She could still feel the sensation of some kind of threads pulling on her arms and legs, though it faded as she slowly woke up. Yawning and tossing back the covers, she switched off her radio-alarm clock and stretched beside her bed, doing a few exercises to wake up. <em>"Maybe I could pitch it to one of the guys at the studio, though...might make a good cartoon..."</em> she thought to herself as she yawned again. Never a morning person, Kurai walked into the kitchen and poured herself a cup of coffee, sipping on the brown liquid after adding a dollop of cream and stirring it in. "MMmph!" She swallowed hard, sticking out her tongue as she poured the rest away, "So old...." She said with a scratch of her head as she sat the mug down into the sink.<br><br>Moving on from her coffee, Kurai headed to the shower, stripping down and out of her pajamas and leaving herself as bare as the day she was born. The steaming shower water helped wash away the rest of her dream feelings, washing away her stress as well as she stood under the hot water and let it run down her body, water and soap rolling over the soft curve of her breasts and down between her thighs. She scrubbed up and went to scrub her hair, where she found something off within it, holding a few strands together. Washing the soap off her face, Kurai took something from her hair and found, of all things, a barrette hair clip within her hair, one that had definetly not been there the night before. A deep black crystal was in the hair clip, oddly seeming to suck in the light around it and something that she remembered from her dream as being part of the scythe in her dream. The tip of the crystal was shaped like a skull, an off-putting thing to say the least...yet she seemed oddly drawn to it. "Huh...weird..." She said softly, placing the barrette to the side for a moment as she finished washing her hair.<br><br>Getting dressed, she looked at the barrette for a moment, and shrugged softly as she put her hair up, clipping the barrette with it's odd crystal to her hair before checking herself out in the mirror. She was dressed up today, for there was a promotion for some new game, blood something, that she had participated as a voice actress for, and now they had signed her on to cosplay as a hunter character from the game. The outfit was a little...revealing, especially the small shorts, but over all it was a cute thing with a darling hat as well, though her barrette was clearly in view as well. Smiling to herself in the mirror, Kurai left her apartment and locked the door behind her after grabbing a small muffin to eat along the way to her Cosplaying job.

				<strong>Name:</strong> Sagawa Bunji<br><strong>Location:</strong> His apartment on the outskirts of Tokyo - The Sake Garden Bar &amp; Restaurant (Tokyo)<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Open<br><br><hr><hr><br><br><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><em>Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!</em><br><br>“Bun-kun! Bun-kun! You’re alarm is going off again!” his mother shouted. “Sleeping through his alarm again…he’s over-worked.”<br><br>The blankets slowly stirred. A hand snaked out from underneath the blankets to rise above the clock before his palm dropped heavily upon the off button. For nearly a minute, the hand did not move from clutching the clock. The blankets slid back as dark blades of hair sprouted belonging to the head of a man whose face was buried in his pillow. With a deep sigh, the man proceeded to groggily roll over onto his back. His eyes were still closed and brows pinched over them for he was upset to be awake.<br><br><em>It was a dream, but it had felt so real.</em><br><br>If only it had been. If only he didn’t have to continue to live in such a cruel reality. If only cruelty was actually a monster that peace existed around and slaying the monster was all it took to return the harmony. If only…<br><br>“Urgh…fuck me,” Bunji groaned before he kicked his ass out of bed. One day he would sleep in. One day. Tossing aside the covers, he was already in his boxer-briefs, groggily walking toward his bedroom door with his fingernails raking along his nuts. Why did mornings suck?<br><br>He entered the hallway and went straight into the bathroom, and it was possibly the dick in his hands that had kept him from rocking forward into the porcelain and wall. The shower hadn’t woken him up any. The knight’s forehead was against the wall of the shower while hot water rolled down his head and back. His eyes were closed as he began to slowly drift, easing back to sleep until the scent of eggs and toast wafted under his nose. Crisp, sky blue eyes then opened wider than they had been.<br><br>Was she making breakfast? Bunji finished his shower and with a black towel about his waist, he walked down the small corridor of the apartment to come before the kitchen to see his mother at the stove.<br><br>Frowning softly, he asked, “What are you doing?”<br><br>Matsumi was wearing a vibrant smile as she teased two eggs with a spatula. She shared her smile over her shoulder with her grumpy son and answered cheerfully, “Breakfast.”<br><br>“You should be in bed resting.”<br><br>“Yes, well, I’m wide awake and have all of this energy. I know that you’ve been working hard and so I wanted to make you breakfast.”<br><br>Bunji’s frown softened immediately. “You know you don’t have to-”<br><br>“I know!” she interrupted. She flashed him another smile. “I want to have breakfast with you, okay? Do you have time for that?”<br><br>“I do.”<br><br>“Great. Now hurry up and go get changed.”<br><br>Bunji stared at his mother for a few seconds longer before he turned to go change. Standing before the long mirror on his closet door, the knight was wearing black dress pants with a white dress shirt. He was watching his hands tie a black tie when he noticed a glint over his shoulder upon the dresser against the wall. His fingers stopped with the tie hanging loosely about his neck and turned around to curiously approach his dresser. Sitting on it was a pair of black gloves and a green and yellow gemmed belt buckle that made his heart trip and smack its face into the curb.<br><br><em>It’s fake,</em> he thought at first. Grasping the belt buckle, his face paled feeling how cool and heavy it was. Just like stone. <em>How the fuck did this get here?</em><br><br>Running his thumb over it, he glanced at his bedroom door questioningly. Did his mother…No, she didn’t have access to that kind of money, and he most certainly couldn’t afford an accessory like this. It had to be encrusted with emeralds and topaz! There just had to be an explanation. Marching out of his room while holding the buckle in the air, he once again came before the kitchen.<br><br>“Did you…buy this?” he questioned.<br><br>Matsumi was setting the table when she turned her brown eyes toward her son and her mouth fell open at the sight of the buckle.<br><br>“Wow, that’s beautiful,” she marveled before she hurried over to him. Taking the buckle from him, she weighed it in her hand and her brows shot upwards at how genuine it felt. Had it been? “It’s real! Did you buy this for yourself? We’re you saving some money to splurge? I’m so happy for you and here I thought that you were too worried sick about taking care of little old me.”<br><br>“Are you mental? Why the fuck would I buy some smarmy shit like that?”<br><br>Matsumi gazed at her son fearfully. “How did it get here then? Did you…do you think that you might have brought it home on accident? Maybe someone left it at the bar.”<br><br>Scratching his head in confusion, he answered, “There’s also a pair of gloves on my dresser. I don’t recall bringing those things here. Especially that, I would remember that.”<br><br>“Well you must have. How else did it get here? You know it wasn’t me. You won’t even let me leave the house unless you’re there to watch me. Have you been drinking?”<br><br>“Of course not!”<br><br>He had to calm down. Turning his head to hide from her the anger that had reddened and hardened his face, he breathed and brought his sharp eyes back around to his mother.<br><br>“Look, I don’t know how it got here but I will take it back, including the gloves. I’ll put it some place safe until the owner comes back to claim it. Okay?”<br><br>Matsumi had her arms crossed before her chest and was glaring suspiciously at her son before she sighed and lowered them. Taking ahold of his tie, she finished tying it for him, pushing the knot up to his throat.<br><br>She smiled warmly. “I used to do this for your father.”<br><br>Bunji’s eyes lowered to the ground and he said nothing.<br><br>“You’ve grown into a handsome man like him.”<br><br><em>I’m nothing like him…</em><br><br>“Have you heard from him? He hasn’t called me. I think he has a new phone. He never answers when I try to call him.”<br><br>“He’ll come back. He’s just busy…like me.” He forced a smile and raised a hand to rest his hand upon his mother’s bare scalp before he gave the top of her head a kiss.<br><br>Matsumi giggled, “Do you still think my bald head is lucky? I swear you think it’s a crystal ball. I should probably buy a wig.”<br><br>Bunji grinned and patted her head. “I like you this way. You have nothing to hide and you’re still beautiful.”<br><br>Blushing softly, Matsumi lightly punched his strong arm and said, “All right, enough. Come on. We have to get you fed and off to work before you’re late.”<br><br>The two sat at the table like a family; laughing; smiling; like the good old days. It was short but sweet, something that would get him through the day and he was actually glad that his mother had made breakfast. She kissed him on the cheek and saw him out the door as he walked over to his bike.<br><br>“You be careful, okay, and I don’t just mean on the street. You better try not to get into any fights.”<br><br>Setting his black helmet upon his head, he fastened the buckles and replied, “I’ll try. You get back in bed.”<br><br>“But I feel so much better. I think the treatments are actually working.”<br><br>Bunji smiled that was good news. “Just keep resting please.”<br><br>Sighing softly, Mastumi nodded. “All right, just so I don’t turn you into an old man with stress. Please come back safely!”<br><br>“Hai.”<br><br><strong>The Sake Garden</strong><br><br>The knight had his bike over his shoulder and was carrying it into the bar and restaurant when a tall, lanky man dressed in a formal suit and tie approached him, “Sagawa-san, I am so glad that you’re here. There’s this strange man in the male bathroom. I think he’s been there all night!”<br><br>Bunji blinked in disbelief. “Geez, and here I thought you guys checked the place before you close down.”<br><br>“He’s hung over and refuses to leave the bathroom until we make him a prairie oyster.”<br><br>“I’m on it.”<br><br>“Thank you!”<br><br>Stowing his bike, Bunji unbuttoned his shirt cuffs and began neatly rolling the sleeves up his swollen forearms to his elbows. Abruptly, he kicked open the bathroom door startling the drunk who sat upright against the wall in a start. The drunk’s wide and frightened eyes took in the sight of the knight.<br><br>“I-I want an oyster! My head hurts!” he declared.<br><br>Slipping a hand into his pants pocket, Bunji removed the pair of gloves and the sparkly belt buckle. Holding the items out to the man, he questioned, “Hey mate, do these belong to you?”<br><br>The drunk stared blankly at the items before he slowly shook his head.<br><br>A long and wicked smile curled on Bunji’s lips as he tucked the items away.<br><br>“Arigatou,” was all he said before he marched over to snag the drunk by the back of his shirt and yank him to his feet.<br><br>Screaming and twisting about to get free, the man’s shoes couldn’t even find traction upon the floor against the force that was carrying him out of the restaurant.<br><br>“Come back when we’re not closed!” Bunji roared before he shoved the man out the backdoor into a pile of trash cans.<br><br>The owner appeared in the door after the bouncer left to give the drunkard a fox-like smile before slamming the door closed. The chef was a saint!</span>

Eventually regaining her (limited) composure, the meek bookworm got out of bed and made her way to the bathroom for her morning shower. A bit groggy from sleeping and the terror that disturbing dream, she hardly noticed the sapphire as she stripped down and turned on the soothing water. As Satomi lazily reached for the shampoo, she was caught off guard as she found herself gripping a stone that soon slipped from her wet hands, After a couple minutes of slippery hijinks later, the exhausted girl finally had grip on the blue object. She then realized two things; one, it was a piece of the trident from her dream (which she was glad that she was at least lucky to avoid getting stabbed by) and two, she now lacked any shampoo. Having just about enough with this morning, Satomi sped up her early routine, walking fully clothed to her web design course fifteen minutes later.

				&nbsp;<div class="floatleft">(http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc446/ffxivghost/UsagiPossible/038.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Mesu&nbsp; <br><strong>Location:</strong> Her Apartment&nbsp; <br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Open<br><br><hr>With a start young Mesu awakens, a loud gasp escaping her lips. She sits up abruptly, her arms outstretched as if reaching for something. She stares wide eyed into the dim light of her bedroom… and then slowly her hands lower as she frowns to herself. Weird.. dream…. Mesu glances around the room, seeing it’s indeed her room. Yes, that was just a dream. And she still has sleep to accomplish! She promptly lays back down in her bed, then turns onto her side, pulling her so comfy sheets tightly around her slim form. <br><br>And not 30 seconds later her alarm goes off. <br><br>She lets out a whimper as she clutches the sheets tighter, as if to try and fight off the annoying alarm. She mutters something about the alarm stopping, but it doesn’t. Alarms never listen to pleas from lovely young woman wanting nothing more than a few more minutes sleep. With the alarm still ringing, she reaches back blindly and kind of swats in the general area of the alarm clock to silence the dreadful thing. She misses once.. and then again.. and then thrice.. and then finally her hand finds the button to silence the alarm. Victory! <br><br>As she draws her hand back, it brushes over the new wand upon her nightstand. Without thought her fingers wrap about it, and she pulls it closer to herself as she snuggles under the covers once more. <br><br>Count to 10… and… <br><br>“Wait…”&nbsp; &nbsp; she murmurs. Her pretty eyes flutter open, and she holds the wand up a little to see it better. She lets out a short and surprised “Ah!”&nbsp; as she drops the wand immediately and sits up, scooting away from where it lands upon her bed. But it does a little bounce, and right off the edge of the bed. Mesu stares at the spot the wand landed wide eyed. What is that? Why is it in her room? One of her friends pranking her? ……. Oh god did aliens leave it?! In the briefest of moments she has a genuine terror attack, she pulls one of her fluffy pillows close to herself and looks around the room discretely and with much fright. No.. no aliens in there watching her. Whew. Still, the mystery remains. She sets her pillow aside and crawls to the edge of the bed… now peering over (her eyes only going over that edge), she looks down at the wand laying upon her carpeted floor. It’s… it’s so beautiful.. <br><br>Feeling slightly (slightly) less frightened, she now leans moreso over the edge of her bed. She stares down at the wand as she scowls to herself. She’s seen it.. somewhere… was it in a movie? Something she saw in a music video? No.. no nothing like that.&nbsp; &nbsp;“Where did you come from?”&nbsp; She asks the wand.. and then actually waits a couple seconds for a response. If one of her friends left it there.. did she watch some movie with them and completely forgot about it? She’s done that before. She watched the Godfather on 3 different occasions, never realizing until the 3rd time it was the same movie she had seen before. Now tentatively she reaches down, her fingers lithely wrap about the staff of the wand. Slowly now she sits up in her bed as she stares at the lovely crystal wand… it’s in the shape of a moon. She turns it over in her hand a few times, just inspecting it curiously. As she does, she starts to vaguely remember… that dream! The one she had last night! She had.. some kind of staff with this same symbol! Her eyes fall closed just a little as she stares at the crystal crescent moon shape, and she whispers vaguely&nbsp; &nbsp; “H..hikawa..”&nbsp; <br><br>She seems almost in a trance like state as she stares at the wand.. and then… her alarm goes off again! She jumps from her sitting position, the wand goes flying and she screams in surprise&nbsp; &nbsp;“Fiddlesticks!”&nbsp; The wand bangs against the nightstand, knocking her alarm clock off of it, and then both go tumbling to the floor.&nbsp; &nbsp; “FIDDLESTICKS!”&nbsp; She exclaims again as she scrambles to the opposite side of the bed, almost falling off of it as she leans over its edge, searching for the now missing items. Really really hoping neither is broken. She finds the alarm clock&nbsp; first, this time making sure she turns off the alarm instead of hitting snooze. Her other hand finds the wand, and she pulls it to herself once more, staring down at it. This thing can’t be from her dream, right? That’s like.. nowhere near possible. Maybe she.. set it there last night and forgot about it, and then dreamt of it. Or maybe one of her friends gave it to her, and she forgot about it, and dreamt about it. <br><br>Or the dream wasn’t just a dream. <br><br>She shakes her head as she clutches the wand, and then glances the time. And now she’s going to be late! She winces as she now leaps out of bed, almost tripping as she heads to the bathroom to get cleaned up, the crystal wand laying upon the bed. It doesn’t take her terribly long to get a shower and then dressed, and to do her hair. Only an hour. Almost a new record for Mesu! She jogs from her bathroom and scoops up her messenger bag.. it has the ‘jolly roger’ crossbones across its side.. and her steps slow as she passes her bed, staring down at the crystal wand almost ominously. After a few moments… she scoops it up almost and drops it into her already almost full bag, and she’s off. <br><br>What was she so afraid of being late for? Well breakfast of course! She sprints from her little apartment and down a few flights of stairs, passing by other college aged people. Most of them yell a greeting to her as she flies by them, and she merrily waves back to them, shouting a cheerful&nbsp; &nbsp;“Good morning!”&nbsp; to each and every one of them. She hurries out of the apartment building itself, running across the street to a small café there. And as she approaches, she immediately sees her friends already sitting at an outside table. She glances up at the beautiful morning sun.. the awful storm filled dream almost nothing more than a distant memory at this point. As she crosses the street, she yells towards her friends and waves fervently, a wide smile upon her pretty lips. They all turn and laugh as they wave back to her. She was usually the last one at this, their usual meeting place for breakfast on days before classes. She flops down in her usual seat as she smiles widely to her friends, and immediately all 4 of them start to gossip and chatter about what was on television last night, and the movies they want to see this weekend, and who has what songs on their phones. Important stuff. <br><br>Mesu orders her usual breakfast (when she’s with her friends like this)… an English muffin with lots of butter, pickled peppers, a rolled scrambled egg, udon with flakes of deep-friend tempura batter, and a can of Bubbleman grape flash soda. Breakfast of champions. Not really. Of course Mesu seems more interested in devouring her meal rather than talking this morning. While she loves her friends and spending this time with them… her mind is on that crystal wand resting nestled in her messenger bag.. she glances down at it every once in a while, unable to keep her focus. <br><br>After an hour or so the group finally disperses. As Mesu walk away from the café, she munches on the green tea mousse cake she just had to have for desert. Breakfast needs desert, every meal should! There is a certain cheerfulness to her stride, that wide smile not abating… despite the fact she’s heading to class. She has only one class today, luckily. And it is her favorite class, journalism and media production. Maybe someday she can be an anchorwoman, or something! How hard can it possibly be? She certainly has the lovely prettiness for it! <br>

It was still a little early, so there were only a few people mewling around, but soon she knew that there would be thousands of people all gathered to see the convention, and no doubt spectators for her and her fellow voice actors. Her soft fingers reached up and touched the skull barrette in her hair, feeling a small gleam of confidence from it as she walked forward and took up her place among the other voice actors and actresses, saying hello to a few familiar faces with a gentle smile. Her costume was form fitting, showing off the curves that she had been working hard to earn through diets and other things, though it was a bit too revealing. <br><br>An hour passed as everyone prepared for the influx of people. Booths were setup, different anime and video games were started as the technical ground work for the convention pushed forward. Soon enough, the doors opened, and the first people flooded through with the same electricity and vibrant life that was always at these conventions. Kurai smiled and waved in her costume, posing every so often for a photo, either alone or with someone. She even got a few autograph requests, though she wasn't as well known as a few other actresses at the same booth. She smiled and continued her routine, knowing everything to do to keep herself well maintained.

This allowed the meek bookworm to give more focus in the day towards the one thing she actually enjoyed participating in that resided away from the shield from the social world that was her apartment; anime conventions. She was even more excited that one of her favorite voice actresses, Kurai Jikan, would be attending this weekend's convention to promote the new "Bloodcore" video game. However, Satomi was much more interested in her due to her voice work in "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" as "Homura Akemi". <br><br>When the doors to the grand event finally opened, Satomi was one of the first attendees inside, decked out in her painstakingly worked upon "Madoka Kaname" cosplay. The slightly more confident otaku instantly knew her first stop, making her way to the Bloodcore promotion booth as fast as she could manage in red high-heels. "M-May I please have your autograph, Jikan-san?" She asked the huntress cosplayer as soon she got to the front of the booth, her stutter much less worse than it usually was. If Satomi had been a little less starstruck, she would noticed how attractive she was finding one of her personal idols.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://www.wikimoon.org/images/pgsm/shibby.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Hideki Daichi<br><strong>Location:</strong>Tokyo, Home<br><strong>Tagging:</strong>The Senshi and Jupiter Knight [mentioned]<br><br><hr>He woke up with a gasp. His dreams had never been so vivid. All the shouting, the out of this world techniques. As he wiped the sweat from his brow, he got up, simply in his boxers and stretched. Opening the blinds of his room, he would then notice an odd effect, a pocket watch. He picked it up and began to quizzically inspect it as he made his way to the shower, turning it on and turning on the radio on the shelf.<br><br>This watch, it was familiar, but then it wasn't. Hideki didn't recall ever owning a pocket watch. His fingertips grazed over the engraving on the back. A Rose. This gave him pause. That sword in the dream, that was a very specific motif and design. He opened the watch, and it seemed on time, and a very high class watch at that. <br><br>He felt the water coming from the shower. Now it was nice and hot. Stripping naked he stepped into the shower, letting the hot water wet his body, while a particular song came on the radio.<br><div align="center"><em>Let's hold hands, let's go to the beach <br>It's so emotional, just the two of us <br>You can see a moonbow in the sky <br>Goodbye, there's no way I'll cry<br><br>A dream to be smashed in the coming wind <br>On a night when stars fall, it turns into bubbles and dissolves <br>Even if the world falls into a deep sleep <br>We'll keep on singing <br>Until we surely meet again</em></div><br>The lyrics made Hideki zone out as the water fell over his body, rinsing away the suds of soap that were on him. He had glimpses of his dream again, that beautiful woman that he had never seen before, blonde, strong... Who was she? Had he met her before? No...no that dream couldn't have been real. That dream was the kind of stuff that the stories of Sailor V came from. A pretty girl in a sailor suit...<br><br>As the song was about to end the chorus came on one lst time, and Hideki quietly spoke along with it<br><div align="center">"A dream to be smashed in the coming wind <br>On a night when stars fall, it turns into bubbles and dissolves <br>Even if the world falls into a deep sleep <br>We'll keep on singing <br>Until we surely meet again..."</div><br>He paused as he shut off the shower, his thoughts lingering on these words. He then took the watch again and inspected it. he opened it and checked the time, his morning was escaping him and he had to get to school. he put on his uniform and grabbed his Kendo gear and got on his bike. He rode off, enjoying the fresh air, while still keeping in mind the oddities of the morning, that pocket watch now where the name implied.

