“Cellphone registered under...Mamoru & Usagi Chiba. One of six. Outgoing contact information lists it as Mikage Chiba. She’s calling the Negotiation Lead’s daughter,”

“They are classmates, nothing unique there,” sighs the driver as he adjusts feed exposure of the wireless cameras on the van and seeded around the house.

“Put it on speaker,” you say just a bit too quickly.

-

~Hello?~

“Chiba-san, I’m glad I caught you,”

~What’s up? I’m going to be honest here, a little surprised you actually calling me on a weekend,~

*Rustling, baby babble*

“Its...I’m at Keiko’s house and we’re reading lines. She has a presentation with the drama club she’s having trouble with… she doesn’t doesn’t want to read the character as written and is having a problem finding her voice,”

~And how do I fit into that?~

*Shuffling*

“I was wondering if you could come over and read one of the parts. Since getting to know you, I think we’d have the perfect chemistry, and I could...well its technical. Acting related and all that,”

“So if you’re free anytime tonight or tomorrow that would be amazing and we’d like to see you again,”

~Sure, I’ll be over in a bit. Do you like sugar cookies?~

“I don’t hate them,”

~Good,~

*beep*

-

Wonderful. Its just over an hour later that your friend’s daughter arrives with plastic container in hand. Your hair stands on end, but you can’t let any of your crew know anything about this. Its only a few minutes later that all of your cameras go white with light as something flares in the dark.

Kicking open the back panel door, you shield your eyes as the light fades. A girl in anachronistic red military attire crosses swords with the man in black, the Jewel Thief. The stranger kicks him back, away from the Sugimoto house. You’re moving and loading phosphorous shells into your shotgun before you’ve fully registered the situation.

>>34297234

She leaps back after you begin assessing the situation from cover, narrowly avoiding a swipe of Jewel Thief's dagger. Giving hand sign instructions to your subordinate as the driver radios in the ongoing incident, you cock your gun and wait.

He's faster than her, it's clear in the way they move. They speak as she dodges and feints, you aren't close enough to hear. What happens next reaches you clearly.

"STARLIGHT ATTACK!" She cries after pressing her hands together, unleashing four balls of burning light as they part.

Like comets they streak in a spiral toward the thief, but he is more experienced. He twists and spins as they pass him by. That attack, you've seen it before. Sanjou, a first love you hadn't remembered until you were already well in love with another.

Love...why are the men you love cursed to cruel fates? This girl, whoever she is beneath the mask, has some connection to Nephrite. You will find out what it is, you will see this through. You'll learn her connection to Jewel Thief and her connection to Mikage Chiba, whether it is beneath that black cloak and flowery language or not.

He throws some kind of powder in the air, it ignite in a disorienting flash. The girl screams as he charges forward and shoulder checks her to the ground. She hits hard, and with a thud. Taking a moment to breath, he resumes his approach, long dagger held high.

Something twists in your gut. It isn't your expected duty as you roll clear of cover and smoothly right yourself. It isn't your want for answers from this mysterious potential ally. There is something deeper that propels you forward as you unload one barrel of incendiary rounds into the would be murderer thief in black.

>>34297170
yay, it is time!

>>34297257

Impact kicks him back, knocks the dagger from his hand. The black wrappings over his shoulder burn away, only a few scant scorch marks scour his skin. Tough bastard. He fails to right himself as your boot slams against his chest, pinning him to the ground. Pumping the shotgun, it loads the next round and ejects the spent shell. Leaning in, to press more weight on his center of balance, you level the barrel point blank from his face.

"Hands up! Go ahead, give me a reason," you hiss as the sword woman behind you groans and sits up.

The thief slowly, and with a pained grunt, brings his hands up to place behind his head.

"I will give YOU no further reason. I cannot speak for my compatriot," he explains calmly.

"Watch out!" Cries the girl as the four lights previously unleashed soar past you.

Leaping back, giving the Jewel Thief a few broken ribs for the trouble, you narrowly avoid the landing shockwave of a woman half again as tall as you landing just in front of where you had been.. She wears a grey anachronistic military uniform, much like Nephrite wore in your memories of him, but with silvery green trim. Her hair is stark white, and her shoulders are set wide even for her impressive stature, despite the more masculine build her facial features are young and impish. A black gem sits embedded into her forehead, it shines in the lamp lit street tracking you like a third eye.

