Sailor/Kitari: "YEEEEEESSSS!!!! STAR HOUSE HERE WE COME!!!!!!"
Scorpio: "...they've been hype all week."
Leon: "Let them be, ruin it, we'll be finished."
Sailor: "OKAY! What's with this Moral Combat behind my back!?"
Scorpio: "N-Nothing."
Yes, Sailor and Kitari had a perfectly good reason to be 'hype' as Scorpio puts it. Apparently, our Department Queens had begged Star King to allow them to spend this particular day down at the Star House for some odd reason. Dui suggested that maybe they were spending Halloween early together (nope, Dui, I have a torture update for you peeps there, too). Ichthys was just being as lighthearted and drunk-on-life as he's always been, saying that they're just gonna party or something as a reward for their hard work. Zyglavis and a good handful had just rolled their eyes.
Zyglavis: "Sailor Pisces, I have checked our work maintenance and have seen some of your handiwork in most of the pile."
Sailor: "Oh, c'mon Zig, let it slide once. I didn't wanna have to do it either, but me and Kita gotta plan for you peeps!"
Krioff: "Oh no, she's calling her 'Kita'..."
Partheno slips away from the crowd and leans over to Kitari.
Partheno: "Sis, what are you doing?"
Kitari: "Hm? Partheno? Oh, don't worry, it's not going to kill you."
Partheno: "Then...could you tell me why this day is so...special to you?"
Kitari: "Today is October 13th. Friday the 13th. It's very...exciting to put it bluntly. Especially when you reach 3:00 AM on the next day."
Partheno: "Mind filling me in on the details?"
Leon: "What are you two talking so secretly among each other?"
Kitari: (Oh, right, no one else knows about me, Sailor and Partheno's...parentage. Especially guys of Wishes and Punishments.)
Teorus: "So! Where are we going?"
Kitari: "Oh, Teorus, we're-"
Sailor: "Kitari, don't, not yet."
Kitari: "But...."
Sailor: "Look, just trust me on this one. You know what's gonna happen, right?"
Kitari: "But we don't even know. He didn't clarify it for us."
Sailor: "Well. That's just what we know about him now."
Leon and Scorpio had been straining to listen to their conversation. They had gotten really confused around the corner of their words. At first Leon had thought that the 'He' that they were talking about was Star King. Scorpio thought he same thing, but when he heard Sailor say 'what we know about him now' instead of what he was expecting; 'that's just who he is'.
The girls and the guys arrive at the Star House. But for some reason it had a dark and brooding sense to it.
Kitari: "...What?"
Sailor: "He's here alright!"
Kitari: "But...if this mission is supposed to be true...then he really did exist...?"
Sailor: "Hah, you know how nothing is a myth anymore?"
Kitari stays silent. Leon didn't know what was making her all of a sudden so scared. Usually it takes everything to even to get her to scream and stay screaming without her and Sailor going into laughter. But Scorpio was even noticing Sailor was uncomfortable. Whatever is going on must be really terrifying if the Queens are getting fidgety over this.
Scorpio: "Dui, can you read their minds?"
Dui: "Scorpio, you know how our powers for some reason don't work on them."
Sailor: "Guys? Can you guys stay...real close to us?"
*****
Everyone got split up. Sailor and Kitari are separated and neither like it when that happens. But inside, both of them were getting past trauma. The fire. The water. Their humanity pasts. They could hear their names being called around the Star House. They're too scared to call back and end up curled up on the ground screaming themselves. As the chainsaw rips through the air, being raised above the glowing transparent, masked man.
Their screams were cut off. And the Star House was silent.
Star King hadn't moved from his throne and he was practically frozen to his throne.
It would appear that rumor was obviously true and had completed its goal.
His goal.
