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. ))

... Does this happen a lot?
no subject
More than I would care to admit...
no subject
[It must be so difficult, being someone who Thinks. Beelzebub wouldn't know.]
Maybe we can get you a timer.
no subject
Goodness, I don't know if I'd like to know the exact amount of time I spend thinking during one of those spells.
no subject
No, not like that. I thought it would be just be nice to give you a time limit. Like when you set an alarm while taking a nap.
Would that be embarrassing?
no subject
It wouldn't be any more embarrassing than falling into deep concentration in front of you all again. I have my doubts as to its success, but it's worth attempting.
no subject
I don't mind snapping you out of it again. I have to wake up my brother all the time, and he can't help himself about it, either.
Did you see everything you think you needed to see?
no subject
[If Beelzebub can wake Belphegor but not rouse Temenos from his mind palace, something is clearly wrong.]
And yes, I am done looking. Thank you for allowing me the chance. [...] I pray it does not come to this, but in the event that another murder does happen, may I count on your photo-taking abilities once more?
no subject
If we have to, then sure. So long as I have battery. You can even use it, if you want.
Just, uh. Just give it back. Once it's out of power, I can't just make it work again.
no subject
[Do they actually need to be charged? I'm making shit up so Temenos doesn't have to ask what a fucking battery is.]
Are you not able to do the same with that one?
no subject
If it dies, then that's fine. It's not necessary right now. But it's useful to have.
no subject
[No one tell him about photo tampering.]
I will certainly keep its battery life in mind if I ever need of its services.
