As much as I'd love to hide, we still may still have stuff to deal with above.

>Try to escape through the flow

>>35207636
Calmly exit the pool.

>>35207636
>>Try to escape through the flow
We have so many fun things to do.

>>35207749
We'd still be able to do that, as we are disguised as Eclipse at the moment

>>35207636
>a pair of white clad hands
Probably Scout hands.
Instinct is to slip deeper and hide/observe for the moment.
Maybe slip away after a bit.

>>35207768
Are we? I thought we were in our new Regalia mode?

>>35207787
We were in Eclipse garb before we lost track of time for a bit.
Though we out-of-characterly suspect another outfit might be in play, this hasn't been indicated yet.

>>35207636
>You feel it, you feel the cosmos as you pulls on it with your skill with magical energy. You mold it, purpose it to your will, and it fills you with radiance, breaking down the buildup of darkness you’ve been hoarding.
>>10 pts reduced from the totally unimportant tracking number.
That is no the most confirming thing we've seen that the build-up of darkness in our system is not healthy.
Earth energy and magic is healthy for us and it cleans it out.

>>35207762
That could be cool, though I'd like to hide at first just to get our bearings.

>>35207840

Looks like you want to try and slip away with the flow.

Give me an Athletics Test and a Stealth Test
dice+2d20

first modifier +3
second modifier +9

Best of 3, 1s and 20s wild

>>35207762
Aw, wanted to do this but too klate

Rolled 10, 2 = 12 (2d20)

>>35207907

Rolled 15, 7 = 22 (2d20)

>>35207907

Rolled 4, 15 = 19 (2d20)

>>35207907

Rolled 8 + 5 (1d20 + 5)

>>35207907

Athletics test was DC 15
Stealth DC is the above

Writing

>>35207964
so Athletics is passed with >>35207949+3, while Stealth is passed with >>35207961+ 9. Or do both test rolls have to come from the same person?

Rolled 10, 13 = 23 (2d20)

>>35207907

>>35207998
Best of either roll of 3.

>>35208022
Ok, so we're good on both.

Giving yourself over to the flow of the water, you turn into the depths and follow it. Beneath the radiance you are relatively certain that you whoever plunged their hands into the water lost sight of you.

As you move through the water, you realize that ahead it is cloudy and murky. The unhewn dirt walls of the stream gives way to the hewn and professionally cut and lain pathways of the Tokyo Sewer system. Somehow the darker water, rife with filth, stays just ahead of you until you’ve followed the water far away, far enough to break the surface and take in a deep lungful of air.

Above you are sirens and the darkness of the sewer tunnels. Your pink hair hangs stringy and wet in front of your face. Climbing out of the water and into the tunnel the water goes dark just after you finish pulling yourself free. Something is wrong. The clothes on your back aren’t wet, and they aren’t the Regalia of Eclipse.

It is white and decorative. Tassled pauldrons of cloth rest on your shoulder. Silver and gold inlays run throughout the fabric, and a great caped mantle hangs from your back. It looks wonderful as you notice the white domino mask set upon your nose.

Your phone vibrates against your breast, somehow unaffected by the water.

You know, I would be alright if we went down that route. that would be a fun shake up for the 40k lore: The God-Emperor was a woman the whole time, everyone just forgot.

40k is too far down the grimderp road for any Sailor Moon story that intends to keep the faith.

And there's better mahou shoujos for that sort of fusion dance anyway.

Being and Emperor would be such a downer, and it's too much work.

I'd rather we were a dentist. Wasn't Usagi a doctor or something in this story anyways?

>>35208749
I'm pretty sure one of the longest running quests on the board kinda already has a monopoly on 40k+Magical Girl.

>>35208749
I will agree, some people *cought* Games Workshop *cough* forget that 40k is meant to be more than a little bit a parody, and is not taking itself seriously. However, the themes are an interesting contrast: Love, Justice and optimism vs. Hate, War, and Cynicism. But yeah, I get that it's not happening.
>>35208786
True.
>>35208799
There's a 40k Magical girl quest? What is it's name? please tell me so that I may archive dive.

>>35208860
It's basically the only reason I haven't been following Decu's quest long time now. I loves me some meguccas, but I just can't into 40k. Plus there's like 40k episodes now.

I still kick over there occasionally if I see it doing something cool, though. Magical Girl Noir Quest, I believe it was.

You continue on for a bit until you find a ladder, climbing it swiftly and prying the manhole loose, you find yourself on a deserted pedestrian street in North Juuban. Familiar territory. Pulling your cell phone free, you see that its from Kairi. You answer it as you make you way, a bit light headed, toward a nearby alley.

~Hello,~ your voice is hoarse and despite the energies you brim with, you feel very tired.

“Mikage, what the hell happened?” Kairi’s voice whispers into your ear as you slump against a wall.

~Tapped into,~ you take a sharp breath as the white cape pools at your feet the deeper you sink against the wall, ~into the node. Its mine now...purified some of the bad vibes I’ve been shouldering,~

“Are you okay?” she asks, “Where are you?”

~Not sure...north end of Juuban,~ you try to think of nearby landmarks, ~Going to try to get to a landmark. What happened back at Zodiac?~

“Everything. Pit is locking things down. Everyone woke up before we got out of the sewers, your sister and the girls wound up fighting some monsters topside,”

~The school staff?~

“Yup,”

Taking a moment to think, you know you’re probably near the MgRonalds. You could try to get to the Crown Arcade, but its further to the south of where you are and Kairi is probably still nearby. There’s also the north side shopping district, plenty of landmarks there.

~Okay Kairi...I’m going to go to…~

Head home, mess with lil' sis.
Clean up, change into something comfy.
Chat with mom and feelings and shit. Pretend being regal will get us through it up until the points that we're rocking against her and crying.

Oh yeah. We totally flaked on the fashion club.

What time is it, anyway?

>>35209302
That isn't a target. That's much better as a thing where we can fall asleep in her arms after letting that out. It's still early yet.

