| Cast of Characters: | Minako Aino, Norie Okana |
<PHONE> You call Minako Aino: *Venus's phone gets a call from Lacrima's personal phone number, ring ring ring.*
<PHONE> A call from Minako Aino: Well. This is a fine howdy doody time! I see you are calling me instead of trying to construct the paper mache ball of death to lure me in for a discussion. Or did you run out of ideas. I suggest macrame spheres next. So what do you want.
<PHONE> You text Lacrima: Nrg. Look. I'm wondering if you heard anything new about Ryo... and... I have a favor to ask. Which one do you want me to start with. I know I don't deserve a favor but.. look. Just... nrg.
<PHONE> A text from Minako Aino at Wed Oct 31 00:06:54 2018: I've learned he's a real jerk and a womanizer, but I think you already knew that. I'm still trying to get close enough to him.
<PHONE> A call from Minako Aino: As for the favor... look. You helped Mamoru-kun recently right? So let's hear the favor then I'll decide, okay?~
<PHONE> You call Minako Aino: ...Okay. As for. The favor...
<PHONE> You call Minako Aino: There is this girl named Akari Hayabusa. She has an alternate name of 'Nightbell'. She's currently an UMBRA asset. She wants out of Eclipse. I'm willing to let her go from UMBRA. If it was up to me. She'd be let go. No issues. But... my bosses-- that is. Eclipse. Not. Riven-sama....
<PHONE> You call Minako Aino: Want her taken back and and have this reprogrammed out of her. Effectively.. brainwash. They've put me in charge of bringing her back. I don't want to do this, but I need to make honest attempts. So I'm looking for people to... thwart me. Stop me. Not. Fake fights. Beat me up. If that makes sense.
<PHONE> A call from Minako Aino: Okay. Before I reply I have a question for you, vampy vamp-chan.
<PHONE> A call from Minako Aino: Why do you stay with UMBRA and Eclipse anyways with garbage like this? Why not just save her yourself and leave them in the dirt.
<PHONE> You call Minako Aino: *Lacrima takes a deep breath.* Look. I owe Riven-sama for giving me the start of a life back. I do admit, that he's crossed more than a few lines recently. I will also admit I also almost did leave during the whole... Mamoru mess recently. As for Eclipse. A side effect of being with UMBRA. But they also help me when I need it. Give something like me safety.
<PHONE> A call from Minako Aino: I see. So basically just to be clear. You're asking me to beat the tar out of you? That's the favor you're asking? How is this even helping you? I mean if you want me to beat you up I can come on over right now!~
<PHONE> You call Minako Aino: ...Don't be dumb- but at it's base, yes. I'm asking you to be there to pound me to help save this person from being brainwashed in a way that doesn't make my higher ups unhappy. It's one thing to disobey. it's another to be thwarted by superior firepower. Understand....?
<PHONE> A call from Minako Aino: Okay. Can you give me this person's details? I wanna pay them a visit if possible, soon. Do they know what's up? I can tell them.
<PHONE> You call Minako Aino: ...Actually that would be helpful. Give them a headstart- right.... I have an intelligent device now. His name is Paige. I have a barrier jacket I can use now instead of my dark power set... that form's name is 'Masquerade'. I.. I'm trying to not keep it a secret from friendly forces.
<PHONE> A call from Minako Aino: I heard about that that. I also heard you saved Sailor Mars. That's appreciated. ..... so you can fight without dark energy now? Is what you're saying? Like what Riventon used to do with his Iceni disguise?
<PHONE> You call Minako Aino: Basically, yeah. The emissions from Paige aren't dark energy. I'm still not proficient with using a device- but it's nice to have something to fight that isn't horribly toxic to everyone around me.
<PHONE> A call from Minako Aino: ....huh~.
<PHONE> A call from Minako Aino: Look... vampchan.
<PHONE> A call from Minako Aino: When you're ready to ditch the jerks you work for, you let someone know in secret. Doesn't need to be me, but if you need help getting out... I know there's folks that'll help you. Let Kunzite know. I know he'll get in touch with people if you don't feel comfortable letting someone like me know.
<PHONE> You call Minako Aino: I know that already... but I can't leave. If Riven-sama ditches then I'll go with him for sure. But I think that's unlikely.
<PHONE> You call Minako Aino: I think that's all I had to ask and talk about... Um I'll let you back to. Doing whatever it is you do. I suppose...
<PHONE> A call from Minako Aino: Good luck, Puncha later!
