HELIOLOGY PLOT SIGN-UPS.

[ricksybusiness]

Yo Futurgooglies! As noted on this month's calendar, Rick is gonna spearhead a thing. See this post for deets. If you don't feel like your character would respond to that, feel free to handwave they got roped into it by friends.

Basic rundown:

1. Rick made a bunch of telescopes out of garbage that surprisingly actually work. (He is a genius, just don't think about it.) They are for observing the sun scientifically because magic explanations just don't cut it.
   
2. The telescopes provided by Rick are wirelessly connected to his mini-computer for data collection. There's a small screen (think pager-sized) that will list found sun-related data for those who are astronomy-inclined.
   
3. There is also an idiot-proof, handy light on the side of the telescope that will flash and beep if an anomaly is found.
   
4. Important data will be distributed by me to players chosen via RNG, so make sure you indicate contact preferences in your sign-up comment. Data will be provided by our lovely mods!
   
5. On 8 January, the sky will be clear enough for observation. There will be a mass log for this.
   
6. Characters may choose the vantage point of their choice to set up their garbage telescopes. Climb a tree in the forest, scale the jail you just broke out of, take a chance and perch on the king's castle. Channel your inner Assassin's Creed and parkour wherever the hell you want.
   
7. Team up or go solo! Have a fight over who gets the choicest observation space! Make it a date night watching the stars (just don't ignore the beeps). Escape the guards if you're the guy who climbed up the jail, what's wrong with you.
   
8. Rick will announce the results at some point and it'll be real informative and cool.

Here is a handy sign-up box because I know u love filling things out and I am kind.

questions???

[ricksybusiness]

I'll do my best to answer anything and will ping a mod if needed!

[defenceless]

It'll probably come up in her network thread with Rick right now, but Rin could make familiars to send out with telescopes strapped to them. They appear like birds made out of gems and act like normal birds (they can fly and everything), but will be under Rin's control—everything they see she would have consciousness of, so if their telescopes beep or notice an anomaly, she'll know where it occurred and from how high up.

She can probably send several right up into the sky as far as things can actually go—the loss or destruction of a familiar isn't that big of a deal to her—so my questions are these:

- Can this be done?

- Is there anything that would happen to the bird familiars if they went too high up? Any other information I should be aware of in having her do this, basically!

RICK

[ricksybusiness]

Rick is not telescoping but he is available to harass people in-person. His portal gun will allow him to more or less appear near anyone's vantage point (assuming there's... room), so lmk if you want him around to criticize your character's astronomy skills.

[runningjoke]

please tell peridot shes looking in the wrong direction or something even if she isnt, just be an relentless asshole to her

[adoube]

..............this seems like an excellent time to put together a celestial map, so if anyone would like to join in on the fun, or get roped into this, Dio's gonna be all about the tyrant starscape life :( b



*though should be funny annotating in various alphabets/characters

[anti_altruisms]

...this actually sounds really cool. Also WHITE-HAIRED PEOPLE TEAM-UP??

Pls rope Archer into this.
