[I guess we are .... watching Cats .......... Molly is already sitting with his hands pulling his face down. This? Might actually be one of the nine hells. This is bad.]
. . . Are we really supposed to do this without drugs?
Yeah, that's the part that's gonna haunt me. Why are they not wearing anything? And then when they are wearing something why does it only emphasise the not-nudity?
[He laughs REAL loud, enough that one of the NPCs has to shoosh him sharply, and he holds his hands up in self-defense, but he doesn't seem that ashamed.]
Isn't that how it always works? Fully nude and it's just - [A sort of gesture like. Something flopping out.] But just a little something? It's calling attention to it.
Like emphasising what's there by juuuuust having it out on display? Yeah normally that works, but then you just zero in on their human hands and it's like-- [ he makes a screeching brake noise and thunks his head on the desk.
he leaps out of his seat to chase after him and reclaim the case. professor derulo seems delighted by the chaos in his class, maybe they will now achieve an A+. ]
[He doesn't go that far, just stopping around the corner of a building and leaning against the wall - holding out the pencil case for him to take if he wants it.]
[ tiefarmling!! but it's true the first thing you do on a monday is slam face first into all the new locations, so... here's crow at the farm.
he's perched up on one of the fences making little "c'mere" noises and waggling his fingers trying to get one of the dogs to totter over. the dog remains unimpressed, and unmoved. ]
[Molly has just been pulling faces at farm animals for some reason. Maybe it's the horns. An act of aggression. But he'll wander over to try and Observe some Dogs, sure. That seems fun.]
Fun as that would be as a side mission, I can think of other things to do with all the gold in the world. Why? You thinking of starting some kind of dog bribing club?
[He seems very amused by the idea of being thought of as rich though.]
A few well-paying jobs in a row is all, but I still had more than I knew what to do with. But, sure, suppose I can agree with the general sentiment. Money solves a lot of problems. No worrying about inns or ink and paper or health potions. But maybe not every one of them.
Pretty much that. Sorts out the roof over the head for a while, but it's not gonna fix everything. Not even dogs that ignore you in the middle of a hell academy's barnyard.
Sometimes money is the problem, just to complicate stuff further.
Ideally it would’ve been no one, but that’s not how it works. He doesn’t want to talk much about it anyway, so the motivations or reasoning remain a mystery.
…
Makes you think there has to be something weird at play though. For him to end up involved.
He’s probably onto something. We’re not gonna get very far if we start dissolving into factions and arguing the whole time instead of figuring stuff out.
[ … ]
Nice of him to focus on us as a whole while all this is going on. Not sure I could.
[ outside i guess? they can be outside. crow is absolutely pushing one of the b*rbie jeeps around with his foot, looking like he's thinking on something. but he'll wave at molly when he spots him. ]
Yeah, that's a mood. I'd ask you about it but, uh. You were pretty spooked and you seem like you're working your way through a thing and a half right now so. I'll avoid any pressing questions.
[I didn't get this notif at all but I'm stubbornly going back 2 tag it]
[Anyway, sure, that makes sense. It isn't like he's very good at answering questions right now anyway? I'm sorry that he's terrible at conversation right now. Just staring at him? It's a little creepy.]

W0 - MONDAY
. . . Are we really supposed to do this without drugs?
no subject
crow is leaning back in his seat, head tilting to one side at an ever increasing angle. ]
... I...
I'm starting to think we might've already had the drugs.
no subject
. . . You're right. It just keeps getting worse. This is probably-- Surely this is a crime against Tabaxi?
no subject
...
[ but he does snap out of his horror daze long enough to-- ]
The Ta-what-now?
no subject
[Holding up his fingers like cat ears? This is probably a totally indecipherable gesture because he has horns.]
Cat people? Like that.
no subject
Cat person.
I only know one. Luckily for all of us, she's not a whole race and she doesn't sing and dance.
no subject
[Why are they all naked...]
no subject
no subject
Isn't that how it always works? Fully nude and it's just - [A sort of gesture like. Something flopping out.] But just a little something? It's calling attention to it.
no subject
Like emphasising what's there by juuuuust having it out on display? Yeah normally that works, but then you just zero in on their human hands and it's like-- [ he makes a screeching brake noise and thunks his head on the desk.
another npc hisses at them to be quiet. ]
no subject
We're doing the assignment!
[Anyway, loud conversation continuing,]
Normally tails are a good thing, but they've somehow managed to make them look bad.
[He swishes his.]
no subject
Okay, ignorant question from a guy with no tail - can you pick things up with it?
