---

Sugata Shindo has posed:
About four hours ago, it was definitely still bright enough to be called Halloween Day. Now, it's decidedly evening, and the moon is a mere quarter in the sky...

But Shibuya is never in the dark. A little thing like a zombie plague spreading through Tokyo isn't enough to quiet these streets down.

Even if that's mostly because the bulk of crowd haphazardly crossing the streets now are zombies, staggering about, arms out-stretched and swiping for victims, mouths groaning, "Hammmmmbarrrgaaaaaar..."

Those who are still normal have mostly barricaded themselves in brightly colored shops, staring out at the Halloween festivities with vague horror and great annoyance. They want to be at home, not starring in a WcDonald's Halloween commercial!

Part of the reason the virus has spread so quickly is the darting figure in the air, blue-and-gold and hungry for hamburgers. Ginga Kingu had managed to escape the earlier in the day, and he's been hungry for hamburgers ever since, grabbing people off the ground and snatching them high into the sky just to take a bite, grimace, and dump them back to the ground (from not so high up).

He's so hungry.

'These pathetic humans won't be nearly enough,' his only companion, Samekh, complains. 'I've told you! If you want to satisfy your hunger, you must feast on Wawna!'

"Hammmm, hambarrr, aaaaaaaargarrrrrrrrrrr," Sugata snaps back, roughly translating to 'That's stupid, but let me get a hamburger first so I can figure out why.'

Wako Agemaki has posed:
"You are absolutely not allowed to get bit," Ginga Otome is telling her boyfriend, from within the relative safety of her floating bubble of delicate pink light. She's got her arms folded and her chin up. "Catching Sugata-kun long enough to purify him is going to be hard enough. If you both turn into zombies, I'm quitting and going home to my grandma until the burger zombies get us all."

At the corner of a rooftop near where Wako's floating, Jaguar - now in ninja gear, but still wearing her bunny ear headband - sets down a pair of stuffed-full plastic grocery bags. "In position, Wako-sama," she calls over. Tiger's getting set up with a similar set of bags several rooftops away.

"You guys don't get bit either," Wako tells them, not without concern. "This is an awful lot of people to purify..."

Takuto Tsunashi has posed:
"Okay, yeah, I haven't got bit yet," grumbles Wako's boyfriend, reaching up to rub at his face. He looks out at Jaguar and sighs.

"THERE-- there he is!!" yells Takuto breathlessly, and Wako can tell he wants to just rocket into Sugata and pin him face-first into a building and HOLD HIM THERE until Wako can purify him. She can just tell by his face, by his body language, by his voice...

They're strangely lit and underlit from ambient light pollution and neon signs, moon far overhead, and the Ginga Bishounen is so tired and he's so annoyed because this is so stupid and it's taking soooooo loooooong to fix. He scowls. "Okay I'm not gonna get bit. I'm not. I'm-- I'm going to aim for him and aim us at-- oh my god why didn't I think of this before--" He floats out of Wako's bubble and says earnestly, "Do Zero Time! Bubble us both when I've got him on lock!""

"APPRIVOISE!!!" he yells at the top of his lungs, and he shoots up into the sky and does a bigger and saucier version of his and Tauburn's old henshins mixed together. "Flair! Dazzling the stage! GINGA BISHOUNEN TAUBURN!"

All at once Tiny Tauburn is gone and ghostly phantom glowing Tauburn-shaped armor protects the body of Tauburn's driver while they're both busy. The steam vent plume is so epic, honestly. Takuto then rockets full-speed toward Sugata.

Amanda Faust has posed:
    "They won't really get us all, will they? That lady seemed like she knew more about dark magic than um... what's her name... Corona?" Amy asks, also up on the roof. "Maybe there's some reason this can't last... f***, we should ask Hinoiri. Has anyone seen her? ...It'd be awful if she got a craving for hamburger."

APPRIVOISE!

