Quest Start


Your eyes split open to the dark of your room, the alarm clock above your head holds at 4:58, shifting in your waking bleary vision to 59. You stayed in last night, to process everything and finish resting. Now, you’ve woken up half an hour earlier than you had intended and feel physically better than you have in days.

Emotionally…

Last night, you dreamed your own dreams, had your own adventure. Uncertainty and odd perspective gave you freedom...and so you flew to the stars and reached into the impossible. This helped, it makes you feel better today.

Wasting no time, you turn to the side and sit up, groping for the clock to turn off the now unnecessary alarm. It’ll be dawn soon. A new day, and likely a busy one. Your now long hair cascades over your shoulders, pooling across your bed. By some miracle it did not tangle in the night.

You are Mikage Chiba. Your life is complicated.

We're up early, let's finally read that comic from Sasha, then leg day it out, finishing the run at the Shrine.

Not sure on hair.

Maybe do similar to bun and tails, but looping the hair up like this.

>>38265754
Kind of a half-step between the up style chibiusa thing and long tails.
I work with that.

Brushing your hair and folding it’s length a few times in a single high piece, its impressive length coiled tight and prevented from falling down to the floor. The higher than normal buns you’ve assembled are heavier than you’re used to, and to offset their weight you loop two lengths of your tails just above your shoulders before further coiling the remaining pink tresses. Packing a small backpack with a bottle of water, a towel, and the half finished comic you were reading last night, you fish out your clothes from your dresser and closet.

Shruggin on your athletic shorts and windbreaker you step into the hallway and pass by the open door to Usa-neechan’s empty room. Your big sister is still in the hospital, and after she gets out she’ll be taking a trip...far away. Your little sister’s door and your parents’ door are closed, likely sleep soundly behind them.

As you hit the stairs, you think back to the previous evening spent in the company of your family and forcing yourself to relax. Your reading last night while trying to wind down especially comes to the front of your mind. A friend had given you an imported comic which you had been following. After more than a week of not reading the book due to the chaos of your existence, it was nice to finally have a moment to yourself to enjoy it.

>>38265903
The continued parallels between your own life and that of your favorite character in the Hero Rena comic astound, and at this point, annoy you. Getting turned into a vampire, really? It makes you a bit upset that this arc looks to be coming to an end.

No matter. You hit the backyard and begin doing squats and lunges after a few quick warm ups and stretches. The activity slowly seems to be rousing the dormant stones melded into your hand, and you feel the return of Kunzite and Zoisite albeit not entirely awake. You keep at it until a bit after sunrise before leaving the comfort of the back yard for a rather long run. Your destination is clear, and you’ve got time on your hands.

>Think about dinner last night with the family
>Try and rouse Kunzite and Zoisite
>Keep bitching to yourself about the comic
>Try to commune with your shadow
>Think about something else, what?
>Think about someone else, who?

>>38265915
>Try to commune with your shadow

>>38265915
>Think about dinner last night with the family
>Try and rouse Kunzite and Zoisite

>>38265915
We need some focus.
Focus on the Job and how to help the girls.
And try to ignore the personal stuff right? Always running, and I don't mean Leg Day.

..I think my suggestion turned into our subconscious/shadow communing with us.

>>38265915
>Try to commune with your shadow

Writing

Your legs are on fire, but you continue to pump and send one foot after another. Pain and burn are necessary for growth. Continuing on your path are necessary to move forward. The mild euphoria of endorphins from these exertions make it easier to manage as you reach out into the back of your mind.

While your remaining phantom guests continue their slow waking process, you focus on the other voice in your head. The one you unclouded by the lies you sometimes tell yourself, the part of you that became wrapped in darkness, attacked you, and you subsequently accepted. She is

Yes?

Seems she hasn’t finished waking up herself.

<Just wanted to talk,> you offer as you turn the block.

Oh...well, there is nothing you don’t know that I don’t

<Yeah...well I’m worried that I’m still running away from everything,>

We would think that. No, don’t doubt yourself right now. You aren’t running away, you’re running toward something

You laugh to yourself in your ongoing stride, then stop as it hurts a bit to breathe in your current state. It may be time to get a new sports bra.

