2:54 PM

Mamoru group TXT Usagi and Kazuo: so, i'm gonna lead with we're all alive and the gem is destroyed and we have the pieces

Mamoru TXT: and masato and i are gonna be fine physically but masato's feeling kind of betrayed i think

Mamoru TXT: also saturn called me 'my king' and i dont like it but i forgot to tell her so

2:59 PM

Kazuo TXT: you were presumably a little occupied at the time

3:00 PM

Mamoru TXT: yeah neph and i had just crashed through the porch and back wall of an abandoned house

3:01 PM

Usagi TXT: was i supposed to be worrying you wouldn't come back alive?!?!

3:01 PM

Mamoru TXT: no lol he's just so full of dark energy that it bled out without him henshining

3:02 PM

Usagi TXT: riventon didn't stick to your caveman punching agreemen- WHA

3:03 PM

Mamoru TXT: well he picked me up and threw me at neph like a pog, kind of? from what i understand. and then he threw the gem at us and shot the gem

3:05 PM

Usagi TXT: are you okay? you're texting so you must be okay wait. saturn? as in sailor kill us all saturn, not hotaru?

3:06 PM

Mamoru TXT: yeah ill be fine, saturn healed me and i healed masato. and yeah saturn silence walled the rest of the exploding from us

3:07 PM

Kazuo TXT: sailor not kill us all saturn

3:07 PM

Usagi TXT: i for one approve of this 180 spin on attitudes from her

Usagi TXT: sorry. not the time for jokes. are you heading back to the apartment?

3:08 PM

Mamoru TXT: yeah. and its fine jokes are fine. i kind of emotionally disengaged when i realized his beef was basically jealousy

3:09 PM

Usagi TXT: jealousy of what???

3:12 PM

Mamoru TXT: from what i can tell, everything i have and am, but also you because i turned away from him to you, and the fact that you could save me when he couldn't

3:30 PM

Usagi TXT: ?¿?

3:32 PM

Mamoru TXT: boy's just made of jealous. i honestly dont know what to do with it

Mamoru TXT: i have to decide whether i'm telling on him to you guys or not. because, he's NOT using the beryl rock anymore. It is destroyed. he did it. and maybe you can purify the pieces before we throw them into a volcano

Mamoru TXT: but he also attacked with superstrength and threw around a lot of raw DE

3:36 PM

Usagi TXT: It's your choice, because he's your stupid brother, but he lost it and attacked you and I don't... I don't think that counts.

3:39 PM

Mamoru TXT: it's my word against my word

3:40 PM

Usagi TXT: but i think what really matters is how it will make you feel and how it will make him frel

3:41 PM

Mamoru TXT: i'll feel shitty whether or not i tell, haha. that's not part of the decision making process.

3:41 PM

Kazuo TXT: how hard did you make it for him to convince himself he's justified?

3:42 PM

Mamoru TXT: well he yelled something about letting usagi into my head to control my life instead of listening to him

Mamoru TXT: so i told him he's wrong, he's always been wrong, and also, usagi wins and he doesn't

Mamoru TXT: i said that and his eyes glowed literally green lol, and he picked me up and threw me. but the whole time before that i was basically just calling him on his jealousy

Mamoru TXT: i know he'll look at it as that i broke the deal, i broke the arrangement, because he did give up the gem

Mamoru TXT: but he's also full of dark energy and has absolutely wretched judgment

3:46 PM

Kazuo TXT: Ahh. So he had both his self-justifications for keeping his power challenged at the same time that his primary emotional connection was threatened.

Kazuo TXT: Honestly, I'm impressed that the dark energy only leaked. That's much more self-control than I expected him to show in that kind of situation.

3:50 PM

Mamoru TXT: he also seems to see me keeping his name secret as sacred. i wonder really if it's because it's like, the one area of control he thinks he has over me

Mamoru TXT: it's not like i'd be flying it on a banner over the city, im just literally telling you two

Mamoru TXT: that

Mamoru TXT: i only have

Mamoru TXT: one

Mamoru TXT: (2m wait)

Mamoru TXT: brother.

3:56 PM

Kazuo TXT: ...

Kazuo TXT: identity magic is a hell of a drug

3:58 PM

Mamoru TXT: isn't it

4:01 PM

Usagi TXT: I guess it only makes sense that your brother would be mad about that, he wanted to help you

Usagi TXT: wait

Usagi TXT: wait.

Usagi TXT: I FELT BAD I COULDN'T INVITE HIM TO THE WEDDING

Usagi TXT: I GAVE HIM TWO NEW YEARS GIFTS

Usagi TXT: mamochan

5:19 PM

Mamoru TXT: i'm sorry!!

Mamoru TXT: i'm sorry. but i also just completely and thoroughly chose you both over my brother, just like he said i would when i left.

Mamoru TXT: so i guess he was right about one thing

5:22 PM

Usagi TXT: I'm not mad at you, especially since it's obviously not fun or funny and he was a big dumb jerk who made you pick

Usagi TXT: you picked us over him because we never asked you to pick. he did.

5:25 PM

Mamoru TXT: I still love him. i just dont know if theres anything i can do for him.

5:27 PM

Usagi TXT: i really wish i had real answers.

Usagi TXT: all I can think of is that you should be with him but not lie to him? not pretend. and if he doesn't want that then it's not your fault.

5:29 PM

Mamoru TXT: yeah. and... it was my bad for not having this fight a lot sooner. it was always going to be a fight. but i wasn't ready before.

5:30 PM

Usagi TXT: definitely not your bad

5:31 PM

Mamoru TXT: i've been lying to him about thinking he could 'handle' dark energy for like a year and a half or something because i didn't want to alienate him

Mamoru TXT: he wasn't crossing my lines yet. which... is selfish.

Mamoru TXT: i think neph needs more consoling than i do, i'm mostly incredulous

5:38 PM

Usagi TXT: I don't think alienating him would have helped

Usagi TXT: maybe he wouldn't have been so shocked right now

Usagi TXT: but I don't think it would have helped, but even if it is selfish, does it matter?

5:39 PM

Mamoru TXT: it matters in that it's important to me that i identify my motivations, but it doesn't matter for interpersonal reasons

5:40 PM

Usagi TXT: good! well as long as its like that, of course you didn't want to tell him to his face that he's choking bad on explodey juice

5:41 PM

Mamoru TXT: YEAH. like what would it have gotten me? just a fight, no improvement. in principle i was doing us both a disservice but in practice what else was i gonna do if i wanted to keep seeing him

5:45 PM

Usagi TXT: i feel like he was better for sometimes kind of listening to you before he knew you thought he was full of it than he would have been for him ignoring you

5:46 PM

Mamoru TXT: that had also factored in yeah

Mamoru TXT: poor axion though

5:54 PM

Mamoru TXT: shit. okay, i'm gonna be in the ballpit if you need me

6:24 PM

Usagi TXT: i'll bring cookies

Usagi TXT: i'll ask makochan to make them

6:25 PM

Mamoru TXT: yee
