[open mingle log] stargazing club meteor shower!

WHO: Flowey & the Stargazing Club (and any other interested parties)
WHAT: Viewing a meteor shower during a clear evening
WHEN: Early December
WHERE: A big hilltop picnic
WARNINGS: None (will change if any come up)

are you a star?

a. gathering

[Togetic- something of a figurehead for the hobby clubs and an overall advocate for relaxation- has been spreading the word! A meteor shower will be visible tonight! Everyone who's interested should gather up on Lookout Hill for the clearest viewing experience!

It is terribly cold lately, of course, especially at night. When Pokemon begin to arrive on the hilltop, they'll find chairs, blankets, and a kettle for serving hot drinks. Some Pokemon are huddling together to stay warm or just to be comfortable before the meteor shower begins!

Any Pokemon who were already here on this nice, quiet spot overlooking the city will soon find it's beginning to get just a bit quiet. At least there are other spots a bit further away that might offer more privacy...?

It's also a bit of a climb up the hill. Togetic and a few other winged Pokemon are escorting smaller ones up the hill-- though Flowey, stubborn as ever, notably refuses.
]

b. star light, star bright

[The sky is clear and unclouded. A tapestry of stars is visible overhead. Some Pokemon are pointing out visible constellations. Though, sometimes if you look away, the stars might be just a little different than you remember. How odd...

A few others are setting up telescopes. If you want to use one, maybe you can even see other celestial bodies-- though you might be interrupted by Minior playing in the atmosphere.

All of a sudden, some Pokemon cry out in surprise. Is that a Minior, too...? No, it's the first shooting star of the night! Make a wish!
]

c. shining with hope

[The meteor shower has begun in full. Streaks of light cascade across the heavens. Pokemon of all shapes and sizes gaze enraptured towards the sky.

Although... that one is awfully large, isn't it? And it's getting closer! A few Pokemon run in panic!

Fortunately, the falling star is actually too small to hurt anyone. It simply 'thunks' down in a snow bank. Togetic extracts a rather large Moon Stone. They and other Pokemon decide to take it to the Lum Guild for study.

However, other resourceful Pokemon might be able to gather Stardust, entire Star Pieces, or even fragments of Moon Stone! While the former don't have a use and the latter are much too small to be used for evolution, at least they're pretty. Some Pokemon begin talking about making accessories or decorations from them.
]

d. farewell

[Soon, the meteor shower comes to an end. Some Pokemon decide to stick around longer, but many begin to make their way towards their homes-- and their warm beds.

Flowey remains behind, still staring up at the sky. He's been... unusually cooperative and quiet tonight.

If you draw near, he doesn't quite look at you.
] ... what a show.

[Or, maybe you're also lingering in silence. Finally, he might approach you.] Not heading home yet? Aren't you cold?

e. wildcard approaching

[Wildcard option. Feel free to make your own prompt here or throw something at Flowey, or message me on plurk at [plurk.com profile] friendlyflower

As a note, feel free to use the Togetic NPC if you want to in these threads. Just assume they're a helpful character who wants everyone to have fun and enjoy the meteor shower.

Oh yes, sometimes! Search and rescue efforts were really very rare, comparatively! Not at all like here!

[ Of course, people in Hisui tend to only get rescued once, and not magically get lost in the exact same area several times at once. ]

I spent much of the days seeing to my own survival! I was on my own save for my Pokemon, so if we did not take care of ourselves, nobody would. That is another way in which this place is different!

I spoke to my Pokemon, and Lady Sneasler!

[ Like. All the time. Ingo's not good at being alone, or at least at being silent. ]

But all the same, it did do me good when I started traveling to Jubilife more regularly. Pokemon may still understand you, in my world, but most cannot reply in a way humans can understand ourselves.

Not at all!

[ He did say "most"! ]

It is most common among powerful psychic-types - though they often choose to communicate in their own ways all the same. I suppose at a point, spoken language must feel obsolete...my Alakazam prefers mental images, and I have certainly found myself doing the same on the pearls. [ How curious to think about! ] Ah, and Chatot and Murkrow, of course. They are simply very good at imitating sounds, human speech among them!

They are! It has done me good to be among so many people here who appreciate them, I think! People are only just beginning to get over their fears, back in Hisui!

That is wonderful news! I hope that all continues to go well! Certainly, it can be done - the future Emmet talks about is very much like what I have hoped to build!

Does it really still count if I did not remember it?

[ Still doesn't, really. ]

I suppose, but I hardly think I deserve any credit if it was merely unconscious!

[ Ingo doesn't think it a bad thing at all to be helpful in building Pokemon-human relations! But, Flowey does probably have a better read on the whole time travel thing... ]
