Once You're a Square You're a Square All the Way
Who: Usagi Tsukino (Serena Lapin) and anyone who wants to rescue her
What: No one warned Usagi just how serious Garnet's fans actually are about the whole... square thing // There s a Hair Monster that lives in Brad's Diner and it survives on milkshakes // Get a half off bouquet on your next visit!
When: All Day
Where: The flower store Usagi works at/Brad's Diner
Warnings: Rabid fans, mild violence
Notes: I’m more than happy to match styles!
A: Early Morning (The Attack)
Usagi Tsukino was not late.
Not so much a miracle as it was that Usagi finally remembered to set her alarm clock an hour and a half ahead of time to get there exactly on time. On her way to work, she didn't even notice the unusually high amount of people surrounding her. She didn't think much of it at all considering that it was early enough in the morning people were likely on their way to work and school.
She didn't even seem to notice how so many of them had square hair-styles and a lot of them were chewing bubble gum. But Usagi wasn't the sort to judge someone based on hair and eating habits. Honestly, she was the last to do such a thing on such subjects. However, when they all started whistling the same tune, Usagi admittedly got a little... well, honestly she felt a bit... weirded out? But no dark energy, no sense of magic, or anything that felt like she should be worried for her safety. The whistling in unison made her nervous but she was sure it was just the new pop single from one of the many bands she intended on rescuing.
Oh how very, terribly wrong she was.
Usagi blinked at the wall of people suddenly in front of her with square hair cuts. Oookay... When she asked them to politely move, they just sneered at her, still whistling and blowing bubble-gum bubbles.
Usagi made to turn and leave... only to have a wall of square hair cuts there too. Alright, last resort.
Except.
She gave a nervous laugh.
"Uh... i-is there something I can do?" she couldn't transform, not with all these people watching and not when this could be the work of brainwashing. In fact, Usagi's first fear was that this was the act of the labels and they found her out. She put her hand on her brooch.
Of course, that all quickly changed when she saw scissors, hair pins, and gel in the hands of the people surrounding her.
"How dare you talk to Keytar Mom after we WARNED YOU."
"W-What?"
"And then you had the audacity to talk to her at the charity event and take her food from her!"
"T-That isn't a-actually-" she put up her hands in front of her, trying to calm everyone down.
"If you're going to be near goddess Garnet YOU BETTER BE SQUARE!"
When they opened up their scissors?
Usagi quite calmly, eloquently, and rationally...
Let out a massive, loud, and incredibly shrill scream of panic, and kicked one of them in the face.
That had opened up the wall of people and Usagi used it as her chance, since she honestly couldn't risk transforming until she was out of sight. If she could just get around the corner! She let out another scream when she felt her head yanked back as they grabbed one of her tails. She turned around only to be slammed up against a wall.
"Don't do this!" forget it! She'd transform in public! She wasn't going to allow herself to have them attack her like this. Now if only she could reach her brooch! "GET THOSE AWAY FROM MEEEEE!"
B: Afternoon (After the Attack)
Were you looking for Usagi at "Thistle Do Nicely?" If you were, you will be promptly informed by Mrs. Ophelia that any and all information regarding her employees is not available and then would leave it at that. Which is to say, once 'Serena' explained what happened (looking a bit worse for wear but with all her hair quite intact) the older woman took it upon herself to protect her employee.
If you're very thorough, however, you'll find Usagi hiding in a booth at "Brad's Diner" far far away from the diner door and curled up with her third triple-chocolate, chocolate-chip milkshake.
Her hair was not in its usual buns, mostly because in the fray it had all come undone and she was basically hiding in her hair.
Or maybe you're not looking for Usagi, maybe you just came in to Brad's because the food, while greasy, was filling and the waitress Diana was gorgeous and a flirt.
In either case, there was still a giant river of golden hair attached to the head of someone hiding within it and making an impressive dent in her now fourth milkshake (this time strawberry).
Stepping on or near her hair seems to draw the hair monster to instantly shriek and shudder and try and pull all that hair closer.
C: Late Afternoon (Also After the Attack)
After six milkshakes and given plenty of time to fix her hair back into the two buns, Usagi finally made her way back to the flower store. She had to, she had a "family" to provide for and more importantly, she didn't want to let Mrs. Ophelia down. While Usagi didn't know if Terra celebrated Valentine's Day, the flower store was clearly gearing up for something.
While Mrs. Ophelia said that Usagi was more than welcome to go home with pay, Usagi didn't feel right doing that to the older woman.