Everything was to promote Bloodborne, a new video game that had just recently came out, though Kurai had only landed that job because the director was impressed by how she handled "Homura Akemi" in Madoka Magicka. The role was a lucky break for the young voice actress, but one that had propelled her forward quite a bit. She smiled and waved to a few fans, until one in particular came up, dressed as Madoka Kaname from the same anime. Red heels and a soft frilly pink dress, the young woman was a sight to behold and quite beautiful. Kurai found herself hesitating for a moment as she was asked for an autograph by the young woman, and she smiled lightly. "Sure, what's your name?" Kurai said with a gentle smile, taking out her pen. She grinned and signed out 'To my largest fan, Satomi Miyazaki' for Satomi in large, expressive writing and hearts dotting the eyes, and took another moment with Satomi's article in particular, signing a little extra. She smiled gently and closed the book, winking gently to Satomi. "I hear the last page is pretty nice." She said simply, handing it back to Satomi. On the last page of her autograph book Satomi would find a small message, "Lunch in 30 minutes. Meet at the Ohayo Cafe. ;3" with a small heart one either side of the message. Kurai turned away to attend to another fan without another word, knowing that her message would definitely be received.

She knocks on the door. Regardless of who answers the door, she says "Can I speak with Bunji Matheson, please?" If he doesn't answer, then the woman simply waits until he does. <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">In other words, you're not getting rid of her that easily.</div></div><br>To Bunji himself, the woman seems oddly familiar. Like you've met before, not long enough to form an opinion about, but definitely seem each other. If Bunji does approach, she smiles. "I was hoping to get a chance to speak to you. We have yet to meet, but I've heard a lot of good things about you, Bunji. I have...a small favor to ask of you." From out of her jacket, she pulls a small cardboard box. (http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/payday/images/4/44/Blue_Eagle.png/revision/latest?cb=20140412113521) "This needs to make it to the place on the card." Indeed, on top of the package is a card that indicates an address-why, it's just down the street from your house. How lucky.<br><br>"Of course, I don't expect you to do this without being compensated for your time. Should you make the delivery, I will ensure that a sum of 1 million yen is delivered to your doorstep." She smiles. There's something about this woman...she seems oddly threatening, yet, also calm and serene. "Of course, you can say no. You have the right to choose. But that much money...I don't make this offer lightly." <br><br>She pauses to allow Bunji to speak for the first time, still offering the package out to him. <br><br>Satomi&amp;Jikan<br><br>Faces can't hide under costumes-or at least, not with the ones selected. As the pair look at each other, both appear to the other as strangely familiar...this thought is broken by a young man wearing a 'wizard' costume. (http://img-cache.cdn.gaiaonline.com/8f4c131c00898af2b22e5d6f11a777f3/http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg180/ShadeDourden/Wizard-1-1.jpg) He chuckles as he passes by Satomi. "Well hey there Madoka, where's Kyubey?" He asks with a little chortle. While his demeanor is friendly, his eyes seem to pierce the soul as he looks at both Satomi and Jikan, like he's studying them for something. "Well, wherever he is, he's not here, apparently." He chuckles again, regardless of response, and walks away...he's much better at navigating the crowds then the two ladies, and seems to disappear into thin air once the pair's lost sight of him.<br><br>Mesu<br><br>Class passes without any real incident-the teacher isn't one for surprises. Just like every good anchor has a sign off, so does the professor-"Integrity Above All." She says as she dismisses the class. She seems to like hammering in the ideal of honesty and the value of fact-checking into her students. <br><br>As you're leaving the building, you stumble across a mysterious black cat...with what appears to be a golden crescent moon on its forehead. The same crescent as on that crystal you found this morning...well, whatever this cat is, it seems taken with you, judging from the fact that it doesn't want to go away. It nuzzles up against your leg and follows you wherever you go...though it does seem smart enough not to try and trip you in the process of following you.<br><br>Hideki<br><br>You really shouldn't get lost in thought while riding a bike. You nearly run over a white furred cat as you pedal. Of course, it shouldn't be lying there-wait, lying there? Upon a double take inspection, you notice that the cat seems to be wounded-it isn't bleeding, but cats have body language like humans do, and it's communicating loud and clear that it's hurting. Helping this cat would slow you down, but something in the back of your head-conscience, perhaps?-demands that you assist it...

The meek cosplayer soon became a bit more calm as the actress smiled as she continued look over her while signing it, listening as she spoke while handing it back with a wink. Curious what Jikan had been implying, she quickly paged to the back of her book, a mix of a blush and a smile lighting up on her face as the message was made clear. Filled with inner joy that her favorite actress would actually be taking time out of her day to spend, Satomi couldn't help but twitch in excitement every few seconds until she was caught off guard by a golden-cloaked male. While he had seemed friendly, there was something about him that just disturbed her. Relieved when the strange guy finally left, the excited otaku toured the con until it was time to meet Jikan at Ohayo Cafe, where she would be waiting at the entrance for her.

				<strong>Name:</strong> Sagawa Bunji<br><strong>Location:</strong> The Sake Garden Bar &amp; Restaurant (Tokyo)<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Mysterious woman, Open<br><br><hr><hr><br><br><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font">The Sake Garden manager was the first to answer the door and arched a brow at the silver-haired woman. She must have been one of those goth emo kids about Tokyo, and he was about to send her away until she said:<br><br><strong>Can I speak with Bunji Matheson, please?</strong><br><br>The manager frowned at the woman suspiciously before he cracked the door and called, “Sagawa-san! There’s a woman here to see you.”<br><br>The chef was in the back kitchen chopping spring onions. Over the rapid hammering of the cutting board, he simply replied, “We’re closed!”<br><br>Pretty much what the manager would have said, but he thought at least that Bunji would have known or expected her, apparently not. But she knew his name.<br><br>“Are you sure you don’t know her? She knows you’re name, and I mean you’re REAL name.”<br><br>Bunji stopped cutting and frowned down at the board. Glancing at the knife he was cutting with, he contemplated taking it with him. If he answered the door with a knife, then maybe the stranger would have went away. As much as it had sounded entertaining, he didn’t think that it was a good idea. Setting the knife down, Bunji sighed in exasperation as he undid his apron to hang it on a coat rack next to the kitchen exit. Stepping through the curtains, he marched to the front and opened the door wider as the manager ducked away. The expression that had first been on his face was one of annoyance, and the one that followed made his brows knit together over his eyes. He swore he had never seen the woman before but she felt strangely familiar.<br><br><strong>I was hoping to get a chance to speak to you. We have yet to meet, but I’ve heard a lot of good things about you, Bunji. I have…a small favor to ask of you.</strong><br><br>The chef watched her remove a small cardboard box.<br><br><strong>This needs to make it to the place on the card...</strong> He glanced at the label and said nothing. <strong>Of course, I don’t expect you to do this without being compensated for your time. Should you make the delivery, I will ensure that a sum of 1 million yen is delivered to your doorstep.</strong><br><br>Bunji posted a hand against the doorframe as a long and amused smile stretched across his face. He obviously didn’t believe a damn thing the woman said.<br><br><strong>Of course, you can say no. You have the right to choose. But that much money…I don’t make this offer lightly.</strong><br><br>As she offered the box to him, his eyes flicked down to it before they flicked back up to the <em>mysterious</em> woman.<br><br>“What is it a bomb? Drugs? 1 million yen? How about you give me 500,000 up front, and when the job is done, I get the rest? It’s the only way that I’ll believe that this isn’t a scam. If you don’t have the money, then you can bugger off. The restaurant’s closed, come back at noon and don’t waste my time again.”</span>

				Bunji<br><br>"It's neither." She said. "I wouldn't be in front of your place of business if it was something illegal. Are you familiar with the concept of a 'grey' market? Items that, while legal, are difficult to acquire? That's what's in this box." She smiled at the mention of cash. "Well of course. I wouldn't expect you to do something because of my <em>charming</em> personality." There was a car nearby, she opened up the trunk and removed a briefcase, then opened the case. The thing was packed with yen, full to bursting, even. She took out half the cash and closed the case, offering it to Bunji. "Go ahead. Open it up, check it all for counterfeits. You won't find any. I've got all the time in the world."

Open it up, check it all for counterfeits. You won’t find any. I’ve got all the time in the world.</strong><br><br>Bunji slowly and anxiously took the briefcase from the woman and ducked back into the restaurant. The manager had been standing by and eyed the briefcase that he brought in.<br><br>“What do you have there?”<br><br>Bunji set the case on a table and opened it to reveal the rows of bills inside.<br><br>The manager’s eyes nearly popped. “What-where-how? Where did all that cash come from?”<br><br>Grabbing a leaflet, he raised it up to the ceiling lamps and begged, “Help me check it please.”<br><br>The manager stepped over to grab a wad of cash and ran his thumb along the deck, smiling at the face of Fukuzawa Yukichi. Sliding out a bill, he took a lighter from his pocket and burnt a corner to inspect the color it gave off.<br><br>“It looks legit to me,” he told Bunji. “Did that girl give it to you? What does she want you to do kill somebody?”<br><br>Bunji lowered the bill and stared at it shock. “I don’t know…she just wants me to deliver a box.”<br><br>“Then deliver the box! Are you crazy!”<br><br>“I’m a little scared…what if that box is meant to hurt someone?” he asked and then pointed at himself. “What if I get blamed for it? I can’t go back to prison man. I just can’t.”<br><br>“Then I’ll deliver it! With all that money I’d just bail myself anyhow!”<br><br>“No!” Bunji angrily exclaimed. He snatched the wad of cash back from his manager and returned it to the briefcase. Closing it, he picked it up and carried the case back to the door. It made him sick what he was about to do…he really could have used the money to take care of his mother, but how could he explain to her where he had gotten it all? Even if he hid it in his bank account, she would have suspected something different. Maybe he could have stored it all in a savings account…No!<br><br>Opening the door, Bunji thrust the briefcase back at the woman.<br><br>“I got work to do. Go find some other sod to deliver your box.”<br><br>“Like me!” the manager tried to yell passed the brute. Bunji turned an ugly glare over his shoulder and the manager smiled nervously. “Actually, I’m quite well off being the manager of the Sake Garden.”</span>

				Bunji<br><br>"Keep the cash." The woman says, placing the small box back into her jacket. "It was nice meeting you. I'll be in touch."

Her breathing was ragged but quickly calmed down once she figured out that whatever she was seeing had been nothing but a dream and she was still in the safety of her bedroom in her family mansion in Tokyo.<br><br>The blonde let out a sigh of relief before falling back to her pillowbefore putting the back of her hand on her forehead as she thought to herself, 'What was that dream... it felt so real but... the woman in that dream... was so unlike me....'<br><br>Her thought was interrupted by the sound of knocking against the mahogany door of her room followed by the voice of a female from the other side,&nbsp; "Ojou-sama, your mother told me to wake you as breakfast has been served." The blonde pushed her blanket away before stepping out of her bed, revealing that she is completely naked underneath. She yawned once before answering the female, "Thank you, Sakuya.Please tell okaa-sama that I will be there shortly."<br><br>After the maid's confirmation, the blonde head toward her adjoining ensuite bathroom for a shower before remerging half an hour later while using a towel to dry her hair yet remained as naked as when she entered. Once her hair is satisfactorily dried, she combed them before finally heading for the door. As if unconcerned by the fact she was still in her birthday suit, Mizuki stepped out of her room and heads toward the dining room.<br><br>As she entered the spacious room with a long table fit for a dozen of people, she noticed that her mother was sitting at one of the chair next to the head and more importantly equally naked as she does. Despite her age of 42, the woman still looked very attractive and exuberate the aura of maturity and wisdom.&nbsp; In fact, many had commented that the two Izumis had look more like siblings rather than parent and child due to their uncanny resemblance. The empty chair at the head of the table told her that her father had gone to work, leaving only her and her mother in the house with only the maids and butlers as company.<br><br>Mizuki sat on the chair across the woman before a maid approached from her side and put a plate containig fresh toasts, several strips of bacon, a pair of sausage, grilled tomato and scrambled egg. As the maid left, a butler came with a steaming pot of tea before pouring it on the cup next to the plate, "Good morning Ojou-sama, today's tea is earl grey with a touch of lemon to accompany your english breakfast."<br><br>After thanking both of them, Mizuki started eating her breakfast when her mother finally spoke, "I heard you has plan to go out later, dear?” The younger blonde nod once as she answered, “Yes, mother. I promised Liliana to take her shopping at Roppongi.” The woman smiled kindly at her daughter as she spoke, “I see, I wished she had come to visit more often. She IS your petite seour, she shouldn’t feel so estranged from us.”<br><br>Mizuki shook her head, “Mother, you know as well as I that she isn’t someone to be subjected to our family tradition. You and I are prepared and raised with this for years… She’s not. I would hate to have Liliana felt forced to comply along with us. She might have accepted it but I know that she is still uncomfortable with it, no matter what she actually said otherwise.” The older Izumi let out a sigh as she conceded to her daughter’s point, “If you say so, dear. Why don’t you have Asagi accompany you two at Roppongi? He can also take her home once you’re done, for safety’s sake, if nothing else.” The younger blonde nod once, “As you wish, mother.”<br><br>Soon, breakfast was over and Mizuki retreated back to her room to prepare while the family butler went to fetch the car. The 18 years old finally reappear from her room, clothed this time in pink sleeveless turtleneck and plain white miniskirt with matching white shoulder bag hanging diagonally across from her left shoulder and rested against her right hip. She put on her shoes and waited for a moment for the car, an obviously brand new black Mercedes, to pull up in front of the main entrance.<br><br>Once she entered the car’s back seat, the driver steered the car through the spacious garden and out of the automatic gate before taking the highway toward Roppongi shopping district. The trip had lasted for a little over an hour due to the traffic before it finally stopped at the public parking lot in front of the Roppongi station. Mizuki immediately found her Petite Seour waiting for her near the entrance of the station and immediately called out to her, “Gokigenkyou, Liliana.”<br><br>The other girl, a brunette with wavy shoulder-length chocolate hair turned to her and smiled brightly as she answered back, “Ah, Gokigenkyou, Onee-sama.” Mizuki smiled at her gently, “Did you wait long?” the girl shook her head, “I have just arrived, myself, Onee-sama.” The blonde patted the other girl on the head gently before offering her hand as she spoke, “Is that so? I’m glad…. So… shall we go?” The brunette smiled even brighter as she took the hand cheerily, “Of course, Onee-sama.” Thus both girls started walking toward the main shopping district hand in hand.

It’s a field that fascinates her, and she knows she could excel in it. But her mind just isn’t in it tonight, she just can’t seem to focus on the instructor. She really likes the instructor, she does. But today her mind is just lingering on that too real dream. On the too real wand that she now carries in her messenger bag. <br><br>She now strides out of the building.. and she almost falls right on her face when she sees the cat. She doesn’t want to step on the poor thing! But she gets her footing quickly, dropping her bag as she turns to make sure the cat is okay.&nbsp; “Oh, watch yourself sweety!”&nbsp; &nbsp;Mesu says in a happy tone, smiling widely to the odd little black cat. As she’s leaning down to the cat.. she notices the crescent mark upon it’s forehead. Huh.. well that’s odd… she’s heard that people sometimes see what they want to see sometimes. Like.. clouds. But she doesn’t really think anything of it.. again her mind is just distracted! Her gaze lingers upon the cat as she scoops up her bag, and she then turns to start to walk away, waving goodbye to the cat. <br><br>But the cat doesn’t give up. <br><br>Mesu jumps a little when she feels the cat nuzzling against her leg as she walks. She laughs delightedly as she looks down at the cat, trying not to step on it.&nbsp; “Come on, sweety, I have to go!”&nbsp; She says as she still laughs. She tries to walk for a few more minutes, but the cat persists. She stops at a near bench, and she plops down, setting her bag next to her. She leans down and scoops up the cat, holding her lovingly and gently in her arms as she looks around.&nbsp; “So where’d you come from? You’re lonely, huh. Well I’ll be your friend, and we can find your family. Would ya like that?”&nbsp; The entire time she speaks to the cat, she’s gently stroking it’s ears.&nbsp; &nbsp;“Okay, let’s go!”&nbsp; &nbsp;She now stands, carefully pulling her bag onto her shoulder while still holding the cat. <br><br>She walks with the little kitty around the courtyard, looking for any posters or anything declaring a cat was lost. She keeps the cat cradled on her arms like a long lost love, almost protectively.&nbsp; “Well nothing here about someone losing you, sweety. I guess I can ask around..”&nbsp; &nbsp;Now Mesu actually does have things to do, she does have an agenda today. But.. someone needs her help. Someone seems lonely, and in need of a friend. And Mesu is more than willing to put her life on hold just to help someone. Even a complete stranger. <br><br>Even a cat.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w124/Twin-Dragon/Kosame_Hisakaki_1.jpg)</div>Name: Mizuki<br>Location: Tokyo (Roppongi shopping district)<br>Tagging: Open<br><hr><br>Mizuki was walking around browsing the shops with her beloved Petite Seour by her side and both are having a blast. Though they are at the shopping district, both girls basically content themselves with window shopping and only bought a few things that interest them. While they were walking around, more than just a few people turned to take a look at them… or specifically, the blonde of the two.<br><br>&nbsp;Being a rising star in the entertainment industry, Mizuki cannot help but attract attention from people around her.&nbsp; Fortunately none of them actually did more than simply looking, Roppongi was known to be the place for upper mid to high end products and therefore it wasn’t a rare thing to find famous artists there so the pair doesn’t really stand out… well… at least not as much as the would had they been at any other ward than this one. Otherwise, she would have been flocked by people the moment she stepped out of the car and that would totally ruin their day….<br><br>&nbsp;As they entered a jewelry store geared toward young consumers like them, an item inside the showcase caught the older girl’s attention. Seeing the older girl’s reaction, the younger brunette couldn’t help but take a look at the same item before commenting, “Oh my God, that’s… so pretty and cute~” The blonde simply nod silently while her eyes remain glued to the jewelry as if she couldn’t believe her eyes.<br><br>The item was a tiny orange jewel in the shape of a heart and attached to a charm-bracelet made of white gold, the surface of the stone gleamed under the light of the display which gave it a glow that made it look like a gold colored diamond. Though it was breathtaking in its beauty, that wasn’t what caused the blonde to stare at it… it was the fact that she had saw that very same stone before… just this morning, in fact… in her dream… “Her bow” had been decorated with it at its center. It might have been several times larger in her dream but there was no mistaking the glow the stone gave out.<br><br>While she was transfixed to the jewel, a shop attendant approached the pair and spoke with friendly tone, “Good afternoon, is there anything that interest you?” Mizuki turned to the young woman before pointing toward the jewel, “That charm bracelet… what is it made of and how much is it?” The attendant looked into the case with puzzlement before turning back to the blonde, “Umm… please excuse me for a moment….”<br><br>The attendant left the two for several minutes before coming back with a man wearing an obviously expensive suit behind her. The man looked into the display before commenting himself, “Weird… I don’t remember ever seeing this item before….” He turned toward the blonde before addressing her nervously, “Good afternoon, I am the owner of this shop… my employee here said that you are interested on this item but… unfortunately, I’m afraid we are unable to give the information you seek…. I think that this item had been mixed up by accident and we cannot, in good conscience, allow this product to be sold in case that it had been an item with… questionable origin or of lower quality.”<br><br>Mizuki looked at the item in display once again before turning back to the man, “How much?” The man spoke again nervously, “Umm… I’m sorry but… I told you that this item wasn’t for sale and….” The blonde narrowed her eyes as she spoke again, “I know, I heard you the first time. I ask you again, how much?” <br><br>The man gulped nervously as he opened his mouth to object once again but this time, Mizuki wasn’t in the mood for arguing, “Listen here, I will buy this entire shop if that is what it takes to get my hand on it but I’m asking politely here. Understand that I am NOT asking for your permission and this is your last chance to give me the answer I’m looking for. Otherwise, I will place one call and this shop will no longer be yours, do I make myself clear? Once again, how much do you want for this item?”<br><br>Even Lilianna was now looking at her strangely as if she no longer recognized her as she spoke, “Onee-sama?” However, the blonde ignored her as she continued to stare at the man with narrowed eyes. She knew that she was being rather forceful and acting quite different from her usual self but something inside her, her instinct, was screaming at her that she need to have that thing in her possession.&nbsp; Finally, the man took one last gulp before answering, “Tw… Twenty million….” At which Mizuki’s expression instantly changed into her usually warm smile as she asked, “I’ll take it, do you accept credit card?”<br><br>It was ten minutes later when both Mizuki exits the shop, the bracelet with the golden diamond now dangling on her left wrist. Once they were outside, the blonde looked at the small clock tower nearby before turning to her petite seour, “I think it’s time for lunch. Why don’t we find a café and take a break, Lilianna?” The younger brunette nod at her as they went to a nearby café and took a seat at one of the table outside.<br><br>Both girl placed their order and waited for the waiter to leave with it before Lilianna braved herself to ask her Grande Seour, “Onee-sama… what happened in the shop before? You seemed… different. Just what is so special about that bracelet?” Mizuki looked at the girl across her before bringing her arms up and fingered the jewelry before answering, “I’m sorry, Lilianna but… I don’t know…. I know I was acting weird but... It was just… something told me that I need to get this item… I know I’m being rather vague but I can’t really explain it more than that.”<br><br>The brunette looked at the jewelry now dangling on her beloved Grande Seour’s wrist before answering, “If I doesn’t know better… I’d say it sound like that one ring from Lord of The Ring… but I don’t seem to be having uncontrollable desire to own it… and you’re not saying “My Precious” over and over like Gollum.” This time, Mizuki just had to laugh at her Petite Seour’s comment, “Oh, how could you… Are you comparing me to Sauron, Lilianna?”<br><br>Now, it’s the brunette’s turn to giggle, her fear eased as her beloved Onee-sama had gone back to the personality that she knew and love as she answered, “I don’t know, Onee-sama… I certainly couldn’t imagine you as Frodo.” This time the “Older sister” pout cutely as she replied, “Now you’re just being mean… just because we’re the same height now and you seem likely to surpass me soon doesn’t give you the right to call me a midget.” Soon, both girls laughed together as the tension crashed and burn as they enjoyed their lunch.

