2nd Anniversary Event — Ignite A Noise
Que my skeleton rising from the grave just to dance to Ego because it slaps way too hard 😂
Anyway, I decided to take a break from my mind numbing grind in Granblue since I already finished Proving Grounds + I don't feel like fully grinding out for gems in Enstars yet (even though I should because I have dire needs for the upcoming puka puka)
I mean ANYWAYS Chapters 1-5 under the cut :D
-Ignite A Noise-
Thanks to Haseyama, Starless hastily reopened to celebrate its second anniversary before the full restoration of the shop. Each team received a stage script with five interpretations from one original text.
Chapter 1
Cast: Kei, Kokuyo, Rindou, Mokuren, Mizuki, MC
MC
(Today they’re going to be talking about the 2nd Anniversary Performance...)
Unei
Good work, everyone.
Today, we’ll be having an important conversation about the 2nd Anniversary performance-
Haseyama
Quit blabbering, Unei. Time is golden after all.
Oi, Kei. You’ve got the new song, so I’ll leave the 2nd Anniversary up to you.
Kokuyo
Why the hell does he know about it?
Haseyama
I’m the owner, aren’t I? There’s nothing I don’t know about my own shop.
Kei
Fine. A 2nd Anniversary show from the beginning. There’s no reason to spare.
Haseyama
Oh, since it is the 2nd Anniversary, I’ll be laying down some rules.
Even though it’s a celebration, it won’t be much different from usual. The customers should be happy when watching the show.
With that in mind, here are the 3 rules.
First: The shows during this period should only be about the 2nd Anniversary. However, you will all decide what to do.
Rindou
So we’re allowed to choose the program?
Haseyama
That’s right. After a bit of discussion, it was decided...Surely you can understand that, don’t you?
Second: Repeated performances and cast members are prohibited.
Mizuki
Huh? The hell do you mean?
Haseyama
Don’t do the same performance twice in a row. The same goes to the cast members.
Mokuren
That’s a pain. Why is there such a rule? (read: WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN’T DANCE ON STAGE FOR THE WHOLE DAY?)
Haseyama
I’ve been receiving all of your selfish requests. Don’t keep using the same cast members, you’ll die from overworking.
In other words, this is the management looking out for you brats. You better be thankful.
Now, for the last one. Rule 3.
The cast members who get to perform on stage will be decided by this little lady. Really simple, isn’t it?
MC
H-huh!? I- I get to choose?
Haseyama
Yes, yes. You just need to tell daddy dearest. You don’t have to worry about the teams. (Don’t call yourself my daddy get out BLEGH)
It can be based on your favourite, or who seems to make the most profits. I’ll leave that decision up to you.
Mokuren
...Are you alright with that, Kei?
Kei
If that’s the case, all we can do is bear with it.
After all, this store is hers. Whoever she picks to be up on the stage will never be wrong.
Mizuki
Oi, MC. You know what to do, right? Pick everyone from Team B.
Rindou
Mizuki. Don’t pressure her.
Haseyama
Oi. If there’s any disagreements, take that outside.
This is all I have to say. All of you just have to do it or die trying, got it?
Unei
And without further ado, everyone, I hope everyone is able to prepare for the 2nd Anniversary performance well!
Oh, that’s right. Kei-san, when do you plan on giving Yakou-san his Team K stage outfit?
(everyone in visible shock)
Haseyama
...Hah? Yakou?
Kokuyo
Oi, Kei. The hell is he talking about?
Rindou
Yakou is coming back? And..he’s returning as a member of Team K?
Kei
…(sigh) My head’s in a daze right now...
This wasn’t my doing. And speaking of K, this matter doesn’t involve the rest of you.
Unei, I’ll talk to you later about the finer details.
Unei
Huh? Me? Why do you need to talk to me...?
Yakou will be returning for the 2nd Anniversary Performance. If there isn’t 25 people, the cast members will not be enough, right?
Kokuyo
You know, this talk is going way too fast. Is there any idiot who would come back after leaving?
Haseyama
Unei. If you’re done here, go back to work. You’re not coming back here until you find out what the hell is going on.
Unei
H-huh!?
Chapter 2
Cast: Zakuro, Mokuren, Kokuyo, Mizuki, Kei, Rindou
--A few days ago.
Zakuro
Oh my, oh my. All the tops of each team. I pray you forgive my impudence.
Mokuren
Talking pretentiously is fine. Just hurry up and get to the point.
