🥳💛💌 !
@hemerae-ramblings I assume this was meant as an ask and not a submission, right?
🥳 Why did you start writing fanfic?
Already answered here, so I’ll pick another one!
🎁 Have a piece of a WIP you want to share?
Just because it’s you, I’ll share a bit of the 12th chapter of Parce qu'entre nous 😊
— Tu sais, ta mère et moi on est juste collègues, je ne la connais pas plus que ça.
— Ouais, vous faites quand-même des trucs bizarres alors pour des collègues, s'esclaffa Théa.
— Hein ?
— Vous l'avez appelée douze fois en deux jours pendant qu'on était en Angleterre. J'le sais parce qu'une fois son téléphone a sonné pendant qu'elle était sous la douche. Et bah le père d'une copine il a fait ça avec une “collègue”, dit Théa en mimant des guillemets, il s'est pris un proc��s aux prud'hommes pour harcèlement !
Alors, oui. Effectivement, vu sous cet angle, il n'était pas question de pervertir de jeunes esprits impressionnables.
— Heu… c'est effectivement un comportement généralement répréhensible, commença-t-il sans trop savoir comment terminer sa phrase. Mais dans ce cas précis, j'avais des informations à lui communiquer au sujet d'une enquête en cours. D'ailleurs elle l'a très bien compris.
Théa lui adressa une moue incrédule qui lui rappela beaucoup celle de Sofiane.
💛 What is the most impactful lesson you’ve learned about writing?
Oh, wow, you’re in the deep right now… Probably that there’s always room for growth, no matter how clunky or terrible you might find your own writing, you can and you will make it better. Oh and also that your writing can have a positive impact on people’s lives. I started writing because someone else’s writing inspired me. I know that some people started writing because my writing inspired them. Some people might find inspiration, advice, or a comforting escape in your writing. And even if your work only reaches out to one person, knowing that you get to impact in a positive way the life of a total stranger that you’ll probably never meet, well that’s… that’s huge 🥲
💌 Is there a favorite trope you like to write?
Plenty! Fake dating, enemies to/and lovers, angst, slow burn, unresolved sexual tension (I do have a hard time at keeping it unresolved though 😂)…

For the writing ask!!!
6, 10, 13, 34, 35
(I'm stopping there but I had like 23435527 more questions)
Aaaaah, merci, merci, merci !!
6. What is your darkest fear about writing?
I have to only list ONE fear?? I have so many, I write in fear lmao
But if I had to say only one, I'd say it's not get the characters right, both in fan and original fiction. I'm a "characters-reader", what most attract me and addict me to any piece of fiction are the characters, so it's something I always want to get right and always fear I won't ^^
10. Has a piece of writing ever “haunted” you? Has your own writing haunted you? What does that mean to you?
I think so ? Like, to me, I feel haunted by a piece of writing when I think about it constantly but not in a "hyperfixation" way. I think about it but it doesn't feel like I need to think about it, or that it overstimulates me. It's more of a contemplative way, a day-dreaming type of thing, and it also more analytical and self-reflective. And it keeps coming back, even when I think I'm over it, like a ghost. So, in that sense, I'd say that Les Petites Reines, His dark materials or La Passe-miroir haunt me. In fanfiction, @silverinia's Everything gonna be alright or @bwayfan25's matriarch have haunted me as well. I don't think my own writing haunts me? I'm not that good of a writer ^^
13. What is a subject matter that is incredibly difficult for you write about? What is easy?
I don't really know yet, because I haven't written enough, but I don't think I could write about really dark subjects like incest or domestic violence or things like that? And also, I seem to struggle a lot to write mundane stuff, or fluff ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
However, it's really easy (as in it comes to me easily, not as in it's nice for me to write about) to write about mental health struggles or family and friends dynamics, which if you've read just two of my fics, you already know haha
34. Thoughts on the Oxford comma, Go:
I love it, I will die on the Oxford comma hill! I use it all the time, I find it makes it easier to read and understand a sentence, and it also allows more breathing space in a text. I'm part of the Oxford comma fanclub <3
35. What’s your favorite writing rule to smash into smithereens?
Umm... I don't think I know enough about writing rules to know which I break and which I don't but I know that I use "said" quite a lot because sometimes it just doesn't make sense to use another verb. And I hate the feeling that you went through a synonym list of "said" to write your dialogue + words have a meaning and "muttering" is not the same as "saying". Also, circulating back to your first question, dialogue and the way characters speak is a HUGE part of characterization, so I'm extra-careful about how I write dialogue, and I try to always imagine the characters acting the scene and choose the appropriate verb to portray the right emotion, and sometimes, "said" is the only right way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you wish to ask me your "23435527" other questions, feel free, I loved answering these <3 And once again, thanks for the ask ❤️

I only live to make my family "happy".
