Miracle Romance

[starshaper]

Woooow, I kind of thought that my mark from Strength is something so small that I just missed it but ummm, I guess I was wrong!! This is a m a z i n g!!

...I mean I'm sure my mom wouldn't think so even if she'd think it's pretty but she's not here! So look, look, Strength gave me a really adorable mark~!

[Says the girl who is on the screen and turns around now to show her back to show a thing that is definitely not a small mark when it covers most of it. There are red roses surrounding a sight of a bunny hugging/cuddling/kissing a lion, there is infinity sign above them but instead of the normal style this one is made of cats who form hearts instead of the usual number eight. Anyone familiar with the Sailor Moon manga can tell that it's drawn in the same style. ...And then she rolls her shirt back down before she turns to look at the person (Jean) livestreaming this.]

Hey, speaking of Arcana marks... Mamo-chan already has his mark but he didn't meet his Arcana yet. What's up with that?

Ah? Who is Mamo-chan, you ask? [and that is when she tells him to show Mamoru, who is also in the same room and then Mamoru waves before the stream returns to Usagi.] He is one of the new arrivals, Mamoru Chiba, my fiance and you should all meet him! I promise he is a lot less rambling, loud and hyper than me.

["Well, that's not very difficult..." Thank you for that line Jean, the moon rabbit who is showing off her adorable ring here grabs a pillow to end this in a moment.]

Me? I'm Usagi Tsukino, you should definitely come say hello to me too~!


[After that she stops with the friendly smiling and that pillow flies to Jean's face with some sudden fierce temper.]

[rustyhonesty]

[Well, he didn't exactly expect a pillow on his face.]

There are kinder ways to say you want to end the post...

[starshaper]

[ Usagi didn't really expect to hear him say that line in the middle of her talking, so maybe they're even now?? ]

Well, that wasn't a very difficult way to end it! [Hah, take that, carrot eater!!] Ah, sorry, if my company is so difficult, maybe you should avoid me!

[. . . Then he'd get Usagi clinging to him because she'd start missing him very soon and besides, it's clear that she's not serious about it at all.]

[rustyhonesty]

Maybe I should if all the thanks I get is a pillow to my face.

[He's joking, but he can act like he's serious!]

Action

[reincarnatedprince]

[Mamoru let Usagi and Jean do their (semi-)usual banter and watches the guy then leave.]

It's nice to know you've made good friends here.

[starshaper]

[Usagi gives a laugh at that and smiles at him after Jean leaves.]

At least it's not so called fighting like that with most of them... And I'll keep making even more as long as the Arcana keep us here.

[She grabs the pillow, that she threw at Jean earlier, from a chair and hugs it as if that's somehow right now all the friends that she has made here... After that she walks to Mamoru and sits on his lap to be close even while the network might be busy to her direction for a while now.]

[reincarnatedprince]

[Cuddling like this while they both talk on the network is definitely doable, and Mamoru wouldn't have it any other way.]

You're natural at making friends, so you'll have plenty after a while.

[senpaidol]

Wow, that's way more than mine and yet somehow way classier.

[Stupid tramp stamps.]

I'm really glad to hear your fiancé showed up, though! I don't know what it'd have been like showing up here without Souji or Naoto, and we weren't even dating before I got here...

[starshaper]

What's yours like then? I mean, not that you have to show if you don't want to... [but now she's curious.] Maybe mine just looks classier when it's like shoujo manga style?

Thanks, I'm really glad too though it's going to take ... some time.... to really realize, that Mamo-chan is here! [She's still pretty sure she'll just wake up later in Liminal and he hasn't been here.] You would have had everyone else, who have been here since then and earlier but I know it's not the same thing at all compared to what it's like when most important people are here... Eeeeeeh, you're dating them both and it started here?!! That's amazing, I'm really happy for all of you!

[senpaidol]

Aha...y-yeah, I'm trying not to make a big deal out of it, but it's kinda hard to avoid saying it when I phrase it that way. I dunno about where you're from, but in my version of Japan I feel like people would either think it was weird or I was bragging...

Anyway though! Yeah, mine's like...standard yankee lower-back tattoo. It's super-pretty, I'm just used to tattoos in that position being an even bigger question from people than tattoos normally are.

[vdova]

That's quite the mark.

[ that is not a mark, that is a full back tattoo holy shit ]

[starshaper]

I knoooooooooooooow!! I wish I had known that I should have been looking for a painting, or something that's like a really big tattoo instead of a small mark somewhere...

