[Voice/Action... second day & onward]

[The first day, his room had been just like his office back home. Nice and cozy, and made him miss it. But on day two, Mulder wakes to discover that his room is an Antarctic... paradise. His teeth are chattering like mad as he goes off to head out.]

It's f- -f- freezing in here. I hope I still have all my toes, I haven't bothered to count. And m- my c- closet is now an entrance to a top secret base, but I can't open the damn thing! I keep wondering if I can get into it, would I still be able to find anything? I know it's not really home, but if it's an exact replica...

...By the way, if anyone comes across a shape-shifting, dark haired man, DON'T SHOOT. This is important. I've already encountered a couple of them, there may be more. I- Shit, I've got to run-

[Following days: Until the final day of the event, Mulder will be running around town in pursuit of Alien Bounty Hunters who appear to have quite literally invaded Luceti. He's noticeably not carrying his gun although he's got it on him since he knows there's other stuff around. Instead he's wielding this pointy steel weapon.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Mulder notices, though there's no time just yet to ponder it too strongly.]

I'm- [A pause as he thinks he hears something, but it's much too distant to be a problem. At the moment.] -I'm fine, just a little surprised by the sudden influx of... things.

More importantly, are you safe right now? I'll come to help if you're not.

[Mulder is one of the people she feels a bit closer to in Luceti, the people she shares certain common interests with.]

Safety is pretty much relative right now, isn't it? [Though admittedly, he could use the help. He's hot on a Bounty Hunter's trail, but he's running into a lot of interruptions along the way.] ...I could use a hand or two, if you're up to it.

[He's trying to think after that when if ever Ami mentioned being a fighter. Hm... curious...]

[He's in for a bigger shock if they meet up, as she'll be coming transformed.]

Where are you? I'll come.

Let's see, I think... in theory, this is somewhere not too far from the Battle Dome area.

[Not that anything looks like it should right now.]

In theory. [Well it's as good as they've got. Fortunately, she keeps a clear head and has a good sense of direction. It'll be disorienting to see it all completely unfamiliar, but she should be able to get to the right location.]

I'll come, then.

Good, thanks.

[He glances around as he moves forward into yet another scene change... and one that he recognizes from the not so distant past back home]

...It's turned into a corn field.

[Somehow, her voice has no trace of skepticism. She's been in Luceti too long.]

A corn field near the battledome area. I'll be there.

[She closes the journal, and a blue-haired girl in a short-skirted uniform finds Mulder surprisingly quickly; a senshi can move fast when she needs to.]

[Which is fortunate, because the field is easy to get lost in. Mulder is running around, chased by a pack of growling Chupacabras (http://x-files.wikia.com/wiki/Chupacabra). He's lost track of the Bounty Hunter, and is currently torn between fear for his life and thinking that it's so exciting he's finally seeing a lot of the creatures people dismissed as myths back home.]

Who's there?!

[He draws his gun on instinct, transferring the gimlet weapon to his left hand for a moment. Then he stares. That's not exactly what he'd have thought of as a combat-ready outfit, but... He can't explain it. Something is Different about her.]

...Ami...? Am I right in assuming the hair change is not from the local barber?

Like this, please call me Mercury.

[It's no explanation at all, really, and what she's about to do is even less so. She lifts her hand into the air, and a star-shaped tambourine appears in her grip. She points this towards the chupacabras and a bolt of blue energy shoots straight for them.]

Mercury it is.

[That has to have a story to it, but right now there's no time to actually stop and chat. Mulder files that away under "things to ask about when they have a moment to catch their breath" and turns on the approaching creatures.]

[That magic- that power, whatever it truly should be called- is really impressive, and Mulder almost is too distracted and amazed by it. But he catches a rustling sound to the side and shoots at a stray chupacabra.]

[Blame Luceti. Between the nature of the place, the nature of the people in it, the nature of the various dangers, the nature of the drafts especially... and her own mistakes in the Dark Kingdom... and her identity is no longer a very closely guarded secret, though she rarely speaks about it still.

Right now, she can tell Mulder the rest later.]

Mercury Aqua Blizzard (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE5F90fxMdc)!

[She gestures with her hands, and hail and ice fly towards her enemies, encasing them before bursting, shattering them into nothingness.]

Whoa! [Ok, very impressed. Mulder stares in awe, before remembering, he's still got one more enemy to catch. He looks at Mercury thoughtfully.] I doubt even the near-indestructible aliens I'm after would survive that...

Our mission is also to protect the planet from those sorts of dangers.

Would you mind coming with me and incinerating a couple of aliens?

[Mulder gestures ahead, ever mindful of what she's just revealed.]

...Who- what- are you, anyway?

[Pedantic, she thinks for a moment that 'incinerate' is an odd choice of word for ice and water powers. She doesn't say so aloud; she simply agrees.]

I'll come.

I'm a soldier. That may sound like it's not an answer, but it's true. We were, and are, guardians of our most important person.

[Mulder continues along, cautious and listening for sounds of anything moving in the corn... they won't be able to stay hidden for long if they're out there... and he's sure the one -or possibly two- still are nearby.]

Talk about getting the VIP treatment. Who is the person you guard?

[He's leaning toward guessing royalty or deity. Maybe a mesh of the two, he's not too sure yet.]

The moon princess.

[A little from column A, a little from column B. Even if it isn't entirely true anymore, with the past life finally ended and put to rest.]

They have one of those?

[Said in a manner that sounds like he's totally open to the idea, and surprised it's never occurred to him yet. And now he'll connect a couple of dots.]

Wait, if your princess is from the moon, and you're called Mercury... are there more of you on other planets?

Every planet. However, we were reborn on Earth this time. [And who knows, next time?]

'Reborn'? Does that happen often? [Oh, god, so much he needs to know, and he's trying to keep an eye out in case he spots the Alien Bounty Hunter, too.] ...and is that confined to just our solar system? [Leave it to Mulder to think about all of the other random planets out there...]

Sailor senshi have existed since the beginning of time, throughout the galaxy. When we die, we'll be reborn. Me, too. [One day, Mizuno Ami will disappear; Sailor Mercury will still live on.]

[WHY HAS HE NOT YET HEARD ABOUT THIS? Mulder's mind is totally racing with thoughts on what this implies, what it means for the whole universe.]

Do you retain memories of those former lives of Mercury?

[She shakes her head no, but answers yes.]

Sort of. I remember it, but vaguely. It's not very clear. And for a long time, I didn't remember it at all.

But you still inherit the powers... Do you do a lot of fighting, typically?

[Mulder is surprised at how closely-guarded she's been about this, but can understand reasons why she would be.]
