Welcome to Gaia! ::

At the request from several senshi, as she'd well expected but hoped to dodge nonetheless, Chibimoon nodded and looked around for a convenient corner. There was so much going on that talking to everyone was going to be a waste of time; some people did not care about any story that she had to tell and others knew it already. To take up everyone's attention when they were finally about to break up the giant mess of what had started an organized meeting into small interest groups seemed incredibly rude and counter-productive.

Spotting a table towards the far left of the stage the eternal senshi beckoned at anyone who'd care to follow her, hopping up on it with a light thud for the shoddy construction of the thing to sit. "Small Lady Storytime!" Anyone that wanted to listen to the story of the Moon Queen and the start of the war, as well as details about where she had come from and what her role was, could come and listen. Folding her hands in her lap, ankles crossed politely like the lady her mother had taught her to be as she started her story.

"I am sorry for my English, I have only been using it for a few years." It wasn't horrible but there was a light pidgin accent that made some words a bit difficult to understand, her speech a bit slower than it would have been had she been speaking in her own language, or imparting some information less important. "I am going to start at the very, very start a thousand years ago when Queen Serenity was the queen of the Moon." Looking down at her hands in an obvious attempt to pull her thoughts into some kind of order, she told the story that her parents had told her as a child.

"It was called the Silver Millennium and it was all of the solar planets, the asteroids, all the way out to Pluto. Serenity was the wise queen and her daughter was also Serenity, my mother. She was a very pretty, very friendly princess who was a little silly with a lot of dreams. All of the solar senshi had to protect her and they were all very good friends!" Remembering the women that had helped raise her, help train her, her own dear friends made the princess look soft and happy as well as wistful, for she was without them. Thankfully, she was not entirely alone these days.

"Princess Serenity could do anything, was going to be a queen, but she could not do one thing: she could not go to Earth. It was so near, so lovely, but she was always forbidden to go. One day the princess got away from her senshi and came to Earth where she met someone very handsome and very special. He was Prince Endymion, my father, and he loved her very much. Her senshi looked away and let them meet though it was not allowed, though it was very bad, and the Earth people did not like this." This was the uncomfortable part, the part that had always seemed more propaganda and conjecture than actual fact but the fact remained that Serenity and Endymion had always been too wrapped up in themselves to realize what was actually going on.

Hands squeezed tightly together as she thought of how to word it. "The Queen of the Negas, Queen Beryl, they said she loved the prince. She was very jealous of the moon princess for taking him so her heart was weak to Chaos. Chaos said that it was not real, it was a trick so that Serenity would be the queen of Earth." Shrugging a little bit she added on her editorial for a moment. "I don't see why that is bad but they did. A war started and everyone died but Queen Serenity. In the end she used her silver crystal, her ginzuishou to seal Chaos and Beryl away and make everyone born again."

The next part was not entirely important so she skimmed through it fairly quickly with the idea that her mother, Princess Serenity, was reborn as Tsukino Usagi and history started repeating itself. She fell in love with Chiba Mamoru, she had all of her senshi around her, and Beryl was back with a monster vengeance. Beryl was defeated but more and more Chaos-fueled enemies were after the power of the princess and her senshi here on Earth.

Chibimoon did not, even for a second, mention Nehelenia. That evil mirror b***h was not worth a single mention in the history of someone as amazing as Sailor Moon and besides, she was dead and gone. It might come back to strike at Juno and her Amazons which is the last thing Chibimoon wanted, feeling incredibly protective of her own protectors. Loyalty was something incredibly serious to the princess.

Telling history as she knew it had things that had not happened in this timeline, in this world, so she jumped ahead another thousand years. "In my time the Earth had something very bad happen, I do not know what. For a thousand years it was cold and dead until my mother, Neo Queen Serenity, used the silver crystal to make it all better. With King Endymion, my papa, they made a place called Crystal Tokyo and everything was lovely, and happy, and perfect, and wonderful." She might have missed home just a little bit. "We had some bad times but there was a long peace...until one day it all went bad. I do not know what happened, or why I am here, but I found out that my mama and my papa died before I was even born."

It was now that the girl lost her composure a bit, reaching over her shoulder to twist one of her pink pigtails around her hand over and over in a nervous gesture. "I was born a princess but here I am nothing but a girl and a senshi. I do not want to tell you all what to do, how to do it, but if you ask me what I think I will tell you. I don't know what went so very wrong but I am trying to find out and fix it. I have hope that one day I can find Sailor Moon and the ginzuishou but we should not rely on that. We should try to get as strong as we can so that we do not have to wait and hope." Sailor Moon had been the senshi of hope, the senshi of miracles, but her daughter was not so hopeful. Her daughter was not so very strong or blindly trusting.

