As often, Mace is at the library, free to be bugged by students and residents...

Ingress walks over, a large book clutched to her chest. It's a Wizarding picture book of the planets.

"Hi Mace!"

ooc: due to work, I won't be able to tag till tonight, so this will have to be a slowtime. Stupid work.

vaapadmaster November 13 2006, 13:55:53 UTC

"Hello, Ingress. How are you?" What? Is that a smile? Mace was always nice, but this must be the first time she actually saw him smile...

(Cuuurse you, work, cuuuurse you!) (NP, I am leaving for my daily drudgery soon as well, so slowtime is very fine.)

"I'm good. Look what Tom got me." She opens the book to show a working, moving picture of the solar system. "It's all the planets."

vaapadmaster November 13 2006, 14:03:47 UTC

"Earth's solar system?" He nods, looking over it closely...

"Uh huh. Look, that one's Jupiter." She points to the biggest planet, its giant storm swirling across its surface. "It's huge."

vaapadmaster November 14 2006, 01:50:36 UTC

"Two and a half times larger than all the others combined..."

smallestopener November 14 2006, 02:00:27 UTC

"And this one's the fastest. It's called Mercury." She points to the planet fairly zipping around the sun.

vaapadmaster November 14 2006, 02:04:16 UTC

"So close to the Sun..." He guides Ingress' point of view... "That it is tilted in, almost like ready to fall into the star."

smallestopener November 14 2006, 02:14:57 UTC

"But it doesn't because it goes round and round and round. Why do they go around like that? Why do some go fast and some go slow?"

vaapadmaster November 14 2006, 02:18:19 UTC

"The closest to the star, the fastest they go... the sun pulls the planets in, and makes them spin around themselves... the further away, the less is the pull, and the slower they move."

Ingress nods and turns the page. There is the moon, waxing and waning.

"Look, you can see the man on the moon right-" She waits till the moon is bright enough to see the craters that form the illusion of the face. "-there. Though, it doesn't really look like a man on the moon."

vaapadmaster November 14 2006, 02:57:27 UTC

"Well, maybe if you move back a bit, and look from this angle... there, now it looks more like a man."

smallestopener November 14 2006, 03:02:12 UTC

"But what makes all the spots? People?"

vaapadmaster November 14 2006, 03:03:54 UTC

"Craters... meteors and drifting rocks, fall into the moon and make the craters. Hmm, you know it hurts if you jump into water and land on your belly?"

smallestopener November 14 2006, 03:12:51 UTC

"Uh huh. I did that once when we were playing in the pool."

vaapadmaster November 14 2006, 03:16:37 UTC

"Very well. It happens because you are moving fast, and passing from thin air to thicker water. You slow down suddenly when you hit the water, and the impact hurts."

"Something like it happens when a rock, that is moving many times fater than someone diving into a pool, passes from the vacuum of space, to the atmosphere of a planet... the impact is so hard, that the rock breaks and burns. Those are shooting stars."

"The moon does not have an atmosphere, so any rock falls all the way to the surface, digging the holes where they hit."
