OPEN SHIP WITH ME POST

[desertions]

I'm in a very shippy mood and mostly on top of my tags right now so I thought instead of combing through memes I'd leave this as an open post.

Basically leave me prompts: quotes, pictures, song lyrics, whatever with a muse and what muse of mine you want and we'll see what happens. Alternately, if you don't request a specific muse you can leave it up to me to choose who i throw at them.

I make no apologies for the choices made when that happens.

So please, come and enjoy all the ships with me!!

"Now it's me." She agrees with a nod of her head. "I like to think she's still out there somewhere."

Maybe it's silly, but she still wants to meet Sailor V someday. She just seems so cool. It seems so easy with her, the way it never feels easy for Usagi.

"I dodge cameras."

Though they both know that it's more a case of him being so good at that stealth thing that any photographers or reporters in the vicinity likely had no idea he was even there. He hangs back unless she needs him, fully confident in her ability to handle a situation without needing his help all the time.

"You think she's one of yours?" A senshi like Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter.

[odangos]

"I don't know. I've asked Luna but she never confirms or denies anything."

Which she isn't sure what to make of that, honestly. She smiles a little to herself.

"I want her to be, though."

She feels like she would be a good ally. They can use as many of those as possible.

[zorro]

Luna also seems to think he's working in league with the Dark Kingdom, when Mamoru's not doing so — at least, not consciously. If he is an ally of theirs, he hasn't been made aware of it. Unfortunately, it's something to consider, given all the games in his memory and everything he simply doesn't know about himself.

"You could use another person on your side," he offers, as if reading her thoughts.

[odangos]

She blinks, smiling a little as he speaks what she was more or less just thinking of. Her head bobs in agreement with him.

"It would be nice. We could use all the help we can get."

Luna tells her she needs to be the leader now. She has to find the Princess and protect her. It sounds like too much -- Usagi isn't quite sure she can handle a task this big.

[zorro]

"Help you can trust."

Since it's clear that her feline adviser and the other senshi don't trust him. Mamoru doesn't even trust himself half the time. What person blacks out and finds themselves on the clear other side of town? For all he knows, he could be taking part in dastardly deeds without realizing it and Luna's been right about him all along.

"I'm sorry I can't be that person."

[odangos]

"I trust you."

It comes out without thinking. Maybe it's foolish, maybe she shouldn't but she does trust him. She doesn't have any rhyme or reason to why she does -- she simply does.

"But Sailor V...she's been doing this longer than I have. It would be nice to have someone with more experience around."

Maybe take some of that weight off her shoulders. She's not sure she can be the leader she needs to be.

[zorro]

"But your friends don't."

He says it without malice. He doesn't blame them, doesn't hold it against them. There are times when he doesn't trust himself.

"Yes, it would. And she may know something about the enemy that we don't. She could be a valuable asset to this world."

[odangos]

"No. They don't. Luna says I shouldn't."

But whether she should or not, she does. She can't help it.

She nods her head emphatically. "She could be. It's hard to explain but I feel like I'm supposed to meet her, you know?"

[zorro]

"Luna may be right."

He'll admit that to her. He hasn't exactly broached that topic with her, but he's compelled to let her know that even he isn't sure. Were he more confident in his standing, he would've protested her feline mentor's suspicions, but her cause for concern is just when Mamoru doesn't know whether he can trust himself some days.

[odangos]

"She's not."

The words come out firmly, as if she's very sure of that. Usagi feels sure of it anyway. Maybe she shouldn't, but she does.

[zorro]

"But she might. What if I am the enemy?"

Worry seeps into his voice, his own self-doubt shining through that cool exterior.

[odangos]

"You're not!"

The words rush out of her mouth without thought. She blushes slightly, ducking her head.

"I don't know how I know that, I just do."
