WHO || Gus, Zatanna, Adam, Dawn, Dimitri [closed]

WHERE || Black Bottom Ridge, Kansas
WHEN || April 8th [backdated]
HOW || Actionspam or prose

Know what's even worse than Kansas? Kansas after a long winter that just won't die. Everything is creepy and flat and the grass is struggle-bussing its way back to life, and the trees are still skeletal, which just lends an eerie semblance to everything as they drive by. Drive by with a U-Haul attached to the back of her their rented vehicle, because they're bringing a fucking bear along. Luckily Gus was able to coax her into this arrangement, but man, I would not to be the one to draw the short straw opening the doors to that trailer when they arrive.

It only took a single stop at a crappy diner for Zatanna to get someone to spill the whereabouts of the survivor of the night they're looking into: she's being kept at a hospital in the nearest actual city. Zee drops off Adam, Dimitri, and Gus near the crime scene, and takes Dawn with her to go see what they can learn from the girl (after telling Gus to behave).

So what is it you do? Given the bear, I feel like druid or nature warden are likely suspects.

[druidisms]

I'm gay. It's my bear. [ ahahahahahah he's so funny tho udefk. ] Druid.

[rituals]

Knew a druid once what brought a rhino around with him everywhere.

[druidisms]

I wanted a tiger, Malina vetoed it. Said it'd eat her familiar. Like a bear is better. For the best, Asian druid with a tiger, could I be more stereotypical?

[cigam]

To be fair, I don't think anyone would dare make that accusation to your face, if you had a tiger hanging around.

[druidisms]

You haven't been to Pride week in a while, have you? [ people say awful shit all the time. even when he has a bear with him. but gus is taylor swift and just shakes it off. he's been out since he was 15, he's heard everything. he takes another hit, breathing out slowly. ] Maybe I'll get Mellie a friend one day.

[rituals]

You could go a lot more interesting than a tiger, you know. How about an imp or a pseudodragon? That'd turn some heads.

[druidisms]

[ don't encourage him, he wants a dinosaur. ]

Psuedodragon might be a little... [ he hums, snapping his fingers at a loss for the word. ] Fuck, what is the word? Zee, what the fuck do I mean?

[ knight of the silver dragon with a fake dragon. feels off, man. ]

[cigam]

Corny? [ she snorts a bit, leaning back and propping one boot up on the table. ] Cliche?

[druidisms]

Both! Both works.

[rituals]

You could always quit Zee's little club, then I doubt anyone would say anything.

[druidisms]

[ snort. ] Zee's club? I was there first. [ he's a five year old. ] And I've done that. I live in New York. Fight their battles there, come back every six months or so to bug Sparky over here.

[cigam]

[ zatanna smirks at that. ] You've caught us in the blessed interim where he decides to grace us with his presence.

[druidisms]

It's a fluke.

[cigam]

I certainly hope not.
