{ announcer :: Welcome to another episode of Shooting Star.



{ announcer :: Today, we set our sights on Busan, home of the e-sports champion turn ace pilot D.Va. I play to win!



{ announcer :: At just 19 she's become a national hero. Only last week she risked her life again defending the city from the Kishin Omnics. She and the MEKA squad took a few hits, but they pulled off another victory!



{ announcer :: Now D.Va is celebrating with some hard earned glitz and glamor...



{ tae-hyung :: Hey ----, shouldn't you be out signing autographs or something? Hn, I wonder what glitz and glamor taste like... hey! why aren't we on leave with the rest of the squad? I could use a little glitz and glamor in my life, y'know?

{ meka :: It's overrated Tae-Hyung. This... this is where the magic happens! It's like how we used to stay up late and work on your hover bike.



{ tae-hyung :: Ha, you mean the one you wrecked?

{ meka :: Really? You still made about that? We won the race.



{ tae-hyung :: Yeah, and you almost killed yourself! ...sigh, you beat the Kishin. They wont be back for months. Take a break.




{ meka :: ** STILL VERY CLEARLY SHOOK **

{ tae-hyun :: The last one's heading for the city!



{ d.va :: I'm on it.

{ d.va :: Come oooon.





{ d.va :: I can't stop this thing... Tae-hyun, I- I need your help.

{ tae-hyun :: R- Really? O- O- Okay! Okay, the reactor's getting unstable, so you can't stay out there for too long or you'll blow the whole thing. Weapon systems are offline and the cooling systems-



{ d.va :: Yeah, the reactor... we could overload it, just like the hover bike.

{ tae-hyun :: What?! Are you crazy!? This isn't a STUPID race!

{ d.va :: I know. If we don't do this... thousands of people will die!

{ tae-hyun :: ...ok. Buy me some time!

{ d.va :: Let's do this!



{ tae-hyun :: I got it! The reactor's going critical. You have 60 seconds until it blows.

{ d.va :: That's not fast enough! It'll be in the city!





{ tae-hyun :: Uhhhh... ---???



{ d.va :: Trust me, Tae-hyun... I'll see you at the finish line.

{ setting :: It's one of, if not the, first mission that she's gone on with the squad. She's run a bunch of training sims with them, since MEKA had to ensure they meshed well, but this is the real deal... and it seems to have taken a toll on D.Va. As soon as the dust settles and all of the omnics have been taken care of she ejects herself out of Tokki and crumples to the ground, holding herself as she tries ( and fails ) to get a grip.

{ d.mon :: [ she goes rushing over to see if she's alright. ] ████! ████!! Where are you hurt? ███... █...

{ d.va :: [ and she's not. d.va is trembling and hyperventilating and she's just a fucken mess. tears are streaming along her face, but she grits her teeth to keep from choking on anymore sobs. she is not ok. t- this is not ok. ]

{ d.mon :: A panic attack. ████, it's over, breath slowly... [ she takes d.va's hand and pulls her closely ( protectively ) in an attempt to calm her down. ] Oh no. The Vultures are already here. They can't see her like this! Quick... do something... anything!! [ d.mon scoops d.va up into her arms and rises from the ashes. ] tch. Looks like our D.Va is in need of a princess carry! ah, [ said loudly, though her voice drops immediately after. ] Help me. [ again, she raises her voice, ] I'll be sure to make her pay for that! [ and then it drops once more. ] I can't convince them alone. Help... me...


{ d.va :: [ she's still freaking out, but she manages to throw up a peace sign, which seems to be just enough to placate the crowd. ]

{ journalist :: Another victory for the MEKA squad. D.Va and D.Mon are heading to the rest of their team to celebrate!

{ d.mon :: Let's get out of here. [ a scoff, ] I wish, but you're blocking the way! Idiots! [ with d.va in her arms she runs off... into the night...!!! ]


{ two hours later.

{ setting :: D.Va and D.Mon are watching the recap on TV.

{ d.va :: Aaaah ♥♥♥! D.Mon so classy!! Wish that were me!!! Oh, wait, it was me!!!! You can't pretend you don't know how to act after that, what a performance!

{ d.mon :: Ugh, ...I still can't believe they bought that... [ ... ] I'm not sure they'll believe it next time...

{ d.va :: There won't be a next time. Don't worry. [ she speaks softly, reaching for d.mon's hand as she flashes her a grateful smile. ] But still... it's nice to know I can count on you in case of an emergency. Well, I've always known I could ♥! You're the best, ████ ♥♥♥.

