[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.

I'm not...sure I've ever properly looked at it.

[ The Weavile's narrowed eyes remain locked on the sky. Judging by her tone, she thinks that's a weird thing to have never done, over the course of her entire life. Of course she's looked at the night sky. She's been traveling outdoors for most of the past several months, how could she possibly fail to notice the sky? ]
positivestars: (startled)

[personal profile] positivestars 2025-12-17 01:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I see… Was there that much going on? Or that much light?

[She's finding it difficult to imagine not looking up…. But light pollution could be one answer, maybe. When they were out of the city, it was definitely easier to see the stars.]
paperceptive: (📖 consult)

[personal profile] paperceptive 2025-12-17 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
...no? No.

[ That doesn't make sense. She's spent more than enough time camping. Even if she can't quite picture how bright the night sky was in a city, she should have been able to see the stars at some point. ]

I don't know what to make of it...
positivestars: (oh geez)

[personal profile] positivestars 2025-12-19 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
That's… that seems quite strange. But there isn't anything like that happening here… right?

[That'd be too weird, surely.]
paperceptive: (📖 bashful)

[personal profile] paperceptive 2025-12-19 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't...think so?

[ She's not sure. Odile hates being so unsure. She doesn't want to think about this. But - no, she does, doesn't she? She'd rather know something's wrong. ]
positivestars: (straightforward)

[personal profile] positivestars 2025-12-20 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay! Well… hopefully that's a good thing. But I guess we can't work out more about it without more clues…

So, um! What do you think of the sky?
paperceptive: (📖 concern)

[personal profile] paperceptive 2025-12-21 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
It's...nice.

[ Her tone is faintly unsure as she squints up at them again. It's sort of giving her a headache, but...really, it is nice. And they really never looked at them while eating dinner on the road, not even once? ]

I wonder if I'm going to remember looking at it...
positivestars: (consider)

[personal profile] positivestars 2025-12-22 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
That's good to hear! I find it's kind of reassuring to see the stars… though I think the constellations are different.

[That… makes the most sense, right, in a different world?]

Well- it's not going anywhere! If you looked up, I imagine it would come back.
paperceptive: (📖 consideration)

[personal profile] paperceptive 2025-12-22 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm making notes to that effect. Hopefully it works.
positivestars: (deliberate)

[personal profile] positivestars 2025-12-23 01:43 pm (UTC)(link)
A record should definitely help! Do you believe it would help you if you had our accounts of the night, as well?
paperceptive: (📖 frown)

[personal profile] paperceptive 2025-12-23 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm...no, no. I don't want to interrupt the festivities.

[ Such as they are. Odile also doesn't especially want to broadcast that she may be having memory issues of some kind to half the Bay. ]

I'll see how it goes. I do tend to review these notes frequently, at least.
positivestars: (straightforward)

[personal profile] positivestars 2025-12-26 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah… I understand.

[She thinks it probably wouldn't interrupt things too much…. But it is a difficult topic to bring up.]

I'm sure those will be helpful, then!
