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. ]

Comments

[ Sebastian did have a sarcastic comment about her thievery on his tongue, but with that additional comment, he ends up just laughing softly. What a disagreeable person! It's a good thing he's quite used to them, since the rudeness just rolls off him easily. ]

Oh, dear, is that so? I would think that an engineer and scientist would be quite excited to share their work, but forgive me for that assumption...

[ This is a passive-aggressive jab, absolutely ]

[Requisitioning others' equipment? Well. "Robonoid" sounded interesting, but-

Sieglinde's expression grew somewhat sour, nodding along vigorously in support of Sebastian's statement. If she had something useful she would be more than willing to share it with those who needed it-]

One would think so.

[Chimed in her agreement loftily- though she was taking the chance to keep looking the other woman's telescope over in case she did plan on withholding aid.]
