[Lore Posting Activated] >>> Begin story telling for "Stardust Crossing". [Good Luck SC-009]
I mostly focus on trying to create expressive pieces that vary between pinup erotica and outright smut.
![AI art '20 Questions With Sweetheart ❤️' with user description '[The 20Q series continues with our 2nd interview. If you have any questions for Sweetheart drop them in the comments and she'll answer them! You can also request to be tagged when I post each new Q and A.]
> = Interviewer
S: = Sweetheart
---
> Welcome back to the Midnight Hour, I'm your host Johnny Rocket and we've got another great interview for you with a remarkable Stardust Crossing local. Young lady, please introduce yourself.
S: Young lady, hmm? Hardly. My name is Valerie Estarosa, but please call me Sweetheart.
> A pet name already? We've only just meet.
S: No no, nothing like that. Its just a nickname.
> So everyone calls you Sweetheart?
S: Well, my friend Runie usually calls me Sweetie. Star and Lady have picked it up as well. I don't mind it.
> Do you have a particular reason for it?
S: Do I need one? It feels nice to be called that.
> Can't argue with that. Tell me then Sweetheart, what do you do for a living?
S: I'm still studying at the community college, but I work part time at the juice bar by the beach. Bartending usually, but I've waited tables before.
> Do you have a specialty?
S: Sex on the beach.
> Oh, the drink, right?
S: That too, I suppose. *laughs*. No, seriously, my Cosmos are popular. I get compliments.
> Starting off feisty tonight I see. Well now, lets move to the next question. What do you do on your day's off?
S: I get days off? *laughs* Ummm... usually I'm doing club activities. I'm the president of the college's occult club. Despite the name, we mostly do scary movie nights or help the local monster girls find a rental that suits their needs. We used to do ghost walks, but uh... that felt kinda awkward after the ghost girl joined the club.
> We do have some very interesting residents in town, that's true. Its why we do this show. Maybe you can send that ghost girl our way for a future episode?
S: No promises.
> Well, before I get my hopes up, lets press on to the next question. What sort of tunes do you like?
S: A little bit of everything, honestly. I'm not too picky. If it sounds good, I like it. If it doesn't, I don't. Simple as.
> How about a favorite food?
S: Cheese. Anything with cheese. Pasta too. But I have to watch my carbs. Especially working the beach on the summer. You know they make us wear our bikini's as our uniform right?
> I'd say that's why they're such a hot spot, in more ways than one.
S: Yes, and I'd like it to stay that way. So my diet remains, unfortunately.
> I'm sure your patrons are thankful for your efforts. I'd sa-
S: *cuts in* You hear that? I expect tips for my trouble. I'll be there Wednesday and Friday night this week.
> *laughs* Okay listeners, get out there and give the juice bar, and our lovely guest, your support. This is not a paid promotion, just so we're clear.
S: It should be.
> Let's get back to business before my manager calls. Favorite place to hang out?
S: The city, at night. There's something magical about the city after most of the busybodies are gone. Especially if the aurora is out. But I swear, Star has been slacking lately. Vega's a bad influence.
> My manager tells me we're going to go over time, so lets hit a few rapid fire questions. Do you have any special skills?
S: I've picked up a lot of... I dunno, random trivia? I'm good at game show questions. *laughs*
> Any pets?
S: I had a tomagachi once. Poor thing didnt make it.
> What sort of place is your home like?
S: I live in a small apartment. Its a little old but its refurbished recently.
> Who's your bestie?
S: Runie, obviously. We go way back.
> Anyone who gets on your last nerve?
S: Something about the way Lady says "Sweetie"... it always sounds a little condescending.
> Anything you're particularly afraid of?
S: A slow life. Its too short, we gotta keep moving.
> Any life goals?
S: Not really. I dont think too far ahead.
> Live for the moment, huh? I think we all do that to some degree. What's your ideal date?
S: A shopping spree. I need someone to carry my bags. *laughs*
> Anywhere you'd like to vacation?
S: Somewhere in Europe probably. I hear you can country hop pretty easily. Something new everyday sounds fun.
> And speaking of fun, any particular sexy fantasies?
S: You always ask this huh?
> What can I say, the people are curious.
S: I think doing it somewhere you can get caught is kinda hot. The riskier the better. I get a little restless at work thinking about it sometimes.
> Oh my, that is spicy.
S: *shrugs* Isnt that kinda normal?
> Well...
S: *snickers*
> *Clears throat* Well, we're almost out of time. Lets wrap it up. Do you have a secret not even your friends know?
S: I... Know something. I remember the world before.
> What do you mean by that?
S: ... nothing.
> Alright... Last one, have you ever wished upon a star? And if so, what did you wish for?
