Prompt 7 (Illuminating Conversation): This time of year there are lights hanging everywhere. They come in different colors, different styles, different patterns of illumination. You might not remember when it started, but when you looked at a display, you noticed the lights seemed to be flashing in a specific pattern. When you look away, you might be able to see out of the corner of your eye that they return to normal--but any time you look at them, they repeat the same unique sequence. It’s not just one light, either; almost everywhere you go you can find some light repeating the pattern. Is something trying to send you a message? Could it be Morse Code, or something else? A coincidence? Either way, you can’t seem to decipher the message and it’s getting to you. Especially because no one else seems to notice it.
He had only just started to notice it when he was finally off of his shift and making his way back home. At first it was just the lights that had been hung around the parking lot and paths around the museum, but eventually he started to notice it happening everywhere with the holiday themed illuminations. He couldn't remember if he had seen the same sort of thing happening last year, after all, these lights were the same. But this year he was taking notice.
Was it because he was a Squire now? No... he might have been a Squire last year as well, he couldn't quite remember. In any case, when he had been looking directly at the lights they seemed to be changing pattern, whether it was dimming or changing colors, something was going on.
He wanted to send a message out to any on his ring if anyone else had seen such a thing, but he felt too silly to ask. Surely he was just seeing things, right? Still, he wanted to make sure that nothing untoward was going on and had come out at night, powered in case Chaos decided to show up, and was looking at a group of lights that had been hung in the park area, trying to decipher if there was any particular pattern to it. He wasn't an expert in codes, but he could decode some things with enough time. This though? It seemed too random. He was too lost looking at the lights that he didn't realize that a Senshi was in the nearby area.
