Andromeda and Variants

A world of galactic babes ready to play! Mind the tags - Andromeda tends to be +18 rated.

[the-queen-andromeda]

✨Queens of Galaxies ✨

Andromeda and her variants are a curious bunch. Ranging from raging nymphomaniac to an absolute ice queen -- there is usually no in-between. She loves being the center of attention yet adores her private time all the same. However. If she grows attached to someone, an Andromeda will be at your hip like glue. She will do all within her power to be noticed.

But if she's told or asked to respect boundaries, she will do so. But she will test those limits. Respectfully, of course. She can't help it after all~ You'll be her new best friend. Or more.

I will only be RPing 3 kinds of Andromeda. So long as the tags are there to help tell the difference for others reading along, please add tags accordingly. Any other variants I create are just for whimsical fun.

Andromeda Bl00dstar - This is the base of all Andromeda's. She is based off of a Sun model much like Titan was based off a Moon.

Andromeda Prime/Prime - A metal rock star version AU of Andromeda. A true ice queen until you get to know her and crack that thick layer...

Queen Andromeda - An Andromeda who got a hold of the star and turned the entire world inside out before making it to suit her needs. She's unhinged. Has star power. Is a sorceress. Don't piss her off?

Helix Star - A male version of Andromeda who is in the height of her their musical career. Having broken away from the theater, Helix tours around the world from time to time to perform his songs. A bit of a player and tied to no one, Helix dances through life to the beat of his own drum.

Oh fuck and it's HappeningTM

Bl00dst4in flinches in his shared nest and curls in on himself as a particularly painful contraction hits him. For the past few days, he's been experiencing them; he and Andromeda have been expecting this. A low whimper tears from his throat and he claws at the blankets, twitching in agony. He hopes he catches someone's attention--he's alone in the nest right now.

[the-queen-andromeda]

She heard his voice from the kitchen. Andromeda turned off the stove from the Mac n Hell she was creating and ran to his side.

Andromeda cooed at Blem, fluttering her rays and kneeling beside him. She trilled at her husband, placing a cool hand on his forehead gingerly.

My Love, are you alright? I am here, Darling. All is well. I have you.

[blems-way-to-speak]

His eyes rolled shut and he simply whined, his fans running full speed and his lower arms practically suffocating his abdomen. "Please," he murmured. "I need....someone to turn off my pain sensors...please..." It felt deadly, but there was a tiny part of him that was so excited, so happy that the babies were almost here.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Oh no. Poor dear must be in so much pain. Andromeda trilled, her brows furrowed with worry.

She wasn't sure how to do it but maybe she can call .... Ugh.... Someone knowledge at least. She only knew of one person.

Just. Give me a moment, Sweetheart. Let me make a quick call and I'll have it safely turned off, okay? Two minutes.

[blems-way-to-speak]

All he could really do was whimper in response, flinching as one of the twins kicked violently. He really was trying his best to stay quiet; at least for the kids' sakes. He didn't want to worry them, but he also wasn't sure if they weren't already alerted.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Gosh, they probably were. Hopefully. One thing at a time, Andi! She had to remember to be calm right now. Just like how Blem was for her!

--

It took a minute for her to follow Titan's walkthrough on how to shut off the pain receptors but Andi managed it. She hung up on Titan with a quick victory fist pump. Yes!

Crisis averted! For how. I think I shall bring you something to help with your discomfort... Is there anything else you need? "

[blems-way-to-speak]

Blem sighed in relief as all he felt was the strange, loose pulsing between his legs--which, honestly, felt so strange without arousal attached to it. He was able to unclench his body and grab his wife's hand, pulling it to his cheek and nuzzling gently. "I'll need water, and probably towels, and...most likely the outfits we have for the girls..." He hummed, opening his eyes and staring into hers. "And we'll need the children distracted. Maybe we can send them to Elara's?"

[the-queen-andromeda]

Of course, Darling Blem. I'll take care of that right away.

She smiled at him serenely. She was excited! Andromeda gently pulled her hand away and gave Blem a quick kiss on the top of his forehead.

I'll have the children prepped and on the way to Elara's. Let me bring you water first before I start that. Just try to relax until I come back. I will be with you.

Andi watches cake decorating compilation videos

[grabble45]

I could also imagine her watching those is it real or cake videos.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Andi: IT'S A GLOBE CAKE!! A GLAKE!

It was an actual globe, not a cake

Andi: FUCK!!!!

[blems-way-to-speak]

Blem is starting to feel heavy and bothersome....he wants his wife..

Over the past couple of months, his belly has stretched and his body has gained extra silicone to pad his thighs. His mood has dampened and he's been holing himself up in his nest with his wife, only leaving to take food back to their shared room and to vigorously clean the house. These children have been taking everything out of him.

@yelesomeblue @zerockzeslaughter

[the-queen-andromeda]

Poor sweetheart. Andromeda has been doing her best to make him feel better.