Waaaait a minute, didn't we promise her a drain? And didn't she need to shower before we'd do so.

Writing

Home makes it.

>>35209311

Was... this actually set in 40k? I've only read like 2-3 threads and I thought it was essentially Madoka but darker.

>>35209346
It gets there, keep reading.

Just...it takes a while.

>>35209346
that is my initial impression as well...

>>35209332
I'd be surprised if it really kept going, at least Aki's circle is going to be busy re-meeting each other.

>>35209341
oh hell I forgot about that... well votes over she'll have to wait till tomorrow apparently.

>>35209377
Or she can come over tonight and we can take care of it.

>>35209394
Yeah that might be better. If I wasn't wiped I'd have remembered. ARTIMIES! CAN WE ADD THIS AS AN OPTION!?

>>35209343
Could we do a Destination on that?
Call me suspicious.

>>35209416
I can promise you I'll at least vote differently. I forgot about her depression.

>>35209394
>>35209409
That seems a shaky thing to make a regular treatment.

>>35209394
>>35209409
Heck, I forgot about it, and I make post-its of everything we claim to do in the future. Stop over on the way home sound good?

nah, home won.

>>35209409
I was going to have her meet up with you there.

>>35209364
That face when I've been reading it from the very beginning.

Also: Can we have that as an option for Kairi to meet us at our place?

>>35209456
Won with a bunch of uncommented quotes in rapid succession. That's unusual for us.

>>35209452
It's something we can do that she's comfortable with... pretty sure her sheet said she's boned on the medical side of things.

WE're aware that too many peaches are a bad thing.

I always was I just was hoping Artimies wouldn't mention it.

However her level of issues is not crippling.

>>35209474
ah cool thanks dude.

>>35209416
My vote didn't win either, but I see no reason to be suspicious here.

>>35209509
Well, when one side has a lot of discussion and the other is just quotes.. it doesn't fit.

>>35209534
If it becomes a pattern, then well start investigating. for now, let's just call it an isolated incident and move on with the story.

EXAMINE PHONE.
Come on. Something has to be different now, right?

~I’m going to try and make it home,~ you grouse as you press off against the wall and rise.

“Okay,” she says, “I’ll try to meet you there,”

~No, its~

“I’m coming,” she asserts.

~Okay,~ you relent as you trudge into the night, ~What happened to the girls?~

“Your sister and her friends split,” Kairi explains with a huff, is she running? “The girls from under the school met back up with their friends who were brought with by Pit medical services from the last sight. Nice big reunion cry. It was magical,”

~Good,~ you smile and step into the open street.

How late is it now? You aren’t sure. There aren’t many people out this late. In three blocks you see maybe two people who look at you strangely. For some reason you can’t dismiss the Regal Regalia you find yourself clad in. You keep Kairi on your sparkly pink cased phone as you walk.

With that discovery, might we divert to Kairi's after we slip from view?

>>35209694
Is it wrong that I wanted this to happen?

>>35209694

But seriously, showing up all Regalized seems like the one thing we were avoiding bringing around the house.

With as tired as Mikage is I'm pretty sure that hug is the last conscious thing we'll do. Proceeding to pass out on top of her.

>>35209734
We'll be Miki again. Even if we lose this opportunity to troll our little sister and her friends, there will be others.

I accept this alternate plan. Let's go for it.
>>35209788

>>35209821
HAHAHA YES! CHAOS IS THE ONLY TRUE ANSWER!

Worst case scenario the mom thing can be handled in the morning... and or we pass out holding Usagi.

>>35209838
Still waiting for Sasha.

>>35209821
Dunno about that disguise pen. If we can't dismiss our regalia normally, we might need more powerful magic that the pen contains.

Did we ever get it back from Kairi?

>>35209849
Ehh he's all right. I'd like to see more character out of him than, "I AM TINY RUSSIAN BOXER! COME VE WILL FIGHT BEAR!"

>>35209857

>>35209888
I didn't say it wasn't. Though Usagi is lookin' mighty fine for a mommy.

>>35209870
Honestly there was more character out of him than "I AM TINY RUSSIAN BOXER". Like there was a whole sequence with us discussing that. Such as that he's an orphan. There was also more opportunity for some interlude stuff about him but we passed it up for Hiddenite stuff.

>>35209914
Then I need to re-read. Mainly I just don't like the tiny part. Granted Mikage is apparently starved for options.

>>35209870
I saw a lot more character out of him than that.
Between Lurk, interludes, our time as the bear, and his scene with the Beast.. I rather like the guy.

>>35209937
Dude, the tiny part is like one of the best parts. Also because I kinda don't want this to get /u/boated.

>>35209908
>looking fine for mommy
potential Shadowruns time: Think she remembers THAT part of the Q&A?

>>35209914
I find it amusing how we were so indecisive about whether we were even interested in boys, and then he showed up and we just clamped onto him like a barnacle.

Now we just need to run into him with our other personas, so he can be all troubled and conflicted about which of our incredibly cute and alluring selves he's actually interested in.

Maybe not Dan.

>>35209967
Reading his quest adds another viewpoint on him as well.

>>35209978
Of course. It was right around when I was screaming about her being a terrible parent.

>>35209981
Dan already met Sasha. First one of us he met in real life actually.

>>35209981
I kinda want to run into him as the main personality sooner rather than later so we can get the whole "Sorry for not being completely honest with you from the get go." thing out of the way because that was one of the things he disliked was dishonesty.

>>35210010
I know. I was there. But it's not like we hit on him as Dan.

>>35210010
That is such a great basis for a relationship right there.

Also after seeing older sister I'm reasonably sure Mikage goes both ways. Granted we haven't exactly had any suitors other than the midget.

>>35210035
Starting*

Ah I remember the first time we met! Oh yeah at the McRonalds! uuuh... suuuure~
Totally not the time I was in drag.

>>35210007
if Usagi declares war on the fourth wall, I'm tripping you first.
>>35210027
>>35210035
Interesting how you both think all interactions with him should be flirting/starting a relation ship. says alot about your personal priorities.
>>35210021
agreed, but Family first, after all.