I literally spend every single day trying not to upset them or calm them down from their breakdowns.
I am a shell of person, not even a real one. And it's so tiring.

no background ver + ramble under the cut
so. I don't think I have talked about my Oblivion oc's all that much. and to be fair, I cannot seem to get my game working to properly start it. but at least I have ideas as well as designs for characters.
Tumblr media
the girl is my Hero of Kvatch, Eleonora Cassia, the hybrid lovechild of Imperial merchant family heiress Hemera Cassia and the wandering Altmer scholar Vaicarion, the person on the left. though Eleonora mostly took after her mother, she still does have some traits that make Vaicarion recognise her as his own instantly. if only they had a chance to meet, maybe both their lives and perhaps the future of Tamriel would've turned out differently...

Last line game
Tagged by @hemerae-ramblings (my darling thank youu 😘) to post the last line of the most recent fic I worked on.
Disclaimer: to call it a fic is a stretch, it's more jumbled pieces of a fic (that I'll probably never finish, even tho it was part of a challenge that ended in... October 😂) but here we are!
"he wasn't anything special to her, not as she was to him. she didn't dream of holding his hand and walking through a forest. she didn't dream of kisses that would rip her apart if they were real. she loved him, like she loved dozens of others, and it was precious, but not enough. he dreamt of being chosen, being chosen by her, because he had chosen her so long ago."
I've got honestly no idea who to tag here! If any of my followers want to play with these, give me a sign so I know I'm not bothering anyone with tags 🌼🥰

At first I was confused because 4 pearls?? But his mom can’t come back with them in the story that not how this works??
Then I realized. They’re giving us hope, and they’re gonna steal it away at the moment we’re most vulnerable. That pearl is naught but a pearl of angst waiting to happen.

I opened my notes on a random to study for my math final and— look what I found I drew. I’m not even a good artis and I still wanted to make something with the highlighters I had… this just brought tears to my eyes again. I guess past me knew it would have that effect cuz I wrote a time stamp on the drawing…

Anyways before I go to sleep I wanna drop another headcanon I have
Hemera is Queer Platonic Objectum (both towards electronics and flora. Mostly towards plants and whatnot tho)

She absolutely loves her plants… would be a shame if some puppet that sorta looks like one of her friends kills them all in cold blood seemingly right in front of her :(

T/U R B pour l’ask game 😇
Merciiii !!! ❤️❤️
U - If you mostly have heteroships, do you have any homoships
Absolutely!!! Darryl Whitefeather x White Josh (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) are very dear blorbos ❤️ Also I definitely think that Eric x Dean Boland (Good Girls) should be a thing lol
I'm not sure I would add Marguerite de Lancastel x Caroline DeWitt (les Combattantes) to the list, but also I wrote a fic about them, sooooo...
R - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships
Annie Marks x Noah (Good Girls) (does he even have a last name?).
I know people hate it and him, and I understand their motives, but also I feel like Annie and Noah genuinely cared about each other and there was a fascinating thread of redemption, trust, and forgiveness to explore here. Plus we could have had S3 ex-FBI-turned-to-crime Noah, and instead we got therapist fuckboy. Meditate that.
B - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind
Liv Moore x Blaine DeBeer (iZombie).
Fanfiction definitely sold me on this one lol! Enemies! Opposite attracts! Shared and mutually inflicted trauma!!!! (she turned him and he scratched her oh my goooooood)

"No, go left! Sailor Venus take the route towards the central and - no, wait! Take a right!"
"WHICH IS IT!?" came the roaring voice of Sailor Venus over the comm. system.
