event } discover the forest (if you dare)
WHO: Errybody!
WHAT: A visit to Spoopville
WHERE: Town of Riella, the nearby forest, or you can stay on Navi if ya want
WHEN: Oct. 17-31
WARNINGS: Use ‘em in your threads if needed!
[Hello, passengers! Hope you're all ready for an announcement, 'cause Navi's voice is getting beamed into your head right about ... now.]
Attention, passengers. We'll be landing soon on the planet Crybhaid, at the town of Riella. We'll be docked for two weeks, local time. Please stand by for atmospheric entry.
[Which means it's now time to BUCKLE IN, CHAPS. It's not a particularly rough landing, just your standard amount of turbulence, though it may seem a little jarring to those who aren't used to space travel.
Upon landing, passengers will find a bank counter inside the nearby general store, where your new windfall of Navigems can be exchanged for credits (the universal currency).
Have fun! And try not to get kidnapped by that pesky Twig Man … ]

This saloon is fantastic. This quiet little town that looks like something out of a human world movie is fantastic. This vacation is fantastic. This whole trip, the abduction, their weird navigator, Mammon's come around to all of it once he realized that yes, he is being paid to be here. Navi has rocketed up to one of his favorite people after revealing they could crate gemstones. Now Mammon has his own personal golden goose and he couldn't be happier, regardless of how the gemstones were made. And they fetched a tidy sum of credits in the little general store, too -- credits he'd been told to put towards sensible purchases like food, but why worry about that when the saloon offered a free lunch? And what better way to celebrate a free lunch than with a drink?
He's three deep at a table and waving another round over, an easy grin on his face and a little beer foam on his upper lip. "You can't get stuff like this back home," he explains. "Not that Lucifer buys anyway, an' at the castle it's just wine. Usually ya gotta go to the human world for the really good beer. Hey, wanna try some? I'm gettin' another round!"
The drinks are cheap here and they're taking good care of him. Sure it's not the fanciest place but it's got drinks and food and people and a player piano going, and who is Mammon to turn down a party?
Day 2, Riella
There's nothing like a gruff innkeeper approaching you early in the morning to shake off a hangover. Or throwing you forcibly out into the street either, and demanding you come back when you can pay your tab or else you'll be shot.
Mammon really should've turned down that party.
For the rest of the day he's scrambling to make money. He sets up a game of three-card monte on the street, heads back to the ship to steal and sell anything he can, and if he's not careful, he might have to set out and do something actually heroic, from which his reputation may never recover. Can't he please just steal the valuables in the general store instead?
Open
Run into him, drag him into the forest, whatever you want!
Bedazzled Fortune
The duo's race nearly colliding with a couple out for a midday stroll, a dropped parasol whipped up by a stray breeze careening into a group of shoppers and loiterers. Among the chaos some newspapers are scattered, also whipped up into that breeze's flurry. One particular sheet, with one particularly interesting article slapping directly into the face of one particularly greedy demon. At the top of that article was a picture of an ostentatiously bedazzled and, frankly, obscenely expensive cowboy hat to be unveiled later that day for a wealthy businessman who decided he would wear his riches for all to see. No accounting for taste.
Perhaps that will keep Mammon distracted for a time while they're planet side.
Day 1
Isaac was a spirits kind of guy most of the time, but beggars couldn't be choosers and it all got him drunk, so when the offer comes Isaac is quick to offer an easy smile and a nod.
"Sure, I'll take a beer if you're offering."

Mammon's feeling merry enough to spread his wealth, such as it is, around. The bartender quickly appears with a pair of drinks and the demon nurses his eagerly.
"Told ya. It's not better than Demonus, but it ain't half bad."
no subject
"Demonus?" Isaac doesn't know why he asks, he really doesn't, he spends most of his life trying to avoid his own weirdness so why should he get embroiled in other people's? Unfortunately, he's curious, he can't help himself.
Besides, asking people about themselves makes them feel good, people who feel good are more likely to keep buying him booze. He lifts the drink in a salute to Mammon and takes a sip. He has to admit, it is pretty good, and it tastes all the better for being free.
no subject
Ego successfully stroked, Mammon beams at him. "Not too bad, huh?"
no subject
"Devildom..." he pauses, then snorts in amusement at himself "Sorry I'm going to stop just repeating words you're saying." he laughs
He nods in agreement, taking another sip "Not bad at all. Good choice."

[Of course because she's Alex, Alex is definitely gone out to the planet to explore. More to the point, she's also going out and talking to people about what their planet is like. Of course the longer she'd gone on and the more people had talked to her about their experiences, the paler Alex had become. People messing with kids is always going to be one of Alex's more hot button issues considering how things were with everything back home, and there'd been a moment where she'd considered that maybe it was Tall Pauls who were here.
The thought is only vaguely terrifying--the last thing Alex wants is to be out in space and to have the god damn demons actually have followed her here. But the more she'd investigated, the more Alex had discovered that yes, while there were similarities to the Tall Pauls, there were also differences in the form of something else that Alex was familiar with: Slenderman. So, back on the ship, Alex had made her post but now she's back in the saloon with a beer in front of her, and she's nursing it slowly.
The color still hasn't come back to her cheeks.]
Day two: the woods.
[Honestly, the last thing that Alex wants to do is go back into the woods looking for a monster who was kidnapping kids. The night before last time she'd done something like this was the last time that Alex Reagan had ever slept well, and two years later she doesn't think that she's ever going to again. But if one of them is missing, then of course Alex is going to go and help look for him, because she's not an asshole and she'd never be okay with leaving someone behind.
Of course, Alex hadn't ever imagined that she'd end up being turned into a kid when such a thing had happened. But here she is, a five year old kid who's wearing glasses, and she looks a little lost in a dress and shoes that definitely weren't the sort that one would normally wear when they were hiking around the woods. Shivering a bit, Alex does what any child who has been raised for the last two years what a cop would do: she looks for the nearest person be they adult or child and asks with her lower lip quivering:]
How did I get here? Where's my mom and dad?
Julia Bellamy | OC
[Yeah, Julia isn't about to be doing anything that she really doesn't have to do at this point. She's been kidnapped, and she's bored and tired and the last thing she wants to do is run and save another planet that this time isn't even her own. So basically, fuck all of that bullshit.
Instead, Julia is going to end up having as much fun as possible and right now that comes in the form of sitting outside of the saloon with a bottle of whiskey and a sketch pad in front of her. She's smoking the closest thing to a clove that she could find, and the fragrant smoke ornaments around her like a crown, even if she's not actually drawing at the moment.]
Day two: the woods
[Sigh. Just fucking sigh. Julia didn't want to be out here saving fucking anyone, and yet here she was. She'd gotten the scent easily enough, but as they'd gone deeper into the woods, Julia is well aware of the fact that this would be going much faster if she was in her other form. But that would mean explaining that shit to people and Jules really doesn't want to do that. So, instead she's just wandering around the woods with an animalistic grace and dressed in black.
Until she hits a certain point and just ends up shrining with a scream. When Julia stands up, she's six and she's definitely dressed in the sort of clothing that a seven year old would pick for herself. Normally however, a parent probably would have stopped her from going out in them, but that's not what Julia had back home which is why she's wearing a long tutu, rainbow tights, a Halloween sweater with a pumpkin on it and one formerly white chuck and one hightop red chuck. Her hair is wild, and unbrushed and her eyes are wide when she just yells:]
Cool! I'm in a new place!
