Two - June 1-3

[pendantry]

[On the morning of June 1, shortly after sunrise, Luceti faces an angry bird.

No, not that angry bird. (Although it would be awesome.)

This one.

And she believes herself to be stuck in bird form and unable to change back. This is reason to panic. So the angry bird is also rather frantic, and may shoot fire before she realizes what she's doing. At least she knows how to fly, so there should be no crash landings unless she doesn't watch where she's going.

That will happen exactly once. Look out, C4. A legendary firebird of legend is running right into you (and only causing light damage, because she isn't going very fast).

She isn't flying with her journal, but the screeches of a wound-up bird of prey are hard to ignore.

Once someone has calmed her down, she'll roost impatiently on top of C2 when not doing a fly-by of the village. It's less chaotic this way. She doesn't fit inside her room.]

[[ooc: Replies will come from icywing - the Ho-Oh set. Raven is so angry. Trainers or others are totally welcome to try to fight her in order to bring her down. You do not need to ask. You just need to be okay with her getting away eventually if necessary!]]

[icywing]

[The giant bird wants her space.

But she's already attacked some people today and hitting a hard wall is painful no matter what creature and size you are.

So she lifts her head and regards him with icy eyes...before just tilting it. Of course. She's in her bird form isn't she? And for some reason able to use magic that is not rune magic. No complaints here.]

[tsuntrader]

...You're small. [and today on polite things to say to a god bird...]

[icywing]

[This is a touchy and indignant feather ruffle. Of course she's small! Her non-monster half cuts her down a few sizes! And phoenix-sub-deities take a while to grow okay, it's not an overnight thing...

Ho-Oh is confused! Ho-Oh used Leer!]

[tsuntrader]

You're supposed to be bigger than a house. [Is there anything else that's different...?]

[icywing]

[Oh? Fine.

She stands to her full height - which is very nearly a house, as it is - and spreads those giant colorful wings and cries at him.

Take that, Silver.]

[tsuntrader]

[...Well isn't this a pleasant chat we're having. Back to worked up eye contact-

...Those eyes...] ...Raven?

[icywing]

[...Oh.

Yeah.

The wings fold back to her sides, and she leans in closer, bringing her left eye to be about level with his stare.

Yes. Raven.]

[tsuntrader]

...You got turned into Ho-oh?

[icywing]

[Suppose a bird could shrug, make a 'tch' sound, and turn her head and upper body to the side enough that she'd be almost hiding behind her visible shoulder.

That's what Ho-Oh is doing right know.

She doesn't know. She thinks this is her actual bird form, larger-size, and she can't change back.]

[tsuntrader]

...You're Ho-oh. You've been turned into a legendary Pokémon from my world. [He double checks to confirm this with his Pokédex, and yes, that is indeed the case. You're a wizard, Harry Ho-oh, Raven.]

[icywing]

[Ho-Oh?

What kind of name is that?

Raven's feathers fluff visibly, and she tilts her head in the other direction, eyes on the object in his hands.

It's very "show me." That's what she wants.]

[tsuntrader]

[Were he his normal self, he'd gladly and calmly show her. He'd be strangely soothed by her presence. It's Ho-oh. Ho-oh, who's been freed from the Mask of Ice's grasp.

...But he's not. While he very much respects Ho-oh, there's still a natural, instinctive tension that comes from being in its presence.] Can't you just take my word for it? I've seen you before, I've seen Ho-oh before, and I think I'm a good judge of the difference. You feel like Ho-oh.

[icywing]

[Wow. Someone's got his feathers ruffled.

Raven's look changes, and it seems she's trying to get a better look at Silver now. Still a half-demon?]

[tsuntrader]

[Yep. Tail's still out. ...What is she looking at?]

[icywing]

[Still not convinced he actually is one. She knows he didn't mention it in the beginning.

But that information seems to...settle her. She looks now more like a bird waiting to get back to her nest than one intending to burn down a village. She can't change back because this isn't her, it's a fire bird from a different place. As crazy as that is, at least it makes some kind of strange this-village-has-lost-it sense.]

[tsuntrader]

[Like he said, he doesn't go around with a billboard that says he's half-demon. Regardless, he's at least glad that she calmed down. He's done his good deed for the day.]

Have fun being some powerful near-deity bird for a few days.

[icywing]

[Scoff. This is a scoff, Silver. Raven already is a powerful near-deity bird. Or at least half of one. She fluffs her feathers and would probably chirp at him if this bird form were capable of such things.

What it does do is accidentally shoot fire. Oops.]

[tsuntrader]

[Yeah Silver's just. Going to move back a little. And by move back a little I mean he's jumping the fuck away until he's a safer distance from Ho-oh!Raven. Rude, Raven. Rude.]

[icywing]

[She didn't mean it! Fire Rune magic is a bit different from this, you know.

She's giving him another look. What is she expected to do, now that this has happened? Maybe one of his friends can tell him what she wants to know.]

[tsuntrader]

...What's that look about? [Maybe. He might be able to figure it out if he's given a minute.

...Maybe...]

[icywing]

[Ho-Oh is a dignified bird so this sound is not a squawk. But it should be.

"What do I do with this unnatural bird form?"]

[tsuntrader]

[...RIGHT he should probably give her some idea of what-] I dunno about you, but I just flew around and enjoyed myself for a day when I got turned into a Pokémon. It wore off pretty quick.
