Interludes

When I was a Monster

Water, running from the faucet, drowns the deafening quiet of the rest of the house. Bowls, utensils, the broiling tray, & everything else was already washed and clean...but you don't want to move from the sink. Not yet.

The hot water feels good as it cascades between your fingers. No, it isn't hot enough. You want to feel something, take yourself out of this shocked numbness. Its there, the feelings. Hurt. Betrayal. Sadness. Anguish. Anger. Loathing. Fear. All of them there. All of these feelings for Mikage, and for yourself. They just seem out of step with you, as though you've walked ahead of them and they're fast catching up.

The way he spoke, the way his skin shown gray, and his mannerisms and twisting posture. Even if it had memories. Even if it was his face. You believe Mikage, about your father being dead, but that she kept it so long. That she let people hate you. That you never knew what happened...too afraid to go back to his lab yourself.

There was one thing you weren't afraid of though. One morbid curiosity that you couldn't leave alone. One secret that you kept on top of remembering. One secret that you didn't share with Mikage today, even when she told you something you couldn't have imagined.

She saved you. She made you human again and rescued you from being trapped within that monster forever...but you weren't trapped. You lied a bit there.

You cried about what you did after you were human again. Inside, as that creature you were numb and had no emotion. It did not please you that your velvet cloth hands were constricting around her throat, but you didn't actually feel anything.

When you were a monster, everything was like that.

Turning the water off, you flinch. Your fingers are pruned and red, a light scalding that you had hoped to distract you a little longer from the oncoming pain.

You drift to your room, to your memory box, and to the secret contents held in a black nylon pencil bag within.

On the table, strapped there, the thing that looked like your father gave you a location and a combination for bus locker on the edge of the city. He knew that Sailor Moon might be able to turn his greatest work back into a precious girl of human flesh...so he told you that if the wonders he had given her are pleasing, and she wanted to get them back...to go there.

And, you were curious. It was wrong, it was stupid, and it was dangerous...but you were curious. Scared. Lonely. An outcast.

Inside was a duffel bag, filled with vials and syringes. There were minor instructions on what each one did. This and that could make you something beautiful again, those and this could make your strong for a short time but wash out of your system. This could make you think clearly, without the cloud of human emotion.

Without the cloud.

Without the cloud.

You could stay numb a little longer.

You pull out the last vial of the thing that just made you numb...not many doses left.

The green fluid beckons a glance below. The one that could make you a monster again. It's frightening. It's terrifying. Still...it entices you; and that's what scares you more.

Finding a vein you apply the numbness just as it overtakes you. Just as you begin to cry.

It hits your system like ice. When the shock passes you impassively pack the secret back away. You've got to finish getting ready for school. As the pale green glow disappears beneath the closing zipper, you scoff at your earlier thought you had, about being the monster again so you'd never have to feel. It's more foolish than what you are doing now, and when it passes you will be in great pain.

That is a concern for later. Though you doubt Chiba-san will be at school after the earlier exchange, you would like to speak with her before this cool disposition wears off. You are curious how the former Sailor Moon has become an emotional vampire. Is she a monster now, but one with a conscience. Could she return to normal by the hand of the new Sailor Moon? In the absence of the petty pains and fears, you are left with simple curiosity. Is this how your father felt after he died?

When I was a Monster Part 2

You wake up with a start and a scream. Death, death came twice in white searing light for you in your dreams again last night. This time was worse...this time it tried to tell you a story. It was a sad one, and all the faces but your own were black silhouettes...except...except the end. You could see the face of that woman clear as day as she killed you.

You are uncertain if you've ever seen her face before.

It takes a minute to steady your breathing. Hair a mess, you begin getting ready as you recount what you can recall from that...nightmare.

You are beautiful, your raven black hair blowing in the wind of a beautiful land, the likes of which you have never seen before. You are in love.

As you run your hair brush to smooth out the waves born of your unpleasant dreams, you feel bitter. In your dream the man you love was himself in love with another. You lashed out in jealousy; if you were denied then no one would have him. The world was burned by your anger.