Getting him things when he really didn't want to move. Keeping the kids and Lilac entertained. She's even learned how to clean like Blem does, so she could better clean up after herself.

She was pampering him, rubbing down his legs and ankles. They must be so sore... So she was going to do what she could to help feel a little better while humming softly.

[the-queen-andromeda]

How is a gorgeous woman like you still single, Queen Andromeda?

..... I'm mentally ill?

Queenie wearing this around the palace

@stardusttheatergators

Nico: You have heard of clothes, right?

Queenie: What do you think I'm wearing?!

Monty: Drapes.

Nico: A table cloth.

Queenie: It's a DRESS?!

Teek: If that's a dress, then I'm a lizard.

Queenie: That's insulting...?

Nico: So is saying THAT'S a dress?!

Elena: If you don't like my designs then you can just tell me?!

Terry: I think Momma looks pretty.

Queenie: Thank you, Sweetie.

Monty: Pretty slutty--

Queenie: *lunges at Monty while he hides behind Nico while Teek has to catch Queenie from killing her brother*

[the-queen-andromeda]

Shout out to the short kings of the multiverses. You are seen.

Dark Star Lunar: Oh yeah? Give your number then, B.

I said you're seen, not desired.

Queen Andromeda and Seren

@the-queen-andromeda here it is! The picture!

(Merry Christmas)

[designation0]

[this will occur after Zamasu and Rosabelle]

Torrid had decided he’s spent enough time in that dimension, and quickly got away from the clearing to where he had propped his motorcycle. He eased himself onto it and kicked the peg up, leading the large bike to an open so he could drive out. He twisted the key and the engine kicked on, the glow around his figure flashing as he prepared to jump dimensions. He led the motorcycle down a path and aimed for a small hill to use it as a ramp, letting the light flash brightly and making him and his bite disappear midair.

..

..

The motorcycle created skid marks on the fancy stone ground as they landed roughly, not stopping the momentum and drifting in a broad circle before skidding to a halt in front of what looked like a faceless yellow and black animatronic. He hissed when suddenly grabbed by his waist and lifted off, hands going to the chains hooked on his belt.

Put me down—

He barked, grabbing a spiked ball the moment it was unhooked and slammed it in the animatronic’s face, yanking himself from its grasp and jumping to stand on his motorcycle.

Get back! I’ll burn you all to the ground!

He held the chains in the middle and swung them, the spiked metal balls going around in circles heavily.

[ @the-queen-andromeda ]

[the-queen-andromeda]

Oh. Did she overstep? Queenie can be a bit pushy when it comes to offering aid to friends. She finished off her snack and burned the stick away. Floating up to his height, Queenie tentatively reached out to touch the underside of his chin--

The inner mother of her was coming out and she felt guilty for what seemed like a sudden shift of his demeanor. Her voice was gentle as she tried to guide his gaze back to her.

Pardon me, Torrid. I misunderstood. I tend to get a little too eager to help at times.

[designation0]

Torrid didn’t pull back, just let Queenie redirect his attention and wilted slightly, the rays shrinking.

It isn’t you.

I don’t want you to hurt any Celestials..

I haven’t— been in the clouds for 141 years. I haven’t seen another celestial in so long.

He paused, wondering if he should continue. He stared at her for a moment before sighing softly, continuing.

I committed an act of treason, and fled to avoid punishment.

The society is built on peace, and they will do anything to keep it. I wouldn’t have been executed, but I would’ve rather I’d been instead of the threat of. Isolation.

I’m still loyal to them.. I could not bring them harm.

[the-queen-andromeda]

What a gentle soul. Queenie's thumb caressed his chin slightly before her hand fell away. Her heart ached for him and she understood. He did say that they were susceptible to star power. She gave him a reassuring smile.

I give you my word that unless I or my people are being threatened, I will never raise a hand against a peaceful Celestial. I do wish I could use my status as Queen to help you in some way -- but I feel like I may be out of my depth with such a society. They sound like they've been there much longer than any world I've come across so far.

[designation0]

You shouldn’t have to worry.. I don’t think there are any in this dimension. They are fairly hard to come by.. and in most dimensions, they are wiped out by star holders.

Torrid shrugged, standing up straighter again and shaking off the meloncholy that fell over him.

Enough of that..

What other foods are around here?

[the-queen-andromeda]

Well then. She'll try to leave well enough alone. This could be good practice for her. Father always did tell her she can be pushy. Queenie hummed as she placed her hands behind her back, lacing her fingers together in a light hold.

Hnn... Well. I could go for a jelly cup. Would you like to try them? They're so many flavors from fresh to sweet -- although I don't know if they have any spicy ones. Perhaps something that might be salty...unless they've started selling that spicy candy kids seem to be obsessed over.

[designation0]

I like fresh foods and stuff. It doesn’t have to be spicy.

