Ahmya Karashima has posed:
It's somewhat strange. The air of something being strange did start up as people were going about their day, but unlike normal... there's no sense of danger. No mascots claiming there to be danger. No screams of terror. No, as people were doing their various activities in the mall, there was just a smell that started to waft through the mall. The soft, slightly sweet smell of wet earth, the sound of the water feature twisting to the trickling sound of a small stream. The scent of plantlife, of lily pads. Which are seemingly beginning to appear in odd places, seemingly just as designs on clothing or storefronts, floating in said water fountain/feature.

A click rings out through the mall.

And dramatic music begins to play, orchestral and calm at first. Before above the food court, standing atop one of the signs, four figures appear. Each one wearing a dark suit with a hooded cape that covers most of their bodies. Color coded. Sitting next to their feet is a CD player which is probably where the click came from.

One of the figures, a girl who was wearing a green cape lifts a microphone to her mouth.


"PREPARE FOR TROUBLE!"

"And make it quadruple!"

"T-To protect our minds from boredom and stagnation!"

"To steal the hearts of our dear nation!"

All together,

"The dark twilight pact has arrived to steal the pure hearts of maidens!"

"Starting with that girl below!"

The microphone is pointed towards a girl in the food court who was definitely not placed there on purpose by the girls and not wearing a blue themed outfit that would definitely go with the others. A misty fog grows from her feet, surrounding her as she makes overdramatic sounds of confusion and distress, stepping backwards as incense smoke spreads through the area... and...

...Those lily pads are all around. In fact the entire mall has seemingly been turned into a frog pond, and where the girl was consumed in that incense smoke... is now... a humanoid frog with an oversized head, holding a giant water-minigun. "Gero gero! Gerororo,born of froggy love!"

...There's still... a weird... lack of danger sense going off in spite of all of this, though.

Ami Mizuno has posed:
The mall was, as usual, one of those places that became a target far too often by many a villainous individual or organization. It's not a terrible surprise when today's excursion comes across a similar situation.

Ami's attention had been split between the book she had held open to read while keeping half of her attention split on others she may be with.

When that little tell-tale tingle of *something* magical pricks at the hairs on the back of her neck the book is lowered to glance around with a little thoughtful frown. "Do you feel that? What is---" Then the microphone comes out from the group of caped figures announcing their, er, plan?

The book is swapped into her shopping back in favor of pulling out her mini-Mercury computer to start typing on it with a stern expression. That quickly fades to a quizzical one.

"... There's nothing there...?"

A few possibilities flit through her mind before she simply *points* toward the eldest girl. "You're far too young to be meddling in whatever you are. Where are your parents?!"

"O-or is this an idol group skit? I'm sorry if it is."

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
"Hm," says Tuxedo Kamen overly loudly, perched absolutely dangerously on one side of the enormous metal modern art installation that legitimately every mall has somewhere, even the renovated ones. "What do you think, Sailor Moon? No dark energy. Lots of incense. There's a lilypad," he adds, taking his top hat off and turning it to show the top, "on my hat. Please, you do the honors, I like your justice speeches a lot better-- I'll make them look."

They're just... up there.

They had to have been in the mall doing stuff, and then gone off to henshin somewhere and come back, but theatrics are where it's at today...

Except Ami is down there?!

He does it anyway! He throws a rose, and it sticks, vibrating, in the surface the kids are standing on -- he didn't throw it in front of the 'monster'. A lone red petal drifts down, and the sound of castanets and spanish guitar plays gently in the background.

Tadase Hotori has posed:
There is a commotion in the mall. This surprises Tadase, because usually when there's this kind of wierdness, the things that show up in the future as a headline in a newspaper like "gas leak evacuates some mall stores" and really there's a six foot tall antlion with red eyes or whatever - Kiseki knows first. Tadase looks to him as someone moves past him in... not quite panic? It's all odd. Saying something about weirdos in costumes?

    Well, weirdos in costumes covers most of his enemies. And... most of his allies. And... the ones in bettween like Ikuto. Still, he should probably check it out.