He felt he simply had to take it and find some help. He picked it up and put it in the basket on the front of his bike. "Don't worry little buddy, help's on the way" he started peddling again, frantic, looking for an animal hospital. He was going to miss first period at this rate, but that was just study hall. He stopped a moment, examining the cat, with a sense of familiarity. He didn't own a cat though. What was with these feelings this morning?!

He made a quip about Kyubey before leaving the two of them, though Kurai still felt strangely off put by the man. She put it out of her mind, however, as she smiled to another fan and continued on, watching Satomi move away with a little bit of a larger smile on her lips that her fan had gotten the message easily. Soon enough it was time for a break, and a replacement star was brought in for Kurai as she smiled and waved to a few fans, heading back stage for the convention. Everything was prepared, even civilian clothing for her, and so she swapped out from her current costume into something a bit more comfortable, tossing on a flowered shirt, jeans, a light jacket, and even a hat with heart-shaped sunglasses to disguise herself...wouldn't want to be mobbed by fans outside the convention, after all.<br><br>Satisfied with herself in the mirror, Kurai smiled and left out of the convention, blending in with the crowd as she walked towards the Ohayo cafe, where she could already see Satomi standing at the entrance. She grinned and walked to the young otaku. "Hey," Jikan said with a soft smile to Satomi, wondering if she would recognize her immediately. She gently lowered her shades a little bit, winking to Satomi, "Disguise, though it probably needs some work." Kurai said with a small laugh. Though the two had never met before, Kurai felt a small familiarity with Satomi in the back of her mind, something that had pushed her to make contact with the lovely woman and also put her at ease around her somehow. "Mm, let's head in. I'm starving." Kurai said with a smile, leading the way into the cafe, where she and Satomi were seated. Kurai ordered a glass of lemonade to start, and once Satomi's drink was ordered the waitress serving them stepped away for a moment to let them look over the menu. "Been a fan long?" Kurai asked Satomi with a easy smile, already knowing what she wanted to order.

				Nakamura:<br><br>Your first class has a substitute teacher for the day-most subs just do whatever the teacher had planned, and while this guy does to, he seems to actually know what he's talking about for a change. His name is Mr. Utada-he's a pretty cool sub. Any other classes you have are the same old, same old, everyday stuff-granted, your usual international macroeconomics teacher doesn't ever take a day off, which is why it sticks out so much in your head.<br><br>Mizuki<br><br>As you were leaving the jewelry store, a rather large, muscular gentleman entered. He seems to glance down at that bracelet on your arm...but he seems more interested in speaking with the shop owner, as he approaches the counter and asks for the owner of the shop in what you can only describe as a thick Germanic accent. Still, what impact do random German people have on your life? Shrug shoulders, move on.<br><br>Hideki:<br><br>As soon as you take the cat and put it in the basket, it stands up and meows. "Took you long enough!" It says-yes, the cat TALKS-in a distinctly male voice. "I was supposed to find Venus, but I suppose you'll do for now." He looks up at Hideki and chuckles at the rather stunned Hideki. "Oh, you're a little shocked, are you? Well, after that odd dream you had last night, and the surprise of that mysterious pocket watch...well, I suppose you could still be surprised. I'm certain you have a lot of questions, and since we're not currently hip deep in monsters, ask away."<br><br>Mesu:<br><br>Once no one else seems to be in earshot, the kitty actually speaks-yes, speaks. "I'm not lost at all, Usa-oh, that's not your name this time, is it? My mistake. Still, it is good to meet you again, Princess." The cat says, in a decidedly female voice. She sounds motherly and caring, and her body language suggests that she regards Mesu as one of her children. "My name is Luna, and I'm here to help you. You had an odd dream last night, didn't you?" She asks. "Evil creatures falling before your mystical might, or something similar? Well, not exactly a dream, Princess. A vision." She leaves those words lingering in the air...

As soon as she heard the woman's voice though, the anticipating fan exactly knew the identity of the person standing in front of her. "D-Don't worry. I-It fooled me for moment." She assured her kind idol. calmed by her kind smile. She then followed her inside the cafe and happily took a seat with Kurai, ordering some lemonade as well. "Y-Yes. I loved your voice acting as Homura in Madoka Magica." Satomi replied with a light smile, her meek personality coming in handy for once in that her subtle voice didn't alert the public to the celebrity's presence.

Kurai said with a smile, since Satomi obviously hadn't changed her clothing, though cosplayers were normal at a convention so no one would even think twice. The two could just be random friends meeting at the cafe for all anyone knew. "Mm..." Kurai stretched a little bit on her seat, accentuating her curves a little in front of Satomi, "Feels so good to be out from behind that table, though....I love my fans, but it gets boring sitting in one place for too long, you know?" Jikan said with a smile to Satomi. "I assume you go to the college nearby?" She asked Satomi quizically, since the young woman seemed to be the studious type, judging from her demeanor. Kurai hadn't yet gone to college, having went into voice acting shortly after graduating high school, something she hadn't planned for at all but was glad that it happened.

Did she eat something weird (well weird for Mesu) and now she’s having some kind of hallucination? Did someone drug her, and now they’re gonna steal her kidneys? But as Luna continues… her fear subsides slowly. As if she starts to trust the words from Luna, the feeling behind them. She sits up a little from her spot on the ground, her head tilted to one side.&nbsp; &nbsp;“Luna..”&nbsp; she says softly. Like.. lunar.. like the moon.. like the crescent shape she’s been seeing everywhere.. <br><br>“I..” the little kitty speaks of.. so much.. Mesu just can’t wrap her head around it.

The meek cosplayer responded with a blush, her feelings of personal attraction towards her idol becoming quite clear to her as the stretching gave her a nice glance of her curves. She responded with a light nod, easily seeing just how stiff and unfocused one would get from sitting in one spot for hours on end when she thought about it. "Y-Yes, I major in web design. I attend a few of their courses, though I mostly participate more on the online options from my apartment." Satomi answered. As the waitress briefly returned to take their orders, the calm bookworm ordered the "Konichiwa Curry".

Kurai said with a small laugh. She sipped her lemonade slowly, the Otaku's attraction to her being a bit noticable...though that was why she had invited Satomi out to lunch anyway, wasn't it? Aside from her familiarity, of course. Kurai found Satomi to be lovely on the outside, though she couldn't say if there was a spark between the two just yet, not so early! Soon enough their food arrived and Kurai smiled softly, picking up her chopsticks and placing her hands together. "Itadakimasu." She whispered with Satomi, before picking up a sushi roll and plopping it into her mouth, smiling at the taste. "Mmm....so good..."

				Mesu<br><br>"Yes, I am a talking cat. Or at least, I <em>appear</em> to be a talking cat. But still, I am the least odd thing you're going to be seeing." She chuckles at her joke. "If you're wondering how I know so much about you, the visions, the crystals-you DO have that crystal, right? Anyway, this has all happened before. At least once. Maybe again, I cannot say. But that's not the important thing-the important thing is that you are Sailor Moon." She grinned in a way only a magical talking cat ever could. "You have read the stories, the supposed 'fairy tales' of heroic Sailor Senshi fighting evil? Well, the tales are embellished-Beryl was also never that ugly-but those people actually existed. And now, those gifts have passed on to new guardians." She sighed. "A whole lot to take in, isn't it? You'll catch up eventually, dear. We're not hip deep in monsters at the moment, you can take your time."

The meek bookworm replied, glad as it seemed she wasn't futzing up the conversation like she usually did with her shy quirks. Even though it was going well and they had a few things in common though, her inner doubts didn't really have her seeing a permanent friendship (or possibly more) in their future, for she was a lowly web designer and Kurai was a celebrity growing in popularity. Satomi was at least going to cherish this rare occasion though, watching as her curry rice arrived along with the smiling star's sushi rolls. With an "Itadakimasu" whispered in unison with Kurai, she smiled as she tasted a bite of the delicious curry.

What she had started to explain before starts to slowly catch up. She’s a little offended by being called ‘Princess’. Because.. to Mesu.. well she’s been called that before. She was rather spoiled as a child, and never really wanted for anything. She never has. So sometimes people would tease her and call her ‘princess’.

I’m going to be journalist someday.. or something..”&nbsp; of course she doesn’t sound to confident about that, since she doesn’t actually know what she’ going to do with her life.&nbsp; She now releases her hold of her bag a little, looking down into it at the crystal wand. She can’t deny.. this wand does exist. She did have a bad dream. There is a cat talking to her. But she knows she isn’t Sailor Moon. She speaks as her eyes remain cast down upon the wand.&nbsp; “Little kitty… Luna..”&nbsp; she glances at the cat apologetically before looking back down and continuing.&nbsp; &nbsp;“I don’t know who you think I am.. I mean I vaguely know about those Senshi Sailors.. I heard about them a couple times. I know they were heroes.. I’m no hero.. I’m just Mesu..”&nbsp; she looks back up to Luna, an apologetic gaze upon her young features.&nbsp; &nbsp;“I don’t want to fight monsters like they do on TV.. or anything..

				<strong>Name:</strong> Nakamura Seiichi<br><strong>Location:</strong> Todai campus<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Open<br><br><hr><br><em>Something</em> is definitely a little off; in Seiichi's experience, substitute teachers who are current enough with the material to actually teach anything are approximately as common as unicorns -- even a genuinely smart and competent professor shouldn't be able to drop into the middle of the curriculum on short notice like that.<br><br>But then, this is the exact opposite of something he should actually be complaining about.<br><br>And there's hardly time to dwell on it anyway; not even Seiichi can afford to slack off or otherwise stop paying attention in the rest of his classes.&nbsp; After a quick lunch and several tedious hours of note-taking and trying to keep up with the professors' questions, he trudges off toward the library.&nbsp; Fortunately, the archery club doesn't meet until later in the evening...plenty of time to get some studying in.&nbsp; As usual.

				Mesu<br><br>"Funny. Usagi said the same. 'I'm not Sailor Moon at all!' But that crystal isn't wrong. It only came to you because of who you are." Luna sighed. "I wish there was no need for heroes. Well, for now, there's no monsters, at least. But with the crystals now in the hands of the Senshi-the new Senshi-monsters will come. And no, before you ask, there's no chance to hand the crystal off to someone else. Well you could, but it would find its way back to you. It only works in your hands, anyway." Another sigh from the kitty. "If it makes you feel any better, there are more. Lots more. Right now my partner Artemis is attempting to find Sailor Venus-that is, if he's not sleeping on the job...again." <br><br>"Well, no sense interrupting the rest of your day. Might I tag along?" She asks.

She says the monsters will come. Real monsters. Not the fake ones she sees on super sentai programs. Real monsters. She sighs gently and clutches the bag to her chest now, almost feeling better with it close. As if the crystal wand gave her subconscious comfort, and she doesn’t even know why. <br><br>She continues to look down as she clutches the bag.&nbsp; “Of.. of course you can tag along, Luna. I mean I wasn’t gonna do much, just meet some of my friends for lunch.. and then.. I dunno.”&nbsp; Now Mesu looks up to Luna, smiling a little.&nbsp; “I’d love for you to come along, if you’d like.”&nbsp; Now she pushes herself slowly and awkwardly to her feet, and she brushes off her knees and lower legs. She starts to walk, motioning Luna with her, a soft smile on her lips. <br><br>“So I won’t be alone in fighting.. you said Sailor Venus.. I remember.. there was like.. 4 of those Senshi people? And who’s Usagi? Was <em>she</em> Sailor Moon? Where are these monsters gonna come from? Is there anything that can be done about them before they show? How do I know what to do?”&nbsp; She immediately starts with the rapid fire questions as they walk, her eyes seeming fixed on some distant point in front of them. <br>

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w124/Twin-Dragon/Kosame_Hisakaki_1.jpg)</div>Name: Mizuki<br>Location: Tokyo (Roppongi shopping district)<br>Tagging: Open<br><hr><br>Mizuki noticed a foreign man just entered the jewelry store that she had threatened the owner of and stared at him for a while. However, her attention was soon taken by the brunette she’s with as they returned to just a pair of girls chatting and giggling. At the back of her mind though, she found it strange why she paid attention to the man, afterall, this is Roppongi and foreigners were not a rare find here.<br><br>Suddenly, the all too familiar sound of her mobile disturbs the conversation between the two as the blonde fished the item from inside her bag. A look at the LCD screen showed that it was her manager calling as she turned to her petite seour and mouthed “Sorry” which the brunette nodded in response.<br><br>Sliding her thumb on the screen, she put the mobile against her ear, “Moshi moshi,&nbsp; Sagara-san?” A male voice from the other side sighed in relief, “Ah, Mizuki-chan. You don’t know how glad I am that you’re picking up….” The blonde immediately frown as she asked with concerned tone, “What’s wrong, Sagara-san? Did something happen?” Though she couldn’t see the man, she could imagine him nodding while wiping his forehead with his handkerchief as he spoke, “Well… you see… I know that you’re having a day off today but… do you think you can make it to the Tokyo Convention Hall?”<br><br>At the mention of the venue, Mizuki immediately put the dots together. She knew there was a convention happening there at this very day since she was actually offered the opportunity to be one of the participating idols but unfortunately had to decline the offer due to prior promise to her petite seour. Thus the opportunity was given to another rising artist who was also signed under the same company. If Sagara-san was calling her, then something had happened and she was most likely in position to help. She looked at Lilianna before putting the phone on the table on speaker mode for her to listen along.<br><br>She didn’t have to take long before the man explained the situation, “The thing is… Yuri-san has just been admitted into the hospital after she complained about a stomachache. It turned out that she had a case of food poisoning… it wasn’t severe but it was unlikely that she will be able to get out of the hospital for the day. The problem is that she was set to fill the slot for the main stage during the main event as a secret guest star….”<br><br>The blonde looked across the table to her petite seour who looked back to her before nodding silently. She smiled gently as the brunette, she expected no less from her but it still made her proud to know that she had her support nonetheless as she spoke, “I understand, Sagara-san. We’re at Roppongi right now, we should be able to get there within an hour… but you have to get me a favor in exchange.” <br><br>The man’s answer of “Anything” had the blonde grinning as she made her demand, “You see, I’m on a date with my petite seour and has no intention of leaving her behind. I want you to get a VIP pass ready for her, if I’m going to be on stage then she deserve to be getting the front row seat.” She could almost imagine the man’s broad smile as he answered, “Deal.” before the call was ended.<br><br>Putting the device back into the bag, Mizuki saw her wonderful petite seour called the waiter for the bill which arrived soon. After paying for the meals, the brunette in front of her smiled as she spoke cheerily, “Let’s go Onee-sama, wouldn’t want to keep them waiting for the main star, do we?” The blonde herself simply rolled her eyes as she too stood up. <br><br>Both girls made their way back to the station and quickly found the car with the blonde’s family driver leaning against it. After quickly telling the man of the change of plan, both entered their items into the trunk before entering vehicle. Soon, the car sped toward their destination as the driver geared it. Fortunately, the street was rather sparse today and taking the highway significantly cut their travel time.<br><br>They ended up arriving at the venue 15 minutes earlier than their promised time. Directing the car to take the back entrance, the gate guard allowed them in without fuzz as they had been notified of their arrival. Both quickly got out of the car and ran toward the entrance to the main building into the backstage where they found the man they’re looking for.<br><br>Sagara Sanosuke was a man in his late 30s but he look more like mid 20s with high build and toned physique hidden under his grey suit. His name had been used as running joke among everyone that knows the man though since the man himself owned plenty of funny bone inside him, he never took the jests to heart and just saw it as the funny material they were intended.&nbsp; The same man had also been the one in charge of managing Mizuki’s schedule and professional matters. So far, the man hadn’t disappointed her.<br><br>The same man quickly ushered Mizuki into the makeup room where professional makeup artist would put their skill to use on her. They even managed to find a costume that fits her…. Iincidentally, it was also the costume of a character from an anime that she voiced…. If she didn’t know any better, she’d think that Sagara-san had tricked her and it had been his plan to begin with to get her to participate in the event… but she did know better and she knew enough of the man that he wouldn’t do such underhanded thing to her.<br><br>Soon she was dolled up, though truthfully the only thing the artist did was just apply slight layer of powder and lip gloss as well as putting some of her hair to a pair of pigtail with some decorated ribbon, and dressed in the costume she was shown, a pink top with white skirt and pink petal-shaped cape at the back, a pair of knee-high pink shoes with wing decoration on the heels. Finally, one of the staff members handed her a mic disguised as a winged staff with golden star at the center. All in all, she look every bit the part of a Mahou Shoujo.<br><br>Soon the MC makes an announcement excitedly, “Good afternoon boys and girls, are you enjoying the event so far? If you frequented our year convention so far, you guys would know the next item of our schedule… but today… we have a SURPRISE for you!! Are you ready?!!” As the crowd begins the 5 seconds countdown, Mizuki turned to her petite seour, now wearing a tag with the bold “VIP” on it, who gave her a thumb up as the blonde walked up the wooden stair as the upbeat music plays and the curtain parted to allow her to pass.<br><br>The moment she entered the stage, as if a switch had been turned in her mind, she was no longer Mizuki the heir of Izumi Zaibatsu but Izumi Mizuki, the rising star of the music world taking the industry by the storm. A bright smile rose on her lips as she opened them and sing straight from her heart as the crowd went wild. As she sang, she couldn’t help but ecstatic at the smilings faces before her, male and female, young and old, not a single frown was visible among the sea of faces. Seeing those faces, her heart soar even higher, this was what makes her choose to be an idol, to be able to make those smiling faces? Was there any better job in this world than that? Doubt it.

