Description
I LIIIIIIIIIIVE..... AGAIN!I'm sorry for the disappearing act everyone. I lost my phone and couldn't access DA, so I couldn't upload. I apologise even more to those I was I'm the middle of a conversation with. But I got it back and I'm ready to get back into it!
But anyway, here's the bio of the new characters!
Name: Atka
Height: 10,644.6 kilometers (MAX.)
1.3 meters (MIN.)
Age: 11 (Appearance)
11.9 billion years (Actual)
Abilities: Size shift, Soul Sight, Able to breathe in space, telepathy, impossible strength and durability (Although still very strong and resilient, both powers are severely weakened in his small form), and flight (Exclusive to any size above 80').
Personality: Kind, gentle, and a protective guardian of all. He knows that in his natural size, he can cause major destruction if he isn’t careful, as most, if not all of the “Small people” (his collective name to civilized creatures on alien worlds) are very fragile and need to be protected. As such, he is always careful with life and planets. He never touches them in his full form if they harbor life.
His main defining trait, however is his ceaseless curiosity. Whenever he goes to a new world, he explores every inch of it that he can. He loves meeting new people and learning about them. He does try to keep his true power hidden from most civilizations that he meets, since he doesn't want to be treated with fear like a dictator or be worshipped like a god, since he's neither of those. Many planets have dubbed him as something along the lines of "The Star Spirit".
Appearance: Atka is a colossal, cream-skinned young boy that has animal-like features. His hair is soft and wild. His ears are long, fluffy, and the same color as his hair, which is bright blond. The edges of his hair and tips of his ears are red-orange, same with the fluffy tip of his very long tail. His shirt is orange with white edges and accents. An intricate design is on the centerline, all capped off with a small, red, robe-like t-shirt underneath the orange one.
He has arm, tail, and leg bands that are made of packed obsidian, each of which has rhodite lining the ends. They also have intricate orange patterns designed into it, made with sunstone. His shorts are simple black ones, with the edges of the shorts’ legs being yellow.
His eyes are completely white, giving off a soft glow whenever it’s dark. His teeth are mostly humanlike and pure white, the only difference being that they’re a slight bit sharper. His tongue and inside parts of his body are inky black in hue, but due to the extremely powerful chemicals in his stomach, an orange-yellow glow comes up from the back of his throat, illuminating his mouth when he yawns or simply has his mouth wide open. You’ll really only see the inside of his mouth when he’s eating or yawning, as he mostly talks to people through telepathy.
Another reason for not seeing the inside of his mouth is that the heat from his stomach reaches his mouth, making it excruciatingly hot. It's hot enough to melt many metals into their liquid state.
Additional Info: The largest he can grow without changing back into his Celestial form is roughly 268 meters. This is helpful for when he needs to get around a planet quickly without alerting anyone that lives there. He can grow to any size in between that midpoint and his minimum as well. His supernatural power of strength grows with him as he gets smaller or larger depending on his size. At his smallest, he's as strong as an adult man. At his midpoint he can pick up and move entire hillsides without breaking a sweat. And when he's at his max, he can move entire planets without much fuss.
He doesn’t eat organic matter as we do on Earth. The only things that he eats on a regular basis are space stones, like asteroids or meteors, and metals, like iron or nickel. His teeth are the strongest known material in the galaxy, able to easily crunch through the minerals he consumes with the added strength of his jaws. If he gets hungry enough, he might find a dwarf planet, a large asteroid, or maybe even an entire moon and stay near it, eating it over an undetermined period of time. This doesn’t happen very often though, as the longest he can go without getting mildly hungry in his large size is about two months.
It is important to note that his body, inside and out is impervious to fire. His stomach is able to digest and melt any metal in the known universe, as the chemicals inside his stomach burn intensely hot. His throat and stomach walls are extremely well insulated, but the heat does still spread to the rest of his body if he wants it to. When he wants his mouth to heat up, he closes it and opens up a special, translucent organ lining his esophagus, allowing the full heat of his stomach to flood into his mouth, making his mouth roughly 4,300 degrees within. When that organ is closed and all the heat stays within, his stomach heats up to 7,560 degrees and his mouth cools to rest at 110 degrees.
His stomach can withstand anything put into it, like the molten lava inside many things that he eats. Despite him being able to stomach the core of a moon, he does have a code on what he doesn’t eat.
He refuses to eat:
Life-bearing planets
Moons/orbiting bodies of life-bearing planets
Celestial bodies crucial to the survival of life-bearing planets
Celestial bodies that have the potential for life on it.
Animal meat (animals make him sick to his stomach, as he feels terrible harming something conscious. Plants, non-meat animal products, and artificial foods he can eat, though)
Aside from his dietary info, his occupation is unique. He’s appointed himself as the protector of the milky way galaxy and all life within it (Some civilizations consider this ironic since his diet consists of structures inside the galaxy). He defends life from meteor impacts, volcanic winters, interstellar raiders/dangerously powerful local wars, and once, even a black hole.