    Once Tadase gets in the vicinity, he has just enough time to turn and look at Kiseki. "Tokusatsu skit or monster?"

    Tuxedo Mask throws a rose, and so Tadase decides better henshin'd than sorry. A burst of white-gold light and a merge with Kiseki later, and he's moving around the back of the kids cautiously. He makes a sort of waving motion at the others. Nonthreatening, smiling. And it's Tadase Hotori. He couldn't look like a villian if he tried. (Unless someone said The Word. That's different.)

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
The modern art installation is absolutely not meant for people to be perched on it. At least, that's what the sign says - but what does the sign know? Here they are, two entire people, perched on an enormous metal monument dedicated to - honoring the community, or something, she's never been sure what exactly the installation is supposed to be, and it's not even falling! Not even a little bit.

"I think," she says, just as overly loud, one hand shading her eyes as she takes an exaggerated look in the direction of the latest threat, "that this is going to cause a lot of problems for the janitorial staff. There's a lily on each of my odangos, you know?"

And so there is.

At the request that she be the one to give the justice speech, she stands - wobbling, of course, she's balancing on a modern art piece, it's amazing she hasn't already fallen on her face - and strikes a pose. The Pose.

"Evil-doers beware! I am Sailor Moon, the beautiful soldier who fights for love and justice! I right wrongs and triumph over evil - and that means you! Every day, thousands of teenagers, parents, and even old people flock to the mall to eat, shop, and enjoy themselves! If people wanted to visit some froggy swamp, they'd go outside! Restore the sanctity of our air-conditioned palace of capitalism, or in the Name of the Moon, I'll punish you!"

Ahmya Karashima has posed:
Well, less of a plan and more of just, a very much a chant. Definitely something that has been inspired by a certain popular children's TV series! ... I mean they even started with the PREPARE FOR TROUBLE part! Ami's response gets a bit of an off-guard response from the green-wearing one. "W-what? No we're plenty old enough I don't think you're any older than me also our parents are ... at work I think? ANYWAY IF YOU ARE NOT A MAGICAL GIRL ... uhm... maybe leave and get to safety I mean it's probably going to be dangerous here soon it'd be bad if you got hurt or something!"

The orange-wearing girl actually jumps down, her cape fluttering as she gets close to Ami to start trying to guide her away to a safer distance. It would have been graceful, if not for the TWING of a rose striking the sign they were all standing on, causing her landing to be a bit less graceful. Briefly stumbling and falling onto her rear, but she stands up quickly, the hood falling back to reveal her dog-ear...ed... hat? Or is that actual dog ears? She quickly pulls the hood back up though. "Ooh, that looks like a good book? What's it like?" In fact, they seemed to generally be guiding others to more 'safe' areas, all of them dispersing to the edges of the battlefield. In fact, people without magical power seem to be going back about their days as if nothing was happening and they weren't standing on lilypads floating on water.

The magic was probably not strong enough for even the active events to stick and they just think, much like Ami, it's a strange idol group stunt.

Castinets and a spanish cord playing though has Twilight Green looking around curiously, trying to find the source of it. Eventually leaning down to poke at the rose. ...How on earth did that get STUCK in the sign???

Kiseki would easily be able to identify...there are no youma here! Or monsters. That utter lack of danger still there, even as there was a frog 'monster' turning around and shooting water bullets around 'threateningly' at anything that seemed dangerous, making threatening 'gero gero's and frog croaking noises. ... ... Underneath the noises, listening closely, it's possible to hear the sound of a girl making those sounds.

A target of such makes her appearance, the justice speech of Sailor Moon beginning. Hidden off to the side somewhere near-ish the art piece, the smallest of the Dark Twilight Pact was crouching, using her small height to somewhat hide... she's definitely staring with stars in her eyes. Also not necessarily good at hiding.

