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. ]

If it were up to you, you'd have kicked my ass before haulin' Masamune away~.

[When one was alone, the concept of making bad decisions was far from a speculative nightmare--it was a painful reality. Ban knew better, but made terrible decisions on a regular basis, because he didn't allow anyone to become that close to him.

It was easy to see a bit of that in Gintoki, when he toyed with Alice in the jail. Ban had no clue whether or not to respect or simply envy that need for restraint.]

In any case, I know for a fact that at least one of your pals is more than worth their salt.

[Giving Gintoki a shrug, Ban hopped down from their vantage point--a fair ways down. As he fell, his voice followed in an echo.]

Cause, I know you're a sooooftiiiiie~.

I'll kick your ass now if you want! I'll kick your ass with your own rectum if I have to!

My god. Why does this guy even talk? It's a it too late, though, and granted he is too lazy to chase after him but fine. Next time he'll kick your ass just from looking at you.

Because Ban is right about him, and when Ban is right about something, it makes him angry. ]</sub>