Your death came happily as your vengeance was cast.

The second death, you are no longer beautiful. Consumed by something terrible, you are trying to kill the woman he loved...but she is already dead. You are already dead? No...you aren't who you were before. Neither is she. Neither is he. Still, they love one another.

And you would burn the world a second time if she wasn't in your way.

The light from her wand reveals her face, her hair whipping wildly behind her. She pities you. She wants to heal your wounded heart. Die, you scream, DIE DIE DIE!

Beneath the both of you, the ground began to sunder. She finds her strength, and you are consumed in light and love. Perforated by something you've lost...it destroys you.

And you wake up.

That face. Finally it is familiar, save for eye color and the crescent crest adorning her brow. Your classmate's little sister...but that can't be right. Why is she holding a crescent wand?

"What's happening to me," you brace yourself against the sink and force the tears back, choking down any sobs.

There is a knock on the bathroom door.

"Keiko, sweetie," your worried mother calls to you, "Mori-san is here to walk with you to school. Are you alright?"

No. No you are not, but that is no reason to trouble your mother with such problems. After all, they're just bad dreams.

Bad dreams of being killed with love.

As you leave, you fail to notice your reflection moving just behind you in the mirror, a few seconds out of step, as your shadow stretches as it clings to where you stood on the floor before resuming your trail.

Punch it UP (bonus, no drawings)

You practically glide out of the locker room, so light on your feat that you can scarcely believe it.

Not only had you secured your spot in the upcoming AIBA International Youth Tournament to be hosted in Tokyo next month, but you just received word that your exchange transfer has been approved for just 2 weeks after.

With AIBA footing the bill you'll be able to meet your host family early, get the lay of the land, maybe witness the first or fourth Sailor Moon in action, and make others cry and bleed in the ring.

Oh yes, that is the best part. You are giddy with excitement for travel and violence. Bouncing into your footwork as though it were second nature, you barely register you have begun shadow boxing as you leave the gym and head to your job site.

You could give your notice now...have some more time off before you leave?

Yes. You could use a vacation.

Hmm...you know a few people online who live in Tokyo...or are supposed to. Reaching for your phone you wonder if @RedEyedBeast is the real deal and not just some joke about the popular Urban Myth.

Still, they seem nice and fun. Yes, perhaps you do have a friend waiting in Tokyo.

And if they are the real Red Eyes...

You have someone you want to fight, and...maybe something else.

Your message is direct, and it isn't private. It is a call, a subtle challenge.

Yes, just 3 weeks until you can test yourself against the greatest young boxers of your generation and maybe against the delinquent nightmare of Juuban.

Quest Start

You are Mikage Chiba, 2nd Year High School Student, 15 years old. You just confessed to your, likely former, best friend that you'd been keeping it a secret from her that you knew what happened to her father.

The good news...she didn't explode and call you a murderer.

The bad news...she probably hates you and probably never wants to speak with you again.

Shortly after this exchange, an attempt to get back into each other's lives that you worry may have sealed the opposite, you found yourself crying in a small park. Here you thought that you would be alone with your feelings, but one of your classmates is here.

That...guy. You don't remember his name at all. You know he tries to greet you with some frequency, but whenever anyone you don't actually know does that you have had this tendency to brush them off since...well you know since when. Everything goes back to *THAT* day nowadays, doesn't it? His hair has this unnatural thing going on where it's highlighted some kind of purple, and that is the only thing that ever stood out to you about him. He's here; and offering you a handkerchief. A definite sincerity is spread across his face, and somehow, him being here makes the garden around you remind you of mom's green thumb even more.

Totally not weird, right?

No...no it's pretty weird.

It doesn't take much effort to reign yourself in with a deep breath before reaching up and taking his handkerchief. Drying your tears you meet his, kind of interesting and haunting, eyes with a straight face. You don't really know him, and as sincere as he seems to be being with concern he isn't a part of your twisted little world.

~I'm fine~

You betray nothing, if you played poker no one would know you were staying in on a worthless hand. You exude confidence and bravado as false as your knees are shaky.