Unfortunately this means that Sailor Moon is a target for 'Gerogero!', "Gerogero! This sweet and refreshing pond is better than that stuffy mall! Gerogero... pistol!" It doesn't have a pistol as it turns that minigun towards Sailor Moon, unleashing a torrent of watery bullets!

...It's like being shot by a hose that's been pinched to shoot a thinner jet of water.

Ami Mizuno has posed:
Sailor Mercury lifts her gaze to spot Tuxedo Kamen! And Sailor Moon! A sting of worry flits through her as she realizes they may not know what she knows. It's just an illusion so far as she can tell (though WHY she didn't know.) Maybe it was a distraction for something somewhere else that was about to occur.

Before she has time to really consider this, the other girl calls back to her about the parents and being of the same age, to which Ami just can't respond. She had a point. The other girl comes over to usher her away to apparent 'safety' which just has her baffled all over again.

It's easy to push her away because she's just so CONFUSED right now.

"What? But I-- This isn't dangerous at all, it's just..." Her book? That earns an few rapid blinks. "Oh, it is! It's 'Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation' which is really a very epic tale of-- Wait that's not what's important right now!"

Ami twists to look around trying to see what was happening from the 'safety' of the sidelines where she and others had been herded. Beneath her breath she mumbles, "That's just a garden hose. I can do so much better."

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
Tuxedo Kamen is also definitely stars-in-eyes at Sailor Moon, but he has a lot of self-control so it doesn't last very long before he jumps gracefully down from way up there on the installation, cape billowing behind him, and lands next to Twilight Green with an impossibly light ta-tap of dress shoes on the mall's tiled floor. "The problem," he says, not unkindly, "is that your frog could be in danger. We don't have any fake attacks. Do you understand?" A beat. "...do you have any Nerf we could borrow?"

He's so tall and so earnest!

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
The frog turns to her. It's - a frog. Person-sized! Small person-sized, even, if Usagi Tsukino, a slightly-shorter-than-average teenaged girl is not the person who should be judging anyone's height.

Even as she's splashed, Sailor Moon stands strong, refusing to accept watery-defeat!

(It's really obvious that there's no... danger here so... why not ham it up?)

"Spoken like someone who's never felt the excitement of having allowance to burn, the jangle of coins in your pocket, the surprise of an unexpected sale - you're no true mall rat!" She puts a hand up to block the water stream, and in that hand appears the Moon Stick, shining bright.

"How'd you make this pond appear, anyway? Is that the special trick of your Dark Twilight Pact?"

Tadase Hotori has posed:
Platinum Royale feels a little bit hands-tied right now. The're very kids and there's no dark energy and probably no -threat-... but... okay after seeing the water 'gun' there's not a threat at all. Unless it's like Hinote's? Aaaaand no, no it isn't. If Hinote's water gun hit like that he'd keep him out of fights.

    But that means maybe they're just kids. Obsidian does -have- some kids. Maybe they're like... children of the real bad guys, he thinks. Probably need to stop them before they get hurt. Tuxedo Mask's comment about not having any fake attacks makes him think.

    "I don't have any fake attacks either..." he muses. But what he does have is an attack that doesn't -hurt-. From his position behind the group he levels his scepter at the 'very dangerous' frog-illusion.

    "Royal Seal!" Platinum Royale calls out, and a royal symbol of frankly indeterminate and likely nonexistence European coat of arms appears traced in golden lines beneath the "youma" - before those lines rise up in golden color as golden threads, trying to wrap around the boy - perhaps while he's paying attention to the justice speech of the girl he's "so dangerously threatening".

Ahmya Karashima has posed:
     "I see, I see! It does sound pretty great. I mean you seemed pretty into it, so I'd say it's important! Don't put your hobbies down! We are a dark twilight pact, you're a book reader. Both equally good hobbies!" They're not really equally good hobbies. One is actually dangerous. One is not. They are not the same. The mutter of it just being a garden hose and her being able to do so much better gets a sly look from the orange-dressed girl. "Oh? Do you have a high powered super soaker or something?" She has a very :3 look on her face as she asks that.