				Hideki<br><br>"I bet you dream of beautiful women all the time, what makes last night's any different?" Artemis laughs a little. "Well, it was in fact you. Whatever the dream entailed, I'm almost certain it involved lots of heroics, yes? Well, it's because you are. You are the Terra Knight, Guardian of Earth. And to answer your question about me, I am Artemis. I am here to advise the new batch of Sailor Senshi-you may have heard of them? I mean, those stories are kinda true-granted, Luna's a woman in reality, but whatever. The others are out there. Luna said she was looking for the new Sailor Moon...come on, no need to stop moving, we can keep going. No one pays attention to a kid and a cat on a bike..."<br><br>Mesu<br>Luna walked alongside Mesu with a royal pose. "There are nine, though the outers don't often make an appearance-er, by that I mean, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Though I think a new Pluto is somewhere out there..." She let out a little meow. "This time around, there's also Knights-males with similar powers. So if everyone got together, there would be 18 of you...wow, I think the monster are screwed." She said, as it seems the full weight of what she said just hit her.<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 24pt;" class="bbc_size">Later that Day...</span></div><br>The afternoon passed by and evening began to fall. About 4-5 PM. The day's obligations are almost done, but Fate...Fate has a funny way of throwing additional things at you. Mesu and Hikari had the benefit of actually having Luna and Artemis to assist them. The others, not quite. But deep down within, each one knew how to use the powers inside. <br><br>And now, it was to be put to the test.<br><br>Somewhere in the city, the awakened Sailors and Knights ended up within a few blocks of each other. And so did a lovely little bit of chaos-people were fleeing like mad from something. A brief investigation would reveal that the situation in question was-no joke-a zombie outbreak.<br><br>Yes, really.<br><br>Born of nightmares, these creatures had appeared. In the back of the minds of the Sailors and Knights, they would know that these creatures were (thankfully) not formerly living, just creations of something-some dark energy. The crystals, watches, whatever would find their ways into the hands of the Awakened. Activating them took nothing more then the courage to take the first step...Awakened heroes versus 30 Zombies, who wins in this situation?<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Transformation</div><div class="spoiler_body">Sailors, you girls have established transformations. However, you may make it look however you like-get creative! Knights, do whatever you like (and no, you guys don't have to shout "[Planet] Power, Make Up!" You can shout what you like. Or shout nothing at all and just Transform).<br><br>The Zombies will actually go down pretty easily. I ask nothing more then you guys give everyone an equal chance to show off. The purpose behind this fight is to get everyone in the same 'room', so to speak. </div></div>

				<strong>Name:</strong> Sagawa Bunji<br><strong>Location:</strong> The Sake Garden Bar &amp; Restaurant - Streets of Tokyo<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Zombies, Open<br><br><hr><hr><br><br><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font">One hand held a spatula, the other a wok, as he stirred and tossed stir fry. His blue eyes were distant, lost in the mechanical task of food preparation that had become like a second nature to him. A toothpick was clenched between his teeth, his tongue rolling it idly along his bottom rows as fire spouted from the pot. Through the loud hissing of cooking food, Bunji was unaware of the chaos that had occurred in the dining area. Customers were running, screaming, and beating back zombies with chairs. His manager had already bagged the restaurant’s funds and abandoned shop.<br><br>Cutting the stove, Bunji lifted the still simmering shrimp and vegetables off the burner and turned to dump the contents into a dish next to him when he came face-to-face with a man whose face was gaunt, peeling, and eyes pink with irritation. From a mouth black with old blood and rot, the zombie hissed on a putrid breath, and Bunji reacted by sending a pot-full of searing oil and stir fry into the creature’s face.<br><br>“Jesus Christ!” Bunji exclaimed, scrambling backwards only for his back to meet the chest of another undead. Just as the creature was throwing its arms around him, the knight whirled with the iron wok to send the zombie’s skull ringing with the resonation of bone meeting metal. After knocking the zombie aside, the chef bolted for the exit, raising his left leg up to have his foot Spartan kick another zombie in the abdomen and send its floppy form to the floor.<br><br>“It’s a fuckin’ zombie apocalypse!” he yelled in disbelief. “I can’t believe that it’s a fuckin’ apocalypse!”<br><br>Who’d a thought that all those zombie otakus were right for predicting the end of the earth? Before he reached the fire exit, the knight quickly triggered the fire alarm unsure if the customers were aware of the epidemic. Grabbing his bike, he shouldered through the exit door, the door slamming into a zombie and throwing it into some trash cans. Bunji glanced to his left and right down both ends of the alley and saw nothing but zombies. How long had this been going on? Why hadn’t anyone warned him?<br><br>His bike collapsed upon its side when he released it to turn sideways so that he could keep track of the walkers closing in on him. His heart was racing and his pits were already damp from his anxiety. Was this how he was going to die? Being eaten alive by the dead? His back met the brick wall, his grip growing tighter on the wok. No…he had to stay alive to protect his mother.<br><br><em>Matsumi…</em> Bunji thought. She was all that he had left and he feared the apocalypse having reached her. She would be safe if she stayed in the house but for how long? He was uncertain. He needed to get to her.<br><br>Frowning in determination, Bunji leaned off the wall and untied his apron to let it melt to the floor at his feet. Setting the wok between his knees, he reached into the pockets of his dress pants as he remembered the gloves being there and removed them to adorn them. He slid each one on, one at time, and curled and uncurled his fingers surprised that they had fit. Grabbing the wok, he pinched the toothpick in his mouth and removed it to flick it at the forehead of the nearest lumbering zombie.<br><br>“Good, I won’t have to hold back because you’re already dead,” Bunji noted with a smirk.<br><br>The knight whirled on the zombie, bringing his right leg around in a roundhouse kick. His heel struck the side of the zombie’s head and slammed it against the brick wall as it met with a sickening crack. Lowering his leg, he ran up on another zombie, opting to escape the alley in one direction. Leaping into the air, he thrust out both of his feet into the zombie’s face, crushing its nose and snapping its head back. Throwing out his arms to break his fall, Bunji safe fell to his back and pushing off the ground, swung his legs over his head into a backwards roll away from the walker. One after one, he took out each zombie in his path with the ringing strikes of his wok, hip throwing the last at the mouth of the alley and dropping it onto its back with its wrist still clutched in his hand. Bunji stomped his foot down on the side of the zombie’s neck and stepped over its body to finally reach the sidewalk.<br><br>With already a sheet of sweat on his brow and body burning from his exertion, Bunji regarded the streets in awe when he saw that there were still many more. Grasping his tie, he tugged it loose and unbuttoned the first button of his dress shirt. People were running and screaming, others in cars speeding recklessly down the road, and there were zombies <em>everywhere</em>. He wasn’t sure how he was going to make it to his mother at this rate. Snapping out of his stunned stupor, there were two zombies closing in on him and he lunged ahead to dodge their grabs.<br><br><em>I need to stay on my feet</em>, Bunji thought nervously. Just a moment ago that had been the most opponents that he had ever fought at once in his life and his body wasn’t used to it. His back met the side of a van, and strangely, the zombies had seemed more interested in him than the other people. They were drawn to him like moths to a flame…or a bug zapper. With them clustering around him, there were too many to try and takedown without a sufficient weapon. Facing the van, Bunji ditched the wok to reach up and climb on top of it. He managed to swing his legs up and over before a zombie managed to get a good hold of his pants leg and he sat in the center so their pawing hands couldn’t reach him.<br><br><em>Why do they want me?</em> he wondered and sniffed himself absently. He wasn’t wearing any fancy body spray.<br><br>The van began to rock as the zombies began pushing up against it. It lurched suddenly to the left and Bunji snatched the shake handle and pulled himself to the right to avoid the hands that slapped and clawed for anything that they could reach. The van was then pushed onto its right, and Bunji reached across to the left shake handle, to repeat the same strategy.<br><br><em>If I stay here, they’ll flip this van on its side and get me!</em><br><br>But where could he go? One false move and the zombies would grab him. Above him, the sky was growing dark with storm clouds. As the zombies continued to hiss and rock the van, a white burning “4” appeared on the right side of Bunji’s neck. His heart was hammering in his chest. The clouds began to flash with lightning and rumble with thunder. His eyes were suddenly fixed upon the sky as a serious expression knitted his brows and turned his lips. His pocket was crackling, shocking his leg like small pops of static. The action was involuntary. His hand dunked into his pocket to grasp the buckle tightly before he raised the yellow and green jewel into the sky.<br><br><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size">JUPITER!</span><br><br><em>What the?</em><br><br><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size">POWER!</span><br><br><em>Why the fuck am I-</em><br><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><br>CHA~RGE!</span><br><br>A spear of lightning shot down from the sky and struck the van. In a fiery blast, the zombies were repelled covered in smoke and flames as a young man transformed into a great warrior. His clothes had disintegrated as he stood bare with the belt buckle hovering before his abdomen. Green flames wrapped his hips and descended down his legs to his feet. The flames then cleared revealing a pair of armored boots, black pants, and the buckle that was now joined at his hips by a belt. Spreading his arms, chains of electricity met at the center of his chest and danced, flickering violently until they formed an “X.” With three thunderclaps, massive gauntlets appeared on both of his arms and belts flashed across his chest holding the weapons in place. Tongues of lightning flickered from his eyes as Bunji bore his teeth in anger.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">“You gone and done it now. You have awakened the wrath of the Storm Lord, the Knight of Jupiter, and in the name of my glorious planet, I will bring down a hell of pain!…</span>” He brought his fists crashing together twice. “<span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">On you!</span>”<br><br>After a full ten seconds, Bunji blinked as a stupid look came over his face. “What…the…fuck…”</span>

Not that it takes a lot for something to weigh on heavy on her mind. She spoke of 18 of them all together… <em>18</em>. That’s a big number. But where were they all? Would they all just emerge one day as needed? Is that how this sort of thing works? <br><br>The rest of the day had namely comprised of Mesu going shopping… and sneaking Luna into the store by stuffing the poor kitty into her messenger bag. She didn’t want to leave Luna alone! And then after picking up just a few things at the store (mostly sweets), they went back to her apartment. There she served Luna just a small dish of milk and some tuna. She’s not sure if Luna would actually like those things.. but.. well she’s a talking cat, and she would be able to tell Mesu what she likes! <br><br>But other than that, Mesu has been.. quiet. Pensive. She set the wand on her coffee table in front of the comfy couch she now sits. She’s been staring at it for some time.. and she left the television on Animal Planet, so Luna would be entertained maybe. Again, talking cat. She can watch what she wants. Despite the talking cat’s words.. she still has something of a hard time believing she’s capable of being this.. hero.. she’s heard about. Sailor Moon. Maybe she needs to look on the internet, see what it says about Sailor Moon. But then, who knows what would be truth and what would be fiction. Also.. Rule 34. So there’s that. <br><br>Her phone sounds a soft chime, her notification tone. Yeah, she left her phone on this table when she left the house earlier. She glances at it, seeing it’s just one of her friends. She would look at it.. but she’s got her mind on other things. Like staring at this wand, as if it could somehow divine the truth to her. Her phone chimes softly again, and she glances at it again. And as she does, she gets a quick look at television. Oh.. it’s on some news report now. Huh. She would have sworn she left it on Animal Planet. A report about.. some kind of mob? She now sits up on the couch, recognizing the area the report is from. She knows it well.&nbsp; &nbsp;“Is this a movie?”&nbsp; She says softly as she sits there. It’s showing pictures of zombies.. oh goodness it’s a zombie movie. Good effects, though. She smiles a little, and finally picks up her phone as it chimes again.&nbsp; “Mandy what..”&nbsp; she says as she looks at her text alerts. It’s her friend Amanda.. who seems to be right in the middle of some kind of monster outbreak. A zombie outbreak. Huh.. just like in the movie she’s watching. <br><br>Wait…<br><br>“Ah! Luna! Is that real!?”&nbsp; She cries out as she stands abruptly, staring wide eyed at the television. She asked the question, but she knows the answer. She knows it’s real, that’s not a movie she’s been watching.&nbsp; “M..my friend Mandy is down there! She needs help! She said she’s hurt! I have to help her!”&nbsp; A situation, Luna would note, similar to when Usagi first transformed. Mesu drops her phone on the couch and runs towards the door, pushing it open and running down the hall. She then runs back to her door and closes it behind her as she enters, realizing the crystal wand is still on the coffee table. She’s gonna have to get a string or something for that thing and tie it around her wrist. She whines at herself and scoops up the wand, and the moment she touches it.. the crescent crystal shape shimmers briefly. She grasps it in her hand, staring at the elegant shaped crystal atop the handle.. as if mesmerized by it. It’s as if she’s seeing it for the first time. Her soft gaze moves to Luna, and then back towards the wand as she draws it up, holding it over her head. <br><br>She shouts as she holds the wand over her head.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br><span style="font-size: 15pt;" class="bbc_size"> “Mooooooon Crystal Power…”</span><br><br>The crystal of the wand glows brilliant in a shimmering rainbow of colors, that energy cascading now along her form. The air around her seems to get lighter as her form shimmers, as the transformation begins. <br><br><span style="font-size: 15pt;" class="bbc_size"> “Make-Up!”&nbsp; </span><br><br>The wand seems to dissipate in her hand, and she then draws her hands down along her form, her eyes closing. She is bathed in light, her clothing dissipating the same way the wand did. Her long hair seems to separate itself into 2 long pigtails on either side of her head, now clad in the uniform of the Sailor Senshi. The shimmering rainbow of lights fade from her form, and she stares down at herself in wonder.&nbsp; &nbsp;“Is.. this me?”&nbsp; She says softly, seeing the new outfit. She turns her head a little, her eyes widening in astonishment.&nbsp; “Even my hair changed!”&nbsp; She looks towards Luna, then motions to herself.&nbsp; &nbsp;“I did it! I.. guess..”&nbsp; &nbsp;her voice fades as she realizes… Luna was right the whole time, of course. <br><br>She is Sailor Moon. <br><br>“I have to see myself in a mirror!”&nbsp; She exclaims as she runs towards her bathroom. And then…she remembers. She gets halfway to the bathroom, and then abruptly changes course.&nbsp; &nbsp;“Ah! Those zombies are still out there Luna! I have to go get them!”&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc446/ffxivghost/SMR002.jpg)</div><br>Sailor Moon runs down side streets, trying not to be seen. Because.. well she’s not sure why. She just doesn’t want to be seen. But she can hear the commotion ahead of her, she can hear the sounds of danger. And she runs right towards it. Again, she’s not sure why. No, she knows why. People are in danger, her friend is in danger! <br><br>She finds she can now run faster, she’s not getting tired from running this distance… from leaping when she needs to. She feels.. amazing.. she feels right. She’s running through an alley now, and she sees some people run in front of the alley, and zombies chasing them. Yes, they could probably fight them.. but they are scared. They don’t know what’s going on. They’re innocent people who are just trying to live their lives.. she sees a couple zombies after them, and Sailor Moon’s brows furrow as she runs faster. <br><br>She darts out of the alley and stops between the zombies and the people running. She faces the zombies and holds out her hands in a ‘stop’ motion.&nbsp; &nbsp;“That’s far..&nbsp; en… ough…”&nbsp; her voice trails off as she sees there are many many more than 2 zombies that were after those people. It looks like there’s hundreds of them!! Well.. maybe her mind is exaggerating.. but there’s a lot! And all of them are now focused on her! She lets out a frightened cry and starts to run, heading in a completely different direction than the people she just ‘saved’. She runs as fast as she can, but the zombies seem to be keeping up with her as she runs.&nbsp; &nbsp;“AAAAHHHH! I don’t have another plaaaaaaan!”&nbsp; She says in an almost tearful tone as she runs frightened from the zombies. <br><br>

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w124/Twin-Dragon/Kosame_Hisakaki_1.jpg)</div>Name: Mizuki<br>Location: Central Tokyo<br>Tagging: Open<br><hr><br>Mizuki was having a blast, as if she was actually gaining power from the cheering itself, song after song poured out from her throat pass her lips and delivered straight to the fan’s heart. Every single note came straight from her heart and it showed as she dragged everyone’s mood higher and higher. Suddenly, the light went out in the entire building, even her mic stopped working as everyone looked around in confusion. The blonde wasn’t the only one wondering what exactly caused the rain on their parade, blackout was a rare happening in Japan, especially Tokyo.<br><br>Suddenly commotions from outside the building piqued the interest of the people nearest from the walls and entrance as they peeked through the glass doors and windows. Suddenly one person gasped as he shouted, “Look outside!! What is happening out there?” Another person looks through the window and exclaimed, “Zombies!! They are coming here!!” Screams of “What?!” and “No way!” came from all over the place as people started to panic. A security guard with a megaphone shouted to get everyone attention, “Everyone, get out of this building! Please do not panic, we will guide you to safety!” Soon everyone miles about as they tried to get to the emergency exits as fast as possible. <br><br>Meanwhile, Mizuki who was still on the stage watched the proceeding with worried expression when she felt a pull on her arm. She turned to her side to find Lilianna as the brunette spoke, “Onee-sama, let’s go. We need to get out of here as well… The car is waiting outside of the back door already.” The blonde bite her lips before shaking her head, “No, you go, Lilianna. I need to help with the evacuation; I will go last after I’m sure that this building is empty. Call my family’s security service for help, you know their number and they’d recognize you. They should be here within minutes.”<br><br>The brunette tried to complain with a “But…” but Mizuki interrupted the younger girl, “There is no time, Liliana. I’ll be fine, I promise… I’ll get out once the security service is here. You need to go.” Seeing that her petite seour wasn’t convinced, she gave her a gentle smile, “Come on… I promised. When have I ever lied to you?” This time the brunette nodded once as she spoke, “I understand, onee-sama. I’ll be waiting for you, then.” Soon, the brunette went through the backstage along with the staff members though instead of taking the coach bus, she entered the same Mercedes that she got there with. As soon as she was inside, she took out her mobile phone and dialed the number to the private security service of the Izumi family as the car made it was out of the complex.<br><br>Once her petite seour, Mizuki let out a sigh. She could hear the guns being fired outside as the security guards tried to fight the incoming zombies. She wasn’t sure how well they fare but somehow she doubted it would do any good against the walking deads. Descending from the stage, she proceeded to help controlling the crowd, for some reason people were more likely to listen to the guidance of someone they look up to even if it was just some random idol rather than security guards, especially the younger ones.<br><br>That was when trouble reared its ugly head as a young woman was shouting a name among the crowd. Mizuki immediately approached her and asked for what was happening as the woman explained, “My sister, she went to go the restroom during the concert. She’s 8 and….” Mizuki put her hand on the woman’s shoulder to calm her down as she spoke, “I'll find her. Please get out with the rest, we’ll find you somehow. What’s her name?” the woman reluctantly nods as she spoke, “Mikan, her name is Mikan. She has orange hair like mine….”<br><br>Mizuki nodded once to show that she understood before leaving toward the nearest girl toilet. The older sister said that her sister went to one before the commotion started. A passing look through the glass door at the other end of the hall showed that the creatures had overwhelmed the guards and now knocking against it. It didn’t take her long to realize that it wouldn’t be long before they broke in which means she had to move fast. Fortunately, it seemed that the zombies weren’t the type that was able to run like those western tv series and games tend to show lately.<br><br>As she neared her destination, a piercing scream came from inside. The blonde quicken her pace before stopping with a… faceplant to the tiled wall due to her inability to stop so suddenly. She rubbed her abused face before turning to the side and saw a scene straight from a horror movie. A girl with shoulder length orange hair was cornered with her back against the wall by a zombie that apparently had manage to climb in through the wall ventilation if the metal covering lying on the floor was any hint.<br><br>Suddenly, she felt her lips moves as she spoke a set of unfamiliar phrase yet it felt so natural as it pass her lips. Instinctively, she raised her hand above her head with her charm bracelet dangling on her wrist. Fortunately for the blonde, the girl’s view was covered by the zombie, preventing her from actually seeing her. The crystal let out a bright glow as she shouted,<br><br>“<span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><em>“VENUS POWER, MAKE UP!”</em></strong></span><br><br>The crystal glowed brightly as it seemed to detach itself from the bracelet and floated right in the middle of her forehead. The clothes that she’s wearing disappeared but on its place, the gem shot out waves of golden hearts made of light which wrapped around her body before solidifying into a white and orange skintight sleeveless sailor uniform complete with a blue ribbon. She raised her arms as more hearts covered her arms all the way to her elbow and a pair of orange shoes appeared on her feet. Finally, the gem attached itself to her forehead and a golden tiara materialized with it at the center.<br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w124/Twin-Dragon/e62b47f05519a247d585d3800a8b90f4_zpsz16quyqu.jpg)</div>The newly transformed girl immediately shouted, “Venus Love Chain!” and ripples appeared on the air around her as golden chains shot out from them and wrapped themselves around the zombie, restraining it from approaching the terrified girl any further.&nbsp; The undead tried to turn itself around to look at its assailant but the chain restricting it prove too tough to even let it do anymore than groan.<br><br>Once the zombie was secured, gold colored sparkles gathered on her left hand before solidifying into a familiar bow. The blonde looked at the item on her hand with confusion, ‘It looked… kinda different….Where do this even come from anyway? And what the hell am I supposed to do with a bow in this closed space?’ True enough, the bow seem to be less lustrous than the one in her dream this morning and obviously missing some decorations on it.<br><br>Suddenly, the weapon’s edges glowed in golden color as the sailor immediately understood. Raising the weapon with both hands, she slashed it toward the zombie. Sure enough, the bow cut through the undead diagonally like hot knife through butter. The creature let out a cry as it crumbles into a heap right on the spot as the chains holding it released itself and disappeared through the same ripples they showed up from.<br><br>Once the zombie was gone, the bow disappeared as she turned to the cowering little girl and spoke gently, “Are you Mikan-chan? I’m here to help you, let’s get out of here.” The girl nods once and allowed herself to be picked up before wrapping her small arms around her savior’s neck for support.

Kurai had been called to be told that she wasn't needed any longer at the convention, leaving her day completely open. She had decided to spend it with her star-struck fan, walking and talking amongst each other out in the open street, her disguise seeming to work on the people around her. Kurai grinned softly and laughed at a light joke that Satomi told, sipping on another cup of lemonade that she had just purchased.&nbsp; The air around the two was electric, even more so than usual. Kurai couldn't shake off a familiarity with Satomi that was nagging at the back of her mind, along with her black skull barrette seeming to tug gently against her hair...something that Kurai dismissed as nonsense. No way a gem could move on it's own, that was crazy.<br><br>A soft smile danced across her lips as she looked ahead, and her smile turned to a frown as she saw people running away from something, dark creatures that seemed slow moving but clearly unnatural. "Zombies?!" Kurai said suddenly, most likely to the shock of her friend, Kurai's finger pointing at the creatures that were shambling around in an attempt to catch fleeing people. Kurai watched in horror as the zombies slowly drew closer, but something about them, about the darkness that seemed to fuel them and keep them together, also felt familiar...like the familiarity between her and Satomi. Her crystal was practically buzzing in her hair, causing Kurai to drop her lemonade and splash it on the ground to grab at it, drawing it forward to see that the crystal skull was chattering eagerly, tugging gently towards the zombies with greedy fervor. "What the hell?" She said, still too stunned to move as a memory lanced it's way into her mind.<br><br>A kingdom far away, a planet forgotten in time, a door to time and space...only glimpses of things that made barely any sense, but one surging thought that she had to fight to reclaim what was hers. The words slowly flowed like water from her lips suddenly beside Satomi as Kurai stepped forward and protectively in front of her new friend, letting her crystal roll from her fingertips and drop to the ground. "PLUTO POWER! MAKE UP!" Kurai called, though why she had no clue. The crystal, rather than striking the ground, plunged through it as the skull chattered more, and darkness erupted from the ground around Kurai, covering her from head to toe in dark wrappings and chains. The darkness ebbed and flowed, like liquid around her, pulsing as a hand emerged from it, then more, a body wearing new clothes, but clearly Kurai. A blue and white sailor uniform adorned her body now, black leggings and boots stepping from the darkness last as it swirled and tried to keep her contained within. "To take back what has been stolen, you will be punished." Kurai said in a voice much clearer and confident than she actually felt. The skull crystal that she had was now a brooch, hanging around her neck. <br><br>Roaring with newfound power, Kurai rushed forward towards the first zombie, and her fist connected with it's body, plunging inside the undead monster of darkness, though it did not come out from the otherside. Instead, she withdrew her hand, the zombie writhing as the darkness was pulled from it. It collapsed into dust as the darkness in Kurai's hand formed into a long&nbsp; Scythe (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/Wolfy4225/304088-scythe_4.jpg~original). Kurai looked at the weapon in her hand and frowned for a moment, "A scythe? I don't know how to use a scythe!" She said suddenly, as more zombies approached. She swung her scythe half-hazardly, cutting into two zombies on either side and slicing them in half, her scythe drawing in the darkness from them to turn them into dust as well. <br><br>More zombies were closing in, though Kurai had now left Satomi a bit further back to take on the horde herself, unaware that her friend was also someone of great power. The charged, lunging for her from all sides, and Kurai had a moment of panic...before black wings spread behind her, raven black feathers falling as she shot into the air on wings that had formed from the cape that was behind her, shimmering with starlight. "W-What?! W-Woah!!" Kurai said, struggling to control her flight as her new wings flapped and sent feathers flying as she tried to stop herself from plummeting in the middle of the zombie horde.