The civilizations he protects usually thank him with gifts. This is how he discovered that his favorite food in the entire galaxy is gold, as many planets give it as thanks. This makes him a bit dangerous to rings or other jewelry that has the precious metal in it, since to his unique taste buds, pure gold tastes like caramel coated milk chocolate.
Name: Rosa Vasquez
Height: 5’ 10’’
Age: 42
Trades: Astronomy, engineering, gemology, and microbiology
Personality: No nonsense, very rational and intellectual, yet empathetic and loving (In a tough-love kind of way). She can be cold, but she can also be the sweetest woman you’ve met.
Appearance: Rosa is a thin, middle-aged Hispanic woman with curly black salt and pepper hair and a slight addiction to coffee. She most often wears her black lab coat around the lunar base in which she works. When off work, she can be seen in dark blue and green clothes wearing jewelry more than what she wears at work.
Rosa has a young daughter that lives in a separate part on the moon base, and her name is Chloe Vasquez. The two have a strong bond and spend as much time together as possible. Chloe lives a life of luxury on the moon, shared with her mother and their little, grey Scottish terrier, Haggis.
Additional info: The primary reason that Rosa, along with everyone else on the moon, is on the moon, is because of Rosa herself. She’s considered to be one of the smartest people of our time. She invented a 99.9% efficient, portable way to purify CO2 back into Oxygen. This simple advancement made millions of peoples’ jobs easier as divers could now stay underwater for longer and catch more fish. Doctors can more easily help patients breathe. The use that the National Space Agency was most interested in was the possibility of long-term interplanetary travel
At first, Rosa scoffed at this idea. She had designed it to be used on Earth for Earth-related things. However, the more and more she reviewed her work, the more intrigued she became. She used her many different trades to sketch out the blueprints of a massive lunar colony, being visible as a dot on the moon from Earth. And when a scale model was constructed, tested, and proven successful, Rosa and her daughter were guaranteed a spot on the first successful Lunar colony. The colony they’re on is actually named after Rosa, being called Rosa-1.
How they met:
It was a normal day for Atka. He had just finished eating a large asteroid that was causing a sizeable amount of worry on a planet nearby. He enjoys doing this, since it doesn’t just get rid of a big threat to life, but it also gives him something to eat! After the people of the planet thanked him, he left and went to his very own, personal, sleeping planetoid.
This planet was entirely smooth on the surface, with the only life on it being a soft, lush, grass-like plant that made it comfortable for him to sleep on. It was made by a highly advanced civilization that he saved from self-destruction, making it extra personal to him. He doesn’t get visitors here often since it’s relatively far from most inhabited planets. This is where he goes most days when he wants to relax on a solid surface, as it comes without the risk of crushing cities as he lays down.
However, today was not like most days. Just as he was laying down to let his stomach take care of the no-longer threatening asteroid, he felt something. Something faint, yet extremely powerful. He couldn’t tell what it was, as it had never been felt before. It was like a massive burst of energy, but not just any energy. Soul energy.
He lifted his head up and gazed in the direction the blast came from. He could tell the direction it came from, but it was so far away from where he was, that he couldn’t tell the exact distance. He pouted for a split second, knowing that his self-appointed responsibility pressured him into investigating it. He sat up and stretched, yawning away the small amount of coziness that he had, and flew off in the direction of this energy blast. It could take a while, but he was sure that he’d make it. He probably won’t need anything to eat, as it must’ve been at most a few lightyears away due to how strong it is, so he won’t pack any food.
Back on Earth, the source of the blast is quite clear. The event that caused the massive energy burst was an experiment done by Dr. Artz, including a ring that took several million creatures from other worlds and plopped them into this one via interdimensional tampering (Read Lukas's bio for a more in depth look at this). It was powerful enough to be pinged on the moon’s lunar colony, Rosa-1. And the namesake of the colony, Rosa Vasquez, is hard at work studying the effects this had on Earth and the magnetic field around it. It was similar to a solar flare, disrupting all electronics on Earth for fifteen minutes. It was so powerful that the Northern lights had been triggered.
Pressured by the governments of the world, Rosa kept hard at work, studying, analyzing, and recording information on this experiment. It was out of her field of expertise, but the world didn’t care. It wanted a reason as to why this happened and how it might be fixed. So she kept at work, for a very long time.
-----
Ten months pass, and Atka is still traveling to his destination. He hadn't eaten anything the entire trip, and he was getting impatient. He had kept up the pace of flying for so long, that it became almost unnoticeable when he passed another star, another planet, another moon. He was less focused on the task of flying to wherever he was going and more focused on how famished he was. His stomach growled with the strength and intensity of an earthquake, begging for food. He hated to admit it, but he needed to halt his progress and take a break, a pit stop to refuel if you will.
He reached a relatively unimpressive moon. It was decently sized, enough to fill him up once he’d eaten it. He saw the planet it orbited, but he was too hungry to care enough to give a second glance at it and check if it had life. He turned and faced the moon once again, his stomach growled, ready for the incoming meal. His mouth was watering in anticipation. He spent a few seconds looking for the best angle to bite into it from. Once he found it, he carefully grasped both sides of the moon and licked his lips. He closed his eyes and opened his mouth, ready to chow down on this unremarkable satellite.
