<NIT>She wasn't a full-senshi. She was a senshi-in-training. Trainees make
mistakes, and dont *anyone* try to tell me that full-senshi in this series
don't. We've seen every one of them make nothing *but* mistakes. Even speak
Treason towards the crown, when you come down to it.</NIT>
I would tend to agree with Lurker. No matter wether a "senshi-in-training",
"chibi-senshi" or other designation she still was considered a Senshi. Will
all Senshi make mistakes there is a certain standared conduct that any
senshi is required to show. The princess has a more stringent standard.
Just what *did* Sako do that was so bad? She got rid of people that were
threatening the one she's supposed to protect? What's so bad about that? I
don't get it.
She attacked three Senshi, Pluto/Neptune/Uranus with intent to cause bodily
harm. She stole a time-key, she lied to Serenity, went renagage and
threatened the stability of the Crystal Tokyo society and there by the
Royal Family by going into the past no matter what the reason was.
Usagi was trying everything she knew and could to get Sakuya out of jail,
except the one thing she knew she couldn't go - break her promise to
Sakuya. Someone send this entire cast to psychiatric care if they think
it's unexpected that a gravely upset 10-year-old is going to react that way.
You do realize that ultimately I and my co-author are responsible for these
actions and we *choose* to make them act this way? Everything could have
been so simple, I could have Usagi spill her guts and have Sakuya released;
what that have stopped all this pain? Unlikely because Sakuya would have
been upset that usagi broke her promise.
Of course, these are the same people who didn't bother to explain to Misako
(oh, how I despise that character) that Kimeko was going to be away at a
training course for a while. Instead, they seemed to think it fine to
leave the kid wandering around thinking that she was the reason Kimeko went
away. (for that matter, I can't believe that *Kimeko* didn't tell her). And
if they did tell her, then why did she spend the next year in agony
thinking she'd done something wrong to make Kimeko go away.
They did tell her *off camera*. Somethings that happen aren't put into the
fic for various reason but they do happen. She didn't believe, aminly
because she was stubborn and wanted Kimeko desperately and from Misako's
POV Kimeko was the last thing in a string of things that were "her fault".
We the omnipotent reader know these things but as I've said time and again,
people have to stop looking at it from an over all point of view and start
looking at it through the characters eyes. Another note, why do you despise
Misako?
I swear, I'm beginning to think this cast is almost as bad of a group of
head cases as the cast of Evangelion is ^_^
^_^ never seen Evangelion so I can't comment.
<wondering if the next fic is going to be titled "Tales of Younger Mars"
and star Elder Uranus>
(Howls in pain!) Warning rant ahead -
<RANT> I don't get it! Except for this little middle section that I used to
tie up some loose ends it's has been about Misako 100% of the time! She
either mentioned directly/indirectly, present or actively particpating in
the scene itself. The next fic is Younger Mars, then it *will have Younger
Mars* in it and be to the level that *we* the authors deem fit.</RANT>