No, its definitely time

>>38266418
<Well that wasn’t what I wanted to talk to you about,>

And yet it was at the front of your mind. Anyway, its good we’re on our way to see Rin. We’ve avoided her for too long

<I wouldn’t say we’ve been avoiding her,> you think guiltily, <Things have been busy,>

Justify all you want, but we could have taken some time before...but you were scared of the vision you overheard her describing that morning to her dad

<Maybe I was…> you slow down for a moment but right your posture and power on through, <But I can’t run from that now, or…>

That place, you’ve had enough delays

She falls quiet as you slow down along the retaining wall of the five hills, its stone face broken by the steps leading up to the white archway to the Hikawa Shrine.

Climbing the steps, you enjoy the tranquility a moment before grabbing a long drink of water from the public fountain on the shrine grounds. Its still early, so you imagine only auntie Rei will be up and tending to her morning duties or prayers.

So...you have a bit of time to yourself, as you feel the Shintennou within you on the cusp of waking.

>>38266574
Lucky then anon, plenty of quests start even earlier.

>>38266432
>>Force Zoisite and Kunzite up early for a chat
These two are our probably our most outstanding responsibility.

Finding a quiet spot out of the way, you sit down on one of the benches in front of a large tree at the center of the public grounds. Its so calm, so you decide to let your mind wander a bit.

Taking out your phone, you open to your Lurk app as the red marker over the icon seems to be having a seizure. Flickering between 99 and 00. Inside, you find that you have far more notifications from the past couple of days.

It seems people are linking Red Eyed Beast on footage of your motorcycle stunt. Some folks saying that was badass, a ton of new followers, a few accusing you of enjoying popularity because of supernatural calamity, and a few people asking if you were alright and what happened after you disappeared.

A swell of pride and that powerful feeling in your core wash over you. Miki has far less traffic, but some discussion amongst the group about meeting up to try on the outfit prototypes for the fashion show and get fitted.

You while the time away by watching videos of yourself riding up Tokyo Tower, and then attached videos of the supposed “Dark Lady” appearing and leaping from the chaos of the tower after the giant monster. The urban myth account your follow links to articles and speculation as to who the “Dark Lady” is. A friend or enemy of Sailor Moon? What’s her connection to the Red Eyed Beast? What about Sailor Sol? The Red and Black swords women? Footage of you snarling through the smoke and being restrained by everyone.

>>38266786

One comment makes you close your phone.

‘Is she the third Sailor Moon returned?’

No. The third Sailor Moon isn’t back.

Should she be, though?

You almost miss the shadow falling across the ground in front of you, looking up you see a tall woman in the white and red robes of a shinto priestess with black hair that falls to a stop somewhere below her waist. She holds a broom and regards you coolly, your Auntie Rei. Rin’s mother.

“Good morning, Mikage,” she says in even cadence, “Are you going to make it a habit to visit the shrine in the early morning,”

>How do you greet your Auntie, Rei Kumada.

>>38266786
Oh wow we dont even remember that

>>38266806
>>How do you greet your Auntie, Rei Kumada
"I go with the flow"

>>38266806
>>38266839
I can back that.

>>38266806
Good Morning Auntie Rei, is Rin available?

If there is anything that Mikage does NOT do, it is go with the flow. She actively kicks, fights, and claws at it.
Which might explain that being shoved into such a different persona like Dan.

>>38266937
I agree. Not feeling any of these answers so far.

>>38266806
Maybe I should, Auntie Rei. I was hoping to talk to Rin today, if she is available.
Though it is nice to she you as well before.. you know.

Shrugging, you look up at the older woman.

~I go with the flow,~ before stowing your phone back in the bag, “but maybe I should come here more often. Is Rin available?”

She regards you carefully and smiles.

“I’m letting her sleep in,” she leans her broom against the bench and gestures over to the private buildings of the shrine, “She was up late last night with me for a few readings. And then she had a friend over last night, Aiha Mizuno. You can have breakfast with us, if you like,”

~Thank you, I think I will join you,~

“I just need to wake the girls up,”

>Okay, I’ll meet you in the dining room

>>38268107
>I’ll wake them
Time to look at Aiha's sleeping face.

