right, cant say im much for mass communication without a character limit but needs must. im new in town, got a couple questions, figured i could crowdsource the answers

1. how have you lot not gone mental from boredom? there's got to be something to do around here that isnt poking about that miserable other island

[This is to say that while Crowley is, in fact, genuinely bored, he's also sort of eager to help around the island (he likes feeling useful, don't @ him about it) but if he actually admitted that out loud he'd immediately crumble to dust, because he's a demon, and demons aren't helpful.]

2. follow up to point 1, has anyone got a good grasp of what animals can be hunted? ive seen flowering sheep and furbies and i dont wanna waste energy on something thats not edible

3. bad idea to swim in the lake? yes or no?

4. ill trade my left arm for a bloody tshirt if anyones got a spare

[Not technically a question, but please, he's dying squirtle.]

cheers

why fuckin hunt we have tame-ass cows
lakes probably fine dont swim in the open ocean
probably still a tshirt in the temple clothes room if you look

[demonicmiracle]

gotta admit im a little outta practice with weaving but i could give it a shot
is it a sustainable amount of cows? seems a lot of people around the place and last i checked they take a while to do all that breeding and maturing business
whats in the ocean worth worrying about?
the storytellers temple, right?

[vagabone]

There's a library and a restaurant called the Denny

Also some clothes in the SToryteller's temple. Some of the t shirts are hilarious, if they're still there

[demonicmiracle]

afraid i dont go in much for reading

[This is a lie but it's important to maintain an image.]

this place needs a how-to guide, i missed the memo about spare clothes in the temple

[bibliophilicbells]

What did apostrophes ever do to you?

[demonicmiracle]

they know what they did

[scourgingstars]

Utterly terrible, isn't it? Much as I'm accustomed to doing nothing, it gets painfully tedious around here.

[demonicmiracle]

my previous employers werent big on the concept of time off so im really just not equipped to deal with all this down time

they couldve at least given us a cinema

[journalname]

I have been keeping a garden, myself.

[Sorry to break the text train here, but his big old goat fingers don't do the texting so great]

I grow enough to provide Denny with some crops and herbs, and my tea blends. That is more than enough to keep me busy, most of the time. I do not know very much about hunting, I'm afraid.

[.....]

Oh, but there were some delightful "galaxy cat" t-shirts in the Temple! I am not sure if they are still there, but there were quite a lot when last I saw.

voice

[demonicmiracle]

[That's alright, he's fine with using the voice option for one-on-one conversation, he just felt weird making a broadcast like that. He's not a radio announcer.]

Suppose I could pick up some plants, not really used to growing anything that can be eaten but the principal has to be roughly the same.

[Can he still yell at them? Will that still work as a motivation for the plants to grow? He hasn't tested that part of his powers here.]

Thanks for the tip on the shirts.

[He isn't certain how he feels about the concept of "galaxy cat" but beggars probably can't be choosers.]

[suspecteverything]

Don't you think you're being a bit too damn hopeful that we aren't all insane already? From boredom or a hell lot of other reasons.

[Sure, he has answers to some of those other problems too, but they're just not as important.]

[demonicmiracle]

Oh, that's me alright, ever the optimist.

[He jokes but also... it's not untrue.]

You've got alcohol sorted out, figured that would keep you all from completely losing it.

[postictal]

1. building mostly. gardening. surviving. its a full time job
2. some are edible some arent. some arent worth the price of hunting down. weve got some domesticated ones on the farming islet. thats the big one.
3. yeah probably
4. give the storyteller some stories and they can get you almost anything

[demonicmiracle]

i spent some time with a carpenter a while back, i shouldve listened more when he was talking about his work

[Buddy you can't just refer to the literal son of God as "a carpenter". It's true but you shouldn't say it like that.]

im starting to think the hunting idea might be best left off the table. i hadnt been sure how organised you lot were but you seem to have it mostly together with the whole domesticated animals business

good to know he wasnt full of it when he explained all that

[devilstongue]

Get drunk and wait for this place to explode into torture again. It likes to do that.

I don't know about the other two but I can get you a t-shirt.

[ Beau's Amazing Clothes Pile™ might have something?? ]

[demonicmiracle]

Would love a shirt if you're offering, thanks.

[He still isn't sure if he can even go into the Storyteller's temple so he'll take the option that avoids that for now.

But also:]

Wanna elaborate on the torture business for me? No one's thought to mention that.

[It seems like it'd be important!]

1. idk you tell me. i've been foraging in between training and patrolling, i make things for myself to do, i don't get bored

2. i haven't wanted to waste my ammunition on hunting when they have farm animals that can be slaughtered for meat

3. yes, a horrible idea

4. i know someone who's got like a thousand stories in his bank who might be able to get you something to wear if you need

[demonicmiracle]

training for what?

cant say i need ammunition but i got the memo about the farm now, doesnt seen like hunting is needed much

[Why use a gun when you could use... snake.]

shame, its been a while since ive had a proper swim, couldve been the one decent thing about this place

dunno if itd be worth wasting that one, turns out theres clothes in the temple

[2b_ornot_2b]

1. It is physically impossible for me to go "mental" from boredom.

2. The few animals I've seen on these islands are more likely to hunt you than be hunted themselves. I'd recommend a different hobby.

3. I see no reason why not.

4. A shirt is probably not equal in value to your arm. Perhaps five shirts.

[demonicmiracle]

what are you, a robot?

[He thinks he's funny.]

you might be surprised, im not exactly top of the food chain but i know my way around it well enough

could be the loch ness monster in there for all i know

desperate times, long sleeved henleys arent made for the tropics

[barberian]

Why does the t-shirt have to be bloody?

(strange fashion choice.)

[demonicmiracle]

not literally bloody, its an intensifier
like fucking

[littlemhigan]

i like to

explore. the island
s

although sometimes that bites
me in the ass

theres always farm chores to do if you dont want
to
explore.

[demonicmiracle]

ill be honest id rather avoid the option that could wind up with me dead

[Crowley has a reckless streak, usually, but he's planning to be a bit more cautious without the full weight of his demonic nature behind him. It's one thing to be reckless when the worst fate is discorporation and paperwork. He's not sure what will happen if he dies here.]

does anyone run the farm or is it more a communal deal?

[lesbeau]

why have a regular shirt
when you could have sleeveless top

[Typing is so fucking hard but she's pretty sure this makes sense.]

[demonicmiracle]

[Does it, Beau? Does it?]

like a vest?

[atailoftwoworlds]

1. hunting, the library, hanging out at the denny, talking to cute girls.
2. ur probably better getting meat from the farm animals but there are some u can hunt. some of em are real dangerous though and i wouldnt recommend hunting them without others to help out. if u think its worth it,
3. dunno. havent tried but i havent heard of anyone saying its dangerous. might wanna get a few more answers first.
4. the storyteller will give u stuff if u tell them stories. probably not many if they are just shirts.

[demonicmiracle]

only one of those things is even a little bit interesting

[That's a lie, he's vaguely interested in the library as well, but it won't do to admit that sort of thing.]

kind of getting that message, hadn't known about the farm before
not that i'd need much help, but its best not to waste energy

been a mixed bag so far on the lake, dont think ill risk it

cant say ive had much luck with gods, but i suppose i could give it a shot