>>35209981
Well see, he could just turn out to be a really good friend. I was, and still mostly am, one of those that has said Mikage is likely leaning away from a love life.. but the interactions with him so far have felt really.. natural.
I mean, Gai is calm and zen and delicious and all.. but is that what any part of Mikage wants? (The part that wants to eat him up aside.)
Well, we haven't met the poet yet.

>>35210035
Please see my thing about not wanting this quest to get /u/boated...LIKE EVERY OTHER QUEST WITH A FEMALE PROTAGONIST ON THE BOARD THAT I'VE READ.

>>35210035
I'm sure we've had plenty of opportunities. Just he was the one who woke the dragon.

And if we meet a girl who is tiny enough and tsuntsun enough to trip our switch, she'll probably turn out to be Mikage's daughter.

>>35210021
I think he might appreciate the 'secret identity' concept with his interest in magical girls, even if we put a plural on there.

>>35210072

Didn't say I wanted the U/boat/ Just don't like one option on the field.

>>35210067
I was trying to make a joke but fucked it up due to being tired and misposting see >>35210053

>>35210072
I'm not terribly fond of the guy, but that's mostly the fact that I hate that he's been latched onto as husbando #1. It's as bad as /u/boating in my opinion.

>>35210092
Hmmm. Good way to spin it. Though I think the most amusing thing would be to run into him right now. (Arty that's totally your cue)

>>35210117
You've said it better than I have.

>>35210085
FROM THE FUTURE WHAT A TWEEST!

>>35210133
Nah. We've got some heavy shit coming with our knight and mom. I'd rather not see the lil'ist Russian at the moment.

>>35210117
Not sure he's that latched on to.
Red Eyes may have stirred the pot a bit, but there have been others she's thought about.

>1 degree of Success

~I kept my promise to them, Kairi,~ you smile as you lean against a wall fence, ~I couldn’t before...I’m so sorry I couldn’t keep my promise to you,~

“Mikage…”

~I did it this time. I saved them like I saved you,~ you feel so tired, but you persevere and power forward into the night.

“We can talk about it at the house,” she’s stopped running, is she okay?

~Kairi-chan, are you okay?~ you ask the silence on the other end of your phone, ~I’m sorry...I didn’t mean to bring that up,~

“No...its,” her voice has this strange echo all of the sudden, “Turn around,”

You do so, as Kairi leaps down to street level still clad as your Knight. She approaches you and supports you over her shoulder.

“Come on, lets get you home,” she smiles and you continue your trek, “What’s with the outfit?”

Without knowing the answer, you remain quiet.

…she almost died.

~You almost died,~

>>35210163
It's like you hate tiny russian fun or something.

>>35210067
Just because I want one thing doesn't make it the only thing I want. I wouldn't be questing if my interests were that narrow.

Or hell, I'd be following one of those godawful Anon-kun quests where it's the only damn thing that happens.

>>35210105
ok, if it's just a joke, I'm cool with that. I get cracking jokes about implausible yet hilarious situations with strong sexual undertones.
>>35210117
myself, I'm not entirely sure Mikage is ready for a relationship right now.

>>35210183

She continues to take you home, not responding to your worried query about her own mortality.

~I couldn’t let you die,~

Silence.

~I’m not going to let you die...that plan was stupid and way too dangerous,~ you murmur as you begin to catch your second wind.

“Come on, Mikage-chan,” she smile, “We’re almost there,”

~Why aren’t you upset?~ you demand of her, your own fears welling up inside of you.

“Why would I be upset? I chose this,” she smiles at you from behind her red mask, "And besides, if its for...nevermind,"

The two of you are alone in the street as she dismisses her disguise. Reaching over, she removes your white mask, causing your clothes to dismiss back into Miki’s outfit and makeup.

“We’re here,” she walks with you to the steps and removes your arm from over her shoulder, “Do you think your mom will mind if I grab a shower?”

~No, it should be fine,~ you unlock the door and walk straight into the living room.

True to the expectations of your life, your mother is sitting on the couch, having a cup of tea with Luna in her human form. Big Diana is on the stand alone recliner and pointing an old laser pointer at the far wall beneath the TV, where Little Diana seems intent upon catching the red dot.

Luna notices your return and doesn’t react too much.

Your mother turns and...just kind of stares at you confused for a second before her eyes widen.

Hi Mom... Is Koyomi home? Got a few things to talk with you about.

>>35210207

QUICK SOMEONE ROLL A ONE SO WE AN'T GOTTA EXPLAIN SHIT

>>35210207
"Hi Mom. Ever get stuck? I think I'm stuck."

>>35210207
"Hey Mom, I love you too."

>>35210207
>>35210228
All kidding aside seconding.

>>35210186
Ok, but you do need to tell us what you'd be willing go go for. We're not psychic, unlike our characters.
>>35210236
Changing my vote to this.

>>35210207
Its....a long story. Coping mechanism turned information gathering.

>>35210254
and since >>35210253 agrees, changing my vote back to >>35210228.

not exactly set in.

MGNQ steals whatever it feels like. You'll find references to other stuff all over the place. 40k, planescape torment, no more heroes..., various anime, including fate.

and that's just the ones I've noticed. I'm quite sure there are other references that have passed me by. What's fun about it is that it literally doesn't matter if there are references you don't get. The familiar elements are enough for you catch hold and enjoy the wild ride

>>35210250
Can we drag this statement in as well? It's actually kind of cute.

>>35210316
I'm pretty sure I heard it starts to reference other quests HQR in particular from what I remember.

>>35210317
yeah, I'm ok with including that with >>35210228
as something like 'also, I love you too.'

"Hey Mom. Fashion circle, nothing strange. Is Koyomi home, wanted to tell her she did totally awesome today."

Segue at some point that you'd like to talk with Usagi after getting cleaned up and changed.

>>35210283
Derp. Okay, I got nothing.

