ACTION Enchanted Forest / Spa Time
WHEN Upon reaching the system (Jan. 4) to leaving it (Jan. 31)

[ It's another day, another planet for the Drift Fleet to explore. Whether it be relaxing in the landing field, checking out the spa (and subsequently getting urged to enter the woods), or taking on the Enchanted Forest's game, there's enough to do for stir-crazy Fleet members.

Just remember one thing: make it look good. ]

Oh, the castle was female? ...That does sound like an adventure.

[and he glances at the grey sky glooming around overhead.]

And you'd better pick a pool. Looks as though it may start snowing soon.

[onlyanapple]

I had a theory she was. Most people just settled for a gender-neutral pronoun. But when something has a habit of going screwy every month...well, the parallels draw themselves.

[He grimaces at the mention of SNOW, heading over to a pool. ]

This one'll do.

[heresyandlace]

[oh good. with a pool chosen, Tek immediately begins unbuttoning his jacket and working his feet out of his boots. it seems that stripping right here and slithering into the hot spring is his plan.]

I wonder if the tower that first stole me was something similar. I'd heard that it was a castle before it became the building I knew it as.

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley clearly has that idea, too, but is far too lazy for conventional disrobing. With a snap of his fingers, the clothes are gone, and into the water he slips.]

Ahhh that's better.

Possibly. There were other castles. One of them was a ruined tower, too.

[heresyandlace]

[this topic of conversation is obviously interesting and relevant to Tek's interests, and may even be useful for figuring out the mystery of the Fleet as a whole...

...but he gets completely distracted by Crowley's naked magic trick.

now totally caught between being insulted and impressed.]

Hey! ...Well that is cheating.

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley will just be smug and obnoxious about it, leaning back on the side of the pool, resting his head back.]

I'm a demon. Demons cheat.

[heresyandlace]

[he huffs, stuck to the task of getting undressed the long way.]

So... where did it go? You can get it back, like that?

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley shrugs, he is relaxed and gives not a single solitary shit right now.]

I don't know, it just goes. I just wish myself up some new ones when I want them.

[heresyandlace]

[ugh, whatever. he's totally not jealous. not at all.

and it's the cold that keeps him from moping further--focusing on slithering into the pool as soon as he drops off the last of his clothing.]

I've seen a demon who could turn itself into a shivering pile of eyeballs, but not one that could blink its clothes out of existence.

[onlyanapple]

I can do the eyeball thing too, if I really wanted. But don't ask me, it's disgusting.

[He shrugs.]

Reality is nothing, you can change it without any effort at all if you have the know-how.

[heresyandlace]

Ugh.

[he rolls his eyes as he settles down and gets comfortable in the water.]

That's terribly insulting to those of us who have put a lot of hard work into that very thing.

[onlyanapple]

Poor baby. My heart bleeds for you, as I play the world's smallest violin.

[heresyandlace]

You should. You've wounded me so.

[he stretches his arms out, lets his eyes close. so comfy now, with his hot spring and deep well of snark to soak in.]

Tell me. What other little tricks can you do that I should be terribly jealous of?

[onlyanapple]

Oh, I can tell. I really can.

[Crowley chuckles.]

Most things. Bending reality is a pretty much all-encompassing type of deal.

[heresyandlace]

[he peeks one eye open to peer lazily at him.]

If you bend reality, why don't you bend yourself out of here?

...Or bend the bars of this cage so the rest of us can leave, while you're at it?

[onlyanapple]

Oh, wow, thank you for that insight. I never once thought of doing that before now.

[Giving him a pointed LOOK.]

I tried. Something's stopping me. Probably the same thing that's stopping me from manifesting anything bigger or more useful than a fucking toaster.
