Talk:Kunzite/Plots

Fiore

• Fiore's flowers are rapidly spreading.
• Madoka mentioned that the Infinity Gardening Club is pulling them out, and she is keeping them from trying to Do Things with them. Kunzite is quietly destroying these.
• There are flowers on the ECFH roof. Or there were as of the Tuxedo Nephrite scene. Should probably check and see if getting rid of these is viable (though may be pointless).
• Usagi's house, per channel chatter, is practically covered with these, to the point of having them pop up in the drains.

• Current Mamoru status: The Palaces no longer have the spare energy to protect him. He is out of school for medical reasons (so is Nephrite for some reason, ahem), and not really capable of getting around by himself. Autoimmune symptoms including joint problems and pain on physical contact. Since it's now known that Fiore can teleport into the apartment, current standard procedure is that one of the not-presently-sidelined Shitennou (or Senshi, especially Usa, for obvious reasons) must be in arm's reach of Mamoru at all times.

• Xenstalk status: Xenstalks, enormous structures with multiple Xenian flowers, are now extant in several places around the world. The first appeared on the street by the New Alternate Apartment; said apartment was pretty much totalled in the process. (May 9, log here That original xenstalk no longer exists; after the Tuxedo Nephrite incident, it quite suddenly turned into a very, very impressive oak tree. Lesson: do not tick off Jupiter, there is no safe distance

• Asteroid status: Trajectory, impact, and diversion data has been mathed out and Mercury is in possession of it. Nephrite presumably has SOME information on the asteroid (OOC: waiting to OOCly find out what that might be, ICly we already have it).

• Fiore status: Known to be under the mind control of an evil alien flower. Known to at least sometimes be fighting this, to minimal but occasionally useful effect. As of early morning June 8, known to have roots GROWING INTO HIS BODY. Mercury is looking into whether it is possible to save him without killing him, using blood samples gathered after that incident.

• Current additional threats: Fiore has declared a PERSONAL war on top of the general one, and is explicitly targeting Usagi's friends. Naru and Kyouko, so far (as of morning 6/13).

• OOC Timeline: Plot would like to be complete by end of June if possible.

Makoto and Takashi

• Ami broke up with Takashi. Takashi did not take this well. Information on how Takashi did not take this well went out to Virtue; the Senshi have access to it directly, the Shitennou have access to the information via Mamoru if they want it.

• Things have been suspiciously quiet on that front.

• Until June 10, when Kunzite found out that Takashi (a) is Riventon and (b) does not really care if people know this anymore. By the morning of June 11, Mamoru and Mercury had been told.

• Notable points about that conversation: Takashi knew about Nephrite's injury. So far as Kunzite aware, there were eight potential primary sources for this: Mamoru and the Shitennou, Fiore himself, Naru, and Makoto. Mamoru, Nephrite, and Kunzite had not spoken with anyone outside the apartment. The other Shitennou didn't talk about it when they left. Naru had only found out a few hours ago, and per later conversation with Kunzite, says she had gone home without being accosted. Fiore is not known to be in touch with Riventon; Makoto does not seem likely to talk with him as Riventon or as Takashi. The apartment has regular safeguards and checks against spying. There does not seem to be any possible way for Takashi to know. So somewhere, one of these assumptions must be wrong...

• Makoto, after Nephrite's injury on June 9, is FOR SOME REASON A LITTLE ANGRY. She is not answering comms or going to school. Mercury has encountered her, and did ... not like the experience. Mercury told Mamoru and Kunzite that she was in a "mad rage"; this information is presumably circulating via ECFH.

• On 6/16, Rei encountered Makoto. Makoto was behaving sufficiently unlike herself that Rei smacked her with an ofuda. ... And Makoto started emitting black smoke, henshined, and teleported away. Rei promptly informed the Senshi and Mamoru, who passed the news on to Nephrite and Kunzite.

• Cue Senshi meeting (well, Usa/Rei/Ami meeting), with bonus Nephrite. Rei summed up the meeting. Ami mentioned that she had a camera on RageMako. Tentative plan: find her, Escalate her, if it wasn't Mako, find Mako. Date of problem confirmed for around the previous Thursday or Friday, which is when Neph took off because there was nothing to hit. Senshi went to have Rei do a fire reading (and to put Ami to bed) -- Rei got a vision of Makoto. In the dark. With a familiar lab-coated figure. She and Usa opted to tell Ami in the morning ... just to make sure Ami actually slept.