Zakuro
Oya oya, such ridiculousness. The foundations for human relationships is not limited to labor, is it not?
Kokuyo
Sorry. I’m not good at exchanging words, so will my fists do instead?
Zakuro
Terrifying, as expected of Team W’s top. Even in such a place, your savagery is outstanding.
However, I do not wish to have my face shape changed. Without further ado, let’s begin, shall we?
This is regarding the 2nd anniversary celebration of Mr. And Mrs. Miki’s Starless.
Rindou
This is...a screenplay and recording?
Zakuro
Yes, it would be wise to hand these over to your respective teams. This is all for the 2nd anniversary.
Kokuyo
Hah....why the hell do I have to bother giving it to them.
Mokuren
I agree.
Mizuki
Oi. Where’s Team B’s recording?
Zakuro
Surely if we present the script, Heath will be ready to make one, yes?
Mizuki
‘f course! It’s ‘cuz Heath is amazing after all.
Kei
Dostoevsky? And it seems the source for all these is “The Brothers Karamazov.”
Zakuro
Correct. All five screenplays were derived from the same source material.
A grand play about the Karamazov clan’s feast. Different truths from different viewpoints, a commonplace theme in our world.
Well then, this is all the wisdom the heavens have deigned to grace me with.
The rest is up to our outstanding tops. Please guide us well.
Mokuren
Tch. You speak too much.
Haseyama
Hnn...I see.
Chapter 3
Cast: Akira, Maica, Heath
Akira
Hey, did you guys hear about the rules for the 2nd Anniversary?
Maica
Wasn’t it something like “If you perform once, take a break once,” or something?
Akira
Yeah, yeah. That one.
Maica
I’m pretty sure there were other rules too.
Heath
MC chooses who gets to go up the stage, and the performance will be decided by those cast members who were chosen.
Maica
Ah, that’s right.
Akira
So let’s say, I was put into a team with everyone from K, I wonder...?
Maica
What of it?
Akira
I’m from Team W after all, so my original performance should be “GOLGODA.”
Maica
That’s right.
And I’m with Team P’s “Only seek you.”
Heath
B’s is “Venom.”
Akira
So what happens if I’m put in with the Team K members? What’ll happen to “GOLGODA”...?
Heath
Well, if it’s going to be a vote of majority, wouldn’t you perform Team K’s “MADNESS JOKER”?
Akira
Right?
So I would have to sing ”MADNESS JOKER.”
Maica
...But at that point, wouldn’t the other people try to read the room?
Akira
Are the performers going to perform “GOLGODA” even though they aren’t used to it?
Maica
Ah...you have a point.
Akira
Majority vote is scary, ain’t it? There’s power in numbers, Maica.
Heath
Hey, Akira.
In the first place, it’s MC after all.
What kind of performance will it be if there’s no singer or MC?
Akira
Eh? There was such a thing?
Maica
Well, it’s possible...in theory.
Akira
Eh. But...isn’t that bad?
Heath
Maybe it is.
Maica
I’ll talk to MC in a bit. She needs to make sure she includes a singer in her selection.
(Your words can’t stop me I had a team of just all dancers)
Akira
See you later~ Hey, since it’s so important, you’ll have a word in for me, right?
Maica
Like hell I will.
Chapter 4
Cast: Yakou, Maica, Sinju
Maica
Fuu. I told MC about the singers, but I wonder if it will be okay in the meantime...
...Hn?
Why are you so deep in thought, Yakou?
Yakou
Ah, Maica.
It’s been a while since I last saw it, but the ceiling sure is huge...
Maica
Well, that big whale made of bones is gone after all.
Sinju
What’s up, you two? What are you talking about?
Yakou
We were just talking about the whale-less ceiling.
Sinju
Ah, the whale. It feels a bit lonely without that there.
Maica
Well, since there’s the risk that it may fall again, this is good for now.
Yakou
I think it’s really lonely without it. After all, you could see it even from the stage.
Sinju
He...ehehe.
Yakou
What the hell. Why are you laughing all of a sudden, that’s gross.
Sinju
Welcome back, Yakou!
Yakou
...But I didn’t even come back. I’m just here to help.
Sinju
But I heard from Unei that you were going to be in Team K.
Maica
Huh? You’re going to be in Team K?
Yakou
Ah, Unei actually contacted me a while ago. He said Team K was in a pinch, and asked for my help.