Azula blew some air out and rubbed her face. She splat a hand on the monitor and gazed at the screen again. Street security cameras allowed her to see where the blonde Sailor Scout was headed - along with the others - but Azula was still having trouble locating the precise location they were searching for. Thankfully, Luna hopped onto the stool beside hers and Artemis took the other on her left. The two cats started directing Sailor Venus towards their assumed location.
"Thanks guys," Azula said to the two cats afterwards. "I'm a bit...under stress…" Her blue eyes gazed over the multiple tabs opened on the computer. Some belonged to Koan, the Black Moon Clan, Chibiusa, Senka, Reign...it was way too much for one person.
"Don't worry, we're a team after all," Artemis reminded.
"Well this team needs to find our newest member who seems hell bent on dominating animals everywhere," Azula leaned back in her chair.
Sailor Siren was definitely awake and causing havoc in her disoriented state. They hadn't been able to capture her yet but since she had practically every animal worshiping the ground she walked on, Azula theorized by finding where the animals were disappearing to they would then find Sailor Siren.
"Azula, we're here, but there's nothing," Sailor Mars and Sailor Mercury reported from one location across the city.
"It's just business as usual," Sailor Mars added.
Azula zoomed in on their location and confirmed this was the case. Animals were still freaking out but people were going on about their business like nothing.
"Azula," Sailor Jupiter reported in, "we've got the same thing over here with us. Are you sure this is the place?"
Once more, Azula set to work. "Yeah, it's where the traces were leading to. Hold on, let me—"
"Azula!" Sailor Hemera called in.
"What!?" Azula snapped under the pressure.
Sailor Hemera snorted. "Cracking under the pressure already?" Azula groaned and muttered under her breath but otherwise continued to locate them.
Sailor Hemera was crouched over a rooftop overlooking the mall. Her sister, Sailor Asteria joined her.
"Don't mess with my human," Sailor Asteria scolded lightly.
"What?" Hemera gave her a weirded look.
Asteria faced the city, completely calm. "I adopted her. She's my human pet—"
"No I am not!" Azula shouted through their comms., absolutely offended with what she was hearing. "I am not your human pet! Would you quit saying that!?"
A smirk spread across Sailor Asteria's lips hearing Azula ramble on about how offensive it was to be called someone's pet. Sailor Hemera gave her a look. "You're awful," she couldn't help chuckle.
"Guys!" Azula suddenly called, serious now. "An unidentified figure has been spotted just a corner from where Sailor Asteria and Sailor Hemera are at. She's causing quite the havoc…"
Sailor Hemera straightened and listened up for any strange noises. Sure enough, there were shrill screams of humans. "Oh Sailor Siren…"
The two Shadow Scouts ran towards the noises and were of course the first to get there.
A tall, blonde haired girl was laughing in the air as dozens of pigeons pecked at numerous people. "I can make it all stop, petty humans, so long as you kindly direct me to Princess Reign."
"The same story, I see," they heard Azula through the comms. "She's radiating a lot of energy just like you did, Asteria."
Both Shadow sisters gazed at their third comrade from a rooftop. Sailor Siren was by the far the tallest of the four Shadow Scouts. Her blonde curly hair swooshed in the air. There was no recognition of herself within her light blue eyes. But for her comrades, she remained the same youthful beauty she had been back then; Sailor Siren lived up to her mythological name.
"Siren…" Sailor Asteria cautiously stepped towards Sailor Siren, her hands making a gesture she was no enemy. "It's us," she nodded to Sailor Hemera just a step behind, "We're your comrade sisters, remember?" Sailor Siren's eyes flickered from one Shadow Scout to the next. "I know you're confused but you have to calm down. You're overflowing with power and you can get hurt."
From the base, Azula watched intently. "Hm, that's the first time she speaks with actual kindness," she murmured to the cats with her.
"I heard that," Asteria scolded.
Sailor Siren balled her fists on her sides. "If you were truly my comrades you would have already scoured this planet for Princess Reign! There would be no human left in existence! It's their fault after all!"
"Siren, please," Sailor Hemera begged. "Let us take care of you right now."
"Ha! I am going to search every last corner of this planet for Princess Reign! And if I have to I will ask help from Obscurius!" Sailor Siren held her arms to her sides. "Their gifts will help me find the Princess!"
From the base, Azula reacted to those words. "What kind of people are Obscurians?" she looked at Luna but the purple cat had no idea either.
