Tsukino Usagi: Usagi remained close to her father and refrained from staying anywhere near Graceson, and for that matter didn't even see her eating chocolate. Even during their meal Usagi would ensure that she didn't sit beside her. Meanwhile Serenity took the guard's hand, something which the queen still couldn't believe. To be outside of the lab… Serenity inwardly thought, breathing deeply before their teleportation into the throne room. The queen had been a hologram for roughly over four thousand years, and although she was quite content where she was, Serenity admittedly had forgotten this sort of experience. She had stored teleportation in the back of her memory, believing that it would never become of use again. Once they were within the throne room, Serenity placed both of her folded hands in front of her waistline. "Thank you Vance." Serenity looked towards the guard before she turned to the others. "It's good to see all of you," she said contently until she felt Nomen's touch. (c)
Tsukino Usagi: She would move her own hand in order to place it on his own. "It will take some time to get used to it…but thank you, dear. Power is not a concern to me… Being here with all of you…is more important to me." She would then lean in, whispering in his ear, "However I would have appreciated that you'd left the clothes in a more obvious place." Usagi upon seeing her mother in physical form for the first time since the Silver Millennium was in shock; both of her hands were clasped against her mouth. Usagi hadn't thought much of what Nomen had said about her mother up until now. "Mom..?" She said lowly until she ran up to her mother to hug her, to which Serenity had returned the hug. "Serenity..." The queen looked down at her until they let go. "I thought you weren't being serious, papa." Usagi looked towards him. "Well that's of no surprise…" Serenity laughed lowly (c)
Tsukino Usagi: to Nomen's statement of Graceson and Usagi getting along. "Food…" Of course leave it to me, Usagi inwardly thought, feeling more pressure now that her mother was present. This wasn't just a 'let's have a meal with the biggest pain in the neck' type of thing that she could choose something a little less pricey, but Usagi felt that with her mother there, she couldn't do that. Usagi had every intention beforehand to take Graceson to a place which Usagi believed she wouldn't like. Placing her index finger against her chin, Usagi contemplated on it. "I know of one!" Usagi snapped her finger. "There's a really nice cliffside restaurant in Italy. Why don't we go there? Good food, great view….buffet with all sorts of foods…and we can have our own area!" Usagi said cheerfully, deciding not to get into why she didn't want to work with Graceson to her mom. "Of course I'd attend," Serenity nodded. Serenity might not have liked food all (c)
Tsukino Usagi: that much, but there were some exceptions. Besides, even if she was just there talking with them, Serenity would have enjoyed it. Serenity became perplexed when she noticed the tear that Graceson had shed, something which she had only seen given that she was looking in that general direction. "Admiral, are you alright..? Even without my powers being fully functional… I can still sense that..." She trailed off, tilting her head baffled by her unusual behavior. Serenity was a healer and capable of detecting when something was off about a person quite easily. Perhaps they'd discuss it privately? Meanwhile Calaveras crossed her arms and legs while she remained sitting in her chair, Minako's accusations didn't even faze her slightly. She was still in the form of Mikazuki as she did not believe that it was wise to reveal herself, but Minako would have been able to recognize her based on the similar business attire she wore to her future self. (c)
Tsukino Usagi: "I have no interest in Rubeus… He is my boss and my only comrade." She continued to look at the Venusian harshly. "You senshi are brash…jump to the conclusion without even considering alternative methods in dealing with foes. I wonder if that's how you engaged in battle with Pearl?" It was a simple question, one which with Minako's actions she assumed it was correct. This woman seemed ignorant enough that they were all once under Wiseman's control due to the Black Moon earrings. Her sisters…could have been saved. Calaveras felt that she had adjusted to civilian life quite nicely, having been a model for several centuries before working for Bruce. Her entire clan could have been saved. But Calaveras would not push the matter further, the issue at hand was more important and she wasn't the type of person to live in the past. "Again you're jumping to conclusions as I plan on doing no such thing. Rubeus is correct…he had (c)
