| August 8, 2012 - Comet Festival Day 2 |

 Perry: Well, I have no idea where that shipment went, but everyone seems to be finding telescopes from somewhere! At least the majority of Rescreatians will be able to view the comet. There's still time to find one for yourself, so keep looking if you don't have one yet; don't give up! My calculations predict that Astrum will be- oh... I should probably tell you that Astrum is the official astronomer term for Loyna's Light. Anyway, my calculations predict that Astrum will be passing its closest to Scria in two days' time! I'm very busy with the preparations for the Festival, so please feel free to drop by and lend a hand! Notice from Staff: Please do not share solutions to this Event in any public place on site.

| August 7, 2012 - Scria Comet Festival |
|
|
  This is it! I can't believe it's finally happening. The comet is approaching, and reports of sightings have been happening all over Scria. With the comet so close to us now, there is even the possibility of catching your own samples of shimmering stardust as it descends through Scria's atmosphere.  I ordered a large shipment of telescopes that should cover the vast majority of the Rescreatian population. I insist that you get one for yourself, Loyna's Light is so much more amazing up close! By my calculations, Loyna's Light should be at its most spectacular in a few days' time. I hope you are all there to see it, because I certainly can't wait!  Uh-oh! Perry!  Yes, Astra? Wait, what? No, this is terrible! The shipment of telescopes I ordered has gone missing! How on Scria are we going to be able to view Loyna's Light now? It looks like we're going to need help tracking them down.

| August 3, 2012 - A Cosmic Surprise |
|

  "Greetings, Rescreatians. It brings great delight to an old man to bring you some incredible news. The Comet Festival, celebrating the passing overhead of Loyna's Light across Scria's atmosphere is almost upon us, and in the midst of it all an extraordinary discovery has been made! Allow me to introduce Perry and Astra, our resident astronomers." "Ah! Hello! Yes, my um. My name is Perry and... and this here is Astra! Hehe, Astra stop jumping around, please. You've done enough damage as it i- Astra please! Faheem, I am so sorry about earlier. She has been acting so strangely recently." "No need, young astronomer; I should be thanking you! Rescreatians, an unprecedented discovery has been made thanks to Astra and Perry. I have carried out extensive research into the properties of the rare and valuable gold stardust, but alas, my studies had hit a barrier. I invited Perry and Astra into my lab to see my work on this elusive substance. Astra became extremely excited in the presence of the gold stardust, and underwent an uncontrollable physical change in form that seemed to tear through our world and into the void of space! " "Again, I really am... really sorry..." "Nonsense, young one! Even though this volatile reaction caused Astra to break several of the bottles and phials lining my laboratory, we've discovered something for the first time! When she became covered in a myriad of salts and ingredients, a cosmic radiance overtook her unlike conventional light from any of the four planets. For a single, glorious moment I was allowed sight for a brief moment! I was granted a new form of vision for the duration of the regrettably temporary effect. There is much more to the Myth of the Cosmic Effect than I ever imagined. The old tales are just the beginning! "  "Now you all realize why I brought this to your attention. Oh, what a spectacle it was! Perry also has a surprise for all of you fine folk. Perry? Would you do the honors?" "Oh! Sure. Though I didn't prepare a speech. Ahem- anyways. Well, preparations for the Comet Festival will be underway in a few days! Astra and I are keeping a close eye on the distance between us and the comet, and will keep you posted when we find out the exact dates it will be arriving. It will be quite an event, and I have gifts so that everyone is able to fully enjoy the majesty of the comet each day it is visible in the Scrian skies! It's been a long time dream for me to witness such a sight!" "Lastly, I'd like to chime in and mention if anyone is interested in reading a detailed account of my discoveries on Gold Stardust, I have written a book of my experience! It's called 'Gold Stardust and the Cyid' and being sold at Book Bargains!"  Book Giveaway! Are you going to attend the Comet Festival? The first 60 users who post a comment with an answer will be in the running to win a copy of "Gold Stardust and the Cyid"! Twenty winners will be chosen at random. |
