Dual Full Moon At The Observatory! [Open Log]

[theendiswherewestartfrom]

What: The night of the Dual Full Moon, people can come to the Observatory and see their home worlds through the broken telescope.
When: January 30 to the morning of 31.

[OOC: This is an open log for anyone to tag anyone.]

As Jack promised, the Observatory is set up for a lot of people to be there. He's shoved tables to the sides to make more open space in the room with the telescope, because he expects that after his letter, many of the heroes will come to see the phenomenon.

Jack, himself, is equipped with sleeping bags and hot chocolate, it might get cold in the Observatory overnight, as he waits for the moons to rise. Only when the rest of the sky seems clear, and the light coming off them both is strong, does Jack dare to peek through the telescope. Zelda's words are still with him. Could the crystalization be harming their own worlds? It's impossible, isn't it?

When Albel received the news from Jack, how could he resist going? For one thing, when Jack Harkness said something, Albel had to believe it was true. For another... how could he pass up the opportunity to be sure that his world still existed? When he'd left, it had still been a question. They were still fighting for that world, for the right to even exist. If it still existed, then it would answer that question.

He hesitated, seeing another man already there. Finally, he asked, "What do you see?"

Kaji is startled away from the eyepiece, "Uh. Oh, sorry."

Wait, no, he'd asked a question, not just wanted his own turn. "I see... It's the way it looked when I left," as if that answers anything.

"It's Earth, but I can still see the red spot where Second Impact occurred. It's a big crater near our South Pole, Antarctica. Some of the coast lines in the southern hemisphere were never the same. So much flooding, but I can even...almost...see where Tokyo-3 is supposed to be." He squints a little as he says it.

"It's strange, 'up' is never quite up when you're looking from space. Not like a map."

Earth. It sounded familiar, though Albel couldn't say he knew much about it. It was somewhere else in the same galaxy as his own planet, the "Milky Way," he knew that much. He thought Fayt's family might have been from there. The "Second Impact" didn't sound familiar at all, though, and he thought Fayt would have mentioned a crater large enough to be seen from space. But if people really were taken from different timelines, and this man was from his galaxy, then Albel became hopeful that perhaps these changes to "Earth" meant a future where Earth still existed. And, by proxy, so did Elicoor.

Albel felt considerably less dread about looking through the telescope now.

"Cartographers don't exactly have the same view," he noted, stepping up to take his turn.