Her uniform is burned in four places, near the center of her chest, despite taking the masked girl's attack dead on she seems unfazed. Ripping her fist from asphalt, she grabs one of Jewel Thief's hands and lifts him up.

Your subordinate is in position. Behind them and crouched low in front of the house. He has his automatic rifle out and a P90 on his side as a standby. You know he won't fire until you are clear from his line.

>>34297279

Beside you, the girl stands and flourishes her blade. The point trailing between Jewel Thief and the newcomer.

"I had this under control, Amazonite," he coughs as he draws a second blade from within his sleeve, "but your assistance is quite appreciated,"

"Well, you always could make a girl feel welcome," she giggles, "Hidde"

"I warned them on the inside. I think we just need to buy some time," whisper the girl.

"I should have backup en route. Who are you and what's your connection to Mikage Chiba? What do you know about a man named Nephrite?"

"I promise I'll explain everything later, Captain Osaka, but for now I need you to trust me," she wilts before darting a few steps forward and pointing an accusatory finger toward the woman, "HEY! How the hell is your voice still so high and cute? It really doesn't suit you!"

That woman bristles. Thief is confused. This girl is too headstrong for her own good. And none of it matters. You need to hold the line.

Interlude End

>>34297296

Quest Start

The battle is joined.

Mikage Chiba, you. White dress, gold and blue trim, and the strange astrological crest of the Eclipse burning on your forehead atop the naturally present crescent moon of your blood line.

Shard of Metallia, your foe. Rage, hatred, and jealousy in a jagged inky black shape of most and the twisted burnt concept of flesh. Freshly pulled from its attachment to the memories of a classmate.

A classmate who happened to be the reincarnation of a sorceress possessed by this monster several thousand years ago, and then again seventeen or twenty years ago. You aren't quite sure of the actual dates on either. Really.

Oh well. It's time to get your hands dirty. You loved and forgave the shit out of Beryl after cutting her from this power, and left further matters in Keiko Sugimoto's hands. So you are almost certain that it's time to bring the pain.

Your opponent stands 40 feet away from you, snarling living darkness with glowing yellow eyes and maw. A purple four point star rests upon its brow.

>>34297314
...I have no idea what I'm doing.

I don't see any reason to go all out (excepting rage-related abilities), though.

Fairy Fire for initial debuff? Control shadows to find the core of Metallia, entangle it and then moonbeam?

>>34297552
*any reason NOT to go all out, I mean.

>>34297314
I think we put Force Screen up before moving from our dream, should still be running, yes?
If so, gonna say we close in and let loose a Scream attack.

>>34297508
Moon light is still active.

>>34297552
First turn actions. Feel free to debate what else you want to do, but please tell me what you want to do this turn.

>>34297314
Cast Jump now so we'll have mobility during the fight. Move a bit closer, away from the girls, so to about 20 feet?
"So, you must be Metallia, or at least some hidden fragment of it, lost and hiding within the memory of Beryl."

>>34297552
Set-up Jump this round and peg it with Faerie Fire next round?

>>34297627
they were in order, but fortunately we have some competent combateers here, so I will defer to their preferences.

>>34297757
The fairy fire is a good idea, I didn't think about that one.

Looks like we've got a few spell suggestions rolling:

Fairy Fire: Last minutes, will keep it from hiding. Throw a Planet Power on there and we have a chance of Blinding for 1 round.

Scream: Is attack, deals damage. Could potentially stun for multiple rounds.

Jump: We jump good. Good for fast movement, charge attacks, and kicks. Lasts a few minutes.

True Strike: Good before we decide to really hit it hard, particularly with the damage resistance bypass.

Hmm, we've got a tie.

Time for a final destination vote.

1. Cast Jump and Advance
2. Debuff with Faerie Fire

Writing and rolling.

I'm liking the Fairy Fire thematically, just separated her from Beryl, no we turn to her and we're like "No more hiding for you."

>>34297960

Oh yes, are you using the planet power enhancement for the spell?

>>34297989
With it being only 1 round, I'd hold off. Think we're going to do more set up.

>>34297989
I'd lean towards no, it seems pretty expensive for the chance of a one-round blind, but again i defer to the combat savvy.

>>34297971

Stepping forward, you spread your arms wide and cup in your hands two points of sparkling purple and silver fire. Three dark shadows split from your own and hurtle forward, surrounding the creature of malice with threatening feints and offensive blight.

