Lilith of Darkness

Lilith of Darkness is a character from the Dracul arc of the Sailor Moon musicals. Lilith is believed by many to be a witch. Though she seems to resent this treatment, her powers are shown to include making use of tarot cards, magic staff and chants to summon power, and she is shown to be...

Are the musicals going to be used here? o_O
 
I hadn't considered him knowing she was Sailor Moon as significant until you mentioned it. That's a good thought.

However.... I hate going this route, but what is the angle of making it Mamoru? Would our end goal be to restore a six-year old mind to an 18 to 20 year old body? Make a body for his repressed psychic self? And, Endymion didn't take Mamoru's parents away, they died in the car crash. From what Endymion told us, he wasn't fighting for control of the body, he was just the only mind left after the accident and de facto in charge. And the psychic projection could have said "he took my body". Which would seem to be the complaint.
This is one of those 'poetic truth' things.

If this is Mamoru, either he's still mentally a six year old whose mental development was in some sense arrested/frozen in the car crash, or he's been developing steadily while seemingly helpless to consistently affect events. Either way, his grasp of reality might not be fully... correct... And he would not be speaking with perfect, crisp precision of phrasing.

It's possible, even likely, that he would be speaking imprecisely. Or that he may have some degree of false beliefs about exactly what happened and how. He may believe that since Endymion benefited from the crash, Endymion must have caused the crash, for instance.

Close (Mamoru ended up brain-dead, and Endymion took over his body to survive), but the only alternative I can think of assumes Bleach is also part of quest canon (Mamoru's magic/psychic powers somehow protecting his soul from turning into a Hollow, which ignores how Usagi could see him when she and her parents are neither Shinigami nor Quincy).
Well, Endymion thinks Mamoru ended up brain-dead. But the damage to Mamoru's physical brain can't have been that bad, because that brain made a full recovery and doesn't seem to have any trouble running Endymion.exe. Obvious jokes about his ability to dress himself aside, Endymion shows no sign of severe traumatic brain injury.

What Endymion knows, assuming (as is likely) that he represented events more or less truthfully to Jadeite (but possibly leaving out suspicions of his own)... Well, what Endymion knows is:

"But I had access to my magic." Endymion says, "I managed to save Mamoru's life..." He sighs again, "Or so I had thought. At some point in the crash, I slammed my head against the roof of the car. Looking back, I can recall clearly that is the moment that Mamoru's voice disappeared from this head. Ever since... it's just been me in there."

So the obvious possibility is that Mamoru's concussion simply shunted Endymion to the forefront of their shared brain, and pushed Mamoru in the back... which duly put Mamoru in the position of being the helpless voice whispering in dreams, only with even less life experience, resolve, and magical ability than Endymion had had in the same position. Thus leaving Mamoru effectively a prisoner in Endymion's head without Endymion's knowledge, until eventually Mamoru figures out a way "out" through their shared psychic projection abilities.

Aaaat which point he projects himself as a six year old boy because he is now creating his own entire avatar from scratch and he has no more fashion sense than Endymion does. :p

Naru has to be untransformed for the blood drawing to work. Unless you want Sailor Moon to have to do the blood drawing which is the other option then to get enough blood there is probably going to be need someone else there to y'know do the shit.
Nurse Serenity could probably do this with some fairly basic equipment from a medical supply store or pharmacy.
 
We know that intelligence can continue to exist without a brain, or any other physical component, to run it.
Endymion, Serenity, Pandora, the Senshi, all continued to exist as distinct entities past the point where the brain they would have stored their memories was completely gone.
So it is possible that Mamoru is well and truly braindead and beyond any recovery, and Endymion is not actually using the brain to think.

Yes obviously.

And if he is an actual six-year old boy and not the psychic projection of a mental construct that died twelve years ago, and say... he was attacked by a magician wearing a hat who sealed his parents in a pocket dimension and took a large chunk of the boy's "self" perhaps ripping out his linker core and making him incomplete.... Then he would still talk about how the Bad Hat Man took everything from him... as something that is literally true and potentially happening to other children right this moment.

That could be an entire new villain we are getting foreshadowed, instead of a situation where we might have the dead psychic ghost of Mamoru demanding his adult body back from Endymion, and us having to figure out how to accomplish that without ruining both of their lives, since you know, we can't just kill Endymion and put Mamoru in an adult body.

