Here you are lord and master, but today you must guide an interloper into your domain, into your responsibility.“I thank you again, Commander Maru,” intones Doctor Chou beside you. The snake has finally wriggled his way into your work area. Certainly his donations to the JSDF Paranormal Incident Task Force have been appreciated over the long years...but you have done your diligence to keep this man away from your offices, away from your findings, and away from your secrets. However, now he is directly involved in the UN Paranormal Incident Think Tank, and you can keep him at bay no longer, even with your rank within the Paranormal Incident Joint Task Force, “For this personally guided tour. You cannot begin to imagine how happy it makes me to finally be here,”“And you cannot imagine how upset it makes me that my authority has been overridden,” You do not hide your contempt. Nicities and double speak are the tools of weaker and lesser men.“Please, Commander Maru,” he smiles, “Or can I call you General Kobayashi? I would think at this point we could work beyond code names and titles,”It bristles, hearing even your surname slip from this man's mouth. You quicken your pace, despite your age you remain spry and fit. Dr. Chou follows along beside you.1/?
>>305934662/?“You will observe P.I.T Force Protocol while within these halls, Dr. Chou,” soldiering on, not bothering to meet his eyes, “We are not friends, and you and your company is a Civillian Contractor who will have to follow our confidentiality agreement to the letter or I will make sure you and your legal team have hell to pay,”He adjusts his cravat, he is always fidgeting and adjusting things. He is a man of appearance, but without a military discipline to make certain everything is as it should be the first time, every time. His game, politics or money, whatever it is...it disgusts you.“So. What is the nature of the project you want my biotech firms involved with?”“It is the final sample of Osaka Umino's work,”“Really. I thought it had all be stolen from his off the books laboratory?”“This was recovered after his disappearance and before the discovery of his lab,”You pass through several locked and guarded gates with the snake alongside you. Eventually you come to the observation room for the project. The few scientists and guards on standby stand at your entry and salute.“At ease,”Beyond the observation glass is one of your most trusted officers, Captain Naru Osaka. She is wearing a warm and casual outfit and sitting with a child who at first glance, could not be more than a year old. She is showing the child, whom is sitting still and calm beside her, the contents of one of several composition note books. The room is comfortable, there are toys, a simple bed, and a number of heavy academic books alongside children's books on low set shelves.“Commander Maru...what exactly am I looking at?” his tongue practically flicks the air for the scent.“A Miracle,”End Miracle of Science Interlude-
>>305934822/?You are Mikage Chiba, second year High School Student, 15 years old. A year and a half ago you stopped being the Champion of Love and Justice, Sailor Moon. In the wee hours of the early morning you have just finished cleaning up your stunned father's spilled tea from the living room carpet.He is silent. He last saw you two weeks ago, and the differences between then and now are pronounced. You are significantly taller, your light pink hair has become longer and more deep and vibrant, and there is an unusual crest adorning your brow. You definitely feel nervous...and you aren't sure if the new additions to your smile are extended or not as you keep your lips tightly screwed shut.Your father, in a display of the impressive patience that has dealt with your own mother's eccentricities for in excess of twenty years, has allowed you to go about your stated intentions before demanding any sort of explanation. It is not beyond imagination that he is exceedingly used to weird goings on, especially where his children are concerned. Balling the now slightly moistened towel in your hands, you try to figure where to begin. Do you wait for your father to make an inquiry beyond saying your name or do you take initiative in explaining everything that has happened. Will you tell your father everything? Are there some things he shouldn't know? What of the Shintennou? What of your exploits as eclipse? What about your lucid and violent dream? What of...what of the man you killed?>Tell him somethings, but not everything. What do you tell him?>Tell him everything. How?>Tell him a convenient lie. What do you say?>Tell him an inconvenient lie. What do you say?>DADDY! (tackle, cry for comfort)>...daddy, (hug in a reserved search for comfort)>Write In.
>>30593466>Maru. Kobayashi Maru.ABANDON SHIP! KLINGONS ARE COMING TO FUCK OUR SHIT!
>>30593512>Tell him a convenient lie. What do you say?"I had a strange dream, and then some of it was still there when I woke up."
>>30593512.>...daddy, (hug in a reserved search for comfort)>Tell him everything.
>>30593512>Tell him somethings, but not everything. What do you tell him? we should probably tell him about the Shitennou

