Mar 18, 2008 20:05

[A weak groan, followed by ragged coughs. There's the scraping of shoes and clothing against gravel, followed by another ragged cough.]

I-- it can't... Still dark...

[ooc: He's baaaack.]

Albert!

...I'm coming for you. Hold on...

Anything you can tell me about your surroundings?

...Caesar... Wh--

[There's the sounds of hands raking aimlessly through the dirt and gravel.]

Where-- are you?

At the -- at the house.

Can you see?

[There's sounds of movement. He might not have any idea where he's going, but he's on his way.]

I can't. No-- I can't.

I can't see.

Oh runes.

Okay. Do you hear anything in particular? Anything that might be useful?

...Owls. Crickets.

It's not helpful. Damn it.

[A pause, and then the doors slam again. There's quick footfalls, another pause, and then the small, curious noise of an owl.]

Time to prove you're more than just an annoyance. He's back; help me find him, okay? Please?

[Aaaand he's off again.]

Hey Albert ... I've got a friend of yours here. He might not be a nasal bird, but he'll do in a pinch, right?

That...

Hah. Hahaha-- will it work?

My book... Where is it? Where--

Payback for all the times he's annoyed you, right?

We're heading southwest, if this creature knows what it's doing. It seems to be quite intent.

Having a bit of trouble keeping up.

He can see in the dark, at least. That's ... better than what anyone else here can do. I think.

Don't lose him. Who knows what he'll do then.

For those that matter right now, yes.

I won't. I'll be there soon, Albert, hold on...

[voice] chikaidestroyer March 19 2008, 04:51:06 UTC
I'll continue talking. Maybe that will help.

I can still feel everything. It just-- hurts. I can walk, though I probably shouldn't-- my ankle aches.

Okay. You've still got everything, so that's a start. Did they ... did they mess with your wings again?

[There's a little bird missile incoming, Al. Hope you're not too worried about your hair.]

H-hey, what's it doing..?

Reply

[voice] chikaidestroyer March 19 2008, 05:03:22 UTC
No... No, thankfully, no. Caesar, there was--

[And cue the owl digging into Albert's hair.]

Aaaahhhh!

[ooc: *facepalm* Great, Albert. Now Caesar's heard you scream.]

[voice] nowarstowin March 19 2008, 05:12:09 UTC
[It's probably a good thing, really -- otherwise, Caesar would have probably tripped over him. As it is, he skids to a halt beside his brother, wide-eyed and breathless.]

H-hey, it's me. We're okay, now. I'll get you home.

[voice] chikaidestroyer March 19 2008, 05:24:22 UTC
Augh, you damn bird, if my scalp is bleeding--

[And yet he's not moving for the bird in his hair; he's just sitting there, a hand to his forehead.]
