Just my accounting of a few things that I noticed in it...
(With some comments on the previous C&C as well
But now she could recognise it, and, after recovering from the initial
five
or
so seconds of surprise, Sailor Pluto did something that would have
stunned
her fellow Senshi.
She smiled - properly.
If one knew and trusted the Princess Serenity of old (which she did), it
didn't come as a particular surprise that this particular event would
transpire, indeed given her Queen's soft heartedness in these matters it
was
almost expected - Pluto tilted her head wistfully as the flow of
associated
memories from the Millennium returned once more.
I'm not sure if you realize just what a disturbing sentence that was.
You're
implying that Pluto doesn't have full knowledge of the past. Since she
never
reincarnated, that in turn implies a certain amount of senility.
Well, I don't particularly find this disturbing. In my current story (and
so my belief) is that Sailor Pluto doesn't naturally remember everything.
Think about it. Even though the Senshi are magical superhumans, the canon
shows only one or two with really enhanced mental functions. And more than
two without.
But wait, you say, shouldn't she remember everything? Isn't that her job?
Yeah, but I liken it to a hard drive or something. She knows all pertinent
information, like anything about current threats and the senshi and all, but
she doesn't need to know by heart the name of the doctor who assisted in the
birth of John Lennon. Does she have it available? Sure. Is she senile?
No. You try keeping thousands of years in your head, and you see if you stay
sane.
