Who: anyone
When: Day 85, nightfall (forward-dated)
Where: Level 5
What: The Long Night

[if you head upstairs this evening, following the directions of the message on the noticeboard or just as a happenstance, the sun's last rays of light disappear from the sky and as darkness begins to fall, you will find that not all light has fled from the topmost level of headquarters. down amongst the edges of the floor that still have nature clinging to it, a space has been cleared, and is now stacked high with logs and vines, blazing with a bonfire. the glass dome has not quite been covered over here, so the smoke escapes into the night without hindrance.

Noric is there as well, in his full Ophiuchus clothing, throwing one last piece of wood into the fire.]

((OOC: The Long Night event! This will be open to mingle for about an hour or so before Noric formally opens it, and then there will be a thread for personal speakings-into-the-void.))

ETA: formal opening | thread for personal words

[It's a good thing we're doing this after the pollen so you don't see all the awful memories of Lyvus' fall in the bad end. Leaning against his shoulder, quiet.]

[Y-yes, that would have probably be really horrible. Not my cute family. T_T]

[Resting his head on hers.]

[He could say something, but....the quiet is nice right now.]

[It is nice, a nice calm silence, comforting while she takes the time to remember everyone. All the people she lost.]

[All the people lost...certainly seen enough past. And those he couldn't see now and those close to him who had lost someone...the list is always too long.]

[Much, much too long.]

[And that would be confirmation at all the things he missed. The things he's suspected. Different timelines and it hurts to know others were lost, but...at least some had a bit of happiness.]

[But to hear he still left, somehow...old age, what even...]

[No, whatever it was, it didn't matter right now. Instead, he was just going to pull his daughter into his arms.]

[Going easily, wrapping one arm around his back as she scrubs at the tears with her other hand.]

[Baby. >8]

[Just going to hug her a while.]
