Black Moon Clan

On a perfectly ordinary day in November, Mamoru Chiba had a bit of a get-together, a to celebrate his new apartment building - and new apartment - being officially habitable. It stopped being a perfectly ordinary day when a pink-haired little girl fell from the sky, declared herself Usagi Tsukino, and demanded the Silver Crystal.

A month later, a new enemy followed her to Tokyo. They are the Black Moon Clan, and they want nothing more than to destroy the future that another world's Sailor Moon built.

A Plan to Get Intel	December 15th, 2024	Veronica comes to Usagi after her encounter with Koan at the mall, wanting to get answers, share information, and offer a plan of her own - to disguise herself as one of the Senshi, so she can provoke information out of those scoundrels!

Murder, She Wrote	January 30th, 2025	Having learned that the Senshi can surrender to Dark Energy, given incentive and exposure, it's the Black Moon Clan's intent to grind their spirits into the darkness.

Texts: I know you're a cat right now	February 6th, 2025	After 2304/Politics are a Cold Game, Usagi texts Veronica, who replies from her space in the cafe using a web host for her number's messaging app.

Borrowing Without Asking	February 7th, 2025	Catra has kidnapped a princess. Except that this is the future moon princess Chibiusa Tsukino. Also actually this kidnapping was really more of a rescue without telling anyone. Midway through lunch, Mamoru and Usagi show up to reclaim their daughter.

And while the fight goes on? The genius Entrapta befriends an evil robot boy. It's a good thing programming can be rewritten, huh?

Death of a Bachelor	March 15th, 2025	Trapped in Moon Space with the heroes - those who battled through Scene 2405/Maidenless Behavior and those who arrive as reinforcements - Crimson Rubeus gives it his all.