    "Ohp, here we go!" Amy turns towards the distant Sugata, taking a ready-to-move stance, as she... hopes the others can get him in reach somehow. She needs to use flight sparingly.

Sugata Shindo has posed:
Ginga Kingu is scanning the crowd below for a hamburger when motion catches his eye - a blur of red and yellow that he knows but can only think of as a squirt of mustard and ketchup, coming temptingly close - a plume of tomato that he wants to sink his teeth into -

'Devour him!' Samekh shrieks, and his voice is so annoying.

Just as Ginga Bishounen Tauburn closing in, Ginga Kingu veers upwards, power coalescing around his body. Samekh vanishes, as pure black ghost armor forms around Ginga Kingu.

"HAMBARRRGARRS! BAARGAAA HAAAAAMAAAAAA GAAARRRR!"

The cape of swords flares, a thousand knives ready to slice into the greatest burger of his life. He rockets for Ginga Bishounen Tauburn, a clash of champions, king against stalwart knight -

Only for Ginga Kingu Samekh to suddenly surge straight up, turning in the direction of that most delectable of scents: burgers.

In a bag. On a rooftop. The milling crowd of zombified citizens has begun to turn as well, catching the scent on the cool evening air.

A cry rises, baying.

"HAAMBAAAAARGAAAAAR!!!"

Chibiusa Tsukino has posed:
    Chibiusa was on her way to Mamoru's apartment when suddenly Diana ran up to her in a panic, warning her about zombies and hamburgers and it's too complicated to explain please just hurry.

    Now Sailor Chibimoon is watching from a distance as a blue-and-gold blur swoops down at hapless, and burgerless, victims in order to spread the dread hunger. Diana is clinging to her shoulder, looking concerned. She notices others here, waves at Amy, and then sets Diana down with a pet and a, "Try to stay safe and not get turned into a zombie okay?"

    Chibiusa leaps onto a lamppost. A conveniently placed spotlight just so happens to fall in just the right way to light up her silhouette. "Stop right there! Halloween is a time for sweet treats and costume parties, not actual zombie apoco-- hey wait!"

    A zombie has mistaken the spotlight for a hamburger and has pushed it over, shifting it so that it now only lights up one of Chibiusa's boots. "Not fair. I had that lined up and everything!" Now the zombies are trying, uselessly, to climb her lamp post. "Shoo! Shoo! I am not a burger!"

Wako Agemaki has posed:
"Wait a second--!" yelps Wako, hurriedly bringing her hands together fingertips to fingertips. "I can't fly as fast as you, remember?! ZERO TIME!"

The barrier springs forth, not that there are really any civilians out and about to shift out of harm's way. Tiger and Jaguar are too long-steeped in magic by association to count. The pair of them have mobility going for them, at least; as the mob begins to converge on her location, Jaguar digs both hands into her bags and comes up with no fewer than four fast-food burgers wrapped in greasy paper. They're sent flying with the pinpoint accuracy of a shinobi's shuriken before the girl in the bunny ears is leaping away to a neighboring rooftop with one of her bags in hand.

"Ugggghhhhh!" the Galactic Maiden cries out, trailing in Takuto's glittering wake at a distinctly slower pace. "I can't stand you two right now!!"

When she catches sight of Chibimoon's predicament, she gives up trying to catch up with Tauburn. The guys will just have to handle things for the moment. "Hey, do you need a hand? Or a bubble?"

Takuto Tsunashi has posed:
"Hey!" yells Ginga Bishounen Tauburn, making a sharp turn midair, his stardust contrail zigzagging a light dodge behind him. He SCOWLS HARDER, as if that were an attack in and of itself. Unfortunately for him, his scowl is half-obscured by Tauburn's mask-- but it's okay, Sugata wouldn't be able to appreciate it right now anyway. "Hey dumbass you can't bite anything in armor!"

