Scene #754: Srs business time

Owner	Pose
Chrono Harlaown	Chrono Harlaown was standing on the roof of one of the museums, in full henshin. Fenyx was resting on his shoulder. Chrono well... He had a firm, determined look on his face. The kind of look he often had when... well, when things were serious. Granted, it looked a lot like the face he normally made. It was all in the eyes, the way they seemed to focus so intently. He was staring out over the park. He idly wondered if this was the right choice... but no. He'd spent too much time in play. If he waited too long... if he waited too long he might lose the chance. He might lose... His hand clenched his rod tighter. He wouldn't lose his mother. He wouldn't lose ANY of the crew. He didn't care how much her had to turn this world upside down to find them. He'd called Setsuna and Rashmi to meet with him, intending to deal with a few loose ends before he leaves. Very important loose ends.
Rashmi Terios	"...Chrono?" As Rashmi dipped from the airspace above the museum, she caught a glimpse of Chrono's expression. It worried her, the set of that face. It reminded her too much of Hannah, when the blind Belkan's mask slipped. Touching down next to the boy, the redhead slips an arm around his shoulders, worry filling her eyes, behind her glasses. "...Are you... okay?"
Setsuna Meiou	Given that the call was to meet on the roof of a building, it was basically inevitable that Sailor Pluto would show up in that form. While she might be able to pull off things a tiny bit past human norms de-henshined, she's only ever going to be able to do multi-story leaps in her Senshi form. Thus, a few moments after Rashmi arrives, she lands not too far away, having made the leap from a nearby building before she walks over, absently tapping the roof tiles with the butt of the Garnet Rod as she goes, "Greetings you two. What's going on?"
Chrono Harlaown	Chrono Harlaown glanced towards her when she arrived. And when she moved to put an arm over him... he reached up and gripped her elbow, shaking his head. There was a time and a place for everything, but not now. "Things are fine enough, Terios-san," Chrono said. "But this is important and I need to speak with both of you, not just as Chrono. But as an enforcer of the TSAB." Ahhh. A man who was devoted entirely to his duty. Poor Rashmi, being the other partner in his life. He then glanced to Pluto and gave a nod. "Three things, actually. The first relates directly to you. I'm doubtful there will be much you can tell me, but well... are you at all able to access memories or contracts of a magical nature, say from about 14,000 years ago?" Just casually says it. Like it's just a thing she could possibly do. Apparently something like that ISN'T the kind of thing that'd freak him out.
Rashmi Terios	When stopped from showing affection, for a moment Rashmi looks hurt. When the -san is put in front of her name, Rashmi looks scared, as if the next thing out of his mouth is likely to be a 'we can't anymore.' So when he says he needs to talk to her in an official capacity, the relief is almost enough to bring tears to her eyes. Letting out a long, slow breath, she nods... and takes a step back. This is gonna be a thing that will take some processing. Not sure quite what to do with her hands, she simply hugs Nicomachea to her chest, bewildered, listening to Chrono address Pluto.
Setsuna Meiou	As Chrono grabs Rashmi's elbow when she tries to offer him a moment of comfort, Sailor Pluto's eyes narrow fractionally and she frowns slightly. Of course, that COULD just be her getting serious, as well. Maybe. As Chrono asks his question, however, she puts a little weight on her staff as she gets a thoughtful look, then tilts her head, "What, precisely, are you asking? I can remember things that happened back then, but not everything...so you'll need to be a little more specific." A glance is given over to Rashmi and her expressions...and Pluto's eyes narrow again.
Chrono Harlaown	Chrono Harlaown dug the tip of his rod into the ground, just a little bit. "As far as I know, there may have been contracts woven between certain entities in that bygone era. Contracts that lasted until this time, woven in magic and traversing lifetimes, even reincarnations. I don't know if the contracts truly exist or not, it is possible they're entirely a fabrication. But if these contracts do exist... well. I would appreciate your aid. We're attempting to break these contracts, to free those held under a demon's spell." Pause. "Alas, I considered just destroying the demon itself, but for the moment that isn't entirely an option. But it is standing as a possible plan B. This planet has a startling high amount of magical power, as it were."
Rashmi Terios	This is all pretty new news to Rashmi, too. Contracts, demons, magic surviving across reincarnations... Thinking this over, Rashmi mentally shrugs, figuring it has to do with something so well outside her bailiwick she'd be more hindrance than help. So... old habits take over, and she quietly leans against an HVAC unit, listening without putting her foot in. Either she'll learn enough to be useful, or she'll be called on when it's her turn. This is Too Important and Too Official to interrupt.
