Shriek's Stargazer outfit is similar to the rest of the group's with more dark blues mixed in and star bracelets draped along her wings, making them almost resemble the night sky.
The regular art is Shriek flapping in midair, holding both Mangal and a Wishing Star-shaped drumstick and crossing them like a drummer striking a pose.
The Groovy is a Shriek banging on her glowing, Pandemonium rune-enscribed drum and screaming in rage towards the sky as lightning crackles all around her.
If ya see somethin' shootin' across the sky leavin' a fiery trail behind it, that might just be me instead of a star!
Summon: Bring out your wishes to the sacrificial altar! Which is Ramshackle Dorm around 3:30!
Groovification: I'm puttin' everything I have into these drums! No, really, I filled 'em with SO much leather and congealed blood.
Home: Showtime, mages and gentleman, showtime!
Home Transition 1: Hey, help me catch some of the stardust! I wanna see if it tastes like candy powder!
Home Transition 2: I'm gonna practice my drummin', so smoke 'em if ya got 'em!
Home Transition 3: Deuce flinches every time we start practicin'. I can't tell if he's nervous or if it's just cuz my drumming's just that omininimous.
Home Transition - Login: Every time I fly at night, I always think I'll get really close to my wings brushin' up against some stars. But no matter how far up I go or how much I swipe at them, I never catch any. Maybe it'll be different when I'm bigger?
Home Transition - Groovy: Drums need the largest and most muscular movements and the best drummers are never tame. So let's GO WILD!!!
Home Tap 1: My Stargazer robes have constellations no one else's does! The Three-eyed Toad is on my left sleeve, the satyr with the chainsaw is on my right, and the River of the Damned runs all down my back!
Home Tap 2: One time a drunk guy threw a bottle at my head, but his aim really sucked. Grim spent the whole night helpin' me pick glass out of my hair, and the funnest part was I got to keep the biggest shard. It's almost as shiny as the Wishing Stars!
Home Tap 3: Should I wish for a pile of flying fox bones? Or maybe an amulet from a mummy's tomb? Or maybe a jar of scabs? Erngh, I just can't pick!
Home Tap 4: I read in a magazine that shooting stars are really sky fish who live in the upper atmosphere and ya only get to see them when they burst into flames to mate. Which magazine? Myth Believe Monthly.
Home Tap 5: Leona told me that stars ain't nothin' but burning balls of gas a million miles away. And then I told Dia a sky full of farts is a beautiful thing, and he didn't wanna laugh but he was tryin' not to so I win!
Home Tap - Groovy: Kuwabara! Kuwabara! Each pound of these drums is a warning to the sky! You send your storms and I send you my vengeance and furious anger. AND YOU WILL KNOW MY NAME IS SHRIEK!!!
[[Ignihyde- Idia's Room. A few days after Starsending]]
Idia: Whew. Starsending quest: complete. Stargazer badge: obtained. And nobody posted any photos of me online, just as planned. *picks up a newspaper and bangs his head on the table* Only I didn't expect the reporters to have old-fashioned film cameras! 😖 Who even goes that extra mile for a school ceremony?! Now my face is all over the local papers... What a glaring oversight. pulling his head up to rest his chin on the table* Cutting-edge tech getting owned by analog workarounds is nothing new, I guess. RIP me.
Idia: *flops his hand dramatically onto his keyboard and starts typing* Might as well check some gaming news for a mood boost... Hey, wait a minute.This headline... It can't be real. Can it?? *immediately straightening up as he stares at the screen* SHOCKED. FACE. EMOJI!!! 😱😱😱
Grim: Man, this STINKS! 😾 We've been doin' nothin' but tearin' up old grass on the sports field and resurfacin' the lawn... I can't take it anymore!
Ortho: I'm sorry. 🙁 I didn't know the jet propulsion flames from my Stargazer Gear attachment would burn the grass this much in my testing.
Deuce: You've got nothing to be sorry for. I'm sure the headmage probably would have stuck us with some other punishment anyway for Shriek's 'opening act'.
Shriek: I apologize for nothing! 😤... Ohh, worms! 😋 *grabbing pawfuls of dirt to munch on the worms buried within*
Trey: Shriek, don't eat- *sighs*... too late. 😓
Shriek: *chewing* And, Ortho, don't ever say sorry for rocketin' off into space!
Deuce: She's right! When it's time to go full blast, you gotta commit to it and put the pedal to the metal! 😈 And you were blasting all the way into the stars! Going whole hog was the only way to do it!
Ortho: I'm detecting irregularities in your vitals when you discuss this topic, Deuce Spade.
Grim: Deuce just likes goin' full tilt. Don't worry about him, Ortho.
Deuce: What I wanna know is why Idia isn't here. 🤨
Ortho: Mm... He said, quote: "I hard carried the whole team by crafting the Stargazer Gear. I don't owe them anything ever again."
Deuce: No surprises there, I guess...😒
Trey: If anything, I'm still shocked at how proactive he was the day of the ceremony.
Deuce: Ahaha, yeah, no kidding.
Grim: Maaan! All this burnt grass is stickin' to my paws. It's grossin' me out! 😖
Shriek: *giggling as she holds up her own grubby paws* Awesome, right? 😁 It's like just after a siege! Here! *grabbing Grim's paws and gently rubbing them so the brunt grass crumbles to soot*
Grim: Easy! Easy! I got delicate paw pads, y'know! *sighs* And we still got the grass around Drasil to get to after this. 😓 I did my part and helped you all out! Why do I gotta be on landscaper duty too?! 😾
Trey: I hear that, believe me. No matter how hard you work as a Stargazer, some wishes just don't come true.
Deuce: Guess we can't all have it as easy as the old man in the story...
Idia: *bolting onto the field* ORTHO! SHRIEK!
