Quest Start

~HALLWAY!~ you blurt out from behind the cover of Kairi and the immensely giant fluffy stuffed rabbit.

Its isn’t something you are normally concerned with, your appearance, but for reasons you blame on Miki returning to you...you cannot abide these young men witnessing you as you are right now. Kairi understands, she always understands, and she sets about with purpose as you shield yourself behind the fluffy thing wishing you a swift recovery. You need to sort yourself out, your hair grew way too much in the few days you’ve been under and you need to disguise your other growth. Staying in bed and wearing a baggy sweater should help with that.

“You heard her,” she sighs and pushes your father, Sasha, and Yoshi Sakurada out the door and closes it; .much to the confusion of at least the Chiba family patriarch, “She needs a minute to put on her face,”

“Just hold on a min-” your father tries to get out before the door cuts him off and leaves him to stand awkward and confused alongside the two boys.

Your mother and sister continue to sleep undisturbed, cuddled together for comfort of the distress lingering on their faces in the large recliner next to your bed. Do you even have a sweater? Springing up and searching the duffel bag you are relieved that you do have one on hand.

You are Mikage Chiba, second year high school student age 15. When you were younger you pushed yourself to be the very best at what you did as the Champion of Love & Justice known as Sailor Moon. You were the third Sailor Moon, after your Mother and big sister, now your younger sister carries that title. Circumstances brought you to abandoning that title and cut yourself off from the people you loved for a long time. Now you are working on changing that.

“Yes!” you offer a silent prayer as you pull the roomy clothing over your head and tug it down to your waist.

>>37638883
“You got a bit taller,” Kairi observes as she looks up into your eyes with a twang of exhaustion in her voice as you pull your presently extremely long hair through your sweater and let it again cascade down your back, “I didn’t really notice while you were lying down,”

~Yeah. My height, my hair, and ...this,~ you blush as you pull the baggy sweater down tightly for a second, ~all had a spurt while I was down and out,~

“It looks really nice long,” she laughs nervously with her sunken eyes askance, “If my hair did that, it would be a crimped and frizzy mess all over the place,”

~Well, now I gotta chop it before they see me,~ you motion toward the door, ~Sasha might accept it given what he’s seen...but Sakurada? No, I don’t want him asking too many questions,~

“He already asked them,” Kairi murmurs.

~Ehhh?~

“I said you’d been tying your buns tightly,” she seems to shrink back into herself, timidly.

This gives you pause. Not for her covering your ass, but for the way she’s acting and her general state. The beginnings of a sickly pale has taken over her features, and her eyes appear sunken from the dark bags under her eyes. Its plain that she hasn’t been sleeping well.

~Thanks, Kairi-chan. Are you feeling okay?~ you venture carefully.

“No…” she sighs and sits on your hospital bed, “My best friend wouldn’t wake up and I kept thinking it was because of me,”

~Its okay. I’m okay...at least I’ll be okay,~ you sit down next to her and tug forward the ear of the fluffy giant rabbit, ~Want to hug this get well bunny?~

“Yes. Yes I would,” she says with a weak smile as she takes the massive soft fluff in her arms, “I’m glad you’re up. Everyone was worried about you and Usa. And...after Sakurada-san leaves I think Sasha has a few questions,”

~ugh, I left him on that rooftop before I charged in,~ you grouse and drop your head into your hands.

>>37638951

“He didn’t stay there,” she explains and appears now as though a weight has been lifted from her shoulders, “He got a little roughed up by those things and...I’ll let him tell you,”

She gets up as you slide back under the sheet of your hospital bed to hide your slightly increased height. With care you tuck your hair back and then over your shoulder, its silky tresses slipping between your fingers as you adjust it. Having grabbed a brush from the bag, you smooth it out and take a calming intake of breath.

~You can let them back in,~

Kairi goes to the door and opens it, to the sight of the three men waiting awkwardly in the hall. They take notice of the gatekeeper’s call and enter the room. Kairi gives your father a brief look and he relents after shooting Yoshi and Sasha a perfectly calm and in no way threatening look.

~Sasha, Sakurada-san. Hi,~ you offer shyly, ~I didn’t mean to worry everyone,~

>Get Sakurada out of here quickly.
>Get Sasha out of here quickly.
>Get both of them out of her quickly.
>Say something specific to Sakurada. What?
>Say something specific to Sasha. What?
>Write in

>Get both of them out of her quickly.

>Get Sakurada out of here quickly.

I kinda want Sasha to stick around. Apparently he has some good stories about what happened after we went crazy-(ier). And, y'know. His sister, n'all.

>>37638974
My apologies for worrying everyone. I should be more careful. Thank you for visiting me.

>>37638974
Oh dear. Wall of text.

>What happened to Usa?
I think we need to have family time for a bit.

>>37639197
Wiped herself out closing the rift I think. Also a wee bit of backlash from Mikage's reaching out to it.

>>37639210
I thought we closed it? Blew it up?

>>37639237
Far as I could tell that was mostly Usa.

>>37639237
Nah. Usa and her group shut it. We blew away the boss and the puzzle mechanic.

>>37639263
>>37639280
Thanks. I guess I need to up my reading comprehension

>>37638974

>Get both of them out of here quickly.

Haha, time for family!

That said, it has to be said.

>Get both of them out of her quickly.

Typos are the best source of entertainment on this board or any board, right up there with awful puns.

