Usagi Quest (CK3/Princess Maker) (Sailor Moon)

Reader mode
Usagi is the kind of friend who breaks brainwashing with how well she treats her friends, at least sometimes. We just need to keep Usagi Usagi-ing enough... which is why we keep letting her have her goof moments. :p

Anyway, Naru having some secret special destiny of her own is totally fine and possible. I just want to make sure we don't get too locked into confirmation bias about the nature of that destiny, based on two or three details that could plausibly be coincidental.
 
Look, the only thing I've done is gone "that'd be interesting if true" and point out it technically doesn't contradict anything in-quest. Likewise, I'm going to point out that you're assuming that if Naru was Beryl's reincarnation, she remembers and is active, something that is not required, as we haven't actual got confirmation that Beryl is active.

I don't think it's true, but it's a cool idea/theory.

Also, if I know the voters of the overall questing community, I give Naru good odds of becoming Princess-Consort to Queen Usage/Serenity. :V

Decided to post my own plan based on the points I brought up. Mostly the same as Fly Me to the Moon, but I switched:

1. Our Martial Action from Hanging Out with Makoto, to Checking In on the Hirotoshi Dojo. Because we wanted professional martial arts instruction in the first place, and this is the one Makoto recommended to us, and we don't want to take so long after expressing our interest in joining to the sensei to give him a bad impression of us. Plus checking in to make sure nothing bad happened from the Dojo Destroyer attack is just the nice thing to do, and may unlock a subplot. Makoto doesn't have anything time sensitive other than the Chen stuff, which leads to,

2. Switching Makoto's Personal Action from a generic DK investigation to one of our specific leads, having her take over the Pet Store Perfume from Usagi, so that,

3. Two of Usagi's Personal Actions go from the Pet Store and buying Luna a cat bed, to Shapelin Gym and Checking on Chen. Shapelin is so that we continue monitoring a known active DK plot so she can study their new style of operation and prepare to raid it, while also solidifying her Martial upgrade in the process. And Chen because he might be our last specific Youma plot on the action list, and even if he isn't Youma controlled following up on him is still vital to clearing Makoto's name. The sooner we solve this conflict, the sooner we can have Makoto join us as a classmate with complete peace of mind without the delinquent label hanging around her neck. So I see it as more urgent than Luna's cat bed, she'll just have to sleep in Usagi's room without it for one more week.

I mean, it is, and I earlier acknowledged specifically the possibility that Naru is some kind of subconscious reincarnation of Beryl's good side, or an incarnation of a time-traveling Beryl from the future, or something similarly exotic.

It seems highly unlikely to me that Beryl would be inactive, though, simply because she's the one who set up the Shitennou with mind control. What's keeping them on-mission if she's not involved, and who's forcing them to at least vaguely pretend to work together towards a common goal, as illustrated by youma loyal to different generals being present in the same place when we fought at the cram school?

Far more likely, IF Naru is specifically somehow associated with Beryl, that Beryl is active and somehow does not know anything Naru knows. Probably because the 'Beryl' within Naru is not directly enough linked to today's present-day evil Beryl who resides in the Dark Kingdom.

Also, if I know the voters of the overall questing community, I give Naru good odds of becoming Princess-Consort to Queen Usage/Serenity. :V

Although Naru is literally the only human character of any note who has overtly said she doesn't swing that way.

Same rationale why I voted against police. Usagi knowing is narrative escalation.

A third and more likely possibility is that Beryl died way back pre-fall when she allowed Metalia to possess her and that the Beryl who caused the fall was actually Metalia puppeting her corpse. It is a classic after all for powerful being seducing foolish mortals with unlimited power to kill them and take control instead.

I could be convinced to switch to Fly me to the Moon if the Makoto action is changed into a specific investigation.
Edit: While I'd like to bring in Minako, I don't think Luna would think it's necessary right now. Also isn't she supposed to be fighting Danburite, not Zoisite?

Okay, main Senshi sheets updated. I'll get Pretty Cure and Tuxedo's up once I finish finagling them into actual sheets rather than just numbers.

And as for Danbury, Luna knows that Artemis and Sailor V are fighting that guy often, but that he reports to Zoicite.

As of right now, each of the Dark Generals seem to be focusing thier plans on one hemisphere

The actual important part is the one part of her backstory that makes no fucking sense.

This is a like, ten year old girl with the power of heal people at a touch.

First off, how is she not a total Chuuni, but more importantly, her classmates are apparently 'Scared' of her healing powers, Like I get that there is the whole extra bit of Mistress 9 using that fear to take over Tomoe's body to be mean to the other kids, but uhh...

Someone put the cart in front of the horse here.