In the streets, Sailor Siren still could not be coerced. She was throwing punches at Sailor Asteria who only deflected them with her own fists.
"Sailor Siren!" Sailor Hemera shouted and, at the same time, flung forwards her golden boomerang.
Sailor Siren growled when the boomerang smacked her on her forehead. Sailor Asteria whirled around, furious for Hemera's move. "What the hell was that for!?"
"She was about to punch you!"
Sailor Siren used the sisters' quarrel to introduce her own attack. She began to whistle a soft, rhythmic tune that froze both sisters in their spots.
Azula squinted her eyes at the screen. "What are those two doing?"
The two Shadow sisters were beginning to fight against each other. They threw punches, dodges, kicks, everything but their attacks.
"Oh you've got to be kidding me!" Azula groaned and reached for the comms. "She's living up to her Siren name," she mumbled just as she got in contact with the other Scouts. "Girls! We've got a situation! Sailor Siren is hypnotizing Sailor Asteria and Hemera into fighting against each other. They could seriously hurt each other!"
Sailor Venus arrived first and threw her love chain to capture Sailor Hemera. Sailor Jupiter grabbed Sailor Asteria back and kept her still.
"Use the sedatives!" Azula shouted.
Sailor Mars whipped out her sedative but Sailor Siren landed in front of her and kicked it out of her hand. Before Sailor Mars bad the chance to react properly, Siren backhanded her to the ground.
"Sailor Siren, we're your friends!" Sailor Mercury attempted to reason with her.
"I don't have friends anymore!" Sailor Siren roared and went to punch her next. "I only want to find Princess Reign!"
"Well you're not going to do it that way!" Sailor Mars rubbed at her chin as she got up. "Burning Mandala!"
Sailor Siren backed from Sailor Mercury and had to duck to avoid the fire. Slowly, Sailor Asteria and Hemera came out of the trance Sailor Siren put them in.
"We will not stop until you come with us!" Sailor Venus warned.
Sailor Siren backed a step, one hand towards them. "I will find Reign." Sailor Mars prepared another attack with her paper slips, something Siren picked up on. "Don't get in my way! Sonic Scream!" Sailor Siren then released a high pitched scream that echoed in every corner of the street. Everyone collapsed to their knees, hands clutching ears to drown out the awful noise in the air.
Even Azula had to take measures by turning off audio to avoid bleeding in the ears. Sailor Siren proved to be a deadly opponent.
~0~
Five sedatives were dropped on a circular table in the Moon base following a bumpy match.
"What even is Sailor Siren?" Azula rubbed a finger in her left ear as if Sailor Siren was still screaming. "How could she possibly be a good Sailor Scout?"
Asteria was quiet and serious. She wasn't too pleased their friend had ran off but even she knew it wasn't their fault. "Sailor Siren was a deadly Scout back in our days. Her songs hypnotized those in her way and she could make them do just about anything. But nothing was more powerful than her Sonic Scream."
"Was this just with humans or with animals?" Minako inquired.
"Back then it was just humans."
"The excess power is probably letting her songs reach animals for the moment," Ami theorized. "This is more dangerous."
"I can't believe Shadow housed this sort of Scout," Rei mumbled under her breath. She could still feel echoes of pain jabbing at her chin from the backhand Sailor Siren had given her earlier.
"Our powers do not make us evil," Meroko frowned. "Sailor Siren was a kind Scout. Her sole purpose was to make sure people in Shadow never harmed Reign."
"Look, whatever she did then does not matter right now," Makoto interrupted the small lecture. "She's out there putting people in danger and we need to stop her."
"But how do we sedate her if we can't get near her?" Minako huffed from her spot. "One song and we're all going to fight each other."
Azula tilted her head in thought, her finger tapping against her chin. "What if we create devices to block out her voice?" Everyone in the room turned to her for a better explanation. Azula uncrossed her arms and went on to elaborate. "We send in only a few of you guys to meet with Siren, but we send you with devices equipped to block out her soundwaves. That way, one of you could use the sedative and put her down."
"Could we really do that?" Makoto looked unsure of it but Ami seemed more inclined with the idea.
"I think we can," the blue-haired girl nodded. "There's already devices like that in regular stores. All we would have to do is amplify the effects."
"We can do that, no problem," Azula grinned.