My focus usually doesn't get so far shot to hell so early in the evening.

This lead with this:

>>35210398
We've crossed into the AM where I'm at. Coke is keeping me running.

The sad part is that our sharing will likely leave her with some internal sadness and regret for the enemy to exploit later.

I like to think that quest is a parallel version.

Because I'm pretty sure that version's sisters brain is in Boris and that version's mother is Meguca Kharn the Betrayer and not Rena.

>>35210426
We'll just have to offer her a few late night nibbles to clear up any and all ill feelings.

Your first clue wasn't the lack of Jaegers and giant monsters?

>>35210424
Yeah, I'm aware that it's getting fucklate for most of you. But here in GMT-8, the night is still young.

I think it's just because I've been staying up too late recently.

>>35210466
Three people baking cookies? Usagi's going to love that.

>>35210467
That doesn't rule it out as being a possible future.

>>35210497
Hm... cause why be hypercompetitive with Usagi when we can be double hypercompetitive with both Usagi and our time travel clone?

I am ok with this crossover.

>>35210228
>>35210250
+1 to these. good openers.

>>35210533
What's nice is Diana knows. Usagi should have the realization that we trust her more than our own mother. The Feels. Hit her Right in the Feels.

>>35210497
Cookies is legit.

>>35210228
Actually, the one we really need to talk with is Dad.

>>35210588
its on the list.

>>35210498
I like the way you think, anon.

>>35210587
That would be if we were hiding it. It just means we aren't hiding it and they saw it first.

>>35210630
He's pretty far down the list.

If it's about the node, I think we know a fair bit on our own. Arcane Lore and all.

>>35210706
You never know. It might have a DC harder than Bear Lore.

>>35210336
that isn't a reference, that's a crossover.

~Hi mom,~ you smile and slide a piece of pink hair out from under your wig, ~love you too,~

“Mikage!,” your mother stands up suddenly and spills a bit of her tea and closes the distance between you.

“Hi Mrs. Chiba,” Kairi chirps.

Your mother seems to give her a passing nod as her as she circles you and inspects your outfit. Luna sits calmly and sips and Big Diana looks on in curiosity. Little Diana has her paws clasped over where she thinks the red dot has finally rested, and is confused that it is on top of her paws instead of beneath it.

“Is it okay if I use your shower?” she asks again.

“Yeah, sure,” your mother says absentmindedly as she narrows her eyes and expects your eye makeup while Kairi runs upstairs with a curt thank you.

~So, is Koyomi home yet?~ you ask.

“No,” she hums and leans back from her frankly uncomfortable inspection, “She isn’t home yet,”

What is she thinking of you right now. You’re actually feeling a bit self conscious. YOU you, not just as Miki.

“My daughter you are super trendy,” she crosses her arms and nods before resting a finger on her chin, “This is a trendy thing, right. I know I’ve seen this look before,”

...How are you related to this woman. Even Luna is looking at your mother askance.

>>35210953

~Anyway...mother,~ you sigh, ~Could we talk,~

Looking over to the assembled cats in and out of human form.

~Alone,~

“Sure baby,” she smiles warmly.

“Come along, girls,” Luna says while setting down her tea, “Lets get you to bed,”

“But I’m in my late twenties,” Big Diana whines.

“Mew?” queries Little Diana, “Does being cute earn me a later bedtime?”

Luna just stares at the two of them and they seem rather annoyed but accepting of their circumstances.

“Come on kid,” Big Diana says to her time displaced sister self as she morphs into her cat form, “I’m going to show you the best place to sleep. Dad taught me this trick,”

After a moment, you and your mother are alone downstairs.

“So,” she sits down after taking the tea tray back into the kitchen, “What did you want to talk about. Your nice new outfit? Did you decide about Monday? Did you want to-”

~About that night,~ you cut her off.

“Oh,” she says quickly and folds her hands over her lap and regards you with some amount of worry.

~And maybe a few other things,~ you sigh.

“Okay. Are you sure you’re ready?” she asks and sets a hand on your shoulder as you sit next to her.

>Where to begin? That night? The clothes you’re wearing now? Eclipse? Your Nephrite Knight? Etc

>>35210984
ALL OF THE THINGS.

>>35210984
>That Night and why we shut her out.
You all let me go first, the rest of the conversation can be about what ever you all want. That's all I'm asking. That and boob Hug lil sis when she gets home.
>>35211006
That Night first plz.

>>35210984
Start with Tonights silver love light. Then move into that night - Eclipse your knight - Then the clothes they're least important

>>35211006
NOT ALL THE THINGS.

>>35211018
LOVE LIGHT THAT REACHED US TONIGHT AND PREVENTED PANIC ATTACK THEN THAT NIGHT!

>>35211018
That night, then eclipse, then our dearest knight and then the clothes...in that order.

>>35210984
Hm... but if we tell her about all of our disguises, we won't be able to use them to troll people. And let's especially not forget that if Naru finds out about Dan, she will FLAY US ALIVE.

No harm talking about Miki, though. And how we made up with Kairi and knighted her. And come to think of it, didn't we puke up that half of the Golden Crystal when she was around? We should probably explain some of that too.

>>35211049
"i have lost all control of my life. And I nearly just got Kairi killed. Again."

>>35211028
See now you're just being contrary.

>>35210984
We start at the beginning.
Go back to finding out about Usa, and the things we didn't tell Usagi at the time when confronted about our changed of attitude.
Carry the story forward to how we really felt about things at the time, what drove us as Sailor Moon, how Hotaru's stand-offish stance made us feel.. and how it all came crashing to a crescendo That Night.

>>35210984
>>35211065
This should probably be in there somewhere.

>>35211065
Life is ephemeral. Control is an illusion. WE ARE CHAFF ON THE WIND

>>35211026
Ah, the solver love light! That should be brought up! and that would be a logical next choice.
mom: why open up like this?
Mikage: well, you actually. I felt your silver love.
then we find out how much of the Q&A Usagi remembers.
>>35211050
Earlier discussion said to keep the disguises off the able for now, but a Miki explanation would be logical.