[ this is more important that cats over-emphasised-not-nude-nudity. for now. ]
no subject
Oh, nothing very heavy. But, sure, I suppose if it isn't too fiddly. Can't carry a weapon or anything. Have to use my hands for that like anyone else.
no subject
Soooo.... if I said "hey, can you steal that guy's pencil case" would it be a yay or a nay?
[ our npc powers. there's an npc sat at a nearby desk with a little narrow pencil case perched towards the edge of their desk space. ]
Without getting caught, of course.
no subject
With my tail alone? Or do I have anything else at my disposal?
no subject
[ .... ]
Capable tail.
no subject
Grabbing the pencil case off of crow's desk and running]
no subject
well.
fair enough.
he leaps out of his seat to chase after him and reclaim the case. professor derulo seems delighted by the chaos in his class, maybe they will now achieve an A+. ]
no subject
He's heading for the door of the classroom, apparently taking the opportunity to fuckin ditch this terrifying class!]
no subject
he still wants that pencil case back!! ]
no subject
no subject
Think that's enough noise and troublemaking to appease the singing professor?
no subject
[He would know. Molly lets him take the pencil case, but not before pulling it back one more time and bopping Crow on the nose with it.]
Anyway, stealing from strangers for no reason but your own entertainment?
no subject
[ he goes slightly cross-eyed at the nose boop, but grins. ]
For science. It's not everyday you have class with a guy with a tail? What can I say, curiosity got the better of me.
week 2, monday
he's perched up on one of the fences making little "c'mere" noises and waggling his fingers trying to get one of the dogs to totter over. the dog remains unimpressed, and unmoved. ]
Wow. Tough crowd.
no subject
Not popular around here?
no subject
You’d think they’d be so eager to see me, but here I am, being ignored. Life is tough.
no subject
No? Nothing? This is getting hurtful.
no subject
Maybe if we brought them food they'd have been more receptive to our charms.
[ or maybe not. the dog still looks unimpressed and pads further away from them. come back doggo. ]
no subject
So, I suppose that answers that question. If you had all the gold on the world, you'd use it to bribe the local canines?
no subject
Fun as that would be as a side mission, I can think of other things to do with all the gold in the world. Why? You thinking of starting some kind of dog bribing club?
no subject
[He thinks, putting his arms on the fence, tail swishing while he considers it.]
Don't really know what I'd do with all the gold in the world. To be honest, don't really want it. I had plenty of gold.
no subject
[ ... ]
They say money doesn't solve problems. Not sure how true that is, but it doesn't always sort the stuff that matters.
no subject
[He seems very amused by the idea of being thought of as rich though.]
A few well-paying jobs in a row is all, but I still had more than I knew what to do with. But, sure, suppose I can agree with the general sentiment. Money solves a lot of problems. No worrying about inns or ink and paper or health potions. But maybe not every one of them.
no subject
Sometimes money is the problem, just to complicate stuff further.
no subject
Yeah, that's good. That's a good one - enough to get what you need. Not enough to get complicated. Never wanted a complicated life.
no subject
[ he's just gonna flop back against the fence. like the concept of complicated is too tiring for him. ]
Comfortable, sure. But complicated... eh, I've had my fill of that. [ he says, at the murder farm in murder school. ]
w2, saturday
crow just walks out of the winter dorm sometime later, after the whole trial is done and after a moment he just stares up at the sky and-- ]
Well this sucks.
no subject
Molly just snorts - humorless - and looks up too.]
About covers it, don't you think?
[...]
How's the dorm doing?
no subject
Pretty much what you'd expect. Sad. Confused. It's a whole gauntlet.
no subject
no subject
…
Makes you think there has to be something weird at play though. For him to end up involved.
no subject
[He sort of huffs a laugh.]
Still a kind thing to say, after everything.
no subject
[ … ]
Nice of him to focus on us as a whole while all this is going on. Not sure I could.
w3 - sunday with graveyard high fives
So. Someone got you too, huh?
no subject
When Crow addresses him though he perks up, wandering over. He makes a bit of a face at the question, so it seems like he understands it.]
no subject
Yeah, that's a mood. I'd ask you about it but, uh. You were pretty spooked and you seem like you're working your way through a thing and a half right now so. I'll avoid any pressing questions.
no subject
[Anyway, sure, that makes sense. It isn't like he's very good at answering questions right now anyway? I'm sorry that he's terrible at conversation right now. Just staring at him? It's a little creepy.]
no subject
[ ........
huh.
.... he moves to the right. will molly keep staring at him eerily? ]
no subject
no subject
... Wow, yeah. You really had a number done on you. [ boy. ] Wonder if it'll improve with time or not?
no subject
no subject
[ speaking of dead people, though, this would be a truly awkward time for a memory (40:55 - 44:58), so here we are.
... crow looks pretty damn unimpressed when the memory finishes though. ]
Seriously? Again?
