My Apartment Manager is not a Planning Thread, #14

I wasn't expecting to write that tonight, but I saw something that seemed fun.  But that brings up two things -- first, I'm still not sure when the Kaleido Stage arrives.  I discussed that on the phone call, but the only conclusion we had was: late November at the earliest.

Second, what are the civilian names for the "Asteroid Senshi"?  They kind of grew up in a really weird environment, so nothing from canon.  They're going to have to tell HAL something. I did write on the topic before:

Possibly June, Virginia, Athena, ... Miss Granger? Or something in Japanese. On pun based themes for sailors, maybe Ceres is 米野 真 (Komeno Sana "grain's truth") (pun courtesy of Osaka). Or is it crazy to give fan names to characters?

One bit of trivia: the DiC dub of Sailor Moon renamed the Ginga siblings (Ail and An) to "Granger". There are plenty of opportunities to mis-route owls from Hogwarts here.


Checking WikiMoon's entries for the Asteroid Senshi...

Aliases: Sailor Ceres (manga, musicals, Crystal)
...
English Name: Selesele (dub), CereCere (manga), Cere-Cere (Viz dub)

Aliases: Sailor Juno (manga, musicals, Crystal)
...
English Name: Junjun (dub), JunJun (manga), Jun-Jun (Viz dub)

Aliases: Sailor Pallas (manga, musicals, Crystal)
...
English Name: Parapara (dub), PallaPalla (manga), Palla-Palla (Viz dub)

Aliases: Sailor Vesta (manga, musicals, Crystal)
...
English Name: Besubesu (dub), VesVes (manga), Ves-Ves (Viz dub)

Not what I would call helpful here, except maybe calling Ves-ves "Bess". We're just going to have to make something up.

I came at again phonetically this time, and got June, Vesta, Paula, and Kari/Keri/Kerry/Karen.  In Latin, that's a hard "C" in Ceres.  Virginia is a reference to the Vestal Virgins (or didn't you know that Hestia was a virgin goddess?).

Oh, and it would be cool if their initials formed a RWBY team name. Not for any reason, just cause it would be cool.  If I called Juno "Hera" the would be Team HVAC, and there's nothing cooler than air conditioning, right?  Right, I'm done for now.

"Ginny" for Virginia/Vesta and Hera for Juno would give GHAC. Which sounds better in the original Klingon.

EDIT: If we follow the first dub and call Vesta "Bess", we could get BACH...
