I looked up at the stars and galaxies above me. Beautiful. So large compared to me. Even compared to my gang. I sighed softly, trying to name constellations against the blackness of the universe. Only when I heard footsteps walking closer did I look away. I sat up on my elbows, my heard turned towards a familiar bloke.
"Why are you up this late, Duke?" the man asked.
"Seifios, ya know why." I replied.
"Ah yes. Did you take your pills for it yet?"
I shook my head. The recent set hadn't worked at all. Mental note: I have to get more, maybe increase the dosage.
"The choice is yours but I am certain they would have helped you."
"I know. Why're you up? Don't ya need your beauty sleep?"
Seifios laughed.
"I don't need beauty sleep."
"Good point."
He walked closer, sitting beside me. He kept playing with his beaded bracelet. Looking down, the beads were grey.
"So, what have you been thinking about while laying amongst the stars?" He asked.
"I don't know... Life? I guess? ...Whatever. Our last raid gave us nothing more than three more members."
"I know. But they seem like they could be rather useful to the group."
"What're their names?"
Seifios looked down, his lips pursing and his eyes squinting as he thought.
"The blue one is called Ist Shiemuoa. The human was called Christopher Michael Peters though he prefers Chris."
"What about the pussy?"
"You mean cat person. Mi...Mikesh Fursetor I believe is his name."
"Jesus. Their names are more ridiculous than yours." I laughed. Seifios rolled his eyes.
"Haha. That was so very funny."
"Sorry, dude, ya know I'm kidding."
Seifios smiled at me. We both looked at the stars for a while. It'd be morning soon. Well, not morning as humans know it. This meteor's equivalent to a morning. The way our base worked was weird. When my watch reaches 4am, it's technically morning. Until 3pm. Like how 6am is morning and 6pm is evening on Earth. But my gang are lazy shits. They won't get up probably until 8 am. Seifios pointed at a specific dot in the sky. From where we were, it was extremely small. Might've been looking at the wrong one, actually.
"You see that dot? The one next to the small blue planet." Seifios muttered.
"There's too many dots, idiot. They all look the same."
"Oh well. That dot there is my intergalactic church. Well, the planet the church is on."
"I've never actually visited your church before."
"I know. But that's because you have sinned WAY too much in your life. All those sex-scandals, all those drugs you have taken part in and all the alcohol coursing through your veins. The murders, the rape accusation-"
"That wasn't true! Those bastards made that up! I never even touched that bitch!" I interrupted.
"And I know that, Duke. But it could still count as a sin. And that means you cannot enter my church."
"Surely everyone's sinned though? Whether it's drugs, drinking, sex without marriage, murder or something like that."
"I have not as you know. We monks have to keep ourselves sin free for all our lives. That is why I only drink non-alcoholic drinks."
"So wait, you're still a virgin?"
Seifios looked embarrassed, his cheeks kinda red as he nodded.
"Holy shit. Can't even masturbate?"
"No, Duke. No masturbation or sexual activity of any kind."
Jesus. Or God. Or whatever. How did he survive that way? I couldn't live without having sex or bustin' a nut. Or a cold beer. Or vodka. Or the drugs my bro supplies me with. There's lotsa shit I can't live without.
"My church is very very strict. You know that already."
"Whatever."
We were quiet for a bit. Until someone inside the hideout made some loud crash. Followed by swearing.
For fuck sake, Heonsit.
