She knew she has told Adrian she would go home to think, but she wasn’t even sure what she would think about. This Joab-Balaam sounded like everything except for reasonable - how could one even begin to cooperate with such a force? Another sigh, this one twisting into a groan. Protecting life would be so much harder than she had thought. She sped up, the light gathering around her to colour her a starry blue. On the way up, she spotted a whale and gasped. [colour=lightblue]“Oh, sister, you are so sweet!”[/colour] The whale gave her a baffled look back, upset by how small the kids were getting these days. Gibbou grinned back before soaring on past. There was the noticeable glint of divine power in the far distance, growing ever closer. Whoever it was, it was clear Gibbou was the final destination. Even with the closest look, no physical form could be seen, though the unmistakable swellings of a divine being pulsed. It shed the atmosphere effortlessly, entering orbit. Then it got close, and Enmity’s slit in reality was unmistakeable. It came to a shuddering halt a small distance from Gibbou, and a wheeze rippled through the airless space, propagating even without atmosphere, “Are you Oraelia’s sister?” The moon goddess stopped and spun around, eyes fixing in on that unseeable, yet still quite observable presence. A familiarity oozed about it, so her reply was uncertain and suspicious in tone. [colour=lightblue]“Y-yeah?”[/colour] Another rasping wheeze emitted from the slit in reality, saying, “I am Enmity. I am glad to finally meet you, your sister was kind to me.” [colour=lightblue]“That’s nice,”[/colour] she mumbled. [colour=lightblue]“What, uh… What’s up? Did you need anything?”[/colour] Her brow lowered ever deeper as she tried to place him. The hacking wheeze of Enmity responded, “I did not need anything, I merely wished to meet you. I do not wish to be a stranger.” [colour=lightblue]“Oh… Uhm… Cool!”[/colour] She shifted between the presence and her drifting moon, then a sudden twinge of memory kicked at her mind and she felt compelled to ask, [colour=lightblue]“Hey, uh, did you by chance see the guy who kicked my moon into orbit? I’m getting a strong sense of déjà vu, see.”[/colour] A reconciliatory wheeze, “That was me -- It was going to fall into Galbar otherwise. I did not desire that.” Gibbou scoffed and crossed her arms angrily across her chest. [colour=lightblue]“It was not! It was floating all nice and dandy over the mainland until you flicked it around in a loop!”[/colour] She kicked at the empty space at her feet. [colour=lightblue]“Ugh! You, you, you--.... You butt!”[/colour] A grinding halt of cogs, forced into motion once more, “It was not a stable orbit. It was falling, and it would have fallen into the atmosphere and killed all life about a thousand years from now.” [colour=lightblue]“Was noooot! I had full control!”[/colour] Gibbou protested and snapped her fingers. A space rock appeared in her hand with a ‘poof!’, just so she could throw it angrily into the atmosphere to let out some steam. [colour=lightblue]“What’re you, some expert on physics?”[/colour] Enmity wheezed again, “Yes.” Gibbou made a ‘prrt’ with her lips and waved dismissively. [colour=lightblue]“Okay, so you might be an expert on physics, but… Well, your hat’s stupid.”[/colour] The sound of cogs suddenly working overdrive emerged from the slit in reality, before a confused wheeze emerged, “I’m -- I don’t have a hat. I’m a massive machine. At best a hat would get stuck in the cogs.” [colour=lightblue]“Hah! Exactly!”[/colour] Gibbou mocked proudly, though her expression conveyed possibly anything except pride at that comment. She paused awkwardly, her eyes once more shifting back and forth between the presence and the moon. [colour=lightblue]“You get what I’m trying to do here, right?”[/colour] Enmity rasped, “Your sister is the goddess of day and light, I would assume you are of night and darkness?” [colour=lightblue]“Guilty,”[/colour] she replied almost accusingly towards herself, prodding her index fingers together and looking down. Once again, the wheezing voice took on a reconciliatory tone, “Why guilty? Is there something wrong with being a goddess of night?” [colour=lightblue]“No, no, I’m just regretting my words just now…”[/colour] She shook her head adamantly and resumed her proud stance, hands on her hips and a smile on her face. [colour=lightblue]“Being a night goddess is fantastic, thank you very much! I take it you are some kind of physics guy, huh. Let me guess - gravity?”[/colour] The wheeze, again, “I am the god of all physics -- not just gravity, but entropy, thermodynamics, the weak and strong nuclear force, charges, and so on.” [colour=lightblue]“Wow, awesome,”[/colour] Gibbou mumbled and faked a yawn behind her palm. [colour=lightblue]“So was that all, or? I’m in a bit of a hurry to, y’know, go think. On my moon.”[/colour] She paused. [colour=lightblue]“By myself.”[/colour] Enmity let out another rasp, “I am sorry if I have offended you, I--” his voice suddenly stopped, the slit in reality wavering as the sound of cogs screeching, stuck in place emerged. Five seconds passed, then ten, before suddenly there was a violent twang and and the sputtering of machinery reentering motion. Gibbou blinked concernedly at the noises. [colour=lightblue]“N-no, sorry, that was really mean of me, I-... It’s not you, mister Enmity - or well, I haven’t quite forgiven you yet for what you did to my moon - but I’ve just got a lot of stuff on my mind.”[/colour] A breathless wheeze, labored, “Do not worry, that wasn’t,” another wheeze, “caused by you. Not in the slightest. It was my lifeblood.” [colour=lightblue]“What, wait? Did you have a hand in creating Joab-Balaam, too?”[/colour] she suddenly hissed angrily. Enmity rasped, “Who? I have not met a Joab-Balaam yet.” [colour=lightblue]“Oh, then nevermind. They’re a butt, too, though a much bigger butt than you,”[/colour] Gibbou assured and nodded sagely. [colour=lightblue]“Hopefully, you won’t meet them ever.”[/colour] Another pained wheeze, “I do not wish to be your enemy, I am sorry for your moon but I could not leave it in a position to crash into Galbar.” Gibbou shrunk. [colour=lightblue]“Sorry, I didn’t mean to be so mean again. It just kinda, came out, and-- Oh, sorry, sorry!”[/colour] She floated over towards the presence with extended arms. [colour=lightblue]“Sorry, I’m being a butt, too, huh… Here, can we hug it out?”[/colour] Enmity wheezed pitifully, “My tear is one-way, I am afraid. I could not in good conscience let another being approach me.” [colour=lightblue]“Oh,”[/colour] Gibbou cooed somberly. [colour=lightblue]“Gotcha. So, uh… What now?”[/colour] The rasp again, unsure, “I do not know. I came only with the goal of meeting you. I suppose.. That is done, now?” [colour=lightblue]“So it is, huh.”[/colour] Gibbou drummed her foot awkwardly at the empty space she was floating on. [colour=lightblue]“So, uh… See you around?”[/colour] Enmity rasped in return, “I suppose I will. I hope you fare well,” he paused, leaving an open question -- Gibbou had not given a name yet. [colour=lightblue]“L-likewise,”[/colour] Gibbou offered and began to float away. Enmity watched Gibbou go, not bothering to chase, even though he had not even learned Gibbou’s name. [hider=Summary] Gibbou and Enmity meet. They say hi. Gibbou gets angry that he messed up his moon, but Enmity says it was for the best. Gibbou tries to diss him, fails miserably and feels terrible after. She tries to hug Enmity, but Enmity’s like, don’t, don’t enter my rift please. The conversation ends on an awkward note as Gibbou floats off without even telling Enmity her name. [/hider] [hider=MP Summary] No might spent, bruv. [/hider]
