( the starlight meme )

 
It's a beautiful, warm spring night out on the hills, and all the stars are out. Aren't they beautiful? You've decided to get out that checkered blanket from the back of your closet and put it to good use. Are you just lying down, staring at the constellations? Are you propping up a telescope, searching the sky? Are you seated on the blanket, sharing a starlit picnic with friends? Whatever the case, you're under starlight.

what to do
- post your character, including name and fandom and prefs if you have 'em
- give a small set-up for what your character is doing
- others respond to your character
- those characters are watching the stars together
- have fun!

Sumeragi Subaru ❀ X/1999

[personal profile] mildsevens 2012-09-10 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's a commonly known fact that city lights are notorious for typically drowning out the luminescence of starlight. It's quite a feat to catch the light-years-away pin pricks of light with any clarity when they exist in constant competition with the neon gleam which is the lifeblood of a pulsing metropolis.

Still. Poor, dreary neighborhoods with both sparsely scattered beacons of street-light and decreased traffic tend to aid in stargazing. So too does the choosing of a particularly ungodly hour to wander out into the dark; when the wise and consciousness masses have long since let slip the restlessness of a waking mind.

It'd be a meticulous plan to cultivate such an environment. To time it right, and find a rooftop with an open skyline not yet obscured by the jut of a cityscape's wide and jagged maw. A shame Subaru cannot even begin to take credit for such efforts. Pure happenstance is the real culprit; deserving all credit.

In the end, the last thing he cares to actively seek out are the heavens. ]

[Idrial is standing and looking up at the sky, watching the stars with fascination. She smiles a little to herself and she can't seem to be able to keep her eyes off of them. She is far from home but it is the stars that remind her of the Golden Woods of Lothlorien. No matter where you travel the stars are all the same. They may change position, but they're all there. She could stand here forever, just looking.]

The stars are breathtaking are they not?

[London isn't a city for starlight. There is too much light, too much noise, too much life in it, drowning out the stars above. But at four in the morning, there's a glimmer of starlight to be seen, in the fleeting darkness between the shuttering of the bars and before the cafes and bakeries begin opening.

And tonight, Irene Adler is walking beneath it, a slim, graceful figure in black and white, her crisp steps echoing in the dim, starlit night.

And while Irene was walking around, Amy had herself planted in the middle of a grassy area of the park. While the Doctor fixed something in the TARDIS Amy had grown bored and decided to watch the stars for a bit. It was a bit eerie, the park being this quiet at night, which is why she all to easily heard footfalls coming her way. Turning her head, she squinted against the darkness before calling out. "Hello? Is someone there?"

[personal profile] socialstudy 2012-09-10 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[it was the perfect night, he found-- carefully chosen from a collection of factors involving optimal weather and personal scheduling. it was a saturday evening, which meant no conflicts involving schools (no matter the occasion, himuro would always put school before anything else, straight-laced teacher he is) and the sky was cloudless and glinting with the first few stars. the air was cooler than preferred, but it was nothing that some blankets and hot tea couldn't fix.

yes, he thinks with a twitch of his lips, it is indeed the perfect night for a practical astronomy lesson.

himuro, at present, is busy setting up the telescope, ensuring that it is stable on the slightly uneven land and in proper working order. the sun was just barely peeking over the horizon, which meant there was plenty of light before flashlights became a necessity, but himuro still wanted to ensure everything was ready for a lesson no planetarium could ever provide.

Hello my sweet~

[personal profile] bicyclehelmet 2012-09-11 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
During physics class on Friday, Hikami had scarcely been able to pay attention to the teacher's lecture on radioactivity. His plans, finalised months ago, were finally coming to fruition this weekend. The topic of the class was a difficult one as well as an intriguing one, but he simply couldn't keep his mind from wandering. It was a shame, but perhaps for once he'd have to ask reliable little Onoda-kun if he could borrow her notes. Just for once. After all, it was quite the special occasion. No one could entirely blame him for being just a bit distracted. 

"Hikami-kun?" The teacher had addressed him. "Can you tell me how decay factors into all this?"
"A-ah..."
But even that had been but a temporary embarrassment. 