>>305941041/2~...daddy,~ you drop the towel and walk forward, wrapping your arms around your father and burying your face in his chest.If mom could make you feel loved no matter what you thought about yourself with the slightest bit of effort, your father needed none; just his proximity made you feel loved and safe.Safe. Your mind drifts back to * THAT * night, so far away from where you are now. Your thought outside your parent's bedroom where your mother slept alone while he was abroad. If he had been home that night, you would have told him everything without hesitation. You would have unloaded your pain and fear and laid the whole of it bare before him, but the urgency faded. By the time he had come home, you had built your wall and fortified your sanctuary as best your could on your own. Those fortifications have have been breached now...the wall have come crumbling down. Your scant few tears stain his vest, and you begin.You begin with Kairi. You begin with the promise. Unlike with Luna, you are able to keep your composure throughout that terrible night up until the deathblow. It isn't long before you've come home and withdrawn form everything after pressing the Crystal into your sister's hands.The time spent in that two year gap is a blur, nothing happened of value or note and passes with less than a sentence.Yesterday, yesterday is a saga.
>>305947872/2Of skipping when you shouldn't have because you needed a break. Hiding in plain sight and hearing Rin's portents of doom during her secret meeting with her father. Finding your mother and Osaka-san in the midst of the preamble to her return to the public eye. Luna's comfort. Mother's Love.Your friend in danger. Donning the shroud of mystery before taking to the sky. The rebirth of Mercury. Fire and pain. Lightning and heroics you lied about having no further part of. Luna's crisis, and of new life. Aiha's shock. Spending time with her and your sister and feeling happy to be around others for the first time in a long time. Young Venus and your fear that the life that is coming for her will destroy her innocence.The long walk home. Being drawn to the study. The Shintennou asking for death and release, the sensation of their brethren being awakened by an unseen force. Your decision. Your rage. Accepting their power and sacrificing of yourself before you let anyone else die.Your dream. Your pain. Your transformation.It's over, its free from you like a clearing storm.“Mikage,” your name on his lips makes you feel like home as much as watching mom flit about the kitchen singing off key.It hangs there, you aren't sure when you went from standing to sitting on the couch. His hands are comforting on your shoulders.“You didn't kill him,”It stops. The distant clouds roar back, blown by the breath carried on his words.>Wait. What?!>What...no...nonononononononono he was dead. He was dead he was dead he was dead he was dead.

>>30595291Shadow Stealth (Ex)Subtle Magic (Ex)These are also fine.
>>30595291I'll vote for these two, they work rather well.

>>30595477Hey, that does sound cool.>>30595186>No one of consequenceI'll leave the other power to crunchier players.
>>30595606Thematically I like those two as starting skills, but after looking around the site a bit I think we should grab Path Dabbler into Assured Skill [Marshal] to buffer against /tg/ dice on important rolls.
>>30595186Also, looking at the other paths does have some good stuff that we may want to take later.Marshal path has some stuff that would be good for inspiring with our presence, like how the scouts were inspired by Tuxedo Mask. Guardian has some good stuff to, Borrow Elements especially. Archmage also has some good stuff for fire power and versatility.

