Sailor Moon BOT 05-Aug-22 04:16 AM
In a slightly quiet corner of Tokyo stood a lady in a frilled sailor fuku and the beginnings of something resembling magic armor, panting from a recent fight and heading for an alley to revert back to her base form, new magic artifact in hand. 'Seems the Senshi are much busier than usual. Normally they'd be springing into action to prevent me from stealing this thing.' 'Maybe that Erkha character's mad that you rejected his offer.' Came a voice within her mind, causing her to speak aloud with an angry tone. "I didn't ask you! And I'll be dead before I end up with no universe to rule over!" 'So naïve.' "And you would stand on the sidelines while someone else does your work for you?" 'No.' "Exactly!"

Constantine was only asked for two things: Keep an eye on Usagi and Chaos and earn Usagi's trust. While his colleagues were asked for demanding works such as genocides, missions that will take years, governing some governments behind the curtains until the end of their time. His work was rather simple: He was given the location of Usagi somehow to find her. Rest was up to him to figure it out. Unlike other allies of Erkha, he wasn't granted any extra abilities by Erkha's viruses even if he has one. He could have no indication of showing he was on Erkha's side because of that. His ultimate wish from Erkha was to bring her one and only loved one back to life: Zatanna Since Zatanna wasn't alive yet, his bargain wasn't complete, so he didn't have any upgraded abilities as well. Not that he felt like he needed one. He went to the location to see if Usagi was there, and she was there indeed. Erkha was really a resourceful and wise. He could even somehow pinpont the location of Usagi. He straightened his hair, tidied his clothes, ran next to him in a rush and said "Ma'am are you allright? I heard a struggle around here from the opposite of the block and got here as fast as I could! Are you in trouble?" The street light was hitting behind him as the wind waved his clothing and hair. He was lucky to have an intro this smooth to give Usagi a good first impression.

Usagi looked over the newcomer with a curious eye, and was thankful she had reverted to her regular form of that of a seemingly normal Japanese school girl, albeit one with blonde hair (a rarity in Japan) fashioned into that strange style that made her wonder how no one recognized her as Sailor Moon, and looking slightly more pale. "I'm fine, whatever it was, I didn't do it." 'You're not helping your case.' Usagi had an angry look about that, but had to keep up appearances, and thus couldn't respond to it at the moment. "You know where the nearest manga shop is? The Planetary Adventures of Sailor Galaxia got a new chapter." 'I knew you were a fan of that warrior.' "Shut up." She says the last part under her breath, unable to hold back from that slight.

"Words not holding up to each other, weird facial expressions out of nowhere, talking under her breath, being stressed like someone is annoying them... bingo! She is really Usagi, Erkha asked me to find!" He told to himself. Though unlike his expectations, the gal had shiny clothing, rather smiling wholesome face and was younger than he expected. How could she had the potential to carry such a demon inside her? He chuckled "Well I think I saw one on my way over here. Though are you sure you are allright? You dont still seem allright though. Are you sure everything is allright? It looks like the blood has left your skin!" He was informed about Usagi would like this manga series as well. Even though Chaos's power was above for Erkha's allies to get in his head to, Usagi was another story. He've been also informed about such interest, so he binged all the mangas on it and a few more mangas and animes before he came here. When it comes to Zatanna, he could take no risk nor no break.He stopped and checked his watch to see it was getting closer to 10 PM which is when the manga shops close. "Though it is getting pretty late, if we dont hurry we can miss it's closing! I surely dont want to miss!" He looked to his left and right then smiled in a charistmatic way, approaching to the woman and whispered "Between you and me! I read that manga weekly as well. I dont admit or tell that to anyone around my age since it looks weird. But the progression of Galaxia and the struggle between Galaxie and Eternal is incredibly addicting! This week they were going to finally fight right??" She then held her arm for Usagi to wrap her arm around to escort her to manga shop. With right preparation and skill, he was very confident.

