[ The water begins to bubble, rising up and up in the bowl like a fountain, until it spills out of the bowl in waves, soaking into the dirt and around them. Still, though it overflows, the bowl seems no less empty than before - and the water climbs up and up and up, until the fountain becomes the gentle waterfall of a small stream no bigger than the circumference of the bowl. Through the waterfall, you can see -
Like a broken tail light, flickering and inconsistent in its brightness, a lump of faulty lighting takes center stage of the waterfall, by and large covered up by the tattered, human-like skinsuit you could recognize as Mehniel, though their outer layer is torn enough that you can see bits of feather and fur poking out, and on the floor around them are abandoned bits of feather and hair too, dim light now that they've been torn out. Behind them you can catch the vague shape of something, though you'll largely see the lights illuminating it from underneath a bevelled stone indent in the ground. Currently, the lights are a dull, constant red. If you squint you can see a glimpse of the wall behind; on it are hieroglyphs, unreadable to you. ]
PLOT TOPLEVELS IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER W/ CONTENT WARNINGS:
TALK WITH THE ANGEL - cw mild body horror in Yugi's thread
! IT'S THE FEDS
THURSDAY ACTIONS TURN-IN
THURSDAY: PRE-FIGHT - cw vein/artery mention in Requiem's thread
THURSDAY: FIGHT - cw dismemberment, decapitation via explosion, eye horror, body horror
THURSDAY: POST-FIGHT - cw body horror (yugi, nemesis) dismemberment, decapitation, general gruesomeness (king) implied suicide (hurricane)

Re: [LATER WEDNESDAY, AT THE ARCADE]
If we're still doing something that's important to you guys, I want to help.
Re: [LATER WEDNESDAY, AT THE ARCADE]
S'kinda... a bunch of background stuff you're gonna need to know. And you're, like. You're having trouble hearing it? So.
Re: [LATER WEDNESDAY, AT THE ARCADE]

Re: [LATER WEDNESDAY, AT THE ARCADE]
Plus, you're already wanted. I don't-- I'm not interested in making you do more stupid stuff for no reason.

Re: [LATER WEDNESDAY, AT THE ARCADE]
Going on a mission if you can't read the brief's just a bad idea.
Re: [LATER WEDNESDAY, AT THE ARCADE]

Gimme whatever deets you can, I'll do my best to make sense of it.
Re: [LATER WEDNESDAY, AT THE ARCADE]
Someone grabbed him, probably P. Looks like the room they stuck him in is at Azzy's place, though. We tried to get info about where they took him, and why, and how. Then the goon squad showed up and he cut the call short.
We all bolted. Tall, blond, and smiley caught you guys up before we made it out.
Kay. Now you go. Say back what you heard.

...Yes. Makes sense he can undo what he did's all I'm saying.
Re: [LATER WEDNESDAY, AT THE ARCADE]
[Oops.]
Re: [LATER WEDNESDAY, AT THE ARCADE]