Setsuna Meiou	Sailor Pluto blinks, then arches her eyebrows, "Ah. THAT kind of thing. Yes. Demon contracts are...possible...and they wouldn't fade with time unless the contract specifically stipulated some kind of date. But if they are, there SHOULD be a copy SOMEWHERE of the contract. The demon themself is going to have a copy, at the VERY least...as the copy will be the physical lynchpin of the agreement. If the person MAKING the contract had a LICK of sense at all, they'd have their own copy...but sadly, most people who make such a deal RARELY have the sense for such a thing...as Demon contracts by nature are set up to eventually screw over their recipients. Getting the best of one is POSSIBLE, but by design very, very, very hard." She frowns, "...but one from 14000 years ago? The number of people alive from then are...VERY few." She tilts her head, "...WHOM is the contractee?"
Chrono Harlaown	Chrono Harlaown was silent for a moment, considering how to answer this. Was it breaking agreements, trust, to mention it to her? To tell her? No. Setsuna and Rashmi were the two people, more than any other, she could trust. "A man in obsidian, named Hematite. He is trying to break free from the organization, but the problem being that his friends are bound up in some contracts with a demon. The key issue being they don't have access to the contracts and are unsure if they can break them. We're trying a number of methods to get this information, but... Well. I figure who else better to speak with about it than you. Well, I have one other contact... but I imagine he will not be quite as useful." ... And he'd need to be bribed with cheese.
Rashmi Terios	"Hemat-- oh!" Rashmi blurts from her position, then hunches her shoulders. "Sorry," she murmurs, clearing her throat. "Just... I've met him a couple times. And if he's not there by choice... Well... a few things make sense." That, sadly, seems the extent of her contribution to this particular conversation. Back she does into Info-Sponge mode.
Setsuna Meiou	Sailor Pluto...acually seems to relax, "Ah. So THAT'S why Hematite hasn't booked it yet." Apparently, she's at least aware of him and who he is. She frowns a bit, "...it really, really depends on the specifics of the contract and whether they personally signed it or if they were bound into it by other agreements." She sighs, "Depending on the Demon and it's nature, sometimes it's actually remarkably easy to trick them into at least letting you SEE the contract again to read the wording. Some of them get off on watching their contractees squirm as they realize how screwed they are. Alternatively, it's sometimes possible to bargain with certain entities for the information...but it's not always possible and the price is usually pretty high." She then looks over at Rashmi, "Have they gotten you that file they wanted Nicomachea to take a swing at decrypting yet? If not, I have a copy for you."
Chrono Harlaown	Chrono Harlaown glanced to Rashmi. "Hm? That's good. Don't feel you aren't welcome to make contributions during this discussion, Terios-san. I value your knowledge and thoughts as a fellow mage. There is always something that can be missed without the right eyes." He then glanced towards Pluto and nodded. "We're working on it. Alas, the few who may have knowledge don't have the memory for it, as it were. I was hoping you'd have access, somehow. As for the file, yes. Both of us have een working on it. In fact, at this moment our devices are working to translate it."
Rashmi Terios	"Oh," Rashmi says, perking up a bit and smiling at Setsuna. "Yeah no, Naru-chan got us a copy and the preliminary work they did finding a key to the code." Gesturing to Chrono as he says the rest, Rashmi gives the back of Chrono's head an odd look; like mixed messages are getting received, and it's not entirely clear what she should do at this point.
Setsuna Meiou	Eyes are narrowed again. It's often said 'History Repeats Itself'. Those who study it, however, generally instead say 'History Doesn't Repeat Itself, But It Often Rhymes.' The same is true of personal relationships...and when one is dealing with someone with as much people-watching experience as Pluto has... Well, something feels 'off'. She glances over at Rashmi for a moment and makes sure to make direct eye contact with her...and hoping the other woman is quick enough on the uptake to catch a silent request. Turning back to Chrono, she affects a more relaxed expression, "...so, that was the first thing. What was the second?"
