The Perk, Sunday afternoon

Flash had just arrived in town a little bit ago and he already seemed a little annoyed about something. "Kiernan warns me about weird stuff, but not about stairs. That's helpful," he muttered as he rolled up to the counter to order a coffee.

Once he got past his grumbling, he had to admit that Fandom seemed nice. Quiet, so far. Smaller than he expected, though. Not that it was a complaint. That meant that if everything went FUBAR, at least it would probably be manageable.

After the barista handed his coffee over, Flash rolled to a table and looked out the window to people-watch while he went over his game plan:

Find a place to stay for a few days. Figure out who knows something about powerful magic. See if they can find and perform some kind of spell to remove a Hellmark placed on him by one of the most powerful devils around.

Simple, right? Sure it was! At least that's what Flash was going to keep telling himself. And hey, this coffee was pretty good. Things were looking up at the moment!

[OOC: New guy in town! Post is open, naturally.]

"I hope you're overstating that a little. I mean, there's 'change of pace' and then there's 'creepy small town where a horror movie takes place.'"

Riley...decided not to tell him about the zombies in the bar just yet. No need to really lay on the horror movie vibe.

"It's not like that or anything," he assured, shaking his head. "It's just a small town so it's hard not to learn people's names, recognize faces. Just a thing that happens."

"Does that mean news travels fast, too? So by tomorrow everyone will know there's a new guy in town?" Flash checked.

"I think the squirrels will take care of that, yeah," Riley said, nodding. "So, if you're hoping to stay low key, well, it's not gonna happen."

"I think you just glossed over the word 'squirrels,'" Flash pointed out.

"Did I?" Yes, yes he had. "Oh, uh, they're kind of the island's reporters. They run news to the local radio station. I wish I was kidding but I'm not. I've had recent drug tests to prove that I'm not on anything."

"And these are people who have a goofy nickname, right?" Flash checked.

"No, these are actual squirrels," he said, rubbing the back of his neck. "The kind that live in trees and eat acorns or Doritos if they can. I don't know how they do it but they do."

"I'm not alone here, right? That's nuts," Flash checked.

"Oh no, it's insane but it's the truth," Riley said, shrugging. "They're pretty good at their job too. There's not a lot they miss although anytime two people go out together, they think it's a date."

"If that's the case, this is the weirdest first date I've ever been on," Flash mused.

"I'll make it up to you next time," Riley joked.
