She said that there were other things she had to keep from you, and you accepted it. The details she gave on what happened to dad and his actual work was sparse, so you’ll take her word that she’ll tell you when she can.

Today is going to be great. While Mikage is just assuming all the extraneous lives she had lived to escape herself, you have to go out there and take your life back. Get the things you want which make you happy now that you can let yourself feel, and because you remember that sadness any happiness you get your hands on will be all that much sweeter.

Today you are going to ask Gai out.

“Good, you’re up. I don’t have to wake you,”

Turning, you find your mother seated at your desk with the chair swiveled to face the bed. She’s in a field uniform instead of her dress uniform, but without the tactical vest or helmet. Out of place urban camouflage colors dominate her presence in your room as she crosses her arms.

“Mom?” you ask, “What are you doing in my room?”

“I was going to wake you up at the crack of dawn, but you beat me,” she smiles, “So you’ve earned a peaceful wakeup. Get dressed and meet me downstairs, we’re going for a run,”

“Wait, a run?”

“Then I’ve got a nice little close combat lesson planned for you,” she rises and heads for the door, “No daughter of mine is going to be as sloppy as you were last night. Time to teach you how to fight,”

The door closes heavily, along with the encompassing dread crashing down around your shoulders.

Interlude End

Quest Start

You are Mikage Chiba, and you are being hugged giddily by your big sister Usa. Coincidently, your big sister is an older you born in an alternate reality who traveled back in time to change things before she was born. Those actions prevented her future from happening in this reality, but it still persists and she can go back to it, and she brought mom there when she was younger to save...you know what, its complicated and ancient history. Or far off future. Wait, no. ARGH! God you hate time travel.

When you first learned this, she went from being your awesome super cool big sister to being *HER*. Now, now you can let her be your big sister again. The two of you can now talk to each other without you getting so full of venom and bile that you can’t stand to be around her, for all extenuating circumstances. There still may be a few lingering issues which you’re upset over, but the burning hatred that she once inspired in you is gone.

Pressed closely, you are painfully reminded that you are likely due for a massive growth spurt over the next three or so years. Usa, among her other enviable physical boons, is about as tall as your father and has a good foot or so on you in height. You don’t look forward to what this will mean for your clothes, casual or otherwise, over the next few years.

That aside, this hug has only just begun.

Returning your sister’s embrace, you relax a bit into her. It reminds you of hugging mom, its warm and you hold it for a few seconds along with your breath. She released you and steps back, placing her hands on your shoulders. She smiles, tiredly, and sits back down on her bed. Sighing, she grabs one of the cookies and takes a bite.

“So, I didn’t find anything after you woke up,” she explains, “Though, if you don’t want to talk about that right now, its fine,”

~Thanks,~ you sit down next to her, ~I actually wound up doing a lot of work tonight...shop is the last thing on my mind,~

I dunno, there are a few things you’re trying to push further, like that da...wait, no I’m holding onto that one for a bit,

Glancing to the side you frown, with a sudden weight of confusion against your seemingly daring inner monologue. Okay, maybe you are trying very hard not to think about your masks. Maybe you aren’t trying to think of the implications of a stolen sliver of the Sun’s starseed resting inside of Keiko. Maybe one hundred other things.

“Onto other topics then. You’ve gotten taller,” she regards you critically, before her eyes grow wide and she smiles, “Did anything else happen?”

>write in
>Anything you’d like to ask or tell Usa

>>34688063

Break down crying as the sudden realization hits you that this is the first time someone has asked you that question since you started again and EVERYTHING has happened.

>>34688063
I actually kind of feel like telling her about everything.

Starting with Keiko, then the missing girls, and finish with telling her about our date.

>>34688137
People have tried, but we've been evadive to non-dad and non-kairi people.

>>34688063
Let's see, what non-shop stuff has happened?
Reconnected with Kairi, made a new friend, opened up to another friend more, and maybe helped them with ttheir feelings for each other. Cool week in tjat respect.

Feels off to suddenly open this much to her.

It's been a busy week.

>>34688063
>ask or tell Usa
Ask whether she's started a date with a throat punch or a kick to the face.

>>34688332
I agree.

>>34688435
We just kicked off a date with a street fight! She never did that! We hope she never did that. Shit, that was a date?! Why did we just realize this now?

>>34688435
I'm pretty sure she hasn't. Sasha seems a lot more high strung than Helios.

Writing

Look out, I'm loose!
Unexpectedly freed from other obligations and raring to go.

~Oh, you know,~ you lean back against the wall and grab a cookie, ~reconnected with Kairi, made a new friend, helped another new friend helped one friend admit her feelings for someone. Ugh, actually everything in between that IS shop,~

She nods and wipes a few errant crumbs from her lips.

“Heard your school got blown up,” she side glances at you and snatches another cookie.

~Oh yeah, Usagi’s would be big bad was trying to kill one of my classmates,~ you grouse, ~Managed to scare him off,~

“Why was he trying to do that?” she’s getting comfortable around you as her cadence changes.

~She’s Beryl reincarnated,~ Usa spits the cookie she was in the middle of eating across the room, ~Oh calm down. I took care of it,~

“Beryl. End of the Silver Millenium Beryl? How do you just handle that?” she sputters.