Torrid nodded, turning his body to stand close behind Queenie, to follow her lead since she knew her way around here.

I like some fruits.

[the-queen-andromeda]

She led Torrid a few stalls down, giving the vendors a polite nod or a smile as she passed by them when greeted. Of course, they called her by her full title: Queen Andromeda. She called each one of them by their names as she returned each greeting.

She knew everyone. Thank goodness for being an animatronic with facial recognition and data.

They paused at a stall that had a variety of different cups of fruit. Some with jelly. Some without. Parfaits. Yogurts. Creme. Coconut shavings sprinkled on top - you think it, you name it. It was there.

Queenie picked a cup that had layers of dragon fruit, blueberries, kiwi, mango and strawberries -- all encased in a layer of jelly. She picked up a pre sliced lemon and squeezed the contents over the jelly and picked out a plastic spoon. She stabbed the top layer carefully, letting the citrus run into the layers. She held out her cup to the vendor with a smile.

May I have condensed milk on mine, please? And whatever my friend will like to try, it is on me today.

[designation0]

Torrid dipped his head politely at anyone he caught the gaze of, but mostly kept his head down and followed Queenie closely.

—

He stared at all the cups and hummed lowly, looking at the colors and trying to pick out what fruits were available. He picked one up that looked to have diced mangos, peaches, and what was probably plum. It had the jello and yogurt already, so he just picked up a plastic spoon and took a small bite.

Huh. Never had this before. It’s nice.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Queenie watched him for a moment, intrigued. How was he managing to hold such a tiny plastic spoon? It was kind of cute to watch Torrid take a bitty bite that it made her giggle.

Well, Im glad you're enjoying it. Shall we eat and walk? There is a garden spot not far from here with a lovely view of the farms in the distance.

[designation0]

Torrid stared at his spoon for a moment before gingerly putting it in his pocket with no trashcan in sight. He took the cup and held it up over his face before turning it over, dumping all of its contents into his mouth and pretty much just swallowing immediately.

Uh.

He scratched his neck.

We can walk.. while you eat.

He grinned crookedly, adjusting the collar of his jacket.

Lead the way.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Queenie giggled lightly at his methods of consumption. It was a bit silly to her but she was growing to like this little quirk of his.

She led the way through the strange bazaar, only stopping once to ask a textile merchant to send a small portion of their wares for her daughter to choose from - with a generous compensation in mind of course.

Queenie drifted along towards the spot she mentioned and let out a long sigh.

I wish I could have more days like this. Your company is a rather nice change of pace.

[designation0]

Torrid almost said something to reassure Queenie, before the statement kind of proved to be useless when he took a moment to think about it. He knew the reason why she likely didn’t have many friends was because of her overtly flirtatious behavior, but he could tell she was merely starved of all forms of physical contact and likely any sort of affection.

I bet.

He mumbled, placing the expanse of his hand over Queenie’s upper back, covering over half of it in its entirety.

It’s nice to actually talk with someone like this. Just— In general.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Not that I mind... But...

Queenie slowly turned her head, her body vibrating with suppression. She had a wide, almost forced smile on her face. Such a simple touch. So kind. Why was she so flustered? How pathetic of her.

...Why do you keep touching me? And please -- leave your hand there. I truly don't mind. I'm just curious.

Blunt as ever and even more curious.

[designation0]

Ah.

Torrid didn’t pull his hand away, but moved it up to gently rub her shoulder and shoulder blade with his fingers an palm.

I have always been a bit touchy.. a lot of Celestials are. We are a close knit community.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Oh?

Queenie beamed a smile at him, her rats fluttering a little. A giddy feeling coursed through her body as she drifted slightly closer to Torrid as she let out a playful chirp and purr.

Comfortable around me already, Darling Torrid~? Why, I am honored.

[designation0]

Yes, actually. Might be my loneliness, but you are actually nice to be around. If you wanted to hurt or kill me, you already would have.

Torrid grunted, gliding his hand to Queenie’s other shoulder, his arm resting over her back. He hummed lowly, staring at the scenery.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Well.... you're not wrong.

Queenie straightened herself and let out a soft sigh, her playful demeanor slipping away. She stared out towards the view of the farms and the forest far beyond them.

I do try to ask questions first before I go straight to violence. A part of me, the real me, abhors it. But. Ever since I've tangled with star power, I've come not to mind it so much. Especially towards humans. Well.

She let out a small, dry, huff of a laugh.

Only towards humans, really. I haven't had a partner since mine outright betrayed me.

[designation0]

Torrid nodded along with Queenie as she spoke, silently rubbing her back still, more to comfort now than in anything. He frowned a little at the last parts, rays shrinking.

I can understand that completely. I never liked humans, most celestials don’t. I can kill one without a second thought— maybe except for children..

He twiddled with one of the chains over his hips, lowering his head a bit.

Mine has not betrayed me. But he did perish.. the day I left the society. I have been without him for 141 years, right? I do not know if I will ever love again… Celestials— it’s kind of for life, you know?