The meek bookworm greatly enjoyed her time as she walked through the streets with her disguised acquaintance, sipping lemonade along with her as they chatted. She was starting to find Jikan-san very familiar, though it felt more to her the effects of getting to know each other rather than a strange coincidence. As the frazzled star shouted of "zombies", Satomi looked in utter shock as a hoard of the undead was clearly chasing the civilians in the area. The terrified bookworm then felt as her cosplay skirt began vibrating oddly, leading to her quickly reaching into its built-in pocket to see what was actually causing this. <br><br>Finding it had been the sapphire she found in the shower this morning, she didn't have time to ponder it as her idol got in front of her while spouting some majestic words, transforming into an outfit that was quite....familiar. As much as Satomi was keen on watching in amazement at how her favorite actress was the awe-inspiring magical girl in her dream, her powers had other plans as they forced her to spout out "MERCURY POWER, MAKE-UP!". The confused bookworm was about to panic about what had just happened, but she went stiff out of fear as her pointy jewel buzzed around her body with a blue light, her costume becoming a more traditional magical girl outfit soon after while the rest of her trident formed in her hands from the sapphire. She didn't have time to react to this again as she saw the dark maiden nearly plummeting into the hoard of zombies, her moral fiber instinctively having her shout "Hydro Shower!" as she cleared a path from her by blasting several zombies with a torrent of water. "Are you alright, Jikan-san?!" Satomi shouted out as she rushed over, finally able to do something of her own will.&nbsp;

				The zombies took notice of the transformations. They dropped their 'pursuit' (if one could reasonably call it that) of the civilians, and instead started shambling after the Senshi and Knights. Which in all fairness, was probably exactly what they wanted-to protect the people. <br><br>The heroes themselves had varying levels of effectiveness, from Jupiter's ruthless extermination to Moon's completely forgetting the zombies even exist. Still, the limited number of zombies meant that the heroes had an easier time disposing of them. Unorganized, they simply ran at the nearest target. About half of them were left, and thankfully-at least, so far-no one had been hurt in the attack. If this was the end times, as Bunji was worried it was, it was pretty f**king weaksauce.<br><br>Luna simply chuckled at Mesu's actions, but she seemed to be looking around for something. "Strange." She said to herself. "Usually at about this point, whoever was controlling the monsters would appear." But no one was. "Perhaps this once, they'll get a break..." She followed Mesu...and found Artemis tagging along with Terra Knight? "Artemis! You were-" "I KNOW!" He shouted right back. "Can it wait until the monsters are dead? Venus is right over there!" And so were both Mercuries, Pluto, Jupiter Knight...this was quite the event!<br><br>Still, there were about a dozen or so zombies to deal with. But now that the heroes were together, mostly, demolishing the rest should be child's play. Right?

She who could barely run 100 meters in 14 seconds was not going at the speed that would make Usain Bolt jealous. She had also leaped over dozens of zombies which had filled the hall while carrying the 8 years old with little difficulty. Most importantly, her eyesight had been significantly improved. Sure, her normal sight weren’t less that 20/20 but she was sure that being able to spot one person among hundreds from dozens of kilometers away was anything but “normal”. Hell, she could even count how many hairs she has if she wants to… though that probably would be going too far.<br><br>It didn’t take long before she reached the evacuation point and she couldn’t help but be relieved that the zombies hadn’t come this far. Handing the 8 years old to the older sister, the latter couldn’t help but ask, “Thank you very much. Who are you? What happened to Izumi-san? Is she okay?” Venus gulped once inwardly though outwardly, she spoke to the girl, “You may call me… Sailor Venus. Don’t worry, Izumi-san is safe, I already got her to safety. Now, I have work to do.” She turned to the younger girl, Mikan and pats her on the head gently as she spoke, “Be a good girl, okay?”<br><br>Done with her first task, Venus leaped away as she jumped over the rooftops until she reached the top of tallest building around which fortunately was some distance away from the evacuation point which means that she wouldn’t be bringing the zombies to the evacuatees. She looked around and gained several information from her observation: 1. zombies seem to number around the lower hundreds at most, quite low for a zombie apocalypse and 2. There were several other people fighting against the horde, she couldn’t help but felt that they were quite familiar faces but most of them were spread all over the field.<br><br>Materializing her bow, she drew the string as she aimed toward one of the zombies, ‘Let’s see….’ She released the string and a thin beam of light escaped from the crystal at the center and impacted one of the farther away zombies right on the head causing it to explode while the body dropped like a marionette with its string cut. The blonde couldn’t help but look at the bow with raised eyebrows, “Wow….”<br><br>She heard a banging voice behind her and turned around to see that the zombies has broken the metal door that lead to the rooftop and approached her slowly. The blonde shrugged as she looked at them, for some reason despite the scene out of a horror movie, she wasn’t the least bit afraid of them as she muttered to herself, “Guess I have to deal with this guys first….” <br><br>Gripping her weapon with both hands, the edge started to glow as she waited for the zombies to approach. As the nearest one tried to grab her, she spun as she ducked under the hands and sliced its knees off before cutting it straight up, bisecting it completely. As expected, the rest of the surrounding zombies tried to grab her but using her position, she jumped over them to the relative safety position behind the horde. <br><br>Drawing on the string once again, she couldn’t help but grin as she released it. The beam of light cut through the zombies in a straight line like a lance as it punched a hole through them at the size of an adult fist. Seeing that most of them didn’t quite fell despite the injury due to they being… well… dead already, she decide to get a little creative.<br><br>She muttered, “Venus Love Chain!” As before, golden ripples appeared on the air around her as golden heart shaped chains appeared and wrapped around the bulk of the zombie before compressing them into one tight crowd. Grinning at the sight of the zombies’ futile struggling against the chains, she aimed her bow at them and drew the string as the jewel glowed, “Venus Golden Arrow!”<br><br>The arrow of light shoot straight to the middle of the crowd but this time, instead of penetrating through, it exploded right in the middle and blew up all of the zombies into pieces. Flipping her hair with satisfied expression, Venus looked to the distance as she realized that the “battle” was ending as the zombies were destroyed by those people with costumes that seem straight out of a Role play. Deciding that it couldn’t hurt to approach them, she leap off the building toward the nearest of them.<br>

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine! Just...what the hell is going on?!" She asked, awkwardly trying to get up with her large black wings. The wings, as if sensing her discomfort with them, melted into an elegant black cape that shimmered with stars on the material underneath. "Phew...that's better." She said with a sigh, looking around. Several over people in outlandish costumes were around, and there were still a few zombies to take care of in the streets, though the numbers had been thinned out to the point that it was easy to sweep the rest.<br><br>Putting out her hand to the other Sailor Scouts and Knights, and specifically the zombies near them, Kurai's hand glowed with black, inky darkness. "Come." She said in a commanding tone, a voice that had hints of not being hers. The zombies, as if called by the darkness of Pluto, obeyed, slowly turning towards the sailor scout with the black cape and shambling towards her hungrily. Kurai held up her scythe, inky blackness swarming around the handle. She wound up and tossed the scythe at the line of zombies shambling towards her, where it spun and sliced through them all, blasting the last of the zombies back darkness that was absorbed into the scythe. With a tug on the dark black line connecting it to her, the scythe spiralled back to Kurai's grasp, where she caught it with a surprising expertise...surprising in that the look on her face was shocked that she had managed to pull something like that off without cutting off her own head. "W-What the hell is going on?!" She asked the other people that had gathered in their weird and freaky costumes. She was a cosplayer, of course, so costumes weren't something new, but these...these were different, and the zombies didn't help make things make any more sense.

				The many oddly costumed individuals slowly began to gather around. The zombies, now defeated, had faded into shadows, and eventually, to nothing at all. The two talking cats nodded to each other. The Senshi had returned, and brought Knights with them. Luna spoke up first. "We should get out of here before-"<br><br>The lights and sounds of sirens blared as emergency crews of police and medical personal arrived. "Before that happens, Luna?" Artemis asked. The police were the first to arrive, and the uniformed officers scanned the surroundings, seeing only the Senshi and yet, not quite realizing what they were looking at. One of them cautiously approached. "Any of you know what the hell happened here? We got a call about people being attacked, but the only people here are you guys." EMT crews started taking care of the few injured around the area. <br><br>"Pretty sure one guy mentioned zombies!" A much younger officer calls out with a grin. "Shut up Rookie." Says the officer talking to the Senshi. "So what actually..." His voice trailed off as a vehicle familiar to Bunji arrived on the scene, and out of it came a very familiar white-haired woman. The police were a little ticked. "This is a crime scene, you shouldn't be here." The woman is undisturbed and retrieves a set of credentials from her pocket. "U.N. Special Task Force. I'll take it from here." The police immediately back off.<br><br>The woman approaches the Senshi and Knights with a smile. "I'm not sure exactly what happened here, but I intend to find out. Go ahead, speak freely about what happened. I can already tell just from what you guys are wearing that this isn't the usual case, and well, I'm STF for a reason. Weird is what we do." Of course, the rumors surrounding the Special Task Force never involved the supernatural, but perhaps she'd be willing to hear it?

"I h-have no idea. Th-This seems very s-similar to a dream I h-had last night though." The meek girl pondered as the raven-like wingspan folded down into an elegant black cape. She looked as Kurai once more preformed a creepy yet awe-inspiring act, beheading the rest of their undead foes with a single stroke of her looming blade. As all the costumed heroes eventually gathered around, the surprises for her continued as a pair of black and white cats snarked like an old married couple in front of her. Satomi cringed as the police arrived and questioned the heroes, partially hiding behind her recent acquaintance as they were questioned by them. The panicked bookworm wasn't going to be much help in this situation, looking towards her more charismatic friend for help as the "Task Force" arrived.

She couldn’t help but giggle slightly at the out-of-her-depth Saturn. How she knew the other girl was Sailor Saturn, the blonde didn’t know but chugged it as another lingering memory from her previous incarnation, ‘I’m really starting to get used to this….’<br><br>From the corner of her eyes, she spot a pair of cats with black and white furs. She looked at the white one and couldn’t help but feel rather nostalgic but there was something called “priority”. Meaning, they need deal with this “Special Task Force” woman first and possibly get her to back off at least temporarily.<br><br>Dealing with weird things or not, the blonde couldn’t help but think that it would be better for them to keep the truth secret for now. Having their identity exposed so early could lead to terrible things especially when they themselves didn’t have any idea what was going on to begin with…. Once they could afford a little more privacy and talk about their situation. <br><br>She approached the dark-haired sailor first and put her hand over her shoulder to calm the other girl down before speaking toward the woman with completely convincing apologetic look even a little panicky, “I’m sorry, but we has no idea how this happened either. We were just at a convention… you know, anime convention... when this horde of zombies crashed the party, thus why we’re dressed like this. How we ended up here was nothing more than coincidence.”<br><br>Still hiding behind her facade, "Well... We did saw that several people seemed to be fighting against the monsters... I was saved by one of them but I didn't have a good look on their identity. Then again... these zombies were rather... weak... I think? I mean... I saw one of them lobbing their heads off with something that look like a scythe made of cardboard or wood." As she finished her "testimony", she pointed to one of the other senshi nearby, she guessed by her color that she might be Pluto... though she seemed rather different than how she "remembered"....

After watching one of the heroes dramatically wipe them out with black wings and a scythe, Bunji was hesitant to just…approach them.<br><br><em>I’ve seen these people before I think…</em> Bunji mused. Had it been in his dream? Like any dream, he barely remembered it after it had happened as real as it had been. He couldn’t be asked to recount every fine detail. Reluctantly, he started over toward them for he was curious to know if they were just as lost as he was or if they might have known something about…well, everything!<br><br>As he came before the group, his blue eyes stared down at the two talking cats.<br><br>“What the fuck is this…?” he muttered. Trying to comprehend the logic behind the entire event was giving him a splitting headache. What the hell was going on? Why was he dressed like this? He didn’t care if they were, but why him?<br><br><strong>We should get out of here before-</strong><br><br><strong>Before that happens, Luna?</strong><br><br>As the cops rolled up, Bunji remained quiet as the “expert liars” sang their songs. Then another vehicle pulled up and the knight’s brows lowered with suspicion. He recognized that car.<br><br><em>Is that…?</em><br><br>Stepping out of the vehicle was the argent-haired woman. As she shut the cops up with a flash of her credentials, she approached the group and gave a half-ass introduction that still hadn’t said much about who she was.<br><br><strong>I’m not sure exactly what happened here, but I intend to find out.

He had a sick mother to take care of and he would take his bike home wearing his ridiculous getup if he had to. There was still that suitcase of money that he had hidden in The Sake House. Out of all of his daily problems, he just wasn’t ready or willing to deal with this one.</span>

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc446/ffxivghost/SMR002.jpg)</div> <strong>Name:</strong> Sailor Moon<br><strong>Location:</strong> The mean zombie streets! <br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Hideki, everyone! <br><br><hr><br>She closes her eyes and dips her head down a little as she runs just as fast as she can now. And it’s not really all that fast, but you’d think it would be. I mean she’s Sailor Moon. But she doesn’t even know what she’s capable of. She has no idea of her untapped potential, even in something as simple as running. <br><br>But suddenly… she feels someone grab her hand. She lets out a yelp and tries to pull away, assuming it was a zombie. Fearfully she looks out of the corner of her eyes towards the one holding her hand. That’s.. not a zombie… her eyes widen as she gets a look at him.. he’s wearing some kind of.. cape! Oh now she wants a cape! <br><br>She turns the corner and stops with him, taking a moment to catch her breath. She stares up at him through widened blue eyes, barely hearing him ask her if she’s okay. She just stares at him. Still holding his hand, she kind of motions to herself with her other hand as she speaks.&nbsp; &nbsp;“I’m.. I’m Sailor Moon..”&nbsp; &nbsp;Not at all what he asked, not even in the right ballpark, honey. <br><br>She stares at him a moment more, and then she thinks she hears something else. She doesn’t hear anything with her ears, but with her heart. She glances in the direction everyone was now, now that the zombies seemed to be ebbing. She looks back towards Hideki’s eyes, and she smiles shyly as she now pulls her hand from his, taking a few steps back. She keeps her eyes on him as long as she can, before she turns and strides towards the others. <br><br>The white haired woman steps out of her car, kind of demanding of them what is going on. Sailor Moon’s eyes move towards Luna… and she sees another cat!! Oh, it must be Luna’s friend! She bites down on her lower lip to keep herself from running up to the cats and scoop them up and smother them with petting and loving. She stands just outside of the small group of costumed people, looking between them all. Her big blue eyes then move towards the white haired woman, and she now speaks. Her tone is soft, but it has a firm confidence behind it.&nbsp; &nbsp;“What happened.. is evil showed itself tonight. And we stopped it. That’s why we’re here, that’s who we are.”&nbsp; She says with a nod, her hands now on her hips. <br>

				The woman was barely even fazed by contradictory testimony. After all, that was what happened in any situation-people gave conflicting reports about what happened. The truth was either something that was said, or in the middle of it all. "Well, if whatever showed itself tonight was evil, you did a good thing by stopping it." The woman says, and her tone is honestly sincere. "You're all free to go whenever you wish."<br><br>"Hmm? Of course." She said, taking out her credentials and showing them. A scan with the computer goggle shows that any information about them requires higher clearance then Top Secret-wait, that exists? That just makes more questions.<br><br>Luna and Artemis are already wandering off, but seem to be giving each other glares.

Special Task Force and asking them what had happened. While the others piped up, Kurai could only find it odd that there were two cats talking and bickering like an old married couple. She turned to gently face Satomi of her shoulder, her cape flowing a little behind her, shimmering with starlight on the inside. "Keep calm....we're not being taken in or anything like that. We're the heroes here....heroes always make it out somehow." She said gently to Satomi, taking the other girl's hand and grasping it in her own to steady her new friend.<br><br>When she said they were free to go, Kurai took a look around at everyone else as they began to leave, "Come on...Mercury." She said, clearly enough for everyone to hear as they were leaving. The name came out naturally, though why it had came to her tongue she had no idea, simply feeling a familiarity with it. "Let's go to Kinuta Park..." She said, trying to offer up a place to everyone else to meet up once they had managed to change themselves back. Still holding Satomi's hand and hoping that the girl would follow, Kurai slowly walked away from the group, waiting for a long moment till they were out of sight. Her clothing and cape all began to fade, turning to murky and dripping darkness that slithered along her body, sucked into the black gem on her chest as her civilian clothes appeared underneath and the black skull gem formed a ring on her finger instead of a brooch. "We have to meet up with everyone that was there....they have to know something about this." Kurai said to Satomi, not realizing that even after she had changed back she was still holding the other girl's hand in her own.

The meek magical girl looked up at Kurai as she turned over to her, feeling an odd mix of being bashful and calm at the same time as she took her hand and steadied her with words of kind assurance. "Yes, Pluto-san." She replied with a blush, following her with hesitance as she led her down to Kinuta Park. "Agreed, Jikan-san. I presume there must be more zombies than the ones we fought, so maybe one of the saw the cause of it." Satomi replied in like-mindedness, her own costume reverting to a blue ring on her pinky finger.

