A: Worst First Impressions [Usagi non-interactive] CW Warnings: Stalking
Usagi doesn't really remember HOW, all she knows is that when her eyes opened, she was suddenly... back home?
Or well, she was back home, but she was ALSO looking at a version of... herself. A younger version of herself, admittedly, at least at 14 (though there didn't appear to be that much difference besides a slightly rounder face), but definitely at herself. Besides her was a girl with short blue hair, Ami, as well as her black cat with a crescent moon bald spot in the middle of her forehead, Luna. She looked around, old-style arcade games surrounding them.
The... the Crown Arcade?!
She blinked and looked all around.
"What..." she asked and then looked up when she saw ANOTHER person.
"Hey Ami, it's 5 o'clock now. Will you be alright?" she heard her younger self ask to Ami, Luna in her arms.
"Hey-! Hey!" she called out, coming over to the other person. "What's going on?"
B. Curiosity killed the moon cat [Princess Serenity - Interactive]
When you come to your sense, surrounding you will feel like a veritable Eden. The grass is a deep, lush green filled with an endless meadow of flowers of every color. The sky is such a rich blue it almost hurts to look at, the moon a pale orb in the sky. A line of trees surrounds the meadow, a stream is coursing through the meadow, lazily winding away out of sight through the trees.
Birds are chirping, butterflies and bumblebees are fluttering about from flower to flower and the whole Earth seems to be calm and at peace, even you might start to feel at ease.
Until that is, the distinct feeling of being watched kicks in.
And oh, you are being watched, to be sure. Just in the shade and shadows of the trees seems to be a figure all in silver and white who sticks out like a sore thumb despite clearly trying to hide.
C. 9 to 1 is a fair fight. [Sailor Moon - Interactive] CW Warnings: Attempted murder, actual murder, violence against children
There's a deep, unsettling silence all around you, when you come to. Before you is a absolutely GIANT palace with long stone steps leading up to the entrance.
Eternal Sailor Moon is clearly battered and bruised but otherwise fine... well, physically. In her arms is a dead young woman with long red twin hair tails, much like her own. Her body begins to float into the air and Sailor Moon is knocked back by a younger girl with bright pink hair and an outfit not terribly dissimilar from her. The body of the red head disappears entirely, a single, red-glowing crystal the only thing that remains of her body. Before Sailor Moon can grab it, it disappears.
"KAKYUU?!" she screams out.
"Your next opponent..."
Her head snaps up when she hears a sharp voice on the wind. And there, standing on the steps, are the other senshi, her best friends, alive, again, after having watched each one of them die in front of her eyes.
"Will be us, Sailor Moon!"
A
But as Usagi calls out to her, Rena snaps out of it and turns her head toward her, blinking in surprise.
"R-Rena doesn't know!" She squeaks while shaking her head. "She has no idea where this is! She doesn't!"
no subject
"What!? Oh no! I've got English extra help today after school!"
Usagi's eyes narrowed in thought. Wait...
Her eyes widened.
Oh... OH NO.
"Oh but Ami, if you leave now I'll be bored her by myself!" her younger self whined, clinging onto Ami's arm.
Ami giggled. "Well then Usagi, why don't you come along with me?" Ami winked. "And you know~, around this time every day, if you ride the bus you'll see an incredibly gorgeous girl who happens to ride on this line during this run. Sometimes we sit together."
The younger Usagi was immediately sold on the idea and she and Ami moved outside of the arcade, walking towards the bus stop, the bus coming towards them on the road.
"We're going on the Sendai Hill Route? Sounds familiar..."
Suddenly, a boy with large glasses and uncombed hair came up beside Usagi and Ami. Usagi looked absolutely stunned to even see him all of a sudden.
"OH YEAH! It's the route that the 'Devil's 6 O'Clock Bus' is supposedly on! Usagi, we shouldn't get on this bus, it's bad luck!" Her younger self balked at his presence, clearly moving closer to Ami.
"Umino what are you even doing here?"
Umino waved his arms up and down as Ami got on the bus, holding Luna for Usagi while Usagi was about to climb up too.
"Seriously!" he exclaimed. "People really do go missing after riding this bus!"
Her younger self waved a dismissive hand.
