That Sailor Mercury hadn't heard from Ryo Urawa in quite a long time and didn't know Mercurious was beside the point. That she would blush, shrink in on herself and begin stammering when considering the possibility of getting a hunky martial artist lover to make wild passionate sex with not unattractive boyfriend who would show up more often than once every two years was just one of those things. Really.
As for Sailor Mars and her on-again/off-again relationship with Yuuichiro, well, it was currently off-again and if she were to accidently get a true love - then it would be an accident. Really.
Sailor Jupiter had taken one look at the photo, mumbled something about her sempai, and was ready to grab this hunk for herself lay down some fire support for her friend Venus. Really. Cross her heart.
As for Sailor Moon, she had no interest in hot and hunky guys when she had her Mamo-chan. Past examples when she'd chased after other guys to the contrary. She was just worried about Minako-chan.
Tuxedo Mask trusted Sailor Moon. He was there just in case.
They had just gotten into the castle when Sailor Moon...
"EEEEEK!"
found a section of floor that dropped open beneath her, sending her into a shaft before closing and locking in place.
While using her Mercury computer to scan the trap, Sailor Mercury...
"AAAAAA!"
found a teleport square on the floor that flared to life and sent her elsewhere.
Jupiter, Mars, and Tuxedo Mask (or Tuxedo Kamen if you prefer) were quite nervous about this - one minute into the castle and two of their number gone, but quickly decided that they'd have to go further in order to recover their friends.
Mars intuition failed her...
"HEY!"
when a section of wall she leaned against pivoted and sent her into a secret passageway.
Tuxedo Kamen managed to pry the doorway open with his cane. At which point Bishamon Kuno attacked.
Meanwhile, Pluto and Uranus and Neptune and Saturn had all arrived and knew better than to go through the front door. Where would the Prince be? Uranus was betting the dungeon - lowest point and most heavily fortified. Neptune had declared that central tower off the main castle - it was the most artistic choice and it was quite the faerie tale castle.
"Where's Saturn?" Uranus asked casually after they'd started discussing routes and battleplans.
Neptune looked around. "Hotaru?"
Pluto unscrewed a section of her Time Key Staff, took out the little roll of Tums™ she kept in there and ate three of the stomach pills. "Well at least..."
"Puuu!"
Pluto took a fourth Tums&trade and managed a smile even while her forehead was beginning to throb and she was reaching for an Excedrin™ "Small Lady? What are you doing here?"
"Something funny was happening in the future," said Chibi-usa. "I was playing near the Gate and when I got back Aunt Ami was married! So I went to the Gate and came back again and Ami-san wasn't married, but Hotaru-chan was! And then..."
Various Senshi twitched as names came up. When Michiru Kaioh heard her own name mentioned she would have fallen over but that wouldn't have been elegant.
"We have to make sure a non-Senshi awakens the prince," declared Setsuna, twitching herself when she'd heard "...and then you were married to him, Puu!"
"Right!" Uranus declared. No way was she going to face a future where Michiru was married to some guy!
Meanwhile, while it hadn't immediately been apparent, Mihoshi had screwed up part of the spells used to setup the castle/scenario.