Chrono Harlaown	Chrono Harlaown sighed and then glanced away for a moment. "The second is... I have something for the two of you, as well as something for Osaka-san," he said. And there it was. That... slightly embarrassed look. Those red in the cheeks. He thought this was somewhat silly. Or... not a good idea. But then, well... He pulled out something from his device. A little... tiny... gadget? Three of them. They had a button and... He pushed them. Name: Sailor Pluto Position: Temporary TSAB mage. Name: Rashmi Terios Position: Temporary TSAB mage. Name: Naru Osaka. Postion: Temporary TSAB dispatcher. Holographic displays with that information and their faces were shown. "It's... mostly ceremonial, I suppose. As the TSAB doesn't have much of a presence here. Be that as it may, as an Enforcer I am more than able to grant a temporary field position to people on the planet I operate in and all three of you have more than earned the rights, as far as I am concerned. There are very few I could trust with TSAB affairs." "... Which brings me to the third topic. I ummmm... will be leaving for a bit. Not too long, mind. Just a week or so. I may have a lead on where a member of the Arthra's crew is. I'll be within contact, but I won't likely have... boots on the ground, as it were. I wanted to take care of both of these affairs before I left, as well as one of you to give the third device to Osaka-san. I thought about leaving it in the new base, as it were. But I felt it would... be more impactful if she were to receive it from someone with their own position now."
Rashmi Terios	Rashmi does indeed meet Setsuna's eyes, and all the green-haired Senshi gets is the mightiest of facial-telepathy shrugs. Clearly, Rashmi has no idea what has come over Chrono, and why the sudden need for distance when he's clearly not at his healthiest. Then Chrono offers the gadgets, and activates them... And Rashmi sees her own face on official documentation. 'Temporary,' sure, but... in reality, that's like 'acting' special agent. Even if it's not official, you're still enough of one that someone needs you to act like it. She's already reaching out to take hers, when Chrono announces his intent to leave, and for a moment the redhead looks simply poleaxed. "...Oh," she says at first... Then takes in a deep breath, visibly gathering her courage. If Chrono can win her heart by being more honest than he ever intended to, then surely she can do the same by being exactly as honest as she ever could be. "...Chrono?" No -san, never -san to her. If official doings need to be done in front of authority, she will study up and learn the forms of address and use them, but here and now, on this world, it will always only ever by 'Chrono. "I hope you find them I really, really do. And I know we're both new to this, so we're gonna make mistakes, but before you go?" And absolutely disregarding Pluto's presence, she lunges forward, wrapping her arms about the Enforcer's shoulders and planting a long kiss on his lips. And when she lets go, her cheeks are utterly aflame. "...Just so you know what you're coming back to," she says, adjusting her glasses.
Setsuna Meiou	Sailor Pluto mentally sighs as Rashmi kind of gets the idea but misses the cue she was intending. Ah, well...problems for later. Still, when the badge is offered, she blinks, then reaches out to accept it, and she she spends a few minutes looking it over and assuring herself of which side is up, where the button is, how to orient it and the like...the she twists her wrist and drops the badge into her personal pocket before tilting her head and asking, "A WEEK? Where is this potential crew member? France?"
Chrono Harlaown	Chrono Harlaown gave a CERTAINLY not in the slightest bit 'TSAB Enforcer' approved squeak and flail when he was kissed. Arms flailing up and down and everything, like a startled bird. Fenyx could be heard chirp-laughing a bit away. "R-rashmi!" he squeaked out after. "T-that's not, I mean, I just, you're..." and then covered his face with his hands for a moment, trying to will his blush to go away. It was unsuccessful. He pulled up after a moment before sighing. "As if it's not already incredibly hard to do this. And no, I should still be in the country. It's just, well. I'll need to do a thourough search and that will take time. In best case, I'll be back in a few days. But I imagine it'll take at least a week. But... it's uhhh..." "It's not a d-dangerous mission or anything, Ra-- Err, Terios-san. T-there's no need to uhhh, b-be so... ummm..." And oh gosh he couldn't even look her in the eyes anymore. He was i nfull flustered mode and TRYING to remain srs business.
Rashmi Terios	"Chrono," Rashmi says quietly. "There is need to be so. I'm not trying to make it harder to go. I'm trying to make it easier. Because..." She holds the gadget up, clicks it on to show her Official TSAB ID. "This is so cool, but like... This isn't all I am to you. I know that, you know that." "So... I'll do my best to be the TSAB mage you think I can be, but uh... Your girlfriend also wants to see you off on your mission with a smooch. Both of those things can be true at the same time, Chrono... It's okay." Rashmi smiles gently. "You don't have to worry that I'm not gonna pay attention just because I want to wrap us both up in a blanket with some cocoa, like, all the time. I know when something's important."