Tsukino Usagi: asked me here to enlist me as your son's bodyguard." Calaveras said calmly, wondering if it was truly Kenshi's Dark Moon blood that got him into this mess or Minako's. It seemed from the way Minako was speaking that he had taken after his mother more than Rubeus. The Rubeus that she had known was tactful about how he dealt with his plans, whereas Minako had just displayed that she was far too reckless. She briefly wondered how the senshi even dealt with her as a leader or if she was even worthy enough for that title. "I am not about to get involved in the Imperial Court's affairs. I do not need them hunting me down when I know we'll be facing a common enemy shortly… or would you rather have one of your two only resources in prison with your son? I simply intend on watching over him and ensuring no harm comes to the boy. (c)
Tsukino Usagi: I will be doing this…while I'm right here on Earth." Calaveras would only provide Rubeus a nod in acknowledgement to his remark about their plans. She understood fairly well that if this woman was acting how she was when it came to her son being in prison, she wouldn't have taken kindly to Rubeus's plan. One less bystander the better, Calaveras thought. (e)
Death Phantom: - Graceson’s eyes shifted back to Serenity when she heard her question . The defenses of this woman went up almost instantly “ I’m fine . “ She said quickly. Listening to Usagi’s words the woman only tilted her head some “Italy” The Admiral thought to herself. It then got her thinking. Italy was where she met Sota. Unknowingly to everyone the female had took a trip there to get some off time and ended up going a famous hotel there where she alone stayed the first week by herself between reading and relaxing. The second week was where she met Sota however at the time she did not know he was the grand elder of the Kage family. Usagi’s idea of picking a spot in which was going to be troubling for Graceson was bound to end in failure. The Admiral was a daring and bold woman , she didn’t back down from anything and to top things off she didn’t bite her tongue. Graceson however did not know this was a ploy to make the outing distasteful for he however Usagi would find that her plan was (c)
Death Phantom: going to back fire badly. Nomen knew of Graceson’s like for Italian food her and Amour had the same interest in food. Nomen nodding to Serenity’s words would then turn to Graceson’s direction having heard his wife calling out to her. It was Usagi's suggestion which caused him to chuckle “ See I knew you two could get along See Bunny you both have a like for Italian food . “ Graceson’s eyes would glance to Usagi from the corner of her eye then looking to Nomen forced a smile on her face. Without another words she simply walked forward. Her stomach was getting that sick feeling again and that previous bickering with Usagi took much out of her. Stress it wasn’t such a good thing to have . When she got to the entrance of the door everything felt like it was spinning. Instantly she would stop and close her eyes . “ Focus ... “ She thought to herself but in this case it wasn’t going to work. Between the fight with Wise Man , the conflicting with Usagi both in the future and just now had (c)
Death Phantom: affected her. The shock she caught she had not even recovered from and all this was stacking up altogether. The Aino was a proud woman however she refused to show a sign of weakness. “ I’m an Imperial Knight Admiral , whatever this little sickness is will not deter me from having a simple outing! “ She thought to herself and clenched her fist some. When she took another step it happened , her body felt completely hot feverish hot almost . This was a simple side effect of being Pregnant with a Kage child. The woman needed rest to allow her body to be more stable. She would faint. Nomen’s eyes quickly looked from Usagi to Graceson when seeing her faint . “ Milla .. “ He called out quickly and jogged over to her kneeling down. Moving to sit her up he felt how hot she was . “ Serenity she is burning up. “ He called out and looked to the Special Guard “ Vance send the Admiral to the medical ward now. “ He called out. The large guard would walk over to Graceson picking her up. Nomen (c)
