Mun keeps tossing ideas. Guess where they're landing?

Oi Mun!

I know you have forgotten about me. I've come to terms with that, but t-this isn't acceptable. All of your "tossed ideas" get pushed to the back of this space of yours, and guess where they're landing? I'm getting tired of crumpled paper landing on my head. I'm going to need an umbrella soon. I'm not a slob by any means and just because I'm living in the dark corners of this place doesn't mean I don't have feelings. I'm not asking for a spot in the lime light even though I should. I'm just asking for you to be a little more considerate. The least you can do is be more mindful of where these things are going (and being a little more committed won't hurt either).

I hope you'll at least think about this.

Signed,
Mamoru Chiba

Is that what the hat's for?

[ The brim would need to be a bit larger to deflect well, though. ]

The hat is to add an element of sophistication to the tuxedo like a perfect marriage. But since I haven't had a reason to wear it these days... Sad to say such a classy piece has been more of a waste basket lately.

[ speaking of a hat with a larger brim...

No mun, I'm not accepting your "peace offering" of a sombrero so you can call me "Sombrero Kamen." ]

Life's difficult.

[ She tips her own, hatless head back, as if contemplating the total lack of paper falling from the sky onto her.

....nah, she's done being a jerk. ] You could always help them make up their mind.

The limelight isn't all it's cracked up to be. She keeps calling me, and I quote, "a ridiculous human being with terrible social skills."

[...]

My social skills are fine.

They seem to have a bad habit of doing these things.

Catch.

[A familiar looking umbrella is tossed to him]

Mamoru-san, it seems you are cursed to have wads of paper thrown at you. Perhaps we should have Rei cleanse you?

Mamo~chan!

[Give her a brief moment to just stare at you with those worried blue eyes.]

Are you alright, Mamo~chan~?! Did she do something to you? Are you hurt?

I hope she hasn't forced you into any of those bad games my moon-chan is talking about.

It's especially difficult when dodging wads of paper, but I digress.

Hm...

[ He was thinking about what that would result in, many of the outcomes leading to gridlocks and possibly getting thrown into another post-apocalyptic storyline. Buuuuut... ]

I suppose I could do that.

[ Is that... another him? His eyes dare not deceive him. He knew he'd been out of the loop for a while but he was slightly taken back by this. A very surreal moment, but what the heck? Why not run with this. ]

I think what she meant to say was "A very chivalrous, and suave, intellectual." That's what I would have called you anyway.

[ Hey who said Mamoru couldn't be slightly full of himself every now and then? If not to anyone else, at least to himself. ]

I'm inclined to agree with the later. ~~our~~Your social skills seem fine to me.

[...]

She started laughing when you got to "suave." At least she let me have "chivalrous" and "intellectual." Me or us. I've given up trying to understand any of this, to be honest.

[Especially after his run-in with an Usagi who called him Mamo-chan and tried to hug him. Speaking of which...]

Tsukino is looking for you. Assuming you don't mind being called Mamo-chan.

[ Even though he was out of the loop with things, he still thankfully had his reflexes which helped him catch the umbrella. He looked at it recognizing a similar one he had seen in the past. ]

Thank you, this will be helpful. You have good taste. I remember a similar umbrella fondly.

Unfortunately I'm starting to believe that I am also.

That might not be a bad idea. I haven't seen Rei or any of you in ages. It's always nice to see a familiar face.

U-Usako...? [ What he really wanted to say was 'Is that really you??' He couldn't believe it. It's been so long since he's seen her. The last thing he wanted to do was worry her about anything. ]

No, it's nothing like that. [ Though there was that one time he was forced into that post-apocalyptic game but that was way in the in the past, however, far from forgotten about. ]

It's more of... just a frustrating situation than it is anything else. I'll be okay, Usako. I don't want to worry you. [ He smiled. Just seeing her seemed to make all the bad things go away. ]

Yes, it's me!!![He'd never lie to her, right? If he says nothing bad happened to him then it must be true.]

Oh~!? But I'll always be worried about Mamo~chan! [Specially when she's a game where she thinks she failed to save everyone from Sailor Galaxia.] You know, when I'm frustrated, ice cream and cake always make things better.

[ Hey, Haruka's dealing with a post-post-apocalyptic storyline. There are worse fates. ]

Any decent options?

I guess two out of three are good odds. [ A shrug would accompany the response. ]

...

[ It was weird to hear himself addressing Usagi as "Tsukino." However, there was also the fact it had been a while and has become easy to forget about a time where things were formal between them. ]

Thank you for the message. No, I don't mind that name at all.

[Somewhere in there is the irony of forgetting when he had amnesia.

~~That was a bad joke. I'll just show myself out.~~]

I thought so. It was a very... interesting conversation, though not quite as interesting as this one.

You're very welcome. As do you.

[Of course, it was a pain to get said item...]

It is quite nice to see yours as well, Mamoru-san. [Ami appreciates the young man, not just as her future king and Usagi's boyfriend, but as another intellectual.]

And I suspect your presence will bring about a particular person.

[ D'oh! The mun here is amused by the joke. ]

I agree. It's not every day one gets to have a conversation with themselves, in the literal sense anyway.

If by particular you mean a young lady with a certain hairstyle, I do hope so. [ Mamoru would smile on that note. It's been especially long since he's seen her and would be a nice surprise to run into her again. ]

I guess there's no changing your mind then. [ The reply was lighthearted. That was one one of the things he loved most about her -- her genuine concern and love for others. ]

Ice cream and cake sound like a good idea, Usako. Although, maybe not both at the same time. [ Everything in moderation after all. Besides, he would be lucky to find a way out of this place one of these days to enjoy either. ]

I'm leaning more and more towards the umbrella option. Anything else seems to lead to the mun brewing up more ideas or putting me in one of those games that don't end well for me.

Hmm, it would seem she commented just beneath me so it seems to have worked.

Hai~![Yep. Even if you tell her to not do something, he should know her enough to know she will never follow. She's just one stubborn moon rabbit.]

Oh, but there's this place. They offer cakes which are topped with ice cream and chocolate syrup! I should bring you and Chibiusa there someday! [Though, not at the same time.]

[ Oh, it's cute you think you're going to get a choice. Haruka's so amused. ] Better make sure it's extra-wide.

[ Still, she wishes you the best, in an absent "you're doomed and you don't know it" way. ] Good luck.

[Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week.]

At least this somehow makes more sense. [But...] You and her? Really?

[Not so much judgmental or surprised as confused.]

[ He almost laughed at the question. Oh boy this seemed all too familiar. ]

I remember asking myself the same question at a time as well. We have... a long history [ and future ] together. If it doesn't make sense now, if you and I are destined to have the same future, it will one day.

[ If anyone was going to find a place like that in existence, it was going to be her. He couldn't help but smile at her enthusiasm. It was contagious even if he himself didn't externalize it as she did. ]

You never cease to amaze me. I'd love to go some day, my treat of course.

I'll make a note of that. Thanks for the luck, I'll definitely be needing it.

[Sigh.]

Very little makes sense at the moment.

[ Yeah, there's still a silent smile on her face at your expense. Well, you'll learn. And if you encounter your Princess, you'll look after each other. Guarding you isn't her business. ] See you around.

[ ....Did she just attempt to sweep out of here? In a suit jacket instead of a cape?

You'd better believe she pulled it off, though. ]

Oh! You don't have to worry about money too!

[It's the best part ever!] All you need to do is promise you'd help out in the cafe, once in a while, and they'll give you any dessert you want, once a day!