{ d.mon :: Nah, we are. [ AND THEN SNUGGLES. ]

{ ♕ GAME START.

{ meka squad casino, d.mon, d.va, king, & overlord ::

{ omnics 1, 2, & 3 ::

[ this memory starts off in the thick of a fight against the omnics, and it looks like the robotic bastards have made it to the edge of the city and, surprise, that's not good. ]

[ sirens scream, calling for an evacuation of the immediate area as a few of the nearby buildings crumble to some cannon fire. overlord, having been perched atop one of them, stifles a curse as he relocates. his drones are still flitting about, so he can continue to relay information ( specifically omnic positions near & far ) to d.mon and the rest of the squad, buuuut it looks like they're being targ- and down goes one, two, three, and four. this time he doesn't even bother to keep from cursing! ]

[ d.mon, from on the ground, chuckles in spite of the situation, as do a few others. her suit is blaring warnings left and right, because this is broken and that is busted, but before she even realizes what's happening she's getting tossed like a ragdoll into an adjacent building. d.va cries out, muting her mic as she slowly, but surely starts to lose her cool. casino helps her drive back the omnics attempting to encroach on their fallen friend as king does the same, providing cover fire from up above. ]

[ as the fight continues; however, things just go from bad to worse, and by the end d.va is the only one that's still got a functioning mech. ]

[ "functioning". ]

[ the moment the dust settles she's ejecting out and rushing toward the mech embedded in the wall. from behind casino screams her name, a thought-to-be fallen omnic seizing her by the shoulder with one of its metal tendrils, reeling her in, as it pops its hood and readies a missile. ] Jojdwaess-eo... [ she shouldn't have left her mech without her lightgun. digging her heels in she tries to tear it out, but it's no use. ]

[ the next minute she's on her back and her ears are ringing... and the minute after that someone ( she's not sure who ) is hovering over her and pressing their hands into her shoulder, their muffled shouting making her head hurt tenfold. ]

[ when she comes to she's somewhat patched up, as are her squadmates, and they're being congratulated for taking care of the omnic threat, though it had been a close call. not bad for their second mission, but they'll need to do better, because next time... well, there might not be a next time. d.va experimentally sets a hand to her chest, wincing, but then looks at the others. ]

I don't know about you guys, but I am more than ready to spend the rest of the night in with some take out and a few drinks. [ d.mon says, and injuries aside they all manage to kind of sort of laugh. ]

{ ♕ QUALITY TIME.

{ d.va :: [ she grabs a hold of a plush pink rabbit as she's tucked into bed, murmuring something to her parents as she drifts to sleep, ] 좋은 꿈 꿔. [ but as soon as the both of them leave the room and shut the door she throws off the sheets and hops out of bed. she turns back to the rabbit and brings a finger up to her lips to signal for it to shush. ] ...ok, this is like a stealth mission, so remember to be reeeeal quiet.

[ she grabs a blanket and pulls it over her head, so she can tie it under her chin like a cape. grabbing her rabbit companion she heads for the door to listen for any and all movement. ]

...good, nothing. [ pulling the door open she slips into the hall and looks toward the living room, because she hears her parents talking. ] Quick, the coast is clear.

[ she creeps into her father's office and closes the door, setting her rabbit on the floor to keep watch, so she can head to the computer and turn it on. ] Ack!?! [ she grabs at the speakers trying to muffle the sound of the startup, because she hadn't been expecting it to be SO FREAKING LOUD. it doesn't seem to have caught the attention of her parents, but she's still quick to turn it all the way down, only logging into her game afterward. ]

[ she starts playing and, to no one's surprise, she gets really into it. a few hours later and she misses the door creaking open and her father coming up behind her. ]

{ dad :: It looks like you're running out of resources. [ ... ] Oh, and watch your six, because you're about to get flanked.

{ d.va :: I knoooow. [ huffs. ] But he's camping, hard, and I don't know what... to... 오 아니. [ eep. ]

{ dad :: You know you're up way past your bedtime, right?

{ d.va :: 예...

{ dad :: [ instead of scooping her up and bringing her back to her room he scoops her up, takes a seat, and puts her in his lap. ] Let me help you out a little bit.

{ d.va :: [ she squeals with delight, handing over the controls to watch him swiftly turn the tables on her opponent. ] 허리 엉덩이 만세 !!!
