WARNINGS: Possible violence?
SUMMARY: DAINE STALKS SUPERHEROES IN BIRD FORM
FORMAT: Starting as prose, but switching to action is acceptable

Daine had always known that hunting was the best way to get food when one was in want of a job, as she was. She dared not spend the stipend given her for a position she had yet to fully understand, much less accept. In a city like this one, though, there wasn't much game to be found. Her best bet was to change and take whatever she could get in the way of seeds, scraps, and maybe even some bugs if she got really desperate.

That was how she found out about the 'capes'. The rats who had introduced her to the city hadn't told her about the costumed superheroes running around night and day. To them, all humans wore funny cloth that would serve them better as bedding or maybe as something shiny to add to their home. These costumes were entirely different, and they deserved an explanation.

Unfortunately for Daine, her clothes didn't change with her when she became a bird and took to the skies. She had left them in the little room given her by the people who brought her here. There was simply no choice. If she wanted an explanation, she would have to do as Numair had once suggested: observe.

[ooc | Start a thread with a time and place and I'll give you a type of fowl to be stalked by! If you aren't wearing a silly costume, feel free to improvise or use animal-related superpowers on her! ]

[ooc: Fef can only understand aquatic animals. She also looks human at the moment . ]

[ When she doesn't get a response, Daine tries the turtles, who inform her that they have no clue why they're in a glass box and they would really rather like to leave. She assures them that she'll come back for them soon and they stop pawing at the case.

In the mean time, she also learns that there are a lot of strange human-like things that come to poke at their cage, and they don't see what makes the horned-fish-human so special.

Daine determines to follow her. ]

[Feferi, who has just been talking to the shopkeeper, walks over, and takes a case of turtles, after the exchange of money]

I know they said it wasn't for a pet, but I'd like to be friends! It'll be EXCITING!

[She starts off towards the subway]

I can't wait for you to meet the others!

[ The turtles start panicking again, but Daine tries to calm them, reassuring them that surely this gilled human will free them.

Also a sparrow is following you into the subway, despite all dangers. What is fast moving vehicles :| ]

[Well, that's new! There seems to be a bird somewhere, if Feferi's auricular sponge clots are functioning correctly!]

Must be raining soon, huh? That's great weather to swim up to the surface, yknow!

[ OH GOD THIS WAS A HORRIBLE PLAN THERE ARE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE AND NOT ENOUGH ROOM but she must follow those turtles. She promised them they'd be free. Although since the gilled girl mentioned swimming, perhaps she was planning to release them into a nearby pond? ]

[When Feferi gets home, she turns on the lights to hear apartment, leaving the door ajar for one moment. Her makeshift room, at the moment, was a series of large fishtanks spread out carefully by ecosystem. She moves the turtles into one of them]

When we move, I'm going to have a whole repiteblock just for us! I promise!

[ Daine isn't quite quick enough to get in the door, but she manages to keep a trail on the girl the whole way back to her apartment. She scans the side of the building for windows, looking for the girl she followed home from the subway, but this certainly doesn't look like a pond. ]

Anyways! Let's find you some food-

[She pauses]

Yknow, new friends, I feel like we're being watched.

[ The bird finally finds the window and perches on the sill, watching carefully to see what will happen next. This whole investigating thing is so much more work than Numair made it sound like. ]

[Feferi's just the slightest bit wary, and grabs her culling fork as she feeds her new turtle friends.]

No turtlenappers allowed on these shores, right?

[She makes a few imaginary jabs at the air]

[ Bird!Daine gives the gilled girl an odd look before sitting still for a moment to try to speak to her turtle friends.

They don't seem particularly bothered by the delay in their freedom... perhaps she should come back another time to set them free. ]