Counting

>not helping her with breakfast
Anons are rude guests!

>>38268487
Sorry, anon. Mischief before decorum.

~I’ll wake them up,~ you smile and head over into the living quarters of the shrine.

You spent a fair amount of time here as a child, so you know the layout fairly well. It doesn’t take long to find Rin’s door from the interior courtyard of the living area. Sliding it open, you find the two girls sleeping on futons in the center of the room. Rin is curled around a cute mascot printed body pillow, her hair a tangled mess as she sleeps in calm serenity. Aiha is spread about wide on her futon, blanket tussled and twisted as she drools in her sleep.

You get a chance to take in the poorly lit room as you try to figure out how best to wake them. You could rock them both gently awake, flip on the lights, remove their blankets, or scream at them. If you wanted to be especially irresponsible you could use magic.

Rin has a fair amount of idol posters pinned across her room. A sizable collection of comics and academic books on her bookshelf, and a small sewing table off to the side of the room.

There is a sudden ache and pulse in your hand, the Shintennou will be awake soon. You briefly wonder if they were affected adversely by your experience.

>Wake the girls up gently
>Wake them up with no mercy
>Lets prank this, how.
>Write in

>>38268831
>Wake the girls up gently

>>38268831
>Wake the girls up gently
Fine, fine. I can only think of mean pranks anyway.

>>38268831
>Lets prank this, how.
I must admit, I didn't think this far ahead. I wonder if we could get Rin wrapped around Aiha without waking them up?

>>38268831
>Wake the girls up gently

>>38268898
Would probably be tough, but could try.

>>38268920
I forget what spells we have, and looking shit up on my phone is a pain. Do we have any magic that might be good for that?

Writing

Stepping into the room lightly, sliding the door closed behind you, you approach the girls and kneel between their futons. Extending hands to their shoulders, you shake them lightly. Both girls seem to resist your attempts. Rin curls more tightly against her body pillow, Aiha twists into her tangle of blankets further muttering nonsense.

With a sigh, you redouble your efforts.

~Wake up girls,~ you say with an amused smile, ~Its morning,~

Aiha sits up and looks around confused, with a groan.

“Mikage?” she asks uncertain.

~Hi,~

“What are you doing here? Where...oh, Rin’s? I came here yesterday,”

~So I heard,~ you sigh and turn your full attention to Rin, ~Rin-chan. Wake up,~

“Mph,” the black haired girl makes the sound into her pillow, “G-way,”

Aiha rubs the sleep from her eyes and fixes the sleeping girl with a focused glance. The buzz of ambient telepathy fills your senses. Her eyes open weakly and then she shuts them tightly before shunting herself deeper into her pillow.

Hmm, you may need something specific to get this girl’s attention.

>Rin, I’m going to tickle you.
>Rin, I want to ask you about “The Five,”
>Shake her more

(That was Rin's resistance)

~Rin,~ you say in deadpan dread, ~I'm going to tickle you,~

Aiha looks mildly shocked at your declaration, but seems amused with your threat. Rin doesn't respond in the least. The blue haired girl chuckles to herself as Rin ignores your threat and snuggles more defensively against her cutesy mascot print pillow.

~I warned you,~ you sigh and lift the back of the younger girl's pajama skirt and dart your hand to her side.

As your fingers lightly and repeatedly brush against her skin, Rin offers you a sharp and sudden intake of breath as she spasms in surprise and shock. The hyperventilating howling that follows is music at your command as you drive her from sleep in a way that grants her a smile. A pained and externally forced smile, but a smile all the same.

"Oh my goodness," Aiha blushes in her own amused laughter, "I thought you were bluffing,"

As the dark haired girl continue so spasm and roll, you adjust your positioning and glide your hands from one sensitive spot to the next, you offer the now tangled knot of black hair beneath you no mercy.

"St-AH-HA-P-P-HA!" Rin manages to squeak out between screaming guffaws.

~Oh? Are you finally awake?~ you chortle.

You think she manages to bark out a please as she starts trying and failing to scramble away. Aiha has begun full on laughing.

