Regardless of what you were in the middle of, you and your familiar have been magically pulled into the world of Avalon just above the Bay's waters. After a brief plunge into the Bay, the rush of water filling your ears and soaking up into every creak and crevice of your body, you may need to cough to clear your airways when you rise above the surface. It's still chilly, but not enough that you can't manage on your own. The Lady of the Lake is swimming around under the water, helping to rescue any wayward travelers who look like they're struggling in the water. This month's helpers are giant pillow jellies, a species of jellyfish that is capable of ballooning itself at the surface to create bouncy pads for characters to hop across to the shore, should they choose or not be able to swim. They come in a variety of bioluminescent colors, but do not seem to be very talkative even to animal magic users. Those who try may find themselves being ignored, even if they hear the jellies talking amongst themselves about this and that. If anyone tries to ask the Lady of the Lake for directions, she will direct you to Archimedes at the Rent-a-Ride. The shores themselves are littered with new arrivals complaining their way up a staircase carved into the walls of the White Cliffs. There is no railing, so be careful, but if you do fall, be prepared for a mysterious sand hand to reach out of the side of the cliffs to catch you. The hand will pat you atop the head twice before retreating back into the wall. This is the Cliff Beast; despite the name, he is quite friendly. *Reminder: Your character's familiar may or may not be with your character in their initial plunge. If the familiar isn't partial to water, it may meet your character on the beach or sit atop their head while they swim. Or if they are, they might splash about and swim alongside your character. Familiars have different personalities and body specs and we leave those up to the players. B ⦿ The Caravan to Camelot Once everyone is wrangled up to the top of the White Cliffs, the handsome owner of the Rent-a-Ride, Archimedes, will distribute smart phones and a pair of special ear buds (the supplier was out of the regular ones) and tell them to "Check the Shit Box." The "Shit Box" refers to wardrobe more formally known as the Wardrobe of Finding, a hammerspace-like wardrobe that opens to each person's items and pets when the person touches the handle. It was recently enchanted by Merlin to prevent people from having to fish their waterlogged possessions and pets out of the water with them. From there, Archimedes directs everyone to settle in groups into modernized carriages pulled by horses and gives them a basic explanation of why and how they've been brought to Avalon: The rest of the universe is frozen in time and your character has been brought here by a familiar that was able to bond with them. They'll have to learn magic to help save their own world from destruction, but first they've got to get them to Camelot. It is here that you have the first opportunity to decide who they will be in their new home. You'll have about an hour to wander around here, meet and greet, and pet the horses before it's time to go. These carriages use fae technology that combats weight, so your character will be able to get in regardless of whether they're light as a feather or weigh two tons. The carts have air conditioning when it's hot, heating when it's cold, and a mystical shield to protect from bugs. There is also a mini-bar that pops out of the console with nip bottles. Characters can use their smartphones to connect to Camelot's internet service, avalononline (AOL), to chat with other characters, watch dumb videos, learn about the world, contact Camelot Support (they'll answer any questions they can for you, from how to use a smart phone to where to find quests and resources to learn more about your magic). Be careful if you decide to use your phones while in the caravan-- if you don't use those earbuds and start forcing everyone to listen to your nonsense, Archimedes may make you walk. C ⦿ The Red Spring The journey from the White Cliffs to the City of Camelot is a long one, and the first evening you arrive you'll end up spending at the Red Spring, a booming resort town. Because of the volume of new arrivals and vacationers, inn rooms are assigned two-to-a-room. The rooms have two twin beds, a bathroom, a mini-fridge and microwave, and a TV equipped with a couple of entertaining video games and a few free movies. If you don't want to relax in the room, try taking a dip in the spring for another chance to meet your fellow travelers. The waters have restorative properties that help horses and travelers recover quickly when drunk. It is known to relieve stress, improve energy levels, and mildly accelerate healing. It may be a little chilly when you get out though, so make sure you don't slip rushing back indoors when you get out! The springs are also home to a large training grounds just outside town limits, where there are teachers who will teach basic magic safety and help you discover what kind of magic you have together with other new arrivals. Try target practice, obstacle courses, meditation circles, and other ways to try to figure out just what you can do... if you didn't already have an accidental discovery on the ride there. After the new arrivals come in, they'll find that this month they came in on the middle of a rather tumultuous time... people are arguing and debating about a future decision to be made. King Arthur recently tried to negotiate with Celliwig's people to open the doors to Camelot, but they refused, and the people have been left with a decision: 1. attempt long-distance, slow wooing of Queen Elphame via the Elphame Traders of the next couple of months, 2. attempt to prove a balanced and deeper understanding of the need for both pure and impure hearts by suggesting an acceptance of trials from Celliwig, or 3. band together under Camelot's flag to invade Celliwig. Celliwig is a