Sailor Moon BOT 07-Aug-22 10:01 AM
Usagi does look to be the slightest bit more at ease, but she regardless doesn't fall for the arm wrap and stays close by John. "I'm fine, I just... got banned from another arcade, they think I'm cheating at the ball throwing games. The nerve." 'Always back to that excuse.' Usagi shakes her head, one would think in exasperation but it was actually in annoyance at Chaos. "You definitely don't look the type for manga. But yes, Galaxia and Eternum are finally going to start that fight." She says with some legitimate fanatacism for the manga in question. "Hopefully Takeuchi Naoko manages to keep her muse. I don't want to wait four years for this part of the story to finish." 'So that's why you kidnapped her husband six months back.' Her eyes roll at that remark.

John Constantine BOT 07-Aug-22 10:39 AM
Constantine put her hands on his pockets and started to walk with this girl. This particular manga seemed like a good way to start a solid conversation between them at least. Even though Usagi didn't fall for him immediatly, he convinced her to walk with him at the end. Baby steps for sure but a solid start at least. He wasn't thinking to waste this chance at all, for her sake. As they walked, he answered. "Well that's the problem with mangakas isn't it? They see an opportunity to milk the readers on and keep the fight and whole stuff as long as possible. Making their and publishers' earnings to maximum while making sure the reader is always on their edge, sure that the next chapter will continue the fight. Then it doesnt, repeat the same stuff overr and over! Still, it's a pretty good series with deep thoughts and insights in it. The arcs are well written and gives you satisfaction of reading. Even if means someone you like dies or someone you hate does. It can either make you sad or happy but one thing for sure, it never disappoints you. If he's preparing an important arc to manga like this one and needs more time to construct it perfectly, meanwhile shooting us small bites around the characters. I think those fillers become a bit more acceptable. What do you think?"
Avatar
Sailor Moon BOT 07-Aug-22 10:45 AM
"She does try to make the payoff work. Most of the filler happens in the Anime as well, since writing these takes so long." 'You still kidnapped her husband for taking too long.' She shakes her head in annoyance. "Though with how much the Senshi go about their fights against the minions of Chaos, she's never short on material." 'Very flattering, but this universe is still mine to destroy.'
Avatar
John Constantine BOT 07-Aug-22 11:03 AM
Constantine shrugged. "Eh, I think what is cool is the Chaos itself. The minions and the midfights around it is fun to read because I love the character but essentially doesnt add anything to series other than enjoyment." He stopped for a second and continued. "Hmmm I dont know if you check forums in the web but there has been a heated discussion since the reveal of true goal of Eternal. All the time we've looked like she's a baddie who wants to change reality in the galaxy to bend the galaxy over her will and rule it with an iron fist. Mostly because she is the enemy of our main character and her dress color as black doesnt help at all!" He chuckled at his joke. "But like five weeks ago right? We found out Eternal was the sole survior of her original planet while others suffered from illnesses, genocide, slavery, wars and starvation. Her name is Eternal because she was there before those and still as the only existing of her species. Her only intention is to end the misery in the galaxy by obtaining the power to change reality. Since that backstory is told by her while she was thinking to herself, there was no way it was a lie either. It kinda justifies her actions to earn the ultimate power, unlike Galaxia making sure noone reachs it to protect it from bad intensions. What do you think?"
Avatar
Sailor Moon BOT 07-Aug-22 11:09 AM
"Nice motive, yes, but Eternum is still trying to put the universe under a steel fist 'And you aren't?', and willing to commit those exact same maladies to achieve that goal." She says with the beginnings of a smile forming. "Way I see it, she's still the villain here. And last of her kind or not, no sympathy, some folks are simply doomed to die." 'That reminds me, what happened to the rest of the Lunarian peoples?' A frown formed on Usagi this time. She didn't like being reminded of the fact that, despite being a reincarnation of Lunarian nobility (like the Senshi, in fact), she was the only proper Lunarian still living. Thankfully for her, the shop came into view, the smile coming back. "There it is!" And like the teen girl she is, she ran off toward it.

