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

[It isn't even annoyance that comes on her face when he makes that offer, a crawl of something that looks more like disgust over her features. She did not come here to be flirted with, or at least not by someone currently male-presenting.]

Unless you're a jacked as hell lady, I'm not interested.

[There we go, boundary established. Now they can continue to soft argue about sleeves.]

Also, doesn't really get cold here, unless you're in a place for it. Mostly humid. Unless you like, don't sweat or something.

[demonicmiracle]

[Crowley's a jerk, absolutely, but he's spent more than enough time presenting as a woman to respect when a line has been drawn. His hand lifts in a gesture of acquiescence, and he makes a mental note to Not Flirt with Beau, even as a joke.]

I've never been jacked in my life, guess that counts me out.

[He could say something about gender, but that just delves into a conversation that he's never really known how to navigate.

Making a joke about his lack of muscles is far easier.]

Wouldn't that be the dream, not sweating. [Hey! Remember when! Back on Earth where he hadn't sweated since he realized he was capable of turning off that ridiculous function of his body.] Don't other islands show up though, now and then? What if the next one's all snow and freezing temperatures?

[Does it work like that? Do the islands have their own micro climates? It's a mystery.]

[lesbeau]

[Sorry Crowley, being a woman is only half the equation. The other half is being able to kill her with only your legs. That's what makes it Spicy. Easy enough to blaze over it though with more topical questions.]

There was one. But it was only one part of it. The rest was warm. One was even an erupting volcano.

[Sooo... heat is absolutely the priority here. Too bad on that one.]

Guess if we find a snow island we'll figure it out then.

[demonicmiracle]

Heard a bit about that volcano, sounds like it was a riot.

[There's..... so much sarcasm there, because this place sure is just, the worst. Or maybe not the worst, but it's definitely up there.]

Well, I'd prefer not to risk it and ruin a perfectly good shirt. Word has it there's plenty of clothes at the temple.

[lesbeau]

[Listen, Beau would agree- the worst.]

It was pretty great before the volcano part happened. Same with the place after it. If you're lucky only the back half sucks.

[But how lucky do they really get? Anyway...]

You just showed up, right? You want stuff from the rabbit, you gotta pay them back favors. Kind of a weird barter system.

[demonicmiracle]

Good to know, guess I'll remember to cut my vacations short.

[His tone is dry, but honestly? He appreciates the candor and the pseudo-advice; if only the back half of the island exploration or whatever the fuck is bad, he can remembering to only go visiting in the early days.]

I've been told, not much of a surprise, there's always something with gods.

[lesbeau]

[It's generally been her experience, but every one is different. Besides, this is networking- anyone who's going to be doing this much on the island she wants as a contact. So she'll give out some more generic info, establish herself as a resource. It all works out.]

Yeah, there's lots of 'em. More uhh, personal than I would've thought. They talk to you pretty directly, but there's like... fifty of us, so probably wouldn't work if they were indirect.
