   > applies to the Senshi, too! Hmmm, maybe I'll do a PWP crossover…   
      
   MARY JO: Don't you mean "do *another* PWP crossover?"   
   FRANK  : ZING!   
      
   > "Find anything?"   
      
   TRACE  : Nope, still haven't found the plot.   
      
   > Touma frowned as he worked the keyboard. "I'm not sure, Mamoru-kun.   
   > There's something odd about a section of the United Kingdom, but   
   > it's vague. The computer knows something's there, but it's not sure   
   > what. Whatever this is, though,"   
      
   JOSH   : That's nice.  Now who are you, again?   
   JOEL   : Is he talking about Hogwarts or Brigadoon?   
      
   > he turned to Mamoru, a serious and worried look in his blue eyes.   
   > "It isn't the Dark Kingdom. Not as we know it."   
   >   
   > He sighed. "I wish I was there, knew what was going-" he cut   
   > himself off as a beautiful snowy white owl had sailed through the   
   > window. Touma frowned as he took the note. He patted the owl   
   > gratefully, who nipped his finger affectionately before setting   
   > itself on a roost that Touma had set up after it had become   
   > apparent that owls would be visiting.   
      
   JOSH   : Actually, it was tasting him.   
   FRANK  : [Owl] Soon, human...  Soon.   
      
   > "It seems that a person's been attacked," he said softly. He gave   
   > the note to Mamoru, who quickly scanned it. When he looked up, his   
   > blue eyes were dark with worry.   
   >   
   > "Is there a way we can scan for this type of magical energy?"   
   >   
   > "How?" Touma asked. "I'd need a sample."   
   >   
   > The owl hooted suddenly and they both looked at it. The owl, which   
   > had been preening itself offered a feather now.   
      
   MARY JO: [Owl] Here, dumbass.   
      
   > Touma took it and sighed.   
      
   JOEL   : [Touma] Whatever happened to problems I could just punch?   
   JOSH   : For those playing along at home, Touma is from Youriden   
   Samurai Troopers, better known to us gaijin as Ronin Warriors.  So   
   that's another ingredient in this fandom gumbo of a fic.   
      
   > "It's worth a shot."   
   >   
   > "I'm worried."   
   >   
   > Mars sighed and ate her breakfast. She'd managed to stop Malfoy's   
   > barrage of questions about Chibimoon with those two words.   
      
   TRACE  : [Whistles] Heeere, scene change!   
      
   > "Why?" he asked. "No one's been attacked in a week, so maybe the   
   > menace is gone. And Madam Pompfrey's been working on an antidote."   
   >   
   > "We sent an owl off to the Samurai Troopers.." she said softly.   
   > "She still hasn't returned."   
      
   FRANK  :  [Mars] Stupid non-instant communication   
      
   > Malfoy shrugged. "And? Owls take their time.   
      
   MARY JO: And you're not going to offer up any faster alternative   
   like floo powder or magic mirrors, are you?   
      
   > Oh!" he said, remembering something. "Don't forget the Quidditch   
   > trials are this afternoon. You will be trying out, won't you?"   
      
   JOEL   : [Mars] I don't play sports I understand.  Why would I go   
   out for Flying Calvinball?   
      
   > "Of course," Mars said, smiling. Malfoy hadn't been so bad to her   
   > since she'd been sorted into his house. As a matter of fact, he'd   
   > even been sort of friendly.   
      
   JOSH   : That's damning with faint praise.   
      
   > "I'll go, even if it's only to see Sailormoon make a complete fool   
   > out of herself."   
      
   TRACE  : Seriously - you have names!   
      
   > She opened her mouth to describe Sailormoon's equilibrium in her   
   > usual life when she saw a white owl flutter to the Gryffindor   
   > table. She leapt up from her table and joined the other Senshi,   
   > Harry, Hermione and Ron as they all clustered by the stairwell.   
   >   
   > "What does it say?" Hermione asked anxiously. Mercury scanned the   
   > note and smiled.   
      
   FRANK  : [Mercury] It says a Nigerian prince is offering us ten   
   million dollars!  What's that in yen?   
      
   > "They were able to get a lock on the source of power that's   
   > actually selecting hosts and draining them. It's been moving   
   > slowly, but it's starting to pick up the pace…" she trailed off as   
   > she continued reading. "It's centred above Hogwarts. There's   
   > nothing we can do, though, until it attacks again. Touma wants us   
   > to send an owl to him so he can notify us when it's active."   
      
   MARY JO: If you know where it is, why the hell can't you do   
   anything to it?   
   JOEL   : For that matter, why aren't you telling Dumbledore this?   
   JOSH   : The answer, as always is "Because."   
      
   > "We'll send Pig," Ron said immediately. "Let him annoy someone else   
   > for awhile."   
   >   
   > "There are notes in here from the guys, too. Usagi, Mamoru-san says   
   > he's saving all the new issues of Sailor V for you when you return.   
      
   TRACE  : [Venus] WOO!  More royalties!   
      
   >  Chibiusa, Gohan says he's willing to help any way he can.   
      
   JOSH   : Translation: Tell me where to go and who to blast.   
      
   > Rei, Ryo wants to know where you hid his present, he says he can't   
   > take it anymore. Makoto, Shin says he's got a surprise for you when   
   > you come back."   
      
   JOEL   : That all sounds pretty dirty, actually.   
      
   > "What's yours say, Ami-chan?" Mercury flushed.   
   >   
   > "That's private," she said. All the other senshi smirked.   
      
   MARY JO: [Usagi] He sent you more pages from "Fifty Shades of Grey"   
   didn't he?   
      
   > "Well, we can't stand out here forever," Mars said. "We've got to   
   > set up a system of letting the other Senshi know when someone's   
   > been drained.   
      
   FRANK  : What about your magic communicators?   
   TRACE  : Don't forget their magic gear is suddenly not magic.   
      
   > And I think we ought to go to Professor Dumbledore with what we   
   > know.   
      
   JOSH   : And the story stubs it's toe on a great big ball of logic.   
      
   > But in the mean time, I believe that we all have classes?"   
   >   
   > Sailormoon nodded. "We've got to go to flying."   
   >   
   > Mars grinned. "I heard about the broom thing, by the way. Would you   
   > like us to place a trampoline under you?"   
   >   
   > "I can always hold out a sheet," Jupiter offered teasingly. Mercury   
   > smiled.   
      
   JOEL   : A couple of "X said to Y"'s would go a long way to making   
   this a less confusing read.   
      
   > "As long as I've got someone around me, I should be fine," she   
   > said. Sailorchibimoon smiled.   
      
   MARY JO: [Chibimoon] Why am I smiling?  Am I volunteering to be her   
   crash pad?   
      
   > "We've got a class to go to!"   
   >   
   > Sailormoon stopped by the dormitory. She had had to wait for the   
   > Fat Lady to come back from a visit. Then she fumbled for a minute   
   > for the password ("Oh! Fairybell!") before racing in to change. She   
   > was sweaty from the flying. She set her Firebolt by her bedside and
