47 Tucanae

A Bright Globular Cluster in Tucana NGC 104, Caldwell 106 The Sun sets late here on a December evening and it’s not truly dark until nearly ten pm, leaving only two hours before midnight. As I rolled the telescope out onto the driveway, Venus was shining like a diamond, high in the Western sky just after sunset. As the sky darkened, Jupiter shone brightly in the North and the brilliant star…

Chapter Twenty-One: Even or Odd

WARNING: PANIC ATTACK AND GAMBLING!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lucy walked along with Freed, Rufus, and Midnight, searching for a sign that proudly proclaimed Celestial Spirit Gate Keys as a prize. They made their way through a wide, dimly lit hallway. It had a line of doors on each side. The hallway had many other people, but not to the point that it was crowded, the small group had plenty of room to move around. Nevertheless, the four stuck close together, all watching the possible wizards surrounding them as they also looked at the signs on the doors. 

Lucy tried to keep her eyes from lingering too long on the people around them. She felt as though she was being watched and it made her uncomfortable. She stepped closer to her friends and crossed her arms over her chest. She jumped a little when she felt an arm wrap around her. Looking up to see who the arm belonged to, she found that Rufus was smiling down at her, his eyes behind his red and gold mask were soft and gave Lucy a strange sense of comfort. 

She unconsciously leaned against him, allowing him to wrap his arm around her body more. She felt warmth radiating off of him. For some reason, she felt comforted and safe, something that she didn't expect to feel anytime soon. She then heard Rufus whisper to her after he dipped his head toward her ear, "are you alright?" 

Lucy could only shrug. She was uncomfortable, tired, and the uneasy feeling she had earlier still hasn't eased even a little. What was the reason behind that feeling? Why did she feel like something bad was going to happen? Was she being paranoid like Rufus had suggested? Should she listen to her gut? She wasn't sure. Her eyes scanned the crowd around them, searching for Terra, Lust, and Nyx. She hoped that they weren't here. Fear rose from within her gut at the thought that those three were here. 

She gulped, her mouth dry for some reason. Very quickly, her skin became hot, suddenly, she was burning. Not like when she's outside under the summer sun, but instead, like there was a fire underneath her skin, burning from inside of her. Her breathing became slightly faster and a little shallow. She gently pushed Rufus away, his body heat becoming too much for her to bare. 

She stopped walking to calm herself. Her breathing steadily became faster and shallower, her mouth was dry, every part of her body was burning hot, her heartbeat was racing, and she felt dizzy.

"Lucy?" 

She wasn't able to recognize who had spoken, but she knew that Freed, Rufus, and Midnight were now watching her. She kept her eyes on the stone floor, unable to look at her friends. A feeling of nausea and fear settled upon her as she stumbled backward, quickly ending up on her ass. As her breathing became audibly quick, she brought her hands up to cover her face, noticing that they were trembling. She placed her hands over her face and brought her knees up to her chest. Her heartbeat was pounding against her chest, the sound filling her eyes to the point that she couldn't hear any other sounds. 

After what felt to her like several minutes, she felt a small hand gently grab her wrist and press something cold and metallic into her palm. She jumped at the sudden cold feeling. The owner of the small hand that held her wrist gently forced her fingers closed around the cold object. Lucy's hand began to hurt dully. Her heartbeat calmed just enough to hear a man's voice speak to her in a whisper, "Princess, breath in through your nose for four seconds." 

Lucy curled further into herself, refusing to make an attempt at the order. The voice repeated, a bit more forcefully this time, "Princess, breath in through your nose for four seconds." 

She finally attempt to do so, managing to suck in a breath through her nose. The voice counted to four as she breathed in before continuing, "hold it for seven seconds." He counted to seven as Lucy held her breath. "Good, Princess," the owner of the masculine voice gently rested a hand on her back, "now breath out through your mouth for eight seconds." Lucy obeyed as the voice counted. 

This process repeated, Lucy breathing in through her nose for a count of four, holding it for a count of seven, and breathing out through her mouth for a count of eight, the voice directing her as she went. The other person, the one who had small hands, continued to hold her wrist with one hand and keep her hand closed around the cold object. 

When her heartbeat had neared its normal pace and her breathing became more controllable. The fire that seemed to be underneath her skin lessened gradually until it was barely noticeable. She moved her legs away from her chest and looked at the people who were with her. She first saw that Loke was kneeling next to her, a kind smile on his face and his hand still on her back. Turning her gaze to the other person who was sitting by her, she found that Tucana was holding her hand closed and smiling at her as well. The female celestial spirit asked, "how are you feeling, Princess?" 

