[Mu is wearing his cloth as he wanders through the fields of tiny stars. He seems fascinated by how their light reflects against Aries, not to mention terribly amused at their very presence if the small smile on his face is any indication. He eventually kneels to pick one up and studies it from all angles. It has been a very long time since he'd ever made a wish - they never came true for him anyways. But holding this little star, he feels it's the right thing to do here. It's a wish he doesn't think will ever come true, but he can't help but make it.

Mu closes his eyes for a few heartbeats worth of time before the star explodes into the golden dust, which he watches fall, passively, into the plane and disappearing.]

How strange. Lovely, but strange.

[It has been a long time since this place has seemed so...peaceful to him, and Mu soon finds himself continuing to wander about, lost in thought]

[Was that a sound of another exploding star across the Plane? ...Well, sort of, more the sound of a inwards breath from Emilia but it still counts.

She glances across at Mu after a little while and frowns slightly; arching a eyebrow as she takes him in]

...Ye think it strangeness too?

[lamb_of_gold]

Strange is what I've come to expect from this place.

[yetiwillspeak.livejournal.com]

Ye hast been here many moons? Aye, doth ye know if this ever becomes but a dream?

[lamb_of_gold]

Twenty-four or so, and I assure you it is very real.

[yetiwillspeak.livejournal.com]

Aye, so long and time still stands- in troth I cannot deny it.

...Dost these stars come often?

[lamb_of_gold]

This is the first I've seen of them.

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

I wonder why it did that.

[lamb_of_gold]

It exploded after I made a wish.

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

Oh! That's wonderful. Your wish will come true.

[lamb_of_gold]

I certainly hope so.

[yetiwillspeak.livejournal.com]

Aye.

They doth not burn; there could be worse.

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

It disappeared, so it must. [his conviction is almost concerningly unshakeable] Can you make another wish?

[lamb_of_gold]

Perhaps. [Mu bends to take another, but the second his fingers close around it, the chosen star bursts] Or perhaps not.

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

I'll have to choose my wish wisely, then.

[lamb_of_gold]

If it's something you truly want, then you shouldn't need to think on what you wish for.

[lamb_of_gold]

There has been worse, believe me.

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

Yes, but they always say to be careful what you wish for. I might accidentally wish all my family away.

[lamb_of_gold]

I don't think it's possible to regret a wish you truly mean.

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

I hope not.

[he picks up one of the stars, admiring it for a bit]

[yetiwillspeak.livejournal.com]

...How strangely curs'd. Tell me, what hast ye seen?

[lamb_of_gold]

Reality devouring monsters, creatures that seemed human but weren't, people from home vanishing...

[lamb_of_gold]

[Mu watches, silently]

[Sebastian looks at it for a moment, then closes his eyes and blows on the star. As he does, it turns into gold dust. He opens his eyes with a smile]

There! That's done, then. Only I won't be able to pick them up anymore. I wonder if Aloysius can make his own wish.

[lamb_of_gold]

Perhaps he should try.

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

[Sebastian sets Aloysius down by one of the stars, and the bear tiiiips over as gravity is prone to make things do, brushing against the star]

I suppose he does get his own! Mustn't rush him, though. He needs the chance to decide.

[he picks his bear up]