>>37639639
While I am without awe right now, I am full of puns.

Rolled 1 (1d2)

Conflicted thought resolution for an NPC

“I-”
“You-”

The two of them pause to regard one another. After a moment Sasha gestures to the taller boy to go on ahead, though a polite gesture there remains a tension between them. Sasha wears the red jacket and green slacks of Infinity Academy, thought with his tie loosened, seems he already started classes. Yoshi Sakurada is in casual clothes, simple pants with a plain t-shirt, for a change.

“I am glad to see you’ve woken up,” Yoshi Sakurada says and steps forward, “I made sure to get most of the class to sign your get well card,”

~Yeah, I saw it. I didn’t mean to worry everyone. I really appreciate that you put the effort in for it...actually kind of surprised I got so many signatures,~ you shrug and lean against the giant fluffy bunny.

“It wasn’t much trouble. I was also collecting signatures for Sugimoto-san as well, after the attack on her,” he says evenly before there is a tick to his features, its subtle but he seems to regret saying something.

~Oh, yeah,~ you muse dryly, ~No one would want to seem like the jerk who didn’t sign the other person’s card. Thank you, class rep.~

You stress his title and position for a moment and he adjusts his collar in probably feigned discomfort. It certainly isn’t you projecting your expectations. Nope.

“Yes...well. Please excuse me and I hope you recover quickly,” he collects himself and leaves after he and Sasha share a nod, “Sasha, Osaka-san,”

“Heh,” Sasha laughs under his breath at the taller boy’s retreating form, “So. You okay?”

~Yeah. I’m fine,~ you shrug and lean back and away from the bunny, ~and I know you probably have a ton of questions...but I’m not up to them yet,~

>>37640364
“Well, I don’t have to ask them. Just glad tha-”

~And I really want to talk to the rest of my family right now…~

He pauses, and nods with a sigh.

“Yeah, I get it. See you on the outside,” he tightens the loosened tie around his neck and gestures to the both you and Kairi, “Don’t want to be late coming back from my free period, later,”

He pauses in the doorway, glances back at you and considers saying something else. Conflict plays across his face before he nods with some resolution.

“She,” he motions to your sleeping sister, “Needs to be more careful about ‘when’ she calls you ‘Neesan’,”

He disappears around the corner as the implication sinks in. Just great.

“Do you want me to leave too?” Kairi asks with some worry.

~No, but I would appreciate it if you can go find Usa for me and send my dad back in,~

She nods as you consider how to wake your mother and sister. Herculean task that it is as you turn from Kairi ushering your father back into the room.

>Try and wake them gently
>Try and wake them by being loud
>Try and wake them by shaking them roughly
>Let them sleep
>Get dad to do it
>Write in

>>37640386
Do we have chocolate left? Waft it near them. They'll awaken.

>>37640386
>>Get dad to do it
Might be funny.

I'm thinking the aggressive application of pillows to Koyomi ought to do it.

>>37640505
Truly we are all on the same page. Such consensus.

Though I guess some are.. softly and.. some are rough?

>>37640473
I figure that the pillows will wake Koyomi and whatever noise Koyomi makes when she wakes up will wake Usagi.

True cruelty has been found.

The only problem I find with the chocolate thing is that I think it is exceptionally unlikely that Mikage would have any left.

We can trust Gnash in two things. Family relations and level ups. You can't have family infighting drama at the end if they never liked each other to begin with, and you can't curbstomp them if you're too inefficiently built to do so.

You can trust me. I'm a doctor.

>>37641397
This guy seems legit. We should trust him. A cat like that would never lead us to the wrong conclusions.

>>37641524
I dunno, man. You go around trusting a completely legitimate doctor about doctor stuff... it's frankly a good way to end up with a bottle full of colored bull semen.

Taking up the box of premium chocolates, you tug at the ribbon and open it free. Your father regards you curiously as you lift the top of the box.

“What are you doing?” he asks curiously.

~Just watch,~ you smile and lift the cardboard lid and select a dark and intentionally pitted chocolate in the tapered shape of a strawberry.

Leaning over you wave the piece first beneath your mother’s nose, the older woman stirs and a silly smile spreads across her face. You know from experience that mom takes longer to come to than Koyomi, so you wait about thirty seconds before you wave it beneath your baby sister who perks up immediately. As your mother wakes and sees the chocolate and as Koyomi is suddenly drooling and wide eyed at the confection, you snap your arm back and pop it in your mouth.

Bitter velvet melts across your tongue and as your teeth pierce the rapidly melting shell and expose you to a milky cream flecked with swirls of strawberry flavor and bits of the real thing dried and set to soak in the filing creme.

“Uah!” Koyomi bellows in sadness before she realizes what she was looking at and launches herself at you in a hug, “What? Mikage-neesan!”

“Mikage-chan,” you mother smiles softly before pouting in faux hurt, “We’ve been worried sick about you and that’s how you chose to wake us up?”

“Anything else would have taken much longer, Usako,” your father smiles warmly.

Swallowing your confection and replacing the box top to the remaining chocolates.

>What do you say to Usagi-mama and your imouto?

>>37641718
The devil made me do it.

>>37641718
It'd probably be best to start by handing over the chocolate. Or some of it. A piece or two.

What happened?

Teary apology probably needs to be saved for the end.