~So, you must be Metallia, or at least some hidden fragment of it, lost and hiding within the memory of Beryl. Well, try hiding now,~ you hurl the mass of energy forward in a massive surge.

It drapes across the shifting features of your remaining Four Kings, outlining them as shadowy figments of their own existence as well. The thing, Metallia, snarls. It is quite unhappy to be wreathed in your spell. It communicates something to you without words. It wants you to know it could have gone invisible, it wants you to know it had wanted to play with you.

It won’t be playing now.

From the core of it’s torso, four bolts of black and sparkling light lance onward and strike you dead on. Short bursts of energy catch just off of contact with you, perhaps by luck or by the buffer of your psionic screen of energy. They tear a bit at your dress, and you feel drained and need to catch your breath.

They didn’t draw blood, but it was tiring not to take their force head on.

If it's solid, then so much the better, because with shadow control theoretically, we could dismember it.

Its physical form is outlined in faerie fire.

~That hurt,~ you grouse.

Hiking up your dress and charging forward, you close the distance between you while screaming. This monster is standing between you and waking up. Between you and

~I DON’T HAVE TIME FOR YOUR BULLSHIT!~

It raises its claws to where its ears would be and falls to its knees. Your voice tearing into it as you force magic up your throat and let the space around you feel your frustration.

>Enemy takes 5 Vitality Damage & 2 wounds.
>Enemy Stunned for 2 round.

It doesn’t move, your expulsion of power rendering it stunned and unable to act. As you stretch your shoulder and prepare for your followup and to close in, white angular arcs of electricity lance from the side and continue on a fair distance into the dark beyond the unfolded lotus platform. Metallia roars in further pain as the surging wave of power strip more of the flame like shadows from it’s surface.

>Enemy takes 24 vitality damage.

Standing there to the side, arms outstretched, is Keiko Sugimoto. She’s wearing her school uniform with a red sash around her waist, perhaps torn from the giant dress that had moments before covered the fading memory of Beryl..

“I appreciate everything you’ve done, Mikage,” huh, she isn’t calling you Chiba-san, “And as a good host its the least I can do to help you kick this bastard’s ass!”

You’re suitably impressed, both with her confidence and the raw power she’s throwing around. It is worrying though, that such power is suddenly her’s.

Nodding to Keiko, you focus your magics on your sixth sense and see clearly all the perfect angles and actions of attack against the still incapacitated Metallia. The perfect lines along which to kick, stab, chop, or bite into your foe for the best possible result.

~Such language, but well said,~

Smiling, you circle wide, tearing your dress at the front to avoid tripping over it. Quickly you position yourself behind the beast and the shadows of the Shintennou, ready to strike.

Metallia continue to writhe, but steadies a foot as it tries to acquire its bearings.

Keiko rushes forward and thrusts a hand forward, fingers spread wide across Metallia’s face.

“For everyone you’ve hurt, for everyone you made me hurt. For everything we’ve done I CURSE YOU!”

Sparks of energy was between them, Keiko’s hand is withdrawn as though she had stuck it in a pot of boiling water. Metallia shrieks.

I'd agree with Vitality, between Keiko's hit and a good roll here we might strip away everything around that core of vitality.

>>34300315

Other way round.

>>34300315
Other way.
We're thinking 8d6 to Vitality instead of 8 to Wounds.

>>34300353
>>34300355
Well, with 5 degrees of success we can instead do 13 to wounds. I think that sounds pretty awesome to me. But on the other hand, stripping away all that vitality might make things easier for the rest of this fight. Maybe compromise with 8d6 to Vitality and 5 degrees of success to wounds?

>>34300093
How much does it cost to hamstring or grapple?

>>34300409
Might be onto something there. 13 Wounds does sound good, though it we could do a maneuver that could be good too.

>>34300502
So 8d6 to Vitality, 4 wounds and a combat maneuver? I think >>34300449 is on to something with the Hamstring. Keep our ability to move freely open.

Any objections?

Rolled 2, 1, 1, 6, 6, 5, 3, 4 = 28 (8d6)

With a step and flourish your close in upon your enemy as it rises, still holding it’s head. You slam into it hard, as you pull the knife free and directly into it’s back. It yowls as you twist, wind taken out of it’s mimicry of lungs. As you pull back, your flowing white stained in black, you imagine it’ll be better to fight clad in night. You feel the Regalia of Eclipse ready for you to don freely, when you so will it.

The creature rights itself and is no longer stunned. Metallia eyes the both of your, the star on it’s forehead shining.