Flash! Flash! Bunji dropped to his knees in the alley, hands posting out before him to keep his face from becoming buried in the street and heaved his guts. He didn’t know how he had managed to move so quickly, but he wasn’t quite used to the vertigo just yet. Spitting muck from his lips, he sat back on his legs and sighed heavily, feeling the thin sheet of perspiration on his face beginning to cool.<br><br>“Wha…what the hell has happened to me?” he rasped miserably before he raised his metallic hands before his eyes. Turning to sit on his rear for a moment, his arms draped over his knees, Bunji took a moment to breathe. He swallowed mouthfuls of oxygen to keep his insides down and wondered aloud, “How do I take this suit off?”<br><br>As though the gods above had heard him or who knows what, in a burst of green sparkles his armor vanished, leaving him in his suit and tie. Bunji patted his clothes in relief before he rested his hand against the brick wall and used it to rise to his feet. He was still feeling a little sick but that wasn’t about to stop him from going home. His bike was where he had left it and still in the same condition. He left it there temporarily to head back inside the restaurant to receive the briefcase the apparent U.N. liaison had given him. He still didn’t quite understand why she had been trying to bribe him earlier. His blue eyes rolled over the suitcase one last time before he sighed and stepped outside the restaurant. As he locked the place up, he didn’t know if his boss was ever going to return. The city had been shaken by the Zombie Apocalypse, and honestly…the only thing that was on his mind was getting home. Picking up his bike, he mounted it and headed home.<br><br><strong>Bunji’s Apartment</strong><br><br>Just as he pulled into the driveway, the apartment door opened and out ran Matsumi with tears in her eyes.<br><br>“Bunji!” she cried.<br><br>“Is everything all right over here?” the knight asked.<br><br>His mother threw her arms around him and cried into his shoulder. “I saw what happened on the news and I was so scared. Are you all right? The attack wasn’t anywhere near where you work was it?”<br><br>“The attack?” he questioned.<br><br>“The terrorist attack. They were dressed like zombies and wreaking havoc in the streets!”<br><br>Bunji blinked stupidly. Was that the U.N. covering it up? It probably wasn’t just them but the Japanese Defense Force. A zombie apocalypse sounded too absurd to be aired seriously on TV.<br><br>“I am fine. You shouldn’t stress,” he told her.<br><br>“How can I not when you don’t answer your phone?” she exclaimed.<br><br>He gave her an oblivious look before he fished a hand into his pocket to remove his phone. As soon as he flipped it open, he saw that the screen was flickering. Had his powers tampered with it? Matsumi wiped at her eyes with the bottom of her hand and sniffed.<br><br>“You need a new phone,” she noted and then noticed the belt buckle at his waist. His mother stepped back in shock.<br><br>Bunji saw the frightened look she was giving him and then peered down at his belt buckle.<br><br><em>Shit,</em> he thought. He forgot that he was wearing it. Holding out his hands (one was holding the briefcase), he was going to explain this to her carefully, “Wait, just give me a minute before you go jumping to conclusions.”<br><br>She began to shake her head as her eyes welled with tears.<br><br>“No one claimed the buckle. The owner never returned, but I found out that it actually belongs to me.”<br><br>“And how did you get it? You said you wouldn’t buy something like that? Bunji…what’s going on? Why have you been lying to me?”<br><br>“I’m not lying! I’ve only ever been honest with you.”<br><br>“What’s in the briefcase? You didn’t have that when you left.”<br><br>Bunji glanced at it and hesitated to explain. How was he going to explain that? He could barely explain the buckle. Resting a hand against his face, he was starting to get a headache from all the stress. He didn’t want to lie to her for he had just said that he wouldn’t.<br><br>“A strange woman gave it to me. She wanted me to do her a favor and I turned her down.”<br><br>“And she gave you that? What is that?”<br><br>Lowering his hand, Bunji muttered, “It’s money…”<br><br>Matsumi leaned forward a little for she swore she had heard him say money. “…What?”<br><br>Looking to his mother sadly, Bunji repeated a little louder, “It’s money.”<br><br>Matsumi paled. “H-How much?”<br><br>Resting the briefcase on the handlebars, he released the locks and opened it to show her the blanket of yen inside. Matsumi’s hand went to her mouth at the sight of it. <br><br>“You-you give that right back!” she exclaimed.<br><br>“I tried. She wouldn’t take it back. She said that I could have it.”<br><br>“Get rid of it!”<br><br>His brows shot upwards in shock. “But this will pay for your medical bills, and I won’t have to work so many hours. I can work a part-time and be here with you.”<br><br>Matsumi shook her head. “I don’t want money that you didn’t earn. It’s probably stolen.”<br><br>“It’s not stolen. She was with the U.N.!”<br><br>“What would the U.N. want with you?”<br><br>“I don’t know. As I said she wanted me to do a job and I refused. I really think that she was after this,” he explained resting his hand on his buckle. Back to the buckle…“This isn’t a normal buckle. It’s like a weapon or something. Maybe that woman has something to do with it—I don’t know. I’m trying to figure all of this out and it’s a work in progress. Please trust me, Matsumi…I only want to do what’s best for us. I’m not drinking; I didn’t steal anything; you know that. You know I gave all that up. Just please give me a chance…”<br><br>Matsumi could see that her son was just as stressed as she was. She didn’t exactly understand what was going on, but by how the entire situation was affecting him, she knew that he was trying his hardest. She walked over and took her son into her arms. Holding him tight as her tears dripped upon his hair, she said, “I am just so glad that you’re okay. I don’t know what’s going on, but I trust you. I trust that you will handle everything.”<br><br>“I promise,” he vowed.<br><br>Releasing him and wiping her tears from her eyes, Matsumi rested both of her hands upon his wrist and her bright, heart-melting smile had returned to her lips.<br><br>“Let’s get you inside. You must be tired.”<br><br>Bunji smiled and dismounted from his bike. Passing the briefcase into his other hand, he lifted his bike to carry it inside.<br><br>“Have you eaten?” he asked.<br><br>“I couldn’t. I was so worried about you.”<br><br>Stepping through the door, Matsumi closed the door behind her son as he carried his bike into the back.<br><br>“I’ll make us dinner.”<br><br><strong>Dinner</strong><br><br>Matsumi was slowly depositing grains of rice in her mouth over the clatter of chopsticks. She watched her son mesmerized by his sudden appetite. He had made more food than he had ever made for dinner. Did they have money for that? Well, she guessed they did now. He was cramming his cheeks full of white rice, egg, chicken, and beef. He had cooked several dishes more than she could eat. When he tried to consume a whole grilled fish, she lowered her rice bowl and cleared her throat.<br><br>“Ahem! Bun-kun,” she interjected.<br><br>Bunji froze with the fish’s tail hanging from his mouth.<br><br>Blushing softly, Matsumi noted, “Are you…well…did you eat today?”<br><br>“Noff sincff breaffass,” he stammered through the fish. The fish was then whittled down and absorbed like a paper into a paper shredder into his mouth. With a large audible gulp, Bunji grasped his cup of hot green tea and swallowed it down. <br><br>“Aah~” he gasped. “It’s strange. We had breakfast this morning and I feel as though I hadn’t eaten in days.”<br><br>They were eating at the kotatsu that evening. They ate at the western dining table in the morning and settled down for dinner at the traditional table in the evening.<br><br>“Just this morning? You don’t eat lunch?” she questioned.<br><br>Bunji gazed down at his empty rice bowl and answered, “Before today, we didn’t have the money to feed both of us.”<br><br>“Bunji! I don’t want you wasting away over me.”<br><br>“I’m not wasting away! (You’re the one wasting away)” Picking up his bowl, he opened the steamer to scoop him some more rice. “Besides that’s all in the past. Do you want some more rice?”<br><br>Matsumi quietly offered her bowl to him.<br><br>At dinner’s conclusion, Matsumi was staring wide-eyed at her son as he gulped down the last of the green tea. Slamming his cup down like a shot of sake, Bunji leaned back a little with a satisfied gasp. His mother inspected the table noticing that every bowl, dish, and kettle was clean and empty. Even the rice in the steamer was all gone. The knight’s cheeks inflated with gas before a long and heavy belch erupted from his lips. Gasping, Bunji was slowly sinking onto his back.<br><br>“I’m…I’m just going to take a nap,” he informed.<br><br>There was a thud of his back hitting the floor and then the knight was out cold. Matsumi pushed the blanket aside and stood to her feet, walking around the table to marvel the sight of her son as plump as a nikuman (meat bun). She picked a few rice grains from around his mouth and glanced at his work shirt, he looked about ready to pop a few buttons. Her eyes eventually went to the mysterious belt buckle glinting in the lamp light. Glancing at Bunji briefly, she grasped the buckle and unclasped it before sliding the belt from the rungs of his pants. It gave his belly more room to spread out as he sighed pleasantly in his sleep and muttered, <em>Kimochiii~</em>.”<br><br>Matsumi narrowed her eyes and gave her son a strange look before she held up the buckle. She didn’t find a brand name or inscription. She had every desire to throw the item in the trash, but then she remembered her son’s plea. Sighing softly, she wrapped the belt buckle neatly and set it on the table. Lowering to her knees, she then grabbed the blanket and draped it over her son. There was no way that she was going to attempt to move him. He was no longer the little boy that she had once carried in her arms. She remembered always putting him to bed when he would stay up late watching TV with her and his father. He had grown into a big man. Smiling at the small flashback she had, she gathered the dishware and placed it in the sink to be cleaned in the morning. Before she disappeared down the hall, she bade to her sleeping son, “<em>Oyasumi, Bun-kun.</em>”<br><br>Hitting the lights, she went off to bed.</span>

One of the males seems to have other issue but at least that gives the white haired woman incentive to leave them alone for now. <br><br>At least one of the girls had the right idea of inviting the others to meet up. Sure they were missing a few but she guessed that it was simply matter of time and as for the leaving guy… let the cats deal with him. She nodded at the leaving Pluto who was also pulling Mercury with her, “Sounds like a good idea but… I think tomorrow like… say… 2 PM? Might be better. It doesn’t look like there will be another “incident” today and some of us may have… issue to deal with first.”<br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w124/Twin-Dragon/Kosame_Hisakaki_1.jpg)</div>She let the others voice their own thought and reached agreement before leaping away. She went for several blocks until she reached a place not so far from the convention hall she had been at and noticed the dozens of people gathered not far from the spot before slipping into a nearby alley as she undo her transformation. She sighed as the skimpy outfit disappeared and replaced by the costume that she had been wearing before walking out of the alley and placed a call to her family’s security company to send someone to pick her up.<br><br>It was about half an hour later when she made it back to her house sitting at the back of a black sedan. She exited the car and immediately heard the front door slammed open followed by familiar steps before she found her vision filled by familiar shade of brown as her petite seour Lilianna had tackled and hugged her. The brunette had tears streaming down her eyes as she spoke between sobs, “Onee-sama… I’m so glad you’re okay… I’m so worried… The TV showed the hall was overrun with those terrorists and… and….”<br><br>Mizuki pat the younger girl as she hugged her back gently with shushes to calm her down. The blonde couldn’t help but notice that the brunette in her arms was naked as they day she was born meaning that she had followed her house rule… and in her rush to see her, had neglected in putting on clothes before rushing out. Any other day and situation, she would be teasing the brunette about it but as it stood, she didn’t have the heart to do it.<br><br>Mizuki smiled as she half-pulled-half-dragged the still attached brunette up the stairs and back into the safety of the main house. It took some coaxing before Lilianna released her and allowed her to take off her clothes and handed them to the waiting maid. As she was stripping, a butler came and spoke to her, “Ojou-sama, Master and Mistress are in the family room. I think they would be very glad to know you’re okay.” The blonde nodded at the butler and thanked him with a smile.<br><br>Once she too was completely naked, Mizuki took the brunette’s hand in hers as they headed toward the main family room. As she approached, another butler opened the door for her and true enough, her parents were inside, sitting on the couch while watching the news by the look of it. As expected, only her father wore normal clothes of shirt and shorts while her mother was also naked. Both of them immediately stood up the moment she appeared on the doorway and approached her in a hurry.<br><br>Both of them hugged her as they gushed over her safety and making sure there was no harm happened on her before finally released her. Mizuki couldn’t help but feel touched by their care as she spoke, part of her was considering telling them the truth… but she quickly decided otherwise as she couldn’t really explain when she didn’t have the entire information either and telling them right now would just worry them unnecessarily, “Otou-sama, Okaa-sama, I’m perfectly fine. I was already with the other evacuates when the terrorists rushed in.”<br><br>It took a while before she managed to calm everyone down and they sat on the couches, Lilianna had refused to be separated and chose to sit next to her while still holding her hand. A maid came and served a fresh pot of tea and cookies on the table before exiting, leaving the four of them in private.<br><br>It was several hours later when they finally retreated to their own rooms. Lilianna had stayed for dinner when the mother, noticing the the brunette were reluctant to be away from her grande seour, offered her to stay for the night which the younger girl readily accepted. A phone call later to get permission from the girl’s parents and promise that she would be home the next day, the brunette found herself sharing a room and bed with Mizuki despite the readily available guest rooms.<br><br>As the younger of the two went to get cleaned up, Mizuki opened the glass door to her terrace overlooking the back garden. Seemingly speaking to the wind, she spoke sharply with her arms folded on her chests as if scolding someone, “Artemis, you’re here, aren’t you? Come out, will you?”<br><br>Sure enough, a familiar white cat with bright yellow crescent moon mark on its forehead jumped from a nearby tree and climbed the wall before sitting on top of the marble railing seemingly without a care in the world. Mizuki narrowed her eyes at the cat as she spoke again, “Where have you been? You’re supposed to find me yet I ended up finding out the hard way.”<br><br>That cat smiled as he spoke cheerily, “Oh, you remembered me? That’s a surprise… none of the others seem to remember anything about the previous incarnations… and you even look incredibly similar to Minako….” Mizuki shook her head as she replied, “Not everything… just bits and pieces mostly just familiar feelings. I don’t even recognize most of the others though I can guess which is which… though I was pretty sure there wasn’t any male warrior before other than Tuxedo Kamen… was there?”<br><br>The two chatted back and forth, mostly Mizuki complaining about the cat slacking off, for several minutes before they heard the sound of the bathroom door clicked open. Without needing told, Artemis jumped away and disappeared into the night just as Lilianna emerged from the bathroom. They had came up with a plan to get him to stay with her... but for tonight, he would need to stay in the garden, out of sight but definitely there and keeping a close eye to her... he IS her guardian afterall.<br><br>Pretending not to notice, Mizuki stayed at her place as if she was just admiring the night when she felt a presence behind her followed by pair of slender arms that snaked around her stomach and the warm feeling of her petite seour’s body pressing against her back. Mizuki relaxed in her petite seour’s embrace as she heard the younger girl slurred against her ear, “Onee-sama….”<br><br>The slender arms around her stomach slowly rose until they reached her breasts and start kneading them. Mizuki let out some soft moans yet made no attempt to stop their movement against her mammary glands. Her pink nipples slowly harden as the pleasure build up inside her and she felt the other girl’s fingers soon found them and gave those nubs some fondling and rubbing of their own, even giving them some soft pinches which elicited louder moan from her lips.<br><br>As she continued the ministration, Lilianna asked once again softly though this time her voice was laced thick with concern and arousal, “What exactly happened out there, Onee-sama? You might be able to trick Lisa-obaasama and Ryuu-ojiisama but you can’t fool me… There was something you weren’t telling us….” Mizuki had to smile as she listened to the brunette even amidst her rising arousal, ‘Trust Lilianna to figure it out….’ She spoke between moans as she answered the girl, “I’m… not sure either, Lilianna. You knew about the… earlier happening at that jewelry shop? Well… similar thing happened… but I can’t really understand it until I got my hand on the whole information.”<br><br>It had been the truth yet it wasn’t the whole truth and Mizuki knew that Lilianna knew that but the younger girl soon nodded as she spoke, “I understand….” Suddenly, the younger girl’s tone changed to mirth and playful as she continued to bring out more moans from the blonde, “Now, onee-sama… shall we continue this on the bed or would you prefer we do it here in the open?”<br>

Well some of them. Luna said there were like 30 of them, right? Her memory might be off on that one. And now they were a team. And now.. now what? Was this the grand evil that they were brought here to fight? I mean is that it? It didn’t feel like much of a fight to her. But perhaps that’s because she was busy running and crying the entire time. And with that thought, her mind drifts to the man that had saved her. She looks in the general direction he was in, and then slowly back towards the group, a faint blush in her cheeks. <br><br>Her gaze moves towards Pluto and Mercury as they start to move off, and Sailor Moon nods as she says Kinuta Park. She knows where that is. She thinks. Google knows where that is.&nbsp; Her eyes then move to Venus as she says what time they should meet, and she nods again.&nbsp; “Right!”&nbsp; The other blond, she must be the leader of the group! Just the way she carries herself.. her tone, her confidence! She’s so cool.. Sailor Moon smiles brightly as she stares (almost creeper like) at Venus, and then Venus is gone. <br><br>Sailor Moon blinks and realizes she should get away too, that’s what heroes do! They save the day, and then they disappear into the day! Well actually.. this time they save the day, and then they disappear into the day.. She takes a step back from the gathered cars, and she leaps away as Sailor Venus had, bounding away from the scene, just as she did when she arrived.&nbsp; <br><br>She lands on a rooftop not far from her dorm room, and with faint focus she transforms back into her normal clothing. She can’t help but grin as she looks down at herself.&nbsp; &nbsp;“This is so cool!”&nbsp; she says in an excited whisper. She looks up towards the sky, her mind lingering on Sailor Venus, how awesome she seemed! Yeah, she has to be their leader. She nods to herself and now strides towards the edge of the roof. And then she stops..blinking as she looks over the ledge. She then turns and looks along the rooftop… and in a high pitched whine&nbsp; &nbsp;“I can’t get down!”<br><br>&nbsp;<div class="floatleft">(http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc446/ffxivghost/UsagiPossible/003.jpg)</div> <br>So she has to transform again, and now she leaps down from the roof of the building into a small grove of trees. Being careful to make sure no one is around.. she once again transforms back into her civilian clothing. And then she emerges from the trees as if nothing had happened, smiling proud of herself for being so clever. She practically jogs to her dorm room then, and she calls out as she closes her door behind her.&nbsp; &nbsp;“Luna! Are you still here!? Did you bring that pretty white kitty too?! Did you see me in action?! Who were those others?! Luna!!”&nbsp; She shouts at the top of her lungs, clearly very excited. And.. clearly having recovered none of her memories of her past life… <br>

				<div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Kinuta Park, 1930 Hours</span></strong></div><br>The man known now as Terra Knight followed the small group heading to the park. Since Pluto declared she was heading that way, they went that way as well. "Who was that woman?" Luna asked, to which Artemis gave the kitty equivalent of a shrug. "Beats me. Knowing our luck, she's the reincarnation of Queen Beryl." "Doubtful. Beryl barely seemed to grasp the concept of a Fire Department. Having United Nations credentials doesn't seem her style." Artemis shook his head. "I have to go keep an eye on Venus. Can you-" "I can handle the rest of the Senshi, and their new Knights. Though Jupiter seems to have disappeared." "He'll be back. And so will I!" Artemis said, before taking off.<br><br>Once the group reached the park, a few, smaller kitties appeared. One was grey, another had a mottled black/blonde coat, and the third was pure black like Luna was. Each of them sported the same crescent symbol on their heads. "Good, you're all safe." Luna said. "And most of the team is here. Artemis is heading off after Venus, Jupiter Knight is Serenity knows where...and now Moon's run off. Ah well. I'll catch up with her later. The important part is most of us are assembled here."<br><br>The three approach the Sailors and Knights, with the grey one speaking first. "Greetings, I am Diana, first of Luna's children." The mottled one spoke up. "That's only relevant because you're old enough to have seen the last set. Anyway, I'm Amaterasu-you can call me Amy if you prefer." She says. The last one speaks with a distinctly male voice, as opposed to every other talking cat so far (except Artemis, obviously). "I am Midnight." If the Sailors could read minds, they would find that Amy and Diana were already making plenty of stupid jokes. Clearly a name chosen by Artemis.<br><br>"I'm sure you have a lot of questions..." Luna begins, before Terra Knight speaks up. "Starting with what the hell happened? I had a crazy dream, then I wake up and eventually find out I'm, what, the Terra Knight? What does that even mean?" Luna nods. "I'll explain. At least, the relevant parts. There's at least three generations of history behind all this but there's no time for that. What you need to know is that you are reincarnations of ancient heroes and guardians from eons ago. There was a group before you, sadly, no Knights in that round. Even at half strength, they managed...quite a lot." She seems hesitant to say what happened. "Right now, you're all rather weak, on account of having been these legendary heroes for all of 12 hours. But you managed to handle a crowd of zombies quite easily." <br><br>Diana pipes up. "Where did the zombies come from?" "I have no idea." Luna replies. "No controller behind them, either. Just a bunch of zombies. But let's not throw open the floor to theories yet." The cats looked up to the new heroes. "Where was I? Actually, perhaps it would be better if you asked the questions that I'm sure are burning a hole in your skull."<br><br><div align="center">For the Sailors/Knights that ditched the scene like smart people</div><br>The terrorist report airing on the news, as it is literally minutes after the story broke, are proclaiming "no confirmed deaths, though a few injuries are reported". Later in the night, the story will change to "no deaths confirmed". If nothing else, it is a heartwarming note that everyone made it out alive, and quite possibly thanks to a lot of you.

				Luna gave a small sigh. "Luck, mostly. None of you chose to be born as the reincarnations of the Sailors. Mercury Knight, Terra Knight, you two didn't chose to be born as the reincarnations of the Knights, either. None of you chose to be heroes. I know. The last group didn't choose to be either." She seemed to be at a loss for words, until Midnight spoke up. "You may not have chosen it, but you have been given it. Your choice now is how you will use it." Diana suddenly giggled. "What's so funny?" Midnight asked. "Oh nothing. I'm just reminded of how often Ami used the Mercury Goggle to ace her tests-not by cheating, but by heavy cramming the night before. Girl knew how to use her power, at least."<br><br>Luna shushed her children before looking at the rest. "I will be honest, this is a quite different set of circumstances. Though you may be the reincarnations of the old heroes, you would not have even been, well, 'activated' unless there was a major threat. I thought there weren't any more..." She fell silent again. This time, Amy picked up. "Mom...you never said...what happened to the last group?" Luna sighed again. "They disappeared. No villain ever arose after they did, though, so I thought they had won..." "Perhaps they did." Amy speculated. "But now there's a new villain trying to undo that? Villains messing with time isn't exactly a new thing for us." "It doesn't feel like messing with time...it feels like something else." Luna said. "But, we've rambled on enough. Back to the point, this many Sailors haven't activated at once before. And Knights haven't ever been a thing. Sailor Pluto, your past life was spent guarding a gate at the edge of time, now you're here. Why? How? I can't tell. There's something big coming. Something we're all needed for."

				"Well..." Luna said. "Sailor Moon isn't just a guardian soldier. She's the reincarnation of the Queen. And, since you are Terra Knight...that would make you the King-in a way." Diana, of all the cats, seemed taken aback by this. "Let's not be too hasty." Luna said, gathering the looks of the crowd. "No one's expecting you to suddenly start ruling over anything." She nervously chuckled. <br><br>"Perhaps we should call it a night." Midnight suggested. "Yes, indeed." Luna agreed. "We will follow as many of you as we can.

Cloudy and overcast, it seemed as if the city itself was in a slump thanks to last night. Police were either increasing patrols, or the Sailors and their Knights were just seeing it more. Maybe both.