place of communication between Elphame and Camelot that bypasses the need for weeks of dangerous, often fatal travel, so the choice is very important in regards to how Camelot both presents itself to the fae people in the future. To that end, people with strong beliefs about particular choices have arranged gatherings to draw people in to hear their perspectives on what the choice should be. A ⦿ Honey Over Vinegar A wide variety of people have sided with this group, including the Elphame Traders, as cutting Celliwig off from them would mean a much harder journey each month to the city of Camelot. (Though commerce always does find a way.) This group is hosting a Tree-Picking Tournament! Of course, the trees to be picked are out in the farmlands, and members of the lobbying group will be giving people free one-use Farm Totems to get to the tournament. The trees in this grove are a little different than normal trees, however. For one, they don't bear fruit. This is Camelot's cookie orchard, composed of special fairy tree hybrids that grow a variety of sweet treats on their branches instead of fruits. There are your usual chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies, but also little puff-like wedding cookies on bushes or checkboard cookies blossoming out of stems instead of flowers. There are even some trees that have clusters of miniature French macarons! The best part, at the end when you turn in your cookies for the count and get your participation prize (and bonus pamphlet about how slow and steady wins the race), you can totally keep and eat them, so be careful not to drop them! How you get them down from the tree is up to you, of course. Try some magic, or maybe just some regular old tree-shaking will do the trick.. just be careful you don't accidentally knock down any wasp nests. Those stings will hurt bad! B ⦿ A Balanced Approach The party of people who want to try to woo Celliwig over to smooth things over see this little political gathering with cookie-based bribery and quickly fashion their own event to make sure the fanfare isn't all for just the one idea. To gather people in to hear their side of the story, this group has decided to host a bug catching contest! Head out into those flower fields between Camelot and the Red Springs that are now thriving thanks to April's plentiful rains. Whether you use a net or figure out how to use your magic to get the bugs, it's how many you catch, not what kinds you catch that count-- so make it fast and make it plentiful! And at the end of the day, what you choose to do with your captured bugs is up to you. Crush them or free them, keep them or eat them, whatever it is you want to do... ultimately, all moral choices are valid, right? So let's go along with what Celliwig wants! Don't forget that May is the season of the frog, however, and you'll be in competition with a variety of sentient and wise members of the Frog Tribe, a group of bipedal frogs who live in the southernmost part of the lake and come up to the flowerfields to stick their tongues out for some delicious bug treats. They have no problem sticking their tongues right into your captured bug nest, hopping on heads to steal your catches, and do all kinds of crazy interferences like snipping belts and tonguing ankles to trip people. You may want someone to watch your back for this event, lest you get done in by a hopper. C ⦿ A Show of Strength The more war-hungry citizens of Camelot seek to go to war. This whole issue will be over if Celliwig itself isn't the one in charge of communication and it's just made directly between Elphame and Camelot, rather than having a mediator who refuses to mediate. They believe that a show of strength is the only way to solve this problem, and as such, they'll be demonstrating that the greatest rewards come from strength by organizing an expedition to a cave at the base of the Ash Mountains. Taking a path squarely between the Dusklight Woods and the edge of the Lands of Rot to the base of the Ash Mountains, this expedition will lead into a cave known as the Giant Cave. It's a pretty on-the-nose name, since it really is a big cave. One of the cool things about this cave is that it's filled with geodes. Those who have enough strength can use provided pickaxes and drills to dig up their own crystals and gold, both great for jewelry and enchanting. In particular, there is a large amount of: • Rose quartz: dark mages can make their love spells much more powerful and healers can use this to enhance spells that soothe anxieties and self-doubt • Amethyst: siphoners increase the potency of counter-curses and light mages will find this stone makes their hard light shields stronger than ever • Agate: strengthen cognitive abilities like post-cognition for a clearer picture of what happened by enhancing perception, and death mages will find they're able to extend their possession times by about 30 minutes by using an agate to stablize their aura • Moonstones: will increase navigation as a traveler's protection for kinetic users-- no longer will you risk tripping over a rock while going at enhanced speeds, or can be traded to fairies to potentially bring down a steep price to something more reasonable • Black tourmaline: a crystal that shields from opposition/negativity-- for technomancers and elementalists, this means that technology is more likely to side with them over another technomancer, or elementalists will find that when using opposing elements, theirs will come out stronger-- like water vs fire, electric vs rock, etc. • Hematite: can soothe blood, leaving it a good tool to enhance animal and blood magic-- animals may trust you more readily by having a calming effect on them, and blood mages may find that they heal more readily after using their abilities • Boji stone: alchemists will find that this is a good stabilizer for for particularly volatile potion combinations, and the properties of this stone leaves green mages to sense new types of plants they haven't yet encountered in