Sep 17 12:06:04 *	Now talking on #sidebirb
Sep 17 12:06:16 <dimwit105>	(test test)
Sep 17 12:06:32 <dimwit105>	(okay, we are good)
Sep 17 12:14:45 <dimwit105>	Its been a while since your lime green self appeared on a similarly colored star. Youre not sure why youre here, what youre on, or even what you are. What you do know is that you are much bigger than you used to be, about five times the size of what you once were. It took a long time to get to this point, and in that time you watched the sky, which usually appeared black. Sometimes though, a speck of color would fly past, leaving
Sep 17 12:14:45 <dimwit105>	you wondering what it was, until it disappeared. After seeing these, you soon discovered what youre large, but thin appendages were for. It took many failed attempts, but after enough pain and suffering, you found a way to move these appendages to escape the ground, and take to the air. You wonder if its possible to leave the ground forever, and never return, though you havent tried it quite yet.
Sep 17 12:16:42 <Arios>	I try to take a look around me, see where I am, whether there is anything here
Sep 17 12:19:39 <dimwit105>	Youre waking up after a sleep, looking around the seemingly flat surface of this star. Its quite dull here, with the exception of the occasional flare that spews into the blackness. Looking beyond the star though is something else, as one of those rare, delicious, and colorful specks. It wasnt there when you went to sleep, leaving you to conclude it snuck in while your eyes were closed.
Sep 17 12:20:32 <dimwit105>	The tiny white speck drifts slowly across the sky, taking its time to go wherever it seems to be going
Sep 17 12:21:48 <Arios>	'Well, it looks just as it always did. Except for that ... thing...' I think to myself. "I wonder what it is?" I say, as I stretch my wings
Sep 17 12:22:36 <Arios>	I try to take off, attempting to close the distance to the small speck
Sep 17 12:27:22 <dimwit105>	You put those countless attempts at flight into practice, launching yourself into the air, towards this tiny speck. For the first time, you leave the immediate area of lime green ball. You get further away from the star, towards the white speck, but at the same time, the white speck gets closer to the green ball. After some time, you reach a point where you can see details of this speck. Its whiteness isnt complete, but rather has
Sep 17 12:27:22 <dimwit105>	holes. Holes which when peered through reveal a dark green behind it. Its such a dark green, it almost appears black, though it still has the hue of green.
Sep 17 12:28:37 <Arios>	I keep approaching the strange object, ocasionally looking back at where I came from
Sep 17 12:31:48 <dimwit105>	Youre closer to the green ball then you would expect, meaning the object youre approaching got closer. In any case, you get closer and closer to it, revealing the whiteness moves around, sometimes revealing whats beneath it, sometimes covering it up. You continue to get closer, until something seems to be slowing you down, something you cant see, as you fly just above the white blanket.
Sep 17 12:33:27 <Arios>	"This is larger than i thought it would be. And what is this white stuff?"
Sep 17 12:33:43 <Arios>	I keep flying over the white surface for some time, trying to comprehend what it is
Sep 17 12:35:47 <dimwit105>	You fly over it, racking your brain to figure out what this might be. You have never seen anything like it, though you think its some sort of vapor, as its shape changes below you, and even in front of you, as it sometimes grows upwards, or shrinks downwards, constantly changing.
Sep 17 12:37:37 <Arios>	"Maybe I can land on it?" I say, approaching the white object, attempting to land
Sep 17 12:39:13 <dimwit105>	You attempt to land on it, but as you get closer, its harder to define where ¨it¨ begins. What appeared solid from above, turns into a haze as you get closer, letting you see further below it.
Sep 17 12:40:14 <Arios>	'okay, guess i can't' I think to myself while falling through the mist
Sep 17 12:45:01 <dimwit105>	You descend through the mist, eventually revealing something below the mist. A vast dark green surface appears before you, which is obviously liquid. It is broken up by two tall mountains that only barely reach the bottom part of the clouds. One of these mountains has a crater top, while the other one sports a much more rounded shape, though both contrast the dark green here with a pleasant shade of red and gray, which seems to be
Sep 17 12:45:01 <dimwit105>	alternating, every dull red followed by a light gray.
Sep 17 12:46:07 <Arios>	I instinctively fly towards the more rounded mountain
Sep 17 12:49:03 <dimwit105>	You get closer and closer to the mountains, particularly the rounded one. The rounded ones colors are much less defined, frequently mixing the reds and the grays, along with some unevenness, while the rougher mountain looks much clearer, with every color switch happening in the same distance, without any mixing.
Sep 17 12:49:35 <dimwit105>	There also appears to be something moving at the top of the round mountain, though you would need to get even closer to find out what it is
Sep 17 12:50:15 <Arios>	I keep approaching the rounded mountain top, closley watching my surroundings, trying to make out what is moving on top of that mountain
Sep 17 12:52:18 <dimwit105>	Youre quickly approaching the mountaintop, and get within landing range, before you realize whats moving on top of the mountain. Its a rectangular prism, rather small in size, and black in color. Its floating just above a very unnatural looking floor below it, slowly spinning around
Sep 17 12:54:19 <Arios>	"Doesnt look too bad" I say to myself, as I prepare to land
Sep 17 12:54:27 <Arios>	"Lets see what it is"
Sep 17 12:56:31 <dimwit105>	You land right beside it, making an awful sound as your talons scratch the rock below. It doesnt affect the black prism in any way though, as it continues to float and slowly turn just in front of you
Sep 17 12:57:52 <Arios>	I hop toward the prism, excited but also wary
Sep 17 12:59:58 <dimwit105>	The prism doesnt seem to mind, even as you hop up right next to it. Your light strikes the prism, though its still just as black as it was before. Perfectly black, uncannily so. You can only see the corners when their silhouettes show against the white clouds.
Sep 17 13:00:56 <Arios>	I carefully peck the prism, trying to see whether it can be moved
Sep 17 13:02:30 <dimwit105>	You peck the prism, ending its suspension, and quickly bringing it to the floor with a metallic clang. It rests here, though its seems to be vibrating now, with a tiny bit of lime green on it. This lime green matches perfectly with your own color.
Sep 17 13:03:02 <Arios>	"Whoa" I say, not sure what to do
Sep 17 13:03:18 <Arios>	I carefully touch the prism again, this time with my talon
Sep 17 13:05:43 <dimwit105>	At this, the rest of the prism quickly transforms into your color. Its vibration intensifies, until it explodes while under your talon. The explosion knocks you off your feet, and tosses you onto your back, about a meter away from the prism.
Sep 17 13:06:26 <Arios>	"Ow!" I scream, suprised by this
Sep 17 13:06:34 <Arios>	I get up and look around
Sep 17 13:08:39 <dimwit105>	You look around, a little disoriented from the blast. You notice the prism is gone, leaving fragments of your lime green all around. These fragments dont just have your color anymore, they are also outputting your light, showing their immediate area.
Sep 17 13:10:00 <Arios>	i approach one of the fragments, wondering what this is about
Sep 17 13:11:37 <dimwit105>	you approach one of the fragments, and really start taking a look at it. You stare at it for a few moments, before you feel the ground beneath you begin to rumble.
Sep 17 13:13:24 <Arios>	I try to lift off right away
Sep 17 13:18:13 <dimwit105>	You take off as soon as you can, leaving the rumbling mountain beneath you. You get quite a distance away, before the top of the mountain undergoes another detonation. In one massive explosion, rock flies in every direction, sending tiny particles flying, along with massive boulders tumbling. The debris scatters in the general area, some of it rolling into the dark green liquid below, some of it flying into the air, without
Sep 17 13:18:13 <dimwit105>	seemingly coming down. The once rounded top of this mountain now resembles the cratered top the other one had quite closely, although its much more jagged.
Sep 17 13:19:38 <Arios>	"That was close" I say to myself, flying away from the mountain, heading for the other one
Sep 17 13:22:14 <dimwit105>	You fly through the now dusty air, getting closer to the top of the cratered mountain. Its smoother than it looks from afar, having round crater walls, and even a smooth depression, which you get a great view of on your approach
Sep 17 13:23:24 <Arios>	i try to land on the edge of the crater, telling myself not to touch anything this time
Sep 17 13:24:57 <dimwit105>	you land on the edge of the crater, careful to make sure you only touch the rock. Something catches your eye though, there is a little cut in the crater, an anomaly amongst the usual smoothness. You cant quite see into it, as its rather deep/
Sep 17 13:26:47 <Arios>	i fly toward the cut, trying to see whats inside
Sep 17 13:28:29 <dimwit105>	You fly just above it, and for a brief moment, see something pure red in color. Your flight quickly carries you past it, stopping you from seeing anymore, however.
Sep 17 13:29:16 <Arios>	i turn around and approach the cut again, landing close to it
Sep 17 13:31:47 <dimwit105>	You land next to the cut, and look down to see a shard of something, buried deep into the rock. It looks unusually like the fragments of the prism you had just exploded.
Sep 17 13:34:43 <Arios>	"hm...." i think to myself, not sure what to do
Sep 17 13:34:53 <Arios>	i am still not sure what all of this means
Sep 17 13:36:42 <dimwit105>	Its red light continues to glow, just like the lime green ones did after you touched it. Something else may have been here before you.
Sep 17 13:38:11 <Arios>	"hm, maybe the other one is still here" I say, lifting off. 'Let's see what else is on this thing'
Sep 17 13:39:37 <Arios>	i try to look around the planet, seeing if there is anything else
Sep 17 13:41:57 <dimwit105>	You lift off, searching the planet. You watch below you to see if anything else breaks up the sea of deep green. You think you see a splash in the liquid below, just in the corner of your vision. When you turn your head to focus on it, it disappears, leaving only the gently bobbing liquid
Sep 17 13:42:58 <Arios>	"maybe thats the other one!" I say, diving towards it
Sep 17 13:45:10 <dimwit105>	You dive towards the splash, which appears empty at first, but as you get closer, and your light penetrates the liquid, you see a tiny reflection. The reflection of some metal below the liquid.
Sep 17 13:45:59 <Arios>	i dive into the liquid
Sep 17 13:46:05 <Arios>	towards the reflection
Sep 17 13:48:03 <dimwit105>	As soon as you touch the liquid, you immediately regret it, as it burns you just from touching it. You feel it melting away at your flesh, and disintegrating the rock dust you have collected through flight.
Sep 17 13:48:31 <Arios>	"OW!" I yell, struggling to get back up
Sep 17 13:51:21 <dimwit105>	You splash your wings in the liquid as you desperately try to escape, which you manage to do. You get back into the air, just above the ocean, making sure you keep your speed up so you can get any remaining liquid off of you
Sep 17 13:52:53 <Arios>	i try to make it back to the red mountain
Sep 17 13:53:11 <Arios>	flapping my wings to get off the liquid
Sep 17 13:54:58 <dimwit105>	You do a bit of a circle to change your heading back to the mountain. During this circle, you notice the reflection is much closer to the surface, and can even spot a few details through the waves of whats causing it. Its a long rod of some sort, but thats all the waves allow you to see.
Sep 17 13:56:14 <Arios>	not feeling good, i decide to get some distance between me and the object
Sep 17 13:57:44 <dimwit105>	You start flying towards the mountain, and after some time, you realize this thing is following you. The large metal rod is sitting just below the surface, almost watching you return to the mountain
Sep 17 13:58:53 <Arios>	'i dont like this'
Sep 17 13:59:25 <Arios>	i try to speed up, while also gaining some altitude, still heading for the mountain
Sep 17 14:03:01 <dimwit105>	You speed up, perhaps faster than this thing can go, as it starts falling behind. Once you start gaining altitude, however, it does the same, and breaches the surface, revealing this rod to be much longer than it looked. Its also much wider too, presenting a surface you could comfortably sit on with plenty of room to spare.
Sep 17 14:04:07 <Arios>	i keep flying at the same speed, but lower my flight, so see if the platform goes down below the surface again
Sep 17 14:04:14 <Arios>	to see*
Sep 17 14:05:35 <dimwit105>	You keep up the speed, and the object keeps losing ground, though lowering yourself only seems to have opened a circular hatch atop the craft.
Sep 17 14:09:10 <Arios>	i keep lowering my flight to see if anything else happens
Sep 17 14:11:04 <dimwit105>	From the open hatch, you see a much much smaller metal rod fly out of it. It leaves behind it a trail of white-orange smoke, and quickly changes direction towards you, at a much faster pace than the ocean-bound craft
Sep 17 14:12:08 <Arios>	i try to get away from the platform again, increasing my flight height while flying towards the mountain
Sep 17 14:12:23 <Arios>	i try to comprehend what this means...
Sep 17 14:14:15 <dimwit105>	As you raise your altitude, you quickly realize that this smaller rod is following you in the air. As you ascend, so does it, as it shifts directions towards you, surpassing you in speed. It seems determined to hit you, even if you change direction.
Sep 17 14:19:46 <Arios>	'if this thing wants to hit me, i will need to distract it....'
Sep 17 14:20:33 <Arios>	i let it come a little close before changing my flight into a straight dive for the ground/water
Sep 17 14:21:06 <Arios>	'maybe it also gets hurt by that green stuff' i think to myself
Sep 17 14:23:19 <dimwit105>	you make a sharp turn towards the ocean, which seems to work, as the object flies right past. However, it isnt quite done, as it loops around, before it changes its direction towards you again.
Sep 17 14:25:26 <Arios>	i keep flying towards the surface, closer and closer
Sep 17 14:25:50 <Arios>	once i am close to the ground, i will try to turn up in a sharp tunr
Sep 17 14:25:52 <Arios>	turn
Sep 17 14:28:50 <dimwit105>	You get closer and closer to the liquid, before turning up at the last second. The rod splashes right into the liquid, getting you a bit wet in it, causing a few mild burns where the drops land. Once the rod is in the liquid, the flames behind it stop, and it floats to the surface, where it sits, bobbing in the waves.

Sep 21 12:54:02 *	Arios (~Thane_GER@p5B274354.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has joined
Sep 21 13:00:23 <Arios>	Relieved, I look around to see if the platform is still there
Sep 21 13:02:11 <dimwit105>	You look to see it desperately trying to keep up with you, though obviously losing. It falls further and further behind as it fails to match your speed
Sep 21 13:04:18 <Arios>	i continue my journey back to the mountain, keeping a close eye on the platform
Sep 21 13:06:22 <dimwit105>	You make it to the mountains once again, losing sight of the platform after 10 minutes, given your speed advantage. You arrive at the mountains, which are sitting here, undisturbed by your encounter
Sep 21 13:07:57 <Arios>	I make my way to the cut in the surface and investigate again.
Sep 21 13:10:33 <dimwit105>	Just as before, there is a red shard, slightly glowing. It seems very similar to the shards you created, but this one is red. Judging by the shape of the cut, and the object in question, it looks like it was thrown into the ground with an explosion, and somewhat recently too, as the erosion is minimal
Sep 21 13:11:33 <Arios>	I try to reach the shard with my talon
Sep 21 13:11:51 <dimwit105>	While investigating though, you notice that the ground is rumbling, a gentle, almost imperceivable  rumble
Sep 21 13:12:21 <Arios>	i withdraw my talon immeideately
Sep 21 13:14:57 <dimwit105>	Withdrawing your talon, the rumble persists. Its strength is inconsistent, as it intensifies and fades seemingly at random. It feels like there is something beneath, vibrating the ground
Sep 21 13:17:04 <Arios>	I fly around the mountain to see if there is another entrance anywhere
Sep 21 13:20:08 <dimwit105>	You take a short flight around the mountain, carefully scanning it for entrances. It takes less than a minute before you spot what might be an entrance. Beneath the green ocean, you see an unusually bright cave entrance, shining onto the downwards ramp this mountain generates under the sea. Every once in a while, a bubble even raises from the cave entrance, breaking the surface and disturbing the natural waves.
Sep 21 13:21:15 <Arios>	'There we go. But there is no way I will get there in one piece, with all this green stuff in the way....'