[ look, it's not like she'll deny that it's more like those instead of a mark, it's why she says that part about her mom up there in the post. ]

[vdova]

Are they all that big?

[ she hasn't found her's yet, you see ]

[thornsofmalkav]

Wow, Usagi. That's impressive. I think Jules still has the record for biggest, but that's because he's taller and also it goes down through his semi-invisible tail.

[starshaper]

It's really, really impressive but instead of wow Usagi, shouldn't we be saying wow Strength?? Or wow Durga?? ...But I guess I'm glad I'm a short Japanese girl, who doesn't have a tail unless these things could cover my legs, arms and the frontside of my body too.

Is it really a mark if it's art or tattoo like this? Not that I want her to take it away or change it to something else even if that would be possible but I guess that's impossible anyway!

[thornsofmalkav]

Nah. You're not the only one who's got art or a tattoo. You should really see Jules'. He's got, like, a surfing pelican and giant roses and stars.

[smokeandcarbs]

I was marked by Strength too, but it's...very different from yours.

[Why does she get cute roses, bunnies and lions and he gets a scar behind his neck? Is that supposed to increase his badassery levels?

Spoilers: Jean has no badassery to start with. ]

[starshaper]

Woooow, you're in team Strength too? ...Ehehe, but mine is probably somehow related to how my name means rabbit of the Moon and roses are a symbol of love or being in love and maybe she thought I represent both pretty well.

[smokeandcarbs]

[Jean wonders how she manages to say all those things at once. Honestly, she reminds him of his little sister when she was a teenager.]

Love...that's right.

[White roses were his mother favorite flowers.]

Strength must have really liked you.

[reallymean]

That's...a very dramatic mark.

I don't know if mine occurred before or after I met the Empress, but we spoke before I returned to Liminal Space. Does your fiance know who marked him?

[reincarnatedprince]

I'm not quite sure. Arcana symbolics aren't something that I've studied.

The mark has a rabbit silhouette on a full moon's surface.

[starshaper]

It is?? Maybe she just nailed the fact that if someone made a manga or anime about my life, then it would be an extremely dramatic.

Woooow, you're marked by Empress? Somehow my mind keeps thinking, that we're marked by the same Arcana but you being marked by a likely option for future me makes even more sense. Maybe I'll remember that from now on, I'll try to at least! Oh and the first thing that happened to me when I arrived here was talking with my Arcana, but seems like Mamo-chan didn't but he's totally new here. [Not that they aren't used to things changing suddenly without any warning even back home, so no big deal but it's still .... something, weird is not the best word for it maybe.]

[flatteries]

That is.. quite elaborate.

[ So much so that Inigo has the mental equivalent of "blinking and staring in confusion" for a moment before his thoughts continue.

(At least he should be thankful he can't broadcast images yet, because he's definitely blushing since oh by Naga that's a girl's skin, he is too sensitive for this---) ]

I-Is it normal for it to be that big?

[starshaper]

I think she had fun with the fact that my name means rabbit of the moon... Also, one of the infinity cats is styled after my cat, Luna, back home and the other is Luna's partner, Artemis and the Arcana herself is about kind gentleness and she just happened to get an extremely affectionate moon rabbit to her team.

[Hi, did you mean ramble away about what all of that means?

Also hello person, who knows Nagas to be something else than polar bear dogs, that's going to be confusing with Korra and her dog but more importantly on things here.... Usagi can't broadcast images herself either, reasons why she needed Jean's help for that part.

What happens if they go to a jaunt, where everyone's topless or completely naked like that mermaid culture and he investigates there?? More importantly, that was all okay to Mamoru and that's ... kind of the only opinion that matters to Usagi but sorry for your mind suddenly being invaded by that sight, mister.]

No! [Wait, she pauses...] ...At least I don't think so? I think most people have something small or at least smaller... Not that I mind mine being what it is, I love it!

[tookashirototheknee]

I have no idea if mine showed up before I talked to Joan. I was wearing a long-sleeved bodysuit at the time.

That is... pretty spectacular, though. Man.

[starshaper]

Who is Joan? I think it's my first time hearing that name. Why a long-sleeved bodysuit?

[Will she ever stop asking questions? No, but everyone can always choose not to answer if she's asking something too personal or anything that they just don't want to answer for one reason or another.

Usagi giggles even if he may not be able to hear it now when the live broadcast is over.]

Thanks, certainly wasn't expecting something called a mark to be anything like that.
