The Watcher
Word Prompt 18 – Concert
@year-of-the-echidna
…
It’s Tails birthday and Sonic takes them to experience a common human custom. In the meantime, Tails learns a little more about his new brother Knuckles. (Movie Verse) – @year-of-the-echdina – Word Prompt 18: Concert
…
Don’t get caught – that was Tom’s only rule. However, Maddie’s list had been a lot more extensive and thorough. It also included words like illegal, highly flammable, morally questionable, and potentially life-threatening. Which Sonic had insisted were just other ways to say ‘extra fun’ and ‘a strong maybe’.
Tails wasn’t so sure, but he trusted his brother or wanted to anyway. Even so, he felt better knowing that Knuckles was coming along, as the echidna had no problem putting the hedgehog in his place, if he was taking something too far.
This would be their first outing together, that hadn’t involved saving the world or helping with the restoration of Green Hills. It was just the three of them and Tails was practically hopping, he was so excited.
They hadn’t exactly had a concept of ‘Birthdays’ on Mobius. But now that he knew what they were about, he was ready to put in a petition to start one. And it was just that much more exciting knowing that his first one would also be his first year with actual friends to join him. That alone made it impossible for the fox to care about what Sonic had planned for them. All that mattered to him was that it was done together.
“Ready, Buddy?” The hedgehog proclaimed, as they gathered in the yard, all three of them now donned in odd clothing that made them look like common ‘teens’ at least that’s what Maddie had called it.
Sonic had a black shirt with a skull on it, a black leather jacket, and torn black pants. Tails was given a long-sleeved dark blue sweater, black pants, and a baseball cap. While Knuckles had donned his Reno cowboy hat, a matching leather coat, with blue jeans. He looked the most out of place, once they stepped through the portal to where Sonic was taking them.
“Whoa.” Tails proclaimed, his face splitting open with a smile, as he looked around at the massive outdoor stadium, filled with people. Most of which were screaming and cheering, waiting for something to happen on the stage at the center of it all.
“What is this den of madness?” Knuckles grumped, as he came up next to him and looked down over the rim. The ring had dropped them on the roof, where no one would really be able to get a good look at them. yet they weren’t entirely out of place, as there were a few others nearby. Thankfully, they’d all been too focused on the stage to notice their portal.
“Sonic called it – a ‘concert’.” Tails answered, before looking back as Sonic finally joined them, with Tom peeking through for just a second.
“Remember, back by 5.” He ordered, pointing at Sonic in a stern manner and the hedgehog grinned, waving him away. But also winked, like they were sharing a secret. Then the portal closed, and they were left to themselves.
“Alright boys.” Sonic declared, checking his phone. “We got 10 minutes and we’re gonna need snacks.” He stuck his hand in the pocket of his jacket and fished out a wad of cash Tom had given them. “Back in a sec.” Then he was gone.
Excited, Tails followed the example of the other people some distance away and fit his legs through the safety bars, so that he could watch the stage for any activity. Only to look up when Knuckles didn’t join him and frowned.
“You okay?” He asked as his brother was holding the rim of his hat down, to cover his eyes.
“It is quite bright here.” He pointed out, which was true. For being dark outside, the insane amount of lights made it almost look like it was daytime. Just with a much more elaborate array of colors.
Tails felt his ears fall slightly, as he could imagine that Knuckles wasn’t the kind of person to enjoy such a thing. After all, Echidnas were an underground dwelling race, which had made their eyesight rather poor and sensitive to bright lights.
“Here, this should help.” The fox proclaimed, quickly taking the sunglasses off his head and handing them over. It took Knuckles a second to figure them out, as they didn’t quite fit his face, but he was soon able to look around without going blind. “Better?”
His brother turned to him and smiled, reaching over to lay his massive hand on the fox’s head. Somehow managing to seem heavy, while also gentle. “Better.” He agreed and Tails perked up again.
“So – what do you think is gonna happen?” Tails asked, shifting to look below them as far as he could manage, and kicked his feet at the crowd below.
“I do not know. Maddie said there would be music though.”
That was always nice. “Did you have music in your village?”