>>35211070
Sorry had to jump fast, my actual response took longer to type, but there are some things in the recent history we don't want to share all off.
I wish we'd been able to talk with Rin to get a cleared picture of things, but we still have to worry about over exposing how capable we are now, for everyone's protection as the wild card in fate.

>>35211026
>>35211096
I'm pretty sure this is exactly what Arty was afraid of after we got hooked on that particular point. Or maybe I'm just shadowrunning too hard.

>>35211077
Oh goodness, yes. Let's tell her about the dreams. Usa knows. Usagi might as well know.

Let's hope for a peachy reaction.

>>35211096
*silver, table
>>35211122
nah...
>>35211077
>>35211123
this course of action brings up topics I wanted to talk with Usagi about earlier, but initial discussion vetoed it. If it comes to a vote, I will second this.

>>35211120
I wouldn't say that we're a wild card so much as we have a very specific role. This is Stratego, and we are the Spy.

>>35211049
>>35211065
Not the Knights or the Shitennou, or the Earth Heir stuff.
Eclipse is just supporting cast to the scouts is the part we have to hold onto.

>>35211077
This. This is the story she needs to know. To know the foundation of our unhappiness and how it finally collapsed.

>>35211155
I was pretty scare that's the ONLY thing we agreed to tell her before.

>>35211194
She's going to find out about Kairi anyway. If she hasn't heard already, it's just because Naru's been busy. We been keeping Naru busy~

She may as well hear it from us.

>>35211077
I'm all for including this. Full disclosure for Usagi. She will share in our misery.

>>35211216
Part of letting Kairi tell naru was requesting that she not share this with usagi.

>>35211077
>>35211198
>>35211217
SInce this leads up to The Night, I will vote for this on one condition: When we mention Hotaru, we mention 'Love not seen, is love that does not exist'. that's all.

writing

>>35211217
Not full, just that, and the aftermath with our self imposed exile from life the past year and a half.

So you got all those sad bits, while we still maintain operational security on current operations.

>>35211233
I am not entirely convinced that Naru will honor that. Still, I suppose keeping our return to the biz a little quieter will help us carry out le successful troll, so why not?

>>35211247
Hell yes. I've been pushing that forever.

She gives a bullshit cop out line of OOOOH BUT SHE DOES I'm full on storm away crying

>>35211247
>When we mention Hotaru..
Not favoring that so much as just present things as we saw it, avoid getting petty about it, or dragging in what Usa told us in confidence.
Maybe that phrase could come up if Usagi brings up how much Hotaru cared.

>>35211247
I think Hotaru did a farily incredible job of keeping her feelings under wraps.

Mikage missed it because her whole family is a family of major displays of, well, everything.

Usa's known Hotaru for a long time. She's learned how to read her in a way that Mikage never did.

>>35211295
Honestly I see this standpoint as some bullshit, since I'm 100% certain that if we didn't have the mask to hide behind, we'd have been all drill-instructor-y toward the new girls too for fear of falling apart with worry otherwise.

>>35211295
I'm more concerned Usagi's going to take it as us accusing her of begin a bad parent. Which she is not. because we pushed her away. and she still got us the pills.
>>35211307
that is acceptable.
>>35211327
Personally, I agree. However, Mikage does not. And I err on the side of being open about things with parties concerned, so I side with Mikage. I do want Hotaru to make amends though.

>>35211327
Fair point.
Living among people that are open emotions all the time would make interpreting someone on the opposite end of the spectrum harder.

>>35211354
that is also logical. However, I think he's referring to how HE feels as a person, not Mikage's feelings. (wouldn't be the first time people get that mixed up though)

>>35211395
Yeah, my impression of Mikage's feels toward Hotaru within the quest seem to be mostly ice in return, with some heat hiding behind it. Not outrage or vicious anger. Hotaru was the Ice Queen, and that's what we knew her as.

>>35211327
Doesn't excuse Hotaru for being shit.

>>35211360
If she can't handle Mikage venting then she is a bad parent. Don't be overly paranoid about Usagi's feelings at the moment.
>>35211354
So the 15-16 year old wouldn't be a great trainer? Should Hotaru be gauged on that scale?

>>35211438
>Doesn't excuse Hotaru for being shit.
She wasn't actually shit though.
She trained MIkage well and secretly shadowed her on patrol when she insisted on going solo.

Hotaru was just as bad at seeing Mikage's hidden feelings at she was at seeing hers. Not that either of them know that yet.

>>35211438
And there's the blurring of Player and character feelings. Yes, I personally agree that the 'hotaru does care' is not the smart thing to say. However, Mikage's reaction would more... >>35211433 like this.

>>35211467
So... why should things Mikage is unaware of influence her understanding of events?

>>35211480
Because metagaming is how the cool kids avoid acid traps.

>>35211438
>>35211480
It just seems like a lot of your anger toward Hotaru doesn't match-up with the level that Mikage has expressed. You've branded Hotaru the Devil, while she was just a cold taskmaster from Mikage's POV.

>>35211490
>>35211480
the less meta brought in, particularly from you two, the better off I think we'll all be.

>>35211480
>>35211490
You are now reminded that Mikage is at least peripherally aware of Hotaru's hidden feelings through Usa's dream.

>>35211534
of which she's having a hard time wrapping her head around, given she's only seen the Ice Queen Drill Instructor.

>>35211475
The worst event in her life was
>>35211509
Clearly my anger towards her is being mitigated by those who would forgive her in a heartbeat.
>>35211510
Inform me of my meta gaming transgressions. If it's based off of lore of sailor moon. Your SOL because I've seen maybe two episodes of the show about.. 15 years ago.

>>35211534
I'd say Mikage is probably conflicted on that. As I've said before we've seen Hotaru through dreams be sweet to the older sister and regret her treatment of us... but we've not actually had a heart to heart so they could have been face value.

