Alright, what'd you guys think about being a Star Guardian?

Bet you didn't think there'd be that many sparkles.

[Ugh.]

[dressedtothe]

I'm never doing that again.

[everybodypanic]

Aw come on, it couldn't have been [snicker] that bad! [snerk]

[dressedtothe]

[Aw, come on!]

It was.

[9S lets out an annoyed sigh.]

I'm just glad it's over. It being a Star Guardian always that uh. Sparkly?

[everybodypanic]

Pretty much.

Don't ask me why. It just is.

[dressedtothe]

But why?

[You can't tell him not to ask why!]

[everybodypanic]

Look, I don't make the rules, okay?

[dressedtothe]

I don't suppose it's Creation who does, is it? Are things usually so one sided? How did you become a Guardian anyway?

[everybodypanic]

I had to a sign a contract and that was about it. Kuro keeps nagging me about how I should've actually read it but whatever.

[dressedtothe]

Sounds a lot like how people end up working for the Ringmaster. Is it really okay for you to have two contracts going at the same time?

[After all, the Ringmaster doesn't allow someone to have two contracts with her until the first one's finished.]

[everybodypanic]

It's not a contract I signed here. I was a Star Guardian way before.

Just sort of happened one day and I was all "Yeah sure!" and next thing I know, I'm signing on that dotted line.

[dressedtothe]

[If she could see his expression, 9S clearly balks.]

You really didn't check it, huh...? No wonder, uh, Kuro, is so mad. When does your contract as a Star Guardian end, anyway?

[everybodypanic]

Until I die. Which kind of sucks.

[dressedtothe]

I... Until you die? Seriously?

[The one year contract with the Ringmaster seems light in comparison.]

Do you hate it?

[everybodypanic]

It's whatever.

[She sounds uncharacteristically noncommittal here.]

[dressedtothe]

[That's a surprisingly bland response.]

I... I guess if you're stuck with it... There's really no way out of the contract?

[everybodypanic]

Who knows.
