Lunar Boot Camp

[Corwin]

The device reveals itself to be a shelf-like protrusion from the wall, but on top of it is an imprint of a right human palm.

[Ebiris]

With an odd fascination, Rei puts her hand into the imprint to see what will happen.

[Corwin]

Rei's right hand suddenly feels ticklish, and before she can react, the contour of the third stall away from her lights up in a soft red light, a hand-shaped hole melting into its door at waist level. "Welcome, Sailor Mars," a pleasant female voice emanates from the device she has put her hand on.

[Ebiris]

"Oooh! It's personalised to me already," Rei giggles slightly, stepping over to the now crimson illuminated stall and putting her hand in the hole that appeared.

[Corwin]

"Michiru, you naughty girl," a new female voice says, as soon as Rei inserts her left hand into the newly-created slot in the door. "You forgot your glove again."

There is a girlish giggle, and the door to the stall slides open with a whoosh.

[Halbarad]

Ami remains where she is for several minutes before sighing. All I'm doing is thinking in circles, going nowhere.

Remembering Genkai's words about the glove, she heads into the bedroom before activating hers, her luggage appearing in one corner of the room. She returns to the gymnasium a moment later and turns to the old woman.

"Is there a computer or vidphone here anywhere? I suppose I should contact my parents and let them know that my stay here has been somewhat... extended." Ami grimaces.

[Ebiris]

"Michiru?" Rei frowns, "My name is Rei, not Michiru," the Martian Princess remonstrates the... bathroom.

Shrugging it off, she enters the stall so she can begin cleaning herself. Even after Ami's little trick with the water, the dirtiness she felt after being molested demanded a good scrubbing to get herself feeling back to normal.

[Corwin]

"You want to call, do you?" Genkai asks, staring at the little girl intently. "Access communications network," she commands Ami's glove, the jewel glowing dimly in response.

"Please state the destination of your call," a male baritone asks.

[Halbarad]

Ami blinks in surprise, but manages to recover quickly. "Mariner Castle, Mercury. Private access line..." Ami relays a short code to her glove, giving her authorization to connect to the royal family's private secretary.

[Corwin]

"Please remember that this is not a secure connection on both ends," Genkai warns Ami, before turning to Makoto. "Will there be anything else, Dearie?"

[Halbarad]

Ami nods to the woman. "Thank you for your assistance, Ms. Genkai."  Turning back to her glove, she waits for the connection to take place.

[Corwin]

The royal secretary, Cecilia, answers the call. "Mistress Ami?!" she exclaims. "Where have you been?"

[Ebiris]

Giving herself a deep scrubbing where she can remember feeling the wretched little pervert pawing her, Rei follows by rubbing in some soothing oils and shampooing her hair before rinsing off.

That done, she exits the stall and enters the large bath, making sure to stay near the edge, and enjoys a relaxing soak for a while.

Then, before her skin starts to prune,  she exits the bath, going over to towel herself off. Wrapping the large towel around her body, and a small one over her hair, she gathers up her things and leaves the bathroom.

[Halbarad]

Ami's face breaks into a wan smile as she hears the familiar voice. "I'm sorry for leaving with so little warning, Cecilia. I had to take a rather unexpected trip to Luna; Mother and Father know about it. I'm calling to let you know that I have no idea when I'll be returning; Queen Serenity has... retained me on a matter of some import, and I'm not exactly sure when it will be concluded. Please, let my parents know that I'm fine here, and Filia is here to keep an eye on me still. I'll call again once I have a better idea of when I might be back, but until then don't expect me back on Mercury any time soon."

[Corwin]

Cecilia sighs. "If Their Majesties are aware..." she trails off, shaking her head. "Please do take care, Mistress Ami. Make sure to brush your teeth, and go to bed early... and don't give your auntie Filia too much trouble, alright?"