Until we've had an argument/shoutingmatch/conversation with her she's on my shit list.

>>35211568
First half of that got cut off and I think I was going to say.. something along the lines of Facilitated by Hotaru's actions. The woman is involved in that. She doesn't conjure up bright shiny happy thoughts.

>>35211490
>>35211480
More meta from your end of the pool, we've never had this anger toward Hotaru. We're pissed about her being the Ice Queen and perceived her to care less about us than her best friend Usa-not-us. So we weren't thrilled with her, but we've been ok with the idea of talking to her to get access to her school's labs, and didn't have issues with her providing training to the new Scouts. Because she never actually did anything bad towards us.
Love unseen doesn't magically turn into hate from us.

>>35211568
Hm... I can't say she's especially on my shit list, but since she's probably not going to let us sample her peaches, (on second thought, ew... why would we want to do that?) making nice with her isn't really one of my priorities either.

>>35211589
Yep, exactly. Not quite ready to forgive and forget yet. and even if we do, we'll have to admit that we're always going to second best in her eyes, and that's going to sting.

>>35211602
>didn't have issues with her providing training to the new Scouts
actually so far as we know, nobody is training the new scouts. This was brought up in a conversation between Kairi and Mikage a little while ago

>>35211609
I'd not advocate getting involved with her... in any peach related activities.

I'd have further issues getting along with her she's the older sisters big squeeze. We don't have good luck with those.

>>35211589
Her being fooled by our prideful facade doesn't mean we blame her. Mikage has never been portrayed as blaming other people for shit. We dislike her for being a cold as shit toward us, and we aren't forgiving that easily.

>People wanting to bite EVERYTHING after we learn that it's accumulating inside of us.

New rule:

Don't even joke about it because people might take you seriously when it comes time to decide if we eat or purify.

>>35211644
Yet in conversation with Kanari we specifically talked about that Saturn would likely handle than, and maybe we'd drop in and show them a thing or two sometime.

>>35211684
Only actual corruption accumulates inside of you. Non magical emotions don't accumulate.

>>35211684
Eating is the way to go. We've got a dark side to keep happy. But nibbling Hotaru is just... not okay.

Though.. we did take a bite out of Helious... so if someone wants to complete the set...

>>35211684
Shiny red button. Everything is still peaches.

>>35211568
1. we never said she did.
2. you assume that because we don't hate her, we want to forgive her? hardly. we're just not ready to burn her at the stake, only tolerate.
3. you actully put it best your self
>Until we've had an argument/shoutingmatch/conversation with her she's on my shit list.
>MY shit list
You confuse your feelings with Mikage's. You believe Mikage should be angry? well, she's not. this is established. Unless Hotaru does something else bad, its not going to change. I want to keep this respectful, so I'm going to say this once, very politely: please be open to other viewpoints. and categorize personal beliefs as separate from character beliefs. Thank you.

Amusingly, I could see Mikage and Hotaru getting along well enough to make Usa nervous, once all their spaghetti is out on the open between them.
They have more in common.

indeed. They are have severe mental problems and are very 'broken'.

>>35211757
Oh, that's not fair. Mikage has issues. Hotaru has Issues.

List of things the players have forgotten:
-Still shenanigans going on with Pluto
-Other half of the Golden Crystal
-Finding the spots for the other three Shintennou.
-Getting the psychic thug stuff to Hotaru to analyze.
-Getting a motorcycle.

>>35211769
True. Plus, the whole 'Ice Queen' issue.
>>35211781
That's what I mean. mental problems = issues.

>>35211708
I wouldn't be surprised if it came to that rather quickly. We haven't seen her since the fangs came in, and between hearing about us and the things with Usa, meeting her is going to be like when we first saw Kairi. Just completely loaded down with seriously negative emotions. Even moreso if we unload our issues with her at her.
She's liable to literally burst.

>>35211727
Hotaru is on MY shit list. Look at that! I've destroyed the thread. Usagi Isn't on MY shitlist. I like Diana! Goddamn look at that meta gaming.

I can be angry and think Mikage is/should be angry with Hotaru all I like.

This is handled with a voting system... if I vote differently from you it's not the end of the world. Compromises don't always have to be reached. If we're controlling Mikage are we not her feelings?

>>35211792
Non-exclusive list. I've forgotten way more than that in this thread alone.

>>35211796
the capital letter is important.

>>35211792
I like the Motorcycle idea... can we magic it to do things... like fly/hop?

>>35211727
>>35211810
You two need to chill the fuck out. Seriously. This has been going on all goddamn thread.

>>35211769
Yeah, romantically Usa is better for her with the contrast. I just said we'd get along so well that Usa would start to worry about it, but I feel like it's when two friends start swapping war stories of what medications they've been on and dealing with people's responses and other shit that is hard for people that haven't actually had those issues to understand.

>>35211879

It'd still be awkward as hell.

>>35211848
Hm... yes. I think many of us have been a bit on edge tonight, and perhaps we have forgotten that while we may disagree substantially with each other, it is the elves who are the true enemy.

>>35211848
I completely agree. They bicker back and forth like two kids.

>>35211792
we're only human, and easily distracted ones at that.
>>35211816
point made.
>>35211802
that would be the quickest way to finding out how big Hotaru's issues are.
>>35211848
you're right. I'm runnign on nothing but energy drinks and Its showing. Look, Gnashing... I apologize for what I've said before. I just want to have fun with this quest. When I vote, I think 'what would Mikage do?' rather than 'what would I do?'. You've said it yourself, differing opinions are not the end of the world. Can we both calm down, not get upset our ideas get outvoted, and agree to disagree while still having fun here?

Pluto we want to find out more.
Other half we've been pretty much blocked with 'we have no idea and it could be anywhere in the world' so far.
We're only grudgingly handing out our Heavenly Generals. Isn't an in character goal to dole them out.
Apparently we gave some thug loot to PIT during the small time skip, though we did want to take it to Hotaru.
A motorcycle would be totally sweet.

