Hyperion's PL: 7,000 (Antisense Active)
Through all his adventures, through all his hardships and pain, through just about thick and thin… Hyperion’s been there. He was tough as nails and strong as an ox, but whenever it came to planets and their very weird gravity, he’s been bested. Compared to the rest of the planets he had visited and his own homeplanet, Luna, none can describe how painful it was standing on… whatever this planet’s name was. It was named Eooth if he could remember correctly, though he could be wrong, and it might possibly be the most brutal planet he’s ever been on. Like EVER. He’s been to frost planets, very hot planets, but their gravity seems to be the same, or possibly even lower! But for some odd reason, this planet made of dirty and water, has the harshest gravity he’s ever experienced. The Lunarian had landed here on Eooth not so long ago, deciding to continue his quest for enlightenment and, hopefully, finding the source of all the chaos that’s been happening. He’s search through so many planets to find the war that was happening, and hopefully he could somehow bring an end to it just so his homeplanet, Luna, might not be caught in the crossfire. Not only that, but he believed justice should be served to those who caused this war, and hopefully he could convince them to cease what they are doing so they wouldn’t suffer Luna’s Light. It hasn’t exactly used it as much during his travels luckily, and he doesn’t exactly feel very keen on giving himself a major advantage in battle… well, unless it’s a life or death situation, in which he would of course fight back with all he had. He still had other goals that need to be accomplished, and dying won’t really do much good, would it?
The Lunarian would soon find himself in a busy street, wearing his usual suit of samuari-esque armor. He had his face concealed under some sort of mask, which only had two eye holes and a few airholes scattered throughout where the mouth should be. He was heaving, grunting with each step he took. His wings were tucked away under his armor, but as for his moth-like antennae, they poked from the top of his head. His wooden shoes would click and clack with each step he took, echoing through the city streets and more than likely getting muffled under all the honking of cars, the conversations of people… “I… don’t… like… this… planet.” He huffed and puffed, and while he said that, he wouldn’t realize that he was in the middle of the road! Though he wouldn’t exactly know what a road was to begin with, so it didn’t really matter. As he slowly made his way across the street, something obscure his vision, a light to be exact. He would turn his head and notice that some sort of metal beast was coming straight for him! It had two lights, looked square in appearance, and it bellowed a loud growl! Immediately the Lunarian would unsheathe his sword, ignoring the planet’s harsh gravity for a moment and holding out his blade with both hands. “STAND BACK, FOUL BEAST!” He exclaimed, and soon enough the beast would come to a screeching halt!
Hyperion would continue holding his blade out towards the truc- ‘beast’, and begin scooting over to the sidewalk. He honestly swore that he saw a person sticking their head out of the side of the beast, but considering his vision was being messed with due to all the flashing lights, it more than likely wasn’t the case. Once he finally made his way to the sidewalk, he would let out a loud grunt as he went and sat himself against a building, dropping his blade next to him. It twinkled beautifully from all the light, alongside his armor, which both appeared to be made from some sort of speckled black metal. The Lunarian would just sit there against the building, his blade laying on the ground besides him.