"Alright, so we have the new plan. Who's going to inform Usagi?" Meroko asked but Asteria huffed.
"You mean little miss Moon Princess who's overly irresponsible she couldn't even come to help us today?"
Azula rolled her eyes at the girl. "Calm down Star Queen. Usagi got roped into babysitting Chibiusa. She couldn't very well leave the little girl on her own right? Now that would be irresponsible."
Asteria huffed again. "And the Prince?"
"Him...I have no idea."
~0~
Have a safe return, Sailor Hemera,' Princess Reign waved goodbye to her sunny Scout. Sailor Hemera gave her traditional bow before exiting the Earth palace and headed back for the Shadow Kingdom.
Beside Reign, Endymion appeared with a studious expression. "It's odd for Sailor Hemera to visit the kingdom."
"Well, Asteria is on guard right now and I suppose mother sent Hemera to see how I was doing."
"And to see if I was keeping my word in protecting you."
A light smile slipped through Reign's face, not that Endymion would see due to the enchantment on Reign. "I could not lie about that. My mother knows I am a danger to myself and the world. She has to be sure that I am guarded at all times."
"And yet, even then, you refuse to have my Generals accompany you."
Reign sighed and leaned over the balcony to stare up at the shiny Moon in the dark sky. "I wish to be free, Endymion. You granted me a little bit of it. Please don't take it away from me."
"I only allow it because you're within the palace. But you know that if you were to ever want to leave the palace you would need to be accompanied."
"Me? Leave? Never," Reign said with utter regret. "It is my fate to stay locked away forever. Even when the world looks so beautiful…"
Endymion assumed she was watching the Moon. She often expressed (to him and Serenity) wishes of seeing the Moon Kingdom, or just about any other kingdom. "Maybe one day…"
Reign shook her head. "Mother would never allow it. My existence must always remain a secret. Even my sister planet probably doesn't know about me."
"Obscurius?" Endymion recalled the planet similar to Shadow.
"Mhm. Their people are the only people who can match Shadow's gifts and abilities. I know they have a royal line, rules and laws...but I think they are free unlike my people. It's my fault, like always."
Reign expressed herself with utter sadness. Endymion hated that he could not do anything to help his friend. She didn't deserve to live the way she did: feeling like a burden.
Mamoru blinked out of his memory trance. He looked down at the mug of coffee he'd been nursing. He didn't even realize at what moment he had began to remember. The images just came to him without warning. But with each new memory, he felt like he began to know Reign even more. The sense of friendship was strong, along with lingering feelings of pity and sorrow for the girl. It was clear that Reign never got to leave Earth and travel.
But he was curious about her abilities. All day he'd been getting blips of memories concerning Reign and her abilities. Mamoru knew of her healing abilities, agility and illusion tricks, but he wanted to know more. He was sure Reign confided in him about those abilities, he just needed to remember more.
"Reign, please, talk to me…" Mamoru whispered, for some reason believing this would help him. He couldn't explain it but he felt like Reign was close to him. Something within made him sure of it.
~0~
Usagi thought she was loud up until she met Chibiusa. The girl screamed and yelped at least twice as loud as she would. It was why the knocks on her front door took at least five minutes to get noticed. By the time Usagi went to answer, Azula was mad with impatience.
"Do I need to get a bullhorn or something to get your attention?" the red-haired girl demanded with a frantic tapping shoe.
Usagi sheepishly rubbed the back of her neck. "Sorry, Azula. Chibiusa is just too loud!"
Hearing her name, Chibiusa poked her head out from the living room. "I am not loud! You're — hi Azula!" she beamed at the sight.
Azula gave a small wave with her free hand. "Hey, Usa."
Chibiusa beamed at the new nickname. "You can call me that all you like!"
Usagi growled at the girl for her uber kindness at Azula. Chibiusa always yelled at her for the littlest of things.
"Usagi, I came to talk," Azula pulled the blonde from her thoughts. She motioned to the notebook in her hand, indicating to Usagi it was theory time.
Usagi brought Azula into her living room and warned Chibiusa to stay out of it. The pink-haired girl of course huffed and muttered a few words here and there but ultimately entertained herself with some television in the room. Her LunaP ball mildly bounced beside her on the couch.
Meanwhile, Azula and Usagi sat on the ground with a coffee table between them. Azula had opened her journal which was full of notes and diagrams. Usagi had to rub her eyes from so much color.