On the moon’s surface, however, it wasn’t as much of a “careful grasp” as it was “an entire moon shaking beneath your feet.” Rosa was heavily affected by this, as she was walking down a hall with a cup of coffee in her hands. When the ground started shaking, she almost spilled it all over herself. She dashed out into the main hub of the moon’s colony and froze, letting the coffee spill all over the floor as she did.
In front of her was a gargantuan face of a young boy. He looked no older than 9, I but that wasn’t what really mattered. He seemed to be looking at their base, but it was hard to tell due to him having pure white eyes. He seemed to be inspecting not the base, but the moon, as he moved his head side to side, up and down. However, she gazed in horror at what he did next.
The young colossus outside licked his lips, closed his glowing white eyes and opened his mouth. She stared into a massive maw that was bigger than the entire state of New York. She looked with even greater fear and panic than she had felt a moment before. The boy’s mountain-sized teeth were whiter than the shiniest pearls. They would've been admirable if they weren't about to close around her. His innards were pitch black, but an orange glow from the recesses of his throat lit up the horror and details inside the drooling cavern. The temperature around her began to increase, all coming from the boy's mouth, which still got closer and closer.
Rosa knew that she wouldn’t be able to do anything from here, so she walked over to Chloe. Chloe was standing nearby, gazing in awe rather than horror. Haggis was jumping up and down, barking at the approaching face. Rosa walked over to her daughter and knelt down. She didn’t have the strength to tell her that this wouldn’t end well for them, their home, heck even the moon. Her eyes teared up as her daughter blissfully waved at the nearing oblivion.
---
As Atka’s teeth were about to sink into the moon's appetizingly soft crust, he felt something. Something very similar to the energy blast he’d been tracking. He stopped and looked at the spot he was about to eat and squinted. He used soul sight and saw that there were thousands of the small people all along the surface of the moon. Inside a little speck on the surface, a girl waved from inside. He felt shocked at first, but then he felt overjoyed!
It had been so long since he’d met a new civilization! He looked to the left, and the less he focused on his gurgling stomach, the more souls he could sense, on a planet not too far from here! Billions upon billions of small people to meet! He was ecstatic. He waved back at the girl before looking back down at the thousands of people that were almost his lunch. He decided to go in and say hello (and sorry) to the quavering mom within. He closed his eyes once more and shrunk down into the colony's hub.
-------
When the shaking stopped, Rosa opened her eyes and looked around. She expected to see heaven, hell, or some other afterlife where she'd go after being eaten like a breadcrumb. But she wasn't dead. She looked around and saw that she was still very much alive and inside the hub. She saw Chloe, who was also alive, chatting with someone. Upon closer inspection, Rosa saw that this was the boy that had almost eaten them!
She screamed in confusion and leapt back. The boy seemed to notice her then, and walked over to her. His long tail was hovering just inches above the floor. He walked over to her, smiled, and sat down on the floor.
Rosa cautiously got up, eyeing the once colossal figure before her. He tilted his head in curiosity, looking back at her. Then he spoke into her mind without ever opening his mouth.
"Hello! My name is Atka! What's yours?"
Rosa stammered in her words before replying in a shaky voice, "I'm... Rosa Vasquez..."
"Nice to meet you Rosa! Um... " he blushed a shade of orange. "Sorry I almost ate you..."
Rosa had so many questions. How'd he get here? Why did he almost take a bite of out the moon? Why and how was he smaller than her!? Nevertheless, Rosa calmed herself and tried her best for a smile. She offered her hand to Atka, and he took it. His grip was firm and powerful, yet gentle. It was clear he was holding back, careful not to damage her. His stomach growled loudly enough to be heard from where she was sitting, making it clear that he was very hungry. She chuckled to herself and thought, "hungry enough to eat a moon?". She helped him up and took him to her room to make him something to eat.
Atka was impressed with all the advanced tools and comfy bed. He went over to her jewelry drawer and opened it. He gasped and took out two gold, large earrings. He pointed to them, and then to himself. She nodded, giving him permission to keep them. Though, she wasn't sure how good they'd look on his big ea...
And before she could finish her thought, Atka nonchalantly tossed them into his mouth, catching Rosa off guard. He moved them around in his scorchingly hot mouth, savoring their taste, until they had actually melted into liquid gold. Once they had, he gulped them down, sighed, and licked his lips to clean off any remaining metal.
Rosa flinched as he did so, before once again chuckled and said, "At least I won't have to polish those anymore! You sure have expensive tastes, huh?
Atka looked at her and tilted his head before using telepathy to say, "huh?"
Rosa laughed and realized that he had no sense of Earth ways. He might know about manners, but he doesn't seem to know about currency, human food, or even basic things like not jumping on the bed, which he was doing at the moment. She knew that this boy was going to be a tough one to teach, especially since he left a several hundred kilometer wide handprint on the moon's surface.