~I set her free tonight, ree from the past. Also,~ you flash your fangs and nip into a cookie, ~Metallia was delicious,~

“You little glutton,” she rolls her eyes.

~Hey, takes one to know one,~

“Well, at least we aren’t Koyomi,”

~Could you imagine if there were two of her,~

“At least mom grew up a little bit,”

~Some girls have gone missing...its weird, their friends stumbled onto realizing it because they couldn’t remember them ever existing,~

“Sounds like shop talk,”

~Well, yeah… its all I’ve really got to talk about,~

“What about Kairi? Or your new friends?”

~Kairi is now my Nephrite Knight,~ you make a dismissive gesture, ~Its complicated, but I’m sheltering the Shintennous stones from dad’s office. Finding them successors. One of my new friends is an Alien. The other was Beryl,~

She nods, a bit mystified.

“Huh, it really has invaded every aspect of your life then,” she muses.

A curious thought strikes you.

Curiously set in motion

~Well, maybe not entirely. Usa, have you ever started a date with a throat punch or a kick to the face?~ what you’ve said strikes you suddenly.

You never catch Usa’s reaction as your cheeks burn and your face drops into your hands. Oh my god it was a date. You and Sasha were on a date, and you’d only just met him...AND YOU ASKED HIM OUT! And the things you said to him...you told him your name. You told him your name when you were Red Eyes, and the things you said.

Dude, I missed you. I tried to get something like an agreement on the next panel participants, but I just can't wrangle these cats like you can.

>>34690397
After all, its at least half the reason we brought it up.

Theres no point in being the little sister of you can't make your elder sister blush

>>34690454
It's because you don't properly advocate the advantages of melee combat.

>>34690665
My magical origin is somewhere between control mage and blaster, so I'll have to admit I don't really feel the CQC.

It goes blank, your mind. Your face snaps up, expression as empty as your current ability to think. Breathing quickly and shallowly, you turn to your sister as you feel the tingling undercurrent of true panic writhing deep under your skin. The edges of your vision becomes tinged with fractured black and then recedes.

“A date? Sounds more like a street fight,” she regards you curiously, “What happened,”

~It was a street fight,~ you blush, ~It started as a street fight. Its something I do, kinda embarrassing,~

“Not surprised. Probably takes the edge off that anger,” she muses.

~I started it,~ you blurt out, ~because he wanted to test himself against me, I...put on a wig and I’ve gotten a bit of a reputation,~

“My my, Mikage you’ve been a very bad girl since you hung up your tiara,” she smirks.

~No, it isn’t like that. I’m preventative. I stop punks from growing up into thugs and keep the peace,~ you say proudly before dropping to a near whisper, ~by being violent,~

“So, you’ve got a rep and he wanted to see where he stands,” she nods, “Does he have a name? Does your reputation have a name?”

~Yes, yes they both have names,~ you stare her down and blush, ~He was there, so I snuck up on him and his bike and tried to scare him. And he caught me in the throat in reaction,~

“The brute! And then you kicked him in the face?” she sits up and leans forward, giving you her attention and concentration.

~He isn’t a brute. He’s sweet. And yeah, I kicked him in the face. I couldn’t breath and it was...exhilarating. Most people I wind up throwing down with are nothing...but he was special. He challenged me,~

“So, did you win?”

~y-yeah,~

“Was he a sore loser?”

~No, he was happy. He said he wanted to go again some time. Usa,~ you ask her pleadingly.

“Yes?”

~I want to fight him again, does that make me a masochist,~ you ask in worry.

She holds her chin and hums. Turning away from you she hunches into her self. You lean in on her curiously and she springs up to face you in a moment of eureka, causing you to fall back.

“That, or a sadist,” she concludes.

~Usa, I’m serious!~

“So what, exercise is exercise. High heart rate, thrill of victory. You, dear sister, thrive in conflict,” she assumes and shakes her finger at you, “There isn’t any harm in that. So what happened next?”

~Then I asked him into the MgRonald’s and told him he was buying...and we sat and ate and talked,~ you pull your pigtails down, in your anxiety doing a fair imitation of Koyomi’s go to nervous habit, ~And he brought me a gift, latest volume of a comic we both like. T-then I left,~

“Sounds a bit like a date. How was the goodbye?”

You burn. Cheeks flush with radiant crimson as the words play across your memory.

~He offered me a ride home...and I said if,~ you smoulder in embarrassment, ~I declined...but...oh god I said that, I said I’d rather not ride in the side car and he called me forward. I mean, I didn’t mean I wanted to...ARGH! I meant a ride on his bike, right? Right?~

“This is so cute,” she swoons.

~It isn’t cute!~ you contest loudly before stifling your volume for the late hour, ~I mean, I don’t swoon over guys or stuff like that,~

“And why not?”

~Because falling in love can hurt,~ you admit with an edge of anger.

“Hmmm...and here I thought you’d gotten closure on that,” she muses as she takes a cookie you left unfinished and absentmindedly dropped into your lap and taps the extra fang indentation in your bitemark, “greedy guts,”

~Don’t tease me about this! What do I do? What do I do!~

“Ask him out again,” she nods, “Or don’t. Ask someone else out. Say, what color wig were you wearing?”

>Write in

>>34690933
"That one's black." You do realize you just told her there's more?

