TVG decided to wake the girl. She wouldn't like it, but... She had to know. She had more control than she thought. 

Star opened her eyes to Xino. At first, she thought it was Pheonix. Heal me, she thought deliriously. But as he came into focus, she recognized him. The pain began to wash over her and she gasped, trembling again. I will never be healed. Let me die. TVG did not respond. 

 Xino stepped back, concerned. There was pain there. He recognized it- not moments ago, he'd felt it himself. 

This was bad. But it was fixable. And he knew a person with the skills to fix it.

He held his hand out, and his blade coalesced from flames. With the other, he took Star's hand.

"To Tom Joebob," he muttered.

With a decisive motion, he swung the sword, and the pair vanished in flames.

Is this my punishment? she asked. Is this what I get for interacting with the story and trying to protect my progeny? You know nothing of her pain. Star does not deserve this torture and neither does Pheonix. You are being cruel. Please. Take back your words. Why do you cause so much pain?

The man sighed. "The story is not finished. Silence remains undefeated, and while he lives..."

“More wine.”

The door to Tom's cabin swung open and Tom strode out.

"Wine?" he said, skeptical. "Why?"

Star looked to Xino. "He cannot heal me. My wounds are... abnormal."

The pair appeared in a burst of flame at the stern of Tom Joebob's ship.

Xino turned his head sharply as Star began to speak. She was recovering, it seemed.
"I don't know about that," he said. "I've never known any wound that red serum couldn't fix."

1 minute ago, BringerofShadows said:

“…Cause…I drank it all.” Her speech was extra slurred.

Tom Joebob shook his head. "Here. Drink this."

He threw her a vial of red serum.

@xinoehp512Might want to bold those.

It was left unbolded intentionally.

They aren't on the same ship, remember? They're in different realities.

Xino carried Star over to the door of the cabin and knocked twice.

-

Tom Joebob gestured to the serum. "I would recommend drinking that, Shadow. It ought to make you feel better."

@BringerofShadows

-

Tom opened the door. "Ah, it's you!" His gaze turned to Star. "Uh-oh. What happened?"

Xino sighed. "I don't know. But she's in pain of some sort, I don't know what."

Tom tsked and rummaged through his pockets. He pulled out a vial of the red serum and flicked it to Star.

Star held the vial in her fingers and looked at her reflection in the glass. The burns on her face were so terrible. She hadn't even realized how ugly they looked. She took a shaky breath and uncapped it. The wound was a cognitive one, resulting in physical trauma. But then, she trusted Tom. She trusted him with her life. She drank it, letting its warmth wash through her.

But this was no ordinary gum. Oh no, not at all. Not by a long shot. This was magic gum, created by and for the most majestic, graceful, and powerful of all creatures. This was ghandergum.

It was Tom Venture who had stepped in the gum, not Tom Joebob.

The warmth of the serum flooded through her, healing her wounds- physical, cognitive, and spiritual.

BoS gulped it down.

The alcohol was purged from her body, restoring her to sobriety.

Her depression was also washed away by the soothing power of the serum, leaving a calm and peaceful feeling behind.

Star shivered. Her burns melted away and control over her Narrator powers came back to her. The very first thing that she did was turn her shift into a pink sweater and jeans. That was better. Much better. She suddenly felt extremely awkward in Xino's arms. "Put me down," she said.

BoS sat there. Stunned. “…Help, I’m going insane…I don’t feel melancholy anymore!”

Star quit waiting for Xino to set her down and hopped out of his arms. She smiled at Shadow.

TVG took Shadow's mind in her hands and calmed her anxieties. The change was a shocking one and it wouldn't do to have her be broken because of it.

Aren’t we on a separate boat? @xinoehp512