Stella’s PL: 5,000
After a few months of adjusting to Earth’s hellish gravity, Stella had grown strong enough to bear it. She had avoided crosswalks until she had gotten used to it, lest Jinn fret over her like a worried parent. She smiled to herself a little as she thought of her current employer. She didn’t really understand him that well, but she understood enough to know that he was the sort of person that she wouldn’t mind being in service to. As she strolled down the sidewalk, Stella glanced down at the little paper parcel in her hands. Jinn had called it a paycheck and had explained that it contained Earth currency and that she should use it as she saw fit. She was familiar with the concept, so she thought she would stroll around town to see if anything in particular caught her eye. She was wearing her usual Luna moth silk robes that she had weaved herself. From what she understood, there were many materials for clothing on Earth, including Earth silk. She wondered what that was like. She didn’t usually bother to materialize her wings in the presence of humans. It drew stares that made her feel a little uncomfortable. At least her antenna could be hidden or played off as some sort of accessory. Stella rounded a corner and froze. She had spotted something familiar. Lunarian craftsmanship. Armor. A sword. Presumably a Lunarian within it. They looked… bad for lack of a better word. When she had first arrived, Earth’s gravity threatened to crush her without armor on. She couldn’t imagine it with armor. Hurrying over, Stella knelt down beside him and rested a very gently hand on his arm so as not to increase his burden. “Excuse me, are you alright?”Flicking her antenna forward, Stella tried to get a sense for if he were injured. She didn’t see any damage to the armor itself. Maybe he had just worn himself out. That would be the best scenario. She could take him somewhere to rest in the meantime while he recovered his strength. |

How strong were the inhabitants here to begin with? Were they able to lift up things without struggle? Did they have the power to destroy things without much difficulty? It felt like it, because they were USED to this sort of gravity. Hyperion was so used to the lower gravity on different planets and even his own, so it was quite difficult in getting accustom to this sort of overpowering force that was resting on his shoulders… or better yet, his entire body. Even his armor felt as if they were giant slabs of metal resting on top of him, and he couldn’t exactly lift his own arm up to try and remove said armor since… well, the gravity here is vicious. The Lunarian would just pant quietly, resting against the wall and taking a breath. Each breath was a struggle to take, his own armor seemingly crushing his own body. Eh, he’ll tough through it! He was a Lunarian warrior, a warrior sent by Luna herself to carry on her task! He had the power to get through some gravity! After taking a moment, he would let out a strained grunt, attempting to lift himself up from the ground but, alas, it didn’t work. So instead of just trying to get up, he would just continue to lay there next to the wall, hoping that someone could bother to come and help him.
After what felt like eons, he would hear a set of footsteps approaching him. He wouldn’t bother lifting his head up, believing that if he did he would break his own neck. The footsteps would get louder and louder, until finally he heard a woman’s voice. She would go ahead and ask if he was alright, and grinning from under his mask, he would say, “Yes, I am alright! Just taking a break is all.” He said, as if trying not to admit that he’s been defeated by this planet’s gravity. He still couldn’t see who or what the woman was, so he wouldn’t really react much whenever she approached. “But I think some help could do finely! Just… help me so that I’m standing up? I’ll use the wall as leverage, or try to. My legs are quite weak and… well, they’re not weak but- Please lift me up.” Already he was making a fool of himself, how pleasant. He was too embarrassed in admitting that this planet’s gravity has took a toll on his body. “I have a bit of energy left, so if you could please do so, fair maiden.”

Stella held a hand over her heart with relief when the other Lunarian spoke. Still, that armor had to be slowly crushing him, and he had all the bravado that she’d expect of a Lunarian warrior. She murmured softly in disapproval and looked him over. She noted that he hadn’t lifted his head to look at her yet, which could be considered rude, but she knew it was because that helm was weighing him down like an anchor. It couldn’t be good for him.
“Oh, don’t be a child about it,” she chided gently, kneeling down beside him, “There’s nothing to be ashamed of. This planet’s gravity is quite harsh for our kind. I know I struggled when I first arrived. I couldn’t imagine it with armor.”
Her hands slipped underneath his chin and gently pulled off his helmet so that he could at least lift his head. Stella smiled down at him. It was another Lunarian! She had thought so, but to see another of her kind made her heart flutter a little. It had been a lonesome and solitary journey for her through the stars. Tucking the helm carefully under one arm, she tenderly held his chin up.
“There, better now? Hm-hm~!”
Stifling a happy giggle with the sleeve of her robe, Stella hoped that he wouldn’t take offense. Of course, the real challenge would be to get him out of that armor. She imagined that he would protest, but fortunately Jinn, while a handful, owned several different places throughout Central City. One was even nearby. She could take him to a private room where he could rest and recuperate if need be.