“I see,” he leans back as you hand back the handkerchief, “Was I that obvious hmmm...how long have you known?”

Your expression doesn't falter as you rise to your feet, the young man before you looking off in thought. Before you can collect yourself and respond to find out what the hell he's talking about, he shimmers and is changed before you.

“I suppose I should not have underestimated you. No doubt you'd been waiting to meet with me on your own terms instead of on my own; but you had to be sure of my intentions first, didn't you?”

Wait...what?

He stands no taller than he did before, his skin is now paler than yours when you woke up changed. His hair has shifted from a light brown with purple highlights to a pale blue with purple highlights, matched by his piercing and thin eyes. His ears extend out and curve into points and he is wearing...something. The jacket looks like it is framed with some kind of golden wood grown in a pattern, the rest is a very * VERY * tight bodysuit. His smile is coy. His features are elfin.

...seriously, what?

>Write In.

>>30700125
Ummm....I was just telling a boy I was fine because I had no interest in interacting with him further. I have no idea what the fuck you are. Here's you handkerchief. *give back handkerchief and then turn and book it*

Damn, I'm drawn between the grizzled 'I'v e seen some shit' and the 'wtfbbq' response.

Blink at him, step back. Probably edge hand toward the Knife's hiding place.

>>30700176
Too much telling him exactly how we feel for my tastes. That's blunt and rude, and I'd honestly rather leave a mixed impression.

>>30700280
Meh, I've seen our Mikage as a more not putting up with shit type of girl. Perhaps she has a bit more Western thinking about her with her father being a diplomat, and thus knowing English. Still, I'd rather run than stick around.

Well, tactically we're also out in the open and that is no place for a stealth-type to be fighting. It's more that suddenly revealing his heretofore unsuspected (by Mikage) secret identity in the middle of a conversation is ridiculously outrageous than frightening. Either he's an idiot and doesn't know jack shit about timing the reveal, or he's in a very favorable position to jack us right here and now.

Running away and telling him nothing is safer.

>>30700402
Why would he hide what he was at all if he was planning to throw down with us here?

Hell, why not just jump us while we were distracted with crying our eyes out?

Or we trip over each other and get into harem comedy hijinks. Koyomi starts thinking Mikage is in a harem situation with Gai, Eclipse, and other not introduced yet people.

Your mind sparks a moment, as the ludicrous nature of this exchange catches up to you. He stares at you expectantly.

~Ummm....I was just telling a boy I was fine because I had no interest in interacting with him further. I have no idea what the fuck you are. Here's you handkerchief~

He seems equally dumbfounded as you spin on your heal and explode into a run. You haven't stretched, you had just been curled up on the ground, and you're still trying to cope with the added inches of height that seem to have mostly settled upon your legs. Your awkward start is marred by the sound of his pursuit.

“Wait!” he cries confused and kinda sad mmmm savory , “This is a misunderstanding, I'm no-”

His cry trails off and his footsteps stop behind you, you don't dare look over your shoulder to see what happened when he materializes in a sudden fade in front of you while floating about an inch off the ground.

“-t trying to hurt-,”

>>30701311
2/2

Your awkward steps and his misplaced teleportation result in a sudden collision that send you both tumbling to the ground.

“YOUFFFF!”
~AH!~

When the dust settles, he is beneath you in a jumble worthy of a drunken game of twister. You seem to find your composure first, and before even trying to rise have your hand edging to your flip knife's hiding place.

~Seriously, what?~ You shout down to him, a strange mix of frustration and confusion. “SERIOUSLY WHAT THE HECK!?~

He is shaken and surprised. The distinct spread of disappointment and shame become clear and noticeable across his face. And...there's something else...a tickle on your tongue and in your nose and screaming in the back of your mind. Savory and Sweet...it just radiates off him with the slightest push

“-hurt you. NOT here to hurt you,” he says while trying to raise his palms in front of him in a differing and non hostile manner, but failing due to the tangle.

How is everyone enjoying the draw aspects of tonight's quest. I am mostly looking up reference images and adapting them by sight for my use.