>>30595782Do you mean 3rd tier? There is no 2nd tier on that website?
>>30595884Yes, 30 restarting on the clock.
>>305958121/2Drowning in storm clouds, you break through and clutch the lapels of your fathers. Its relief. Its the weight that has been drowning you for over a year being lifted off you all at once. That others knew and forgave you...it made thing better. That you might not have killed him...that you aren't a murderer at all, its freedom. It is total freedom, tinged with the regret of the dark you hid yourself in for so long.~Wait. What?!~You become excited. Manic. This means. Oh goodness this means.How? Can it even be true? The flute went straight through his skull...but...but your father would never lie to you. Would he?~Then, then I can keep my promise to Kairi?~ you are smiling and crying again.In your excitement, your feel your fangs slip out. Beneath your grip you can feel your father tense in surprise. You told him about this, but perhaps seeing it was something he wasn't quite prepared for. To see his daughter become something like that...you slink back, but remain hopeful.
>>30595782Mirror DodgeImprobable Prestidigitation
>>305960312/2“No...I'm sorry Mika-chan,” he leans forward and lays a hand on top of your head, “He died, long before you found him in that lab. That was an empty shell full of something dark and terrible,”You freeze. It..it would explain why Moon Healing Escalation wouldn't work. You begin to shake and the tears continue without sobs.“His killer, his killer is still out there. They think he's involved with the group you, Koyomi, and Aiha fought yesterday. The preliminary investigation of the drugs they were using marked them as derivatives of Umino's work,” he's gentle. He wants to brace you against this.This sudden notion of failure. The monsters. Magician. Was...was it all a distraction that has lead to the way things are now? You're shaking. Sailor Moon stopped Magician...but that was a trick, an illusion, a misdirection.>no...then...I failed to stop the real bad guy back then?>(get mad, yes, get mad in front of your father)>I'm not a killer...I'm not a killer. Dad, dad I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for running away from everything.>I'm...I need to go back to bed.>Write in>Write in

>>30596074>(get mad, yes, get mad in front of your father)>Revenge! Revenge Revenge Revenge!It's not just that they tricked us. They murdered our best friend's father and let us think it was our fault, all while hiding in the shadows.We are the shadows now. We are the night. And whoever is responsible for that is going to pay.
>>30595782Perfect Lie is going to be my call, we are going to have to bullshit our way out once our sister and the new senshi start wondering about our motives and actions, and until we're ready to make the whole reveal, we may need to bullshit like pro.>(get mad, yes, get mad in front of your father)because wow, now you find out the guys who are responsible for failing to keep your promise and helped wreck your goddamn emotional state got away scot free and are at it again, goingonarampage.png
>>30596074>Get mad!Demand to see life's manager!
>>30596284Dammit I love you guys.You have no idea how hard I have been trying not to involve Cave Johnson in this quest.
>>30596012>Vanishing Move>Fickle AttackBecause fuck /tg/ dice
>>30595782Going to say Vanishing move, becuas eit was one of the shadows abilities.
>>30596331I like where this is going. Stay cool, here come the space cops
>>30596135>>30596217>>30596266>>30596284>>30596215Writing.
Hmm...It looks like you guys want Vanishing move and or Perfect Lie?Do you want them together, or do you want one and something else?
>>30596666I think together is fine, they did get the most votes
>>30596813Well, more or less.
>>30596666Together works.
>>30596813>>30596875>>30596897Then Vanishing Move is your third path ability.AndPerfect Lie is your unexpected bonus Path Ability gained by doubling down on your inner yin and yang.

>>30596967Will
>>30596454And that means...and that means you failed. You may have saved live. You may have stopped anyone else from getting hurt. Yet, it feels hollow. Someone out there got away with something. Someone out there has an agenda you never even knew about.~No...then I failed to sop the real bad guy back then?~You become still. Though you can still feel the rage beneath the surface, it feels muted. Distant. There are more important things than being angry, more important than the disappointment.“So. What will Eclipse be doing about that? Continuing the family tradition of helping out and cleaning up after the Sailor Scouts?” your father smiles. It raises your spirits, that pride he has in what you've chosen to do when you found that world dropped back into your life...even if you weren't ready., “And,” something else, “what will YOU do, my darling child,”Well?>What are you, both of you, going to do?
>>30596967Gonna say Agility, since its something we use a lot.
>>30597006Final Destination 5 Minutes on the clock. Post link this one and only have the vote number.1 Will2 AgilityNow then, after you've done that, link this post again and Choose 2 Mythic or Normal Feats.You can choose a Mythic Feat without having the Normal Feat, you effectively get it for free.You can also choose feats from the rest of Pathfinder, D&D 3.5, d20 Modern, or Urban Arcana, or Dragon Magazine as long as you can meet the modified Prerequisites.However, maybe you should veer toward more of those Delicious Mythic/Planet/Senshi feats.Being longer and more involved, this one has 60 minutes on the clock.

