---

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
After a visit from Yuko, and resulting nap, Hannah is once again awake. The tv's on as she listens to about the only thing on: news of the destruction wrought by the 'storm'. The magical girl is definitely in a bad way: bandaged up across her chest and over her left eye, and of course her left arm is gone. Propped up by pillows, the EKG beeps away as Hannah sips on some coffee, with nothing to do but recover and wait.

In a word, she's dreadfully bored.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Miss White doesn't know Usagi, so instead she's getting a visit from Sailor Moon.

She's paused just outside the hospital door, speaking in hushed tones.

"I know, Papa, I'm sorry. We ended up at another point. I tried to call, but there was no service." She listens for a moment. "Yes, Papa, I promise. I'm okay. How's Mama and Shingo?" Her eyebrows raise. "Yes, I can see why Luna scratched him up good. Um, hey, I got to go. I'll call you guys later, okay? Love you all! Miss you!"

Okay. She's been procrastinating long enough.

Though they seem to be getting along better, Sailor Moon is somewhat still...unsure of Miss White. Not in the girl's abilities or anything. It's just, she's not exactly used to being blatantly disliked.

Okay. Okay. Here goes.

Ug, she really should not have gotten this cute bunny for White. She's gonna hate it!

But no! Shoulders back! Determined face on! Step in through the hospital door!

"Hello, White-san, I heard they brought you here and just wanted to make sure you're o--"

She stops and just blinks at the girl for a moment.

"Hannah-chan?"

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
There's hushed tones, and it's more than enough to distract Hannah. She vaguely eavesdrops from her bed, go blind girl hearing, and tries to place the voice. When the woman comes in? It finally hits her.

"...Sailor Moon?" Her voice is very groggy, given how many painkillers she's on right now. She blinks, and then /peers/.

"Wait a sec...how do you know me, Sailor Moon?" No, the CEO isn't quite sure how that got out! Then it hits her. Missing arm. News. Others bringing her to the hospital.

Facepalm. "Damnit. Cat's out of the bag. Wait, no, my question stands. How do you know /me/?" Groan, she sits up. Then, her face softens.

"But I'm being a bit of a jerk, aren't I? Ok, let's start over. Hi Sailor Moon. Yeah, you're right. I'm Miss White, jerkbag CEO. I didn't exactly expect to see you here." At least she's not outright hostile, but Hannah looks very wary right now. Moon's fighting last night /did/ leave an impression.

"Hey, uh, I realize I've said some mean things. But you did good last night. Damn good."

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Sailor Moon's mouth opens and closes a few times, still blinking, still trying to make sense of things. "Um... This is...kind of awkward."

Oh, right! Stuffed bunny!

She walks forward and hands it to Miss Hannah White Sharpe. "Here! I got this for you to cuddle. I chose the white one over the pink one, because it fits your name! It's a stuffed bunny."

She nods, still trying to figure things out.

And then, she starts giggling. "Oh my goodness."

Giggle giggle giggle!

"Hannah-chan, is it ironic that after you called me weak and stuff, I went to you for kick boxing lessons? I want to say it is, but I don't know!"

Then she's waving her hands! "And I really don't mind waiting until you get better! If you still wanna help! It's okay if you don't!"

And then her cheeks grow pink, and she shrugs and picks at the covers. "That? I had a lot of help. I couldn't have done it otherwise."

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Suddenly, a fluffy bunny! Hannah isn't too proud to not snuggle a bunny right now. It goes right against her chest, getting hugged tight!

"Th...thanks Moon." Very awkward. "It's cute! And soft..." Snuggle snuggle. She slowly smiles again. By god if she doesn't look touched!

Then, she goes still. Her jaw falls open. Realization dawns, and then she flops back into the bed.

"I am a complete /idiot/. Sailor Moon is Usagi Tsukino. Oh wow. Wooooow. So that's why you wanted..." She goes silent, trying to parse all of this before she realizes moon is still talking!

"Hey, sit down. You got pretty banged up too, right? And of course you're coming to your lessons! I know where you live. I'll have Boris hunt you down if you don't show up!"

With a little groan, she gets up again. "Did that one Dark Kingdom guy get out alive? I think I saw someone getting stab by their allies. Preeeeetty cheap. Knew we shouldn't have trusted them. Still. Mamoru was /amazing/ out there! I can't wait to fight him! This hospital's boring." Frown!

"Heh. Feels good to be alive after all of that, huh?"

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Sailor Moon grins brightly at her bunny being appreciated and hugged and loved on! "You're welcome! I'm glad you like it! He seems like a Mister Fuzzlebutt to me, but you can name him whatever you want!"

She has dozens of stuffed bunnies at home, and yes, each of them has a name.

Then she preens a bit. "Yep! Best of it, Mamo-chan isn't a two-timer, after all." Side eyes and eyeballing!

Her plop onto the mattress beside Hannah is not delicate, gentle, or full of grace. "Somehow threatening me with a giant cuddley puppy who likes snuggles isn't...as effective as you'd think. We'd just nap together. The only one put out by that may be Luna." She sighs. "I'm fine. A few scrapes, maybe some bruises. And tired. But other than that." Her eyes water, because she got out of it better than a lot of people had.

