3rd☆Star: Burning Out [radiationfield]

[tosurpassgod]

Action - Somewhere Around Town - Morning-ish

[If one were to look around town, daring to go out between the roving bands of cannibals, one might come across a peculiar sight - a patch of street with dozens upon dozens of cannibal bodies strewn about. And in the middle of this patch of chaos? Black☆Star and his faithful weapon partner Tsubaki,

T-T

[It's taking everything in her to stand upright, even with him as her crutch. Her head feels like it's been cleaved open and she's never seen so much of her own blood before.]

[It takes a moment for er to register Black☆Star's words.]

Black☆Star, you'll never burn out. Even if we don't make it, you'll still be the brightest star.

Oh god this thread...

[tosurpassgod]

[His voice lowers when he looks over at her]

Don't even start that. We'll make it. We're the greatest team ever, so we can't fall here.

I know, so much angst will happen...

[bestweaponever]

[She attempts a smile and nod, but her knees buckle.]

[It's not funny that it happened at the exact moment he mentioned falling, but she can't help laughing. And it's not her usual gentle laugh.]

Sorry, my legs are shaky.

ALL THE ANGST

[tosurpassgod]

[He catches her as she buckles, but his body is hardly much steadier than hers. Not that he'll never admit it]

You should rest. You'll want to get your strength back for later. I can stand watch.

Action 2

[ Emperor is probably one of the closest to being unaffected by the radiation. For once he's glad that he arrived here in the shape of a blue ball of fire. Not being made of solid material helps in this situation. Not to mention that the cannibals just got burnt if they went after him.

It doesn't look like these two are quite as lucky though. He hovers over to Black☆Star and Tsubaki. }

Cool it brat. Blood rushing to your head's just gonna kill you faster.

[tosurpassgod]

[Black☆Star's eyes never leave the... well, fireball? Whatever it is. He doesn't move though, realizing he does have to conserve his energy]

We'll be fine as long as you don't touch her. I don't care what else you do.

[chibi_emperor]

[ Yes, fireball. Ever seen a talking fire before? He comes up in Black☆Star's face, inspecting the damage. Then, he goes ahead inspecting Tsubaki. Yes, these kids will be dead before morning. ] You'll be useless if you die. And I don't see any use in killing her besides ending her suffering.

[tosurpassgod]

[He's seen plenty of weird stuff, but that's a first. But, it's still less annoying than Excalibur]

I don't plan on dying. There's too much to do. I still - [Please hold for a coughing fit]

... I still have to surpass god. And who'll protect Tsubaki if I go?
