Second Flight - [Voice]
Dec. 10th, 2011 12:27 am[An evening stroll for some fresh air outside the apartment reveals something a little bit different than what was expected, for Noelle. Lights, lights everywhere. On the trees, on the houses... it's like the village was suddenly lit up with several thousand fonstone lamps, like part of the Fon Belt itself had come down to illuminate the buildings.
She has to admit, she's a little confused. It seemed innocuous enough, yet so had those things at the top of their journals, a couple weeks ago. She flips open her journal]
Does anyone know what these lights are about? Are they another experiment?

Date: 2011-12-10 06:45 am (UTC)[And when Luke looks outside - sure enough, there are lights everywhere, even outside the window. He grins, and his voice might sound a bit far away, as he's busy pulling on a coat.]
No - Well, yeah, they might be some kind of experiment. But it's for that... one holiday! [Someone sure sounds excited about it, at least.]
[Voice]
Date: 2011-12-10 06:50 am (UTC)I guess that must be something from another world.
[Because they don't have anything like that on Auldrant, that she knows of...]
They are beautiful.
[Voice]
Date: 2011-12-10 06:54 am (UTC)It's a holiday and during the time of it, lots of people put out decorations like lights. They are really nice though, aren't they?
[Voice]
Date: 2011-12-10 07:06 am (UTC)[Luke that isn't very helpful by itself. ^^;]
Someone else I've met here [She's not sure you know Yellow, you see] mentioned Christmas. Is that it?
[She does know you've been here longer than her.]
[Voice]
Date: 2011-12-10 07:07 am (UTC)Yeah, that's it! Christmas! People put up lights on houses and trees to... to make it more festive, I guess.
[Voice]
Date: 2011-12-10 07:08 am (UTC)And, strangely, where has he heard that voice before? It seems strangely familiar.]
Ah, yes...somewhat. However, I believe this is for a particular holiday around this year. [He glances at the responses and - there it is.] Christmas, yes. The gift-giving celebration.
[Or something like that. He doesn't know the details.]
[Voice]
Date: 2011-12-10 07:30 am (UTC)[Maybe it's the fontechist in her, but with this much light... there has to be some sort of mechanism, doesn't there...?]
[Voice]
Date: 2011-12-10 07:36 am (UTC)[Voice]
Date: 2011-12-10 07:36 am (UTC)Well, it certainly does look festive.
[Voice]
Date: 2011-12-10 07:42 am (UTC)[From where she is, she actually starts looking around herself to find them. ..yep, none. Weird.]
Well there are lots of strange things that happen here so... this could be one of them! People here can use magic, right?
[Voice]
Date: 2011-12-10 07:46 am (UTC)Her voice is very guarded, almost stiff.]
So I've been told.
[Voice]
Date: 2011-12-10 07:48 am (UTC)[Given how she's curious as to how the light is being produced, this is quite relevant to her interests.]
[Voice]
Date: 2011-12-10 07:54 am (UTC)[Voice]
Date: 2011-12-10 07:55 am (UTC)[Sustaining light like that for so long, though, purely through magic? Perhaps it's something from a different world, then. Even on Auldrant, most lamps were created by heating fonstones until they glowed. You couldn't just make them appear out of nowhere and glow continually like that...]
[Voice]
Date: 2011-12-10 08:04 am (UTC)[Fontech may not be her area of expertise, but it's still something she's somewhat interested in. Family history, and all.]
Do you want them to turn off?
[She thinks they're pretty, but he seems more annoyed by the spectacle.]
[Voice]
Date: 2011-12-10 08:13 am (UTC)[Voice]
Date: 2011-12-10 08:22 am (UTC)[Even though he has no idea where she is. He's still going outside, though, as he reaches over without waiting for her reply to take the journal with him.]
[Voice]
Date: 2011-12-10 09:44 am (UTC)Though I suppose there's not much one can do if you can't find the mechanism that operates them...
[Assuming they're run by technology at all.]
[Voice]
Date: 2011-12-10 09:46 am (UTC)Wait, Luke-!
[But it's too late, he's already shut the journal. Oh well. She'll just... head in the direction of Community Housing 2, to see if she can meet him somewhere around there.]
[Voice // Action]
Date: 2011-12-10 11:43 am (UTC)It's after that that he realizes he can't see Noelle anywhere. So, with embarrassment hanging over him, he slowly pulls out his journal again.]
Uh... Where are you right now?
[Voice]
Date: 2011-12-10 03:42 pm (UTC)[Voice]
Date: 2011-12-10 06:04 pm (UTC)If you're curious, you could always get up close and try to examine them! [Yellow would try this out if it weren't for the fact that she's short. 8|]

Date: 2011-12-10 06:13 pm (UTC)[It sounds like someone is going to need a bit of the Christmas cheer in the air soon, because she doesn't sound exactly thrilled. She did not enjoy 2010's Halloween.]