Lucy opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. She tried again, but once again, nothing. She placed her hand over her mouth and coughed, her throat dry. Loke announced, "I'll be right back." He then disappeared with a flash of golden light. He returned after only a few seconds and handed Lucy a bottle of cold water. The blonde accepted it and downed the water after unscrewing the bottlecap. She ended up drinking the entire bottle and sighed before she gave Loke an appreciative smile as he took the empty bottle from her. 

Lucy then looked at Tucana and, after a few seconds of slight hesitation, she muttered, "I'm alright now, Tucana, thank you." 

Tucana's smile widened, her eyes shining with pride in herself for being able to help. Lucy thanked both of her spirits before the pair disappeared back to their realm. Lucy sighed from her place on the floor, her mind still trying to process what had happened. 

A hand rested on her shoulder, drawing her attention, and Freed questioned with worry clear in his voice and on his face, "are you alright? You scared us." 

Lucy looked away from him, feeling ashamed of herself for letting her friends see her like that, as well as for scaring them. She responded softly, "I'm sorry." 

Rufus asked from where he stood on her other side, "for what?" 

Lucy heaved a sigh, "for what you just saw." 

Midnight was the next to speak, "we don't have time for this. We need to move on." 

Freed scolded him, "don't you realize what just happened? Lucy doesn't need to feel overwhelmed and rushed right now!" 

Lucy pushed his hand off of her shoulder and stood up, saying, "no, Midnight is right. We need to find all of the keys here as soon as possible." 

She pushed past Midnight, ignoring the sounds of Freed and Rufus urging her to stop. She kept her eyes on the doors that she passed, forcing herself to not think about the feeling of being watched that began to weigh on her and the uneasy feeling that was still nestled into her gut. 

She eventually caught sight of a sign that had the words she was searching for etched into it. With a small smile appearing on her face, she raced toward the door and looked at the sign, reading it. 

'Two Celestial Spirit Gate Keys up for gamble!'

Feeling a rush of relief, she grabbed the doorknob, twisted it, and pushed the door open, stepping inside to find the room empty, save for a man sitting at a desk in a swivel chair. There were also two couches on opposite sides of a coffee table. She walked toward the man, hearing her three partners walk in behind her and close the door. The man smiled at the group, greeting them, "welcome to my den! You're here to gamble, I presume." 

Lucy nodded, her brow furrowed in determination. She didn't care that she's never gambled before, nor did she care what the game was, she was determined to win the keys. She watched as the man stood up and walked around the desk, observing that he had long, brown hair that was pulled into a high ponytail, brown eyes, pale skin, and was dressed in a burgundy suit jacket with a white dress shirt and black pants. 

The man spoke again, sitting on one of the couches that were on opposite sides of a coffee table. He gestured toward the other couch as he spoke again, "whoever is gambling against me, please sit." 

Lucy instantly moved around the couch and plopped down. She wasn't going to let Freed, Rufus, or Midnight get an opportunity to take the challenge for her, or any of the other challenges that are to follow. This was her mission and she was going to do as much of the work as she can. Her three companions were merely there to assist her whenever she permitted it. 

The man spoke again, "I'm Bub. May I know your name?" 

"Lucy." She said it with a tone that told him she wasn't interested in unnecessary pleasantries. 

Bub chuckled as he stood up and walked toward the desk and opened a drawer, certainly looking for the game that he wanted to play. After several moments of thoughtful humming to himself and of Lucy getting irritated at how long this was taking, Bub reached into an open, wooden box before he walked back over. He sat down again and held up a purple cup and a white die, allowing Lucy to see the items. 

He then spoke, "let's play a simple game of Even or Odd. I will toss this die into this cup. You have to guess if the number that it lands on is even or odd. Do you accept?" 

Lucy stared at him. It was stupid to ask her if she accepted the challenge. There was no way that she would turn away. She remembered what Midnight had said earlier, that the den owners here will cheat and didn't want to pay what they were offering as a prize. She responded seriously, "I have two requests before we begin." 

Bub raised an eyebrow, asking, "which are?" 

Lucy raised a single finger as she answered, "you let me see the keys that you are offering. I want to be sure that they are real." She then raised a second finger as she continued, "you let me analyze the die. I want to be sure that it's not loaded." 

Bub chuckled and tossed her the die before he reached into a pocket and slid the keys toward her. Lucy first looked at the die in her hands. She didn't feel it weighed down on any of its sides. She didn't know of any statistics that showed one side was more likely to turn up than the other sides. She gave a silent sigh, not very happy with the fact that she will need to rely on sheer luck. 

She tossed the die back to Bub as she instructed the three men who stood behind her, "keep an eye on him. Make sure he doesn't try to switch the die." 

