Did anyone else see the strange lights the other night?

[Warded to Cole]
You don't feel bad or anything, do you? After having touched the lights? I realized just because nothing happened then doesn't mean there wouldn't be some long term effects. You seemed fine at Quidditch, though.

[Warded to Calvin]
You're definitely not too shabby at Beater, but I think your form could use a bit more direction. Any interest in practicing together? I know you've done some work with Todd (and Casper, I believe), but it might be worth more one-on-one time with someone on a team if you're serious about playing.

Those are called the stars, Ramon.

[sochill]

You're right, how silly of me. What would I do without you, Jade?

[odder]

Live in constant wonder of the earth and its beauty, probably.
What lights?

[sochill]

But my world would be so dark and lonely without you, I don't know if I would have the capacity for wonder.

There were waves of small lights out in the forest. Looked a little like colorful fireflies, I suppose, but they weren't. Came with a free feeling of warmth and... nostalgia? Wistfulness? Something.

[odder]

You'd live.

[...] So ground-stars.
That's strange.

[sochill]

I'd die, it would be a tragedy.

You're really going to go with "ground-stars"?

It was very strange. And pleasant until I thought more about it.

[odder]

You'd get thirty seconds of silence and everything.

A rare and only sometimes documented Utah phenomenon. Yes.
I can't believe I have to ask this. But they were just lights? Not blinking out some kind of code? The forest seems fond of those lately.

[sochill]

It would be a secondary tragedy if I didn't.

I had no idea you were so knowledgable about the mysteries of Utah. Color me surprised. But no, no blinking. "Just" lights and feelings.

[orangepip]

That sounds pretty? But pretty things can still be dangerous.

[colemoss]

i don't think it was dangerous. we stayed and looked at it until it went away and nothing happened when i touched it. [...] i don't like to think about where it came from, though.

[orangepip]

Just because nothing bad happened at the time doesn't mean it wasn't dangerous. A tiger that's full up may not eat you, but it's still a tiger.

[colemoss]

yeah. i guess that's true. [...] and i don't like that it had an impact on us either. how we felt. even if it wasn't bad this time.

[orangepip]

I wouldn't trust anything that changes how you feel. How would you even know which feelings were yours after a while?
