[ Halt all of your daily activities, cease all production of productivity! What's that explosion in the distance? Why, it's nothing more than a loud crash of something obviously making loud noise for he purpose of attention. ]

Ya--

[ With a loud crash, the entire ground within a mile trembles. Black☆Star falls from atop a large building fist-first into the ground, punching it into a flash-photo k.o. ]

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[ He rises from the rubble, dusting off his shoulders and cracking his knuckles. With a thumbs up, he points it to himself to frame a big, shining grin. ]

Citizens of... Wherever the heck this place is! Behold, the time of darkness has come to a close! The curtain flaps shut to leave the audience without rest, at a cliff hanger, a tension-filled ending-- Only for them to swing right back open and reveal me, Black☆Star!

Do not hesitate, no need to hold applause! I am here to bring light to an otherwise dark and dreary underwater hellhole!

[ His voice tones down, and his arms cross while he perks a pout in his lips and takes a look around. ]

Of course, it goes without saying that some light being shed is pretty obviously needed. As usual, I'm way ahead of every time any time. It never ends.

Quick, my fans! Let's get up to snuff!

[Of course, some had a very educated idea of who might be found at the epicenter of such wanton, pointless destruction, and the reaper just now arriving on the scene by way of a flying skateboard (presently skimming the ground at a mere half-foot) is entirely unsurprised to see him.

Black☆Star, please, it's taking a not inconsiderable amount of willpower to not give him the rough side of his tongue for his recklessness. Standing there atop Beelzebub, hands neatly tucked into his pockets, the reaper comes to a halt at the edge of the crater, regarding coolly the shattered pavement.]

Black☆Star.

[Stay cool, Kid. It's just Black☆Star making a nuisance of himself.







...Yeah, no, not happening.]

Look at what you've done. You managed to find the only street that remained perfectly level in its entire length. Can you comprehend how difficult that is to accomplish in these conditions?

[Beelzebub rattles underfoot as the sole of one shoe stomps down on it, the monochromatically-dressed reaper becoming more animated as his ire piques.]

You've ruined it! I'll bet you haven't even taken the time to dry off before going on a rampage!

[yahaaaa]

[ Rubble continues to crumble and roll around him, but it doesn't seem to phase Black☆Star very much. His hands plant to his sides, and he perks an eyebrow as the familiar Kid makes his approach. ]

Yeah well--

[ And immediately. Goes. Off. Kid quickly berates Black☆Star for his destruction of some dumb street level, and for a while he looks dulled out. But slowly, his eyes widen a touch while his eyebrows perk. He takes a look at his still-dripping clothes, then back to Kid. ]

[ Then to a pile of rocks. ]

...

[ Then, to Kid. He'll just... slowly lower himself halfway to pick up a handful. Don't mind him, Kid, keep going, he's listening. ]

[symmetrophile]

[Don't mind if he does!

Gesturing -- with both hands in perfectly mirrored motions -- Kid continues his berating lecture, but he makes the mistake of closing his eyes, brows knitting in stern disapproval.]

It will take weeks to repair what took you only a moment to destroy. As a fellow representative of Shibusen, this behavior is utterly unconscionable! Normally I would demand you make amends this very instant, but you're more liable to bring down the surrounding city before paving a road to my exacting specifications.

[Heaving a sigh, he amends:]

I suppose it can't be helped. A contractor will be hired for the work, and you had best be prepared to pay for this. I'll set about to interviewing for a suitable one--

[yahaaaa]

You're putting a mellow on my grand introduction, Kid!!!!

[ PAH! A handful of rocks and rubble are tossed right into Kid's face, some of which are rather large chunks of pavement. ]

As if I'd waste my time being concerned about the alignment of my stage! All it needs is a shining star to illuminate the scenery, so what if there are a few cracks and dings?

[ He claps the dust off his hands and holds a single finger to the skies. ]

Sheesh, for a god, you sure are behind the times. I know it's really tough to catch up and keep up with the likes of me, but I expected a little bit more out of you! For shame!

Besides, now it has its own clearly awesomer finesse that it was missing! I'll touch this place up in no time at all, HAHAHAHAHAHA

[ And this is where his hands go back to his hips and he leans his upper half back. The louder and longer he laughs, the further he bends backwards. Looks like it'll never stop, either. ]

[symmetrophile]

[To be on a real roll with one's diatribe only to have a spray of dust, stones, and chunks of concrete flung into one's face is well worth the reflexive flinch Kid makes, and the cost to his dignity (and oh god, there's dirt in his hair you ill-mannered punk) significant enough to win Black☆Star a baleful glower.

He makes a valiant attempt at tolerating his teasing, but not without a lot of obvious teeth-grinding.

There's finally a low, resentful mutter, as his shoulders begin to shake, arms ramrod-straight down at his sides.]

'Finesse'? You aren't even using the word properly...!

[Unable to take any more of this, Death the Kid steps down off his skateboard, which is swallowed up in black-sparking tendrils, disappearing. Enjoy your laughter while you can, Black☆Star, because all at once the reaper is right at your back, lean silhouette looming and gold eyes lambent in his own shadow.