passing, even if they're not looking at them It's not particularly a contest in this case-- you can keep and use what you want, and this show of strength has given you more power than ever, so why not consider the same concept for how to deal with our unneighborly neighbors in Celliwig? It may be sweaty business, but surely hitting some rocks will show you the value of strength! With the surprisingly tame day in the Giant Cave, one would think that the Ash Mountains were something of a safe place. No one really bothered the travelers, but that's because no one had been home at the time. as it turns out, the Giant Cave is home to a giant... douchebag of a minotaur. Not a giant, despite the name. His name is Simon and he doesn't like to share, and now that a bunch of people have gone and taken his rocks (he didn't even know there were crystals inside, nor does he do anything with them). Now he has to take his revenge, regardless of not knowing who actually took the crystals that were never really his to begin with, they just happened to be in rocks near where he sleeps. A ⦿ A Stone's Throw from Revenge The minotaur is a very instinctive creature, and his instincts say that the people of Camelot, the nearest settlement, are the ones who need to be punished for this. He uses his superhuman strength to drag huge rocks and boulders all the way to the north-east edge of Camelot, seemingly for no reason, until he's got practically a wall built. At which point he starts picking them up, spinning, and then vaulting the rocks into Camelot's buildings. You may find yourself inside of one of those buildings and scrambling to check if everyone and yourself is okay, or perhaps you're rushing out to stop the minotaur from throwing another. Either way, it's a sudden attack and you're going to have to act fast. Trying to attack the minotaur will be difficult, since it has superhman strength and durability, sharp horns atop its head, and can smell you coming from a mile away. Get creative, and stop the minotaur before it's too late! B ⦿ There's Safety in Numbers Once the minotaur's attacks stop, it flees to recover its wounds, promising it will come back to destroy Camelot once and for all. It's a time for reprieve and to help clean up the damage. Use your magic to help clean up broken buildings and structures, or heal and help others who were injured in the sudden, mostly unprovoked attack. Many of the uninjured citizens will be going around town and providing drinks, towels, and cups of noodles to those who are helping out. Because of the impending threat of the minotaur's return, it's recommended that otherworlder's use the (Recipe) Buddy System spell. The way they explain it, it's a spell designed to alert your buddy if you're in danger and lasts about an hour. The way it actually works is you must be touching your buddy in any way at all times for the next hour. Unfortunately, it seems like the volunteers sharing the recipe may have missed that it was created in a kindergarten class, not for adults. C ⦿ Gross Thankfully, the Buddy System wears off before the Minotaur is back for round two. When the Minotaur returns, the castle has since gathered forces to the edge of town to defend it from another attack. It's unclear where the Minotaur went to get healed, but whoever he went to apparently had some advice, however, and the instinctive minotaur gave into a different instinct for part two of his revenge. Rather than go right back to his pile of rocks, he instead travels the day to get to the southernmost part of Camelot and barrels into town unopposed, as most of the troupes are where they had thought he would come from again. After all, minotaurs are not known to be big thinkers. Instead of violently destroying this time, however, the minotaur instead heads straight to lowertown's well-- and takes a pee in it. It turns out, not only does he have a giant-- ahem, but he is a giant dick as well. Now the entire lowertown has to be evacuated due to contaminated water up to other areas of Camelot. Many people who live there are relocated to live in extra castle rooms. After all, Minotaur Urine is known to be incredibly potent and stinky. Mages who are able to handle the smell are asked to come help perform a ritual of water purification for the lowertown's water system. This ritual involves multiple groups of people performing synchronic magic, a magic type that requires you to be in perfect sync with your partner. Draw a special ritual circle with four candles at equidistant points. Chant a spell in sync with your partner, and blow a special powder made of ground jasper, charcoal, and rosemary into the center of the circle. It will be drawn into the candles' flames and with enough people doing this, all impurities will be removed from the lowertown's water and dissipate into the atmosphere. KEY POINTS New arrivals drop into the lake and have to climb up a cliff to the Rent a Ride, where they are given their device and some headphones and can retrieve their personal materials. They travel to Camelot, which is a multiple day journey, so they stop at the Red Springs along the way and stay at an inn there. There is a vote pending for Camelot and each side of the issue is trying to engage otherworlders to their side of the vote. The slow/steady approach is hosting a cookie harvesting tournament from a grove of cookie trees, the middleground group is hosting a bug-catching contest, and the group that wants war is hosting a mining expedition. The mining expedition aggros an asshole of a minotaur, who throws rocks at Camelot. Driven away, the townspeople try to help by distributing a spell called "Buddy System" which binds two people together, not realizing it was intended for kindergarteners. (Oops.) The minotaur returns and pees in the lowertown's water, so a ritual of water purification must be performed because it's gross and stinky. The minotaur is still at large. **** The above key points are a new feature we're going to start including on TDMs and Events.