*Atka was relaxing on darkened side of the Earth. It took the humans a very long time to get used to him, especially since he had grabbed the moon and almost bit a huge chunk out of it, but they eventually got used to the massive boy in the sky. He loved looking at the darkened side of Earth. The tiny human cities sparkled each night, mesmerizing him. He was so entranced by their comforting twinkle that he hadn't noticed the massive being only a couple million miles away.*

*Fsuorstiua investigated more. What kind of being would hold the moon to the point it would leave imprints like these, but do nothing more ? He could sense life on the moon...
Fsuorstiua's cosmic body usually went unnoticed thanks to its humongous size, but if he stared into a being in particular, they'd have a feeling of being watched. There wasn't a lot of beings capable of even noticing him.
And Fsuorstiua happened to have looked into Atka. It would make sense if he was the being who did this to the moon... *

*As Atka was actually starting to drift off to the comforting sparkles of the metropolises below, he felt something. Something that tingled in the deepest part of his soul. He felt... Watched? Was it just the humans looking up at him? No... This was something else entirely...
He looked around him, wondering what could make him feel this way, and that is when he saw Fsuorstiua. His eyes widened as he looked at the being that towered over him. One that was comprised of fire and light. One who was so big, he extended out of visual sight. Atka, though, wasn't as scared for himself, he was scared for the tiny humans that were sleeping peacefully below. Heck, all of Earth. This guy looked like he could pinch the Earth and it would shatter to rubble. Atka couldn't let that happen. He moved to the other side of the planet, the side illuminated by a sunrise, and placed himself in between the Titan and Earth. He wasn't sure if this being was a friend or for, but it's the only living thing in the entire Galaxy that has not just matched his height, but went over it. Thus, he wanted to be absolutely sure Earth would be at least somewhat protected.*

*Fsuorstiua's head tilted to the side innocently. If this was the being that hurt the moon, but wanted to protect Earth... Well there was something he was missing...*
*Fsu talked to him telepathically* Everything is okay.
*His voice was soft like a woman's, but it also echoed in an alien way*

*Atka jumped a bit. He hadn't heard anyone else use telepathy, so he was a bit shocked to hear it. But the message worked. Atka calmed down a small bit, and began floating less stoically.*
Atka, also using telepathy: You... You're not going t-to hurt Earth?

