[WEEK 1, MONDAY AFTERNOON: Laphicet]

[spinatalltale]

[so at some point on Monday afternoon, after everyone has had time to peruse the profiles and digest the announcement of MURDER, Magilou is seeking out Laphicet! wherever he may be. it's not like this island is huge]

Hey, kiddo. Got a moment?

[her smile sharpens. it's a bit sinister now, dark around the edges, and matches the mischief in her eyes]

A fitting answer for Maotelus, the newest Empyrean.

[and she spins around to face him again]

Well, for what it's worth, I don't intend to go along with this little charade we've been forced into. I just don't feel like it.

[props a hand on her hip]

I don't particularly feel like helping everyone else, either. But since I don't really want our world to blow up and turn into smoke, I'll keep an eye on you while we're here.

[that's her excuse for offering him her protection and she's sticking to it]

[chaosbloom]

[He'll take it for now. And in return, he'll give her a warm smile!]

I guess I should be honored to have the protection of the great witch Mazhigigika Miludin do Din Nolurun Dou. But I'll keep an eye on you too! Without stories, we can't learn from the past, after all.

[spinatalltale]

Ah, how poetic! Like music to my ears! Oooh, speaking of stories. . .

[claps her hands together, and suddenly she's holding her journal]

I've already started on the one for this island. I was thinking of calling it. . . Beach Episode. What do you think?

[chaosbloom]

... Any other ideas?

[spinatalltale]

Yow-hooch! Shot through the heart! That was my witty one-liner. . .

[chaosbloom]

Oh, it was a joke? I didn't really get it.

[spinatalltale]

[GROANS]

Nevermind. I'll keep working on it.

By the by, I do have another question for you. Recording the story of this island isn't so easy when half of the game's rules are being kept from me, you know? So. . .

Were you given a role in this game?

[chaosbloom]

Oh... okay then.

[Darn. He was hoping she'd explain the joke.]

No, I wasn't. I don't know anyone who was either, though I imagine most people aren't going to talk about it to just anyone.

[spinatalltale]

[funnily enough? Laphicet is literally the only person she'd believe that answer from right now]

Yeah, probably not. But still! I put out a few feelers to try and smoke that information out, and have gotten absolutely nothing in return.

[chaosbloom]

If I find anything out, I'll be sure to let you know, Magilou!

[spinatalltale]

What a good little information gatherer you are! ☆

At any rate, I'll make sure to return the favor in kind. But only because I'm feeling generous.
