[cardio_swindle]

[Someone has been missing for weeks now. But hark, who is that man in the fedora with that suspiciously Indiana Jones-esque bullwhip and three-day scruff? Why if it isn't Tyki. And he's currently sitting in a tree, smoking, and watching the water around the tree he's in

[La de da wandering through, oh look fireflies! Heading over to look at them]

[cardio_swindle]

[They're pretty little lightning bugs. One even lands on Kuzu's nose briefly, lighting up the kid's face, before flying off.]

[And meanwhile a few "logs" detach from around Tyki's tree to start drifting towards the apprentice.]

[bookxsprout]

[Laughs lightly when it lands on his nose, that's a friendly bug. Yet to notice those 'logs', hopefully he'll notice them before they get too close]

[cardio_swindle]

[Tyki isn't even looking... Probably didn't even hear the laugh. But there is another gunshot--aimed in the general vicinity of the water at least. Random chance should let him het an alligator some time, right?]

[payingrespects]

[Standing at the edge of the dock, staring straight at him. Maybe she's just trying to see who it is or maybe she knows and just doesn't trust you.]

[cardio_swindle]

[Something catches his attention, and he pushes the fedora back, looking around until he spots Klaud. He looks genuinely surprised.]

A bit far from home, aren't you general?

[payingrespects]

[Crosses her arms loosely under her chest.]

Are you sure it isn't the other way around?

[cardio_swindle]

Perhaps it's both. [Watching her curiously.] Why are you here?

[itisasillyplace]

...

[He crosses his arms, looking up at the tree.]

Tyki, what are you doing in a place like this?

[cardio_swindle]

[For some reason the "logs" seems to submerge when Cyril comes near. Apparently even alligators know a bigger threat sometimes.]

Brother? What are you doing out here?

[itisasillyplace]

[he gives a sniff] I heard gunshots. But now I'm here, it turns out to have been peaceful all along.

[cardio_swindle]

Of course it's peaceful. I'm here, aren't I? [That means nothing. Wait a minute...]

You heard... Where were you?

[latenightmoon]

You know, I'd love to know why you're dressed like you're from 'Raiders of the lost ark'. [Standing before the logs and watching them with curious interest.]

You've been missing so long I thought you'd been snatched or gone home like all the rest.

[cardio_swindle]

From what?

[Just. Staring down at here. Those "logs"? They have teeth. You know, under the water. And they're drifting closer to Allie.]

What are you doing here?

[latenightmoon]

Movie. I'll show you later.

[Ah, alligators. She rolls up her sleeves and grins at them in a feral way.]

What is any of us doing here? I stopped by because this room seemed new.

[cardio_swindle]

[Apparently these alligators aren't as bright as the ones with Cyril, they aren't backing off.]

I mean here, in this room--stopped by? [You mean he's not towards the top of this place anymore? He can't hide the D= in his expression.]

[binderofxlife]

[There's something slightly off with the Allen taking a sample of swamp water. He stores the little jar in his coat and looks up at him.] Been there a while?

[cardio_swindle]

[Something vaguely familiar perhaps?]

Just a bit. [Why aren't the alligators going for you?]

[binderofxlife]

[Well he did save your bum from the Angels.]

The three'o clock shadow gave you away.

[Take a wild guess and he even steps into their domain.]

[cardio_swindle]

This? [He rubs his scruff. He could be rid of it if he wants, but it's been a while since he let himself get scruffy.]

[Just... Watching suddenly intent. A little bloodbath sounds like entertainment.]

Oi~ You should be careful, boy.