Death Phantom: sighing would look to Usagi and Serenity “ It seems our meal will have to wait , or you two can go on and I’ll catch up with you two. Meanwhile Kina would laugh at Minako’s words while picking up her newly placed incredible Hawk. Drinking a good portion of it her eyes then would look to the multi hair colored female and raise her cup to her “ Sure you can join us.. The more sexy women the better . “ She called out and looked to the bar tender “ A. Get us a home made twisted tea. ! “ Now a homemade twisted tea was nothing like one of those normal twisted teas in which came in a bottle they were from homemade ice tea with multi forms of liquor. Inside was also candy in which they placed on the bottom. The tender would bring in four tall glasses of the home made twisted Ice Tea. “ Put it on my tab “ She called out to the bar tender and smirked “ A Rei when was the last time you had a real night out eh ? We about to have some fun ! “ She called out. Meanwhile Rubeus would (c)
Death Phantom: chuckle “ Indeed were not going to be trifling with the Imperial Court. Minako our plan to have Kenshi watched over is far more safe and it does not break any form of law in which may be in place. Minako I told you I’d make sure Kenshi would be okay and that is what I’m doing . Put your dislike to Calaveras aside and look at the bigger picture please. This is about Kenshi being safe. “ He called out and clapped his hands together “ Why don’t we get something to eat eh? My treat we can all sit talk relax. I think some R&R is exactly what we all need right about now? Fong meanwhile watched Pluto carefully while he held the large book in his hand quite easily despite his old looking demeanor. The Outer Being was about to go on an all-out attack on both senshi that was until Pluto spoke out following Saturn’s words. Narrowing his eyes upon them he allowed the book to go free. “ You two may look at this book.. However any other matter beyond Wise Man is forbidden . Attempt to look for (c)
Death Phantom: anything other than Wise Man Senshi or not I will depose of you both. These very books hold the very fabric of the Universe. They are more than simply history records they are strains , strains of Past and present of what is beyond this realm’s time . This is as close to a temporal gate in which one will find for something beyond time. Do not abuse it... I will not warn you again. “ With that Fong would make the book float back to Saturn before turning around and walking away . (e)
Minako Aino: Pluto would release a sigh of relief. Thankfully, it didn't come down to what Fong lastly said. Looking down at Saturn, Pluto gave a smile. "You know I will always be here for you while Uranus and Neptune are busy." Even the time senshi hasn't heard any word for the two, it was starting to worry her. Though now her mind was back on Hotaru. "Don't take Fong the wrong way, he means well and is very protective to make sure none of this knowledge falls into the wrong hands. Now, let's get to work." Rei would smirk a big smirk, as she leaned her head on Kina's shoulder. A small hiccup escaped her lips. "I do have fuun Kina. I mean..like right now, i'm having fun. Though." That index finger was held up."I can't have too much fun. If your father finds out..kaboom." She made a small fire explosion within her hands."There goes me, my powers and my friends." Though Rei wasn't about to say no to another drink on someone else's tab. Moving over to take a small sip of the twisted tea. Hikaru would -c-
Minako Aino: give a nod of her head at that. "Thank you." Though the female wasn't used to this type of drink, golden with a tint of red eyes stared at the twisted tea. "What..is this?" Hikaru looked to the one name Kina in question. She only had the light drinks, never before the heavy or mix drinks. Though before she tasted it, she would wait from the intel on Kina first. Minako would look to her counterpart with those eyes casted downwards. "I went with Pearl to save my friends and earth. He would have destroyed it." Minako would move a hand to play with a strain of her hair." Pluto told me something right before I entered the time gate to the present..that if I didn't go. Pearl would have killed Bruce, and possibly my son." Minako's other hand clenched tightly at this. It was rare to see this side of Minako, instead of the joking side. "White moon or not, I could not allow that to happen to my family. Also.." Minako paused for a moment, before closing her eyes and decided to be honest about it. -c-