>Show mercy, she is already awake
>No quarter, this is what happens when you're ignored
>Aiha is too amused at her friend's suffering, turnabout attack!
>write in

>>38270173

>>38270438
Shit.

>>38270438
Ooh, I think that might be today's lucky number!

Just as Aiha gets to the crescendo of her own musical laughter at Rin's plight at your feather light fingertips, you release the dark haired girl from your ministrations and instead pounce on the blue. While she doesn't see it coming, she doesn't respond nearly as well as Rin did.

"Ah! Mikage-chan!"

Where Rin was screaming and howling at your tickle attack, which she now catches her breath from, Aiha is reserved and makes only half as much sound as she squirms uncomfortably under your attention.

She giggles and breaths sharply under your focus to your amusement and delight. She begs mercy and offers to surrender, but you take no prisoners while absorbed in your own amusement; so much so that you fail to see retribution coming.

You are caught across the back of the head by something soft an warm. Rin's body pillow rests on your shoulders as you are taken unaware.

"That was mean," Rin says groggily but with an air of menace.

Aiha, from her suddenly steely expression, shares her sentiment.

Sorry friends, my wife has sprung upon me running a makeup session for my Pathfinder campaign in...27 minutes...because half of my players including her will be spending the weekend at a post post apocalyptic zombie larp.

No interlude vote, but I may throw stuff down later tonight as write ups in apology for a short session.

Wait...is six hours and eight or so updates short? I forget these days.

Guess not having siblings or as many close friends until recently I guess they aren't as used to roughousing.

Interlude: Oak Leaves


You wait outside of your sister’s room, already dressed in your school uniform. After the past few days, your patience is wearing thin. Leaning against the wall, you grouse and check your watch. She’s running late again. For whatever reason, your twin has been avoiding you.

You are Koito Kino, and its painfully obvious since the start of the week that everyone else in your family has been keeping something from you.

“OH NO, I’M LATE!” your sister cries out as she charges out of her room, trailing her shoulder bag behind her.

“Well, waiting for you, now so am I,” you say in frustration and fall in step behind her.

“Huh?” your sister, Kanari, comes to a stop and turns on her heel to face you, “Bro? What’s up?”

You maintain your usual calm demeanor and begin to walk past her.

“I feel like you’ve been avoiding me,” you explain.

“What, nah you’re-” you don’t let her finish.

“Kanari! I know when you’re lying. I know you, mom, and dad are keeping something from me,” you say calmly and sadly.

She pauses, and looks down in guilt and then anger. Clenching her fist, she holds the shoulder strap to her bag tightly and turns away from you and starts toward the door. When you speak again she freezes.

“First you get mad at mom over something you still won’t explain,” you tick off, “Then you get into some kind of row with Koy- I mean, Chiba-san’s big sister. Just...what aren’t you telling me...and why have mom and dad been mopey since Monday...and what happened to-”

Its her turn to cut you off.

“SHUT UP!” she’s tensed up as the sound explodes off of her, “Just...I can’t. Okay. I can’t do this right now,”

There is conflict in her voice. Upset. Worry. Yearning. Strength. Weakness.

And overwhelmed by all of it...she runs down the stairs ahead of you.

>>38280111
The hallway is quiet, its oppressive and lonely. Taking out your thermal mug and taking a long drag, you sigh in defeat. That didn’t go the way you were hoping it would at all.

Taking out your phone, you dial the only person you can think of to help get to the bottom of just what is going on with your sister. The person she trusts most, her best friend. You hit send.

“Hi Koi-chan!” Koyomi Chiba chirps from your phone, “To what do I owe a call from you this morning?”

“I’m worried about my sister,” you say as you head downstairs and out the door, “And I was hoping you could help me figure out what’s wrong,”

I regret we didn't finish the ridiculous tickle fight/pillow fight.

It's cute.

>>38281618
Alas, we have work to do.

>>38281721

No no, an even more intense tickle fight.

With Rei involved this time.

>>38284691

There's at least one lost soul depending on this.

>>38280132
I'm kind of surprised they still haven't told him. What were they planning to tell him when Jupiter Sr leaves?

Poor unfortunate soul

>>38286589
She just needs a good tickle.

