Dangerous Orbits

In which Sunbreaker decides that Naru Osaka has magical powers, and attempts to examine their nature. Possibly by eliciting them where they do not yet actually exist. Naru's friends and allies take a lot of exception.

Bruises and bruisemarks	September 2nd, 2023	Hinoiri comes back to her dorm room to rest off the beating she got from Sailor Moon. Fortunately, her roommate, Dianora, is there to help provide a caring ear and a pint of ice cream. Such a sweet little thing.

How it started...	September 7th, 2023	Naru wakes up. Sunbreaker TOTALLY has all of this under control. Totally. Yup. Definitely.
An accomplice	September 7th, 2023	Hinoiri... has to ask for help. Even if she tries to deny it, rationalize it and accept it. Still... she gets it.

Texts: technically i only agreed not to get set on fire	September 7th, 2023	In which Kazuo checking in with Naru's roommate after Naru misses their morning run prompts an entire cascade of Things, ranging from Usagiflail to Bad Ideas to everything basically hating everything to discussion of Murder Missions (and yet Hannah does not actually appear in this log!) to Kazuo getting handed almost all of the things he was carefully trying to duck having stored in his head. (Strong language, mostly between Kazuo and Kyouka.)

Preparing to Take the Stage	September 8th, 2023	Double Trouble arrives at the secret mountain cabin where Hinoiri has Naru stashed. They've got one conversation to learn enough about Naru to pretend to be her, so they're honest and appeal to Naru's better nature. They find her to be surprisingly cooperative with the plan.