Sep 21 13:21:36 <Arios>	I keep flying, completling one round, then head to the green mountain to look for clues
Sep 21 13:26:58 <dimwit105>	You circle around the current mountain, which reveals nothing new to you, before heading to the other one. Upon arrival, you treat this mountain similarly, searching it for clues. At first, your search proves pointless, only showing the surface of the mountain. As youre about to finish one circle, you notice a hole in the ground. A tiny hole which more or less goes straight down, into the rock. You cant see very deep, as the
Sep 21 13:26:58 <dimwit105>	only light its getting is light from your star, which has been getting brighter over the hours, but not bright enough to see the bottom of this tiny hole
Sep 21 13:28:07 <Arios>	I move closer to the hole to investigate
Sep 21 13:29:42 <dimwit105>	Getting closer to the hole helps reveal its size and depth. Its depth is enough to fade your light to nothing, while its size is barely big enough for you. A lot of tight squeezing will be involved if you were to descend
Sep 21 13:32:09 <Arios>	I decide to take a shot at it, starting to squeeze myself into the hole
Sep 21 13:34:57 <dimwit105>	You squeeze yourself into the hole, which is a very tight fit, filling your feathers with rock particles as you squeeze in. Once you get about half of your body in here, most of your movement is restricted into the vertical, as there simply isnt enough room for any other movement
Sep 21 13:35:56 <Arios>	I keep going until my entire body is in said hole
Sep 21 13:38:08 <dimwit105>	Youre entirely inside the hole, the only direction left to go is either down or up. Moving either way dirties your feathers, and provides an irritating rub on all sides of your body
Sep 21 13:38:57 <Arios>	I orient myself so that i can see what's below me and start wmy journey down the hole
Sep 21 13:40:36 <dimwit105>	For a long time, nothing is below you except for more hole. Your light lets you see about 5 meters without you controlling it, but it doesnt help you see anything useful, just more hole. This continues for the better part of an hour, before you start to hear running liquid, and the hole starts to widen just a bit
Sep 21 13:42:25 <Arios>	I keep going, making sure that I don't suddenly fall out of the widening hole
Sep 21 13:45:18 <dimwit105>	You descend carefully, which turns out to have been a good idea, as the hole suddenly widens, forcing you to dig your talons into the unusually soft stone for you to stop your fall. Once you caught yourself, you look around your limited light range, to see that youre not in a hole any longer, but rather a cavern. Its impossible to judge its size without more light, but it sounds pretty large, given the fact you can hear running
Sep 21 13:45:18 <dimwit105>	liquid somewhere nearby
Sep 21 13:46:21 <Arios>	I decide to investigate, unfolding my wings then carefully flying downwards
Sep 21 13:48:32 <Arios>	while also trying to light up the place more
Sep 21 13:50:57 <dimwit105>	You drop off of the hole, and spread your wings to glide down. Lighting up more of the area reveals nothing at first, until you get lower. Once lower, you see more of this green liquid, which seems to form rivers on the ground. The source of these rivers becomes obvious, as you fly a little more, heading straight towards a huge waterfall of green liquid, coming from straight above
Sep 21 13:51:42 <Arios>	Keeping my distance from the liquid, i decide to investivate the area around the waterfall
Sep 21 13:53:32 <Arios>	i start by flying around the waterfall, then up - at least as far as I can go without touching the liquid
Sep 21 13:56:12 <dimwit105>	You circle around the waterfall, which appears to be massive in diameter. Ascending reveals it stays this wide the whole time, until you reach the ceiling of the cavern. The liquid pours out of large hole here, creating a lovely sound of liquid on stone as it sprays you ever so slightly, leaving a small burning sensation where it hits you
Sep 21 13:57:18 <Arios>	I decide to leave this option for later, flying around the cavern floor some more instead, looking for clues as to what to do
Sep 21 14:00:47 <dimwit105>	You fly downwards, along the river, looking around. You see some things growing out of the ground, things with long stems and a single wide cap of top of said stems. They line the floor, leaving very little open space, but providing plenty of orange and blue color to it. You also hear a sound, a distant echo of metal smashing against more metal. This sound is far, but it still manages to disturb the growths below, which
Sep 21 14:00:47 <dimwit105>	literally shrink into the ground when you hear this.
Sep 21 14:03:09 <Arios>	I decide to try to find the source of the sound
Sep 21 14:05:20 <dimwit105>	You change the direction of your flight, flying towards this sound. Its an awkward flight, as you are flying more or less blind, occasionally having to quickly rise to avoid a hill you couldnt see, or suddenly drop to avoid the ceiling. After a few close calls, you hear the sound again, much MUCH closer, which reveals you are right on target for the sound
Sep 21 14:06:14 <Arios>	I keep approaching, carefully
Sep 21 14:08:39 <dimwit105>	Continued flight brings you to what appears to be the end of the cavern, and the assumed source of the sound. Most of the cavern wall is uneven, but smooth. The floor here seems unusually flat too. Along the wall, you see something thats out of place, a bit of metal juts out of the wall, sporting a spoked wheel on the most prominent end. The whole contraption is very large, and very shiny, as it reflects your light back at you.
Sep 21 14:10:20 <Arios>	Not sure what is happening here, I try piece together the puzzle that is this contraption....
Sep 21 14:11:40 <dimwit105>	This appears to be some kind of door, heavy duty too. Its doing a good job at keeping you out for the moment, though it has a weakness. It appears that the wheel may open it, should it be turned
Sep 21 14:13:54 <Arios>	"but where did that sound come from..." I mumble, as i finally figure out that this thing is probably a door
Sep 21 14:14:07 <Arios>	"maybe I should wait for a bit" I say, as I decide to hide nearby to ovserve
Sep 21 14:14:10 <Arios>	observe*
Sep 21 14:15:29 <Arios>	i also dim my light output
Sep 21 14:19:39 <dimwit105>	You dim your light as far as it will go, as you hide in a crevice you found in the wall. Your light barely goes a decimeter, lighting just the bit of crevice youre in, but not beyond. You wait in the darkness, for about 30 minutes, before you hear metal rubbing on metal, something turning. You then hear a hiss of air, and more metalic sounds, before seeing light appear in the door you so recently discover
Sep 21 14:20:45 <Arios>	I carefully peek out of my hiding spot to see what happened
Sep 21 14:21:54 <dimwit105>	You see the door, which is now open, and a flickering light coming from behind it. You also hear voices, making nonsensical noise, which flows out of the door
Sep 21 14:25:41 <Arios>	i wait patiently
Sep 21 14:25:59 <Arios>	waiting for something to happen, but ready to move
Sep 21 14:28:30 <dimwit105>	Given a few minutes, a single creature comes out of the doorway. It has a pale yellow color, a pair of legs, and a hunched over back which supports three arms, one on the left and right shoulder, and a much shorter one near the center of its chest. Its head is disproportionately large, sporting two large eyes, and a mouth. There are a couple of holes in the side of its head, which could be ears, but its hard to tell.
Sep 21 14:30:19 <Arios>	I decide to not engage the creature and keep waiting for it to leave.
Sep 21 14:31:09 <Arios>	or for something else to happen
Sep 21 14:32:06 <dimwit105>	It further distances itself from the doorway, until another creature holding a burning stick also comes out. The one with the stick turns around, and pushes the door closed, creating the sound you heard earlier, as it slams against the metal frame. It also twists the wheel, allowing you to hear clicks of mechanisms going on behind it.
Sep 21 14:32:44 <Arios>	I wait for the creatures to leave, then follow them carefully
Sep 21 14:35:17 <dimwit105>	The pair of them exit the door area, and start traveling into the darkness. They are talking amongst themselves, but any meaning is lost to you. They walk until they meet a river, at which point they turn in your direction. You quickly dodge out of their path, as they start walking towards you, and along the river, still talking and walking
Sep 21 14:36:45 <Arios>	i make sure to stay out of sight, but close. I think that they might lead me somewhere significant, but i dont know
Sep 21 14:40:43 <dimwit105>	They keep going until one of them lets out a gasp, and runs over to a plant thats different from the rest. This creature grabs the base of the plant, and in one firm tug, rips it out of the ground. The plant screams, just like you would if you were injured. The scream is painful, vibrating your head and fuzzing your vision. You lower from your standing stance to a prone one, while trying to fight the twitches you suddenly
Sep 21 14:40:43 <dimwit105>	developed.
Sep 21 14:41:57 <Arios>	I keep down, trying to regain a clear head
Sep 21 14:44:01 <dimwit105>	You stay low to the ground, constantly twitching all over the place, in your neck, wings, and legs are the most severe. Staying still seems to help matters, but it also means you arent moving when these two creatures start heading your way
Sep 21 14:44:59 <Arios>	i try to keep my movements slow and calm while looking for a safe place to hide
Sep 21 14:48:00 <dimwit105>	You cant really see anything, but it may not really matter anyways, as even standing is a challenge. You fumble around on the ground, as the creatures get even closer to you, they could see you at any moment, as soon as they stop looking at each other
Sep 21 14:49:47 <Arios>	'This is not good' I think to myself, as I try to stay as calm and dim as possibl
Sep 21 14:49:48 <Arios>	e
Sep 21 14:53:55 <dimwit105>	The creatures walk until they are right up next to you. One of them is eating the mushroom that has incapacitated you, but seems unaffected by it himself. The other one, wielding a torch turns his big eyes towards you, and lets out a gasp similar to the one you heard before. He runs up to your twitching body, and bends over, taking a look at you
Sep 21 14:54:54 <Arios>	I curl up a little bit, trying to show them that I am in a state of pain
Sep 21 14:55:02 <Arios>	I am utterly defenseless anyways
Sep 21 15:00:03 <dimwit105>	The creature pokes you with his torch, just after you curl up. It seems more curious than hostile, as it beckons his friend over, who also seems to be investigating you. Your twitching begins to slow down, as you feel the second ones hands wrap around your talons
Sep 21 15:02:36 <Arios>	i let out a low-key screech, looking at the other creature, hoping that it understands
Sep 21 15:04:59 <dimwit105>	The creature you screech at seems concerned now, and slaps his friends hands off of you. There is some complaining, and a quick argument that makes no sense to you, but it seems clear that the pair arent intending any pain
Sep 21 15:06:27 <Arios>	I try to look up to them, trying to show that i mean no hard but do need help
Sep 21 15:07:24 <dimwit105>	The other one breaks off a bit of its mushroom, and holds a bit of it right in front of your beak
Sep 21 15:10:06 <dimwit105>	It shakes the bit, insisting that you eat it
Sep 21 15:10:27 <Arios>	I pause for a second
Sep 21 15:10:48 <Arios>	then i decide that angering them would be worse than eating the shroom so i take a bite of off it
Sep 21 15:13:13 <dimwit105>	You bite off the shroom, which is way harder than it should be, but you manage to do it. It tastes sweet, and has a very rough texture in your mouth. It also seems to have some other properties, as the twitching in your mouth starts to slow down significantly after you bite it
Sep 21 15:15:50 <Arios>	I keep eating the mushroom, swallowing it bit by bit
Sep 21 15:18:31 <dimwit105>	Eventually, you get the whole thing consumed, but during the process of eating it, the other creature starts circling you, and gets to your other side. He investigates a little, and finds your left wing, which he pulls away from your side, and spreads it out as much as he can.
Sep 21 15:20:12 <Arios>	I don't try to get in his way, letting him do whatever he is doing
Sep 21 15:20:41 <Arios>	I also let out a more comfortable sound, trying to indicate that i am getting better
Sep 21 15:23:42 <dimwit105>	Your twitches are slowing every second now, especially after that mushroom. While the two creatures here investigate you from all angles, trying to figure out what you are. They spread your wings, dig through your feathers, and look into your eyes, almost documenting your anatomy. After about 30 seconds, your twitches become small enough to be manageable, though these creatures are still checking you out
Sep 21 15:24:37 <Arios>	I wait until I think they are done surveying me, then i try to get back on my feet, being very careful whilst doing so
Sep 21 15:26:11 <dimwit105>	At some point, after a couple of minutes, they pause, and start saying something to each other. This is when you stand up, which freaks them out a little bit, as they back away from you, giving you plenty of room to move around. Their curiosity has changed to a bit of fright and defensiveness.
Sep 21 15:27:27 <Arios>	I slow down my movement and bow my head towards the ground. I try to make it clear that I am not a danger
Sep 21 15:30:45 <dimwit105>	This calms them down, it seems only the sudden movement spooked them, as they calm back down. They seem fascinated by you, obviously wanting to know more, though not sure how to actually learn more
Sep 21 15:33:12 <dimwit105>	One of the creatures gets closer to you, slowly, one step at a time
Sep 21 15:33:42 <Arios>	I look at him, but let him come closer
Sep 21 15:33:51 <Arios>	I try to show signs of curiousness too
Sep 21 15:34:02 <Arios>	and try not to scare him
Sep 21 15:37:26 <dimwit105>	He gets up to you, and you feel his hands rub on the side of your wing. His hand digs beneath the surface of your feathers and down feathers, until he is holding a base of a feather. With a single swift movement, he sends an unpleasant pain down your side as he plucks out a single feather.
Sep 21 15:39:30 <Arios>	I let out a screech that indicated that this was painful, but I don't try to scare him still. I am curious about these beings and I am trying to understand why they are doing this....
Sep 21 15:43:46 <dimwit105>	He jumps backwards, and quickly gets some distance, before he starts looking over your feather. He spins it all around, and feels it, before cleaning it, and sticking it onto his arm. He keeps it there for a second, then looks at you, and then back at the feather, obviously confused
Sep 21 15:46:31 <Arios>	I try to comprehend why he did that to my feather and why he now is so confused
Sep 21 15:49:50 <dimwit105>	He seems to be comparing his anatomy with your own, which are very different. He has never seen anything like you before, and thus, is confused.
Sep 21 15:51:29 <Arios>	'Maybe they want to see why I have these?' I ask myself. 'Why do I have them actually?'. And with that, I lift off the ground, flap my wings a few times and then come back down
Sep 21 15:51:43 <Arios>	trying to show them what they are for
Sep 21 15:55:00 <dimwit105>	As soon as you take off, the two creatures duck for cover, while one of them bails completely, running for the door. By the time you land back down, one is already far away from your takeoff point
Sep 21 15:57:09 <Arios>	Once again, I remain calm, looking at the other creature with a tilted head, trying to indicate that i mean no harm
Sep 21 15:59:00 <dimwit105>	He uncovers his head with his hands, and looks up, seriously frightened at this point. He backs up, shaking in fear, before also sprinting after his friend
Sep 21 16:00:52 <Arios>	I keep stationary, not trying to scare them anymore. I also let out a warm screech, trying to show them once again - i dont mean harm!
Sep 21 16:02:22 <dimwit105>	At this point they arent even looking at you, only running away, as the two of them make it to the door, and frantically start to open it by twisting the wheel
Sep 21 16:05:03 <Arios>	I pick up the feather that the creature left behind and try to hop after them, signaling that i mean no harm
Sep 21 16:06:20 <dimwit105>	You hop towards them, as they throw open the door, rush inside, and close it just before you arrive there

Sep 24 11:55:30 *	Now talking on #sidebirb
Sep 24 11:58:29 <Arios>	I try to gather my thoughts about what just happened. I take a good lock at the door, trying to figure out a way to open it
Sep 24 11:59:40 <dimwit105>	You saw the creatures open it earlier by spinning the wheel on the door, you figure it shouldnt be too hard to mimic what they did
Sep 24 12:00:12 <Arios>	I attempt to spin the wheel myself
Sep 24 12:02:44 <dimwit105>	You awkwardly and clumsily bite the wheel, and start spinning it around. You hear metal clicks, the sound of unseen mechanisms moving as you do so, until you hear one final click, and the door becomes loose, though unopened
Sep 24 12:03:47 <Arios>	i attempt to move the door myself
Sep 24 12:04:47 <dimwit105>	The door is heavy, but given enough awkward biting and pulling, you manage to swing the door open
Sep 24 12:05:54 <Arios>	i look for any trace of the creatures, or aything else that might give me a hint as to where to go
Sep 24 12:09:38 <dimwit105>	You peek your head around the door, to see a long steel corridor. Much simpler doors occupy the walls, made of rough cut stone. There are a grand total of three of these doors, two on the left, and one much bigger one at the end of this corridor. Its very clear that something has passed through here, as you can see bits of rock and mushrooms, leaving a trail all the way to the stone door at the end. A second longer of looking at
Sep 24 12:09:38 <dimwit105>	this door reveals that it wasnt originally part of this structure, it was very clearly added on, as it doesnt match the surrounding steel at all.
Sep 24 12:10:35 <Arios>	I decide to leave the creatures alone for now and investigate the other two doors
Sep 24 12:10:42 <Arios>	starting with the closest one
Sep 24 12:12:39 <dimwit105>	You arrive at the closest door, which like the other one, appears foreign to this structure. It doesnt appear to have moved in a long time
Sep 24 12:14:48 <Arios>	i look for a way to open the door
Sep 24 12:15:35 <dimwit105>	Its a simple stone door, secured on on side. You should be able to push it open
Sep 24 12:15:56 <Arios>	I push the door open, curious to see what's inside
Sep 24 12:20:11 <dimwit105>	You open the door, and before you even finish, you notice something unusual. Theres dirt in here, which your talons dig into as you open it. Further opening the door reveals something else, large plants with thick brown stems protrude from the ground, and from these stems, branches supporting glowing blue leaves light up the room. Another immediately obvious thing is the dry blood. Theres tons of it, plastering the room, and the
Sep 24 12:20:11 <dimwit105>	plants with a deep orange blood, blood that looks alarmingly similar to your own. Red and black feathers also populate the room, though only 5 total, 3 red, 2 black.
Sep 24 12:21:40 <Arios>	I immideately leave the room, closing the door behind me
Sep 24 12:22:39 <dimwit105>	You close the door, scraping the heavy stone on its hinges. It closes shut with a thud, securing the room
Sep 24 12:23:21 <Arios>	I move on to the next room, hoping for a more welcoming view
Sep 24 12:26:18 <dimwit105>	Opening the next room is more welcoming. The room you reveal is huge, about a 20 meter square, with 70 meters of height. It contains similar plants to the last room, but one is much taller, easily 50 meters tall. The plant has very thick branches, and large amounts of glowing leaves that are almost blinding to observe at first. The plant also appears to be singing, faintly letting out a small musical note occasionally.