Something smells good.. shit that means he feels bad about this. We have the most twisted emotion detection ever, btw.

Don't draw the knife.

Sigh in frustration.

You find the ground with your knees, to the momentary squirming and discomfort of the strange teleport capable flight ready elf boy beneath you, lean back, and cross your arms. Yes, this is your serious business face. Checking your wrist you see that it's only 7:15 and class proper does not start until 9am, the school front gate closes at 8:40. That is, if you're even going to school today. From your earlier train of thought, you know it's about a little after 5pm in the UK, so you still have time to get in touch with...her...before she goes to sleep. Taking a calming breath you look down at the tastily frightened boy beneath you.

~Alright, I'm not sure what your deal is, and I'm sure your disappointed to hear that. If you want to explain it, What the hell you are and what you want, WHO the hell you are; are you sure here-~ you make a sweeping gesture to the empty park you are fallen at the edge of, just a few feet away from the end of visual cover provided by the strangely calming and serene tall flower bedded hedges, ~-and now, looking like...yourself?...is the best time and place for it?~

His words are measured, his shocked passed as his composure returns no...NO, how can that much emotion just evaporate...FRIGHTEN HIM DAMNIT, MAKE HIM MAD, HE SMELLED SOOOOOOOOO...decadent with an eerie speed given that he looked close to tears a second ago.

“Here is safe enough, it is one of my places of invested power. While I am here and I so will it, our meeting will go unnoticed.” Freeing his hands from...places they had been...he carefully extricates himself from your pin...prompting a momentary blush from both of you every emotion he feels is so intense...even the ones that aren't based in negativity are enticing

>>30702052

~Then out with it~ your own measured voice has an edge to it. This really wasn't a good day to get on your bad side.

“My name is Estra,” he begins, finally placing his hands in the placating gesture he had been trying for earlier, “I have spent the last earth year & 1 season living on this world under the assumed identity of my own design, Gai Ginga,”

You nod. You force the voice of your...well it isn't quite blood lust...to quiet itself as you focu-

<Oh my goodness, Princess,> Zoicite's voice sings in the front of your mind, <He is gorgeous, if I were alive...>

<Zoicite!> his lover scolds.

“I came to this blue earth to seek...penance and give thanks on behalf of my mother and father,” his eyes take a soft turn, “Many years ago, they came here and sought to take the energy of this world under false pretense to save themselves and the heart of our then near extinct species. It was by the hand of your own mother and father that their attack was thwarted and the true nature of our shared heart revealed.”

<Oh come now, my love> he teases back with a giggle, <I'm dead, not married,>

Right. You decide it's going to be a while before you assume the roll of your frumpy fujoshi again in the near future...you are already imagining how she's react to having an adorable gay couple living in her brain...nope, not thinking about it.

<You are and you are doing so quite loudly> chimes the annoyed Jaedite.

...well...this is embarrassing.

“They spared us that extinction, despite the terrible things my parents had done. Taught them again the power of love, the true power that could save the dying Makaiju, not stolen life force,” he looks away, saddened FEED before smiling, “and brought my mother back from the brink of death that they could start anew and rekindle our people under the truth of love and not the misguided search for power,”

He seems suddenly serene. His aura drenched in calm, the same calming feeling you come to this park for, the same calming feeling you have in your mother's garden.

~Why do you think my parents were the one's who saved yours?~

“Chiba-san. Are they not Mamoru Chiba and Usagi Tsukino?” his eyes are pleasant and questioning, “I assumed my veiled attempts at communicating my desire to meet with you to your sister found their way to you last night, and you had come to the garden to catch me on my morning rounds,”

~My sister?~

“Yes, I met her when bringing her your homework assignments yesterday afternoon” he looks to the side, “I played some music for her and her friends on the roof of the middle school as thanks for helping me get you your work, I did nothing with ill intent or against any of the social conventions I've learned here. Believe me, I know the defensive trials of being an older sibling. There are 56 children after me by blood and another 300 born from the new Makaiju,”

Crap...your homework. You didn't do the take home work last night...did he say 56 siblings?