John Constantine BOT 07-Aug-22 11:25 AM
Constantine was going to answer but he saw Usagi running ahead of him before the shop closed, eventually catching to her and seeing her with the mangas. He quickly grabbed two of them without noticing to Usagi and paid for them. On his way back to Usagi there were a lot of people around even if it was five minutes away from closing. People were discussing, laughing, trying to read as much as they can or just rushing to the cashier to buy their mangas before the closure. On the other side he saw 3 teenager males smirking and making weird sounds while they were looking at a manga. He raised his head above to see the section the teens were in. It was assigned to "Hentai". She chuckled and said "Godspeed you bloody bastards, godspeed." He approached Usagi who was checking the manga, showed her the reciept that indicated he've bought two of those. He smiled and said "Why read it here standing like a pleb? Let's get a dinner and read it there in a more civilized way. I know just a good, silent restaurant around the corner. And after reading it, we could fancy discussing further about the story and maybe other mangas if you read others." He smiled to give comfort to Usagi as he showed the reciept. It was a risky move to ask for a dinner to the person you've recently met. But he was trusting himself to pull it off, he must give Usagi a reason to meet him up tomorrow and he could pull the relationship furher. Tonight was the night to decide if Zatanna is going to stay dead or alive.

Sailor Moon BOT 07-Aug-22 11:31 AM
Usagi is thrown for a loop by the display, only one other person did that for her. 'You still think you can get that boy scout?' Indeed, Tuxedo Mask was going to be difficult to attain, but she was going to find a way to make him Prince Consort of their new monarchy. Anyways, she looked hesitantly at the receipt from the manga she was reading, carrying two of them in fact, one was the one previously mentioned and the other was, of all things, Hajime no Ippo. "Uhh, sure, I think. It at least gets us away from... certain people." She said with almost utter contempt as she shot a glare at three boys and even more girls at the Hentai part of the store. She spoke with an oddly quieter tone, an indication that the noise was very quickly starting to get to her.

John Constantine BOT 07-Aug-22 06:59 PM
Constantine smiled like Usagi said something funny. On his way here, he saw a fancy restaurant before he met with Usagi. It was colored with black and red with slight white stripes. He was so fucking sure the food must be expensive as fuck there, not that it was his concern. He had an unlimited debit card from Erkha specifically for that. He had to get Usagi's trust no matter what. Simple issues like money could never get into his way. As they left the manga store he started to talk. "I saw a cool place to eat before I headed my way to you in the first place. Truth be told, Im hungry as well. Also..." He held his hand for Usagi to shake. "My name is Constantine... John Constantine, great to meet ya!"
Avatar
Sailor Moon BOT 08-Aug-22 12:06 AM
Usagi shook the hand with a marked hesitance, an astute observer (or one who was already in the know, like Constantine) would notice the her eyes having a slightly red glow for the absolute briefest moment as she spoke. "Tsukino Usagi. As long as the restaurant's lights aren't too bright and the music not too loud." 'Don't want to have our minions solve that issue again?' Ever the sarcastic entity, Usagi rolled her eyes again. "I need a moment to myself though, need to make certain that no surprises come up."
Avatar
John Constantine BOT 08-Aug-22 01:46 AM
Constantine didn't mention the red change on Usagi's eyes even though he've seen it crystal clear. He just acted like he didn't. "Dont worry, the one in my mind is rather quiet and cozy place. That much, even we can read the mangas there with no worries!" He joked. "Ahhh, what do you mean? What surprises?" He raised an eyebrow acting confused.
Avatar
Sailor Moon BOT 08-Aug-22 04:02 AM
"Err, family things. Mom sometimes has a little trouble with Shingo... and also some more personal things." Usagi said, almost lying through her teeth about the family. 'A little trouble? You made him one of your minions and expected your mother to be fine with that.' Chaos stated with an odd satisfaction in its voice, causing Usagi to reply under her breath. "He chose to do that!" 'Who are you trying to convince?'

John Constantine BOT 08-Aug-22 11:03 PM
It was painfully obvious the girl was talking to the Chaos in herself. If a normal person would've seen it, they would have easily come to the conclusion of the girl being schizophrenic and needed a treatment in an asylum for a long time. Though it was no mystery for Constantine to who the girl was talking. The problem was it could be obvious for other people around as well. Taking unnecessary attention to themselves would be the last thing Constantine would ever want. He decided to distract the girl with another subject. "Ah yes, family. For most it's a great welcoming home with great memories, unforgettable bonds. My ones just threw me into some kind of church when I was 7 because of my abilities. Reminds of me Neptune's family. Did you read that spinoff? Secret Sailor Neptune fighting to eliminate the rotten Sailors who've given themselves to false ideals, surrendering under authorities or using their power for their own benefit. It was a pretty cool look at the whole Sailor lore if you ask me. Those characters were pretty interesting too. Did you read it?"

