[Glancing down into the communicator's camera and pecking at some buttons is a small bird. Isn't it cute, everyone? It's teeny, and adorable, and it's feathers are rather puffed up right now because it's angry! It parts its beak, and to those unaffected by the flood, all that can be heard is a cute little series of trilling chirps. Enjoy that, guys, because all of the denizens who find themselves in animal form get to hear this being shrieked:]
What the fuck is this shit?!
[The itty-bitty bird is Amanda, who has suddenly found herself in the body of a Woodchat shrike. These birds are very cute, from their bright head feathers to their little beaks and adorable chirping call. They love to fly, and sing, and impale their prey, alive or dead, upon anything sharp and pointy in the area. Their diet consists of any living thing they can lift into the air and shove a spike through, and the females choose mates based on which male can string the most corpses up for them to view. That's what earns shrikes the nickname "butcher birds." Essentially, she's tiny, cute and absolutely, unflinchingly vicious...as usual.]
Is this a goddamn flood? It is, isn't it! Why the fuck else would I be a bird! Am I even speaking in words right now?!
[She takes a few moments to peck at her communicator, producing the following in text:]
can you understand what I'm saying/?
Saarah?
[Amanda ruffles her feathers and looks aside. If birds could look disdainful, she'd be making such an expression. Back to "speaking" aloud.]
If anyone fucks with me, they will be very sorry.