~So...~ with a sigh you rise and dust yourself off, discovering that your skirt had been flipped and bunched up in the back during the entire course of the conversation, ~Well then, it seems like we got off to a bad start. I'm Mikage Chiba, it's very nice to meet you Estra. Maybe we can talk some time~

You offer him a hand up, which he readily takes.

“We're talking now,” his smile falters just a little bit ask him, what's the harm “Sorry about before. I was so certain that you and your sister were every bit as cunning as my mother and father's stories made your mother out to be...actually,” he pauses, “I don't suppose you could arrange the chance for me to meet with them. I almost went straight to your house the first night I was earth-side...but I was too nervous,”

He chuckles uncomfortably stop jumping between extremes damnit!

>>30703094
>I almost went straight to your house the first night I was earth-side...but I was too nervous,”
I imagine her response would have been to pull you inside and invite you to dinner with a big hug right away.

She's more of about feeling than thinking.. I guess it worked well.. for her anyway.

This seems entirely likely. Of course, we could invite him over, but there is only one possible assumption that absolutely everyone will make if we do that.

It finally catches up to you, and you can't help yourself. Laughter peels from you like thunder.

~Mom, cunning?!~ you wipe a tear from your eye ~Oh...oh I needed that~

Estra looks at you quizically as you walk off your earlier fall and take a seat on one of the park benches.

~You know, if you had come that first night,~ you smile fondly ~she would have dragged you into the house, given you a hug, and offered you dinner~

Pausing, you lay your index finger on your lip and focus for a moment in fake deep thought, purely for effect.

~actually, she'd probably still do that~ your smile can't get any wider, ~She feels things out better than thiking things out most of the time,~

His shoulders slump as he approaches the bench, gloom collects about him land pours down. DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

“And to think I wasted time being shy and nervous,” he sighs taking a seat next to you before relaxing, “You love her greatly, just talking about her makes that filial sunburst inside your heart nova. It's warming,”

~Oh, I love her, but she can be a real ditz sometimes. You should come over an meet her. Actually, my Auntie Rei told me...~

You regale Estra with tales of your mother's young tomfoolery and how it continues to be a pressure on your everyday life. Before you know it, it's 8am and your time to make a decision is fast approaching. You idly realize you really should shoot...her...a message or give her a phone call soon, and you do have a few messages you need to check on your phone.

This is going to have consequences. Delicious, hilarious consequences.

Are we ready to hear *HER* voice? Are we ready to talk to *HER*? Could we live with ourselves if we send her a text and she doesn't read it before bed? Probably none of these things, but let's try anyway.

Well, time to mosey. You rise, stretch, collect your bag, and begin walking toward the exit of the park.

~Do you mind if I make a call while we head to school. It's a time sensitive family thing,~ you explain.

“I don't mind at all,” he nods, his human disguise reasserting itself around him in a swirl of sakura petals. Placing his hands in his pockets he strolls out of the park beside you, falling into a matching gait.

You pull out your cell phone and see your messages. Mostly its Usa and Diana gushing about the kitten photo and asking for more. And there are a few assorted lurk notices.

There were plans for a meet of the Fashion Circle your alternate persona, Miki, at a cyber cafe in Harajuku on Saturday. Discussions of a Yamamba scene event happening Sunday night. There's an interesting public mention from @ivandragowasright.

@RedEyedBeast I will be in Tokyo soon for boxing tourney, we should hang out. I've never been to Japan before; and if you are the real Red Eyes, perhaps event have a friendly fight to test your legend.

...wonderful, something to worry about later.

Wasting no more time, you pull up her contact details and call. It picks up after the third ring. The sound of a pop remix being rapidly turned down sounds in the background.

“A text from you AND a phone call?” you can hear her lips curling into a smile from here...making your skin crawl, skin crawl, skin cra- NO. This is important, “oh, enough of the surprise. Does this mean we're on talking terms again, because if so I have sooooooo many questions!”

~Usa,~ there it is again, that edge. You aren't calling to yell at her...you're calling because...

