A lunar eclipse is happening tonight! This is for watching it, stargazing, theorizing about the ways this points to the apocalypse, freaking out, hanging out, making out, I'm not ruling anything out because teenagers. Mainly just another place to gather!


Shortly after nightfall, Mimsy abruptly stopped and stared up at the sky. It was the moon in particular that so rapidly caught her attention, primarily due to its present state of being quite obviously impossible. Moonlight reflecting off of her glasses, she pulled on a string of thought to release a calendar spanning several decades of historical data and calculations for future astronomical events, 'checked' it once, twice, and finally confirmed her unnerving conclusion.

"This is impossible," she announced aloud, head still tilted skyward. A critical stare flickered from constellation to constellation to confirm that they were all still in place; they were, which hardly assuaged her concerns, but graciously served to not make this worse.

"I guess it doesn't count as before breakfast until after midnight," America commented apologetically, squinting up at the sky to see what so interesting. "Dang, though, this place has the clearest flippin' skies I've ever seen. Why's the whatsit impossible?"

A third kid was also standing there and it was the same goth kid that had accosted the vending machine before.

"If you're waiting for the world to end," he said soberly, "I've been already waiting for five hours."

A look of awe and the tiniest budding beginning of adoration was directed towards America. She remembered.

This excused the use of the word 'whatsit' when referring to the moon. Maybe she didn't know that it was the moon to which she was referring, Mimsy decided.

"A penumbral eclipse is occurring." She stepped closer to the other girl, near enough that they would both see the sky from a similar angle, and pointed towards the shadowed portion of an otherwise full moon. "The moon should be a waning crescent, one day from a new moon, and an eclipse should not be occurring today. On this date, a penumbral lunar eclipse should only occur in..."

She appeared to be thinking very hard, lost in her mind until she retrieved the dates that she was looking for.

"1933 and 2017." Without turning to look at the stranger, she raised her voice a bit before continuing. "This is not necessarily indicative of the apocalypse."

Gently bumping Mimsy with her shoulder, America added to the apocalypse commentary, "Could be our phones were right all along. 2017 n'such. It's cool as s**t, though, being able to tell just by the moon."

The emo kid got a pointed look, "But seriously, why would you wait if you thought the world was gonna end. That's the sorta time to go do all the dangerous cool s**t folks are afraid of, right? Or at least find someone cute to makeout with."
