(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts:
Txt Wako: WAKO-CHAN FIRE EYES HAS A NAME
Txt Wako: ITS JADIETE
Txt Wako: JADEITE????
Txt Wako: LIKE THE ROCK
TxT Wako: not the beefy american actor one though

TxT Wako: ANYWAY THAT'S NOT THE POINT WAJO HE WANTS TO KILL NARU??? PEOPLE??? BUT ESPECIALLY NARU
TxT Wako: *WAKO

(PHONE) Wako Agemaki texts:
Txt Usagi: what the heck?? Why's he after Naru?
Txt Usagi: what should we do?
Txt Usagi: she needs protection, right?

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts:
TxT Wako: because my mama was wrong and Call of Duty DOES prepare you for the real world
TxT Wako: because he's JUST like all the JERKS I ran into online and he's mad at me for giving him splinters
TxT Wako: and he said he was coming after my friend at the mall and I don't know if he saw the security cameras or talked to anyone
TxT Wako: but he could figure out Naru is my friend!
TxT Wako: and I think he's trying to figure out who we are, and I know you don't hide it very much
TxT Wako: But we should probably consider he's going to do this to everybody who fights him, so if you do have any friends you can't fight back
TxT Wako: stupid jerk rock man is making me stress

(PHONE) Wako Agemaki texts:
(there's a delay before Wako's next message comes through)
Txt Usagi: that's scary.
Txt Usagi: I'll be more careful, but
Txt Usagi: what are you going to tell Naru?

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts:
TxT Wako: I've got to tell her the truth, right?
TxT Wako: I got her in danger.
TxT Wako: By being me.
TxT Wako: And she doesn't know.
TxT Wako: So I have to tell her.

(PHONE) Wako Agemaki texts:
Txt Usagi: yeah
Txt Usagi: it's not your fault but
Txt Usagi: it's more dangerous for her if she doesn't even know she's being targeted
Txt Usagi: she needs to be warned at least
Txt Usagi: so if something happens she can call one of us

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts:
TxT Usagi: I should have told her sooner
Txt Wako: I don't want her to be mad at me!!!
Txt Wako: But this is bad.
TxT Wako: He said he was a general in a dark kingdom! Like out of a video game!
TxT Wako: No one told me there were kingdoms!

(PHONE) Wako Agemaki texts:
Txt Usagi: bad guys really like fancy names, huh
Txt Usagi: what's with that?

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts:
TxT Wako: maybe they have business cards?
TxT Wako: what if the cute boy i like really IS evil
TxT Wako: Wako-chan what if he's EVIL

(PHONE) Wako Agemaki texts:
Txt Usagi: wait who?
Txt Usagi: which cute boy
Txt Usagi: why would he be evil?

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts:
TxT Usagi: his name is hematite
TxT Usagi: ITE
Txt Usagi: i looked it up and thats a rock too

(PHONE) Wako Agemaki texts:
Txt Usagi: Hematite...
Txt Usagi: oh
Txt Usagi: I know who that is
Txt Usagi: at least, I'm pretty sure
(dots cycling for a bit as she types, deletes, retypes)
Txt Usagi: if it's who I think it is
Txt Usagi: he didn't seem evil

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts:
TxT Wako: You met him?
TxT Wako: isn't he great?
TxT Wako: I don't want him to be evil but Jadeite wears a uniform like him
TxT Wako: No cape though. Is he not good enough for a cape?
TxT Wako: he helped me save Naru when we first met.
TxT Wako: He's SO nice

(PHONE) Wako Agemaki texts:
Txt Usagi: he showed up to rescue Riventon
Txt Usagi: did I tell you about Riventon?
Txt Usagi: the guy who keeps stealing energy and mugging people for their magic stuff
Txt Usagi: he's a jerk
Txt Usagi: but Hematite didn't seem like he wanted to fight us
Txt Usagi: and Firefly-chan is his kouhai and she's really really bad at being a bad guy too

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts:
TxT Wako: Riventon sounds like a name for a jerk
TxT Wako: sorry that was mean
TxT Wako: wait did he try to steal YOUR stuff?
TxT Wako: I take back my sorry if he did!
TxT Wako: Hematite is really nice. And I like him.
TxT Wako: But if he works with Jadeite...
TxT Wako: ugh why is all this so complicated?
TxT Wako: ...He has a kohai?

(PHONE) Wako Agemaki texts:
Txt Usagi: he really wanted Wawna
Txt Usagi: Riventon I mean
Txt Usagi: which is dumb since I couldn't give him my emblem even if I wanted to
Txt Usagi: not important!
Txt Usagi: Firefly-chan was with Riventon the first time I ran into him
Txt Usagi: she tries really hard but she's so bad at being a bad guy it's cute
Txt Usagi: she mentioned Hematite-senpai once

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts:
TxT Wako: Definitely not sorry then.
TxT Wako: I wonder why she wants to be a bad guy
TxT Wako: Maybe she'd be better at being like us.
TxT Wako: Hematite told me not to trust him.
TxT Wako: and I ignored him, because that's stupid.
TxT Wako: But maybe it's not.

(PHONE) Wako Agemaki texts:
Txt Usagi: it seems like she has complicated circumstances
Txt Usagi: but she probably also needs people to talk to who aren't bad influences
Txt Usagi: maybe keep an eye out for her?
Txt Usagi: she's cute and she carries this big glaive
(a pause)
Txt Usagi: sounds like Hematite has complicated circumstances too
Txt Usagi: but
Txt Usagi: even if they're part of the same organization
Txt Usagi: that doesn't mean they're all equally bad
Txt Usagi: maybe he's worried about putting you in danger from his colleagues?
Txt Usagi: if they're like this Jadeite guy

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts:
TxT Wako: I will.
TxT Wako: I'd rather make friends when I can.
(A pause. Dots start, stop, start again.)
TxT Wako: I don't think he's as bad as Jadeite. He never said he wanted us dead.
TxT Wako: But I think I need to talk to him.
TxT Wako: I just wish he showed up outside of monster fights.
TxT Wako: Why do boys have to be so complicated?

(PHONE) Wako Agemaki texts:
Txt Usagi: I don't know ToT
Txt Usagi: I'll keep an eye out too
Txt Usagi: just in case
Txt Usagi: you can call me if you need any backup, OK?

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts:
TxT Wako: I will.
TxT Wako: And I'll tell you if Naru hates me.

(PHONE) Wako Agemaki texts:
Txt Usagi: She won't hate you
Txt Usagi: but tell me how it goes anyway