Now came another blow, at about 5 pm. An unnatural darkness formed a sphere near where the zombies arose yesterday. Perhaps a poor place to manifest as soldiers were nearby. They raised their guns...<br><br>The sphere dissipated. In its place, a robed figure (http://orig10.deviantart.net/b5b5/f/2007/297/5/f/dark_wizard_revis_by_capprotti.jpg) stood. The military commanded him to identify himself. The figure said nothing. They moved to fire, but as the bullets flew, a wall of bones was raised around the figure, stopping the shots cold. The wall faded away when the bullets stopped. <br><br><em>"RUN!"</em><br><br>The figure commanded, and the soldiers did so. If asked later, they would reply that they didn't know why they ran. When he said to run, though, they felt the overwhelming need to run away, very fast, and so they did. Civilians did so as well, if there were any around. <br><br>But the Sailors and Knights-if any were in the area-would feel no compulsion. They would feel an unnatural power behind the word. A magic, a strength born of unholy darkness. The robed figure was not done, however. Cars were upturned and thrown like toys. Glass windows shattered, fire hydrants exploded. All with just a thought from the man.<br><br>"Where are the heroes of Man?" The figure demanded. "Sailors, Knights, if you would call yourselves 'heroes', then come, and FIGHT! Or this city will burn." <br><br>"It's a trap." Any of the cats would say, and indeed, the heroes could tell. Perhaps this man was the threat spoken of...the reason they had been 'activated'. Still, there was no sitting this one out. He threatened to burn Tokyo. Who could stop him but the heroes of light?<br><br>If (okay when) the heroes arrived, the figure would say nothing. Indeed, once the heroes began to arrive, his magical rampage would cease. He waited, it seemed, for them to throw the first punch...

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc446/ffxivghost/SMR002.jpg)</div> <strong>Name:</strong> Sailor Moon<br><strong>Location:</strong> Central Tokyo<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Everyone! <br><br><hr>She had missed the impromptu meeting of the Senshi and the Knights.. she simply didn’t realize that it was happening! That seems to happen a lot to Meus. She gets confused very easily, to the point her parents have to really spell out things for her. And her friends. And anyone she has ever encountered. <br><br>But the next day she was trying to live her normal life. Classes.. meeting her friends.. but her mind was on the day previous. Indeed much of the topic of conversation was the ‘zombies’. Her friend that was down in the middle of that, she spoke of the sudden appearance of heroes… and Mesu had to resist the urge to brag. Oh she wanted to, and so badly. But she knew she couldn’t. She thought that perhaps telling one person wouldn’t hurt.. but she couldn’t. Maybe she’ll ask Luna if it would be okay to share her secret.. about this new power. <br><br>But she hadn’t seen Luna all day.. and she was starting to get worried. <br><br>The afternoon rolls around, and Mesu is sitting at her laptop looking up information about the original group of Sailor Senshi. She finds this to be a difficult task, since it’s hard to tell what’s fact and what’s opinion. She’s starting to feel frustrated, for lack of better terms. If she’s going to be this grand hero or whatever she’s supposed to be.. she needs to know where she came from, right? Rather.. where this power came from. <br><br>But as she finds yet another bad Senshi fansite.. she feels a sudden stomach ache come on. Weird.. she didn’t eat anything unusual.. unusual for her, that is. Maybe she had 6 to many choco koalas? No, no that’s not possible! She leans back on the little couch in her dorm, staring blankly at the laptop screen. It has a blurry picture of someone that’s supposed to be Sailor Mercury.. the original Sailor Mercury. But the picture is so bad, it could be bigfoot for all she knows. As she stares, her fingers wrap loosely about the crystal wand that has been sitting at her side this whole time. She feels a sudden wave of.. nausea.. and she shakes her head a little, her fingers tightening against the wand. She then looks down at it.. and the crystal of the wand is glowing very gently, discretely. <br><br>“Hm?”&nbsp; <br><br>She says softly as she now sits up, hefting the wand properly. She turns it in her hand as she frowns a little… something is wrong. Yes, this feeling in the pit of her stomach… the wand reacting to something. Her fingers tighten around the wand, and she looks towards the window leading out to her balcony. She doesn’t know what it wrong, but she knows something is wrong. And she follows that instinct… and she is gone from her room, heading in the direction that she and the Heroes of Men fought the ‘zombies’. <br><br>Almost 20 minutes pass, and she emerges. She stands perhaps 100 feet in front of the robed man, her long now strawberry blond hair swaying gently in the day’s breeze. She transformed quickly on the way, feeling that she didn’t have the time to waste. And at this moment.. she’s the only one here. But that’s okay.. she can do this! It’s too bad the look on her face isn’t that convincing. Big blue eyes stare at the robed man, her hands in fists at her side. So much wanton destruction around her, and for what? He stops the rampage, one apparently meant to get her attention, and it did. But… now what does she do? She can’t just attack him, that doesn’t feel right. <br><br>She takes a single step forward, her hands still in fists at her sides. But that’s just to keep the robed man from seeing how her hands are trembling.&nbsp; &nbsp; “A.. are you the one.. behind that attack yesterday? Just who are you?!”&nbsp; &nbsp;Ha, that showed him! <br>&nbsp;<br>

				<div class="floatleft">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/HlySd/BunjiAvy_zpsrx4zqdxu.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Sagawa Bunji<br><strong>Location:</strong>&nbsp; Bunji's Apartment --&gt; Sake Garden --&gt; Streets of Tokyo<br><strong>Tagging:</strong>&nbsp; Open <strong>Mentioned:</strong> Sailor Moon<br><br><hr><hr><br><br><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font">“Bun-kun!”<br><br>Matsumi nudged the slumbering knight with her bunny slipper. He was sleeping like a rock—unmovable and could not be stirred. He was snoring softly—something he rarely did—and a stream of drool was making a wet spot on the carpet. His mother nudged him again a little harder.<br><br>“Bunji!”<br><br>The fighter’s eyes cracked open and he stared groggily at the pair of smiling rabbits that were before his face. For a moment, he didn’t seem to take much notice until everything suddenly caught up to him. Bunji sat up in a start and the blanket of the kotatsu went flying over the clean table.<br><br>“What time is it?” he asked in a panic.<br><br>“5:30. Bun-kun, I tried to wake you. I’m surprised you woke up now.”<br><br>Springing to his feet, the knight exclaimed, “I’m going to be late!”<br><br>He bolted down the hall, fighting his undershirt that was suddenly trying to restrict his movements.<br><br>“Wha-what the?”<br><br>He stopped and flapped his arms a little, feeling the material as taut as taut could be. It had fit him just fine last night. He didn’t have time to figure it out. Battling the clingy garment as he burst into his room, he barely managed to get free of it so that he could get out of his work pants and into a towel.<br><br>“Bun-kun, I’ll make you some toast okay?” Matsumi yelled.<br><br>“Sure. Whatever!”<br><br>Running out of his room with a towel about his hips, he shouldered into the bathroom and kicked the door behind him closed; and then, he froze upon looking at the mirror. Bunji felt a shock of well…shock shoot up his spine. His mouth fell open when he gazed upon the body that he was seeing in the mirror. His towel fell from his suddenly weak grip as he stepped closer to the sink. He looked as though he had been pounding pre-workout and protein shakes.<br><br>“What the fuck!?” he accidentally exclaimed.<br><br>“Bun-kun, is something wrong?”<br><br>He slapped a hand over his mouth as he heard Matsumi’s voice grow louder until she was standing outside the bathroom door.<br><br>“Is everything all right in there?”<br><br>He couldn’t tear his eyes away from the mirror as he crossed and uncrossed his arms, watching his muscles shift beneath his flesh. This had to be the most fit he’s ever been in his life!<br><br>“N-nothing’s wrong, I’m good!”<br><br>“Are you sure? You sound nervous.”<br><br>“Matsumi…this is one of those times that we talked about where a man shouldn’t be disturbed.”<br><br>His mother’s cheeks glowed pink before she turned away in embarrassment as though a door hadn’t been between them.<br><br>“Oh! Sorry! I’ll-I’ll just go back to the kitchen!” she frantically apologized before she scurried away. <em>Right now? I thought that he was going to be late.</em><br><br>Bunji curiously stepped over to the scale and when the dial blurred, he felt his blood run cold upon seeing the number it had halted on.<br><br>(http://media1.giphy.com/media/1FpxFCobvJra/giphy.gif)<br><br><em>23 kg!? (50 lbs)</em><br>(<strong>Note:</strong> <em>This is when Bunji actually became 225 lbs.</em>)<br><br>Had that been from solely dinner? He did prepare a lot of meats but…shit, he was going to be late!<br><br>Into the shower and out in ten, Bunji had managed to squeeze into a work uniform. None of his shirts had fit and he barely got the sleeves pulled down on his jacket. He had pocketed some money and absently didn’t think anything of the belt buckle that was still neatly sitting on the kotatsu. He carried his bike toward the door and snatched the toast that Matsumi held on a plate for him and kissed her on the cheek. He saw her gawking. She normally wouldn’t let him leave the house looking disheveled but his current attire had her stunned. He wasn’t able to button his undershirt passed the expanse of his chest and upper ribs and his sleeves were restricting his arm movement. His pants were uncomfortably tight about the crotch area and thighs and even as he waddled passed her, Matsumi was following him like a storm.<br><br>“Goodbye Matsumi! Be safe,” Bunji quickly bade. He wasn’t in the mood to try and explain the strange things that were happening.<br><br>“Bunji Matheson!” she exclaimed.<br><br>Aw shit, he knew he was in serious trouble now. He walked a little faster and once outside, he mounted his bike like a horse in mid-sprint and sped out of there.<br><br>“Bunji!” she yelled after him and puffed her cheeks in anger. She couldn’t believe that he actually left the house in such small clothes. He should have known that that outfit wouldn’t fit.<br><br><strong>Sake Garden</strong><br><br>It had been a humiliating ride into Tokyo, but he was glad that he had made it to work. Unfortunately, he seemed to be the only one that had made it. The kitchen looked the same way he had left it and when he walked into the dining area for the first time since last night, he was surprised to see all the flipped tables, broken dishware, and clutter that littered the place. He could see where last night’s struggle with the zombies had occurred and the flies seemed to be enjoying the rank feast. Raising a sleeve to his nose, he turned from the dining area to investigate the manager’s office. He had left the restaurant billing notices but cleaned out the Sake Garden’s funds.<br><br>Frowning a little, Bunji thought, <em>He better hope that I don’t see him again.</em><br><br>The money that he had gotten from the U.N. was a blessing. If that woman had never given it to him, then he would have had no way to help him and his mother. He was now officially jobless.<br><br>“Damn it…,” he cursed. It was going to be awhile before he could get hired again, and he didn’t think he was going to convince any employer with his current outfit.<br><br>Today’s task list was going to be: new clothes, job search, and then buy more groceries for the house. It seemed simple enough.<br><br><strong>Afternoon</strong><br><br>By afternoon, Bunji had on a crisp, dark-grey suit—ten times better than the last outfit he had been wearing. There had been a few restaurants desperate to hire him but all didn’t have the type of pay he was looking for. They wanted to pay him minimum wage and he felt that his cuisine was above that. He was feeling desperate. The suitcase money was supposed to solely be for Matsumi. The thought of his mother just then reminded him to pick up some groceries when suddenly a man shoulder-checked him. However, it had been the man who had ran into him that was in more pain.<br><br>Bunji’s head snapped over his shoulder to watch the bastard run. His hackles were raised as though someone had just attempted to pick a fight with him but as more people dodged around him, he realized that practically every citizen in his vicinity were running as though Gojira was attacking.<br><br><strong>Where are the Heroes of Man?...Sailors, Knights, if you would call yourselves ‘heroes,’ then come, and FIGHT! Or this city will burn.</strong><br><br>Not another situation…he had to be dreaming. His hand went to the pocket of his dress pants, finding only his wallet in the right and broken cellphone—why did he still carry that thing around?—in the other. Bunji paled a little. He had forgotten that <em>stupid</em> belt buckle. He also didn’t have the gloves that had come with it. He hadn’t thought anything of it. His life wasn’t supposed to go this way. He wasn’t a hero. Zombie apocalypses didn’t happen! Neither did some grim-reaper guy magically appearing in Tokyo!<br><br>A strange girl dressed in crazy cosplay…wait. He knew that girl—well, he didn’t exactly <em>know</em> her, but he had seen her last night at the huddle around the talking cats—that made logical sense…She seemed to be confronting the baddie alone and he couldn’t help but feel that that was a bad idea. If the guy was able to send the entire city running (which really didn’t take much actually—any terrorist could achieve that), then he was serious business.<br><br>Bunji was suddenly feeling vulnerable. He didn’t want for the creepy robed guy to see him. Stepping into an alley, he pressed his back against the wall and struck it angrily with his fist.<br><br><em>Damn it! Why does this have to be happening to me right now? Why couldn’t it have been someone else? I don’t even live in the city!</em> Bunji thought.<br><br>He needed to return to his bike and then perhaps figure a way around the situation so he didn’t have to get involved. At least not until he got home to get that belt buckle…or…if he managed to get home he probably wouldn’t have bothered to return to the city.<br></span>

Kurai, Satomi, the other girls and guys gathered around, they were all reincarnations of the previous Sailor Scouts and Knights. Kurai had heard of the group of heroes in passing every now and then, especially&nbsp; considering her line of work and Magical Girl shows, but to be told that she was somehow the reincarnation of Sailor Pluto, someone who even the cats claimed had last been known to guard a gate at the very edge of time, was something very large to swallow. Luna and the other cats seemed to agree that, for now, it was best to take the night and try to calm down from their ordeal today.&nbsp; Kurai couldn't have agreed more, so, saying her goodbyes to Satomi and exchanging cell numbers with the young woman, Kurai waved to her and smiled gently. "Mm...Sailor Pluto, before you go. " A voice came from behind Kurai as she was walking away. She turned to find a black butterball of a kitten with a crescent moon on it's forehead, the one that had identified as Midnight, "My parents, siblings, and I are tasked with looking over the Senshi and Knights, and...well, you seem to be a capable sort. I wish to come along with you." Midnight said to Kurai, looking at her with expressive eyes as if begging to go with the one that would likely require the least amount of work. "Eh? W-Well my apartment does allow pets, so..I mean, I guess so." Kurai said with a shrug of her shoulders. She reached down and gently picked up the pudgy kitty. Her black gem shone with an ethereal darkness as Kurai transformed into her Senshi outfit. <br><br>Her star filled cloak transformed itself as Kurai took off into the sky, Midnight clutching at her and yowling as he was suddenly lifted into the sky. "Calm down! I've got a good grip on you!" Kurai said, trying to ignore the claws in her arm as she carried Midnight off to her apartment, a cat that was slowly beginning to regret his choice of partners. They arrived, slipping onto Kurai's balcony under a cloak of darkness that would make it impossible for others to see her, and she transformed back to normal before opening the balcony door and slipping inside.<br><br><br><br><div align="center">---The Next Day---</div><br>"Hey, Hey, hey, hey, hey...." Midnight's deep male voice sounded, paws poking at Kurai's face as she slept on her bed. The sleeping girl grunted and yawned, opening her eyes just a little. "W-What?" She asked Midnight with a pout at being woken up. "Well I could say that it's not good for young ladies to sleep in...but I need some food!" Midnight said with a pout, stomach grumbling as if in response. "Right right...geez..." Kurai said softly, slowly shifting and getting up. Her body ached a little from the day before, with all of her combat movements taking a slight toll on her untrained body. While she was expected to keep a fit appearance, Kurai rarely did anything as intensive as yesterday. "Hmm.." She went to the fridge and opened it up, looking inside for a moment. "Tuna ok?" She asked Midnight. "Tuna would be fantastic!" Midnight said happily, and began eating as soon as it was placed in front of him. Kurai poked his little pudgy belly as he ate, shaking her head, "Looks like you already eat enough as it is, you know." She said gently. "Hmmph! I'll have you know that's muscle, thank you! I'm a mighty warrior of light!" Midnight said, puffing out his kitten chest proudly. "Right......Well I'm off work today either way, so eat up. Probably just going to be a lazy day as long as no one attacks the city or something."<br><br>Kurai shifted over to the Sofa, and took out her cell phone, bring up Satomi's phone number. She thought about calling, though figured that it would be a bit too forward to do so. Instead she opted for a simple text. -"Hey. Last night was pretty crazy. Shame those Zombies ruined our time together. Maybe we can meet up again later and hang out again."- her thumb hit the send button, sending her message off to Satomi quickly, and Kurai turned to find Midnight sitting beside her on the Sofa, paw on the remote as he flipped through channels. "Mm...honestly, nothing good is ever on." Midnight said with a hint of boredom. "Are you...sure you're supposed to be a guide?" Kurai asked him questioningly, shaking her head at the pudgy kitten flipping through her TV channels. Even two days ago if someone had told her zombies were real, magical girls existed, and that she would have a pudgy black cat named Midnight that could talk and enjoy TV like a normal person, she would have called them crazy and had a restraining order drawn up. But now that these things were reality, Kurai looked at the black gem on her finger, having turned into a skull ring of darkest black.<br><br>A few hours passed as Kurai and Midnight watched TV, watching a news report on the Zombie attack from yesterday. The two of them were about to call it a nap-day and head to bed, when suddenly a breaking story hit the scene as reports began to come in of some disturbance in Tokyo, people reporting in about flipped cars and military personnel running away from something. That was when Kurai's ring chattered on her finger, clacking and clambing and vibrating as it's eyes suddenly sparked to life, and Midnight and Kurai both heard the call of magic, the man that had sent them a direct message and threat. "Where are the heroes of man?" Her ring clacked, shaking and vibrating on her finger, "Sailors, Knights, if you would call yourselves 'heroes', then come, and FIGHT! Or this city will burn," the ring clambered on, before falling silent. <br><br>Kurai looked at Midnight for a moment, "It's a trap." &nbsp;The male cat said in a serious voice, seemingly having lost his lazy attitude. "Of course it's a trap." Kurai said simply, shaking her head. "You can't just run in there blindly, Sailor Pluto." Midnight said to her seriously. Kurai shook her head, "My name is Kurai...and no, <em>I</em> can't run in there blindly....but Sailor Pluto can, and she will." Kurai said, standing up. She felt it, the darkness the man was using, the darkness that was by rights hers...or at least Sailor Pluto's. Anger seemed to course through the back of her head as she thought about how it was being used for evil, and with a single movement she was transformed into her Senshi outfit. "Stay here. It'll be safer for you to be away from the fight." She said to Midnight, reaching down and patting his little pudgy head, "Besides, if I mess up I'll need a strong warrior of light to back a maiden of darkness like me up, right?" She said with a playful wink. Moving to the balcony again, Kurai's cloak changed into black wings and she took to the skies, soaring off to where the disturbance was.<br><br>Her scythe was the first to arrive, cast down spinning and landing blade first in the asphalt, handle sticking out at an angle not far from the man of darkness, Sailor Moon, and Nakamura. Wings of pitchblack faded into her starry cloak again as Kurai landed on the handle of the scythe, pointing at the man of darkness that seemed a threat she couldn't possibly hope to defeat. "I heard your message, and I came to take the darkness inside you. In the name of Pluto and the Darkness of the universe, I will punish you!"

The frantic girl's dreams were sweet though, as despite them starting as nightmares about zombies, they ended with Kurai saving her and carrying her away bridle style. She woke up with a bright blush of red, as the dreams from her sleep still remained quite fresh in her head. Satomi went about her normal morning routine, finding out from an email from the university that classes were cancelled today due to yesterday's zombie attack. She replied to the incoming text with "I'd really like that.&nbsp; When would you like to meet up?", a text that sounded much more composed and cool than the bashful girl on the other end. A few hours later, she was very much startled as a threatening message was emitting from her ring that challenged the group. Nonetheless, Satomi's moral fiber was naggingly pushing her along, resulting in her skiing across two streams of water to the scene in her sailor outfit a couple minutes later. The meek magical girl would be behind Sailor Pluto for most of the speeches, as moral fiber didn't exactly dispense action phrases.

It wasn’t sense of duty that pushed her to the battle, she simply love the people of this city too much to let them get hurt. For better or for worse, if going to her death would spare them then that is exactly what she would do.<br><br>With her improved physical ability as a senshi, it didn’t take long before Venus arrived and joined the rest of the party.