As he's yelling this he beelines for Ginga Kingu Samekh again, this time headed for where he knows his skinny midsection is behind the armor cloak. And then he cheerfully yells out, "TAU PILE CRUSHER!" and goes full-bore attacking his boyfriend in the back with the attack he can only even use in super form, the piles moving off and up toward one of his fists, then that fist retracting and the arm turning into a glowing plasma cannon.

He fires it at that cloak, laughing like a maniac.

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Amy looks over at Waku and Chibiusa. "Wait, can you like... hand out purification bubbles? I wonder if I can fire one out of a launcher... Maybe we can thin the horde a little?"

    She double-takes at magic ninja maid antics. "I knew it! They're totally ninjas! And... magic, apparently?!"

    BOYFRIEND FITE. Amy glances up at the fireworks. "Well. This is going to be a show." She's still ready to move but not sure which plan they're going with yet. Thin zombie horde or all try to tackle Sugata?

Sugata Shindo has posed:
Chibi Moon's spotlight has been knocked askew, shining light on her knees and fight rather than highlighting her heroic figure, but given the Zombies clamoring atop the base of her Tall Thing, stretching their arms up to claw for her. They're not tall enough, and they're not coordinated enough to succeed, but there are enough of them clamoring and clawing that it's shaking the lamp post, making it harder for her to keep her footing.

And then burgers are tossed out, four of them, greasy and still warm, and even though they'd rather have the burger up there -

The smaller burgers (normal sized burgers) hit four of them right in the face, and they fall back, happily mumbling hamburger (sans ptui!) as they chomp and devour.

Ginga Kingu Samekh did not get a hamburger to the ghostly helmet, though his eerie armor with its aura of hunger and want, the way it wants to devour and rip and tear -

Well, it's very #MoodTBH as he flies closer to Wako in an effort to devour Jaguar -

Only to take Tau Pile Crusher directly to the back. There's an outraged howl, "HAMBARRRRRRR!" and Ginga Kingu Samekh wheels about, swinging that heavy bladed cape like a dozen magical swords, aiming to rake over Takuto's ghostly armor.

When he's close enough, he lunges, face first, but Takuto was right: he can't bite people through a ghostly helmet and mostly may just succeed in headbutting his boyfriend.

Chibiusa Tsukino has posed:
    Suddenly, Zero Time. Chibiusa blinks, then notices the Galactic Maiden. "Honestly I'm just confused? What's the deal with the hamburgers?"

    The zombies gather around her lamppost, shuffling about and scraping their hands against the base. Their grumbles are variations of, "HAM BAR GAAAR, BURGAR, HAAAAAM BAAAR GAR," as they keep trying, and failing, to climb up to where Chibiusa is. It wobbles, and her outstretched arms flail in a panic as she desperately tries to keep her balance.

    "Oh no oh no oh no wait stop ah!" She launches herself from the Tall Thing and into the streets below, which would leave her a lot more vulnerable than she'd like to be, but then some of the zombies are distracted by actual hamburger and she just takes a moment to stare at them.

    "Well. Okay."

    Luna-P turns into the Pink Rod, which she holds up to the zomburgers. "Couldn't I just like... Pink Sugar Heart Attack!?"

    She launches her beam sparkly pink hearts at the zombies, and smiles and feels proud of herself for a moment, only to feel the hot breath of burger-hungry zoms at the back of her neck. Her face instantly goes pale and she sprints away. "Bubble! Bubble! Bubble!"

Wako Agemaki has posed:
Ginga Otome stares at her ridiculous boys, heaves a sigh, and rolls her eyes.

"I mean--" she answers Amy distractedly, "not exactly? I can only split my concentration so many ways, most of the time, and it's not like lending someone your umbrella..."

Oh dear, on street level is a really bad place for Chibimoon to be right now. Mid-sprint, a sphere of pink light shimmers into being around her, lofting her up away from the hungry horde. This second bubble rises up to Wako's until they bump together and merge into a somewhat larger bubble, almost exactly like two soap bubbles fusing together in midair. "Got you! It's some really stupid dark magic, they want hamburger and they think we're hamburger. If you see any that are like three meters tall with a silly mustache, blast them, but we're going to have to purify everyone else somehow.

