Opening
The session opens a couple of days before the Pizza Party is sent off to the Antique Mall.
Moki is on the roof, drunk. Shooting bottles in the air that Kimmy throws after finishing drinking.
Kate pulls up to the mall, almost getting struck with an arrow from one of the bottles. She looks different. A fresh hairdo and fresh dye in her hair.
They all get to chatting about how the Mokis are holding up. What the struggles are, and what's really going on between Moki and Usagi.
The conversation revolves around what Usagi doesn't like about the Mokis, and how they can potentially move forward. It circles back to that even if Usagi has tried to apologize, it's meaningless if spoken to Yokai Moki. The person who needs to hear it most isn't ready to just yet. And even then, Yokai Moki is still somewhat insulted.
The scene shifts into Moki's thoughts, where regular Moki is Normal Moki is trying to figure out how to fit normalcy back into her life. She's trying to piece it all together without it all going poorly or being too overwhelming for her.
Moki is interrupted by the sound of crackling. She turns around to see a campfire in her mind. She approaches the fire, and is transported to a desert as she approaches it. The sky is a starry night sky. Supplies surround the camp and the place feels homely.
She loses herself in the campfire, watching the smoke float up into the starry expanse above, until she hears an acoustic guitar playing the opening to Wish You Were Here
She looks to the source of the sound to see the camp has been filled with others. The first person she notices is someone with heavy armor, resting on a large sword. They have black horns showing from the top of their helmet, and there are two red ribbons tied to the top and bottom of each horn. Another person she notices is a man in silk clothing. He looks at Moki excitedly, as if he did something incredible. He exclaims, "I told you to trust my tarot!"
Playing the guitar to Moki's right is Steven.
Moki greets him, mentioning it's a welcome reunion. He replies it's something like that. Moki notices Steven's more decked out than usual.
Steven pulls out a skillet and empties a can of beans on it. Steven then proceeds to explain that they've got someone the party knows. As Moki asks, the person in the armor laughs under their breath. Steven tells Moki that they "wear her face." -- confirming that this is Red Moki.
Moki moves towards her and asks what's going on. Red Moki removes her faceplate, and despite the darkness, Moki can tell that her skin color has changed. From red to gray. Moki asks what she's doing here, and she taps the sword behind her.
Moki taps it as well, and feels her shard of excalibur resonate. Moki asks if she pieced excalibur together, Gray Moki responds that she has not remade excalibur, but she's just as confused about it.
The scene begins to fade away. Steven says that his group will try to figure things out on their end. Moki responds that she'll try to help out from her end.
