Quote:Yeah, that occurred to me this morning after I posted it. It's not very much the "forgive'em until there's no other choice" Usagi from canon. But then, Doug's presence significantly alters events -- and people -- in this Step. It's possible. But like I said, it's just a little something that I thought of, without a proper anchor in the story yet.
I'm sort of ambivalent about it. On the one hand, Usagi -does- sometimes get that serious. On the other, 'prepare to die' just doesn't seem like her.
Quote:Mmm. That's an interesting idea. In canon, the Senshi managed to get to the ruins of the Moon Kingdom relatively early on; if they found a book of law or some other source of this information... Hm. Yes, nice idea...
So Usagi, in taking her down, would be exercising the Royal Perrogative of High Justice, or something like that - acting in a specific, prescribed manner, which in turn would include a series of semi-ritualized statements (reading somebody his rights would be similar).
Oh, and Beryl is so definitely guilty of something. I have no doubt that the Silver M had laws about trafficking with demonic entities and trading for power with them...
