You sneak out of the apartment once more, heading back to the abandoned house.
Once there, you transform back into a human. You go to the closet that you hid the postman's bag in and take it out. You cast an illusion on yourself, your clothes rippling and blurring until you look like a postman. It truly is amazing how people will focus on the clothes rather than the person, ignoring that you are someone they have never seen before and are out at night.
You get the jewelry you had made last night, and put them into the last of the packages you had grabbed from the post office. You write several more anonymous 'love letters' requesting the receiver to wear the jewelry. What atrocious things, really. You head back outside.
You casually walk to a different neighborhood this time, and hand out the packages there. You spread them out among various houses once more, giving them to houses listed with a feminine name on them so they may be used.
While that does take most of the night, you still easily make it back in time for the morning, with Makoto still unaware of your nightly excursions.
Necklace 2: 58, +20 P
Earring: 96, +40 P
Bracelet 3: 22, not worn
Ring 2: 99, +40 P
In the morning, you notice Makoto does not wake up right away. Looking at her alarm clock, you notice it is off and well after when it is normally on. You shake her awake.
"Makoto? Will you not be late for school?"
"It's Sunday, we have no school. Let me go back to sleep, seven is too early." It is actually closer to eight, but you acquiesce to her demand. You have other plans for today in any case.
Once outside, you head into an alley and transform back into Annatar form. Today you will search the city looking for the poor and homeless to start your army.
Search: 63 = 15 Recruits
The first you find is a clearly downtrodden man sitting in the street. He is in his upper thirties, and is clearly homeless, wearing several shirts and is very thin.
"Hello good sir," you say to him. He looks up at you with a disbelieving gaze.
"Who are you?"
"I am known as Annatar, Lord of Gifts. I am someone who wants to help. May I ask what your name is?" You give him a hand and help him to his feet.
"I'm Ayumu. What do you want?" He still seems wary. But, for once, hopeful. After so long of him and other homeless being abandoned by those in power, even, or especially, the government, he can clearly hardly believe that someone such as you would approach him.
"Right now, you are homeless. Do not balk; we both know it to be true. But that does not need to be so. I have vast resources; what I need is discrete manpower. And that is where you come in."
"Why me?"
"As I told you. I need people who can stay quiet. And I am sure that you, whom have had so little for so long, will not pass this opportunity up or betray my trust. So will you take this chance?"
"Y-yes. Anything. What do you need me to do?"
"Hold out your hand for a moment."
He does so, and you put yours on top of his. You put a small amount of your will into him, using the direct contact to be discrete. He is now yours, until you will it otherwise.
"Wh-what was that? I felt…"
"I will be in contact," you respond before disappearing into the crowd. He will not forget this meeting, or your promise, anytime soon.
While that had been your first meeting, it was not your last. You meet with fourteen more humans–male, female, and of varying ages–who are homeless on the streets and convince them to join you. This is a small, yet important, start to your new army, you think.
Though there is another important step on the other side of things that you must continue. You enter into an alleyway, and a small black cat exits it.
1-18: Artemis
19-36: Minako
37-54: Hotaru
55-72: Mamoru
73-100: Great Youma
Rolled 66: Mamoru
You begin searching the city for another potential servant. It is now the afternoon, and very likely that if the next person you find is another young girl that she would be out of school by now.
You find the next person in another apartment, much closer to how Makoto lives than Ami's condo.
It does not take long for someone to open the door, letting you slip inside and up the stairs. Reaching the apartment door that leads to his room, you jump to the round doorknob.
Lockpicking: 5, Req 30 = Fail
However, it is unexpectedly slippery and you fall down from it with a loud thump. You suppose doors are not really made for cats.
That is not, however, your only recourse, and you do not plan on making the same mistake twice. You begin scratching at the door, making plenty of noise for her to hear you and let you in.
Attract him: 76, Req 20, 50 = Success
After a few minutes, a young man opens the door. How unexpected, this breaks the pattern completely. There must be something different about him. It is on he edge of your mind, but you cannot figure it out right now. You slip inside his apartment and sit in front of his couch.
"Hey!" He closes the door and begins to walk after you.
"We should talk. You may want to sit down." He freezes, then sighs and sits down. Another interesting reaction, not even any denial.
"Well, I guess a talking cat wouldn't be the weirdest thing I've seen this week. Who are you?" he asks.
"I am Tevildo, Lord of Cats. And your name?" You nod your head at him.
"Chiba Mamoru," he responds. He hesitates, and you make sure to start talking again before he can continue.
"I am here because, as you likely know, there have been monster attacks recently. These monsters are called youma, and I could not possibly leave this city defenseless. That is why I have come searching for people who I can sense are powerful such as yourself; I can teach you powerful magic and help you defend this city."
"How do you know who I am? Do you know what's happening to me?"
"What are you referring to?" Wait. You think you recognize him now. He is the one who intruded in your fight before. "You are the one called Tuxedo Mask, I take it."
"Yes. What do you know about it?"
"Nothing that you do not. So you already are a warrior, I take it."
"No! It's just… something compels me to come to the aid of Sailor Moon. I don't know why. And it transforms me into that Tuxedo Mask as well." Interesting. Is it possible that a curse was out upon him?
"Seems like it might be a curse."
"That doesn't seem right."
"Maybe. But I am an expert in magical matters, and I believe I can help you. So how about this: I help you solve this magic problem of yours and teach you magic, and in return you will help me."
Roll: 85, Req 20 = Success
"I guess I can agree to that." Excellent news. You now have three very powerful humans on your side, all of which are easily manipulated to become your servants. This is going very well along indeed.
"We have a deal then. Can you tell me more about your condition?"
"Twice so far I've been just walking around when I was suddenly transformed into Tuxedo Mask. I then start acting weird, and save Sailor Moon before going away." Twice? You must have missed a fight then.
"Well I certainly have not heard of any curse exactly like that before, but I will see what I can remember. If it happens again make sure to tell me. Seeing it happen would also help."
"Okay, I will. I just want to know what's going on…"
"Well, I do have to be going soon. Have a good day." You leave him with a sense of amicability. And, you do need to leave. It is late, and you have one more stop.
You return to the abandoned house, and enter the basement. Something very important awaits, after all.
A large, glowing ball of energy awaits you there. Very excellent, you think, your energy gathering stones have not been disappointing yet.
You absorb the energy, relishing in the rejuvenation. You then head back to Makoto's apartment.
"What have you been doing all day?"
"I have found us another ally. I'll have you meet him sometime."
"Really."
