stargazing. A&A

[18:50] <Alexis_W> ==start==
[18:50] <Alexis_W> "so... the deer is there or not?"
[18:51] <TornSkippito> The deer continues ignoring you and looking at the sky
[18:51] <TornSkippito> ((""thanks zela
[18:51] <TornSkippito> that means a lot.
[18:51] <TornSkippito> ....Is the damn deer still there?"" <- last response))
[18:52] <Alexis_W> ((yup. i just assumed a lack of response from ahzela between the post and the start of this))
[18:53] <Ahzela> I poke alex
[18:53] <Alexis_W> "yeah?"
[18:53] <Ahzela> "S0 I r3ad that humans try t0 find shap3s in th3 stars"
[18:53] <Ahzela> "What d0 y0u s33?"
[18:53] <Alexis_W> "i dunno. i just see a bunch of pretty glowin dots"
[18:54] <Alexis_W> "its... i dunno, abstract as fuck"
[18:54]  * Alexis_W looks at the deer, and then inspects the sky for anything that the deer may be seeing
[18:55] <Alexis_W> "well... i guess if you were lookin for them you could see like, people or animals and stuff"
[18:56] <Ahzela> "P30pl3 and animals?!"
[18:56] <Ahzela> "H0w d0 y0u 3v3n s33 that?"
[18:56] <Alexis_W> "magic"
[18:56] <Ahzela> "That s0unds fak3 and shit"
[18:56] <TornSkippito> Suddenly, the deer flashes a bright green and there is a pile of steaming rocks on the now-burnt grass!
[18:56] <Alexis_W> "you see those three stars in line? that shit is supposed to be a be--"
[18:56] <Alexis_W> "the fuck?!"
[18:57] <TornSkippito> The deer vanishes in a flash of green
[18:57] <Ahzela> "What th3 fuck?"
[18:57] <Ahzela> "0000...kkkk?"
[18:57]  * Alexis_W stands up and takes out her shotgun.
[18:58] <Alexis_W> "damn"
[18:58]  * Alexis_W slowly approaches pile of rocks
[18:58] <TornSkippito> You can feel heat radiating from the pile. The rocks aren't very large.
[18:58]  * Ahzela sits up and watches
[18:59] <Alexis_W> "zela, you are the smart one"
[18:59] <Alexis_W> "the heck is this?"
[18:59]  * Alexis_W approaches a bit more
[18:59] <Ahzela> "It l00ks lik3 it t3l3p0rt3d"
[18:59] <Ahzela> "V3ry in3ffici3ntly t00"
[19:00] <Ahzela> "I m3an.. t3l3p0rtati0n isn't THAT hard"
[19:00] <Ahzela> "But idk why y0u w0uld want t0 burn th3 gr0und with it t00 :P"
[19:00]  * Alexis_W pokes the rock with the tip of the shotgun
[19:00] <Alexis_W> "maybe it was one of dem meteorites?"
[19:00] <Ahzela> "N0, that w0uld hav3 kill3d us"
[19:01] <Ahzela> "Als0 d3finit3ly n0t"
[19:01] <Ahzela> "b3caus3 n0 m3t30rit3 has 3v3r b33n r3c0rd3d 0n th3 surfac3 0f ANY plan3t"
[19:01] <Alexis_W> "didn't it teleport?"
[19:01] <Ahzela> (Holy 3 batman)
[19:01] <Alexis_W> "what if it was a magic deer or some shit like that?"
[19:01] <Ahzela> "Wh3n th3y ar3 0n plan3ts its a m3t30r0id :P"
[19:01] <TornSkippito> ((It is a stack of several rocks, not just one.))
[19:02]  * Alexis_W pokes some more, trying to move some rocks away
[19:02] <Alexis_W> "where did these come from?!"
[19:02] <TornSkippito> With some force, you manage to knock one off the pile
[19:02] <Ahzela> "Mayb3 its p00p?"
[19:02] <TornSkippito> it hisses as the rest of whatever living plant it landed on gets burned.
[19:03] <Alexis_W> "nah. def not poop"
[19:03] <Ahzela> "H0w d0 y0u kn0w?"
[19:03] <Alexis_W> "you saw the shine right?"
[19:03] <Ahzela> "Try sniffing s0m3"
[19:03] <Alexis_W> "why dont YOU?"
[19:03] <Ahzela> "I'm alright thanks"
[19:03] <Ahzela> "I'm alright thanks"
[19:04]  * Alexis_W snickers as she knocks some more rocks
[19:04] <TornSkippito> These things are heavy and take a bit of force.
[19:04] <TornSkippito> You mange to eventually level most of the stack though.
[19:05] <TornSkippito> You can't reach the center any more without touching a rock now.
[19:06]  * Alexis_W kneels next to the stack and quickly pokes a rock with her ring finger, expecting to be burnt
[19:06]  * Ahzela sighs, stands up and joins alex
[19:06] <TornSkippito> unsuprisingly, you burn yourself!
[19:06] <Alexis_W> "ow!"
[19:07] <Ahzela> "What th3 fuck did y0u 3xp3ct? :P"
[19:07]  * Alexis_W retreats the hand and puts said finger in her mouth
[19:07] <Alexis_W> "dhunno"
[19:07] <TornSkippito> roll perception I guess?
[19:07] <Ahzela> I take out my electrostaff and pry the rocks apart
[19:08] <Ahzela> !roll 1d20+2
[19:08] <Tyche[Dice]> Ahzela rolled : 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{3}
[19:08] <Ahzela> lol
[19:08] <Alexis_W> ((one moment
[19:08] <TornSkippito> The electrostaff gets hot in your hands rather quickly, but you manage to reach the rest of the rocks. Gratz, you have a bunch of rocks that are no longer in a stack, and still quite hot