Minako Aino: "When you left Rubeus...Pearl showed up again with Nima, the earth king was pretty much hanging by a thread. Even though I am forbidden to encounter them alone. I made a promise to the future Nima, that I would be the one to enlighten her and be her friend." Minako said with a soft smile, but it didn't take long for the natural Minako to return. "I honestly...have nothing against her Rubeus. It's pretty much..I guess a sorta sister debate/relationship? Food does sound good though, me and Usagi were supposed to grab some cheese burgers. But all that stuff happened. Anyway, Rubeus..you should know me. I don't care who I work with, I can put aside my personal feelings for both you and Kenshi. Now that's settled, I can cook up something." Naturally Minako knew that she couldn't cook period, But the reactions from Rubeus and Calaveras would be priceless. -e-
Tomoe Hotaru: Hotaru listens to the male and nods, "I promise I will not misuse my kings trust and I can tell that you are being protective but please if you would call me Hotaru," There is a kind smile that is seen on her face and it goes away once the male leaves to allow a breath to be heard. Eyes look to Setsuna and she nods, "I figured but thank you.....and yes, they need to know and I won't be doing my job if they are not here." With a shake of her head the female resumes and closes an eye. "Okay, help me to understand something here......he was once a human that was banished to Planet Nemesis." Looking to the orb she would use this knowledge and compares it to the events shown, "But what possessed him to become Wise Man...." Flipping through a couple of pages the female is having a hard time figuring it out. -e-
Tsukino Usagi: "Who said that's getting along?" Usagi turned her head away, she didn't choose that spot because of Graceson. She felt obligated to choose something nice because of her mother being present; otherwise if it was just the three of them, Usagi would have chosen Crown Café. It was inexpensive and her old teenage hangout which Usagi loved, but it was enough to send a message given that as royals they could have technically afforded anything. The place she had chosen was rather expensive and Usagi just didn't care anymore. Serenity upon seeing Graceson faint was a bit in shock, only shaking her head at the stubbornness of the woman. They both likely knew that Serenity knew that she was lying even from her earlier response. "I'm going with you…" Serenity sighed at Nomen's reaction. "I think I know…what it is." Usagi however groaned when the plan for food was cancelled, but hearing her parents interact Usagi was then reminded of what happened during (c)
Tsukino Usagi: the battle with Minako and Pearl. "Papa…Minako caught it too even when she was evil… I think Amour kinda hinted it, I thought she was hinting towards something else…but…there's a theory going around that Graceson's pregnant…" Usagi refrained from getting too close to them, remaining exactly where she was. Nonetheless it was a sight to see for Usagi and she was definitely not gonna let it go! Meanwhile, "Foolish…" Calaveras said to Minako coldly, gazing towards Rubeus when Minako revealed what Pluto had said about his future self. Perhaps her prediction was correct, was their plan really going to work? Death sounded imminent and Calaveras was already not liking what the future held. If Wiseman had known that she was alive due to her future self's appearance, Calaveras knew that the future was likely going to change. "I think we have no choice…but to involve ourselves with the White Moon… It might be wise if we held the séance with (c)
Tsukino Usagi: them present…" Calaveras said telepathically to Rubeus, but surprised at his suggestion and Minako's own. Calaveras had already eaten dinner at her apartment before being summoned by Rubeus, therefore she wasn't hungry. "I already ate." She said, thankful that she had. She had heard of Minako's terrible cooking from employee gossip. "But very well…" She stood up from her chair when Minako agreed to cooperate. (e)
Death Phantom: - Raising two fingers Nomen would merely just bop Usagi in the back of her head giving her the fabled “ gibbs smack “ for her words . This was ironic to use being Kenshi used it on Rei’s future son which could hint off Mitsukai use to get Kenshi in the same way and possibly got caught by that from Nomen himself hence gave a clue to who started off that whole form of smacking in the back of the head with two fingers . “ Kindness is venture Bunny “ He called out toward her only to look to his wife and nod to her “ Very well , Any light in which why my Imperial Knight has been sick for the past few weeks will be nice . She has refused to see doctors. She is not going to be pleased to find she is in the medical ward when she wakes “ He called out to her. Looking to Usagi he sighed “ Bunny you are welcome to wait for our return to go out or you can go ahead and we will catch up to you. “ He spoke out to her. Vance meanwhile had taken Graceson to the medical ward and there was where she (c)