Ortho: Idia? You're running outside?? 😧
Shriek: Twice?? 😧
Idia: THEY'RE MAKING A STA-*skids and trips on the sod*- ACKPTH!! Who's the bozo that scattered dirt all over the mesh?! 😖
Deuce: Hey!! 😠
Trey: Let it go, Deuce.
Idia: *rapidly getting up* Guys! They just resumed development on the Star Rogue sequel!
Ortho and Shriek: NO WAY?!?!?!? 😲😲
Idia: *practically shoving his tablet in their faces* YES WAY! Check the article!
Ortho: *speed-reading* An interview in a business newspaper? That's as legit as it gets!
Idia: The article says that when the dev team saw the recent meteor shower, it reminded them of how passionate they were in the old days. They gotta be talking about the meteor shower you made when you brought the Wishing Stars into the sky!
Ortho: Does that mean...🫢
Shriek: Dia's wish came true!!! 😃
Everyone: WHAAAT?!?!
Idia: Fweheehee! 😁 My schedule's gonna be PACKED. I gotta play the game, read all the lore, and...
Shriek: Me too! Me too! I wanna do Star Rogue stuff! 😃
Idia: Yeah, obvi! This is gonna be your guys' first Star Rogue launch! (Technically Ortho's second, but details details) Oh, my babies are part of a whole new generation of celestiknights! My gamer heart is gonna give out! 😭😭
Shriek: No, not yet! Ortho, defribulate him! Quick! Hey, wait... does that mean everyone's wishes are gonna come true? 😀
Ortho: It's entirely possible! 😊
Deuce: That means my shot at becoming a magic marshall can still happen! 😃
Grim: Hey, they're wishes, not miracles. 🙄
Trey: I don't think there's precedent for a Stargazer delivering wishes directly to the stars. Maybe they can work miracles after all. 😊
Idia: *taking a break from fanboying to listen to Ortho and Shriek's excited chatters with a quiet smile*
Idia: *cracking his eyes open and reaching for his Wishing Star, pressing it to his lips to whisper* I wish my little brother and sister will always believe their wishes can come true...
The Drasil Tree is empty of Wishing Stars, save for the five which bare the symbols of the Stargazers. The Wishing Stars are tucked amongst the foliage, still gently glowing with the wishes within.
Ignihyde Student B: Hey, look! The Stargazers are all lining up!
Crowley: Now, see here! 😤 If you think we're going to let you perform after that bruhaha, then you-!
Idia and Shriek: *beginning their drumming perfectly in sync*
Deuce and Trey: *waving their wands and beginning the steps in just as much harmony*
The Crowd: Ooooooh!! 😲😲😲😲
Crowley: *eyes darting over to the equally amazed reporters*...are correct. 😶
Trey: *twirling by Deuce for the next part of the dance* You're doing good.
Deuce: Thanks! Just gotta remember what Ortho said about not tripping up!
Ace: Damn it, how can he look that cool doing an oldass dance?? 😧
Charles: It's called presentation. And also this little thing called he worked his socks off.
Riddle: His outfit lacks socks altogether. But it's true. He and Trey are remarkable.
Shriek: *alternating between drumming with Mangal and her star-shaped drumstick and hopping on the drim itself, flashing a grin all the while* Double demon combo! 😁
Kalim: That's it! Stay locked in, Shrieky! Oh, but don't let the tempo drop! Watch your feet!
Jamil: Ease up! You're going to confuse her with all those directions!... Sands, never thought I'd be saying that to you.
Idia: *picking up the speed as the song builds* Triple SR run combo! Hey, Deuce! Trey! I've got a perfect run going over here! So it's your fault if you miss a step, not mine!
Ruggie: Man, Idia was terrified of people watching him earlier, but now he's banging on the drums without a care.
Mahina: I'd almost admire the focus if he wasn't so... him. 😒
Leona: *growling* Watch it, Buzzard Kill. 😠
Mahina: You're just mad because you can't jump him like a dog with a leg right now. 🙄
Jack: I don't think I've ever seen Leona's tail curl that much.
Cater: Idia's really into this! He's usually so reserved. It's like he's a totally different person! 😃 I gotta grab a video and post it for posterity!
...Huh, that's odd.😕 My camera app won't open.
Ace: Want me to record it on my phone? ...Hey, wait a minute. Mine's not working either!
Cater: Whoa, Magicam's not even loading. Does this area have bad signal or something? Aww man, I'm missing the perfect photo op! 😩
Idia: Fweheehee! Good thing I grabbed my jammer before heading out. As long as it's active, no one around here can use their phone camera or any other app! 😈 Muahahaha! Silly NPCs. You gotta play the WHOLE game! Who's a global laughingstock now?!
[[Halfway through the song, Ortho floats into the center of the clearing, Trey and Deuce dancing gracefully around him]]
Ortho: Scanning. Cloud height: 10 kilometers. Upper troposphere temperature: -70 degrees. Cloud discharge detected. Getting through those clouds and making it into space will be a challenge. But I have to do it.
Idia: *changing up the beat* That's your cue, Ortho!
Ortho: Stargazer Gear, initialize. Deploying Wising Star extraction network.
[[Ortho rises up to the upper foliage of the tree and multiple tendrils of technomancy-enhanced cables shoot out from his hands to grab each and every last Wishing Star on the tree, all of the cables combining together to form a masive net]]
Ortho: Setting booster output to 80%. Time for liftoff!
Trey: *watching Ortho rocket straight up into the clouds* You can do it, Ortho!
Deuce: Send those stars to the stars!