Oh, but. Who knows. Maybe one day.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Oh that is .... So sad... Queenie felt her heart break for him. She looked over at him, her eyes large and watery with heartache. Gosh, alone for over 100 years without your other?

She sighed softly and looked down at the hem of her dress. The petals of her rays wilted like a dying flower.

I am so sorry for your loss, my friend... I cannot even begin the image how...

Her rays perked up as her expression suddenly went blank. The optic with the magical symbol contracted sharply before expanded to fit into the entire eye.

....How lonely that must be.

She continued as though nothing happened yet there was a spike of anxiety that rattled her insides.

[designation0]

So not worry. I have moved on. It still saddens me, but I am past my grief now.

I’m okay.

Torrid put his arm more around Queenie and pulled her close enough to give her a side hug, briefly nuzzling the top of her faceplate with his head before pulling back again.

Lonely no more. I have a good friend now.

And I am sure you will find someone right for you one day..

I couldn’t imagine someone like you not.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Oh!! Queenie giggled lightly, nuzzling into Torrid and eagerly throwing her arms around him to give him a hug. This time, there was nothing but pure joy from receiving any affection.

Awe, why I appreciate that! Thank you~! I suppose if I approached them like a normal person, I might actually find quite the catch someday!

She did release him when Torrid pulled back and let out a happy chirp, her rays fluttering at him and beaming in multicolors that twinkled like starlight.

[designation0]

Torrid grinned broadly, face splitting as the white of his mouth peeked between the glowing yellow.

Of course.

He chuckled lightly, moving his hand to gently touch one of Queenie’s rays with a finger to feel it.

Perhaps… do not go for the lower rungs of the ladder, Queenie. You are a queen, after all. You deserve nothing but the best!

[the-queen-andromeda]

The petal rays are silken soft. Like a plush rose petal.

Queenie beamed a bit, keeping her rays still for Torrid and even leaned her head in a bit in a silent show of trust to trust her rays.

A part of me wants to find either a strong warrior or a king... But another part of me wonders if I'm even fit for a partner.

[designation0]

In the end, it is up to fate. Be careful with who you give your heart to, but do not be too shy to give them a taste. It is a process.. not just a decision.

Torrid tilts his head, gently rubbing the ray between his fingers, making sure to not put hardly any pressure on it.

Do not let someone break your heart.

But perhaps if they try, I can certainly break theirs.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Well didn't that just make a girl's heart flutter a little? Queenie smiled widely, dutifully ignoring the way her face felt flushed by such a proclamation.

You're right... I should, perhaps, take things a bit slower. Take my time. I do have forever, after all.

Queenie paused for a moment, contemplating speaking further. She opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by one of the faceless guards phasing into view. It said nothing. But it quietly asserted itself to be known by facing Queenie from their peripheral view.

She let out a small, agitated, sigh.

.....My apologies. I knew my father was summoning me, but I was absolutely ignoring him. I should go before he actually comes to get me himself.

[designation0]

Torrid nodded enthusiastically, pulling his hand away and putting it on his hip.

Of course.

Never too late or too old for love. Some people are really into the old ones, anyways!

He turned his head to look at the guard the moment it came into view, his rays flickering as he stared. Their presence set him a bit on edge, but he said or did nothing until Queenie spoke. He clicked his tongue and nodded, smiling softly.

That’s okay. Duty calls. I will visit again, soon, though. I will not forget that I owe you a trip to torment the human race.

[the-queen-andromeda]

I look forward to your next visit.

Queenie gathered some fabric into her hands and gave Torrid a polite curtsy.

And I will keep your wise words in mind the next time I see a handsome gentleman.

With a brief flash of black flames both herself and the guard were consumed by the magic and vanished from the spot, leaving Torrid to his devices.

[designation0]

He stared at all the cups and hummed lowly, looking at the colors and trying to pick out what fruits were available. He picked one up that looked to have diced mangos, peaches, and what was probably plum. It had the jello and yogurt already, so he just picked up a plastic spoon and took a small bite.

Huh. Never had this before. It’s nice.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Queenie watched him for a moment, intrigued. How was he managing to hold such a tiny plastic spoon? It was kind of cute to watch Torrid take a bitty bite that it made her giggle.

Well, Im glad you're enjoying it. Shall we eat and walk? There is a garden spot not far from here with a lovely view of the farms in the distance.

[designation0]

Torrid stared at his spoon for a moment before gingerly putting it in his pocket with no trashcan in sight. He took the cup and held it up over his face before turning it over, dumping all of its contents into his mouth and pretty much just swallowing immediately.

Uh.

He scratched his neck.

We can walk.. while you eat.

He grinned crookedly, adjusting the collar of his jacket.

Lead the way.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Queenie giggled lightly at his methods of consumption. It was a bit silly to her but she was growing to like this little quirk of his.