Suri PL: 3,000
Suri wandered the streets of Central City. The big city was more loud and crowded than Suri's small hometown back in the east, but overall, it wasn't too different. The location certainly didn't feel alien to her. It was still Earth, after all. The planet that she grew up on, and the only planet that she's been on. In her time living on Earth, she had seen many different kinds of people from different races. The ones that she saw right now, however, she had never seen before. She saw two...butterfly people? They both had antennae, but she couldn't see any wings. Her first guess was Zoanthropes, but she reminded herself that aliens existed as well. One was a man completely covered by a samurai warrior's armor, and Suri could only tell from the antennae poking out that he was the same race as the other, non-armored woman wearing a robe.
Suri began approaching the two, not only fueled by curiosity, but also the desire to help two strangers out. The armored person seemed to be struggling to stand for some reason. Was he sick or hurt? Or was he too hungry to stand? Suri walked toward them slowly. From a distance, she overheard the word gravity before seeing the woman take off the man's helm. Was the armor he was wearing wearing him down? ...Well, they both looked friendly enough. Suri decided that she would ask them the situation, and try to help them in any way she could.
When Suri got close enough to the two, she realized that they might be moths instead of butterflies, judging from the shape of their fluffy antennae. She would awkwardly look between the two and say "Uhm...Hello! I was just passing by and noticed you two." She would politely bow to greet the both of them, and then look at the armored person. "Is he going to be okay? He looked like he was having some trouble...standing. Do you need any help taking off the armor? Th-that looks heavy..." With a friendly smile on her face, Suri would start fanning some cool air toward the armored male with her hand, as she thought he would be feeling pretty hot under all that armor. She wanted to show that she was here to help, and that she meant well.

To think that he needed help… ugh, he just landed here and already things were going bad. First, he feel as if he’s getting crushed. Second, he nearly had to fight some sort of metal beast. Third, he now required help from someone from this planet. He didn’t mind the help at all, actually! It just gives off a bad impression of sorts, as if he couldn’t handle situations like he is in now all by himself. The Lunarian would sort of make a face under his mask after hearing the woman, feeling a wave of embarrassment going over him. He shouldn’t need help from anyone, nor should he waste a person’s time! He would sigh quietly however after being assured by the woman that there wasn’t a need to feel bad about this whole ordeal, and that the gravity was harsh for… OUR kind? Wait, did he hear her correctly? Apparently she also arrived here on Earth? She wasn’t a Lunarian, right? He was sure that none of his kind wasn’t around here because… well, they usually ventured off to different places! Like, uh… hmm. If this was a Lunarian woman, then that meant he’s finally met a person of his own race after many years of travel. He felt excitement, giddiness… but he couldn’t exactly express such emotions due to all this pressure weighing him down.
Soon enough the helmet he wore was lifted off from his head, and before he could look up at who it was, he would feel his chin be lifted up. His red eyes grew wide upon seeing who it was that helped him, and it was a Lunarian! “W-Wait? You’re…” Who knew that a Lunarian has already came here? “A… Lunarian. You’re one of… by Luna.” A smile would spread across his face upon the realization, letting out a few excited breaths. “I’m sorry for this! I really… it’s been such a long time since I seen another Lunarian. A long, long time. I left Luna a month or so after my Rite and… I never really went back.” A Lunarian. Another. Lunarian. He felt a sense of deja vu looking up at the woman, feeling as though he remembered seeing this somewhere. He would shake it off however, deciding to push it aside for now. “You have anywhere we can go? I can go and lift myself up now. I’ve gathered enough energy in order to do so, and there isn’t a need for help! Taking off that helmet surely put a lot of weight off me.” Though soon enough, he would realize that another person was also here.
He wasn’t really aware on what they were aside the fact that they were female, blue, and overall seemed like a very polite lady. “No, it’s fine! We’re just… I’m just having difficulties regarding the planet’s gravity. It’s not much of a problem, really.” Slowly, the Lunarian would begin lifting himself up, letting out loud grunts of effort while he slowly stood up. “I’ll be okay! Taking this armor would be greatly appreciated, but as of now I prefer we move to a more secluded place. If you wish to do me a favor, do you mind holding my sword? I don’t mean to waste your time or anything with my own troubles, let alone this lady’s, but if you wish to aid me then the least you could do is that.” He said, not exactly wanting these two to actually do much. He was very thoughtful whenever it involved his own problems, believing that, as a Lunarian warrior, he shouldn’t require aid whenever it came to things like this. But there was another thing that he knew, and that if those who were willing to help should be allowed to help.