And Tux jumps over next to Twilight Green! And he mentions not having any fake attacks. "Uhhh... not really... we're using real magic too." I just was actually pretty weak it seems! Also mainly illusory, as more of that sweet and earthy-smelling incense is wafting through the area. WAIT SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A VILLAIN, AAAAAAA.

The magic water bullets are caught in a single hand by Sailor Moon, and Gerogero seems actually somewhat surprised by this, looking at her as she speaks. "Uhh... magic? I mean. GEROGERO." Crap the youma's not supposed to know.

The frog was continuing to shoot, and the water was clearly actually magic! And then ... there were gold threads lifting up to wrap around the frog! And... they ... seem to ... disappear into the frog as they do?!

...Yeah the illusion is bigger than the girl inside and the magic, not being able to see such a thing, just phased through it, meanwhile there were struggling sounds from the frog in spite of it still standing with arms outstretched as if to continue firing.

Crap crap crap it was supposed to be a bit longer of a fight so it felt like really being saved and having fun! Aaah!

But to the rescue from the side comes Twilight Purple, darting from behind Sailor Moon towards Tadase with her hands outstretched! "L-Leave Gerogero alone! S...Stormy Streams!" And a small thundercloud begins to form above Platinum Royale! Shooting... little... lightning bolts towards him to try to distract him and break his magic to free the frog! ...They probably tingle a little, not even as strong as a stun gun, any actual effectiveness coming from the rain accompanying it.

Tadase Hotori has posed:
Platinum Royale looks up at the stormcloud. "Come on, you really have no idea how used I am to having a small annoying thing buzzing around my head." He says, exasperatedly, still holding the scepter out. "This is just another day trying to get my homework done." Internally, Kiseki does not find this nearly as amusing as Tadase does, by the half-smile on Platinum Royale's face.

    "I don't know what you're playing at, but this isn't a game. If somebody shows up out of the blue and doesn't take the time to figure out what's going on, you could get really hurt." He warns. And who is that at? Well, everyone.

    But particularly the "youma" since it had to remember how to be a "youma". "This isn't a TV show." he says, looking to Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon for some help on this line of discussion.

Ami Mizuno has posed:
Sailor Mercury watches what she can only consider 'shenannians' for a few moments longer. Then she turns to walk off down the pathway, taking a turn in for the women's restrooms that were there. Thankfully they were also rather vacant at the moment given all the attention was on the situation in the food court.

A few moments later there's another magical girl out in the open. Sailor Mercury alights with a gentle leap ontop of a tabletop turned lily-pad to *point* dramatically at the group of girls.

"Everyone knows playing with fire is bad, but if you aren't careful around water it can be just as dangerous! Someone could get hurt-- Plus water and electricity don't mix! We're *inside*!"

"You shouldn't play pretend when you could get really hurt! I'm Sailor Mercury! Douse yourself in water, and repent!"

Well if THEY were all hamming it up, she saw no reason not to! Some part of her was kind of enjoying this. For once there was no real threat. Though another part, the responsible part, was screaming at her 'these kids could be in real trouble if they came across actual threats.

Either way SHE at least had an attack that couldn't harm anyone. Her arms cross over her chest only to fling out with a stream of bubbles erupting toward the girls, and frog-suited 'youma' with a cry of, "Sabao Spray!" The mist was no longer just from incense.

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
Tuxedo Kamen sighs, reaching up to pinch the bridge of his nose, right where his mask sits. "You're still not--" he starts, then cuts himself off, shaking his head. "Time to get creative, I guess."

He's so into it! A kid who didn't get imaginative play as a smol bean, excited for the opportunity--! But... not... quite knowing what to do. Creativity does strike in the problem-solving way, at least; he pulls another rose out of nowhere, just like the one that got stuck through the sign, and he sings out, "Tuxedo Exfoliant Rose!"

It's honestly just him throwing the magic rose petals-first instead of stem-first, whipping it at Twilight Orange, but it's at enough of a speed and it's magical enough that it PAFS into a glittering explosion of flower on its honestly fairly punchy impact.

