Interview with an Author!
Moshi: Konnichi wa! Atashi Takanera Moshi! Today, I'm interviewing author of Project: Sailor Earth and the Utopian Chronicles, Tory Brown!
Senshi: [clapping and applauding]
Tory: Hello! It's great to be here! ^ ^;;
Moshi: Hello, Tory. I'm sure our audience is ready to listen to your answers to some burning questions!
Tory: **sweatdrop** Burning questions? This *is* just an interview? [looks at Rei]
Moshi: Sure, sure!
Rei: [super innocent expression]
Tory: Uh, okay.
Moshi: Great! Let's get started! First question, which was submitted by Tsukino Usagi.
Usagi: [jumps up] That's me, that's me!
Rei: Baka Usagi! Sit down!
Moshi: [sighs] What inspired you to write PSE and TUC?
Tory: Well, A long time ago when Sailor Moon was first introduced into the US, I thought that there simply had to be more to the story. I had even imagined Scouts--
Senshi: [groaning]
Tory: Okay, Senshi!
Senshi: [clapping]
Tory: Senshi of other planets. I must admit, they turned out a bit different than I imagined. Somehow, I envisioned Saturn throwing rings like chakrams.
Minako: Hotaru, Senshi Princess!? [starts laughing]
Tory: Anyway, I got up enough cash to purchase the fansubs of the three movies, R, S, and SS. I was completely entranced by the Japanese version that I thought hey there isn't a Sailor Earth.
Mamoru: [coughs]
Tory: Let me finish! However, I had learned later that Mamoru-sama...
Mamoru: [beams a smile at Tory]
Usagi: [sighs]
Tory: ^.^ I learned that he was the royalty of Earth. Therefore, I had to rethink my fanfiction. How could I make an Earth Senshi that wasn't a Senshi?
Moshi: How did you come to the results?
Tory: *A LOT* of research!
Ami: I'm proud!
Minako & Usagi: [groaning]
Tory: The first thing to go out the window was the wimpy Earth-like attacks. I was sick of Earth Dirt Attacks and Earth Soil Beatdown and stuff like that.
Senshi: [giggling]
Tory: I took a different stance. The Earth has life and life can be a force and energy. That's how Life Force was born. The second thing out the window was the traditional symbols. Since Moshi (you) aren't a real Senshi (by BSSM standards) you don't have to have the traditional Earth symbol!
Mamoru: Which is mine.
Makoto: Be quiet!
Tory: The infinity symbol was born from the idea that everything lives, create new life and then dies, creating a pattern: Infinity.
Senshi: Oooohhh.
Moshi: So you're saying my powers were created before me?!
Tory: Exactly!
Moshi: Kowai...
Tory: The powers went through many stages of editing. At first, you had an Electrical whip!
Senshi: o.O;;
Moshi: o.O;;
Tory: Then I had to rethink that. Too many people would take it to the hentai side.
Senshi: (*^_^*) <--blushing
Tory: I picked black hair because Mamoru has black hair. In addition, I picked purple for eyes because it's a few shades darker than blue. Notice the resemblance!
[Moshi and Mamoru look at each other]
Usagi: EEP!
Tory: I picked odangos because it would be a secret hint to her history!
Moshi: So my history was already planned out?
Tory: Okay, so I lied a bit. I made everything up as I went along.
Moshi: o.O;; How?!
Tory: I dunno!? I just did it! I wanted you to be *much* different than the rest of the Sailor Earths out there. So far, I think I'm doing a darn good job!
Moshi: Okay, second question! Tomoe Hotaru submitted this question. Why purple?
Tory: [looks at Hotaru] You would pick that question!
Hotaru: [innocent smile]
Tory: Well, in the beginning, I didn't know Outer Senshi even existed.
Outer Senshi: [gasping]
Tory: I wanted a color different from her tan fuku that would show her power up. Plus, purple and yellow is my favorite color mixture.
Moshi: So would you say that this is self-insertion?
Tory: Heck no! We're nothing alike!
Moshi: Hmm, true.
Tory: We have different signs, birthdays... heck our blood types are different! I'm O! You're A!
Ami: Hey! I'm an A
Mamoru: So am I!
Tory: Be happy it's purple/yellow. At first, it was going to be purple/green THEN purple/yellow!
Moshi: YECK! Okay, third question. Everyone asked this one!
Tory: What!? **sweatdrop**
Senshi: [innocent expressions]
Moshi: Am I really related to Erika from The Starlight Senshi.
Tory: Uh, Mo-chan?
Moshi: Hai?
Tory: You're Japanese. She's German!
Moshi: Yeah, and?
Tory: SO YOU'RE NOT RELATED! I swear, ever since I did that crossover some people are asking if you two are related. You heard it here folks, Moshi and Erika ARE NOT related!
Moshi: Here's my question. What are my plans for the future?
Tory: Oh no, you're not getting it out of me.
Senshi: Darn!
Moshi: Well, I tried!
Tory: But I will say that Chibimo (Shi) is the future Tuxedo Kamen. She has a cool yellow tuxedo. She takes after her Uncle.
Senshi: Awwww. Mamoru-oji!
Mamoru: [turns red]
Tory: Miko takes after you. She's the future Sailor Earth. Same powers, but at a higher level. And you, well... you're just the knight.
Moshi: And Hoshi?
Tory: I'm not talking, kid. Good try though.
Moshi: *BLEEP*
Mamoru: Midget...
Moshi: Whoops, it seems I've set off the censors!
Tory: When do you don't do that?
Haruka: Never!
Michiru: Haruka! Hush!
Moshi: No comments from the peanut gallery! [chucks a card at Haruka]
Tory: Any more questions?
Moshi: What's your future plans for PSE, TUC?
Tory: Well, I plan on finishing your history, revamp the PSE files, and hopefully write more of TUC!
Minako: Mo-chan! Remember the bet?
Moshi: Oh yeah!
Tory: Bet? **sweatdrops**
Moshi: Okay, Tory. Final question here. What do you think of Sailor Riven's review?
Tory: [gets big demon sized anime head] WHAT I THINK ABOUT THAT REVIEW? *BLEEP* *BLEEP* STUPID PIECE OF *BLEEP* I'VE NEVER HEARD SUCH RETARDED CRAP IN ALL MY LIFE! *BLEEP* *BLEEP* AND IF I EVEN HEAR SO MUCH AS A PEEP ABOUT THAT *BLEEP* I'LL SHOVE A LEAD PIPE UP YOUR *BLEEP*
[Tory jumps from her chair and tosses it across the stage]
Moshi: You owe me lunch, Minako-chan.
Minako: Drat!
Setsuna: What did you two bet on?
Minako: That we could make Tory fly into a rage!
Haruka: Well that certainly did the trick.
Makoto: Actually that was a bit too easy!
Rei: Oh no. Everyone look for your wands!
[Senshi start digging in pockets.]
Hotaru: Mine's gone!
Mamoru: RUN FOR IT!
Tory: SATURN CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE UP!
Usagi: EEEEP!
Sailorsaturn: DEATH...
Setsuna: NO! NOT THAT!
Sailorsaturn: RIBBON...
Rei: AHHHHH!
Sailorsaturn: REVOLUTION!
Moshi: Oh *BLEEP*