>>30597126(jk) I'm going to Disney Land!>Be the silent protector. A Dark Knight the sailor scouts, my sister and friends, can count on. From the shadows.
Also I want to take the time to plug one of the other Magical Girl Quests on this board.Kintolesky !!9sr6U5dy4Eb runs Evil Pre Cure Quest and it's going on right now.Also I imagine the lot of you might also haunt the other Magical Girl Quests we've got here, like Deculture's Magical Girl Noir, the wondrous Larro has the sometimes Magical Girl sometimes super hero story of Hero Quest, and I hear tell that German Schteel has Magical Girl Liberty Quest, for Maximum AMERICA.
>>30597126They could probably use someone looking out for them.If I can keep them from into too much trouble, maybe we'll able to finish what I started.

>>30597401Already there~ I don't have the reserves of Sailor Moon pics to participate in this one as heavily though. I mostly just anon it.Love what you're doing here.
>>30597687Cool
Alright, done playing a slender man inspired superhero for the day and braved the amazing lack of snow to return home and be here. Now to see what I missed..
>>30597305Are the Mythic Senshi things in the pastebins?

>>30597905If only I could participate more often but this quest only runs during the time I'm on night shifts.
>>30593482Anyone see 'The Fly 2'? I'm getting that vibe.Heavy secrets indeed, Mrs Osaka.>>30594816It finally comes out..>>30595782Wish I could been around, but I can work with those.>>30596923Groovy.>>30597677I gotta say, I'm pretty happy with how things are going here.Alright now to make some feat choices..>>30598012Yeah, I've been lucky with the timing for the most part. Weekends are usually tricky for me.
>>305976771/2~I'm going to help them finish what I started,~ you get up and clench your fist. ~I'm going to support them when I can from the darkness...and we're going to get...whoever, whatever is responsible~Your father nods and smiles, but then turns serious.“The Shintennou, they were right. I would never have let them go,” your father becomes stern.There it is, the icy disposition of the negotiator. You feel the fluttering of power as the twisting shadows slide out of your shadow and position themselves around the room. Kunzite steps forward, the black cling dropping away revealing a more pleasing and true phantom reflection of who he was in life.“I have faith in your daughter, my King,”“I am no King,” your father smiles at Kunzite's presence, “Elysion is a memory, and we already stopped the Genesis of Crystal Tokyo,”He rises, moving over to the mantle, and picks up a simple cane propped against the wall. Between shifting shadows or an errant blink, you cannot possibly be sure which, he is clad in a tuxedo. In the next instant it is white, as is his hair. Finally he is clad in the same lightly armored regalia you saw the short haired version of yourself wear briefly in the dream, his cane now a sheathed sword.“Mikage. Take good care of them,” he seems...sad. Reminiscent of a life that he only has fleeting memories of. Another man, who he has struggled with both being and not being his entire life, “Kunzite.”“My Lord,”“Zoicite” he drops through the mist as a more complete ghost.“My Prince,”“Nephrite”“Majesty” he steps from his shadow calmly.“Jaedite,”“Endymion!” the dark runs off of him, dust in the rain.The Four Heavenly Kings stand arrayed about your living room. Your father draws the blade enough to inspect his own reflection in it's sheen before snapping it shut. It is again a cane. He is again Mamoru Chiba, you father.
>>30597984I misunderstood you. I thought you were saying the Mythic Senshi feats were separate from the normal Mythic ones.As for what to take...I remember people talking about Dual Path and Spell Lore (Mythic) ...
>>305984862/2“Protect her and guide her. See this through, and don't any of you dare die,” there is a melancholy to his words, a somber regret, “that is my last decree to you as Prince of Elysion. You are in the service of my daughter now; even if it is too late to grant that permission, it is given,”They bow their heads, and again they sink into the darkness as it stretches and roils out from beneath your feet.For a quiet moment, you are alone again with your father. He passes you by, heading toward the stairs. Pausing to lay a hand on your shoulder, he gives you a tired smile.“Do your best. Don't be afraid to ask for help,” he removes his hand and heads for the stairs, “And never underestimate the power of a dramatic entrance,”As he walks up the stairs he casts one last glance at you from over his shoulder, “And if you go the route, buy your roses in bulk and freeze them instead of getting them fresh daily. You'll thank me for that later,”>Do motorcycles make good dramatic entrances?>Say something else.>Do something else.>Write in.>Stay up and start getting ready for your day.>Early Breakfast.>Roll me a 1d20 + 4 endurance Test. DC 10. Best of three. 1's and 20's wild.
>>30598487Well good thing I've got a vote with 8 minutes on that clock.
>>30597305Can I ask for a few extra minutes on the clock?I was a mite late to the party.
>>30598521>>Early Breakfast.How the heck did we do all this talking without breakfast?

