---

Yuuki Oshiro has posed:
Its been almost a week since the effects of the Heart's Desire Logia enacted its will on Yuuki Oshiro. The young girl has been very quiet all week. Its been a real rough thing for her. She has returned to school and has actively been trying to catch up since her absence.

Now, She is sitting at the harbor on one of the docks. She is quietly tossing stones into the water. The bracelet on her wrist just softly pulses with magic but that is easily overlooked.

The girl cries out over, "Its not fair! Why? Why can't I have my family! I just wanted it to be real. Is that too much to ask!?"

< You know why it is not possible sister. It wasn't real. Nothing was real. That thing would have killed you. You need to let it go now. > The voice is soft, and the words in English or what seems like English. Some of the words sound really funny like they don't exist. It is quiet and where did it come from?

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Usagi's enjoying her last day of School Sabatical. Well, sort of. Papa had brought home the schoolwork she'd missed and she spent the day trying (and not really failing too badly!) at playing catchup.

It helped, sorta, that she did it at the kitchen table with her mother there to help where she could.

Now, homework done, she and Luna are walking along the harbor. It's a good place to catch Magikarp in Pokemon Go, and she's getting close to her second Gyrados! (They are so cute with their grumpy faces all 'roar!')

Luna, who had been enjoying the scent of freshly caught fish from her perch on Usagi's shoulder and had been a very good kitty, licks her lips after she convinces Usagi to stand in line here to buy her a small fish. After it's purchased, the duo go to find a spot so the cat can eat and eat and eat.

Of course, they both hear the two voices. And Usagi recognizes that second voice, or at least the speach patterns. She'd gone out with Hannah earlier that week, after all.

Luna hops off her shoulder and stalks toward the small crying girl before batting a paw at the bracelet.

Usagi herself just plops down next to her without so much as a 'how do you do.'

"Ahhh, but it's hard to let things go. And if you bottle everything up, you can get ulcers! Or heart burn."

Yuuki Oshiro has posed:
Yuuki Oshiro blinks! She jumps a little as she looks at Usagi and the cat beside her. She didn't expect to have company. Most people would just ignore her after all. She looks at the bracelet on her wrist. a simple thing of twine with a yellow star shaped stone on it. < Shoot! Shining Star, Switch to talking to minds and stuff. We don't really want to draw too much attention. >

She looks to Usagi and it clicks a little who she is. No. Not Sailor Moon. She doesn't know about that. No. Usagi Tsukino, One of her seniors from Middle School. She frowns, "OH umm hi, Usagi-Sempai. How do I do? I don't right now. I'm really hurt." She sighs a little.

She looks down and frowns. "Gomen. I didn't mean to bother you or frighten your kitty cat. Its been a really long week." She was out of school for a week with no warning, no proper excuse save for the one Nanoha made up for her. Her mother still thinks she had a Psychotic break. Quietly she looks out across the water. "Things are not good."

She frowns a little. Part of her wants to explain what all happened to her but she can't. Its not possible. Not with outting herself as a mage and that isn't exactly a good thing. So She just keeps things really quiet.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Usagi blinks. What? She's known? She's a sempai?

Then it clicks. Realization and recognition! More a passing face until now, but she's sure she's waved at the girl before! And because she's waved, she knows names! "Yuuki-chan, right?"

Luna pounces the girl's wrist, biting down with light kitty teeth on the jewel on the bracelet.

"Luna, don't go eating jewelery!"

Luna turns to look at her, tail fwipping, careful not to speak.

Usagi sighs and leans back. "Yeah, this week's been not very good." That's not completely true. Hannah had taken her to a club Monday night and Mamoru had stolen her away for an all day date Tuesday. Good feelings overwhelmed the bad, but that didn't mean they weren't there.

"So what happened?"

Yuuki Oshiro has posed:
Yuuki Oshiro nods slowly, "Yes. I'm Yuuki Oshiro. I'm in Elementry school. You have a reputation for umm... your grades." She winces and blushes. "Its okay. I don't believe it all." The young red haired girl just smiles a little.

Then suddenly she has a kitty on her and kitty is nibbling at... Oh no! "No no! Please. Don't chew on that kitty cat. That is umm... Thats really important to me. That belonged to my daddy. Its one of the few things I have to remember him."

She listens to her quietly before she speaks up, "Yes this week has been really rough. Last week was worse though. Things went really bad." She frowns and throws a rock into the ocean. "Its really hard to explain." She sighs.

She goes quiet for a long few moments. "What do you think of magic and stuff? Is it real? You know? Stuff like that Sailor V game? People who fight nasty stuff to protect others who never know about it?" She asks curiously.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Usagi blushes! "Still?! But...! I've been doing so much better! I haven't failed a single class this term!"

Droop!

Luna jerks away and sits a bit away from Yuuki, head drooping a little in contrition, but then she looks at Yuuki like she knows everything. It's almost an impossible look for even the smartest of cats.