Mamoru Chiba | Sailor Moon | Light/Green | Skvader familiar

[reincarnatedprince]

Soaking in your arrival

[After being revived in the Galaxy Cauldron, the first thing Mamoru expected was not dropping into a lake. Not the most pleasant of arrivals, he has to admit, but instead of going into a panic he remains calm and heads towards the shore. The jellyfish seem to be ignoring him since he can clearly handle himself.

On the beach, a hare awaits. It looks normal at first, but upon a closer look, the bunny has the back, wings and tail of a bird; some kind that Mamoru didn't recognize.

While the hare didn't talk, it seemed Mamoru was able to understand that they were somehow connected. He could pretty much tell what the creature wanted to tell him - which was definitely strange, but not really the strangest thing to ever happen to him.]

I see. So I should head for the cliffs. Thank you.

[The hare nods and then spreads his wings and flies off for now. Mamoru watches after him, but then focuses on the journey ahead.]

Right. I really hope I can find Usako and the others.


Red Springs A

[After a while of experimenting, Mamoru was able to determine at least one of his magic types. It wasn't that different from what he usually had. Really, all it took him to figure out was to try the same pose as Tuxedo la Smoking Bomber and he made light happen.

It's the secondary type that he has yet to figure out. He's tried variety of the given magics to see what would work, but nothing so far.

Someone should probably notify him that there are roses behind him, looking at him expectantly as he tries to figure out different magic methods. Strange, are there even supposed to be roses on this training field..?]


Red Springs B

[After a long day of working with magic and trying to calm down roses that were strangely attached to him for some reason, Mamoru takes a nice and relaxing bath at the springs. While he's not the most muscular type, he's still a sight for the sore eyes, definitely. A handsome man.

But very, very awkward if anyone who isn't a guy walks in, just as a warning.]


Honey over Vinegar

[This is definitely a good way to practice his green magic. He's using it to coax the trees into gently dropping any of its... fruit. He has a nice basket full of sweet treats already from a few of the trees.]

Well, money doesn't grow on trees, but apparently cookies do. [He says to someone nearby, to just start a conversation.]


Wildcard

Something else? Something else. Hit me up in PM's or sasageyo for plotting if you want.

Honey

[konpeito_aji]

[Seriously, Nobunaga does kind of mean to win this... but he's still eating his cookie ahead of time.]

[Om nom nom.] You can't eat money.

[Derp.]

[reincarnatedprince]

Well, no. It's just a saying anyway.

[Though if there are cookie trees, somehow he wouldn't be surprised to see actual money growing on trees.]

Do they taste good?

[konpeito_aji]

[Nobunaga literally is still in the process during his time of getting Japan on a unified currency, so this isn't completely a saying he knows at all.]

[But he nods and beams!] You haven't tried one yet? There's so many kinds!

[It's basically why he can't hold off just yet...]