“Okay, er… Miss?” He looked over towards Stella, before glancing towards Suri. Hyperion would give a small grin, chuckling. “Mind if I know your names? And as for you, fellow Lunarian, why are you here? I wasn’t made aware that another one of my kind would be here. I am not complaining however, for I’m just… very joyous in the fact that I’m not going to be alone on this planet.”

Stella giggled and smiled brightly, rather enjoying just how flabbergasted he was to see another Lunarian. She couldn’t deny that it felt wonderful to see someone from home, but that feeling was vaguely tinged with regret. There had been many things that her long journey had made her miss. Given her current circumstances, she doubted that she would get a chance to rectify that before she passed on. She frowned briefly until she realized that she was doing it and quickly switched back to a smile. She listened to his explanation and nodded with interest. She was curious about his Rite but had better manners than to ask what was still a stranger something so personal.
“Mm, yes. My employer owns a nearby building. We can go there to have you rest.”
Glancing up when she heard another’s voice, Stella was a bit surprised to see what appeared to be a creature made of candy. She knew that they were called majin and had run into a few before, but it was still a novel experience to see all of the shapes, sizes and colors that they came in. Stella smiled at her when voiced her concern and offered some help. The male Lunarian was being a bit stubborn about it. She could only imagine that he was as bullheaded as some of the Lunarian warriors that she had trained with in her youth.
“As he says, he’ll be fine once he gets some rest, but yes, we would appreciate the help. Thank you very much.”
Before she knew what was happening, the male Lunarian had hoisted himself up to his feet. Stella grimaced, resisting the urge to chide him for being so hasty. His rest was important, and every little bit of energy that he used was one more bit that he would have to recover. So hopeless. She sighed to herself softly, hiding her mouth with the sleeve of her robe. When he asked for their names, she smiled softly and clasped her hands in front of it.
“I am Stella. So nice to meet the both of you. As for why I’m here… I came to this planet in search of something very important, but now I owe a great debt and shall not leave until I repay it.”
With the other Lunarian’s curiosity sated, Stella excused herself and pulled out her phone. The journey would be much easier if they all just got a ride there. To get one, she would need to call her employer. She just hoped that he wouldn’t be ridiculous about it.
“Ah, hello Jinn. Could you call for a car to take myself and some acquaintances to the Jackal? What? No. No! Stop it. You can’t come. It’s not that important. Really. Yes, I promise. Yes. What? Already?”
Stella turned slightly, glancing down both sides of the street to see a limousine slowly approaching them until it rolled to a stop beside their little group. The driver stepped out and around the vehicle, opening a door to admit them.
“Miss Stella and company.”
Stella leaned back into the phone.
“Ah… thank you, Jinn. Mm, yes. Bye-bye.”
Turning back to her companions, she blushed a little with embarrassment and gestures to the limo.
“Ah, well, my employer was gracious enough to provide us with transportation. Shall we be off?”

Suri PL: 3,000
The moth man said that he was okay, but Suri found that a bit hard to believe, as he seemed to struggle just to stand up. 'Wait, did he just say...' "...Gravity?" So it wasn't just his armor that was weighing him down, he wasn't used to Earth's gravity! That was interesting to think about. Suri had learned about planets with higher gravity levels, but she had never heard about a planet with a lower gravity compared to Earth. Though, the woman didn't seem to be having any problems, and Suri wondered if she had done some kind of training to overcome that problem.
The male alien said that he'd like it if they move to somewhere secluded, and suggested that Suri could hold his sword if she wanted to help. "Of course, that won't be a problem at all." The woman told Suri that the man just needed some rest, and thanked Suri for trying to help. "You're...you're very welcome." Wow, hese two were very polite, and they seemed like nice people, too. At the same time, Suri was also relieved that he was going to be okay. She believed the lady when she said this, as she probably knew from first-hand experience.