Shriek: *hearing another crap of thunder* Oh, HELL NO!! 👿*drums more viciously as the Pandemonian runes light up once more*
Ortho: *speeding through the thick clouds* The poor visibility and strong winds are making it difficult to proceed... my technomantic shields should hold up but *flinching the lightning crackles all around him* No... no, no, it'll be fine.. it'll be...
???: KuririririRIIIIIII!!!
Ortho: What the-
[[A squirrel-like antlered draconic beast made of pure magenta energy zips around Ortho at rapid speed, seeming to nip and swipe at the lightning as if to keep it at bay]]
Ortho: Shriek... 😯you sent me a friend... *chuckles* Of course! You and Idia are down there drumming away. (I can't lose heart now. He deserves better than that! I can't lose heart now. They deserve better than that!
Shriek: *pounding at the drums, sending multiple energy bolts up to fuel the generation of the beast* DRIVE THEM BACK!! SEVER THE FINGERS OF HE WHO WOULD PLUCK THE STARS FROM THE SKY! WE KNOW THE FATE OF THOSE WHO DENY THE WISHES OF THE YOUNG! FOR WE A R E THAT FATE!!!!
Idia: Less monologuing, more drumming! Ugh, all these people are staring at me, and drumming's exhausting. My physical and mental batteries are drained..😰 But my brother is out there reaching for the stars—literally! And Chuunibat's putting her whole little dramatic demonic heart into this. I can't quit now! *gritting his teeth as they enter the finale* Time to clear the mission, Shriek!
Shriek: *drumming so hard Mangal and her drumstick are practically smoking* GRAAAAAAAAAOWRRRR!!!!
Trey: Ready, Deuce?
Deuce: Let's finish strong!
Ortho: Adjusting booster output. Charging technomantic energy. 90%... 100%... 120% achieved! HRAAAAAAAAAGH!! *rocketing up through the clouds and up, up, up into the exosphere*
Idia and Shriek: *smashing out the last drumbeats* HRAAAAAAAAAGH!!
Deuce and Trey: *wrapping up their dance*
The Stargazers: *panting as they look out at the crowd, who are all still and silent before bursting into applause*
The Stargazers: *beaming and sharing exhausted but happy looks with each other*
Ortho: Checking all parts. No damage to body, no decrease in operational efficiency. All systems green. Great. Now I can move on to the next phase: releasing the... the... *looking around utterly amazed at his surroundings* I'm actually in space🫢... My brother is so cool.... Will our wishes reach the stars since I'm this close to them? *looking at the Wishing Stars in the net, including all the ones with symbols drawn on them* Idia. Deuce Spade. Trey Clover. And of course, Shriek and Grim... Please let all their wishes—and everyone else's— come true!
Grim: Check it out! The clouds have disappeared. We can see the sky again!
Idia: Yeah, Ortho rocketed through it so fast the whole storm dispersed.
Shriek: *wings flaring with pride* The kuwabara helped too!
Deuce: Huh?! Hey, look! Lights!
[[The sky lights up as what appears to be a massive meteor shower completely blankets the sky]]
Shriek: *flapping up to count the stars* One.. two... fifty... twenty-seven... THEY JUST KEEP COMIN'! 🤩 THEY'RE ZIPPIN' AROUND LIKE AN ARMY OF GHOSTS!!!
Deuce: It must be Ortho! All the Wishing Stars he carried are raining down from the sky like legit shooting stars! 😮
Ace: Guys, I think those are our Wishing Stars. How amazing is this Starsending?! 😀
Cater: WOO! Magicam's back up! Just in time too! *immediately gets to work snapping pictures of the sky*
Charles: *gasping softly* I haven't seen a meteor shower in ages! 🫢
Riddle: So they're putting the Wishing Stars in space, rather than on the big tree? That's clearly against the rules... but this utter beauty may just be worth an exception.
Deino: *chuckling as he takes a swig of totally not spiked starfruit juice* Check out that second star to the right. Now there's a real beauty.
Epel: What in tarnation?! Look at all them shootin' stars!
Jack: Yeah, they're gorgeous. I've never seen so many like that.
Rook: Oh, what a stunning sight. 🥹 Today I've borne witness to a form of celestial splendor I've never experienced before. Très bien!
Kalim: This year's Starsending was amazing! Don't you think so, Jamil?
Jamil: Yeah. It definitely makes certain things feel tiny and insignificant in comparison.
Floyd: Ahaha! Check out the sky! 😆 I wish I could fly up there and watch it all up close!
Jade: A meteor shower on the day of the Starsending can't be a coincidence. 😏 Wouldn't you agree, Azul?
Azul: It has to be Idia's doing. There's no other explanation. It's a crime to hold such an astonishing show without charging any money! 😤
Mahina: *watching the sky and scoffing* Tch... little showoff...
Ruggie: Whew... I gotta hand it to Ortho. He actually made it all the way up there. Hope he made a wish for himself too.
Leona: How long you gonna stand there gawking? Go get more juice. I ain't listenin' to Radish Sprout and Pup complainin' about how thirsty and tired they are.
Lilia: It's a pity Malleus missed this. He barely put in an appearance before taking his leave.
Sebek: *weeping over his phone which shows the meteor shower trending all over Magicam* Lord Malleus! I am SO, TERRIBLY SORRY! 😭😭😭 It would appear the Starsending Ceremony went ahead despite the inclement weather!
Malleus: It's no matter. I've beheld many a meteor shower before. *watching the screen contentedly* At least you can count on the stars to never betray you...
Crowley: Is this the Wishing Stars' doing? 🫢 I believe I'm detecting a faint fluctuation of magic in the air. Goodness me. It was touch and go for a moment there, but what a fascinating outcome... Heh. 😊
Deuce: *smiling as he watches Grim and Shriek laughing and dancing together under the meteor shower, until he feels his phone buzz and widens his eyes at the contact info and picks up* Hey, Mom!
