[ Rather Late Evening Video / Action ]

[celestial_wizard]

[ OOC: Takes place a little bit after this thread ]

[ Excuse her network, for interrupting your late evening, and if the feed is a little shakey. She's fumbling a bit with it, but uh... Lucy isn't really in the best condition right now. She's out of breath, and her voice is strained, but serious. She actually drops the device once or twice before she manages to get it somewhat stable. ]

H-hey. There's... something at the beach - some weird..dangerous thing.
...agh be really..careful if you go there tomorrow; I -

[ Whoops, dropped the device. Dangit. Mind the sand, as Lucy carefully lowers herself to the ground to pick it up - and from that angle one can actually better see she's... kinda bloody. Mostly on her arms, but there's some scuff on her body and... and her right arm is kinda limp, her right hand twitching. ]

I chased it off but if it comes back...

[ Okay she's already at the end of her reserve energy, so she sort of stumbles, letting out a small yelp because broken arms aren't fun. ]

J..just be careful.

[ This time when she drops the device, she doesn't bother picking it up again. Because the feed ends. She'll still respond though, she's just hurting and tired and... for reasons she didn't go into, really really upset. Anyone who might come across her will probably see her sitting at the base of a tree, resting up the depleted energy because srsly guys she can't move. ]

Ouch, ya' poor thing.

What'd they look like?

[He has an idea though.]

Re: video;

[celestial_wizard]

[ Lucy smiles tiredly. ]

I'll be okay. It looks worse than it is.

"You should see the other guy", as how they say.

[ Ha ha ha...aha... yeah she's too tired to laugh. ]

It was hideous - humanoid, but it wasn't... it didn't really look like anything you could call human. It didn't seem to like the light -sun hurts it, I guess. That's probably why... [ Why it stole Loke's key? Maybe. ]

And it seemed to have a problem with magic users.

[onehundredswords]

Bit of a twitchy, spindly sort? Doesn't talk sense?

[He's trying to think of something more...identifying, though. Something specific.]

Did it throw needles at ya'?

[celestial_wizard]

[ She blinks in surprise. ]

Yes. Yes that's the one exactly! It attacked me the second it saw me.

You've encountered that thing too?

[onehundredswords]

A while back, sure. Me an' it had a little scrap.

I let it go cause I didn't think it'd cause too much trouble, though. Whoops?

[celestial_wizard]

[ "Whoops" he says. ]

That thing ran away from me too - I don't know how many people it must have run into, but I had to at least warn everyone. I don't know how badly hurt it is. [ But it stole something of hers, and she wants it back. ]

[onehundredswords]

I'm sure someone else'll handle it.

[bluh bluh 2 serious for him.]

[celestial_wizard]

From the looks of things, a lot of people are going to be hunting it down.

I guess that's a good thing. That means no one else will get hurt. Where did you see it last?

[ Gosh, take the situation seriously! ]

[onehundredswords]

Ah, a few weeks ago...or maybe it was a few days? Not sure...

[Annnnd now he's just being contrary. If he wanted, he could tell her every exact detail.]

It was definitely on a roof!

[celestial_wizard]

[ ... maybe he's just REALLY bad with time :I ]

Eh? On a Roof? What were you doing on a roof!?

[onehundredswords]

People-watching.

[Stalking is his hobby yo.

Well, okay, he doesn't stalk everyone he watches, just the ones he finds interesting.]

[celestial_wizard]

You people watch from the roof...?

[ That's really kind of creepy you know! ]

[onehundredswords]

[Welcome to the wild and wacky world of gin ichimaru is a huge creep.]

Ah, it's all harmless fun, ain't it?

[MAYBE HE'S WATCHED YOU BEFORE LUCY.

WE JUST.

DON'T.

KNOW.]

Not like noone ever finds out.

[celestial_wizard]

[ CREEPER ALERT! CREEPER ALERT! CREEPER ALERT! ]

Um... I... I guess so?

[ OHGOD NOW SHE'S GOING TO BE UNNERVED. She has to say something. ]

You know, that's really kind of creepy, watching people like that...!

[onehundredswords]

Well, they tend to get a lil' put off if ya' ask first.

[celestial_wizard]

... I'm not sure I want to know, but... how exactly do you ask them?

Although to think about it, I think someone would get pretty disturbed no matter how you phrase it.

[ BRRR. Does he do it because he's shy? Nah. Because he's weird? ... More than likely, yes. ]

Maybe if you explained why...?

[onehundredswords]

This all sounds awful troublesome, don't it?

Ask first, explain why, respect their decision...

It's easier if I do it an' they just don't find out.

[celestial_wizard]

Eheh... Just a bit...

But it becomes a problem if they find out afterwards don't you think?

[ ... y... you've never watched her, have you D: ]

[onehundredswords]

[Maybe a passing glance at a crowd.

No stalking though!!]

Ah...what're they gonna do? Scold me?

Or tell me to stop?

[Because does it really seem like either of those options would effect him...]

[celestial_wizard]

[ Thank. GOD. She would be entirely too freaked out by that. And her friends wouldn't appreciate it either. ]

...To be honest, probably..! I know I would, if I were in that kind of a position.

[ She'd wave a newspaper and say 'NO! BAD!' and everything. ... okay maybe not that. ]

What do you even get out of watching people like that anyway? People will get the wrong idea about you.

[ Or the right one. ]

[onehundredswords]

Don't you think people are interesting?

You can learn a lot about 'em just watchin' from a distance.

[Though sometimes he "intervenes" in their life, aka causes trouble...]

[celestial_wizard]

Of course I do - but it's safer to learn about them by talking to them in person, instead of being... well.. creepy about it, watching them from afar the whole time.

[onehundredswords]

I guess it's just in my nature to be eccentric.

Excitin', too, seein' if ya' get caught or not.

[celestial_wizard]

Eccentric... a-aaha, I guess that's definitely one way to describe it.

What would you do if you were caught?

[onehundredswords]

I guess the first thing I'd do is...

...not care.