When Suri turned her attention to the samurai's sword, Suri tried her best to hide her excitement, but she knew she was smiling a bit too much right now. This was a sword. A real SWORD. Suri had only seen swords in museums before, but now, one was just lying right there, waiting for Suri to hold it. As Suri carefully lifted the sword, her eyes were wide open and gleaming, perhaps just as much as the blade. The metal was dark and yet shiny, and Suri wondered what it was made of. Also... "...Swords are heavier than I imagined." With both of her hands, Suri held the sword almost like she was cradling a baby.
The moth male asked for the names of both women present, and the moth woman introduced herself as Stella. "...'Lunarian', huh..." Did they come from the moon? Suri didn't know anyone lived on the moon. Wow, today she was discovering so many things. "My name is Suri. It's nice to meet you, Ms. Stella, and Mr...." Suri would then wait for him to say his name.
After her introduction, Suri listened to them talk. When he asked why Stella was on Earth while expressing his joy of not being alone, Suri found herself feeling some nostalgia. Before Suri met her friends, she had felt the same loneliness, but she also had a feeling that some time before that, she had felt even more alone. She couldn't quite put a finger on it, though. "...I can relate..." she mumbled. When Stella told him why she was on Earth, Suri became curious about Stella's story, but she decided not to pry for now.
Stella turned away for a bit, to make a phone call. Suri wondered what that was all about.
Oh. Right. They were left alone now.
Suri wasn't the best at starting conversations, but this time she had something perfect. "So...You have a cool sword, and...armor! Are you a warrior or something? L-like, is it your job?" She asked the armor-clad warrior. Suri looked at the sword and realize that carrying it around in this state might not be a good idea. She would see the sheath on his hip, point at it, and ask "Uhm...Is it okay if I take this and put the sword inside? I don't think people are gonna like me carrying around an unsheathed sword to wherever we're going..." If he allowed it, Suri would take the sheath from his side, sheath the sword, and carry it safely. If he didn't, Suri would have to carry the sword very awkwardly, to not cut anything, including herself.
Focused on the conversation, Suri didn't overhear everything Stella said on the phone. Only a few words, not enough for her to predict what happened next.
A limousine pulled over next to them. The driver walked out and said Stella's name. 'She owned a LIMO?!' ...Suri was so glad she didn't exclaim that out loud. "You have a limo with a personal driver? Wow..." 'She must be a rich person...' It turns out, the limo was Stella's employer's vehicle. "Oh...Still, that's awesome." Suri wondered what Stella's job was. Suri certainly hadn't seen a limousine, ever in her life. She couldn't wait to look inside. Well, actually, she could. Suri would wait for both of them, and enter the car last, unless someone told her to get in before them. Either way, Suri would get in the car carefully, with the sword in her hands.
Suri sat down, and lay the sword on her knees, holding on to it so it doesn't fall off. Suri would ask Stella "So...Ms. Stella, what do you...uhm...what do you do for work? I-if you don't mind me asking." Suri hoped that she wasn't being rude, or anything. She was just slightly curious, and she was mostly just trying to start another conversation. Suri sat there as she tried not to look around or touch anything, keeping her hands where they were.

An employer? Huh, it seems as if this woman was working for someone, but who would that be? Eh, he wouldn’t go and bother to ask, believing that it’s unimportant. He didn’t want to pry any information out from the woman, so he would instead just nod, liking the idea of going somewhere to rest. He wouldn’t mind taking this armor off whenever he gotten there too, because oh boy his body was already aching. He might be in pain, but he wouldn’t dare to express it whatsoever, though that’s becoming harder and harder to do with all the strain he had to do just to get up. It was embarrassing to look this weak, especially towards two other people… with one of them being a Lunarian. Hyperion just had to prove that he wasn’t as weak and feeble like he is now, even if it meant aching the entire time the next day. Anywho, it seemed as if he was gonna get some extra help, which he didn’t mind all too much right about now. “Yes, I’ll be fine! I’ll be fine. I’m fine right about now actually, though help wouldn’t be left unappreciated due to my current state not being at all that… glamorous.” He coughed a little bit, but would smile nonetheless to show that he was indeed fine.