Dylla: Deuce, have you seen the sky?! It's full of falling stars! How amazing is this?! 😃
Deuce: *chuckling* Wow, you sound really excited. Yeah, I saw it. I'm a Stargazer, remember?
Dylla: And clearly even Night Raven College couldn't have asked for a finer one than you. 😊
Deuce: Well, I'm not the kid I used to be. I swear on the stars—
Dylla: Oh, baby, you don't need to get so serious about it! 🤭 You know I'm very proud of you.
Deuce: ...
Dylla: I'll let you go now, okay? Happy Starsending.
Deuce: All right. Thanks for calling, Mom. Happy Starsending. *hangs up and immediately starts sniffling*
Trey: Hey. Got a call from your mom?
Deuce: Ah! Trey! 😧This isn't what it looks like! These tears are 'cause of...uh...
Trey: Haha, I know. 😄 You were staring so intently at the stars, you forgot to blink, right? *looking up at the sky* Can't blame you there. It'd be a shame to miss even a second of this shower. This really is the best Starsending.
Deuce: *wiping his eyes* Yeah! One of these days, I'm gonna make my mom happy by making an even bigger wish come true.
Trey: *softly smiling* I'll be rooting for you.
Idia: *watching the sky somewhat nervously* Come on, come on...
Ortho: *soaring back down* IDIAAA!! 😃
Idia: *immediately opening his arms for Ortho to rocket into* ORTHO!!! 😃 There he is, my little cosmic explorer extraordinaire! *peppering Ortho's face with kisses*
Ortho: *giggling* It was amazing up there, Idia! 😁 Space was everything we hoped it would be! I took tons of pictures!
Idia: Wut?? Jealous! You better show me later!
Ortho: Duh! *hugs Idia again* Thank you so much... for this gear, for the wishes, for... for everything. 😊
Idia: You never have to thank me, Ortho. That's what brothers do.
Ortho: *looking up at the shower before shyly turning to Idia* Can we...?
Idia: Like you even gotta ask?
Idia and Ortho: Shoot for glory among the stars and soar like a comet! 😁😁 *laughing*
Shriek: *fluttering around the brothers as Ortho is set down* Ortho, what's space like? Did the Wishing Stars look cool from up there? Did ya see any other planets? Or brain-eatin' aliens.
Idia: Oh, I think one hitched a ride back with him! C'mere you!
Shriek: *squeals as Idia snatches her out of the sky and fake-noms on her head* Ortho, I need backup! 😆
Ortho: Ohhh, sorry, Shriek! My internal battery's pretty depleted. 😅
Shriek: YOU LIAR!
Idia: *snuggling Shriek closer* Oh, I am so proud of you! Girl, you can rhythm drum with the best of 'em! 😊
Shriek: Ya mean it? 😃 Ya liked drummin' with me?
Idia: Yeah, you're like the only one other than Ortho who can keep up with my moves. And btw that monologue? Only a little cringe!
Shriek: *squeaking in triumph as she scurries up Idia's arm and onto his shoulders where she buries herself in his hair* I'm a little cringe! 😆
Idia: Ackpth! Quit it! That tickles! 😆*grabbing Shriek* Now it's time for YOU to soar like a comet!
Shriek: *squeal-laughing as Idia tosses her up and down into the air, the stars continuing to cascade down all around them*
Cater: Yeah, I'm totes getting a strike if I upload that. 🫤
Riddle: Of all the brazen, profane, DISRESPECTFUL-! 😡
Floyd: *bursting out laughing* Ah, man, that was perfect! 😆 Way to go, Batfish!
Jade: *chuckling* Goodness, the little dear's determined as ever.🤭
Azul: Troublesome as ever is more like it. 🙄
Crowley: Young Shriek, I insist you stop right this instant! This is no time for unstable demon magic!
Shriek: This is the PERFECT time for unstable demon magic! 😤 *twitching her ears at another clap of lightning and bangs the drums again* AHHHH, SHADDUP!!! 👿
*BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM*
The Crowd: *flinches at the drumbeats, yet many start to clap and cheer*
Trein: That's quite enough, young lady! 😠
Crewel: Your moxxie is admirable, pup, but your yapping is not! 😠
Reporter A: This is pretty intense! 😰
Reporter B: Is this what Starsending is like at Night Raven college?? 😰
Reporter C: Maybe we should have covered Royal Sword again instead? 😥
Crowley: NO! 😨 Nonononono!! Trust me, your decision was the correct one! Professors, I'm perfectly capable of handling this! Don't let those reporters leave by any means necessary!
Crewel: *baffled* What??
Trein: You just ordered everybody to clear out!
Crowley: Just go! *runs up to Shriek* Now then, Young Shriek! As your Headmage, I order you to remove yourself from that spot immediately! 😤
Shriek: Okay! *picks up the drum and flaps out of reach, still banging on them all the while*
Crowley: *chasing after her* YOU KNOW THAT ISN'T WHAT I MEANT!!
Vargas: AHAHAHA! Great use of that boundless stamina and agility, little beast!! 😆
Sam: *continues pouring glasses of starfruit juice at a nearby stand* Anybody want some refreshments while we're listenin' to these demonic drums? 😁
Crowley: WILL YOU TWO CEASE YOUR ENABLING CAPITALIST VENTURES AND HELP ME, HERE?!
Leona: *laughing as Shriek continually flies around the venue* Crazy brat... this beats last year's ceremony for sure. *notices the thunder building again* Hey, Savanaclaw! You just gonna stand there while ol' Jupiter snaps back at Pup?
Ruggie: *carrying a tray of Starfruit juice* Shishishi. Never a dull moment. 😁
Not to be outdone, many of the other dorms start joining the chant in between cheering Shriek on, thoroughly disorienting Crowley.