"What? That's just gossip, isn't it? Anyway, I'm going to ride the bus with Ami!" she waved goodbye to the boy as the doors closed behind her and suddenly Usagi and Rena found themselves on the bus alongside her younger self, Ami, and her cat.
"Why did it have to be thiiiiis?" older Usagi whined.
no subject
"Devil's 6 O'Clock Bus?" She repeats quietly. And then in a blink, suddenly they're on the bus. She looks around quickly, feeling frazzled suddenly. "Wh-what's going on?"
But her eyes drift back to the younger Usagi again before looking up at the older on once more. "That's... you, right? Right?"
no subject
"I don't even know how this is happening."
She looked over to Rena.
"Um... sorry that you seem to have gotten stuck in one of my memories?"
B
Atsushi has been on the memshare train a few times already, but it still sends a shiver down his spine. It's too much like being taken to that place last month and he needs a focused few seconds to calm down. The brilliant blue sky, lush green carpet of grass, and rainbow of flowers all serve to relax him. The feeling of being watched, though...
That has the Tiger on edge. His hearing and sight are quite sharp, allowing him to pinpoint the general direction of the person watching him. However, he cannot immediately identify her. Perhaps for the best, as Princess Serenity is not someone he's had fond encounters with.
"Uh... Excuse me. Am I intruding?" He calls out nervously to the figure, only then remembering that these are memories. He has yet to interact with the memories themselves. "I can look away if that's better..?"
no subject
"Are... are you a human?" she asked cautiously, her voice sounding ancient and young all at once.
cw; death
Atsushi can't help but tense. She seems so innocent, but he's had a lifetime to train this instinctive fear.
"Human?" He vaguely remembers that Usagi is from the moon. Does that technically mean she's an alien? Atsushi actively tries to relax his posture and voice, but that only makes him seem more tense. "I am... My name is Atsushi."
... Ah. If she's asking about him being human, than she must not remember him! So;
"What's your name, miss?"
no subject
"Hello, Atsushi," she giggled, smiling. "My name? My name is Serenity." She continued to circle him. "You, how old are you? How many years have you existed on Earth?"
no subject
"How old? Uh- Eighteen?" She was asking the good questions there, given how Atsushi had recently been worrying about his age in the Trench. He tried to follow her circling and continue to face her, not wanting to rudely break eye contact. "Sorry, is there something wrong with me..? I could fix it?"

C- Why do I do this to myself argh
Sure enough, there was Sailor Moon, but beaten, weakened, and holding the body of someone taht looked equally as grand as herself. Luz made a small noise, hating that her friend was once again being pushed into horrifying events, and understanding that this was somehow just the start of how bad things are going to get.
And when the red-haired dead woman disappears, she hears the cruel voice tell what the next sequence of events will be. Luz didn't have to guess what it would be, because she'd seen a mock-up of it already, hadn't she? That, though, had been in Usagi's brain. This, she knew, was not something the girl came up with.
It was a memory.
"Sailor Moon," Luz said softly, not too far away from the heroine. "No."
no subject
"No... It can't be..." Sailor Moon's voice is small.
She shakily stands to her feet. "Venus! Mercury! Mars! Uranus! Neptune! Jupiter! Pluto! Saturn!" the women stared at Sailor Moon either with a sneer or with absolute coldness in their eyes. But Sailor Moon could only smile, because it was her girls, her loved ones, her BEST friends! Alive!
She wobbles but finds strength, blinded by her joy to notice Venus clenching her fists and the two little girls with bright pink hair behind her gasping. Then, from behind the women, blowing in the wind is a man Luz will know very well by now. He steps out, standing in the doorway of the grand palace. Mercury and Mar parting so he can be seen and Sailor Moon can only gasp.
They're alive, they're alive!
"Tuxedo Mask!?" her hands go to her mouth, and she's about ready to cry. The littlest pink-haired girl grabs onto Usagi's leg, trying to stop her, vehemently shaking her head. The little pink-haired senshi turned to Luz, trying to convey that this was WRONG. This was absolutely not meant to be.
"Sailor Moon!" the little one cries out. But she merely falls back as Sailor Moon starts to gain energy and run towards them. She doesn't even notice she's knocked over the child.
"Mamoru! Everyone!"
Mamoru tilts his head, sneering as he gazes at her.