“Ahh, Stella. What a nice name.” The warrior would go ahead and say, chuckling. “And what a coincidence, for I am also here in search of something important. I won’t pry on what it is that you seek however, for whatever it is must be vastly important compared to mine.” He said with a sort of half bow, which took a great amount of power for him to do because doing so nearly caused him to fall forward. Whatever the Lunarian is doing here on the planet, he didn’t want to bother in asking what it is, respecting whatever she had to do. Whether it be a request from Luna or something else, it’s best to respect a Lunarian’s privacy, especially if it’s in public. “I do hope you repay it soon, fair maiden.” After that was said and done, he would turn towards Suri and smile, nodding. “Hyperion. My name is Hyperion. Nice to meet you, Suri.”
Hyperion would glance towards Stella whenever she went and turned away, pulling out a device and holding it up to her hear. It appeared that she was talking to someone, so he decided to not eavesdrop on what she was saying. Luckily the majin would ask him a question, albeit a silly one in his viewpoint. “I am a warrior, yes. As for your question on whether or not it’s my job, I must say no. It’s more of a… hobby, if you can describe it as such. I do it willingly, expecting no pay whatsoever. I am a warrior of moonlight, and my purpose is to… smite those who are deemed wicked. There is currently a war going on in the galaxy and I must put a stop to it, though I am also in search for something far more personal.” He wouldn’t go into detail on what it was, going silent. Hyperion would nod though whenever she pointed at the sheath on his hip, chuckling. “Of course. I apologize for that, for I’m still gathering my bearings.” The Lunarian would go ahead remove the sheath from his hip, handing it towards the majin so that she could slide the blade into it. The sheath itself was made of wood from what it felt like, though it was painted black just like how the blade was. It had some markings and whatnot scattered across the sheath, even having what appeared to be some drawings, the one mostly sticking out being the Great Mother Moth.
Soon afterwards, something would suddenly approach the three. Hyperion was just about to snatch his blade away from the majin, the only thing preventing him was a person stepping out of the ‘metal beast’. Hyperion blinked a couple of times in confusion, looking towards Stella before nodding. “Yes, let us… be off?” It appeared that Suri was fascinated by whatever this thing was, which must meant that this creature must be of great importance. Slowly, the Lunarian would join the majin, sitting down besides her and glancing around. “What… is this? Is it some sort of creature? I’ve never seen something like this before.” The Lunarian would go ahead and ask after Suri. Whatever this thing was, it was quite comfortable… veeeeery comfortable. “Is it not a creature..?”

Stella chuckled a little at both Hyperion and Suri’s reaction to the limousine. Perhaps she should have asked for something a little more low key. It was too late for that now. Sitting inside with the other two, the driver simply closed the door once they were all comfortably seated and moved around to the front. She couldn’t blame Suri for her curiosity. From what she understood, this was rather luxurious for a vehicle. Once they were off, Stella turned to Suri to answer her question.
“I don’t mind at all. I serve as a personal assistant and bodyguard to Jinn, the founder and CEO of Evil Incorporated. Um… I think we manufacture something very healthy for Earth’s environment. I’m afraid I’m not too knowledgeable about that.”
She turned to Hyperion next and gestured to the vehicle that they were all riding in.
“No, this is a vehicle. Instead of being propelled by ki, it is propelled by… um… something else.”
Stella frowned thoughtfully. Jinn had explained it to her once, but it had been in a barrage of information, so the details escaped her. She turned to Suri, hoping that the Earthling majin could explain it a bit better or correct her on her mistakes. She didn’t want to give Hyperion the wrong idea about anything. A quick glance past Suri to the tinted window beyond let her know that they were nearing their destination. She could see the Jackal’s signature features even from here. Not much longer and they’d have Hyperion out of that dreadfully heavy armor. Ah, but for now.
