As soon as the ceremony ended, Jupiter sheparded the Knights out of the grand room and off to a smaller antechamber. They were met by a palace maid, who curtseyed.
“Jennifer,” Sailor Jupiter addressed the girl with only a slight accent, “Could you show the Knights to their new rooms, please?”
Jennifer nodded, “We just finished them this morning! Set up barracks-style, just as you requested, Secretary of Protection!” the young lady replied and opened a door for the boys to exit through.
“Be nice, guys! I’ll see you later – just get settled in,” Sailor Jupiter gave a little wave in farewell before returning to the receiving hall and taking her place behind the Queen. ‘They’ll be fine,’ she thought with confidence.
The room that the boys were assigned was large, decorated in darker tones with a ceiling that mapped out constellations that were currently in the sky, slightly rotating out of sight to the west and coming into view on the eastern ceiling in time with the Earth’s rotation. Every planet visible was marked with its astronomical symbol, and a small porthole-like window was set to show real-time footage of Jupiter, the screen large enough to show each Galilean moon in detail.
The boys piled in and started claiming one of the four beds, exploring closets stocked with clothing in their size, and generally investigating what would be their quarters whilst training in Crystal Tokyo. They were excited about their new prospects, still in awe of the beautiful Queen and the scouts who had saved their solar system time and time again from evil, and curious about the training they would receive. They had been told of their possible future in another star system, but were generally undecided as a group as to their feelings on the subject…