“We did.” Knuckles stated, calmly walking up to the railing, though he chose not to sit. “We had celebrations for many things. All of which included music. Many – were held under the stars.”
Tails looked over again, as his brother’s voice grew soft and he found the echidna watching the sky, though he appeared rather solemn. Looking up as well, the fox learned why. Once again, the bright lights had blocked his sight. Even the moon was barely visible, despite a little more than half of it being lit.
He didn’t know all that much about The Echidna’s culture, they’d been rare to come by, even before he was born. But he could easily guess that the moon was very important to them. Seeing as their natural fur coloration displayed one.
“What was your favorite?” He asked, trying to come up with a distraction that might make the experience better for Knuckles. He smiled when his brother looked down at him again, which seemed to make Knuckles smile as well.
��Lunaka’Mora.” He quoted and Tails frowned, trying to translate it. Knuckles laughed. “It is the Festival of the Moon Watcher.” He explained, looking back at the sky, despite not being able to see it. “It is the first full moon after the winter solstice. When it is at its brightest and strongest. We would use glowing minerals to mark a star path for our ancestors. Guiding them to the festival and letting them walk among us again. When the moon was at its peak, we would dance for them and play music and bring offerings. Our elders would tell stories of how the stars were born. And battles between the Great Sky Beast and the Moon Watcher, who was said to be our original guardian.”
“What’s a – Great Sky Beast?” Tails asked, leaning forward, his tails flicking with anticipation.
“A creature that was said to have swallowed the stars. When it was defeated, they had to be put back individually. But no one knew their original potions. So, the Watcher decided to form them into images.”
“The constellations.” Knuckles smiled before looking down at the fox and nodded.
“That’s right.”
“What was your favorite part of the ceremony?” His brother’s smile only grew, as he leaned over the railing to tell the story.
“At midnight, the tribe would go silent and watch the sky. It was believed that if a star fell during that time, it would be a message from our ancestors. And the first person to see that star would be the one to receive the message. It would come to them in the form of a dream. That person was therefore known as the Dream-Seer for the coming year.” He looked down so their eyes could meet for a moment. “I was once that Seer.” He whispered and Tails lit up.
“Cool. What was the message?”
Knuckles looked over the edge of the roof for a moment, before closing his eyes and recited it in a calm, quiet tone. “The river does not fear the stone, nor does the tree fear the storm. Walk where the light touches, and you will not be lost.”
Tails felt a pleasant little shiver run up his spine and giggled. “What does that mean?” He asked, but Knuckles only laughed and shook his head.
“I do not know. I was young and accustomed to our elders speaking in riddles. I never thought to ask.” “Oh – well that’s still cool.” The fox murmured and Knuckles looked down at him again, he nodded.
“Yes. It was.”
“Alright.” Sonic proclaimed, as he blurred into existence, carrying a gigantic tray of foodstuffs. Just as the lights around them dimmed and the stage became the only light source. Causing the crowd to explode with sound.
Immediately, Knuckles jumped over to cover Tail’s sensitive ears. Allowing his large, gloved hands to almost completely block out the volume, so his hearing would not be harmed. The fox laughed and beamed up at him, as he held onto his brother’s hands and watched as the stage came to life. And a couple of people dressed similarly to Sonic jumped onto instruments, while a few more took the mics.
“Hello Switzerland.” Their leader proclaimed, which shocked Tails, he hadn’t realized they’d traveled that far to see this thing. But it was worth it just to see how excited Sonic was, when the band declared itself under the name ‘Crush 40’ and started their concert. Despite the cheering crowd, even Knuckles eventually started bobbing his head to the music. And soon they were all singing along with the lyrics.
…
(7 months later)
Knuckles stopped in the hallway of the Wachowski house, raising an eyebrow at the floor, which had been decorated with glowing plastic stars. Slowly he followed the path up to the attic, where he found that everything had been covered in thick, dark sheets, completely obscuring all the light from the afternoon sun outside.
“Hey.” Tails proclaimed, his whole body practically vibrating with excitement, as he stood up from the little device he had placed in the center of the room.
“What is going on?” Knuckles asked, stepping cautiously into the room.