Sailor Moon BOT 08-Aug-22 11:29 PM
"Neptune of the Outer Senshi, Justiciar of the Lunarian Court. The Outer Senshi were an interesting bunch, between Neptune romancing Uranus, the Gatekeeper of Space-Time story with Pluto, and the Sailor Saturn arc." Usagi says with some clearly fond memories. "I do still wish that Sailor Saturn wasn't killed off. Such a sweet girl, not like she intended to bring about the end of the Lunarian Kingdom." As the pair walk and continue to speak, a boy younger than Usagi does come to her side and get her attention, which she then turns to Constantine. "Give me a moment. I need to... talk to my brother." Her tone makes it clear that she wasn't going to divulge what she was going to talk to him about.
Avatar
John Constantine BOT 09-Aug-22 12:20 AM
"Yeah I agree, the series show a good point..." The little boy approached Usagi unexpectedly. Erkha didn't inform him that she has a small brother specifically but he was armed to squeeze every information that he could get. He wondered if it was about, nodded to Usagi with putting his hand on her shoulder couragingly. But also planted her a listening device Erkha obtained in one of the other universes he've conquered. This way he and Erkha could hear what they were talking about. He smiled and spoke. "Of course! I'll be waiting around the corner, you can find me over there!" He then slowly moved away to the corner, checking his phone and listening to Usagi's conversation while leaning to the wall.

Sailor Moon BOT 09-Aug-22 04:03 AM
The recording device picks up the conversation well enough, even with her innate magic interfering with the signal as she and Shingo turn the corner and diaappear from sight. Some magic noises are heard over the device before the conversation starts. "New report, Shingo?" The boy responds thus, "Erkha's found the old safe house, mom's okay though, we moved to one of the others." Sailor Moon shook her head. "Good that you got her to safety. What of the Senshi? Why didn't they fight me at the museum? Did Erkha get to them too?" "No, they've been fighting off Erkha's smaller demons just fine, and from what the Youma have gathered, Erkha hasn't even talked to them or Tuxedo Mask." Sailor Moon nods. "What do you think this means, sis?" "It means you were right." Sailor Moon can be heard pacing. "Whatever Erkha's real plans are, they only seem to involve me." The noise of paper exchanging hands can be heard as well. "Orders? From you or Chaos?" "Chaos will stay out of this fight, for now. As to our ends, until I can figure out the proper spell to use the artifact to hop universes, we continue as we were with a priority shift. The fight with Erkha is our first concern, do not engage the Senshi unless you have to. And alert the Youma to this new order, Tuxedo Mask is to come under our protection." Shingo nods, "Yes sis, the subjects will be made aware." "Good. Now go back as you were." More magic sounds are heard before the sound of footsteps comes in, letting Constantine know that the pair are returning.

Heard the conversation between Usagi and his brother called Shingo with Constantine. The chaos was hiding his ability to travel between multiverse from him, it seems. So far what he knew about it was to bring the end of the universe. If that being could also travel between the universes, that could be a danger for him as well. In the end he wasn't madman who wants destroy and collapse the multiverse. He wanted it to stay healthy and stable like Rosalina did. Though he wanted his kind to rule over the multiverse, being the superior creatures they were. They deserved to live to the end of infinity, no other creature, especially not someone who is weak minded like Rosalina. Against a power like this, if it comes to that. He could cooperate with Rosalina again though. That way he could eliminate Chaos and Rosalina at the same time. Two birds with one shot. Still, as much as Rosalina was a pain in the ass, she wasn't threatening the multiverse. If there is one thing Rosalina and him agreed on, it was to protect the structure of the multiverse. Rosalina taught him that for a fact. He sat on the chair in his base in space, known to noone except his allies.

Constantine put his phone back. Seiing Usagi was concerned unlike the last time he saw her. He of course knew why it was the case but he just pretended he didn't. He was certain that in the new universe Erkha would make him and Zatanna together. He wouldnt remember anything he've done here. He was passionate on what he is doing... for the sake of Zatanna. He looked at Usagi and spoke. "Hey... ahhh... Are you allright? Is something wrong? You look like you've seen Neptune's death for the first time! Something wrong with your brother? I have some people I know that can help if he's sick, or if anyone else you know." He looked concerned. He pulled his phone again and opened the contacts, indicating he was about to call someone.