[19:08] <Alexis_W> !roll 1d20 perception
[19:08] <Tyche[Dice]> Alexis_W rolled : 1d20 perception --> [ 1d20=3 ]{3}
[19:08] <Alexis_W> lol
[19:09] <TornSkippito> ((XD I almost want to make something sneak up on you for those))
[19:09] <Ahzela> do it if you want :P
[19:09] <Ahzela> I critfailed
[19:09]  * Alexis_W checks her ring finger
[19:09] <TornSkippito> Your ringfinger is pretty badly burned and already blistering
[19:10] <Alexis_W> "owwww..."
[19:10]  * Alexis_W shows the finger to ahzela
[19:10] <Ahzela> "Y3s w3ll d0n3"
[19:10] <Alexis_W> "that was way too stupid"
[19:11] <Alexis_W> "you know how to treat burns right?"
[19:11]  * Ahzela checks the pile for radiation
[19:11] <Ahzela> "Y3s with c0ld wat3r"
[19:11] <TornSkippito> The pile has very faint radiation, but nothing serious at all
[19:12] <Alexis_W> "should we go back home or somethin?"
[19:12]  * Alexis_W lightly pokes ahzela's face with her slightly burnt finger
[19:13] <Ahzela> "3w"
[19:13] <Ahzela> "N0.. I think w3 sh0uld wait and s33 if it c0m3s back"
[19:13] <Ahzela> "What was it h3r3 f0r?"
[19:13] <TornSkippito> ((gtg real soon.))
[19:13] <Alexis_W> "dunno, it was lookin at the stars. maybe it was waiting for something?
[19:14] <Alexis_W> ((gotta go eat. should we cut it until later?))
[19:14] <TornSkippito> You notice there are no longer any shooting stars.
[19:14] <TornSkippito> ((Yep.))
[19:14]  * Alexis_W pokes ahzela again wiggling her finger in front of her face
[17:58] <Ahzela> "3w... just... run that und3r s0m3 wat3r!"
[17:58] <Alexis_w> "dont have water zela"
[17:58] <Alexis_w> "should we just go back home or something?"
[17:59]  * Alexis_w pokes ahzela's lips with her burnt finger
[17:59]  * Ahzela slaps it away
[17:59] <Ahzela> "I gu3ss? I d0n't r3ally kn0w what w3 ar3 g0ing t0 g3t fr0m this?"
[17:59] <Ahzela> "I m3an w3 w3r3 h3r3 f0r th3 m3t30r sh0w3r"
[17:59] <Alexis_w> "OW!"
[17:59] <Alexis_w> "well yeah, and it was pretty"
[17:59] <Ahzela> "But if y0u d0n't want t0 d0 that th3n fin3 I gu3ss..."
[18:00] <Alexis_w> "we saw most of it anyways"
[18:00]  * Alexis_w puts one arm around ahzela's shoulders
[18:00]  * Ahzela puts an arm around alex's back
[18:01] <Ahzela> "Alright fin3 w3 can g0 h0m3 th3n..."
[18:01] <Alexis_w> "c'mon hotstuff, what's the matter?"
[18:01] <Alexis_w> "do you wanna look at the stars some more?"
[18:02] <Alexis_w> "a bit of a burn aint gonna stop me zelllie"
[18:02] <Alexis_w> *poke*
[18:03] <Ahzela> "W3ll It was m0r3 just a fun thing t0 d0 t0g3th3r I gu3ss?"
[18:03] <Ahzela> "If y0u hav3 s0m3thing 3ls3 y0u want t0 d0 th3n sur3 :P"
[18:04] <Alexis_w> "nah, we are staying for a while"
[18:05]  * Alexis_w pulls ahzela with her arm as she walks back at the stargazing spot
[18:05] <TornSkippito> The rocks are starting to cool, but the slight increase in tempurature makes it a bit more comfortable.
[18:06] <Ahzela> "huh"
[18:06]  * Alexis_w plops down and lays down on the soft dirt.
[18:06]  * Ahzela touches a rock with the gloved part of her hand testingly
[18:06] <Alexis_w> "yeah?"
[18:06]  * Alexis_w absentmindedly sucks on her burnt finger
[18:07] <TornSkippito> The rock is still quite hot, but not enough to burn you through the glove
[18:07] <TornSkippito> but only just
[18:08] <Ahzela> I quickly pick up the rock and move them to near the stargazing spot, then pick some live leaves and grass and place them over the rocks
[18:10] <Alexis_w> "what you doin zela?"
[18:10]  * Ahzela lays on the new pile
[18:11] <Ahzela> "Its warm"
[18:12] <TornSkippito> ((Okay, I meant to say that by only  just, you would burn yourself very quickly if you held it longer))
[18:12] <TornSkippito> ((Rocks don't cool very fast :P))
[18:12] <Alexis_w> ((more burnt fingers then?))
[18:12] <Alexis_w> ((say it made a small fireplace))
[18:12] <TornSkippito> ((Unless you take that back because she would not have laid on burning hot rocks, we got a whole back burn here)
[18:13] <Alexis_w> ouch))
[18:14] <TornSkippito> ((I alt tabbed too long to stop you earlier sorry))
[18:14] <TornSkippito> ((Ya, it can make a firepalce
[18:14] <TornSkippito> ((fireplace*))
[18:14] <Alexis_w> (( Ahzela , do you want a fireplace?))
[18:15] <Ahzela> ((sure?))
[18:15] <Alexis_w> "oh nice"
[18:16]  * Alexis_w scoots closer to ahzela
[18:16] <Alexis_w> "before we got them rocks i was 'bout to ask what you see up there" *points at stars*
[18:18] <Ahzela> "w3 d0n't r3ally s33 anything 0f th3m"

