maya didn’t even plan on going to the stupid ball or whatever it was called. but she heard there was free food, and what was better than free food?? nothing. the petite blonde stood by the table, never leaving its side. granted, half of the stuff were tasteless but free food was still free and she couldn’t pass that up. she was munching on a cracker, when a purse flew right from the dance floor, landing just by her feet. if that wasn’t weird enough, something flew out of purse as well then blasted a blinding light, causing maya to cover her eyes. when the brightness subsided, maya’s mouth was in ajar. what the hell was that?? she watched as a girl ran after the purse and crouched down by her feet. maya blinked, realizing the girl had said something, “what?” she asked, not knowing what she was referring to–then she followed the other’s gaze by her shoes, maya’s eyes widened at the sight, “what is that?!” she exclaimed, staying still.

star wasn’t used to shoving spells back into her wand. it felt...inhumane. she typically just left the poor things scattered on the battlefield (typically marco’s backyard or a more public location) but somehow they always found a way back into her wand. because the other girl seemed so alarmed, star immediately scooped spider with a top hat into her hand and dropped him on the wand. thankfully, a beam of light appeared and he sunk right back in. “phew,” she said in relief. “oh, just spider with a top hat. he’s great!! he dances and tells jokes -- but...the gala is busy enough as it is.” she doubted he’d accidentally use the laser gun in his hat considering she wasn’t in any danger, but she didn’t want to risk it.

and then there were none was one of dipper’s favorite books, so he was wary of the entire evening. luckily for him, he had a magical princess by his side in case things went south. she reminded him of his twin sister and he hoped to finally introduce them at the gala. his gaze fell upon the wand and he studied every inch of it “can anybody cast them or does it only respond to the owner?” he asked, his eyes still fixed on the object. “do you think i could get one, too?“

she bit her lip, because he instinct was to bite on her wand but it wasn’t currently in her possession (she clearly treated powerful familiar heirlooms with care). “yeeeah...technically. i mean, i had a magic guide and a book but i didn’t pay much attention to either.” to her it was perfectly expected that people wanted to steal her wand specifically because she wasn’t the only one who could use it, but she didn’t say anything about that. instead, she just laughed at the question. “not one like that. it’s been passed down in my family for generations.”

           her hands clasp at star’s excitedly,  this may be the second time she’s bonded with someone so fast but alas,  marinette  LOVES  having a real friend here.  she bites her pink painted lips,  blue eyes hopefully as she looks over at her  beautiful date  for a split second,  before returning to star.    “   i hope it is  !  even if it isn’t,  though,  i’m really just happy to be here with him.  we’re in this together and that’s important,  i think.   ”   it means she isn’t alone,  it means that he isn’t alone,  on a gorgeous night like this.  marinette perks up at the compliment.   “   yeah,  thanks but  -  sheesh,  girl  !  look at you  !  do you have a gorg date tonight too  ?  oh,  he said it looks good on me,  if that counts  !   ”

star nods along as marinette speaks, her expression a mixture of serious and excited. she knows exactly what marinette means. there’s nothing more important than having a friend who stays by your side during the most difficult times -- like being trapped in an amusement park, for example. “you’re right. and friendship is the best foundation for romance.” she smiles, shaking her hips so the loose fabric trailing from her dress swishes around her. “thank you! well--i don’t really know him, but we’re into the same stuff, so i’m happy to be here with him.” her eyes brighten at this new piece of information. “yes, that counts. even if he was just stating a fact.” star has never mentioned that she and adrien have met, and she doubts he’s said anything to her because why should she come up in casual conversation? “i think adrien is nice and friendly and a good listener, just like you. no matter what happens, i bet you stay friends for a long time.”

[rainbowflytrap]

attending a grand event like this was in her wheelhouse, but she usually didn’t have a near-stranger as a date. though they hadn’t talked much, star liked dipper, especially for the interest he took in her stories where most humans found her strange. “well...be careful, okay?? this is the most precious thing i own,” she said gravely, handing the wand over gingerly with two hands. “you can’t see anything, but there are tons of spells in that baby.” // @sketchedpcems

            “   star  !   ”   cue a small squeal,  she getting up from the table to where her and adrien were seated,  excusing herself to greet her newfound friend.    “   oh,  thank god,  you’re here too.  i’m going to need  MAJOR  moral support here,   ”   marinette starts to ramble,  taking the blonde’s hands.    “   i’m here,  with  him.  as like,  a date.  i mean,  it’s a  FRIEND DATE  but it’s definitely  …  something,  right  ?   ”    ⎨ @rainbowflytrap  event call  ⎬

the moment star’s eyes land on adrien and marinette’s table, they widen and stay that way until suddenly one of them is running up to her and she smiles. she grips marinette’s hands tightly, leaning in eagerly to hear her over the music. “i saw! yes, yes, it’s something -- i mean, it could be!” immediately she thinks about the blood moon ball, how it had the potential to make her fall for tom again but instead she could almost pinpoint it as the exact moment she started falling for marco. fancy balls and galas were perfect romance fodder!! “you look beautiful, as always, by the way. has he said anything about your dress??”