Jaguar stays on the move, tossing burgers now and again. The strategy appears to be to herd groups of them together, though what the end goal is and how long she and Tiger can avoid falling into gnawing range remains less clear.

Takuto Tsunashi has posed:
The capesweep was unexpected; the devastatingly sharp blades do rake like claws against Tauburn's chest, and Tauburn's enigmatic smile never changes, and behind it as through clouded glass, Takuto's grin is devastatingly sharp and the devil is in his bright red eyes.

Samekh headbutts Tauburn and Tauburn's hand is no longer a pile crushing plasma cannon, it's a hand again, and it and the other one both grab hold of Samekh's liberty spikes and YANK DOWN, leaping upwards with high-heeled boots and doing an aerial flip to come back down behind Samekh again.

Hands together and glowing, his voice rings out strong, "TAU GALAXY BEAM!" and there's the attack Amy saw earlier today when he helped charge up the bomb that destroyed the Luisoix, but again, this time it's at his fellow Star Driver, at his boyfriend, and he is Just Not Conflicted About This At All.

This time the attack's followed up by fists as Tauburn launches off the lip of the building's facade and flies at beyond ramming speed directly at Sugata, aiming to transport him closer to Wako on the front of a speeding punch.

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Amy rocketjumps across the street. "Oh, I see, this is what we're doin' then?" She tries to aim at Sugata but uh... he is awful close to Tauburn, until TAU GALAXY BEAM! As Amy sails overhead, she fires a 3-inch cannonball down at the mahou to help keep him out of the sky!

    "Chibimoon! Do you have purification powers like your mom? When they're purified they just act normal again!"

Sugata Shindo has posed:
Pink Sugar Heart Attack knocks over about half a dozen zombies directly, and a dozen or so indirectly, a result of those who fell over knocking their down their companions... only there's so many of them, that that bubble really comes in handy. As Chibi Moon's floated away, zombies leap up to reach her, clawing at the ground, but none of them is a professional basketball player, and they can't reach anywhere near high enough to dunk on her.

Chibi Moon is Safe! Homerun!

Ginga Kingu Samekh is nowhere near as safe, and neither is Ginga Bishounen Tauburn, even if the latter is probably having the time of his life.

Sugata is hungry. So hungry. He didn't know he'd have to kill his own beef to get a burger, but he's willing, as willing as Columna was to abandon Crace's love in favor of piloting the northern island's ship. He will devour this hamburger, and every other, satiate his hunger until he is finally full, he will sail the cosmos and devour all that he finds, he will -

Be dragged from his hunger-maddened thoughts and back to the fight by Takuto's Tauburn-armored hands yanking down his spike-clad head, the world spinning as he's flipped. He howls without words, struggling, and then free, in time to take Tau Galaxy Beam to the chest. Ghostly arm sparks and explodes away, falling in reminiscence of another battle, that had left the model of this form damaged beyond repair. Samekh howls and Sugata snarls. It would be a lot more impressive if the words weren't:

"HAMBAAARGAAAAAR!!"

As Ginga Bishounen Tauburn peels away to begin a flurry of punches, a cannonball strikes Samekh's faceplate, shattering the ghostly armor, leaving Sugata's face visible and his teeth bared.

Takuto's fist strikes him right in that face, and his teeth dig into armored fingers. The punching and thrust of Takuto's flight is enough to bring them in range of Wako.

Chibiusa Tsukino has posed:
    Chibiusa is bubbled. As she rises up to safety a little grey kitten jumps across the tops of zombie heads in order to leap into the future princess's outstretched arms. "Small Lady! Wait for me!" calls out Diana.

    Chibiusa holds the kitten as her bubble joins with Wako's. She floats next to her and smiles, "Thanks! I think they almost got me." Then she hears Amy's question and frowns. She holds Diana close and mumbles, "... not really."

