The Observers and the Observed

Who: Everyone interested in .~*STARS*~.
Where: Sagittarius labs; topmost floor.
Summary: The renamed Ophiuchus Observatory has been opened to the public, as well as volunteers willing to scan the heavens. Perhaps the answer to the Zodiac Effect truly does lie within the stars...?
Music: LAW
Warnings: Space, also science.
When the Visitors had first seen the Sagittarius Labs last September, the Anoli attacking made it difficult for many to truly get a grasp for the building itself. They were told that the fourth floor connected to the roof, which had been breached, and that they would have to defend the labs.

That was only mostly true.

The building had been constructed with demon-studying in mind, and was thus nearly impossible to navigate on one's own. Hallways went to nowhere, and space did not behave as one would have liked. The roof, for example, was truly connected to the fourth floor. But the fourth floor was not truly only one of four floors.

The deception could be easily noticed from the roof of the Sagittarius Labs, which now housed the renamed Ophiuchus Observatory. The building was much, much taller than it seemed on the outside- it seemed to tower over all the other buildings in the area. The observatory had been used exclusively for keeping an eye on the moon phases before, but with the increased threat of the Zodiac Effect, it had been upgraded to a much more proper catadioptric telescope. To aid citizens and visitors alike in getting to the observatory without having to undergo complex navigation, a service elevator had been installed to lead right to the domed roof. The machine was simple to use, and did not require any training to use- the only request the labs had was that people report any peculiarities they observed in the night sky.

Desco's tail is wagging as she looks up at Tatsuya's stunned face. She kindly pats him on the knee.

"Desco can see you are overcome with her magnificence! Don't worry, Desco is used to it. Don't feel embarrassed!"

"...Yeah, I'm overcome with something alright."

Tatsuya, remember how badly you fair at wielding sarcasm?

[personal profile] tyrantball 2013-05-17 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, no worries, Desco barely understands what sarcasm is.

"Desco knows she is adorable, but she's seven. Desco is flattered, however!"

...Did she just imply...?

"Don't flatter yourself, if I'm overcome by anything, it's either nausea or confusion."

That was....also a joke. ....Mostly.

Desco's eyes just LIGHT UP at this, and she deploys Usatako so she can do a celebratory flying spin.

"YAAAY! Desco is leveling up as a Final Boss! One step closer to the day that humans will be vomiting in fear and descending into gibbering madness at the sight of Desco's squamous and eldritch form!"

The good news was that Tatsuya was slowly getting used to how to talk to whoever this was. The bad news...was that he was basing this off the girl in his grade who loved scary things, so...

"Sure, Your Horribleness."

To his credit, he was getting the feeling that he was being mocked.

She's actually being completely sincere. Also, her tentacles are apparently purring.

"Thank you! Desco's heart is filled to bursting with happiness!"

[personal profile] lighter_flick 2013-05-21 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
This is weird. The whole monster and tentacles thing just screams Nyarlathotep but at the same time, it doesn't seem like she's actively trying to grind his gears and he knew him well enough by now to where he could pick him out from a crowd. ...He hoped.

"Anyway, tone it down a little, alright? What's this Final Boss stuff?"
tyrantball: (MWAHAHAHAHA)

[personal profile] tyrantball 2013-05-21 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Desco puffs up with pride.

"Desco is the Final Boss that will one day shatter mankind's armies and grind their leaders under her adorable heel! And then Big Sis will assume her rightful place as ruler of the world, and life will be an endless parade of beautiful men and chocolate!"

She eyes Tatsuya critically.

"Desco is pretty sure Big Sis prefers her men slightly more beefy than you, but your face is pretty enough that you could get work as an object d'art!"

"What, like in a video game or-" Wait.

....What.

"Don't get ahead of yourself." YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT HIS BIG SIS AND THAT IS NOT OKAY.

Desco nods enthusiastically.

"Yes, exactly like a video game!"

A slight pause as she glances from side to side for eavesdroppers before leaning in close and whispering.

"Desco isn't supposed to say it outside of the next chapter previews, but she is from Disgaeaâ„¢."
lighter_flick: (pic#6191177)

[personal profile] lighter_flick 2013-05-22 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
Stares at her.

Whispers back.

"I don't know what that is."
tyrantball: (Default)

[personal profile] tyrantball 2013-05-22 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Still whispering.

"You must lead a tremendously deprived life. You probably get lots of sleep, at least."

[personal profile] lighter_flick 2013-05-22 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Okay enough of this whispering, you tentacled little smart ass.

"You're literally saying you're from a video game."

Desco adopts a haughty expression as she addresses Tatsuya regally.

"Desco has absolutely no need to justify herself to a walking cliche, Mr. Angry Young Pretty Boy. Desco bets you're from a...a shoujo manga!"
lighter_flick: (13)

[personal profile] lighter_flick 2013-05-22 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Excuse you!?

"No, I'm from this thing called the real world, maybe you heard of it."
tyrantball: (Default)

[personal profile] tyrantball 2013-05-22 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Desco's face is completely straight as she replies.

"No. Is it delicious?"

...okay yeah now she is fucking with you.