>Tell her what's up vaguely.
>Tell her what's up specifically, mention worry about your shared dream-scape and that you used to get her dreams as a kid...still do sometimes.

"We're not exactly on talking terms again, but I have something important you need to know." Then

>>Tell her what's up specifically, mention worry about your shared dream-scape and that you used to get her dreams as a kid...still do sometimes.
This is too important to fuck up. Something spiked your dream, and it's probably after her too. That's what she needs to know. We can get mad after that, if she keeps rubbing us the wrong way. Maybe some gossip if she doesn't,, but *SHE* definitely doesn't need to know about Eclipse yet. Or the Shitennou. Or our vampirism.

You grimace. You thought yourself braced for this...but actually hearing her voice...so close to your own...unnerves you.

~We're not exactly on talking terms again, but I have something important you need to know,~ you collect your thoughts.

“What?! No, tell me Chibi Diana is okay!? Were there complications! Come on, don't leave me hanging...that's my little sister there!” You hear Diana's voice ring out...in her human form...she's on speaker?

~Get off of speaker phone~ there is a soft tone on the other end.

“Okay, no need to be grumpy. What happened Mikage, you never want to talk to me...what's wrong,” there it is. That sincerity...that familiar concern.

Time to see if you can hit it with a sledge hammer.

~Last night, I was attacked in my dream by myself...well, more like my fears and negative emotions given shape. Some kind of shadow cloud thing through me to draw it out. And it wasn't just me. I know at least one other person in town who got hit the same way...except I beat my shadow; whereas they-~

You launch into an explanation about the roiling dark beneath your friend, how you were able to use a bit of your remaining magic to purify her and remove the taint from her systems. How you are worried she may be targetted in her dreams when she goes to sleep.

“You don't have to worry about me, Nee-chan,” there it is, that familiar sincerity, tinted with a hint of pride “I actually have a pretty defensible dream-scape. For you see-”

~I know about Helios~

“Wha?”

~I've been having the dreams he sent you since I was a little kid. I didn't know until...point is I thought they were mine for a while until I found out you were an older time traveling me...if this attacked me then there is a back door to you~

“Wait...is that why you started covering your walls in char-” she pauses you can practically feel the gears grinding and spinning in her head, powered by a three legged hamster in a rusted wheel...okay she isn't dense...but you'd like to believe she is, “Then that means you saw me an-”

~Yes, lets just leave it at yes and never EVER talk about it again,~ your voice goes icy...even years later the hurt and betrayal feel fresh in your mind...though muted from your earlier acceptance.

“Okay...I...I am so sorry. If we had known-”

~never, ever~

“Right...” she sounds sad, and maybe even a bit mad, “I'll prep myself for tonight and make certain that I can get to Helios's kingdom,”

~Can you stay up late?~

“Yeah...I don't have class until tomorrow afternoon,” she sounds serious now, “I'll take Diana up on her nightly demands that we go clubbing to make sure I'm still awake,”

“YAAAAAAY! GIRLS NIGHT OUT!” you hear in the background.

~I'll call you when I get free,~

“Mikage-chan,” her voice sounds...heavy.

~What~ you neutrally drawl.

“Thank you for the heads up...and,” she's totally biting her lip here, you would be too, “and I'm sorry,”

Your thumb slams onto the call end icon faster than you can formulate any kind of cogent response. Jeeze, Estra...or you guess Gai right now, is just bleeding discomfort. It makes the gnawing hunger in the back of your mind twitch with want and excitement. Why? What draws your new...proclivities...toward this handsome if emotionally volatile boy.

~So, how come I don't need to look at you to feel your nervous energy from here?~

“Well, its part chemical and part magical. Our kind are prone to experience our emotions with greater severity and outward...projection...it is sort of the reverse of psychic empathy. My parents always taught me to embrace my feelings, let them guide me, and not keep them bottled away like they did when they were young. Normally I try to keep myself reserved in this guise...but I'm having a bit of trouble falling back into my usual character after before...it isn't often I can comfortably, how would you humans say it, be myself since coming to the city,”

~Huh, the stories I could tell about not breaking character~ you whisper.

