Minako - the past and the future.

[Anastasia]

Due to various reasons we're all familiar with, Minako won't be continuing past her brief apperence a few weeks ago. In the interests of smooth gaming, we're going to engage in a retcon. Minako hasn't been here long, enough so that said retcon is viable with minimal fuss. The following modifications are in effect:

Her mentions in the volleyball episode with Nior are kept. Minako Aino does exist in this world, but she's not Sailor Venus, or Sailor Venus is never found. Either or, as circumstances dictate. The RPing with Minako leading up to that point may or may not be seriously canon, but it shouldn't matter too much in any event.

The lead up to finding Venus is pretty solidly retconned out, of course. We'll assume the girls were together anyway when Mako called them, and the battle with Balder went roughly the same.

The RPing at the Crown parlor with Usagi and Mina is mostly struck. Usagi did run into Janna there and it partially went as it did, but without Minako. I might clarify this more later, but I rather just need it in place as is since it's been referenced a few times.

The arcade scene with Minako, Ami and Usagi can exist, but Mina wasn't there. For as good as that works out, I suppose.

Finally, we'll quietly nix the occasional Mina references that were scattered as odds and ends, like her having a family obligation at training. That's mostly the cleanup stuff, though, and I'll get it when I get that far in the logs. I will, too. Really.