"Kill Sailor Moon," he chuckles "And then steal the Silver Moon Crystal."
Sailor Moon stops dead in her tracks.
no subject
She could feel the wrongness in this scene. It was her friends all right, but they were different, they were sinister. Mean. And it only took a moment for Luz to figure out that whatever Sailor Moon was running to, they were about to completely make her regret trusting them.
"Sailor Moon! NO!"
And again, Pale Blood had Luz enter the memory, and she put her hand to her mouth, hardly believing she was interfering, but moving toward the girl with no hesitation.
They were not going to hurt Sailor Moon so long as she was here!
But gosh they were scary.
no subject
Mercury and Mars step forward, their eyes cold, their mouths in sneers that don't belong there, not on those faces.
"We are your first opponents!" they call out.
Eternal Sailor Moon can't move. She can only stand in shock as Mercury summons her harp.
"MERCURY AQUA RHAPSODY!" she calls out, Mars is immediately beside her.
"MARS FLAME SNIPER!" they're both practically GLEEFUL at attacking Usagi. The attacks combining together and becoming a powerful twisting force of water and fire would be impressive if it wasn't heading STRAIGHT for Usagi.
But Usagi can't move.
The girls are attacking her? No, no this can't be true.
The Sailor Quartet sees that Usagi is not only NOT dodging but not blocking either, they immediately jump in front of her and block the attack with combined powers.
But the Sol Senshi are too strong for the Quartet, experience and pure power knock the quartet into the air, slamming into them and they scream in pain as they crumple to the ground at Usagi's feet. Chibiusa screams out to the quartet, but the women on the steps just laugh.
How... How could they do that? Were they possessed?
Chibiusa runs forward, but while Chibi Chibi has a hold of Luz, she does much the same she will later do for Chibiusa. Visions of each and every violent death of the senshi and Mamoru will flash in Luz's mind. Usagi made to witness each one.
no subject
"N-no," Luz manages to mutter, and then her resolve takes her, makes her move. "No!"
Because she'd getting the vision of her friends dying, so now she knows that they're being manipulated, their bodies being brought out specifically to hurt her friend. The vision of Usagi heartbroken as her friends blamed her in her mushroom fantasy flashed in her head, and Luz knew. She didn't want her friend to suffer. She already had so much to deal with. Seeing people crumple in front of her, seeing them set against her.
It was too much. Too much!
Luz was at Usagi's side, her staff raised up, her shivering hands holding tight with her intentions.
"Don't. Hurt. Her."
C
It doesn't seem like she's as 'lucky' this time around though. For one, she doesn't recognize the palace steps spreading out in front of her in the slightest. This is a place she's never been to before - which means it must be someone else's memory.
Whose memory it is becomes rapidly clear when Ange quickly starts to look around, trying to gather her bearings. Something that's easier said than done, because the realisations that this is Usagi's memory, that Usagi is holding a dead person, and that said corpse then fades into a crystal hit her with such quick succession that she can feel the whiplash.
.. and then there's another voice. And then she turns her head, watching people appear on those palace steps. Some of which Ange definitely recognizes. There's Rei, and Makoto, and Minako-- Usagi's friends from back home.
"Hold on..!"
Ange speaks up before she even realises it, quickly rising to stand up as she's trying to figure out what to do here. The main problem is that she lacks context, sure, but another problem is the fact that there's only one Usagi she can see here, rather than having two - one from the memory and one who's witnessing the memory.
Does that mean that they're the same person here?
She turns her gaze towards Sailor Moon, something in Ange's gaze almost desperate, trying to look for some explanation as to what's happening here.
no subject
Sailor Moon's mouth opened in shock. Truly, everyone's mouth was, because the women on those steps? They were dead. Sailor Moon would know, she had been forced to watch them die. But Chibi Chibi and Chibiusa and the Quartet don't know that like she does. Ange wouldn't know that. But Usagi certainly does.
"No... It can't be..." Sailor Moon's voice is small.
She shakily stands to her feet, ignoring Ange for the moment. "Venus! Mercury! Mars! Uranus! Neptune! Jupiter! Pluto! Saturn!" the women stared at Sailor Moon either with a sneer or with absolute coldness in their eyes. But Sailor Moon could only smile, because it was her girls, her loved ones, her BEST friends! Alive!
