[X][Naru] Feed
... I mean, in a way it's helping out, right? We saw the other Youma get a huge power boost from feeding, and it seems like that's just what the doctor ordered for Naru right now (I'm aware this might not be the best option overall, but just too interesting not to try out. If nothing else, it should at least give Usagi a better idea IC of something being up with Naru).

I don't trust the, ahem, invisitext options precisely because not five minutes before even a simple spell turned out to be something corruptive, if only due to cleansing of filth wasn't done flawlessly. I believe we need to seriously look into Naru before committing rash experimentation.
I would sooner trust Rei to have a sudden transformation into Mars. That one is both plausible and definitely lacks the nastier long term consequences we might run into.
Also on the topic of Naru. Final arc of the anime has definitely set the precedent of magical girls sending their Soul away to reincarnate while leaving a corrupted body behind. This is literally Galaxia, and to some extent her minions.
If this is what happened to Beryl, then arrival of Galaxia will be, literally, sixth* verse, same as the first.
*Beryl, Ail and Ann, Black Moon Clan, Pharaoh 90, Nehellenia, and Galaxia.
EDIT: To provide my guess on the invisitext.
Presumably Feed will Drain Life energy from someone. Possibly Youma. But not guaranteed.
Presumably Command will have Naru give orders to Youma.

Interesting disparities in the numbers. When last the Senshi faced Jadeite, his combat bonus was 30, while Endymion's was 21. This time, Jadeite and Endymion are both equal at 27. Hm, one supposes that Caliburn would give Endymion a greater bonus than it would to Jadeite, seeing as Caliburn is likely attuned to Endymion specifically.

Right. Before I forget.
Feed as I said is Naru probably draining Life energy from someone. I feel it prudent to remind people that Usagi felt as almost Youma after she was the focal conduit for Life drain cram school. And that it was mentioned that people can become youma by consuming an inordinately high amount of Life energy.
Logically this implies Naru on Feed may also become Youma. I can't begin to guess if this is a good outcome, a bad outcome, or a sideways result.

Let's be real here, I do not think an option labeled feed in the plot arc filled with life energy eating Corruptive and Transmittable Monsters is going to lead to good things.

Yeah, okay, thinking past the initial impulse, I'm changing my vote.

Poor Kimiko and the bullshit-tier cognitohazards.
Hm. Sailor Moon probably now knows Haruka is Sailor Uranus, and I have to wonder how she's going to take that.
Naru still doesn't know Haruka is Sailor Uranus. Probably.
Go figure, it's the "pile in" reflex.
I'm flattered you decided to use my normalization mechanic.
🤩
Thanks!
I don't know what a Keigan is but it sounds badly outclassed in this battle. Then again, so is Ami, still, alas.
Usagi-brain crashes into cognitohazards and the result is the square root of negative purple.
With that said, it's, well, it's a good question, and the likely answer is "Tuxedo Mask realized we were gunning for Jadeite and took the rooftops himself, getting here ahead of our bus trip." As to how he got IN here, well, he apparently has some kind of infiltration/shadow teleportation ability.
SON OF A BITCH! HE'S REVERTING TO TYPE!
Let's teach him some pattern recognition.
Prioritization! With difficulty!
PATTERN RECOGNITION!
HAHAHAAA!
Yay!

Also, good thing you had more than one of those, Rei, because you expended your first exploding piece of paper on Haruka. No, we are not letting you live that down right away.
So yeah, others have spotted the invisitext by now, I'm sure. "Feed" sounds like a Very Bad Plan. "Command" might actually be crazy enough to work and would help us get to the bottom of all this Naru stuff, but might open doors we're not ready to open.
I don't think so. Usagi knows Mamoru is Tuxedo Mask she is just living in denial:
That is why her thoughts jerk away in the most recent update; she is actively trying not to think about the fact Mamoru is Tuxedo Mask and thus is likely also Prince Endymion.

