Fighting Evil by Moonlight

[lightthedarkness]

Who: Eternal Sailor Moon and whoever she comes to help
What: All the tabloid talks of attacks has made Sailor Moon decide to go on patrol at night
Where: All over the city and outside of Virgo HQ
When: Throughout the Week
Warnings: Minor violence



Option A: Rabid Fans Abound

It wasn't that she didn't understand that they needed to remain low key, but with the missing rescuers, all the tabloids of more and more violence, and the ocean attack on the label? Sailor Moon couldn't keep sitting on her hands. It went against everything she stood for. She had to protect everyone, even those of an alternate Earth.

So at night, with the moon as her guide, she kept watch on the streets. Her boots clicked along the gravel of a roof as she landed, her wings... she took a deep breath. It was good to have them back. She would be lying if she wasn't also doing this to keep her wings strong. She hadn't been able to fly in months and hadn't needed too for years back home.

She heard screams though and started running towards it, coming to a ledge and watching as a concert was being let out of a club. Oh, thank goodness. Just screams of joy.

Or well... it had started out that way. She watched as the fans broke the barriers and started going after the rock star. Her eyes narrowed. What was it with these fans!

She flew down and cut through the screams.

"LET THEM GO THIS INSTANT!" she ordered.


Option B: Breath of Fresh Air

She was flying again. She closed her eyes and while she didn't have any connection to the wind and sky like Uranus did, the moon was full overhead. She basked in the moonlight, feeling it wash over her. Not her moon, no, but so close to it. She closed her eyes as she spun in the air to soak it up.

It was warm and cool at the same time, welcoming soft light while all the other stars were blotted out by the light pollution.

She landed in a park and let out a breath, she glowed. She had soaked up the moonlight and the crescent moon on her brow glowed brightest. She tucked her wings in tight. Her head felt clear and she reached up to remove the transformation, only she stopped suddenly when she heard a twig snapped. She spun around.

"Show yourself!" she demanded.


Option C: The Tower Gates

She was looking at Virgo Tower and the calm ocean with her hands clenched at her side. In there was the one who took Rei from her, who took all those innocent people from their homes. She summoned the Tiare and lifted it... only for her shoulders to slump and her head to fall forward.

She couldn't... the were getting closer, and she couldn't attack because it would be the people she was trying to save who would face the consequences of her actions. She let her scepter fade from her hand and she just continued to look at the tower.

"Please just wait a little longer," she whispered.


Option D: Just an Average Girl

No longer Eternal Sailor Moon, just Usagi Tsukino a.k.a Serena Lapin now, she needed to head back home. She was just outside of the Virgo Tower and knew it was going to be a long way back. But she couldn't risk them following her as Sailor Moon when she flew. She'd have to walk.

"Not my smartest idea," she mumbled to herself as she started walking, her head bowed. So of course, she didn't notice when she ran smack into someone's chest.

She stumbled backwards and rubbed her nose.

"Oh, uh, I'm sorry, should look where I'm going," honestly she should.

Comments

[trustme]

Doctor groans and starts grabbing his head, messing his hair. He turns away from her to talk to himself, pacing. "Of course they did. Why wouldn't they do something so disturbing to our heads! Why stop at brainwashing? One of the most personal parts of the body and they stick a chip right in there!" He stops pacing and turns back towards her.

"Is there a way to remove the chips? We'd be free to run once they're gone, wouldn't we?"

[lightthedarkness]

She let him go through his panic, his anger, truly, she'd be more worried if he wasn't upset. When he finally turned to her, she gave a slow nod.

"There is... and you would... but we don't have the tools to get it out safely yet. It is in your brain, after all, and we don't want to damage anything. But... once it's out, you would be able to escape... That... that unfortunately is something we've not yet planned for. We don't have safe houses or a place for you to hide. We're working as hard as we can to perfect our disguise devices as well so you won't have the be under house arrest."

[trustme]

"So we wait while you prepare our escape route. Isn't there anything we can do? Or a way we can contact you? I'd rather not escape by myself- I'd want to run with the rest of my band. Or I'd prefer that any of them leave before I do. They're my family." You don't have to be from Earth to relate to that.

[lightthedarkness]

"Please understand, it's not that we don't want to give you all that chance, but we can't put you into any further danger than we already have and are... but there is a way for you to help. If there were some way for you to buy houses in secret, if that were at all possible, or even run-down warehouses under a false identity, where we could keep those who do run until we can get them to safer places... We simply don't have the means to do that ourselves. As for contact," she pressed a gloved knuckle to her chin in thought. They couldn't use the senshi communicators here, they didn't even have them.

She looked up.

"If it's an emergency, I don't know... but... we could certainly work out an alert system of some sort." She could be exposing herself quite a bit but then, she always put everything on the line. "I know someone we can use as a middle person, someone who can send messages without anyone the wiser for it. How well versed are you in flowers, Doctor?"

[trustme]

"I'll prepare some cash then. Hopefully I'll manage to hide it somewhere better than under my mattress." He tries to joke. How long are they going to have to wait until there's a chance to rebel?

"Flowers? I know a lot about flowers! Ever since the band was named we've been bothered to pay attention to that sort of thing."

[lightthedarkness]

"There's a girl, a trusted ally of ours, she works at Thistle Do Nicely. She can act as our in-between. If you need to get into any contact with me, Serena will get it to me in seconds."

It was a bit strange to refer to herself this way, if only because she'd be the sort to just tell him her identity, but with Blanche and Santiago watching them so closely, she couldn't.

[trustme]

"Serena. Yes. I know her." She had been suspiciously emotional about Rei and the rest of the band before. "I'll be in touch then."

He touches his head again, wondering where precisely the chip was inserted. Later he'll ask Luce to help him find the site. "Thank you for telling me the truth. It's better than not knowing." He's going to have to remember that tonight when he can't sleep because that thing is in his head.

[lightthedarkness]

"Until then, Doctor, and I'm sorry I couldn't offer you more comforting news," she offered a sad smile, as if it truly were her fault.

"We'll get you all out, we're doing everything we can, I swear."

[trustme]

"Yes," he nods and shoves his hands in his waving hands into his pockets to still them. He hates feeling like he can't do anything but at least the Space Lady has reassuring words to offer.

"I'm sure you are..." He descends into an awkward pause. "I really needed that extra bit of hope. So thank you. Thank you for letting me know there are people coming to save us."

[lightthedarkness]

She nodded before she flapped her wings once and then took off into the night sky, glowing her own soft light before flying high enough and far enough to be no more than a distant light on the horizon.