She wobbles but finds strength, blinded by her joy to notice Venus clenching her fists and Chibiusa and Chibi Chibi are gasping behind her. Then, from behind the women, blowing in the wind is a man Ange may not know but to Usagi, he is everything. He steps out, standing in the doorway of the grand palace. Mercury and Mar part so he can be seen and Sailor Moon can only gasp.
They're alive, they're alive!
"Tuxedo Mask!?" her hands go to her mouth, and she's about ready to cry. Chibi Chibi grabs onto Usagi's leg, trying to stop her, vehemently shaking her head. Chibi Chibi turned to Ange, trying to convey that this was WRONG. This was absolutely not meant to be.
"Sailor Moon!" she cries out. But she merely falls back as Sailor Moon starts to gain energy and run towards them. She doesn't even notice she's knocked over the child.
"Mamoru! Everyone!"
Mamoru tilts his head, sneering as he gazes at her.
"Kill Sailor Moon," he chuckles "And then steal the Silver Moon Crystal."
Sailor Moon stops dead in her tracks.
What?
Mercury and Mars step forward, their eyes cold, their mouths in sneers that don't belong there, not on those faces.
"We are your first opponents!" they call out.
Eternal Sailor Moon can't move. She can only stand in shock as Mercury summons her harp.
"MERCURY AQUA RHAPSODY!" she calls out, Mars is immediately beside her.
"MARS FLAME SNIPER!" they're both practically GLEEFUL at attacking Usagi. The attacks combining together and becoming a powerful twisting force of water and fire would be impressive if it wasn't heading STRAIGHT for Usagi.
But Usagi can't move.
The girls are attacking her? No, no this can't be true.
The quartet sees that Usagi is not only NOT dodging but not blocking either, they immediately jump in front of her and block the attack with combined powers.
But the Sol Senshi are too strong for the Quartet, experience and pure power knock the quartet into the air, slamming into them and they scream in pain as they crumple to the ground at Usagi's feet. Chibiusa screams out to the quartet, but the women on the steps just laugh.
How... How could they do that? Were they possessed?
no subject
And Ange can't blame her. If it had been her and her demons.. Ange would have felt the same way.
But at the same time.. it's not a good situation. This isn't something Usagi should be in the middle of. Even if it's just a memory, even if it's something that has already gone down this way.. What if the next attacks do hit Sailor Moon? What if Usagi has to suffer through that pain again, just because this memory is replaying once more?
The girl glances over at Chibi Chibi, staring at the incredibly young girl. There's something oddly wise in the little girl's eyes, but Ange has no time to consider that right now.
"What do I do..?" She asks, almost as if the girl might hold the answer. Chibi Chibi is the only one who seems to be acknowledging her here, so while it feels stupid to ask a near-toddler this, at the same time, it might be her only hope.
Ange glances up from the tiny girl, over towards where Sailor Moon ran over to, calling out again.
"Usagi!"
Maybe that will get through to her, Ange thinks. Because everyone else only seems to be calling her by her title in this form. Maybe it'll stand out to the other girl.
"Get away from there..! You'll get hurt!"
no subject
However, Chibi Chibi sees Ange and rushes over to her, she comes over to her and holds Ange's hand, memories of violent deaths of all the senshi and Mamoru in front of them are going to fill the red head's mind. When she finishes with Ange, she goes over to Chibiusa and does the same. Chibiusa can only stand in terror, having trying to convince Usagi that the bracelets on the girls' wrists was what was causing the problem. But no, it wasn't that.
With the Quartet passed out around her, Usagi can only stand in shock as Jupiter steps forward, an ugly sneer on her face.
"I'm next!" she calls out.
"JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!" Lightning fills and cracks through the air and slams into Usagi and she's slammed backwards several feet from the stairs, the only reason she wasn't dead was because she was Sailor Moon.
no subject
It's just a memory. She's just watching it play out as if she's there, but that's the awful part about it. Ange doesn't know what to do about this. She knows what the images the tiny girl is showing her mean, especially coupled with the weirdly vacant look in the eyes of the girls standing there on the stairs, the ones attacking Sailor Moon right now. It's not really them. Maybe it's illusions of them, or else reanimated corpses, but their soul isn't in there.