She then turned her attention to the keys. She picked up one, observing that the silver key's blade was shaped like a sword while on the circular bow was Medusa's head, looking quite fearsome, as if she was threatening an opponent. 

Lucy was able to quickly tell that it was real. She sat the key back down and picked up the other silver key, observing that the blade was shaped like a standard key, but the bow was shaped like a pegasus in mid-flight. 

She sat the second key down and pushed the two keys toward Bub, saying, "they're real." 

Bub smirked, "you're an expert?" 

"Yes. Now, let's get to the game." 

"Alright, alright." 

Bub held up the cup and die again, pausing in that position for a few moments. He then swiftly tossed the die into the cup and slammed the cup down onto the table, the opening pressed against the wooden table tightly. Bub fixed his brown eyes on Lucy's own, saying, "so, did the die land on an even number or an odd number?" 

Lucy stared at the cup, racking her mind for a number. It was a six-sided die. That meant she had a three out of six chance to get it right. A fifty/fifty chance. She bit her lip and balled her fists on top of her knees. She didn't know what to say. What if she got it wrong? Could she ask for another game? She couldn't lose these keys. She felt panic rise from within her gut. Tears pricked the corners of her eyes and she felt an urge to run and hide from any prying eyes. 

She jumped slightly when she felt a cold touch against the back of her neck. It jolted her back to reality. She blinked the tears away and raised her eyes to meet Bub's. She had no strategy to rely on. She had no visible evidence pointing toward the number that the die had landed on. She had to guess and pray that she got it right. She suppressed a growl when she noticed the smug look on Bub's face. He was clearly enjoying her near breakdown. 

Lucy took a deep breath before she spat out, "it's even!" 

Bub's smirk grew and he lifted the cup. 

Lucy's eyes instantly looked at the die. 

Four. The number that it landed on was four. An even number. 

Lucy felt a wave of relief crash down onto her and she heaved a sigh that reflected this. She had gotten it right. 

Bub clapped his hands once and announced, "congratulations! Take the keys!" He pushed the two keys toward Lucy, who snatched them up before anybody could blink. Lucy stood up and nodded to Bub before she walked toward the door, intending to make her way to their quarters and make her new contracts. 

Lucy glanced at her three friends, who sat on the furniture in their assigned quarters. She set one of her new keys on the coffee table and sighed before she turned around, facing the door, and pointed the blade of her new key away from her. She summoned, "I connect to the World of Celestial Spirits! Heed my call and pass through the gate! Open! Gate of the Hero: Perseus!" 

The sound of a large bell sounded and a bright, silver light shined, quickly fading to reveal the new celestial spirit. Standing before the blonde woman was a tall and muscular man, probably the same height as Bixlow. He had olive-tanned skin, black hair that was short and curly, and sharp, dark brown eyes. He was dressed in a white tunic, and winged sandals on his feet. In one hand was a harpe, a sword with a sickle protrusion. Resting on his back was what looked like a silver, polished shield. Resting on his hip, tied around his waist, was a brown sack that held something heavy. Finishing off the look was a clean, metal helmet, resting on top of his head. 

Lucy smiled, greeting him, "hello, I'm Lucy. I was wondering if you would like to make a contract with me?" 

Perseus sheathed his sword behind his back before he stepped toward Lucy and kneeled in front of her. Lucy watched in surprise and confusion as the spirit took her hand into his and kissed the back of it, speaking, "I've heard much about you, Princess. I would be honored to serve you." Lucy noticed that he sounded oddly similar to Laxus.

She felt her cheeks heat up at the knight-like action. She responded, "um...th-that's great." 

When Perseus released her hand and stood up, she continued, "what days can I summon you?" 

Perseus gave her a small smile and answered, "any day that you need me." 

"What can you do?" 

The celestial spirit pulled out his harpe from where it was sheathed behind his back. He answered, "I don't use any kind of magic skillfully. I use this harpe to fight. The sword on my back can deflect any magical attack, no matter how strong. The helmet atop my head gives me the ability to become invisible. This sack you see contains the head of the Medusa, and with it, I can turn any person into a permanent stone statue. Finally, the winged sandals on my feet allow me to fly." 

Lucy nodded, silently marveling at his cool abilities. Remembering the other key, she turned around to pick it up, holding it for Perseus to see as she asked, "Pegasus belongs to you, right?" 

Perseus' smile widened and he nodded, answering, "yes, Princess. He is my steed." 

Freed spoke from one of the two chairs that were on either side of the coffee table, "excuse me, I apologize for interrupting, but why do you need a flying horse if you can fly on your own?" 

Perseus answered, "do not apologize, friend. The answer is that my sandals allow me to fly with the speed of a peregrine falcon, however, they are incredibly fragile. I require Pegasus for flight, in the event that my sandals break during battle. I also do my best fighting when I have him fighting with me." 