Keiko breathes deeply to resolve herself as she stares up into the monster's eyes.

Man, we really need some damage magic. Like a Moon Lance or something like that. Any way I guess I'm gonna go for move 10 feet back, cast True Strike and then use Sudden Strike for more massive damage.

>>34301151
Moon Beam is a cone.

>>34301169
Right, thinking of the old Moon Bean

suddenly I wonder if Keiko has any abilities we can combo off.

Final Destination!

2. Vanishing and Sudden Strike

We should try to finish with draining though, if nothing else we need a heal.

Okay, between skirmish and sneak attack, that's going to be 5d6? How do you want to split it up?

Also, give me 1d20+7 vs AC 6.

Also, did you mean using Surprise Strike, or was Sudden Strike just a way to say sneak attack.

As your foe will be flat footed because you will be invisible?

Rolled 2 + 7 (1d20 + 7)

>>34301333
Roll them for vit

Rolled 16 + 7 (1d20 + 7)

>>34301333
Well, I think at this point we go 3d6 towards Vitality and than 2 more wounds. Not counting whatever Degrees of success we have.

>>34301333
Wounds.

>>34301358
Yeah, don't need Surprise Strike, we're already getting the flat-footed.

>>34301358
Well I was meaning that we move back, cast true strike and then use sudden strike, but this works too.

1 More attack roll, please

Rolled 10 + 7 (1d20 + 7)

Rolled 10 + 7 (1d20 + 7)

Rolled 5, 5, 4, 5 + 4 = 23 (4d6 + 4)

3 Degrees of success. How do you want to spend them? 1 for 2 Vit, 1 for 1 wounds. 1 per maneuver.

>>34301559
I'd say all into hamstring, we keep her from getting her defenses up this will go faster.

>>34301624
Seems fair enough.

>>34301624

>>34301559
Likes like another -3 to Hamstring Arty.

>You strike
>HAMSTRING
>Keiko unhappy to be hit by magic missiles.
>Keiko steps back and...

You wrap yourself in invisibility instead of the Regalia, and leap back. With a swing of your arm you hurl your blade into the base of it’s neck. While it doesn’t cause any permanent damage, you think you’ve interrupted its coordination as it sinks into the flickering black surface.

Your visibility resumes as the attack strikes, and its looks over its shoulder at you and smiles. Stretching out its arm, four more bolts of magic lance out, and strike true to explode violently around Keiko, who looks far less steady on her feet for it as she screams.

“No! I don’t want to die!”

Keiko stumbles back, and the distant walls of the dreamscape display her point of view when explosive chaos last enveloped her. When jewel thief used some spell or another to blast her into the wall hard enough to leave her a paraplegic were it not for your magical intervention.

“KEIKO!” Midori is running toward the fray, running toward her friend.

>Your Turn

"You are not going to die! Nobody is going to die here today except this remnant of something that is already long dead!"
And then grapple the damn shadow and cast Restoration.

>>34302006

>>34302020
Thanks.

>>34301984
How long can we realistically delay the resto for?

Long enough for Midori to say something stupid?

>>34302020
plus 3 from Shintennou

>>34302033
Restoration takes 3 rounds to cast.

I will tell you right now, that unlike the unborn shadows you've fought in dreams before or fought by purifying their hosts, it will not have as much of an immediate impact on combat.

>>34301984
And work in a bite/drain to keep Metallia busy while we cast.

>>34302066

Against complete entities, it just lowers Taint Scores

>>34301948
Grapple the shadow and drain

>>34302066
Man we really need to take Quicken Spell. Um...shit. My reptile hind brain is telling me that we should continue to beat the abomination from outside space and time in the face until it stops moving, but I also think that draining shadow and casting restoration could end up with hilarity.

>>34302105
If we want hilarity....

Controlled rage

>>34302180
HAHAHAA THIS TRAIN HAS NO BRAKES. I like it! Fund it!

>>34301948
Yeah, no more casting for this bastard. Grabble time.
"NO!"

>>34302180
Hmmmm

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

>>34302180
Eah, then there's no Restoration.

>>34302136
Could grapple and stab a lot.. but somehow that seems less mentally healthy than nomming with our history.

Just to confirm.

The general consensus is a controlled Rage Grapple n nom?

>>34302290
Sounds good

>>34302290
I favor the grapple, nom, restoration, but it sounds like the tide is against that.