Like it's like a really hard fistbump that explodes into glitter and rose petals. Which seems kind of on brand for today.

"Stop," he calls out, "your magic isn't going to help if we split you up and you can't work as a team! And besides, oh my god you're all so cute let me get my phone--"

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
"Well," Sailor Moon says to the frog, "There's really only one thing to do here, you know? Because you're a monster made out of some poor, innocent - hey! Not so rough with the kid!"

She's calling to Platinum Royale, clearly the ones responsible for these beams.

"Sorry, where was I? Right! You're a monster made out of some poor kid, and I, Sailor Moon, have to stop you, so I can defeat those evil-doers over there!"

This is obviously some kind of make-believe, but here's the thing: Sailor Moon is really good at multiclassing. And her attacks? Kind of super specialized. Especially her purifying one.

Leaping back to put some distance between her and the frog, Sailor Moon thrusts her arm out and carves a circle of golden light into the air itself with her Moon Stick.

"Moon Healing Escalation!"

Beams of light and silver mists flow directly for the frog monster - and as there's no Dark Energy, don't actually do anything to hurt them... but, hopefully, it's a cool enough show that this frog will decide to let herself be saved.

Ahmya Karashima has posed:
Stormy Streams didn't seem to do anything! ... Well maybe it did /something/ but Platinum Royale didn't seem to actually be effected by it. "S..so strong." She says quietly under her breath, beginning to skitter away again as Platinum Royale talks, like a kid who's been caught with her hand in the jar and trying to find a place to hide. Which becomes much more difficult as there is now a mist from Sabao Spray spreading through the area! Mixing with the incense in the area, however, it did seem *intensify* the illusions in the area, the mist thickening. ...Because the moisture in the air was starting to make the hidden incense burner nearby gutter and give off more smoke and less wisps of incense.

They weren't ignoring the call-outs though, Orange, in particular, who was returning from 'ushering' the now-returned Sailor Mercury away, speaks up through the mist.

"Okay but like would you actually want this to be real danger today? I mean if there's some actual danger somewhere we won't stop you because we're not trying to get anyone actually hurt. Besides... in a way... we've already achi--!" Tuxedo Kamen is kind of a maiden and clearly they've stolen his pure heart!

...A speech that would have hit better, probably, if she hadn't been cut off mid-conversation. By a rose to the face, causing her to cough and sputter a bit as she tries to wipe the damp glitter and rose petals off her face. "Bleh some of it got in my mouth gah!"

She was going to be getting glitter out of her hair for weeks.

With the spreading mist, though, the illusions were faltering, the lily pads starting to disappear, the 'water' below them returning to land, and the 'Youma' now being the only thing left!

"Gerogero... this is my land, this refreshing pond will not fall so easily!"

Moon healing escalation!

... ... Nevermind no it's not anymore!

In fact, even the smoky mist and sweet smelling incense is... wiped away in the face of the Moon Healing Escalation, everything returning to normal, leaving only a (still somewhat bound up) blue-outfit-wearing girl and the four girls in their capes dotted around the food court in various different areas.

"O...Oh! ...I...I'm free! Thank you, Sailor Moon!" Says the blue girl, dropping to her knees! ...Partially because standing with that binding was actually a little uncomfortable. Meanwhile, Green jumps down from the sign.

"That was... so... so... COOL! You all just kind of showed up out of nowhere and we honestly weren't sure anyone would actually show and honestly were going to try and play it off as a stunt for social media or something but like you ACTUALLY showed and it was amazing and..." Yeah she is absolutely gushing and won't stop and the other four girls are gathering nearby, Blue pulling her own cape over her to 'hide' her identity. Not that she needed to, she was ~technically~ in henshin. ...Well, after using some water blades to cut herself free ... with a bit of effort ... ...Okay possibly with Platinum Royale helping by releasing her hopefully.

