week 3

[On Sunday morning, there is a small gift waiting for the early risers in the tower: an iron key, dangling from a length of twine tied to the wooden beam across the ceiling at the cross section of the four dorms. Upon further inspection it has a particular symbol on the back half and a note that reads "Well done back there. Here's your reward. - The Alchemist". The key goes to the front doors, where there is the same symbol etched above the keyhole on the lock.

Bad news, two people are dead. :( Good news, you've gained outside privileges. :)

But even with the addition of sunshine and a not-so-safe lake, the tower is still a little quieter, the air a little heavier and the mood a lot more somber.]

(( OOC: Don't forget to submit your orders for any threads that aren't with the Alchemist or Garfield! And don't forget activity check!

[gasp!]

You... you humans can get wet without getting soggy...?!
squidproquos: (seen the light)

[ Soggy...? Ah, right, he's a cookie! Water probably sucks to get stuck in for him. ]

Yes! Humans can. Though, I am someone who has lived in the ocean for years now- I merely look human.
cakerights: (2 eggs)

[personal profile] cakerights 2022-04-06 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
... Ah. [he rolls his eyes] How many creatures ARE there that "look like humans" but aren't? Witches, whatever Lady Bryn is, you...
squidproquos: (repented)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-04-06 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, plenty, to be sure. There are fae beings where I'm from that look human, yet it's said they're also able to take the form of dragons.
cakerights: (12 oz white bar chocolate)

[personal profile] cakerights 2022-04-06 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[urgh. annoying] Why is the human form such a common one...? Aren't all of you from different worlds?
squidproquos: (I've been a nasty.)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-04-06 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
We may be from different worlds, but there seems to be a common vein with regards to that. As for my human form, I gained it so I could attend school on land. So, there's my excuse, at least.
cakerights: (2 tsp distilled white vinegar)

[personal profile] cakerights 2022-04-07 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose there are "humans" even in my world, in the form of those accursed Witches. [he looks at Azul, then at the lake] So you are a creature of the sea? [there IS a mercookie in his world... but Red Velvet hasn't met them]
squidproquos: (and get a kiss of true love.)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-04-07 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ He nods! ]

I am indeed! I'm from a place in Twisted Wonderland called the Coral Sea.
cakerights: (CREAM butter and sugar in a separate bow)

[personal profile] cakerights 2022-04-07 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I see... And what does your true self look like?
squidproquos: (Like I told you)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-04-07 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah...

[ A touchy subject, at least for him. He should expect this question, and yet. He smiles, trying to hide how it doesn't entirely reach his eyes. ]

Not something I feel the need to disclose at the moment. It's nothing to write home about though, I can assure you.
cakerights: (½ tsp table salt)

[personal profile] cakerights 2022-04-08 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[No crumbs off Red Velvet's nose. He doesn't seem very put out at all] Very well, you needn't share your secrets with me. Is what you saw in the depths of the lake also a secret?
squidproquos: (repented)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-04-08 01:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ A more relaxed smile graces his features- at least Red Velvet's willing to drop it. ]

Well, yes and no. It's still a secret, even to me, but I'm determined to figure out just what is lurking under the surface.
cakerights: (1 tsp baking soda)

[personal profile] cakerights 2022-04-11 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... did you see anything interesting at all? Any signs of some sort of creature?
squidproquos: (I've been a nasty.)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-04-12 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, actually. It certainly has been here a while, given all the fish and bird bones I found at the bottom of the lake. And I can't say for certain what it was, but I did feel like I was being monitored.
cakerights: (12 oz white bar chocolate)

[personal profile] cakerights 2022-04-12 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
The bones of small creatures and the sensation of being watched... ominous.
squidproquos: (listen up; this is key)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-04-12 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Ominous indeed. I also saw two glowing red orbs in the distance. I can't be sure they were eyes, but they showed up right before I left.