poor Kimiko. She's a good woman, just... wrong genre savvy.
After all, even when looking at what we already did, the logical conclusion would be that we have power similar to hers, not that we actually outmatch her as much as we do.
And even if we were exactly as strong as she is (which is a reasonable estimate when she's the only data point she has to compare us to), we're still just teens.
And even if we were stronger... well, she KNOWS that Youma are MUCH stronger than she is. We could be twice as good as she is, and STILL be marching to our death.
All of this is, of course, assuming she doesn't know and/or has dismissed the sailor scouts rumors
uh.
Worse than I remembered from the anime.
This NEVER gets old
What a completely unexpected development!
Well, round 1 is a decisive win for us.
Also, right now Inuyasha outmatches everyone on team senshi except Jupiter.
Yeah, we can start off with our purification spells, but if these don't work we quite literally don't have a choice.
Random thought: it would have been just so funny if Venus came to us like in canon, proclaming "I'm actually the princess!" as according to her script.. and then Usagi goes "wait, I thought I was the princess!".
Sadly I think Luna might have already told Artemis...
...is this actually happening?
Is Jadeite using another magical girl as hostage?!
The denial is strong in this girl.
He is!
Ehi, we won't tell anyone if you don't!
IT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING AGAIN!
I have to wonder, if he ever capture someone on our side that ISN'T a senshi.. could he/she bluff him by starting a nonsense incantation, and have him drop us and give up the hostage for nothing?
I think he'll be traumatized enough that, if he survives this fight, he might actually fall for such a bluff!
Ehi, Kimiko's not that bad!
unawakened Rei is instead mostly useless, and add a nat 1 to that...
..uh.The woman's thoughts come to a stop as she hears a high pitched laugh. Turning, she is faced with a creature that is like something out of a nightmare.
That's new.
eh, it's probably just a minor youma
Kimiko, you REALLY have to start to adapt.
Then again, of all the people that entered here, Rei was apparently the only outsider, not counting her, so she WAS the most likely to have no power whatsoever..
Also this youma must be really weak if an 11 was actually worth an arm on fire...though maybe it has extra effectiveness, like Kagome's attacks?
ah. THIS is why the arm was such a low-roll result.
Makes sense
mh.. of the "normal" options, I'd likely go with Help.
Run is obviously not an option, and Naru's spell isn't really suited to battle.
Yet, there are obviously the two "hidden" options.
of the two, command is probably the safer one... and yet, if there's a time to try "feed", it would be when we're close to our purification magic experts..
eh, why not.
[x][Naru] Feed
I might change my mind later, but right now I just hope to jog Naru's memory some more, and possibly give her a power-up.

"Feed" means either "try to eat the youma," "try to channel some kind of dark-themed magic into the youma" or "go full Dark Kingdom and backstab her allies to empower the youma," depending on how dark things are. I'm guessing it's the first or second. The second sounds like a bad idea unless feeding it makes it imprint on Naru or something. The first might solve the immediate problem, but would probably create more problems immediately afterwards.
"Command" sounds fairly self-explanatory; Naru draws on whatever aspect of herself got all huffy at Beryl and thought of her as a usurper or a mockery or something, and starts shouting orders at the youma.
If Kimiko happens to have been looking in the right direction, she knows that Sailor Mercury is a bluenette schoolgirl, about 13-15 years old, seen while being held at an awkward angle in bad lighting by a terrorist. Not enough for good visual ID, unless maybe by sheer chance Kimiko was on the same bus Ami was on and Ami disappeared specifically from that bus and Kimiko was even paying enough attention to recognize her while they were on the bus.
Note that "bluenette" is NOT good enough to get a reasonable visual identification on an otherwise unknown girl (plus in this lighting Ami's hair may look just generically dark). Of the... I'm going to casually estimate twenty or so female characters we've seen on screen so far, three have blue hair (Ami, Akane, and Usagi's mom). There are easily thousands of girls of Ami's approximate age, build, and hair color in the greater Tokyo metropolitan area... and it's 1992, so it's not like the cops can just quick-sort through a digital photo database or whatever.
Also, Word of QM yeah.
I know right? Time to reconsider his life choices.
Yeah.
It looks like Usagi is, to borrow vocabulary from a different blonde demon-hunter's series, "Buffy-thinking" her way around the cognitohazard effect in real time, coming up with different sidestep mechanisms for the "Mamoru cannot possibly be Tuxedo Mask" problem each time.
True. Though we may be able to rely on Kimiko's discretion, and...
Well, I gather that in the manga when Mars awakened, she killed Jadeite. Straight-up burned him to death. Given that there's considerably more hostile magical girl firepower rattling around this time, he may not be getting out of this alive.
I mean, let's see, we've got Moon, Mercury, Jupiter if we can find her, and Neptune. Depending on Haruka's gender identity, Haruka counts as either a magical girl or an honorary magical girl, the latter category also encompassing Tuxedo Mask. Inuyasha doesn't count as a magical girl, honorary or otherwise, but is still carving through the bastards like a goddamn thermonuclear weedeater anyway. Kimiko, Naru, and Rei so far count as half a magical girl each, with an option on awakening to greater power for Naru and Rei.
So... minimalist answer, 3+2+1.5 equals six and a half magical girls (including honoraries). Maximalist answer, 4+2+2.5 (including finding Sailor Jupiter, honoraries, and awakenings) equals eight and a half.
Jadeite either gets the fuck out right now or he is in very deep doodoo.
Prowess 27 has got to be worth something under the hood, I guess. On the other hand, your heavily overweight hostage is going to be a bit hard to hold without tearing; a man's neck can't take that kind of weight, for instance, nor will his clothes from many angles.
Oh, also, Jadeite was punching at Prowess 30. Unless he's still weakened by the injuries Pretty Cure inflicted on him about, uh... four days ago (unlikely, he must have some source of magical healing, surely?)... Well, I think we know what Caliburn's worth. Namely, +3 Prowess, +3 Martial, or some partial combination of the two.
I mean, honestly this version of Usagi would probably just keep going. She seems inhibited about her attraction towards girls, at least a bit, but she's sure as skippy not confused about it. If anything I'd expect it to go the other way around, based on her portrayal so far. Imagine the crossover:
