Fly me to the moon [Closed]

[5thchild]

Who: Kaworu Nagisa and Jack Frost
What: Night time at a rooftop
When: Night of D284
Where: At the rooftop of Kaworu's house
Rating: G

[ he goes to the rooftop from time to time, to watch the stars and the moon, but also to take photographs of the night-sky since Kaworu is gluing them to the ceiling of his bedroom. While his cat Zadkiel hated to come along with Kaworu, his second cat (a kitten, actually) was more than happy to follow.

Sitting on the roof, the angel watches the moon with the kitten purring loudly in his arms after he took few pictures.

It's peaceful, like that. After such a big battle, it felt good to rest like this, under the stars.] ]

[And that's something Jack can't blame Kaworu for, since he can be curious himself. He looks at the moon then back at the bow with a cat. Maybe he can move the conversation in another direction.]

What do you see? When you look at the moon. [He got some interesting answers out of Lavi, let's see what happens this time.]

[5thchild]

A natural satellite which is in synchronous rotation with the planet, formed out of the debris left over from a collision between the Earth and a foreign body.

[ that's what he sees literally.

However, Kaworu does know what Jack meant. He has been around Allen enough to learn not everything is literal. ]

I also see you. [ and this "you" isn't Jack in particular. So, he adds ] "Lilim".

[2cool4guardian]

[An eyeroll. This is even worse than Lavi's answer.]

Do I want to know what a lilim is or I'll get another astronomy lesson?

[5thchild]

"Lilim" are those capable of development and growth. Humans, for example, fit the category.

However, if you were to look at it in a broad sense - even cats are. [ Kaworu pets Asariel again. ]

[2cool4guardian]

["What does that make me?" Jack wonders. But since his body has changed with his arrival to Asgard, he better not go there. He does recognize the way Kaworu talks, though - mentioning humans as a third party.]

You think of humans when you see the moon? What does that make you anyway?

[5thchild]

Humans call my kind "Angels".

[ but either way. ]

What do you see when you think of the moon?

[2cool4guardian]

[Jack raises both eyebrows. Angel. Welp. He does believe him, he just didn't see it coming. After three centuries of dealing with supernatural stuff, this is definitely a first one.]

And angels don't grow- woah, no, wait. No think. See. People see different things on it. A face, a rabbit... that's what I asked.

[5thchild]

What do you see, then? [ he doesn't bother much with himself. Actually, he is far more interested in Jack. ]

[2cool4guardian]

[Jack gives Kaworu A Look. This is going down one dangerous road. Being rescued by the moon is his first memory as a spirit, and he isn't sure he wants to recover that feeling.]

Light. Moonbeams. [That's technically true, ok.] You haven't answered though - unless you literally see 'lilim' shapes up there. That would be a new one.

[5thchild]

I did answer. "A natural satellite which is in synchronous rotation with the planet, formed out of the debris left over from a collision between the Earth and a foreign body". [ that's what he literally sees. ]

[2cool4guardian]

You... actually meant that.

[He shakes his head disapprovingly. That doesn't sound like fun, Kaworu. Not fun at all.]

Remind me to never play "finding shapes in the clouds" with you. We can't let all that evil imagination invade your brain.

[5thchild]

We don't have imagination.

[ but something else interests him ]

"Finding shapes in the clouds"?

[2cool4guardian]

You don't have--

[Jack is the first one to admit (and complain) that books aren't accurate when it comes to myths, but this is a little too much off in his opinion.]

Yeah, you know - looking at clouds and trying to guess what they look like. A dog or a shoe or whatever.

[5thchild]

Ah- [ you can do that? Kaworu blinks, and if it wasn't night, he would immediately turn to the sky to do that. But alas, it's night.

Still he smiles. ]

Doing such things is really amazing. [ to him, it is. Because it is true when he says he doesn't have imagination.

Kaworu might actually have some if he tries, but it's never like a human. ]

[2cool4guardian]

Err, yes?

[Jack is really confused - and a part of him may be feeling a bit of pity, too. How can someone live without imagination? It's important for games, to have fun. Jack wonders what would Sandy say, with him being a master of making up things.

And that thought makes him ask.] Can you dream?

[5thchild]

[ Kaworu tilts his head curiously. ] I remember. My dreams are memories.

[ he doesn't really dream per say. ]

[2cool4guardian]

Even here in the city?

[The question is out before Jack even thinks about it. At home, he really didn't dream, either. But since the gods made him more or less human, his body has been different - weird. And he's curious to know how it has affected others.]

[5thchild]

[ kaworu nods ]

Before, I didn't need to sleep, so I rarely did. Since I came to the city, because this body needs rest, I sleep every night. And I remember.

[2cool4guardian]

[Well, doesn't that sound familiar. Jack was in the group of "rarely slept" too, so this has his complete attention. Maybe he will be less defensive now.]

I don't need to sleep every night yet but... I think I'm dreaming. [He frowns.] Their changes to our bodies are really random...

[5thchild]

I'd say they made us quite human in a way.

Does it bother you, these changes?

[2cool4guardian]

Noooo, I'm perfectly happy with them.

[This time is not only sarcasm in his voice, but also a lot of frustration and even a bit of bitterness.]

Of course they bother me! I don't know my own body!

[5thchild]

[ Kaworu smiles simply at that, before he turns to his kitten again, petting it. ]

Do you dislike this place?

[2cool4guardian]

[Jack is about to answer, but thinks twice before doing so (mark this day on the calendar, fellows). He glances at the windows he checked on before finding Kaworu - all those children, and hell, even the adults too... everyone can see him here.]

...I dislike war. I dislike higher-ups how think they can do whatever they want with us.

[5thchild]

[ Kaworu smiles. That's not really what he asked, but it's alright. ]

And without those?

[2cool4guardian]

I... I don't know.

[Too many mixed feelings to get a good answer out of it. But it seems they have some things in common, right? Maybe Kaworu can do better.]

What about you?
