I liked the 'want-it-need-it' spell aspect, that was a nice little explanation to use for how the effect worked. I'm kinda feeling like going for taking the fight to them right away. With Makoto on our side and the advantage of surprise I think we'll do well. Also, with that critical power awakening do we get any spells for Jupiter (or will that be chosen once we get into her first fight?)

Well why not, I do hope the contest still ends up happening, and Usagi's act is curing everyone there, but there's no real reason to not go for the HQ.

The Ranma c-plot is going to be a bit darker than I was expecting.

Yup. Akane might be the weakest member of the Ranma main cast, but she's still strong enough to flip a car by herself. If her ire gets drawn to a regular person, she could do some serious harm to them.

...I never thought of it that way...
well, yeah, it's hard to believe that the silver millennium was actually as perfect as they say.
At the very least they were apparently a bit racists about Earth I think. And we know so little about them that there could have been many other problems we don't know about.
After all, the present world has so many problems we either don't know about, or tend to ignore out of habit and a "not my problem/can't do anything about it" mentality...
aw... now we only lack Mars and Venus.
...well, technically the outer senshi too, but they usually keep to themselves If I remember correctly.
...
goes to check quickly he's still on a sailor moon quest, and not a my little pony one.
and then the whole town starts to fight over that doll.
...is this Jadeite's idea of a joke?
..that feeling when she understands why she did it, but she doesn't understand it.

I like how they appear to have not only given the girls a transformation, they gave the Pokemon their own (less elaborate) transformation.
Poor Makoto's brain.
Makoto: "...In blowing up the sun."
Usagi: "Like, mostly succeeded."
Makoto: "They... mostly... blew up the sun?"
Yes, @Lunaryon . Yes. You have managed to make this so good, I don't even regret the loss of Mistaken Jovian Princess Hypothesis.
Though it may appear in an omake at some point if the muses smile... I suppose we can't really call it a Negaverse omake in this particular setting, can we?
Essentially correct! Essentially confusing!
Perfect
...We have got to get her those bracelets.
In this case, the act seems to have revolved around little more than leaving the back door open...
I knew we could count on her.
Bullshit-tier cognitohazard identity protection, what did I tell y'all?
Usagi steps into an empty phone booth. Makoto watches her step into the phone booth.
There is a flash of light.
A girl with Usagi's height, build, general appearance, and PREPOSTEROUSLY distinctive hairstyle steps out of the phone booth.
The phone booth is now empty.
Makoto sees all of this. She thinks:
"Who is this mysterious sailor-suited stranger, and what has she done with Usagi? There must be... some... explanation!?"
I'm starting to feel sorry for the youma. Their inability to figure this shit out is cast in a very sympathetic light now.
Poor Makoto's brain.
NO MORE EXPLAINING PLEASE! HAVE MERCY!
Hahahahaha...
Of course, Makoto, there is more today.
Ah, good, Luna's here. So we do have Makoto's transformation pen. Phew!
D'awww.
[Middle School... Teacher... EXPERIENCE!]
To be fair, there are clearly many things going on in Usagi's head. I suspect that individually most of them are even fairly sensible, mostly. They just don't fit together very well. Brain full of jigsaw puzzle pieces.
Yep. Dunno if we can break this before the contest, but we have to at least try...
Hm. IDEA.
We blow up the youma, then warn the police. They run around finding the talent show participant/victims and sit on them all until the mind control wears off.
...No, that won't work. If the mind control is still functional with the youma dead, a lot of them will probably violently resist being detained, and there'll be a lot of chaos. Honestly it may be worse than just letting them obsessive-compulsively practice their acts for three days. Plus, the mind control may not wear off on its own for a LONG time.
Hm. New best case scenario! We blow up the youma (pretty sure it's this one, impersonating Mikan), run off Jadeite if he's present, then coordinate with the remaining judges and formerly-possessed human staff of the talent show to run the event in such a way that
Ah, yes, one of those lost artifacts of Second Millenium technology.
The phonebook.
1) Hm. Rolling at a +9. That was an Intrigue check from Ami, I think.
2) I imagine the following thought guilty thought:
Makoto: "Usagi is a wonderful friend to have, even aside from the magic, and I think I'll be glad I met her for the rest of my life... but... if we are fighting a solar-system destroying kingdom of demons, it's kind of a relief to know she isn't the brains of the outfit after all."
I'm imagining this being the English dub of an alternate-history version of the show, with the original Japanese being some other, entirely different kanji-based pun that's far more subtle.
Anyway, yep. Current head of talent for the Dark Kingdom. Thaaat's Jadeite. And after what happened to Marshmallow Monster, he's probably traveling with some muscle, just so he doesn't have to soil his hands splattering a platoon of JDSF commandos.
Wow. She really nailed the explanation this time.
I wonder if she'd have unlocked some more memories on a 10 and a natural crit?
KNEW we could count on this girl.
[qutoe]"Then you're going to need a little help." The girl says, an almost feral grin on her face as well. "Youma resist regular damage something fierce, and without some kind of magic to help protect yourself, then you'll end up getting badly hurt."
"So how do I get magic?" Makoto asks, a statement that only makes Ami grin larger, as she reaches into a pocket, pulling out her transformation pen.
"To start with, we cheat." Ami states straight out, "Mercury Power, Make up!" A flash of light, and Ami is transformed into the Warrior of Knowledge, Sailor Mercury.[/quote]I am glad we are giving her opportunities to shine.
And, to my considerable relief because I missed her arrival on the first read-through, we have Luna handy, which means we have her transformation pen.
Trying to stop the youma now was... well, I don't recall if it was my idea in the first place but I've been hoping to try for days. If nothing else, I want to know whether this kind of mind control relies on a load-bearing youma, because it would be very convenient if that were true. And if it's not, then we're probably no worse off than we were anyway.
To be fair, at least it seems to have been a largely post-scarcity magitech civilization, so most of the usual causes of human suffering would be ameliorated. It surely wasn't perfect, but it was a damn sight better than what came after.
Given this quest's penchant for crossovers, it cannot be ruled out that Equestria exists in a parallel dimension in the same multiverse, though an actual crossover may not materialize; things might get complicated.
Well, we're already working to destroy him and everything he's spent his post-possession lifetime working for, so I guess there's not much we can add on the pile for the terrible evil pun.

