52nd Resurrection

[sanctusdei]

Action A: [Some of you might have noticed your Christmas light and decorations going missing. None of the big or heavy things, like lawn ornaments, but things like tinsel, small wreaths, strings of lights and the like are disappearing. Or maybe you'll catch the culprits in the act - two large crows who quietly chatter and squawk at one another,

Action B of Course

[infinitemars]

[Well, Kira's more or less used to Theo's pets by now, since they're always around somewhere, so she isn't so bothered by the fact they're raising a racket. In fact, she's not even really startled by Theo's yelling; he always was rather grumpy. But catching just a little bit of the conversation, she can't help but come outside and stops as she sees the mass pile of decorations the crows have built up.]

...What in the world?

[sanctusdei]

[The birds are excited to see Kira, and caw at her their pleas. Theo shakes his head.] Shut up!

[He turns to her.] They wanna decorate for Christmas. They don't even know what Christmas is.

[infinitemars]

They want to decorate? Why? Do they like the lights or something?

[Asking this because there are a lot of lights in that stack.]

[sanctusdei]

Shiny things. Crows. That's how it goes with them. They don't know what's going on but they do remember it from last year.

B

[adropofjupiter]

[Passing by, Marisa snickers.]

Your familiars are being ornery, ze. Might want to watch out that they don't steal anything from the hellraven's territory.

[sanctusdei]

They're about to get their feathery asses kicked.

Hellraven?

[adropofjupiter]

The hellraven's name is Okuu and she's from the Underworld of Gensokyo. She's really big, really powerful and really stupid.

And territorial. Birds and all...

[sanctusdei]

And in town, I'm guessing. Hnn. You two hear that? Steal from the wrong person and you'll have to deal with her yourself.

[Phobos cocks his head, fidgeting nervously. Deimos puffs up, showing he's not afraid of anyone.]

B

[callinblueskies]

[On his way back from school, walking up the the scene of Theo arguing with his birds, it's only when Rin sees the object of their debate that he lets curiosity take over.]

Hey the got us decorations! [Yes he's looked.]

[sanctusdei]

They stole decorations. I'd make them put them back but there's so goddamn many. I'm gonna have every other drone guy in the neighborhood knocking on the door know.

[callinblueskies]

...Hang up signs saying "found decorations"? Or leave them off at the community center?

We should use some if people don't claim them.

[sanctusdei]

You can hang 'em up if you want. I don't really care. And they should have to take them to the community center.

A!

[pants_yourmove]

[[Aaron wants his decorations back.

He gives chase. They can fly, they have the advantage.]]

[sanctusdei]

[They can fly, but Christmas decorations can be cumbersome to a bird. Working together, the pair are making off with a sheep from a nativity scene.]

[pants_yourmove]

[[He's going to try and leap up to snag it with his teeth or at least scare them into dropping it.

Making growls and angry yips at them.]]

[sanctusdei]

[Well, the growling works on Phobos, the nervous one. He lets go and takes off. Deimos caws angrily at him, and gets bogged down trying to hold onto the decoration. He's not going to be able to hold it much longer.]

A

[kinships]

[Cain happened to notice the two crows on his windowsill unhooking the lights, and opens it in a hurry.]

Hey! What do you think you're doing?

[sanctusdei]

[The one bird squawks in shock and immediately flies off. The other defiantly caws at Cain.]

[kinships]

[Frowning at the one left cawing, he tries to hold onto the half untangled lights.]

These aren't yours.

[sanctusdei]

[That doesn't matter to Deimos. He likes it, and you've clearly left it outside for the taking. He hops a bit on his feet, annoyed, and pulls at the string of lights again with his beak.]