>>34302290
THE TRAIN HAS LEFT THE STATION! (Yes)

>>34302346
Though I'll admit there is a dramatic appeal to being angry with Metallia trying to take Keiko down with her.

>>34302628
THE TRAIN HAS NO BRAKES. WE ROLL UNTIL WE CRASH AND WE LOVE IT THAT WAY!

I'm going to rule that you don't get the skirmish/sneak attack on your shadow drain damage during a grapple.

Much like you wouldn't during a Vampire's blood drain attack.

Grapple maintained, touching up what I've already written.

>>34302786
Ah, I was thinking the bite itself might had had damage.

~YOU AREN’T TAKING HER DOWN WITH YOU!~

Your joints loosen as you below. Muscles tighten slightly as you rocket forward, slamming into the creature head first and pinning it to the ground. Asserting leverage you pin its head back and expose what you imagine to be it’s neck. You open your mouth, revealing the fangs, and dive. Piercing its hide.

It roars and struggles, but you keep the draining fangs deep into its tissue. You drink.

So pure! So total! It isn’t human, but it is a pure darkness. Oh, more. Give me more. I want more.

Keiko watches in dumb confusion and horror as you’ve bitten and latch upon the unfathomable remains of a great cosmic evil. The ground around you cracks as volts of black erupt toward the dreamscape sky, making uneven and jagged ground out of the lotus petal on which you stand.

Every last drop, I need it inside of me! It can’t spread further if its in us! We need it all!

Midori reaches Keiko, and tries to shield her eyes from rising wind and debris flying away from the center of this conflict. Keiko herself lays a hand on Midori’s shoulder and utters words with magical weight.

“Be protected,” and Midori is wrapped in translucent armor of bristling magic.

Your hair whips wildly as the creature struggles beneath you, unable to regain control of the situation.

>Your turn
>Will you maintain the grapple and drinking down the bounty, or try something else.
>Keep in mind, talking is a free action, and even though your mouth is full, you now can speak with telepathy...but you are very angry right now.

>>34303041

>>34303041
>Will you maintain the grapple and drinking down the bounty
Of course. Like the man said - no brakes.

>>34303041
Attack, try to disable it further and hurt it. Drain honestly takes too long.

>>34303041
Roll will to try and stop drinking.

Assuming success, dismember and then beat it to death with it's own limbs

>>34303041
Move to Pin.

>>34303187
Fair point.

>>34303223
Also a fair point.
Pin/Drain, follow with Stab/Drain?

>>34303187
We don't even know how long it will take. Or how close we are to otherwise disabling it.

It seemed pretty unbothered by the damage we did to it before.

Enemy Vitality: 7 out of 92
Enemy wounds accumulated: 12
Enemy max wounds: 22

>>34302956
Busy sorting college-y things. Long story short, books be wicked expensive.
>>34303041
Maintain grapple. Question: Can we channel Restoration through the bite/drain? Like, inject shadow destroying magic directly into this bitch.

>>34303278
>It seemed pretty unbothered by the damage we did to it before.
Seemed to mind quite a bit, while the drain is just a d4. I'm comparing with the Shadow Helios fight where we were had to drain for a long time.
We don't have a long time, even if time is more compressed in dreams. Sit is going down outside.

>>34303299

>>34303739
Curses! Ah well. It's like 2 wounds from death.

>>34303726
>>34303739
Though just Planet Powering a attack roll could mean another success for a bit more.

>>34303788
>>34303760
10 vs 8, we'd need a 3 or better.

>Vitality depleted. 10 overflow damage into wounds. Wounds are 22/22

Your eyes are wild with anger, but you know exactly what you’re doing. Wrenching the knife from the back of Metallia’s neck, you release your hold on its body and lift it high. Keiko and Midori look on worried as black ichor drips down your chin and your fanged mouth clenches. With a shriek, and the fluttering of your black stained white dress, you plunge the dagger deep into Metallia’s face.

~YOU’LL NEVER HURT ANYONE AGAIN~ you roar and twist the blade.

I’ll keep you from getting out. I’ll find all of you and keep you from hurting anyone else.

Fissures spread out from the eyes and mouth. The gem sinks into the black before its entire mass constricts before vaporizing into a fine mist. In its death throes, the ground beneath you erupts. With no purchase you fall down toward nothing. Black void everywhere. Somewhere above, where there is still light, you see Keiko falling toward you and gaining. Midori holds her hand and trails behind her as she flies with intent.