She wipes at her eyes and nose, and doesn't give a little sniffle! "Jadeite's fine, don't worry. H-He's still gonna be able to watch sappy movies with me." Then she's grinning, almost able to snort the rest of her tears back down to her toes. "He was! And Hannah-chan, his eyes were blue and I could feel him and he wasn't Mamo-chan exactly but he still knew me." Her smile falters a little. "He told me to protect his planet from him."

And then, she's outright crying and curled against Hannah's good shoulder. "I saw it out of the corner of my eye and I hoped I'd just been seeing things and I was just so worried about you!"

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
"Mister Fuz...I don't think so." She /squints/ at silly Moon! Hannah has american pride, darnit!

"I will call him Scruffy." Sagenod. Then she sticks her tongue out at Moon! A quick laugh. "Great! Otherwise, I'd have to slap the evil out of him twice! We need to work on that, by the way. I mean, don't get me wrong. I /like/ his attitude right now. But as has been shown, they're prone to stabbing their allies in the back. And I just can't abide by that sort of thing. If you have a problem with someone, tell them and stab them in the /front/."

Oh god, watery eyes. She rubs her own head. "Huh. Well, that's good. He probably knows a lot. Is he on your side now? What's the plan?"

And then she's right in her arm, and Hannah just sighs. Squeeeze. There's a headpat for the poor crying girl. This time? She's earned it.

"Hey. I did it so I could save someone I love. Worth it. No regrets here! So don't go wasting tears on me, okay? You need to save them up for when we get Mamoru back. Then you can cry into his chest and beat on him for being a jerk!" She smiles warmly, and stays with Moon until the tears pass, rocking her gently.

"We defeated a city-devouring monster. If we can do that, we can do anything, right?"

Then she sighs. "Hope my 'friends' figure something out though. No idea what I'm going to tell the rest of the kickboxing club." A little worry slips into her tone. What if they /can't/ do anything for her. Hannah has dreams outside of deific aspirations.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
"Scruffy's a good name." Her own tongue comes out! Bleeeee! Then she shifts again. "I don't know if...things are going to go well for him now. She may have seen us kissing. She's very jealous." If her hand tightens hard on Hannah's arm for a moment, she doesn't notice. "And it was just Zoicite! The others did a very good job. Nephrite and Jupiter teamed up really nice!" No, Moon, now is not the time for hue hue hues. Maybe later.

"And yeah, he's with us. But...don't... I want to keep him safe from there. He's too sweet. And I haven't pressed him too much on things, because his last...means of employement was...not the greatest. I'll find out what he knows, when I can, but I also want him to get used to the idea that it's okay for him to eat ice cream and watch movies and make clay things that he wants to make."

After she's done crying, well, mostly, she rubs tears and such away with her glove, and even sneaks a face wiping against one of the pillows. She likes the rocking. Miss White is nicer than she thought. (Well, of course, she's also Hannah-chan!) "I have enough tears for everybody. It's okay." A sniffle snort, another wipe at her face. "I won't beat on him. But I am gonna cuddle him for at least a weak. I'd like to see someone try and stop me."

She pulls back a little and watches Hannah's face. She chews her lip for a moment before responding. "Well, then you'd need to learn how to dodge better. You helped defeat a city-devouring monster, Hannah-chan. There's no way you won't be an amazing kick boxer still."

She grins a bit, and its sly. "I can teach you my 'shriek-and-duck' maneuver. Though I warn you, it's a bit difficult."

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
"Wait. Hold up. 'She'? Is this whole Dark Kingdom thing just some inter-planetary jealousy taken way too far?" /Now/ Hannah is confused. And a little scared she might know the answer to her own question.

"Huh. You think they're...no. No, bad Hannah. No digging."

Hannah finally just laughs. "I get it. He needs time to adjust to having a life. See, this is why people should join me. You get vacations and I don't try to stab you." Sagenod.

Finally, she smiles, arm around Moon's shoulder.

"Even I'm not crazy enough to get between you two. I'd be squished by the pure amount of cuddle energy you two would produce!" Chuckles the woman. "Yeah, I need to work on that anyway. Still. If I can get something like a robot arm..." Cue a mini evil-villain laugh. She might be hamming it up a bit for Moon's sake.

And then a poke to her nose.

"I have dignity, thanks."

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Sailor Moon gives a half hearted shrug, not quite answering. But she does say something. "I never hated anyone until her. I don't like the feeling. It makes me weak."

She bites back a grin. "I don't know, really. I hope when I get them all back I get the chance to find out. And maybe help. Mweeheehee."

She gives a humorless snort. "I also don't see you as the type to brainwash your employees when they don't do exactly what you want." She hums in thought. "I don't know that I'd recommend you to them as employment, though. That could get awkward if our agendas clash."

Then she's giggling! "And you also have pretty teeth. I'd hate to see them get cavities" And then she's gasping! "A robot arm! Then you can open up all the pickle jars in the world! And you can have attacgments! You'd be... A Swiss Arm, eee!" Giggle giggle! She's so funny!

