I know I'm not the only one that something weird has happened to right now, but I need some help from somebody. I know this is weird but does anybody have wings? Or ever had wings? I have a problem.

[Tifa pans the NV over her shoulder to a pair of huge, dark, feathery wings. She's holding a jacket to her front for modesty, since the sprouting of

Ah. [This here would be a lazy-eyed phoenix covered in flames peering at his video feed.] Never seen that happen before, yoi.

Ah...Phoenix? [Tifa blinks in surprise. She hasn't seen a Phoenix since the last time Yuffie had used a Materia to summon one.]

[video]

[burningfowl]

For now. [If Tifa squints, she might see just the slightest hint of amusement in the bird's eyes. He's used to surprise when people catch sight of this form.] Normally I'm a human that can change to this form at will, yoi. I seem to be stuck this way, though.

[Back to that original topic--] Your clothes didn't shift with you?

[video]

[meteor_heart]

No. I didn't really shift, they just sort of...burst out. And everything I was wearing on my top got wrecked.

[She peers at the burning bird curiously, having never heard of someone turning into a Phoenix before.]

You can turn into one at will? Cooool.

[burningfowl]

Those in my world with these sorts of abilities don't have those issues. Our clothing simply adapts along with us in one way or another, yoi. [Hence his curiosity.]

Aa, fully or partially. Perhaps I can show you once these side effects wear off.

[meteor_heart]

That sounds like it would be pretty useful, to keep all your stuff when you transform. Would keep you from burning up all your clothes. [She grins with a half-smile, knowing the joke is lame.]

I'd like to see that, I've never really seen a Phoenix up close, especially a blue one like you.

[Marco just looks a little amused at the notion.] That wouldn't be a problem even if they didn't shift along with me. [The bird leans down, nudging his NV a bit further away so that it shows more of his surroundings. He's settled down on a couch. A very flammable-looking couch.] My flames don't burn.

[video]

[meteor_heart]

Oh wow. [She's kind of in awe of you there Marco, eyes wide.] That's pretty useful.

You're a beautiful bird, if you don't mind my saying.

[video]

[burningfowl]

[That causes him to let out a quiet hum, entertained by her choice in words.] "Beautiful" isn't something I hear often, though that could be due to the company I keep. [Regardless, he isn't offended by the compliment.]

[Then, with a curious slight tilt of his head:] Will you be testing those out once you get a better feel for them, yoi?

[video]

[meteor_heart]

I suppose I could couldn't I? [She looks back over her shoulder in contemplation, tapping a finger against her lips thoughtfully.]

I don't know how I'd even start though. I've never flown like that before.

[video]

[burningfowl]

Ah, it should come easily enough if you take the time to learn how to move them. [Gracefully, he extends out his wings.] It may take some practice, but I assure you that flight can feel rather liberating.

[video]

[meteor_heart]

Oh I can only imagine. I've flown in an air ship and it was just close enough for me to want to learn how, now that I have the means. [She's grinning wide, like a giddy child.]