Maica
So that’s how it is...So won’t be Ginsei returning to K and Yakou won't return to P?
Yakou
Probably. This is a situation with Starless, so I have no idea either.
Sinju
But now we can be in Starless together again. Even if the teams are different, I’m still happy.
Yakou
What are you talking about, Sinju. This is the most convenient for both teams after all.
I won and you lost. It’ll hard to get revenge if we’re on the same team again.
Sinju
...Yeah. That’s right.
Next time, for sure, I’ll win! I won’t lost to Yakou again!
Maica
Yes, yes. And that’s as far as you two go. The first thing Sinju needs to do now is to continue cleaning.
And Yakou is only an understudy, right? You don’t have the authority to start a versus.
Climb up the ranks first, then we’ll have that rematch.
Yakou
Right. I was given another chance, so I’ll make sure to work hard in Team K.
But, I’m just an ordinary performer like Kasumi. So, please adjust the shift accordingly.
Sinju
Yep! Once again, let’s both do our best, Yakou!
Chapter 5
Cast: Menou, Hari, Kasumi
Menou
..By the way, I just saw Yakou here earlier. Did he come back to Starless?
Hari
No, formally he hasn’t returned yet.
While continuing to work in his day job, he’s volunteering to help perform here at Starless.
Menou
So he’s doing this without getting paid? Why?
(Good question Yakou why the fuck-)
Hari
It may be a conflict with his morning job. There are many places that place a rule that prohibit them from working side jobs.
Menou
That’s irrational.
Hari
Plus, it seems he’s starting here as an understudy for Team K.
Menou
Heh, so he’s not back to Team P?
Why though? It would have been more fun if he came back to us in Team P.
Kasumi
Well, Team P does have Ginsei now, so~
Here are the rest of the vegetables. Menou, weren’t you supposed to be peeling them?
Menou
Well, I am pretty inept after all~
By the way, how is Kasumi able to work as a salaryman while attending the shows?
Kasumi
Eh? What do you mean?
Menou
I mean, wouldn’t you want to play the center role? How would you be able to?
Kasumi
I’m from the mob after all~
Us mobsters have our own roles.
Menou
Hm, you won’t budge, will you?
Hari
Well, I think I understand what Menou is trying to say.
Yakou is very ambitious.
He won’t sit by and just idly stay as an under or 5th place.
Continuing to perform at the top of the stage while working as a salaryman is no problem for him at all.
Kasumi
Ah, I feel a bit embarassed now that you say that.
Menou
Yeah. Amazing~
Hari
He’ll only be suffering from here on out. He’s basically living life between a rock and a hard place from now on.
Menou
Really? If it were me, I’d just let go of my main job without a doubt, I think.
Hari
...Is that so?
Menou
Since...Wait, no. I need to be peeling the vegetables right now.
Hari
You should at least tell me why you would, since you already started.
Menou
Just because I feel like it. Now, let’s get to work. We can’t open the store without finishing preparations, can’t we?
Kasumi
Menou, you’re peeling it way too hard.

Headpats (HC)
Fandom: Blackstar Theater Starless
Pairing: fem!Reader x All, featuring Nekome
Warning: None
Requested by: Anon
Prompt: Hello! Can I request headcanons for a fem!reader shorter than Yoshino trying to give all the starless guys headpats? I couldn't stop thinking about giving some of them head pats after reading some of the recent in-game stories, but then had a funny image of someone small trying to do so.
A/N: Hi! Lol I’m shorter than Yoshino, and I would totally try to pat the heads of everyone in Starless~. 😂 My secret: high heels. XD Hcs in the order of tallest to shortest members.
———————————————
You are determined to pat the head of the tallest members in starless, and NOTHING can stop you, not even your height.
Sin repeatedly watches you stand on your toes, reach for his head, lose your balance, and fall against his chest.
After numerous failed attempts, Sin wordlessly picks you up by your waist and lifts you enough to let you touch his head.
As you pat away, Sin intensely watches you, waiting to see your reactions once you realize how close your face is to his.
Kongou blinks in confusion when he sees you get on your toes and attempt to touch his head.
He stares at you quietly as you look around the room, grab a chair, climb up, and pat his head.
"All you wanted was to pat my head? Why didn't you just ask?" Kongou heartily laughs as he helps you off the chair.
Kokuyou watches you curiously as you stand in front of him and jump with your hand reached up.