Sep 24 12:32:01 *	Arios (~Thane_GER@p5B27579F.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has joined
Sep 24 12:33:04 <Arios>	I take a look around, while keeping my ears focused on that plant
Sep 24 12:34:05 <dimwit105>	The room seems clean, at least compared to the last one, but only really offers this plant, which replaces its occasional note with a small, calming tune
Sep 24 12:35:21 <Arios>	I stay inside the room for a bit longer, still listening to the plant
Sep 24 12:38:01 <dimwit105>	You step beside the plant, which changes its tune from a calming one, to one of very jarring nature. The notes are out of tune, and arent lining up with each other. It sounds chaotic, and sporadic
Sep 24 12:38:23 <Arios>	I take a step back again
Sep 24 12:40:17 <dimwit105>	The music of the tree continues to build, becoming even less pleasant to listen to. The notes continue making no sense, occasionally throwing tons of unsynced notes out at once. It builds and builds, before the tree lets out a sound nearly identical to your own squawk. After this, the tree suddenly becomes quiet, even dimming its leaves
Sep 24 12:40:51 <Arios>	I step back out of the room, wondering what that was about
Sep 24 12:41:56 <Arios>	with no other options left, i make my way towards the final door
Sep 24 12:44:03 <dimwit105>	You walk towards the final door, and your ears quickly pick up the sound of an explosion happening from the other side. You feel a small vibration shake the corridor, forcing you to adjust your balance just a tiny bit
Sep 24 12:44:32 <Arios>	I take a look around, trying to make out where that explosion came from
Sep 24 12:45:10 <dimwit105>	Its behind the final door
Sep 24 12:47:37 <Arios>	I carefully approach the final door
Sep 24 12:49:18 <dimwit105>	You approach the door stopping just before it. You hear shouting, and chaos on the other side. More explosions happen too, though these ones arent big enough to shake the ground youre standing on
Sep 24 12:50:05 <Arios>	i try to open the door, looking inside
Sep 24 12:55:01 <dimwit105>	You open the door, and the first thing you see is one of those creatures, fearfully looking at something. Continuing to open the door reveals a very large chamber, lit up with small little flames. In the center of this chamber, there is large patch of green liquid, with a familar looking object in it. Its the object that shot a missile at you. There are creatures running around, carrying all sorts of things. Some of them are
Sep 24 12:55:01 <dimwit105>	running towards the object, jumping into an entrance on the top of it. The others, usually the ones that arent carrying anything, are running away, taking cover behind the stalagmites, or anything else they can find. None of them seem to notice your door opening
Sep 24 12:58:50 <Arios>	I carefully approach one of them, trying to get their attention
Sep 24 13:01:29 <Arios>	I let out a squawk towards them, as well as increasing my light output by a bit
Sep 24 13:02:56 <dimwit105>	You approach one of them, who seems to be simply cowering away from the chaos in the center. You let out your squawk, which gets the attention of it briefly. This sends a panic through it, as it scrambles away from you, trying its best to get away from you.
Sep 24 13:05:03 <Arios>	'I'm not welcome here, apparently' I think to myself
Sep 24 13:05:12 <Arios>	I stand back a bit, watching everything unfold
Sep 24 13:07:18 <dimwit105>	This appears to be true, but you dont have long to think on your thoughts, before a fireball bursts out of the side of this object. This vibrates everything, getting some rock dust into your feathers. At the same time, you hear a pained scree, almost identical to one you would let out.
Sep 24 13:10:28 <Arios>	I decide to investigate the object. I leap forward, into the same hatch that the other creatures went in
Sep 24 13:15:29 <dimwit105>	You make your way to the object, but before you arrive, you see a red bird, a large one about your size fly out of the object, where the fireball happened. Its injured, covered in cuts and missing quite a few feathers, but this doesnt stop it from frantically flying to the other side of the room, inciting panic among the native creatures here. The ones that dont panic raise up what appear to be sticks, and aim it at the red
Sep 24 13:15:29 <dimwit105>	bird, though its not clear what theyre doing.
Sep 24 13:17:21 <Arios>	I scree, trying to make it aware of my existence. "What is happenining?" I scree, hoping that it understands me
Sep 24 13:21:17 <dimwit105>	It looks behind itself, with a face of surprise and curiousity, before the creatures holding the sticks do something, making little explosions come of their sticks. The bird squawks in pain, and quickly hits the stone below it. At the same time, a second creature is coming from the exploded bit of the object. Its much darker, and a significantly smaller, and is preparing the take flight, though hasnt yet
Sep 24 13:24:42 <Arios>	I fly towards the bird, screeing "are you alright?"
Sep 24 13:27:55 <dimwit105>	As you fly to the bird, you realize you arent the only one. The raggedy black bird you saw earlier gets there first, and is the one that actually responds to your scree. "Oh dont worry", the black bird says, raising its talons above the red bird, "Shes fine!". Youre only a split second away from the pair, flying as the other creatures are fumbling with their exploding sticks.
Sep 24 13:30:03 <Arios>	"What are they doing?" I ask them, not sure what to do
Sep 24 13:33:36 <dimwit105>	The black bird lowers its talons with surprising force into the red birds body, forcing it to let out a weakened painful squawk. The black bird then responds to you saying, "Oh who knows, but they got me my kill!"
Sep 24 13:36:59 <Arios>	"So we get out of here?" I say, while flying towards one of the creatures, trying to disarm it from its stick-weapon
Sep 24 13:43:04 <dimwit105>	The black bird laughs, and says, "We? What do you mean-", at which point, it also gets hit with a few of the other creatures by their stick weapons, as you manage to disarm one of them.
Sep 24 13:46:27 <Arios>	"What are you doing???" I ask, confused
Sep 24 13:47:13 <Arios>	"You two are together, aren't you?"
Sep 24 13:50:47 <dimwit105>	The black bird raises its head, looks at you, and lets out a bit of a laugh, before it stands up, and bites a bit of the red bird. The red bird squawks in response, apparently still alive.
Sep 24 13:52:59 <Arios>	"Stop!" I yell, changing my target to the black bird, dashing towards it, talons out
Sep 24 13:54:48 <dimwit105>	"No!", the black bird shouts, getting its injured self into a defensive position
Sep 24 13:57:11 <Arios>	I try to get it off the red bird by dragging it with my talons. "Get out!", I yell to the other bird
Sep 24 14:00:39 <dimwit105>	You bear your talons down onto the black bird, which is much faster than you anticipated. It dodges most of your swipe, letting you only deal a single point of damage to it.
Sep 24 14:02:42 <dimwit105>	It laughs at you, and shouts, "Big mistake!" before taking off and meeting you midair, getting it away from the red bird. It doesnt appear to be a mistake though, as it misses you with its talons, which once closer, reveal they are serrated.
Sep 24 14:04:00 <Arios>	I turn around and try to tackle the bird down before it can recover. "We will see!"
Sep 24 14:06:38 <dimwit105>	You manage to spin around, and use its moment of lost balance against it. You ram the side of it, bringing it to the floor, pinning it by its wings with your talons.
Sep 24 14:09:18 <Arios>	"What are you doing here and why are you atting the other one?" I ask it, while making sure that it has no room to move
Sep 24 14:10:29 <dimwit105>	"Oh asking questions now are we?", The black bird says, unusually relaxed, "What is she to you?"
Sep 24 14:11:51 <Arios>	I dig my right talon into his body. "I want to know what this is, why you are fighting and what these things are", pointing at the creatures
Sep 24 14:14:30 <dimwit105>	The bird seems unintimidated, and says, "For the tastiness in the center!", it then rubs its beak on your talons, and says with a seductive, soft voice, "...and you have some too!"
Sep 24 14:15:36 <Arios>	"I don't know what you want, but you are not going to get it" I scree, digging both of my talons deep into its body
Sep 24 14:18:56 <dimwit105>	The bird squawks, as it struggles out from under you, avoiding most of your scratches, before standing up right next to you. "Is that what you think?", it says, almost taunting you
Sep 24 14:20:50 <Arios>	"Yes." I say, a bit more calm but still determined. While still talking, I go in for anohter attack, beak first
Sep 24 14:23:02 <dimwit105>	The bird completely sidesteps your attack, and attacks you with a swing of its talons, painfully sending their serrations across your body, dealing four damage, and causing significant bleeding
Sep 24 14:23:24 <dimwit105>	"Might want to rethink that!", the bird shouts, still taunting you
Sep 24 14:24:25 <Arios>	"It's not like I have another choice now, do I?", pretending to go for another attack, waiting for its response
Sep 24 14:24:35 <Arios>	reaction*
Sep 24 14:27:49 <dimwit105>	The black bird swings at you, which you easily dodge, as you spent your time focusing on it
Sep 24 14:29:39 <Arios>	Just as before, I use this moment to charge at it with my talons, going for its head this time
Sep 24 14:30:47 <dimwit105>	you slash at it, landing a solid strike despite its incredible agility. You hit it for three damage
Sep 24 14:33:18 <dimwit105>	"Well... then", the bird says, accepting the hit, before missing with its own counter attack
Sep 24 14:35:09 <Arios>	I keep at it, trying to deal as much damage to its head and upper body as possible
Sep 24 14:40:20 <dimwit105>	You drive your talons into its upper body which seems to cut through the bird like butter, only stopping when your talons dig into some dense metal, which forces you to pull out. The bird you hit is devastated by this, completely collapsing on its side, breathing heavily. Its incapacitated, but not killed
Sep 24 14:46:46 <Arios>	Using this opportunity, i turn my focus to the other bird - "Are you alright?" I shout. At the same time, I try to incapacitate the black bird further by ripping at one of its wings
Sep 24 14:49:52 <dimwit105>	You shred the black birds wings, further injuring it, then run over to the red bird. It had a glow, just like you, though that glow is very dim now. It looks up at you, barely conscious, but manages to say, "I... I d-dont...", before dropping its head
Sep 24 14:51:20 <Arios>	"Let's get out of here!" I say, looking at the black bird and the creatures
Sep 24 14:52:36 <dimwit105>	"W...wh...where?", the red bird is struggling to say, as the creatures around you stare in confusion, with conflicted faces, though keeping their weapons pointed at you
Sep 24 14:53:42 <Arios>	"I don't know. But away from that black bird", I say trying to pick her up
Sep 24 14:55:57 <dimwit105>	The bird is quite heavy, but you are strong, and you manage to pick her up, even with flight
Sep 24 14:56:43 <Arios>	I look at the creature once again, before making my way back through the corridor, out into the cave
Sep 24 14:56:52 <Arios>	where i look for a safe spot do lay her down
Sep 24 14:59:13 <dimwit105>	All the creatures point their sticks at you as you fly out, it seems like they realized you are leaving, and leave you alone. You fly out of the chamber, and into the steel corridor. You realize you still have a bleeding wound, but push through it, and get back to the open cave. Just outside the corridor door seems like an alright place to lay this bird down, so you do.
Sep 24 15:00:48 <Arios>	"Alright" I say, exhausted. "Who are you and what happened?". Meanwhile, I try to examine her and my wounds
Sep 24 15:03:47 <dimwit105>	You still have a bleeding slash on you, while this bird has quite a few of those slashes, some bleeding, some not. She also has some holes in her, not from talons or beaks from the looks of it. All of this look pretty gross though, having feathers ripping out of her. "I... I am...", she says, but doesnt really finish, still appearently week
Sep 24 15:05:21 <Arios>	I try to take care of her worst wounds first, attempiting to stem the bleeding with my body
Sep 24 15:07:31 <dimwit105>	You hold your body parts against hers, until her bleeding seems to slow down, though your bleeding hasnt stopped yet
Sep 24 15:09:44 <Arios>	I keep at it until her bleeding stops for the most part, then focus on my own wound
Sep 24 15:09:48 <Arios>	attemtping to cauterize it
Sep 24 15:11:13 <dimwit105>	You cauterize it, burning your blood, and binding it to your flesh, and stopping the bleeding
Sep 24 15:11:52 <Arios>	feeling better myself, i turn my attention back to the red bird.
Sep 24 15:12:18 <Arios>	"Hold still" I say. "You are safe". 'At least I hope we are', I think to myself
Sep 24 15:12:47 <Arios>	I continue to take care of her wounds
Sep 24 15:13:20 <dimwit105>	She doesnt say anything, leaving her shallow breathing to speak for her. Its accompanied by a quick heartbeat, which is quicker than yours has ever been.
Sep 24 15:15:01 <Arios>	"Calm" I say, while inspecting her other wounds, looking for the the worst ones
Sep 24 15:16:01 <dimwit105>	Any wounds left cannot benefit from anymore attention, its up to her to regenerate her injuries
Sep 24 15:16:33 <Arios>	I take another look at myself to make sure that I am alright
Sep 24 15:17:03 <dimwit105>	You are in a similar state, only needing time to regenerate
Sep 24 15:17:48 <Arios>	"Alright, stay here" I tell her, while I am heading back towards the black bird, wanting to make sure that it doesn't cause any trouble
Sep 24 15:19:16 <dimwit105>	You head back towards the black bird, which is being disposed of by the creatures, who are tossing it into the green liquid. If it wasnt dead before, it will be soon.
Sep 24 15:20:29 <Arios>	I take a look at the creatures, not engaging, wary of their potential reaction
Sep 24 15:21:22 <dimwit105>	They dont seem to have noticed you, standing just in the doorway
Sep 24 15:21:54 <Arios>	I move in a little closer, still keeping my distance
Sep 24 15:23:16 <dimwit105>	They toss the black bird into the liquid, and watch as the bird screams in terror, splashing around the liquid. It struggles only briefly, screaming the whole time, before it finally relaxes, and floats on the liquid
Sep 24 15:24:13 <Arios>	I let out an approving though low-key screech, trying to get the creatures attention
Sep 24 15:25:18 <dimwit105>	The creatures notice you, and seem wary, but much more comfortable around you
Sep 24 15:26:23 <Arios>	i look towards the black bird again, showing my approval of what they did
Sep 24 15:26:59 <Arios>	'I should probably get her in here. It seems safe'
Sep 24 15:27:12 <dimwit105>	One of them that tossed the bird into the liquid looks back at you, and nods
Sep 24 15:27:52 <Arios>	I try to signal them that I will be right back, before going off to get her back into the structure
Sep 24 15:29:26 <dimwit105>	You return to the bird, who seems to be moving. Bit by bit, she crawls away from the steel door, and has already made it a whole meter away from where she started, but its slow going, and obviously putting a lot of stress on her injured body
Sep 24 15:29:54 <Arios>	"Wait! Don't go anywhere. The black bird is dead"
Sep 24 15:29:59 <Arios>	"We are safe"
Sep 24 15:30:07 <Arios>	"... How do you feel?"
Sep 24 15:31:03 <dimwit105>	"Its... its not", she says, before struggling to crawl a little more
Sep 24 15:32:38 <Arios>	"You are weak right now. You should rest. Those ... things don't want to hurt us and the black bird is dead"
Sep 24 15:33:50 <dimwit105>	The bird stops, and looks at you, asking, "What... what are you?"
Sep 24 15:34:23 <Arios>	"I don't know, but I think we are the same... thing"
Sep 24 15:35:43 <dimwit105>	"Thats... ridiculous...", she says, really looking at you
Sep 24 15:36:12 <Arios>	"Why?" I ask. "We look alike"
Sep 24 15:36:26 <Arios>	"Well, you are more ... red, I guess"
Sep 24 15:36:33 <Arios>	"But still"
Sep 24 15:37:14 <dimwit105>	"The only... other creatures... I have... met... try to... kill me..."
Sep 24 15:38:38 <Arios>	"I am not one of them." I say, trying to calm her down. "You are badly hurt, you really shouldnt move as much"
Sep 24 15:39:24 <dimwit105>	"Theres... theres a light... I need to... to reach it", she says, attempting to move some more
Sep 24 15:40:21 <Arios>	I look around, trying to make out a light
Sep 24 15:41:01 <dimwit105>	There arent any lights around here, only you, and this bird
Sep 24 15:41:32 <Arios>	"I see no light", I say. "You should really get some rest I think"
Sep 24 15:42:11 <dimwit105>	"You dont... see it?", she asks, crawling just a little further, "Im... im getting... closer to it"
Sep 24 15:44:00 <Arios>	"Stop", I say, more brash this time. "You are seeing things that aren't there. You are hurt badly. Look at me" I say, trying to get her full attention
Sep 24 15:44:13 <Arios>	"You should not move any more. You are hurt. You should rest"
Sep 24 15:45:58 <dimwit105>	She looks at you, and stops moving, then says, "Maybe... maybe youre... right. Ill just... sleep... ill find... the light... later". She puts her head down, right next to your talons
Sep 24 15:47:09 <Arios>	I cover her head and upper body with my wings. "Yes, that's a good idea. I'll watch while you sleep, don't worry"
Sep 24 15:49:19 <dimwit105>	She lets out a low chirp, before drifting off to sleep under your wing

Sep 26 14:46:06 <Arios>	I decide to stay awake for three more hours or so, before also drifting off into hopefully sweet dreams
Sep 26 14:50:48 <blaxout1213>	You fall asleep, right on top of this red bird. You have a dreamless, though restful sleep, which is rudely interrupted by violent squawking coming from the red bird below you. She quickly stands up, and is looking around, panicked
Sep 26 14:52:05 <Arios>	"Hey, you're awake!" I say, still a bit dazed
Sep 26 14:53:29 <blaxout1213>	The bird spins around a few times, hyperventilating, seemingly not noticing you at all.
Sep 26 14:54:23 <Arios>	I try again, more direct this time: "Hey! Are you alright?"
Sep 26 14:56:08 <blaxout1213>	She squawks again, and flinches at your voice, before she falls over on her side.
Sep 26 14:56:54 <Arios>	I approach her, looking into her face. "Hey. Everything is alright, calm down"
Sep 26 14:57:45 <blaxout1213>	¨Im... im okay?¨, she asks, still hyperventilating
Sep 26 14:59:02 <Arios>	"Well, I think so at least. You just slept below me for a few hours."
Sep 26 15:01:27 <blaxout1213>	¨Wha... I did?¨, She asks, very confused, ¨Who... and what are you?¨
Sep 26 15:02:41 <Arios>	"My .. name is Arios ... I think", I say, not sure why this information is suddenly in my head. "And I believe I am the same thing that you are"
Sep 26 15:02:49 <Arios>	"Do you also have a ... name?"
Sep 26 15:03:24 <blaxout1213>	"What? What am I? And whats a name?"
Sep 26 15:05:20 <Arios>	"I don't know. But it just came up in my head when you asked me who I was. I am not sure why. And you look almost like I do, except that we have a different ... colour, I guess. So I think we belong to the same thing."
Sep 26 15:08:56 <blaxout1213>	"Wha... ive never met a bird that looked like this", She says, standing up, and starting to walk around you
Sep 26 15:10:20 <Arios>	"What did you call me? A ... bird?" I say, suprised as I follow her movements
Sep 26 15:11:04 <blaxout1213>	"Yeah... thats why you have these things", She says, as she lifts up your left wing, and stretches it out
Sep 26 15:13:24 <Arios>	"I guess, I just have never met another bird before" I say, explaining my situation. "So, why are you here and what happened? That other black thing was a bird too?"