>>34691023
Yeah, this feels right

Yep. My god going through a tethered phone line and it's awful.

>>34690933
That one is black.. wait, why am I asking you, you've had your romantic life all settled longer than I've been alive, and now he's out of dreamland, all pat and perfect. ..Gah, I don't end up all complicated and airheaded like Koyomi, gaahh~

>>34691193
Saying this knowing out of character that Usa's got some very complex relationship issues to work through with people. Bueno. Could lead to interesting counter-sharing from Usa..

Thats an interesting reaction.

Now I wonder what Usa and Helios get up to behind closed doors, when they think they're in absolute private.

~That one was black,~ you admit, wait.

You do realize you’ve just told her there’s more.

“That one?”

~Yes. That wig which I fight in is black,~ you attempt to salvage.

“Any others?”

…

~Why am I even coming to you with relationship problems,~

“So you admit you’re in a relationship?”

~I DIDN’T SAY THAT,~ you growl, ~You met your one true love before I was even born, and now he’s out in the world pat and perfect for you,~

She flinches back at that and looks away for just a moment. Then she hides it beneath a sly smile and redoubles her efforts on you.

“Nothing and no one is perfect,” she replies sternly, “And even if I appear so trouble free to you, I’ve seen my fair share in those around me,”

~I’m sorry,~ you shrink at her stern voice, you honestly didn’t come here to be antagonistic, ~I didn’t mean to hurt you. I’m trying to make us work, sis. So, Usa, if you need to you can tell me what’s wrong,~

She sighs and leans back and sets her hands behind the back of her head.

“I dunno, minnie-me,” she scolds you with an old nickname, “think you could handle learning your perfect big sister isn’t. You sure you want to hear my own dark and scandalous problems?”

~Usa, you are literally a fairy tale princess,~ you grouse and yawn before point to your fangs, ~Besides, I’ve already seen everything you felt guilt and negative emotions about,~

Leaning forward and crossing her arms, Usa looks up at you as you rub the building exhaustion from your eyes, choking it back.

“That’s because I had no guilt about this until I learned my Helios was back to me, and upon our moral plain,” she swallows, “Fairy tale princess. Maybe I am, maybe we are, but remember dear sister. A fairy tale is a cautionary tale, a warning and a message. Let this be my cautionary lesson to you,”

~Usa...you’re getting princessy,~ you observe the change in her speaking and the sudden stiffness in her demeanor.

“While Helios was lost to me in the waking world, I fell in love with another,” she confesses sternly and watery eyed, “And for that, until now, I have carried no guilt,”

Even if you let go of it. Even if you understood that those dreams weren’t your own. You felt the love Helios had for you...no, that isn’t right. You felt the love Helios had for Usa, and her own in turn for him. She...she betrayed that love? How could she?

Oh sister...what have you done?

To be fair, her boyfriend is a magic dream horse.

How could she?

I think because she mentioned scandal, she's implying she cheated on Helios. We know she didn't, really, but now she feels guilt over the coming perceived conflict between people she lives.

Checking thread

Awake, Omake around some corner.

Can't write this morning, it'll be up tonight when I am capable of thinking.

For now let's let you guys finish settling on next thread's after thread Q&A Character Panel

When we last left off, I think Rin, Chou, and Yoshi were pretty well settled on. We never did really decide whether the 4th should be Ryo, Amazonite, or someone else, though.

Miracle Child was suggested, but has been placed under a QM seal. Seek your answers elsewhere on the Loom of Fate.

>>34697910
>>34698413

I'll throw my vote in for Amazonite as fourth. Sounds neat.

>>34698413
>>34698866


I'm good with Amazonite as the fourth too.

>>34698413
I thought Ryo was settled and Yoshi was in the air?

>>34698413
Artemis vetoed Chou.
Which left the last decision at Rin, Yoshi, Ryo, and ??

>>34699335
Artemis vetoed Jonathan Ward Chou. Whoever that is.

>>34699348
By our theories, he's top dog on the enemy side, after any shadowy force that may or may not be over him.

>>34699408
Useful to know. In any case, he's a completely separate person from the Chou we were actually trying to get for the panel, who is the cute member of the Primroses.

>>34699542
Uh, that not the Chou I'd been voting for.

>>34699542

Of course we think the meek girl is cute. What about the overconfident try hard, or the wise and proud country bruiser.

>>34699542
I'm not in favor of that, Tim Curry could have been enlightening, but I don't see much use in hassling random girl.

>>34699828
She does seem fun to bully, though. And we could learn more about her forgotten friends.

Though on more immediate concern, HOLY SHIT are we about to get into a verbal fight with Usa?

>>34700218
Guess that depends on how Usa reacts/explains in response to us reacting in shock/disappointment.

Could be a blow up, I'm more expecting a heavy feels train (that perhaps we can bond further over her opening up to us).

>>34699828
She's was a friend of the Vanished, I think.

OMAKE

For all the cultural oddities of the human condition you have encountered, many of which born of human biological frailty, your favorite concept is that of regular sleep. For their artistry in the mundane alteration of natural flora and fauna into consumable forms of energy and sensation, your belief that their greatest artistry lies in the physical comfort of rest. Thread count, fleece, silk, satin, cotton, and any other vector of skin contact to comfort.