"I'm sorry about Luna. She didn't mean any harm!"

And then! Suddenly nervous, Usagi pulls out her world class lying skills. "Magic? Sailor V? Real?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA what? Fighting nasty stuff? Pff pff pff! I'm just a normal girl! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Usagi..." Luna sighs and droops her head, looking for all the world like she wants to facepaw.

Yuuki Oshiro has posed:
Yuuki Oshiro blinks a few times. "Like I said, I don't believe a lot of it. I'm still new to Tokyo. I grew up in Okinawa." She frowns a little and just looks off into the distance again.

As she speaks of magic and such. She blinks a few times as she looks at the kitty. She cants her head curiously. How would a kitty make that look? It is curious. Then Usagi's voice rings out, "Oh um. Its okay. Its not like its easily broken."

Then Usagi begins laughing and carrying on like a lunatic. Trying to convince her that Magic isn't real. She blinks a few times. If thats not enough she hears another voice. She blinks. Her attention goes to the cat and things begin making sense.

Quietly Yuuki looks around. On the up side, its only Usagi, Luna and Yuuki on the dock at the moment. On the down side, that can change quickly. "You're lying." She states smoothly to Usagi. "You don't need to tell me who you are and stuff. Just tell me, are you good or bad?"

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Still, she droops. WHat does she have to do, ace all her classes?

Yeah, and Ami or Mamoru would be happy with a B in class.

Luna just blinks at Yuuki, gaze intense. Unnerving kitty is unnerving.

Usagi sighs and leans back a little. "I like to think I'm good. I fight for what I think is right, though."

She tilts her head and looks at Yuuki. "What about you?"

It's not that her secret is much of a secret among magical people. She just wants to make sure she isn't outing herself to another Takashi.

Yuuki Oshiro has posed:
Yuuki Oshiro looks around again. A few joggers are coming. She sighs. "Magical! Radiant... BARRIER!"The younger girl focuses as a midchildan circle forms underneath her. Quickly, the world around them both becomes more greyed out as they are quickly concealed from the view of the general public. The magical barrier is not huge. She doesn't exactly have the skill of Yuuno when it comes to making barriers but its good enough to keep them free to talk.

"Okay. Umm. I think I'm good. I mean I don't want to hurt anyone. I'm a Mage. Do you know what its like to not be able to talk about the things bothering you?" She sighs. "The things that have hurt you that you can't speak of because no one will believe you?"

She sighs softly. This thing. I found it and I thought it was valuable. I wanted to take it to the police. So they could find it's owner. The next morning, My daddy was alive. It was like a dream. My daddy died a few years ago. I would have given anything for one more day with him. He told me that this past year was a bad dream. I believed it. I wanted it to be real more then anything."

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Usagi blinks at Yuuki. Does she know what it's like?

Hah. Of course she does. "Yes. I killed my boyfriend last year. Well, not really, but that doesn't mean it didn't feel real. Doesn't still. So yeah. My parents thought...well, I never really knew just how supportive they were until they tried to help the best the could when they didn't know what was wrong."

And then her eyes are sad for Yuuki and her heart clenches. She knows how important good Papas are. "I...that sounds horrible. But..." She chews her lip. "In a way, even if it wasn't real, you got your wish. As much as it hurts now, it's okay to think of those moments as real, even if they didn't happen. Because to you, they did."

Yuuki Oshiro has posed:
Yuuki Oshiro frowns, "It wasn't. It was an illusion. I didn't eat for a week. I thought I was. But it was the magic of this thing. It was all an illusion. I wasn't in school either for that week. I didn't know what was real and what wasn't. I couldn't even hear Shining Star." She holds up her wrist and the bracelet on it.

< Greetings, Tsukino-san. A pleasure to meet you. > The device speaks again. Again in what sounds like English.

"Anyway my friends managed to break me free from that thing's hold. It vanished and the illusion with it. It would have killed me. I want to find it and destroy it. But...Its concealed itself."

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Ahhhh. There we go. Usagi sighs and leans forward a bit. "That wasn't very nice of the thing."

Usagi blinks at the voice. "I'm sorry, I don't...I'm not good at English. Um...'Good meet to you.'" Her brows furrow in confusion. Did she say that right? Did she even hear that right?

Luna steps forward a bit. "Who was it that did it?"

Usagi's cheeks turn pink. "Luna..."

The cat turns that intense gaze toward Usagi, but the blonde girl is mostly immune. "If this is something that could put Sailor Moon in danger..."

Usagi huffs and rolls her eyes. "This isn't about me, Luna, it's about Yuuki-chan."

Yuuki Oshiro has posed:
Yuuki Oshiro shakes her head. "This is a danger to everyone until it's found and given to the right hands." She frowns. "This thing. Its a Lost Logia. An item of great power from Ancient Bilkan times. Shining Star picked up on it but we thought it was just passing through this time and dimension. It disappeared from notice." She sighs and shakes her head.