Fun fact: Phantom Motorcycle is a 3rd level Conjuration (Summoning) spell from WotC's Urban Arcana.

Shadow Conjuration, our highest Spell-like Ability, does 3rd level Conjuration (Summoning) spells.

>>35211898
I don't really think so. She's basically running a less advanced mask than we've been.
And as soon as we see her, despite the cool face she'll try to put on, we'll taste her pain swirling in a panic.

>>35211930
I'm not upset at all. You don't need to apologize.I'm... still having fun. You can disagree with me and spew bile and vitriol at me and... Gnash your teeth. *Shiteatinggrin* But I'll keep playing. I think you've got your good points and I've got no issues with you posting/or anything at all.

We can agree to disagree it won't affect my posting at all. I've got no issues with you.

~Its hard to get through this...but I want to start before that night. There are things that happened before...that lended to my inability to deal with what happened,~ you begin as you pull at the hem of your shorts, “It leads into that night, and as to why I’m dressed like this...and so many other things,~

“I’m listening,” she assures you, “And if you need to take a break, its fine. If you need to stop all together, I understand,”

~...mom…~ you could cry, and you know by the end you will, ~Okay...this starts with me and Usa. I didn’t understand it at first, but she and I can share each others dreams if we aren’t careful. When it first started happening...I didn’t know they weren’t mine,~

“Okay,” she asks mildly confused.

~They were dreams granted her by Helios,~

You explain to your mother your misinterpretations of these events, up until your discovery of Usa’s true nature. Its why you were so short with her and so...aggressive. You felt betrayed and so many other things. Mom sits and listens, you can see the sadness creasing across her face. It lightens as you explain your recent efforts to settle this concern with Usa herself, and that you’ve long sorted out those feelings.

“Oh, Mikage,” your mother looks...you can’t really read the look until she takes you into a gentle hug.

You see no reason to stop.

~When I got the chance to be Sailor Moon...I threw myself into it. I had to be better than Usa back then. I wanted to prove myself. When you said that Saturn would teach me how to fight...I was overjoyed,~

1/??? its fucking long

THE WILD RIDE NEVER STOPS

>>35212065
It rolls off your tongue, how the supposedly kind Auntie Hotaru would always be very quiet around you despite Usa’s insistence that she shouldn’t be so shy. Then, when you met up with her to begin our training in earnest, and she warned you that she would be demanding and unyielding. She only expected the best from you, because she knew what we were capable of. It left a sour taste in our mouths, thinking she had compared us to Usa. We bit at it readily.

Every stern glare. Every cross expression. Every piece of aggressive encouragement. Every intervention in the field, with their angry warnings that we could have been killed or that we were not paying close enough attention to our back. Sensei Tomoe was Usa’s best friend. We thought she hated us for not being Usa, and we kept trying to please her. We had to prove we had our own merit. To her. To Usa. To everyone.

“You never had to prove anything,” your mother’s grip on you tightens as you begin to cry.

Reaching up, you pull the wig from your head and let your pink tresses fall free around you.

~I still call her Tomoe Sensei,~ you grouse, ~Like I think I’ll never be good enough. Like I’ll never have her approval,~

Teeth near to grinding you seethe.

~And...maybe through it all I just wanted one kind word from her. One acknowledgement of praise. She never gave them to me...but she could admit to her...admit to Usa that she was proud of me...I needed it then...maybe I wouldn’t have pushed as hard as I did to fight alone. Maybe I wouldn’t have been so headstrong...maybe I wouldn’t have…~

You take a deep breath and dry your tears on your mother’s shoulder. Smelling her sadness and worry makes you hate yourself a bit. Its enticing...but you don’t want to feel responsible for making your own mother feel that way.

THE RIDE NEVER ENDS!!!!

>>35212051
I did it for the express purpose of preventing the irony of the last few threads. One post of mine is supported by name fags and then in the next breath my next post is shot down by them.

It was driving me nuts. Few threads ago I had Scholar right and ready with me to break hotaru's face. How things change...

>>35212097
~Maybe if I had been anyone other than me, she would have shown me some damn emotion or praise and I wouldn’t have gone off alone that night,~

“Its okay baby,” your mother rubs at the small of your back, “You can let it out if you need to,”

~I used to think I hated her...now I’m not sure. I’m still angry, and I can’t even think of talking to her yet without this black pit burning in my stomach,~ you curse, ~Usa tried to defend her...please tell me you aren’t going to too,~

“I’m not going to tell you anything about anyone. I’m here to listen. That is between you and Hotaru,” your mother looks away for a moment and then back into your eyes, “This is between you and me and whatever you’re comfortable telling me,”

You spend a few minutes doing just that. She just holds you and rubs at the small of your back and squeezes you against her. This misplaced sense of guilt grows within her. Its heavy.

That night.

~So, I don’t know what Luna and dad told you already...but you already have the aftermath from Osaka-san,~ you tread carefully.

“Your father and Luna kept your confidence, but he did tell me that you didn’t know Umino was already dead,” she sighs and looks away, “It must have been hard, thinking that for so long, and not being able to face it,”

~It was,~ you choke, ~maybe almost as hard as admitting it happened,~

As you describe that night, starting with the promise you made to Kairi. Receiving Hotaru’s call on your communicator and ditching it because you thought you could handle this, you believed you had to handle this. Just you.

>>35212065
>1/??? its fucking long
wow you're really going to bring up everything.

>>35212123
YES! ALL THE THINGS!

>>35212102
Somehow you manage to keep your emotions in check until toward the end. You’re shaking when you describe the way his empty face stared up at you, the shifting fibers of black carbon falling in the hole you punched through his...how sick you felt. How even though you knew it hadn’t worked before you kept casting Escalation until you were out of magical energy.

The Silver crystal had burned against your chest, and you could do nothing.

You stopped the monster, but you failed to keep your promise.

~I couldn’t save Umino Sensei,~ you admit, ~And I’d thought I’d done a terrible thing...so I shut everything down. I shut everyone out. I gave Koyomi the crystal and I ran as hard as I could away from that part of my life,~

You take a deep breath.