Your species know of sleep, but for extended hibernation from injury or for travel. It isn’t a necessary action needed for regular biological function. You’ve been dabbling in it, and found it a pleasant experience worth repeating and it did improve your day to day acuity. Sleep is your favorite guilty pleasure.

Tonight, however, your sleep is marred. Since beginning this ritual, you have learned you are what is known as a ‘light sleeper’. Normally, your lodgings are warded against extraneous external sound. Now, you are driven from the sweet oblivion of rest by incredibly loud noises coming from your living room.

Earlier in the week, you set your newly arrived siblings up in that space, replaced your existing couch with a pull out bed (you were not fond of Japanese futon mats), and began taking measures to get them into the world.

Rising from your egyptian cotton sheets, you stride from your bedroom and into the living room. There, your siblings sit side by side at the edge of the bed, watching late night animation with the volume super far up.

“Estra, why didn’t you tell us there were so many more seasons of Romance Dawn!” Terra cries when he notices you’re awake.

...you utter a prayer to your mother and father, for the strength to again be responsible for your younger siblings.

>>34708451
Suddenly it occurs to me that Kairi is probably going to end up meeting those two idiots. That's going to be fuuuuuuuun.

>>34708451
Poor Gai.

At the same time, it's best it's happening to him and not Momma.

>>34710003
It already happened to Usagi. Usa happened.

The time gate is still there, you know. Just because Mikage hates time travel and isn't going to do it doesn't mean she won't have a future daughter who'll become desperate enough to try it.

>>34710083
Didn't mean that Momma

>>34710083

But that would imply a third future in which things got fucked so bad that someone had to come back in time and create three connected divergent...

No...NO you guys are not making me think about how many time lines you can mince together.

YOUR MADNESS WILL FIND NO PURCHASE IN MY CREATIVITY OR NOTES FOR SEASONS TW-

...actually if I take things to thre-

No. FUCK NO!

...fuck...

>>34710172
The seed has been planted. Now I need only await the coming of our Great Leader.

>>34710172
FWIW, I'm pretty sure that Usa is about the only thing keeping her timeline in existence.

Well, that and the potential for this timeline and the Crystal Century to become the same timeline again. But again, either Mikage or Usa is the problem there. One of the two would have to cease to be to recollapse the waveform.

>>34710120
yes, yes it did.

But I'm pretty sure she'd get them straightened out pretty quick.

>>34710332
Oh man, she gave them such a lecture. Papa Tsukino came home in the middle of things, saw his wife screaming at pointy eared and strange colored children who looked guilty and shamed, and carefully backed out of the door unnoticed.

>>34711237
Times like this really makes me wish we had that omake.

>>34711316

Maybe in the future I'll start doing some call back omakes?

Thanks, I'll look forward to them if you do.

Slumber calls, I hope everyone had fun this weekend.

Just humor me before we fall off board and post your four person panel listings based on what we've discussed so far as a final vote.

Next panel I'll probably just ask folks to suggest one character each and take the first four offered, seems like it would be quicker.

>>34714137
>I hope everyone had fun this weekend.
one of the few bright spots of a generally miserable weekend.

>>34714137
Honestly, that was how I thought we were doing it this time. Otherwise I'd have suggested 4 people instead of just one.

I think my preference for 4 would be...
Chou (Primroses)
Kino Kanari
Luna
Sugao Saito

>>34714137
Ryo
Koyomi
Yoshi
Mamoru

>>34714137
Past times we reached consensus easier, we we seem less unified for discussion choices this time around.

It's hard to care too much: There are rarely any bad choices when it comes to Q&A time.

>>34716637
True.

It happens, the lack of consensus.

All we can do is carry on.

>>34720265
Also true.

>>34729480
Yes!

>>34729480

So, just double checking that you guys had fun this thread?

Well, this is still kicking around. Gonna try for another Omake later today.

>>34744205
Yay!

>>34744205
yeah!

Omake

Paw on the mouse, you click the icon and watch the few frames of video replay. The internal security of the secret room beneath the Crown Arcade recorded the first access to the room by the Karaoke Parlor key card portals you spent so much time installing.

It wasn’t one of the girls, despite your clever plan to land the key cards into their hands, it was one of the arcade employees. Thankfully he closed the door immediately, as if trying to deny what he saw. The whole thing was troubling.

This kid knew Koyomi, and after seeing the war room he was going to have questions. He had left a basic and vague query on your phone about reopening the Karaoke lounges, not something you can just ignore for long.

Licking the back of your paw, thoughtfully, you consider your options. It may be time to reopen the lounges to cover for the girls, and it may be time to have a serious talk with Yeon about the things he saw.

Things wound up working out with Furuhata all those year ago, so perhaps this boy could lend you a hand beyond his normal duties as your employee. Employees, right.

You do have a slew of paychecks to sign. Holding the pen between your two forepaws, you scribe your assumed name across the first of the stack of checks. It is difficult work, but you’d rather not expend the magical energy to assume human form when you’ll likely have to spend most of it to maintain that form for most of tomorrow.

So absorbed in your work, even with your feline senses, you fail to notice to door slide open. As you slide the first paper over and sign the slip beneath it, you fail to see the shadow spread across the floor as the intruder to your demesne inched closer to you. It isn’t until your nose twitches at the faint smell of catnip that you are alerted to danger.

