[Rena looks like she's ready for a picnic--she has her white dress on, complete with beret, and has brought a picnic basket. This is more than that, though: this is an adventure! Or at least a long walk.

Picking a direction, Rena begins walking; she wants to know how big the astral plane is, and what better way than to, well, walk until she finds the end or gets tired?

She's brought more than enough food, and she's willing to share and happy to have company on her walk!]

Are there a lot of Saints?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

There are only eighty-eight Saints total. Each of use has a constellation that protects us.

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

That's a lot! Which constellation is yours?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Andromeda

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

What's it look like? Is it cute~? Can you see it here? There are a lot of stars here, there are!

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Well...my constellation is from the myth of Princess Andromeda who was suppose to be sacrificed to save her people from a sea monster, so that's what it looks like. As to finding it [Looks around for a bit] I'm not sure I can here. The stars don't look the same as they do back home. I can find all the constellations there.

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

That's too bad. I'll see if I can find it back home tonight! Can you see it from Japan?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

You should be able too. It will be easier to see if you can go to some place where they're aren't a lot of lights. It's hard to see stars from the middle of a city.

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

Hinamizawa is a good place to see stars! I'll go stand on the hill by the shrine and find Andromeda!

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you'll be able to find Andromeda. You're lucky you live in a place you can see stars from. I kind of missing being able to lay back at night and see all the beautiful stars over head. At least I can do that while I'm here.

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't want to live in a big city. I'm going to stay in Hinamizawa forever!

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

You really like living in Hinamizawa, don't you?

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

Mmmhmm! I lived somewhere else for a while... [frown; she's silent for a while] But then I came back.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Somewhere else hmm? Where else did you live?

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

Ah... The Ibaraki prefecture... [she's gotten quieter, less cheerful]

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Shun notices the change and frowns slightly] Is something wrong Rena?

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

[her eyes are distant] I should have never left Hinamizawa, I shouldn't have...

[And she brightens, offering a smile.] But now that I'm living there again it's okay!

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Smiles back. He recognizes that look in her eyes. He has things he would rather not remember too.] That's good. I'm sure you're friends are glad you're back too.

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

[nod] Hinamizawa is so nice. Everyone looks out for each other.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you have people like that around you. It seems easier to get through things when you aren't alone.

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

That's what friends are for!

...The astral plane really is big, isn't it?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

It's apparently very big. Hard to tell how far we've walked since there aren't any landmarks but I can tell we've walked pretty far. Are you okay Rena? You aren't tired or anything are you?

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

I'm okay! I guess this is going to take longer than I thought...

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

We have time though, since time doesn't seem to pass in our worlds while we're here.

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

That's good! Otherwise I might miss school~!

How does the astral plane work, I wonder, I wonder?