But, let me see here. Other than myself in the last few pages we have... approximately ten posts accepting that this boy is psychic ghost Mamoru. Two posts that are ambivalent, and two that are skeptical. So three skeptics total against ten posts putting forward the theory.


Now, maybe I'm incapable of seeing the "poetic truth" and unable to accept things that are not concrete facts... or maybe I'm seeing a bunch of people making an assumption about who this boy is and pointing out the flaws in that theory that make me feel like it is unlikely. Like how none of us are acknowledging that Endymion, the powerful psychic able to manifest physical avatars in the world, is the one who felt Mamoru's brain die in the accident, and was not a six-year old kid but a ancient sorcerer-prince and was likely trained in this art and so it is highly unlikely that he would be unaware of subconsciously projecting Mamoru into the world or that an entire dead mind has actually been awake and watching him for the past ~12 years.

Now, if you want to discuss evidence, I could be convinced. If your point is "but it could be."... Yeah, it could be. And Mama Tsukino could actually be the reincarnation of Selene. However, there are reasons to think that it isn't, and so far the most compelling evidence that it is Mamoru is that he knew Sailor Moon's name (which we all acknowledge has been on the news A LOT) and that he is six years old.

I just want to point out to people, that is thin evidence, and his actual words could point to other, completely reasonable possibilities, and in fact do not exclusively support the proposed idea.

Endymion could be wrong... but don't you think he would have tried to find Mamoru's mind? He had magic, psychic abilities and the training to use them effectively. Endymion has never struck me as the sort to give up on a dead kid, and he would be capable of using his psychic abilities to check his own mind, in theory. So, why assume that he is incorrect about the state of his own mind?

Additionally, Psychic Ghost Mamoru, to know about Tuxedo Mask (the only version with a hat) who didn't appear until the past year, had to have been capable of watching Endymion from this subconcious space. And yet he never aged or grew alongside his body? He's still six because your subconcious voice never ages alongside you? That's a stretch and based upon nothing.

Is it possible that this is Psychic Ghost Mamoru with the information we have? Sure, it is possible, but there are far too many holes and the solid evidence we have is severely lacking in enough evidence to support this.

And, again, from the Doylist point of view, or the structure of the poetics if you prefer... it is a very very messy element to add to the story. We don't even know Endymion as a character, and we are going to add his dead younger self into the mix who is going to demand his body back? I'm not saying it isn't an interesting story, but it is far too dramatic I think, and causes unneccesary angst about bodily autonomy that we don't really seem in a good place to comment on.

So it is possible that Mamoru is well and truly braindead and beyond any recovery, and Endymion is not actually using the brain to think.
The thing is, all those people who died... They continued to exist, but their body died with their brain and they weren't physically acting on the world around them. Serenity got control of Usagi's body via the Disguise Pen, but there's no clear sign she didn't also get access to Usagi's brain. Likewise Pandora. The other Senshi have shown no sign of acting upon the physical ordinary mundane world as 'ghosts' without a body to ride in.

And given this, the problem with the idea "Mamoru's brain could be dead and beyond recovery but Endymion doesn't need that brain..." Well, the problem is that the Mamoru-Endymion system's body is working fine... and it's literally hardwired to the Mamoru-Endymion system's brain. If that brain is dead, then the question of how the anatomy works would be nontrivial.

So Endymion would, I dunno, need to be a ghost tele-operating Mamoru's corpse by necromancy or something. And doing so deftly enough that Mamoru's braindead corpse could grow up, appearing as a more or less physiologically normal human with normal biological processes.

Yes obviously.

The sensible course of action here is to follow two lines of investigation:

1) Try to find any clue whatsoever about who "Bad Hat Man" might be. We have literally no leads on this except the 'ghost boy' himself, so that's a toughie. We should still be doing it, but basically, if "Bad Hat Man" isn't someone we already know, tracking them down will take a long time.

2) Simultaneously, we should specifically investigate the 'Endymion-Mamoru' hypothesis, because that's the only specific lead we have, and it would be folly (and a betrayal of the ghost boy) if we did not pursue it in a timely manner.