				"You do not strike first. Fascinating. I did not expect such restraint from you..." He seemed to take a breath before the final word:<br><br>"Murderers." <br><br>"If you would speak of crimes and punishment, then know where you come from. Know what you have done. But of course, you do not. A beautiful lie of your power. You have no knowledge of the ones who came before." He teleported, or perhaps moved faster then the eye could perceive. In front of Mesu, he stopped and glared. "You, the Queen, worst of all...but know this. It was not I who released those zombies yesterday. If it had been me, you would have been overrun by ten times the number you fought." Oddly, the tone of his voice sounded...sincere. But there was little time to dwell on pleasantries, however. The man performed an open palm strike to Mesu's chest, sending her flying from the impact!<br><br>Next he teleported to Bunji, and though his face was obscured, one could almost see the smile of him catching a Knight with his pants down. Bunji would find himself lifted and thrown, out of the alley and into a solid object-or perhaps just the ground. "I am not surprised. A 'male' reincarnation of Makoto is a mere coward." <br><br>Mercury Knight, who he then teleports to, seems to get a slight bit of respect...the Knight gets neck-lifted, but at least the evil bastard is willing to crack a joke: "You answered." He says-as he slams MK to the ground. <br><br>Sailor Pluto, however, gets a laugh. "You say you will take my darkness...I AM DARKNESS! I AM NIGHTMARE!" The wizard pulls off a spinning jump kick that is almost text-book perfect, kicking Kurai off her scythe...which the man then BREAKS with another kick. Okay he breaks the handle, but still, weapon broken. While the woman is still on the ground, the wizard gives her a stomp on the chest for good measure. <br><br>With Sailor Mercury standing right where Pluto was, well, who do you think would be the next target? With her being quiet and restrained, she is dealt with swiftly. Via a massive assault of heavy punches that left her on the ground.<br><br>Terra Knight would then feel the wizard's attention fall on him. "Then, the mountain will fall!" He declares, sweeping the Knight's legs and as the knight falls, he feels the wizard's foot on his back slamming him into the ground harder. "What a fight for the King of Earth." The wizard snarks.<br><br>Finally, Sailor Venus. Another who gets a nod of respect-at least, it seems. "I remember Minako making all the cliche declarations of love and punishment. I like the new model." But not enough to not give her a boot to the head, it seems.<br><br>The Sailors and their Knights were left bleeding, broken, on the ground and in immense pain. The wizard looking around, before laughing. "Pathetic! You ask who I am, I will grant you that out of pity. I am Nox Arcana. I am your nightmare...and it is just beginning." From beneath his robe, tendrils of a dark, unholy power flowed, grabbing onto the Sailors and Knights, and pouring into them pure corruption. The light that powered them, the light of their powers, it was fading...<br><br>Fading...<br><div align="center">fading...</div><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">fading...</span></div><br><br><br>This is such an affront to the powers of Light that the Crystals feel they must act. The various trinkets that the Sailors and Knights use to transform-even Bunji's-materialize in front of them, glowing with a powerful light, basking the heroes in its power. The corruption poured into them is changed, and instead of falling to evil, the heroes feel even greater then before. And, to boot, they are completely healed. <br><br>(All players may add the power <strong>Dream Acclimation</strong> to their sheets)<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Dream Acclimation:</div><div class="spoiler_body">This power allows the heroes to gain other powers based off of "Dreams".</div></div><br>Nox Arcana is surprised by this. He cuts off the power immediately, and seems to be prepared to finish the heroes off the old fashioned way, when helicopters are heard overhead. They're at least a few miles up, but at least one man jumps from the leading helicopter, falling with no parachute, and landing hard, on his feet, a fist slammed into the ground. He leaves a small crater as he stands...and hoists a goddamned machine gun. As in a vehicle mounted machine gun. In his hands. He is recognized by everyone-they have seen him in dreams. Mercury Knight and Sailor Venus saw him as the dragon man in their dream. The others saw him hoisting a gun that fired bolts of plasma in theirs. <br><br>The helicopters descend as the two men are locked in a standoff. If Nox were to move, the man would cream him across the pavement. Many soldiers appear, all female for some reason. Two others, however, take the side of the gunman. They are unfamiliar to Mercury Knight and Sailor Venus, but the rest have seen them as well in their original dream. A man wearing arcane robes, and a white haired woman with a staff. Satomi and Kurai would recognize the man-he had spoken to them at the convention. Everyone also recognized the woman as...very similar looking to the U.N. special agent.<br><br>The standoff is silent, and ends with Nox summoning a sphere of darkness and teleporting away. Almost immediately, the trio that stared him down breathe a sigh of relief. The man puts the weapon on his back, and the trio step forward to where the heroes are.<br><br>"I know you've got a lot of questions." The woman opened with. "But let's start with the obvious-anyone hurt and need healing?" The gunman lit up a smoke. "Sorry we couldn't introduce ourselves before. The name's Dean. He's Angelo, she's Faye." Angelo gives a nod. "Again, we apologize for not revealing ourselves to you before. We intended for our role to be one of observation. We didn't expect Nox to move so quickly..." Faye seems to be quick on the uptake-at least when it comes to Angelo. "Don't blame yourself Angelo. You couldn't have expected what Nox did." Angelo seems to be hanging on to some guilt about something, though...<br><br>The soldiers are busy cordoning off the area, while the trio of 'heroes' speak to the Sailors. Dean decides to continue. "We are the representatives of the Chrono Custodi. The Time Guard, if you want to translate it. We don't usually get involved, but as Angelo mentioned, Nox forced our hand. We hope we don't have to pull this often-we'd rather let guys like you do it. Local heroes. Even in the business of heroism, shop locally." He points his thumb to the soldiers. "Those guys belong to a different group. The Sisters of Steel. They were the only ones we could get support from-Command would have acted to slowly for us. They were in the right place, right time."

The villain liked to talk, and Bunji imagined that if he hadn’t forgotten his belt and had been there standing amongst him that he would have socked the guy in his flapping gums. That would teach him to talk so damn much.<br><br>Bunji’s brows rose when he heard what sounded like a struggle. Had they started fighting? He peeked around the corner in time to watch one of the heroes go flying.<br><br><em>Shit!</em> he thought. That guy had been stronger than he let on.<br><br>His eyes shrunk to the size of beads when he felt a whoosh of air next to him. Bunji’s head snapped in the man’s direction in time to feel him lay his bony hands on him, hands that shouldn’t even had been strong enough to lift him and toss him so easily.<br><br>“You bitch!” Bunji managed to growl, having never been a fan of those who would dare lay a hand on him. The curse hadn’t been a strong enough weapon to save him from being thrown into a parked car. The alarm went off as the car screamed in violation. The warrior had fallen face down once his body had rebounded off the door. His vision was blurry, his back and shoulders were splitting with pain. Baring his teeth, Bunji’s hand shakily slid across the concrete, trying to find purchase somewhere where he could attempt to get up. He tried lifting his shoulders, but the pain kept him down.<br><br><em>Fuck; this wasn’t supposed to happen</em>. He was a sitting duck, laying there injured and who knows if an ambulance was going to arrive. It just meant more medical bills and Matsumi would be worried sick or…she might have thought that he had gotten into fights again. This couldn’t be happening. How did he get involved in this shit?<br><br>Just then, Bunji felt something latch onto his back and invade his conscience. His mind and body began to be assaulted with horrible thoughts and feelings—anger…a wicked anger. The type that drove someone to kill. His own conscience was fighting the assault and he buried his forehead into the cement as he tried to resist the takeover.<br><br><em>Stop! Get out of my head!</em> Bunji mentally screamed.<br><br>Winking overhead was suddenly his belt, gleaming and shining its purifying rays on him. The tendril retracted from his back as though it were burned and Bunji sighed in relief when he felt the soothing light wash over his body, purging it of pain and suffering. Now having the strength to stand, Bunji sat up and snatched the buckle out of the air before it began to spark in his hand. Resting a hand against the dented car, Bunji stood and slowly walked around from behind it to see a man with a massive machine gun facing off the robed supervillain. He…recognized him…where?...Had it been in his dream?<br><br>Nox vanished immediately after the rest of the group dropped in. There were more he recognized and although hesitant, he started toward them.<br><br><strong>I know you’ve got a lot of questions…but let’s start with the obvious—anyone hurt and need healing?</strong><br><br>Bunji didn’t answer. He was feeling better otherwise he didn’t think he would have been able to walk over to the group that had gathered.<br><br>The man with the goggles who he had seen during the zombie fight seemed to be asking questions along the same lines that he would have asked, and he intended to listen to the answers.</span>

				Angelo produces a small tablet at Seiichi's request, plugging in the name Nox Arcana...and finding nothing. "Huh. That's weird. Nothing's listed in our database." Dean suddenly looks in his direction. "You're lett-" "You can hush right there." Angelo interrupts. "These guys are about to be at the center of a maelstrom. I'd rather they know what the hell is going on then stumble around blindly." Well aware he seems to be talking about the heroes as if they weren't there, he gives the group a quick smile. "So yeah, it looks like we're dealing with a new guy. Definitely a high class threat, though." He sighs. "I bet from where you're standing, it looks like a hellish run of the worst luck ever. Powers you barely understand, a duty that seems astronomical, a villain that seems insurmountable. Trust me, I've been there." Dean chuckles at that. "We've all been there." "You probably don't feel like legendary heroes right now. Well, nobody starts there. We have the significant advantage of decades-or in Dean's case, centuries. Trust me though, you'll get to the point where Nox Arcana is about as threatening as a spring breeze. Cause we got there, too."

Slowly, one by one, her erstwhile allies emerge! Sailor Moon looks left, and then right at all of those that now joined her to stand against this evil. And she feels her heart enlightening. How wonderful to be able to stand with such heroes! Not that she felt she deserved to be standing with them. No, she’s no hero. She’s just Mesu. <br><br>Jupiter Knight… Mercury Knight.. Sailor Pluto.. Sailor Mercury… Sailor Venus… and then.. <em>him</em>. One&nbsp; by one her eyes befall upon those who now stand with her.. but those big blue eyes linger upon&nbsp; “Tuxedo Kamen”&nbsp; she whispers as he pronounces his name. On a brief sidenote… they all had cool little sayings.. she needs something like that… anyways… <br><br>She feels Tuxedo Kamen’s hand upon her shoulder for only a moment, and then a warmth in the pit of her tummy. She just nods blankly when he says he’s there, and he says her name. Oh he knows her name! She does exist! But she is drawn out of her awestruck stupor as the baddie now declares his intentions. <br><br>“Murderers?! We’re not murderers!”&nbsp; She says immediately, stepping now forward boldly, her voice filled with a certain passion. But then… he is RIGHT there in front of her suddenly. She feels herself gasp loudly in surprise. And before she can do anything, she feels a sharp pain in her chest, and she’s sent flying backwards. She cries out as she is sent reeling, and she lands in a crumpled heap upon the street. A soft whimper escapes her lips as she pushes herself up onto her elbows, laying on her stomach now. She feels her breathing coming in heavier, and she turns her eyes towards the others. No.. no he’s taking them all out!&nbsp; “No! Everyone! Tuxedo Kamen!”&nbsp; She calls as she now pushes herself to one knee, one gloved hand resting upon the concrete. She has to save them! She has to do something! <br><br>And then suddenly.. her crystal wand materializes before her. Her eyes snap towards it, and she scoops it up. Shakily she pushes herself to her feet, grasping her wand in both hands. That seeping darkness.. she doesn’t shy away from it. She’s not scared.. for a moment or so. But as that darkness overtakes her, she closes her eyes and puts her faith in the power she knows is inside of her. She HOPES is inside of her. The crystal wand glows brightly.. and that warm energizing light washes over her form. She holds her breath as she keeps her eyes closed tightly… and then it’s over. <br>Blue eyes that are like jewels flutter open, and she looks around herself. She’s.. okay.. everyone is okay! Her gaze moves towards Nox, just as he’s teleporting away. She doesn’t want to let him escape.. but she doesn’t have much of a choice… Sailor Moon now looks towards the arrived ‘backup’… the agents. She knows them! <br><br>She slowly makes her way closer to the group, looking sheepish. She holds the crystal wand in both hands. She looks worried, almost scared. She doesn’t’ know what this threat is.. and she’s scared for those that had decided to stand with her. She feels like a fool for not being able to do more. She listens to the words of the agents.. and she feels a little insulted.&nbsp; &nbsp;“This isn’t something to be taken so lightly!”&nbsp; She says suddenly (and louder than she had intended).&nbsp; “He thinks we’re murderers.. we haven’t done anything like that..”&nbsp; she looks towards the others, they would see the emotion in her eyes, they would hear the emotion in her voice. She looks back towards Angelo, Dean and Faye&nbsp; &nbsp;“If people are in danger, we can’t take this lightly.. we have to act and stop him!”&nbsp; <br><br>But as she makes her plea, there are words ringing in her head. Nox’s words to her.. she speaks more softly then, as if shrinking back into her shell&nbsp; &nbsp;“He said.. I was the worst of all.. he called me the Queen..” <br>

She spits up a little blood from the corner of her lip as she watches Satomi subsequently get beaten behind, causing Kurai to have a moment of blind fury and impotence at not being able to protect her. Even as Nox began to pull them down into darkness, making them fade, Kurai's anger burned red hot like a solar flare, and her own gem seemed to react to this. Eyes glowing red like coals, her gem appeared before her and opened it's skeletal mouth, consuming the darkness that threatened to swallow her. As it was pulled in the darkness seemed to purify, becoming immersed in starlight that twinkled until what darkness covered Kurai was gone. "B-Bastard..." Kurai said from her place on the ground, reaching out for her scythe as her crystal became a ring again. The handle and blade of her scythe melted down into ethereal darkness, moving quickly to her hand, though she couldn't stand just yet. "I'll take it from you, all of it.....leave you as nothing but a husk." Kurai spat and sputtered.<br><br>It wasn't soon though that help arrived for the Senshi, and Kurai was unable to follow up on her words as Nox escaped into a sphere of darkness. The arriving people asked if anyone was hurt, to which Kurai shook her head, "No...but that bastard will be when I find him..." She said, looking over to Satomi for a moment to make sure she wasn't hurt. Grabbing a nearby rock, Kurai tossed it into the air as she lay on the ground, and in a snap she had switched places with the rock in mid-air, landing on her feet easily. Taking a few steps over to Satomi, Kurai helped the other girl up with a strong yet gentle hand, giving her an apologetic look for just a moment, as if she still regretted not being able to protect her.<br><br>Turning to Angelo, Kurai noticed that he was the same guy that she and Satomi had met at the convention. "Hmmph....Stalking me, are you?" She said a little teasingly, though she was a bit upset...for Angelo to be here meant that he and his little group had already known about them, didn't it?

The situation took rather grim turn though as the party began dropping like flies, especially her beloved crush as a kick sent her flying to the ground with her weapon broken. Clearly enraged for once as Nox unleashed that sickening stomp, thrusting with her trident fiercely....only to be stopped mid-way with an assault of brutal punches. Satomi watched in horror as the black tendrils swarmed them, desperately reaching her hand in Kurai's direction as things began to fade. However, a mote of hope came to her as her sapphire manifested in front of her with a powerful glow, resulting in her feeling a greater sense of empowerment and completely without pain. It seems the group was especially lucky as help arrived and drove off Nox...for now. The meek girl took the grip offered to her, instinctualy clinging into the sailor of darkness after she rose up. "Pl-Please...Don't l-leave me today..." She begged, clearly drawn closer to Kurai rather than pushed away.

				"And you actually believe him?" Angelo asked of Mesu, giving her a quizzical look. "The bad guys lie. Get used to it. Hell, <em>we</em> lie if we need to. Faye over there is an expert of lying. The shapeshifting helps." Faye laughed. "It does indeed." "As for you, Sailor Moon." Angelo said, giving a smirk. "A villain calling you worst of all means that you're the biggest threat. Which, to us, means you're the strongest hero of the bunch. You see how a different perspective changes everything? Don't let what the bad guy says get to you. They like to rile the heroes up and get us off our game. Can't let it happen, gotta fight it."<br><br>He turned to Sailor Pluto-Jikan. "Sort of." He said. "It's not that we're tracking you, it's just, well...yesterday, at about 2 am, we detected a massive power spike originating from...well, all of you. Since most of you have family, it was a simple matter of tracking the power spike to the location, looking at who lives there, and then going and finding you so we could put names to faces. Originally, that was all we would have done, but then Nox decided to get involved. We knew something was happening-our contacts with the Arbiters forewarned us. We didn't know it was going to be something this big." He gave a shrug. <br><br>"About that zombie attack-you guys have the right to know. There's more then just us Chrono Custodi and the people allied with Nox involved. There's a lot of minor factions involved in all this to." To demonstrate something, he reached up and 'touched' the air above him. To the Sailors and the Knights-as well at the Custodi-the air would light up with shimmering currents of what could only be called 'magical power'. "What you see now is natural magic. It flows through all living things, a constant stream of power resulting in new life and greater magic. Magic is not just a part of life, it IS life. And you Sailors and Knights, you are like...lakes of this natural magic. The more power you use, the more magic flows, and the better life becomes for everyone. Because of that, the New Humanity movement-one of those minor factions-decided to give you guys a test. They unleashed that group of zombies specifically for you to fight and grow more powerful by fighting. Then they got royally bitchsmacked by me and Dean for doing something so godsdamned stupid." The sight of the mystical energy stream vanished from view. "It won't just me New Humanity trying to profit off of this. With such powerful magic flowing through this world, everyone will try to advance their own agenda. The Arbiters, the Sisters, the Archivers, the Sequence, and the Veil too. And, well, us." He admitted sheepishly. <br><br>"Anyway, back to the Q&amp;A-unless you feel I've answered any questions you have? Or perhaps you have more."

They were SUPPOSED to be the hero but instead they became the damsel…. Could there really be such convenient coincidence?<br><br>It was only the fact that she “recognized” one of them that she decided to give them a listen. So far, she let the others get as much info as possible from them before finally asking one of her own, “You call yourselves “Chrono Custodi”. Can to explain what does that mean exactly? And you seem to have at least an idea on who this “Nox Arcana” is… we’d like to know about him as well if possible.”<br><br>She then pointed to the man who had introduced himself as “Dean” before continuing, “You… seem kind of familiar. I can’t remember exactly but… did we ever meet before?” Of course, truth to be told, Venus was basically lying through her teeth… or at least partly so. The man DOES seem kind of familiar but she knew where they had met… okay, she didn’t have the clearest memory about the dream, then again it’s called subconscious for a reason, but she knows that man features heavily in it….

				"It's Latin." Angelo said. "Literally means 'Time Guard'. We take a backseat to most of the action, our job is to...it'll take some time to explain, but, here's the deal-the source of magic and the material world are separated by a barrier. This barrier is important-unrestricted, wild magic can cause massive problems. Three words: Worldwide Gravity Reversal. THAT was a bitch to clean up." Dean nods in agreement. "We show up, patch holes in the barrier, clean up the messes, and leave. These holes are caused by massive bursts of power or emotion-but don't worry, there's usually some time between when the holes open up and when things start to happen. And we're right behind you because, well, we're here, and after this, we don't plan on leaving."<br><br>"As for Nox, well...the name means 'Night Magic'. I don't know much about him, but he's powerful, and he probably has underlings. More to the point, I suspect he's pulling his magical power from the emotion of fear. Which means we already know exactly how to counter him-spread the opposite. Hope. Through good old fashioned heroism, I guess." <br><br>Dean shrugged. "That jewelry store a couple days ago. I saw you there. We just sort of split up in an effort to find you all. Well, me and Angelo split up to find a few, at least." Faye smiled. "I went after Mr. Bunji. I had reasons."

				Angelo nodded to Bunji at that. "Right. What happens now. Well for starters, here." He passed out a few small business cards, marked with phone numbers-the cards listed no more then "A" "D" and "F"-but it wasn't hard to figure who they pointed to. "What happens next is up to you. Nox and his followers-however many there are-will be making plans. If we get wind of them, we'll pass them along to you. Additionally, the syndicates I mentioned will be wanting things done. Mercenary work, I suppose, but once they learn the situation, they'll want Nox gone as much as we do. Especially the Arbiters and the Veil Weavers. Again, we'll pass it along." "And don't be afraid to call on us for help." Faye said. "We're just observing things right now. So unofficially, we can help you out quite a bit, since Commander won't be running us ragged with official duties." She grinned. "Gotta love it when you can bend the rules...Alright. You'll all be wanting to get home. If you need a lift, we can provide."

The shaking girl buried her head into Kurai's shoulder, feeling a bit more calmed by her reassuring voice and encircling arm. After pocketing the phone number card, she was soon blushing brightly as she found the bold voice actress picking her up into a bridal-style fashion into her arms. Satomi soon found herself in the blur of the darkness's sailor's teleportation, each small gap in the trick causing it to appear as if they were speeding through the frames of a movie. "Th-That's alright, Jikan-san." The bashful girl tried to reassure her after she had set her down, though her blush was still quite clear upon her face. "Th-Thank you so m-much, Jikan-san. I pro-promise I'll be a good g-guest." She added, her eyes once again having a hard time pulling away from the other girl.

				<strong>Name:</strong> Nakamura Seiichi (Mercury Knight)<br><strong>Location:</strong> Tokyo<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Sailor Venus<br><hr><br>So apparently this Dean guy isn't quite like them...has he really been alive all that time?&nbsp; Assuming, that is, that the dream had been something that actually happened and not just...some kind of symbolic message about their collective awakening and potential, but the former makes more sense if Dean isn't part of their Sailor/Knight gimmick.<br><br>Meaning, their past selves actually knew <em>this guy</em>.<br><br>Still, when Sailor Venus speaks up (and, yep, more or less confirmed she had the same dream he did), Seiichi keeps his mouth shut.&nbsp; He can keep his mouth shut if she thinks she has a good reason to not tell these people everything.<br><br>He accepted a business card and bowed slightly.&nbsp; "I can make it home on my own, but thank you very much for the offer."&nbsp; Stepping away slightly, he pauses, before glancing at the blond girl.&nbsp; "Er...Sailor Venus, correct?&nbsp; Do you have a minute?"&nbsp; His tone, of course, subtly implies <em>not in front of these people</em>.

The man she was talking about, "Dean" didn't seem to be lying and she knew that he had answered correctly... but it was obvious that it wasn't the answer she was looking for. As a rising name in the artist industry rife with lies and fakes, Venus had develop a skill of sort to tell if someone was pretending but for once, she couldn't tell if the man truly didn't know what she was talking about or if he really had mastered the art of poker face enough to fool her.<br><br>While she was digesting the rather evasive answer, several more talks happen before the Time Guards offered to give em a lift which she declines with just a shake of her head. Just then, Mercury asked to talk with her which she nodded silently but before she left, she decide to try to get one last thing out of the way before leaving, "One last thing... you guys seem to know quite a bit about us... how much did you really know? Am I right to assume that you guys at least knows our real identity?"<br><br>
