Bathed by the Moonlight, we watch the Stars above
Astorea, Solvale
20:47, Chilly Weather


"Aah~ I'm stuffed~!" Kyanna giggled, snuggling a bit closer to MAI. The dress she decided to bring with herself for this picnic that extended through the whole day and now night proved to be useless against the cold, as expected. Thankfully, her lack of preparation ended on her fashion choices, because with her she had brought her tent, sleepbags, tools to make the campfire that was some feet away from them, and three warm blankets... One that served as 'flooring' for the tent, one that served for where she and MAI sat, by the edge of the hill they were on, and one that she used to turn herself and MAI into a warm norimaki.

In front of them, bowls that had mushroom and vegetable soups in them were now empty, which was enough to bring the warmth the witch needed to become once again energetic, even if it was already getting a bit late.

A brief sigh escaped her lips, and her gaze resting on MAI's.

"Hey, you promised to teach me a bit more about astramancy." Kyanna reminded, probably something that the magia already was aware of, so it was mostly a way for the witch to hint she was ready to do it.

Noctua flapped its wings, letting out a low hoot and tilting its head, with an intent stare falling on the two of them.

"I'd say it is the perfect time for that." She hummed, eyes shifting high above, seeing the sparkling sky.

"Agreement - Kyanna has prepared a feast worthy of a fungi witch."



The magia girl replied somewhat jestfully, also feeling quite full and unable to not briefly glance at the now very full meter in the corner of her vision, almost ready to pulsate with color as if to indicate that eating any more would result in some kind of negative status effect. But it still brought a smile to her face. It might have been a small reminder that they were inside of a game, but the experience was no less real than if it all took place outside of it as well.

As the evening got colder, the girl was ready to shed her brown cloak and drape her companion in it instead. While its primary function was to conceal one's identity, it still had all of its original functions as well - namely that it was quite good at protecting against the harshness of nature's elements. Ultimately, though, it turned out that Kyanna came to this place quite prepared. Apparently, this picnic was to be extended into a whole camping trip now.

But to be able to snuggle inside the warm wrap of a blanket? It was well worth it, wasn't it? Leaning against each other, the fungi witch wished to learn more about the stars, the cosmos, the all that encompassed them both. Even the small starlet owl made its presence known, born partly of the astral power that the magia wielded. But it was so much more than just another mastery... at least to MAI, it was. But where could she even begin? Letting out a brief sigh, she looked up at the starry sky.

"Worry - This unit is not sure if it will be a good teacher. Social things like that... were never this unit's strong suit."


Still, she would try her best, as always. Letting various thoughts fill her mind, images of greatness wash over her inner eye, she closed her eyes for a moment and extended one of her hands upward. Along it, one could almost say that the heavens themselves lit up a bit more... colors saturating, stars shining brighter. Was it truly the sky? Or just a bit of trickery that the magia used on the two of them? She smiled slightly as her mana painted the air around them, creating shapes, tiny moving constellations.

"Comos - This unit sees it... like the ocean. It seems endless. So close, yet so unexplored. And full of the strangest, wonderful things. All perhaps completely impossible for our minds to comprehend in entirety. Some say that the Universe is uncaring, but this unit finds a warm embrace and comfort in Cosmos, the mother of all. After all, it is a miracle. All of it. And so are we. In this realization, this unit finds strength."

TerraSphere was a strange game, one that connected with those that played it on a deeper level. One's mental space, one's imagination... they too were tools that could be used to shape this world. Where some found infinite insignificance, MAI found infinite possibilities and a promise of an eternal voyage of wonders, projecting that very idea onto the world around her.

Where some used Astramancy in a more traditional way by divining and reading the stars, she wished to be a free bird that could fly from one planet to another. Gravity no longer shackled her, allowing her to spread her wings. The emptiness of the endless space could gnaw at one's soul, but MAI focused on the beauty of colors in space. Her form was coated in a visage of nebulas and starlight, shining eternally and warding off others.

Ultimately, Kyanna would find her way. But if she wanted to be taught by this magia specifically, then there was probably no way but to witness what Cosmos meant to her. And while MAI was not worried about how the witch would take it, she did look over to the other girl with a somewhat worried smile.

"This unit hopes none of this will be too boring for Kyanna."