Setsuna Meiou	Sailor Pluto smiles and shakes her head at Chrono's flustration. Then she takes a moment to pinch the bridge of her nose as she asks again in the tone of someone dealing with well-meaning but slightly absentminded family member, "...Chrono...WHERE in the country are you going and HOW are you intending to GET there? These are both important questions that as your friends and allies we both A: Need the answers to, and B: Can perhaps HELP with?"
Chrono Harlaown	Chrono Harlaown nodded, nervously scritching his cheek and nodding to Rashmi. "Y-yes. I... r-right. I uhhhh... yes. That... that is a thing. I mean, errr. Ahem. I know. I..." And then, gently, he reached out and took her hand. "Ter... Rashmi. I trust you. I have every faith in you, both as a mage and as a girlfriend. I know you won't let me down in any way. I'm... more concerned with myself, if anything." The woes of a perfectionist. He then glanced to Setsuna. "Well, my current intent is to fly there," he said, holding up his device. "And I'm not entirely sure on the streets and city, exactly? I can send you updates as I go, however. I know it's to the north. I've traveled long distances by flight hundreds of times, and I have more than adequate supplies to be gone for weeks even if I was on a barren planet, which this is anything but. I have everything under control, I assure you. I'm, admittedly, more concerned for how things will be with me gone, but I know with people like you two handling things, they'll be fine."
Rashmi Terios	"So like... Hokkaido?" Rashmi ventures, tilting her head. Her free hand covers his, and the redhead looses a quiet sigh. "Take some money with you too, because while you could live just fine off your supplies, I mean... don't go that far north and not try the food. You owe it to yourself." Bringing the hands up, she presses her lips to Chrono's knuckles. "Also just... be safe, okay? Come back as quick as you can, I'd rather not have to miss you longer than necessary." Glancing at Setsuna, Rashmi shrugs. "I'm not really sure what else to do... But I think Setsuna-chan needs to see the Shed sometime soon."
Setsuna Meiou	Sailor Pluto rolls her eyes, "North? Just 'north'? Is it on this island or Hokkaido? Because if it's Hokkaido, I'm booking you a seat on the Shinkansen there and back. Otherwise, if you at LEAST know the GENERAL area, I can help you out by booking you a room so that you're not just camping out in the open wherever." She gives him a good natured smirk, "I'm not sure if you've noticed, but it gets COLD out this time of year, ESPECIALLY places 'North' of here. Plus, I'm quite certain that you'll be FAR better able to run a pattern search if you're well rested because you've got a proper place to stay." She then looks over at Rashmi and arches an eyebrow, "Shed?" Then she taps her chin, "Actually, getting you an expense card for this kind of thing would probably be a good idea all around."
Chrono Harlaown	Chrono Harlaown blinked a few times, opening his mouth to object... then sighing and nodding. "If it will help, of course. I'll have Fenyx with me this time as well. So even if things go poorly, I won't be alone." Annnnd no, his cheeks were not going to stop being red for a while, thank you very much Rashmi for that knuckle kiss because he'd be able to heat himself for daaaays thinking about that. "I'll be safe. I promise. I assure you. Believe it or not, I've been doing this kind of thing for years. I've traveled alone through rainstorms, sleet, an acid rain once... though I'd like to never repeat that one." Magic armor made things survivable. Not exactly pleasant. Of course, then Sailor Pluto made her offers and Chrono just gave a good natured, if slightly exhausted sigh before nodding. "Very well. And the fact it would give you complete awareness of where I am located on a day to day basis has nothing to do with this offer?" he asked in a teasing tone. "Not that I mind, having support staff on a mission always increases the chances of success. Just because I've become used to playing the role of 'generic standalone' mage doesn't mean I like to do it anymore than I have to. So I would, graciously, accept and be thankful for your generous assistance, Sailor Pluto." He did, however, look surprised when the shed was mentioned. "Wait... truly? I... I'll be honest. I assumed that Sailor Pluto had been a part of its construction."
Rashmi Terios	"More like 'The fact that we know you both will be warm, out of the snow, and well fed will keep us from worrying more than the bare minimum for you,'" Rashmi points out, a bit wryly. "You might be used to this, but it's a new thing for me to see you off on a mission. And at least this way, Setsuna-chan will always be with you in spirit." Because really, in this day and age, how much more present can one possibly be than through a credit account? Glancing at Pluto, Rashmi grins. "The Shed. Naru-chan showed us a couple days ago, now we have our own super-secret planning lair. You'll like it!"
