(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: you asked what?

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: oh, joy, i've discovered a new layer of mad

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i was like 'do you want me to tell you about your daughter'

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: Sailor Charon. She's having her go around as a Senshi?

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i guess she figured it was a good disguise. i mean shes not a senshi right?

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: your daughter who's the kidnapped daughter of-

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: SHE MIGHT BE

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: but she's not, shes using a Device

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: She might be the most dangerous one of us all and there's no way of being sure unless she awakens and I don't want her to fucking awaken

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: a device she can break easily and that she even admitted Riventon fixed for her and that mostly seems like a medical device!

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: setsuna told me hannah fixed it

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: it's only a maybe but setsuna KNOWS its a maybe and she's KNOWN its a maybe and SO DID MICHIRU

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: and they still encouraged this!!!

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i know thats not the point

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: before this, you know, when she was trying to stab me all those times, she mentioned Riventon helping her with it

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: SO MAYBE ITS A JOINT FUCKING - HANNAH CHAN? DID FUCKING HANNAH-CHAN KNOW????

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: yeah riventon built it in the first place. since she's one of the few people he actually gives a shit about

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i have no idea! hannah probably doesnt know shes firefly though

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: i will not have a rage induced heart attack i will not have a rage induced heart attack

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: do you want me to come over so you can yell instead of break your phone?

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: I won't give them the fucking satisfaction what the FUCK calling me their fucking princess acknowledging me as a fucking queen what the FUCK

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: no! Because i'll yell at you! and i don't want to yell at you!

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: you need to yell though. we can go on the mountain and you can yell at the trees? you can yell at neph's house!!!

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i dont want you to have a rage induced heart attack either

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: maybe later. I'm with Ami-chan and I feel bad because she likes the Outers and maybe they're actually HER friends and they respect HER

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: Because clearly no one gives a shit about MY opinion

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i'm so sorry i couldnt tell you hotaru was firefly.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: I'm very angry but I understand that you care about her and did not want to be the first to start revealing IDs.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: I'm still very fucking mad but I know that it's not really at you, especially if she said she would tell me. And you only found out a few days before the portal, you said. She said she'd been there for weeks.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: WEEKS? [typing typing typing pause typing] i'm so sorry.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: Weeks! Weeks! She has been with them for weeks! They have been keeping this a secret for weeks!

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: You know Uranus blamed me for the fucking fall?

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: what.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: Maybe they all do.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: Not today. Ages ago. She was such a huge bitch to me when we first met and when they tried to kill Hinoiri and I knew it was because of the past and decisions that happened that she thought were bad

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: well. these were the fucking decisions.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: im sorry but what the fuck why-- how could it POSSIBLY have been your fault? we were just trying to make peace

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: why the hell would they blame YOU???

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: and they are harboring the one they think is the most dangerous senshi? and uranus blames you for the fall? i'm trying to understand

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: she said she was disappointed in me.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: I've never forgot that, that she said she was disappointed in me.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: I didn't know why but this is the only thing it could be.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: It was before we knew I was the princess. When we all thought I was just one of the inner senshi.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: i don't know if she still blames me. i don't know if she's still disappointed. but i've realized THAT'S what she was upset with me for, all those months ago, and it's old but it's new and i'm so angry.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: how DARE she-- how dare she blame any of the inner senshi!

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: 'disappointed'

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: what the fuck

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: what can i do to help?

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: that's how i feel.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: i have to tell the girls. i have to figure out what to tell them.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: I'm not going to be a hypocrite. I can't be this fucking angry at the Outers and do the same. Help me figure out what all to say?

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: and yes. she might be the most dangerous one of us all. she could be Sailor Saturn.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: Okay. Okay, get your mad out first by writing down all the stuff you WANT to say, whether or not it would be helpful.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: then i will help you edit it down into what you ought to say

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: okay, yes, I will do that.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: that's a good idea.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: Ami is suggesting ramen, so i will let the noodles have my rage.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: Okay. I'm just doing homework so let me know whenever you want me to come over or kick Koji out.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: its prince of high school all over again like real people arent perfect. i think he still has me on a pedestal. i need to work on him.

:(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: you're the prince. sometimes i think people forget that we're people too
:(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: maybe the Outers thought they were protecting me by not saying anything, just like how Tamachan was going to take his feelings to his stupid grave
:(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: as if that didn't go horribly the first time! there could always be other demons

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: kazuo and zoi and neph all know that their prince is a troll who is not better or worse than them. maybe i should be more of a jerk in front of tamachan lol
