Power's Out

The prelude to D-Point: Kunzite's lost his tenuous clarity, and everyone knows what's coming next. That doesn't make it easier... but what comes after the battle and before D-Point itself does, for some.

Title	Date	Scene Summary
Roll Away Your Stone	February 19th, 2016	Wherein Nephrite and Kunzite win a Silver Crystal key fragment, Makoto reveals her identity, Kunzite remembers, Rei punches him, and Usagi purifies Nephrite. Also, treehouses. Busy day.
I'll Know My Name When It's Called Again	February 20th, 2016	Endymion pulls one more piece into place as the fight against the Dark Kingdom nears its endgame. Mostly this involves navigating a maze of spiky insecurities and uncomfortable perceptions, but some of it is just a little more coming home.
Priorities	February 20th, 2016	Still temporarily sane, Kunzite asks for a conference with Sailor Venus, Endymion, and Sailor Moon, in order to figure out what they're doing with (a) the Silver Crystal (b) the fact that he's about to turn into one of Beryl's weapons again and (c) Melanite having kidnapped Naru. Nobody else knew about Naru. Moon did not know about Naru. Moon DOES NOT TAKE THIS WELL.
Call Off Your Artemis!	February 20th, 2016	Following 'Priorities', Sailor Venus and Kunzite go to acquire the last piece of the key to the Silver Crystal while Kunzite is still momentarily sane. The guardian of the place is a caracal the size of a Clydesdale. There is absolutely no doubt that it is, in all ways, a cat. (They get the piece.)
Ex Astris Scientia	February 22nd, 2016	Mamoru comes to find Nephrite after the events of the weekend. There is Bro Time, which involves awkwardness and coffee and crying and hugging and strategy and astrology. Shut up it's amazing.
Naru Escape	February 24th, 2016	Naru is rescued from the Dark Kingdom! So is ... Kyra? Several people's Clever Schemes collide head-on; most of them go off in one way or another. Unfortunately, that many explosions in one place is an excellent way to get Beryl's attention...
How This Grace Thing Works	February 24th, 2016	After Zoisite's Escalation, Nephrite sweeps him and Mamoru off to safety. Where the three of them have a moment to recover, and to try to remember parts of their old equilibrium, and to start trying to find a new one that might be more stable than the old. Also to cheerfully be jerks at each other, because how else do you do that anyway? Also, there are shoes.
I Have Seen the Same	February 28th, 2016	CONTENT WARNING: Kunzite is made of corruption and wasps. SUMMARY: Nephrite goes to find Mamoru, since he hasn't seen him and he's been acting super skittish and kind of weird. He finds him doing something commendably devoted and apparently hideously dangerous, and calls him out on it. Turns out it's way more unpleasant than he thought, but, uh, still commendably devoted? Then they have more bonding time. (lol i sux @ sumarys pls r&r!)
Trust	March 4th, 2016	Wherein Minako and Mamoru talk about Dark Kingdom endgame, sad Senshi, doomed Kunzite, strategy, loose cannons, and incidentally, unintended potty jokes. There is a lot of dialogue. It gets stabby at the end. Readers under five feet tall may wish to bring floatation devices.
Communication	March 5th, 2016	To her dismay, Ami discovers at least three different things that Makoto didn't know about, and Mako shares one she knew that Ami didn't.
Collect Your Courage	March 6th, 2016	Kyouko's told the plan is to kill Kunzite -- and that it's okay to call him brother. Pre-scene to Power's Out.
Power's Out	March 6th, 2016	The Dark Kingdom has a use for Tokyo. As a battery. Possibly also as a glacier. Kunzite has a plan to wake Metalia by harvesting the city. Tuxedo Kamen and the Senshi have a competing plan to try to rescue Kunzite. Everyone's plan involves killing somebody. It's just a question of who gets there first...
For Differing Values of Love	March 6th, 2016	Kyouko and Sayaka talk about the whole Kunzite/Beryl situation, about family, and about what it means to love.
Cheating	March 6th, 2016	Nephrite, Jadeite, and Mamoru make fun of a rock. Then the rock speaks up. Happens after 'When The City Clears'
When The City Clears	March 6th, 2016	Several Senshi and Shitennou take a moment of downtime after the fight against Kunzite. This involves amusement, morbid topics, reunions, a little brokenness, a little sake, and a reminder that things not only will get better, but are already beginning to.
Icebreaking	March 6th, 2016	Naru is caught in Kunzite's attack, but there's already been an unlikely guardian detailed to watch her. Zoisite steals her away to relative safety for a second time, and distracts her from the disaster for a little while by telling her a fairy tale about a certain Prince and a certain Princess. (Takes place parallel to Power's Out and sequelae, just before Anchors Away!)
Cuddly Bunny Piles	March 6th, 2016	Follows 'When The City Clears': Usagi finds Makoto where she'd gone off to lie down. The two of them try to get some rest - but first they talk about the battle to come, the struggles they've already overcome, and boys.
Of Mirrors and Hopes	March 6th, 2016	Ayana returns home after the events of the cutscene 'Mirrors'. The sorrowful kitsune seeks snacks and comfort, both of which Ikiko is glad to provide.
Anchors Away!	March 6th, 2016	Something Sailor Moon has always known is that one must NEVER underestimate the quality of a good anchor. Another thing she's always known is that Naru is hers.
