"Who said I'd kill them with this? I'll simply wound them a little as pay back. I'll make sure I aim for nonvitals, Bella."
Star happily took the bow and slung the arrows over her shoulder.

[i]The taller woman's face would break out with a thin grin at the mention of "Bella", before returning back to a straight line.[/i] "Mm. Gotcha, didn't know whether you'd go full punisher or some shit, sorry.. You ready to head out, Starlight?"
-
Star snickered. "Starlight? The f*ck?....Y-Yeah, o-okay." She continued to laugh as she began to walk and mumbled. "Starlight...."
-
"Starlight. It's a hardcore name, I know.. think about it, a bunch of hardcore fuсkers getting their asses kicked by Bella 'n Starlight.." [i]Isabella chuckled quietly to herself, as she began to hold the nullifier crystal in her hand. It was likely to draw in any thieves, or anyone who recognized the value of the gem, or anyone that may have recognized Star.[/i]
-
Star laughed some more. "Yeah, I guess so. You're pretty cool, Bella. Now, we hunting some scum or not?" [spoiler]Wait, is them gem supposed to make the guys come back?[/spoiler]
-
"Cool.." [i]Isabella pondered on the word for a bit, though she did nod in agreement.[/i] "...Waiting on you, ha. And looking about for these fuсkers, too." [spoiler]If they're interested in a giant woman holding a shining crystal, yes. Lol.[/spoiler]
-
Star twirled an arrow between her fingers and whistled, as if she were thinking something. "Three..." She drew an arrow and fired faster than the blink of an eye. It looked like she missed when it hit a sign, but it deflected off and a scream could be heard from around a corner. "...guys down."
-
[i]Isabella had been.. stunned, by the shot, her mouth slightly opened as if she was attempting to speak. However, no sound would leave her lips, only a sigh before she nodded her head.[/i] "Can't say that I've ever seen a "three birds, one stone".. seen plenty of two's. How did you.." [i]She would consider the two eyes, of course. This time, Isabella smiled a little.[/i] "It's not something with the eye, is it? I mean - those fuсk's are around us, we couldn't see them. Least, I can't."
-
"No. If I used the eyes I'd have taken more than a simple warm-up three down. Do you take me as an amatuer?" Star casually fired another arrow to seemingly no where and more screams were heard. "Eight total now...." She mumbled to herself.
-
"...No, not at all." [i]Isabella just studied the second shot, a certain astonishment upon her face. Yet she didn't seem to accept it just yet.[/i] "Gods damnit, save some for me.. it's been too long since I've gotten into melee."
-
Star giggled and shrugged. "Okay, but I only left four, so I hope that's enough for you. I was a second away from cutting their heels so they couldn't walk." She gestured to an alley where four men appeared to be running from. Two had bats, one a police baton, and another a wooden board. "Have fun, Bella. Bella o Bella Bella...that rolls off the tongue...."
-
"Bella, o' Bella. Bella 'n Starlight.. nah, Bella 'n Star sounds better." [i]And just like that, Isabella would smile a little, before fading into.. nothing. Her body shifted, before being blown into the wind, dissipating then and there.[/i] [i]Immediately, the men found themselves within a thick fog, as the alleyway seemingly closed up upon them. Star could watch, as the blockades of the alleyway began to push them together, until it stopped. The actual alleyway had some width to it, which made matters worse, as one of the gang members was suddenly pulled into the fog. Then, another, finally the remaining two pulled in instantly. Their shrieks rang out, before silence.[/i] "...Don't ask." [i]Isabella seemingly reappeared next to Star, as the fog would lift, revealing the four subdued bodies. The men groaned in pain, bones and limbs shattered and broken here and there.. all the while, Bella seemed a little angry.[/i] "They deserve worse. Fuсking cowards. Though I.. can't really say that, me pulling that shit."
-
"Calm down, Bella." Star giggled again and smiled, placing a hand on Bella's shoulder. "What happened to that lovely smile I saw, huh?"
-
"...Well, ah.. anger issues and such. I'm fine, just fuming a little." [i]With Star's sudden comfort and slight joke, Isabella would smile a little, shrugging a little in response. She seemed embarrassed at the display of abilities.[/i]
-
"Well, you need something cold to calm down then, eh? How about we get some icecream...after I change clothes?" Star patted Bella on the upper back lightly.
