[Revali didn't intend to do anything as thanks for the assistance with not having to wear a horrible nun outfit. Having gone along with it...isn't that enough?
Apparently for Medli it isn't. She may not be able to say anything, but he can tell what she's been trying to push him to do. After a few hours of constant screeching from a penguin, he decides to listen because seriously, this is annoying.
[ Ulrika is at one of the many abandoned bakeries, sitting at a tiny table, cheek resting on its surface. ]
So sleepy... Albin, why'd we have to get up so early?
[ Albin laughs at her from his perch on the eaves, before it turns into a yelp as he shifts to his hyena form. 'dog' on the roof... it's fine, he can get himself down. probably. ]
[There she is. Medli was the one to find her -- a penguin waddling into the bakery, finding Ulrika with her face against the table, and the other daemon up there, clearly shifting around when it's convenient the least, haha. Doesn't take long for her to bring Revali!
Well, a honey badger is the one bringing him. Even with the uncontrollable changing it's as if Medli somehow refuses to have the form Revali would prefer -- the pheasant that probably represents him best. Oh well!]
Here I am, Medli. Now what exactly do you expect me to do?
[Be grateful, that's what. Medli climbs on the table, front paws covered with stale flour. Keeping her distance because no way she's touching anyone that isn't Revali, she just...tosses wisps of flour at Ulrika, as if that's going to rouse her up.
And of course, Revali watches because hey, if this ends with someone full of flour and without him having to do things like not being unpleasant, then hey, he won't complain]
Better get this done with before he regrets everything]
It's not 'you', it's Revali.
[Apparently he couldn't help it, he sneaked that as if he's just so greatly offended he was referred simply as 'you'. Kind of petty, but hey, given what Medli is making him do, he wants to keep his overwhelming pride intact despite that]
Apparently this abominable companion is insistent I didn't treat you properly the other day. She's been adamant about "correcting" my behavior today, as if that needed such a thing -- don't you agree?
[Apparently he's now pretty much asking Ulrika to agree that hey, Revali doesn't need to get off his sky high horse]
[ me, glazed eyes as they continue to not introduce themselves to each other, but it doesn't matter because then Revali is Revali and Ulrika ain't taking that lying down ]
... Hey! Don't call her abominable! She's adorable, and you should treat her better!
[ she may not entirely get what a daemon is supposed to be, but she feels the connection and knows it's important. ]
[...well, truthfully, Revali has nothing against Medli -- he fully knows she's important and although he's not sure what's going on with her, he's not going to take risks -- but after all the bullcrap she has made him go through? A word or two against her is all he can do, hah.
Medli seems oddly proud about that, somehow, like biting Revali is this great amazing feat that needs to be mentioned to everybody!]
And now she has brought me here to...to thank you for your assistance the other day. Which, fine, I suppose it was kind of you.
[Judging by his face saying this much seems to have taken some effort]
[ it's a little hard to parse given his bird face, but she managed to understand Goto's stupid face, so she sees it! eventually.
... wow did saying thank you really hurt that much? and he hadn't even said the words himself. what a weird guy. ]
Huh? Oh, don't worry about it - you seemed pretty frustrated, and, I'll be honest - seeing a guy in feathers in that get up? Was a little embarrassing to watch.
[ so really, she did it all for her own benefit! ha! ]
[I can't believe saying 'thank you' is the sort of thing that probably needs a murdergame to happen, haha. Hell, can't even guarantee it will happen]
You should take that specific complaint to the hooded ones from the tower. Even though they say they had nothing to do with it, I still don't believe them.
[Although it was for the best they claimed to not have anything to do with it, if they hadn't, Revali would have shouted at them in public and nobody wants that!]
[That's a lot of missing people. No wonder Revali is out there, bow in hand, ready to search and try to locate at least one of those missing people, Medli waddling behind him. He seems fully focused on his task, looking around and trying to pinpoint anything that looks odd, but...
...it all seems so normal.
...
Does it?]
I just can't tell what's normal and what isn't. Why did this have to be underwater?
[ Ulrika isn't bothering, judging by the way she's chilling in front of one of the abandoned houses. Albin keeps pacing back and forth though, a jittery hyena that just wants to go hunting. ]
We're not gonna see anything until tomorrow, y'know.
[The comment really seems to tick Revali off enough to direct a scathing look in her direction]
Is that really going to stop you? We're talking about several people at once going missing. There's no way all of them are dead.
[And if it turns out they're all dead, then...yeah, things got real bad. Still, if four are merely missing and one is dead, then they should do something about the missing ones, he thinks]
[Revali, much to his chagrin, is forced to stay near the water because Medli is there. Medli has taken quite a liking to the glass shards, diving to get more and more out of the water, and has been at it for two days already. When Ulrika approaches, Revali sighs]
Perhaps it'd be nicer if this animal didn't insist in keeping me chained to the canals.
[Taking advantage he can't get further than three meters away, how dares she. Medli seems quite happy to see Ulrika, though! Already peeking above the water to see if she or her daemon has glass shards to trade with. Medli really wants people to see Revali's memories but also hunts for other people's, hah]
Week 0 --- Monday, perhaps?
Date: 2021-09-27 11:44 pm (UTC)Apparently for Medli it isn't. She may not be able to say anything, but he can tell what she's been trying to push him to do. After a few hours of constant screeching from a penguin, he decides to listen because seriously, this is annoying.
Where are thou, Ulrika?]
Monday is good! morning?
Date: 2021-09-28 01:51 am (UTC)So sleepy... Albin, why'd we have to get up so early?

That works!

Date: 2021-09-28 04:58 am (UTC)Achoo!
[ the flour makes Ulrika sneeze, and Albin sneezes in sympathy. oh look, kookaburra again. ]
Huh? What was that about?! What do you want, youuuuuuuuhhhhhh- Oh hey, it's you!

Think we could embarrass them into giving us stuff?

How can we embarrass someone like them?

no subject
Date: 2021-09-30 11:30 pm (UTC)[Hmmmmm...]
That cannot be comfortable while on the sun. Lure them to the beach, so they will have to take the hoods off.
[But what if they don't even have hair, Revali, then what. Also what are you even going to use as dye]
no subject
Date: 2021-10-01 02:50 am (UTC)[ a tiny lightbulb moment goes off in Ulrika's head ]
Hey, what if we trick 'em?!

Date: 2021-10-01 03:00 am (UTC)[Seems too serious and standoffish. Harder to trick! Suriel and Shamsiel, though, they'd be far easier to trick]
no subject
Date: 2021-10-01 03:12 am (UTC)[ they're probably not expecting anything except not getting assaulted... ]
So if we hide the dye bombs in their hoods, they'll put them on, and bam! They'll never see it coming!
Week 1 --- Friday

Date: 2021-10-20 05:41 am (UTC)I'm saying, you're probably just stressin' yourself out.
... But if they are all dead, we've got a really big problem that you should be saving your energy for anyways.

Date: 2021-10-20 12:36 am (UTC)[ yeah suck it up, Revali. Ulrika goes to crouch by the bank of the canal, waving hello at Medli as Albin cheerfully chirps at her. ]
Or do you not know how to swim or something?