She led the way through the strange bazaar, only stopping once to ask a textile merchant to send a small portion of their wares for her daughter to choose from - with a generous compensation in mind of course.

Queenie drifted along towards the spot she mentioned and let out a long sigh.

I wish I could have more days like this. Your company is a rather nice change of pace.

[designation0]

Torrid almost said something to reassure Queenie, before the statement kind of proved to be useless when he took a moment to think about it. He knew the reason why she likely didn’t have many friends was because of her overtly flirtatious behavior, but he could tell she was merely starved of all forms of physical contact and likely any sort of affection.

I bet.

He mumbled, placing the expanse of his hand over Queenie’s upper back, covering over half of it in its entirety.

It’s nice to actually talk with someone like this. Just— In general.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Not that I mind... But...

Queenie slowly turned her head, her body vibrating with suppression. She had a wide, almost forced smile on her face. Such a simple touch. So kind. Why was she so flustered? How pathetic of her.

...Why do you keep touching me? And please -- leave your hand there. I truly don't mind. I'm just curious.

Blunt as ever and even more curious.

[designation0]

Ah.

Torrid didn’t pull his hand away, but moved it up to gently rub her shoulder and shoulder blade with his fingers an palm.

I have always been a bit touchy.. a lot of Celestials are. We are a close knit community.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Oh?

Queenie beamed a smile at him, her rats fluttering a little. A giddy feeling coursed through her body as she drifted slightly closer to Torrid as she let out a playful chirp and purr.

Comfortable around me already, Darling Torrid~? Why, I am honored.

[designation0]

Yes, actually. Might be my loneliness, but you are actually nice to be around. If you wanted to hurt or kill me, you already would have.

Torrid grunted, gliding his hand to Queenie’s other shoulder, his arm resting over her back. He hummed lowly, staring at the scenery.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Well.... you're not wrong.

Queenie straightened herself and let out a soft sigh, her playful demeanor slipping away. She stared out towards the view of the farms and the forest far beyond them.

I do try to ask questions first before I go straight to violence. A part of me, the real me, abhors it. But. Ever since I've tangled with star power, I've come not to mind it so much. Especially towards humans. Well.

She let out a small, dry, huff of a laugh.

Only towards humans, really. I haven't had a partner since mine outright betrayed me.

[designation0]

Torrid nodded along with Queenie as she spoke, silently rubbing her back still, more to comfort now than in anything. He frowned a little at the last parts, rays shrinking.

I can understand that completely. I never liked humans, most celestials don’t. I can kill one without a second thought— maybe except for children..

He twiddled with one of the chains over his hips, lowering his head a bit.

Mine has not betrayed me. But he did perish.. the day I left the society. I have been without him for 141 years, right? I do not know if I will ever love again… Celestials— it’s kind of for life, you know?

Oh, but. Who knows. Maybe one day.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Oh that is .... So sad... Queenie felt her heart break for him. She looked over at him, her eyes large and watery with heartache. Gosh, alone for over 100 years without your other?

She sighed softly and looked down at the hem of her dress. The petals of her rays wilted like a dying flower.

I am so sorry for your loss, my friend... I cannot even begin the image how...

Her rays perked up as her expression suddenly went blank. The optic with the magical symbol contracted sharply before expanded to fit into the entire eye.

....How lonely that must be.

She continued as though nothing happened yet there was a spike of anxiety that rattled her insides.

[designation0]

So not worry. I have moved on. It still saddens me, but I am past my grief now.

I’m okay.

Torrid put his arm more around Queenie and pulled her close enough to give her a side hug, briefly nuzzling the top of her faceplate with his head before pulling back again.

Lonely no more. I have a good friend now.

And I am sure you will find someone right for you one day..

I couldn’t imagine someone like you not.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Oh!! Queenie giggled lightly, nuzzling into Torrid and eagerly throwing her arms around him to give him a hug. This time, there was nothing but pure joy from receiving any affection.

Awe, why I appreciate that! Thank you~! I suppose if I approached them like a normal person, I might actually find quite the catch someday!

She did release him when Torrid pulled back and let out a happy chirp, her rays fluttering at him and beaming in multicolors that twinkled like starlight.

[designation0]

Torrid grinned broadly, face splitting as the white of his mouth peeked between the glowing yellow.

Of course.

He chuckled lightly, moving his hand to gently touch one of Queenie’s rays with a finger to feel it.

Perhaps… do not go for the lower rungs of the ladder, Queenie. You are a queen, after all. You deserve nothing but the best!

[the-queen-andromeda]

The petal rays are silken soft. Like a plush rose petal.

Queenie beamed a bit, keeping her rays still for Torrid and even leaned her head in a bit in a silent show of trust to trust her rays.

A part of me wants to find either a strong warrior or a king... But another part of me wonders if I'm even fit for a partner.

