---

(PHONE) Bow texts: Mamoru? It's Bow. I found out why Glimmer is helping Riventon! And... I'm sorry my Queen is helping Obsidian, but she has a good and very important reason.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: Well, I'm glad she does, but does she understand that what she's doing in the meantime is actually bad? Because that's the reason I was annoyed

(PHONE) Bow texts: She does. And she knows that Riventon is working against Beryl.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: Okay. Then I'm cool with her. I mean, if that's why you texted me about it. XD

(PHONE) Bow texts: Uh. Well. That's part of the reason. The other is the reason she is. So. I told you about the runestones on Etheria, right?

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: Yeah, you did! Where the magic comes from, connected to different people..?

(PHONE) Bow texts: Yeah. So Glimmer's stone, the Moonstone? It's the size of a large boulder, right? And it's... well.

(PHONE) Bow texts: It's in the middle of Riventon's office.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: *snort*

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: that's pretty funny tbh

(PHONE) Bow texts: It is. But without that runestone, Glimmer would probably die.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: but no i get it, i couldn't leave because my shitennou were hostages and it was my fault they were there. then the decision was made for me and we spent the week after i was purified getting them out

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: the thing is

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i never pretended what i was doing was okay, and i never made excuses that it wasn't that bad or that i wasn't doing harm

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: that's why i was annoyed

(PHONE) Bow texts: Yeah. No. I get that. I gave her an earful on that.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: Good!

(PHONE) Bow texts: But I need to figure out how to get the runestone out of there. And she made me promise I wouldn't do something stupid.

(PHONE) Bow texts: But she didn't say I couldn't get someone else to do something stupid.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: Can't she teleport it?

(PHONE) Bow texts: She tried. When she first got here - it was in the Dusk Zone. When she teleported it from there, it ended up in Riventon's office and it hasn't moved since.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: Right but there's nothing I know of in riventon's office that should keep her from teleporting it out of *there*

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: pretty impressive she teleported it out of the dusk zone

(PHONE) Bow texts: But the thing is. When Scorpia showed up at Prom? She had her runestone with her. And the Black Garnet I remember? Was as big as the moonstone. So I need to ask Scorpia how she shrunk it. But yeah. And I doubt Riventon will tell you if there was.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: he would have had to have installed it after december

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: which is the last time i teleported out of his office

(PHONE) Bow texts: And that's Glimmer's whole bit.

(PHONE) Bow texts: Anyway. I'm going to see if I can get her to meet with us somewhere and maybe we can figure out something? I dunno. I don't like her being there, Mamoru. She's my Queen.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: it is a vast mystery.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: *sigh*

(PHONE) Bow texts: And my best friend.

(PHONE) Bow texts: I can't leave her there. Even if she doesn't realize it.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: of course she realizes it. that's probably why she didnt tell you.

(PHONE) Bow texts: Fair.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i'm out of the habit of doing stupid things ever since i stopped carrying all that dark energy. and i'm STILL trying to figure out how to get the indigo crystal from riventon. it's probably in his desk drawer. they can't be put in dimensional pockets or anything.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: he denies up and down that he has it but that's such bullshit.

(PHONE) Bow texts: Too bad I can't ask Glimmer to steal it and bring it to us. He only needs one, after all.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: he needed one to give to beryl, but he's keeping one himself, i know he is. that's what he *does*.

(PHONE) Bow texts: Ugh.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: he's my brother but BOY is he annoying

(PHONE) Bow texts: That may be why Glimmer can't move the moonstone. Because he's done something to keep it there. I mean, it sounds like something he'd do.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: maybe she just needs to get so much glitter on him that he lets it go.

(PHONE) Bow texts: *snort* Do you realize how much glitter she puts out??? I think I still have some on me from Etheria!

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: lololol

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: don't let her use dark energy. that's the biggest issue.

(PHONE) Bow texts: Anyway. I know usagi was pissed. And I'm going to make sure she apologizes to her. Queen to Princess. Because that's proper.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: you can't make youmas without dark energy and youmas can be really funny, and so it might be tempting for her to mess with dark energy? just don't let her.

(PHONE) Bow texts: I'll make sure to reiterate it to her.

(PHONE) Bow texts: But she likes doing stuff you tell her not to do.

(PHONE) Bow texts: A *lot* of princesses seem to be like that.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: So are princes. I feel a little bad for eating Kazuo's ice cream while he was in your net, but only a little bad >_>

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: I'm only "your highness" when im in trouble lmao

(PHONE) Bow texts: Five second rule applies.

(PHONE) Bow texts: And I'll remember that, your highness. lolol.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: ROUGH

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: ;___;

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: so mean. LOL

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: anyway you're going to need someone working on the inside to get it out. the ideal situation would be glimmer working *with* you to get it out

(PHONE) Bow texts: Awww. You're my friend. I'll make it up to you later! And yeah. I'm hoping she'll listen to me, since she's telling me that in her future, I'm her Champion and advisor.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: aww, you're her kunzite! but probably without the dating!

(PHONE) Bow texts: She's my best friend, I never considered dating!

(PHONE) Bow texts: So... who are you not dating in the shittenou?

(PHONE) Bow texts: That seems to be an easier question than who you are, lol.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: nephrite and zoisite!

(PHONE) Bow texts: Should I be wishing you luck in your future conquests? :D

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i'm definitely dating kunzite, and jadeite and i are figuring things out with lots of input from kazuo and usako XD

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: oh god

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i'm pretty sure nephrite is straight and i'm pretty sure zoi likes kazuo, not me

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: both of these things are fine XD

(PHONE) Bow texts: ...that would be a weird twists on things.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: they were very close in the last lifetime. there's lots of figuring life out in this lifetime :)

(PHONE) Bow texts: Yep. And plenty of time to do it. For now, we have plenty to do and I'm glad you're my friend. Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: I wish I were a better friend, but I'll do my best to help

(PHONE) Bow texts: Awww, Mamoru. You're a great friend and I love you for it. And it you were here, you'd get such a hug.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: Save it for me for next time! :D
