FML!

WHO: An angry, angry bird Fakir, and YOU (meaning it is open, come see the angry birdboy)
WHERE: All over Stan Lee's creation
WHEN: Throughout the day of May 31
WARNINGS: Uh. Nothing YET.
SUMMARY: Fakir has found himself in a very unpleasant situation. He's cruising around the City looking for help, which isn't that easy considering he can't talk.
FORMAT: hmeng. Whatever works for you, guys.



The past couple days had been hard on Fakir. The fact that he'd been transfigured didn't trouble him so much, so long as he avoided anything reflective enough to remind him. No, the loss of his own voice and the use of his hands bothered him most, because that made communication an impossibility. He knew that without a way to explain himself, he'd never be able to get back into the apartment. Not after how Mytho had chased him out.

At least the view wasn't so bad. No point in admiring it, though, not when he could be searching out anyone in this City who could help. Someone had to speak bird, right?




[[OOC note: Info up in this bitch. Just tag in with your character going about their day, as Fakir will be soaring all over the City in search of help. Because I'm Satan, he won't find truly useful help until around Wednesday or Thursday, but you can harass him now. As long as you're outdoors, you can run into him. If Fakir knows your character, he'll even seek them out//bug them.]]

Rue suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck, shaking with silent sobs. After all this time, all those things she had done in his name... She clung ever harder to the prince, tears rolling down her face.

"Rue...?"

He held her closely, not understanding her reaction at all.

[easyopentabs.livejournal.com]

Rue pulled away, sniffing and dabbing at her face with her sleeve. Why did he have to tell her this in public?

"I'm fine," she sniffed. "It's just a lot to take in."

[lovemedangit.livejournal.com]

Mytho reached up to gently brush away one of her tears. "I didn't mean to make you cry...." he said softly.

[easyopentabs.livejournal.com]

Rue gave him a watery smile.

"Of course you didn't. You wanted to make me happy, didn't you?"

[lovemedangit.livejournal.com]

Mytho nodded. "That's all I ever want for you, is for you to be happy..."

[easyopentabs.livejournal.com]

Rue looked down for a moment, thinking.

"Mytho," she asked hesitantly. "Do I make you happy? Does being with me make you happy?"

[lovemedangit.livejournal.com]

"I'm happy when you're happy, Rue," Mytho answered smoothly. It was a practiced response, one he could make without thinking.

KNOCK KNOCK WHO'S THERE INTERRUPTING BIRD

[insourarmor.livejournal.com]

Forced out of shocked silence by the urge to stop Mytho from saying something stupid, Fakir screeched in the most distracting way he could manage, rustling the leaves around him.

As soon as he got turned back, he would be talking so much just to make up for lost time.

[easyopentabs.livejournal.com]

"But do I make you--" Rue looked up at the tree, spotting the raven that was currently unleashing a volley of screeches in her direction.

"Shut up!" she barked. Even if she wasn't really the Raven's daughter, an order from her was something no raven could disobey.

[insourarmor.livejournal.com]

"NYYYEH!" the raven cawed back defiantly.

[lovemedangit.livejournal.com]

Another raven...

Mytho looked up at it warily, moving to stand in front of Rue as if to protect her from it, despite being a bit afraid.

[easyopentabs.livejournal.com]

Rue's eyes narrowed. No raven had ever been so disrespectful to her, not even Wolfgang, who only really obeyed her when he felt like it. She moved out from behind Mytho, looking back at him briefly.

"I'll take care of this, Prince," she said, before stomping up to the tree to look at the raven closer.

"Who are you?" she demanded of the bird. "One of the witch's?"

[insourarmor.livejournal.com]

"Nyeh!" Fakir said again, following it up with a hiss. If ever a bird had looked offended...

[easyopentabs.livejournal.com]

"Tell me who you are," she said again. "Or do you want the others to hear of your little bout of disrespect? You know they don't take too kindly to that sort of thing."

[insourarmor.livejournal.com]

Fakir, of course, had no idea how kindly Rues crows took to anything aside from the obvious 'not very.' He hopped up to a higher branch and chittered, eying her.

[easyopentabs.livejournal.com]

Rue was beginning to sense that there was something odd about this raven. Aside from his obvious utter lack of respect for her position, he seemed... different, somehow. As if he was out of tune with her, as if he wasn't a raven that belonged to her at all. But that was impossible, of course. All ravens belonged to her.

"Who... are you?" she asked, this time with more hesitation.

[insourarmor.livejournal.com]

Fakir stared back at her for a moment before taking flight again. Raven's daughter or not, he still didn't trust Rue. He'd visit her again if he changed his mind, but for now he didn't want to reveal his vulnerable position when she'd threatened him.

"... Was it the Witch's pet....?" Mytho asked as he watched the bird fly away.
