"In the name of the Moon, I shall punish you!" "I'll finish the beast with my healing powers!" "Moon Prism Power Make Up!" "Oooh, impressive, Celes! But! MOON GORGEOUS MEDITATION!"
Well. Jade and Celes couldn't in honesty face each other; not after they found each other on the Sailor Moon Cosplay LJ community. So, they instead had a contest!
Beating up Marguilis for silver- er, Moon points. Or something. All the judges (an amused Yuri, confused Robo and hungry Ayla) knew was that the stadium was packed to the gills with fans, watching Celes and Jade go at the rather confused Marguilis. (Jin had been more than happy to lure him there, especially when he learned he got to wear a tuxedo.)
Eventually, however, Celes was forced to use the line she had hoped to avoid.
"I'll finish the beast with my healing powers! ...and that ends the match, since I fail to do anything of use to him with it. You're good, Jade!"
Jade tossed back his hair. "'course I am. You're hardly a slouch, though. Saturday, the local group of bosses is having a marathon; you can come with, okay?"
"Sure. I've got no real plans. I'll drag along Locke if you guys want a chew toy."
"Just have him dress up like Jin or, alternately, Usagi, and there won't be many problems."
Ah, relatively peaceful conflict resolution. Or so everyone but Marguilis thought.
Getting hit by a sword infused with the power of Bolt-X (A favor from Jade to Jin as payment) must be... shocking.