~That’s part of the reason I’m dressed like this...actually,~

“I don’t understand?”

~I’ve lost all control of my life...and I almost got Kairi killed again,~

“Now I really don’t understand,” she gives you a squeeze and then pulls back with her hands on the far sides of your shoulders, staring into your eyes, “but even if I don’t understand, I’m here to listen. Okay,”

~I didn’t think I deserved...happiness...or love,~ your voice grows raw, ~my anger...any of it. I didn’t want to feel. So I used the disguise pen to make people who could. To live the life Mikage Chiba couldn’t...and its hard to explain, but I get lost behind the masks,~

Your mother nods slowly. As you take a deep breath and center yourself.

>>35212102
>One post of mine is supported by name fags and then in the next breath my next post is shot down by them
namefagging. Not even once.

>>35212144

~Her name is Miki...she got involved with a Ganguro Fashion revival circle,~ you smile with a hint of pride, ~She’s who I am when I want to be appreciated...to be admired. For the longest time I thought Mikage Chiba just deserved to sit alone in the shadows,~

Choking back tears, the cadence of your voice shifts.

~Like...I’m ha-happy to finally meet you,~ there is a tick of surprise behind her eyes as your body language and state shift from releasing pent up pain to hopeful worry and fear of rejection, ~Mommy~

You are tertiarily aware of another well of depressed natural emotional energy nearby. At the top of the stairs. It occurs to you that you haven’t heard the hiss of the shower for quite a while.

>>35212159
Meh. I originally started specifically for this quest because it makes the level up process much much easier and let's Arty run while I handle the herding of the cats that is leveling up.

>>35212166
>>O-Official debriefing?
Anyone who would stutter like that is surely delicious.

>>35212187
And I appreciate it

>>35212166
>>Mournful Heart

>>35212102
I'm willing to do that IF Hotaru looks like she's going to be Ice Queen to Koyomi. I'm willing to do just about anything, depending on the context.
Plus, that was the sparring wasn't it? I'm torn on that. If we can win without sneaking, sure. otherwise, I'm not seeing the point?

>Mournful Heart

Oh no, Scholar being flip floppity like a pancake on which side of something he's on? That is so completely and entirely out of character.

Oh wait.

In all seriousness, he has a great enthusiasm.

>>35212201
Also: Gratz Arty, you've run two threads to autosage today.

>>35212228
Heh, there are times when I'll be at work and my phone won't let me post and I'm just like "OHSHITSONWATRUDOIN"

>>35212206
Reasonably sure it might have been you who suggested back stabbing during the event... I could be mistaken and I'm far to tired to look it up.

Either way I still kind of want to hit her. Not sparring at this point just the pitiful chest beating crying thing. Sort of a whydontyouloveme. Situation must more peachy at this point.

>>35212245
LISTENING TO ME! HAHAHA HAHA!

Side note I also appreciate the level up shit. I don't pay too much attention to it so half the time it feels like Greek pops on the screen and I just second whoever seems most organized.

Wait.. did.. hoo boy..
Did Miki just.. I.. ack.

>anon.exe has crashed
>process [wha happen] has stopped working
>restart: y/n?

>>35212245
Heh. I don't get quite that agitated, but it is kind of bothersome to be too busy actually doing my job to quest like I'd like to.

>>35212272
Shit yeah, this. I've said it plenty of times with my name off, so I may as well be on record. I don't really into all the crunchy stuff. If I'm voting in combat at all, it's almost always the gut vote.

>>35212166
Shit...how much did Kairi hear?

>>35212234
He's also broken my brain with a new tier of Mikage Brain Problems.

>>35212316
I can smell therapy in our future.

>>35212251
I can get behind this action.
Dump truck our spaghetti on her.

>>35212294
Miki like totally supplanted Mikage!

Which is seriously odd and Usagi now sees the fragments mentioned in a certain Q and A session. I think that pic is an accurate representation.

>>35212332
Like why?! We're Totally fine n' junk.

>>35212228
I'm not much of an ideas guy, and I want to see stuff I like happen, even if it's not my own idea, so I change my vote.
>>35212251
hm... I can get behind the 'pitiful chest beating crying thing'. Would it end in us drinking Hotaru's emotional issues? a mutual airing of emotional issues between Mikage and Hotaru?
>>35212187
Hey I have no knowledge of Pathfinder, or any of the mechanics. you are a boon to this quest
>>35212315
assume all of it.

I didn't expect one to sub in and introduce themself. Dangit, I though we'd brought Miki more firmly into the herd.
Mikage's selves have slightly more unhealthy autonomy than I thought.

So. For the Sasha LI bit.

We had a chance to pounce on Yoshi and Gai, but we let them slide and pushed those opportunities away.

Meanwhile, we knew Keiko had a thing for our dashing Eclipse, as did Aiha and potentially does Koyomi.

The Midori bit was known to us, but not completely to Mikage.

I think we're ripe with potential LI of both genders that we've just ignored.

To say nothing of Koito's devotion to Sailor Moon, granted we've only interacted with him super briefly.

...do we want to try and add any of the girls from Zodiac to the list?

>>35212343
>Miki like totally supplanted Mikage!
reintegration complete, more like.

>>35212340
YES! FEEL THE FEELS - LET THEM FLOW THROUGH YOU!

>>35212351
If I can't convince everyone to murder her with fists we will do it with feelings.

Also an acceptable time in which biting her is okay. I want to rev up the feels train.

>>35212361
Haha.

We've lost all our meatballs at this point.

>>35212373
The Primroses are not love interests. They are possessions.

With a little work, they might be vassals.

>>35212369
Oh I think it's far more interesting this way.

>>35212373
I... don't remember who all these people are at the moment I'm too tired will review in the morning.

>>35212375
I totally the support the "Why don't you love me." thing.

>>35212375
Ok, I'm on board for now, let's see how that goes. probably going to break with you on 'murder' though.
