I assume Luna and Artemis the Mooncats are classified as shapeshifters?
Yeah, considering what I just wrote yesterday in their welcome-to-Refuge story.
Quote:"There has to be more than that to you," Yui insisted. "Mom let Ui and me watch Sailor Moon in reruns, and I remember Sailor Tin Nyanko came from the same planet as you. And she looked like she was human."
"And all three of us used to take human form back in Crystal Tokyo," Diana added. "You told me that I was supposed to stay in cat form while I was in the past."
Both Luna and Artemis looked surprised to hear that. "You remember how to change forms?" Luna asked.
"I've known how for all my life, mama." Diana looked into Luna's eyes, and a beam of light shot from the younger Mau's crescent mark to the elder's.
"Oh, wow!" came a happy cry from the doorway. Yui, Azusa, and Noodle looked over to see Subaru Mikage. "Magical cats! Are you here to become our advisors? Are Yui-san and Azusa-san about to become transforming heroines? Having magical teammates would make me so much more effective as an Ally of Justice! Oh, but we'd have to move, because Peggy-san doesn't like cats. What are you doing here, anyway?"
Noodle had had enough of Subaru's stream-of-consciousness monologue. "Subie-chan! Stop and breathe!"
"I don't want to become a magical girl," Azusa said quietly.
Then Artemis said, "We're already companions to magical girls, so we can't help you, miss."
"Ooh! Talking cat!"
"Subie-chan, you already knew that they're magical," Azusa pointed out as the light between Diana and Luna finally shut down. Normally, Azusa would show more respect to somebody older than she was, but she'd known Subaru-san long enough that the diminutive that everyone else used sounded right.
"Of course," Luna whispered. "It's so obvious." And she shifted from cat form to human form, complete with the dress and shoes that she wore when she became human during the Sailor Moon S movie.
"Your turn, papa," Diana said as she established a mental connection with Artemis.
Luna walked over to the mirror that Belldandy had passed through a month ago, and looked at herself as a human. Finally, she said, "I do look cute, if I say so myself."
"I always thought so," Artemis replied while putting an arm around her waist. His human form was taller than hers, with long white hair. "At least, seeing you like this awakened some of my memories of the two of us from the Silver Millennium."
Noodle looked over and said, "You know, if you got a haircut, you'd look somewhat like the Thin White Duke."
"I'd better not get a haircut, then. Whoever that is, I don't want to be mistaken for him."
"More importantly,." Diana said while taking human form herself, "we need some clothes other than the one set each of us are wearing."
Luna looked at her daughter from the future, who was the same height as Chibiusa, had grey hair and red eyes, and was wearing a grey skirt and blouse. "Your tail is still showing."
"Oh, mama, you're always complaining that I don't shift all the way..." Diana completed her transformation. "I never get to show off being a Mau."