“Sorry, what?”

~Nothing. So, can I copy your homework before homeroom?”

He hesitates, and with a sigh pulls out a folder, handing it to you just as you turn the corner to face the school.

“Just try to make it not identical to mine, I had some trouble with the history assignment,”

~Don't worry, it's my best subject~ you brag, patting the folder against your chest.

Wait, there is something strange going on at the schools. Down the road on your left is Juuban Central District Junior High School, on the right is Juuban Central District High School. Normally the road between them is a pedestrian only way; with the exception of delivery and other commercial or permitted vehicles.

Right now, parked in the middle of the street between the two buildings is a fancy limousine. Principal Sakurada seems to be speaking rather tersley with an outrageously dressed gentleman with- Oh. You know this guy, met him last night when he came over to Aiha's with Pizza. Sugao Saitou, Venus's manager. What could he be here for anyway.

“Woah, a limo,” he smiles behind you, “That is certainly a rare sight,”

Sparing him a glance, you can't help but find his sense of wonder momentarily endearing.

maybe more than that...you know if you asked him he would probably jump at the chance to do any small favor favor you asked of him

<Quiet, you> you direct at your super natural hunger, <I'm not just going to drain him every time he has an outburst,>

Oh, I wasn't talking about just -

<Enough,> you command and your mind is silent. The watchful presence of the Shintennou weighs on your senses and hold the echoes of your shadow at bay...you don't have time for that right now...maybe later, if he doesn't turn out to be completely useless.

~If you want I can give you some tutoring tonight after you meet with my parents,~

“Oh?”

~You said history was giving you trouble,~

“That's very kind of you. Here I find myself increasingly indebted to the Chiba Family,”

Your approach is noticed by Saito-san and Sakurada-Sensei. They both turn to you as you pass with a short morning greeting.

~Good Morning Saito-san, Sakurada-Sensei~ you pour as much stern calm into your words as you can manage.

“Ah, just the young lady I wanted to see,” Saito flourishes a number of laminated paper slips in his hand.

“Likewise, and as the administrator of her school, I have dibs, Sugie,” Principal Sakurada groans through gritted teeth.

“Please, Haruna-Chan. Consider this small exchange but a token favor to an old friend,”

“Yeah old.” she grumbles before ignoring the man to face you, stopping your passing with a raised hand, “Chiba-san. In light of yesterday and my own thoughts on the subject...you've given me the year I asked for, so if you still want it I am willing to approve your withdraw from our regular curriculum for an independent study course of whatever speed and difficulty you would like to set for yourself,”

Well damn. Maybe we have been skipping too often.

>>30706706
So many major decisions in the past 24 hours.
Mikage must feel PEACHY.

>>30706730
Got the impression that we don't do it too much, preh-
Wait.
*suspicious eye narrowing*
What excuse did our sister give for leaving school yesterday?

So we really are going to completely blow off school for superheroing. Awesome.

Probably cited an emergency with us, that would explain it.

>>30706757
We're going to have to be/become really good with our school work to rush through a reasonable amount and gain extra time.

>>30706758
On the other hand, we're just coming out of our shell.. PLUS a lot of stuff will likely end up effecting fellow students. Teens are ripe targets for poking unstable emotions.
..And that would leave Kairi alone again.
..not to mention stuff we only know from interludes.

On the other hand, that is a lot of time to work of the things the Scouts can't or won't do while they are tied up a school.

>>30706809
>independent study course of whatever speed and difficulty you would like to set for yourself,”

other than that I think it was already established that we have pretty good grades. this isn't a choice between grades it's a choice about where we will be spending time

I think that if we really want to help the sailors and save others from the pain we've felt we should do it. Like you said it's a lot of time we could spend doing things Sailors can't/won't do

>>30706809
We have plenty of time for the cape & cowl stuff after hours.

I'd like to at least attempt being a normal person rather than going all dark knight all the time.

So, if I draw again, it will only be for interludes.

This was a bit too time consuming.

Good night and thank you for playing.

