WHO: all
WHERE: all
WHEN: Day 9, evening into night

[the sun goes down; the two moons rise.

it all looks...quite different. the laundromat lengthens and transforms the silhouette of Woolietown in the distance. the lighthouse beacon comes to life for the first time, throwing strong, brilliant light and stark shadows across the meadow and into the barns. the lazy river encircles the pasture in a glittering band, the bobbing shapes of the pool toys a little bit eerie until they drift into full view.

perhaps some of you are winding down. perhaps some of you are just gearing up for a wild adventure in the shadows. perhaps some of you, regardless of if you sleep or stay up, find your dreams and nightmares crawling out beyond the bounds of your own head tonight, drawing others in...

the night is full of possibilities.]

WHY WAS THAT EVEN ON THE ROOF?!

[are there any sufficient bricks or pieces of the building jutting out within arm's reach? climbing up those seems like it will be safer and faster than trying to climb up a gutter that's been slick slime'd]

[JUST CACKLING MADLY IN RESPONSE]

[but yes, there are plenty of hand and foot holds on the bricks of the building to climb on, if Honey wants to! Lupin seems to be waiting to see what he does before he makes his NEXT THIEF MOVE]

[mykidisthebest]

Every laugh is going to add another three months to your prison sentence!

[Honey is for sure abandoning the gutter, it's dead to him now. he grabs a brick and goes much faster from there--he's able to use more force to propel himself up from the hand and foot holds, however small they are, and make it to the roof unless Lupin has any more dastardly tricks up his sleeve]

[survivaltricks]

[no more tricks to impede the climbing, nope! but when Honey reaches the roof, Lupin is standing on the very edge of same, toes dangling into the empty night air]

Not bad, not bad. You're pretty impressive-- for a detective.

Are you going to tell me you have me cornered?

[mykidisthebest]

No way, don't try to put cheesy words in my mouth. You obviously have a getaway plan or you wouldn't have run to the roof in the first place. But I'll give you one last chance to surrender quietly and return what you stole.

[he walks towards to him casually, like they're just two guys talking about the weather, getting as close as he can to see at what point Lupin decides to bail off the roof. as he goes he tries to wipe off at least some of the slime.]
