HOP, SKIP, AND... SKIP. // o, skipping stones

[Starrynight !]

//OOC

Maybe I could hold a contest for this, Starrynight thought as he flicked the pebble across the rippling pool of water born from the stream of water falling from the rocks above. The water weaved between the pebbles and down to the sea, where the lapping waves ate it up hungrily. The pool was deep enough to reach his chest if he sat down- perfect for skipping stones in. (Skipping stones into the waves didn't sound like a particularly good idea- mostly because it would defeat the purpose of skipping).

As the stone sank to the bottom to rest upon the other countless stones beneath, the Astral Seraph grabbed a larger stone, this time chucking it into the pool to make a splash rather than skipping. As droplets of water spattered across his fur, he stood up and shook himself. Gradually, the rate at which he tossed stones into the pool slowed to a halt as he lost himself in his thoughts.

  Mizar tilted her head. Watching the purple and white cat toss stones into the water was a strange sight to behold. Those poor rocks. What did they do to him? She padded up beside him, taking a seat. She hummed, turning down to the water's surface. She ducked down, sniffing at the surface until her nose brushed the film. The kitten screeched, throwing herself backward. They didn't have water in space!

  Mizar sat on her back for a few short moments before she jumped back up. She cooed, tilting her head. What was it? She placed a paw in and quickly removed it. It stuck like glue! She shook her paw, trying to rid the substance of her body. Ahh! It didn't come off!

Alcor was close behind his twin, as that had been the usual back in the colony and he didn't think he really wanted to change that up. He didn't get too close to the water; what if it grabbed him or something? It didn't look safe. His gaze focused on the antlered cat. That was weird. Was it glowing? Well, that wasn't the odd part, because Alcor and Mizar also seemed to glow a bit.

"What are you doing? What is that?" The boy asked, gaze following a rock as it sunk until he could no longer see it. His tailtip flicked back and forth as he looked back to his twin. Why had she touched it?! What if it ate her!

Suiteheart wondered if Starrynight had drawn them in. Perhaps he had an unknown power for accumulating space-like objects. The Astral Seraph looked as though he was made of space himself, so maybe that was the case.

Starrynight was a celestial body whose gravity drew others to him, she knew, regardless of out-of-this-world characteristics. Suiteheart admired him. And she genuinely cared for him too.

The thought left a warm smile on her lips as she lumbered forward, dark eyes watching as he tossed stones into the water. The shriek from Mizar was a bit surprising, but Alcor was there so she didn't worry too much. Coming to a halt beside Eternalwar, she asked, "Have you guys never seen water before?"

She shifted her attention to Starrynight then. In her early childhood, her friends had tried to teach her how to skip rocks, but she was never any good at it. No, her stone always sank heavily into the water, which swallowed up her dreams of skimming rocks. But she had always wanted to learn. [color=#73B1B7][b]"Think you could teach me how to do that?"

Skipping stones was a very fun activity. It somewhat soothed stress and put your mind at ease. Or that's what Luna would like to think unless one was enraged.

The wildcat would take a seat beside the twins and she watched the Seraph before saying. "If anyone's interested- I can also teach a person to skip a stone."

Were there any hobbies that Bastille actually enjoyed? So far, the list seemed pretty fucking limited to just reading. He patrolled frequently, but that was more so to give himself something to do than for actual joy; he did like combat training, for the adrenaline rush, but that wasn't really a hobby. Most things he seemed indifferent towards, willing to partake if others were doing it, but with no true inclination for it himself. Case in point: he wondered over to join them, eyed the stones with little interest, but settled down beside Luna anyway. He studied the twins -- good, they seem to have settled in -- before supplying, [b]"He's skipping stones. It's, uh, a game of sorts."

[Starrynight !]

//OOC

Starrynight hadn't been expecting any members to come and join him by the pool. But where there was one, there would be more. It was certainly inevitable. The feline couldn't explain it, but when the twins grew near, he sensed it without assistance from his smell or hearing. Regardless, he jumped at the sudden shriek, twisting around to stare at the starry twin. "It's water..." he answered in confusion.

Shortly after, a crowd began to form. Had he wanted to be left alone? Maybe. Yet as familiar faces clustered around, watching him steadily select certain stones and flick them across the pool, he began to feel at ease. "Yeah, a little bit. Mostly just thinking, I guess," he answered to Eternal. The exotic tiger had no end to the strange nicknames offered to her clanmates. All of them just had to accept it. Starrynight had a lot of nicknames, anyway. Starrybutt would just have to be added to the list.

As Suite asked him, Starrynight frowned at the round, flat stone in his paw. "I'm not all that good at it myself, but I know half the battle is picking a stone that's flat enough to skip." His body twisted a little bit as he adjusted his grip on it. His arm shot out, flicking the stone like a frisbee. It bounced once before sinking in the pool. "You might have to get Luna to teach you. I can barely do it myself." A giggle escaped him.
