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.
[OOC: This is a mingle log, so please feel free to thread with one another! If you have any questions, go pester gaakishi on plurk, and I will get back to you ASAP!]

hope this is okay!
In the meantime, he carries around a stack of papers more suited to a graduate student--which he most certainly is not--and waits around patiently. Something will open up, right? Right. On top of all that, he's not exactly the most adept at striking up casual, engaging conversations, but he'll try.]
Ah... Is the sky clear tonight?
It's just fine by me!
[...Wait, there's someone attempting t- ... conversation. What.]
...Admittedly it would be easier to observe without distractions, but there are only so many telescopes.
[Aggie you are fifteen stop trying to sound like a growed-up.]
no subject
Ahh, yeah... there are more visitors than I expected, I should have gotten here earlier. Although... I'm trying to spread information about the zodiac outbreaks, so the crowd isn't all bad. [He hesitates. Should he offer her one of his hard copies of the astrology master document? Minus hyperlinks of course when it's in paper form, which is a shame. Or... maybe he should take a hint.]
Uh, I can... stop bothering you if you're working too.
no subject
[There's a pause as she thinks this over.]
May I ask what you mean by "zodiac outbreaks"?
no subject
[And that gets a sharp nod.]
Recently, there was... an "event" that caused a lot of people to... [He inhales sharply before continuing.] ... to lose control of themselves and attack others. Only some--it depended on your star sign.
no subject
[...]
Did the event coincide with some event in the zodiac? Was a sign in the middle of its cycle, or beginning one?
no subject
[He shifts, visibly uncomfortable. How crazy she must think he is. At least she's not brushing him off like some people--mostly natives--have.]
It was in the beginning of the Taurus cycle-- this time. Except it never seems to affect just one sign. That much I know for sure. Uh... how much about this stuff do you already know? [Might as well not waste her time, right?]