Just besides you, a purple crystal falls. A four point star, the gem that had been inside of Metallia. It had no human memories, just the emotions it manipulated in others. You see them in fleeting reverse order, manipulating Beryl across two lives. Trying to conquer Keiko. Rising from the sun with a stolen shard of its starseed. Splintering off from Chaos many millennia ago to pursue the stars until it found our system young and slept inside an infant sun.

Keiko and Midori are going to reach you soon. Your anger leaves you, and you feel tired.

Your fingers outstretched, and as your twintails dance above you in the falling velocity, you grasp the crystal and pull it close. From contact alone, you can still feel that it is soaked with the overwhelming taint of Metallia and Chaos, but far beneath you feel warm light. Its a balm to your fatigue and restores you.

It is what Metallia stole from the heart of the Sun, a true Starseed. Not the crystallized essence of a planet born within their protectors, but the core of the Solar System, something that should have never been held by mortal hands is now in your own.

Keiko is above. Her hand reaches out for you, and you take it. The sudden stop in your momentum jerks your body and makes your hair return to the proper order of gravity as the dark haired girl struggles and strains to fly up.

“I’ve got you both!” she calls out.

~Who’s got you?~

You feel it as your hand settles into her own, you grip her hand gently because there is no true need to hold on tight. Midori holds on for dear life, poor girl, the excitement seems to be too much for her. There is lingering taint inside of Keiko, and it is identical to that of the starseed in your hand.

“I think I can fly now...among other things,” she admits embarrassed.

How long had Metallia lived in this girl’s soul? Across three lives, manipulating and coercing, surviving sealed inside one of the great treasures of the cosmos. A treasure that probably now fit quite comfortably into Keiko’s heart.

Holding the crystal forward, as Keiko flies up toward a distant light, you murmur magic words and force the magic of restoration into the crystal, and by proxy Keiko.

Her speed increases and she gasps as the slow buildup of energy in your hands begins enveloping the crystal. Both glow with an unearthly light as your locket burns and shines golden light, lighting your way in the dark of the collapsing dreamscape.

“I know this feeling,” she says in wonder.

>>34304451

~Don’t dwell on it,~ you assure her, ~just get us up and out of here. Kairi bought us time to do this and now we need to wake up,~

She nods and as the buildup of energy is complete, the crystal burns away the blackened taint and becomes clear. All the while, it emits a soft and life giving warmth.

You awaken with a start on the couch, Keiko and Midori groggily waking on either side of you. It feels like the whole house rocks in a small earthquake.

>>34304471
I think we should give Jadeite to Midori now. We probably should have done it earlier. Then lets go clean up outside.

>>34304646
That would be jumping the gun rather hard, I would think.

>>34304646
Probably not enough time for that but I do agree that Jadeite needs to stay there with them.

>>34304591
>>34304829
Second.

And justice time.

Whoops, thread Pause.

Gotta go pickup Luna and a friend of her's from work. You guys continue to debate the issue of Midori & Jadeite while I'm gone. See you in a bit, but when I get back we may have to close for the night, to resume in the morn.

How did everyone enjoy the combat so far?

>>34304961
Very nice!

Are we going to see/hear what words Keiko exchanged with Beryl?

>>34304961
Seems to be going well, hope to get to Amazonite and Hiddenite soon and help Kairi out.

Kairi had to tell us about her gummi berry juice and threaten to drink it. We're not pulling Midori into this on the very same day she found out about it. That is not a thing that happens. I will oppose it to my dying breath.

Besides, if we need more guns, Keiko just exalted Solar.

>>34305422
I have to admit, I'm entirely positive what happened at the end there. Did we cleanse the last of the taint in Keiko by cleaning the shard?
And does that mean that Keiko has a link to a fragment to Solar Starseed?

>>34305422
She's already invited herself along to a battle against an ancient cosmic evil on the first day she found out about it.
I don't think Keiko's life is going to be getting less dangerous any time soon.

So does this mean Keiko's now Sailor Sun or something?

>>34305905
I'm hoping she goes around fighting evil wearing that Sailor V costume she bought.

>>34305935
Venus and Koyomi would flip. Which might be all the more reason to go for it, but still.

>>34305858
Well, that's for talking about, we aren't just giving them away.

Besides, the fight is going on _now_, not exactly the time.
"Wait didn't almost every Sailor Scout gain power in the middle of a fight?"
Well, yeah, but we've been trying to avoid having that kind of high-pressure choice pushed on people.