Tadase Hotori has posed:
Platinum Royale sighs. Everyone else at least seemed to be hamming it up a little bit more than he was. Internally, even Kiseki is telling him that he should, occasionally, maybe, slightly, lighten up a little bit. He can't really have a full on argument with his literal other half today - and it looks like the others having given the "enemies" the "show" they wanted. So once the mist falls and the kid-youma is now kid and not frog he waves with his scepter and banishes the golden lines.

    He's about to say something, but his continued internal argument prevents him from doing much more than walking forward, a sort of quite confused look on his face. It's mostly due to internal discussions, but it may come off like he's confused at the direction the others here have chosen to go with it. "I'm just glad everyone here is alright." He says, finally.

Ami Mizuno has posed:
Sailor Mercury lets out a small breath of relief as things start to wind down. Sure there was no actual threat, but she was quite flustered and uncertain exactly what she should do. If anything. The urge to sneak off at this point to go read some more was very, very strong.

"Good one, Sailor Moon!" She calls out to her friend with a wave, and likewise to Tuxedo Mask. Maybe they were just better with kids than she was. Nevermind the fact that SHE is a kid too.

A little hop has her dismount the table she'd been perched on to her feet. Using the mist to her advantage she makes her way for the exit with an occasional glance around to make sure everything is okay.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Now that the fight is over, Sailor Moon allows the Moon Stick to slip away, disappearing back into the pocket dimension her things go when she isn't holding onto them.

"Now that that's over... I'm so glad you're safe, lil miss!"

Her smile looks... a little... devious -

As she lunges to pick the little girl in blue up, hands slotting into place under her arms. She hoists her up, like Rafiki with Simba!

"Don't you ever do that again, you hear me? I'm glad you had fun, and I'm glad we found you, but this could have been really dangerous! You know some of my friends have swords? You could have been hit with a sword! That's not cool!"

Being jangled around by a superhero might be kind of cool, though.

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
Of course, all his phone captures is Sabao Spray; Tuxedo Kamen is defeated. He puts his phone away in his hat and vanishes his hat, looking disappointed. "You okay over there, Orange Girl?" he calls over... and then he eyes Green. "Wait -- you were using real magic, I know, but... it's literally just enough to get you in trouble for real. Not everyone can tell when there's no dark energy making a monster, and not all real monsters use dark energy. A vampire attacked me last month, really strong, and he apparently really likes feeding off of magical people, and there was no dark energy involved at all, and if he shows up again I'm not holding back --"

He sighs, running a hand through his hair. "Be careful. Stick together. Don't do this again. Do you have any idea how much we were all pulling our punches?"

And then he looks positively aggrieved. "And Moon and I were on a date. This stuff always happens to our dates!"

Ahmya Karashima has posed:
     "Oh, yeah. We had some contingencies in place if things got too dangerous. I can heal and have a first aid kit, and then if someone was actually trying to hurt someone we'd have had them get lost in the illusions probably. ...Though I think we /did/ underestimate just how strong you guys are ... our own powers are a lot weaker..." Probably because the poor Twilight Incense Projector is over there working overtime. The spirit inside definitely carrying the team with (nonexistent) sounds of effort.

Look you try powering 5 different girls on your own.

Sailor Mercury's escape is gone largely unnoticed, as the blue girl -- one of the two older girls of the group, about 12 or 13 years old, is lifted up by her armpits by Sailor Moon. There's a 'hurk' as she's shook around a bit by her while talking. "W-whoa hey okay b-but ack!" Yeah she's trying to mount a defense, but it's hard when being held by the armpits. And then her two younger sisters -- Pink and Purple -- come running from the sides to work at trying to free her, the 8-year-old purple-wearing girl hanging from one arm, while Pink grabs at Blue from behind to attempt to dislodge and pull her away from Sailor Moon. Tuxedo Kamen approaches!

And more scolding happens. The girls are starting to deflate a bit from their excitement. ...Though this was kind of cool in its own way. Be careful, stick together, and also ruin more of their da-- don't ruin their dates. In unison

While still trying to pull Blue away from Sailor Moon.

