You wake up in the morning feeling refreshed. You yawn and stretch, ready to get on with your day.
"Makoto, I would like you to meet the third person I've found. He is a few years older than you and Mizuno, but it is still important for you to know him."
"A boy this time, huh? Is he hot?"
"What? I do not know. It is not summer, so most likely not." What an irrelevant question, you think. "Just meet us at the abandoned house after school. I will have Mizuno be there as well."
"I suppose you are a cat…alright, I'll come." She seems to find your answer funny. You will have to find out why; perhaps there is a cultural reference you are missing.
You require more metal, if you are to continue crafting. After all, if you take much more from the house it will fall apart. You have noticed this era uses a lot of metal, and as humans are detestable in their own ways, they must waste a significant amount. Thus you search for a waste disposal area, which will surely have enough metal in it.
Search Roll: 68, Req 40 = Success
It takes a few hours of wandering, but you think you have found what you were looking for.
You enter a building, hidden, and watch in awe at the huge mounds of trash being put into a huge machine. Once in there, it moves through a large metal grate, and is completely incinerated.
If you could harness this power for warfare… burning entire armies to shrieking wrecks of pain… you internally grin contently. At some point you will find the time to discover how this works.
You notice the piles of garbage waiting to be put in the incinerator, and there is indeed metal inside. this is what you came for.
You wrinkle your nose in disgust at the smell in this place. Perhaps you will not personally retrieve the metal.
You call your cats to you and they obediently come. You have slightly over a dozen sneak into the plant and take metal objects from the piles, splitting ways and taking them back to the abandoned house's basement to avoid suspicion.
It is mostly low quality metal, but metal is metal, you suppose. You will not have any metal troubles for a while now. Whenever you run low, you will just have some of your time cats steal metal from here.
One problem solved, you go to Mizuno's condo. When Mizuno arrives from after school, you motion her into an alleyway so you can talk.
"I have found another person to join us in our fight against the monsters. I would like you to meet him."
"Okay. Will you be able to teach me more magic today?" Mizuno asks hopefully. It seems she is interested in learning more magic. It reminds you of the Witch-king, in a way, as he was an adept student of the Black Arts as well. Except she has far more potential due to her own power reserves.
"I am afraid not. There is not enough time to, since as I believe you have that Cram School," you say the truth regretfully. But if she purposely gives up cram school–something she feels is very important if her actions the other night mean anything–for magic, then she will fall even deeper into your clutches.
"I see. Do you have any books I could read from?"
"Not yet." You pause. "I should go; we do not want to be late. Do you remember the way to the abandoned house I trained you at?"
"Yes," Mizuno replies then confirms the address.
"Good. Goodbye." You leap away to Chiba's house.
You get in his apartment by ringing his doorbell this time.
"What is it?" Chiba asks.
"Chiba, I would like you to meet the other two I have recruited."
"That would be the 'Bellas' I saw during the first attack?"
"Yes. I have also found one more, but she has no experience in fighting. In any case, I believe she will do fine. She has proven to be adept at the last magic spell I showed her."
"I suppose I'll come."
"Good. Follow me." You list the address of the abandoned house, then you travel there with him by bus.
Roll for Makoto and Ami not finding anything you hid: 66, Req 30, 40 = Success, no suspicion
First Impressions Makoto-Mamoru: 5, Req 30, 60 = Bad
First Impressions Ami-Mamoru: 86, Req 30, 60 = Good
Entering the room, you can see Mizuno and Makoto speaking to each other.
"Greetings. This is Chiba Mamoru, and these are Mizuno Ami and Kino Makoto." You point each of them out.
"Just little girls…" Chiba mutters, but not inaudibly to you.
"They are the same age as that Sailor Moon girl, and with my training will be much safer," you whisper back. He does not respond.
The three of them sit at the table and start chatting. At first it is safe topics, such as the weather and their various hobbies. You do not really care to listen, but they seem to be bonding. Well, Mizuno and Chiba at least. Makoto does not seem to like him very much.
"I'm surprised that a girl like you would like both feminine hobbies and yet still get into fights," Chiba remarks.
"What's that supposed to mean? You're so condescending."
"Just that I'm surprised, that's all."
Before Makoto can reply back, Mizuno asks Chiba what he thinks of something, which causes Makoto to look at her in confusion.
Before long, the topic of conversation is back on fighting.
"So as the only one who has actually fought the monsters I should be in charge here," Makoto insists.
"Ah… I guess I forgot to tell you. I'm Tuxedo Mask." Makoto looks at him in surprise.
"Maybe you should have told us that earlier!"
"Who is Tuxedo Mask?" Mizuno asks quizzically, having missed the first fight.
"He showed up in our first fight and interfered."
"I was just saving Sailor Moon. I don't exactly get a choice, you know. Besides, little girls shouldn't have to get in fights."
"You think I'm little?" Makoto stands up and towers over him. "I'm better than you in a fight."
"I don't want to fight."
"Why? Are you scared of a 'little girl'?"
"No. I don't even have a choice in fighting; I have to save Sailor Moon. There is no reason to fight you at all."
"Maybe there is."
"Uh… I've got to get to cram school! Bye Mako, bye Mamoru!" Ami runs out of the building. You let her go; if your subordinates do decide to fight then she does not need to be here as you would only have to protect her from collateral damage.
"There isn't." Chiba stands up.
"Then we should go," Makoto says, "we have no reason to stay now". The three of you leave, with Makoto sending annoyed glances at Chiba as he follows along.
"What? This is the way to the closest bus stop."
When the three of you reach the bus, a rock hits Chiba directly on the head.
"Oh I'm so sor–oh it's you," the girl says, and when you look over, you see Usagi. Strange, she looks very different in civilian form than as Sailor Moon. It is more than just the outfit.
"Watch where you're throwing things, Bun Head."
"Hey! It's not my fault the bus dropped me off at the wrong stop!" She stomps off away from the bus stop, regardless of the fact she could have just stayed and caught the next bus. Such an irrational girl.
Makoto and Chiba sit away from each other on the bus, not speaking another word to each other this day. A little rivalry among subordinates is good, but you do plan on making them be able to work together. At least they are not orcs so you do not have to worry about them killing each other.
