#02 [Accidental Video]

[BZZZZZT.

There is a birdlike shriek of pain and surprise, and feathers flash into the camera's view before cartwheeling away. Occasionally, a glimpse of a hawk silhouetted against the sky appears, in between nauseating spinning.]

< ...god dammit.>

[...and the communicator keeps falling ( Read more... )

< Oh, just fine. I just dropped my communicator from a mile up. It also electrocuted me.>

They do that if you don't use them enough... are you okay? ...Is it okay?

< I've been through worse. But...this thing is just fine. Maybe a scratch on it from when it bounced off the pavement.

...but just fine otherwise.>

[Thoughtspeech can't really convey how utterly bewildered he is at the moment.]

[Can't understand a word, but...]

Well, that is helpful.

[Okay, okay voices in my head, Riful is DNW. After her last experience with telepaths-- or specifically, one telepath who found out her secret, especially.

So a little girl will be somewhere near the edges of the park, looking kind of stunned, and kind of furious. And after a moment, pulling out her communicator, because she definitely heard some sounds from there as well~.]

is only talking burd Riful :D morphinbirdboy January 24 2010, 04:46:50 UTC
< ...and it's still working, too.>

[Tobias has indeed noticed movement at the edge of the park, and turns his sharp gaze to stare at it. A girl? And she had a communicator, too. On this entry. That was...slightly creepy.]

< Can you hear me?>

[Her head snaps up, but she'd glanced at the entries long enough to catch sight of a bird lugging the comm around.

...

Furious surprise shifts into surprise into blinking confusion feigned, of course.]

Ah... yes?

WHAT IF HE MORPHS morphinbirdboy January 25 2010, 01:02:51 UTC
< Oh, good. Seems to only work with people I'm in shouting range...>

[Tobias, of course, has no idea as to the nature of the person he's currently speaking with.]

< My name is Tobias, and yes, I'm the voice in your head right now. It's how I talk to people. I'm not reading your thoughts and you're not turning schizophrenic, and no this isn't a dream or a bad acid trip.>

[Gotta cover all the bases.]

[A hawk with a communicator--that's new. Although he can't hear Tobias and his thoughtspeech, he can piece two and two together. He's friends with animal-people who walk on two feet and can talk. A sentient hawk isn't much of a leap from that. And Tails can fly, anyways!

Especially since the communicator shocked him. Which means it's his communicator.]

Those things never break, do they?

[Of course, he doesn't get an answer. And since he's now really curious about this, Minato decides to go check it out in person.

A while later, he's standing in the park, looking around.]

< I suppose not...wait, what else have people done to these things?>

[After a moment, Tobias transcribes the same into text, and then spends some time fiddling with the thing--albeit awkwardly--to see if it still worked.]

< Who's there?>

[Bird sees more movement! And an unfamiliar face.]

[Ah, the text arrives late. Which isn't surprising, considering how hard it'd be to type with your--

WHAT THE FUCK VOICE IN HIS HEAD. Minato's never experienced this before, and probably jumps a good foot in the air when it happens. He doesn't immediately go for a weapon, even though he wants to, and stays his hand.

Likely not to be an enemy in this place. The only dangerous ones were ones that couldn't talk.]

... That would be the same question I have. I was looking for the hawk I saw on the screen earlier to make sure he or she was all right.

[He or she, not an it. Which means he's assuming that the hawk is sentient, at least.]

[Well, that certainly caught his attention. Tobias's head snapped around to focus

...actually, it was kind of funny. Had he possessed proper vocal chords, Tobias would have laughed. As it was, his thoughtspeech only buzzed with an approximation of a chuckle.]

< That would be me. I tend to think of myself as male, by the way. My name's Tobias, who are you?>

[Tobias flared his wings from the roof of a dilapidated building to show where he was. He was perched on the corner for now, to get a good view around.]
