Around town- Tuesday night

[fh_animalcrossing]

It was a beautiful, clear night here in Fandom, which meant if you looked up into the sky at the right moment, you might spot a shooting star. Followed by another. Followed by another.

That's right, Fandom was lucky enough to get to witness a meteor shower tonight, where you never know what might happen if you wished upon a star. Or like ten in a row.

There was also a pink owl here for the day, wandering around the island, ready to tell you all about it if you'd like. She was very kn-owl-edgeable.

Eleanor isn't moved often. But the site of beautiful stars shooting through the skies was certainly meaningful to her tonight. And so she made the wish she always made whether it was a birthday wish, or blowing off an eyelash on her fingertips:

"I wish I could meet and confess my love to Stone Cold Steve Austin."

She sighed contently... and then guzzled the rest of her frappucino before throwing the cup on the ground next to a trash can and walked away.

It was a beautiful night. And Stark was out enjoying it. He'd even caught a firefly. He'd released it again after a moment though, in glowy solidarity.

He wasn't exactly surprised by the pink owl, after the otter in the ocean this morning (he still wasn't sure what he was meant to do with a mermaid dress) and the other animals that had been appearing all over. He was just interested and wondering if he should say hello or offer a random item.

At some point, Celese greeted him with a wave of her wing.

"Good evening. Have you been admiring the sky? So many shooting stars tonight!"

[stykera]

"I have," Stark said, nodding. "It's lovely. I don't remember seeing this many meteors before." At least not here on Fandom. "I'm not sure I remember any meteor showers here." It was possible he'd forgotten. It had been a long time since he first arrived here, after all.

"It's a clear night!"

It obviously rained for sixteen days straight before.

"Did you know that shooting stars often occur one right after another?"

[stykera]

"It is very clear," Stark agreed. Unlike some islands where it rained endlessly for weeks. "I didn't know they often occurred like that here. Do you see them often?"

Look, he didn't know if she lived here all the time. It wasn't like he was an expert on current Fandom residents. Maybe the owl lived here and saw this nightly and he'd just never paid enough attention. Or the shooting stars were always off to the wrong side of where he was facing.

"Not just here, but on various other islands," Celeste answered. "Look up, there's another one!"

[stykera]

"You travel often?" Stark asked, looking up as directed. "Do you follow the stars or do they follow you?" Either was possible. Honestly, either was probable.

[fh_animalcrossing]

"That's very philosophical," Celeste non-answered, but she appreciated the question.