“I have a surprise for you. Can you get the lights.” The fox announced and though he paused for a moment in confusion, the echidna did as he was told. Thus, throwing the room into total darkness.
It didn’t last very long though, as a second later Tails’ device was turned on and the walls and ceiling were covered in a tapestry of stars. Though it was beautiful, Knuckles was still confused, until he realized that he recognized these stars.
They were not the ones from Earth, but from his own home.
“You ready?” Tails asked, almost giddy as Knuckles slowly walked over to stand with him, unable to take his eyes off the sky, until his curiosity got the better of him and he looked down at his little brother.
“Ready for what?” He whispered, almost afraid to ruin the majesty of it all. So, instead of talking, Tails just pointed to one corner of the room, and he looked around to find that a sliver of a moon could now be seen as well. Again, not the moon of Earth, but his moon. The one from his childhood.
Carefully, he walked over and raised his hand to touch the drape where it rose, allowing the light to be cast over his hand.
“It’s in real time.” Tails pointed out and he looked back at the little fox, stunned into silence. “It’s the winter solstice. From back home. It’s happening right now.” He declared, actually hopping around, he was so excited. “And I have music and offerings. We can do the Festival of the Moon Walker.”
For a couple of minutes, all Knuckles could do was stare at him, causing the fox to slowly stop moving and curl up a little, as if afraid that he’d done something wrong.
“If – if that’s okay?” He whimpered, forcing Knuckles out of his stupor, before he just smiled and looked up at the stars again, actually feeling tears in his eyes for a moment. Until he turned back to Tails and lifted the fox up onto his shoulders.
“I would like nothing more.” He said and Tails immediately lit up again, leaning down to wrap his arms around his brother’s neck, as they watched the moon rise into the sky.
…
The End
Lunaka’Mora – Derived from Luna (Moon) and a made-up tribal suffix Mora meaning “watcher” or “guardian.”

Can Residential Metal Roofing Be Installed on Homes with Unique Architecture?
Are you considering a roofing upgrade for your unique home? If so, you might wonder if residential metal roofing is viable for your architectural style. The good news is that metal roofing can be a fantastic choice for many homes, regardless of design. Let’s dive into how residential metal roofing fits various architectural styles and its many benefits.
Understanding Residential Metal Roofing
Residential metal roofing is known for its durability, longevity, and stylish appearance. Unlike traditional roofing materials like asphalt shingles or wood shakes, metal roofs can be adapted to suit various architectural designs. Whether you have a contemporary home, a rustic cottage, or a traditional-style house, a metal roofing option can complement your unique architecture.
Benefits of Residential Metal Roofing
Versatile Design Options
Residential metal roofing comes in various styles, colors, and finishes, making finding the perfect match for your home easy. You can choose from standing seam panels, shingles that mimic traditional roofing materials, or decorative tiles that enhance your home's character.
Longevity and Durability
One of the standout features of residential metal roofing is its long lifespan. With proper maintenance, metal roofs can last up to 70 years. This means you won’t have to worry about frequent replacements, making it a great investment for any homeowner.
Weather Resistance
Metal roofs are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions. They resist heavy rain, snow, hail, and high winds. If you live in an area prone to harsh weather, metal roofing can provide peace of mind, knowing your roof is up to the challenge.
Energy Efficiency
Many metal roofing materials are coated with reflective finishes that help reduce heat absorption, leading to lower energy costs. This is particularly beneficial in warmer climates where air conditioning is frequently used.
Low Maintenance
Compared to traditional roofing materials, metal roofs require less maintenance. They don’t crack, warp, or rot and are less susceptible to mold and mildew, making them a practical choice for busy homeowners.
How Residential Metal Roofing Fits Unique Architectural Styles
Contemporary and Modern Homes
For those with contemporary or modern homes, residential metal roofing can enhance the sleek lines and minimalist aesthetic. Standing seam roofs, known for their clean, vertical lines, can be particularly appealing. These roofs can be installed in various colors, allowing you to create a striking visual contrast with your home’s exterior.