Sep 26 15:15:41 <blaxout1213>	"Yes, its a bird", She says, lowering your wing back to its natural resting position, before continuing her circle.
Sep 26 15:16:28 <Arios>	"So, what happened here? And why are you here?"
Sep 26 15:19:52 <blaxout1213>	She seems hesitant to say anything, completing her circle, and looking at your eyes, looking right into your soul. She counters your question with one of her own, asking, "Why did you save me?"
Sep 26 15:23:01 <Arios>	"I ... am not sure. Because I saw you as someone like me, as another ... bird. And I saw how that other bird was hurting you"
Sep 26 15:24:42 <blaxout1213>	"That other bird...", she says, looking at the ground. One of her open talons clenches up, cracking the solid stone right beneath it. She keeps closing her talon until the stone contained transforms into dust
Sep 26 15:25:21 <Arios>	"Why... did it try to hurt you?"
Sep 26 15:25:32 <Arios>	"If you don't mind me asking"
Sep 26 15:26:31 <blaxout1213>	She pauses for a while, before quietly saying, "...Yes"
Sep 26 15:29:25 <Arios>	"... Yes?"
Sep 26 15:30:08 <blaxout1213>	"Yes", she repeats, "It tried to hurt me, and succeeded"
Sep 26 15:30:31 <Arios>	"... But why?"
Sep 26 15:30:57 <blaxout1213>	"I dont know, its been after me relentlessly"
Sep 26 15:32:35 <Arios>	"Aha. And why are you here? Did it chase you here?"
Sep 26 15:33:38 <blaxout1213>	"Ive been running everywhere, trying to find places it cant find me. Its been so long... and im so tired..."
Sep 26 15:35:28 <Arios>	"How long have you been running from it?" I ask, curious but also somewhat terrified
Sep 26 15:37:07 <blaxout1213>	"Longer than I havent been running from it...", She says, before taking a few steps away from you, collapsing onto her chest, and spreading her wings. She lets out a sigh, and gives you a sad, defeated look.
Sep 26 15:39:24 <Arios>	"Wow" I say, my sympathy for her miserable situation clearly being audible. "Well, you are safe now. It is dead. You can rest now - I will make sure nothing happens while you do"
Sep 26 15:40:19 <blaxout1213>	She lights up a little bit, both literally and figuratively. "Dead?", she asks
Sep 26 15:41:31 <Arios>	"I think so" I say
Sep 26 15:41:50 <blaxout1213>	"How?"
Sep 26 15:41:59 <Arios>	"I hurt it pretty bad and those things back there threw it into the green sea"
Sep 26 15:42:06 <Arios>	"It screamed but then stopped"
Sep 26 15:42:23 <Arios>	"I don't think it will come back"
Sep 26 15:42:30 <blaxout1213>	"Is it still there?"
Sep 26 15:42:46 <Arios>	"I dont know. Should we look?"
Sep 26 15:44:20 <blaxout1213>	"Yes!", She shouts, then stands up, and then shouts "No!". She paces around quickly, then shouts "I dont know!"
Sep 26 15:45:12 <Arios>	"Okay, I will take a look" I say, perparing to walk towards the base again
Sep 26 15:45:43 <blaxout1213>	"Stop!", she shouts, "What if it isnt dead?"
Sep 26 15:47:51 <Arios>	"Then it would already have come for us, wouldn't it?"
Sep 26 15:48:14 <blaxout1213>	"Thats not how it works!"
Sep 26 15:49:21 <Arios>	"How does it work then?"
Sep 26 15:51:37 <blaxout1213>	"It will wait for you to come to it, then it will hit you"
Sep 26 15:54:46 <Arios>	"So we should just not come towards it?"
Sep 26 15:55:11 <blaxout1213>	"Then we sit here forever, unless we somehow confirm it is dead"
Sep 26 15:55:57 <Arios>	"Can't we just leave it behind?"
Sep 26 15:56:18 <blaxout1213>	"Then it will find a way to be ahead, I have no idea how it does it"
Sep 26 15:58:07 <Arios>	"Well, we have to do something. I think we should go together"
Sep 26 15:58:47 <blaxout1213>	"Together? Like both of us?"
Sep 26 15:59:00 <Arios>	"Yes"
Sep 26 15:59:15 <blaxout1213>	"Well go where?"
Sep 26 15:59:38 <Arios>	"To where I last saw the bird"
Sep 26 16:00:54 <blaxout1213>	The bird seems really uneasy, just short of terrified, though not as fearful as before. "Okay... sure", she says, with uncertainty in her voice
Sep 26 16:02:53 <Arios>	"Well then, lets go" I say, also uncertain but determined at the same time

Oct 01 17:55:36 <dimwit105>	You walk up to the door, with this red bird following you. Shes nervous, scared even, visibly shaking as she stands beside you.
Oct 01 17:59:07 <Arios>	"I will try to open it" I say as I move towards the wheel, attempting to open the large door again
Oct 01 18:00:25 <dimwit105>	"I-I dont think that is a g-g-ood idea", the red bird mumbles, as you crank the door open, revealing the empty hallway behind it. The two side doors of the hallway are open, but the final door at the end remains closed.
Oct 01 18:01:23 <Arios>	"Well, what do you think we should do?"
Oct 01 18:01:53 <dimwit105>	"F-f-find a safe place, a-and sit th-there. Forever"
Oct 01 18:03:26 <Arios>	I pause, turn around and approach her
Oct 01 18:04:05 <Arios>	"We cant just hide forever" I say, as I try to comfort her. "But if you want to, we can sit down for a while"
Oct 01 18:04:27 <dimwit105>	"Why c-cant we hi-hide forever?"
Oct 01 18:06:38 <Arios>	I put my wings close to her. "Hey, things will be better. I don't know what that thing make you go through, but it will stop now. You are safe. If you don't want to, i can look myself"
Oct 01 18:08:17 <dimwit105>	She lights up, and you feel her shivering slow down. "Y-you will?", she asks
Oct 01 18:09:26 <Arios>	"Only if you want to. Here..." I say, while comforting her, keeping her close
Oct 01 18:12:18 <dimwit105>	"I... I would like that", she says
Oct 01 18:12:50 <Arios>	"Alright then" I say, loosening my grip somewhat. "... Do you feel better?"
Oct 01 18:13:56 <dimwit105>	"Y-yes", she says, though her shivering hasnt slowed down any further
Oct 01 18:15:46 <Arios>	"I tighten my grip a little. "Okay." I say. "Let's just wait for a moment" I continue, as I start hugging her again
Oct 01 18:20:11 <dimwit105>	She stands here, shivering in your wings, seemingly only getting more nervous. She looks around at every single sound, twitching each time, even though these noises have always been here.
Oct 01 18:22:12 <Arios>	"Hey, hey." I say. "There's no need to worry right now. We are okay"
Oct 01 18:22:40 <Arios>	"I know this must sound strange to you, after so much time" I say in an attempt to comfort her. "But we are safe"
Oct 01 18:23:42 <dimwit105>	"Y-yes, safe", she says, still shaking under you
Oct 01 18:25:36 <Arios>	i keep her close to me, hugging her further. "Yes, safe."
Oct 01 18:27:09 <dimwit105>	She keeps shaking and shivering, looking at the source of every drop of liquid hitting the ground, which is plentiful in this massive cavern
Oct 01 18:28:01 <Arios>	"Why are you so focused on that? It is nothing dangerous"
Oct 01 18:28:31 <dimwit105>	She doesnt answer, just watches, not letting her guard down
Oct 01 18:30:03 <Arios>	"Hey"
Oct 01 18:30:26 <Arios>	"You are safe" I say
Oct 01 18:30:34 <Arios>	"There's nothing to be afraid of right now"
Oct 01 18:32:00 <dimwit105>	She snaps a little bit, and shouts, almost screams, "I dont believe you! Its out there! Coming to get me! Cant you feel it!?" She jumps away from you, and heads into the corridor, turning down the second open doorway, the doorway you know holds the singing tree
Oct 01 18:33:54 <Arios>	"Wait" I scree, follwing her. "Where are you going?"
Oct 01 18:35:03 <dimwit105>	You follow her into the corridor, and into the tree room. She is sitting there behind the tree, looking all over the place, making sure the place is clear
Oct 01 18:37:12 <Arios>	"Do you really feel safer in this place?" I ask, looking around again, trying to see if anything has changed
Oct 01 18:38:58 <dimwit105>	The place looks the same to you, as the red birds eyes quickly turn to you. "The s-sounds are s-softer here
Oct 01 18:39:06 <dimwit105>	"
Oct 01 18:40:06 <Arios>	"Alright. You wait here while look for the black bird. Then, we get out of this place"
Oct 01 18:40:14 <Arios>	"Will you stay here while i look?"
Oct 01 18:41:38 <dimwit105>	"Y-yes", she says, just as shaky as she has been
Oct 01 18:42:14 <Arios>	"Please. I want to help you"
Oct 01 18:42:32 <Arios>	"just wait and hide in here. I will be back as quickly as i can"
Oct 01 18:42:49 <Arios>	with that, i back out of room, making my way towards the main door
Oct 01 18:44:32 <dimwit105>	You walk up to the main door, which is sealed shut
Oct 01 18:45:03 <Arios>	I look for a way to open it
Oct 01 18:45:49 <dimwit105>	The wheel on the door seems like a good place to start to you
Oct 01 18:46:24 <Arios>	i start turning the wheel in an attempt to open it, ocasionally looking back at the roomm i just came out of
Oct 01 18:47:45 <dimwit105>	You turn the wheel until the door swings loose, while the red bird remains in the room, or at the very least didnt leave through that doorway
Oct 01 18:48:34 <Arios>	I take a look inside the main room again, trying to see if anything has changed since my fight
Oct 01 18:51:17 <dimwit105>	You take a look inside, and notice very quickly lots of things. First of all, metal shrapnel is everywhere, laying atop the stone floor. Whats also everywhere are bodies of all the creatures, covered in blood and black feathers. The stone around the edge of the liquid is scorched black, as if by explosion, and the device it once held is gone.
Oct 01 18:53:58 <Arios>	'uh oh' I think to myself, trying to comprehend what happened here
Oct 01 18:56:34 <dimwit105>	The bird that you thought had died apparently hadnt. These feathers werent here before, they are new, and the blood coating the floor is too. It seems like this happened about twelve hours ago, judging by how dry the blood is. As for the scorched rock, it appears an explosion as really did do it, which would explain the shrapnel too
Oct 01 18:57:40 <Arios>	Not wanting to take too long, i return to the room with the tree, looking for my new companion
Oct 01 18:57:56 <Arios>	now much more wary of my surroundings
Oct 01 18:59:44 <dimwit105>	You walk back into the corridor, your clacking footsteps apparently worrying your new companion, as you hear her squawk just before you turn the corner. She seems a little relieved when you walk in, though still very much on guard
Oct 01 19:00:57 <Arios>	"Are you alright?" I ask her
Oct 01 19:01:34 <dimwit105>	"Y-y-yes", she says, shivering more than ever
Oct 01 19:02:16 <Arios>	"You are so shaky" I say
Oct 01 19:02:25 <Arios>	"Did something happen?"
Oct 01 19:04:18 <dimwit105>	She abouts her mouth as if to say something, then stops completely. This only lasts for a brief moment, before she stands and starts repeatedly screeing at you, while backpedaling towards the corner of this room, looking all around
Oct 01 19:04:56 <Arios>	I turn around to see if anything is behind me
Oct 01 19:05:33 <dimwit105>	You turn around to see a single black feather descending from above, before it softly lands behind you
Oct 01 19:06:33 <Arios>	I jump aside, looking above my head to try and spot where that feather came from
Oct 01 19:08:04 <dimwit105>	You look up, though your light doesnt go all the way to the top, you see two tiny dots, reflecting a combination of green, red, and blue light back at you.
Oct 01 19:09:58 <Arios>	"Get out of here!" I say to my friend while I try to understand what these dots are, being very wary of any change in their appeearance. My gut tells me that there is something off about them
Oct 01 19:12:12 <dimwit105>	You dont have to tell the red bird, she is already out of there, while you see the lights disappear for a fraction of a second, then return, almost as if they had blinked. The lights move a bit, but one disappears, but the remaining one is fixated on you
Oct 01 19:14:18 <Arios>	"There is a way back up. I will meet you there!" I scree at my follower, while i start to ascend, very cautious about any potential attack coming in from above. I also try to increase my light output to max
Oct 01 19:16:56 <dimwit105>	You start cranking your light output to 11, easily lighting up the remainder of this room. As soon as you start doing this though, the little lights disappear, only leaving behind a little hole where they were. As you ascend further, you realize this hole is more than a hole, its a tunnel, leading further into the wall of stone
Oct 01 19:19:22 <Arios>	I decide that it would not be a good idea to split up right now. I fly back down, attempt to close the door as much as possible before speeding out into the main cave, trying to get hold of my companion
Oct 01 19:34:14 <dimwit105>	You exit the room as fast as you can, turning down the corridor to see a terrified red bird run out of it. She goes into the cave, jumps as if she is about to take flight, and spreads her wings. She doesnt take flight, however, and instead flops to the ground, wings spread to reveal every individual feather
Oct 01 19:35:16 <Arios>	"Hey! Are you ok?" I ask while approaching her
Oct 01 19:35:28 <Arios>	"There should a hole in the celing here. one that alloes us to get out"
Oct 01 19:36:07 <dimwit105>	she doesnt respond at all, and as you approach her, you notice her twitching is so severe, she cant even move
Oct 01 19:38:50 <Arios>	"Come on, we are almost out of here" I say while approaching her. I try to help her get up once again
Oct 01 19:41:15 <dimwit105>	You help her up, feeling every violent twitch push your muscles around too. With your assistance she is on her feet, but she is leaning heavily on you, still twitching intensely. She looks at you, or at least tries to, as her twitches crank her head around
Oct 01 19:42:22 <Arios>	"What happened to you?" I say, not really expecting an answer. I try to comfort her as much as i can, while looking for a way out
Oct 01 19:43:35 <dimwit105>	"T-th-thi-this i-i-is th-the e-end. I-Its h-h-here!", she says
Oct 01 19:45:49 <Arios>	"It is not the end" I say. "even if it is, we will make it"
Oct 01 19:45:54 <Arios>	"you need to focus
Oct 01 19:46:38 <dimwit105>	She doesnt say anything, only viscously vibrates as you support her
Oct 01 19:48:12 <Arios>	'fine then' i think to myself
Oct 01 19:48:34 <Arios>	"I know you are around here! Come out and fight!"
Oct 01 19:51:00 <dimwit105>	"F-f-fight?", the red bird says, apparently catching her attention, while you look around, and see a pair of lights, just like before. These lights watch from above, motionless
Oct 01 19:52:11 <Arios>	"I see you up there!"
Oct 01 19:52:17 <Arios>	"What do you want?"
Oct 01 19:52:20 <Arios>	"Don't hide"
Oct 01 19:53:19 <dimwit105>	The lights sit there, before disappearing for a fraction of a second. They watch for a second longer, before they disappear, and you hear the sound of flapping wings
Oct 01 19:54:12 <Arios>	'Here we go' I think, preparing myself for combat
Oct 01 19:56:55 <dimwit105>	You prepare yourself for a fight, but it doesnt come. Instead, you hear a few wing flaps above you, and a single black feather falls down on top of you. It falls so close on top of you, it feels deliberate. Every single decimeter closer brings more stress and panic out of this red bird, as she starts hyperventilating as it lands right in front of both of you
Oct 01 19:58:15 <Arios>	"Well, I will wait"
Oct 01 19:58:19 <Arios>	"I know you can hear me"
Oct 01 19:59:42 <dimwit105>	"I-I-Its pl-playing wi-with us", the red bird says, between quick and shallow breaths
Oct 01 20:01:04 <Arios>	"You are right" I say. "But we can wait here"
Oct 01 20:01:27 <Arios>	"try to focus, however hard it is for you right now"
Oct 01 20:01:57 <dimwit105>	"O-On wh-what?", she says, "O-on dy-dying?"
Oct 01 20:02:18 <Arios>	"On resisting it"
Oct 01 20:02:30 <Arios>	"It wants you to fear. Don't let it have it"
Oct 01 20:02:33 <Arios>	"Resist!"
Oct 01 20:03:08 <dimwit105>	"H-h-how?"
Oct 01 20:03:23 <Arios>	"Don't fear it"
Oct 01 20:03:27 <Arios>	"It's just another bird"
Oct 01 20:03:35 <Arios>	"We killed it before. We can do it again"
Oct 01 20:04:06 <dimwit105>	"B-bu-but its t-talons... th-the way th-they ri-rip th-through my fl-flesh"
Oct 01 20:05:14 <Arios>	"So can yours! Fight its attacks. Bring it down!"
Oct 01 20:05:24 <Arios>	"It did all this to you, do you really want it to get away with that?"
Oct 01 20:05:47 <dimwit105>	"I-I ju-just wa-want it to lea-leave me al-alone
Oct 01 20:06:26 <Arios>	"It will never do that if you just let it rip you apart. It wants something off you. I don't know what, but if you don't let it, it might stop"
Oct 01 20:06:43 <Arios>	"If you only flee, getting weaker and weaker, it won't"
Oct 01 20:07:30 <dimwit105>	"I-if I gi-give it wh-what it wa-wants, it w-will lea-leave me alone too?"
Oct 01 20:08:42 <Arios>	"It wants something inside of you. Something that you cant live without"
Oct 01 20:08:47 <Arios>	"You cant let it have that!"
Oct 01 20:09:34 <dimwit105>	"Th-then what d-do I do?"
