard, she talks over her shoulder.]

You said it can be healed.

What needs to be done? [She's apparently not going to go - but she doesn't seem intent on killing the thing in front of her, considering her words and defensive stance.]

I can heal them! So, please, let me! [Though at least for now the phage is contained. That helps to be sure others will be safe.]