Japanese kids have been bullied for a great many weird, strange and bizarre things. I suspect how it was introduced and/or their opinion of her before it was revealed might have been the deciding factor, but can't say for sure without checking the manga and/or anime.

Edit: changed my vote from fly me to the moon to Too many plates. I want to get rid of as many DK plots as possible.

[X] Plan Too Many Plates
 
Diplomacy:
> Didn't we already do the "convince parents to increase your allowance"? Also probably suboptimal when Alice is working on something much bigger for us.
> Message for police is probably better to wait until Alice's company is in a position to provide help.
> I'm going to avoid Mom for now; I don't think we're in a position to really handle that particular variety of Attention yet.

- [ ] Clear up Makoto's Confusion [DC 15]
- [ ] Talk with your Classmates [DC 8]

Martial:
> I'm going to assume "clear up Makoto's confusion" will handle the "hang out with Makoto" well enough for now.
> I want to return to the Hirotoshi Dojo, actually: last we saw the owner was about to duel someone who announced himself as a Dojo Destroyer, and if he's the same guy Ranma fought in his series (the images seem to indicate this), he's not exactly a pushover.

- [ ] Return to the Hirotoshi Dojo [DC 5]
> Maybe we can practice Mend some if he's injured?

Stewardship:
> Definitely go back to the magic shop; we have money to get quite a few things there this time.
> For the other one . . . well, no DK investigations here, so work on improving the stat I guess?

- [ ] Go return to the Magic Shop to buy things
- [ ] Study your maths textbook [DC 10]

Intrigue:
> I don't think we need to infiltrate Shapelyn; we know where it is, we know it's a DK plot. We can just go in as Sailor Moon and smash it.
> We know OoC where the remaining Inner Guardians are (Venus is in London, Mars will probably show up if we investigate the disappearing buses), and I don't think we can sequence break quite hard enough to get the Outer Guardians at this stage. Not much point in that action right now.
> I think Luna is likely to stay evasive about Sailor V.
> We have 2 actions here, so I guess that leaves the 2 actions I didn't explicitly say "no" to.

- [ ] Search for the Dark Kingdom's Agents [DC ??]
- [ ] Play Liar's Dice[DC Variable]

Learning:
> I see some "learn a new spell" actions. Default to one of those.
> I don't think Usagi has the Learning or the equipment to study magical artifacts (leave that to Ami and Luna).
> Or try to improve Usagi's Learning stat.

> I think I'm sticking with "learn a new spell."

- [ ] Attempt to learn a new Sailor Moon Spell [DC ??]

Luna personal:
Log artifacts is the clear winner here. It's a major known unknown that could help the team in any of several ways.
- [ ] Log artifacts

Naru personal:
> I think "train magical awareness" is the best option here. Detection is useful, and (with the mention of her exhausting herself easily), it might be worth looking into how to absorb magical energy from the environment (those barriers around DK bases are containing something, after all.
> "Practice spells" is the second (if the spell she has tires her out, I have to assume the more advanced spells in the Manual of Elemental Animation will be much worse).

- [ ] Train Magical Awareness


> Checking out the pet store is on her list, but given her power level, I'm not sure I want to send her into a suspected DK base (known OoC).

Ami personal:
> Lots of "study (artifact)" options here.
> Some "learn spell" options, but I think those are lower priority right now.
> I think either "examine Mercury computer" or "theory of spell crafting" is the best option here.

> On second thought, it looks like we're going to need to send someone other than Usagi to check out the pet store, and I think Ami is the one I'm most willing to send (she might not have the same raw power when she isn't transformed, but she probably still has more options of surprised than Naru would).

- [ ] Check out the Pet Store Perfume

Makoto personal:
> Makoto is in Nerima, which places her in a position to see things that the rest of the team wouldn't. I see this as an argument against "look into switching schools" and for "search for signs of DK activity."
> On the other hand, we still have Chen to deal with. We might not be ready to handle more.
> That Learning (magic) action looks safe.

- [ ] Try and expand the nature of your spells

Usagi personal::
> Investigation time!
> Top priority is checking out the Hino Shrine, which we know OoC is where Sailor Mars lives.
> The Pet Store Perfume seems to be on a timer, if that "corruption" roll in the update is anything to go by. It's rather personal for Usagi, but unfortunately it's also the only one that is showing up in other people's action lists. I might need to look into who we can delegate this to.
> Radio station (which we know OoC is a different Jadeite plot) is next priority.
> We definitely want to check on Chen as well.
> The clock youma also sounds like something we shouldn't leave unattended too long.

- [ ] Follow up on Rumor of missing buses near the Hino Shrine