Kalim: WOOOOOO, KNOCK 'EM DEAD, SHRIEKY!! 😄
Jamil: Kalim! 😠 You know she's going to take that literally!
Vil: *glaring at Pomefiore* Give encouragement if you must, but if I hear ONE cuss out of any of you-
Epel: GO STICK YER HEAD UP YOUR CUMULONIMBUS ASS, ZEUS!!
Vil: EPEL, WHAT DID I JUST SAY?! 😡
Rook: Incredible, is it not? The roaring of the thunder clashing against the persistent percussion of Mon Petite Diables's musical defiance of the elements themselves! Oh, the dedication is so pure my heart may burst! 🥹
Lilia: *chuckling* What fun! If only our past two Starsendings were this lively! 😆
Silver: I don't think I could say if Sebek was lucky or unlucky to have gone ahead escorting Malleus back to the dorms.
Grim: Go, henchdemon, GO!!! 😸
Deuce: Think this'll give us a chance?
Trey: Can't say. Odds are this'll just cement the teacher's choice to pack the whole thing in. Not exactly the kind of behavior they want to be encouraging. And besides, it's not like we can control the weather.
Deuce: We worked so hard though... 😟 I managed to get into this school, and I know I'm far from a model student, but I lucked out and got picked to represent us. I was gonna call my mom and tell her how I did my part as a Stargazer. I wanted to give her some happy news… And now my chance is gone! Just like that! Damn it, this stinks! 😖
Idia: *scoffs* Leave it to the passionate-type to QQ at the first sign of trouble. ROFL.
Deuce: Idia...?
Idia: Okay, look, real talk—you're low-key being a baby right now. 😑 Who could've guessed the weather bureau's meteorologically determined forecast would prove accurate? Not you, apparently. 🙄
Deuce: What? You wanna say that to my face?? 😠
Idia: Hey, I get it. Sciencing is hard, LOL. 😏See, I'm not a chump like you, Deuce. I don't have it in me to go all out for these kiddie school activities. I'm not capable of running around like a headless chicken, collecting 300 Wishing Stars... *looking at the chaos Shriek is causing* And I'm definitely not some fearless little wild child who's gutsy enough to rage bait the gods themselves... All to get some introverted nerd out of his room for a ceremony. Now you guys? You ARE those chump. But if you weren't, I never would have heard those wishes...
Deuce: Huh? What are you...? *hearing the faint whistle of booster engines*
Idia: If these wishes can't reach the stars, we'll deliver them ourselves! 😈
Ortho: *rockets towards the group in gull Stargazer Gear* Idiaaa!
Idia: LET'S GOOOO! About time you got here, Ortho! 😁
Ignihyde Student A: Is that Ortho? 😲 Check out the starry specs on that gear!
Savanaclaw Student A: YOOOO! Little dude looks sick! 😃
Ruggie: *cackling wildly at the sight of Ortho flying in* Hahah! 😆 Man! I thought that kid was off his rocker when he told me his plan.
Leona: Didn't I tell ya he'd be fine?
Jack: You say like you weren't constantly looking over by the track field. 🙄
Crowley: Everyone, cease this uproar! This is supposed to be a professional-! *crashes into the hollow of the Drasil tree*
Shriek: *eyes absolutely shimmering with delight as she pauses her drumming to fly over to Ortho* ORTHO, YA LOOK... YA LOOK...!!
Grim: Sparkly! 😲
Shriek: SO FRICKIN' SPARKLY!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Ortho: This is my new Stargazer Gear attachment. It's an atmospheric escape apparatus Idia built for me! 😊
Deuce: Stargazer Gear? Really? Wait, did you just say "atmospheric escape"? 😲
Ortho: Yup! 😁
Idia: If the clouds are blocking our way, we'll just move the Wishing Stars to where there are no clouds. EZ. Ortho's gonna carry 'em up into space. 😌
Everyone: BWHAAAA?!?! 😱😱😱
Shriek: *bat squeaks of immeasurable euphoria*
Trey: Won't that be dangerous for Ortho?
Ortho: Nah. We've run plenty of tests. And this model's an Idia-original.
Deuce: You're both serious? Your plan is to jet into SPACE??
Ortho: Absolutely!
Deuce: Dude... THAT RULES!! 🤩🤩🤩
Idia: Whoa! Wha?! 😨 C'mon, we already got Chuunibat bein' a little flying foghorn, we don't need two extroverted noisemakers!
Deuce: Idia, you are OUT OF THIS WORLD! I mean, Ortho's technically going to be the one doing that, but STILL!! 😃
Idia: Ah, uh, don't... Not so close! 😖 Don't turn this into some touchy-feely moment! Look... I want to pull this off, just this once. For Ortho and Chuunibat. So... Deuce. Trey. You guys in?
Trey: You've thrown a doozy of a curveball at us, you know. But we've come this far. No sense backing down now, right?
Deuce: You said it! Ortho's gonna deliver the Wishing Stars for us. So we gotta back him up with the best performance we can give!
Idia: Hee hee. KK NP. You already did enough solo runs with the drums, Chuunibat. Let a pro show you how it's done. 😈
Shriek: DOUBLE DRUMS OF PANDEMONIUUUM!!! 👊😁👊
Ortho: My sensors are absolutely buzzing, but I can't troubleshoot a reason. Which I'm pretty sure means I'm super excited! 😊
Deuce: Hey, Ortho... The way I see it? You're the fourth Stargazer, no question. 😊
Ortho: *beaming* Thank you Deuce Spa- oof! *looks down to see Shriek hugging him tightly*
Shriek: *giving him a toothy grin* Your wish is comin' true! 😁
Ortho: *giggles* Not yet. Not until those stars touch the sky. 😊
Crowley: *finally prying himself out of the tree in as dignified a manner as he can muster* Now, hold on just a minute! What do you four think you're doing?!
