Chibiusa Tsukino has posed:
    Wicked Lady is running this show.

    She's taken over a portion of Black Moon Clan's dimension-crossing space ship, specifically the now empty rooms of the Spectre Sisters. Wicked Lady has knocked out the wall between Koan's and Berthier's rooms, giving her a lot of extra space to build her own 'party zone'. The actual rooms used for sleeping are elsewhere, and New Moon gets her own, because as much as Wicked Lady considers her a toy she's also a favorite toy and that means she gets to have nice things. Like her very own room on the evil space ship.

    As for the party zone of darkness, one half of the room has a disco dance floor, a disco ball, other flashing lights, a stereo system... basically everything you'd actually need to host a dance. The other side of the room is set up with couches and a few pieces of Black Moon tech rearranged to be a movie/television viewing area, with a future magitech platform serving as a coffee table.

    Wicked Lady is luxuriously lounging at the couch, leaning to one side, legs tucked up beside her. One hand props her cheek up, with her elbow against the arm rest. The other hand is holding a martini glass full of grape juice. The the dancefloor lights are flashing and pulsating, but no music is being played. There is also no sign of any serious strategic planning or anything work-related being done at all in this room.

    This is clearly a woman who takes herself, and her work, very seriously.

    Clearly.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Into Wicked Lady's Den of Serious Business and Evil, complete with grape juice and dance-floor party lights, comes New Moon, teleporting in with a burst of dark energy and a flash of light. In her arms is the oversized form of one Mamoru Chiba, who looks especially tall and broad for being in New Moon's embrace.

"Wicked Lady," she chirps, "I didn't get the Takoyaki, but I did get your father!"

Praise her! She has done well!

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
It's-- a really funny image. Mamoru waves! from New Moon's arms, beaming. He looks a little ruffled and a little pink, and he's wearing the same kind of stuff he usually wears, all black with fancy shoes and a band shirt, this one for a group called Rose Rose. "Baby," he says warmly, then shifts in a way that indicates he'd like to get down if possible. "I had a yukata painted to match your color scheme and I have a bottle of pink hair dye at home~"

Chibiusa Tsukino has posed:
    Wicked Lady hears the voice of her favorite subject bringing her other favorite subject and her entire face lights up with evil joy. She daintily sets her grape juice down on the coffee platform and rises up to greet her faithful assistant with arms spread wide. "Well done, New Moon! A successful kidnapping. You're doing a far better job than the fools who used to rest in these halls. I knew I could always count on you, my dear assistant."

    She barely notices the lack of Takoyaki. Mamoru is more important.

    Wicked Lady beams and rests her fingers on her jawline as she looks her father over. "Oh, you do? Lovely. You'll fit right in. Do you have a new alter-ego name picked out yet?"

    She is notably not hypnotizing him or filling him with darkness. Wiseman never told her she had to and she's feeling lazy.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
"That's because they worked for Demande, and I work for you," New Moon says proudly, "You only have the best of all things, including minions!"

Clearly. That's how it works.

When Mamoru makes his announcement, she brightens a little more.

"A yukata! Is it the one with the cats, or a different one?" With all of their various enemies and friends who don't realize they should be allies absent, New Moon is much more relaxed, setting Mamoru down gently and then lowering herself into a chair near Wicked Lady, watching him. Despite what she'd said to Takashi earlier, she also isn't trying to get him to take up dark energy.

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
"I thought it would be a better idea if you picked what you wanted me to be called," Mamoru says sheepishly, lifting a hand to briefly rub the back of his head. "I can think of one if you'd rather not."

He has begun the delicate dance of who gets how much of his attention at any given time, and he feels up to the challenge. If he fucks up he can always say he's sorry and he'll do better. She's a nine hundred year old five year old who looks like a twenty-something-- she's so good at being five, you guys, so good at it. And Mamoru has been good at interactions with five year olds for a long time!

This is fine.

His attention flickers to New Moon and he grins. "Not the one with the cats, it doesn't match you two. It's a black one with roses on it." He shakes his fluffy hair. "And I was thinking pink tips, what do you think?"

He's not saying anything about what New Moon said to Takashi, either. He's hoping if he just never brings it up neither will they. Maybe. No, he says something, a little uncertainly. "I was also thinking of asking Riventon to make a thingy that can mask me to look like I'm using Dark Energy. Should I? Or just leave it?"

