[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)
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]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

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.]

B!
[ Maybe the constellations will be similar to Earth's? That that little bit of familiarity would be welcomed, it was a star system Dolly had grown accustomed to since leaving Tir Na Nog. ]
[ The lights of the stars and streaks of the the meteor shower swirled like a Vincent van Gogh painting in her eyesight as Dolly prepares her spot. ]
[ Would things have been easier with her astrolabe on paw? Sure, but Dolly wouldn't be much of a daughter of Tir Na Nog if she couldn't chart it by eye. They would've laughed at her...would've had they all been.. ]
[ Focused and tuning out most of the world around her, Dolly gets the first sheet out and prepares to get to work. Dolly hadn't noticed Siffrin just yet watching as she started mapping. ]
no subject
[...]
...you're making a star chart?
[They recognize what one looks like, of course. The last time they saw one... was in the House, wasn't it? They stopped visiting that room eventually. But it... didn't occur to them to try making one here, even once they started getting used to the unfamiliar stars. They're pretty sure it would've just dropped out of their head five minutes in, haha!]
[In the back of their head, Siffrin can't help but think that Dolly is missing some kind of tool for this... but they focus on it a bit too hard, and it's gone. Nevermind.]
no subject
I am, though, wished I had an astrolabe on me right now, it would've made charting them easier. I figured I should learn what the constellations here were. It was something that my birthplace did whenever we had to record a new constellation system.
[ Siffrin's original personality seemed to have returned for a moment. Dolly hadn't realized yet that Siffrin was into the stars as well as she offered a spot to them to hang out with her. ]
You're welcome to hang out with me if you'd like? I would enjoy the company.
no subject
[They try not to think about it too hard. But maybe they'll remember for a bit longer this time.]
...sure.
[They settle hesitantly to the ground near her. Their eye still mostly stays fixed on the sky, but every once in a while they glance over to see how her chart is growing.]
Your birthplace... paid attention to the stars too? [Unclear what "too" they mean! Could just be "like the Pokemon here," maybe...]
no subject
[ .....? Attention has been grabbed. ]
We did, the stars were a huge part where I originally came from, they meant everything. I take it yours was like this too?
[ Congratulations Siffrin, you got Dolly's attention as she pauses for a moment on the star mapping. ]
no subject
[Even if they say yes, as soon as she starts asking questions, they won't remember.]
[So they don't answer. Not the question, anyway.]
...what was it like?
no subject
You know that breeze you get from the sea? How its crisp and cool with some spray tossed in? It was like that but you could smell the warmed honey from the grass we had. It was a huge island that was divided into twelve districts, but, it had a great view of the stars above.
[There's a bit of a melancholic smile to Dolly, some tears a bit noticeable if looked too closely.]
There was an observatory in the Spring Twilight District that our caregivers would take us to growing up for major celestial events like eclipses or meteor showers like this one...
[Dolly paused as she takes in a breath, those were the better memories of Tir Na Nog...]