[rainbowflytrap]

for once, star brought a purse with her to conceal her wand. she wasn’t trying to hide it, but it would be hard to dance if she was forced to hold it the entire time. the purse was working out until she completely forgot in was on her shoulder, leading to the bag flying across the room during a fast song. her wand blasted out a spell upon hitting the ground and she ran after it, hoping there wouldn’t much damage control (she was terrible at that). she crouched down to grab her purse, then noticed that spider with a top hat was sitting on someone’s shoe. “oh, shoot. i’m sorry! he doesn’t usually get to leave the wand much -- he must have jumped right out.” // @thefervcur

tooru was more than a little upset, though he wasn’t outwardly showing it in anyway. but, glaring down at the useless piece of technology masquerading as his phone, he can’t help but feel the slightest bit of resentment. this was only supposed to be a short vacation before university, not some sort of weird hellhole with no signal on his phone, leaving him with no way of contacting his friends or family. not that any of them are probably even awake at this time, considering japan is thirteen hours ahead of new york. smile on his face, he catches the attention of the nearest person. “can i borrow your phone? mine isn’t working.”

it had been a few days -- or, make that weeks?? she was pretty sure it was weeks, but by this point, the days were all bleeding together. being away from her parents was the norm by now, but typically she would be able to reach them via her interdimensional mirror. naturally, she hadn’t brought that to a theme park. she was on her way to one of the gift shops in search of a calendar to start marking off days when somebody stopped her. “phone? i...don’t have one. i don’t think anyone’s works, though. i’ve heard other people complaining. maybe you should just throw it in the trash!” she suggested brightly.

[rainbowflytrap]

 fcdedhearts:

           “   i mean,  i’d be watching and all.  i don’t think anything bad could happen.   ”    if only she had tikki and some luck with her,  then she wouldn’t even have to watch the blonde  !  and a happy laugh escapes her lips,  she’s glad to have made a new friend already.    “   you can do whatever you want to do,  star,  i’ve got your back,  okay  ?   ”    mari bites her lip at the comment,  forcing a quick smile on her face to keep her moral up.    “   oh,  it’s just  !  you know,  nothing special about me.  besides,  he’s like kinda famous and the only connection we have is that i sit behind him in class.   ”   and she’s been in his room a couple times as ladybug,  saved him a bit as ladybug,  there was the whole gum and rain situation but  –   “   trust me,  i don’t think it’s mutual.  i’m just,  you know,  the girl sitting behind him in class who designs stuff.   ”   a  FRIEND  as he had called her a few days ago.

“okay, if you say so!” she lowered her voice, leaning in towards marinette. “just...make sure you have a fire extinguisher.” her own wand would work as one in a pinch, but she usually got so frazzled after mistakes that it became extremely difficult for her to focus enough to fix it. star exhales a sigh of relief. “thanks.” and then she smiles back. “i think baking and designing things is plenty special! and that’s probably not all you can do.” growing up, star’s best friend had been another princess, but that was only because she’d never had to chance to meet someone her age who was...normal. within days of meeting marco, he had become another best friend. “being famous doesn’t mean you don’t want to be friends with un-famous people. i’m sure he bases friendships on something deeper than that just like everybody else. who’s his best friend, is it another ‘kinda famous�� person??” she was starting to wonder how the heck anyone ever did know a crush was mutual. “well, if that’s true, why do you like him? who’s to say he doesn’t also psych himself out by thinking ‘i’m just the guy who sits in front of her’?”

[rainbowflytrap]

 cataclysmiquc:

“I suppose it’s always a risk, but it’s also a matter of if that risk is worth it.” It’s true, even if his ring held no power here, he had to keep it on him. There was too much at risk to let it get lost or fall into the wrong hands. “Just keep fighting, huh? That’s quite a way of putting things. But you seem to have it all worked out.” He hasn’t quite caught on yet, a small tilt to his head in confusion. “Yeah? It’s generally considered nice to be around friends. Nicer than being alone, anyways.” He was lucky (sort of, ironically)— he didn’t have all of his friends around, he felt like he’d abandoned Ladybug (not that he’d really had a choice in that one): overall, it wasn’t the best, but it wasn’t the worst situation. His gaze drops when she speaks, sadness briefly flickering into his expression before returning to mostly neutral. “Ah…yeah, it is. But, having friends around helps you forget about that. Even if you miss the friends that aren’t around.”