Hopefully, evidence will come to light along line of investigation #2 that will allow us to either close it decisively and concentrate on #1, or open it fully and pursue it to the exclusion of #1 until and unless some weird plot twist gives us cause to realize we were wrong.

But the thing is... "Endymion-Mamoru" is our only specific suspect in the mystery right now. So it's entirely logical for us to focus on him. Because a lot of focus on him will help us devise tests and questions to figure out if it is or isn't him... But if it's NOT him, we can wrack our brains for days and never deduce the true identity of a character who is probably an original character in the first place, given the information available.

The drunk searching for his keys under the lamppost because that's where the light is is a figure of farce, of course. But if you think you might have dropped the keys under the lamppost, you'd be a fool not to search there first.

Now, maybe I'm incapable of seeing the "poetic truth" and unable to accept things that are not concrete facts... or maybe I'm seeing a bunch of people making an assumption about who this boy is and pointing out the flaws in that theory that make me feel like it is unlikely.

A fair point.

Consider: We only know what Endymion told Jadeite.

What would Endymion have told Jadeite, in that specific conversation, if he had suspicions, or even concrete knowledge, that he is (in effect) haunted by Mamoru's ghost?
 
Naru has to be untransformed for the blood drawing to work. Unless you want Sailor Moon to have to do the blood drawing which is the other option then to get enough blood there is probably going to be need someone else there to y'know do the shit.
It would be helpful to have Naru be in a physical disguise and the nurse enchanted to not see faces or similar. There should also be a powerful NDA being enforced.

Zombie's are a thing. :V
But, yes, saying Mamoru is brain dead is an overstatement, i was using the word colloquially, not in a way that is technically accurate.
Let's use persistent vegetative state and massive traumatic brain injury instead then.

I am not suggesting a method for how this works, because i don't think we have enough information to actually know.
I am pointing a potential hole in the idea that Endymion needs Mamoru's brain to work, because, they might not.
Is Endymion running on Mamoru's brain, or possessing a body that has not capacity for higher thought processes left?
We don't know, though i find it more probable that the brain is functional now (wether it was left mostly unharmed of completely mulched during the accident, we don't know).

But, to state that the damage to Mamoru's brain can't have been that bad because Endymion continues to exist and operate the body, is not a claim i feel we can make with confidence.
 
Vote closed
I know it's something we "voted" on (and I use quotes because the majority of us voted specifically because Naru was already predisposed to the choice), but I can't help but be filled with a sense of pride that Naru is stepping out onto her own path, and not standing back in Usagi's and the Senshi's shadows.

Way back at the start, we made the conscious decision to drag Naru along with us, because leaving her out was just such a non-Usagi thing to do, but I've always been at least vaguely worried that she'd happily step back into our shadows and be Usagi's friend, maybe, but decline taking part in Usagi's life as she (we) forged her new destiny. So to see her willingly step up, not as another warrior, but by doing what only she can do, it makes me giddy.

That might be partially due to it being 4am after my second day of less than 3 hours of sleep, but I want to give her a hug, an encouraging smile, and watch her forge her own path before turning back to my own work with an extra 20% boost to my work ethic and effort. Y'know?
 
I think Naru would be happy to remain in the shadow.
But the second the choice is between staying in the shadow and doing the right thing even at great personal risk, she is going to do the right thing.
And she does so knowing how fragile she is compared to her friends.

Naru is not the hero we deserve, but she just may be the hero we need.
 
Also, cynically, Naru may in the long term simply have no real option to stay in the shadows bar extreme measures (like locking herself up in the moon castle or something), as soon as her power awakened at all. Not only is her nature something that drives her (and possibly necessitates her) to interact with the wider world, but many in the world take interest in her, and even before faust, attention was drawn from forces that would have identified her sooner or later.

A quiet life in the shadows may never have been an option, even if her involvement pushed the terminal point sooner.

I agree the idea that Mamoru is completely brain-dead would be bizarre...