Her face scrunches at the poke. Another bout of tongue sticking out and another bleeee. "I have dignity! I just have a survival instinct that over rides it!

Sailor Moon's eyes light up. "Hey! Now I can give this to you without trying to figure a way to make up some reason for randomly having it!"

She reaches behind her and wiggles her hand in a very crowded subspace pocket. "Papa often goes on the US Base, right? Because he's a journalist. And sometimes he brings us home dinner. I really like these, and I know you're from America, so--AH HAH!" She pulls out a still warm wrapped burger. "It's still good, I promise! I found a bottle of milk I put in there three months ago and it was still cold and fresh! But do you like Whoppers? I saved one for you, just in case! I think I also have some fries left in there."

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
"It shouldn't. Doesn't suit someone like you, Moon. You're too /nice/. Too loving. I think that's why you have so many good friends."

Hannah tch's. "Please. Why brainwash someone? You do that, you'll never get their all. You need people to want to work with you. It's called basic leadership. This girl must be preeeetty ugly and annoying to have to resort to stuff like that."

Facepalm. She's grinning. She /hates/ it. Cue a tickle under the chin!

"You are the /worst/ Usagi!" It quickly devolves into a hug and noogie!

Suddenly, food! Her eyes light up. And Hannah takes it, unwraps it, and half the burger is devoured in about five seconds. "I /LOVE/ Burger King! Oh my god Moon, you are a twintailed miracle worker! Thanks!" Nom nom nom!

"I'll treat you to lunch as soon as I get out of here!"

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
"I like having friends. Even if I do cry at times." A few (gentle she's in the hospital!) pokes to the ribs.

Usagi lets out a long, slow sigh. "She's not ugly on the outside. She's very beautiful. But her insides ruin that." However, a tiny smirk! "But she is annoying."

Then she's giggling under the hug and noogie! "Sorry, sorry! I didn't mean to al-arm you with my pun!"

Sailor Moon squeals! "Good, I'm glad you like it! If I get a chance, I'll sneak you some more!"

And then her eyes widen! "Ohhhh, lunch! I love lunch. It's my favorite subject at school, you know."

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
"One day you'll become less of a crybaby. Hopefully." Nope, not happening. She wiggles a bit at the pokes!

A shrug. "Well, if you need help punching her, let me know! I don't like her buddies, or her." Huff. She tries to crack her knuckles, then frowns. Dangit!

At the pun? She's giggling, and yanking on twintails at once! Bad usa! "Pffft. That sounds exactly like you, Usa. Next time bring Jupiter over. Did you see how she made all of our magic better and took control of that storm? I don't think I could do that!" Grin!

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Sailor Moon waves her hand. "I spent most of the past two months not crying a lot. It didn't work out that well."

She helps Hannah crack her knuckles! "Well, when they're not being brainwashed buttmunches, I like them! Or did! Though Kunzite is always a bit scary, just in a different way!"

She giggles at the tugs. "Well, it's also the time I get to sneak in naps! Which is another thing I haven't been doing. But now I can feel a glow, so I'm actually able to sleep again!" Happy thought!

And then her eyes sparkle and glitter and fill up with incredible pride. "Isn't Jupiter amazing? She is so strong and pretty! And did you see Venus? Wow! And Mars kept the back lines safe for straggling civilians and Mercury has so much data now! My girls are all just so incredible!"

Yes, Sailor Moon will never not gush about the strengths of her girls! When she thinks of them, and how they were yesterday, she bursts with pride even more than the proudest of Mamas!

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
"Really? Hard to imagine, but...I guess Mamoru seems like a jerk right now too. Ugh. All of them must be brainwashed too? Yeesh. You guys have a lot on your plate."

Hannah smiles though. "Good. You being mopey and sad is just pathetic. I mean more pathetic than usual. You should be happy, Moon. It makes you glow. I've already got one light dimming, don't need /two/." Peeer! "So no getting brainwashed."

There's a thumbs up, and a smirk. "They did perfectly. So many magical girls working together. It was great. Almost a shame we get to go back to bickering and fighting. ...Though peace does get boring." Shrug.

Then, a nurse calls out. "Well, time for my checkup. Wish me luck, huh, Moon? Going to have to host a Walnuts-chan Funeral and Party soon!" Griiiin. Oh yes, she has /plans/.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
A wave of her hand! "Mamo-chan's a jerk when he's not brainwashed, but not in a way that he can be now! And besides, he's my jerk, so I want that jerk back!" A decisive nod! "And Jadeite's much different, too. He's very cuddly!"

Sailor Moon gives Hanna a wry grin. "Well, yeah. Sometimes literally!"

She giggles. "I hope they stop a little, at least! It's very confusing having friends who don't like other friends!"

Moon jumps up off the bed, clapping! "Ohhhhh! I hope I can go! And wear a pretty dress! That will be so much fun!"

A quick hug for Hannah! "Get better soon! Robot arm or no, if you lump around too long, even I will be able to kick your butt soon!"

A happy wave and she's skipping out!
