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!]]

June 3rd

[biteoffherhead]

[A young Moro is interested in this powerful, beautiful creature! She's even willing to get closer to it, carefully approaching the C2 building and staring up at it, unsure of how to introduce herself.]

[icywing]

[A wolf? In this body, Raven can see it clearly even at a distance. What does it want?]

[biteoffherhead]

[Moro waits for a bit, before speaking up. Her mouth doesn't move, but her voice is clear enough.]

Are you a fellow god?

[icywing]

[The bird shakes her head. No, not in this bird-form - as far as she knows. Her actual monster self...is debatable.]

June 1

[vulcanblazer]

[Right now, Adell still felt like hell from his hangover. It was late enough in the day that he napped some of it off, though. But as he was heading out the door to make dinner, wouldn't fate decide it'd be funny to teleport him? And right onto the very roof Raven was perched on?

He lands hard on his front, but pushed himself up, to be greeted by the sight of a giant bird of prey.]

....Whoa.

[icywing]

[Whoa, indeed. She's only perching for a moment, and as soon as someone's inside her space the giant bird takes off with a screech. No one seems to be able to understand her question - why can't I change back? - and something about her bird form is angry today.

That's why she's spitting fire at you, Adell. Really.]

[biteoffherhead]

Even so... you are beautiful. You are not a demon, are you?

[icywing]

[Another 'no'. She draws herself up to her full bird-height and spreads an impressive wingspan of red-gold-white-green feathers instead.

Do you know an otherworld's phoenix when you see one?]

[tsuntrader]

[That's not just a bird. That's a very familiar one. And seeing it leaves Silver staring at it while completely still like a stantler in headlights.]

[vulcanblazer]

[Angry indeed! When that gout of flame comes rushing towards him, Adell sprints away, his headache momentarily soothed by a surge of adrenaline. The fire narrowly misses him as he evades it and keeps moving.]

The hell did I do?!

[icywing]

[The bird screeches and takes a sharp turn in the air, diving down at Silver looking ready to spout flame.]

[icywing]

[She can't exactly answer him. Nor does she want to.

Determined the fire will not miss this time, she blasts it again.]

[vulcanblazer]

[Jeez, you'd think he had disturbed her nest or something.

Another stream of flame heads in his direction, and he deftly dodges away again, at a speed that certainly doesn't look human.]

Hey! Cut it out! You're gonna set the whole building on fire if you keep this up!

[biteoffherhead]

[She's never seen one! Or even heard stories. Phoenixes tend not to be the battlefield-faring gods.]

You are impressive! Can I know your name?

[tsuntrader]

[Every last part of Silver's body language immediately shows his natural instincts. He begins to cower, he has to keep his hands and knees from shaking, and his tail goes straight down. He manages to keep a straight face, though, and keeps eye contact with Ho-oh while swallowing hard and remembering to breathe.]

...What are you doing here...? [Is this even Ho-oh? There was a Suicune running around before- Ho-oh.]

[icywing]

[Luckily she turns again, banking the dive before doing Silver any real harm. Only because she recognized him. This bird-throat is strangely reluctant to let her do any talking at all - her only recourse is to screech again, and take another sharp turn.

Right into the side of C4.

It doesn't damage the building but the giant bird goes down pretty fast.]

[tsuntrader]

[...Definitely not Ho-oh. He'll hesitantly approach the giant bird- his face pales a little, but he maintains a... Relatively straight face, anyway.]

Do you know what you are?

[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]

[If there is any way Moro can interpret that chirp-screech-call as the "Raven" it is, then so be it.]

[icywing]

[Fine! is pretty much written in her manner. This time, though, she's going to try to pick him up to carry him back to the ground.]
