Paint the Sky with Stars: R.I.P.

Guest

Someone lifted up Andromeda in strong arms and she was soon looking near six feet higher. "do you see what you're looking for now Meda?" Lupus asked using his pet name for her while smiling up at her. he had picked her up on his shoulders. he was a rather playful star, despite being a loner.

"Nope." She smiled, "And trust me, that's a good thing." She grinned brightly, but the weakness in her eyes was evident, "I saw Hydrus earlier and I was making sure I lost him."

Guest

"oh him? i just got done dropp kicking him to the east side" he said laughing. he saw the weakness in her eyes. "you look like you need some star bites" he said kindly as he looked up at her.

"I've been here twenty years. I'm running on empty." She sighed.

Draco was on the same street as Andromeda. He was leaning against a lamppost, one hand in his pocket and his other balled up into a fist, holding something glowing orange, just staring at her. He grinned as he muttered something. His grin slowly disappeared as he heard something no one else could here.

Guest

Lupus opened up a pouch on his hip, inside were some very colorful things that resembled rock candy, but where shaped like stars, star bites. he held some up to her. "this will perk you right up" he said popping them in her mouth. they tasted like candy, but added a month to the time they could last on earth for each one eaten.

Andromeda smiled, "Thanks." She breathed, relieved that she could last a while longer. She looked over the people again, about to climb down, when she frowned, "Is that Draco?"

Guest

Lupus sighed. "yeah looks like it. i don't feel like a fight right now so let's just go" he said pushing her up and catching her in his arms bridal style. "any place in particular you want to go?" he asked smiling down at her now.

Guest

Draco watched them and frowned. He could hear them from where he was. His hand released dropping a small fire to the ground where it stayed lit still. The fire spread out about a foot and turned into a shape that you couldn't make out from anyone was.

Gemini laid in a cold alley, barely breathing and a huge pool of water surrounded her. Every once in a while she would heave in a long, drawn out breath and cough out water. She wasn't dry-drowning, as one may assume, she was just drained of energy. She only had a few hours left to live.

Andromeda shrugged, "Nowhere. I've seen it all before. Either from a star's-eye-view, or from down here. It hasn't been too interesting." she tested her legs on the ground, then stood, "I can feel another star here. Gosh, I'd been here twenty years and never seen any other stars, but all of a sudden, it's like they are all in one place."

Guest

Jason smirked. "yeah that seems to be how it always is. we should find this other star fast. i can feel her life force fadding" he said with a frown.

Andromeda nodded, then closed her eyes as the people around them suddenly began running to the other side of the street. When she opened them, Gemini and Draco were the only ones left there. Andromeda smiled, "I made them all think that there were free hot dogs on the other side of the street."

Guest

Jason smirked at Andromeda. "very nice trick. just no tricking me into stuff okay?" he asked chuckling to himself. he looked at gemini and walked to her. He looked at the water. "you look a bit out of it" he said pointing out the very obvious.

Gemini coughed out more water, which was supposed to be a cursing and the words "Yeah, obviously smart alec."

Guest

Jason took some star bites from his pocket, only three, and dropped them in her mouth. "swallow those and yu'll feel better" He said simply.

Gemini sat up, slowly and tiredly. She coughed some more, but not water, just air.
"Thanks..."
She pushed her arms out, palms open and absorbed the water around herself."

Andromeda helped Gemini to her feet, "How long have you been here?" Her voice was incredulous. She had never felt Gemini's presence, so either she hadn't been there long, or they just hadn't gotten clos to each other.

"A week or two maybe. I've not been counting days."
Gemini sucked in a deep breath and exhaled. She wasn't used to Earth, not in the least.

"Then how did you run our of energy so fast?" Andromeda marveled, then realized, it was because her brother wasn't there. She was missing her other half.

"Well, I have a brother. We need each other to survive. He's...still up there. He was the last person to see me in the sky, he's actually trying to come down here. I don't want him to, but he is."

Subject: Re: Paint the Sky with Stars: R.I.P. Fri Dec 26, 2008 11:13 pm

Andromeda nodded, "I've been trying to get back for twenty years. Cassiopeia is trying to hide the fact that I'm gone from Hydrus, but he's come anyway."

Gemini nodded.
"Well, my entire family is with Hydrus...I've just, not decided...nor has my brother."
Gemini felt the resent they would feel towards her once they heard her words.

Guest

Lupus watched her. "well i can tell you right now hydrus is a jerk and a relatively weak one on earth." he said crossing his arms. he was full of himself at times, but usually he kept out of it.

Andromeda nodded, "He and Hydra aren't good company to fall into."
