OWL

ROLE: OWL power
almost nothing needs be said when you have eyes

On Thursday, at noon, Ritty catches Power's attention. Both will innately know that they have somewhere to be, and Ritty will be able to lead the way - even if they've never been there before. His form changes, as they're accustomed to, but takes that of an owl, just like he did the first curfew they experienced in Cittàgazze. This is surprising, but somehow not unexpected? Weird. As they make their way to their final destination, Baraqiel can be found waiting for the two of them, arms crossed, something almost amused about them.

After finishing their business, Power and Ritty will not be able to return to this location again without being invited back, regardless of whether they attempt to return on the same day or in the same week. Ritty will be able to take his owl form again on his own, but will revert to one of his original forms upon leaving. Power and Ritty both will know that this form cannot be shared openly, and that caution should be practiced with sharing it privately, as well.

For your OOC reference, mod tags will typically begin 8 AM EST / 5 AM PST / 9 PM JST. You can tag in to talk to Baraqiel immediately after receiving the link.


As the owl, Power will find herself being able to stay up past curfew. This will allow for her to be able to investigate the setting, with the same amount of freedom to move around as a killer or victim would have. However, there's a catch - should Power witness the murder, but not choose the correct timing/actions, she will not be able to actively interfere in the act, whether for the sake of the killer or the victim. Additionally, Power won't be able to clearly make out either party, but neither killer nor victim will ever be aware of her or Authority's presence. But there might be a chance of doing more if the timing is right...

Actions depend on investigation results. If a location doesn't have anything of importance, no further action can be taken in that location; however, Power can opt to devote a full follow-up investigation to one location result at the cost of not being able to follow-up on the results of another. Power and Authority can also split up - however, Authority will be required to roll a d20 check to see how effective he is. This also means Power's investigation will be less thorough, as her attention will be split in two places.

Additionally, Power may use this time to speak directly with her assigned Watcher, Baraqiel. She may ask questions, receive small hints, or simply chat with them, though any information received will be subject to Baraqiel's own discretion.


Keep it secret.
Use your daemon’s owl form sparingly.
You will be able to stay awake past curfew on Thursday night.
You may select a number of locations (2-3) to investigate and the order in which you wish to check them.
Upon being informed of the investigation results, you may choose to investigate further, choose evidence to examine, alter the scene, or to help or interfere with any goings-on, depending on the timing and location.
Much like a witch or shaman, your daemon will be able to travel far distances with no detriment to either of you or your bond. However, this is looked upon with superstition and fear by others, and would give away your role. Perform this sparingly.
Your daemon may investigate separately if you so choose, with the added distance, but will be more limited in action.

Barry!

[ WHAT'S UP MY MAN. She's holding onto Ritty as he rests on her arms now that he's brought her here. ]

Where is this?

[ Ritty makes a little greeting chirp. ]

Oh, you were here? [ Sucks to be Baraqiel, whistling and twiddling their thumbs while Power's out there screaming into the sea. ]

Like the first week? I dunno if last week counts.

I dunno where "here" is.

I got taken to some weird ship in the middle of the sea. That wasn't you guys pulling more weird stuff?

You could've left me a note!

[ Not that she cares but c'mon man. You could've thrown her a bottle. We can exchange notesies. ]

So I guess it's not 'cause I'm a devil that I didn't fall asleep the first week like the wizard did, huh?

[ It's nebulous. I've decided to go with a vague 'she can sort of read but she can't really / doesn't like to write' middle ground. ]

I mean, I was super bored having to rest so I could've totally done with a cool visit. Hey, do you think I can get my healing stuff back? Not being able to heal back up right away sucks even more than not having my blood powers!

[ This is not the right place to ask for such a thing. But hmm. Chosen? ]

Who chooses these kinds of things? Where can I look? So I'm not gonna be trapped inside the same building for the whole night?!

[ Getting more and more excited as she godmods her possibilities. ]

[ Oh no, so Owl Night is just 'we can't communicate' night. Uh Oh. ]

I'm a devil, so if I drink blood, I can heal up really fast from injuries. Really, it's the first time I've had to wait so long for my body to heal... no wonder humans are always sad all the time.

[ There are multiple reasons for humans being sad. Though yeah the fact that instant regeneration isn't a thing is very sad.

Also it counts as godmodding on Power's end because she didn't know she could leave yet but just decided she wanted to anyways. Thank you for supporting her choices.
]

Heck yes!! [ She is super okay and down for this. Anything that keeps her from being cooped up all night! ] I didn't like being trapped inside, so! As long as I get back before the Sun rises, I can hang out anywhere?!

Really?! Very well! I shall do whatever is necessary so that I may have it back!

[ Baraqiel is immediately improving his undeserved reputation of 'alpha nerd'. He didn't even do anything to get it.

She's thinkies on the ramifications of this, though.
]

So if I tell someone, I'll just start falling asleep? I don't want that... [ Sometimes, it pays to be selfish. Oh, but... finding stuff at night. Thursday night? ]

...Tonight? So does that mean I might run into a murder if it happens again?

[ He really didn't, she just walked up to him and assigned him nerd and that was it. He was the first one. The other nerds in the Krankaz cyoa? Merely betas. ]

.........

'Twas an accident.

[ It probably genuinely was. But you know. Bygones are bygones. And they also didn't own up to that crime. ] Very well then! Do I have to bring proof or are you just going to know with your special eyes?

[ She has internally memo'd this info, also. If she can't remember it, Ritty will for her. Huh... so she can work for or against the group at large... interesting. ]

I'll think about what to do with it after looking.

[ She's gotta find stuff first, after all. ]

[ IT SET A PRECEDENT? AWFUL. ]

Deal! [ Unfortunately she is more than happy to take this. Why would you give me this kind of power and then also encourage me to prank? I'm already plotting. ]

Alright, I guess I'll have a look around! Am I going to be able to talk to you later?

[ Submits my locations a bit early just because I'm scrambling around a bit tomorrow. Fuck Power's curfew choices if she's curfewing in one of those places it just means she's dicking around in there for a part of the night because she can. MY PLANNED CURFEW PARTNER LITERALLY MESSAGED ME RIGHT AS I WAS WRITING THIS??? OK FINE. My plans are falling into place. ]