Outings with Reiichi-niisan were invariably a delight. Still he didn't get to unite his two passions - spending time with his cousin, and stargazing - that often, and certainly not under such perfect circumstances. Crisp weather, a clear night, and Jupiter's moons so beautifully on display! That he got to experience this at all was in itself a gift, but to share this evening with his much-loved cousin was a true blessing. 

And so, wearing as many layers as he thought prudent (four), bringing enough thermos bottles full of green tea to share (two), and packing all his relevant maps, books and articles pertaining to the currently visible planets and constellations (thirteen), he had met his cousin and marveled at the Maserati on their way to the field where they'd study all the beauty the night sky had to offer, together.

Here they were now. He had shed his winter jacket in anticipation of the temperature drop which was still to come, and busied himself with spreading out his maps on one of the blankets and pinning them down with rocks now that he could still study them by the sun's setting light. One index finger on his lips, he traced the planets' trajectories with the other, noting the places where they would meet, and how each constellation shifted across the sky on this particular night. 

"It is probably wisest to stay focused on Aldebaran," he finally nodded. "If no clouds appear, we should be able to see all four of Jupiter's moons. Even Io!" Already he was excitedly pointing at the sky, gesturing without even being conscious of it. "Such a rare sight!"

[It's been a long, long day. The walk back through Lowtown from the Hanged Man is just as arduous and she hates having to deal with the idiots who think it's smart to hide in the shadows and wait for easy prey. But they die just the same, a few limping home with terrified looks that satisfy her. The extra fights have her too restless to want to immediately retire to her lavish estate — as appealing as that might be later.

Instead, she takes a detour down one of the side streets into one of the open courtyards, where she knows of several crates beside a low roof that make it possible for someone to climb up onto. And she does, gripping the side of the building and hoisting herself up and over to dangle her legs off of the side, getting comfortable.

The night air is cool, the sky clear, and she can see the stars dotting the sky. It's a little pocket of beauty in an otherwise tumultuous city founded on blood and bodies. And it's the only thing she has tonight.

Leaning back, she crosses her hands behind her head and watches the stars with a lazy half-smile on her face, content.]

Hawke, why don't you pick someplace a little closer to the ground the next time you want to be all picturesque and thoughtful? It'd be easier for me to capture the moment if I can get to it that way.

[ Dwarves; they aren't much for heights or climbing. Sure, there are the schlubs that carve the tall halls of the Deep Roads and all that, but... Varric has never been that dwarf, and never will be. ]

[ But he settles on his feet, not looking forward to the trek back down, and approaches with a smile in the pale light of the night. ]


Knew it was you. Good thing, too. I might've gotten a taste of somebody else's crossbow otherwise.

[There's a crunch of gravel as someone approaches: a tallish woman, stepping carefully through the ruin. Everything they did (everything she did) was to prevent their own history from being wiped out. Accidentally wrecking some precious ancient relic now would be pretty silly.]

[It's been a long time since they dug her out of the wreckage in London, but there's a haunted look that's never quite left the commander's eyes. Still, Shepard's expression softens when she catches sight of Liara.]


Heads-up, T'Soni.

Raphael | TMNT Mirage Canon

[personal profile] theangryturtle 2012-09-11 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ Raphael loves New York. He loves it when it's bright, loud and smell, when you can smell the stink of the homeless and human waste from every alley in a sweltering July, he loves it when it's an icy death trap in the depths of winter because nobody can be arsed to salt their stretch of sidewalk. ]

[ But he loves it best when he's high above, on a rooftop, in the dead of night in the places where the city pretends to sleep, when lights go black and nobody comes out, in the witching hours between three and five am, in certain parts of the town. ]

[ Then, it's like the city had wrapped these few, often dangerous, blocks, and simply stopped rivaling the stars. ]

[ Lights below and lights above are one thing, but for now, he enjoys the heights of a tenement rooftop and the face there's no lights but what glitter above. ]

[Raphael isn't the only one who likes to watch the stars. He definitely isn't the only one who thought of going on that particular roof to watch them.

Alice isn't a normal woman. She's completely mad, and she's been so since she was seven. She recently was released from a mental institution and moved to New York to leave London behind.