We need to minimize discovery and any possible casualties.

Given the police now know what DK stands for, there seems a pretty high chance they'll start investigating Dynasty Konnections because of the pun involved, sooner or later, especially since some of the contestants are bound to start acting strangely because of the spell (for example, I imagine any with jobs will be skipping work in order to practice).

Oddly, because of this, Jadeite probably isn't specifically expecting a raid on the talent show's headquarters immediately after the auditions.
Look at it from his point of view.
There are two major categories of threat to his plots so far. One is the police. The other is random superheroes showing up out of nowhere. Like that one renegade dog-youma(?) and his miko friend. Or that asshole in a tuxedo. Or that one (?) group (?) of female magic-user(s?) who keep leaving no survivors and that he may or may not know anything specific about yet. Reports may conflict, because it's unclear whether it's the same group blowing up his plots and those poor fuckers from the cobelligerent Dark Zone,* or two separate groups, and just how many of them there even are.
The random superheroes can turn up at any time, so far as he knows. They don't seem to have very good intelligence on his activities, except possibly the guy in the tuxedo, who doesn't seem to actually do much to disrupt the plots directly. Whatever he's after, he's probably not going to interfere with this plot specifically.
The police are mainly a threat to a plot like this because of their ability to stop the other mortals from even showing up to be harvested. He can easily muster enough youma strength to slaughter the police or reasonable numbers of soldiers at the point of contact, but they can still deprive him of the resources that are the whole point of the exercise, and they potentially have enough numbers on their side to be really freaking annoying.
...
Now, by the time the talent show rolls around on Sunday, the cops will have had two whole days to realize that hundreds of people are behaving strangely and aggressively, and to associate it with the talent show. They might put two and two together in time to disrupt the show, which they could probably do at least effectively enough to interrupt his harvest of life energy. He may have a plan in place to prevent that- to stop a raid on Caravan headquarters on Friday or Saturday. He might even have a plan to disrupt any attempt by the police to keep his intended victims from making it to the talent show, though that would be tougher for him to arrange and involve tactical experience of a kind he hasn't had much time to develop.
But all of that aside... the cops almost certainly won't figure the situation out fast enough to raid Caravan's headquarters this very evening. He won't be expecting to need the muscle now.
Meanwhile, of the known superhero threats, the asshole in the tuxedo probably isn't even going to get involved in a significant way, and the others are basically random events that could happen at any time, following no readily apparent pattern except possibly "they tend to show up in the afternoon or evening," which he may have noticed.
As such, Jadeite won't be on low alert right now, but he won't be anticipating trouble at Cinderella Caravan HQ any more than he would at any of his other operations at any random point in time.
...
Also, I think I figured out a viable episode breakdown for the quest so far! Maybe.
...If so, we are now entering Episode 7, which arguably forms a two-parter with Episode 6.

