To those who know the truth, it would seem a little odd that the star child is wishing on a shooting star overhead. Sirius' obsidian black eyes sparkle as something is murmured under their breath.

It's not the magic of stars being able to grant wishes. Sirius has yet to discover their own wish-granting magic, but they can help in other little ways. The stars that still travel are much like that too.

Maybe the star heard the whisper as it whizzed by overhead. Maybe it doesn't know how to help, but it might be able to think about it and send good thoughts to help the wish come true.

Or maybe all those shooting stars need someone like Sirius down there, who could reach out with a smile and ask "how can I help make that dream come true?".

After all, what are stars if not guiding lights toward a better tomorrow?

Gentle reminder that there is nothing wrong with talking to and wishing on stars. 

They are kind. They are millions of years old and will gladly sit and listen to your every word. Even after they are gone they will still remain for centuries more, watching over you as your guiding light. The stars are your friend, your confidants. Talk to them, they will listen.

“Wait, what? You…nearly fell into a black hole?” What exactly was this kid doing up there? What could have distracted them so much that they nearly fell into a black hole?

“Surely if there was a black hole, there were more things up there… What all did you see? How long were you in space? Was it pretty up there?”

For all he knew, the other may not have remembered any of it. That obviously wasn’t enough to stop him from bombarding them with questions.

Relief lit up the child’s face as the topic changed to something they could actually talk about.

“I didn’t know it was a black hole at the time. All I knew was that there was this big darkness that made the lights around it look funny. It...” The star paused to tug Cam’s sleeve sharply to try and mimic the sensation. “I nearly couldn’t leave.” As for the news about how long they were up there, Sirius frowned.

“I’ve only been here for one earth year. I don’t know how old I am, but the rest was... Up there. I saw lots of things.”

Even if Sirius spent years exploring space, they aren’t that educated in the matters of space. A lot of the terminology and definitions are made by humans. If you want to find out something based on the star’s experiences, you’ll need to be able to describe it or show a photo, especially if it’s something more obscure.

Since Mark was busy with work out of town, Sirius was spending the night with Damien. The TV was on in the background as the star occupied himself with one of the Mayor’s many therapeutic colouring books. After a few minutes, their gaze lifted to the TV with a frown.

“Why do humans always argue and bicker?”

“It’s a job where people don’t always agree, Sirius. When people disagree, they tend to argue to try and determine what is the ‘right’ thing to do.”

“But I thought you said it was better to listen and know what the other thinks! They aren’t listening!”

“I do wish others would remember that in my profession. Some like to take the ‘I speak louder than you’ approach.”

There was a brief pause before the channel was changed. Let’s enjoy something more peaceful tonight.

Blink, blink.

Andro-what? Which one was that again? That original plan sounds so much better!

“I nearly fell into a black hole one time before I came here.”

Nailed it.

Sirius - @actuallyastar​

The child’s eyes shone brightly as he spoke. Astro admired them, listening to the boy. ‘Are you able to smile a lot normally?’ What a strange question from a little kid. Then again, kids usually were pretty strange. Perhaps this one was just an old soul trapped in a small body. He brushes the awkward question off quite easily.

“Hmm..” he thinks, “Come to think of it, I do smile quite a bit.” He runs his hands through his hair and leans back a bit. “Its probably weird to see a grown-up smile a lot, huh?” he asks, jokingly.

He looks past the boy and glances around the barren antique store. No one else was there except for the bored-looking cashier. “Where is your family, little one?” he asks with another small grin.

The beauty about exploring was the ability to meet others in the city, but there was more there that. Sure, there was the curiosity of what people actually did from day to day, but people were deeper than that! They had thousands of thoughts bouncing around their heads! For the young star, that was fascinating! Not only that, the adult co-operated and gave an honest answer. 

“No, it’s great! Mark smiles a lot too. He likes to laugh too.” Their train of thought was cut off by the way the adult looked elsewhere. The child mimicked the action, trying to see what did - or didn’t - catch the adult’s attention.

“Oh!” Their head whipped around to address the question. As they did, the purple in their hair seemed to have a brief sparkle, like stars in a distant nebula. Or was that a trick of the light? “Mark - my ‘minder’ - isn’t here. He’s working at home, but he lets me explore whenever I want.” There was a pause, before they added with a frown, “Why?”

Eventual mission is to redraw Sirius to give a more accurate expectation of what they look like.

Everyone was always fascinated with needing the “new and best” of things. That was something Sirius had learned. So then, why were there stores like this? The young star looked rather confused as they examined an old tea set through a glass cabinet. Why buy something old when you could get the “new and best”?

Movement caught their attention, and everything seemed to still for a moment. They hadn’t noticed anyone else in the shop aside from the person working there, but there was something strange about them. For reasons Sirius couldn’t possibly explain, they felt drawn to approach. The thought didn’t cross their mind that watching a stranger would be ‘creepy’, but it was worth it when the other smiled, followed by a response to their comment. Their black eyes sparkled like jewels as they grinned up at the stranger.

“My name’s Sirius. Are you able to smile a lot normally?” If there was one thing they learned, it was that humans didn’t smile enough. They always had a lot of stress and worries weighing them down. The star felt sorry for them.

Why Two Completely Different Looks?

The two human forms Sirius has adopted since landing on earth are vastly different for a reason. 

The original adult look is based nearly entirely on the first human they interacted with - Mark. As a result, bar their own traits, they’re almost a shorter replica of him when they stand at five foot four.

On the other hand, the normal look (the child) is their attempt to create an appearance that was different from anyone Sirius had met before this. While one would see some snippets of familiarity with Mark, there is no longer an obvious ‘related’ connection. In a way, it’s an attempt to be their own individual in a way they are trying to understand.
