By the Heavens glorious...

I never imagined that upon my return... That... This would occur

You are a returning student?

Do be careful. These chicks can cause your body to turn to stone. The fingers on one of my hands are immobile. (Typing with one hand is rather time-consuming.)

Do not let it break skin, or you, too, will become a victim.

[texting your face]

[aestheticemblem]

The birds are causing people to be stoned. Really?

I will have to be most careful then. Has anyone located a place where we are free from the torment of these creatures?

Re: [texting your face]

[surpass]

Yes. I am not on-campus at this time. I've evacuated to remain safe amidst this... peculiar chick invasion.

If you are to avoid these chicks, anywhere off of campus is a safe area to remain at this time. I am in the... Pictochat Inn, I believe. I have a room. You are free to share it with me if you are not against Pokemon. Ask for N's room if you are to take up that offer.

Re: [texting your face]

[aestheticemblem]

Anywhere off campus...

I see.
I think I may stay around for just a little to ensure no one else needs help. I am covered well enough that the birds should not affect me so terribly.

Your offer is appreciated. If no one is need of my aid, then I believe I will take you up on it.

[impish_shadow]

[Oh my god are you serious. Why. Why would you do this. Right now.]

Chuck the bird and come back in a week.

[aestheticemblem]

[. . .
And he is rendered speechless if but a moment.]

I only just got here... Why are you insisting I return a week from now?

[He is, however, now going to swat the bird away gently. Demonic bird or not, Marth has no intention to hurt other sentient beings unless in a defensive maneuver.]

[impish_shadow]

Because maybe things won't be layered in bird crap and the bird might not be trying to get at your tender organs.

[Yes, Marth, that adorable chicken wants your organs. She would attempt to be more helpful and friendly but she has a giant bird monster trying to be a vacuum cleaner right now.]

[aestheticemblem]

......

. . . . . .

[Did she just say bird crap? It's going to take some time before Marth is accustomed to their free ways of speech over here again.

But it'll take even more time before he's accustomed to seeing Midna again. And he can't resist asking...]

Are you safe?

[before Blaze's entry]

[shysentinel]

Yeah, lotsa people have been seein' those! I heard they can turn ya ta stone!

Um, I'm Nephenee, by the way! If ya need help, lemme know!

Re: [before Blaze's entry]

[aestheticemblem]

Nephenee... Your input has been most helpful. I take it you are handling things gracefully.

And you may call me Marth.

[Everyone else does, after all.]

[Before getting stoned]

[sportsflower]

Marth! You came back! Maybe not at the best time though...

Re: [Before getting stoned]

[aestheticemblem]

Miss Daisy, as always a privilege. Forgive me for my absence.

I will be most glad to lend a hand wherever is needed. Do what you can to keep yourself safe and leave the manual labour to me.

Re: [Before getting stoned]

[sportsflower]

All is forgiven! When this is all over, you'll have to tell me all about what you've been doing since you left!

I'll do what I can. Thanks, Marth, I appreciate it. But I like to pull my own weight if I can!

Re: [Before getting stoned]

[aestheticemblem]

[He wonders idly what's so interesting about working for the kingdom. But then, he's not her. Heavens know what she finds so amazing about it.]

I trust you can hold your own. It seems just about everyone I know can.

[Silly stubborn women.]

In that case, let us both do our very best and drive out these pigeon foul!

Have another princess

[vela_nova]

I suppose welcome back is in order, even though I'm new here too.

I'm doing my part to thin the herd.

I love princesses. Have I mentioned this yet?

[aestheticemblem]

It... certainly seems to be. I suppose I should be saying 'welcome' to you. I imagine this is not what you were expecting in a welcome, however.

Let me know if I can be of any help.

[All of these powerful women... Aaah...]

All the princesses. All the time.

[vela_nova]

Thank you. Your concern is appreciated, but for the time being I have things under control. Likewise, let me know if you need help. My name is Blaze.

Marth steals all the princesses. By becoming one himself.

[aestheticemblem]

Blaze. An esteemed honour. I am Marth of Akaneia. I am most certain we will cross paths again.

Hopefully on better terms.