>>37641718
"Honestly I'm a little surprised you didn't try this on me. Might've worked. "

>>37641718
Share chocolate only with mom because Koyomi has loose lips.

>>37641783
More importantly, I want to know what Usagi knows about our "condition", medically speaking.

...what, you don't think we're in hospital by chance, do you?

>>37641840
Oh I think she'd eaten her fill.


>>37641888
Sure we're in a hospital but they're about to release us I thought I'd read in the last thread. Granted it was. "At the speed of hospital bureaucracy."


Why not ask it up above? "Mom what's wrong with me/my head?"

I believe they were respecting Mikage and keeping a bit distant because she'd told her father she had it handled.

>>37641718
Attempting food porn?

>>37642004
Are you suggesting we attempt seducing our family with chocolate strawberries? How much like Usa is Mikage that black lady streak is getting creepy.

>>37641965
I might be mistaked, but I don't think so.

Healing was tried, it didn't work and that worried them enough to get us into a hospital, where they could get us checked out, instead of sleeping it off at home.

>>37642098
Artemis covered this I believe. The restoration/healing worked. But it doesn't cure exhaustion. Mikage ran herself ragged and passed out.

Delay. Dinner

>>37642098
We're discharged later today, it was covered in last thread.

Probably just need to have Hotaru clear us at this point.

>>37641718
I'm sorry for worrying everyone, I should be more careful with what I try to take on.
There was some THING within that rift. It was hungry.. I tried to scare it back.. I wasn't strong enough.
Hope I can compare notes with Usa, try to figure out what that was.

>>37642231
See I thought that was Mikage's hunger. Not random void spooky cravings. Artemis could probably clear that up.

>>37642274
It was she focused on it to come back to herself.

>>37642156
Delicious peaches?

>>37641718
We probably ought to thank Koyomi for purifying us.

>>37642329
I hope we get an Omake of that. Or something similar. Really need to ask what happened after she blacked out.

>>37642377
I'm pretty sure we're going to be seeing that in our nightmares.

>>37642148
Still doesn't explain the hospital. If it was simple exhaustion, we'd be waking up at home.

There's something else at play here, and I'd be betting that's Usagi's doctoring.

>>37643015
Being found on the street they're not sure what's wrong she won't wake up they put her in the hospital and then get the diagnosis.

Granted it could be something else as well. I'll be interested in hearing what Usagi has to say.

Hotaru a shit.

>>37642156
Are you really eating dinner, or are you looking at that new bleach quest like a needy puppy who thinks the new dog food might taste like the old one he misses?

>>37643075
Bleach thread is over for the moment. So I'm reasonably sure he's actually eating.

Cosgrove has abandoned us and Azure is plagued by autism.

There was something hungry in the space between worlds. And then when you were trying to get back to yourself you focused on your own hunger. Two different things.

For the issue of setting there is something devoid of emotions that is hungry between worlds. Does that clear everything up or raise further and more alarming questions?

>>37643163
A little of each, actually.

>>37643163
Hmm. Will this creature support the accumulation of peaches and peachy flavored accessories?

Anyway, writing

Just mixing and combining everything since it may as well work

>>37643193
part of it now almost certainly favours the accumulation of imoutos

>>37643238
For focusing on the hunger, I think we could say that it was the least awful thing we could think of to distinguish ourselves from our parallel incarnations.

>>37643251
Hmm. Well I'm not opposed to it.. and I've been told that magical imoutos can come in peach flavor.

>>37643285
I'd use the argument that it was the only thing we were sure was ours.

They didn't see it so they probably can't argue against it.

>>37643251
You know Mikage is going to absolutely despise momokoimouto, right?

>>37643238
Will it blend? That is the question.

>>37643386
I would expect no less, and fully expect it to be mutual.

>>37643386
I'm missing something

>>37643533
Nothing important.

>>37643584
Now I think it's important...

>>37643740
It has to do with Crisis Quest, or whatever they intend to call it. We needn't worry about that for a while yet.

>>37643740
The state Momoko has entered now is dangerous. She's at risk of spitting into two different beings. Good and Evil.

The good will still be Momoko.. but the evil will be made of her negative energies and emotions. It will be a "Masako." Dedicated to anger and violence.

Mikage being piloted by /tg/ instead of destroying the evil girl will humanize her and either reunite her with her main body or keep her as a younger sister.

>>37644150
Oh. That thing is finally happening.

And after we finally pulled off Operation Happy Family in EPCQ. This is the best birthday ever. Not my birthday, but it's got to be somebody's.

>>37644150
Whatever evil spawned this particular incarnation, evil in Sailor Moon is srs bsns, unlike in Precure land. it's unlikely to be as incompetent as the yahoos we're used to.

>>37644225
technically it's Masako's

>>37644150
You are full of shit.

~Can’t be helped. The devil made me do it,~ you say as a matter of fact before opening the box again and selecting one to give to your mother.

“Hmmm,” she snatches it up, “It appears I didn’t raise a heartless daughter after all,”

That word gives you an odd pause, like you should have heard it recently before. Its probably nothing.

~Anyway I’m surprised you didn’t try that on me. Probably would have worked,~ you muse as your mother pops the molded confection into her mouth with a swoon.

Your father crosses his arms.

“Actually we tried that,” your father admits.

“Yay! Chocolate and Mikage-neechan is back!” Koyomi cheers and nuzzles into the crook of your neck.