Rolled 6 + 4>"What if one of them gets a crush on me?"
>>30598687>>30598885>>30598639Writing
Mythic Spell Lore is a lock. Think of Some Spells from the paste bin. You presently get 3...And more time on the clock for the other feat,Currently leading are Mythic Paragon...which would get you 2 more spells I guess.
>>30599079I say mythic shatter defensesIt would cause an enemy to be flat footed to EVERYONES attackAnd would have nice rose synergy if we want to try that out.
>>30599153You don't Qualify for the non mythic version of the feat.BAB is replaced with your level.Other skill prereqs become the appropriate training lowered by 3.Feat Prerequisites remain.Racial prereqs we can play fast and loose with.
Rolled 12 + 4>>30597305>>30598748Persuasive (Mythic) & Dodge (Mythic)or maybe Deadly Aim (Mythic) & Dodge (Mythic)>>30599079Yeah, getting the spells is good too.I'll say Mythic Dodge for the defense boost.or Mythic Iron Will.I am bad at narrowing decisions.
>>30599262But we can still take it? Because it sounds like an epic way to wreck someone's day. And if they're messing with our little sister, they deserve to get epic wrecked.
>>30599268Or Deft Hands (Mythic), crack that thievery path open in a big way.
>>30599299Unlike normal Mythic Rules, you do not need to already have the non mythic version of the feat, you get that free when you take the mythic.What you do need is to be ABLE to take the non mythic version, meeting the prerequisites and all that jazz.
>>30599304>>30599268Basically, I'm in favor of Mythic feats that give skill bonuses to things we want to do, because we get the skill bonus from that and the underlying feat.And leaves more skillpoints free for other things we want.
>>30599345Well, that's unfortunate. We'll just have to find other ways to wreck the deserving.
>>30599079Stealthy (Mythic).Mad Stealth bonuses.
Given our interest in our knife, I wonder about Witch Knife (Mythic). Maybe transform it into our Planetary Foci?Probably better to ask Dad and the generals about that that use a feat, I suppose, but the +1 could be nice.
>>30599010Rolled Endurance, 19 vs 10, successfullyYou call after your dad, half playful and half serious ~Do Motorcycles make good dramatic entrances?~“When you're older,”~I thought I asked you to compare days~“You win, I had to listen to a crazy man rant about Aliens and then spent the rest of the night having your mother flirt at me while we were under extreme scrutiny.” he sighs, disappearing up the stairwell.~I'm going to make breakfast,~“I'll be down for it in a bit,” he sighs, “I'm going to take a look at the damage to my study”...oh, right. That. You look down at yourself, the bottoms of your socks are still gone, and the frayed edges of your clothing remain slightly burnt...but you are making breakfast. You are hungry and you need something too do, you can worry about getting changed after your morning exercises and shower.So...what to make for breakfast for you and dad?>Traditional Breakfast Spread: Steamed Rice, Miso Soup, Natto, Nori, Tamagoyaki (omelet roll), Broiled Salmon, and pickled vegetables...you guess you can make and set out enough for everyone when they do wake up...actually, it's been a while since I tried this much cooking.>Western Breakfast: Omelet and Bacon. This is hard to screw up, and you guess you can make a lot of it...for your mom and sister when they eventually wake up, yeah, for that.>Simple Breakfast: Oatmeal, Fruit Bowl, Coffee...something is missing though.>there's...something else...I just can't think of it.>Write in

Mythic Spell Lore seems to still be a lock for your first feat, as nothing else has more than one vote.Okay, final destination.Vote on one of the Feats so far suggested that IS legally available to be paired up with Mythic Spell Lore. Final Destination Style but with feat name instead of number.10 Minutes. Now.

