With NASA announcing their streaming service NASA+ and also announcing it’s going to be free and also ad free, I’d just like to appreciate the lengths they go to make scientific knowledge and exploration as available as they possibly can.
Okay... Switching gears here... Noir! Have you ever read stories about cool things? Like knights? phantom thieves? Robots? Magicians? cute creatures with super powers? ungodly cosmic horrors beyond our comprehension...? Animals?
(Pay no mind to how weirdly specific these are. Just know Adeleine is absolutely not associated with any of them! :D)
"...Be weird toward my siblings and you'll regret it..."
"Anyway, yeah. I kind of like all genres of what you'd call...cringe fiction, I guess...? The stuff that's supposed to be light-hearted and goofy but then it gets all serious and deep?"
"...I used to make up a lot of stories like that for Adeleine. There was the one about the really tall knight who steals all the food... The band of cat thieves who get tangled up with this giant octopus..."
(Outside of really liking the head honcho cat, I remember she thought the plot for that one was too "silly." I did my best...)
"Then there was the blue-haired robot boy and his mom that even I wonder if I went too far..? Probably went hard on that one cause I was nursing my ego from her reaction to 'Meow Mobsters.'
"And the forest guardians versus the dark warrior."
"...That one..."
"That one kinda came true though....To me."
(Which is still REALLY messed up.)

[Surprise Bonus?!]
So, the whole "Young Noir tells Kid Adeleine the plot of DL2 as a bedtime story" was actually an illustration I had planned to complete while I was in the middle of working of Arc 2 of Apologies.
I never managed to get it going quite right and began to fall off of doing those large painterly pieces, so it's stuck in a perpetual work-in-progress state. Might as well share it here though!
In case you recognize the long comic formatting, it was indeed intended as a parallel to my piece on Noir + Kirby's duel, "Darkened Skies." The goal here was to hint at Blade's defeat of Rick, Coo, and Kine as well as his "abandoning" (rescuing) Gooey.
...But also, (hinted at by Adeleine's "they'd be trapped forever and wouldn't even be able to die" referencing Noir's inability to get out from under Zero's control, even after losing to Kirby) to show that he too was a victim and desperately in need of a hero...
Noir, was it? How strange, such a strong aura from a non magic based lifeform. Quite... similar to my own. I...wish you luck.
"!!"
(A fairy? From Ripple Star?)
((Except...huh, is this that aura thing she was talking about?))
"First off...? My little sister would LOVE you."
"The only thing she talks about more than fairies is..."
(..."Monsters?" "Horror?")
(A-Adeleine's just going through a phase right now! Just a phase. You didn't raise her wrong, Noir. You didn't fail her because you were too messed up. She's just acting her age. It's fine. It's all fine!)
"Also, my uh...thing? You don't want it to be similar to yours."
(...You don't want anything to be similar to me.)
"So, yeah, good...nah, better luck to you."

//AN: Unlike other games/lore that Noir is spotty on, he is perfectly familiar with Ripple Star and the fairies there because Dark Matter put a lot of attention on that planet. Though I get the feeling Moonstone is not your typical fairy? >w<
(Sorry, I just recently joined the server so I'm still catching up on Moonstone (and everyone else's lore. Sounds like she's already had some "experiences" in her story!)
-
(Also, Apologies!Adeleine is secretly as much of an edgelord as her brother. She's just the optimistic kind, gleefully indulging in creepy scary-not-scary stories preteens love while he takes everything wayyy too seriously. XD)
"Part of me wants to ask what happened, but another part of me doesn't want to know. To leave the planet in a state like that... it must have been terrible. Although I'm not entirely certain if I got off that easy... after all, one moment everything's fine and the next I was thrown straight to Pop Star, Earth froze over and I found out that my best friend died trying to figure out where I'd gone."
"But I'm being a bit rude, aren't I? I never even introduced myself - the name's Jacob Wheeler. I also go by 'Plasma Knight', but only when I'm doing my duties as a Star Warrior. Pleasure to meet you."
(Same human OC from before - any asks that refer to him will use the name Jake from now on!)
"I don't know how the planet got that way."
"I just know that...I don't miss it."
The only ones you cared about either left
or were **** ** **** *** *****
"...Maybe I should miss it? Maybe that's what made me such a 'good' Dark Matter. All that time and I never did find out...why me."
((...Master Zero...EYE...!!))
-
"That story of yours... In my last days as a human I... I was so terrified the same thing would happen to Adeleine... The relief I felt when I finally realized, not only was she blissfully happy on Popstar, she never found out about me..."
(...Well, almost...)
-
"Star...Warrior?"
"...Hold up. You guys are REAL??"
(I thought I made you up...)
-
//AN: As Noir's verse is very close to the game-verse, he has never, even as Dark Matter, encountered a "Star Warrior." But as his "Twinkle Popopo" bedtime stories include a lot of random and adjacent Kirby lore, and the GSA/Star Warriors have appeared there. He's in for a surprise with all the tournament folk! XD

Hey. No. I killed myself when I was alive and it was the worst thing that ever happened to me. You do not get to joke about that shit just because youre dead. Suicide jokes are never funny.