>>38287392
Eh, couldn't hurt.
GhostTicklers, starring Mikage, Rin, and Aiha!

You can't tickle ghosts.

That's just madness.

Forgot about that plot thread.

>>38292232
We definitely need to at least ask about it while we're here. I also like the idea of recruiting Rin and Aiha for a ghost hunt.

>>38294319
We don't know they are super good for lookin' for ghosts. What with Aiha's Ability to see the invisible and how Rin sees dead people.

>>38292232
Most importantly
Can she be ghost tickled?

I hereby declare this Rin & Ahia Day!
In which we discuss futures, visions, friendships, and help a ghost!

>>38295396
Step one, ask Rin about the five in her vision.
Step two: come up with how we know about that.
Step Three: Aiha becomes deeply concerned when she realizes how deep our schisms go re:Dan

>>38295396
We have a lot to do today. There is much to be done without ghost hunting.

Also, shouldn't she come to us?

>>38296885
I suppose there is a different sort of ghost to hunt. Or demon to face.
And yeah, they, and probably Kairi, should come along for that part.

>>38295659
Wait...why could Dan come up?

>>38300787
Because our freakout when we saw Sashy. They found Dan instead and we were having a freakout in the back of our mind.

>>38300974
Oh right, and we were in Dan mode when we first overheard Rin telling her dad the story...so it would be all "How do you know about that"

"Uh...uh...uh..."

>>38301784
Shouldn't need to go in depth on that.
Mysteriousness and all.. besides I suspect she knew the whole time.

>>38302238
We are kind of terrible at this secret mentor biz.

>>38303167
Obviously we need to start helping the young Senshi in our spare time in different ways. Or help Koyomi help them.

I bet solving their personal problems is a key to them getting gud.

Though I guess a few are on a time limit.

Help Aiha reconcile with her mother and help then understand each other.

Comfort Rin's worries about a future she is worried she can't change? Or something.

Something something cancer?

Resolve the electric discord of the Thundertwins.

>>38303167
>>38304221
>How do you know about that?
>Psychic.

>>38304221
I worry more about something something cancer than any of those others. Though I'm not sure if there's anything Earth magic can do about it at this level unless we get really creative.
I don't think Minako would appreciate us being 'creative' with her Daughter's heath.

>>38307740
Good point, we are incredibly psychic.

>>38307823
Artemis wouldn't Finish Minako's live action arc with Venus chan? would he?

>>38310476
Flesh of fallen angels.
Everything is peaches.

>>38268831

Wait...Rin has a hug pillow? A printed hug pillow?

Is it a cutesy mascot character or a different kind of mascot?

>>38304221
I agree with these notions.
Hadn't thought about reconciling Ami and her daughter before, but that seems like a good thing to take a stab at before they are separated.

>>38307823
Earth magic or divine Healing, if we can grow strong enough, we can find a way.

>>38311522
How would we go about doing it, though?

We need ideas. After we suffer retribution for our tickling shenanigans.

Well the Earth magic path seems to have some nice restoration abilities not available on the Moon path.
Also, the other divine domain we selected (but still need to tap into ICly) is Healing. To get to some of the higher tiers of that we'll need to increase or Mythic rank, likely through overcoming powerful trials of our powers and who we are. Commanding more of the Earth Nodes would likely help as well.
Also, we need to get some heroism and healing on display to open up that Healing connection like we did for the Darkness domain.

Hey, why don't you believe in her...

>>38316815
Who believes in you?

>>38316815
Believe in who? The blonde cancer patient who is slowly deteriorating or the schizo pink rabbit that has a half-dozen people living in her head?

...no one saw that as setup for the Kamen rider bit.

The one about even if there is no god or Buddha.

For even if there is no God or Buddha

There is Sailor Moon.

koobs would almost certainly ping as evil to any of the scouts, in person.

Adorable anime pictures however, do not have an alignment.

Kyubey did nothing wrong.

>>38327013

It's QB.

Trying to subvert the natural order of entropy is probably evil by definition, in much the same manner as necromancy is.

But trying to save all life in the universe because otherwise entropy would cause it to vanish probably isn't. Kind of like D&D alignment is fucking hogwash.