Setsuna Meiou	Sailor Pluto snorts at Chrono's response, then points at Rashmi, "See, SHE'S the smart one...because her answer was FAR more correct. We're going to worry about you. Heck, if her parents would let her go off that long, I'd be more than happy to check Rashmi out of school to go with you...and having someone else to search would certainly cut down on the time it takes you." She shrugs, "And in any event, knowing roughly where you are means that, in the very miniscule chance you actually need backup, I'll know where to GO to do so." She then looks over at Rashmi, "...actually, WOULD your parents let you go that long?" She's pretty sure her first guess of 'no' was right, but might as well ask, after all. Then she blinks, "I'll have to take a look with you sometime, then...but no, this is my first time hearing about it as well."
Rashmi Terios	"Oh my word no, not during the school year," Rashmi confirms. "If this was next month's break, that'd be different... But not now, not for a week, and not with the grades I'm pulling in math." At this, Rashmi heaves a deep sigh, then chuckles at Setsuna's reaction. "I can see why he thought that though, it's right up your alley. I won't say anymore though, that'd spoil the surprise."
Chrono Harlaown	Chrono Harlaown gave a soft sigh. A... not unhappy sigh, though. "She really is brilliant, isn't she?" Chrono asked, before going a bit red again at his display of affection. "Err... but yes. She, err, you are both very capable and I trust you implicitely. I know you'll take care of things while I'm gone but... no." He glanced to Pluto. "I know I'm always a bit... lax in my own schooling, but that is because I've BEEN through school already. An education is very important and I'd rather not put undue stress on Rashmi's education than is necessary. She already has enough to worry about between her patrols and other tasks, without adding a week of missed school to the mix." ... And, to his great delight... Rashmi's parents had the same idea. "Even though I'll be on the clock, as it were, I've begun to organize some educational assignments for myself to learn more of this world, during my downtime, so I shouldn't fall behind even in the fields I haven't graduated yet." ... That was right. He did, in fact... assign himself homework. Only Chrono.
Setsuna Meiou	Sailor Pluto snorts and gives Rashmi a LOOK, "...you do realize that YOU can ask for help, too, right, Rashmi-chan? I'm QUITE certain I've done whatever math you're having issues with, after all."
Rashmi Terios	"I have been," Rashmi admits. "Math is, just, never my strong suit, and trigonometry's like trying to make hot oil stick to Teflon, I swear. Naru-chan's helping me some, but I'll probably end up asking you to help me cram before finals, because I do not want to start off my time at the biggest and best school in the country with a C in anything." "...Speaking of, if any of your homework's for World History? I'll send you a list of WeTube people who actually do really neat videos. They're fun, and they go way more in depth than most books do." Chrono may be assigning himself homework, but Rashmi is determined to be a study aid. Which of the two is weirder?
Chrono Harlaown	Chrono Harlaown gives a soft, oddly content sigh. "I have the best girlfriend," he said with a light chuckle. "And I uhhh... I'd be happy to help you with math once I return as well. If you'd like. Perhaps we could even do study dates together." He might actually have reason to really focus on classes then! It'd be a miracle. "History videos? Sure. It couldn't hurt to learn more about this world." He then smiled to Setsuna. "But again, thank you for your aid. I really only have one more task I need to perform before I can depart. So... I doubt I'll see you again before I leave. But thank you, for everything, Sailor Pluto. I look forward to returning and working alongside you again. As for you..." He glanced to Rashmi. "I would be surprised if I don't see you again before I leave. I may lack... some awareness of how things are done, but I don't believe there is any world or place where one does not say goodbye to their girlfriend before departing on a week long trip."
Setsuna Meiou	Sailor Pluto just gives the two of them a bit of flat look as they talk about learning 'World History'. She figures the penny will drop there sooner or later. She then shakes her head, reaches out and twitches her hand for a few moments before finally giving that that little twist she does and producing her phone. A few taps are given, then she nods, "There. Remember that credit gift card I got you to buy snacks with? I just added funds to it so you can use it to pay for lodgings and travel. And unless you're able to fly at 320 klicks an hour for extended periods, if you're going very far, take the Shinkansen. If you're going to one of the smaller islands, take one of the ferries. They run basically everywhere and they're a lot safer than trying to fly over water if you don't know where you're going."
