+Ed Venture Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I LOVE Star's journals! Listening back on Butt's reaction to his love of Star seems so cheesy now... I'm glad you could use the links I gave you in your impressions recordings. I enjoy how you portrayed each of the characters through their voices. I feel Tom's insanity and mad scientist-ness, I hear Butt's awkwardness and loyalty, Shadow's voice makes me want to hate her and shows her cynical nature. Thank you!!! 2

I had a lot of fun doing all of it. Voices are powerful things, but only because of the words. Also, I think it's cute how much you can tell about us from what I drew. Shadow's separated from the group, Butt is protective of Star, Pheonix and Star are close, yet distant. That's what I tried to do, anyway.
+Ed Venture Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Quote I totally saw that in your art. You really have a gift. I had to edit my Signature to put in a Star quote, like it? It is one of the coolest things I've ever heard said and it is so true. We need to get back to the plot. Are we waiting for Pheonix again? 1

I was trying to get my younger sisters to sleep and I told them about Star and they were like, "Well, tell us more, tell us the good part! What happens next, how does it end?" and I'm like, "Well, it hasn't ended yet. But I know how I want it to end. I've already written it." 1

Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 1 Quote Well, that's what happens when you create a hateable character like Shadow. She's pretty rough around the edges. Hopefully we'll find out why soon! I have a new journal entry for you and something I think you'll find interesting. Star wasn't always what she is now. (look at page 516 of TLT for the quote I read aloud) As a side note, I love evil laughter. Entry 6.mp3 What Star Once Was.mp3 1
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Can't quote in an edit, and I didn't want to wait for someone else to post. Sorry, I guess. I was looking through TLT and I found this. So sad... On 5/13/2019 at 1:05 PM, Lunamor said: In the form of Shardplate. On 5/13/2019 at 1:06 PM, Butt Ad Venture said: Infinite anti-BoS Shard armor!

I've been wanting to beat her up for weeks. He's talking about Shadow... Shards, no one cares about little BoS, do they?

+Ed Venture Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Star, I just finished listing to "What Star once was" You terrify me. That was chilling, and it struck me that she really had a loose grip on reality. Question, was anyone home while you made that recording, and if so did you get any strange looks? Good job again!

Yes, everyone was home. But I'm downstairs and I could literally play my clarinet in the middle of the night and no one would hear me. And you should seriously read page 536. Star was losing her mind.
+Ed Venture Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Oof, Star needs to find a good therapist. And stop making me feel really bad about fictional characters!
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) Well, at this point, she just wants her happy ending. But villains don't get those, do they? Pheonix loves her though. I honestly can't fathom why, but he does and Star appreciates that more than she can say. On 5/14/2019 at 11:47 AM, Shard of Thought said: 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." @xinoehp512 On 5/14/2019 at 3:42 PM, xinoehp512 said: 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." On 5/14/2019 at 3:48 PM, Shard of Thought said: 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." Edit: No accompaniment, but I liked it. ( @Butt Ad Venture I wrote the chorus too!) Spoiler So write Like there ain't nothing wrong And journey on Keep it up, it's your favorite plot Write, write, write to the villain's song No regard for the thread's well-being Stumblin' around without someone by her side No! She can't survive She! Deserves the pain They're all chained To the story, to the story, to the story Chained to the Story.mp3 Edited June 24, 2019 by Shard of Thought 1

On 6/19/2019 at 9:39 PM, Shard of Thought said: "Possibly," Ember whispered. "Last time, I could reach into the timeline and pull things out, but we don't need anything here, we need to get back." "Last time, you had AJ," said Tom. "The serum is an enhancer. This time, we're hoping to rely on your telepathic powers to connect us with the others."

Increase her Voidic control?" Edited June 25, 2019 by Shard of Thought

But I'm far less certain of that working- and it wouldn't be able to accomplish much more, anyways." Tom looked up from the bowl. "They're preparing to contact us- we need to be ready." He snapped his fingers, and a key appeared out of nowhere to land in his hand. He strode over to a small box on the stern and began fiddling with it.

Star watched, letting Tom do his job. A handy character to have around, that one.

"All right then." Ember took a vial and downed the whole thing. Immediately, the air shimmered before her with heat. She could burn the entire ship if she wasn't careful. But for now, her telepathy was increased and that was all that mattered. She searched for Star with her mind.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 "Star," called Tom urgently. "Are you getting anything?"

Star stiffened. She looked at Tom and then Xino. "I believe I have taken possession of Star's body. We can communicate this way."
