Usagi Tsukino has posed:
    Usagi Tsukino texts: you know our lives would be so much easier if you had one brother
    Usagi Tsukino texts: takashi is so much nicer than riventon! less crazy! lets maniacal madman!
    Usagi Tsukino texts: also he doesn't try to mug us for every possible object he sees

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
Mamoru flops down backwards on his bed with his phone, glasses going askew until he mashes them back into place with the back of his wrist. Why. Why why why.

    Mamoru TXT: the dark energy is *so bad for him*
    Mamoru TXT: but he was born with it
    Mamoru TXT: what did he try to steal now?

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
    Usagi Tsukino texts: its bad for everybody!!!
    Usagi Tsukino texts: but i get it i mean he cant lose it i didn't like partially disintegrating him but self purifying hurt so
    Usagi Tsukino texts: another one of those boxes. after this one there should just be one more

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
    Mamoru TXT: oh man. you needed to get purified???
    Mamoru TXT: wtf. i mean he tried to shoot me but like
    Mamoru TXT: it wasnt a nothing attack
    Mamoru TXT: but it was kind of a nothing attack
    Mamoru TXT: i mean over one of the boxes. the second one
    Mamoru TXT: im sorry hes such an asshole

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
    Usagi Tsukino texts: i don't think he meant to do it
    Usagi Tsukino texts: or maybe he did he was kind of being an asshole
    Usagi Tsukino texts: but i ended up purifying myself when i escalated him and that sucked, sorry we did that to you so
    Usagi Tsukino texts: i mean not thet sorry because you're doing a lot better without it but i think im allergic to it too

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
    Mamoru TXT: i think purification hurts everybody
    Mamoru TXT: i can make it hurt less though
    Mamoru TXT: so if you ever get the chance to purify Riv-kun when im there...
    Mamoru TXT: well it worked for jadeite :V

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
    Usagi Tsukino texts: we'll make it SO soothing and he definitely wont try to kill us
    Usagi Tsukino texts: but yeah he was all I'LL MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS
    Usagi Tsukino texts: and i was all waaaaah because i was tired!!!
    Usagi Tsukino texts: and then his little robot teleported him out and glimmer gave us gift cards because she thinks pokemon is real life

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
    Mamoru TXT: im glad the robot is still working he hasnt broken it
    Mamoru TXT: or at least not beyond repair
    Mamoru TXT: hotaru and i made it for him because hes dumb abt running
    Mamoru TXT: the challenge will be keeping him off dark energy after
    Mamoru TXT: with his bare hands huh
    Mamoru TXT: should i tell him to keep his hands off my girlfriend

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
    Usagi Tsukino texts: no wonder it works then
    Usagi Tsukino texts: maybe because its from you guys he hasn't broken it?
    Usagi Tsukino texts: some tiny spark of sanity that knows you only want whats best for him and also won't Get Him

Laying out on her bed, Usagi snorts at the thought, then guiltily looks around for Chibiusa and Naru. Neither of them seems to have woken - Luna bats at her with a paw, but it's idle and sleepy, so she carries on with her typing.

    Usagi Tsukino texts: honestly i sometimes wonder if he remembers im a girl at all and not just a sparkly killer of his thief dreams

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
    Mamoru TXT: well i did wing a not-even-mid smoking bomber at him but yeah
    Mamoru TXT: neither of us would Get Him
    Mamoru TXT: thats nice to think of thank you
    Mamoru TXT: if youre wondering that, hes probs at intervention stage :T what do

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
    Usagi Tsukino texts: remind him that we need him to be normal enough to get an invite to our wedding?
    Usagi Tsukino texts: i mean obviously you care about him for more than that but idk
    Usagi Tsukino texts: maybe he's just pissy he's lost the boxes four times?
    Usagi Tsukino texts: how did he react when he lost when you guys were kids? good loser? Sore loser? Flip the game board loser?

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
    Mamoru TXT: good call i'll remind him. it might be silly enough to get through
    Mamoru TXT: he was gracious about losing until he knew the rules well enough to be able to win
    Mamoru TXT: if he lost after that he'd get pissy. or games of chance. so sore such lose
    Mamoru TXT: you know what
    Mamoru TXT: he doesnt know sailor moon is my fiancee. just usagi tsukino. so i cant say that about the wedding

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
    Usagi Tsukino texts: how bad do you think it would be if he found out
    Usagi Tsukino texts: like kidnapping bad do you think or
    Usagi Tsukino texts: somehow i'm not surprised that he'd be pissy if he thought he knew the rules well enough or if it was left to chance

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
    Mamoru TXT: he doesn't kidnap
    Mamoru TXT: let's set a date so we can send him a save the date card
    Mamoru TXT: and then we can sign it sailor moon and tuxedo mask
    Mamoru TXT: that was the least possible romantic way to suggest we could set a date

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
    Usagi Tsukino texts: hahahfhasahshahsaha

It takes several long moments before Usagi texts anything else, though there are a few shaky mistexts of her laughing.