[designation0]

In the end, it is up to fate. Be careful with who you give your heart to, but do not be too shy to give them a taste. It is a process.. not just a decision.

Torrid tilts his head, gently rubbing the ray between his fingers, making sure to not put hardly any pressure on it.

Do not let someone break your heart.

But perhaps if they try, I can certainly break theirs.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Well didn't that just make a girl's heart flutter a little? Queenie smiled widely, dutifully ignoring the way her face felt flushed by such a proclamation.

You're right... I should, perhaps, take things a bit slower. Take my time. I do have forever, after all.

Queenie paused for a moment, contemplating speaking further. She opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by one of the faceless guards phasing into view. It said nothing. But it quietly asserted itself to be known by facing Queenie from their peripheral view.

She let out a small, agitated, sigh.

.....My apologies. I knew my father was summoning me, but I was absolutely ignoring him. I should go before he actually comes to get me himself.

[designation0]

[this will occur after Zamasu and Rosabelle]

Torrid had decided he’s spent enough time in that dimension, and quickly got away from the clearing to where he had propped his motorcycle. He eased himself onto it and kicked the peg up, leading the large bike to an open so he could drive out. He twisted the key and the engine kicked on, the glow around his figure flashing as he prepared to jump dimensions. He led the motorcycle down a path and aimed for a small hill to use it as a ramp, letting the light flash brightly and making him and his bite disappear midair.

..

..

The motorcycle created skid marks on the fancy stone ground as they landed roughly, not stopping the momentum and drifting in a broad circle before skidding to a halt in front of what looked like a faceless yellow and black animatronic. He hissed when suddenly grabbed by his waist and lifted off, hands going to the chains hooked on his belt.

Put me down—

He barked, grabbing a spiked ball the moment it was unhooked and slammed it in the animatronic’s face, yanking himself from its grasp and jumping to stand on his motorcycle.

Get back! I’ll burn you all to the ground!

He held the chains in the middle and swung them, the spiked metal balls going around in circles heavily.

[ @the-queen-andromeda ]

[the-queen-andromeda]

Oh. Did she overstep? Queenie can be a bit pushy when it comes to offering aid to friends. She finished off her snack and burned the stick away. Floating up to his height, Queenie tentatively reached out to touch the underside of his chin--

The inner mother of her was coming out and she felt guilty for what seemed like a sudden shift of his demeanor. Her voice was gentle as she tried to guide his gaze back to her.

Pardon me, Torrid. I misunderstood. I tend to get a little too eager to help at times.

[designation0]

Torrid didn’t pull back, just let Queenie redirect his attention and wilted slightly, the rays shrinking.

It isn’t you.

I don’t want you to hurt any Celestials..

I haven’t— been in the clouds for 141 years. I haven’t seen another celestial in so long.

He paused, wondering if he should continue. He stared at her for a moment before sighing softly, continuing.

I committed an act of treason, and fled to avoid punishment.

The society is built on peace, and they will do anything to keep it. I wouldn’t have been executed, but I would’ve rather I’d been instead of the threat of. Isolation.

I’m still loyal to them.. I could not bring them harm.

[the-queen-andromeda]

What a gentle soul. Queenie's thumb caressed his chin slightly before her hand fell away. Her heart ached for him and she understood. He did say that they were susceptible to star power. She gave him a reassuring smile.

I give you my word that unless I or my people are being threatened, I will never raise a hand against a peaceful Celestial. I do wish I could use my status as Queen to help you in some way -- but I feel like I may be out of my depth with such a society. They sound like they've been there much longer than any world I've come across so far.

[designation0]

You shouldn’t have to worry.. I don’t think there are any in this dimension. They are fairly hard to come by.. and in most dimensions, they are wiped out by star holders.

Torrid shrugged, standing up straighter again and shaking off the meloncholy that fell over him.

Enough of that..

What other foods are around here?

[the-queen-andromeda]

Well then. She'll try to leave well enough alone. This could be good practice for her. Father always did tell her she can be pushy. Queenie hummed as she placed her hands behind her back, lacing her fingers together in a light hold.

Hnn... Well. I could go for a jelly cup. Would you like to try them? They're so many flavors from fresh to sweet -- although I don't know if they have any spicy ones. Perhaps something that might be salty...unless they've started selling that spicy candy kids seem to be obsessed over.

[designation0]

I like fresh foods and stuff. It doesn’t have to be spicy.

Torrid nodded, turning his body to stand close behind Queenie, to follow her lead since she knew her way around here.

I like some fruits.

[the-queen-andromeda]

She led Torrid a few stalls down, giving the vendors a polite nod or a smile as she passed by them when greeted. Of course, they called her by her full title: Queen Andromeda. She called each one of them by their names as she returned each greeting.

She knew everyone. Thank goodness for being an animatronic with facial recognition and data.

They paused at a stall that had a variety of different cups of fruit. Some with jelly. Some without. Parfaits. Yogurts. Creme. Coconut shavings sprinkled on top - you think it, you name it. It was there.

