PLAYER EVENT ★ HELIOLOGY

[ricksybusiness]

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. ]

We're supposed to be looking for-[uh]-science! Not peeking on unsuspecting bystanders!

Am I gonna have to keep an eye on you all night or something??

Yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda—
Ran-saaan, are you growing up already into a nagging woman? I thought knew you better than that.

It's a celestial being— possibly from as high as heaven itself by the look of it.
She just needs to bend over and I'll know for sure.

[Wow.

Okay.

She doesn't say anything else, instead suddenly grabbing the top of his head and tightening her hold so hard it's practically a crushing grip. From that, she forces him onto his knees and maintains her hold on him.]

Do you really think the great Ranmaru Rindou will stand by as you sully a maiden's honour with such lecherous behaviour?! I won't stand for it! You can suffer for your depravity in hell, bastard!

[She won't really kill him. Promise.

Just teach him a lesson. ♥]

_{[ oh.. here we go. Gintoki really isn't unfamiliar with Ranmaru's behavior. He's accustomed to it at least. ]}

Okay, okay! Let me suffer my depravity on my feet in hell at least! I don't go on my knees like this; it's totally against my character type!
_{[ He's smacking at her hand? Please let go.
At least he admits to being depraved and gross? ]}

You know you would like what you saw if you looked through that telescope too, oi!
