I wasn't expecting to come to this place, but it is a nice area. [Though it is centered around the wrong time frame, let alone the wrong world.]

A wonderful reminder of days long past, but its simply that. A reminder. The future's waiting and I must return to it. Before Pluto and the rest of my Senshi begin to worry.

Any information about this place, how it came to be, or a way home, would be most appreciated.

Thank you so much.

I think I will, see you soon, Sir.

[A very polite fellow, though from his voice he does sound young. Perhaps in his teens, but there is an air of sophistication about him. If time lines and other worlds are coming together at this single point it'll be fun to learn about him and his world.

Serenity will wait patiently in the courtyard on a bench. Prim, and proper but there is a warmth about her that doesn't make her seem unapproachable. She seems to be taking the flowers and trees in.]

[Marius comes striding up to Serenity only about five minutes later. He's wearing the very clothes he went home in that night before coming to New Moore - a brown jacket with a plaid waistcoat under it, a tie, and simple trousers. Even though his outfit is plain, it's clear that it's from the past, and of a bit higher quality than most.

He approaches Serenity, bowing his head to her. As per customs, he won't sit down next to her unless offered. Even though he was studying to be a lawyer, he knew quite a bit about diplomacy and customs.]

It's an honor to meet you, Votre Majesté.

[Look at him. He can hear Enjolras shouting at him in the back of his mind, already. But he is nothing if not a gentleman, awkward as he may be sometimes.]

[Serenity spotted him coming up. When he's closer she's able to get a better look at his clothes and the quality of them. Simple, but fine and a mark of the time he's from. Her gown must look a bit odd to him, with white and gold threads and trimming around the bust. Plus the sheer bow that mimics wings on her back.]

It's honor to meet you too, Sir. A pleasure to meet with you in person. My name is Serenity, Queen of Neo-Tokyo. Please sit, it's been some time since I've meet someone new.

[And to have a conversation that wasn't about business.

She takes note of his accent and choice of words. He's from France, quite interesting.]

[Her garments are ornate, and quite indicative of her status as queen. He's never seen anything like this sort of dress, but he believes her immediately.

As soon as she says so, he takes a seat next to her. It's quite nice to get some fresh air, especially since he's still a bit woozy from these new revelations.]

My name is Marius Pontmercy. I currently live in Paris...though I suppose you say that I did live in Paris, before all of this played out.

[The revelations are troublesome, but it's not the first time she's been told something ridiculous. No, everything she's gone through from her past life until now has been real.

She scoots a little to allow him to sit down next to her. There's a fond smile on her face.]

Paris? A beautiful city especially at night.

[ooc: /headdesk. She's from Crystal Tokyo, FORGIVE ME!]

It is, it absolutely is. I've spent many a night looking out onto the river Seine...the way the stars sparkle against it is breathtaking.

[Admittedly, in the shabby apartment he currently kept with Courfeyrac, it was impossible to see the Seine, but he had seen it every night as a child.]

It's a bit of a romantic notion, though, especially for people not native to the city. There are many places where it's dangerous to walk alone at night. One could be robbed and beaten within an inch of his life.

[The Rue Plumet where Cosette lived, for example.]

Seeing the view from a rooftop is truly amazing. Reminds me a little of home. [Seeing the stars at night is always a favorite past time of hers, even at this age.]

A romantic notion and more, something I'm sure people have done before, but haven't been hurt. [Hopefully.]

Has that ever happen to you, Marius?

When I return, I shall have to do just that, if I'm permitted to go atop my building.

[He chuckles a little, then sighs, looking down at his hands.]

Almost. Before I came here, I was walking on the Rue Plumet after visiting my beloved. On the way home, there were whispers that there was very nearly a serious robbery there.

[Serenity listens, paying attention to his body language and the mention of a beloved her eyes start to sparkle a little. To be in love at such a young age....it's precious.]

I hope you weren't hurt. Perhaps, when you're able to return home you and your beloved can watch the stars on the roof. In a safe, fashion, of course.

It sounds quite lovely...something I'm sure Cosette would adore.