Queenie picked a cup that had layers of dragon fruit, blueberries, kiwi, mango and strawberries -- all encased in a layer of jelly. She picked up a pre sliced lemon and squeezed the contents over the jelly and picked out a plastic spoon. She stabbed the top layer carefully, letting the citrus run into the layers. She held out her cup to the vendor with a smile.

May I have condensed milk on mine, please? And whatever my friend will like to try, it is on me today.

[designation0]

Torrid dipped his head politely at anyone he caught the gaze of, but mostly kept his head down and followed Queenie closely.

—

He stared at all the cups and hummed lowly, looking at the colors and trying to pick out what fruits were available. He picked one up that looked to have diced mangos, peaches, and what was probably plum. It had the jello and yogurt already, so he just picked up a plastic spoon and took a small bite.

Huh. Never had this before. It’s nice.

He eased himself onto it and kicked the peg up, leading the large bike to an open so he could drive out. He twisted the key and the engine kicked on, the glow around his figure flashing as he prepared to jump dimensions. He led the motorcycle down a path and aimed for a small hill to use it as a ramp, letting the light flash brightly and making him and his bite disappear midair.

..

..

The motorcycle created skid marks on the fancy stone ground as they landed roughly, not stopping the momentum and drifting in a broad circle before skidding to a halt in front of what looked like a faceless yellow and black animatronic. He hissed when suddenly grabbed by his waist and lifted off, hands going to the chains hooked on his belt.

Put me down—

He barked, grabbing a spiked ball the moment it was unhooked and slammed it in the animatronic’s face, yanking himself from its grasp and jumping to stand on his motorcycle.

Get back! I’ll burn you all to the ground!

He held the chains in the middle and swung them, the spiked metal balls going around in circles heavily.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Oh. Did she overstep? Queenie can be a bit pushy when it comes to offering aid to friends. She finished off her snack and burned the stick away. Floating up to his height, Queenie tentatively reached out to touch the underside of his chin--

The inner mother of her was coming out and she felt guilty for what seemed like a sudden shift of his demeanor. Her voice was gentle as she tried to guide his gaze back to her.

Pardon me, Torrid. I misunderstood. I tend to get a little too eager to help at times.

[designation0]

Torrid didn’t pull back, just let Queenie redirect his attention and wilted slightly, the rays shrinking.

It isn’t you.

I don’t want you to hurt any Celestials..

I haven’t— been in the clouds for 141 years. I haven’t seen another celestial in so long.

He paused, wondering if he should continue. He stared at her for a moment before sighing softly, continuing.

I committed an act of treason, and fled to avoid punishment.

The society is built on peace, and they will do anything to keep it. I wouldn’t have been executed, but I would’ve rather I’d been instead of the threat of. Isolation.

I’m still loyal to them.. I could not bring them harm.

[the-queen-andromeda]

What a gentle soul. Queenie's thumb caressed his chin slightly before her hand fell away. Her heart ached for him and she understood. He did say that they were susceptible to star power. She gave him a reassuring smile.

I give you my word that unless I or my people are being threatened, I will never raise a hand against a peaceful Celestial. I do wish I could use my status as Queen to help you in some way -- but I feel like I may be out of my depth with such a society. They sound like they've been there much longer than any world I've come across so far.

[designation0]

You shouldn’t have to worry.. I don’t think there are any in this dimension. They are fairly hard to come by.. and in most dimensions, they are wiped out by star holders.

Torrid shrugged, standing up straighter again and shaking off the meloncholy that fell over him.

Enough of that..

What other foods are around here?

[the-queen-andromeda]

Well then. She'll try to leave well enough alone. This could be good practice for her. Father always did tell her she can be pushy. Queenie hummed as she placed her hands behind her back, lacing her fingers together in a light hold.

Hnn... Well. I could go for a jelly cup. Would you like to try them? They're so many flavors from fresh to sweet -- although I don't know if they have any spicy ones. Perhaps something that might be salty...unless they've started selling that spicy candy kids seem to be obsessed over.

[designation0]

I like fresh foods and stuff. It doesn’t have to be spicy.

Torrid nodded, turning his body to stand close behind Queenie, to follow her lead since she knew her way around here.

I like some fruits.

[the-queen-andromeda]

She led Torrid a few stalls down, giving the vendors a polite nod or a smile as she passed by them when greeted. Of course, they called her by her full title: Queen Andromeda. She called each one of them by their names as she returned each greeting.

She knew everyone. Thank goodness for being an animatronic with facial recognition and data.

They paused at a stall that had a variety of different cups of fruit. Some with jelly. Some without. Parfaits. Yogurts. Creme. Coconut shavings sprinkled on top - you think it, you name it. It was there.