    Diana tries to defend Chibimoon's ego with, "She's trying her best!" Which honestly just unintentionally hurts a little bit more.

    To Otome she says, "You're right. That sounds really dumb. Like. It almost makes sense but I really don't want it too." Then she looks at the boys fighting and asks, "Is this a normal thing for them?"

Wako Agemaki has posed:
Wako just kind of puts her hand over her eyes for a second. "Unfortunately, yes," she answers Chibimoon. "You can shoot at both of them, it's fine." She pitches her voice louder as she says it, ensuring that the statement carries to Amy as well.

As the pair barrel closer to where the mahou shoujo have temporarily gathered, though, the Galactic Maiden draws in a deep, bracing breath ahd lifts her head. "Okay," she says, more briskly now. "Let's see how many of you I can get at once."

She throws out both hands, fingers splaying in the air, as though to make some grand proclamation from center stage. "Aurore Australe: Mega Hamster Ball!"

A wave of pink light surges outward, rippling and shimmering, centered on the two armored Star Driver boys as they grapple. It curves as it rolls forth, shaping itself into a massive bubble that encompasses not just Takuto and Sugata but a good few of the ground-bound burger zombies as well... albeit by no means all of them.

Takuto Tsunashi has posed:
No shit, there Takuto-Tauburn was, already high on adrenaline and excitement, grappling Sugata-Samekh and getting them closer to Wako-chan and Wawna's gift of purifying aureate rose safety...

...when Sugata-Samekh actually BITES HIM and Takuto-Tauburn's eyes go absolutely hugely wide, and he yanks his fist back and shoves at Samekh with his other hand and then with his foot. "Wako--!" comes his panicked voice and he can feel-- he can-- he's hungr--

Below, civilians that bumble into the bubble wall vanish out of Zero Time as they're cured of their hunger for ground beef flesh. The crowd finally starts to thin. "SHOOT US AMY CHIBIMOON SHOOT SHOOT SHOOSH SHHHHAMMMB--"

He one THOUSAND BILLION PERCENT slams on his flight and piledrives Samekh towards the ceiling-- the wall-- whatever part of the bubble is closest.

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Amy does wince after landing on another rooftop, as she remembers Chibiusa's whole thing about being expected to fill her mom's shoes. "It's fine! Uhh... just stay away from the civvies, then, we'll work out how to get them all later!"

    ...Like that. Okay that's not all of them, but... "You can do that that big?!" She holds a hand to her head, "Wait, I mighta seen that while I was zombie'd... did you say Mega Hamster Ball???"

    Oh right, the boys-- and Takuto sounds panicced! Amy's eyes widen and she urgently raises her arm, a large launch tube appears braced to it and fires what looks like her Aura Pillar at first -- but instead of a shower of piercing orange-hot metal raining down, when the missile arcs down and splits into a dozen mini-missiles, they just... keep being missiles, hailing into the boyfriends at high speed and trying to push them towards the bubble!

    "C'mon, Takuto, no... Fight it!" As if that's any use, as she well knows, but she doesn't know what else to say!

Chibiusa Tsukino has posed:
    Chibimoon, from the safety of Otome's bubble, hears the call to action and holds up her Pink Rod for another blast. "Pink Sugar Heart Attack!"

    Her sparkly hearts follow after the Mega Hamster Ball and leave a trail of pink glitter in their wake.

Sugata Shindo has posed:
Sugata is lost to unrelenting hunger, struggling away from Takuto's grip because he tastes disgusting, the worst hamburger he's ever bad, no succulent beef at all -

But Sugata does not possess the only consciousness in this henshin. Just as Tauburn and Wawna still very much exist with their drivers when their armor is borrowed for battle, Samekh is still very much present. Samekh knows that he has bitten Tauburn, tasted the mildest scrap of his power, and his endless hunger gnaws at Sugata's guts, at his bones, demands to be satisfied.