Freed nodded and leaned back in his chair, satisfied with the answer. Lucy turned back to her new spirit and pointed her second silver key at the spot next to him. She announced, "I connect to the World of Celestial Spirits! Heed my call and pass through the gate! Open! Gate of the Winged Horse: Pegasus!" 

In an instant, a large horse, with white feathered wings sprouting from his back appeared. When the silver light faded completely, Pegasus folded his wings at his sides. The winged horse was a beautiful, pure white color, his mane and tail a sparkling gold color, and his eyes were an ocean blue color. Perseus rubbed his hand up and down the spirit's neck, greeting his beloved steed, "it is nice having the same wizard again, indeed?" 

Pegasus neighed and rubbed his head against Perseus' chest. Lucy smiled at the sight, feeling happy to see two friends united under a new celestial wizard again. She asked, "what days can I summon Pegasus? And what can he do?" 

Perseus answered, "you can summon him anytime you wish. He can provide a method of transportation and is quite skilled in Wind Magic." 

Lucy nodded before she reached out her hand. Pegasus stepped toward her and sniffed her hand. He soon walked closer to her and rubbed his head against her, causing Lucy to laugh and pet him. 

Lucy then welcomed her two new spirits into her family and said goodbye before Perseus and Pegasus returned to the Celestial Spirit World. She turned around to look at the men behind her and asked, "should we go look for other keys or stay here for the night?" She stole a glance at the clock on the wall, seeing that it was well into the night. 

Midnight stood up, answering, "it's up to you, I guess." 

Lucy nodded. She wasn't excited about going back out there, but she also knew that she had to collect the rest of the keys as quickly as possible. She decided, "let's try one more den, if we can find one." 

The three men nodded and followed her out of the room, walking down the wide hallway to look for another den that was offering Celestial Spirit Gate Keys.

NGC 362, C104 // AnaTa

Like a galactic glitter bomb in the night sky, NGC 362 is a globular cluster of stars about 29,300 light years from Earth in the constellation of Tucana, the Toucan. It was discovered by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop (1793-1848) in 1826. It is best seen year-round in the southern hemisphere.

Globular Star Cluster NGC 6752 Image Credit & Copyright: Massimo Di Fusco, Aygen Erkaslan

Explanation: Some 13,000 light-years away toward the southern constellation Pavo, the globular star cluster NGC 6752 roams the halo of our Milky Way galaxy. Over 10 billion years old, NGC 6752 follows clusters Omega Centauri, 47 Tucanae, and Messier 22 as the fourth brightest globular in planet Earth's night sky. It holds over 100 thousand stars in a sphere about 100 light-years in diameter. Telescopic explorations of NGC 6752 have found that a remarkable fraction of the stars near the cluster's core, are multiple star systems. They also reveal the presence of blue straggle stars, stars which appear to be too young and massive to exist in a cluster whose stars are all expected to be at least twice as old as the Sun. The blue stragglers are thought to be formed by star mergers and collisions in the dense stellar environment at the cluster's core. This sharp color composite also features the cluster's ancient red giant stars in yellowish hues. (Note: The bright, spiky blue star about 8 o'clock from the cluster center is a foreground star along the line-of-sight to NGC 6752)

Hello! I understand that naming characters can be difficult, I also understand that when we create AU's in which a character is trans or hiding and need to create a deadname/fake name it can be a struggle. HOWEVER-

When it comes to naming Black OC's or giving characters like Sirius and Regulus genderbent/deadnames I will not take any excuses for things like "Siriana" and "Regina". That is about the only family in canon who already HAS a naming convention, and yes, I realise not all of them follow it. However most DO.

So! For your perusal, I have taken the liberty of spending two weeks of my life scrolling Wikipedia to find a list of constellations, star names and star nicknames that could be used instead! Please use them I beg of you.

As a helpful guide, any names already used in canon are starred. Any names that MIGHT be used in canon (it's been ages since I've read the actual books, forgive me if I've missed any) are double starred.

And without further ado I present...

Replaying DQ9 for the first time in a while, and am at Stornway Castle. I inspected the Guardian Statues and was surprised to see that Stornway has two different Celestarian Guardians named; 'Tucana', on the left, and 'Cygnus', on the right.

I've been playing this game for years, and this is the first time I've really paid attention to the statues, so I'm wondering if a lot of folk have noticed this.

I'm also wondering if it's intentional or an oversight. Stornway is a pretty large town, by DQ9 standards, so it might make sense for it to have two Guardians. Equally, I'm fairly sure that it's the only town to have two, even amongst similarly sized towns like Coffinwell, Bloomingdale and Gleeba, so it is still weird.

Thoughts?