So you will find Usagi right in front of the flower shop where Mrs. Ophelia can keep an eye on her and anything that should happen, passing out a single blue paper-origami 'Forget Me Not' with a ribbon around it with a simple tag "Don't Forget!" tied to it.
"All this week, Thistle Do Nicely is having a sale! Take this coupon inside and with the purchase of a bouquet today, get your next bouquet on your next visit half off!" she's trying to put a true smile behind it, but those who know Usagi or "Serena Lapin" better will know that it isn't sincere, it doesn't reach her eyes and please be so kind as not to mention that Usagi's clothes are somewhat... well... torn and snipped.

Well, except for the one Usagi kicked.
"Bailey, you ok?"
"Awp, my solar plexis..."
"Don't worry, Bailey, it's ok! We'll make sure sh, uh, looks like us!"
".....................Did you just rhyme that?"
"..................Yes."
no subject
She got into the alley and was about to call out her transformation....
Only, the rhythmic running seemed to have stopped, as had the stupid song. Still ready to move deeper into the alley to transform, but needing to see if they had given up, she peeked around the corner to see where they were.
no subject
"Its...its her!"
"Garnet!!"
"EEEEE! IT'S REALLY HER~~!"
They were excited, but she wasn't. Not even close.
"What's the meaning of this? What are you doing?" Her voice was low, dangerous. "Why do you have...those?"
Her finger poked out from behind the wall of the alley entrance, pointing towards the items the group was carrying.
"I thought I saw someone go this way...so. Someone better explain. Right now."
no subject
However, when she saw the fans practically cower (and who could blame them considering Garnet's height), she started to worry about them.
"We just wanted her to be more square! We warned her never to go near you again with those stupid spheres!" one tried to offer.
no subject
She takes a single step forward, but her foot may as well have caused an earthquake on the sidewalk, the way a few of the fans were shaking at their goddess' wrath.
"And you call yourselves my fans? I advocate love and peace, and what you're doing is anything but! You...I'm disgusted by what you're doing! Tell me why I shouldn't ring the police right now, because I have half a mind to do it!"
no subject
The "faithful" who remained begged and pleaded with Garnet, explaining they would never do it again, truly, please forgive them, great goddess Garnet, they have learned their lesson and it wasn't like she was actually hurt anyways!
Many of the fans were shaking and crying, hugging onto one another and insisting that Garnet didn't understand, that they were only thinking of her and her image. Others, ran away in shame (if they hadn't already from fear of being arrested).
no subject
She starts to dial.
no subject
Usagi winced.
"Ah wait! Please, I'm- that is, I'm the one they... cornered. Please don't call the police. If they swear to... I mean most of them clearly learned their lesson. If they swear to never do it again, they deserve a chance to try again. Please."
no subject
She'd been attacked. That much was obvious. They could have hurt her, or worse. But the girl was...pleading to not press charges? Garnet was clearly conflicted as she stared at the girl.
"Are you sure?"
no subject
no subject
It didn't matter. Their goddess seemed appeased. Slowly, as Usagi spoke, more and more squares slipped away, until one was left, the leader. He scowled and pointed.
"We won't forget this!"
And then, they were all gone, as Garnet turned back to Usagi, her expression showing worry in her frown.
"You're sure you're all right?"
no subject
They would face Sailor Moon, champion of love and justice, and they would know that their behaviors as fans would not be acceptable.
"Neither will I," she countered easily, locking her gaze with the leader.
She turned back to Garnet and gave a nod.
"I'm fine, really, I mean, they didn't... achieve the whole square thing. Although, ah, they did succeed in undoing it." She lightly shook her head and all her hair was lightly dragging on the groun.
no subject
no subject
"Are you okay? They seemed...I mean, they're doing this in your name."
no subject
Grabbing her head, she let's out a 'grrraugh'. She might be talking more to herself than Usagi, right now.
"This...is this my fault!?"
no subject
"Forget it, Miss Gneiss..." she rubbed her eyes. It was still so early. At least her enemies back home had the decency to do this later in the day.
no subject
Her hands cover her face.
"These were my fans. They emulate me, even if its inaccurate. I blame me. How can I not blame myself?!"
no subject
"They aren't your fans, I mean, they are fans of yours but your real fans know what you stand for. You've never been unkind or demanded anyone do what they did. You've been nothing but kind to me, non-square-haired that I am. They may like you and are trying to follow you, but the way they show their love is wrong. You would have never agreed to this kind of thing, you would have never approved of this, and you still don't. If they were your real fans, they would know that. This isn't your fault, Garnet, and nor should you let the actions of those who don't understand you, who only understand the surface of you, make you blame yourself."
