[A sound of many birds’ caws and pigs’ snorts can be heard from the device as it turns on. It suddenly focuses on the beach where there are some makeshift constructions of wood and stone, keeping a bunch of little green pigs safe inside.

When-

Caw-caw! as a red bird is hurled towards the construction keeping the pigs safe

This is war, Estelle!

[vitalistic]

Is it a war between the birds and pigs? Do you know what exactly caused them to do battle against one another, Mizuno?

[innocentvow]

Precisely! The pigs began it all by stealing the birds' eggs! It was a horrible egg-napping!

[vitalistic]

So the birds are fighting them to get the eggs back! I see now!

[vitalistic]

I do admit that I'm rather confused by it, myself. I wish we could figure out exactly why they are fighting - especially in that fashion.

(Isn't she?) voice;

[vitalistic]

And why not? Not to say that you're wrong, but... aren't you curious?

Its strange isn't it? There are birds and pigs all over the city. I think the birds what want help taking the pigs out but... I doubt Lantis would forgive me if he saw me tossing birds around. He does like them so much!

[vitalistic]

So you think they are requesting our help? I suppose it's something we could do if they truly need it...

[And part of her honestly thinks this all looks fun.]

[eagleofautozam]

Well, they do appear to need someone to help launch them at their enemies. Are you going to try it?

[Video]

[vitalistic]

I just may at some point. Everyone looks like they are having so much fun launching the birds at them.

[commarogue]

It's a phone game. Where I'm from, anyway.

[vitalistic]

A game that can be played on something like our devices? I must admit, that sounds quite interesting.

How is it played?

[Because she can't quite imagine how the birds can be put in the slingshots then thrown towards the pigs.]

[commarogue]

Yeah. It's pretty much points-racking. Hit a bunch of pigs, use a few birds and you get more points and win.

[vitalistic]

How exactly are point scored? Does one have to hit the pigs within a certain number of turns?

[Sure, Rita's busy working on this new launcher to take those pigs down when she gets the message...But even a cursed Rita can't say no to a request like that (when it's from Estelle).

So she's soon opening up the door of their bedroom--possibly with a few feathers sticking out of her hair--curious about what Estelle has.]

You have something for me?

[She is really, really interested. Rita likes getting presents!]

[vitalistic]

[Hearing Rita enter the room, Estelle smiles as she turns from the window towards the mage. She has been watching everyone has they take down the pigs, part of her honestly wanting in on the fun, but this present most definitely comes first.]

Yes, I do have something for you!

[With a giddy expression, she reaches to the side of their bed where she pulls out a book, with a brown leather cover, bound together by a red ribbon. Obviously handmade, but Estelle made sure it looked nice. The book is closed together by the same red ribbon over the book, tied in a very nice and smooth bow. Inside the book are three works of fiction, that Estelle had copied down into the book just for her.]

[blastiafreak]

Thanks...So what's it for?

[Since she can't think of any particular reason to be getting a present. Rita smiles back, a hint of a blush on her cheeks from the attention, and takes the book from her. It looks handmade, so it's probably not a textbook; otherwise, she has no idea what it is and wastes no time opening the cover.]

[...And she only gets a few paragraphs into Estelle's story before her face is beet red. Is this what Tyr refused to tell her about? She's so horrified--that's all; it's not that she's embarrassed that it's her and Tyr and that she does kind of feel that way--and it takes her a few seconds of silence, then shocked sputtering before she can even speak.]

I...This...Th-this isn't--what is this supposed to be?!
