plot The Cosmic Battle to Save the Thread

"Umm, sure." Heather said with a weak smile. 

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"Wonderful." Star snapped, a steaming mug appearing in her hand. "Here. Ember?"

Ember bit her lip. "I don't have tastebuds," she said awkwardly. 

"Oh. I'm sorry, Ember."

Ember said nothing, looking down at her feet.

"Well, why can't you just narrate tastebuds into existence?" Heather commented bluntly while taking the mug from Star. 

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"I don't have a stomach either," Ember said, "Or a digestive system at all. I just don't get nutrients that way."

Star thought for a moment. "How are you powered anyway? There's got to me something keeping you heated constantly."

"It's you," Ember said.

Star paused. "Come again."

"You. You power me. Your Narrative energy."

I said mug and immediately remembered that Heather needs this.

YASS

Ginger and a hint of lemon tickled her tongue, and she wondered where this conversation was heading. 

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Star raised her eyebrows. "I had no idea. You... You can't generate your own Narrative Energy?"

"Yes and no. My Narrative Core functions as a sort of amplifier. I receive a constant stream of energy from you, then it is multiplied and used to fuel me. If you were to die, I would be unable to heat myself and slowly cool down until I was a lifeless metal statue. So, until my Narrative Core were to somehow break, or you were to die, I will remain endless. But I can think of no way my Core could crack and if you die, I likely won't be needed anymore."

"That's incredible, Ember."

Ember blushed, turning her gaze away. "Is there anything you would like me to do, Master?" 

Star shook her head. "You can do whatever you want, sweetie." 

The Destroyer narrowed her eyebrows, unhappy with that response. But... there was something she wanted to do. "I would like to meet your True Love."

Narrator Star choked on her tea. "Pheo?"

"Yes. He is my master almost as much as you are." Maybe he'll have something for me to do.

Hmm...Pheo seems like a touchy subject. Heather thought.

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Star sighed. "I suppose you girls should probably meet Pheonix officially. He's... He's very sweet and loving, if a little shy." Author, I'm going to have to go with them, aren't I? "We can do that now."

[BringerofShadows she/her]

"Okay." Heather said simply. 

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"Right, then." Star gulped down the rest of her tea before realizing she probably could have just taken the cup with her. Oh, well. "Ember, you can lead the way if you want." 

Ember brightened. "Yes, Master." She opened the door and marched out, Star following behind, nervously playing with her wedding ring.

Wait, Heather doesn't realize Pheo is her stepdad right?

 

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Quote

He's not her stepdad; he and Star aren't married. But Star is technically dating him and there's that whole "he's her True Love" thing.

 

[BringerofShadows she/her]

Quote

Okay. But they will get married eventually.

Heather followed after Star, and quietly asked her, "Why so nervous?"

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Quote

Indeed. But that won't be for a while. ... I mean, in context of the RP itself, Star will marry Pheo in just a few months. But in context of us writing it... yeah, it'll be a while. Lot's of things need to happen. Lots.

Star paled. Of course she noticed. "Well... It's rather complicated." She wasn't quite sure how to continue; what if something she said worried the girl? "Heather? How would you feel if I got remarried?" She cringed. Author's Pen, that's far away. Marrying Pheo seemed so... impossible.

[BringerofShadows she/her]

Oof.

"That depends on what Pheo's drinking habits are." Heather said in a darker tone.

Star furrowed her brow. "Hmm? Why's that?"

Quote

Star doesn't actually know very much about Heather's past life.

"Nothing." Heather said quickly while taking a sip of her tea. 

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Star smiled faintly. She knew there was more to be said, but if Heather didn't want to talk about it, then that was perfectly fine. The person to be loved was so much more important than the problem to be solved. "Well, Pheonix..." She bit her lip, not quite sure of how to continue. "TVG says that Pheonix is my True Love. And I thought that was true at first, but now... I'm not so sure. It's not that I don't care for him - he's a wonderful boy, the sweetest I've ever met - but... I just can't ever envision myself..." She shook her head. "I suppose I'll just have to wait and see how things turn out."

[BringerofShadows she/her]

"Yeah, I guess so." The Inquisitor didn't know how to feel. She wanted Star to be happy, but... She was unsure if she was ready for a stepdad. But luckily, she still had time. 

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Star looked down, withdrawing slightly. "I... I would be willing to marry him if... if you needed a father. I can tell he already loves you and I..." She trailed off.

[BringerofShadows she/her]

" I don't think Pheo will be like my dad, so I shouldn't have anything to worry about. Do what makes you happy."

"Alright." Star smiled and pulled Heather close to her, kissing her forehead. "I love you, dearest, don't you ever forget that." 

[BringerofShadows she/her]

Heather laughed a bit. "I'll try."

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]