Grim: Mrow! Quit the sappy junk and get out there, Stargazers! Ya got a crowd cheerin' and stars ridin' on ya!

As the last rays of sunlight disappear over the horizon, students from each and every dorm file out of the Hall of Mirrors and towards the tree, crowding around it with a few even laying out foldable chairs and blankets to sit on.
Cater: Are Trey and Deucey holding up okay? I can't really see 'em from back here. Ugh, knew I should have brought my selfie stick.
Riddle: If you had, I'd have collared you on the spot. 😑 You know those cumbersome things are prohibited in large crowds. Although, I can concede it's difficult for me to get a glimpse of anyone at the front out either.
Ace: Yeah, wonder why?
Riddle: What was that, Ace? 😒
Ace: I uh, know the feeling! 😬 Although, If I know Deuce—and I think I do by now—he's gonna be so freaked out he's frozen stiff.
Charles: Your faith in him is palpable.
Ace: Hey, I'm just being a realist!
Charles: I'm sure it's not that bad. Deuce is a pretty stalwart guy.
Deuce: *shaking like a newborn lamb* This...this is it. Do you think we can pull the dance off? W-why is it so hot out here?
Grim: Yeah that's kind of a thing in July. 🤨
Trey: Don't let your nerves get the best of you, Deuce. Try to relax your shoulders. We practiced a ton for this. But none of that will matter if you're scared stiff.
While everyone else chatters animatedly, Shriek perches deep in a cluster of branches in the tree. Surrounded by Wising Stars, her ears swivel in all directions as she closes her eyes and listens to the soft medley of wishes emanating from all of them.
Deuce: *calling from below* Shriek! C'mon, it's almost time!
Shriek: Comin'! *spreads her wings, but before she can take off, a familiar whisper and a shine catches her attention* Huh?
Shriek: *looking at one of the branches to see a Wishing Star with a skull drawing hanging from it, eyes widening as she realizes whose wish she's hearing before smiling wide and diving down to join the other Stargazers*
Trey: *helping readjust Shriek's robes after doing the same for Deuce* All ready?
Shriek: Yup! 😊
Crowley: I should inform you the reporters have arrived to cover the event. PLEASE do not disgrace us. 🙏
Deuce: Yessir!
Grim: Wow, so inspiring. 😑
Crowley: Speaking of public appearances—where might Idia Shroud be? 🤨
Trey: Looks like he's running late.
Crowley: Oh dear. Surely he wouldn't bow out at this juncture?
Deuce: I hope not. Then again, we ARE talking about Idia here...
Shriek: He'll come! I know it...
Deuce: *seeing how determined Shriek looks and smiling* You're right, Shriek. He'll be here.
???: ...AaaAAAugh!
Shriek: *ears twitching as she gets an expression of utter joy on her face*
Grim: The heck?? 🤨
Deuce: Is that...?
Idia: *dressed in full Stargazer robes and running clumsily towards the group* Do I seriously have to wear THIS?! OMG, this is beyond embarrassing! 😭😭 AaauUUUAAAAGH!!! 😱
Shriek: *barreling right towards Idia and crashing into him like a fuzzy little cannonball* DIIIIIAAAAAAAAA!!! 🤩 *after the two of them tumble to the ground* YOU'RE HERE! YOU'RE HERE! I KNEW YOU WOULD BE! 😃 YOU LOOK SO COOL!! THE ROBES AND YOUR HAIR LOOK LIKE A WHOLE GALAXY! WE'RE GONNA DRUM TOGETHER!! I SAW YOUR WISH UP THERE, AND IT WAS REALLY-
Idia: Chuunibat, PLEASE, I am not gonna make it through the night if you don't GET OFF MY LUNGS!! 😭😭
Shriek: Oh yeah, right!
Deuce: Idia! 😃 You made it!
Grim: Mrah? Where's Ortho? I thought he'd be with you.
Idia: Oh, he'll catch up later. He's busy making some tweaks...
Grim: Tweaks? 🤨
Crowley: I'm just delighted you made it. Let's get the ceremony underway before the weather turns on us, shall we?
Idia: Alright, Deuce, Trey, Chuunibat, you guys all ready?
Trey: I'm good!
Shriek: Drums of Pandemonium time! 👊😁👊
Deuce: ......
Idia: Wh-what now? 😥
Deuce: It's just...you seem different today.
Trey: Yeah, I noticed that too. I honestly expected you to change your mind and drop out last minute.
Idia: Geez, you must think I'm a turbo-flake... 😒I guess I deserve it, though.
Shriek: *ears suddenly perking up as she turns her head sharply towards the sky*
Idia: But who cares about any of that? Instead of live-blogging about my attitude, how about we focus on getting through the ceremony and—
*BOOOOOM*
Grim: *leaping nearly six feet into the air* MRAAAAAH!!! 🙀
Shriek: *looks up at the dark clouds blanketing the sky, quietly snarling*
Grim: How are you so calm?! That scared the livin' daylights outta me!
Crowley: It admittedly gave me a fright as well. A sudden burst of thunder like that certainly does a number on one's nerves.
Clearly the weather has taken a turn for the worse. I'm afraid I have no other choice. Everyone, the ceremony is canceled!
The Crowd: *groans and murmers interspered with some sighs of belief*
Deuce: Wait, but it's not raining yet!
Crowley: Did you not hear the thunder? We cannot possibly continue after that; it's out of the question. Not to mention the sky. Look above us! Rainclouds, as far as the eye can see!
Deuce: I-I mean, yeah, but-!
Trey: *putting a hand on Deuce's shoulder* Deuce, that's enough...
