She continued walking, looking intently up at the twinkling lights to see if any of them were low enough for her to grab. No luck so far. She kept looking.

Finally, a likely candidate! This glowing fragment looked low enough that if she reached up on her tiptoes and maybe jumped a little, she might be able to--
"--costume--looks great."
Oh. That didn't make sense at all. All of that effort for a few words she didn't know anything about? Maybe another fragment would have a better answer for her.

Slowly after parting from the goddess he started to watch the others around him, their grey forms following after glowing objects and catching them. This to he would do, why not? The lights seemed harmless, considering many were touching and holding them and even interesting since often it looked as if the others were...listening to them.
How?
Going into the darkness he spotted the grey warmth and reached for it, careful not to fall into the deeper darkness. As his hand made contact the fragment whispered to him;
Use the cold don't be scared of it! .
Use the... Cold... It was an odd utterance that was certain. He repeated the words to himself, they didn't sound familiar at all though something about them and the simple touch of the fragment made his whole being feel warmer. More he needed more of the warmth and words, even if he was unsure of why. Holding the tiny fragment close, clinging to it he moved on to find more.
Marati found herself in the Ruins of a...well, she didn't know what they were the ruins of, but she did know that it looked definitely abandoned. Grey fingers reached out, dragging lightly across the dust on top of a rusted old thing of metal - a bike, her mind offered - and then startled as something came nearly crashing into her, apparently chasing a fragment.
"Oh, you almost caught that one!" She offered, breathlessly amused, once she righted herself. But now that she was looking...they were everywhere, weren't they? These things. With a curious hum she reached out for one herself.
Her hand closed around it, and a small, shy voice filled her mind.
My...My mind is, um, rotting...

The rain stung lightly wherever it touched, so Rojand stayed under cover wherever he could, ducking from eaves to broken scaffolding to the jagged yawning mouths of broken storefronts. He ignored the billboards and their neon red flickering. It seemed safer.
The goddess wanted fragments, so he looked for fragments. They clustered more heavily in the darkened spaces. He wasn't quite sure why she wanted fragments, but he had been promised a nonspecific reward. The cluster of little glowing lights that hid underneath the broken tracks of what had once been an elevated railway darted away from his hand when he reached, but he snagged one before it could escape.
" -- and try to keep yourself alive, would you?"
It sounded like good advice.

"Ah!!" Ryjer jumped at the new voice just as his hands closed around a glowing fragment and a voice filled his brain anew,
You sing as sweet as your mother...
He hesitated, brows knitting, but he didn't ponder the fragment long. "They're ah... a bit wily, huh? Ahahaha. But it's ah. A good distraction, yeah?"

There it was again, handsome! And now pretty! Omega didn't know what exactly they meant here, but they felt like nice words...Had she known how to blush, she would have. As it stood, she bounced in place and smiled, enjoying the good feeling it gave her to spread her mouth in such a way. "Thank you! You're very pretty too..." It felt right to say at any rate. "Did you, um, get something weird taken from you with the goddess?"
Aww, someone looked like they were having trouble! "You gotta approach them all casual!" Omega called out. "I think they like that!" Maybe? Sorta??
A voice behind her mentioned her humming, and she started a bit with some surprise. "Hmm, that? I don't know what that was..." She turned her head to see a figure almost her height, maybe a little taller. "I was just trying it out. Was it good?"

Marati pondered, for a passing moment, the meaning behind what the first fragment had whispered to her. It didn't draw anything of importance to mind and so she shrugged it off, instead turning a smile to her new friend just in time to see him catch one. Taking a cue from him she moved to grab one that was near his arm, and pouted as it darted out of the way and drifted off.
"Yeah, they are...but there's something nice about them too." She hummed thoughtfully, looking around for another one that she could try to get, but always looking back at the thin form near her. "Say, what's your name?"

Two shards floated beneath a flickering neon sign, and Rojand moved out from under the shelter of the elevated rail to snatch one. Perhaps it wanted to be caught; though the other one eluded his hand, the one he grabbed at stayed steadily where it was.
"I'm sorry. I can't."
The voice sounded familiar, and he frowned.

"Oh! Drat!" Another one slipped through his thin fingers and he pouted. "Name? Ah! I'm fairly sure it's um. Ryjer. Or something like that! I met a man- I think he was a man? Who knows, right? Um, named Tiek before." He was proud of the fact he could supply TWO names. He felt very knowledgeable. "And you, miss?"
At least the shards and conversation was a welcome distraction from the torrent of questions leaping through him. He could ignore them for now.

Watching the grey figures around him struggle he smiled if slightly and shook his head. Why was it so difficult for them but not him? Because ...- Thoughts finally silenced by a floating by fragment he gave chase.
The evasive little shard gave his first swipe the slip but as his opposite hand shot up the shard was no match and was successfully captured. Grinning he pulled it close, listening, waiting for its words.
Put a little charm into it boy creeple are watching...
The fragments words were as confusingly intriguing as the last set, with a shake of his head he stashed the piece close and pressed on. There was no use in lingering in the words when there was much more to discover on his way to becoming a goddess.
Hurt did not want to go out into the rain. She may have been named that, but it didn't mean she liked it.

"--interact alongside each other--" didn't hold any meaning to her, either. The words were nice to hear, though, less because of what they might mean and more for their presence alone. They made her feel a little better, even though she didn't know why.

They were having a conversation, as far as Maiden could tell, they were weren't they? He watched on puzzled as the shadowed being begin to be dragged away by curiosity. There was something there that he couldn't really see at his angle, squinting at the haze and mist, was there something out there.
Then the being was talking to him again, and the rummaging through the pile of trash continues. "i don't know, i'm just going through this heap of junk and there it is." He replied back, as if it was natural to just go and break the surface of this pile.
another gem made its appearance, this time rolling from the container and making a break for freedom that had him scrambling after it and diving headfirst into the collection of pieces.
The gem felt solid in his hand, and a pop of clarity racked through his body.
"Going for dig dig run Rex?" the ethereal voice answered back before wafting away.
"Is this what you call.... digging?" he asked aloud, more so for himself but also for the company he was with. "Who are you anyways, im.. Maiden." the name itself felt right, and wrong still on his tongue. "And you are?"

Something gave way with a crack above Rojand as he reached towards the next cluster of glowing light, and he jumped back reflexively. A second later, he was grateful; a gutter or reservoir must have broken overhead. A bucketful of scalding rain splashed down onto the wet, cracked cement where he'd been standing. Instead of soaking him and stinging his skin, it spattered his boots.
The shard had gotten away, but he preferred staying dry.
