[ where is power? rameel will suddenly be right behind her. ]

Interesting note you have here. Is this supposed to be poetry? A haiku?

[powerplay]

[ Wow hello there. Where did you come from? She turns around and has a big :O face. Let's say they're just around the streets, around the Cafe probably.

And also immediately sniffs them. ]

Who're you? You're not one of those that came out of the tower. [ And then she looks at the note. ] Oh, that is my harrassment note to remind humankind to do their taxes!

[ Bitches hate taxes. ]

[grigori]

[ she is allowed to sniff them and they will smell like nothing particularly special. as for where they came from? who knows. ]

I am not.

I'm one of the Temporals that the other three mentioned. I'm also not human and therefore are above the need to do taxes. I'm above the law.

week 0; tuesday

[ with a raven croak, their daemon perched on the top of their hooded head, satariel will find power after the note and body shenanigans. ]

You guys have been here for a weekend and two days, and you're finding bodies. What a mess - are you okay? I know Mister Rosenkratz got you in the nose, but not just that.

[powerplay]

[ Oh, here they come. ]

Where do you guys keep coming from? How do you even get those bottles I keep throwing in the sea anyway? Can't I just knock on your tower or something?

[ Honestly that's the biggest question here. Because writing is for losers. She just rubs her nose though, which... is still bloody, albeit pretty much dried out now. She just raises her arm in a lazy greeting anyway. ]

'Tis not our fault there's bodies! Probably. The body was super old so unless one of us was here super early or something.

[grigori]

We can kind of - fly? Like a bird, too, but it's a different kind of instant flight? But I don't know how the bottles work, I don't know a lot about magic. And we're not always in the tower, especially since the two, mm, teams? The two teams split up after the Celestials came out.

[ satariel tries to answer, at least. but they reach into their cloak and pull out a handkerchief, offering it to power and gesturing at their own nose. ]

If you want to clean the blood off. But I don't think the bodies are your faults at all. I think probably that's just - something that we can look at as happening because of things in this world.

[ shamsiel can be found in the ballroom with the bottle filled with crushed coral when power finds them. ]

Was...this a gift?

[powerplay]

[ Love me Shamsiel. ]

It's stuff! [ Just... stuff. ] I don't feel like writing and one of you guys said anything's cool, so.

Hey! Deals! What do I have to do to get stuff like my powers too?

[grigori]

[ they're full of love? ]

I suppose that's true.

[ they'll tuck away the bottle full of crushed coral into their cloak i guess. but hmm. ]

You'd have to do something in exchange, however, something like your powers back might be a little more difficult on its own. [ hmm. ] It wouldn't be close to what you'd be used to either.

week 1; wednesday

[grigori]

[ it's the throne room where they can be found today, holding up the bottle and turning it over in their hands with a delighted grin. ]

How did you even get a mushroom in there, Miss Power? It doesn't look like it should fit!

[powerplay]

I have my ways, Watcher!

[ The answer is that she just jammed it in there. The bottles are bigger, she found a small mushroom, and politely requested it go in with her fists. Though it never occurred to me how people are sending out bottles this time around. Do we just jam it into the bubble wall and it gets schlorped in? I hope so. ]

You all really do just come and go as you please, huh? Is that how this entire city changed overnight too? [ More teleportation magics??? She's got her hands on her hips. Hope Suriel is just lounging on the throne. ]

[grigori]

[ that's exactly how it goes yes. "schlorped in" is part of our notes.

unfortunately they aren't lounging on the throne, so power can take it if she likes. they giggle at her answer, but shake their head. ]

Mmm, sort of, but not entirely! We just kind of helped it along.

week 1; wednesday

[grigori]

[ again, power can find shamsiel somewhere with the bottle in their hand. ]

I'm excited to see what you've brought.

[powerplay]

[ I really had to think so hard for this because I didn't just want to give Shamsiel some garbage even though that would also be pretty IC since she doesn't know jack all about arts and crafts.

But here, she's holding up a really haphazard... thing, combined of an empty glass bowl, bits and pieces of coral, umm, there's water in the bowl with sharp pieces of salt pillar evidently placed into it, the pieces so compact and hard and well-weathered for water that it's not yet dissolved. There's some kelp in there, and it looks like she attempted to use it as a form of string or rope to tie some parts together, but kelp can be quite either stubborn or fragile, so it more is just haphazard pieces of ripped kelp... and ultimately wrapped with a bit of old, shitty duct tape she took from the last city.

It all... overall... seems, uh. Very spiky. With as much of the spikiness concentrated towards the top. ]

I couldn't decide one thing I liked so I went with a lot.

[ This is absolutely incomprehensible. How do you even make a model of a cat combined with the Chainsaw Man combined with (miscellany). Maybe if you squint at it, it counts as a form of abstract art? ]

[grigori]

[ h




hm. they're going to stare at it for quite some time and wow. just...wow? they weren't even sure what they were going to get but this is a lot. ]

M, maybe you should explain to me what I'm looking at exactly.

week 2; tuesday

[grigori]

[ satariel comes to greet power, wherever she is, gently turning this. makeshift terrarium around, looking very fond. ]

Hello again, Miss Power. This was a nice gift.

[powerplay]

[ Her best is an idiot. ]

There you are! One of these days I'll find you while you're exiting whatever hidey hole you Watchers coop up in.

[ Whack-a-Watcher. ]

I like this new city!

week 3; tuesday

[grigori]

[ bonks with the bottle from behind when he finds her. not hard, but bonks. ]

Why did you send me sand.

[powerplay]

[

]

Because writing is hard, and just putting stuff in bottles has summoned everyone else so far! And it worked this time, too!

week 4; monday

[grigori]

[ offering her a skewer of meat when he comes to find her, by way of greeting. ]

What's this "super genius strat plan," Power.

[powerplay]

[ Baraqiel really just shot his way up in Power's Watcher cr rankings and just keeps going huh. She takes it with great enthusiasm. ]

Thanks! You're the best! [ Does this mean anything? Time will tell. But alright, she's here to share her GENIUS PLAN^TM (or idea/rough draft thereof). ]

If I put some of my blood into bottles and stuff, could I set a trap for Thursday? The thing that Roxie did the third week and talking about traps with Sheba made me think of it!

Once when we were trying to outsmart this creepy jerk who was supposed to be training us, Denji and I came up with this super genius plan where I put my blood into bottles beforehand to try to spike him. [ That is, manipulate her blood into spears from above through the bottles. She ended up using too much blood though at that time and passed out like, immediately after. She Has Learned Her Lesson. ]

I got some of my blood powers back, could I do something like that?

week 4; monday

[grigori]

[ well! they'll come to power, then, and offer a meat skewer. they're sold everywhere here, there's no reason not to. ]

I'm a little surprised you remembered.

[powerplay]

[ Honestly she would probably forget or purposefully forget but I wanted the excuse to talk. ]

That's 'cause if I ask you in the future for stuff and you tell me I owe you from last time, it's going to be a pain in the butt!

Are the kinds of things you guys ask for just things you like? What do you want?

week 5; monday

[grigori]

[ baraqiel casually offering her a bag of jerky by way of greeting this time. feed the gremlin, make gremlin like you more. yes. ]

What about it, owl?

[powerplay]

[ Gremlin already likes you plenty, sir. This is just going into adoption territory. She's taking it with... bleeding hands. Or more accurately, bleeding wrists. Why did we go from furries to such intense violence, I'm in tears. ]

I was wondering what would happen if one of the people I told about the owl thing died. Do I get to tell a new person?