~Nope. None for you until you learn your lesson about being aware of your surroundings,~ she pulls back and looks at you confused as you slide the lid back into place, ~You outed yourself to Sasha calling my Neechan while still in uniform,~

“EEEEH!” she shrieks as your mother and father both look over to her and sigh.

~Then again, you did purify me and got me out of that…~ you pause and offer her one, ~craze…~

She takes it from you guiltily and stares at it, teary eyed before looking up at mom and dad.

“Do you think we can trust him?” your mother asks carefully.

~He warned me in a pretty vague way...and we aren’t being hounded by the press...so yeah,~ you admit.

She nods and leans over to check your forehead with the back of her hand.

“Did your latest blood work comeback?”

~Yeah,~ you recite the numbers the doctor gave you earlier, ~they’re letting me out tonight,~

Your mother sighs in relief.

“Your pulse was irregular when I caught up to the girls at the tower. When you didn’t respond to stimuli I had you brought here,” she explains, “Hotaru and I ran a few of our own tests off the books while the hospital staff ran their own,”

>>37644702

~Oh...so...about what happened,~ you begin before your mother cuts you off.

“Usa told us about the rift and the feedback loop the two of you got caught in,” your mother explains as Koyomi finally eats her chocolate, enjoying it despite herself.

~I had to fall back on something that was mine to pull out of the connection...it was either the hunger or how I-~ you catch yourself...you never told Koyomi what happened and you don’t want to now,~I mean...that night,~

“Its okay,” your father lays a hand on your shoulder.

“It is okay, but in the interest of preventing that from happening again,” your mother says sternly, “Hotaru and I want to observe this ‘phenomenon’ at the Tomoe institute,”

“By phenomenon you mean the fangs, right?” Koyomi says through a mouthful of chocolate and cream.

~Its not just that...there was something hungry out there too. Something trying to get in. I think those little black monsters and the body of the big one I attacked was made of it. I thought they were like the darkness the enemy was using...but it was different,~ you pause, ~They just made the hunger worse and I went ballistic,~

Your parents share a concerned look before nodding.

“Usa closed the door,” your father reassures you, “And none of those monsters made it outside the perimeter the elder Senshi erected,”

You nod slowly. As Kairi returns with Usa...and you bristle. Something about her presence suddenly...offends you. Its a primal and deep aversion and hatred that you know isn’t your own.

>Calm down
>Snarl at Usa
>Shove a chocolate in your mouth
>Write in

>>37642274
Somehow magnified ours when we went to snarl back at the void's hunger with our own. They don't need all the details.

>>37644729
>Snarl at Usa

They should probably hear us snarl at her. It would be a warning sign as unfriendly as it is.

>>37644729
Start to snarl, but stamp that down and frown at yourself.
"Ok, now I'M getting weirded out. Big Sis, you feel anything strange just then?"

>>37644955
You're thinking that that might sooner alert them that something is wrong with us?

Seems pretty risky.

Sends the wrong signals. Better that we don't give our family any reason to think we might be possessed.

Besides, for all we know, it's something in Usa.

Good point.
>>37644729

>>37644729
>>Calm down
We have meds for that express purpose, IIRC

>>37645017
This works, because the thing people aren't considering is that allowing the hatred to make us take a physical action would give it more power over us.

>>37645017
Better if you cut off the snarl with a chocolate. But taking >>37645042 fears into account maybe we should say something is wrong with her?

She could have come back wrong after all.

>>37645079
for panic attacks not anger.

>>37644729
>calm down
>shove a chocolate in our mouth
Maybe to stop ourselves from snarling

What if one of those four bits of awful broke off and connected with Usa? Also are we really fine with going to some research institute? We really haven't resolved any of our issues with Dr.Tomoe.

>calm down
>shove a chocolate in our mouth

Yes, going to second. >>37645187 if I'm not too late

>>37645420
It might be better to try and get one on one time with Usa to feel out if she's our sister or a cosmic horror.

Hotaru is a bad person and should feel bad.

>>37645420
I wouldn't exactly say we're fine with it, but I think it would be a good idea to agree.

We can't avoid her forever.

>>37645607
This.
I hate to say it but you have a point, we need to make sure nothing has hooked into Usa.

Or worse, hooked into us.

>>37645607
Yeah one on one sounds good.

I'm also not particularly fond of Hotaru. But there are more important things on the table.

Yay home! And thread still running- double yayification!

>>37646052
Let's just hope this isn't Artemis last post.

>>37646485
I don't disagree.

>>37646528
Well, at least there are some things we still disagree about.

>>37646485
It would be ironic if she was so worried about us getting hurt, because we remind her and Usa, that Usa actually got hurt and she didn't notice due to her tunnel-vision.

Nah, it'd be justified
except for Usa being hurt, that wouldn't be good

>>37646558
Hotaru owes Mikage a massive apology. Staggering level.

>>37646570
If that were the case it would only prove that Hotaru a shit.
But I like Usa so far. We already went through her traumatic thing.

Your eyes narrow at her, her eyes suddenly narrow at you. In unison you turn away from each other, and you pop a chocolate into your mouth, too caught up in your rage to let it do much more than sooth you.

The rest of the family looks on confused.

