WHO: Nicholas D. Wolfwood, the seers of Kaisou, and you!
WHERE: the network
WHEN: after the midmonth
WHAT: take a sip, babes, it's prophecy time.
WARNINGS: none that come to mind

[ Wolfwood's sitting out around the back of his house with a notepad on his lap, holding both a cigarette and a pen in his fingers as Carlo the Ludicolo gyrates a little out of frame with a chicken riding on his weird little hat. ]

Did you know there's a group chat for people with ghosts in their brain?

[ as deadpan as you could like, as he looks down at the notepad. ]

So I ain't got nothing better to do, so I got elected to report the weird shit everybody's been seein' over the past couple of days.

So, Auggie started things off by saying he 'drew the Hierophant, upright'. He says that 'it means like, tradition, social groups, conforming, all that boring shit' and that he 'fucking hate this card without context.' He also mentioned that another anonymous seer had daydreams 'full of rainbows', but jury's out on whether that's significant or he's just gay.

[ shuffle shuffle with the paper pad, take another hit off the cigarette, tap the pen to his next point of order. ]

Takame said he got visions of whatever the fuck a 'Claire's' is, and that there were lots of bows and cute toys and accessories, but the thing that was most significant to him was that it was all colored pink when it's normally sepia-toned. Jinwoo seemed pretty cheerful because he all of his 'pop-ups' had lots and lots of beach scenes, includin' a 'cute little crab' that snipped its claws at him. Hopefully they stay little if we gotta fight something.

The fuck is a crab.

[ tap tap, Wolfwood tries to smoke his pen, looks briefly puzzled, wipes his notepad as he burns a little hole in it, smoke and all. ]

Conversely, Caesar had what we'll call a bad time and said he blacked out for a bit and woke up with his notebook full of scribbles that he described as 'existential dread made manifest' and 'no he did not want to talk about it.' Auggie recommended burnin' it alongside some sage.

I keep seeing a figure of a woman crawlin' out of a well with somethin' in her hand. I do not know what the fuck that means. Exhibit A.

[ he'll lift the pad with all his written notes to show his best doodled impression of a woman with a high ponytail and a tennis racket crawling out of a well, as promised. he did he best. ]

Oh, and Nito sang a song.

[ let him fiddle with his phone a second, enjoy seeing the roof of his lattice seat and the top of his head for a second as he finds the recording and hits play on this month's version of Cryptid Karaoke. ]

And that's it. Good luck figurin' that shit out.

Oh, hey, I know Claire’s—it’s a store, caters mostly to teenaged girls. Popular place for getting your ears pierced, I did it once on a dare when I was younger.

[A beat.]

Don’t do it, by the way, Claire’s is the worst place to get your ears pierced.
illucesco: (the road that will take me to)

I. What?

[You know what, suddenly piercing guns don't sound as bad as "guy with needle and lighter".]

Uh, just—accessories, jewelry, makeup, toys? Like I said, they also offer piercing services, but it's not really safe there despite what they say. You could get an infection, for one thing.
illucesco: (they're waiting to see you)

[personal profile] illucesco 2024-05-21 11:32 am (UTC)(link)
[weakly:] Flying monster what?

[He's trying here, at least.]

I mean, hey, if you wanna take your chances I can't stop you from hitting up Claire's. Flying monster bugs in the desert almost certainly beat ear infections. [He's not about to tell this guy to try American healthcare because yeah fuckin right.]
illucesco: (are waiting to see you beneath)

[personal profile] illucesco 2024-05-21 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm...I'm not gonna lie, I'm trying to figure out how you can smoke a stinger that big, unless I'm missing something here.

[Noctis is thirty years old, he's usually the guy being called a boomer. It's a little bit of a comfort to know he's less of a boomer than Wolfwood is.]

Well. Probably not. If only because next month's Pride month—that's where the daydreams full of rainbows are from, so if you ask me, your anonymous seer friend is gay and having a significant vision. [A sigh.] The entire queer population of Kaisou would flip its collective shit if something went down during Pride month.

—yeah, you can't find heavy weaponry at Claire's. Give it a miss.

Wait. The woman crawling out of a well...

[He's gonna just attach an image]

I mean the tennis racket and the high ponytail are weird but the rest about fits, right? Because that's a famous painting. It's about Truth coming out of her well to shame mankind. It's got a really long complicated name but that's uh- that's about the gist of it.
droptheious: (On a platform in space)

[personal profile] droptheious 2024-05-21 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Kinda? It's more like... truth is spoiling for a fight. Like. Learning the reality of a situation is rough kind of thing.

...But given the nonsense this city throws at us, it could just be likely a woman coming out of a well to beat us with a tennis racket. Who are we to know?

Mm, Jinwoo was pretty excited when he saw those screens... [ Maybe beach trip? Hopefully beach trip. Lapis just wants to lay in the sun and not be obligated to do anything. ]

And this is what a crab is.

[ Attached: itsthecrab.png ]

And about everything else... considering it's pride next month, rainbows are to be expected. But there's a lot of Barbie going on too, with the pink and that song...

...

Do you know what Barbie is?

Hmmm... Usually chill, he's just excited at the idea of going to the beach. Especially after all the everything that's happened. [ She is as well, but she's only just recovered enough where sitting upright doesn't make her feel like she needs a nap. ]

Moooost species of crabs are, but there are a couple that are pretty big. Not like... 'building-sized" big, but enough to cause some concern if you saw it running towards you. Ideally these ones won't get that big.

[ Lapis is not ready to 1v1 giant crabs. ]

Not really, it's not like... vital information to know. Long story short, it's a doll that's really really popular, enough that there's songs about it and has its own colour.
illucesco: (no way off this ride)

And then you just inhale the smoke coming off it. Okay.

[He's probably missing something here.]

The guy who's in charge of the Vogue, right? I've heard of him, but we haven't met—we run in different circles. [He knows about the Vogue, who doesn't in this city? He's just never had a chance to visit.] I'm not entirely sure why just the one guy gets the rainbows, but Pride is a time-honored tradition, so maybe that's what the card was talking about.

[Oh, god, he very much hopes so.]

Hey, take it up with the people in charge of Claire's. Maybe if you make a good enough case they'll start stocking grenade launchers for the teenage girl.