[18:24] <Alexis_w> "you see those 3 stars in a line babe? that's supposed to be a fucking belt. and the two triangles  and the one a bit further to the right are a person and a damn bow"
[18:24] <Alexis_w> "i dont see shit, but there's supposed to be stuff there"
[18:25]  * Alexis_w checks her finger
[18:27] <Ahzela> "H0w did p3opl3 s33 th3m in th3 first plac3?"
[18:27] <Ahzela> "drugs?"
[18:28] <Alexis_w> "i dunno. sounds like drugs"

[18:33] <Alexis_w> "im jokin zellie" i scoot closer, resting my head on ahzela
[18:35]  * Alexis_w stargazes
[18:37]  * Ahzela watches the stars too, resting her head in turn on alex
[18:37] <Ahzela> "What did y0ur anc3st0rs think 0f th3 stars?"
[18:38] <Alexis_w> "i have no idea zela. but i know they saw destiny and thought magic stuff about stars"
[18:38] <Alexis_w> "its kind of amazing in a way, obvs, there's always science related to those"
[18:39] <TornSkippito> ((You guys are probably clear to go without me at this point, I don't have anything else planned. Assume that the rocks are hot :P ))
[18:39] <Alexis_w> "i think the sailors used them as maps"
[18:39] <Alexis_w> ((alright))

[18:40] <Ahzela> "Why did th3y us3 th3m as maps :?"
[18:40] <Alexis_w> "because traveling the sea is hard?"
[18:40] <Ahzela> "Th3y d0 r3alis3 th3y can't s33 th3m at day right?"
[18:40] <Ahzela> ((casual Orea slip))

[18:40] <Alexis_w> "well yeah. but at night its even harder to navigate i guess"
[18:40] <Alexis_w> "so they used those as help? i have no idea really"
[18:41]  * Alexis_w absentmindedly runs her hand (not the one with burned finger) on ahzela's hair
[18:42] <Ahzela> "What ar3 y0u..? 3h what3v3r"

[18:52] <Ahzela> "...."
[18:52] <Alexis_w> "....."
[18:54]  * Ahzela looks at alex
[18:55] <Alexis_w> alexis is looking upwards at the stars, somewhat lost in thought
[18:55] <Ahzela> "I just was thinking ab0ut h0w l0ng i'v3 b33n h3r3"