~Paradox-neechan,~ you begin in harsh tones and condescending inflection, ~Do you feel suddenly offended by my existence?~

“Yes, Mini-me,” she growls and probably crosses her arms, “No idea where it came from as I’ve been really worried about you,”

“Um...I should go,” Kairi offers nervously and slinks out, “I’ll be downstairs with the other girls,”

~No! Everything is fine,” you and Usa say at the same time before whipping around to face each other forehead to forehead, “HEY DON’T COPY ME!~

You simmer for a moment and point an accusatory finger at her.

~Something wormed its way into you and it's making us react badly to each other!~ you accuse.

“No, you stuck your mind into the rift. Something must have wormed its way into you!” she counters as both of your angers are run aflame despite you both knowing you have no reason to feel this angry.

Your mother looks between the two of you with a tired expression. Your father tries to offer a calming word but the two of you glare at him in a way that prompts him to snape his mouth shut.

Ever so sweetly, your mother smiles and rises. In a perfectly calm voice she asks a simple questions.

“Koyomi-chan, could I please have the silver crystal,” she says sweetly.

Your younger sister complies and hands her mother the transformation broach. She draws a necklace out of her shirt and taps something against the crystal, you honestly aren’t paying attention.

Something drops over your neck and you feel a certain sense of serenity fall over you, and both your own and Usa’s expressions of anger give way to sudden confusion and calm.

>>37646763

“Pluto wanted me to give this to you just in case. She said something about residual hostility from the extradimensional feedback loop,” your mother explains plainly, “As long as you wear this, it should be fine,”

You look down and see a small golden key resting on the thin chain dropped around your neck.

As you devolve into regular family chit chat, a nurse enters with your discharge paperwork. Your father and mother pack up your things and go to bring the car around, leaving your sisters and Kairi with you in the room. Koyomi seems to not want to let go of you, and she keeps glancing at your mouth in slight worry.

As things calm down and you share a chocolate with Usa and Kairi, your best friend approaches you nervously.

“Uh...Mikage-chan,” she asks carefully, “I’ve been...really down while you’ve been in here,”

Koyomi somehow picks up on exactly what the other girl means and seems uneasy. She tugs on Usa’s sleeve nervously.

>>Well...you are a bit hungry
One does have to wonder a bit if she's voluntarily turning herself into our thrall. I mean, we don't know for sure that we can do that, but this is how it happens in the stories, right?

But then, it's not like we'd do anything to abuse that kind of relationship, and it's been a few days since we had anything to eat. Omnomnom.

>>37646784
>Well...you are a bit hungry

>>37646784
"Well, they do want to study that in action, so maybe we can save that until then, buy.." Glance at her, "We need to get more help for you, you shouldn't rely on me alone for help.."

>>37646911
Possibly? Mikage is her Xanax. What's a little nip between friends.

>>37648100
Of course it was.

~Well…~ you reason while you swallow your worry and glance over at Usa and Koyomi, ~I am a bit hungry,~

Usa swings her legs over the edge of her bed and leans over curiously. Koyomi looks back and forth between you uncomfortably.

“I’ve been having more trouble than I usually do the past couple of days. And, mom is setting me up in therapy and I’m actually willing to take it unlike before...but I need this,” she says with an edge of desperation.

“Uh...I’m going to wait outside,” Koyomi mumbles and sidles out.

Waiting for her to be clear, you lean over as Kairi undoes the top buttons of her blouse. Usa laughs lightly and has a certainly smug smirk before kicking back around and leaning back into the raised back of her bed, with arms raised and resting behind her bed.

...you have no idea what she’s gloatingly so pleased with herself about. Okay...maybe you do but that is neither here nor there . Oh, you were wondering where you went. Your voice doesn’t respond.

Sinking your fangs into Kairi’s neck, the girl gasps in a sensation of relief as you draw from her the pain of the last few days. Unlike previous meals, her untainted suffering actually satisfies the gnawing hungers in the core of your being. You suppose this is a minor kindness, to no longer have an absolute need for just the energies of the tainted followers of lost Elysion.

>>37648184

That at the back of your mind, you drink deep the sweet pain your friend has endured in worry for your well being and her own misplaced guilt. It settles in the pit of your stomach, as soothing to your senses as the chocolates.

“ahem,” a throat clears at the front of the room.

Somehow, you became so engrossed with your lips and teeth against Kairi’s neck that you never noticed the door opening. Koyomi looks around the corner of the doorway and past the figure standing there and looking at you and Kairi...impassively.

Your eyes slowly trail up taking in her heeled shoes, a professional pencil skirt, a simple purple blouse, and the white coat synonymous with her impression. Her hair is cut in a simple black bob, and her purple eyes betray no emotion.

Tomoe-sensei.

Letting your jaw loosen, you let Kairi flop onto the bed with eyes closed and a contented smile across her face. You regard Tomoe-sensei evenly before you give a sound of mild annoyance.

~hmph~

Turning your nose up and aways from her, you lean back down and return to relieving Kairi of her stresses. Koyomi seems to cringe in the doorway and make a sound indicating her distaste. Usa continues to smirk, to your mild annoyance because you damn well know what she is likely to be implying and she is completely and totally wrong. Completely. Tomoe-sensei merely enters the room, one step at a time, and...you can feel her standing awkwardly close...seems to be inspecting you and Kairi.

“Fascinating,” she says simply.

And that’s enough to turn your appetite. Releasing Kairi again you turn to face your teacher and reign yourself in to continue to keep yourself in check. She rights her posture, as if she is uncomfortable about something, and calmly turns to Kairi.