However, I find you to be off-base on the ideas of the mind/body split between Usagi/Serenity and Pandora/Naru. We actually have quite strong evidence that Serenity via the Disguise Pen lost all access to Usagi's mind, and to the Serenity spirit that we are supposed to be, because she had no idea what was going on. The clearest "evidence" that she had access was the hesitance she had in stepping into the street, but she couldn't speak Japanese, she had no idea who anyone was, she had no idea where she was, and she had no idea the Moon Kingdom was gone. All of the things she would "know" if she had access to Usagi's thoughts.

Even more importantly, and I think uniquely, is the case of Pandora. She actually directly stated to Mercury and Jupiter that she had forgotten about them, but that she felt she couldn't be blamed because she was dead at the time. She was explicitly aware of her thoughts while she was dead. So... something has to be strange with these reincarnatons. I think Pandora is unique in how she interacted with death, but the disguise pen certainly didn't just put Serenity in charge while keeping all of Usagi's memories, because then we wouldn't have had her running away from her friends.


Now, there is a possible explanation, though it is blurring a lot of lines and medically questionable. The brain damage could be severe enough to cause what we would normally consider brain-death, putting Mamoru in an unrecoverable vegetative state. However, the soul of Endymion was able to operate despite that damage and Endymion's mind was able to begin repairing the physical structures of the brain. We do know that the brain can adapt to severe damage, and Endymion, much like Sailor Moon and the others, would have a heightened healing factor that could accelerate that process, especially since, unlike in a normal situation, the rest of the body was able to function as normal. No Corpse Puppeting, but no mind to recover.

How do you propose we investigate the Endymion/Mamoru situation when Usagi has no idea about that situation? That information was given to Jadeite, not Sailor Moon. As far as Sailor Moon knows, Mamoru Chiba is the person in charge of that body. The only possible way to begin "investigating" that angle would be to get to know Tuxedo Mask, and hope that he eventually trusts us to tell us that he is actually the ancient spirit who possesses this body after the original mind died. Then, we have to connect that to him telling us about his psychic powers and ability to project avatars of his mind. Then we have to deduce that he was actually wrong about himself. As you can tell... that's a lot of steps to pursue #2.

For #1... we can start by asking the director of the hospital about the boy's history. Because, if he, you know, has a name and a former address and a connection to his parents disappearing then he probably isn't a ghost boy with no identification or history that just showed up in the hospital. We can then follow up on things like "he used to live at this address before (calamity)" and go sniffing around that area, see if we can find witnesses who remember the family.

To me? #1 seems like a far easier route to actually investigate, because we need to look into the Kid, not the mysterious figure, to get started on the right trail.

A fair point.

Consider: We only know what Endymion told Jadeite.

What would Endymion have told Jadeite, in that specific conversation, if he had suspicions, or even concrete knowledge, that he is (in effect) haunted by Mamoru's ghost?

That he was haunted by the ghost of the boy who used to own this body? That due to the accident they were swapped, and he has never been able to find a way to restore what was lost, so he tries to live his life as best he can for both of them.

Consider: Why would Endymion not tell Jadeite, the first person he could confide in about this situation in over a decade? One of his best friends, returned from the dead who can understand what he has gone through.

There is zero reason to lie after all. So why assume he did?

Plus, she's mutating anyway. Would be a matter of time before its noticed. Having it happen on her terms while doing the Right Thing is as good as that gets

All right, that's everything up to Monster Mash Part 6. So far, there seem to be three fairly consistent types of errors.

1. Improper usage of capitalization. The first word of a sentence should always be capitalized. Proper nouns should always be capitalized. If a word is not either, it shouldn't be capitalized.

2. Improper usage of punctuation marks. There are multiple instances of failing to put a period at the end of dialogue or a paragraph, multiple instances of putting periods where there should be question marks, and multiple instances of putting commas where there should be periods.

3. By far the most consistent error is misusing "it's". This is so consistent, I think you might not even know that it is an error. English is a stupid language so it's not your fault, but for future reference the normal rules regarding possessive pronouns don't apply to "it". "It's" is not a possessive pronoun; rather, it is the contraction of "it is". The possessive form of "it" is "its", without an apostrophe. Yes, it is stupid. Unfortunately, we have to live with it.



On a last note:
Luna, sitting on Usagi's shoulder shudders. "Definitely. Now that we're inside, I can feel just how slimy and twisted this place is."