Oct 01 20:09:47 <Arios>	"Fight it!"
Oct 01 20:09:55 <Arios>	"Show it that it wont get what it wants"
Oct 01 20:10:05 <Arios>	"And kill it"
Oct 01 20:10:13 <Arios>	"Or hope that it goes away"
Oct 01 20:10:22 <dimwit105>	"Bu-but it do-doesnt die!"
Oct 01 20:11:45 <Arios>	"we can still hurt it"
Oct 01 20:11:53 <Arios>	"show it that it isnt worth it"
Oct 01 20:12:00 <Arios>	"to fight us"
Oct 01 20:12:42 <dimwit105>	"H-how ca-can we kill so-something that do-doesnt die?"
Oct 01 20:12:50 <Arios>	"Not kill"
Oct 01 20:13:24 <Arios>	"hurt it. Hurt it enough that it doesnt want to attack anymore. that it realizes that its not worth it"
Oct 01 20:13:30 <dimwit105>	"Its only a matter of time!", she shouts, for the first time without stutters
Oct 01 20:14:18 <Arios>	"Not if we change that!" I say, determined but also obviously a bit startled about her sudden ability to speak clearly
Oct 01 20:16:02 <Arios>	".. you sound better"
Oct 01 20:16:09 <Arios>	I say, not sure how to feel about this
Oct 01 20:16:50 <dimwit105>	"Why does that matter?", she asks, her fear replaced with more of a frustrated determination
Oct 01 20:17:15 <Arios>	"I just noticed it" I say, while looking for the bird above me
Oct 01 20:18:23 <dimwit105>	She steps on her feet, independent from you, and asks, "What am I supposed to change? How am I supposed to change anything?"
Oct 01 20:19:03 <Arios>	"It has been haunting you for so long. Dont you want to give some of that fear and hate back?"
Oct 01 20:19:13 <Arios>	"Don't you want to make it pay?"
Oct 01 20:19:23 <Arios>	"Hurt it just like it has hurt you?"
Oct 01 20:19:51 <dimwit105>	"No! I dont! I just want to be alone!"
Oct 01 20:20:47 <Arios>	"YOU WONT BE ALONE UNTIL YOU FIGHT IT" I scream, lifting off. "If you want to be alone, then you need to fight it!"
Oct 01 20:21:03 <Arios>	"Are you too scared to attack? Come on, I'm waiting"
Oct 01 20:23:05 <dimwit105>	The red bird stays quiet, though its expression changes from one of frustration to one of anger. While at the same time, you hear a ragged cackle come from above
Oct 01 20:24:21 <Arios>	"No, really. I'm actually waiting. There is nowhere for me to go anyways" I say, while increasing my light outpust as far as i can
Oct 01 20:24:26 <Arios>	"And I know you won't either"
Oct 01 20:24:29 <Arios>	"For some reason"
Oct 01 20:24:32 <Arios>	"Tell me, why?"
Oct 01 20:26:27 <dimwit105>	You increase your light output as much as you can, and just at the edge of your light, you see a barely visible black bird. Its talons are dug into the ceiling, and its crooked smile is watching you. Its reflective eyes shine your light back at you too, giving its face a tiny bit of green color
Oct 01 20:28:29 <Arios>	"So, what will you do?"
Oct 01 20:29:30 <dimwit105>	"Oh? Me?", the black bird says, "I thought you wanted to give little red here a peptalk"
Oct 01 20:30:58 <Arios>	"She needs it after what you've done to her"
Oct 01 20:31:13 <Arios>	"Why are you still going after us? And how are you even alive?"
Oct 01 20:31:24 <Arios>	I keep myself ready for an attack, just in case
Oct 01 20:32:44 <dimwit105>	"Oh you silly bird", the black bird says, looking at you, "You were born yesterday werent you? Does mother know you left the nest?" The bird finish with a laugh, though hasnt made an aggressive move yet
Oct 01 20:36:01 <Arios>	"Tell me then.  I want to know"
Oct 01 20:36:56 <dimwit105>	"Why should I tell you?"
Oct 01 20:37:54 <Arios>	"Why shouldn't you?"
Oct 01 20:39:26 <dimwit105>	"I wont tell you, but I will tell her", the black bird says, before letting go of the ceiling, and spreading its wings to glide downwards
Oct 01 20:40:10 <Arios>	"I've killed you once and I'll do it again if you do something to her", I say, more to myself than the bird
Oct 01 20:42:12 <dimwit105>	The black bird flies down, until its in front of the red bird. Here it lands, just in front of a very scared red phoenix. The whole time though, it doesnt do anything aggressive, just lands in front of the bird, and looks her in the eyes. Its raggedy figure standing clear in her light, as she backpedals away from it
Oct 01 20:43:57 <Arios>	"well then" I say, a little suprised by how passive the bird has been so far. "Go ahead"
Oct 01 20:45:38 <dimwit105>	"I go on my own terms", the black bird says to you, as the red one shivers in fear, expecting to be struck at any moment.
Oct 01 20:45:45 <dimwit105>	"Anyways", the black bird continues
Oct 01 20:48:16 <dimwit105>	It looks to the red bird, and says, "Now you see, somewhere behind your chest, there is something very special. It should feel warm to you, the warmest part of you. This little sphere is very special, as it has the tastiest thing one can find. Im going to get to it, and devour it whole. It will be all mine, and it will taste delicious""
Oct 01 20:49:21 <dimwit105>	At this, the red bird freezes in place, so much so that she actually falls over, dirtying her wings on the cavern floor.
Oct 01 20:49:35 <Arios>	"Why do you want it so bad?" I ask it. "You have been hunting her for so long"
Oct 01 20:49:42 <Arios>	"Isnt there an easier way to solve this?"
Oct 01 20:52:07 <dimwit105>	"Well, perhaps...", the black bird says, as it goes besides the red bird. "All I have to do is punch through the flesh", the black bird says, gently placing his beak about one third down the red birds back. "Right here, about half a beak lengths down"
Oct 01 20:53:05 <Arios>	"That would kill her! Get away!"
Oct 01 20:53:28 <Arios>	"I know it"
Oct 01 20:53:31 <dimwit105>	"She wouldnt feel it, id make it quick"
Oct 01 20:54:11 <Arios>	"You make one false move and I will kill you and rip your sphere out! I know you have one too - I saw it"
Oct 01 20:54:18 <Arios>	"You are not killing her"
Oct 01 20:55:05 <dimwit105>	"All you have to do is turn around and fly away. You can never come back, and you will never have to worry about this again."
Oct 01 20:55:17 <Arios>	"I wont"
Oct 01 20:55:32 <Arios>	"You attack her, I'll attack you. Now: Get. away. from her."
Oct 01 20:56:22 <dimwit105>	"You are so adamant to defend one which you do not know. Tell me, why?"
Oct 01 20:56:59 <Arios>	"She is the only one i know. And you are not like me or her. You are ... different"
Oct 01 20:57:27 <dimwit105>	"Yet we understand each other. Fascinating, isnt it"
Oct 01 20:57:46 <Arios>	"Do you know why? I don't"
Oct 01 20:59:29 <dimwit105>	The black bird laughs, and cleans up a few feathers of the red bird with his beak. "I have been around much longer than you, though that knowledge still escapes me. Only a matter of time though, isnt it"
Oct 01 21:00:12 <Arios>	I move towards it and put myself between the two.
Oct 01 21:00:18 <Arios>	"Get away"
Oct 01 21:02:05 <dimwit105>	"What? You want to clean her feathers yourself?", the bird laughs, a ragged laugh, and continues, "You and her eh? That would be something"
Oct 01 21:02:56 <Arios>	"I dont trust you"
Oct 01 21:03:11 <Arios>	"At all"
Oct 01 21:04:16 <dimwit105>	"Oh its okay, ill hurt your girl later, but for now, ill let you have a moment." The bird says, then turns around to fly away
Oct 01 21:05:25 <Arios>	I use that opportunity and charge right at it in a swift attack, Talons out, aiming for its core
Oct 01 21:09:58 <dimwit105>	The bird spreads its wings to fly, and you rush at it, striking its wings with your talons. It squawks as you draw blood, then looks at you with a face of anger. "I came down to talk, and yet you DARE STRIKE ME?" it says, before charging at you with its serrated talons
Oct 01 21:11:39 <Arios>	"You were going to attack sooner or later!" I say, while trying to evade the oncoming attack
Oct 01 21:13:33 <dimwit105>	Its serrated talons strike you on the head, digging deep, past your skull, and even hitting your brain within. Everything goes fuzzy for a second before regaining its color and definition. This happens just in time for you to see the bird fly away, obviously not wanting a fight, just a bit of revenge for the hit you gave it
Oct 01 21:14:40 <Arios>	"FINE, GO. AND DONT COME BACK!" I yell at it, somewhat desperate
Oct 01 21:15:09 <dimwit105>	You hear the laughing of the bird slowly fade, before it finally diminishes to nothing
Oct 01 21:16:12 <Arios>	"Ugh. It's gone"
Oct 01 21:16:24 <Arios>	"For now at least" I mumble, while looking for the red bird
Oct 01 21:17:46 <dimwit105>	The red bird is still laying there, traumatized by what just happened. She is breathing, but other than that, isnt moving
Oct 01 21:20:03 <Arios>	"You... see what i mean? It wont go until it has what it wants
Oct 01 21:20:14 <Arios>	"or until it realizes that it wont get it"
Oct 01 21:20:46 <dimwit105>	"It... I...", the red bird says, speechless
Oct 01 21:22:22 <Arios>	I approach her again, trying to comfort not only her, but myself
Oct 01 21:23:14 <dimwit105>	"I... I dont know... what to do..."
Oct 01 21:25:53 <Arios>	"nor do i"
Oct 01 21:26:09 <Arios>	"But i do know that i wont give up without a fight"
Oct 01 21:26:42 <dimwit105>	"Its a fight... we cant win", the red bird says, standing up
Oct 01 21:27:43 <Arios>	"Maybe not right now" I say. "How long has it been hunting you?"
Oct 01 21:28:12 <dimwit105>	"Forever"
Oct 01 21:29:17 <Arios>	"Ever since you left your... star?"
Oct 01 21:30:13 <dimwit105>	"Wait...", the red bird says, "Now that im thinking about it, it started following me once I passed a... thing"
Oct 01 21:30:34 <Arios>	"a thing?" I ask, suddenly very curious
Oct 01 21:31:57 <dimwit105>	"I dont know what it was... I just bumped into it while trying to get somewhere else"
Oct 01 21:32:43 <Arios>	"what did it look like?"
Oct 01 21:32:54 <dimwit105>	"Thats the thing, it didnt"
Oct 01 21:33:14 <Arios>	"it was dark?"
Oct 01 21:33:55 <dimwit105>	"Yeah, even though I was right next to it"
Oct 01 21:34:16 <Arios>	"Weird"
Oct 01 21:34:24 <Arios>	"Maybe that's where it came from"
Oct 01 21:34:49 <dimwit105>	"It only showed up after that, but that was so long ago"
Oct 01 21:35:07 <Arios>	"anyways, it just hurt my head. We should go somewhere safe maybe ... somewhere we know"
Oct 01 21:35:14 <Arios>	"My star"
Oct 01 21:35:25 <dimwit105>	"You have one too?"
Oct 01 21:36:15 <Arios>	"Yes! And it should be close"
Oct 01 21:36:25 <Arios>	"I think we should go there
Oct 01 21:36:32 <Arios>	"Hopefully we will be safe there"
Oct 01 21:36:43 <dimwit105>	"Anywhere, but here, please"
Oct 01 21:37:17 <Arios>	"Lets go then. I know the way out" I say, looking for that hole in the surface of the cave
Oct 01 21:38:30 <dimwit105>	You cant see through the darkness of the massive cavern, but you have a general idea of where the hole is
Oct 01 21:38:57 <Arios>	"Are you ready to go?"
Oct 01 21:39:04 <Arios>	I prepare myself for liftoff
Oct 01 21:39:14 <dimwit105>	"Yes. There is no reason for me to stay"
Oct 01 21:40:04 <Arios>	"Let us go then" I say, lifting off, heading for the direction of the hole
Oct 01 21:40:10 <Arios>	"How did you get in here anyways?"
Oct 01 21:40:36 <dimwit105>	"I swam", the red bird says as it follows you
Oct 01 21:41:00 <Arios>	"what is swimming?"
Oct 01 21:41:29 <dimwit105>	"You know that stuff that you splash in, and it burns your skin"
Oct 01 21:41:48 <Arios>	"You went through that?" I ask, very confused
Oct 01 21:42:01 <dimwit105>	"Yes"
Oct 01 21:42:06 <Arios>	"I tried to, but it burnt me, so i didnt try again"
Oct 01 21:42:21 <Arios>	"there is a small hole in the surface. It's small, but i got through"
Oct 01 21:42:31 <Arios>	"We can use that instead"
Oct 01 21:42:44 <dimwit105>	"There was a hole under the liquid, so I went to it"
Oct 01 21:43:12 <Arios>	"There is a hole in the rock there, that just goes upwards"
Oct 01 21:43:18 <Arios>	"Right to the ... top, i guess"
Oct 01 21:43:41 <dimwit105>	"Im following you"
Oct 01 21:44:12 <Arios>	I make my way towards the top of the cave, looking for the hole
Oct 01 21:45:37 <dimwit105>	The two of you make your way to the hole, but your wound on your head, its not healthy, and is still bleeding quite badly
Oct 01 21:46:49 <Arios>	"Hold on, my head still hurts"
Oct 01 21:46:52 <Arios>	"it hit me there"
Oct 01 21:47:04 <Arios>	"can you ... maybe do something abput it?"
Oct 01 21:47:42 <dimwit105>	"Maybe, but not while we are flying"
Oct 01 21:48:10 <Arios>	I try to cling to the rocks on the celing
Oct 01 21:50:42 <dimwit105>	You dig your talons into the soft rocks, hanging off of them just like the black bird did. The red bird does the same right next to you, as more blood drips from your head
Oct 01 21:51:30 <Arios>	"do you think you can close the wound?" I ask her, knowing that i cant really reach it myself
Oct 01 21:53:17 <dimwit105>	"Heh, hurts doesnt it, ive gotten quite a few of these in my time, just hold still", she says, as you feel her start to get warmer
Oct 01 21:55:10 <dimwit105>	She gets her beak close to your head, and burns the bleeding wound, causing the blood to stick together, and stopping the bleeding.
Oct 01 21:55:28 <Arios>	"... Thank you" I say, looking in her eyes
Oct 01 21:55:46 <dimwit105>	"Dont mention it", she says
Oct 01 21:57:06 <Arios>	"... I guess we should go now" I say, pointing at the hole
Oct 01 21:57:11 <Arios>	"I can go first if you want to"
Oct 01 21:57:46 <dimwit105>	"Sure", she says, the most relaxed you have ever heard
Oct 01 21:58:55 <Arios>	"You seem a lot more ... fine, than you did before" I say, as i squeeze my body into the hole, trying to go upwards
Oct 01 22:00:03 <dimwit105>	"Its a little calming to finally know what that thing is after"
Oct 01 22:01:20 <Arios>	"We will find a way to fight it" I say, continuing my way through the hole
Oct 01 22:02:08 <dimwit105>	"Its inevitable, though, isnt it?", She says, as she follows you
Oct 01 22:03:05 <Arios>	"You are accepting your death? Just like that?"
Oct 01 22:03:18 <Arios>	"Maybe there is a way"
Oct 01 22:03:36 <Arios>	"If we show it that we wont give up, or if we manage to constrain it"
Oct 01 22:03:46 <Arios>	"but i'm not sure"
Oct 01 22:04:05 <dimwit105>	"Youre pretty optimistic, arent you"
Oct 01 22:04:45 <Arios>	"What is the other option? Die?"
Oct 01 22:05:42 <dimwit105>	"See what I can see before it gets me"
Oct 01 22:06:40 <Arios>	"Have you been alone for all that time?"
Oct 01 22:06:47 <Arios>	"maybe it needs more than one to bring it down"
Oct 01 22:07:57 <dimwit105>	"We already brought it down, but it came back up", she says, as you climb out of the hole
Oct 01 22:08:38 <Arios>	"There has to be a weakness" I mumble as I exit the hole, taking a look around before lifintg off towards the sky
Oct 01 22:10:11 <dimwit105>	You lift off towards the sky, which holds a tiny dot of light, your star. The red bird follows you, spreading her wings and taking flight as well. "Im not so sure", the red bird says
Oct 01 22:11:26 <Arios>	"Lets get to my star for now" I say, lifting off the planet towards my home
Oct 01 22:15:35 <dimwit105>	"For sure", the bird says, as she follows you to your star. It got so far away from just a simple little journey. It takes much longer than you expected to get there, a grand total of 3 days. Over that time, both of you regenerate more or less to full strength, though your head isnt all there yet. The two of you sleep in space whenever you get tired, having already done the maneuvering it takes to drift to your star. You arrive at

**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Oct  2 18:17:23 2017

Oct 02 18:17:23 *	Now talking on #sidebirb
Oct 02 18:17:36 <Arios>	"Well, we've made it" I say, a bit exhausted but relieved
Oct 02 18:18:41 <dimwit105>	"This place... its just like where I came from", the red bird says, pecking the surface of the star, which you can almost feel
Oct 02 18:19:21 <Arios>	"I have never seen another one" I say while getting visible more comfortable
Oct 02 18:19:55 <Arios>	"I think we should just rest for a while. That thing has been chasing you for so long, but its over. For now"
Oct 02 18:21:11 <dimwit105>	"You really think so?", she asks, as she looks up in the sky, scanning it for movement
Oct 02 18:21:31 <Arios>	"I hope so"
Oct 02 18:21:42 <Arios>	"But this place is the safest I know"
Oct 02 18:21:48 <Arios>	"And ... my home"
Oct 02 18:21:55 <Arios>	"I dont think it will attack here"
Oct 02 18:23:43 <dimwit105>	"How do you know?"
