[Voice] How do you even lose something that big?

[stinglikeabat]

I finally remembered the rest of what happened with that Rasputin fellow. Or most of it, at least! I'm still not entirely sure what was up with that fellow. Some sort of demon cult nonsense that got out of hand, I suppose. The important part is that he didn't get to destroy the world. Sure, he wasn't the only one trying to do it, but I'm not that worried about what's happening back home. If Yuri and the rest of them are still around, humanity's in good hands!

Shame about that big castle of his crumbling, though. It was pretty nice, aside from all the screaming oozy monsters everywhere. And that layout with all the switches... Sure, it slowed us down and all, but I can't imagine living there! It wasn't actually that nice, but it flew, so I'm giving him points for style at least.

And speaking of style, has anybody seen a crocodile lying around? It's about three meters long, not counting the tail. And it's dressed like a pirate. It's pretty hard to miss, just call me or text me if you see it around!

((OOC: The crocodile, while stuffed, is currently animate due to mysterious circumstances. It will be threadjacking and/or hanging around in goofy poses in the comments.))

Shen really needs a 'bzuh' face....

[nomen_est_numen]

You're... not bringing it home, are you?

[stinglikeabat]

I've already brought it home once! Fitting it in the elevator was a bit of a pain, but I don't see what all the fuss is about... Are you allergic?

[nomen_est_numen]

To alligators? I... don't think that's possible, seeing as they haven't any fur or feathers or pollen--but that's not the point. There isn't space!

[yeah while you're doing that, have a dapper pirate crocodile casually strutting past.

It pauses briefly in front of the peacock to glance up at him...and then scoffs (however it is a crocodile would scoff in the first place).

It then continues on its merry way.]

[nomen_est_numen]

[...]

[. . .]

D'you mean that one?

[stinglikeabat]

[...You know what, he's seen weirder. Whatever happens, he's seen weirder. He can roll with this.]

So that's where you've got to! Shen, don't let it get away!

[gogoghostpowers]

[ooooh no, he's not about to get caught! For all the clumsy waddling this crocodile's been doing, he can be surprisingly quick and light on his feet--like just now, when he leaped all the way across the room.]

[nomen_est_numen]

[Shen spluttters in a manner only British actors and people who sound like them are capable of]

And what d'you suppose I do when I catch it?

[stinglikeabat]

I don't know! You're some sort of kung-fu guy, aren't you? Use that!

[nomen_est_numen]

Wh--splj--oh, very well.

[He's just going to throw a rope dart in the crocodile's direction in hopes of wrapping the thing round its tail or leg or some such.]

[gogoghostpowers]

[de-nied. The crocodile leaps up and then...hangs in the air, simply floating and waiting for the next move.]

[nomen_est_numen]

Crocodiles don't fly!

[He attempts to knife it to the wall by its dapper, dapper threads.]

[stinglikeabat]

[Joachim's yelling at them through the smartphone throughout all of this.]

Is it still there? Where are you?

...What do you mean, flying?

[gogoghostpowers]

[the crocodile gracefully dodges all the knives and--did that last one just go through it, as if it had never been thrown in the first place?]

[nomen_est_numen]

Right... did things go through it the last time you saw it?

[stinglikeabat]

The other way around, mostly! Why do you ask?

[gogoghostpowers]

[The crocodile sticks its tongue out and wiggles its crocodile finger-hand-things by the side of its head.

Hope you like getting mocked, Shen.]