Sailor Moon BOT 11-Aug-22 12:11 AM
Usagi, for her part, did look concerned about something, and that unusual paleness from earlier had come back. She also seemed to ahake at the mention of Neptune's death, something that, whether Constantine knew it or not, she personally witnessed. She didn't turn to look at Constantine as she spoke. "My family had to be moved again, some... events meant that they were safe at the old house. And my little brother won a bet that I really wish we didn't have to run." 'I remind you, destroying Erkha is still an option' "It's not time for you to take control." She says trying to stay quiet.

John Constantine BOT 11-Aug-22 03:32 AM
Constantine acted like he was saddened after hearing it. As he started to move to the restaurant he asked. "Sorry if it's private but is it about some kind of illegal migration problem? If so I have friends who're on higher ranks of government who can help to resolve it. Lots of immigrants are let of the hook every year, Im sure adding a few of those wouldn't hurt them you know. If it's something bothering you, we can talk about it... inside." He finished as he showed the enterance to a fancy restaurant. The enterance had a red carpet and a security. He smiled and said. "Well... after you!"

Sailor Moon BOT 11-Aug-22 03:59 AM
"It can't be that, I'm native Japanese. It's just some... bad people would go after them if they knew where we were." She said trying to keep the charade going. She's a bit awestruck at the restaurant but thankful that she isn't experiencing a sensory overload as she steps inside. "Besides, I have my own ways of making certain problems... disappear." 'Putting it mildly, but technically not wrong.' "Did I ask you?" Some of the younger patrons of the place recognize her though and look at her with scorn, muttering under their breath about the girl who spoke to nonexistant voices. Seems Constantine wasn't the first to note how close she was to being considered Schizophrenic.