"We're sorry. ...We just thought it'd be cool to be saved by magical girls but didn't want anyone to ACTUALLY be in danger." ... ... ... Also they absolutely (Eventually) would probably pose for pictures. ...Also try to get phone numbers. "We did realize you were pulling your punches though. I mean you stuck that rose into a /sign/. That's not even how roses work what the heck. Do you have a hurricane-force throw or something???"

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
They were on such a nice date. Honestly, when will the universe let them have a good time?! What does it take to enjoy a nice meal, or hold hands for more than five minutes, or just exist together in a place?

Honestly? Swinging a child around is a little cathartic. She understands why her mama used to do this all the time! Even when two othjer children hop on to try and get her to let go, in henshin she can hold them up! At least for a few minutes. They swinging around too, before she finally lets all three down, and wags her finger at them.

"...I'm glad you all have been thinking about this. And you're right, that Tuxedo Kamen is incredibly cool and out of this world."

She glances at Tuxedo Kamen, aiming to use girlfriend telepathy (and just outright silently mouthing the words) to ask, 'do you still have any of those burner phones'?

Tadase Hotori has posed:
    Platinum Royale nods at Sailor Moon when she mentions the swords. And sighs when she kind of commends them on thinking about it. "I guess I'll try to let people know thjat you're out there and try to prevent any kind of stabbing accidents. But the best way to avoid that would be to... not do things like this." he says, gesturing around.

    "I guess I know that sometimes being told no isn't enough though, so if you're going to do it anyways, at least be safe as you can. You're playing with danger here." he sighs. But in a way they remind him that some of what he does is cool - the kind of things he'd dream about doing if he was still unpowered and a few years younger. He wonders if he's changed or if it's just a little bit of 'it's less fun when it's your life than when it's an idea'. Really, it isn't always unfun, is it? These questions weigh on him a bit, and he smiles. "Some of that was pretty neat though."

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
Tuxedo Kamen nods to Sailor Moon after looking kind of conflicted at Green. "Yeah, I've got it," he says to Usagi, re-appearing his hat and digging in it with his whole arm before coming up with a nondescript black phone that has a cat sticker on the back to break up the monotony.

He steps closer, waits until she's put them down, and then hands her the phone open to the number pad.

"Magic roses and hurricane force throw," he finally admits to Green, then glances up at Platinum Royale and looks a little guilty.

Ahmya Karashima has posed:
Okay seriously they were being casually held up by Sailor Moon so maybe Tuxedo Kamen /did/ have hurricane force throws?! Sure, Purple is smil and light, but all together... geeze! Still, eventually they're let down and all settle down ... though Purple has taken up an ever so slightly shy post partially behind her oldest sister, Blue.

"Honestly ... since you know we exist now like. ...We mostly do this because this way we can take turns being saved and like. I mean cat's out of the bag now! But like. We didn't want to go and try to seek out an ACTUAL villain or something that would just be dumb." .... Yes their own idea was kind of dumb too but it's technically /less/ dumb. Sort of. Kind of? Actually being actually turned into Youma might be safer in the long run since purification usually just returns them to normal after, right?

And then a burner phone is brought out, which Orange reaches to take, rather than Green. Magic roses and hurricane force throw. Meanwhile Pink has gone off to the side, where she's retrieved what looks like an incense burner, though she doesn't let the mahou have much chance to look at it before hiding it away in her cloak. So they can't take it from them.

They had to spend /so much/ of their allowance on that.

Orange comments towards Tuxedo, "And glitter. I'm going to finding that in places for weeks I'm sure." She seems pretty chill about it in spite of the semi-complaining words. "Maybe next time we can arrange something so people are more ready to deal with it on all sides. We can have stuff that's less dangerous available, and you can make sure nothing else dangerous is going on so we're not distracting you from actual problems and stuff. And like.

"Yeah! If we mess up and get hurt that's our own fault."
