Aquamarine rubs his eyes, having slept in throughout the entire day. He walks downstairs after getting dressed and ready.
Luke walks in the general direction of the waterfall. "There may be wolves out, but I've had experience taking them down..." he looks around - he felt like someone was following him - maybe one of the other heroes.

Aquamarina noticed Luke for a while now, but being the trained Noiseless Walker he was, he didn't make a sound. He starts to approach Luke with the intention of saying hello.

The detective nods at Elise.
If that were to happen wouldn't exactly be the first time that happened to me. The last time that happened, it was an ex-lover gone mad.
He turns back to the rest of the group.
Anyways I'm going to head back upstairs and change into my regular clothes, these pajamas aren't exactly fit for being exposed to the elements doing construction work.

In the middle of taping up another plank of wood, Shieru gives a noncommittal shrug at the detective's words and keeps on the lookout. For now, at least, the wolves were staying at bay.
Well, that’d be jus’ a waste. Why would ya want to deprive the world of such anomaly as yourself?
At the waterfall
Luke manages to get to the waterfall. He starts taking out his hearing aid.

... Why is he taking off his hearing aid? Why would I know that? I'm in Elise's head, not his, and I'm not hard of hearing either. Not a real question, teal.

Having taken off most of his clothes, Luke dives into the body of water at the base of the waterfall.
Ah, so it wasn't some lie, he thought to himself, re-adjusting to his otter form. That really is my power. Well, I can't say I can't see any practical use - recon, navigating small passages, so much more... and I feel free!
He peeks above the surface, remaining 100% otter.

Adrien continues watching the waterfall's plunge pool from their secret hidden vantage point. ... It's been a minute since that person dove in there, and I haven't seen them come back up. Secret underwater passage, or just drowning? They idly consider going in after Luke, for one reason or the other.

Glass more or less finishes the repairs outside.
"Alright, I think that oughta do it. I guess we should check on the others."
No "Bowser's Fury" questions please. I haven't played it yet.
The detective comes back down the stairs, wearing his regular clothes. He's wearing a dark brown wide-brimmed hat, with a black band with a golden buckle in the center. He's sporting a matching dark brown trenchcoat and black leather gloves, both having gold buttons. Over his mouth he's wearing a silver breathing mask of some kind that's attached to some tubes that are glowing a neon blue, with the skull-like vertical slits in the mask lighting up likewise. For his legs he's wearing blue jeans with a black belt with a gold buckle and black hiking boots.
For those that haven't seen me like this, I don't need the mask to live. This is just training equipment I use to improve my strength by more or less holding me back. Course I can have it do the opposite, but I only do that as a last resort as it can leave me vulnerable afterwards.
He looks at the repairs.
Well, seeing that we're mostly done with the repairs, we ought to have make some well-deserved breakfast huh? Might as well see what's on television as I go try making something...
He grabs the remote and turns on the television. On screen is news footage of an overhead shot of some folk getting rounded up to an ambulance near some woods, with the headline saying:
The Ringeye Stalker Cryptid Strikes Again, Injured 5, Another Missing.

Elise reenters the cabin by its front door, appearing to emit steam for some reason. "... The hell's a 'Ringeye Stalker'?" she asks as she catches sight of the TV. "A big raccoon?"

Luke exits the water, becomes human again, and starts putting the rest of his clothes back on.

I see. So he's an animal shifter. Basically harmless, then. Adrien looked around to see if there was anyone else in the area.

The detective was starting to search to stuff to make breakfast as he opened a cupboard and discovered the box of pancake mix. He turned back to look at the television.
The television then shows the sketch of the Ringeyed Stalker based on the long history of sightings. It's a tall, slender vaguely humanoid figure that's pitch black. It's impossible to tell if it has arms and legs there's no gaps to show if it has any. The only feature on its "face" is a single glowing red eye surrounded by a faint glowing red ring that has long pointed teeth, as if the eye doubles as the mouth.
The detective looks back towards the pancake mix he found as he responds back to Elise.
If that's a raccoon, I don't want to know what it's badger cousin looks like.

Ray comes out of the trance he was in for the 15ish minutes, and notices the wall is fixed. He decises to go inside.
The ring-eye stalker... that's the monster they say's been around forever right?

Living with the reality I've inherited a world dying from countless complex social, political, and economic issues. Let's talk about movies!
Shieru, still standing in front of the doorway, frowns at Elise's comment towards the news broadcast just as Ray comes inside.
"Raccoon? More like horror game monster. Or...whatever that thing is."

The detective nods at Ray.
Yeah. Despite advances in science no one really knows what cryptids like it are. Not the only cryptid known for having a mean streak, so it's anyone's guess why they act the way they do. There's the typical theories on them, such as them possibly being alien from another world, an lab experiment gone loose, some kind of paranormal entity like a demon or a guardian spirit, or even being some sort of undiscovered or long-lost subspecies to known civilized people due to the intelligence some of the cryptids display.

Luke finishes getting dressed. He looks around for signs of anyone nearby. He had the strange feeling of being watched. "Anyone there?"

Adrien scoffs. Like I'm gonna show myself just because you asked.
Elise considers this information. "Why's it going after people, though? Don't things like bigfoots usually want to be left alone?" Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
Luke shrugs. "Whatever." He starts heading back to the cabin.

The detective shrugs as he finds the group's recipe book and flips through it, taking note of the ingredients for the breakfast items.
Eh, all cryptids are different, so who knows. It could've attacked due to its territory being threatened, someone provoked it first, attacks as it's hunting for food, or just harming folk for fun due to being evil. Could be anything.
He takes a breath before continuing.
Anyways I would appreciate some help in the kitchen. While I'm sure I can do it all by myself some assistance would be nice as that repair work probably made you all hungrier.

"Sure, I can help with breakfast. What goes with pancakes..." Elise idly muses as she looks through the fridge and pantry. "Bacon! Bacon goes with pancakes." And also everything. Not cake. Most things.

She locks another slab of plywood in place. "I probably shouldn't say this out loud, but now would be the worst time for some villains to come after us." She paused in thought a moment. "Or best, from their point of view."
Guess where Adrien is. ...You're messing with me, surely.