But how does that help them when Usagi is currently getting beaten up really bad? Ange physically winces when she watches Sailor Moon's body being sent flying like that. She raises her arms, as if she's attempting to cast some sort of shield over the other, only to find out that her powers don't work here.
Or rather.. maybe it's just that she's powerless in this moment. In this memory.
Ange glances over at Chibiusa, since it seems like they're the only ones who realise what's going on here. Ange herself, Chibiusa, and that strange little girl..
"C-Can't you do something about this?" Ange doesn't sound angry. No, the look she shares with Chibiusa is entirely just pleading. Ange is desperate to find some way to stop Usagi from getting hurt more, even though it might just be a memory. Even though she realises no one will recognize her, or even know what she's doing here. Maybe they can't see her at all.
But it still feels awful to see - so she has to try to do something, despite all that.
A
In a memory of Usagi's...well, looking like this might make her think he's an enemy. Something to fight, a threat. It's only when she calls out that he looks, frowning.
"Wait, can you see me?" no, she can't because the older Usagi is here...that...that makes sense. "...What's happening?"
no subject
Ami glanced at the clock, upset.
"What!? Oh no! I've got English extra help today after school!"
Current Usagi paused but then looked back over to Varian.
"Of course I can see you, Vivi! Why wouldn't I be able to see you?"
"Oh but Ami, if you leave now I'll be bored her by myself!" her younger self whined, clinging onto Ami's arm.
Ami giggled. "Well then Usagi, why don't you come along with me?" Ami winked. "And you know~, around this time every day, if you ride the bus you'll see an incredibly gorgeous girl who happens to ride on this line during this run. Sometimes we sit together."
The younger Usagi was immediately sold on the idea and she and Ami moved outside of the arcade, walking towards the bus stop, the bus coming towards them on the road.
"We're going on the Sendai Hill Route? Sounds familiar..."
Suddenly, a boy with large glasses and uncombed hair came up beside Usagi and Ami. Usagi looked absolutely stunned to even see him all of a sudden.
"OH YEAH! It's the route that the 'Devil's 6 O'Clock Bus' is supposedly on! Usagi, we shouldn't get on this bus, it's bad luck!" Her younger self balked at his presence, clearly moving closer to Ami.
"Umino what are you even doing here?"
Umino waved his arms up and down as Ami got on the bus, holding Luna for Usagi while Usagi was about to climb up too.
"Seriously!" he exclaimed. "People really do go missing after riding this bus!"
Her younger self waved a dismissive hand.
"What? That's just gossip, isn't it? Anyway, I'm going to ride the bus with Ami!" she waved goodbye to the boy as the doors closed behind her and suddenly Usagi and Varian found themselves on the bus alongside her younger self, Ami, and her cat.
"Is this... wait, is this a memory?"
no subject
Besides, it gives him something else to focus on other than his corruption- that seeing her react to his corruption. So he turns his attention to the scene around them.
"I think it is, yeah. They're...uh. They're going around again. Always fun."
The sarcasm is palpable. He hates it when it's memory sharing time, it's the worst.
"So...uh. Are we really on a cursed bus? Because I can buy that with you honestly," he nods at Umino. "Who's he?"
no subject
"Well, this is... kinda the first time of people being IN my memories," she mumbled. Usagi tended to miss out on the memory escapades. "But Varian, that's not important, what is important is what's going on with you!" she reached out for him.
"Hmm? Oh, well no... I mean, yes, kinda, but the bus isn't cursed REALLY so much as someone is making it. And that's Umino, he's just a friend from school. But again, not important right now. Why didn't you say anything?"

But, here, it definitely feels like a dream. A place that shouldn't exist. He stoops down and picks one of the flowers in the field, twirling it in his fingers. However, he stops almost immediately when he feels eyes on him and he slowly turns in the direction of them. "Um....Hello? Someone there?"
Right. Of course, this couldn't just be nice, he had to feel like somthing bad might just happen.
no subject
Everything about her screams that she ISN'T human. She glows from head to toe, there is a giant crescent moon in the middle of her brow, everything about her seems ancient and brand new all at once. She's gorgeous and ethereal and everything about her suggests she doesn't belong.
She circles around Glitch, now that she's caught, and seems to be looking him up and down.
"Are... are you a human?" she asks him, her voice new and ancient as well, just like her presence.