'Devour him! Feast on him and break free of this foolishness lest the Maiden ground your flight -' there is a flash of shared memory, Ayingott crushed in a mighty fist, extinguished for treachery. 'Drain him of his Drive and empower us -'

Ptui, ptui.

Sugata has pulled a disgusted face as his response. His struggles are solely to get away, rather than to rend and tear. Samekh's full of it, as he always is, and Sugata doesn't know why he ever thought his reluctant partner's opinion on hamburgers could be counted. He'll figure it out as soon as his mind is clear, as soon as he's had a bite to eat -

But there is not a bite to be had. There is only the push forth of Tauburn's flight, the wave if roseate light that breaks and flows. There is the collision of missiles, exploding against their armor, Samkeh's weakened piles and ghostly armored plates cracking under the force. A pink heart beam strikes Sugata on the cheek and leaves a heart shaped imprint behind, caves portions of armor in the shape of hearts. He still has enough teenage masculine ego to think 'ugh' about that, even if the next thought is 'heart hamburger could be good -'

But the light is singing away the sickness of the bite. They are the both of them trapped now in the Mega Hamster Ball, Ginga Kingu Samekh's back fully plastered to the roof of it.

High above the Hamster Ball, in Zero Time's starry-sky, a massive bright light gathers.

Wako Agemaki has posed:
Wako's eyes go wide in panic as she realizes what's happened - that Samekh has gotten through Tauburn's armor, and the King's Pillar is coming down. There's no time for a gradual purification, no time to do things in stages, she has to purify them now.

"APPRIVOISE! Ginga Otome Wawna!"

Light blooms in sunrise hues as her armor forms in translucent white and gold, giving her the silhouette of the South Maiden Cybody, like a technological tennyo. More light floods the enormous sphere she's created - more a dome than a bubble at this point, blazing bright glittering pink and gold like an early dawn as Wako pours all her drive into reinforcing the shield even as she purifies everything within its confines.

Chibiusa Tsukino has posed:
    Chibiusa doesn't quite know the significance of what just happened, with Samekh's hunger for delicious Tauburn, but she can sense the concern in Wako's voice and see the panic in her eyes. She can also notice the sudden tapping into a more powerful form, which is actually pretty hard to miss.

    Small Lady's only response is to keep up the heartbeam, keep the pressure on, make sure she does everything she can to stop things from getting worse. Surely there's a plan, right? She hopes the plan involves more magic sugar hearts.

    She doesn't have time to really appreciate how pretty the bubble is, or the lights in the sky, but Diana does and smol kitteh is mesmerised.

    "Please work," says Chibimoon. "I don't want to lose the planet to the burgerzom apocalypse!"

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Is that King's Pillar? Oh ****, they can stop it, right?! Wako's gone to a new form but Amy can wonder about the significance of that later, she conjures another salvo of minimissiles that fly out to push the Galactic King and Prettyboy into the bubble with their explosions, "Come on!"

Takuto Tsunashi has posed:
He bit him he BIT HIM hE bIt HiMmmmbargarrrrr so DAMNed hungry and you know what, Samekh is a POS but his driver makes that hunger not... such a devastatingly embarrassing thing? The idea of a Sugata-Samekhburger is a lot more palatable, as it were, than the idea of a regular Samekhburger, which would probably have like bone bits in the ground beef--

"Hambar-- SORRY TAUBURN--"

Suddenly Tiny Tauburn is floating in a bubble away from them all, gesturing hopelessly about how hungry he is, pointing to the... remarkable lack of space for a robotic stomach that is his midsection. His smol bubble floats miserably about, pinging off of things with feelings of I Have No Mouth Yet I Must Eat.

That means it's just the Ginga Bishounen shoving the immense bladed armor against the inside of the bubble, pinning him against the wall with Amy and Chibimoon's help, rocketjet of blue-white Drive still the main source of force-- but the main source by itself isn't enough, especially in a less-grand form.