"What are...you doing?" He asks in a slightly irritated voice, his eyebrow twitching.
When you don't answer, he kabedons you against the alley wall and locks his eyes with yours, "Behave yourself, otherwise, I will gobble you up."
Qu tilts his head and watches you in amusement as you stand on your toes and try to reach for his head. “My dear, is there something I can help you with?”
“All I want to do is pat your head. Who told you to be so tall?”
Qu lifts you by your waist and helps you onto the office room sofa before stepping closer to you. His golden eyes peer at you from his long eyelashes as he flashes a charming smile, “Is this better?”
Sotetsu knows what you are trying to do and gets on his toes to prevent you from reaching his head.
The more you protest, the more he laughs and messes with you.
If you don't give up, Sotetsu will turn your back to him, latch onto your wrists, and whisper in your ears, "Stop being so cute...or else, I will make you regret it."
Kei silently watches you get on your toes and struggle to reach his head. Just when he thought you couldn't possibly get any more adorable, you proved him wrong.
He gives you a soft smile as he bends down to your height, bringing his face closer to you and giving you access to his head.
"Have I told you how cute you are?" He whispered, hitting the deeper ranges of his already deep voice. As a shudder runs through your body, Kei chuckles and pecks your nose.
Nekome is about to greet you, but seeing a glint of excitement in your eyes, he stops.
He waits for you to take action, and when you get up on your toes to reach his head, Nekome brushes his lips against your fingers, earning a gasp from you.
“What was that for?”
“Hm? Were you not trying to get a kiss from me?” He innocently asks, “Ah, I know what the problem is. I didn’t kiss you in the right place, correct?”
Before you can answer to question, Nekome places a kiss on the corner of your lips. "Is this place better?"
The second you try to reach for his head, Rico grabs your wrist and sighs, "What do you think you're doing?"
When you tell him you want to pat his head, he frowns, "Why should I let you? Hm...let's play a little game: if you do something to please me, I will let you pat my head."
Rico watches a range of emotions flash across your face, making him chuckle, "So, my little bird, what will you do for me?"
Mokuren is not pleased with you for trying to touch their head. The more you attempt, the more irritated they get.
No matter how many times you try to be cute, make puppy eyes, or plead, Mokuren refuses to let you touch their hair.
"Oh, Moku, if you let me pat your head, I will cook for you."
In a flash, they sit down and let you pat their head to your heart's content.
Hari isn’t fond of anyone touching his hair, so when you try to reach towards his head, he politely holds your hand. “Please refrain yourself from tussling my hair.”
You nod, but knowing that Hari likes to be prim and proper, you say, “Oh, Hari, your shoelace is untied.”
He thanks you and bends down. Taking this opportunity, you giggle and pat his head before walking away. Hari can’t believe he fell for your trap.
Akira follows your hand as you continuously jump with your arm stretched out. "Um...are you drunk or somethin'?" He asks while looking at you like you are crazy.
Once you pout and tell him what you were trying to do, Akira laughs and ruffles your hair, "Then why didn't you just say so?"
He lowers his head and places your hand on top of his head, "There."
Gui is puzzled when you try to touch his head. He copies your actions, making you laugh.
"Gui, what are you doing?"
"Following along. Am I not supposed to do that?" His innocent expression melts your heart.
After you explain to him, Gui is even more confused, but he asks only one question, "Will patting my head make you happy?"
Seeing your nod, Gui smiles and brings his head to your height.
At first, Kasumi thinks you are trying to move his bangs aside, so he playfully dodges.
"Hold still. I just want to pat your head."
Kasumi is a bit puzzled and wonders why you want to pat his head, but he bends down anyways.
Amidst patting his head, you notice him gently gazing at you with his steel-colored eyes through the gap of his bangs.
Heath quietly follows your hand to his head and tilts his head, "What's...wrong?"
You shake your head and get on your toes, leaving the rapper even more confused. Not knowing what to do, Heath bends down and lets your fingertips graze his hair.
When he sees your satisfied smile, Heath feels his heart skip a beat.
Rindou is surprised when you suddenly run up to him and jump while holding your hand close to his face. “Careful, you may hurt yourself if you lose your balance. Also, what are you trying to do? Did Mizuki put you up to this?”
"Nope, I just want to pat your head, but first, I need to remove your hat."
He smiles sweetly, removes his hat, and places it on your head. Rindou then kneels in front of you before kissing the back of your hand and resting it on his head. “Your wish is my command.”