Usagi simply shrugs, "Like I said... This place feels like pretty much all the other businesses I've been to. They all feel gross like this."

"..." Luna doesn't respond immediately to that. "We'll talk about that later.
She had said that once she managed to separate the propaganda from the facts of the book, she'd make sure to get the important parts out to everyone.
Did anything ever come of either of these? The latter I can see coming up before we meet the nicer political party of the IMO, but the former seemed rather important but never came up again.

I will try and get all of those fixed over the next few days, and as for those two -

No Luna never really sat down to talk about that with Usagi...

And as for the second I have been trying to work on that and get it done, but coming up with an entire history for a secret government is hard. It is in the works though

The wonderful thing about secret governments is that you can reinvent them at anytime you want and claim previous information was pure propaganda. :V
 
@Lunaryon

Here's the next batch, only a few updates' worth this time.
and every more of everything that you can do to keep yourself from picking at the thread

Onogoro would never let something like that happy.
Should be "happen".

Every single instance of this word in this update is misspelled. It should be "Vajra".

Should be "its".

"Is that what you think I'm trying to make you do."
Should be a question mark.

"They've fought warriors of the Doketsu zone before,

as it makes it's way back towards the woman.
Should be "its".

Seems much more like the kinds of foolish plans that you come up with.
Should probably be "kind".

"But how exactly do you plan on proving it."
Should be a question mark.

to something looser and lighter on it's feet that she is planning on running.
Should be "its".

- As the Poisony possessed woman's hands begin to glow black, lashing out,
I think just "possessed" would suffice in this case. Or if you're set on keeping her name in there, "Poisony-possessed" would also work.

In a way, it is like the woman is strapped to a bunch of bungie cords that will prevent her from touching herself. it's not perfect,
Should be capitalized. Also, this is the first instance I can recall this word used correctly.

or whoever this person really is is going to be sore in the morning,
Should be a period.

Shouldn't be capitalized.

"I'm free up, so what's the issue."

"I'm free up, so what's the issue."
As the last part of this particular update is a direct copy-and-paste of the last one, it has the same errors.

Should be "Natts'".

slamming into Cure black
Should be capitalized.

even as Neptune manages to catch the blonde senshi,
Should probably be capitalized?

The four Pretty cure,
Should be capitalized.

will accept whatever decision you.
Sentence seems to end abruptly. Maybe should end with "you make."?

Destroy me, Banish me, let me go.
Don't think this should be capitalized.

So the question is... What will Sailor Moon suggest to the two.
Should be a question mark.





To avoid double-posting:

Some of these will seem out of order. That is because most of these were collected while on my phone, and apparently SV keeps the mobile version separate from the desktop version, and it took me this long to find that out.

The Youma is nearly as all as it is wide,
Should be "tall".

the arms that are as wide as the Ami is in total
Unneeded word.

that Daisuke ha been waiting for.
Should be "has".

the demon as it's body begins
Should be "its".

Black blood spills from the creatures wounds
Should be "creature's".

adn I wanted to thank him for helping him when he was younger."
Should be "and".

for her to have magic strong enough that Inuyasha compared it to magic users of her own time...
Should be "his".

The gem stone flowers contract, closing in on themselves to become Ten separate gems placed along the back of the blade. There, right at the edge of the hilt is a glimmering ruby, then the second gemstone is a glistening Emerald, followed by a shining diamond. After that comes a shiny Tigers eye and a a garnet, then a glittering yellow sapphire. After that is a Lapis Lazuli, a pale blue Amazonite, then a purple Amethyst, and finally a piece of black Tourmaline.
This one is a bit different. Red are errors;
"gemstone"
"Tiger's"
Extra "a".

And Blue represent the improper or inconsistent capitalization, mostly of the gemstones.

and there is a sound that can best be described as a glass shattering, only with the base turned ALL the way up,
From context this should be "bass".

The Blood Blade Tessaiga is a Gem encrusted form of the Tessaiga with a thorned hilt. When wielding the Blood Blade Tessaiga, the thorns on it's hilt stab into the user's hand, drawing and drinking the user's blood. This process fills a portion of the Crystal Clear Blade with the users blood which allows for any techniques that use the user's blood to be channeled and used through the Tessaiga, as well as several new techniques which can be used via the blade. Additional abilities that this form of the blade grants to it's user is the capability to pierce through the Dimensional Veils that Youma use to hide their folded spaces, and knowledge of the location of the celestial bodies.
In order, "its", "user's", and "its" again.

