Wow...

[Getting flung into another universe is kind of jarring when you realize you don't know any of the stars. Emil stares up at the sky, trying to trace constellations with his eyes, but... they're all unfamiliar.]

... Hey, Orihime?

[leekspins]

What is it?

[Her response is cheerful as she pulls her gaze away from the star-studded sky, smiling at her companion.]

[martasknight]

What are some of the constellations here? The ones back home are really different...

[It's a little disconcerting.]

[leekspins]

Hmmm...well, let's see...you can almost always see the Big Dipper no matter what time of year it is. See how those four stars kind of make a square, with a handle attached? It's also called Ursa Major, the big bear!

[She beams, filled with fond memories of learning about the constellations for the first time from her late brother.]

If you follow the two stars on the end of the Big Dipper, they point straight to the North Star. It's part of the Little Dipper, or Ursa Minor!
