The Preserve and Then Beyond Into Fandom, Tuesday Morning

Aug 02, 2011 08:40

The infection had had time to spread. The blasted heath had had time to... reproduce. The poor teal deer who first sipped from the water at the campsite had had no idea of what was about to happen - and neither had the alots that had ventured out near the rock ( Read more... )

Despite orders from Mayor Cable to stay away, Tuesday found Momoko way too worried about this 'rock' that Radio had talked about. She finally gave in and transformed.

"Just a quick look to see," Blossom thought, but her flight to the campgrounds was interrupted by the sight of something moving below her. Something that just didn't look right. She landed, wondering if maybe she was still asleep...

Once it had been a flamingo, not that it knew the word for it.

Now it was just hunger, stalking, and it skittered into the undergrowth as Blossom passed overhead, waiting to see if the girl would come closer.

Blossom was totally confused. It had kind of looked like a... no, it couldn't have been. She rubbed her eyes and floated a bit closer. Whatever it was, it totally didn't belong here. Maybe the rock had been an egg or something?

"Hi? Don't be afraid!" She tried to call out to the... thing, floating closer to where she had last seen it.

It made a chirping sound and shuffled back another step, seeing if the Bright Thing would follow it and come closer.

Come here, little girl. It would like to get to know you better.

"Aww! It's okay! I won't hurt you." Blossom wondered if it would get more scared if she tried to lasso it. She totally wished she had Bubbles' wand right now. Or a net. She stepped forward, reaching slowly to part some of the brush, trying to see what she was hunting.

It waited. It was hard to wait with the hunger driving it, but it let her come closer. One step, two.

But once Blossom started to part the brush, the hunger would not let it wait any longer. It lunged forward with an unholy shriek, looking to tear her face off or rip out her throat with its beak.

"Aaaaah!" SCARYBIRDTHINGINFACE! Blossom immediately reached up and grabbed the thing by the neck and... a wing? and tried to push it away, at least from her face. "Hey! Ah! Quit that! Ow! Calm ah tsch! Down!"

Hopefully she could get it to calm down without hurting it?

It screeched and slashed at her a few more times in desperation, but Blossom was stronger and it staggered as she pushed it away.

It danced backwards, flaring out its wings to their full span and screaming at her again before taking flight and heading back towards the blasted heath. It would find more prey, perhaps easier, back towards the cabins.

"Ow ow ow ow ow OW!" Blossom reached up and felt her face. She had tons of scratches and was actually bleeding! Superhero fail, not even able to rescue a lost bird-thing!

The bleeding had her worried, though, and she decided to put off the campground investigation. Time to head back home and do some clean-up.