Kyanna smiled at MAI. "Don't you worry about that, no one here is an actual teacher." The witch said, resting a hand on the magia's, interlocking their fingers for a moment and squeezing as a soft reassurement before pausing to listen to the introduction of her explanation.

The magical miasma that turned the surrounding air into a sky that somehow was even starrier than the real one they could see made her eyes sparkle for a moment, mostly reflecting the stars before her eyes, but also brimming in admiration as she felt her body relax upon the reassuring sight of the celestial bodies that danced in front of them. MAI's soothing voice delivered every bit of information and personal opinion, one of each that didn't teach Kyanna only about the studies of the cosmos, but also told her more about the magia she so much cared for.

Her eyes settled on the magia's for a moment, and a bright smile revealed itself.

"It is lovely, MAI. Very lovely." The hand squeezed the other's again, and Kyanna leaned in, somehow even closer. "If we can't comprehend them, do you think we will ever be able to? Do you think we could be part of them someday? Or maybe... Reach them?" She wondered, even if in some way, they already were part of it.

But perhaps, more directly... To actually touch them.

Somehow, MAI felt a bit... tired. Was it because it was well past twilight time now? Or did her little party with Kyanna actually turn out to be more tiresome than one would expect? No matter, the magia briefly allowed her eyes to close and rest for a brief moment as she felt the other girl's hand intertwine with hers again, flesh against fake skin and steel. Even still, they were warm.

"Hope - That is what this unit wishes for. So that one day we may embark on the voyage to eternity. Up among the stars."


Was it just a silly dream? Or was it perhaps a not-so-distant reality..? After all, humanity got this far. The two girls were chatting and feeling each other's presence inside of a program while their real bodies were on completely different halves of the globe. All so real that one could easily forget that this was just a cruel death game. Improving day after day... perhaps they would be surprised eventually, as they could try to reach for the very stars and what lied beyond them.

Kyanna listened to MAI's hope, pondering about it for a moment, considering her words, considering what she spoke of, the desire of embarking on something that went beyond clouds, to reach for stars and planets... An idea that made the witch squeeze the magia's hand softly, for a moment having her mind overwhelmed at the infinity of that thought, of how grand and gargantuan everything would be compared to her tiny existence in their planet.

An eternal exploration... One tha would never, ever end.

"It would be wonderful." Kyanna said, a bit dreamy, slipping her free hand out of the blanket, aiming for the illusory stars that MAI had created before clenching her fist and looking at it, before peering at the magia, turning to face her.

"After... I find my mother..." She muttered. "... Why don't we try to find a way to reach the stars?" Kyanna wondered.

"In our world, it may be hard... But here... Here magic exists."

MAI could almost feel Kyanna's gaze upon her self. Opening her eyes again, they were a bit different from usual. No longer golden, the very galaxy that she had created before was reflected within them. The usual black pupil was now white and shaped like a star, removing all of the usual artificial feel those eyes had.

"Certainty - It will definitely be possible in this world. Of that, this unit is now beyond certain."


She didn't want to necessarily disclose why, as they already both had enough of the Szofrit incident and all that it brought along with it. But if MAI's hypothesis held any water, then the dissonant magia arrived from beyond the boundary of the skies.

"However, that is certainly a secondary objective to finding Kyanna's family member. This unit will still do anything in its power to help there as well."


Just as before... even if she didn't really help much during their little dissonant story book incident.

Kyanna's eyes grew wide at the real possibility of planet travelling in this world. If anything, it gave at least her a hint of hope of reaching one of MAI's dreams. That in itself would bring a great joy to the witch, and with the fact that MAI seemed to agree with the idea of finding her mother first, it only made Kyanna happier.

"I wouldn't say it is secondary... It is part of something your wishes, Mai." Kyanna pointed out, with a small giggle escaping her lips.

"With your help, I'm sure I will find my mother soon, I'm certain of it... And after we find her..." Her eyes closed for a moment, with her mind allowing itself to daydream until her eyes opened again, just as Kyanna turned her face to look directly at MAI's eyes, with the closeness making them look much bigger than they were, especially considering the two of them were wrapped together in the warmth of a thick blanket.

"After all that... We can go and try to reach the stars. And we can travel together, one by one. One after another..." Kyanna squeezed MAI's hand softly, with her gaze lingering on the magia's.

"... At least... I would love if we could..." Her cheeks turned rosy for a moment, and her face averted.

"I mean-"

"My wishes..."



