attempt number seven ♓ (dictated/action)

[autophoenix]

[ claire has taken it upon herself to duck out of her room and start braving the turtledove infested parts of the castle again, but only out of obligation. okay, maybe not obligation, but cabin fever practically counts. she needs fresh air every once in a while

[Someone will land next to Claire from above. Gotta love flights at night time.]

I'm sure it's been tried by now.

[autophoenix]

[ from above??? claire gives shayera a surprised look but honestly she ... needs to stop being surprised by flying people since she knows like six of them. it takes her one hesitant, weird look to get past it and respond wryly. ]

I'm willing to try again. And again. Until it works.

[maces]

[Yes, but do any of them have wings? Claire receives a raised brow in response.]

If at first you don't succeed, try until the month is over?

[autophoenix]

[ not ... exactly. but she's trying to take it in stride like all of the other weirdness in her life. plus, you can't just ask someone why the have wings, gosh, karen. brb working on a tactful way to figure that one out.

she shrugs ] What can I say? I like to just think of it as tenacity. Lots and lots of tenacity.

... extended slumber party... Akihiko...

[brbfisting]

[ NO, NO NO AND NO. STOP THAT, WOMAN. ]

Hey!

[batfail]

You're not... IN LOVE, are you?

[autophoenix]

... WHAT?! No!

ACTION FOREVER :)

[ he's coming up from behind her with koromaru by his side. he hesitates initially, wondering if he should say something considering... stuff. yeah, he's still not over the fact he's chilling in her room these days. even if it's been working so far... no more kissing and thank god. because after riful? he was ready to rip out his own tongue.

and since she's here, he can't leave now anyway. he looks up for turtledoves but the coast is clear. alright, approaching her now. ]

THIS.

[autophoenix]

[ she casts a quick glance back at him, a slightly wry smile quirking her lips to one side. ]

Looks like the coast is clear. For now, anyway. Maybe they finally decided to head South for the winter.

[brbfisting]

Hopefully. The ducks went somewhere, after all.

[autophoenix]

Just in time to get replaced by evil doves. [ grumble grumble sigh. ] This is seriously getting ridiculous, I mean, how long can they possibly stick around for? I mean, you'd think they'd have all at least gotten out of the castle by now.

/placeholder!

[ Caroline's strolling herself before she goes into work. ]

:D

[autophoenix]

Caroline! [ she runs up, getting dragged a little by her dogs when they realize running is okay, but manages to hold them back before they can get to caroline. ] Hey, how have you been settling in?

:D!!

[amplificate]

[ oh, familiar face! and a friendly one! and puppies!...not food. ] Claire! Hi! [ she'll hug and then kneel and pet. ] Okay! I'm working at Barney's coffee shop! But not on the weekends. My days off are on the weekends.

[autophoenix]

Which coffee shop's Barney's? The only one I know of's the WildKat -- I thought Jilly ran that?

[someoneto_carry]

They're immune to guns, I'll tell you that.

[autophoenix]

What kind of devil-bird is impervious to bullets?

[someoneto_carry]

Could have a pact with Satan or somethin'. Ain't that how these things go?

[autophoenix]

I wouldn't really know. Pacts with Satan aren't my area of expertise -- maybe we should ask Crowley.