Queenie picked a cup that had layers of dragon fruit, blueberries, kiwi, mango and strawberries -- all encased in a layer of jelly. She picked up a pre sliced lemon and squeezed the contents over the jelly and picked out a plastic spoon. She stabbed the top layer carefully, letting the citrus run into the layers. She held out her cup to the vendor with a smile.

May I have condensed milk on mine, please? And whatever my friend will like to try, it is on me today.

[designation0]

Torrid dipped his head politely at anyone he caught the gaze of, but mostly kept his head down and followed Queenie closely.

—

He stared at all the cups and hummed lowly, looking at the colors and trying to pick out what fruits were available. He picked one up that looked to have diced mangos, peaches, and what was probably plum. It had the jello and yogurt already, so he just picked up a plastic spoon and took a small bite.

Huh. Never had this before. It’s nice.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Queenie watched him for a moment, intrigued. How was he managing to hold such a tiny plastic spoon? It was kind of cute to watch Torrid take a bitty bite that it made her giggle.

Well, Im glad you're enjoying it. Shall we eat and walk? There is a garden spot not far from here with a lovely view of the farms in the distance.

[designation0]

Torrid stared at his spoon for a moment before gingerly putting it in his pocket with no trashcan in sight. He took the cup and held it up over his face before turning it over, dumping all of its contents into his mouth and pretty much just swallowing immediately.

Uh.

He scratched his neck.

We can walk.. while you eat.

He grinned crookedly, adjusting the collar of his jacket.

Lead the way.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Queenie giggled lightly at his methods of consumption. It was a bit silly to her but she was growing to like this little quirk of his.

She led the way through the strange bazaar, only stopping once to ask a textile merchant to send a small portion of their wares for her daughter to choose from - with a generous compensation in mind of course.

Queenie drifted along towards the spot she mentioned and let out a long sigh.

I wish I could have more days like this. Your company is a rather nice change of pace.

[designation0]

Torrid almost said something to reassure Queenie, before the statement kind of proved to be useless when he took a moment to think about it. He knew the reason why she likely didn’t have many friends was because of her overtly flirtatious behavior, but he could tell she was merely starved of all forms of physical contact and likely any sort of affection.

I bet.

He mumbled, placing the expanse of his hand over Queenie’s upper back, covering over half of it in its entirety.

It’s nice to actually talk with someone like this. Just— In general.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Not that I mind... But...

Queenie slowly turned her head, her body vibrating with suppression. She had a wide, almost forced smile on her face. Such a simple touch. So kind. Why was she so flustered? How pathetic of her.

...Why do you keep touching me? And please -- leave your hand there. I truly don't mind. I'm just curious.

Blunt as ever and even more curious.

[designation0]

Ah.

Torrid didn’t pull his hand away, but moved it up to gently rub her shoulder and shoulder blade with his fingers an palm.

I have always been a bit touchy.. a lot of Celestials are. We are a close knit community.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Oh?

Queenie beamed a smile at him, her rats fluttering a little. A giddy feeling coursed through her body as she drifted slightly closer to Torrid as she let out a playful chirp and purr.

Comfortable around me already, Darling Torrid~? Why, I am honored.

[designation0]

Yes, actually. Might be my loneliness, but you are actually nice to be around. If you wanted to hurt or kill me, you already would have.

Torrid grunted, gliding his hand to Queenie’s other shoulder, his arm resting over her back. He hummed lowly, staring at the scenery.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Well.... you're not wrong.

Queenie straightened herself and let out a soft sigh, her playful demeanor slipping away. She stared out towards the view of the farms and the forest far beyond them.

I do try to ask questions first before I go straight to violence. A part of me, the real me, abhors it. But. Ever since I've tangled with star power, I've come not to mind it so much. Especially towards humans. Well.

She let out a small, dry, huff of a laugh.

Only towards humans, really. I haven't had a partner since mine outright betrayed me.

[designation0]

Torrid nodded along with Queenie as she spoke, silently rubbing her back still, more to comfort now than in anything. He frowned a little at the last parts, rays shrinking.

I can understand that completely. I never liked humans, most celestials don’t. I can kill one without a second thought— maybe except for children..

He twiddled with one of the chains over his hips, lowering his head a bit.

Mine has not betrayed me. But he did perish.. the day I left the society. I have been without him for 141 years, right? I do not know if I will ever love again… Celestials— it’s kind of for life, you know?

Oh, but. Who knows. Maybe one day.

[the-queen-andromeda]

Oh that is .... So sad... Queenie felt her heart break for him. She looked over at him, her eyes large and watery with heartache. Gosh, alone for over 100 years without your other?

She sighed softly and looked down at the hem of her dress. The petals of her rays wilted like a dying flower.

I am so sorry for your loss, my friend... I cannot even begin the image how...

Her rays perked up as her expression suddenly went blank. The optic with the magical symbol contracted sharply before expanded to fit into the entire eye.

....How lonely that must be.

She continued as though nothing happened yet there was a spike of anxiety that rattled her insides.