MAI paused for a moment as she repeated that phrase after Kyanna. The witch appeared to be truly happy about all of these prospects, hopefully about the future. That was good... after all that happened, hope was probably something they needed the most.

"Solemnity - This unit does not need to see her wishes fulfilled to experience happiness. This unit now thinks there are much better things that it might not even realize yet..."


Such as spending time with a certain fungi witch. Or at least the magia certainly didn't think their relationship would develop like this when they first met... that she would enjoy the other's company this much at any point. As a solitary being, it was truly something unique.

Then, her head titled to the side in a bit of curiosity. Was Kyanna getting embarrassed about simply stating that she would love to do something together? That was how it came across to MAI, so the magia smiled and squeezed the other girl's hand right back.

"Desire - This unit would also love it if it could experience more things together with Kyanna."

"Well, you are right. We don't need to complete our wishes to be happy... But it does help." She giggled.

Kyanna closed her eyes, resting her forehead on MAI's. Even if her face burned with embarrassment, she didn't mind to take a bit more of warmth of her... Friend? That word felt a bit off, but what else MAI was? The witch's lips pursed, with the memories they had shared through these past months. The Wintersday, the Uene's Blessing, the worry that prickled her heart so much when she was gone during the magia attack.

"Mhm... Let's experience a lot more together..." She muttered, only for the two of them. Spoke so quietly that it almost seemed like it was a secret, one that she wanted to keep away even from the hearing of the grass beneath them, or the stars that the magia had just created, or even the owl that so intently stared at them.

"... Forever..."

She added the last bit, mildly unconscious. When she noticed it, however, she perked up, opening her eyes and turning her face away. What the fungi she was thinking?!

So close... Kyanna truly did look different from so close. Her approach might have startled MAI a tiny bit, but the magia... wanted to be close. Wanted to remain like this... or, perhaps, if here selfish wishes were to be fulfilled, go even further beyond this moment? But it was the witch who created this situation and eventually backed away from it.

Forever. Was the magia rubbing off on her a tiny bit, perhaps? It was no lie that people became similar to those who they were in close contact with, whether consciously or not. Or perhaps the raven-haired young lady liked the idea of eternity spent with someone she enjoyed being with to the fullest, just like MAI did. It made the mechanical girl smile, even as the expectations of them being so close vanished yet again.

"Yes, forever."


That said, with Kyanna facing away, she couldn't quite help but scoot a bit closer, almost pressing her chest against the girl's back, as she slightly peered over her shoulder.

"Curiosity, it is now Kyanna who has turned away. Kyanna and this unit are now one for one."


She said a bit teasingly in hopes of breaking away from that embarrassment, even though she was feeling it herself. Whatever was it that gave her the strength to push past it all of a sudden?

Feeling her friend closing the distance even more, with their bodies touching again made Kyanna need to breath deeply.

Kyanna looked over at MAI, letting out a sheepish giggle, with her hand rubbing her own arm as some self comfort, just before her hands trailed up to tug her hair behind her ear.

"It is just... That you make my heart skip sometimes." Kyanna said, mustering a small smile, admitting it with eyes that couldn't help but dart away and then focusing back at the magia. The agitation was clear, even if she tried to cover it with her usual serene expresion, and the smile that hardly disappeared from her lips. Eventually, however, she mustered enough courage to slip a bit of the truth-

"I feel happy around you." She said, smiling a bit. "Safe too. I'm not sure how to explain it. It just happens." Her face was red like a beet, but she tried to stay firm.

"I was playing this game just to find my mom. But... As I met more people, this is changing a little." Kyanna said.

"Like... Longing to log in... And see you..." Kyanna muttered, pursing her lips for a moment.

"And when I do, my heart skips a beat or another again." Kyanna spoke, averting her eyes.

MAI's body lowered, getting a bit more comfortable as she sat back on the blanket, legs slightly spread with her hands planted on the ground between them, golden eyes watching intently. With the first admission, the magia froze a bit... they were saying things of this nature almost the whole day, so how come she still felt so bashful hearing it all? Parting her lips slightly, there was only one question she wanted to ask - 'Are you happy with that?'

But before even a single breath could escape her, the witch continued and answered right away. She felt happy, safe even. As far as MAI could recall, no one had ever attributed such feelings to her. It certainly made her heart skip as well.

