Starfish Scares (13) : Starfish live in the sea. They do not live in freshwater rivers, lakes, or reservoirs with no connection to the ocean. Starfish are also not social creatures. And yet, here they are–in hoards. They can be found near any water source–and far from it. These starfish seem to be a unique species that are eager to travel and don’t seem quite bound to water, though they will seek it out. The starfish will latch onto just about anything they can to hitch a ride, even though they’re fast. They secrete an itchy, oozy slime after they’ve latched onto something, and though it seems as though they can absorb nutrients from any living creature, these starfish have an odd penchant for blood. You might as well have a colorful leech stuck to you as soon as you think one of these things crawling your way. Their bites are sharp and will leave the nearby skin itchy and painful. They are a bit difficult to remove but they can be killed; as soon as they have perished, they will rapidly dry out and crumble. However, it’s far more likely that they’ll escape before you can get your hands on them. Be vigilant; these things are pests–and smart enough to cling to people and vehicles alike if it means getting to where they want to go.
This powered thing was new still, and while he was still unsure over things, it was nice to have a bit more secrecy where he could look around things without people knowing who he was. It was also nice being stronger and being able to move with a bit more pep in his step.
Tonight, he and Kaisariani were supposed to head over to the reservoir to have dinner after work. With his camera tucked into subspace, he was excited for the photos he could potentially take of the peaceful water. With it being late, he knew it would be closed to the public, but it wasn't like anyone could figure out who they were like this. It helped him be a bit less hesitant when it came to leaving his usual haunts.
All the flowers and things that came with being Schwetzingen felt fitting, at least for him, but it was nice to know that he had someone else who knew about this since they'd both gotten powers at the same time.
Looking over at Angel, as Kaisariani, he offered a smile as they got closer to the reservoir. "Are you going to work on any sketches or art? I might take some photos. It's nice and quiet out tonight, I'm glad it's not too hot either."