Rustic and Traditional Styles
Metal roofing can still be beautiful if your home has a more rustic or traditional look. Metal shingles are designed to mimic the appearance of wood shakes or slate, providing the charm of traditional materials while offering the benefits of metal. Thus, you don’t have to sacrifice aesthetics for durability.
Unique and Artistic Designs
Residential metal roofing can be customized to fit the design vision of homes with unique or artistic architecture. Metal roofing can achieve curved roofs, specialized shapes, and distinctive colors, offering endless possibilities for creative expression. This adaptability allows homeowners to maintain the integrity of their architectural style while benefiting from the practicality of metal.
Historic Homes
Homeowners with historic properties may be concerned about preserving the original architecture while upgrading to metal roofing. Fortunately, there are options available that can replicate the look of traditional roofing materials. Consult a roofing professional experienced in historic restoration to ensure your metal roof blends seamlessly with your home’s character.
Noise Concerns with Residential Metal Roofing
A common misconception about residential metal roofing is that it’s noisy, especially during heavy rain. Modern metal roofing systems are designed with sound control in mind. Metal roofs can be surprisingly quiet when they are remarkably quiet. This is an essential consideration for homeowners who are concerned about sound quality.
Tips to Minimize Noise
Use Quality Insulation: Choosing high-quality insulation materials can significantly reduce noise transmission.
Opt for Underlayment: Installing a sound-dampening underlayment can help absorb sound and create a quieter indoor environment.
Consult Professionals: Work with roofing contractors who have experience with metal roofs to ensure proper installation techniques are followed.
Environmental Impact of Residential Metal Roofing
If sustainability is a priority for you, residential metal roofing is an excellent choice. Metal roofs are often made from recycled materials and are 100% recyclable at the end of their life cycle. This contributes to a more sustainable roofing option than asphalt shingles, which end up in landfills.
Energy Efficiency and Reflectivity
As mentioned earlier, metal roofs reflect sunlight, which can help reduce cooling costs in warmer months. This not only benefits your wallet but also reduces your carbon footprint. You’re taking a step toward a more environmentally friendly home by choosing energy-efficient roofing solutions.
Maintenance Considerations for Residential Metal Roofing
While metal roofs are low-maintenance, some upkeep is still required to ensure longevity. Regular inspections, especially after severe weather, can help identify any issues early on. Simple tasks like cleaning gutters and removing debris can also prolong the life of your metal roof.
Working with Professionals
Always consult with roofing professionals specializing in g to get the best results. They can offer valuable advice on maintenance and repairs to keep your roof in top condition.
In summary, residential metal roofing is a versatile and practical choice for homes with unique architecture. Its durability, energy efficiency, and design flexibility make it an excellent option for any homeowner looking to enhance their property. Whether you have a contemporary masterpiece, a rustic retreat, or a historic home, a metal roofing solution can meet your needs.

Extend the Life of Your Roof with These Pro Commercial Repair Tips
youtube
When it comes to managing a commercial property, few elements are as critical as the integrity of the roof. Your roof is the first line of defense against the elements, protecting your structure, equipment, and employees from damage. At Lancaster Roofing, we understand the vital role that a well-maintained roof plays in the success and safety of your business. That’s why we specialize in timely, professional, and long-lasting commercial roof repair services tailored to your specific needs.
Why Commercial Roof Repair Should Be a Priority Unlike residential properties, commercial buildings often have flat or low-slope roofs, which require specialized materials and systems. These roofing systems are susceptible to unique problems—ponding water, membrane tears, punctures from foot traffic, or weather-related damage—that need expert attention.
Ignoring even small signs of wear and tear can lead to major issues down the road. Water infiltration, mold growth, energy inefficiency, and structural damage can escalate quickly if not addressed. That’s why business owners should consider routine inspections and prompt commercial roof repair to avoid costly repairs and unplanned downtime.
Signs You May Need Commercial Roof Repair Early detection is key. If you spot any of the following signs, it may be time to call Lancaster Roofing:
Water stains on interior ceilings or walls
Ponding water on the roof surface
Blistering or bubbling in the roofing membrane
Cracks, splits, or visible tears
Loose flashing or metal panels
Sudden spikes in energy bills due to insulation failure
Even if these issues seem minor, they can quickly worsen under heavy rainfall or temperature fluctuations. A proactive repair approach can extend the lifespan of your roof and save thousands in potential damage.