Soaking in Your Arrival

[phoenixwiz]

(Harry has been checking around for anyone who shows up and is on standby to check if they need help in getting dried and climbing up to the Cliffs. Rose is chilling inside his jacket pocket as usual when he sees a man all soaked up and a hare with bird parts nearby on the shores.

Wanting to make sure that they are okay, he comes to them with towels in his arms.)

Oh hello there, are you and your familiar okay? The plunges into the water can be disorienting at times.

[reincarnatedprince]

[The hare familiar is definitely dry. He looks over at Harry and nods as a greeting, staying quiet as he is.

Mamoru on the other hand, smiles at him gratefully.]

Yeah. I was the only one who got the water treatment, but I'm fine.

[phoenixwiz]

(Phew, thank Merlin that someone was able to handle the water landing very well. For a minute, he almost got so worried. He recalls that his arrival was not exactly the smoothest of all arrivals with him getting slightly oriented for a moment and needing to save Rose from possibly drowing.)

Well, that’s good to hear. When I first came here, I didn’t expect to find myself trying to swim for my life and it did caught me off guard for a good while. Not the best landing I can think of, but at least I got out of the water in the end.

Red Springs B

[gunlord]

[Thought his abilities were alchemy and technomancy, it still seemed to be incredibly hard work to try and master them. The technomancy he wasn't working on as much as he was alchemy and that required a lot of reading and experimenting.

Good thing he loved to read and studying was definitely his forte. Still, it paid to also rest and mentally recharge. So, why not try the hot springs again? Although, he hadn't quite expected another gentlemen to be here. Not that he thought the springs would already be devoid of anyone wanting a dip, honestly he wasn't sure why he thought they'd be empty! Still, he had been in Ymir before and tried their hot springs with the rest of his (male) classmates.]

Ah, my apologies. For some reason, I didn't really expect anyone else in here. I hope you don't mind someone else joining in?

[reincarnatedprince]

[Mamoru looks up and offers the man a polite smile. He had expected there to be more people around, but then again, this wasn't Japan where hot springs were pretty popular. Or a school trip where all the guys were in at the same time.]

I don't. I wouldn't be in a public bath if it bothered me someone could walk in.

B Springs I'm so sorry

[hit_by_a_plane]

[ Well, as much as Mamoru was relaxing, he'd soon hear someone enter the hot springs with a hiss of discomfort... followed by a sigh of relief... ]

...Hrmph. At least these humans have some thing worthwhile. Least they could do after dumping me in a lake--

[ As well as an oddly familiar voice- though perhaps with a more nasty tone than he was used to. ]

Have you ever heard of the expression 'don't look a gift horse in the mouth'?

Shut up, you damn crow.

[ There was a splash of water, and a distressed caw before the flapping of wings followed, and the young man glared sulkingly as his familiar took off. Damn bird... why did it need to be a crow? He hated crows... ]

please don't apologize this is brilliant

[reincarnatedprince]

[That voice is definitely something that hits Mamoru a little different. He slowly turns to look at the man. That was... definitely Jadeite. Though judging from his mannerism there was a high chance he was under Queen Beryl's command, still. Or someone else's.

At least whenever he fought the four he was usually Tuxedo Mask so he wasn't at the risk of being recognized as an enemy.]

Careful, you're going to be working together with your familiar for quite some time.

[hit_by_a_plane]

[ You're in luck, Tux; Jadeite didn't recognize Mamoru, though something about his voice did... make him pause, turning to look at the other man with a mix of contempt and curiousity.

That voice made him feel like... it was somewhere between annoyance ...and emotion he couldn't place, so he just settled on annoyance. ]

Don't remind me, human.

[ Sighing in frustration, he ran his hand over his blond hair- and having a proper look at him, Mamoru could see... huh. The guy looked pretty banged up and bruised. Wonder why? ]

I suppose if the world is to be restored, we'll need to play along with this little charade, hm? Just my luck...

[ All he cared about was getting back to Queen Beryl and redeeming himself. He couldn't do that if the world was frozen in time and space, right? After all, it was his Queen who was supposed to rule over the Earth... and she couldn't do that in this state. ]

Red Springs A

[tantailizing]

[Mamoru might see someone watching him warily at the Training Grounds... or maybe looking past him with a hand on their sheathed weapon.]

[It's no offense made towards him, but his tail is swinging back and forth warily and blue eyes narrow. They just had the whole ordeal with the vines and flower; he'll nip this in the bud hopefully if it turns out the same.]

