PLAYER EVENT ★ HELIOLOGY

INTRODUCTION. It's difficult to tell time without the presence of a sun or moon. There are no stars. The world is in constant blackness, the heavens barely visible from below and the only light artificial. It's been like this for months. Suddenly, those who expressed interest in observing the sun (or lack thereof) will all at once receive a text message on their ALASTAIR jewellery from 82736775: Get your shit and go look at the sky. Now's the time. If you need me, I'm around. It's time to get to work. OBSERVATION. Find the highest point you can and point the telescopes at the sky. Should be easy, right? Be mindful that there are still guards patrolling the city, looking for escaped prisoners, and some citizens would be very happy to tip them off to your presence. There are still animals in the forests to contend with, and there are still nosey citizens who may ask you too many questions. There are also your fellow ALASTAIR agents, who may not be very willing to share the spot they already staked out before you just showed up. People and animals aren't all you need to look out for, either. Seven hours after the observation starts, there is a lightning storm. It lasts for 30 minutes, bolts of electricity arcing across the sky. It might be a good idea to scurry down someplace lower when this happens -- you know what they say about lightning and height. 82736775 doesn't contact anyone after the initial text, so observers are free to give up whenever they decide they've been sitting out in the freezing dark for long enough. [ note: even if you didn't sign up, feel free to tag in! your character won't have a telescope but that doesn't mean they can't mingle. ]

I see.

Then I'm going to destroy it. It's a threat to our mission.

[naturallywavy]

_{[ A normal person might care or worry about the trouble he is about to cause, but— ]}

the more i read your words, the more i come to the conclusion it's probably harmless to you specifically.
how do you plan on doing that?

[runningjoke]

I don't believe you. A threat is a threat.

And I have an energy blaster.

1.2

[naturallywavy]

i have an energy blaster.
between my legs.

2.2

[naturallywavy]

look, does it honestly look like something that could kill you?
is it coming to you or just minding its own business?
i'm just curious.
_{[ —of what kind of poor animal you're about to kill. ]}

does it have a tail? paws? wings? what?

[runningjoke]

I didn't ask if you did? I don't care.

No, it doesn't. But that's less because of it's threat level, and more because I'm better. It could easily be a threat to a normal human. In fact, you should be asking me to take care of it for you!

It has a stubby vertebrates appendage, if that's what you're asking. Do you want me to send you a picture?

[naturallywavy]

yeah
i always like pictures

full body shot

_{[ what is this horrible lethal deeadly thing that he is misinformating this person about— he is curious. ]}

[runningjoke]

Uh, okay. How about video instead then?

[naturallywavy]

even better

[runningjoke]

[ She just sends him a video she took of a fucking bear. ]

[naturallywavy]

_{[ ... that's a fucking bear. ]}






WHYYYY are you just hanging out with that??? are you wanting to die??? do you have a death wish???

[runningjoke]

You still haven't told me WHAT IT IS. First you say it's dangerous, then you say it's not, now you're saying it is again! WHAT IS IT.

[naturallywavy]

_{[ his imagination is going to go wild, nonetheless.. this is fun. ]}
it is the dangerous

DIO BEAR-DO
he can regenerate— blasting him will do no good! don't let him get some of your blood! watch for his eyes!

_{[ maybe the bear can be saved now if Peridot decides to just run. The question, though— will she actually run?
Probably not. ]}

[runningjoke]

I don't have blood.

[ She doesn't run. ]

If this is an organic lifeform capable of advanced regeneration, then it's worth investigating.

[naturallywavy]

_{[ some people just want to watch the world burn ..... ]}
don't say i didn't warn you when it finally decides to stop time on your ass.
and maul you.

_{[ what kind of bear are we talking about here. ]}

[runningjoke]

It can't stop time. You're lying.

[naturallywavy]

am i? why would i lie to you about something so urgent?
get the hell out of there dude

[runningjoke]

... Tch. Fine, fine. I'm leaving. But not because you told me to. I'm doing it because there's nothing worth staying here for.

[naturallywavy]

you owe me one.
i practically saved your life. and a lot of humiliation.

whats the next thing you're going to terrorize.
i could think of several things that are worth your time.

[runningjoke]

OWE you??

HAHAHAHAHAHAH.

Like I said. I didn't do it because of you. Don't even think about telling me I owe you anything, clod.

[naturallywavy]

_{[ it was worth a shot. Also, what the fuck is a clod. ]}
yeah i'm a comedic genius. glad i could get you to text some laughter with your brain.

you can start with that keats guy if he comes near you.
shave off his hair. all of it.
_{[ he's still going to go through a list of people you can harass. not like you'll need it. ]}

[runningjoke]

"Keats."

I've already met him.

I pushed him off a roof.

[And seriously nearly killed him. ]

He wasn't impressive.

[naturallywavy]

you pushed him off a roof? what kind of person are you?

[naturallywavy]

THAT'S HILARIOUS

[runningjoke]

Ehehehehehe. I AM hilarious! I thought it was funny too. The other human who caught him didn't think so though.