"Me too... I feel happy, too. Want to see you more, too."



Looking to the side, almost as if she herself could not handle the words that were being spoken, MAI shifted the topic only ever so slightly.

"Confession - This unit didn't want to play this game much. Only started... to understand why others would play something that could kill them. But this unit began to understand... and now feels the same way as Kyanna."

The mutual feelings made Kyanna's cheek redden as she averted her face, but not really her eyes, with lips pursing to suppress a squeal that could escape the witch at any moment. She felt a bit embarrassed, she was already old enough to not let things be like this, and still... And still...

"I am glad you think the same..." She said, returning her face to MAI's, with her eyes locked on those starry, dreamy iris that the magia she held so dear had.

It made her mesmerized for a moment, and the witch half closed her eyes, peering away as she spoke once again- "Say..." Kyanna placed a hand on her own chest, squeezing softly, as if trying to control her own heartbeats... But it was impossible, they were already hammering against her chest. "It is a bit crazy, but..." Her eyes shifted around, fidgeting just like the fingers of her free hand tapped on the grass, scooting closer to MAI's hand, so it could rest above it.

"Do you think..." Kyanna's eyes returned to MAI's, with her voice quietening, slipping almost way too quiet. Just for the two of them. "... Is it fine if I kiss you?"

A smile and a nod was how MAI agreed with Kyanna's assessment. In her mind, it was a good thing. Sometimes, feelings evolved... be their for another person or a game. This world, covered in the most realistic of falsehoods was no longer just some outside force to be examined. It was part of the girl just as much as she was part of it, and it seemed that she would not be parting with it anytime soon. She, too, wanted to see Kyanna more, after all.

But as the witch started stammering and speaking quieter, the magia could not help but tilt her head to the side, dark purple locks sliding across her face. Her eyes were radiant with all kinds of colors, just like how her hair was during the day, but only the dark magenta now. And the star-shaped pupils stared back, full of curiosity and patience for Kyanna to say whatever it was that she wanted to.

Then, she finally did. Almost as if she failed to register it, given the quiet tone, MAI remained motionless and without a reaction of any sort. Then, as if all hit her at once, her body jolted back a bit. Her lips quivered as she tried to get a sensible reply out of herself.

"Wha- a- aah..? K-- Kiss?! You, me, I mean- do you mean that..?! I..."



Mildly panicked, MAI looked in everywhich direction as if looking for help from some unseen force. Alas, there was none. Her hands, entirely covered by her longer sleeves, went up to her lips and covered it for a bit as the girl's expression became far more bashful.

"I've... never done that. I don't... know if I would be any good... for you..."

MAI's reaction made Kyanna's face grow even redder, with her eyes averting while steams almost seemed to escape from the witch, that was heating up like a teakettle that was whistling and scorching like hell.

"I-I think we are already past that, Mai!" Kyanna said, taking a deep breath and looking at her. "Anything with you..." Her cheeks flushed. "... I-Is good. Very good, even." The witch's eyes remained locked to the magia's, sometimes glancing at her lips, with a pang of self-conciousness hitting Kyanna at the fact she herself wouldn't know that much of what she would be doing real soon.

It was the first time she had mustered the courage to ask that to someone, after all.

Her voice held back for a moment, taking MAI's hands to herself and pressing it against her chest, before Kyanna blurted it out a bit more blatantly: "I-I want to kiss you, and I mean it! I want to do it!" She voiced it loud and clear, enough for it to even echo a little bit, which made Kyanna's expressions awkward for a moment, swallowing her emotions before adding-

"If you want to."

Things spoken from the heart were always the strongest. And Kyanna's voice, almost entirely unashamed and unafraid of anyone overhearing, confessed. The sudden explosion of feelings took MAI aback, nothing short of completely emptying her mind and leaving but white noise, unable to think of anything rational in response. She was not emotionally ready for this... but she also knew that no matter how much time would pass, she'd never be ready.

And, of course, there was only one possible answer she could give right now.

"Yes..."



Her voice was even quieter than the witch's, it was quivering and cracking, but it was earnest. She was not lying, but she could not help but clutch her small hands at her own chest and close her eyes tightly. If she were to face the other girl as she approached... she was unsure if she could truly do it. Perhaps she would pull back the very last moment, ruin things at the finish line as she always seemed to somehow manage... she could not allow herself to do that now.