It's going to be one sharp strike at the backwards bow of his back with the side of his foot and a heartfelt yank of a fist balled up in Black☆Star's hair that intends to see him eating pavement. If successful, it'll end up with one knee pressed into the small of his back, and both hands attempting to grind his face into the crater.]

What was that, Black☆Star? Forgive you for behaving in such an uncouth manner?! Apology accepted! Learn to clean up your own messes, you uncultured swine!

[yahaaaa]

NYAHAHAHAHAHAHA.. HA--OOF!!!!

[ Black☆Star is effectively tossed face-first into the ground, forced by both of Kid's hands. He immediately gets a mouthful of dust and debris, causing him to choke and muffle displeased sounds. His arms wriggle, hands twitching and fingers curling while the rest of him works in-kind. ]

[ With enough struggle and fight, he's able to at least somewhat turn his head. He spits out a ton of gravel, grunting as half of his face is shoved hard into the ground. ]

In your dreams, asshole! Everything I do is fully calculated for a beautiful and impacting turning point in my presentation! The only thing I'm sorry for is that I didn't cover only half of your face with dirt! Hah!

I'll remember that for next time!

[ The struggle becomes tougher, stronger until he rolls over and gives a good shove to his left shoulder. ]

But if it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get!

1/3

[heartandsoul]

[She almost panicked at the rumbling.

But then she heard that voice. That unmistakeable voice that incites a gut reaction of shaking her head.]

Black☆Star...

[heartandsoul]

[...Wait.]

...Black☆Star...?

[Suddenly she no longer feels annoyed when she realizes that Black☆Star should not be here. He hasn't been here for as long as she's been here, so she can hardly even say it's a welcome back moment.

Not being annoyed by his presence will change, she's certain, but for now...]

[heartandsoul]

[He's not expecting her to actually be happy to see him. So when she approaches—at the tail end of his speech—she claps. Slow, sarcastic, but a clap nonetheless.]

Good job, Black☆Star. You've only been here—what—a few minutes and you've already caused property damage. You'd better hope that building doesn't belong to another foreigner, because Tsubaki isn't here to bail you out.

[yahaaaa]

[ Clearly busy with patting himself on the back, it's not until he hears the ever-so-enjoyed applause that he turns around. The familiar face of Maka greets him, and it entices a cheesy grin. Maka? Applauding him? ]

I see we've finally surrendered to the temptations of applauding such a big, fantastic show from myself. Good for you, Maka.

[ As for the damages, Black☆Star shrugs. ]

There's no need for Tsubaki to bail me out, not when the entire town is going to ooh and ahh at my strength-- Wait.

[ That made him slightly sick to his stomach. ]

Tsubaki...

Isn't here?

[heartandsoul]

Nope. It's just me, you, Kid, Crona and Soul. But then I didn't expect any of you to show up after being here so long, so maybe she will eventually.

[She shrugs. And wow, that's an awfully dismissive thing to come from Maka considering she's talking about a mutual friend but, well...watching people come and go for nearly two years...]

You need the rundown of Vatheon? I somehow doubt you stood still long enough for anyone to give you a pamphlet.

[yahaaaa]

[ In a bout of confusion that surprises no one, his eyebrows furrow and his head tilts. ]

That was awfully careless, Maka. I'd think you'd be more bothered by the fact that everyone is missing.

Hell, even I'm completely mortified. I'm just holding up my stone-cold exterior because I wouldn't transcend if I turned soft.

[heartandsoul]

We're not in our own world, it's more like we're the ones that are missing now.

[Is he still on about this? Yeesh, yep, the missing him part is gone now.]

And I've been here for a year alone, I don't have room to be bothered anymore.

[yahaaaa]

[ Oh god, it just gets more and more confusing! Now he just looks completely taken aback. ]

I just saw you like an hour ago! That makes no sense!

[heartandsoul]

Of course it doesn't, but look here--

[And she opens up the calendar on her SFC, presenting it to him with the date clearly shown in nice bold letters: 11/21/2012]

This place messes with time. You might have seen me just an hour ago, whatever we were all doing, but I've been here for the past year, almost two years.

[yahaaaa]

... Holy crap.

[ Black☆Star crosses his arms, trying to make sense of it when it's clearly not gonna happen. Surprisingly, he's silent as he stares at the date. His eyes remain on the device as he gives a heavy sigh. ]

Almost two years, huh?

[ His voice goes soft, as if he's going to say something along the lines of having pity for her. She must have been so lonely this whole time if all of her friends have just started showing up now. He extends a hand, patting Maka affectionately on the back. ]

Wow.

You must be in complete disarray having gone almost two years without my bright, shining smile. I feel real sorry for you. But that's over now, so don't fret!

[heartandsoul]

Yeah. Right.

[Sort of kind of--shut up. They're still friends even if he is irritating and egocentric.]

What's the last thing you even remember from back home? I mean, if you saw me an hour ago.

[The clothes look the same but his apparent age...he looks young, something's not right.]

[mysterious_groper]

Uh...

What?

[yahaaaa]

You have eyes, don't you? Marvel at the masterpiece that my grand muscular strength has committed! Clearly, some of you people don't know how to appreciate talent when you see it!

[mysterious_groper]

... You jumped off a building.
