I've been thinking. I've been thinking for a long time now.

They -- the enemy, that is. They treat us all as something inhuman, even the ones whose bodies haven't changed. We were all born human... animal company excluded, of course. But what are we now? Some of us are turning into monsters. Even those of us who look human are... something that aren't.

...I mean, look at me. I'm a soulless husk when you get down to it.

I asked you all something when I first arrived here. It feels like a long time ago now, but tell me. What do you think you can do?

How can you protect anyone?

From what I've learned, I'm supposed to be like Winter or Annie, but... nothing's come there yet. So I'm still just as helpless as I was to start with, but I guess I know a little bit more.

But, we have not yet. I'm Lily Tsukuyomi.

[lackinginfaith]

A Precure, you mean.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Ah, yes. Apparently.

[lackinginfaith]

I'm something similar, but not quite. I suppose the super strength helps you girls.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Really? Do you know anything about it? Or would that be prying too much...?

But, it would help. Supposing that's what I'm getting, I guess.

[lackinginfaith]

About me, or about you?

[alilyinthemoonslight]

You, unless you know anything about the Precure besides what Annie or Winter have told me.

But again, sorry if that's prying too far.

[lackinginfaith]

All I know about me is patently ridiculous. I transform to fight by singing, I was hunted down for over a year, I was some kind of princess in an underwater castle, and I've seen people walking around like normal underwater next to mermaids. And underwater working fountains. I can't figure that one out for the life of me.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Well, I can't argue with you there.

That does sound pretty ridiculous.

But can you do that already? Transform, I mean.

[lackinginfaith]

Yes, I can. I've done it a few times now. I'm purple, if you're wondering.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

And it's preformed by... singing. Huh.

I seriously hope that's not a requirement over here. It sounds a bit embarrassing to be honest.

...but what do you mean by "purple?"

[lackinginfaith]

Colour-coded outfits. Annie's orange, Winter's blue. It's like something a few designers I know would cook up.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Oh. Right.

...God. That's still kind of ridiculous to think about. And that it's supposed to be me.

[lackinginfaith]

I've worn worse.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

...should I ask?

[lackinginfaith]

The Sequin Incident of '08 is something I may never live down. But we've all had our ideas that seemed good at the time.

*She's included a link to an article showing the pageant she wore said dress in. It is indeed pretty ugly. She's even got sequins sewn into her hair.*

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Oh.

Oh my goodness.

[Lily is perhaps not the most fashion conscious teenager around, but that..]

I'm so sorry.

[lackinginfaith]

Everyone makes bad decisions in high school. I just happen to be a pageant girl, so when mine are bad, everyone knows it.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Well yes, I can't argue with that.

[Ask Lily about her dating attempts sometime, she knows all about bad decisions. Actually - don't.]

I guess if I have to get some sort of frilly outfit, I may as well hope for something decent.

[lackinginfaith]

And something you can fight in. I doubt you stand and sing like I do.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Again - let's hope not.

[lackinginfaith]

Oh, I'm fine with it.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

You may be.

I don't think I could do that.

[lackinginfaith]

It only hurts your dignity if you believe it does.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

I freeze up on stage trying to give a speech. I've successfully humiliated myself on every date I've been on in my life.

Talking to people normally? No issues.

Anything outside of that? We've got a problem.

So singing? Not happening.