>>306000941/2Well, as early as it is, you are really hungry. You are a flurry in the kitchen, exhausting the eggs and some of the light veggies (tossing some daikon, onions, peppers, and cheese into the eggs) as you fold and flip the omelets. All the while you deplete your mother's bulk supply of bacon from the reaches of the freezer. In no time at all the smell of sizzling meat permeates the house, and as if a miracle you hear your mother and sister stirring, though not yet waking, upstairs as your father enters the kitchen at the still early hour of 4:30.You made omelets like a machine, a few of them may be a little dry, but you made one absolutely perfect and have it set at your father's place at the table before any of the others. The bacon is piled high as you set the serving tray on the table.“I'd comment on the portion, but it's probably a good idea to be prepped for them to wake up,”~I figured...also I'm really hungy~“Forced transformations have that effect on people,” he settles into his seat as you set a mug of coffee in front of him, black, “or maybe you really are your mother's daughter”You set about enjoying breakfast with your father with a fake frown, but it passes quickly as you enjoy your own cooking. After demolishing a fair amount of Bacon, and your second omelet...questions begin to rise in your mind. They drown out the momentary thoughts about missing something. You're still hungry and there is something else you could eat...but you can't for the life of you think about it, you just know whatever it is you'll need it. It isn't an all consuming need now...but you think it could be...soon. You put it out of your mind, to the periphery.~So, the Shintennou said I had Earth power...do you have any artifacts or could you show me how to harness it better~He shakes his head. “It's mostly intuitive. All I can really do is show you something once and you could try to see if you can do it too,”~Okay,~
>>306006652/2“As for Artifacts...I can give you something to use other than the disguise pen” he reaches into nothing, and is holding a billowing flutter of white fabric.As he hands it over to you, it becomes black. He seems to think something over.“Speaking of which, since there wasn't a proper Earth Senshi before, I doubt Luna would have a transformation wand on hand. You could probably forge one yourself, sliver it off from your Star Seed...or you can do what I did and just internalize your power,”Hmm...something to think on.“Also, what do you think you're going to tell your mother and Koyomi about-” he gestures to your hair, skin, and height, “all of this,”...damnit...stupid crazy magic growth.Well, you've got a lunar crest like thing on your head?>Focus on suppressing the crest>Focus on how you used to look.>write inand>Embrace your Starseed>Fraction your Starseed>Do something else, what?

Maybe we can 'retract' the whole appearance. Failing that, disguise pen for a couple hours while we try to figure it out.and~Hey, where did you get this cloak from?~Just now, and in general.
>>30600953If you fractioned it, you'd have a transformation item with a full transformation state. The item would have an MP pool for you to use, and most of your new power would be accessible in your transformed state only.

>>30601097Ah, answered already.Though questions about MLK remain.. and Endymion armor too.And the Tuxedo Mask Transformation.Basically, how can we do transform like he does without relying on the pen.
>>30600761Needs more Magic Rose and Hail of Roses.
Guys, If we're going to use the Roses, didn't we kind of screw ourselves by NOT taking the "thrown" mythic ability?
>>30601322Take a Read between the text of Deadly Throw and the one that you did take.You certainly did not screw yourself.
>>30601322We still have solid ranged bonuses, and Surprise Strike can work with thrown as well.
>>30601386And this is why I don't vote on crunch matters unless it's for something really, really, really cool.It's nice that we didn't screw ourselves, but I just don't crunch well enough to be sure.
>>30601266My only hesitance is that I still don't know where to keep all the roses and still keep things secretive.Probably ask Dad about that.Actually would like Hail of Roses, area attack with an attack roll, and that means margins of success, with makes it better, in my opinion, than the Crystal Storm's auto-hit.Hey Art, what would the Focus item for that be, anyway? Base version doesn't even need stones, just a gem foci.
>>306010521/2You take a deep breath, and try and relax your power. The sensation seems natural as you can feel the crest fade from your brow, and your hair coils and turns in on itself in a facsimile of its previous shoulder length, hopefully color too...but you aren't really able to judge right now. Despite these changes, you remain taller. Oh well, you can brush that off as slouching and poor posture.Continuing to dive into yourself, you see in your minds eye the starseed you held in your dream. It burns brightly as you fall into it. It doesn't burn, and you feel warm and safe. In this space you curl into the center of the crystal.>You do not need to be transformed to use any of your powers, you have access to them at all times.>When you reveal your crest you can choose to also summon the Regalia of Eclipse as a free action.>You for a moment percieve the distant motion and spiral of the milky way galaxy. It's beautiful. You see the formation of the earth itself over millions of years, and the great conflagrations of violence of recent history in but a blink.>You are back at the breakfast table with your father.As you open your eyes, you see your mother walk into the kitchen wide eyed, Koyomi is close behind her. They apparently didn't know there was such a thing as 5am in the morning, but since there is bacon they will chose it to be proof that such a strange concept can exist.
>>30601528foci is replaced by a preserved or pressed rose.
>>306016682/2The rest of the morning flows by in a blur, your mother and sister don't seem to question your state, and you feel yourself flushed with new abilities and the bubbling return of spells once known and new magics. The remainder of your morning is a familiar blur. Your exercises. Your Shower, and a slightly earlier shot out the door. Your uniform is, to your annoyance, a bit loose in some places, and a bit tighter in others, but overall doesn't look too much different on you than when compared to normal.So...here we go.

