The memorial was made out of bubble gum.

Enough waiting. Star turned to Pheonix. Shadow would get what was coming to her.

"We all knew it was leading up to this." Star sighed. "You know, one day, Pheonix, all of this is going to hang in the balance. Something will go wrong and Fate will be furious with us all. It'll be our punishment for taking this little sector and doing what we've done. So I need to know that you care about me. I need to know that you want me, that you couldn't make it if I wasn't here. Show me. Show me what it is that makes my eyes your oceans. Because on that day, it's all going to come down to one thing. I know I can't do it alone. No one can do anything that way. Especially me, so I've seen. I keep finding more darkness than light and it scares me. I'm going to have a decision to make that day and it will all boil down to what you say right now. No one asks to be a hero. They're just made block by block, a bit more every day. I'm no hero. But Shards, sometimes you make me feel like I could be."

Narrator Pheonix's breath caught in his throat. He looked at Star with awe.

"I- I..." He breathed in, heart racing. "I see the good in you Star. There's light in there. I know there is. Even when you do too good a job of hiding it."

He stepped closer. "I... I love you, Star. For who you are."

She blinked. She knew she was thinking too much like Thought. Inspecting, finding what she liked. She internally shrugged. There was nothing wrong with him. She liked him a lot. Why couldn't she get out of her cynical way of thinking? Storms, do it like Thought, say it straight. "I don't know how to feel about you. I think I love you. I'm not sure."

Narrator Master of Silence offered BoS a cookie.

“What type of cookie? It better have raisins in it.”

[Turtle373 he/him]

But instead of raisins, it was carrot chunks

[Jaywalk he/him]

The chunks of Carrot Man.

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Star wrinkled her nose. "Jay, that's gross."

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Narrator Master of Silence shook his head in disgust and vanished the cookie.

Instead, he offered BoS a voidapple.

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Star was curious what the Master of Silence was up to. The mimes' secrecy got on her nerves sometimes.

[Gancho Libre he/him]

Of course, the mime could never tell her. Because mimes can't talk. So Star was forever cursed with an incurable curiosity.

[Truthless of Shinovar he/him]

Curiously enough.

Star eyed Pheonix again. He was involved with them. Maybe she could get him to talk one day.

Gancho Libre had obviously never heard of the trick some mimes could use to speak.

[Truthless of Shinovar he/him]

You just had to force it out of them. It took time, but they all talked... eventually.

[Gancho Libre he/him]

Just as soon as their shift was over.

[Jaywalk he/him]

It was their makeup that kept them from speaking.

[Lunamor she/her]

As it was painted over their mouths and hardened to stone.

[Jaywalk he/him]

One of them, named Ooglamandragoran, began beating his head against the ground.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

The mimes collectively glared at the Narrators for godmodding them.

[Truthless of Shinovar he/him]

But the mimes weren't narrators, so they couldn't do anything about it. Ooglamandragoran grimaced in pain.

She took it, and made a meme. But this meme was so great it could never be shared.

 

She also enjoyed watching the mimes hurt themselves. The only downside is that you couldn’t hear them scream.

Unless you tuned into the correct radio station.

Wow, this got dark. Oh, well. I guess I kinda started it.

[BringerofShadows she/her]

BoS summoned a radio and switched to the right channel.

Narrator Star was furious. "Shadow!" she screamed, summoning her spear. "You have crossed a line! You take pleasure in the pain of others. You have tortured not only a fellow Narrator but the mimes who are in our service. They work for nothing and serve to fix our own mistakes. You say you hate romance, yet you dragged Marsh and I's story along, never letting him rest until he had killed himself and I turned into an uncontrolled creature of unfeeling nihility! You bring nothing but pain and you don't deserve your throne in the void, nor a title or crown at all. So present you with a choice." Star threw her spear at Shadow's feet. "Either take up my spear and prove to me that you are exactly what I expect. Or tell me exactly what it is you want. Either one is fine with me. Just do either which one right."

[Jaywalk he/him]

The radio suddenly began playing a 10 hour loop of Nyan Cat.