The acceptance prickled Kyanna's heart, making her feel a tingle of embarrassment run through her body, along with an anticipation that made her heart race even more. If her chest felt like it was warm, her face felt like it was burning hot, and it sure took time for Kyanna to stay firm and recover from the emotions that throbbed in her mind.

A swallow sealed the fact the witch was nervous, along with the fidget on the hands of the magia she was holding so dear of... And when MAI closed her eyes, it confirmed that it was the time to make it clear.

Make her feelings clear. To make it palpable and irrevocable, leaving no margin for misunderstandings and 'what ifs'.

She took a deep breath, looking at MAI and gently cupping her cheek, closing her eyes and using her tact to follow when she leaned in. Following the trail was easy, and eventually, it got so close that the magia would be able to feel Kyanna's erratic breathing.

Another swallow set in, and in one last approach, Kyanna's lips brushed on MAI's, making the witch flinch for a moment, feeling their noses touch as well, urging the witch to tilt her head so she could have a better position to actually press their lips together, sharing their warmth and the innocent yet so genuine feelings behind it. Kyanna scooted a bit closer, holding it a bit longer, and as unsure as she was on how to start, she was unsure of how to proceed, with the hand that wasn't busy cupping MAI's cheek going for her shoulder, to hold her softly.

In her fading state between dreaming and wakefulness, the girl had always imagined how it must have felt to be held and adored by another. a flicker of memory from another, their descriptions creeping into the recesses of her mind and playing on repeat. Unimaginable happiness, sensation of safety, euphoria everlasting - could any of it be true? Remembering how she felt when she herself was awe-struct with boys in the past... yes. Those feelings probably could blossom. Alas, they never seemed to be reserved for her.

But her she was. Unsure of what to expect when she closed her eyes... but one thing was clear. The wait, as short as it might have really been, felt oh so terribly long. Then, the warmth of Kyanna's palms, embracing her, holding her in place. There was no running away from this, but why would she want to? The uncertainty in her heart was not directed toward the fungi witch, but herself, after all.

The sudden sharp breaths brushing against her pale, synthetic skin were almost ticklish, making the girl's frame shiver and tremble with all the more anticipation. There was almost a temptation to open her eyes, make sure that all of this was truly happening... but then, a proof most irrefutable finally arrived. The soft, yet slightly ticklish sensation against her lips, the warmth of another shared so willingly. It was awkward, perhaps a bit messy and silly, riddled with inexperience, but none of that mattered. And if Kyanna were to open her own eyes... she'd surely see MAI's own, partly open, watery, almost giving way to tears.

The lingering dream that had just started warmed and made Kyanna feel like there was a world just for the two of them. Everything in their surroundings seemed to disappear as their lips continued to brush on each other, as the touch that felt like it stayed for much longer than it actually did...

Kyanna's hand gently rubbed MAI's shoulder, and as the tickling, youthful kiss parted, Kyanna's face was flaring in embarrassment, breathing rapidly until her eyes opened, noticing MAI's tears.

For a moment, her heart froze- Had she done something wrong..?

But before she panicked, she took a deep breath, with the hold on MAI's cheeks becoming tender, and another small peck connecting between their lips, with Kyanna's gaze locking on the magia.

"... How did it feel..?" She asked, curious and affectionate, with a hint of concern and worry when seeing the tears still forming, and using the thumb to gently caress MAI's cheek while the free arm wrapped on her softly, the only comfort Kyanna could muster at the moment, not knowing what was going through MAI's mind.

MAI might not have even realized the state she was in for a while. Her crumbling facade was already ready to give out, but Kyanna quickly went back in for a quick second kiss, making the magia partially close her eyes once more, forcing forming tears to stream down her cheeks, perhaps even meeting the witch's hand along the way.

"Very soft.. and warm... and nice."



She replied rather simply. There was no hint of anything negative, no disgust or even regret. She could not find any bad feelings inside of her heart. In fact, even more goodness and positivity was flooding her as she felt the other girl's partial embrace. However, she could not stop her tears from flowing... the tears formed by a realization that despite her solitary life until now, despite being pushed away by others time and time again, she managed to get here. To a point where someone... truly loved her?

"I am happy..."



Her voice was weak and cracking, but it was still a great deal of genuineness that could never be faked. She could only hope that Kyanna felt the same, for she was far too scared of raising the question by herself.