"It was a gold necklace. With a ruby red heart pendant. It was drawing off my magic. I didn't know. It isolated me. It blocked me from everything and I didn't realize just how bad it was until it was gone." She frowns. "It vanished once the illusion was broken. I don't know where it's gone."

< Very Good. I do not speak Japanese. My Meister did not program that language into me. >

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Luna scratches her chin in thought. It looks more like she's trying to groom herself, though. She makes a mental note to add this description to the List of Things To Look After. "If we see anything like that, we'll let you know."

Usagi just blinks again. "I don't know half of what you just said, I'm sorry, Star-san."

Usagi pulls off her compaq and looks at it. "It probably won't get easier. Well, compared to that it may. But..."

She sighs. "This life is hard, you know. No matter how much you just wanna curl up in your bed and pretend everything is normal, it won't happen."

She flops on her back, and when she lands, she's not Usagi anymore. Well, okay, she is, but she's also Sailor Moon. "You're going to be okay. Even if it doesn't feel like you will be."

Yuuki Oshiro has posed:
Yuuki Oshiro blinks, "Wait what?!" She blinks a few times. Luna just mentioned Sailor Moon but she didn't expect Usagi to actually be her. She blinks a few times. "Wow. Umm. You look amazing!" She smiles a little. "OH umm. She said, you did very well and she doesn't speak Japanese. Her creator, my father, didn't program Japanese into her."

Then the lecture begins taking a whole different perspective. Before it was Usagi trying to comfort her. Now its Sailor Moon! That does affect her more. She frowns a little. "It just doesn't feel that way." She sighs and stands up. "One thing is true though. That thing needs stopped. That lost logia. What it did to me, It gave me my heart's desire! What if it does that to someone who is bad?"

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Sailor Moon blushes with a pleased smile. This is to both the compliment and the translation. "Thanks!"

She jumps a little at the thought! "If it didn't keep the bad guy in a coma thingy or what ever you were in that would be scary!" She shivers!

She stands up and brushes off her skirt. "It never feels it will. And it won't go completely away! I still have nightmares!" She shouldn't be smiling so brightly!

Suddenly her eyes glaze over a little as she tilts her head to one side. Her focus very much isn't here right now.

It doesn't take long. Just long enough to send reassuring thoughts along that she's fine, just showing off. Or something.

Then her eyes clear and she's back. "Until then, I find sobbing uncontrolably in phone booths is oddly comforting."

Yuuki Oshiro has posed:
Yuuki Oshiro nods slowly as she listens to to Sailor Moon's words. She frowns a little and then, as Sailor Moon's gaze affects her, She gives a soft but authentic smile. There is a slight problem though. Yuuki is a bit fiery and right now that fire is shining bright. "I can't stay down."

She stands and speaks, "Radiant! Magical! Meteor!" A ball of magic forms in her hand, with the tell tale circle swirling underneath. The ball lifts up and begins flying around her. "We have to find that lost Logia. Its going to hurt more people. If I were stronger, I'd have not fallen for it's trick." She frowns. Its not exactly true. She'd have still fallen for it.

She frowns, "Its my responsibility. I have to get that thing to the right hands. I don't know who they are. Maybe there are some TSAB Agents here on Earth who can take it. Either way. This has to be stopped!" The ball of magic goes flying, slamming a garbage can and sending the thing flying.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Sailor Moon jumps up, energized! "That's right! You can let yourself feel sad sometimes, otherwise ulcers, but yes! Happy! Cheer! Hope! Hold on to these things so tight they'll never leave!"

She jumps at the sound of the ball hitting the garbage can and maybe shrieks just a little!

"Y-you can do it!"

Yuuki Oshiro has posed:
Yuuki Oshiro looks at Sailor Moon and smiles, "Thank you so much. If this thing gets out of control it will get a lot worse before it gets better. Think about someone really evil. And imagine them with even the illusion of their heart's desire! The entire city could wind up in trouble. Maybe even... The whole world!"

She looks down at her bracelet. "Shining Star. Do you think I'm ready?"

< Affirmative, Sister. >

Yuuki smirks, "Good!" She quickly gets ready. "Shining Star... Set Up!" They speak those words in unison as suddenly violet light ignites around Yuuki. Her clothing vanishes. Suddenly her Barrier Jacket forms. Her magical dress of violet, pink, and white. Her bracelet changes turning into a staff with a yellow ball surrounded by a violet star at the end.

The henshin ends and standing there is a proper mage. Yuuki smirks. "So, I guess I need to start hunting!"

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Usagi's default answer to someone 'really evil' is, of course, Beryl. "Oh, she wouldn't have done that. She would have found your heart's desire and broken it right in front of your very eyes!"

There's...a forced cheer there. Maybe a shadow of lingering hate.

Then she shakes her head! "But yeah, that wouldn't be good! Good luck! And if you need help!" She waves. "Hope I helped!"