"I hope...I hope you understood? That it was a good story."

Surprised but grateful, Eternal Sailor Chibimoon wrapped her thin arms around as much as that seal as she could, hugging him tight against her like a teddy bear. She'd noticed that several of the Chibi senshi had stuffed animals almost like their own familiars and she'd envied them a little bit. Hugbell had her bear, Hypnos had her rabbit, Hygeia had her kitty-cat but Allie? Allie had Akio so all of her envy faded away as she squeezed his blubber with a small laugh.

"You are trying to steal my spotlight!"

Oh! Oh of course she had to look serious and like she wasn't some frivolous flip of a princess that was easily distracted. But how did you look serious with a seal in your lap? Instead Allie released her hug a little bit until she was only holding Seal's Eye enough to keep him from falling onto the floor and potentially bruising his pretty, liquid-eyed face as she looked around at the people who'd come to hear her story.

"I know it is a lot to take in but you have the phone yes? I try to answer all my calls, and the messages, and I can talk to you alone if you want to. Sailor Europa did it once and it went real well!" The pleasure Chibimoon got from that little sharing session was almost as brilliant as the pleasure her friends brought with their support. "You don't have to ask all the questions now and I don't mind telling the story a lot if it helps anyone. I think that is what I am good for here and now." If nothing else, anyway, though that turn of phrase was not one that was included in her repertoire of English yet.

Maybe Perry could tell her?

Kallichore was listening intently to Chibimoon's story as it unfolded. So that's the reasoning behind the war... But the members of the Negaverse likely won't listen to us unless we had some sort of proof. But did she say she was from the future? Our future, or...? Now her head was starting to hurt. If she heard correctly, Chibimoon was not from this time or even this Earth. This was all getting very confusing.

Shaking her gray head, Kallichore raised her hand a bit. She had some serious questions for the pink senshi. "Are we sure these events in the past happened the same way on this Earth as they did on yours? Was there some point in our time that caused some... divergence? I mean, if your mother and father died before you were born... You can see where my confusion lies. How is that possible?" There were a great many things Kallichore could wrap her mind around - senseless violence, torture, mirror-walking and corruption, but time-travel and separate yet parallel timelines was something else entirely.

"Are you from the same place Ares and the other parallel senshi were from, or are you from somewhere else entirely?"

Shaking her head vehemently at the mention of Ares and the parallel dimension Chibimoon almost spat out the negative immediately. "No!" Remembering what Akio had said to her Small Lady pushed her dislike for the mirror people away from her with both hands to answer more reasonably. "No, I talked to Luna. She was my mother's guardian cat, she was reborn and I have talked to Cosmos who is very special to me." Saying more than that was not her place, would not be her information to give away, so it was kept to herself. "Everything was the same but something went bad and..and they lost. They lost a battle when I remember a win, the time split and mine...mine..." The princess fell quiet, composing herself by looking down into her lap for a long minute.

"I should not exist. I do not know why I do, there is no Pluto to talk to and ask about time. I was lost, then I was here, and I don't know how to go back where I belong. I don't think I can so I want to help with what I know from my time." Chibimoon knew that she couldn't answer Kallichore to her satisfaction but when even she couldn't answer? "It does not have to be the only answer, but it could help us try to figure it out?"



Knowing that Aster had gone back and wondering how thingshad escalated, or even hopefully defused, Lina climbed back atop the roof to peer down into the room. Everyone seemed bunched in several groups and one around Chibimoon. That could NOT end well....

"This princess sound like she fell out of a Mary Sue how-to," Acubens muttered to those around her, thankful for the information, but put off none the less. Her teacher, at least, fought and suffered for her power. She wasn't born into it. That being said, a history lesson, though long in the making and a little late, was more than welcome. But there was still something that bothered Acubens. One small, yet crucial piece of the puzzle that didn't fall into place with her.

"But what kind of cruel twist of fate is it that the one for whom this war wages, be it by her hand or no, is now dead and gone? What does that mean for the rest of us?" She returned to nervously twisting a braid around her finger, searching her shoes for the answer.

And then there was another thing biting at her curiosity.

"But, Chibimoon... as her daughter... haven't you inherited some power? Something like that crystal... what-cha-jigger? The same as your mother inherited it form her ancestral mother?" Ah, she'd catch hell form Ganymede for that one, she was sure. She was looking to a royal for answers but... hell, if this girl she'd never seen before could end this war right here and right now... she'd be game.

