Open RP: Stargazing

Apr 07, 2007 06:16

*Matthew has decided he needs to calm down, and has come to the conclusion that staring up at the night sky is a very good way to do so. To this end, he is currently lying on his back on the roof of the Astronomy Tower, watching the stars and wondering if someone he once knew is looking back at him.*

Marius was up in the Astronomy Tower moodily writing poetry. It was not, by any means, very good poetry, and Marius was vastly irritated with himself for failing to be inspired by the star-lit heavens.

He tore out a page from his notebook, crumpled it, and set it on fire with his wand. "Tweleve syllables per line, rime embracee," he muttered. "Why isn't this working?"

Deciding that his position simply wasn't inspiring enough, he walked over to the other side of the Astronomy Tower. Or, at least, tried to. "Pardonnez- moi!" he exclaimed, nearly stepping on Matthew. "Did not see you zere, Monsieur."

*Matthew sits up.* It's all right.

Don't believe we've met. I'm Matthew.

Marius made an awkward little bow. "Euh, Marius Pontmercy, Monsieur. At your service."

Pleasure to meet you, Marius - may I call you Marius? What language is that, by the way?

Malingo was investigating some very interesting statuary just below the roofline. He'd noticed a gargoyle the other day that seemed, from the ground, to bear a striking resemblence to a geshrat. At the time, he'd put it out of his mind, but now he couldn't sleep, and he'd decided to come have a closer look.

As it turned out, it wasn't so geshrat-ish, after all. The ears were right, but the nose was too big and it had quite an underbite. If it was supposed to be a geshrat, it was done by someone who had never actually seen one. With a sigh, he swung himself around and up, monkey-like, to the roof.

He seemed a little surprised to see Matthew, but smiled slightly. "Do you mind if I join you?"

*Matthew grins back.* Not at all. I'm Matthew.

"Thanks. I'm Malingo," he replied, settling on the roof next to Matthew. He seemed to be meeting a lot of people on the roof, now that he thought of it.

He hadn't taken much time to stargaze yet, and was a little surprised to see completely different stars than he was used to. The geshrat sighed, and muttered, "Just in case I'd forgotten I wasn't in the Abarat, I guess..."

Nice to meet you.

No kidding. Guess different worlds mean different skies as well, huh?