*Atka looks at the moon and tenses up a bit. Not just from fear, but from guilt*
Atka: Y-yeah... I was exploring space for a surge of energy from around her when I came across this moon. I didn't know that there was life on it at first, so I grabbed either side of it to take a bite out of it... B-but I sensed the souls of the beings on it and I let go.
I would repair it if I could, but I'm afraid that I'll damage it more if I try to...
*It's clear that he feels terrible about what he did, with him averting his gaze from Fsu.*

*Atka instinctually moves back a bit when Fsu moves closer a bit. He simply isn't used to seeing something that's both this big AND alive. He tries to steady himself regardless.*
Atka: Well yeah, it is t-the past... But I feel bad about it because of how the humans on this planet reacted when I first visited... *His eyes dim a bit recalling the memory.*

Atka: oh... Okay then.
*In a flash of light, Atka shrinks himself and warps down onto Earth. Right into the house of Rosa, which is just waking up. He rushes over to Rosa and gently shakes her awake.*
Rosa: *yawn* what is it, Atka?
Atka: Come outside quick! Quick! I need to show you something!
*Rosa, still in her nightgown, is practically pulled by Atka out the door, where he points to the Titan in the sky. Rosa looks up and... Just sees the moon.*
Rosa: Atka, there is nothing up there.
*Atka keeps pointing at it, not believing that he's the only one who can see him*

*Rosa noticed the increase in temperature, but just brushed it off as Atka's body heating up.*
Rosa: Atka, now isn't the time to introduce me to your imaginary friend. I'm going back to bed.
Atka: Whaa? Whaddya mean you don't see him? He's bigger than even me! He's lighting the moon on fire!
*Rosa squints sarcastically, not believing Atka. Of course, she sees nothing. She tries to be sweet to the anxious Atka*
Rosa: Go back to bed, Pequeño. We'll talk about this when it's bright out.
*Despite Atka's protests, Rosa goes back inside. He pouts and turns to look at Fsu's form before following her in. He immediately goes to Chloe's room.*
Atka: Chloe? Do you see the giant snake-man out in the sky?
*Chloe looks at the sky and, again sees nothing. She turns back over to go back to sleep. Atka is starting to think that he's lost it.*

*Atka wants to ask so many questions. Where is he from? Why did he come to Earth? What's his name? But Atka decides to listen to him. He walks over to his own bed, across the room from Chloe, and lies down. He puts his head to the pillow, quieting his ever-racing mind. And in a few minutes, he is asleep.*

*As Fsuorstiua said, it took less than a Eart day to restore the Moon to its previous state, as the imprint completely disappeared as if it was never there.*
*The morning would be extra warm, and the air feel nicer... Fsuorstiua's cosmic body was still around, but all of his eyes were closed though. *

*Atka awoke the next morning feeling... Oddly well rested. He sat up in bed and stretched out, yawning. He looked to the other side of the room, Chloe wasn't there. He could hear the buzz of the daily news out in the living room. He looked out the window and... The handprint was gone! The Titan was still there, but he hadn't touched Earth in the slightest! He walked out into the living room to find Rosa and Chloe both looking in awe at the TV, then at him.*
Rosa: Atka? How did you... When did you... Handprint... ???
*Atka mostly ignored her incoherent questions. She'd think he was lying if he said anything. So instead, he tried talking to Fsuorstiua.*
Atka, telepathically: Hello? Mister Titan? Are you awake?

*Atka pouts a bit on the table. He had a zillion questions rapidly spinning through his head. But Rosa shook his shoulder to snap him out of it.*
Rosa: Atka! Explain the moon handprint disappearing!
Atka, in a panic: U-um... Uh... I-I fixed it! Yeah! I was gently brushing it and I c-covered it up again!
*Rosa would've normally seen the lie for what it is, but her brain was still warming up. She goes and sits back down with Chloe, leaving Atka alone.*
Atka, once again telepathically speaking to Fsu: Well... When can I talk to you? I wanna know more and talk about our pasts! Because I was born from some stuff like that too! Different, but similar!