S: That the city was as interesting and strange as I had always imagined.'](https://imgproxy-prod-ovmn5ne2aa-ue.a.run.app/1nEDhpEqIK2-f6nT18FuRZRe6umyPYrSw7obkx3YhGA/resize:fit:3840:0/quality:60/sharpen:0.5/plain/s3://betterwaifu/ccd6251e-97f0-4868-b3db-56efc69ba5bc/KyUgt0UM6J7OC6je5xfN.webp@webp)
![AI art 'Aftershocks [Stardust Crossing - Episode 2]' with user description 'Runie had spent most of her day with a growing sense of unease. Something had woken her up in the middle of the night. A voice, of some kind. She thought at first that someone was shouting outside her dorm room or worse, outside the window. But as she looked around the dark room, all was quiet. Even Gooey was sound asleep, and the little slime would jump at any little thing.
To be honest, it had felt like something was wrong for a little over two weeks now. She had felt the star again that night, that strange light in the sky that felt so important though she couldn't say why. It appeared every so often, just another part of living in this weird and wonderful city. But it never felt… wrong before. That nagging feeling had kept her from focusing on her studies and that was perhaps a bigger problem than her sleep schedule. That quiz in Arcane Metallurgy wasn't going to pass itself even if she could enchant the pencil.
Then the whispered voice hit her dreams like an ASMR line beamed directly into her head. There was only one thing to do at a time like this and that was call the old Andromeda High School Occult Club President, Valerie. Though, she went by a nickname these days.
Sweetheart picked up before the first ring even finished. “You heard it too?”
Runie paused. That confirmed her suspicions, but raised several more questions.
“The voice? The other night. I can't get it out of my head, I was just about to call you about it.”
“So we both heard it. Do you think everyone did or just us?,” Runie said, her voice low and trembling just a bit from her nerves.
“I don't hear anyone freaking out next door, at least. Given how calm it is outside, I’d wager only some people could hear it.”
Runie turned her ears to the world outside her dorm room, but the night was quiet. “Good point. Umm… what did it say to you?”
Sweetheart was quiet for a moment. “It said… ‘Can you hear me?’, plain as day. You heard the same words?”
Runie affirmed that she had. They went over a few more details until they were satisfied their stories aligned. It reminded Runie of their high school days, before they went off to separate colleges.
“So, what do we do about it?”
Sweetheart laughed softly to herself. “What else? Meet up tomorrow at the park and we start investigating. Consider the case of the Midnight Voice officially open.”

SC-009 watched Subject 002 pace around her bedroom on the thermal cam while her audio bug tapped the entire phone call. This was interesting. 001 and 002 knew each other. That wasn't in the briefing, which meant it was either a new development (unlikely, given the familiar tone of the call) or the briefing was missing intel.
She added this development to her notes, but frowned as she wound up staring at the transcript of the call. ‘Can you hear me?’
They heard it too. The Subjects known to be under the effect of this site’s anomaly. Did that mean she was already under its spell too?
She tapped her pen against the page as she mulled her options. The anxiety was still an unfamiliar feeling and it made these choices harder than they needed to be. Her training said to ask for more intel. Her operation guide said to proceed as planned and report the incident, which she still hadn't done. Because her heart was telling her she had to talk to these two. She was scheduled to watch Subject 003 tomorrow. It would have to wait, she’d be paying the park a visit.
+++
SC-009 watched the two Subjects approach from the discreet location of a nearby park bench. She had extrapolated the most likely spot in the park for the two of to meet, judging by their respective routes to get here from their homes, and was pleased that she had picked a spot to stake out close enough to spot them meeting.
Subject 001 and Subject 002. Or, rather, Runie Caldwell and Valerie "Sweetheart" Estarosa. In some ways, those two were where the entire investigation began. Their interaction with the wishing star was simply too big to ignore.
She watched the two girls carefully from her safe distance, looking for a good opportunity to approach them without being too suspicious. The two were here to interview passerbys after all, to see if anyone else heard the strange voice. It would be best to let them start interviewing, then approach a few minutes later after they had talked to a few people.
"I know why you're here~" a jubilant voice teased from behind her.
SC-009 didnt jump. Her nerves were stronger than that. She turned slowly, regarding to newcomer curiously even though she already recognized the voice.
Subject 005, Vega Astrid, stood behind her in her full fortune teller costume, a knowing smile on her lips and her finger raised teasingly.
SC replied calmly, "Did you predict this with your gift?"
Vega's smile didn't budge. "You could say that. You want to go talk to those two over there. But that wont be necessary. Because I heard the voice too, and I know what it means."'](https://imgproxy-prod-ovmn5ne2aa-ue.a.run.app/kmTmAFDdHP02hNDFw6QicIvXHspBoBgSZFGr2o6qHAs/resize:fit:3840:0/quality:60/sharpen:0.5/plain/s3://betterwaifu/ccd6251e-97f0-4868-b3db-56efc69ba5bc/dqTa7pujfqYRZ7uYTpzk.webp@webp)
