    Space Dragon - Vinyl Dial


    Out here in the garden,
    the Space Dragon flies

    A comet's tail behind him,
    roaming space and time

    If the teachings of the ancient ones
    can be explained

    Then technology and magic
    are one and the same

Had a ton of fun working with everyone putting things together this year, everyone's done a fantastic job
JNq0Ryb.pngtumblr_p6m92rH3MJ1w8xkufo5_250.png
Our tale begins.
There's some wacky time-y wime-y wibbly wobbly stuff happening, and we're not a day late. Don't worry about it.

The Observatory was familiar territory to her. Thank the Arcanist for that, of course - her expertise in the field of Astronomy had netted her many chances to use the massive telescope that her patron had used, and she was ecstatic.

Lenses in place… check!

As she set herself up for the first pre-Starfall watch of the season, she felt jittery with excitement. Something was sure to happen - it was what the Arcane flight was known for, after all! If something on Sornieth was gonna happen, the Starfall Isles was the place to be.

Recalibrating the magnification… check!

Polaris was a known eccentric, getting herself (literally) tied up in every job she took, making her very used to checking equipment. If everything wasn’t juuuust right, what was the point?

For the finale, checking the massive lens, of course!

For that, she’d have to fly up by herself. Another odd thing that her coworkers were all too used to, Polaris excuses herself from the inner Observatory to glide outside and onto the telescope itself.

Clearly, if the Arcanist had a problem with this, she wouldn’t be invited time and time again, right?

As she inspected the lens, she took a pause. So far, so good - which was an oddity in and of itself.

Polaris decided to take matters into her own hands, if only for a brief moment - tugging her fieldtools free from her belt, she peered around with naught but her own miniature Observatory.

The night sky was… well, in a word, beautiful. However, nothing out of the ordinary stuck out to her. Naturally, her own telescope was nothing compared to the magnification of the Observatory itself, so she steeled herself and glided back down inside the inner Observatory.

The telescope was ready.

Looping her tail around the stem of the chair that sat at the bottom of the lookout, she operated it with a skill rarely seen outside of well-trained individuals. Polaris took care not to scuff the gold with her claws.

The sky was beautiful here, too. She found herself so enamored by the realm where she lived, that she almost missed the massive, pink oddity gliding leisurely in the otherwise dark space.

While comets in and of themselves weren’t a rarity around here… this was no ordinary Arcane comet. It was a massive, neon beast of a thing, with 3 tails streaking behind it, creating a beautiful braid of pink, blue and purple.

That was definitely not something you saw every day.

Feeling excitement shoot up her spine, Polaris untied herself from the chair and called out to another Astronomer up here with her in order to get a second pair of eyes on this thing. She wasn’t crazy, right?

Considering the distance… it’d be here in time for Starfall Celebration!
Naturally, nothing could make her happier! The Arcane realm itself was throwing a party with them, and this was a party gift! How could it not be?

Polaris absolutely could not contain herself anymore - bolting down the stairs of the Observatory, she absolutely must share the news with any dragon that would listen.

She was a loud sort- many who didn’t want to hear her excitement heard it anyway, and her description made it sound like an odd depiction of a confetti projectile, but there were definitely excited dragons downstairs chattering away about the discovery!

Well, her work here was done, clearly!

Polaris dubbed the comet ‘Irinum’ for ease of reporting. She had a lot of paperwork in her claws, suddenly! Not that she particularly minded, grinning to herself as she heard the excited chatter drift away as she climbed the stairs back to the inner Observatory.

As she inspected the lens, she took a pause. So far, so good - which was an oddity in and of itself.

Polaris decided to take matters into her own hands, if only for a brief moment - tugging her fieldtools free from her belt, she peered around with naught but her own miniature Observatory.

The night sky was… well, in a word, beautiful. However, nothing out of the ordinary stuck out to her. Naturally, her own telescope was nothing compared to the magnification of the Observatory itself, so she steeled herself and glided back down inside the inner Observatory.

The telescope was ready.

Looping her tail around the stem of the chair that sat at the bottom of the lookout, she operated it with a skill rarely seen outside of well-trained individuals. Polaris took care not to scuff the gold with her claws.

The sky was beautiful here, too. She found herself so enamored by the realm where she lived, that she almost missed the massive, pink oddity gliding leisurely in the otherwise dark space.

While comets in and of themselves weren’t a rarity around here… this was no ordinary Arcane comet. It was a massive, neon beast of a thing, with 3 tails streaking behind it, creating a beautiful braid of pink, blue and purple.

That was definitely not something you saw every day.

Feeling excitement shoot up her spine, Polaris untied herself from the chair and called out to another Astronomer up here with her in order to get a second pair of eyes on this thing. She wasn’t crazy, right?

Considering the distance… it’d be here in time for Starfall Celebration!
Naturally, nothing could make her happier! The Arcane realm itself was throwing a party with them, and this was a party gift! How could it not be?

Polaris absolutely could not contain herself anymore - bolting down the stairs of the Observatory, she absolutely must share the news with any dragon that would listen.

She was a loud sort- many who didn’t want to hear her excitement heard it anyway, and her description made it sound like an odd depiction of a confetti projectile, but there were definitely excited dragons downstairs chattering away about the discovery!

Well, her work here was done, clearly!

Polaris dubbed the comet ‘Irinum’ for ease of reporting. She had a lot of paperwork in her claws, suddenly! Not that she particularly minded, grinning to herself as she heard the excited chatter drift away as she climbed the stairs back to the inner Observatory.

Hello, Historical Discovery!

Bopp may only have been a Junior Archivist, but the excited clamoring and details about the “Starfall Sisters Comet” - now that was a strange name - had reminded him of an older comet. An ancient comet, in fact. There couldn’t be that many comets with blue, purple, and pink tails, three in total, could there?

He’d only heard about it from a senior Astronomer - who seemed to think it was somewhat mythical - so it took entirely too long to locate a reference for it. Comet... - the ancient name was out of Bopp’s language skills - with - something indecipherable - Tails and Its Effects. The - more things he couldn’t read - Comet, as - probably a verb - in the Observatory.

“They sure didn’t believe in concise titles, huh,” the Fae dragon mumbled, and opened the volume. A cloud of dust and pink pixie glitter flew into his nose. Several sneezing fits later, eyes watering, Bopp returned to the book. This hasn’t been opened in a while. I guess that’s why they think it’s a myth.

The volume was full of scholarly arguing and star charts, the bulk of it beyond his comprehension. Bopp could only read certain phrases and the faded notes another Archivist made, thankfully closer to modern than ancient. The sentences he saw alarmed him: Danger of space-time distortions. Passes close to Sornieth.

... The archivist had also written Effects increased by... crystals of β-quartz in the hexagonal system, with a space group P6222 and P6422... Ripple effects from comet’s approach felt before comet enters full orbit.

Bopp had little knowledge of geology. Another thing he’d need to ask for advice with... His crest frills rippled in anxiety; space-time distortion sounded portentous. To seal the deal, a drawing imprinted in the book bore a near-identical appearance to the “new” comet. Nope. Nope. Not good at all. A complicated web of spellwork and runes covered the last page. Bopp closed the book, and placed it in his satchel.

The book weighed him down for precious seconds, before he got airborne. Everyone sure had something to say about this comet. It’s almost too heavy! but onward he went. Bopp had to alert the Astronomers. This comet could be really bad...