Fsuorstiua : Atka... I am sorry but I need to rest for the moment. I have put some of my energy into the moon and I need to wait until it comes back.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Atka: Oh... Sorry.
*Atka decides that he wants to go outside, so he tells Rosa that he's going out. She nods, too tired to think. Atka smiles and... Turns right around to go to his room. He quickly changes into his normal orange attire. He walks outside and breathes in the unusually crisp morning air. The grass felt nicer between his toes. It just felt... Nicer. He looked up at the Titan in the skies, the one only he could see. He could see the moon and it's clean, hand-print free surface. He felt an immense surge of joy once again. He just can belieive it really WAS fixed! He wanted to say thank you to the Titan but decided instead to just have more of a bounce in his step. He decides to take a simple walk around the neighborhood, he just couldn't get over how amazing the day felt!*

*Atka flinches at the sudden voice in his head. He was sitting by a pond feeding some ducks. He looks up into the sky as he hears it.*
Atka: Oh! You're awake! Does this mean we can talk now?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Fsuorstiua : Probably...
*he quickly added some more as he felt that he would ask questions he has asked before. *
But please do avoid asking about myself, my origins or my name. It is too early.
You could share yours though, if you wish.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Atka: Okay! But uh... My origins are a little weird, so I'll talk for a while!
*He gets comfy by the pond's edge, dipping his toes into the cool, clear water.*
Atka: My origins are kinda like yours. From what I know, I was born from three things; a supernova, a small dwarf star, and a giant cloud of energy. I never gave it a name, but the humans on Earth call it 'soul'. The three things mixed together somehow, and I came to be. I had no idea who I was or why I existed, but I did! So I began the reaaally boring first few billion years of my life, eating small planetoids and asteroids.
But I soon came across a planet filled with... With life! The conscious beings on it had the same energy I had, albeit in a much much smaller amount. I wanted to talk to them and befriend them! So, after some trying, I found that I could shrink myself! I stayed near the planet, protecting it from asteroids and space junk. It was here that I realized I wanted to protect life. Protect every type of conscious life!
*Atka's face got a bit sadder. He's going into unpleasant memories.*
But... I never stayed in one place for too long. The people they... They began to either worship me as a god or hate me as a devil. They became divided over me, angry that the other thought differently... And I left. I couldn't stand to watch them tear each other apart, even though I told them I wasn't either! ... Sorry, I didn't mean to talk too much... Heh, I sometimes share a bit more than I need to...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Fsuorstiua : There is nothing bad in needing to talk nor feeling curious.
I have lived the same way. I was worshipped, but I were given sacrifices to. I am... mixed up about what I am, a deity feels correct at times. However, I remain a being with flaws, as any being in this universe is. I do not want to be treated like a superior being. I only want to be seen a friend. A friend with powers, but a friend nonetheless.
Atka. I doubt that Rosa and Chloe would even believe I exist if you told them again about me.

Atka: You're probably right... They thought I was crazy last night.
*Atka goes quiet for a moment*
...
Mr. Titan? Could... Could we be friends? You're the only other being in this Galaxy I've met that has not only come close to my size, but completely dwarfed it! And it would be nice to... To have someone else that understands...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Fsuorstiua : I think we could be.
Then, your two human friends accepted your existence. They could accept me over time, if they accepted you...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Atka, ecstatically jumping for joy: Really!?
Thank you! Thank you so much!
*When Fsu mentions the human friends accepting him, he paused in his jumping*
Welll... Not all humans are so eager to meet me. You see, it's only this neighborhood where I feel safe enough to show who I am. Everywhere else, I wear an orange hoodie to hide my eyes and make my ears look like my hair... Because other people are still terrified of me. They pelt me with insults and threats... I know I said they were USED to me, but I never said they liked me... So while Rosa and Chloe might, I don't know about anyone else.
*He chuckles to himself.*
But... You probably already knew that, huh?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Fsuorstiua : Hmm.
Still, two human friends plus a dog accepting you already is a lot. They may not believe in my existence, but they do not believe your lie about the moon, do they ? I hope that does not cause any trouble.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Atka: I'm sure it won't! Rosa will probably forget about it in... Uhmm... Two weeks? If not, then yeah it might be hard to explain...
*He goes quiet before changing the topic*
Heh... Uhm... is there anything else you want to know about me? I have a lot to tell!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Fsuorstiua : There is no need to. I can just look into your memory if I wanted to know more.
I doubt a human would forget it in such a short time span. Restoring the moon is not the same as brushing sand.
Look Atka, If any problem comes up, I will try to help.