“Osaka-san,” she says evenly, “Could you please escort Koyomi Chiba downstairs. I require a private conversation with Mikage,”

Kairi, through a relaxed haze, looks to you searching for direction.

“Err...what about Usa?” Kairi offers.

Humming to herself, your older sister steps up out of her bed and crosses the room to the lavatory and closes the door behind her.

Maybe that key isn't working as well on her? She enjoys being bitchy?

Anything you need to say, you can say in front of my heterosexual life mate.

>>37649507
are you so sure about that?

>>37649504

>>37649535

Usa already has the key from the future. She's had it since she was a little girl

>>37649448
>>You aren’t ready to do this now
We need to have words with Hotaru, but not with the our family present. We need the freedom to curse and yell and be upset, and here is no the place.

>>37649571
That or we ask everyone else to leave, but that doesn't seem private enough.

>>37649527
If it's something important about our shadow vampire powers, the person we've been biting on a regular basis deserves to know. She's also our knight. And Hotaru is being exceptionally creepy, which makes me not want to cooperate.

>>37649448
>>You aren’t ready to do this now

>>37649625
I agree with this.

Tell her our baggage between us shouldn't be discussed right now, but we would really like to know what she thinks of the fangs.

>>37649611
Is it not obvious?

>>37649625
She's being Creepy and Usa is being oddly smug/evilish.

>>37649448
>Let Kairi go with Koyomi

>>37649607
Wait, aren't our family leaving right now? Like Kairi was escorting our younger sister out, and our parallel sister went to the bathroom.

>>37649677
Mom and Dad are here.
And a hospital bathroom is not nearly proof enough against yelling.

>>37649677
Hospital bathroom as far as I can tell in the same room.

So 3 feet away with a door shut.

>>37649700
No they aren't. They're getting the car.

I'M HERE! Class and Kendo club ran longer than expected.

>>37649773
Hey dude. You got here just in time for a fun vote.

>>37649773
We're having feels times and could use your input.

>>37649750
That still leaves Usa nearby unless she left the room to go to an outer restroom?

Either way if she's here she'll just play cheerleader for Hotaru.

That hashsing out or what have you is or rather should be between Mikage and Hotaru.

>>37649773
Quick read the entire thread and vote.

>>37649448
>Write in "...Why weren't you there?"

I think Usa is being a smug bitch because Mikage feeding on Kairi has this weird sexual charge to it as I've been reading and she's going "ha ha ha, you like girls"

>>37649828
Addendum:
>"...Why weren't you there? I needed you. I never felt I did every other time. But the one time I needed you, REALLY needed you, and you weren't there.......why?"

>>37649847
Sky blue. Water wet. Film at eleven.

>>37649847
Sister goes insane with hunger and has to be put down with moon powers. Lol! You like girls!

Either she lacks tact. Or she's got a screw loose.

>>37649873
Eh, she wasn't there because we didn't want her there. And we didn't want her there because she was a stone bitch to us and liked compared us to Usa.

>>37649920
Well, she is us.

Right, so, going from 6 to 7 nets us the following!

Right now level up is going to get us the following:
A feat
A new second level spell
A new third level spell
And 9 skill points.

Please respond to this post with recommendations!

I personally am recommending the following:
Current recommendations for skill points:
+2 to Melee
+2 to Stealth
+5 to CQC

Which maxes our ranks in those skills, effectively giving us near unparalleled Martial Skill in an E6 world.

For feats, Quicken Spell. It allows us to get set up much faster.

For second level I'm recommending Masterwork Transformation because it allows us to outfit both ourselves and our generals with Masterwork equipment for the mere cost of a spell, this is a permanent change! Also because the idea of beating something upside the head with a Masterwork Chair Leg makes me giggle.

For third level I'm recommending Vampiric Hunger for story reasons.

>>37650368
I really hope we just talk about the fangs and don't have the big emotional thing. I really don't want to do that with Usa around.

>>37650384
Sounds good to me. But I'm also totally unfamiliar with the system.

>>37650376
Both Usa and Tomoe are being weird right now.

Weirder.

>>37650384
As usual, I lack strong feelings about our numerology component. Unless someone else has a counter-proposal, I think I'll just back you.

>>37650463
Weird how?

>>37650405
Nope, we showed a lot of weakness during the mission, plus she picked up our slack. She's definitely going to go in for the kill.

Usa a shit.

>>37650530
I have to wonder, what did she focus on to distinguish herself from all our other potential selves?

Was it being a bitch?

>>37650463
>>37650521
They're acting like they know something that we don't, when they should instead be horrified that we're basically a vampire monster.

Either they think we're in lesbians with Kairi and they're being nostalgic, or they're pod people.
Either way that is a terrible thing to think of your baby not-time-displaced sister!

>>37650530
If that's what she's doing then I'll have to agree that she is in fact a shit.

>>37650560
All signs point to maybe.
>>37650568
So we're a vampire who is alone with werewolves?

>>37650568
>in lesbians with Kairi
There are worse possibilities. Like her mom.

>>37650568
Usa's had her darkside phase. She's probably impressed that Mikage is still so together during her's.

>>37650633
Or worse
Her mom finding out

>>37650628
Werewolves?

Why would her mother care that her daughter is a lesbian who is dating a not-vampire monster who was also the third sailor moon and may have also made a pass at her, as well as the person who is roping her into dangerous business that she specifically wanted to keep her daughter out of?
I don't know.