"And... on a different note... if this ancient war only concerned the solar system planets... why are the deeper space civilizations being called upon to fight?"

Their time outside the doors had been spent trying to sooth both Chibimoon and Juno's nerves. For Juno it was as easy as stretching her muscles and attempting to coax her princess into an assisted flip.

They also were given drinks, which was really pretty awesome! Maybe that Seal guy wasn't so bad after all!

Whatever had drawn Chibimoon's attention back into the room had gone unnoticed by the Amazonian, but she was quick to follow back into the room nonetheless.

Settling in nearby for story time, she listened, putting the pieces together with the itty bitty shards she remembered in her dreams. It was nice to hear them all, and to see Chibimoon so engrossed in it as she spoke. It didn't stop her from shooting some warning glares around however as some people questioned her. Her loyalty was unending, almost like that of a canine

Polaris was one senshi who believed in the moon queen, and her daughter. Perhaps it was because she'd met and known so many people tied close to the family. Astraea, or Luna, Kunzite. Maybe it was just because she was the sort of person that wanted to believe. Either way, she was happy to see the young princess return and take the floor.

When Chibimoon moved to the side of the room to tell her story Polaris turned her gaze that way, trying to hear what she could, but she stayed at the stage just in case others wanted to continue on.

As Kallichore approached and spoke, she leaned down a little, answering the girl personally, though loud enough that most in the area would hear it.

"Becoming a princess is kind of like becoming a senshi. Very little is given to you and most is left for you to find out on your own. It is possible if I spent more time on my star I might be able to find some more information but at the moment... I'm afraid I don't have much to offer."

"When I am in my Princess form though I am even more powerful then I am as an eternal senshi. Faster, stronger, sturdier. I would think that this allows me to shoulder a little more of the battle weight on my own shoulders. I intend to try to at the very least."

"I also gained a new power that I can use, and also something else... some.. sort of connection."

"It's really very weird.. it's like I can sense and feel all the magnetic metal around me without even needing to see it." Her words had lowered mildly at that moment, acompanied by a sheepish look at her inability to explain it better.

"I do have a crystal that gives me the power to help purify souls and bring them to the light. But I have not had the oppurtunity to do it yet so.. I can't give any real details on that. I'm not even certain what would happen if we tried to purify someone by force."

"Revelations though... that's a bit of a subjective thing I think. I became more in tune with my home world and my powers. On Polaris I can see things with a clarity I was not able to before. Who knows.. maybe with some time and effort I might be able to find out some information from the past in regards to Chibimoon's story. Or how our homes became destroyed by Chaos."

"I'm sorry that that's all that I have." Polaris would have loved to have all the answer. She would have given just about anything and everything to have the power and insight to finish this war in one fail swoop and protect everyone else from it. But just because she wanted it didn't make it so.

Having answered as best as she could think to Polaris stood upright again, turning to catch Oberon's motion and she nodded a little. The idea seemed like a good one, though he did receive the briefest of scolding looks at the child's use of profanity. Even despise it he was pretty adorable. This war really needed to be over so that her and Azzo could have a whole hoard of adorable little children.

"You're an idiot." Flora said lightly, as she was distracted with messages being pinged back and forth on her phone. Chronos needed backup to meet someone, but Flora wasn't sure that she would be of much help if anything went wrong. Besides, Chronos had replied that Neso, Troy, Virgo and Capricorn were with her, and gave the address they were meeting at, just in case. If anything happened, she would call, and Flora would go to her aid immediately.

But now, she had to put up with Senshi and Knights yelling at each other, and she couldn't help rolling her eyes. There would always be strife. They would always doubt each other instead of being willing to trust; it was so unlike the days when she had first started out, and the Senshi she met had been helpful.

When Chibimoon started her story, Flora grasped Zephyr's arm and dragged him towards the pink-haired Princess. It was intriguing, to hear a story of a past she could not remember. A story in Japan her Princess would have no knowledge of. When she was done speaking, Flora stood on her tiptoes and flashed her a bright smile, resisting an urge to shoot a glare at those who would doubt such a sweet girl.

There was a part of her that wondered if she should say that Princess Chronos could back up that story, especially the one about the past, but remembered that she was currently absent. Besides, there were a certain group of people who doubted her Princess, and Flora did not want to resort to punching them in the face every time they said something rude about her.

"Do people always have to be so wary of those fighting on our side?" She murmured, glancing sideways at Zephyr.
