Script: Turning the Tables - Minako (Patreon)

Two weeks from now, I'll post the chapter for Mariko's New Team, Cologne. The poll is for what I post two weeks from then. Hope you enjoy, and please share your thoughts!

Artemis: Are you sure about this? It seems a bit risky.

Minako: Oh, why not? The others have had to have their fun.

Artemis: But 'Takeover Live'? It's such an obvious trap.

Minako: That's what makes it fun!

Minako: I'll have glamorous aliens acting as my backup! One glimpse at me, and they'll be completely under my spell!

Artemis: Urgh, when you get like this there's no talking with you...

Minako skips inside a building while Artemis waits outside.

Artemis: If you're not out in ten minutes I'm getting the others.

Minako: You have fun, too!

Artemis: Not even listening to me...

Inside the building, Minako is greeted by an obviously alien receptionist, wearing a flimsy human disguise (eyes seem off, there are obvious seams at the neck and wrist)

Receptionist:Are you here for the audition?

Minako poses cutely: That's right! I, Minako Aino, am here to steal the show!

Receptionist: Ah, please don't steal our show, we need that to conquer your - 

Receptionist suddenly realises what she's saying: -ratings! Conquer your ratings!

Minako: Aha, right, of course.

The receptionist lets Minako into the audition room.

Receptionist: Right this way please.

Minako(narration): I can't wait, what kind of aliens are they going to -

Her excitement dims a bit when she sees a bunch of older heavyset gentlemen in suits, whose disguises are every bit as bad as the receptionist. Behind them is a large monitor with a spiral on it.

Alien 1: Welcome, Miss Aino!

Minako: Huh?!

Alien 2: Ooh, yes! She's very nice!

Alien 3: Exactly what we're looking for!

Page 4

Minako is extremely disappointed (slumped over, arms hanging down), but the aliens haven't noticed. Behind her the receptionist slams the door closed and locks it in a single motion, obviously looking forward to this.

Minako: But... But.. My glamorous alien harem...

Receptionist: Oooh, I can't wait to see this one under our spell!

Alien 1: Yes, a pretty human girl like this will be perfect

Alien 2: With all the media you humans consume, it will be easy to spread our influence!

Alien 3: Yes, you will be little more than a tool of your own kind's domination!

Page 5

Alien 1: Now, watch the spiral dear. It's already too late, you humans have such weak wills - 

Minako (Pinching the bridge of her nose): Oh, fine. I guess I have to stop this.

Alien 2: Pardon?

Minako: I mean, even if it's such low effort it's still an evil plan. I might as well get this over with.

Alien 3: She's... not being affected?

Receptionist: Get her!

Minako snaps her fingers and chains suddenly appear around the four aliens. Minako looks super bored

Minako: *sigh* Entrancing Venus Power Makeup

(Then in small text in the same word baloon): I guess.

Page 6

Venus begins her transformation in front of the aliens.

Venus (at the start of her transformation): You want a show? You're gonna get one!

Alien 1: It's one of the Sailor Scouts!

Alien 2: I thought it was Sailor Senshi.

Alien 3: Don't tell me you're dub-trash!

Reception: A sub-supremacist? I thought we were all sensible here!

Page 7: The Sailor Venus transformation continues

Venus:Hey! Pay attention while I'm brainwashing you!

Aliens + Receptionist: Yes, mistress!

Venus(saluting at the end of the sequence): That's better!

Page 8

The aliens and receptionist are all staring at Venus with hearts in their eyes. Venus lets them out of her chains.

Venus: Urgh, well, at least this is good practise for later? When I get someone actually worth brainwashing?

Aliens: We love you, Mistress Venus!

Venus: Yeah, yeah. Take off those creepy skinsuits if you're going to say that sort of thing.

Aliens: Right away mistress!

The skinsuits hit the floor, and Venus has a surprised reaction again.

Venus: Huh?

Page 9

It turns out the aliens are actually quite hot under their skinsuits. Have a mixture of men and women here.

Aliens: We love you, Sailor Venus!

Venus: Ohohoho! Maybe I can work with this after all.

Outside, Luna is talking with Artemis

Luna: Don't tell me, now Minako's at it as well.

Artemis: Alright. I won't tell you.

Luna: Cute. What's she doing with them?

Page 10

Artemis: You're better off not knowing.

Luna: It's that bad?

Sailor Venus has formed a pop group out of the aliens, with herself as the lead.

Venus: Alright everyone, it's time for Sailor Venus and the Love-Me-Invaders to hit your screens!

Artemis: My ears might never recover! Why do humans like that kind of music?!

Luna: Ah, I was worried it might be a bit worse than that.

Venus in a minibubble in the corner of the screen, winking: Teehee, we'll save that fun for the aftershow party!