Every fucking thing that Beryl said to use was a lie.
Should be "us".

47
[RESULTS UNCERTAIN, TYR AGAIN LATER]
Should be "TRY".

Is a belt that the rrevious Princess of Jupiter wore."
Should be "previous".

But Sailor Venus when Sailor V encountered him, she discovered that he had been a traitor,
I think this should be just "Sailor V"?

"She had killed... or at least, so she thought."
I think this should be followed up with "him".

After words, she was apparently inconsolable,
Should be "Afterwards".

The last time that the girl say the Dark General,
Should be "saw".

So... the dark thought worms it's way into her head.
even as the monster had it's hands
Should be "its".

"I heard you yell," Luna says, "What happened."
"Not to say that I don't believe you, but are you certain." Luna asks,
Should be a question mark.

"So you're saying that Mom is going to be okay?" Usagi asks?
I think this should be a period.

just because a different random stranger said that the attackers actions were out of the ordinary.
Should be "attacker's".

While she can't change schools until the investigation is done, but the idea of moving is becoming more enticing to the dark haired Senshi.
I don't think this word is necessary.

towards her friends house.
Should be "friend's".

and watch the fire works to make sure that nothing bad happened.
Should be "fireworks".

Kimiko isn't sure who she can trust this information too,
Should be "to".

With a grin and a nod, Kimiko Salutes the Superintendent. "Yes Ma'am!"
Shouldn't be capitalized.

"Those who Desecrate the Holy Fountains!" The White wearing Pretty Cure says, before her partner steps up, pointing at the Uzaina.
The sentence after the dialogue maintains the formatting of the Rainbow Text.

Saki and Mai look to the leader of the Sailor Senshi fora moment,
Should be "for a".

Vision and taste are the first too fade,
Should be "to".

This minuet sliver of power
Should be "minute".

They're King Oblivion is actually Azazel,
Should be "Their".

However, for all of it's frustrations,
does has it's own... difficulties.
Should be "its".

The feeling reminds her of the 'Cured Mask' that she once saw when she was younger, during one of the times that her grandfather took her to one of the other Shrines in the area.
I'm assuming this should be "Cursed Mask".

Rei stops, shelves fthe thought
Should be "the".

"For some reason, you're body is eating up close to ten times the magic that the regular person does.
Should be "your".

and over all making become tired easier because your blood would suffer.
Should be "overall".

they just became hungrier than normal,"Ami argues,
Should be a space immediately after the quotation mark.

Finally, after close to ten minutes of teasing the two Pretty Cure back and Forth, Pisard laughs at the way that the gasp and wheeze.
Shouldn't be capitalized.
Should be "they".

However... Usagi glances over to Naru, her thoughts racing.\
Unneeded backslash.

In it's own way this is
Should be "its".

crafting an image for herself that is very much not at all what magic eating girl looks like under ordinary...
Should be a "the" between these two words.

and the transformations svelte appearance
Should be "transformation's".



And now, back to where I left off:

order to restore the fountain of metal.
From context, both of these should capitalized.

but honorable and straight forward.
Should be "straight-foward".

They say that it's hidden away inside of a Chiropractor's office.
I don't think this should be capitalized.

Knowing where the place is isn't enough to be allowed in. No, there's some kind of password that you need in order to actually get in and use the service. Unfortunately, it seems that no one knows what the place is...
This seems like it should be "what the password is".

Seems that she isn't the only one whose
Should be "who's". "Whose" is a possessive pronoun, while "who's" is the desired contraction of "who has". Or "who is", but that version isn't currently relevant.

Should be "Every".

Meanwhile, Her dad sits at the table,
"Anyways. I'm trying something new for Breakfast."
Shouldn't be capitalized.

The moment that Usagi's eyes with the other girls, Ahma freezes for a moment,
Should be "eyes meet with".
Should be "girl's".

except when she is Sailor Moon perks up. the moment
Should be capitalized.

and finally the one thing that you really wanted to know about.
Should be "she".
