Hello, you've reached Rei Hino.
I'm sorry to have missed you.

Please leave a message and I'll contact you as I am able.

[Usagi laughed again, covering her mouth and trying very hard to smother it.]

Well, this would be about the time you become permanently immortal. Does that count as old?

[incandescentfaith]

If I haven't stopped aging, I believe I will soon.

[She can't really tell too well.]

She was being cheeky.

[lightthedarkness]

She must really feel comfortable with you if she feels she can tease you that way.

[incandescentfaith]

I did pull her out of a burning building...after she'd been stuffed into a deer carcass.

[okay. So that is certainly a thing.]

...She knows about Mars. Because I wasn't going to let someone die to save my secret.

[lightthedarkness]

No, I agree, that... it's much more important that she was saved. It's always more important. But you said yourself that we can be more open here... not that I plan on... just going "Hi, my name is Usagi Tsukino but you might see me around as Sailor Moon."

Should I know who else knows about Mars, you think or is it not important?

[incandescentfaith]

I haven't really kept it as much of a secret. So...hmm. Most of the Paladins of Voltron are aware, as is Mami-chan. Chloe, because she's seen inside my memories thanks to a strange fog, and her friend Max. Gwen, Ruby, Diarmuid, and a handful of others.

It's not terribly important, but the people that are closest to me. Or poor unfortunate souls.

[lightthedarkness]

Oh, I don't think I've met any of the Paladins. I've met Mami-chan, Chloe, Gwen and Ruby though.

I don't mind not keeping the secret. It'll be nice to be more open about it! We- I've never gotten that chance.

[incandescentfaith]

Lance, Allura, Pidge, Shiro, Hunk, and Keith. I haven't...actually met Keith, but I know the others all fairly well.

[They...use giant flying lions?]

They're nice. Allura and Shiro have been here forever, though. Unfortunately for them.

[lightthedarkness]

That's... right, okay, guess I'll keep my eyes out.

What does... forever mean? Like, what's the longest someone has been here? When did people first get dragged here?

[incandescentfaith]

Two years. That's how long this place has been taking people...at least, to my knowledge. Chloe is one of the first, she'd probably be able to tell you more.

[lightthedarkness]

Two years... I wonder what started it all, I know it's Sodder but... why? What happened?

[incandescentfaith]

I couldn't tell you. But...it's a mystery for another day, yes?

[lightthedarkness]

[She gave a small nod.]

That's right! Today is Rei-chan's birthday! So today we need to celebrate and be happy!

[She grabbed onto Rei and hugged her again before pulling her further inside her own house.]

Come on come on! Let's have a birthday meal together!

[incandescentfaith]

Absolutely.

[And Rei isn't going to fight her on this. Really, she's looking forward to lunch with a friend. It's been too long.]