“Mm, but Suri, what do you do for a job? I have to admit to some curiosity. Where I’m from, people tend to practice the family trade. My family’s craft was silk weaving, for example.”
As she waited for an answer, they pulled up by the private entrance that Jinn usually used when he wanted to be covert. The driver got out first and walked around to their door, opening it with a bit of a bow to its occupants. Stella felt a little uncomfortable with being treated as though she were someone of great importance or even nobility.
“We have arrived, Miss.”

Suri PL: 3,000
Luckily, the moth male introduced himself as Hyperion, so Suri had something to call the both of them now. "Ms. Stella and Mr. Hyperion..."
The answer to Suri's question was what she had expected, mostly. Hyperion was indeed a warrior, but out of hobby. He said that his duty was to punish evil. "So, you do hero stuff as a hobby? That's really cool! I wish I had a cool hobby like that... Well, I hope you successfully stop the evil that's out there. This 'galactic war' you mentioned is...worrying. A-And I hope you find what you're looking for!" Whatever that was, he didn't say.
Hyperion allowed Suri to sheathe the sword. "No, it's okay. You must be really tired, and...I can't think straight when I'm tired, either." Suri sheathed the sword and looked at it. The sheath was the same color as the blade, but from the wooden texture, Suri could tell that it was made of a different material. Mysterious looking markings and drawings were on the sheath, including a big moth. 'Of course.' Suri couldn't help but smile. The sheath was even prettier!
When the limo came, Hyperion's reaction seemed a bit...off. He wasn't as amazed as Suri was. Suri thought that maybe he had seen many before, to the point that he was completely unfazed. Suri, on the other hand, was making it very obvious that she was amazed by this.
Inside the limo, they had planty to talk about, since it seemed like both Suri and Hyperion had questions. For Suri's question, Stella had the answer.'Personal assistant and bodyguard? Wow...' "You must be strong, just like Hyperion! Right? Bodyguard, what an awesome sounding job to have. I wish I had a job...like that..." Suri attempted to make it unclear as to whether she had a job or not, and she hoped to make it sound like she had one, but still envied Stella's cool job. The corporation Stella was working for was named 'Evil Incorporated' despite actually doing something good for the Earth, apparantly. Suri couldn't help but smile at that irony. "Jinn, CEO of Evil Incorporated, huh...cool. I'll be sure to look for him online later, when I have the time." After all, Suri was curious about both the company and the person Stella worked for.
When Hyperion asked his question to Suri, his confusion earlier started to make sense to her. Apparantly, Hyperion didn't know what cars were. He called it a 'creature', which was kinda...cute. Stella answered for Suri, but Suri wasn't sure if it was enough for Hyperion to understand, and Stella...maybe she wasn't sure either? "...Mmm, well. Yes, this is a type of vehicle that people ride, to go places. It would be categorized as a land vehicle known as a 'car', just like those ones." Suri pointed at the cars that could be seen outside the window. "They're very common on Earth. As for the fuel, hmm...I'm not sure what type of engine this one uses, but from what I can tell, it seems like it's powered by burning gasoline, which is a...burnable liquid. The engine basically...blows the gasoline up, like a small explosion, which creates the energy that powers the car." Suri wasn't that knowledgeable about cars either, she just hoped that they had a basic understanding now.
Oh boy. Stella asked back what Suri's job was. "I...I don't...uhm. This is kinda embarrassing, but I don't have one, yet! I'm currently travelling the world to 'find myself', and that includes what I'll do as a job in the future. Silk weaving...? That sounds nice. Hmm...wait, that's a great idea! I could try working for one of my relatives...I'll have to ask them when I get the chance." Suri didn't write it down, or anything, merely making a mental note to herself.
Suri, while she was talking, realized that they pulled up to some kind of entrance. When they stopped, the driver walked out and opened the door. Suri waited for both Stella and Hyperion to get off before joining them outside, with the sheathed sword in hand. "Ms. Stella, what is this place? Is it where you live?" Wherever this was, Suri would follow them, treading carefully.