He's grinning, all teeth, as he leans in to stick his head inside Sugata-Samekh's 'helm' and kiss his boyfriend while the world is purified around them.

Tiny Tauburn's bubble pops and he vanishes from sight, because the world has finally produced the thing that could shame the thickest face.

Sugata Shindo has posed:
Missiles and pink hearts pound against Ginga Kingu Samekh's armor, keeping him pinned in place even as Tauburn's armor melts away and Tauburn falls away with him.

Tauburn, that traitor, that traitor, he has to cATCH HIM DEVOUR HIM CRUSH HIM AS HE CRUSHED AYINGOTT-

Takuto kisses Sugata, his white-and-gold frame almost delicate against the great pitted armor of Samekh's power, and Sugata doesn't bite him, because he doesn't smell like hamburger. A part of him still wants to. There's a hint of the devil in his eyes as he leans forward -

Wawna's power turns the crackle of purification into a bonfire, a flood, the waters of a parted sea crashing back into place. There's probably a scream, but there isn't much of a way to hear it against the impending fall and pressure of King's Pillar, whitening the sky, making it as bright as the noon-day sun -

It doesn't strike the dome.

It hovers there, just inches above the surface, a gloved hand thrust upwards, stopping it.

Samekh's cracked and pitted armor falls away in an instant, black and red replaced by blue and gold and white, Kingu in place of the King Cybody's envoy. There's still a heart shaped bruise on his cheek, from the Pink Sugar Heart Attack. He probably deserves that.

King's Pillar dissipates, leaving the night sky dark once more, and Sugata sways in the air, before collapsing forward against Takuto, henshin dropping.

There's heavy breathing against Takuto's ear, and Sugata grumbles with the last of his strength:

"I... hate... that I still want a hamburger."

And then he passes out cold.

Chibiusa Tsukino has posed:
    Oh phew. The boys are kissing. Chibimoon assumes that this means they are making up and the fight is over. The small child gets to remain blissfully unaware of how much trouble they are in.

    Until someone clues her in otherwise.

    "We did it! Kinda. Well, we got him and a few others back, right? Now we just need to um... Diana-chan, how many zombies would you say are still around?"

    Diana just shrugs. "No idea, sorry. It's all happening so fast."

    Huh. That might be a problem.

Takuto Tsunashi has posed:
Battered-looking and exhausted, the Ginga Bishounen -- his white-and-gold quasimilitary drip artfully slashed across the front, mussed, smudged, and variously torn -- hefts his boyfriend in his arms, cradled to his chest, and flies them over to the rooftop where Amy is, so he can land. "Thank you!!" he nonetheless calls cheerfully to Amy and Chibimoon, "just a sec--"

And then he's stepping to meet Ginga Otome Wawna with the single most sheepish expression on his smudged and bruised face. "Sorry! Sorry--" he looks actually contrite. "I know you were scared, I was, too. I mean, like, for five seconds. BUT I MEAN-- I'm sorry," Takuto finally says, leaning forward to kiss Wako now, right over their boyfriend's unconscious self.

Then he hands the blue-haired boy off to their girlfriend, and he frowns slightly at an expression on her face, then nods, his own face clearing.

As Wako-Wawna bubbles Sugata and they fly off, the Prettyboy turns back to Amy and Chibiusa and Diana. "We did it! But we should leave. Do you two need a ride back to the school? Campus is zombie-free."

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Are they gonna make it?

    Did they just...

    True love's kiss has magic power, right?

    It's like and yet unlike her stories, and she's happy for them, it's great to see people in love with eachother and oh thank goodness King's Pillar stopped.

    "...Yeah, this is gonna make hamburgers weird for awhile." And with Sugata passed out, she allows herself a sigh of relief.

    But she's grinning when they fly over to the roof, glad to not have been space-blasted, and aww they're kissing again. "Glad you're okay, glad we're okay, glad to have him back, and yeah, I think we can go back to Campus and rest for a bit before we... do whatever the hell is gonna fix this."