“and for most people, i don’t think it is. i need scissors so i can get home.” there was also the fact that many of her favorite hang-outs were in different dimensions, but. “so i’m willing to protect them.” star shrugged, smiling a little at his comment. “i’m just doing my best. my wand got broken at one point, and i felt like i had screwed up, but...” she raised her wand to eye-level, shaking it back and worth. “it’s good as new now. better, even.” her friends weren’t with her, but star didn’t feel lonely. she was making new friends, which felt good, even though they didn’t replace the ones she was missing. “my friends aren’t here, but i think i’m making new ones, which is good, too!” not much scared star, but being somewhere unfamiliar, on earth, made her feel like she didn’t know enough about anything. “my best friend and i have some, um...unresolved feelings to discuss, but now i’m here and it feels like i’ll never see him again. it’s easy to take people for granted when you live with them, or just see them every day, but now that it’s been a while i wish i’d said something to him earlier.” she shook her head and smiled seemingly out of the blue. “sorry if that seemed random, he’s just the person who usually shows me how stuff works on earth, so it’s weird being here all alone.”

[rainbowflytrap]

 fcdedhearts:

            “   well,  if i can get myself into a kitchen  –  which i can most likely manage  –  then i can teach you a thing or two  !   ”    she does like helping people,  and if she can’t as ladybug,  why not give another girl some life skills  ?  specially if she considered it  rare  –  learning it would probably make her more attentive.  and marinette offers an appreciative grin.    “   thank you  !  i’m just glad i was able to help my parents.   ”   and get some of her art out there.  eyes are wide,  she shakes her head,  some energy leaving her voice.    “   no he  –  he sits right in front of me in class,  and talks to me every once in awhile.  our best friends are dating,  so it’s hard not to talk to each other.  but i don’t  …  i don’t think he thinks of me anymore than  just marinette,  unfortunately.   ”

“really, you’d actually let me use an oven??” she probably sounds about ten years old but she’s really, really good at starting fires even without an oven in proximity. “on second thought, if you just want me to mix ingredients, i can do that too.” star grins back, but it softens a moment later. sometimes star wasn’t the perfect daughter, but she followed her heart and always did what she thought was right. and in a literal sense, she had rescued her father and saved the butterfly kingdom recently, so she would agree that helping your parents was a good thing. although she didn’t always act like it, star was so afraid of letting her parents down when she became queen that she wanted to make them proud while she was still princess. “why do you say ‘just marinette’ like it’s not a good thing?? i’ve just met you and i love you. there’s always a chance that the person you like won’t feel the same, but if you never act on it, how will you ever know if someone likes you back?”

although star was used to living in bedrooms catered to her exact interests, she didn’t mind the hotel room. sure, it was boring and bland and way too polished, but the bed was big and it was comfortable and the bathroom wasn’t too small. still, she found herself wanting to spend time alone in a room less and less, so tonight she decided to stay out late and look out at the sky. on mewni and on earth, star loved the night sky. she felt her name afford her a certain kind of connection to the universe. when she heard a male voice, she jumped slightly, her brain taking an extra moment to understand that he wasn’t addressing her by name. “oh! um…of course. there’s endless amazing things up there. i’m not familiar with earth constellations, though. do you know any??”

[rainbowflytrap]

 cataclysmiquc:

“Hm…perhaps. Still, it’s risky that they could fall into the wrong hands, you know? Maybe one day though, we can have that sort of thing without too much worry.” He doubted that, knowing how humanity proved that to be true over and over again but— it was a nice thought. That people could have powers without abusing them. “Ah, that might be troublesome in that case. Perhaps another kind of failsafe would work instead then.” There’s a small raise of his brow. “Is it?” Sure, he might be a model, son of a famous designer; but he didn’t think his name was that recognizable. And then everything seems to add up, a small laugh slipping past his lips (though oblivious to the emphasis placed on certain words). “Back to all the questions, I see. That’s oddly specific, isn’t it? But, I’ve…seen friends from back home around here, yes. My father is a famous designer, we live in Paris.” Someone’s clearly been talking about him— or his father, assumably. Adrien has his guesses, but he won’t jump to conclusions (even if he’s fairly certain there’s one person here who happens to have any interest in his father’s career).  

“There’s always risk. When you have something powerful, people will always try to take it from you.” Star looked down at her wand before glancing back up at Adrien. “I’ve had to fight a lot to protect my wand. But that’s all you can do. So if someone has dimensional scissors, I guess it’s up to them to protect them, and to make sure they only lend them to trustworthy people. Some things are just worth the worry.” Marco hadn’t so much lent Star his scissors as she had borrowed them without permission, but...she needed them more than him. And she knew (hoped) he wouldn’t mind. She smiled sheepishly, relieved when he didn’t seem to catch on to her secret meaning. Although Star was dying to know is Adrien liked Marinette back, she wasn’t about to tell him what she knew. She’d have to be sneakier than that. “That’s so nice that you have friends here.” He was lucky, she thought, and it made her home sickness for her host home twinge, but she was on a new mission now. Her stuffed animal was all but forgotten. “Now you don’t have to miss them. And it’s less scary in a new place if people you love are with you.” Star gave him a pointed look.