Oct 02 18:26:46 <Arios>	"I dont"
Oct 02 18:26:51 <Arios>	"But we cant run forever"
Oct 02 18:27:03 <Arios>	"And if there is any place where it wont, its here"
Oct 02 18:29:25 <dimwit105>	The red bird sits down, wiggles back and forth on her talons until she is apparently comfortable. She then looks over to you, and asks, "Why?"
Oct 02 18:30:27 <Arios>	"It ... just feels right. Like, this is my home. This is warm and bright. The bird is black and dark. I just don't think it would"
Oct 02 18:30:42 <Arios>	"You said that it came from a dark place. This place is not dark - not at all"
Oct 02 18:32:28 <dimwit105>	"No, not that, why did you save me. You had a chance to walk away and leave me to fate, but you didnt. Instead, you chose to get yourself involved in this, and now its after you too"
Oct 02 18:35:36 <Arios>	"It ... ... You are the first .. bird I've ever seen. And you were so similar to me. I wanted to know you, I was curious. And it was attacking you, so I fought it"
Oct 02 18:36:09 <Arios>	I say, slightly nervous
Oct 02 18:36:28 <Arios>	"It ... just felt like the right thing to do" I mumble, while looking at her again
Oct 02 18:41:49 <dimwit105>	She listens in silence, before she stands up, walks beside you. She sits back down, parallel to you. Her wing rubs against yours, as she sets her head down. "Thank you", she whispers, almost inaudiably
Oct 02 18:44:39 <Arios>	I respond by moving closer to her, also tilting my head towards hers
Oct 02 18:50:03 <dimwit105>	She lays there, breathing slowing down as she relaxes for the first time in a long while. She drifts closer to sleep every second
Oct 02 18:52:05 <Arios>	I try to get in a position that is as comfortable as possible for her
Oct 02 18:52:14 <Arios>	enjoying the warmth
Oct 02 18:54:44 <dimwit105>	Within less than a minute, she is asleep, marking the calmest you have ever seen her so far. Her breathing is deep and slow, and its slow rhythmic pattern is relaxing to you too
Oct 02 18:56:28 <Arios>	I try to keep myself awake for a bit, enjoying her warmth and comfort for as long as possible
Oct 02 19:00:01 <dimwit105>	Its hard to keep yourself awake, its just so peaceful here. Its a struggle just to keep your eyes open
Oct 02 19:05:50 <Arios>	I try to stay awake for a bit, looking at her
Oct 02 19:05:56 <Arios>	but eventually drift into sleep
Oct 02 19:11:38 <dimwit105>	You drift to sleep, which seems very peaceful. The first thing your groggy eyes see is  a blob of blackness, standing over another red blob of red, seemingly digging into it
Oct 02 19:14:07 <Arios>	I wake up immidiately, turning my attention towards the black spot
Oct 02 19:15:42 <dimwit105>	Your vision clears, and you see the red bird, covered in blood, laid across the surface of your star, while the black bird you know so well is tearing apart her flesh, towards the center of her body
Oct 02 19:16:59 <Arios>	I go for the black bird, beak first, in an attempt to push it away from her
Oct 02 19:19:58 <dimwit105>	As soon as you stand up, you twitch, and your head reels upwards rather violently off of the red bird you fell asleep on. Your vision is groggy again, as you start waking up once more. She is still sleeping, just below you, all of her blood inside of her, and her flesh intact.
Oct 02 19:21:41 <Arios>	After I understand what happened, I decide to not take any chances. I scan the sky, looking for any oddity, then i try to stay awake until she gets up again
Oct 02 19:25:56 <dimwit105>	The skies are empty, everything seems clear as the red bird sleeps beneath you. You stay on alert for several hours, before she wakes up, or at least appears to. She lets out a yawn, and stretches her red wings into your face, before she shakes all of her feathers, fluffing them out. After all that, she still goes back to laying on her side, with blinking eyes
Oct 02 19:27:02 <Arios>	"Hello there", I whisper in a volume that won't wake her up if she is still asleep but that will get her attention should she be awake
Oct 02 19:28:12 <dimwit105>	Her eyes continue to blink, as she raises her head to look at your eyes. She lets out a quiet chirp to indicate she is awake, but doesnt say anything
Oct 02 19:29:12 <Arios>	"Don't worry, I'll let you be" I say in a quiet voice, keeping close to her
Oct 02 19:29:24 <Arios>	"Take your time"
Oct 02 19:32:08 <dimwit105>	She kicks her talons around slowly, then rolls onto her back, butting up next to you. She releases another quiet chirp, as she is becoming more and more awake.
Oct 02 19:32:57 <Arios>	I watch, somewhat entertained, but also happy that she is better
Oct 02 19:36:22 <dimwit105>	She wakes up the rest of the way, which becomes evident as her chirp becomes louder, and she starts rolling against you, trying to push you over. She manages to do so with ease, pushing you onto your side, as she rolls into your space, and gets on her feet
Oct 02 19:37:21 <Arios>	I laugh, not even caring about her rolling me aside. I'm just happy that she is alright
Oct 02 19:40:01 <dimwit105>	She spreads her huge red wings, and gives them a few flaps. This sends air rushing in between your feathers for a moment, before she pulls her wings back in and says, "I havent slept that good in forever!" with a loud and happy voice
Oct 02 19:41:06 <Arios>	I get up as well, visibly happy that she is feelig so well. "You look much better as well" I say
Oct 02 19:41:46 <dimwit105>	"I do?", she says, inspecting herself, "I still look red to me"
Oct 02 19:42:27 <Arios>	"You are brigher" I say, not sure how to answer. "And you just look more ... healthy"
Oct 02 19:45:16 <dimwit105>	"Im missing a few cuts, and I have all my feathers back again. That hasnt happened since I flew into the dark thingie"
Oct 02 19:47:58 <Arios>	I look at her with glowing eyes, very happy about how this turned out. "I am just glad you are feeling better too"
Oct 02 19:48:04 <Arios>	"It must have been so tiring"
Oct 02 19:50:16 <dimwit105>	"I just cant wait to...", her energy suddenly dies down, as she says, "Oh... its still out there... waiting for me to leave, isnt it"
Oct 02 19:51:13 <Arios>	"Maybe. But that is why we are here. To have some time, without it"
Oct 02 19:51:20 <Arios>	"Maybe we can think of something"
Oct 02 19:52:25 <Arios>	"A way to get rid of it"
Oct 02 19:52:39 <dimwit105>	"How?"
Oct 02 19:53:00 <Arios>	"We need to find its weakness. I'm sure it has one"
Oct 02 19:53:08 <dimwit105>	"I have never fought before"
Oct 02 19:53:08 <Arios>	"What do we know about it so far?"
Oct 02 19:54:32 <Arios>	"It's not hard"
Oct 02 19:54:38 <Arios>	"And about time"
Oct 02 19:54:53 <Arios>	"You can't run from it forever. But there has to be a way to get rid of it"
Oct 02 19:54:58 <Arios>	"we just have to find it"
Oct 02 19:56:38 <dimwit105>	"It talked to you, maybe... maybe there is a way to talk it out of this"
Oct 02 19:56:58 <Arios>	"Maybe"
Oct 02 19:57:12 <Arios>	"It wants your ... what did it call it ... core"
Oct 02 19:57:19 <Arios>	"But I don't know why"
Oct 02 19:57:36 <Arios>	"Maybe there is a way that it can get that without hurting you"
Oct 02 19:57:49 <Arios>	"Maybe there are other cores"
Oct 02 19:58:04 <Arios>	"But if there is no way, then we have to make sure that it doesn't follow us anymore"
Oct 02 20:00:00 <dimwit105>	"I want to talk to it, in a place where it cant hurt us"
Oct 02 20:00:40 <Arios>	"Do you have any idea where such a place could be?"
Oct 02 20:02:01 <dimwit105>	"No, but I want to see what else there is to see, but it seems so impossible with it chasing me"
Oct 02 20:03:51 <Arios>	"We need to make sure that it doesn't chase us. That .. thing we were on was the first time i went away from my star and it could hvae killed me easily, even without the black bird. If it keeps following us, staying safe will be impossible"
Oct 02 20:04:12 <Arios>	"We NEED to make sure that it doesnt want our cores anymore"
Oct 02 20:04:16 <Arios>	"I am not sure how though"

Oct 13 18:55:59 *	Now talking on #sidebirb
Oct 13 18:57:34 <dimwit105>	"You will help me find out?", The red bird asks, raising her head to you
Oct 13 18:58:20 <Arios>	"Of course" I say, determined
Oct 13 18:59:55 <dimwit105>	The red bird looks up into the sky, but stays quiet. She stares for a while, before asking, "and then what?"
Oct 13 19:00:47 <Arios>	"I ... havent thought of that yet"
Oct 13 19:00:57 <Arios>	"Maybe see what is out there. If there are more like us"
Oct 13 19:01:03 <Arios>	"I think there must be"
Oct 13 19:01:48 <dimwit105>	The bird thinks for a bit, still staring at the sky, then takes off, without saying a word
Oct 13 19:02:40 <Arios>	"Where ... are you going?" I say in a low tone, following her
Oct 13 19:03:39 <dimwit105>	She stays quiet, and continues upwards, away from your star. She continues her silence as she starts looking around the void
Oct 13 19:05:23 <Arios>	I am not sure what she is up to, but i quietly follow her at some distance
Oct 13 19:07:42 <dimwit105>	She drifts off, away from your star, looking around, occasionally mumbling, "...where?". After a couple of minutes, she really picks up the pace, and accelerates away from your star, faster and faster
Oct 13 19:08:07 <Arios>	"Where ..." I say to myself, keeping up with her pace
Oct 13 19:10:09 <dimwit105>	"Where!?", She shouts louder, and really starts putting the distance on. "Where are they then?!", she says, confused and frustrated
Oct 13 19:11:21 <Arios>	"Some... where. I don't know." I say. "They've got to be somewhere ... there is no way we are the only ones..."
Oct 13 19:11:26 <Arios>	"That can't be"
Oct 13 19:11:53 <dimwit105>	"Then we have to find them! Find them before the dark birds kill them all!"
Oct 13 19:13:17 <Arios>	"Are you sure?" I say, not really expecting an answer
Oct 13 19:14:19 <dimwit105>	At this, she stops flying, though her speed is more than enough to drift her forward. She looks at you, and says, "Maybe... maybe we are the last ones left..."
Oct 13 19:15:34 <Arios>	"All of this is so .. huge. There is no way it killed every other one"
Oct 13 19:15:36 <Arios>	"I hope"
Oct 13 19:15:54 <Arios>	"Didnt you say that it only started when you flew close to that thing?"
Oct 13 19:16:12 <dimwit105>	"Yes... thats... thats when it started"
Oct 13 19:16:45 <Arios>	"And it has been only following you since"
Oct 13 19:16:57 <Arios>	"So I don't think it killed any other ones"
Oct 13 19:17:03 <Arios>	"At least I hope"
Oct 13 19:18:10 <dimwit105>	"We need to find more. If there are more, they will be chased by this bird... once its done with me"
Oct 13 19:18:37 <Arios>	"And we might be stronger toghether too
Oct 13 19:18:41 <Arios>	"Let us go then"
Oct 13 19:22:22 <dimwit105>	The red bird sighs, and continues her acceleration forwards. The two of you travel onwards for quite a while, escaping the light of your own star. It dims and dims as you fly further, until it disappears, its light no longer reaching you. Here, in the void, you two are the only remaining sources of light... or so you thought. Continued flight reveals a tiny white dot, its clearly not a star, but its impossible to tell exactly what
Oct 13 19:22:22 <dimwit105>	it is without further inspection.
Oct 13 19:23:23 <Arios>	"Should we take a look?" I ask her
Oct 13 19:24:01 <dimwit105>	"Birds will be hiding, just like I was"
Oct 13 19:24:22 <dimwit105>	She continues her flight towards the white dot, faster than ever
Oct 13 19:25:13 <Arios>	I follow her, curious as to what that white dot might be
Oct 13 19:27:40 <dimwit105>	The two of you approach this white dot, which grows and grows. It is so small, definitely not a star, but instead a planet. You are much closer than you anticipated, reaching the tiny planet in a matter of hours. Its white glow is hazy through its thick translucent atmosphere, which seems to be still, devoid of winds. The red bird heads straight for the atmosphere, letting the air embrace her wings.
Oct 13 19:28:52 <Arios>	I follow, trying to make out any details below the thick atmosphere....
Oct 13 19:31:36 <dimwit105>	The air touches your wings, stealing your warmth and sending shivers through your body. You attempt to peer through the thick misty air, and manage to see what is producing this white light. Little critters, with wide thick caps which dangle long tentacles beneath them are responsible for this light. They dimly produce pure white light, which alone is nothing, but their sheer numbers light up much of the area around them
Oct 13 19:33:32 <Arios>	"Look at that! There are small things that make all the light!"
Oct 13 19:34:48 <dimwit105>	"Like us!", the red bird says, slowing herself to a hover right beside one of these creatures. She tilts her head in curiosity, as she dips below it to inspect it from other angles
Oct 13 19:36:58 <Arios>	I take a look around before also inspecting one of these creatures
Oct 13 19:39:44 <dimwit105>	The discs atop the tentacles grow and shrink just a bit, which seems to move them through the air. Their light pulses almost unnoticeably as they move. Your feathery companion touches the disc with her beak, which makes the light from the touched creature immediately cease, before it starts falling towards the ground
Oct 13 19:40:10 <Arios>	"uh oh"
Oct 13 19:40:29 <dimwit105>	"What?", she asks, a little confused
Oct 13 19:42:40 <dimwit105>	The critter continues to fall towards the ground, while the red bird breaks her hover, and descends with it
Oct 13 19:42:58 <Arios>	"I think you might have hurt it" I say, also moving downwards
Oct 13 19:43:29 <dimwit105>	"How could I hurt it? I barely touched it!", she says, as she dodges the other creatures as she descends
Oct 13 19:45:27 <Arios>	"I don't know. But its not bright anymore", I reply, descending along her side
Oct 13 19:47:37 <dimwit105>	The two of you descend through the brightly lit fog, all the way down to land, perhaps a surface. The unlit creature lands on a ledge, producing a nasty squish sound as it splats against ground. The red bird lands on the ledge, and looks at the critter she touched, confused and worried.
Oct 13 19:49:30 <Arios>	I take a good look around, trying to spot any nasty surprises that might cross our way
Oct 13 19:51:49 <dimwit105>	You look around the ledge, past the ledge in all directions. Behind the ledge, you see more land, which consists of rolling hills covered in a reflective foliage. Beneath the ledge, you dont see much at first, but upon closer inspection, you see something reflecting light upwards, back towards you
Oct 13 19:52:29 <Arios>	"There is something over here I think...." I say, while moving towards the ledge
Oct 13 19:53:15 <dimwit105>	The red bird was poking at the squished creature, but at your voice says, "What? Whats over there?"
Oct 13 19:53:46 <Arios>	"Let's see". I peek over the edge....
Oct 13 19:55:26 <dimwit105>	You peer over the edge which reveals the reflectiveness just beyond the fog. Its a liquid of some kind, blue in color. It reflects your light almost perfectly, undisturbed by any external forces.
Oct 13 19:56:04 <dimwit105>	The red bird peers over the ledge too, trying to see what youre seeing
Oct 13 19:56:41 <Arios>	"What should we do?"
Oct 13 19:57:58 <dimwit105>	The bird hops off the ledge, either forgetting to open her wings, or deliberately not. She drops into the fog, spreading her light throughout
Oct 13 19:59:50 <Arios>	I follow her
Oct 13 20:02:21 <dimwit105>	The two of you drop through the air, before you hear a splash below you, followed by the birds laughter. Soon, you follow too, and enter the freezing liquid beneath the ledge. She circles you in the liquid, sometimes diving beneath it, only to reappear at your other side
Oct 13 20:03:18 <Arios>	"Whow, it's cold. But also fun!" I laugh, joining the fun
Oct 13 20:05:09 <dimwit105>	"This is great! I love-", the red bird says, before diving under the liquid, and resurfacing beneath you, pushing you entirely out of it. You find yourself laying on top of her back, as she looks back at you
Oct 13 20:06:43 <Arios>	I look back at her, clearly enjoying the moment to its fullest
Oct 13 20:08:28 <dimwit105>	She squawks, and throws you into the freezing liquid besides her, making a splash where liquid meets feather. For a brief moment, you are completely submerged, and underneath the liquid, hear a muffled, though still deafening, screech, which penetrates the water.
Oct 13 20:12:01 <Arios>	I surface again, still full of joy
Oct 13 20:12:45 <dimwit105>	You surface to find your red companion on alert, looking up towards the ledge, but remaining completely still
Oct 13 20:15:04 <Arios>	I stop any movement, looking at the edge. I quietly whisper: "What happened?"
Oct 13 20:15:35 <dimwit105>	"You di-didnt h-hear that?", she responds, shaking
Oct 13 20:16:08 <Arios>	"That wasn't you? Oh"
Oct 13 20:17:06 <Arios>	"Where did it come from..." I wonder, trying to find out the screeches source
Oct 13 20:18:30 <dimwit105>	You look towards the ledge, where you heard the sound. It sounds like it came from past the ledge though, on the land above you.
