[Hei appears a ways away from where the normal crowd gathers, carrying a brand new Satake telescope. He sets it up carefully on its tripod and settles in for some quiet time with the stars. He'll talk to anyone who comes by, though.]

Comments

[contract_star]

Like...[Trying to wrap his head around it.]...like stars?

[Pause, and then a whispered, half-awed, half-unhappy,] Damn.

[didorothy]

[nods] Like stars.

...Or glitter glue.

[contract_star]

[And Hei starts laughing, really laughing because oh man, what an image.]

I-I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh...[Can't help it, he starts laughing again.]

[didorothy]

[is also laughing] Well, it does! Not that I'd ever say that to the Guv, but god, it does.

[contract_star]

[Still laughing,] Weird and disturbing but also rather romantic, I think.

[didorothy]

Only the last one if you're going by the 'stars' description.

[contract_star]

[Laughs again.] True. I couldn't imagine the line "and blood like glitter glue" showing up in a poem. Then again I'm hardly a poet.

[didorothy]

I don't know; some of this modern poetry seems to go for that.

[contract_star]

"That" being complete randomness?

[didorothy]

I think they prefer to call it 'post-modernism.'

[contract_star]

[Just laughs. He's in a good mood today :D]