John Constantine BOT 13-Aug-22 11:19 PM
Constantine looked at the other patrons in an annoyed way. Though he wasn't annoyed it was a good opportunity to show to Usagi that he cared about her. Not that he did of course... His hand started turn dark for a moment as the drinks of the patrons who look at Usagi in a weird way spilled all over them. Now the rest of the restaurant was looking at them judgementally. In a classy and high restaurant like this, pouring your drink was a disrespect to the servers and others. It was meant like they didn't like the served food and drink so they'd rather toss it onto ground. His hand's dark aura was well visible to Usagi as he showed the seat they were shown to their seats. After him seating as well he talked. "Sorry for this. Thinking the classiest restaurant in the city where people would be somehow civilized. But turns out they're just bastards with much money... Money can't buy happiness they say, turns out it can't buy common sense either." He tried to smoothen the mood with a joke. The people around were either leaving the restaurant in shame or trying to clear them with waiters running around with towels and napkins.
Avatar
Sailor Moon BOT 14-Aug-22 02:25 AM
Usagi shared a light giggle at the expense of the patrons, clearly noticing the change of tone in Constantine's hand. "It can't buy any protection from magic either." 'Considering the artifacts are literally priceless~' She looks around a brief while to try and find a waiter who wasn't busy. Not seeing one, a red aura very briefly flashes around her eyes, leading to a waiter seeming to simply appear behind Constantine's seat and asking something in Japanese. Looking at him would reveal him to be almost entirely nondescript, typical waiter clothes, black hair, entirely pale skin, and colorless eyes. "He's asking what you'd like to drink."
Avatar
John Constantine BOT 14-Aug-22 03:19 AM
Constantine saw the red eyes of the waiter. "Usagi probably used the Chaos powers to hypnotize the poor waiter to obey her deeds. I wonder how she ever got together with the Chaos though. If this is her doing, it means she actively uses Chaos's powers for her sake. Not that Chaos is controlling her to hypnotise that waiter, it is Usagi's doing for sure. Maybe Chaos's power is rotting her?" He thought to himself. He smiled at Usagi and said. "Dont worry mate. I know Japanese as well." He turned to the waiter with weird red eyes and said. "I would like a slice of steak from the right front foot. Season is with soy sauce too please. Also a cranberry wine with it would be wonderful." He asked to Usagi. "Usagi would you like a cranberry wine as well? We can simply ask for a bottle you know."
Avatar
Sailor Moon BOT 14-Aug-22 03:57 AM
Usagi shakes her head before ordering for herself. "Salmon. With seishu bottle and three glasses of water." The 'waiter' turns away and goes to the kitchen. From that angle Constantine would finally see 'his' hands, clearly clawed and boney, too much so to be a healthy human. This meant one thing, this 'waiter' was not a human at all, but one of the minions of Sailor Moon (and, by proxy, Chaos), a Youma. "So, what brings you to Japan? Your accent tells me you aren't the type to come around here often."
Avatar
John Constantine BOT 14-Aug-22 06:27 AM
Constantine turned around and frowned at the so called waiter suspiciously as he walked away. He've seen Erkha's minions that his personal Necromancer created before. But this was different from them, it clearly wasn't made by Erkha. The red eyes... is it possible for chaos to create such creatures as well? The ability to end the universe and end the universe, now creating his own minions... Erkha would surely be happy to hear those. After hearing Usagi he suddenly turned back to answer her. "Sorry, I just can't stand people who shouts at waiters. Poor guys just trying to make a living serving food and they have to deal with rich babies around here just because their drinks are spilled. Especially in a restaurant this classy, people have to be rather chill and silent aren't they? Not shouting to waiters for sure!" He sounded a bit loud on his last sentence. He smiled. "Sorry, yes Im not from around. I do come here a lot for jobs and stuff. I had to learn Japanese eventually. I actually came here to investigate a curse. With a chance I can even solve it. It is been said some people are drawn through the madness to the chaos. I was just looking around for clues when I found you! This is an urban legend, people said. So I doubt its real, but still it's my job to lift curses and dead spirits!" He smiled and gave Usagi his card.
Avatar
Sailor Moon BOT 14-Aug-22 06:47 AM
Usagi put that card in one of the few pockets her school dress had. "I understand about the waiters, and normally they wouldn't be shouting. We are usually about the famed Japanese Politeness. But even we have those times I guess." She picks up on the emphasis on Chaos, and has a curious look about her. "What do you happen to know about that chaos? Other than what story info Takeuchi put in her manga?" She has a slight relaxation in her seat. "I can assure you, with the goings on of the Senshi, and the spirits in the shinto shrines, it might be a bit more than an urban legend." 'Should I be insulted at the wording or happy that you're attempting to keep the play going?' Usagi's face was briefly one of annoyance, but this passes in less than a second before she focuses back on Constantine.

John Constantine BOT 14-Aug-22 08:07 PM
Constantine laughed at what Usagi said. "I... Im sorry but even as a ghostbuster I dont believe the shit written in mangas are real. Like they're fun to read and they have a good story but that's pretty much all. They're all written by a human after all, someone's imagination. Nothing real." He frowned when he heard about the spirits. "Well as I mentioned what I heard was something something madness and chaos. So nothing specifically about chaos. People tend to name things that they dont understand huge names like chaos, ender of the worlds and more. Usually it's just an unrested spirit or a cursed spirit. Nothing that big. Spirits into shrines kinda fits the theme as well. Maybe tomorrow you can I check it together? Im a pretty good magician, I wont let them hurt you dont worry. And I would like to have an accompany of a sweet guide like you, you know." He smiled to hook Usagi into the idea.
Avatar
Sailor Moon BOT 14-Aug-22 11:40 PM
Usagi rolls her eyes a bit at the attempted sweet talking, but goes with it regardless. "Takeuchi-san does base her stories on actual events, some of the time at least. I have personally seen the Senshi going about fighting the Youma, and stopping small crimes, and Galaxia herself has even appeared here from time to time." 'Trying to avoid flattering yourself?' "But that isn't to say whatever you're after isn't just a spirit that hasn't found a shrine yet." She knew this happened in the past, mainly because such spirits were a source of many of her Youma, but Constantine didn't need to know that. "And if the fight gets desparate enough, he might show up." She refers to this 'he' wistfully, letting Constantine know immediately she could not be referring to Chaos.