"Is that a family tree?" she pointed at a purple square encasing the name 'Reign'.
"Mhm," Azula nodded. "I wanted to map out the Royal Shadow line."
Usagi saw 'Queen Nyx' written inside another purple box with a line going down to Reign. Next to Queen Nyx was another square, presumably Reign's father, but was intentionally left blank.
"So the Royal Shadow Line has a very long lifespan," Azula remarked. She dragged her finger down the Queen's and princess's names and onto the four Shadow Sailor Scouts. "These people lived for centuries but I suppose the oldest was Queen Nyx. Though since there's no real truth of her ending we can only presume she's actually dead."
Usagi squeaked at the prospect. "You think the Shadow Queen still lives?"
Azula gave a small shrug. "Maybe. Only Sailor Circe knows what truly happened to the Shadow people, after all."
"I don't know…" Usagi said quietly. "It's already a wonder of how Reign survived…"
"Well, that's because your other mother knew Reign needed to exist in order for the Shadow Dominion Gates to remain closed. She reincarnated Reign for safety." Azula passed the next page of her notebook to reveal notes on the previous Queen Serenity and Queen Nyx. "Which means that Queen Nyx had to have held some communication with Serenity. I also believe Queen Nyx communicated with Obscurius, the sister planet of Shadow."
Usagi furrowed her brows. "But Meroko said that planet was destroyed."
"Doesn't mean they couldn't build a new one. That's what I came to talk to you about, actually."
"What?"
Azula passed the next page, and at the top of the first page was 'OBSCURIUS' written in black. She pointed a finger at the name. "Sailor Siren mentioned this planet. She mentioned their people and their gifts. She said they could help find Reign. Usagi, you wouldn't happen to remember anything of this planet?"
Usagi blinked out of surprise but she ultimately thought about it. Her memories of Reign were still scarce. She knew Mamoru remembered far more than her but perhaps she did know something about Obscurius.
From the couch, Chibiusa pretended to be watching the television but she was way too listening in on the conversation. She didn't know they were barely looking into Obscurius. Mommy said never to divulge information, she remembered. Timelines are sacred, she told herself.
"I'm only thinking that maybe finding this planet, their people, would be key to finding Reign," Azula shared her thoughts. "It's obvious they still live today."
Chibiusa began biting her lip to keep quiet. They're making it too hard for me...
"But how?" Usagi asked. "We already have enough people to search for and that hasn't been easy."
Azula sighed. "Yeah, I know. This is stupid. Sorry." She closed her notebook and frowned. "I don't have powers so I like to think myself useful by making all these notes and theories."
"And they're great!" Usagi didn't hesitate to exclaim. "You're amazing at this. You give us new ideas."
"Just not the one I had about letting humans have their Crystals taken, huh?"
Usagi sheepishly smiled. "All your other ideas are amazing."
Azula laughed. "Fine. I'll take the compliment." She began to get up from the floor and gathering her things. "I have to go. Ami and I are making devices to help us fight Sailor Siren."
Usagi was in the dark about the new plan, Azula remembered then. "Did I forget to mention? Sailor Siren has a killer voice, literally. Girl can scream and hypnotize people. She had Sailor Asteria and Sailor Hemera fighting each other. It's actually less hilarious than one would think."
Usagi blinked. "What!?"
"Ami and I are going to make devices that will allow the girls to drown out Sailor Siren's voice. That way we can sedate her and bring her in."
"Sounds good. I'm in," Usagi stood up but Azula refused it.
"Are you kidding me? The last thing we need is a rogue Sailor Moon on us. It's better if you stay out of this one, Usagi. Trust me."
"But…" Usagi bit her lip, nervous of the idea.
Azula put a hand on Usagi's shoulder. "Believe me, it's better this way. Rei will come over here later today just to make sure you're protected."
"But what about the others—"
"They will be fine," Azula assured. "We'll keep monitoring them from the base. But seriously, please, stay in doors. You too Chibiusa."
Chibiusa pretended to come out of her television moment. "What?"
"There's going to be a new Sailor Scout in the air today and it's better if you stay in here with Usagi."
Chibiusa nodded her head obediently, once again causing Usagi to growl. All day it had been a battle just to get Chibiusa to clean her room. Maybe Azula should take care of her, she thought. No point in making Azula suffer, she later added with a smirk.

