second feather: flight

[brokenfirebird]

[It's... odd. You really don't realise just how much you'll miss something until it's gone, and Raven has spent the last month feeling... well, empty. Her monster form, much as she disliked it, left quite a hole when suddenly she couldn't use it anymore. After all, it was part of her.

Now that it was back, she was going to do something she very

[O.M.G. Phoenix meet... phoenix. Marco's been likewise flying around because nothing is worse than losing the ability of flight. He's looking startled at the sight of another one though.]

[brokenfirebird]

[What... what is that? A monster? Raven watches it cautiously - she likes monsters, but they can be dangerous sometimes.

It doesn't seem to want to attack her, though. If anything, it looks maybe a little scared of her? Well, she supposes she is unfamiliar...]

...it's okay.

[fierybluebird]

[Oh snap. It... she...? Talks! Only Marco can only talk in phoenix so he starts whistling.]

♫ Ah... are you another phoenix? I'm Marco!

[brokenfirebird]

[So yeah, Raven speaks human - what she hears sounds vaguely familiar, like she should understand it, but she has no idea what's being said.]

...sorry.

I don't understand.

[Tom'd been sleeping on one of Garden's roofs. In a similar fashion, he'd decided to enjoy being a werepanther - he'd missed transforming, especially when it was taken from him like that - and had just been about to go to sleep.

Except wait. Was that... was that a phoenix?

Cue the startled look as Tom immediately sits up. Of all the things he'd seen at Garden, that was pretty close to the top of his weird-meter.]

[brokenfirebird]

[Raven hadn't noticed Tom. She had been looking in another direction as she soared past, seeking out a secluded space. Too much flying became tiring - it was time to be human again, and go and get something to eat.

Unaware that anyone might be watching from above, she took on her human form.]

[tinkercat]

[... Huuuuh. Curiouser and curiouser. Tom hesitates to approach her, especially since it's obvious she doesn't want him to know, so in the end, he also de-transforms before heading over to where she is.

Stuffing his hands in his pockets, he attempts to act as casual as possible:]

So, uh... do you know where the pool is?

[Real smooth, Bronson.]

[brokenfirebird]

[She lets out a small gasp as Tom approaches her, turning to give him a suspicious glare before pointing in a the general direction of the pool.]

That way.

[ Jade isn't exactly a bird - she's a birdghost. Still, it's really cool seeing other birds here. You know, birds that are actually attending the school or something. Not, not normal birds. The really cool birds. Like you. ]

Woah.

[ She approaches the bird - you - slowly. She really doesn't know what to do, but. It's. Really cool. ]

Uh. Hi.

... I mean. Caw?

What the cluck am I doing.

[brokenfirebird]

[What in the world is that thing? Raven tries to hide her curiosity.]

What do you want?

[coolsprite]

Oh. You can talk! That's. That's cool.

[ wow she feels so embarrassed now ]

Uh. Well. I mean. I just thought you kinda looked cool. And. Stuff. I guess you're a student here?

[ awkwardawkwardawkward ]

[brokenfirebird]

...a student? I suppose.

[Definitely awkward. Raven's communication skills are approximately zilch.]