>>30706855
There's a reason most draw threads use a simple style. It takes a lot of time to draw. I think that drawing just for the interludes is probably the best choice.

>>30706855
>I'M LATE

Thanks for running Arty.

>>30706855
Cool man, thanks for runnin'.

>Guilt and Ruin, an ember of darkness.
There's a name for a thing if ever there was.

>>30706855
>I have failed this child
I feel like failing something right now.

Also, a note.

Most Humans on Earth are running on E6 d20 rules. Which means once they hit lvl six, any time they would normally progress a level they instead gain an extra feat.

Many non humans are not so rigidly bound. And while it is possible for someone to break that lvl barrier, it is extremely rare outside of the super natural.

Scouts are not bound by the lvl barrier.

>>30706850
>>30706852
Alright, maybe we can split the difference, see if we can work out a independent study course while taking some courses at school (and more importantly being able to take lunch at school, the all important social hub of the day).

>>30706855
UFO Catchers are useless or Tech Rehearsals are so boooooooooooring

>>30706920
And that's how the adult scouts manage to have more than one discipline, businesses, and other interests that would consume a regular person's allotment of skills while still learning and fighting evil.
Cool.

>>30706948
Also means we probably are a great student by regular standards, considering the points she had in history and literature.
So less worried about keeping the grades up at least, just leaves social concerns.. not that we couldn't manage to sneak in if we had to.

>>30706920
So that's what E6 is, I see the name brought up sometimes as an alternating to d20, and just been assuming it was a D6 system of some sort.

>>30706979
We still have those social network accounts that we've been building. So even if we decided to completely dump school which there's no way we will. We still have access to information from other people.

Also I can't wait for the boxer thread.

>>30706948

The adult scouts are all High Level Tier 8 characters. When she isn't running her Cram School, Ami is a physicist. She wrote a book providing a competing theory of the potential science of magic structuring the competing views of herself, Stephen Hawking, Umino Osaka, and others.

She's also doing work on String Theory theoretical proofs.

>>30706987
E6 is a version of D&D where your leveling caps at lvl 6, and every time you would gain a level normally after that, you instead gain an extra feat. Some requirement rules are changed, but the point is to capture the sweet spot of d20 before it gets bogged down in too many high level abilities and Wizadly destruction.

>>30707002

That Mikage is a lvl 4 character is actually very impressive.

>>30707002
>>30707007
Indeed.

>>30706928
Could say our parents insisting on us taking lunch at school, maybe a study hall too, to encourage us not to be a complete shut in.
Explain being less shut-in by reduction of anxiety from less being at school in general.

>>30706990
I cannot wait Either

This vote lasts until this baby falls off board, so remember to manually update the archive.

>>30706855
>>Aurora Borealis
I have a feeling about this one.

>>30710697
And by voting without reading the other votes, I have isolated myself and nullified my chances of affecting anything.

I regret nothing.

>>30710733
It's alright, we all just voted for what we liked.
There is much to like today.

You mean teen drama-vampire fiction?

Tie is running

Between

Guilt

&

Failure

>>30713936
Let's go with guilt.

>>30714218
That was my vote, but if he feels like breaking out a two-fer for the interludes, I won't complain.

>>30713936
Its a tough call. Usa is the more important character, but we're dealing with a big decision with Sakurada right now.

Either would probably be ok.

So if I wanted to start my interlude writing doodling tonight, it looks like Guilt has taken the lead.

>>30719226
Looks that way. Hey, did you have any art for this thread that you had to toss?

>>30720136

Yes. Though there is still a chance it will see later use. Two Panels. One leads into the other, or both could be used independently.

Any comments on the drawings?

I know the final one was really under whelming. Though I'm surprised no comments were made on the laminated slips in Saito's hand.

>>30720192
Well they're like Venus concert tickets right? At least that's what I assumed.

The art was fun, there were a couple of rough ones, but it was most of them were pretty cool.

>>30719226
I would vote for it myself if I hadn't voted for something else already.

>>30720568
Even rough was still cool.

I too assumed some kind of ticket.