Grim: That crummy whale-cloud's blockin' our view of the stars! 😾
Idia:...
Crowley: Do you understand now? Holding the Starsending in this weather would court disaster. I'll see to it that the students get back to their dorms. The rest of you can break down the set-
*BOOOOOM*
Crowley: MERCIFUL HEAVENS!! what was that?!
Deuce: Another burst of lightning?
Idia: No way. That was way too close.
Trey: Wait, where's Shriek??
*BOOOOOM*
The crowds stop moving as everyone looks towards the Starsending drums near the base of the tree. The Pandemonian runes of Shriek's drum are glowing a blue-tinged magenta as is Grim's magestone and the eye of Mangal who Shriek is using as one of her drumsticks. When Shriek bangs on it twice more, a downright demonic reverberating drumbeat rockets into the clouds, almost as if trying to push back against the storm. The entire crowd flinches.
*BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM*
Grim: Mraaah! That beat's makin' my fur stand on end!
Crowley: Young Shriek, what are you doing?!
Shriek: *continuing to glare at the heavens rumbling with lightning above her, until she takes a deep breath and shouts at the top of her lungs* FUCK OFF, ZEEEEUUUUUUS!!!!!! 👿👿👿👿
Idia: *slumped over his work desk in full lab gear, lightly snoring*
Ortho: Looks like he dozed off. I can't really blame him. He pulled an all-nighter to assemble everything so it would be ready in time for Starsending. *carefully removing his brother's goggles, coat, and gloves, then picking him up and tucking him into bed* Guess I'll do a solo run for the performance test. *floating out the door*
Idia cracks open his bleary eyes after a moment, then reaches over on the desk for his Wishing Star and a marker. After drawing a skull on the star, he holds it to his lips and whispers his wish, causing it to gently light up.
Shriek: *perched upside-down on the open windowsil* Hey, check out that cloud!
Grim: Yeah, it's all big and whale-shaped!
Shriek: And that one's a scorpion! 😁
Trey: Looks like those are the only big ones too. Doesn't look like we'll have any trouble holding the ceremony. Right, Headmage?
Crowley: Hmm...
Deuce: Don't you agree, sir? We believed the weather would clear, AND we kept practicing! 😟
Crowley: You certainly did, but distant or not, those are still massive storm clouds heading our way! It's only a matter of time before they reach us. To ignore this fact and hold the ceremony would be... *hears his phone ringing and picks it up to see a call coming in from an unknown number* Hm? How odd... *answering* Hello? ...Yes? Idia Shroud?
Everyone: Huh?
Shriek: Dia?
Crowley: I never gave you this number. How did you...hm? The ceremony? The rest of your group and I were just discussing whether or not to cancel it, actually... Yes... Mmhm... I beg your pardon?! 😧 You can't just DO that! Wait! Idia Shroud, don't you dare— aaand he hung up. Of all the audacious...!
Grim: What'd he say?
Crowley: He demanded we go ahead with the ceremony, and said not to worry about the weather. He also informed me that he remotely accessed my PC and sent an email to the press. It said, "This ceremony will proceed as planned. We eagerly await your visit to our school." *sighs* It appears my hands have been tied. We've no alternative but to move forward with the ceremony!
Shriek: *beaming as she eagerly flaps around the office and dances with a similarly cheery Grim* WA-HOOOOOO!!! 😆
Deuce: *pumping his fist* Yes! 😄
Trey: *chuckling as he shakes his head* Never thought I'd see the day Idia uses his hacking skills for good.
Crowley: My goodness, what a quagmire...
Shriek: *shouting out the window towards the Hall of Mirrors* THANKS FOR THE QUAGSIRE, DIAAAA!! 😁
[[Starsending Prep- Day Five. Star Drasil Tree Behind Campus]]
Idia: *watching the others dancing through the tablet and floating over to where Shriek and Grim are inscribing something into the Stargazer drums with their claws*
Shriek: There! Done! 😊
Idia: *chuckling* You actually carved "kuwabara" into the rims?
Grim: Don't all your weeb shows say it wards off lightning? 😒
Idia: They're not "weeb shows", they're called anime! 😤 And that's drawing from an actual piece of mythology from the East where the land of a man named Sugawara Michizane whose grudge manifested in the form of lightning bolts that-
Grim: I cannot express how much I don't care.
Shriek: Ya should! Cuz kuwabara means mulberry field, so the mulberry jelly we dipped our claws in will make the spell extra strong!
Grim: *licking his paws* Hey, even if it doesn't, it's a win for me. 😋
Idia: *pulls up the kanji for Kuwabara on his tablet* Wanna add this to give it another defense buff?
Shriek: Uh-huh! 😃
Idia: You can put it right there next to the... Pandemonian runes... As if this ceremony wasn't going to be enough of a crapshoot...😰
Ortho: You guys! Trey Clover's suggesting we wrap up rehearsal now.
Idia: Oh, okay. A bit earlier than usual, isn't it?
Trey: I figured we could take some time to hang up all the Wishing Stars Deuce collected.
Shriek: YEAAAH!! 😄
Grim: Good luck with that, I'm just gonna make sure the jam don't go to waste! *reaches for the jar only to find it gone* MRAH! Hey!
Ortho: *holding the jar out of reach* C'mon, Grim.
Grim: Fiiiiiine. 🙄
[[Over the course of the next hour or so, the Wishing stars are hoisted into the tree by Ortho, Shriek, and Deuce and Trey on their brooms. Grim helps with adjusting, and Idia snaps some pictures of their progress to report back to Crowley.]]
Deuce: *wiping the sweat from his brow as he lands* Phew... That's the last of them. Boy, I sure gathered a lot of those things.