Ami did fine with her powers in the middle of the cram school fight, and Makoto was already capable of kicking a youma's ass before, so she should be fine. Edit: she mostly just throws a youma around.

With the caveat that I'm pretty sure that for all her Prowess score, an un-transformed Makoto wouldn't be able to inflict much lasting damage on a youma with her bare hands as opposed to just manhandling it...
I mean, she's thrown them around un-transformed...
Makoto: [picks youma up bodily]
Makoto: "JUST WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TRYING TO DO TO MY HERO, SAILOR MOON? ENOUGH!!!"
Makoto: [throws youma into bushes]
...
And I believe she even managed to bruise a dark general's pretty face, if I interpreted that "Best Of" clip correctly.
But there's a gap between that and being able to lastingly defeat supernatural creatures without getting cut to ribbons. Not like she's wearing body armor or anything, y'know?
...
On the other hand, if Luna's here we should be able to just hand Makoto her transformation pen. With that and her critical success on the awakening roll I'm reasonably optimistic about her chances regardless of anything I just said.
Sailors Moon, Mercury, and Mars were sufficient to inflict final defeat on Jadeite on a prepared battlefield of his choosing in Episode 13 from what I understand. So I'm willing to take my chances going in with Moon, Mercury, and Jupiter against, probably, just whatever extra muscle he has on-hand at Cinderella Caravan HQ when he's not specifically anticipating attack any more so than usual. Especially since Mercury's been crafting some actual offensive spells, as compared to her Season 1 canon self.
I agree with you, but. But but but.
One big problem is that we have no idea if killing the youma actually does anything to remove the possession compulsion. And we're very unlikely to get Jadeite in this raid- dark generals tend to run to save their own skins, unless you pin their backs to the wall. So even if we succeed in the raid on the headquarters, Jadeite might be able to show up at the talent show and exploit the compulsion personally.
And he may bring extra muscle, because then he will specifically be anticipating attack in force. At a minimum, there's at least one youma whose plot is effectively spoiled that we know of, but who is still alive. Namely, the youma behind the clock plot. The SAT team raided her like they did in Kimiko Quest in the cafe, but the youma won that fight. So while her store is realistically shut down because it's national news that she's a terroist... She's presumably alive and still working for (as far as I know) Jadeite.
And with the example of the cram school in mind, we have no idea how many other extra, unidentified youma Jadeite may have on his metaphorical payroll.
So depending on whether that youma is a load-bearing component of the plot or not, and whether Jadeite can salvage the situation in person or not, things could get pretty rough on Sunday no matter what we do here and now.
But it's still worth trying to blow up a youma in an area with minimal witnesses, just on general principles.
EDIT:
Observation: There was a police presence scheduled for the auditions, to secure the area, was there not? The police may already be aware of the talent show. If we can liberate the non-demonic talent show organizers, we may be able to work with them as liaisons to reach out to the police and approach them to make a coordinated response. Get the victims all in, intentionally pull them together, and have someone distract them while we cast Moon Tiara Stardust on them a few times.
If we're very lucky we may even be able to have a wholesome talent show with no youma bullshit, although the fact that the auditions greenlit everyone may make that logistically impossible.
IF we're prepared to go all in on cooperating with the police in our fight against the Dark Kingdom, at least in this context.
EDIT MK II:
If nothing else, we can get one of Jadeite's aliases labeled as an international terrorist or something. It probably won't slow him down much, but it'd be emotionally satisfying.