Chibiusa Tsukino has posed:
    Wicked Lady watch her parents settle in, and once it seems like everyone is situated she gets right back to her lounging couch, picking up her grape juice martini glass before taking a sip. She watches the pair of them report to her, as good minions should. If there's any feeling of anger or dissatisfied entitlement in her heart, it's not showing on the surface. Instead, the two of them just see her self satisfied smile as everything goes according to her plans.

    What plans were those exactly? Don't worry about it. She has this all under control.

    "Black with roses. Alright. I'll accept it." Her mouth twists in an unreadably neutral way as she considers pink tips. She's considering the look of it against his current getup, and also against what she imagines the yukata looks like. "I mean. You can. Two tone black and pink hair fits within the Team Wicked dress code."

    Was 'Team Wicked' a thing before just now? No. Will it ever be brought up again? Maybe. Same answers for the dress code, really.

    The fake Dark Energy gets a bit more interest as she shifts slightly to adjust her posture. "I mean... how obviously fake do you mean? The moment some idiot tries to purify you, does it all fall apart?"

    She takes another sip, glances at the ceiling, and then laughs as she realizes something. "Ahahaha! It doesn't matter! Actually, the worse it looks the better. We should absolutely look like we're mocking our enemies at all times. It will throw them off of our true plans."

    Wicked Lady does not clarify who she means by 'our enemies', nor does she feel the need to. There's no real telling who is listening in on her right now.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
"Black with pink roses works! It will be a homage to our darling daughter," New Moon hums with satisfaction, and then frowns. "Pink frosted tips is fine, you'll look cute but... how are you going to take the mark?"

He's absolutely not getting a tattoo, and none of them know how to make a fake tattoo, and - and Wicked Lady is happy about it, laughing delightedly, and therefore, it's fine, right? No need to overthink it. No need to worry about anything. Wicked Lady is happy and that's all that matters.

That's all that matters.

"You just have to make sure you stay with one of us, so you don't run into either of them. And then you'll be fine. And that shouldn't be a problem, because you're here to spend time with our Lady, aren't you?"

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
"Yes! Family time, wonderful daughter time, getting to hug you both lots-- you know I never last long far away from you. It was three whole weeks we were here without you!" Mamoru replies, coming over to sit, too. His answers are quick and sincere and warm. "So don't worry, I'll definitely stay with one or both of you. I don't need another beating, and anyway, why would I have asked to come with if I didn't want to be with you?"

When New Moon asks how he'll take the mark, he sleight-of-hands an eyeliner pencil out of thin air and gives her a sly grin. "This'll work especially well if we're making fun of them, like our Lady wants."

That said, he looks back at Wicked Lady and smiles so affectionately, and then when she starts laughing his eyes gleam. "Oh I'm positive he can make something that doesn't last through purification at all."

Finally he takes out his hat properly, then reaches inside it and pulls out some silver crystal candy. "Remember when I was looking for it?" he asks New Moon. "To buy us some time I raided your dorm room for what Hinoiri made and we can reuse them for the same, original intent. Sorry for raiding your dorm room."

Chibiusa Tsukino has posed:
    Wicked Lady raises an eyebrow and gives her father an amused grin at the sight of the eyeliner pencil. "Well... I suppose that's one way." It most certainly fits the vibe of mockery that Lady is going for.

    "Terribly sorry to leave you waiting. We had a lot of set-up work to do. Plotting, scheming, possibly backstabbing. You know how it is." She waves her hand dismissively, trying to seem like she's explaining the three week gap without actually explaining anything.

    The Silver Crystal candy is revealed, and she has to chuckle. "For safety reasons, you are not to attempt to fool Wiseman with one of those. Demande and Saphir are fine." Juice sip. "I mean. If he wants candy then that's one thing but somehow he doesn't strike me as the type."

    Wicked Lady leans forward to place her martini glass on the coffee platform before going back to lounging on her couch. "Well! In any case. Welcome to our glorious lair. Make yourself at home. You'll be here while!"

    She laughs. It's an evil laugh. Then she stops and says, "Well, I mean, unless you need to head out. Just tell me where you're going so I know Demande isn't taking his personal failings as man out on you again."