So they sacrifice a bunch of little girls on a planet that's overly emotional anyway. It saves the rest of the universe, what's the problem?

B'coz natural order. You're born, and you die. That's how the universe works.

If the universe needed you to live forever, it would have made you immortal to start with.

Destruction is understood to be part of that natural order. That is, for example, where Sailor Saturn comes in.

It's not always fair. But it is structured, and you don't mess with that structure without pissing off the antibodies of the universe, like the Scouts.

By the standards of Sailor Moon, QB's are just another monster of the week.

>>38327279
Given their tendency to buck death in the face, this might be a poor example.

>>38327853
That's the thing: They're exceptions, but natural exceptions - the universe made them that way.

>>38328073
Then the black moon clan was right about the moral failings of the immortality of Crystal Tokyo?

>>38328184
eh, balance can be found in a lot of different ways. That's why a multiverse exists.

Crystal Tokyo's universe is (presumably ) a functioning balance. Aside from the whole Usa thing,

>>38327853
I think a Senshi's beef with coobs would be less about their goal of offsetting heat death of the universe, and more about their methodology.

IE poor unfortunate souls.

So sad

So true

This on longing just to live,
This one wants to heal the boy
Does he help them? Yes he does.
But it happens once or twice
Someone couldn't pay the price

Wanna know a secret about the heat-death of the universe?

It's just the start of the next beginning. Expansion and contraction is the heartbeat of the universe.

Note: probably does not apply in the real world.

>>38329160
And Whose heartbeat is that?

Could the cauldron make a Senshi with power so great, she must exist outside the boundaries of creation her power must maintain & protect? Unable to intervene?

Carrot, I can accept.

But, he'd never take up the wand.

Sailor Disc, champion of something or other

>>38341547
I imagine Senshi on the disc would be a point of frustration to Death. I bet he'd be a bit flummoxed by their tendency to not stay dead.

>>38344522
Nah, its cool. Death of the Discworld deals with oddities all the time.

He generally only turns up when he has a Final Appointment, or some fecker starts messing with the Rite of Ashkente

>>38345116
Well, whenever someone uses that Rite, it's usually a good idea.

>>38345189
Well, if there are rites for summoning the anthropomorphic bod inner of death, there should be similar rites and rituals to summon other anthro things...

Like say the physical embodiments of celestial bodies and planets.

It amuses me greatly that what Kyuubey is trying to do is essentially give the universe a heart attack.

>>38348185
Makes you wonder, are his species pulling this shit on other worlds?

Is his form tailored to the operation on earth?

>>38350097
IIRC, they would if they could, but they claim that only human girls are capable of generating sufficient emotional energy for their needs, and they're not known for lying, except by omission.

>>38350097
It's implied they do. In one of the alternate timeline flashbacks, as Kriemhild Gretchen is about to destroy the world, Kubey isn't at all concerned about it. He just comments that he's filled his quota for this world, implying there are others.

>>38350973
Would witching out/being a meguca be something Sailor Moon could heal?

>>38351130
I'm guessing it'd be a Bad Day.

Hopefully we'll never find out.

>>38351850
I mean, she could heal the 7 Great Youma, and she could heal Phages and Daemons after their heart crystals/Starseeds were removed.

Megucafication seems like something her magic could take on, and barring that she could easily wipe away their despair.

>>38351881
The problem is you've got to deal with the fault lines of two broadly incompatible cosmologies.

There are fun ways to tie the two together, though.

Broadly speaking, Ascended Godoka is powerful enough to reconfigure how the entire universe operates. But we have a paradox, because it seems unlikely that the incubators would last five minutes in a universe in which Sailor Moon operates and thus Godoka would never ascend.

Unless Sailor Moon DOESN'T initially exist the first time around. Then, the events of Madoka become vague legend about evil darkness and luminous figures of light, of the kind we see in most magical girl stories.

This amuses me greatly, because in some sense it means that mahou shoujo mascots such as precure fairies are the fate that awaits the Incubators after Homura completes their forceful re-education.

Truly, a more fitting punishment for such hubris was never devised.

>>38352282
Nothing is incompatible if you look askance.
