WEEK ONE, SATURDAY

INVESTIGATION(?)



Exciting night, no? Were you able to get to sleep, or did you stay up into the wee hours, seeing that far-off shimmer near the gazebos and listening to the rising rumble of whatever-that-is and wondering when it would come for you?

At least, when dawn finally comes and the shimmer is overcome by the rising light of the sun, it seems that last night wasn't the end. For you.

Instead, once it's morning proper, there's a shift -- like the breeze and the smell after a bout of sudden summer thunderstorm without the storm: the pressure and the oppressive atmosphere of yesterday is gone, just like that. But also: accompanying it a few seconds later is a clean whipcrack of sound, like giant hands clapping together. And a moment after that, you'll feel something pass overhead -- you won't be able to see anything, but anyone outside at the time will find themselves staggered by what seems to be a small shockwave spreading throughout the island.

That's not the only change that awaits you this morning, however.

You might want to get out of bed, if you haven't already, and take a proper look around.

(( OOC: Welcome to our peace week Saturday event, islanders! Please note that this will be run similarly to a normal investigation, but will not be a full investigation. As such, everyone is welcome to explore for the first part of the event, and then we will take a limited amount of people for the second half, investigation-style. ))

[Hooray for applause!

Beelzebub drops from his hover and immediately grabs a handful of nearby foliage to shove into his mouth.]


Don't clap for them. Wasted all of our time.

Oh, I'm not clapping for them, I'm clapping for you.

They were irritating me.

[He doesn't care much for what kind of show he was putting on. Maybe he will care more later.

His wings buzz behind him as he straightens up with a frown.]


Who are you, anyway?

[personal profile] finalmix 2023-05-21 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Me? No one.

[ :) ]

But you can call me Joshua, if you like.

[ a beat, then: ]

Nice wings.

if josh could go fill out beel's permissions real quick I would appreciate it!

...

[He breaks off a branch of one of the overhanging trees, snapping it in his teeth.]

Mn. [It's the best acknowledgement he can give of the compliment, looking the shorter young man over with a stony expression.

Crunch crunch goes the wood.]


Nice bones.

[ josh giggles. ]

I've been told I have a pretty nice bone structure.

Looks delicious.

[His expression does tighten a bit as he takes in an inhale from where he stands. Hm.]

Lean, though. And your scent... [???? Damn. What was that?]

You'd taste weird.

[ he definitely needs like 20 bowls of shio ramen to add to his weight. ]

[ joshua's eyes sharpen for a bit, but it's almost missable unless beel is looking directly at him in that moment, and then he's back to that lilting tease: ]

I'm taking that as an endorsement that you won't be eating me, then.

[Beel thinks on this a moment. Hm. He's run out of his branch snack. What would taste better, more branch, or this guy?

Hm.......]

[With a sigh and a grumbling stomach, his more insect-like form dissipates.]

No. I could still eat you.

But breakfast meat sounds better. I'm going to go get that.