A talent she had developed in the asylum was watching people. Being silent. Blending into the woodwork in order to keep from being targeted for barbaric treatments. So when she first saw a giant turtle leap overhead to the roof of her tenement building, she was experienced enough with hallucinations to be unfazed and silent enough to get a good look at him without his noticing. For a while, she's watched from her window, seeing the giant turtle jump to her building on nights when all the lights went out and the stars were finally visible.

And tonight, as if they were casual friends and he wasn't a hallucinatory giant turtle, she opens the door to the roof as he watches the sky, completely nonchalant.]
Good evening. Enjoying the view?

fairytale world;
(Still not exactly what one would call relaxed, Granny's grip on her life had eased somewhat since Red had discovered her little secret. To the extent that she was actually allowed outside at night not, full moon or not. Just so long as she kept on that red cloak. Thankfully the moon was only a sliver tonight, so her cloak doubled as a blanket in the small field she was laying in)

storybrooke;
(She's not much of a stargazer, not really a nature girl in general, but every now and then it's kind of nice. To think about something other than how much she longed to get out of this town. On those nights, if the weather was tolerable, she could be found on the roof of the little diner)

[It wasn't abnormal for Cogsworth to get out of 'La Rose Enchantee'- the more-uptight, top-notch, take-a-person-there-for-big-dates restaurant in town- late, and as much as he preferred to be perfectly on time, Cogsworth rarely got what he wanted.

He drove past the diner in a grumpy mood, only to reverse backwards, wind down his window and frown at the girl on the roof. He knew who she was, having seen her from afar but always having been too busy to speak with her.

Now seems like a good time, mostly because he hates seeing people doing things they probably shouldn't.]

[ the galaxy is beautiful and full of mysteries.

that's the doctor's favorite part, which is why he has a telescope prompted and peeking through it to look at just how beautiful they are; there is a table with notes and sketches and his saw for emergencies — it makes him want to just know. theories do not satisfy him. it makes him imagine, makes him think of things he cannot touch or experiment on and that is so dissatisfying.

that's why he's disappointed poopy joe's mission ended in a disaster. he could have checked up on the astronaut and see: 1) precious data that could have been gathered, and; 2) the effects of a primate in space.

a filled pipe resting on the table, a violin case on the chair — the man isn't in teufort or in any other city, their smog covers the sky. he's out in badlands; in the deserted canyons. he borrowed the engineer's truck while the man was asleep.

[ There's something stunningly peaceful about the night after the full moon: the gradual build up of nervous energy and pressure and then the following release of it is rather brilliant. He's been told yoga can do something similar, but finds the likelihood of that to be slight.

It's still fairly early, just a few minutes past nine. Even downtown Beacon Hills isn't bright enough to block out the night sky, and Peter sprawls comfortably at a bistro table outside one of the scattered coffee shops. Normally he would take the opportunity to observe the passersby, but the night sky has drawn him in. Even his coffee has been left to go cold between his palms. ]

[Well, all he had really wanted was a coffee, but every single table was taken. Seriously, how did that happen? Wasn't the point of coffee to get it and go? Now that Snow was really helping with wanting to sit, but it was a nice night out and he was in no hurry to go anywhere. It had been a rough day, his brand acting up, and he just wanted his coffee and to enjoy a pretty sky.

So he went up to the guy with the least amount of people at his table - Peter.]

The blanket's been laid down a short distance away from her car, and she's quiet as she stares up at the stars.

[ Luckily, the MARTA lines got to within hiking distance of the park, and to a secluded campsite, if you were willing to go through a bit of effort. No wi-fi out here, though the cell signal was there for emergencies.

Nice clear weather, warm enough to do without a fire. As she stretches out on the blanket, she sighs.

Perhaps she'd settle down here for a while though, make a home around the area without actually getting into it unless she absolutely needed to. However, for tonight, she found herself more than happy to wonder about. Much to her surprise in her wonderings, there happened to be a familiar face.]

Long time no see. [A reminiscent smile tugged at the corner's of her mouth. It probably hadn't been as long as it felt, but sometimes, it was hard to tell.]