Our Expert Commercial Roof Repair Process At Lancaster Roofing, we take pride in delivering precision and professionalism in every project. Here’s how our commercial roof repair process works:
Inspection and Assessment We start with a comprehensive inspection to identify the root cause of the issue. Our experienced technicians evaluate every component of your roofing system—from the membrane and flashing to the insulation and drainage.
Customized Repair Plan Once the problem areas are diagnosed, we provide a detailed report and discuss the most cost-effective repair options with you. Whether it's a localized patch, seam resealing, or replacement of damaged sections, we tailor the solution to your specific needs and budget.
Efficient, Non-Disruptive Repairs We understand that business must go on. Our team works efficiently and professionally, minimizing disruptions to your daily operations. We use top-quality materials and proven techniques to ensure long-term durability.
Post-Repair Inspection and Maintenance Tips After the repair, we conduct a follow-up inspection to confirm everything is sealed and secure. We’ll also provide maintenance recommendations to help you prevent future problems and keep your roof in peak condition.
Serving All Types of Commercial Roofing Systems At Lancaster Roofing, we’re experienced in handling repairs for a wide range of commercial roofing systems, including:
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)
PVC Roofing
Built-Up Roofing (BUR)
Modified Bitumen
Metal Roofing Systems
No matter what type of roof your property has, our technicians are trained to identify problems quickly and provide reliable, lasting solutions.
The Cost of Delaying Repairs Some business owners hesitate to schedule a repair due to cost concerns, but postponing necessary roof work can be far more expensive in the long run. A small leak can lead to insulation saturation, interior damage, or even structural issues. Emergency repairs and water damage restoration are significantly more costly than proactive commercial roof repair.
Additionally, insurance claims for roofing issues are often denied if the damage is deemed to be the result of neglect. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs help protect your investment and ensure compliance with your warranty and insurance policies.
Why Choose Lancaster Roofing? Choosing the right roofing partner makes all the difference. At Lancaster Roofing, we offer:
Licensed and Insured Roofing Professionals
Decades of Commercial Roofing Experience
High-Quality Materials from Trusted Manufacturers
Fast Turnaround and Emergency Repair Services
Honest Pricing and Transparent Estimates
Customer Satisfaction Guarantee
We’ve built our reputation on integrity, craftsmanship, and customer service. Whether you manage an office building, retail center, warehouse, or industrial facility, we’re the team to trust when your roof needs repair.
Protect Your Business with Expert Roof Repair Your commercial roof does more than keep the rain out—it protects your assets, supports your operations, and ensures safety for everyone inside. Don’t wait until a minor issue becomes a major problem. Call Lancaster Roofing today to schedule a professional inspection or to request a free estimate for your commercial roof repair needs.

Vierapril #6: Dream
Diary of the Thunder Fury, recent days
She fought a lot to get what she has today, and she would be forever glad that she was granted a second chance. After all, she died, and without the regulator on her head, she wouldn't have been there to enjoy what she actually have... Stability, a loving wife, a second girlfriend, a roof to rest and a group that would support her and she would do anything for them. She had it all, she should be content...
Some people thought she never deserved it. One in particular thought she was too lucky for her own good, and forgot from where she came. Forgot who truly saved her lucky ears from complete oblivion... So he set his plan in motion, to remind her where she belonged to and who she had to thank for being still alive and herself in this world.
Reaching her was relatively easy, and he wouldn't raise any suspicion. Since she was brought back to Solution Nine by none other than the Queen of Reason herself, on a streak of insane luck, he was taking care of every single of her needs since she was resurrected. He didn't expected the resurrection to go south because she fell in a levin lake, though... She forgot who she was, how she ended here, everything. She was an empty shell ready to be modeled as a good citizen of Alexandria, and he began his work quickly.
Slowly, he restored her memories, but always forgetting a few that weren't relevant to his plan. Remembering her family? Sure. Her various trauma? Buried in her mind... Only to be resurfaced if he needed to manipulate her at some point. The medic was taking his time, crafting her memories under the guise of "reeducation" since she was paralyzed from the levin surge that killed her. Another side effect of her botched resurrection.