>>34746858

A wool knit mouse drops before you and bounces on the end of a string, its fabric soaked and dried in chemicals pleasing to your senses. In surprise you reel back into the padded high backed office chair, almost coughing a hair ball in surprise.

“I got you a gift!” exclaims Venus, looming over the armrest above you.

Since its late and its within the confines of Aino Manor, the girl is wearing her simple pajamas and no wigs. Her hair is all but buzzed off, as she does once every two months in case she has need of another...procedure.

Your heart is pounding quick, that was terrifying. When the hell did this girl learn to be quiet!

“Don’t sneak up on me like that!” you yowl at her.

“Aw. Don’t be mad, Arty!” she sniffles and scoops you up before dropping the cat toy into you, “After you saved me and gave me my wand, I wanted to do something nice for you,”

“That’s appreciated, but I’ve got work to do and I can’t really afford to spend too much of tonight high on catnip,” you already feel that pleasant drifting sensation fill you from its proximity.

“Wait...catnip is cat drugs?” inquires the youngest Senshi in thought, “So does that mean I can’t give the other mouse to Little Diana?”

End

>>34746858
Ah-ha! I wondered about the ownership of that place.

>>34746879
Not catnip for moon-kittens, I guess.

>>34748146
There's always big Di.

>>34748704
She might take on the burden and responsibility of caring for any catnip sent baby Diana's way.

>>34749360

Well, as alluded to earlier, Big Diana is quite the party girl. If offered, she will take the catnip mouse meant for her younger and tend to its use in quiet dignity.

Cue house music

>>34749396
Which in turn makes me wonder if Sasha is down with hard house music, and whether they would run into each other.

When he's not training more rigorously.

How is this still here?

>>34751985
Huh.. that's raises some interesting questions in my mind about what Mikage's melee and CQC training looked like this past week. Sure, I imagine part of it was brushing up from her time as Moon and stretching out old muscle memory, but there had to be a lot of fun mindscape training and voice in the head coaching from the Shitennou driving the past week, particularly in learning how to take advantage of opens for extra damage. Which does help explain why we haven't done much else while Kairi was grounded.

>>34753911
Earth magic and slow-burn conversations.

>>34753996
>Mikage's melee and CQC training looked like this past week.
She didn't really do any so much as dived right back into the deep-end.

Fortunately everything went better than expected and I'm sure that nothing that happened is going to come back and bite her.

>>34754391
Well, the CQC was specifically opened up by having the Four Heavenly Kings with us.
Also her new focus on precision, versus her angry Sailor days that seemed to focus more on strength tactics with Titan's Rage, Whirling Frenzy, and some mythic boosts..

>>34753996
I imagine something like http://youtu.be/1EjohkZPuBU but without needing as much help stretching and more time spent training on where to hit people when you've got an opening.

>>34753911
Probably because we still haven't picked a Q&A panel. Unless random roll borne insanity counts.
That and we like chatting about things.

>>34754391
Oh I know certain things will come to haunt us, some of which I'm considering trying to work in our favor when the time comes.

Okay, so, you know the lineups that are leading for that Panel, lets finish and nip this in the bud before we fall off board. We're still 100+ posts away from Autosage, so we've got time.

Also, am I hitting enough relationship drama notes for you guys in this quest?

>>34759262
I don't want to talk about the panel anymore. I'm still mad that you gave two completely unrelated characters the same name. If it turns out they are related, I'll gladly take that back.

Drama's cool, though. I mean, it's obvious who Usa's talking about, but that's not a bad thing. Maybe we can convince our sister that reverse harem is a good thing! Bwahaha!

>>34759490

Well, I may have mispelled J.W. Chou. The last name should be Chinese, so it should probably be romanized as Chau (pronounced Chow).

Chou is that one Primrose's nickname, pronounced as Cho (long o) and is written with the Kanji for butterly.

>>34759551
this was me, dropped trip

>>34759551
(蝶) Well, that was surprisingly easy to find. I suspected that was the reference on her name, but I hadn't really figured that it was a nickname. If only cause I can totally see naming a girl that.

If that guy's name is Chinese, it's probably one character too, but I don't really into Chinarunes. Japan uses them differently.

>>34759490

Unicorns have this thing about purity, though.

>>34761425
Luckily the horn was the golden crystal, and he is a Pegasus

If we survive another night, how about another Omake?

>>34762202
Sounds fun to me. Last couple have been pretty cool.

>>34759490
>>34759551
Aw, I was hoping they would be related and some strangeness there.

>>34762202
Always fun!

>>34759262
I was a concerned we would hit them too hard, but we seem to be toeing the edges of relationships in a way that feels right for Mikage, complete with Red Eyes giving her a good splash.

Panel suggestion mentioned so far this thread:
Amazonite
Rin
Chou (Primroses)
Kino Kanari
Luna
Luna (Crystal Tokyo)
Sugao Saito
Ryo
Koyomi
Yoshi
Mamoru

Rolled 8 (1d11)

>>34763496
Well, if you want a fresh random roll from me, here's one:

Rolled 2, 10, 9, 11 = 32 (4d11)

>>34763683
Derp, 4 needed..

