The two of you each nod in agreement with the other's plan and each of you go your separate ways.
By the time you return to the arcade it is just starting to close down. As the last patrons, two red haired and one blonde girls, walk out you slip in unnoticed in your feline form. After hiding in the shadows until the arcade's sole went upstairs, you close your eyes and expand your senses looking for the magical focal point Artemis would have had to set as a power source.
The focal point is easy enough to find, it's contained within one of the Sailor V game cabinets and distantly you notice that the screen is keyed to your paw print, with admin privileges, and the sailor wands. However the other things you notice draw most of your attention, the rapidly fading trails for the last girls contains a foul mixture of unsettling magics and worse still, the moment you begin to probe mixture you become aware of a… THING, unfeeling and magically dead, standing right behind you. In the space of a single tense heartbeat, you spin around ready to activate Spaltbeil, when the presence fades away leaving no trace of its existence behind.
'What was that… it wasn't at the shrine so it either noticed me while I was walking here or it was waiting here. It didn't feel anything like anything I've felt before…'
After checking again to make sure the THING is no longer present,you press your paw against the cabinet's screen causing space to warp around the machine revealing a flight softly glowing stairs which lead to a crescent shaped bank of lunar computers and technology.
'Artemis out did himself with making this place, because of the dimensional offset I should be able to just move the focal point to move the entrance.'
None of the systems have been activated since Artemis and the Sailor he found left, so you spend most of the time before Rei is set to arrive setting a signal to notify Artemis that you are attempting to contact him. Just as you finish, one of the monitors pulls up a video feed showing the outside of the arcade, where Rei stands impatiently tapping her foot. With the press of a button the door slides open before her and with another instructions appear on the appropriate game cabinet. She walks into the base as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
"Did you convince your Grandfather?" You ask as she descends the stairs.
"I did, I told Grandpa that you were a messenger sent from the Plains of Heaven to reveal my destiny. He actually suggested to add you to the shrine before I could. You're officially a Nekogami and have full access to the shrine. "
" That will work, I can move the base when we are finished for tonight. We should start by getting acquainted with your Sailor powers."
Without further prompting Rei draws her wand and shouts. "Mars Power, Make Up!" In a flash her clothes are replaced by the suit of a Sailor.
Silently she looks down at her own body, experimentally clenching and unclenching a fist.
"The power that you are feeling is Mars' own strength coursing through your body, enhancing it. Now, reach into that power and say the words that come into your mind."
By the time you finish she is already clasping her hands together with her index fingers extended focusing her magic into a point. A burning stream of fire erupts from her fingers as she says the words "Fire Soul."
"Good, that should be one your primary offensive spells."
You move on to cover the various abilities she now possesses, letting her practice them and you offering insight in the ways she could potentially use them. Eventually you are interrupted by a resonant crystalline tone emanating from the computers.
The familiar signal brings a smile to your face and catches Rei's attention. "That would be our comrades Artemis and another one of the Sailors."
Activating your end of the call pulls up a screen above the computers showing a white Mau and a girl in an apprentice sailor uniform. Rei gasps at the sight of the girl, and for a brief moment a look of admiration passes across her face.
"Luna it's good to see you awake again." Artemis says with cheer, "I do believe some introductions are in order. I am Artemis, and this is fine young lady is Sailor V."
"You're THE Sailor V?"
" The one and only!"
"Luna," you plainly state, "and this is Sailor Mars. Do you have any news of the Dark Kingdom or the Princess?"
"Right to business as usual… We're still in pursuit of the commander Danburite but we are getting closer, neither hide nor hair of the Princess though.The Juban district has a strangely high concentration of magic so it should the best place to look. Also with all of the plots we defeated in Japan a higher ranking officer of the Dark Kingdom might be active in the area, so try to stay safe. And whatever you do keep an eye out for monsters in strange pocket dimensions I nearly lost one of my legs to one which- "
"On my end, the base entrance has been compromised, an unknown entity was waiting for me to open it. It fled after I noticed it though. I'm going to have to move now. I think that is everything, and it's good to see you too Artemis." You end the call just in time to see him sputter in reaction.
"How much longer do you have until you have to return home Rei?"
"Not much longer, I have duties to perform in the morning and school to attend."
"Then, I have one other topic I'd like to tell to you about. " You say as you look for to Rei
"Well, what is it? "
"I was thinking about the wards that you made, they are part of your religion and they have deliberate magical abilities. So, logically at least some other elements should have magical applications. I want you to try tapping into your magic while using an implement or performing a ritual."
"Makes sense, I'll attempt that tomorrow. "
Together the two of you leave the base. As you exit, you turn around and push your hand though the screen grabbing onto the focal crystal before heading back to the shrine.
At the Shrine you fall asleep in a comfortable spot in front of a slightly magical flame.
Plans for tomorrow.
Pick 3 for now.
[] Look for Sailors/knights/the Princess
-[] Look for what quality?
[] Do Some Research
-[] What?
[] Investigate that magic you felt at the arcade
[] Scout for Dark Kingdom Plots
[] Confront the Crows
[] Write-in
Side note: things that I learned today, Moon rise and set makes no sense at all, so I'm going to ignore it.