Death Phantom: would be treated. It was when Usagi remained behind them to speak out upon Graceson being with child possibly that caused Nomen to just raise a brow at Usagi “ Bunny... don’t be silly. That is not Graceson’s style to become with child. She’d more so try to kill a guy who tried to touch her then allow them to get with her . “Nomen laughed cause he found such hard to believe. The Imperial Knight Admiral Pregnant “ HA “ Nomen thought to himself and turned to Serenity easing his arm around her when walking back over to her only to then just stop and think about Usagi’s words . “ HA...... Right ??? “ He thought to himself now questioning such. He had seen Graceson easily become sick on more than one occasion , her temper was lashing out a lot more than normal. A blink look could be seen on Nomen’s face. Yeah.... ha... ha..... ha.. “ Yeah Nomen was unsure of it now the male was thinking more deeper into it . Who the heck could be her baby’s father if that was the case ? When did she (c)
Death Phantom: spend time off for such ?? “ Nomen’s eyes would then go wide remembering her requesting two weeks off “ no... “ he muttered out loud and began to chuckle while teleporting himself and Serenity to the Medical ward “ I think Bunny may be right...” he muttered out and would look to the direction of one of two doctors checking on Graceson. The doctor would walk over to Serenity and Nomen . “ Queen Serenity , Lord Nomen , The Admiral is woke but ... “ Just as a doctor was trying to treat the female Graceson damn near kicked the doctor away and shifted out of the table “ I’m fine ! “ Graceson snapped out. Fixing her uniform she forced herself to remain on her feet now. “ Admiral please sit so we can run our tests . Graceson began walking to the door and heading out in a rush “ The only test you will see if how far my foot goes up your ass if you come near me ! “ She snapped out. The doctor would look to Nomen “ Sir I can’t treat her if she refuses... even an order from you would not help (c)
Death Phantom: this one. As a doctor I can’t treat those who refuse treatment . “ The doctor spoke out. Graceson walked quickly and closed her eyes “ focus .. Focus .. “ She thought to herself . She was having trouble focusing on using her powers now due to this stress.. However through mere stubbornness and will she teleported herself back at Imperial Command sitting in her office . Meanwhile Rubeus would look between his longtime ally and “ ex “ and his wife. “ Ladies please “ He called out and looked to Calaveras “ I’m pretty sure all three of us can hang out a bit and talk and relax in a mature peaceful manner. “ He said and smiled to Minako having heard her words of having no problems with placing things aside. “ ” We can go get something light , maybe go to a pub or something eh ? “ he called out toward both females. Kina meanwhile would grin looking to the multi colored haired female “ What kind of drink that is? It is something which is very good and will make things even more fun “ She (c)
Death Phantom: called out. Picking up her own drink she drunk more and laughed leaning some against Rei. It was then that a random male could be seen moving toward the four females. “ Hello ladies. “ The male called out with a cocky looking smile “ So which one of you four ladies wants to head out with a real man eh ? “ he called out. Kina’s eyes would look to the male speaking and just smirk “ I don’t head out with guys who look like they pissed their pants. “ The male would look at his pants “ heck you talking about ? “ Kina taking her drink she would pour it right on his pants . “ See.. You look like you pissed your pants. “ She called out only for the dude to look at his pants and shake his head “ Fucking bitch .. “ he called out and patted his pants. Looking to Rei she just smiled then looked back to the male “ Call me a bitch.... One more time . “ (e)
Minako Aino: Minako would stare at Calaveras with a frown. "I do not see how it is foolish to protect my husband and son. I've given up my life on many accounts for my Queen. My husband and son have the same priority in my book." Though that would be the only thing she would say to Calaveras. For now anyway, looking to her husband. "A pub sounds nice. When was the last time we went out together Rubeus? I mean between my duty as Queen of Venus and you in your secret lab." Minako couldn't think of the last time they went out, though she still wished Kenshi was with them. But she decided to have faith in her husband's judgement and plan. Moving to get up from Rubeus lap, and to hold out her hand to help her husband up out of that chair. Though her other hand extended toward her female counter part. "Truce for now?" Minako did remember Calaveras future self coming to the rescue..sorta. Rei rolled her eyes at the male that was hitting on them. Though she couldn't help but laugh at Kina's comment, though -c-