>>34763696
>>34763496
>2, 10, 9, 11
So that would be Rin, Yoshi, Koyomi, & Mamoru?
I dunno, I found the three rolls that wanted two Lunas more compelling.

>>34763496
Luna, Rin, Ryo, Amazonite

>>34763496
Amazonite
Mamoru
Ryo
Kino

Well, if we count random roll guy, we've got at least two votes for four different people.

>>34763496
Kino, Ryo, and Yoshi sounds good.
Not sure on a third, alt-future Luna is an interesting suggestion, but Mamoru would make for an all-male panel.
Amazonite and a Luna on the same panel could be a fun interact.. though I'm not sure who to drop.
Uncertainty.

Uncertainty abounds.

Wait, Future Luna? Seems out of left field as she has yet to he introduced.

>>34761704
Well, that certainly gives some scope for reverse harem, at least.

>>34767465
Suggestion happened when random roller tried on the previous vote call further up thread and got Luna twice and again on the reroll.

>>34769199

Ah, well that explains the notion

Writing Omake

Omake

Fingers drumming against your arm, pacing in angry circles, you are unable to find momentary respite or focus. It had been meant to be a happy moment, instead it was marred by whoever attacked your friend. Whoever attacked your family.

Looking down at the bed in frustration, you curse whoever did this. The external damage was severe, but what had everyone more worried was the internal. Lingering magical poisons suffused her body, that she stayed transformed was all that kept them from overtaking her and doing...something.

The Princess told Michiru that one of her daughters had encountered something like this, and would ask her to try her hand at dealing with it once Setsuna was physically stable. Meanwhile, the two of you have been alternating shifts watching over her. The Paranormal Incident Task Force had done a good job of keeping your arrival and presence here unknown. It gave breathing room and would keep the public from getting too worried.

Still, for all your concern for Setsuna’s well being, you are frustrated. All this time, you and Michiru were never meant for peace. You were meant for war. When Setsuna fell, she didn’t go to who she knew could heal her, she sought out those she knew as warriors with her last conscious thought.

Dawn rises beyond the window, and all you can feel is a bubbling anger. At whoever attacked, that they’re hiding and haven’t made another move, and that they’ve derailed what you’d hope to have been a happy time. A happy time planning your future with Michiru.

>>34770207

Dropping your arms, you pull at the hem of your skirt. Maybe you should do something like the inners did, leave the old uniform behind for something more mature. Sighing, you think about that and of the future.

“You damn well better wake up,” you grouse and lean your forehead against the eastward window, “I was going to ask you to be my best man...though I think Michiru wanted you for a bridesmaid,”

The repetitive clicks and beeps of the machines monitoring her health and controlling the flow of her IV bag continue behind you in a lasting moment. Palpable monotony hangs in place of any strained or awkward silence that could have been. It is broken by a ragged laugh. Your eyes shoot wide as you spin to face the bed, Setsuna Meioh looks up at you weakly through half lidded red eyes and a thin smile across her lips.

“I think I’d look terrible in a tuxedo anyhow,”

End

>>34770207
>that they’re hiding and haven’t made another move
Hah!

BWT, as a new guy to the quest, what was Mikage Chiba relationship with Setsuna? and with Haruka and Michiru? and why nobody has talked with us or the new Senshi about Ms. Guardian of Time getting curbstomped?

>>34770793

I think Usagi mentioned there was an incident and asked Mikage to come to the Monday briefing.

And the Shintennou reported they eavesdropped on something in the house, I think.

>>34770967
Thank you for answering.
Still wonder what Mikage thinks of Setsuna.

>>34771005
So far, her only defined relationship with an outer is with her mentor, Hotaru.

Thanks again, Art

Wait, did that fight happen off-camera? I remember the beginning of it for some reason.

>>34771201
well, us meeting her for the first time *will be... interesting, given how the other two people in the 'crystal future' chip on our shoulder have gone.
* assuming she hasn't played with us when we were a toddler or something

>>34771473
Setsuna exists in the Future and in the Present.

Technically...no, I'm not starting this explanation or conversation. Time travel hurts my brain sometimes.

>>34771558
The only explanation that is ever necessary is "Timey-Wimey Ball"

>>34771473

Also, welcome to the quest. What drew you in?

>>34771558
Time travel hurts everyone's brain.

The big advantage the crystal future has is that you can basically say "magic, bitch" to any logical flaws.

>>34771818
Basically, there are two different possibilities I can see at play here, assuming we're not looking at some kind of desperate cop-out where we're some kind of holodeck fantasy for poor, lonely Usa.

>>34770207
>>34770223
Yay omake & yay Setsuna!

>>34770793
We did manage to learn of it through shadow eavesdropping, but they are trying to keep it on the down low.

>>34771265
Yeah, she got jumped at the end of the interlude the night we gained the Shitennou and made peace with our shadow. Then we saw her again crashing onto the beach near the other Outer Senshi following their proposal scene.

>>34771558
As the Guardian of Time that spends timeless ages watching sprawling branches of realities and decision points and so on, I imagine she is one of those fixed points, any Setsuna you meet is the same one, no matter the time or reality.

>>34772087
As opposed to being a slightly less immersive fantasy for s bunch of lonely neckbeards?

>>34772834
ouch, man.

>>34772087

Full disclosure. I've invested too much into this quest, and I think you guys enjoy this quest too much, for that kind of ending to not fly in the face of fun.

>>34772987
I am immensely pleased by this.

>>34775708
Doesn't mean I don't have some tear jerker and big symbolic season ends planned based on your actions.

>>34775774

So I've been convinced to actually try engaging in this Sailor Moon thing, should I start with the manga, the anime, the recent newer anime, or is it best to start with something else entirely?

>>34776030
I went with Crystal. It's been fine.

>>34776030

Glad you've asked that question. This quest is based in the extended afterward of the first Anime.

The First Anime is being re-released in sub and with a new dub for free on Hulu. The sub is up to episode 24 or so, and the release of the New Dub was up to Episode 15 last I looked. The sub is being released two episodes a week.

The new anime, Crystal, is based more closely on the Manga, but is taking its own new liberties.

The Manga is quite nice

>>34776151

So, start with the first anime and do whatever from there on?

Gonna be honest here, no show that contains based Toru Furuya could possibly steer me wrong, but I'm just making sure I don't accidentally make a terrible mistake.

>>34776207

The first anime is padded with a LOT of monsters of the week, spreading out the plot of the manga by a wide margin. Still fun, though.

How are you enjoying the quest, both you anon, and >>34771473 this guy.

>>34776251

I'm liking it so far. I only ever caught one or two episodes of a local language dub when it still aired here in an obscene time slot, but I haven't had a lot of issues following what's been going on.

Anyway, off to go torrent the entire original anime. I can take a little filler. If I could sit through the original Naruto anime's filler deadzone, I doubt this will make much difference.

>>34776251
I don't have beef with monsters of the week, so it was cool.
Need to get back around to my rewatching myself, left off somewhere in R.

>>34776251
The quest is really enjoyable. The only thing is I find myself occasionally confused by the cast, but a quick google usually sorts me out.

Excellent then.

Ugh, my creative energies were just rebuked by finding a soul crushing piece of my adolescence. My elder cousins managed to write on a project that turned into a cgi film in Korea. Scifi with Aliens and symbiotic giant robots.

I was big into that stuff then, giant robots, finding the disc amongst my nicnacs has left me frustrated and feeling unaccomplished.

Ranting over, traumatized girls doing cute things will return for a new Thread come Friday Night or Saturday mornin.

>>34778078
now you've got me really curious.

>>34778794
About the film or my use of the phrase traumatized girls doing cute things?

>>34779113
The former.

The phrase seems to make perfect sense in the context of Eclipsed Moon.

>>34779156
It really does.

Hell, the principle cast around Mikage is mostly trauma ridden in some way shape or form.

Kairi had her experience getting forcefully turned into a hard mode monster of the week by something wearing her father's face, and subsequent shunning.

Keiko has been hiding debilitating supernaturally induced voices and impulses she knows to be wrong since she was a child.

Midori hasn't ever really finished coping with her mother's suicide and until recently continued with behavior she found abhorrent, but did to make sure someone other than her was the outsider or other. Believing she would become the outsider or other if her secret got out.

Mikage, ooooh Mikage.

Meanwhile, the younger girls all have their emotional traumas which kinda evaporate because of just being friends. Well, except Koyomi. That kid is Teflon.

Kanari bounced bak from her anger towards her mom and Mikage.

Rin got to accept that there are some things she can't see, and that having that freedom and uncertainty is okay.

Aiha got to feel less alone about having powers, and is beginning to explore who she really is now that she can be comfortable around others and learn to control her abilities.

Venus...Venus has always been a brave and carefree little trooper whose simple goal is to feel loved by as many as she can get before...anyway, having real friends is changing that plan.

>>34779156
Movie not important, that and the listed credits would make it possible to eventually back track to me beyond the sweet sweet anonymity of the internet.

>>34776030
And when you've watched at least one anime, read Shadowjack's 'In Which I Watch' of the original anime. Google it. Highly recommended.

>>34779515
Yes, I realise that. Which is why I haven't outright asked.

But still, curious.

>>34779575
God I freaking love Shadowjacks WIW Sailor Moon, that and his comics on the subject are quite fun. His breakdown of the manga up to the end of the Dark Kingdom Arc was equally delightful.

Have you read his ideas for "Federation Space"? They're some text blocks and illustrations for his thoughts on a serial numbers files off Star Trek RPG.

>>34779583
Curiosity is good.

>>34779693
Given that now I'm gonna have to go on a mediocre korean animation watching spree, perhaps not.

>>34779720
How many can there be?

>>34780435
There are only 30 listed on Wikipedia.

>>34780435
the key word here is mediocre

>>34779648
I have not, though now I want to.

...Dammit, I was supposed to get stuff done today!

Are we back?

4chan wasn't posting for a while

>>34781145
Last several times I've tried to reply have been failure and site maintenance, let's see how this one goes..

>>34781145
Looks like it's working finally.

What have my careless hands wrought?! That may be too many films to sift through.

Indeed.

>>34785141
>>34785081

And potentially too many episodes of the original series...and too many threads and things to read through for ShadowJack's Where I Watch. And too many episodes if they also find out about the live action Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.

Oh yeah, there was a pretty nice live action Sailor Moon series.

