WEEK ONE, SATURDAY

[killerwaves]

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. ))

[...and he's going to be doing this for a long time.

No amount of speaking to him will break him from some sort of trance-like concentration.]

[conceivesfrenzy]

[ after a good amount of watching temenos basically not move an inch: ]

Did he die?

[dupiety]

[gluttoning]

Leaning over to Alice.]

ghfjhdg

[dupiety]

[You...might have to pry it from his hands, Beelzebub...]

[gluttoning]

[This is so awkward.

He just.

Puts his hand over the screen compeltely.]

Temenos.

[dupiety]

[Smart move.

There's a noticeable shift in Temenos' expression and he glances up.]

Yes?

[gluttoning]

[An exhale of relief. Okay, good, he didn't get cursed by his phone or something else crazy like that.]

...Good, you're okay.

Can I have my phone back?

[dupiety]

[Oops. He did it again, didn't he.]

Oh, yes. Of course.

[Handing it back!]

My apologies for causing undue concern. I have a rather...terrible habit of concentrating a little too deeply at times.

[gluttoning]

[He's quickly checking the battery before switching the whole thing off. RIP his power.]

... Does this happen a lot?

[dupiety]

[Another of today's casualties.]

More than I would care to admit...

[chosenwang]

You should have left him like that a bit longer. Would have been interesting to see if we could mess with him.

[dupiety]

Should you really be saying that to the person who shares a room with you?

[Said with a smile (threatening).]

1/2

[chosenwang]

[ I'm in danger image here ]

2/2

[chosenwang]

I'm just kidding! I wouldn't dream of doing anything to you.

[dupiety]

That's what I thought.

[He will kick Wang Lu out of the bed.]

[gluttoning]

Maybe.

I don't have my charger with me, though. I'd like to make sure my phone doesn't die yet.

[chosenwang]

[ Looking from Tems to Beel. Putting an arm on Beel to pull him away ]

Shhh. Anyways! Show me those pics. [ Changing topic. They can plot later ]

[gluttoning]

[???

Okay well, over here they go. Enjoy guiding him, he's very tall.]

...Ah. Sure.

Hold on.

[He's gotta boot his phone back up, but he'll get the most gallery images back and show them to Wang Lu. He can even see the cryptid shot of Alice running away if he scrolls.]

[microtransactions]

[ whoa, look at him go. ]