Oct 13 20:20:24 <Arios>	I carefully decide to take a look. I slowly start moving upwards, trying not to make any noise
Oct 13 20:23:54 <dimwit105>	You lift off of the liquid, doing your best to maintain a silent flight. You arrive at the ledge quickly, but quietly. You see the familiar rolling hills, and more of the ledge which seems to continue forever in both directions. There is nothing new to see, but there is something to hear. You hear chirps, repeated ones full of pain in the distance. They are weak, and every chirp is weaker than the last, getting quieter and quieter
Oct 13 20:25:39 <Arios>	"That could be one of ours Let's go!" I say to my follower, just loud enough for her to hear it. I start moving towards the source of the screeches
Oct 13 20:30:25 <dimwit105>	She squawks in acknowledgement, and takes off towards you as you approach the sound of the chirps. You get closer to them, and finally find the source of the sounds. Its certainly not a phoenix, but it still may be a bird. A tall creature coated in black blood lays on the ground, it has legs, two of them, which are very long. At the end of these legs are yellow talons, similar to yours. Above the legs are a wide torso, which
Oct 13 20:30:25 <dimwit105>	supports two arms and a head. Behind the torso is a set of wings, covered in dull brown and white feathers, same as the rest of the body. Above the torso is a head, smaller and more compact than yours, but it still holds a beak, which is small, but still there.
Oct 13 20:33:40 <Arios>	I look around for any souce of danger, then I approach the presumed bird
Oct 13 20:33:58 <Arios>	"Can you hear me?" I try to ask in a soft voice
Oct 13 20:35:27 <dimwit105>	You look around, not seeing what caused this damage. You speak to the bird, at which, it reaches its arms towards you, grabbing your neck, and pulling your head closer
Oct 13 20:36:32 <dimwit105>	It makes a few clicking noises with its beak, before it reaches beside it with its other arm, grabs something, and displays a black feather to you
Oct 13 20:37:40 <Arios>	I try to understand what the creature is trying to tell me, while starting to cater for its wounds
Oct 13 20:39:32 <dimwit105>	The sounds of the creature make no sense to you, as it relaxes, and rests itself onto the reflective glass beneath it. While this happens, you hear another bird behind you starting to hyperventilate
Oct 13 20:40:56 <Arios>	I quickly glance around, looking for anything out of the ordinary. "What's the matter?" I ask her
Oct 13 20:41:35 <dimwit105>	"Th-th-that feather! I-Its h-here!", she says, looking around
Oct 13 20:42:11 <Arios>	"Oh, you think thats its feather?"
Oct 13 20:42:26 <Arios>	"just, calm down. Keep in mind, we want to talk to it"
Oct 13 20:43:58 <dimwit105>	She looks around, still hyperventilating, then runs to your side, and huddles as close as she can to you. "W-who e-else ha-has bl-black fea-feathers?"
Oct 13 20:45:52 <Arios>	"True. Just ... calm. It's not here right now, stay calm"
Oct 13 20:46:02 <Arios>	"You will have to if you want to talk to it"
Oct 13 20:47:02 <dimwit105>	"I.... It....", she says, calming down just a bit, "I d-dont tr-trust it"
Oct 13 20:48:59 <Arios>	"I don't trust it either. But you can barely speak right now." I finish treating the bird-things most severe wounds and then turn to her: "You need to face it. Don't be afraid, there is no reason to anymore" I say, as I tug her close
Oct 13 20:49:52 <dimwit105>	As you pull her close, she says to you, almost whispering, "You... you w-will keep me safe?"
Oct 13 20:50:12 <Arios>	"No. We will keep us safe"
Oct 13 20:50:32 <Arios>	"We can deal with it together"
Oct 13 20:51:54 <dimwit105>	"I... I dont know how to fight..."
Oct 13 20:52:30 <Arios>	"You don't have to. But you have to show strength"
Oct 13 20:52:44 <Arios>	"If you don't and just run away, it will hunt and get you at some point"
Oct 13 20:53:08 <Arios>	"But if you tell it to leave you and show that you can fend for yourself, then it might just leave you alone"
Oct 13 20:55:56 <dimwit105>	She lets out a large exhale, and says, "I... I will try"
Oct 13 20:56:22 <Arios>	"Thank you" I say, as i pull her in closer
Oct 13 20:57:24 <dimwit105>	She relaxes, and lets you hold her close, as the creature beneath you starts to stabilize after you patch its wounds.

Oct 16 08:00:02 *	Arios (~Thane_GER@x59cc824d.dyn.telefonica.de) has joined
Oct 16 08:01:12 <Arios>	I turn my attention to the creature on the ground
Oct 16 08:02:03 <dimwit105>	Its wiggling around, barely clinging on to life, apparently not ready to die yet, though it would have if you hadn't tended to its wounds
Oct 16 08:02:44 <Arios>	"Lets make sure that our friends survives" I say, doing my best to heal its worst wounds
Oct 16 08:03:31 <dimwit105>	"Its our friend?", the red bird asks, looking at the creature
Oct 16 08:03:53 <Arios>	"I'm not sure why i called it friend"
Oct 16 08:04:00 <Arios>	"But we should help it anyways"
Oct 16 08:04:26 <dimwit105>	"Will it help us?"
Oct 16 08:04:37 <Arios>	"I hope it will"
Oct 16 08:05:27 <Arios>	"there is only one way to find out though..." I say, continuing to cauterize its wounds
Oct 16 08:05:32 <dimwit105>	"And what if it do-", the red bird is interrupted by another screech, this one more hostile than the last
Oct 16 08:06:20 <Arios>	I gnace around, trying to find the screeches source, though I already feel like i know its source...
Oct 16 08:07:44 <dimwit105>	You look around, and in the foggy atmosphere, see a pair of reflective lights, heading straight towards you
Oct 16 08:09:30 <Arios>	I brace myself for an attack, trying to cover both my friend and the creature, though I do not go for a counter-attack
Oct 16 08:13:54 <dimwit105>	The pair of eyes rush towards you, closer and closer, before a jet black ragged-feathered bird pushes through the fog. It looks quite different from the black bird you saw earlier though, being smaller and having a rounder, less jagged silhouette. Once it passes the threshold of fog visibility, it spots you instantly, and its look of aggression changes to a look of confusion, as it continues towards you.
Oct 16 08:15:50 <Arios>	"Hey!" I caw towards the approaching bird, awaiting a response
Oct 16 08:16:39 <dimwit105>	The confusion is replaced with surprise, as it squawks back, and starts changing direction, turning its flight away from you
Oct 16 08:17:31 <Arios>	"Don't go! I don't mean to hurt you" I squawk, taking a step forward, away from my two companions
Oct 16 08:19:38 <dimwit105>	Either the bird hears you, or its extremely clumsy, as it lands without grace just outside the edge of the fog. It quickly gets to its feet, and you see its eyes watching you. "But its here to hurt us!", the red bird behind you protests, stepping up with you as not to be alone
Oct 16 08:21:11 <Arios>	"I don't think its the same. It looks ... different" I say to her. I then slowly make my way towards the new black bird
Oct 16 08:22:59 <Arios>	making sure not to scare it
Oct 16 08:24:19 <dimwit105>	Step by step, you get closer to the pair of eyes watching you. As you get closer, the bird gets more defensive, but it still lets you approach. You get a good look at it once its within the circle of fog, which reveals quite a few scratch marks along its chest, not unlike a talon scratch. These wounds are a few days old, judging by the lack of blood and the partial healing they already underwent.
Oct 16 08:26:59 <Arios>	"Hey. You can understand me?" I ask it in as calm of a voice as i can manage, given the situation
Oct 16 08:27:11 <Arios>	I also make sure that my female friend is around
Oct 16 08:28:12 <dimwit105>	The red phoenix trails behind you as you ask the question, which after a moment of silence, stutters a soft, yet scared, "Y-yes"
Oct 16 08:29:25 <Arios>	"We won't attack you." I say, calm but determined
Oct 16 08:29:40 <Arios>	"I want to know who you are though., Or rather, *what* you are"
Oct 16 08:29:58 <dimwit105>	"M-me t-too"
Oct 16 08:32:38 <Arios>	"What I am or what you are? I am a ... bird, I think. And so is my friend" After a short pause I add: "Are you alright?"
Oct 16 08:34:07 <dimwit105>	"Wh-what ar-are yo-you? Yo-you gl-glow like flo-floaties"

Oct 16 08:35:38 <Thane>	"I don't know exactly", while trying to figure out what he or she means with "floaties"
Oct 16 08:36:34 <dimwit105>	You think this bird means the things that float around making light, as those are the only things that really float
Oct 16 08:37:19 *	Arios has quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds)

Oct 16 08:38:23 *	Thane is now known as Arios
Oct 16 08:39:41 <Arios>	"I don't think we are 'floaties'. We are coming from a ... star ... I think"
Oct 16 08:39:45 <Arios>	"What about you?"
Oct 16 08:40:18 <dimwit105>	"A wh-what?"
Oct 16 08:41:53 <Arios>	"A ... star. The very bright things in the sky"
Oct 16 08:42:09 <Arios>	"They are yellow or orange, most of the time"
Oct 16 08:42:21 <Arios>	"but mine is more green"
Oct 16 08:43:15 <dimwit105>	"I ha-have ne-never se-een one, but...", The black bird pauses, and slowly steps forward, towards you and the red bird, revealing its serrated talons
Oct 16 08:44:30 <Arios>	"but?" I ask, wary of what it is doing
Oct 16 08:44:35 <dimwit105>	At this, you hear the red bird start to hyperventilate, getting more and more uncalm as the black bird approaches
Oct 16 08:45:56 <dimwit105>	"Th-this one... wh-whats wrong w-with it", it says, approaching the very uncomfortable red bird
Oct 16 08:47:16 <Arios>	"What do you mean? She is a bit scared of you I think"
Oct 16 08:48:21 <dimwit105>	"Sh-she l-looks.... f-familiar", it says, getting rather close to you now, but ignoring you in favor of watching the red phoenix begin to panic, as she starts backpedaling, and looking towards you with fearful eyes
Oct 16 08:49:06 <Arios>	"Get away from her" I say in a firm voice. "She is scared of you"
Oct 16 08:49:28 <Arios>	As i say that I move closer to the black bird, trying to position myself in somewhat of a position between the two
Oct 16 08:50:34 <dimwit105>	"Bu-but I ha-have do-done not-nothing!", it says, letting you interpose. "L-lies!", the red bird shouts, "Ke-e-ep it a-away!"
Oct 16 08:51:39 <Arios>	"You didnt, but someone else did"
Oct 16 08:51:54 <Arios>	"Someone that is looks very similar to you"
Oct 16 08:52:11 <Arios>	"so she is afraid. Please..." I say, as I look at the black bird
Oct 16 08:52:55 <dimwit105>	"I sw-swear, I-I ha-have s-seen he-her th-though... b-but wh-where?", the black bird says, poking its head around you to look at the red bird
Oct 16 08:54:32 <Arios>	"She has been fleeing from another black bird like you until she met me. Maybe you saw her back then?"
Oct 16 08:55:01 <dimwit105>	"Ano-another? Wh-where?"
Oct 16 08:57:20 <Arios>	"I don't know. Why do you ask? Why are you here anyways?"
Oct 16 08:59:15 <dimwit105>	"Y-you ask a-a lot of qu-questions - OOOoooooh, I kn-know wh-where I s-saw yo-you!", the bird suddenly says as it goes around you approaching the panicking red bird. All of her feathers are fluffed out as the black bird steps around you
Oct 16 09:01:52 <Arios>	"Stay away from her" I repeat myself. "..where did you see her?"
Oct 16 09:03:40 <dimwit105>	It ignores your command, and closes the distance towards the panicking phoenix, who is spreading her wings just a bit, in preparation for flight. "Sh-she comes by h-home, sh-she flew close, but sh-she flew clo-closer to b-brother"
Oct 16 09:07:02 <Arios>	I step between the two, pushing the black bird away from her. "Stay back! Please". I then pause for a few moments before mumbling "... Brother ... you are his brother..."
Oct 16 09:07:20 <Arios>	"Your brother has chased her all over the place, trying to kill her!"
Oct 16 09:07:28 <Arios>	"Can you see why she is scared of you now?"
Oct 16 09:07:38 <dimwit105>	"N-no?"
Oct 16 09:08:02 <Arios>	"He tries to kill her"
Oct 16 09:08:09 <Arios>	"To ... make her not be"
Oct 16 09:08:18 <Arios>	"And she has been fleeing from him"
Oct 16 09:08:21 <Arios>	"All the time"
Oct 16 09:08:24 <Arios>	"Until now"
Oct 16 09:08:54 <dimwit105>	"B-but wh-why do-does tha-that make her sc-scared of m-me?"
Oct 16 09:09:52 <Arios>	"Because ... she ... she is scared of black birds now. Just please, look at her ... stay away a bit"
Oct 16 09:10:04 <Arios>	I plead at the bird, really not wanting to use force
Oct 16 09:10:29 <dimwit105>	"B-but I ca-cant!"
Oct 16 09:11:38 <Arios>	"Why?" I ask, doing my best to keep it away from my friend
Oct 16 09:12:32 <dimwit105>	"Be-because if br-brother is a-after her, th-then I ne-need to st-stay cl-close, so I c-can be with b-brother again"
Oct 16 09:13:58 <Arios>	"You don't have to be that close. Just take a few steps back. Please. Or I will have to make you do it... I will help you to find your brother too. I promise". The desperation in my voice is clearly audible at this point
Oct 16 09:15:01 <dimwit105>	The black bird turns to you, much to the red birds relief. "You w-will help?", it asks, approaching you
Oct 16 09:15:54 <Arios>	"I will help you find brother, yes. But you will also have to help us"
Oct 16 09:16:07 <dimwit105>	"W-with wh-what?"
Oct 16 09:16:25 <Arios>	"With your brother. We want him to stop"
Oct 16 09:16:30 <Arios>	"To stop chasing her"
Oct 16 09:16:43 <Arios>	"In return, we will help you find him"
Oct 16 09:17:16 <dimwit105>	"O-one ca-cannot hap-happen wi-without the oth-other"
Oct 16 09:17:49 <Arios>	"So we have a deal?"
Oct 16 09:17:57 <Arios>	"Wonderful"
Oct 16 09:18:15 <dimwit105>	The bird stays quiet, and looks at you with its reflective eyes
Oct 16 09:18:24 <Arios>	"If I might ask, how did you get in this situation?"
Oct 16 09:19:02 <dimwit105>	"Th-the armed ones... they wi-will cl-claw you... do not trust"
Oct 16 09:21:03 <dimwit105>	It starts walking away from both you and the red bird
Oct 16 09:21:13 <Arios>	"Where are you going?"
Oct 16 09:21:43 <dimwit105>	"You t-told m-me t-to stay a-away"
Oct 16 09:22:00 <Arios>	"Oh, alright. Sorry"
Oct 16 09:22:46 <Arios>	"About the armed ones" I say, turning around, looking for the bird that i healed earlier
Oct 16 09:24:20 <dimwit105>	"O-oh y-yes, th-they wi-will claw y-you", the black bird says, as it takes off into the sky
Oct 16 09:24:46 <dimwit105>	meanwhile, the bird you healed is starting to sit up, or at least trying to
Oct 16 09:27:10 <Arios>	"Don't get tStay a few feet away from her, but don't get too far away or you will loose us too" I squawk in a more lighthearted tone. I then turn my attention to the red bird. "Are you ... alright?" I ask her. "You did well"
Oct 16 09:28:09 <dimwit105>	"Th-they look so similar", the red bird says as the black bird flies
Oct 16 09:29:06 <Arios>	"They are brothers"
Oct 16 09:29:14 <Arios>	"But we can help him. And he can help us"
Oct 16 09:29:24 <dimwit105>	"Wh-why would we help them?"
Oct 16 09:31:28 <Arios>	"Because he can help us"
Oct 16 09:31:43 <dimwit105>	"I dont trust either of them"
Oct 16 09:31:43 <Arios>	"If we cannot convice him to stop, maybe his brother can"
Oct 16 09:32:15 <Arios>	I lower my voice "I don't trust him either. But I don't think he will betray us. He is as scared as you are"
Oct 16 09:32:36 *	Arios has quit (Quit: Leaving)
Oct 17 08:40:11 *	Arios (~Thane_GER@p5B274892.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has joined
Oct 17 08:43:22 <dimwit105>	"They will get us while we sleep", she says, keeping her eyes in the direction of the black bird
Oct 17 08:45:09 <Arios>	"I do't think so. But we can take turns stayig awakw if that hepls"
Oct 17 08:45:18 <Arios>	"We don't really have a choice anyways"
Oct 17 08:47:26 <dimwit105>	The red bird stays quiet, obviously uncomfortable with this whole situation, but withholding any additional thoughts
Oct 17 08:49:14 <Arios>	"Hey, I'm not happy about this either. But things could turn out alright" I say, trying to comfort her before taking off
Oct 17 08:49:34 <Arios>	"Alright, what do you know about this place ... um, what should i call you?"
Oct 17 08:50:58 <Arios>	I say, as I fly slowly towards the black bird
Oct 17 08:54:26 <dimwit105>	The red bird doesnt follow you, as you take off, and catch up to the black bird. It flew a surprising distance away, given how short of a time it had. It responds with, "I-I ha-had a name, b-but I f-forgot it...", before it looks around, and starts flying as vertical as it can.