>>37650384
>>37650454
>>37650465
Sooooo....anyone have suggestions?
Anyone?

>>37650678
Well.

1. Does she know Mikage is a Vampire?
2. Did.. we let her know we made a pass at her as Dan?
3. She knows Kairi is in the business we had a talk with her about the whole general thing. Or well Kairi did.

>>37650699
Sounds fine to me.

>>37650699
no objections

>>37650699
I don't understand the character sheets well enough to comment.

Since you're melee advocate guy, and melee has done nothing but serve us well so far and in some cases completely broken the encounters we've been in, I'm going to take your word for it.

Eh, I consider it more of a sign how ridiculously overpowered the moon princess class is, rather than any problem with melee itself. Also accurate to the source material.

You nod to Kairi, and to your little sister, who stopped cowering behind the edge of the door frame when you stopped drinking down Kairi. She quietly takes your sister down the hallways and leaves you alone in the room with Hotaru Tomoe...your teacher.

She regards you carefully for a moment as an awkward silence fills the room.

Tensing in anger, hurt, and all the pent up feelings you’ve had about this woman you coil ready to spring. She makes the first move.

It cracks, the icey stone mask that you thought was the only face she had. Shame. Guilt. Worry. Weakness. Unfamiliar aspects of a woman you’ve only ever…

What... Looked up to? Hated? Sought the approval of?

She bows her head sharply and awkwardly.

“I-” she stuffers, “I’m sorry, Chiba-san,”

Eclipsed Moon Quest Episode 66 E-

You lock the door to the bathroom, turn on the sink, and sit in the far corner of the shower. Putting on a bemused face was easy...but whatever is happening out there...either your little sister or the woman you love is going to walk away hurt in some fashion.

Curling your knees to your chest, you look at the door, a terrible fortification that you fear to breach when the dust settles.

Nah, Mikage would deal much more damage with silent scorn.

>>37650994
I can't guarantee which side I'd fall on, but since these threads tend to start while I'm busy at work...

I leave it to you all to prepare the greatest entertainment.

>>37650868
Poor Usa.
Not

>>37651008
She's a heartless monster. Who now while Mikage is trapped in a hospital bed traps her into an emotional confrontation.

The apology is also stealing the higher ground. Now if Mikage will look like the bad guy if she starts to argue with her or cite various transgressions.

"I'm sorry." Really doesn't cut it.

>>37651082
Trapped in a hospital bed is locked into an emotional confrontation.*

Really she should have waited for Mikage to say something.

>>37651082
>>37651103
This.

She knows what she's doing, and that's trying to convince herself that she's the good guy.

>>37651082
...must you look at everything through the lenses of manipulation and villainy. The worst in people.

You hear hoofprints and think Nightmares instead of horses. Its amusing to a point, but this one feels a bit forced.

>>37651082
I think you're reading into it further than strictly necessary, but if you feel that trapped, we can always jump out the window.

I assume there are windows in this plaguehouse.

>>37651125
I kinda agree with him. Still not happy Usa is nearby either...

>>37651082
>>37651103
>>37651119
See, the problem with that is at this point after the last few days we've had, I think we're all out of fucks to give.

>>37651008
wouldn't be the first blatantly obvious thing I've missed.

>>37651133
Usa lurks in a nearby room. A reminder that someone could be listening. She's also someone who had decidedly sided with Hotaru in the past.

>>37651136
Which is why I say trapped. She's just been through an emotionally trying event and is now subject to a reconciliation.

>>37651125
The moment you tell yourself it's just horses..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JNuqEz_GCQ

>>37651133
I'll keep that in mind as I'm setting up the prose for Mikage's initial reaction and the subsequent choices next thread.

It still astounds me the lines that get drawn in the sand. Still love all of you guys, anons and namefags alike.

>>37651158
Fair enough, as long as you guys are enjoying yourself.

>>37651164
You're right...at some point I'll tell myself its just horses when the wall burst open and a half fiend acid born sliphnir will kick its four forelegs and and breath green mist while Robot Odin brings ruin to all.

>>37651202
Love you too.

Only half fiend?

In all seriousness the way Usa was acting catty just before the incident created an air of malevolence all on its own.

Having Kairi (An Ally) and Koyomi(neutral/ally) leave. While Usa remained nearby put Hotaru in a controlling position.

We will hold a commemorative barbeque after the barbeque.

>>37651249
>I'd make another go at actually getting past level 3 in Baldur's Gate.
Ranged weapons, The more damage you can cause before enemies get into melee range, the less damage you're likely to take, and at low levels even a few hits will brutalise you.

Get a cleric early, and fill EVERY damn slot with healing spells.

Every fuckup you suffer, is a trick you can use on your opponent. Like the bounty hunter outside the Friendly Arm Inn who uses fear: It's an object lesson in how to (ab)use that spell well.

>>37651301
You have played some back stab heavy table top.

>>37651440
Yes.

>>37651125
I don't get it either.

>>37651530
I do though. And a few other people were worried with how it was setting up. The idea that they were pod people was thrown out.

>>37650868
Nice end there.

Seems I've missed my old tradition of managing to pass out in my seat, waking up, panicked reading, and finding I only missed one post.

Also, level up time, cool, gotta read where we stand there..

Activity was way up this time around. Are Monday nights just good for people or something?