-
Edited by Weeaboo Of War: 10/27/2017 2:10:05 AM"Er.. ice cream. Sure." [i]The term "ice cream" seemingly confused the woman, yet she would accept it. Though Star would probably remember the that Isabella was.. not from this world, to say the least. Therefore, she would need an explanation on the glorified topic of ice cream.[/i]
-
"I'll see you here in ten minutes?" Star began to hop away happily, turning to hear Bella's answer.
-
"Um.. sure. Yeah." [i]Isabella would have to entertain herself, in that time.[/i] [i]She first began with cleaving things apart with the axe at her hip. The weapon was previously undrawn, yet she unbuckled the tool, letting it be free of the leather bounds. The weapon's shaft was about fourteen inches in length, while the blade was about eight inches thick and an inch wide, the steel edge slanted for more cutting potential. She cut apart most things, nothing living of course - newspapers, boxes, signs, a few fences, a bench.. before stopping as the few people in the area called her a[/i] "fuсking Dojo diсkwаd" [i], of which succeeded in pissing her off even more.[/i] [i]Slumping down on the torn bench, she was pleasantly surprised that no authorities had came. Though she didn't try that again, else she'd have cops on her tail - while she only then considered Star's reaction. She shuddered a little - Starlight wouldn't like the unnecessary chaos. So she had to do something else.[/i] [i]When Star returned, she found Isabella.. repairing a massive mess. Or trying, anyway. As the fence fell down again, Isabella grunted to herself, stomping her foot quickly on the ground as she looked up into the air in her fury. If Star listened, she could promptly head the woman count to herself, through sharp breaths.[/i] "-One, two, three, four.."
-
Star nervously smiled and laughed while she slowly and cautiously walked towards Isabelle. She now had on clean black leggings and a loose, white tank top. "You okay there, Bella? Did something happen?"
-
[i]Isabella turned back, her face going a little pale at the sight of the returning Star.[/i] "Oh, I'm.. fine. There was this assassin, and they tried to cut my throat, so I threw him to the ground and.." [i]She waved her hands at the mess around the two.[/i] "I was just cleaning up the mess he made. Tried to slice me open, he swung too hard and spun himself around and cut open that fence.." [i]It was very clear that she was being sarcastic.[/i]
-
"Uh huh." Star laughed and shook her head while putting an arm around Bella. "I totally believe you, Bella. 100%. Completely. No sarcasm at all."
-
[spoiler]Must I mention that Isabella's still in full armor? Lmao.[/spoiler] "Ha.. well, at least someone believes me. Maybe that's what happens when your real father was.. I'll tell you later. We should go.. get ice cream." [i]Isabella did seem confused about the topic of "ice cream", but she was willing to see about it still. She patted Star on the back, looking down at the shorter woman as a smile crossed her face.[/i] "Lead the way, m'lady. You heard right, you're temporarily "m'lady". If this goes well.. might be promoted to "my lady" or something." [i]Sarcastic, joking, and prone to anger issues. Isabella was the whole package.[/i]
-
"Okay then?" Star chuckled as she led the way to an icecream parlour. The outside was all colorful and surrounded by happy families.
-
[i]The families didn't seem too happy to Isabella, at least not in her eyes. At the sight of them, her smile shifted into a simple, melancholic line of an expression. The hand on Star's back closed a little, though the sadness would disappear, replaced by a shorter smile than before.[/i] "So, how does.. this stuff work? I mean, ice cream is.. isn't a thing in Trayve."
-
"It's ice, cream, and awesomeness all put together. You'll love it." They got up to the counter and Star looked over the options. "Let's see...I think you should get a cone, but what to put in it?"
-
"...Chocolate?" [i]The giant of a woman would softly murmur, pointing at the option of "Chocolate".[/i] "Funny.. that's the one thing that I recognize on this. We have a baker, in the Keep, you see.. he and his wife live there, and cooked treats for us when we were little.. thank the gods for him and his hard chocolate, though. His pies were good, but those pieces of chocolate that you could break apart, they'd melt into your mouth and taste like heaven. Sorta, anyway.." [i]A few people had begun to stare at Isabella.[/i] "...So this ice cream stuff is like that?"
