Swynlake Sleuths | Deb & Lilo

[aloha-lilo]

deb-the-damsel‌:

Deb had never been a big fan of the detective shows on TV. NCIS, CSI, Law and Order. It wasn’t because she couldn’t stand the images or she hated hearing stories about people dying, she just… Really couldn’t tolerate the mystery of it all. Perhaps because her own life had been so full of it at the time, not knowing what was wrong with her or if she’d ever be okay or if she’d ever be allowed out of the family home. 

That was one of the things she loved about magic- it seemed to be explanation enough on it’s own for a lot of things, at least enough to satisfy those who didn’t have the time on their hands to go digging deeper. Why did we end up in the hunger games? Magic. Why are you wandering out of the forest at nine am looking exhausted? Magic. What’s with that real big dog at chapter three? Magic. It didn’t always work of course, like, when thinking about herself just thinking that she was magic didn’t cut it, but that was because Deb wanted to understand herself better you see. She should have been able to understand herself better by now. For most other things though, things too big for her to properly comprehend, magic was okay. 

But! That didn’t mean she’d pass up a chance to play detective if one came along- not that such chances came along often, because apparently playing make believe when you were nearly twenty was ‘odd’ and ‘childish’ but Deb hadn’t had other kids to play make believe with before! (Except Flo, but they always fought over who would play who.) 

That was why when she saw– Lilo?? Deb thought that might be her name, striding up to people and asking them to comment on Swynalkes silly mysteries, she wanted in. “Can I help?” She asked, skipping over to the other. “Two heads is better than one!”

@aloha-lilo

Lilo was going to get down to this funny business that was Swynlake.

Sure, she’d heard the town was super duper magical and that there was a lot of really crazy stuff happening almost all the time every day BUT that didn’t make all the stuff that happened okay!!! People dying?? Not okay!! Even if they did wake up completely fine somehow in a way that really confused Lilo as a person-

Anyway.

She was determined to figure out the cause, and she thought the best way to do this would be to go around interviewing people! She’d only gotten two people so far - a strange old lady with hearing problems that thought she was writing a story, and a tourist who had no explanations to give her - but still. Lilo was determined. She would get answers. She would! And then-

“Can I help?” someone chimed, eyes all bright as their hair and Lilo blinked wide. 

“Uh- You want to help me?” Lilo was more than a little surprised. Nani would say this was Lilo just playing a game, but Lilo knew it was #serious. And besides, this girl - Deb, was it? - was right. Two heads would always be better than one. Especially if they were on the same person. Woah. There was probably some alien species like that, right??

Looking down at her clipboard and papers, Lilo scrunched up her features. These answers were useless. “I haven’t had much luck getting a lot of people to participate... I think I’m annoying them.” Looking back up at the girl, Lilo tilted her head. “Are you good with people? I’m trying to be better but it’s not always easy.”

Mahu is the hawaiian word for people who embody both male and female spirit

[dekayingtree]

PSA: The Hawai'ian people actually prefer the term “māhūlani” which is a lot nicer and a term of endearment. “lani” is the Hawai'ian word for heaven so by saying māhūlani you are calling the person a gift from the heavens. Thank you so much! ^_^

Operation Find The God In Training/ Maulo

Maui laughed a bit, he couldn’t help himself. The girl had spunk. He liked spunk (not in a creepy way–it was just a nice trait.) He wasn’t annoyed by her or anything, nah.

It wasn’t her fault that she was rubbing salt in his wounds.

I don’t think it’s working. 

Yeah, no shit, Sherlock.

Maui wondered if that was as obvious to everyone else. The council back home didn’t see any problem. His mom was happy. Even Nana Tala hadn’t seemed disappointed in his when he’d admitted his hook wasn’t working. There had to be people who realized, right? At this point the fact he was a fraud should be blatantly fucking obvious. 

Except, apparently, it wasn’t.

“Right, so, uh–if you’re so great,” he goaded right back, “what do you think the root of the problem is?”

And, honestly–that was a great question. One Maui did not know the answer to.

Maui laughed, and Lilo blinked before furrowing her brows and frowning a little. Was he laughing at her? Making fun of her? But- That wasn’t right. He was supposed to be Maui, Hero To All-

He was mocking her.

Lilo pressed her tongue to her teeth and put her hands on her hips now, instead. If he wasn’t mocking her, then he was seriously asking her if she knew the root of Swynlake’s problems. A town Lilo had barely been in for more than a couple of months, and he’d been here for... what? Over a year now? Almost a year? Whatever, that wasn’t important- What was important was that he was clearly mocking and Lilo was Not Having It.

“Well, maybe if you’d been searching for the answer to that question since you got here, you’d know the answer by now.” There. Put him in his place. Nani had always taught her that men needed to be shown they weren’t always so great, anyhow. Even Demi-God Men. “Anyway, I have theories. Like ancient burial grounds under the town or that gate to the Underworld that’s close by - or even a really powerful sorcerer wreaking havoc. It could be aliens. It could also have something to do with all those Merlin mysteries this place has, I dunno. I already did a ton of reading, but there’s still more to do. And we have to investigate. That’s how you get answers, silly.”

I’ll remember you though.

Please don’t make fun of comfort objects. They are really important to a lot of people and it can be hard to function properly without them. If you see someone walking around with something ‘unusual’ please don’t comment on it.

Pascal had to smile. This young lady was a little odd, of course, but she seemed to genuinely appreciate their painting.

“I’ve never danced,” Pascal admitted, “I’m too afraid to stand up in front of anyone and perform. But it’s good to have many outlets.”

They waved a hand at a small painting of their guitar.

“I play the guitar, and sing a bit,” they explained.

“Oh, are you shy?” Lilo looked at them then, and she smiled a little. She could work with shy! Sometimes she scared really shy people off but she hoped that didn’t happen here. “You don’t have to, no one’s gonna force you. But if you ever do wanna dance I’m not a judger. I don’t care if you’re good or not. In fact, sometimes it’s more fun to be bad!”

Looking towards the guitar, Lilo’s eyes widened. “No way! I play the ukulele, it’s a lot of fun. I can’t sing but I like to anyways. Do you know any Elvis?”
