The Meister Assassin was rummaging through the clothing racks in the back of the stage. He wanted more nice things. He had plenty of functional clothes, but most weren't... his style. Black★Star wanted things to wear for parties, and enough so that if he accidentally destroyed them he would still have another shirt to wear. He was a bit harsh to property and clothing... and weapons, and buildings... people... monsters... anything not properly reinforced and tempered.

He tossed a few silk shirts into a bag, most shades from black to gray. Then kept looking around. This was about the time he heard someone entered. His training told him to hide, which he did, effortlessly. It didn't take him any effort to get to the catwalks above the stage.

...

Then he turned on one of the non-destroyed spotlights, and dropped down onto the DEAD CENTER OF THE STAGE into a flashy pose. Remarkably he did it without a word, just a grin. Stars sparkled around him for no apparent reason.

Garnet jumped, her hand flying to the knife at her side. She'd thought herself to be alone, and when she was alerted otherwise, her first instinct had been to think it was something that intended her harm. However, when she noticed the spotlight, and that it was a person on the stage, she paused. Her hand drew away from the knife, and before she knew it she was applauding.

"That was a marvelous entrance!" she said, making her way down the aisles, toward the stage.

Black★Star grinned, another person in awe of his greatness. He hopped off of center stage leaving his bag there. Walking to meet her in the aisle, "Well, it was a little off, I could of used another spotlight... maybe in a different color, and a higher jumping point. Possible some smoke machines, and my bag made the pose a little off. It is proper for an assassin to have a grand entrance."

It took him a moment to realize the problem in what he said, "Oh, not assassinating anyone here. No Eggs of Kishin to worry about, just those dull crabs." Hoping to reassure her that he had no intent to harm her, unless she was evil. She didn't seem that evil, she liked his entrance! Okay, so she went for her weapon, but anyone would given how great he was! He did have a combat knife on each hip, it was only natural given this place to be armed and ready to use your weapons.

Black★Star thought he was forgetting something, but he couldn't place what. Ah, it probably doesn't matter.

Assassin. She wanted to question him, but she couldn't help but think, it figured he would be something like that. After all Tantalus had never been just a troupe of actors...

But she pushed that thought aside for the moment. He certainly was a bit full of himself, but he seemed so happy about the whole thing, that Garnet couldn't quite bring herself to be irritated.

It also probably helped that she was still riding that initial high of being in a real theater, after all this time.

"Do you come here often?" she asked, though her eyes looked everywhere but at him, taking in the seating, the stage, the elaborate lighting What still worked, anyway...