>>306023751/?>Success.As you drift in the early morning, it occurs to you that no one will be at campus until at least 6:30 or 7. School itself won't start proper until 9...and you're feeling listless.When you skipped school, yesterday, it was because you felt overwhelmed and unchallenged. The thought of spending your day cooper up there WITH other people made your skin crawl. Now...now you aren't sure you want to waste a day. A day of new found freedom. Even if there is something going on, some kind of conspiracy stretching back to your time as Sailor Moon...it feels distant.Your body is flush with power, and for the first time in forever you are free of guilt. You finally forgave yourself, and then you learned you hadn't done something terrible after all. Everything seems brighter. Everything smells sharper. More than a year spent in unhappiness, depressed and scared in the dark. Though, while you aren't a murderer...you did fail to keep your promise to Kairi...a promise she doesn't remember...a promise that was impossible to keep.You stop. You are only three blocks from campus. Not much further away is the Osaka house. With the past 24 hours...you want your life back. The life you been avoiding. The friendships you ended without a word....maybe you can finally look her in the eye again.You've known for a while that she's lonely too. Right after she got out of the hospital, people kept their distance from her. Its fairly uncommon for people who have been forced to turn into monsters get...outed...but when and where you fought Kairi left little room to be concerned with that while you were trying to save her and everyone else.She came back to school, two weeks into the first year of high school...and everyone avoided her. People whispered about her. You tried to approach, but kept loosing your nerve. Does she think you're scared of her?
>>306032052/2...cutting yourself off from everyone probably hurt Kairi.Sure people talked with her these days...but you hear that she eats lunch alone, like you do.You turn.You're going to Kairi's house. This is about mending bridges.Mending...might as well.You flip your phone open, after the kitten was born, you snapped a few pictures. You dial * HER *...you dial her contact information in and send the photo. You're feeling playfully bitchy, so maybe she'll find it funny.-Time Marches on-You smile. She and Diana are going to loose their shit over this. Mulling it over in your head, you resolve that you will continue to despise time travel.As you put your phone away, no responses, you come to the house in question. Straight to the door. Hand on the buzzer.You tense. You wait.It opens.You can admit you're embarrassed. Probably ashamed.How the hell do you get back into someone's life like this.Kairi Osaka stands before you, and at first she looks confused.Then sad.Then angry.Lastly resolved.“What do you want, Chiba-san”Something in her house smells amazing!

For a second that smell you can't place grows stronger, and you finally understand it. It smells like overly ripe fruit, either on the verge of fermentation or baking. A sweet and intoxicating smell even if you can't figure where it's coming from.<Princess, you should keep your distance from this girl> warns Nephrite.<Someone sounds jealous> Zoicite replies in a singsong voice.“Well...come in,” she steps back and to the side to let you in.Crossing the threshold, the smell intensifies.