John Constantine BOT 14-Aug-22 11:55 PM
Constantine's eyes popped in surprise, he leaned away from the table. Of course he knew Sailors were real. In fact they were one of the main organisations Erkha deals in space and other planets all the time. He even heard Erkha captured Galaxia to wipe her memory to obey him. But still, it was nothing more than a gossip among others. "WHAT!? Are you crazy? What do you mean those are real? They're just something a man creates on his mind. Sailor Moons of course aren't real. I mean I heard people discussing about it but... how can you be so sure? Where did you see them?"

"Lots of places here in Tokyo. Just recently I saw Sailor Mercury stop the collapse of a coal plant." 'A collapse you were causing?' "He doesn't need to know that." She whispered again before getting back to Constantine. "Heck, wait long enough into a crime and one of the Sailors, or even Tuxedo Mask himself just might show." She had a legitimately wistful look when she referred to Tuxedo Mask.

Constantine geniunely chuckled when Usagi said "Heck" instead of "Fuck". Two grown ups here, yet she was still not swearing. It was weird, funny but weird. Even though he knew the existence of Sailors she really have never seen one. They were in Tokyo and China mostly then. "Hmmm haven't they got into that urban legend about people getting pulled to chaos and madness? Also Im confused, fight against who? Who might show up?" He frowned in interest. Looking at the eyes of Usagi to hear what she will say next.

"Along with small criminals, they typically end up fighting demons, the kind our priests have trouble with." 'And your minions.' She shakes her head lightly. "Tuxedo Mask only shows himself when the situation the Senshi are in is particularly dire... or when I'm in a measure of danger." The waiter does return, with all the things they ordered. Before either can say much or ask about a check, it leaves behind Constantine, such that turning his back to see it would reveal it outright disappeared. Usagi, for her part, is already drinking some of her Sake. "They also have fought the minions of Chaos, hard to describe but powerful, enough so that Sailor Galaxia usually has to clean them up."

Constantine cut a part of his slice. Blood and soy sauce were spilling from the meat as he put it on his mouth. He sipped his sweet wine in enjoyment before he started to talk. He found the restaurant out of nowhere but indeed the cook was good. After finishing the meat in his mouth, he cleared his mouth and started to talk. "Wait. Im confused now, the thing you mentioned by "he" before is called Chaos? Is that thing also real and terrorizing around? If that's the case, maybe we should get rid of that. Wherever it is. What do you know about it then? You seem to be acknowledged about it. More than what is in the manga that is." He joked and chuckled.

"That 'he' was Tuxedo Mask. He and I have started getting involved with eachother, though he only ever appears when something decides to attack me." She is quite quick to eat her salmon, and Constantine would be able to see that, quite unlike the protocol of any restaurant, the fish was comepletely uncooked, and she was eating it with no ill effect. "On Chaos though, you can say I've had my encounters with it." 'I'm right here you know.' "From what Tuxedo Mask told me, it has plans of its own, particularly around destruction. Why though, well, no one has any idea. 'I've told you.' "He doesn't need to know." She whispered again before refocusing. "It could bw a litany of things, it could be nothing at all. I definitely can't say."

The male spying them looked puzzled when Usagi stated how she knew of it. Did he tell her in one of their encounters? It did get hard to remember sometimes.

While Usagi rushed her salmon, Constantine was taking his time with it. He ate piece by piece as Usagi talked. He was enjoying the steak as well, it had a bit much salty taste from soy sauce than he expected but that is precisely why he ordered a sweet wine in the first place. "Hmmm, so as you mentioned this masked fella ain't a pain in the ass at least for now. In opposite he's a helpful fella aint it? As long as he doesnt get in the way, should suffice for me." He sipped and ate another piece before he continued his words. "As I mentioned, the word "Chaos" was never specifically mentioned to me. But that sounds like a good place to start dont you think? Destruction doesn't sound good at all, especially in a beautiful city like this. Only if we had a lead about it..."

"Yep, destruction. It's said that at its full power it can simply erase many galaxies with little more than a thought. The thing holding it back is that it's sealed." She says as she finishes off her salmon. She's downing quite a bit of sake with almost no effect on her, though she's also drinking the water alongside. "If you want more info, well, you'd have to ask the Senshi, or the self-proclaimed 'Lunarian Queen', Sailor Moon." 'Don't pat yourself on the back now, young lady.'