Ginsei watches you in confusion for a while. Seeing that you will not give up whatever you are up to, he asks, "Princess, what are you trying to do?"
When you tell him you want to pat his head, he leads you to a chair before sitting down. "Pat away."
He can't stop smiling after seeing how happy you look while patting his head.
Sinju watches you with wide eyes as you run towards him with full force and nearly knock him backward with your hug. Before he can say anything, you place your hand on his shoulder and jump up.
He isn’t sure what is going on and is too shocked to ask what you are doing. All Sinju can do is stare at you, baffled and a bit scared.
“Ah, I thought I could touch your head,” you pout.
Sinju wraps his arms around you and rests his forehead on your shoulder. “Now you can.”
Takami sees you reaching for his hair and quickly dodges. He curiously asks, "And what might you be doing?"
"Trying to pat your head."
Takami looks at you, a bit stunned, not expecting you to say that. "Well, that sounds like a wish I can fulfill...but why ask for something so simple?"
He ends up smoothly changing the topic, making you forget all about wanting to pat his head.
Every time you try to reach for his head, he tilts his head back. "The hell are you doin'? Knock it off, it's annoying."
“But your head looks so pat-able.”
Finding your words sweet, Mizuki pouts and leans down, “Only this one time.”
Mizuki's cheeks turn red, and he averts his eyes, secretly enjoying your headpats.
Taiga quietly watches you get on your toes and reach for his head. He rapidly blinks a few times but doesn't protest and even leans down.
As you pat his head, the gamer stares at you blankly, but the more he stares, the more he realizes just how close you are. Not that he is complaining.
How Taiga wishes he had the courage to lean in and steal a kiss from you. If he did, would you get mad at him? But...better safe than sorry.
Ran gets what you are trying to do right away and mimics you. When you jump, he jumps and makes it even more difficult for you to reach his heights.
You ask him to stop, and he cluelessly says, “But I thought we were playing a game.”
If Ran wants to pay like this, then you weren't planning to back off either. “So, how does Sabu look when he wants you to pet his head?”
As soon as Ran bends down to mimic Sabu, you pat his head and giggle, “Good boy.”
Zakuro’s eye twitches when he sees you trying to reach his head. “Oya oya, what are you doing?”
When you say you want to touch his head, he immediately refuses, “Ara ara, if you want to pat someone, go find a puppy...or a member of Team B.”
“A member...of Team B?”
“Wan wan.” Zakuro chuckles and walks away with a little skip to his step.
Maica frowns when you block his path and try to touch his hair. He. does.not.like.anyone.touching.his.hair.
No matter how much you protest, Maica refuses to let you pat his head.
As soon as you start pouting, he pulls you into a tight hug and doesn’t let go until you get rid of the idea of touching his hair.
Yakou stares at you blankly when you try to reach his head and fail several times.
He doesn’t know what’s going on but decides to see how things play out. Just then you pull him by his collar to your height and pat his head.
Yakou stares at you with wide eyes as you walk away happily, announcing you have three more members to go.
He isn’t sure what you just did and why, but his cheeks turn red. He already knew you were adorable, but this time around, you crossed all limit of cuteness.
Menou notices you eyeing his head and thinks you may be up to something. So, when you try to stand on your toes, he already knows what you want to do.
To stop you from achieving your goal, Menou rests his arms on your head and uses it as a pillow. “How comfortable.”
His actions shock you, but you are even more shocked when you start to feel Menou’s weight on your head. “W-Wait, Menou, are you dozing off? Menou!”
A few moments later, Team P walks in to find you lying on the floor with Menou using your body as a pillow.
Unei is startled when you burst into management's office and yell, "Second last member!"
You march up to him and start patting his head. Even though he is baffled, Unei's mind goes blank, and his cheeks redden. Could this be your way of showing affection?
When you stop patting his head, he shyly asks, "W-Why did you stop?"
Yoshino blinks when you suddenly start patting his head. "Um...do you like my hair? Does it remind you of cotton candy?"
"Your head looks very pat-able. Also, you are one of two members of Starless whose head I can reach without struggling."
As you leave giggling, Yoshino slightly winces. Did you really have to indirectly remind him of his short height? Why are there giants in Starless?
For the rest of the day, Yoshino would glare anytime he would cross paths with Nekome, Kei, Kokuyou, Kongou, Qu, Sin, and Sotetsu.
