Coming back from the gardens, Zeo stopped several times along the way to produce things from the bag for members of the group. "Have any of you seen Cole?" she asked, fingering the heavy material of the cape. " I should give this back to him."They directed her towards Hank's quarters. "Thanks."
Zeo stopped briefly, thinking she should change into her costume before too long. She ducked into an empty room, shutting the heavy door behind her. "Okay, now a costume." Another thought struck her: would she have to de-transform to change her costume? And would the fuku even come off?
"Only one way to find out," she muttered, and grasped the crystal heart brooch. Zeo gave the crystal a small tug, and it came free. Her fuku burst into a blast of silver and green ribbons, pulling back into the crystal excpet for four ribbons that twined into a chain, holding the crystal around her neck like a pendant.
Quickly, Zeo donned the costume she'd chosen. After rejecting a number of trenchcoat-based costumes, she'd decided on a long, multi-pleated, columnar dress in a silvery-grey. Matching silver heels with a multitude of straps were on her feet. She pulled her hair up into a high, loose bun so long wisps were prone to falling in an aura. A silvery, feathered mask completed the look.
"So call me Princess Pluto," she said, smiling. Zeo hooked her Backpack over one shoulder and draped Cole's cape over her arm. Leaving the room, she saw a dark-haired man dressed in all black at the end of the hall.
"Cole!" she called out, catching up her skirt so she could run. The figure didn't turn around, so she called out again. "Cole, wait! I have your cape!"
((Cole? Night Steel? Who is it that lurks at the end of the hall. Find out next time on Otak...er, Circle of Power!))
((Oh, and another note: in the Sailor Moon universe, it's assumed that transforming makes the senshi look different than in their normal forms. If anyone wants to imply that Zeo looks different untransformed, go right ahead. *g*))