It took three years, which he made her believe it was only six months. She was ready to be free in Alexandria, but he didn't accounted on her personnality resurfacing as naturally as a storm in the Thunderplains. A caring, yet brutal fighter who spent more time helping those in need rather than being the tool to advance the future of Alexandria... Whatever. He would continue to monitor her through "therapy sessions", if only to assess if his work wasn't undone.
But one day, the dome was breached and she left out of his reach, only to rebuild her own life in her own terms. She was still unstable, heavily addicted to the weird energy drinks and was a ticking bomb on the loose... Yet she managed to have her own dream true. This wouldn't do, and it was time to put her back in her rightful place.
He used the temporary shutdown of Solution Nine to knock her stupid cat friend off and then teleport her before using one of his customized regulators... "Manipulators", he called them. They would send her into a nightmare loop of her worst memories, and to hell with the consequences. He should have thought that further... She was completely uncontrollable and excessively violent over anything, except himself. The feedback loop turned her into a living weapon he intended to use, but not here.
He knew of the outside world thanks to her memories, and that snow-cursed land was a good point to begin his new experiences. He didn't accounted for her friends to show up, him being captured, and that stupid cat... It was over. She would kill him once her friends have what they want. She built her dream on top of his crafted nightmare...
But she will relive her nightmares now.

Dark Nights in Georgia
Hurricane Helene’s winds surged in strength as the storm churned over unusually warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico and closed in on the Florida Panhandle and southern Georgia on September 26, 2024. When the deadly Category 4 storm struck Florida’s Big Bend area and then pushed north, winds in some areas exceeded 140 miles per hour (225 kilometers per hour)—strong enough to snap trees, tear the roofs off buildings, and topple power lines.
After the storm passed, millions of people across several states were left without electricty. The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the NOAA-NASA Suomi NPP satellite has a low-light sensor, the day-night band, that measures nighttime light emissions and reflections. It captured views of some of those losses in hard-hit communities in Georgia, including Augusta (above), Savannah (below), and Valdosta (second pair below).
Scientists with the Black Marble Project at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Science Systems and Applications, Inc., and the University of Maryland, College Park, processed VIIRS data to show nighttime lights before and after Helene passed through the Southeast. Data from September 28 were compared to a pre-storm composite (August) and overlaid on landcover data collected by the Landsat 8 and 9 satellites. These three cities were not the only communities in Georgia that lost power.
Data published by Georgia Power showed that power had been restored to more than 840,000 customers by October 1. However, more than 400,000 Georgians still lacked power on that date, including 65,000 customers in Richmond County (Augusta), 38,000 in Chatham County (Savannah), and 40,000 in Lowndes County (Valdosta), according to data compiled by PowerOutage.us. More than 61,000 customers in Florida, 589,000 in South Carolina, and 383,000 in North Carolina were also without power on October 1.
Precision is critical for studies of night lights, said Ranjay Shrestha, a scientist based at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and member of the Black Marble team. Raw, unprocessed images can be misleading because moonlight, clouds, pollution, seasonal vegetation—even the position of the satellite—can change how light is reflected and distort observations. The processing by the Black Marble team accounts for such changes and filters out stray light from sources that are not electric lights.
“Satellite-derived nighttime lights products like Black Marble are invaluable for capturing widespread outages in distributed energy systems,” said Shrestha. “These images not only reveal the immediate impact of disasters at the neighborhood scale but also provide insights into recovery trends over time, aiding in response, resource allocation, and damage assessment.”
The rate at which power is restored after hurricanes can vary significantly based on a variety of factors. Researchers from Florida Atlantic University and Georgia State University analyzed VIIRS data from Hurricane Ian, which roared across Florida in September 2022, and found notable differences in power restoration rates between urban and rural areas and between disadvantaged and more affluent communities.
NASA’s Disasters Response Coordination System has been activated to support agencies responding to the storm, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Florida Division of Emergency Management. The team will be posting maps and data products on its open-access mapping portal as new information becomes available about flooding, power outages, precipitation totals, and other topics.