Rashmi Terios	Rashmi catches the tail end of that look, and returns it with one of her own. "C'mon Setsuna-chan, if we asked you for help with everything that you lived throughthat we don't know, you'd never get anything else done!" Chuckling, she looks back to Chrono. "Study dates are a wonderful idea, Chrono dear. ...I mean any dates sure, but study dates, definitely." Once more, Rashmi leans down to plant a brief kiss on Chrono's nose, then moves back. "I look forward to saying goodbye, but not half as much as I look forward to saying hello again."
Chrono Harlaown	Chrono Harlaown nodded. "That and you'd likely teach us about world history as it happened and, sadly, history classes on this planet are often concerned about things like 'dates' and 'numbers' rather than the motivations and effects of history." ... He had opinions about it. "And thank you, Sailor Pluto. I will return once I am able, hopefully successfully." If he failed... There it was, that little twitch to the eyes. That sign of his own growing anxieties. "I will look forward to saying hello as well. I will miss you, my little angel..." And then he glanced to Setsuna. "As for you... I will half expect to meet a past or future you while on my travels, as it would not surprise me to find you breaking even more laws of reality. But you should join us on a study date sometime. If for no other reason than you could probably give us valuable insights and we could make you swoon when we're being cute," he said in a playful tone. Then blinked. "What? No I didn't," he said, glancing to Fenyx. And then went scarlet and face palmed. "She... she knows what I meant..." Fenyx had been all too keen to inform her boss that he, technically... just asked Setsuna out on a date.
Setsuna Meiou	Sailor Pluto, for her part, just leans on the Garnet Rod and smirks at the poor boy. She remains quiet long enough that the moment is ALMOST past before giving a quick wink towards Rashmi then raising a hand to cover her mouth as she adopts a 'scandalized' expression, "Oh, MY. How FORWARD, Chrono. WhatEVER would people THINK?"
Rashmi Terios	"I'm pretty sure there's at least one person on campus with two girlfriends," Rashmi deadpans. "They'd probably just think he was catching up." ...Which is about when her ability to control her expression fails, and she dissolves into snorting chuckles. "Well at least we won't have to worry about you being lonely on your trip, Chrono," she says with a shake of the head.
Chrono Harlaown	Chrono Harlaown sighed and face palmed a second time before responding in a deadpan tone. "That I've already gone beyond my reach once, I am merely attempting it a second time. A-and yes, just because Hannah does it doesn't mean I intend to! It's not a 'space' thing! She's a belkan, I'm midchildian, entirely different things!" his voice actually cracked a little there, making him a little squeakier for a moment. Meanwhile, Fenyx was chirping so hard she almost fell over. "... They're crazy and they're mean and they tease me and don't take me seriously but they're my family and I love them," Chrono said in a tone as if he was... quoting something. Or someone. Sailor Pluto would at least get the reference. "And trust me, if I ran into a past or future version of Sailor Pluto, lonely would be the least of my worries. The infinite library is the primary type of 'time travel' magic that the TSAB involves itself with, actual time travel is incredibly dangerous and destructive."
Setsuna Meiou	Sailor Pluto gives a soft smile at Chrono's quote, then walks over and reaches out to muss his hair, "I think you'd best be getting now before you or we find more ways to terminally embarrass you, Chrono."
Rashmi Terios	"She's not wrong," Rashmi says, leaning down to give him a proper hug, of the sort that has always seemed to help him feel calm and safe. "Go get ready to go, and I'll see you when you're going to head off. And there'll be real cocoa waiting for you when you get back."
Chrono Harlaown	Chrono Harlaown nodded, reaching up to give her a hug. He then walked to the edge of the roof, before pausing. He motioned for Fenyx to go ahead. Once she was gone, he glanced back to the two of them. "But... in full seriousness... if anything should happen to me... I fully expect you to take care of Rashmi for me, Sailor Pluto. I know you'd make an excellent replacement." Yes, he could, in fact, tease. A little bit. Sometimes. He then leaped off the roof, flying awayyyy! Sailor Pluto couldn't fly so he was totally saaaafe!
Setsuna Meiou	Sailor Pluto waves at Chrono as he goes...but once he's safely out of earshot, she quietly says to Rashmi next to her, "...can Nicomachea do illusions? Because I TOTALLY wanna screw with him when he gets back."
Rashmi Terios	"....Not really?" Rashmi answers, watching Chrono fly off, trying to figure out if she should be laughing or annoyed. "But if you happen to know anyone who's good at editing videos, he can do movie files."