Were Constantine to look in his direction, he'd notice this patron listening in with a marked interest at the mention of Sailor Moon.

Constantine was aware of them being watched all the time yet he was laying down to see the intentions of this secret fan of theirs. He was clearly interested of their lovely conversation. Though as he saw him before, he wasn't a figure he knew. Whoever he was, he was here for Usagi. Could he know that Usagi actually carried Chaos within her. If so he'd most certainly get rid of that masked guy. Maybe that masked guy was the one Usagi mentioned, maybe not. That was the downfall of the masks aint it? "Hmmm Lunarian Queen huh? Such a big name, let's hope she carries that name as well. Maybe tomorrow we can see that gal and hear more about this chaos thing. I wonder how noone has yet to uncover this mystery yet though. The another mystery is, you have a secret admirer I think." He showed Tuxedo Mask by sliding his eyes to left. He put his hand on the table, with a frown on his face he seriously asked. "If he isn't someone you know, he might be a danger for both of us. Maybe an agent of the chaos. Give me the word and I can choke him to death without moving my hand even slightest."

Usagi looks on their spy, and instantly adopts a morose face, clearly she recognized him. "Mamoru!"

The boy looks fearful as he leaves the restaurant in a hurry, having already eaten and even left a tip for the waiter, though a small movement of his hands would cause a note to appear in Constantine's hand, giving a time and place to meet in that night.

Usagi shakes her head as he leaves. "Chiba Mamoru. He's a good guy, but... something just seems strange about him." She refocuses on the topic of Sailor Moon. "She's not the queen." She then states under her breath. "Not yet anyway." 'Don't flatter yourself.' She refocuses after brief annoyance with Chaos. "She's trying to take this corner of the universe for herself. They say she's... aided by Chaos."

Constantine put the last piece of steak to his mouth and put his hand on his jaw, acting like he was thinking about it for a second. After looking at the ceiling for some time he looked back. He noticed a paper in his hand but it wasn't on his focus at this moment. He wanted to tease the Chaos inside Usagi. Maybe it can show a color. "So this Chaos being is not as might or strong as we think. Thinking how it needs a vessel. The demons I've faced were at least strong enough to embody their own body, instead of needing someone to carry their weak ass you know. Maybe we're just overestimating it. As I mentioned, people tend to like overreacting and naming stuff "Chaos", "Death", "World-Ender" and multiple names. Just because it's named Chaos, doesnt mean it is all mighty and strong you know. Hell, the urban legend I've heard probably isn't even about it! No weak being like that can be talked about that much. At best, it must be one of those weak, regretful spirits that can't pass away. Not a real threat at all!" He started to laugh afterwards looking inside the eyes of Usagi. Though it wasn't really looking at Usagi, he was looking at the Chaos.

Usagi had a smile of her own, her eyes having the faintest red glow to them. "Chaos had its own body, however, after its loss against Galaxia, it was sealed within someone of the Lunarians. It could not be properly killed, to do so would have ended the very universe, and thus the next best thing was done." The glow then vanishes. "But that's just what the story says. If you want more, you'll have to find Sailor Moon. When she isn't fighting the Senshi."

Constantine prepared to get up. "Well, I don't where they are. Unlike me you seem to be acknowledged about them. Do we have any chance to contact them today?"

"Attacking the citizens or summoning sprits or demons tends to draw at least one of them out. Not that I'd know for certain. And Tuxedo Mask... he just appears." She says as she starts to get up. "Only other thing I can give is the location of the last Shrine of Lunaria, I think I remember seeing Sailor Mars over there." 'Gee, I wonder how the last Lunarian would know that.' "Quiet, you." She says under her breath yet again.

He moved to give his credit card to the cashier to pay as he spoke. "Well, can't say I know where that is. Would you mind showing me around tomorrow? We can investigate the shrines and other stuff, if we're lucky we can even see one of those Sailors. Which I should add, I still dont believe them being real. Sounds good to ya?" He handed his phone to Usagi with add a new contact page on. He obviously was asking Usagi to give her phone number.

Usagi took a quick look over the phone and, with a wave of her hand, added her phone number and a contact picture to it. "Just don't call after 8pm. I have... therapy." 'Is that what you're calling it?' "And between 4 and 5 I pick up my brother from school."