Kimiko Quest Omake!
Kimiko: Listen, I know you don't know anything about the Youma, but you're the only person I've been able to find who might know anything about this magic stuff.
Shopkeep: The secrets of the arcane are not easily delved, Miss Matsura. To even hint at such dark matters on an untrained mind can invite disaster-
Kimiko: I've been given a proprietary budget for consultants.
Shopkeep: …What do you need to know?
Kimiko: We found the aftermath of what we suspect was a Dark Kingdom operation at the headquarters of the Cinderella Caravan. The first thing we found was this set of chimes-
Shopkeep: Oh my. An auditory enchantment for the Want-It-Need-It spell. Spell range is fairly low, it only affects those standing relatively close. But intensity of effect is dangerously high, one might forget to eat or sleep in order to follow their newfound desires. Good news, the runes have been knocked out of sync, so whatever effects it had on its victims is broken. I can pay you good money for this.
Kimiko: …That's very informative, thank you. However, the chimes will need to be kept as evidence.
Shopkeep: Evidence? Well, I suppose for your personal bookkeeping, but do you actually believe that any of this will be presented in a court of law?
Kimiko: …Moving on. The second thing we found was taken from security footage from the building next door. This photo of what seem to be 3 teenage girls in sailor fuku entering the headquarters, then leaving an hour later. At first I thought that they were a perfoming act that were trying to do a late audition, but the cameras don't show anyone else entering or leaving until the police show up. And given that the interior looked like a warzone… Can you look through these photos and see if you recognize any of these girls.
Shopkeep: …A glamour effect that pervades through recorded media? Oh dear.
Kimiko: Wait, are you saying that these girls have magic like I do?
Shopkeep: No, Miss Matsura, not like you do. What you have is a shotgun, a parcel of power formed from desperation and rage, allowing you to cast a single powerful spell. These magic these girls wield are tanks, a comprehensive package of endurance and power. I suspect these girls are acting like your SWAT team, particularly since they seem to have taken on the Youma without so much as a scratch on them. As for recognition, it's a lost cause. The glamour is a powerful perception alteration; the girls could be standing right in front of us and you wouldn't be able to tell.
Kimiko: But do you have any idea who these girls might be? Maybe part of some…coven, or whatever you magic-types call yourselves?
Shopkeep: Surprisingly, no. I know the who's-who of the local magical community, but this doesn't seem to fit the…modus operandi of any of the factions I know. Newcomers wouldn't be able to get their hands on this kind of power, the ambitious would have already used it long before now to establish themselves, and the powerful families…tend to value personal security over altruism. If they wanted to make a statement, they would leave a calling card. If they wanted to be an infiltration unit, their…aesthetics are less than optimal. The most tangible theory is that some very old power granted this power to naïve novices in order to cull these Youma before their existence, and by proxy the existence of magic at large, become undeniable.
Kimiko: ...Those poor girls. I have to find them as soon as possible. If we can convince them to transfer the "packages" to trained professionals who know the risks-
Shopkeep: I suspect that the entity that granted them this power made it so that it could not be transferred easily, if at all. Power that can be pickpocketed is no power at all, as they say. Besides, I doubt that those who have been granted such power and have already been using it to help fight these monsters could easily be persuaded to give it up and be sidelined.
Kimiko: Teenage girls should be worried about makeup, crushes, and math tests; not about fighting monsters that can tear people limb from limb. But if they're stuck like this, they shouldn't have to do it alone.
Shopkeep: …The cat.
Kimiko: The cat?
Shopkeep: The black cat with the crescent moon marking on its forehead. It shows up in this photo with the warriors as they are leaving. It doesn't seem to have any glamour effect applied to it, so you should be able to recognize it if you see it again. Possibly it's some form of talking familiar.
Kimiko: …I wish I could dismiss that out of hand, but I can't. Gosh, is this my life now? Sometimes I wish I could go back to blissful ignorance where monsters weren't real, teenagers weren't a magic SWAT team, and cats didn't…talk…wait a minute.
Kimiko: Listen, I know you don't know anything about the Youma, but you're the only person I've been able to find who might know anything about this magic stuff.
Shopkeep: The secrets of the arcane are not easily delved, Miss Matsura. To even hint at such dark matters on an untrained mind can invite disaster-

...We might want to leave Luna out of future high-profile missions, seeing as how it's true; she doesn't have a glamour.
Unless we can find a way to conceal that distinctive mark, at a bare minimum.
EDIT:
Note that it is not a given that the convention center even has security footage capable of tracking housecat-sized people very well. This is the '90s. Cameras are more expensive than they will be in 2020, and storing footage from them is also more resource-intensive. Even when the footage IS recorded and not just monitored directly by a security guard, frame rates on security cameras are often deliberately low to conserve storage space, resolution is often poor, and distinguishing a little birthmark on a cat's head might be impractical.

Not the worst idea.Perhaps it could be covered up by a bandaid.
Preferably a black one, though. On Luna, a black bandaid (or a little patch of black cloth tied on with string or something) should be effectively indistinguishable from her fur at any normal distance, and certainly close enough to identical to fool a '90s security camera.
Notably, she's got Intrigue in the teens; she's frankly a lot more likely to think of this than Usagi is. Ami would be more likely to think of it, too, if she's trying.
