week 0, tuesday

[holyspirits]

[ hello, richie. today, zuriel can be found on the lighthouse hill, sitting on the ground and observing the sea below. they kind of like being up this high and able to see everything, back leaning against the base of the lighthouse itself, but being this far away from the noise of the boardwalk means it's easier to hear when someone approaches.

so, they turn their head, inclining it a little to look at him. ]

Hello. [ politely. sort of. very customer service of them. ]

[gutterbound]

Yo-ho.

[Since we're feeling nautical today. He's come by with a street pretzel which has yet to be broken in. More of a whim than a want, really. The emptiness of the place is getting him antsy and bored minds are hungry ones.

He'll casually offer it as he draws near.]

Taking your lunch hour?

[holyspirits]

[ they are looking at this pretzel like they are unsure if they should take a bite or not. ]

Something like that. I got a little bored wandering the boardwalk, and the arcade isn't really my style. [ but they do gesture to the ground if richie would like to sit. ]

[ hi richie. gamaliel can be found at the beach today, looking over the equipment on the sound stage. they don't seem interested in the instruments and are more looking over the speakers, the DJ set up, the lighting rig, etc.

they're paying enough attention to spot richie when he's nearby, so they'll greet him with a nod before going back to whatever it is they're doing without talking. 2 star customer service ]

[gutterbound]

[Good thing he has no concept of YELP.

He's probably heading straight for the vinyls. Because of course he is. But he'll be polite, even if the mystic anonymity gives him the heebie-jeebies.]

Can I help you find something, big shot?

[holyspirits]

[ this looks like a man who enjoys a good drink. so the next time richie ventures back to the bar in the heavenly neighborhood, when he walks through the door he may be surprised to see there's a figure standing at the counter. they're a glowing figure, a simple gold halo slowly hovering over them as they continue pulling bottles down and seem to be in the middle of making a drink for themselves, but they hear the creak of the door and address him. ]

Hey, man, welcome. I'll be with you in a sec, or you can use the self-serve option.

[ engage, or ignore? ]

[gutterbound]

[are we gonna bite drink first thread

He watches this with some small amusement.]

No, actually, I wanna see how this turns out. Are you trying to build the world's most ambitious Long Island Iced Tea?

week 0, tuesday

[holyspirits]

[ ramiel is out and about in the neighborhood, just taking a nice stroll through the garden.

when they see richie they swerve to walk over to him and wave. ]

Hello! What are you up to today? [ curious. or nosy. ]

[gutterbound]

[He is probably ferreting a few more albums from the Soundstage to the sanctity of Chez Richie y Claude. Which I forgot to submit as a status update until now thank you.]

Guarding our sacred heritage! Maybe someone taught that Dan kid a lesson but some people don't learn so quick. [Regards this glow...can he make out any features up close?] What about you? Afternoon stroll?

week 3, wednesday

[hotfixer]

[ ramiel is in the jamboree. wandering in between the deactivated animatronics, sometimes idly tapping them. but hey. hi. ]

Oh. Hello, Richie.

[gutterbound]

Hey, Blue.

[Looking around at this highly cursed affair.]

Catching up with old friends?

week 5, tuesday

[batterypack]

[ lo, corgi car. she has spent a lot of time here recently so it means several of the corgis have flocked to her and are surrounding her happily. ]

Dog person, or no?

[gutterbound]

In what world would I say no?

[Richie grins and takes a seat beside her, summoning up a few corgi's of his own. He does his best to keep up with them, but:]

Times like this, a fella really misses having two hands. Aaah, you little rascal.

[Affectionate ear rubs!!!]

week 5, tuesday

[holyspirits]

[ when richie enters the bar, maybe he's heading over to the tavern build-out to get a bite to eat or say hi to the brothers. but he will probably notice that sitting on the bar counter itself taking a widdle nap is what looks like a lion cub.

it is real. this is your starter. ]

[gutterbound]

[whoa...was gabe mufasa this whole time

regards this lion cub warily. He may have freely petted the owlbear cub this weekend but it was different because Shadowheart was there, and it was begging for affection.]

...Hello?

[Looking around for Gabe or the lads.]

week 5, tuesday

[hotfixer]

[ all of my threads will be corgi car forever

she is just sprawled out in the grass with puppies curled up all around her. ]

We should have started with this place. Then people wouldn't have been so doubtful about this being Heaven.

[gutterbound]

[You're so right for it.]

Well, Kaworu seems to have dog allergies, but otherwise it would be a solid pitch. I'd buy it.

[Richie will sprawl out next to her. Absorbs some dog attention with a little laugh.]

I never had pets growing up either, mom always said two animals in the house were damn well enough. [Him and his father...] It's a nice change, honestly.

week 5, tuesday

[configurer]

[ i GUESS i won't give you three corgi car prompts in a row. i gUESS. instead she's in the ball pit par ]

It's like one of those old McDonald's play place in here. [ looking at richie ] You know what I mean?

[gutterbound]

[EXILED TO THE BALL PIT. I'm so sorry Gamaliel

Quickly searches. First established in 1971 at the Chula Vista, California location... Nice.]

I do. Never been in one, mind you. [Picks a wee ball up, tosses it in the air and catches it.] I imagine I would have been happier than a pig in shit if they'd been around in my yesteryears.

[Chucks and lightly bounces the ball off her shoulder.]

Got you feeling nostalgic, does it?

week 5, sunday

[configurer]

[ re: Hey Gamma Ray, got a letter from Yves saying his apple didn't show up on his side of the fence. Any chance one of you knows what happened to it? ]

I got a similar letter from him.
Sometimes you guys hold onto items you found in trials, right?
Maybe someone has it?
We don't, but I don't think these things would vanish.
As much as I'd like them to.

ty....

[gutterbound]

Well shit.

I didn't take note of where it ended up after investigations. That's bad news, only a couple people knew about it for sure but maybe seeing a free apple on the evidence table was enough temptation to take it.

I'll ask around. I feel much the same about you do about it, but it's his, not mine, and he had a decent idea about how to use it. Let me know if you find the fucker.

week 6, thursday

[murderofwoes]

[ in her little jail... with her little disembodied hand friend... hanging out.... ]

[gutterbound]

[perceives her and then perceives the disembodied hand...Immediately a thought manifests. He dispels it at once though, that would be crazy haha.]

Got time for one more "bonding activity?"

week 6, thursday

[holyspirits]

[ re: Are you there God? It's me Margaret.

By way of Rich Tozier. If you've got a minute I've got questions. Shoot me a message when you're free. ]

You could be a Margaret if you really wanted to.
Hello, Richie.

[gutterbound]

Do you really think so? I always pictured myself as more of a Rhonda if I were to swap underwear sets.

Hi God.

I had a few questions about our potential returns. I'm hearing all kinds of fantasic promises and little in the way of fine print, which I know there must be. So here goes:

1) What's the scope of meddling with our own time and place? How far back can we rewind the clock, and how much or little can we fudge events?
2) Will we remember what all happened here?
3) Are we restricted to going to only our worlds? Do we have the option of hopping around?
4) What DID happen to Anastasia Romanov? Or Jimmy Hoffa?
5) Did we really need mosquitoes? I mean really.
6) What would you say is the meaning of life?

I'll cut myself off before I get too philosophical. No rush, take your time.