    Usagi Tsukino texts: i finally stopped laughing. that was amazing. i would love to set a date. how old do you want to be when we get married
    Usagi Tsukino texts: also maybe your stupid jerk brother will chill out by then

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
    Mamoru TXT: ... :D
    Mamoru TXT: idk, let's wait until you're 20?
    Mamoru TXT: to please your parents
    Mamoru TXT: i really hope he does. :<

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
    Usagi Tsukino texts: Mama and Papa probably *would* prefer for me to graduate high school for a while first
    Usagi Tsukino texts: they hate love and all
    Usagi Tsukino texts:jkjk
    Usagi Tsukino texts: until i'm 20. okay! that gives us five years to plan a dream wedding!
    Usagi Tsukino texts: and in more serious terms i do genuinely hope he chills
    Usagi Tsukino texts: not just for the sake of marital peace but also because i love you and want you to be happy and stuff
    Usagi Tsukino texts: and your jerk brother who's like loopier than a water slide makes you happy

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
    Mamoru TXT: well 'happy' is a relative term but yeah i love him, that asshole
    Mamoru TXT: also let's have it some time between your birthday and mine
    Mamoru TXT: so it looks like we're a year apart haha
    Mamoru TXT: what kind of wedding do you want? traditional or western or something wild

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
    Usagi Tsukino texts: something wild maybe
    Usagi Tsukino texts: everyone should get to be very pretty
    Usagi Tsukino texts: but i kind of like the idea of a color scheme that we coordinated on
    Usagi Tsukino texts: also also maybe this is crazy but i kind of want two of them?

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
    Mamoru TXT: we could have one every year but people might get cranky about gifts
    Mamoru TXT: lol do you want us both wearing white

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
    Usagi Tsukino texts: hahaha we totally could and that would be fun but all our friends would get mad at us.
    Usagi Tsukino texts: i dont know if i want to have a wedding on the moon or if i just think i do but we have five years to figure it out! sometime between april and july. that's a good time for a wedding!

    Usagi Tsukino texts: now now mamochan i dont think we should lie on our wedding day
    Usagi Tsukino texts: ;)

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
    Mamoru TXT: Ara ara~!
    Mamoru TXT: but i see what you mean. okay then color-coord for earth wedding, all white for moon wedding?
    Mamoru TXT: one of the things on the list to think about!
    Mamoru TXT: anyway how about... june 30th 2029?
    Mamoru TXT: i... maybe we should have the moon wedding next year

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
    Usagi Tsukino texts: color coord for the earth wedding, all white (and gold maybe?) for the moon wedding!
    Usagi Tsukino texts: why next year?
    Usagi Tsukino texts: are we worried about something happening next year
    Usagi Tsukino texts: is something happening next year?!
    Usagi Tsukino texts: is climate change supposed to blow up the moon wait why would it do that
    Usagi Tsukino texts: wait a minute

A moment of silence.
    Usagi Tsukino texts: you're worried about the Fade hitting?

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
There's no sign of typing for a moment. Maybe thirty seconds.

    Mamoru TXT: yeah

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
    Usagi Tsukino texts: we really need to figure out a way to fix that.
    Usagi Tsukino texts: it can't be anything my mama would have wanted. it's got to be *something* we can fix.

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
It takes longer than it should for him to type.

    Mamoru TXT: i mean, i vaguely believe that it can be fixed. i don't think your mama did it on purpose. but at the same time, theres no time to do anything. everything is exploding all of the time. i'm sure it'll get fixed. i just dont know if itll be soon enough for me and the guys.
    Mamoru TXT: sorry to kill the mood :V
    Mamoru TXT: with his bare hands, huh. thats why im saying i want to tell him to keep his bare hands off my fiancee!! hahaha. idk. you know what? i'll ask him if hes willing to trade secret IDs with sailor moon.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
    Usagi Tsukino texts: we can do anything we set our minds to. and i dont just mean in the usual optimism way i mean
    Usagi Tsukino texts: between you and me we're so strong. add in our guardians and we're super strong.
    Usagi Tsukino texts: add in madoka-chan who's a literal goddess now sometimes and coco-chan's a mermaid and wako-chan's grandma knows all about this stuff.
    Usagi Tsukino texts: there is a way out. and i mean. push comes to shove high school is optional.

Her parents would kill her, at least a little, but she'd take a year off of high school to focus on figuring this out. she'd take a lot of years off, if she had too.

    Usagi Tsukino texts: you didn't kill the mood.
    Usagi Tsukino texts: but your brother sure TRIED too
    Usagi Tsukino texts: if he's not gonna like go after my family then im okay with an id swap.

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
It's a long moment, and then--

    Mamoru TXT: do you wanna come over

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
    Usagi Tsukino texts: Let me leave a note with Luna. Wanna send Anko over to watch the kid with her?

Mamoru Chiba has posed:
    Mamoru TXT: will do. shes eating so she'll be a minute
    Mamoru TXT: i love you. balcony off the closet's unlocked

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
    Usagi Tsukino texts: no worries, i'll leave the window unlocked.
    Usagi Tsukino texts: i love you too <3 be there in like, 12?