>>37651391
oh. and get a Wand of Fireball and Wand of Web. There's an area added in Tales of the Sword Coast (Ulgoth's Beard?) which can be hard to reach at low levels, but I seem to recall that they're not unfeasibly expensive, and make for an incredibly effective way of levelling up.

>>37651007
Hold on, lemme take a spin through things.
Think we need to branch out from melee this time around.

>>37651741
Post your ideas when you get the chance. I'm not dead locked into voting for what melee has posted I'm just totally unfamiliar with the system.

>>37651741

+1 CQC

We can't get any new Perks until next tier at the earliest, so upping our Primary Combat Skills to max so they can easily be maintained seems like a good choice.

>>37651872
Sorry, not next tier, next level.

>>37651832
That's a bit closer to what I might suggest.
Feel like we are lagging dangerously in our perception ability currently.
Also wondering what 'Earth Crystal Repair' falls under, so we can start fixing it up now.

I have a strong memory that Quicken didn't do as much for us as I'd like, but I'm trying to recall what the alternative was that I did like. Anyone recall which thread we last leveled in? Need to jog my brain, going from sleep to leveling is a hard transition, it seems.

>>37652133
Perhaps 5 points at once into a single skill might be a little too narrow a focus.

>>37652133
See, I'd do that next level. By dumping into the melee skills we just need to upkeep them, and stealth is our primary information gathering and damage dealing tool. Secondly, the perception ability I can somewhat agree, so I'm willing to compromise on that. Finally, when was the last time we actually had a roll against something with a decent insight, that we couldn't overcome because mythic.

I fail to see in a spell point system what is not to like about Quicken Spell, it literally means we can get set-up for combat, information gathering or social maneuvers in a round.

>>37652133
I mean bottom-line is as a Trickster, the more path abilities we get, the more useless skills like Deceive and Persuade become.

>>37652358
>>37652133
For example, Perfect Lie makes putting points into Deceive a waste.

Sorry, still thinking how funny that typo in the first vote is. Doubly so with the height difference. for some reason I find the idea of a lopsided spit roast hilarious.

>>37652358
>>37652133
And then next tier we take Display of Charisma and we don't need to put points into Persuade, Intimidate or Deceive again....ever.

>>37652503
Don't those still cost PP?

How often do we make Charisma rolls against things our level? Most of our Charisma based checks are against the lower Senshi and Kairi, who cannot get on our level. I'm telling you man, it's a waste of skill points.

>>37652533
Exactly, and those special abilities won't help against Mythic targets.

>>37652593
Yeah if we come into conflict with high level liars and monsters we may actually need the capacity to bullshit them.

>>37652320
Think you might be right on the Quicken, though we can't be using it willynilly or we'll burn right through our mp.

...Except they totally do. Perfect Lie and Display of Charisma say nothing about not working on mythic targets.

>>37652640
Well yeah, obviously if you have time to pre-prep do so, but in an OHSHI-WENEEDTOBESETUPRIGHTTHEFUCKNOW kinda moment, Quicken is a Godsend. Also means we can cast a spell and full attack. Or cast, move and attack. Like for example, True Strike, or SUPRISEROSELANCETOTHEFACE

>>37652628
That is literally what Perfect Lie and Display of Charisma are for.

>>37652708
I believe we may need the ability to surprise shank people with lances.

I can see nothing wrong with it.

Display of Charisma (Su)[Which we can get next Mythic Tier]

As a free action, you can expend one use of mythic power to attempt a feat of Charisma, gaining a +20 circumstance bonus on one Charisma-based skill check or Charisma ability check.

Perfect Lie (Ex) [Which we already have]

When telling a lie, you can expend one use of mythic power to make the lie indiscernible from the truth by both Sense Motive and magic. Obvious proof of your falsehood still reveals the lie for what it is, but in absence of proof, those who hear your lie believe it.

With these two abilities, there is no reason to take Deceive, Persuade or Intimidate.

>>37652786
I see..

Also that pic.. It's a good thing Koyomi doesn't have the fangs.

>>37652786
Well, short of a lack of mythic power, that is.

>>37652786
In a system where margins of success can matter, keeping skills in top condition is important.

>>37652812
..yet.

>>37652839
>keeping skills in top condition is important
Particularly considering that all the fun feats with those ask for a large number of ranks.

We have currently 11 uses of Mythic Power, which refresh after 4 hours of rest, as long as we don't spend it willy-nilly I'm not too terribly worried, especially considering we have Dark Lore.

That's why I'm advocating maxing the melee skills this level, after this level we can just drop a point into them each level to maintain them and focus on building up other skills, but the longer we wait on this the more it's going to screw us in the long term, especially considering that our base melee skill IS our BAB.

>>37652952
I vote max melee skills. I'm going to bed.

I vote to stall until next thread so that I can sleep.

>>37651007
Melee +2
Stealth +2
Ranged +5

We've seriously let our ranged skill slip, and most of our combat spells are ranged in nature.

Quicken I can work with.

Not in favor of those spells though trying to bring up my alternates is a pain, the dndtools mirror sites' search options aren't nearly as good as the original.

>>37652708
I think instant rose to the face has a lot to recommend it. We are likely to see a lot of faces that need magical roses stuck in them.

>>37653117
Fuck, we do need Ranged. Rose Lance to the face doesn't work as well when we have fuckall chance of hitting.