I've borrowed a few idea for this quest from the Original Manga and the Live Action, such as the Four Heavenly Kings as stones, the outfits for their successors, and used a few plot points for a few characters...such as transferring some of Minako's big stuff to Venus in this Quest.

Guys, Decu announced he's doing another Drawthread, get your Requests for this Quest, other quests, & reference images primed for it.

Idle thought I thought worth sharing as I continue to work on characters and the like.

Kairi has eyesight just as bad as her dad, but has modern contacts.

She has glasses with thick lenses for emergencies, though.

As funny as the mental image is, modern glasses often have substantially thinner lenses than their equivalents, too.

We should try to get ones with Sasha on an outing with each of Mikage's personas. It'd be a hoot.

>>34786240
>>34786335
Maybe she'd got them because they were the same style as her father's, or she shared a similar prescription and one of his one ones has her emergency pair.

>>34793753
Okay, so each request will be it's own post, who among is can be up early enough to make the requests?

My player base may be comfortably small, but I appreciate all of your awesome enthusiasm.

>>34795843
to be fair I believe you have quite a lot of lurkers.

>>34796965
Lurker here. Can confirm.

>>34796965
It's like saying that the universe has a lot of dark matter. Is that knowledge of use to anyone?

>>34793753

We have created a monster

>>34798124
Correction. We are planning to create a monster.

The more I think about it, the more I imagine that Sasha would just be angry being forced to wear Center Guy stuff.

Though on the Ganguro front, do we went to come clean bout our identity at the Sunday meeting between our circle and Aki?

>>34797631
Greetings lurker, how are you enjoying things so far? As a mostly voyeuristic outlier of the ongoings do you have any unique perspective or commentary you'd like to share?

>>34798542
No real reason to come out at the meeting, the group is about being other people not mixing real identities in.

>>34798613
This is a recent discovery of mine. I'm lurking and familiarizing myself with your quest because I'm too ADD to actively participate in non-realtime roleplay, but I like what I've seen and I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes. I'll let you know if/when I have more substantial feedback

>>34799299

Thank you for your answer.

>>34799366
Thanks for the quest.

>>34799225
Indeed. The only people there who need to know have already been informed.

>>34799982
Honestly, I'm curious as to how much longer we can keep a lid on it considering how many know.

>>34801094
True, but if it's going to happen, let's let it happen naturally and then not make a big deal of it.

>>34793328
So, what, the Senshi start chasing rumors and being proactive about monster investigation and they happen on the local urban more than myth of Red Eyes. At some point Aiha reveals we keep a 'joke' red eyes account on Lurk, maybe they share stories with each other that they've heard. Then what? How do they find Red Eyes?

Rin can't bypass our divination blind spot as far as we know. The best they can expect is to get lucky to show on one of Arty's encounter rolls while we're taking care of Business as Red Eyes...or us deliberately showing up to fuck with them.

Heh, "This was a training exercise," at the end of it...or if it happens if we're on another Sasha date, we may just have to drop character and pull her ear.

>>34801740
Actually, taking Sasha on the prowl to jump the new Sailors sounds like it would be a fun date, as well as a worthwhile training exercise. We should seriously consider it.

Also, so you guys know that I have not forgotten, I have some fun in game fluff prepared when Divine Source goes live.

Congratulations, by the by, on playing into a concept I was considering, you object of worship/respect/fear/envy/heroism/etc

>>34802460
Cool. Looking forward to it.

Sailor Scouts have a knack for turning up in the places where the bad guys operate, so it's probably only a matter of time before that brings RedEye and the scouts into contact.

I encourage you to wonder if there might be a reason why it hasn't happened already. Usa seemed really quite nonplussed by our revelations...

>>34803096
She has been in England for who knows how long. And to be fair, she is snarky little Chibi Usa all grown up. Probably rarely plussed, like in the dream.

>>34801094
I don't think we are keeping Miki a serious secret anymore, not advertising mind you, but being more open about that side of us.

Well, time to turn in. I can probably squeeze in two REM cycles before Decu's draw thread where I will post my request. Good luck my friends with your requests and...ah nuts. I forgot to load my request for another quest onto my phone.

>>34803266
...Isn't the drawthread tomorrow now?

>>34806084
Just as well. Physical discomfort has denied me sleep so far anyhow.

>>34806258
Hope you feel better.

>>34807590

>>34807590

Thanks anon, I did wake up feeling better today.

Wow, this thread has almost late a week.

>>34793753

I hope Sasha finds a relationship with Mikage worth dealing with all of her scatter persona.

Or he could look at it like this.

Instead of dating 1 crazy girl, he's dating 5 slightly less crazy girls more focused in their mania.

Wonder how he'll react to learning we're Dan.

Also, we are getting closer to bump limit.

>>34810703
So we are. I'll actually be able to get shit done at work.

Tonight's Thread Watch time starts around 8. If i'm not running by about 9, then we wait for Saturday.

>>34810703
>Instead of dating 1 crazy girl, he's dating 5 slightly less crazy girls more focused in their mania.
More accurately he's dated one. Once.

301 posts.

Gentlemen it has been an honor.

>Gentlemen it has been an honor.

I thank you guys for participating in my thread. See you all later tonight. Just got the word that I'm out of work early.

So going to go and work on that OP now so I don't have to rush later.