[If he was ever able to get her out of her father's house for more than just stealing moments.

He notices the sparkling in her eyes, giving her a fond smile.]

You sound like you may be speaking from experience, madame.

Cosette? A very lovely name. [Also familiar, but she can't remember where. Or maybe she's reading too much into things.

Serenity chuckles softly, looking down at her folded hands on her lap for a briefly moment.]

I am. I met my husband when I was young, perhaps around your age. Any time we could spent together was cherished. Stolen moments that lead up to a lifetime together.

Edited 2013-07-15 02:00 (UTC)

I'm told it's only a nickname, but whatever it stands for, it must be as lovely as she.

[His eyes light up again, and he smiles at her, the apples of his cheeks turning red.]

Yes, that's just like Cosette and I. Her father is very protective of her, so we may only see eachother for short moments each day...

I can understand the reasons why her father would want to protect her. I feel the same of wanting to protect my daughter.

I...[She lets out another soft chuckle, this one a touch more sad as she remembers something.] now know how my mother felt when I first met with my husband. How worried and protective, but she and I have learned to let go and let destiny run its course.

[Aww, he's blushing. How sweet.]

I'm sure your time with Cosette will come, you only need to be patient.

You've...a daughter?

[As taboo as it seems, this woman is royal, wise beyond her years...but she is an ethereal beauty, full of youth.]

Pardon me, madame, it's just...you seem so young, almost matching me in age.

[A small nod of her head. There is no hesitation on her part and she seems proud of it.] Yes, my Small Lady. Her name though is Usagi.

[Another chuckle, briefly debating if she should tell him her real age. No, best not to give him a headache.]

After I ascended to the throne I ceased to age. It's a power I hold and one I share with my people.

That's a remarkable power. Peter has explained that science has advanced as the years have passed, but...it's something I could never even dream of.

Usagi...what sort of name is that? Is she a good daughter?

In my time science and magic are combined to provide the best quality of life for my people.

Usagi, it's Japanese. We both come from Japan, an oriental country far from Paris.

{nods.] She's a sweet young woman. Growing up each day and I miss terribly. But I know she's doing well.

Magic...so science has really come so far that they have discovered myths to really exist. Could that be how these work?

[He holds up the phone he's been using to communicate with the rest of New Moore with.]

I hope you're able to see your dear Usagi soon, Queen Serenity.

[Looks over the phone and briefly shakes her head.]

Science is something that man kind has had and discovered. Magic is of the divine, when the two are combined together they can create wondrous things. The device, or phone, is man made. It's a piece of the future. An testament to what man kind has achieved.

[Really, this young man is too sweet for words. His lovely young lady will be lucky to have him.]

I hope so too, but I won't dwell on it too much. I know she's being taken cared for and happy with the rest of our family.

It's certainly a marvel! I only wish we had such things in my time. A...phone, yes, this would make coordinating meetings much simpler for Enjolras and Combeferre, I believe.

[He chuckles a little, though, imagining his friends with these sort of devices. Jean Prouvaire would be the sort to ask all who had them philosophical questions over the shared space, and Grantaire would spend entire meetings in the Musain making snide commentary on his phone about whatever Enjolras was giving a rousing speech about.]

Your husband...is he good to you as well?

[God above, he can only hope Cosette is as happy and lovely as Serenity is when they are wed.]

They make things simple, but at the same time can make things more complicated than need be.

[Yes, phones were wonderful, but at the same time...it was hard to maintain a conversation with someone while texting someone else. But the devices do come in handy.

Another nod as a fondness appears in her eyes.]

Yes, he's the only man I've ever wanted to be with. He's a kind, strong and supportive man.

Really? I don't see how they could create complications...

[Oh, he understands everything her husband sees in her. The queen is youthful and radiant, and he's quite lucky to have her.]

I wish you many happy days, madame.

When you rely on technology too much, for some it can become a crutch.

[She can see why Cosette would be in love with Marius. He is, in some ways, like her husband. Kind with a strong and good heart.]

I wish you many happy days too, Marius. If you wouldn't mind, please, tell me more about you or your lovely Cosette.