Minako Aino: once the male called her friend a bitch. Rei snapped like a twig, left fist clenched before she turned around getting up. A little wobbly, as that fist that was clinched. A right hook would be thrown towards the male, strong enough to knock his teeth out or most of it. A hiccup escaping her lips while pointing down at the male. "Excuse me princess, but the only date or lay you will get is with your hand. So get the hell out of our faces." When Rei was drunk, it was more easier for her temper to show. That hand moved to wrap around Kina's shoulder, as those fiery eyes continued to eye the male. "No one calls this girl a bitch and gets away with it." Hikaru while she completely ignored the male. Her focus was on this drink, as she moved to grasp the class and take a small sip of it. A soft cough was given with a gentle shake of her head. "That is...a pretty strong drink." Though that eye went toward the male and back to Rei. "Glad to know you still got that fire in you. Though...you could -c-
Minako Aino: have went easy on him. Though if the King ever found out that his daughter got called that word." A soft whistle was given. "Your punch is the least of his worries." Pluto would look down at Saturn with her Garnet Hues, a soft shake of her head was given. "Chaos..can turn anyone into a puppet, though I think it is more than just your average puppet." Those arms would cross over her chest gently. "I am beginning to think that wiseman is some sort of Vessel..though I do pray I am wrong about that. Otherwise we will have more trouble ahead of us." -e-
Tomoe Hotaru: A vessle, something about that doesn't set well with Hotaru, "Setsuna, let us all pray that you are wrong." This would explain a few things, though page after page the female just sighs in frustration and now Saturn can be seen slightly coming out as a fist collides into the desk and her purple aura picks up slightly,"Damn it! Why have we not prepaired for this? I mean shouldn't there have been protocals to be taken to ensure that this....thing, doesn't return?" With a frustrated breath the Outer Senshi leader just leans back into the chair and pinches the bridge of her nose only to glance up slightly, "Setsuna.....is there a chance that SHE might return?" Kaos, this thing seems to be every where and Wiseman a fragment, powerful, but a fragment indeed."Kill the clones and the real body appear." The thought begins to flow into her brain while also feeling her stomach rumble, "Mmm, I am hungry......also, you said that man's name is Fong, tell me, who is he?" She asks while violet eyes -c-
Tomoe Hotaru: violet eyes glance over to the Big Bang orb intaking information that is offered. -e-
Tsukino Usagi: Usagi rubbed her head when Nomen smacked her. "Papa!" She called, "Graceson doesn't know kindness. She's always complaining about emotion this, emotion that!" She huffed and then sighed. "I'll go…if it's the same medical ward that Mamo-chan's in I wanna check up on him too…" Usagi was confused when she heard his next comment. "Papa…there was a guy there that had some interest in Graceson, I think… He called himself the Grand Elder? What's so amazing about being elderly?" She asked as she scratched her head, teleporting after her parents had. She would just ask one of the doctors to grab her some hospital food—she was that hungry!!! Serenity meanwhile when seeing Nomen ease his arm around her would sigh. "Nomen, I did mention earlier that the Admiral seemed unwell…it makes sense..." It was difficult to believe, but Serenity didn't deem it impossible. Graceson's actions startled the queen, placing her palm against her mouth as she'd then look back towards Nomen. (c)
Tsukino Usagi: "Admiral, please…if you'd rather not be tested here, would me examining you once I'm capable of controlling my power suffice? I'm never wrong when it concerns this…" Serenity sighed when she witnessed the admiral teleport. Meanwhile, "It's foolish to assume that the prince would not do what he wants simply because you gave yourself up to him. Haven't they ever taught you to not negotiate?" She inquired, surprised by Rubeus's suggestion to go to a pub. Calaveras didn't mind that and she silently agreed to it, but Minako's offer of a truce catch her a little off-guard more so when she extended her hand. She took it, but the grip on it was tight as if she was silently warning her. (e)