[Slowly, he's making his way over, still watching the roses.]

[reincarnatedprince]

[The roses are shaking in fear. Not really visible to Zidane, probably, but Mamoru can feel something is off nearby. He's rather tense over Zidane approaching where he is already so he seems a bit stiff.]

Hello?

[tantailizing]

[Zidane's still watching the roses warily, hoping they're not just gonna latch onto the guy with their thorns. That'd really suck...]

Hey, you might wanna move away from those bushes.

Honey Over Vinegar

[forgeabettertomorrow]

...Huh. You know, I never thought magic like that could be useful until this exact moment. Seems a hell of a lot more useful than what I've got at my disposal.

[reincarnatedprince]

What kind of magic do you have? Most things can be improvised to help you out.

[He asks the tree to drop some fresh cookies for Darin while at it, because why not.]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Healing and...well...blood.

None of which really seem applicable here.

[All the same, Darin holds his basket out in thanks.]

Hey, thank you!

Soaking in Your Arrival

[roseeclair]

[Diiid somebody say "and the others?" But no really, Makoto went down to the shore like she did last month to wait on people from home, or just help people who might have a hard time as they get to shore. But as Mamoru bids his familiar thanks, he might see a familiar auburn girl running towards him with a large bear seemingly made of jade green lightning.]

Mamoru!

[reincarnatedprince]

[There's a familiar voice and... a not so familiar bear. But still, a familiar person is a nice thing in this kind of a situation.

At least the bear makes sense after interacting with his own familiar.]

Makoto! Good to see you. [She's coming from a different direction and she's not soaking wet... hm.] How long did it take for me to get here?

[They were all in the Galaxy Cauldron just now.]

[roseeclair]

[Funny how that small a question makes her stop, blink, and rub the back of her head.]

Uh... that's... kind of complicated. ... Actually no, it's super complicated and surprisingly not related to all the Galaxia BS we just went through. So uh... how much do you know about King Arthur and Avalon?

Red Springs A

[songstressedout]

Ah! How pretty!

[ Yuzu’s definitely noticed the roses. Flowers had always had some kind of pull when it came to her, after all. Plus, since she’s been here before, she doesn’t remember those roses being there. ]

Did you do that?

[reincarnatedprince]

[Mamoru has to take a moment when there's suddenly a girl with pink twintails there with him. Well, not that suddenly but still kind of unexpected. It's not Chibiusa even his first instinct is to call for her name.

Then he looks at what she's looking. Roses..?]

I don't... know? I mean, they weren't there just a few moments ago so it's possible?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[starshaper]

[There's no way Usagi wouldn't be there to meet the new arrivals. Not even if Makoto hadn't arrived earlier, she'd be there anyway because she wants to help them! And even though she hopes to see more of her loved ones every time when new people arrive, she knows the chances or odds or whatever are probably pretty small for that... So she's never really expecting it, which makes it even more fun whenever she finds someone there.

This time she also has a samoyed puppy with her and the hyperactive fluffball is excited to meet everyone! So sometimes she runs off to greet people with cuddles, puppy kisses and trying to be extremely affectionate for their attention! Right now she's running to Mamoru but at least she's very friendly. Hello, pet her, please!

Of course Usagi runs after Marshmallow to find her anytime when that happens! She's somewhere between apologising for her puppy or telling the puppy to stop doing that, when she sees him and Usagi just stops completely for a moment. Is this real? Maybe she's dreaming... She has seen these meetings in her dreams so many times by now, but she's always just as surprised to see him here in those dreams too. But he really arrived to Lunatia, why couldn't he really, really arrive here too??]

Mamo-chan?

[Sorry, puppy, Usagi is going to steal all of his attention soon. She's already rushing for a hug as soon as she's said something first. You know, so he'll have a little time to switch from the affectionate puppy to the possibly even more affectionate bunny.]

🌹 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 🌹

[reincarnatedprince]

[At first Mamoru is greeted by this very good puppy. He crouches down to give her pets after letting her sniff his hand first.]

Hello there... are you someone's familiar as we-

[Then he hears the voice. Her voice. Not anyone else's but Usagi's voice. He looks up from the dog quickly and stares as he gets up from the crouching position.]

Usako.

[He already has his arms open when she approaches him for a hug and a very tight and affectionate hug it is.]
