There seem to be an awful lot of pigeons about today. They blanket the courtyards and pathways, cooing and fidgeting and fighting. They’re as flighty as ever, wheeling away in great flocks as soon as anyone approaches. All but the odd one or two, who hop on the spot half-heartedly, or else fly in a circle and quickly land again ( Read more... )

The captain could not think of anything better than having a look-see around. In fact it was to his better interests to understand the surroundings of which he has seemingly gotten himself into. In doing so, it would be a rather hard to ignore the seeming large and anxious flock of what he would normally consider to be nothing more than rabbits with feathers. He watches the birds with a wary eye, no one likes to be shat upon, and catches glimpses of things quite unbirdlike upon some of the braver, or stupider, of the flying rodents.

So when a few of the dirty, nervous feathered beasties wheel back around and land near by seemingly unafraid. Jack was able to get a better look at the contraptions the pigeons seem to carry.

Little canisters.

"Well that's clever."

And curious.

He bends over and whistles to the pigeons, "Here. Come here. Come closer you mite ridden feather dusters."

One pigeon in the group looks to Jack and quirks it's head to the side. It hops a few step closer, cooing softly.

kptn_sparrow May 21 2011, 04:17:22 UTC

Oh good. One of the blighters was coming.

"Come here. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm a nice Jackie. That's a good birdie now."

He gets lower even and reaches out a hand to entice the pigeon closer.

keep_hallways May 21 2011, 04:21:31 UTC

"Coo coo," says the pigeon.

Wings flapping, the bird flies the last few feet and lands at Jack's feet. Once there, it peers up at him. There's a canister on it's back. Whatever could be inside..?

kptn_sparrow May 21 2011, 04:27:40 UTC

Jack looks askance at the bird who just landed at his feet.

"Well. That's never happened before." Then he realizes that this is likely the only opportunity he is going to get to find out what is inside. "Thank you mate."

With quick fingers he is able to open the canister and pull the paper out without disturbing the ugly little thing.

"Now lets just have a gander, shall we?"

Yes, he's talking to the pigeon.

keep_hallways May 21 2011, 04:31:30 UTC

The bird holds still while Jack takes the message. Unfolding the small scroll of paper, Jack will find the following...

( ... )

kptn_sparrow May 21 2011, 04:36:24 UTC

Jack's brow furrow in deep thought. He looks to the pigeon for exclamation.

"Samples lost. Ran out of- what? What was ran out of? What samples? Whose it to anyways?" He frowns.

"That's so unhelpful, it doesn't make any sense at all." He looks again at the bird, "Is there more to it? You hiding another piece somewhere on you then?"

keep_hallways May 21 2011, 04:41:00 UTC

Sorry Jack. The bird is already fluttering back towards the group, eager to continue pecking away at the ground and cooing at it's buddies.

kptn_sparrow May 21 2011, 04:57:40 UTC

He frowns at the bird, "Well you're no help."

Maybe there was another one?

Pigeons? Have a Jack looking to see if there's another bird with a canister on it's back...

keep_hallways May 21 2011, 05:04:43 UTC

Another pigeon flutters to land a few feet to his left. There's a canister on it's back... Take a look, Jack?

kptn_sparrow May 21 2011, 05:13:43 UTC

Well, if you insist!

Jack spies the bird just on the port side of him, "Why, hello there! There's quite a few of you little bastards, aren't there?"

And he'll be out here catching every one that he can to satisfy his curiosity, or until he gets caught.

"Won't you oblige me a bit, birdie. just, hold still a moment." With a quick snatch he goes to grab the bird around the middle.

keep_hallways May 21 2011, 05:48:00 UTC

And the note reads...

( ... )

kptn_sparrow May 21 2011, 06:01:15 UTC

The good Captain's eyes get as wide as they can be when he reads the new message in his hands.

He's one to know of cursing, like a sailor even. It's another matter seeing it all written out in what appears to him to be blood, when reading and writing in the first place are such rare things that writing out 'fuck' was not something he's come across before.

Even worse still, this one seems to be done up by a mad man.

"Screaming? I don't quite like the sound of that." What is out there in this strange Keep?

He looks for another blighter with a bottle on his back.

keep_hallways May 21 2011, 06:14:45 UTC

The pigeon flies away the moment it is released, ducking through the bird swarm and sending others into flight with it. You'll have a fun time catching another, Jack.

kptn_sparrow May 21 2011, 06:22:13 UTC

"Oh, bugger."

But he is rather resolute. The birds seemingly hold the answer to a strange riddle indeed.

"If I didn't like cats, more than I don't like pigeons- I'd be well on my way to searching one out by now."

The pirate does his best impression of stalking the flock where it flies. That can't be all that's there.

keep_hallways May 21 2011, 07:10:17 UTC

But the pigeons fly high and scatter, well out of reach or too high for the pirate to get to. Track them as you might, Jack. Catching another looks like it's going to be difficult.