Shriek: *fluttering in front of him* I didn't hear your voice up there, Deuce.
Deuce: Myvoice? 🤨 I've been talking the whole time, though?
Shriek and Ortho: *giggling conspiratorially*
Deuce: Ohhh, you mean my Wishing Star? Gosh, I was so busy getting everyone else's that I forgot about my own.
Trey: *pulling his out of his robe pocket* We might as well hang ours up while we're here.
Deuce: Good idea. *taking out his Wishing Star and looking fondly at it for a moment before steeling himself* All right, here goes.
My wish is... to become a magic marshal!
Grim and Shriek: *tilting their heads in confusion* Huh??
Ortho: Magic marshals are an elite agency that handles magic-related crimes.
Shriek: So... you wanna be a cop?
Deuce: More or less. I know getting in there won't be easy, but I'm going to try my hardest. I'm gonna work hard, become an honor's student, and-
Grim and Shriek: *immediately pulling a face like they swallowed a thousand lemons*Euuuuunghhhhh...
Deuce: Okay, what is THAT look?!
Ortho: Well I think it's a very auspicious wish, Deuce Spade! 😊
Deuce: Heh, thanks. I'm sure my mom will worry a lot less if I get a respectable job.
Shriek: Can it not be one that hates fun?
Grim: And vagabonds?
Trey: Oookay, how about we head up our Ignihyde duo?
Ortho: I already made my wish last night, and Idia's probably going to make the same wish he does every year.
Idia: Huh? I gotta make my wish now too? 😥
Trey: I mean, you don't HAVE to...
Ortho: It's not like it's anything to be embarrassed about. Why not do it now, before you forget?
Idia: Um...
Deuce: Do you know what his wish is, Ortho? It's gotta be a good one if you wish for it every year, right?
Shriek: I wanna know Dia's wish!
Grim: Now my curiosity's PIQUED.
Idia: You're in for a letdown, I still have it in my room with me, so it's not like I can hang it up.
Ortho: It is? 🤨 I thought for sure I packed it.
Idia: Eh, what are you gonna do?
Shriek: TELL US YOUR WISH!!!
Idia: Okay! Okay! Usually, I'm always gunning for the sequel to Star Rogue to come out.
Shriek: Oh yeah, Star Rogue! 😃
Deuce: Star what now?
Trey: Don't think I've heard of that one.
Idia: Pfft. *scoff* Normies, am I right?
Ortho: It's a game my brother and I played a ton when we were younger. They announced a sequel for it, but then the development team was disbanded. Idia's been waiting for production to resume ever since.
Shriek: Ya think if they do a new one they'll put the hundred headed Ladonisastra in? 😃
Idia: They'd have no excuse to! He was only cut from the original because the graphics back then just weren't advanced enough to accommodate all the heads.
Ortho: But in this day and age, that'd barely take a few dozen manhours to program in. 😊
Trey: So, I take it this Star Thing is pretty fun?
Idia: Pretty fun? PRETTY FUN???? Star Rogue is a shmup game that had incredible, cutting-edge graphics for its time. It's a grand, epic space opera that got rave reviews from gamers and sci-fi fans alike!
I can still vividly remember the first time I played it. Those shining stars... The intense barrages from enemy ships... My wingmates praising me over the comms... It was such a pivotal moment in my gaming career! 😭😭😭
Grim: Ya lost me at "shmup"
Shriek: The shmup's the best part! Well, the monsters are the best part, but I like havin' sides of shmup!
Ortho: *bemused expression* You have no idea what shmup even is, do you, Shriek?
Shriek: Nope!😋
Trey: Well, at least you can appreciate how much he likes the game. Right? 😅
Deuce: Uh, yeah, totally. Sounds like a lot of fun!
Ortho: *hearing a bwip from Idia's tablet* Idia? Hey, Idia?
Shriek: Dia, where are ya???
Ortho: Guess the call got disconnected.
Deuce: Crap, I hope he didn't think I was being patronizing. 😥
Ortho: Don't worry about it. He always gets a little shy after a big info dump.
Grim: That just leaves you, Henchdemon.
Shriek: Huh?
Deuce: Yeah, I bet there's a ton of stuff you want to wish for.
Trey: Knowing her, it's probably going to be something intense. With a lot of teeth.
Grim: Hey, just so long as you're not still hung up on that book of the dead.
Ortho: The Starsending's not til tomorrow. You still have some time if you want to think on it a little more.
Shriek: *bringing out her Wishing Star and looking at it intently* Uh-uh. I know what I want. I wish...*tightening her grip on the star as she looks from her friends to the direction of the castle, then back to the star* I wish everyone knew it was okay to be okay and to not be okay. *watches the star light up and a smile slowly spreads across her face*
Grim: Uhhh.. what? 🤨
Deuce: Knew it was okay to not be... yeah, I'm lost. 🙁
Ortho: *smiles in realization* It's a little clunky with the wording, but I think it's a sweet wish. 😊
Trey: And a very needed one.
Shriek: *giggling* Yeah, I want it to reach the stars like in the story!
Ortho: Oh! That reminds me! *flies up into the big tree and brings down two Wishing Stars* Mind if I see everyone's stars? *gathers the stars and pops a marker out of one of his digits*
Deuce: You're labeling them?
Ortho: *drawing a spade, a clover, a little flame, and a hissing bat face on the stars* Mhm! That way, if they do get all the way up to the stars, we'll be able to pick our wishes out from everyone else's!
Trey: As long as the weather holds out.
Ortho: I hope it will.
Shriek: *flaring her wings with pride* We're Stargazers! We make wishes come true no matter what!
Idia: *having heard everything* Oh, you guys... *looks at the weather app on another monitor and sets his mouth into a line, opening up a folder on his laptop and some schematics before getting to work*