>>34305988
I could see them being more amused than much else at that general idea.

>>34304451
>“I know this feeling,” she says in wonder.
Hm, perhaps she hasn't connected us to Eclipse yet.

"Hey, um, if anyone asks, I was hiding in here with you two, k? Gotta check on another friend."
Vashishing Move/Stealth out, avoid where the van might see us leaving.

>>34306121
We keep running around like this saving people, we may have to admit to ourselves that we're a hero.
But the longer until that grudging admission the better, for my amusement.

Seems to be this I think

>>34306650
As it doesn't include the one or two things I'm really against, I'll second that.

Looks like asking them to stay safe, and maybe cover for us, then sneaking out to get to the trouble outside.

~You two stay hidden!~ you declare as you rise and pitch forward, the robes of Eclipse wrapping around your form as you head toward the front of the house, ~I’ve gotta check on Kairi,~

“Wait,” Keiko says in surprise and wonder before blushing nervously, “YOU’RE...I thought you were a guy,”

~Yeah, disguise field. Unless I want something to stand out then I’m a blank slate,~ you continue forward to one of the side windows and slide it open as you hear shouting outside, ~Jadeite, keep an eye on them for as long as I’m close enough,~

“Yes, Princess,” the phantom fades into being beside you before turning to the other two girls, “I cannot do much to keep you safe, but I can prove an able lifeline and distraction,”

Midori nods. Keiko doesn’t seem to be content.

“I can fight now!” she declares, shakily, “I don’t want to run-”

~We’ll figure out how you can help later...just trust me for now, okay?~

“I’ll keep her here,” Midori offers.

“And just how will you do that?” Keiko turns to her friend.

“Because where you’re going, I’m going. And I’m just a human that wouldn’t be able to survive whatever is happening, but I’d follow you...and I need to tell you something,” she grips Keiko’s hands, blushing, as you tumble out the window and land into a vanishing step.

Outside, you sneak carefully and repeatedly invisibly upon the scene as it plays out.

“-cute? It really doesn't suit you!" you catch the tail end of Nephrite Knight saying something to a hugely muscular woman with white hair standing astride Jewel Thief.

Captain Osaka stands behind her daughter, probably unknowingly. She has a shotgun trailed on the woman. The woman smells of shadow taint...but its strange.

“It does suit me!” the white haired woman bristles in a high pitched voice you’d expect from a shoujo anime voice actress, “I am super cute, but also super strong and awesome!”

>>34307644

The situation is decidedly tense, and Jewel Thief looks like he took a huge shot to his sider earlier...but the crater in the asphalt concerns you.

Our dad fucked some shit up with roses. Roses stick through hands, roses imbeded in foreheads. His opening 'Hello' was fairly painful for enemies at times.

Put successes into hamstringing her.
If it doesn't encourage her to back down, at least it will make it harder to put a crater in us.
Sneak/Skrimish into wounds.

>>34308730
Roll against vit.

Not sure what to do with the successes. Hamsting is ok I guess.

Quickling obtaining nearby roof access, you maintain your invisibility until you ensorcel yourself with energies of guidance and see all the points of trajectory your throw against the large woman can go. Rose in hand you hurl along the center most line.

Your bladed flower races through the air as the enemy is locked in some kind of juvenile verbal sparring match with Nephrite Knight. Any wish you had to be privy to the shouted content fades as the rose sinks into her shoulder blade and forces her to take a knee against the sudden shock, revealing the midnight black rose to all the players present.

You land among them effortlessly, and speak.

~Metallia is dead and, your usurper's spirit now laid to to rest,~ you push your cape up and over your shoulder, ~There is no business for you here. Leave the girl be to live out this life, free from the sins of her last incarnation. There is no need for further bloodshed, though I am prepared if you are not so disposed to a peaceful solution,”

You stride between them and the Osaka women.

“You...bastard…” the woman groans and rises, only for Jewel Thief to lay a hand on her uninjured shoulder.

“Calm yourself,” the thief says with slow consideration.

~A wise decision,~ you smile..

“We will go,”

~Wiser still,~

She growls as he nods slowly. They vanish in a slow fold of space and darkness.

-Two choices-

>~Tell your masters-~ What do you want them to take home with them?
>Stay silent
>Write in

&

>Is there anything specific you would like to say to Kairi and Miss Osaka?