Atka: mm... You're probably right. I just don't want to think about that. Even if you could help, Mr Titan. It's hard talking to someone like that...

Fsuorstiua : Forgive me if I made you uncomfortable. Let me share some more about myself, if that can make you feel better.

*Atka looks up hopefully*
Atka: Yeah! I'd love that a lot!

Fsuorstiua : If you can see what are in my orbits; they are not eyes, I do not see; or at least, I can distinguish shapes thanks to my senses. I used to have eyes, but I tore them out as only death would occur when I could see.
Then, I am not the only member of my race. We are currently two; and we created a subrace called Setrogans. I have another body, a physical one. My soul is in two places at the same time. More people know about my avatar than this cosmic body of mine. If I trust you enough in the near future, I could let you see my physical body, and tell you my name.

*Atka listens with increasing interest and curiosity. He almost interrupts him to ask a question, but he barely manages to hold in his inquisition.*
Atka: That's really cool! And I-
*He's cut off by footsteps approaching from behind. He turns to see Chloe happily taking Haggis for a walk. She spots him and trots over, with Haggis running up to him happily yapping. Atka is tackled by the little dog, who is licking the laughing boy. Chloe asks what he's doing.*
Chloe: Hello Atka! What are you doing here? I saw you leave and run off this way!
Atka, momentarily forgetting Fsu's request to not talk about him: I'm talking to the Titan in the sky! *Realizing what he said, he tenses up.*

*Fsu remains silent. Nonetheless he wanted to see how that would go*

Atka, momentarily forgetting that he's been asked to not tell people about Fsu: I am talking to the titan in the sky! I-
*He tenses up, realizing his mistake. He wish he could take back the telepathic words.*
Chloe: What? What are you...
*She gets a look of realization*
Ooooooh! You mean your imaginary friend?
*Atka clenches his fists*
Atka, in his normal raspy voice: H-he's not imaginary!
Chloe, giggling: You sure you haven't lost it, Atka? NOTHING is bigger than you!
*Atka becomes quiet as he starts pondering it. Is he just imagining the titanic figure?*

Atka: I-I'm not crazy! I'm not!
Chloe, still joking around: Are you sure? You sure that old mind of yours hasn't finally lost its marbles? I mean you've been around a looooong time!
*Atka was beginning to shake. He couldn't tell that Chloe was joking. He thought that she was honestly asking if he had gone insane, even though she meant it as nothing more than a silly little joke about last night. And Chloe couldn't read his face, as he was having this struggle all within his head.*

*Atka looked up as Fsu spoke to him. He couldn't possibly be imagining the being in the sky, could he?*
Atka, trying his best to laugh it off: M-maybe! Hah! Hah!... Funny...
Chloe: Well, why don't you head out on Haggis's walk with us?
*Haggis yaps excitedly*
*Atka looks up at Fsu, wondering if he should go. After all, he'd be holding two conversations at once. He can do that normally, but not when one is taking so much of his attention.*

Fsuorstiua : You should go and relax some. Do not be afraid of mentioning me again, it is fine.
*Fsuorstiua reached for the moon, and felt its surface with a finger. It could pass through things, there wasn't any danger of him damaging anything*

Atka, telepathically: Oh... O-Okay!
*He gets up and trots over to Chloe and Haggis, and the three of them start walking down the sidewalk.*
Chloe: Well, how's your morning been? It feels REALLY good today, doesn't it?
Atka: Yeah! That's why I came out today!
*Atka glances up at Fsu smiling, signalling that he really knew why it was so nice and why he really came out this morning*

*Fsuorstiua shrank in size, but his size didn't allow him to... well, hide. His invisibility did the job well though, no matter his size. He inspected the moon a little more.
He didn't really notice Atka's smile since he was blind, but he did sense his happiness, he didn't react to it however. *
