Story: Real World Sailor Moon

Fatesplit

1. It's a doll of Sailor Venus herself!
2. It's an electronic toy way too advanced for the time period.
3. It's a toy of a character from another series
4. Something else

Option 3

This may be hard to believe, but Sailor Moon was set in the early 90s. The manga began its run in 1991 and ended in 1997, meaning that it ended two decades ago as of the time of this very text you are reading being written. Two decades is a pretty long time in terms of technological advancement. Back when Sailor Moon started mobile phones did exist - but were big, clunky, cumbersome and what the hell was a touch screen anyway?

Think about it. Really think about it for a moment. The modern technology available to us today would look utterly futuristic even ten years back. The advancement is astonishing and yet people barely seem to notice it. So ask yourself this simple question: What happens if you take something developed in the modern era and show it to the world of the early 90s?

"Wooooaaaaaah!" Minako yelled at the top of her voice, falling through a portal between dimensions for the second time on the same day. She landed squarely on her butt right where she'd left off, and shortly thereafter had a cat land in her lap and then a cellphone land on top of her head. Then a bag right after that. The pretty and experienced warrior of love and justice toppled over onto her back with spirals in her eyes.

"Hey look at her!" a little kid laughed, beckoning his friends over. "She looks so silly! I'ma take a picture!"

At which point he pulled out a device that looked suspiciously like a modern era cellphone and did exactly that. Minako, for her part, remained totally oblivious to this until the flash hit her eyes prompting her to sit up and the would be tiny tormentors to flee in terror.

"Gyaaaa! What the hell?!" Minako yelled. "Was that some kind of youma attack?!" She hopped back onto her feet and looked around. "Everything looks normal again! None of those weird colours, none of those freaky little dirty details... the shading is all normal! Thank goodness!"

But this did leave her feeling, to say the least, quite troubled and confused about what the hell that even was?! She grabbed the dropped items but kept her guard up. Was it a youma? No. That didn't quite feel right. There hadn't been any of the usual perverted antics they were associated with, and so far as she could tell everything was back to normal. To his credit, though Artemis was as confused as she was he was keeping his mouth shut until he had a decent idea of what to say.

This lasted right around about until she and Artemis turned a corner.

"What in the world...?" Artemis gasped. "Mina, I think it is safe to say that we're still under enemy attack!"

No kidding! Minako looked around herself in total and complete shock. Were those flying cars?! Were those buildings being held up by giant spinning helicopter blades?! Stumbling forward, Minako was shocked when a woman suddenly appeared out of nowhere to offer fishsticks! This nearly made her jump out of her skin!

"Guh! You'd think she'd never seen a hoload before," a passerby tutted. "And that dress sense... What, does she think it's the 1990s or something?"

Ah, narrative convenience. You giveth just as you taketh away. Of course if Minako had the faintest idea of where to look she might have taken a bit of a better look at the phone she was carrying, or perhaps the electronic toy in her bag. Both of which had the year 2012 engraved upon them. Without meaning to she had completely transformed her setting into the ideal of what a person in the early 90s might imagine the year 2012 to look like.

But wait! There was more. You see, inside of the bag that had fallen into the portal alongside Minako was a trio of dolls. These dolls were based on characters from a certain popular anime series that came out around the same kind of time Sailor Moon was popular. I'm sure you've heard of it? Neon Genesis Evangelion. Now, the interesting thing here is that the three dolls she had unknowingly brought into this universe were the three pilots from that series. Shinji, Rei and Asuka. All wearing their plugsuits.

What does that mean? Well... The fashion was now also quite futuristic, with skintight full body plugsuits of every colour under the sun seeming to be quite normal and accepted. Minako didn't know where to look.

"Ah! Now I get it!" Minako seethed. "This is how the Dark Kingdom is trying to steal energy this time! They're tricking the people in this freaky future to dress up like this so they can drain perverted energies from them!"

"I don't think it's quite that straightforward - " Artemis began to protest, but soon found himself eating Minako's dust as she ran off, desperately seeking the youma responsible. It was her sacred duty to reverse this, come what may!

<hr>
The change caused by Minako's journey to the real world was felt pretty much immediately this time around. Due to the prior journeys to the real world and the resultant alterations to their narrative reality the process was now much smoother, much quicker and to anyone aware of such things quite possibly more alarming. I mean, can there really be more concerning news than "the laws and nature of reality are altering in ways we cannot predict"? You would be hard pressed to find something.

Regardless: Back in the Mizuno apartment Ami was considering contacting the others when the change hit. Therefore instead of using the house phone's landline, she instead reached for her personal mobile phone. Also, her clothes changed into a light blue jumpsuit that clung to her body like a second skin, but let's not focus on that.

...

Oh, alright. Let's focus on that for a little bit. The fabric was rather a futuristic sort that emphasised comfort and temperature regulation while also allowing the skin to breathe. Therefore it was safe to wear in all situations and all weather, since it would automatically adjust to the environmental requirements. In this new altered reality it had taken a fair while to cajole Ami into wearing something like this as she was still quite the shy girl, but Usagi had managed to convince her by saying she'd look 'cute' in it. Bear in mind that this version of Ami would jump off a cliff if Usagi had said it would make her look cute.

As per the colour coding conventions adopted by superheroes in media vis a vis their civilian identity Ami had adopted a favoured colour scheme similar to her Sailor Mercury uniform. From about the navel downwards it adopted a light blue pattern, while her upper half was primarily white with streaks of blue that went up under her arms.

Throw on some glasses and you've got yourself a rather splendid example of a big breasted geek chick clad in a tight fitting plugsuit. Her aesthetic was cute, while her body language seemed subconsciously aware of how hot she was. Her hands and arms automatically tended to move in a way that slightly covered her most sensitive spots. It wasn't impossible to cover them all fully due to how curvaceous she was, but this defenseless behaviour added quite a lot to her appeal.

Now, onto the mobile phone. The first thing Ami did was make a phone call to Usagi...

<I>"Hi Ami! You won't believe what I just did!"</i>

Even the sound of her voice made the genius girl smile vacantly. She shook it off. Showing that kind of vulnerability around Kotori right now was a really bad idea.

"You'll have to tell me another time. We have a problem -"

<i>"Uwah! Is that the time?! Oh no, my mom is going to kill me! We'll have to talk later Ami, I've got to run home!"</i>

She... Wasn't home? At this time? Ami began to pace around the room in concern: What could Usagi have been up to that she wasn't even at home? Her imagination filled in a few answers, and dismissed them immediately. No, no. Usagi wasn't that kind of girl! Not at all, not at all!

Although after a moment there was something else bothering Ami. Usagi's phone had been on, right? So why hadn't her parents called her before now? Ami looked over towards Kotori, bound and gagged on her couch and felt her face draw pale as her brilliant mind began to put the pieces together. This situation might be even worse than she was expecting!

1. Ami calls Rei and Makoto for support.
2. Ami sets about interrogating Kotori for more information.
3. Meanwhile, Usagi arrives home and discovers a youma waiting for her.
4. Minako runs into one of the Generals, who sets about employing hentai tropes to seduce her.
5. Something else