On her way to the base, Asteria found Azula buying a milkshake in the café shop. Of course unable to resist, Asteria walked in to join her. "I thought you were supposed to be in the base already?" the platinum blonde inquired.
"I needed to replenish my strength," Azula responded.
"Humans require more than sugar, no?"
Azula rolled her eyes and thanked Unazuki for giving her the milkshake. Just as she turned, Asteria noticed the notebook Azula was cradling in her free arm.
"Oh, what's that!?" Asteria plucked the notebook from Azula's hands, ignoring the protests of the redhead.
"Give that back!"
Asteria did no such thing. She headed for a circle table and took a seat to better read the notebook. With a roll of her eyes, Azula followed.
Asteria had already found the profile on her by the time Azula joined her. "You're good at storing information."
"Thanks?" Azula dumbly responded with. With Asteria she could never be sure if a compliment was actually just a compliment and not a setup for a harsh insult.
"You got this wrong though," Asteria tapped a small note on the side of her profile. "While I don't own any powers of the sun, I am also descended from their people. Hence why Meroko and I are twins."
"It was like...two a.m when I wrote that," Azula huffed and sipped from her milkshake.
"Overall" — Asteria passed through the pages of the notebook, eyeing them carefully — "this is actually really good. That's why you're my favorite human." She looked up with a wide smile.
"Would you quit saying that?" Azula hissed. "I'm not your pet."
"No, pets wouldn't talk so much," Asteria agreed, ignoring Azula's scowl.
"How about you make yourself useful and tell me everything you know about Obscurians," Azula surprised her with. If Asteria was going to stick her nose in her notebook, then she would help too.
Asteria blinked, surprised for a second before making a face. "Why would you wanna know about them? They're dead."
"Are you sure?"
Asteria didn't like the sharp stare she was getting from Azula. It made her squirm a bit. "Of...course I am."
Azula didn't think so. She cleared her throat and moved her milkshake a bit to the side. "When death came for you all, where were you, Asteria?"
"I was on my way to relieve Meroko and guard the barrier."
Azula made a mental calculation of where that would put each of the Shadow Scouts during the final hours of their previous lives. "So then, Meroko was barely getting to the human Kingdom trying to save Reign, you were on your way to the barrier dividing both the human and Shadow Kingdom, and Sailor Siren and Sailor Circe were left in the Shadow palace with the Queen."
Asteria followed as much as she could but she truly understood no point. "So?"
Azula shared a small laugh. "Then you don't know what happened in the Shadow Kingdom. You don't know what led to your millennia sleep. Queen Nyx had to have contact with Queen Serenity and Obscurius in order to put you, Sailor Siren and Sailor Circe to sleep."
Asteria looked at the redhead with horror. "What—"
"You said Queen Nyx had been growing ill which probably meant her powers were diminishing. What's to say she didn't have help from Obscurius?"
"Where is all this coming from!?" Asteria nearly shouted.
Azula sighed, she too frustrated with the lack of answers of the mysterious planet. "I just want to know more about Obscurius."
"It's dead," Asteria spat. "It's been dead since the Sailor Wars, alright? Their people fled before ours did. We were lucky enough to find safe haven on Earth but who knows where Obscurians ended up. They're most likely dead, Azula. Give that up."
At the moment Azula felt like there was nothing left to say during that moment. She gave a small nod and bring her milkshake back in front of her to finish.

There were four sets of hearing devices sitting between the girls in the base. Usagi and Mamoru, however, were not present.
"Okay," Azula picked up a pair. The silver devices were like earplugs but were silver metal. "So these things work like any other Bluetooth devices. You just-" she plugged one into her ear and then the next, "-put them on and then I'll activate them from here." She gestured to the computers behind them.
"And you're sure it'll work?" Rei picked a pair up.
"Ami and I worked on them," Azula pulled the devices from her ears. "They of course work."
Ami blushed at the compliment and chuckled. "We're confident."
"Good because it looks like they'll be needed soon," Luna called from the computers. "The monitors are picking up Sailor Siren's location again."
The rest of the girls ran towards the computers to see for themselves.
"What's she doing now?" Makoto dreaded to think of the humans succumbing to Sailor Siren's voice.
