#OPEN MORE FUCKING PANDORA BOXES FFS

[violet-dragongirl]

I do want more stories where like...a character just goes fucking berserk without remorse or consequence and just ends the Big Problem the world has to face.

I want to see the consequences of that and hear about the beginnings of the after effects of that towards something better even though the main character created so much destruction and collateral damage in their wake

I also want stories where a character goes fucking berserk but is precise, calculative, and cautious and careful but will still end the Big Fucking Problem that plagues everyone.

I want to, again, see the consequences of that and hear about the beginnings of the after effects of that towards something better even though the main character created so much destruction and collateral damage even though they were meaningful, precise, compassionate, and thoughtful, and killed and destroyed exactly what needed to be killed and destroyed by any fucking means necessary after their cautionary strategy

I'm so fucking tired of having the Big Problem being named again and again and again and again and again, and WE DON'T GET TO THE POINT WHERE THAT PROBLEM FACES ITS FUCKING CONSEQUENCES THEY JUST CONTINUE TO EXIST I FUCKING HATE THAT GIVE ME FUCKING CLOSURE ALREADY

Freeform “Hope—cruelest of the evils that escaped Pandora’s box “ –Doc

---

Usagi had read somewhere, long ago, about a woman with a box and how it had held lots of jewels and pretty things, only the woman had dropped it and almost everything had spilled out, except for one last jewel that had been saved at the last second.

She was older now, and knew that the box had held things like 'death' and 'sickness' and other bad things, not gems, and the final not-gem that woman had saved in her box was 'hope'. Ami told her that it was actually a jar, not a box, but boxes full of treasure were more romantic than a jar of evil.

So when she'd gotten the locket from Luna, and later when the ginzuishou had fit snugly inside, she had smiled. She was protecting hope, like that lady from the story. Her name had been strange, something like Pantola? She didn't remember, exactly. Ami could tell her, she was certain, if asked. ‘She will tell you.’

No. No, no, Ami was her friend, not to be commanded for her knowledge. Usagi slurped heavily on her smoothie. The others would be proud of her - sure it had sugar but it was a fruit smoothie and thus healthy. Makoto had promised her special pancakes for everyone in the morning if Usagi tried to do less sweets in the afternoons. And she was trying! She hummed happily to herself. Oh, she should bring Mako something in return. Plants? Plant food? Usagi considered it for a half second and discarded the idea. Makoto's apartment was littered with plants and herbs of all sorts, Usagi would inevitably get something Mako already had or didn't need. She didn't want to give her something useless. Whatever she got needed to be at least a little special.

'You could heal those bruises of hers,' Usagi flinched away from the health aisle and the displays of bandages and painkillers, all but flinging herself into the beauty supplies the next aisle over. She was on steadier ground here, she and Mako and Mina were always trying new makeup and new colors and styles. Minako liked it wilder and Makoto tended towards understated, with Usagi in between, so usually there wasn't something none of them would use.

Maybe she couldn’t do ‘special’ too well at the convenience store, but the palette had some nice shades she knew Mako would like. So that was makeup for Mako, she could grab some new bright red ribbons for Mina, oh, and Ami had offhandedly mentioned needing some more pens... she needed something for Rei. Rei was hard to buy for. It couldn't be expensive, it had to be useful, it had -

'You could be more useful. This fight could be over now.' Usagi's grip on her shopping basket tightened, knuckles white. 'You know how.'

She didn't have any more smoothie to distract herself with.

'Summon your soldiers. No more skirmishes.'

Usagi smiled tightly at the cashier, hoping it didn't look strange on her face. The exchange of social niceties was good. Routine made it easier to not say anything too wild. She relaxed a little outside of the store. She hadn't noticed snagging the magazines, but they were on her receipt. Good, she didn't want to add thievery to her list of accomplishments. 'It's rightfully yours. All of it.'

Usagi shook her head to clear it. Oh, she hadn't read this issue yet! The latest issue of 'Sparkling Mermaid Priestess Aqua-chan' was out. She started to open it but paused. Rei. She'd let Rei read it first, that'd be her gift. And she'd get Rei some cookies later, too.

Usagi smiled as she tossed her empty cup in the trash. She wouldn't let this thing that had come with the ginzuishou win. Hope was the only thing that lady had saved in her box, right? So if her locket was the box, and the ginzuishou was hope, then this thing must be one of the evils that escaped? And it was trying to get back in? Or let hope out?

She’d lost the metaphor. At least it wasn’t as bad as one of Minako’s proverbs. She would have probably said something like hope is the end of death, or something equally strange. ‘They would be deathless. You’d never need to grieve for them again.’

Maybe she’d just get another smoothie, the shop was close by and she almost had enough stamps for a free one too. A flashing glint of silver caught her eye; she froze, staring at her reflection in the shop window. Was that the light, or had her blond hair turned silver? She tilted her head and her reflection mirrored the action. Odd. Had her eyes always looked so cold?

It wasn't until clouds hid the sun that she realized her lungs were burning. She inhaled for what felt like the first time in ages. It had been an illusion. Shaking her head to clear it, she took another look. Nothing strange now.

Usagi bit her lip. It was okay. She had this under control. The others would tell her, after all, if she should be worried. Rei would have sensed if there was anything wrong.

Right?

She should go get that smoothie.

...have I just not seen you write before for...reasons? You're very talented! That whole first paragraph is absolute fucking FIRE, I gasped audibly the first time I read it. Anyway, proof positive that this is amazing angst is that I read it through eagerly and it's about USAGI ffs. The elements of horror in this, the flip between cheer and seriousness, A++