“Marco, don’t karate him. This is … Tom.” “Demon ex-boyfriend Tom?!”

[rainbowflytrap]

 cataclysmiquc:

There’s a small smile at that, chuckling softly as he dips his head. “You are correct about that, I concede to your judgement.” It wasn’t the most pleasant thought, but he had to acknowledge that at the very least, she had a point. He can’t help but feel slightly envious of that (sure, he loved both his parents but— he wished his father was different). But he pushes that aside because really, he could be grateful for the fact that not everyone had to deal with the same things he did. He’s more curious by her answer. “That makes sense. It’s smart, but…what about if they get stolen? Do they still work like that? I wouldn’t doubt someone would try to do that.” Adrien has to ask because well; he’d always been chosen by the miraculous as far as he was aware, but given the fact Hawkmoth was always trying to steal them— he can’t help but find parallels between their situations. He’s a bit sheepish when he realizes he hasn’t introduced himself (he’s glad she doesn’t seem to particularly mind that, he’s sure that was a lack of manners). “Star? That’s a really nice name. I’m Adrien Agreste, it’s nice to meet you. And, ah, don’t mention it. I’m happy to be able to help.”

She beamed at his defeat. It’s not that she enjoyed other people’s losses...she just enjoyed her own victories more. “Thanks!” Star looked at the ground and bit her lip. It wouldn’t be a very convincing argument when her own best friend had stolen Star’s very first pair of scissors, but she thought he deserved her honestly. “Weeeeell...to tell you the truth, my old scissors were stolen. Not by me! But...still. The girl who stole them is a good person. So, I guess, maybe the kind of person who would steal the scissors isn’t evil so much as...unpredictable and irresponsible.” They were only fourteen when Star was given those scissors, though, so this behavior was somewhat acceptable. Now Star had Marco’s scissors, so everything was fine! “That’s a good suggestion -- scissors should only work for the person who earned them! Then again, I wouldn’t be able to use the ones I have, so...” Not that they worked here anyways. She grinned at the compliment. “Aw, thank you. Your name is...oddly familiar, actually.” Her eyes widened in realization before she schooled her features, asking nonchalantly, “You don’t happen to have friends here with you, by any chance? I’m sure they love you -- for being so helpful, ya know.” Smooth. “Also, random question, definitely not something I heard from anyone else: are you the son of a fashion designer?? And you’re French, right? Paris??”

[rainbowflytrap]

 cataclysmiquc:

“Yeah, that’s a fair point. Too slow and everyone else might pay the price. But at times like this, when you can afford to take your time, you should. You might learn more that way.” It’s true, too slow and him and Ladybug risk tiring out their Miraculous or letting the akuma escape. Neither of which were the best options, generally speaking. “Ah. But your parents sound like they were pretty good parents at least.” He’s biased— his father being generally absent and restricting his freedom, sort of explained his view on certain things. He shakes his head when she speaks. “Well, it might be in some senses, but…just thinking in theory, when humans discover new things, they don’t always think about what the consequences of their actions might be, or know about them if they exist. Or, they have an idea of what the consequences could be, and use it to their advantage. Not all humans have the best intentions.”

It didn’t take much for him to understand exactly what she meant. Perhaps he had similar experiences -- although, there probably weren’t monsters trying to steal his wand. He didn’t appear to even have one. “I can appreciate your outlook, but what about this: we’re trapped here, maybe forever, so there’s probably no way I could avoid seeing every inch of this place eventually. Right??” The thought would have been more upsetting if she wasn’t trying to win an argument. “I love them just the way they are,” she said with a smile. Even when her father visited her on Earth and destroyed the Diaz family’s home. “Oh, I think we could avoid anything terrible. You have to earn your dimensional scissors from Hekapoo, not just anyone can have them. And she reaaaaaally makes you work for it.” Not that Star had earned hers at all, but Marco spent sixteen years fighting to get his, so! “Even in other dimensions, you have to prove you deserve things that are powerful.” Star’s only claim to her wand was that she was a Butterfly, so only hoped that she deserved it. Suddenly, she stopped and jumped a little, turning to look at him. “Oh, yeah! Since you’re being so nice and helping me, it’s rude of me not to introduce myself: I’m Star Butterfly. Thanks again for looking with me, and for the nice conversation.”