Azula helped Luna get into the security cameras of the street Sailor Siren was and allowed the others to see the new Shadow Scout raging for Princess Reign's safe return. Azula groaned and sat on a stool beside Luna's. "Girl doesn't take a break."
"We should go," Meroko told her sister. The two sisters returned to the table and picked up two hearing devices. Along with them went Minako and Makoto.
Ami took the stool next to Azula since both would be commandeering the mission this time. Both girls got ready as the others started heading out.
Sailor Siren was indeed out and about causing havoc. She had several of the humans aching on the ground, forcing traffic to stop. Others were at her beck and call crashing things.
The blonde was happy.
"Terrorizing innocent people is not the Sailor Scout way, Sailor Siren!" Sailor Venus forced her to stop and turn.
Sailor Siren gazed at the four Sailor Scouts standing across her. Her gaze lingered on the two Shadow Scouts but did not react. "You think I do this because I want to? Of course not. I do what I do to find Princess Reign. Hand her over safe and sound and I can make all this—" she waved a casual wave at the destruction around her, "—go away."
Sailor Jupiter sighed. The story was getting a bit tiresome. "We don't know where Reign is but we're searching for her."
"They are right," Sailor Hemera stepped forwards. "Siren, we're your comrades, remember?" she gestured to herself and Asteria. "We swore to protect Reign above everything."
Sailor Siren seemed to consider the idea of seeing her comrades again but it faded all too soon. "Tricks will not deceive me."
Sailor Asteria took her turn. "Siren, you know Queen Nyx allowed us a peaceful sleep until Reign would reawaken in a new time. Hemera was reincarnated. It's us. Don't you feel it?"
"Enough!" Sailor Siren gave a loud shout.
'I think she's about to go opera on you guys!' Azula warned the girls through the comms.
Heeding the warning, the four Scouts activated their devices and Ami boosted the signal from the base. Sailor Siren lurched forwards with a killer cry that forced all the humans save the Scouts to get on their knees and cover their ears.
"Ha! It's working!" Azula intently watched the screen in front of them. "We are good!" she laughed. Ami agreed with a small chuckle.
Luna and Artemis were much more focused on the work. Luna used her paw to turn the communication on through the activated devices. "You must sedate Sailor Siren fast!"
Sailor Jupiter took her chance first and fired with a thunder attack. Sailor Siren was struck by the lightning due to wondering how they had survived her scream in the first place. She was blasted against the top of a car.
Sailor Venus ran forwards. "Venus love me chain!" her golden chain threatened to capture Sailor Siren but the Shadow scout rolled off the car first. "Damn!"
Sailor Siren jumped back on her feet and began her deadly scream. As soon as she did, Ami and Azula activated the hearing devices. Both girls, and Luna and Artemis, watched with a bit of nervousness as the screams' vibrations rippled through the street.
"It's working!" Sailor Jupiter was the first to notice. Her voice rang perfectly in the others' ears thanks to Azula's tapping.
"Well don't waste time! Get her from behind!" Azula was quick to advise.
"Glimmering Boomerang attack!" Sailor Hemera threw her golden boomerang and struck Sailor Siren on her back, causing the latter to tumble forwards in the ground. "Venus! The chain!"
"Venus love me chain!" Sailor Venus successfully wrapped her chain around Sailor Siren. "The sedative!" she quickly looked around for the needed tool.
Sailor Asteria dropped beside Sailor Siren. "Don't worry, Siren, you'll be better after this," she promised the struggling Scout and plunged the sedative into her arm.
Sailor Siren yelped at the initial pinch but slowly fell under the effects of the sedative. Her head lulled to the side and her body went limp. From the base, the group cheered. Their plan had worked.
"Yes!" Azula high-fived a chuckling Ami who hadn't expected the action. "Boom! That's how we do it! Told you my plan would work!"
Luna punched a paw on the comm. system to communicate with the others. "You better bring Sailor Siren in so she can rest. We'll have to keep her down until the excess of her powers fades away."
Azula snapped her fingers and looked to Ami again. "That is gonna require some math. Care to join me? And by join I mean help me," she cheekily smile.
"Of course," Ami once again chuckled.

Once you get this, you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly. Then you have to send this to ten of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool~)🌈💖🌈💖🌈