Oct 17 08:57:21 <Arios>	"I see. Well, we will make do.... Are you looking for something? Do you know anything about this place?" I say, while signaling my red friend to follow us
Oct 17 08:59:27 <dimwit105>	"B-b-brother... I a-am al-always l-looking f-for brother", it says as it ascends, though it ascends alone, as your red companion refuses to budge, staying away from the black bird
Oct 17 09:01:34 <Arios>	"When did you last see him? Also, we will have to fly" I ask
Oct 17 09:02:43 <Arios>	"When did you last see him? Also, we will have to wait for my companion before we keep going" I say, turning to the red bird again, signaling some urgency
Oct 17 09:05:57 <dimwit105>	"Long a-ago", the black bird says, as the red bird starts fading into the fog, disappearing as you follow the black bird
Oct 17 09:06:52 <Arios>	"We need to wait for a moment. I will be right back" I say, diving back down towards my friend
Oct 17 09:07:41 <Arios>	"What are you doing? Sitting here is not going to get us anywhere" I say to her
Oct 17 09:08:01 <dimwit105>	The black bird seems impatient, and continues flying on without you, as you land back with the red bird
Oct 17 09:08:41 <dimwit105>	"Going with that bird will only get us killed. Nowhere sounds like a better option to me"
Oct 17 09:10:14 <Arios>	"You have been going nowhere for all this time. If you wait here it will tell its brother where you are and it will come get you. And then everything will start again"
Oct 17 09:10:39 <Arios>	"We need to stop it, not flee"
Oct 17 09:11:26 <dimwit105>	"This will stop if I follow?"
Oct 17 09:13:11 <Arios>	"It won't stop if you stay here. It's only a matter of time"
Oct 17 09:13:29 <Arios>	"If you follow, there is a chance that it will stop. I can't promise that it will, but I will try my best"
Oct 17 09:13:36 <Arios>	"... You want this to stop, don't you?"
Oct 17 09:15:19 <dimwit105>	"This seems like a trap, they are working together, I can feel it"
Oct 17 09:16:39 <Arios>	"I want to know more about this place. My idea is to explore together with this bird. If it betrays us during that, it's our enemy then. But I don't think it will"
Oct 17 09:18:34 <dimwit105>	"It only needs a single moment to get us both killed, youre willing to take that chance?"
Oct 17 09:20:21 <Arios>	"We can fight back. And yes." I say, lifting off. "If you want to stay here, then so be it. I will explore this planet with the bird and then come back. I hope you are coming too"
Oct 17 09:20:35 <Arios>	And with that, I lift off towards where I last saw the black birx
Oct 17 09:23:21 <dimwit105>	The red bird watches you leave with cautious eyes. She disappears behind the fog as you rise up and up towards where you saw the black bird, though it seems to have moved on without you, not in the same spot it was in when you left
Oct 17 09:24:24 <Arios>	"Hey, where are you?" I screech, wondering why it went away. I try to spot it...
Oct 17 09:26:58 <dimwit105>	Up, high above you, you see something peculiar. Its a chunk of land, floating in the air, hovering there, with a jagged point beneath it. On the edge of this floating island, the black bird sits, watching you carefully
Oct 17 09:28:53 <Arios>	I hesitate for a moment, then decide to carefully approach the island, keeping a very close eye on the bird and the point as i ascend
Oct 17 09:30:00 <dimwit105>	It watches you, but doesnt move very much, other than occasionally cleaning its feathers, ripping out ones in poor condition, which fall down slowly, spinning around in the windless air
Oct 17 09:31:03 <Arios>	I move upwards until I reach the island, ocasionally looking around and below me, trying to see anything other than the mist
Oct 17 09:34:12 <dimwit105>	Far off, just outside of the mist, you think you can see a few of the armed birds flying around, though its unclear what theyre doing. In any case, you approach the island, where the bird is sitting. It silently watches you approach, not really moving or saying anything, just observing, almost studying
Oct 17 09:35:32 <Arios>	"She decided to stay behind for now. Do you want to ... talk for a bit? About this place? About how you got here?"
Oct 17 09:35:47 <Arios>	I say to the black bird as I approach the island
Oct 17 09:36:31 <dimwit105>	"A-ask wh-what y-you ne-need", it says, as it sits down, relaxing quite a bit
Oct 17 09:37:15 <Arios>	"You seemed ... scared. Afraid. Why?"
Oct 17 09:37:25 <Arios>	"Sureley not because of us two, right?"
Oct 17 09:38:56 <dimwit105>	"M-m-ight wa-want t-to s-sit d-down, i-its a b-bit of a l-long st-story"
Oct 17 09:39:35 <Arios>	I take a last long look around before sitting down next to the bird. "Go ahead"
Oct 17 09:45:47 <dimwit105>	"L-long a-ago, mo-mother told b-brother and I a-about the t-tasty gl-glowing birds, th-that th-they are d-delicious, b-but da-dangerous, a-and we sh-should st-stay aw-away. B-Brother w-wanted to l-leave, s-so he c-could f-find some, b-but he di-didnt need to, th-this bird came to him. H-He be-became ob-obsessed with t-the gl-glowing one, i-its all he th-thought a-about, he left me a-and his m-mother behind to ch-chase this...
Oct 17 09:45:47 <dimwit105>	th-thing. I d-dont kn-know h-how the red b-bird d-did it... b-but she c-consumed brothers m-mind."
Oct 17 09:48:06 <Arios>	"This ... thing. You mean the red bird?"
Oct 17 09:49:31 <dimwit105>	"Y-yes"
Oct 17 09:50:07 <Arios>	"This is ... wow. Do you want to hear her side of the story?"
Oct 17 09:51:43 <dimwit105>	"I-It is irr-irrelevant"
Oct 17 09:52:34 <Arios>	"Why?"
Oct 17 09:53:42 <dimwit105>	"Be-because bro-brother is g-gone, h-her st-story wo-wont fix th-that"
Oct 17 09:54:04 <dimwit105>	The bird seems on the verge of tears, but at the same time holds anger in its voice
Oct 17 09:56:43 <Arios>	I move closer to him. "I ... I understand. And no, brother isn't gone. He has been chasing her ever since she flew too close to your home. She is scared of him, very scared. I had to fight him once, but I am sure he will return"
Oct 17 09:57:43 <Arios>	"She didn't want him to do this. She is so afrad, so scared. She didn't manipulate your brother"
Oct 17 09:57:47 <Arios>	"Why would she?"
Oct 17 09:58:58 <Arios>	"I will help you get brother back"
Oct 17 09:59:02 <Arios>	"I promise"
Oct 17 09:59:27 <dimwit105>	The bird lowers its head, and quietly whispers "...what can you understand?... he is gone... gone and will never return..."
Oct 17 10:03:27 <Arios>	I move closer: "I am not sure I do understand everything. But I will do what I can. I will try to hlep you and brother and I will try to help her. That is all I can do for now"
Oct 17 10:05:53 <dimwit105>	"...all that remains... is his empty shell... he used to be so much... but now?... so little"
Oct 17 10:07:06 <Arios>	"He has been hunting ... her ... forever ... all this time"
Oct 17 10:07:23 <Arios>	"He is obsessed with her. And she want's him gone"
Oct 17 10:08:39 <dimwit105>	"he is gone"
Oct 17 10:09:27 <Arios>	I pause
Oct 17 10:09:38 <Arios>	" ... So, what can we do?"
Oct 17 10:11:46 <dimwit105>	"put him into a sleep... one he wont wake up from... where he can dream in peace"
Oct 17 10:14:09 <Arios>	"How ... would we do ... that?"
Oct 17 10:15:52 <dimwit105>	The bird stays quiet, as a single tear rolls down the side of its face, scowling at the same time
Oct 17 10:18:48 <Arios>	I just sit there, not sure if I should try to comfort it or not. Eventually I just decide to stay close, but not too close
Oct 17 10:21:01 <dimwit105>	It doesnt seem interested in moving, simply sitting here with its feelings
Oct 17 10:23:16 <Arios>	Eventually, I just ask: "Do you want ... to stay for a bit? Or do you want to go?"
Oct 17 10:25:06 <dimwit105>	"I... I...", the bird starts, but never finishes. It stands up, and starts walking away from you, one step at a time
Oct 17 10:25:59 <Arios>	I stand up and follow it, but at a distance
Oct 17 10:26:10 <Arios>	"Take your time" I say, in a calm voice
Oct 17 10:29:26 <dimwit105>	It keeps walking, not saying anything, simply walking with its head hanging low, leaving behind a trail of tears
Oct 17 10:29:47 *	Arios has quit (Quit: Leaving)
Oct 19 08:03:01 *	Arios (~Thane_GER@p5B275C99.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has joined
Oct 19 08:04:36 <Arios>	I feel empathetic for the poor guy and decide to appoach him. I pull myself close to him, hoping that i can lessen his pain at least somewhat
Oct 19 08:06:48 <dimwit105>	As you get closer, he stops moving, but tears still run down his face, as he viciously breathes with anger
Oct 19 08:08:48 <Arios>	I approach him cautiously, making it clear that i am trying to comfort him
Oct 19 08:11:32 <dimwit105>	The black bird is staring at the ground in front of it, breathing louder as you approach it, as well as tensing its serrated talons, crushing a bit of the ground below. Its reflective eyes dart towards yours, scowled, yet teared, watching your every movement with great care
Oct 19 08:15:58 <Arios>	I halt, not approaching him any closer - I simply look at him. Then, I repspon in a calm voice: "Hey, i'm trying to help you. I'll do what I can"
Oct 19 08:16:11 <Arios>	respond*
Oct 19 08:18:11 <dimwit105>	The bird looks back at you, and in its stuttery, yet angry voice says, "Y-y-youre t-th-the ones th-that d-did th-this t-to him! W-why wo-would you h-help?"
Oct 19 08:20:00 <Arios>	"We didn't do this - we didn't even want to. I just want to help the both of you" I say, trying to maintain my calm voice
Oct 19 08:22:11 <dimwit105>	"Y-y-youre s-sick! I-Is-isnt it e-enough y-you t-took my br-brother? N-now you want t-to see h-him s-suffer?!", The bird says, raising its voice
Oct 19 08:24:09 <Arios>	"No! I don't want to see him suffer. I am doing this because I want to end my friends suffering! If I can end your brother suffering at the same time that is even better" I say, slighty more agitated than before.
Oct 19 08:24:32 <Arios>	"If we can get your brother back, then I will promise that I will do everything I can to make it possible" I say, calming down again
Oct 19 08:24:58 <Arios>	"I want to help you and your brother. And my friend"
Oct 19 08:26:45 <dimwit105>	"P-pro-prove it", The bird says, standing up completely, and looking you right in the eyes
Oct 19 08:28:51 <Arios>	'Fuck it, I think to myself' and leap at him, embracing him with my wings in the most comforting way that I can manage
Oct 19 08:32:40 <dimwit105>	The bird squawks, and charges at you as you leap, bearing his beak up front. His charge runs into yours, and his beak pierces right through one of your eyes, completely destroying it as he powers right through the soft tissue
Oct 19 08:35:15 <Arios>	"Aaargh!, what the hell? I wasnt going to attack" I squawk as I back away. "I wanted to help you!"
Oct 19 08:37:57 <dimwit105>	The bird quickly goes from angry and afraid, to a shocked guilt. It looks at your remaining eye, and says, "H-How w-was I su-supposed t-to kn-know?"
Oct 19 08:39:45 <Arios>	"I ... I .... I don't know", I say, clearly in pain from my mising eye. "I have should told you. Ow. My bad" I scre, keeping myself together.
Oct 19 08:40:09 <Arios>	"I ... wanted to give you a hug." I say, getting back up on my feet
Oct 19 08:41:39 <dimwit105>	The black bird looks even guiltier, approaches you on its own, and spreads its wings to give you a hug
Oct 19 08:45:46 <Arios>	I approach it and gladly take the hug. "That's more l-like it. Ow" I say, still in somewhat of a pain from the missing eye, but much happier
Oct 19 08:47:55 <dimwit105>	"S-sorry", it says, as it genuinely embraces you, "I- co-couldn't kn-know"
Oct 19 08:49:33 <Arios>	"It's okay" I say, enjoying the hug. "There is no way you could" I add, while slowly winding myself out of its wings. I open my own wings "Alright, now it's your turn"
Oct 19 08:50:43 <dimwit105>	The bird tilts its head just a bit to the left, and waits for what he knows is coming
Oct 19 08:53:37 <Arios>	I fully embrace him with a long and sincere hug
Oct 19 08:54:29 <dimwit105>	The bird accepts the hug, and quietly whispers in your ear, "...promise?"
Oct 19 08:56:05 <Arios>	"Promise. " I say, increasing my grip. After some moments of silence I add: "By the way, you have good aim - pecked my eye right out"
Oct 19 08:56:13 <Arios>	"Impressive"
Oct 19 08:57:45 <dimwit105>	The bird remains quiet, but it lets out a low purr, and nestles its head against your body
Oct 19 08:59:21 <Arios>	I enjoy the feeling of its head rubbing against my feathers. I keep hugging him, glad the he has a moment of peace
Oct 19 09:00:59 <dimwit105>	"S-sorry y-you w-wont see from th-there anymore..."
Oct 19 09:01:44 <Arios>	"It's alright" I say. "It will heal. Will just take a couple of days"
Oct 19 09:02:38 <Arios>	"Don't worry about it"
Oct 19 09:03:07 <dimwit105>	The bird starts pulling back from your hug, saying, "W-we ha-have work t-to do"
Oct 19 09:05:27 <Arios>	"We do" I say. "What do you think we should do first? Find him?"
Oct 19 09:06:46 <dimwit105>	"N-no... h-he will f-find u-us", the bird says, withdrawing from your hug, licking the blood of your eye off of its beak
Oct 19 09:07:27 <Arios>	"Or rather, it will find her, right?" I reply, suddenly much less calm than I was before
Oct 19 09:08:04 <dimwit105>	The bird sighs, and says, "Yes... i-its a-all he c-can th-think about..."
Oct 19 09:08:53 <Arios>	"We should see if she is alright" I answer, before quickly leaping off the island, down to where I last saw her
Oct 19 09:09:20 <Arios>	"I'm worried"
Oct 19 09:09:54 <dimwit105>	"I-Ill m-meet up wi-with y-you l-later", the black bird says, as you leap off the island, towards the ground below
Oct 19 09:11:02 <Arios>	I hesitate mid-air for a moment: "If ... if you're sure? You can just follow me. I'll wait down below"
Oct 19 09:11:30 <Arios>	And with that, I descend towards where I left my friend, keeping an literal eye out for anything seeming different.....
Oct 19 09:13:48 <dimwit105>	You descend towards where your friend was, but dont see anything, not even your friend. She moved somewhere, though its not obvious where
Oct 19 09:14:38 <Arios>	I decide to investigate further, looking for any sources of her remainder....
Oct 19 09:15:39 <Arios>	*for any clues about her whereabouts
Oct 19 09:16:00 <dimwit105>	You look, but can't see any evidence of where she may have gone
Oct 19 09:19:46 <Arios>	"Hey! Where are you?" I squawk into the mist, waiting for an answer. In the meamtime, I ascend back to the island to inform my new friend about her going missing
Oct 19 09:20:52 <dimwit105>	"Youre okay!", you hear a familar voice shout from below, "I was worried it got you"
Oct 19 09:24:26 <Arios>	"Oh hey, there you are" I say, descending towards the all-to familiar voice. "I didn't see you"
Oct 19 09:25:21 <dimwit105>	The voice is behind a hill, quite a distance away. A red phoenix rises from behind it to look at you, previously hiding behind said hill
Oct 19 09:25:42 <dimwit105>	"I heard screams", she says, watching you
Oct 19 09:26:28 <Arios>	"Don't worry, I am alright" I say, the relief being clearly audible in my voice. "I talked to our new friend and I think we have a plan"
Oct 19 09:26:40 <Arios>	"Did ... you notice anything out of the ordinary?"
Oct 19 09:26:44 <dimwit105>	"Friend? Its our friend now?"
Oct 19 09:28:57 <Arios>	"I don't know what to call it. But its not our enemy. It's on our side"
Oct 19 09:30:00 <dimwit105>	"Youre joking"
Oct 19 09:30:30 <Arios>	"Why would I?"
Oct 19 09:30:42 <Arios>	"Do you want me to ... explain?"
Oct 19 09:31:45 <dimwit105>	"Sure", she says, as she takes off, and flies beside you
Oct 19 09:36:19 <Arios>	I slowly start to my back to the island. "So, this bird is the brother of the one that has been following you for all this time. But it's nothing like it. At all. He thinks that his brother is obsessed with you, or your core. But he used to be different - better, in a way. And he wants his old brother back, like how he was before he encountered you. I think we should try to help him"
Oct 19 09:36:36 <Arios>	"Because if we help him getting his old brother back, he might stop chasing you too"
Oct 19 09:37:39 <dimwit105>	"How do you know this isnt an elaborate trap?"
Oct 19 09:40:37 <Arios>	"It's not. I can feel it. Do you see my eye? We had a small fight and he backed away as soon as i screamed out in pain. He didn't want to hurt me"
Oct 19 09:40:45 <Arios>	"Besides, it's our best option"
Oct 19 09:41:23 <Arios>	"You are what his brother is after. So he will come for you. Until then, we need to have a plan"
Oct 19 09:42:57 <dimwit105>	The bird flies to your other side, where you have trouble seeing it, missing an eye on that side. "Wh-whaat!? What happened?!", she exclaims
Oct 19 09:43:17 <Arios>	"That was my fault" I say quickly
Oct 19 09:43:53 <Arios>	"I told him that I would do everything to help. He was crying and angry. So I wanted to give him a hug but didn't warn him."
Oct 19 09:44:11 <Arios>	"But as soon as he saw what he did he backed away, sorry about what he did"
Oct 19 09:44:24 <Arios>	"I then hugged him after telling him"
Oct 19 09:44:34 <dimwit105>	"I... I dont believe you"
Oct 19 09:45:16 <Arios>	"Why would I lie to you?"
Oct 19 09:45:22 <Arios>	"You can ask him too if you want"
Oct 19 09:46:17 <dimwit105>	"...fine, lets go ask him"
Oct 19 09:47:47 <Arios>	"Look, I know you don't trust them. You have every reason to. But I think this is our best chance. And I believe that he really wants us to help"
Oct 19 09:47:54 <Arios>	"Not everything is a trap"
Oct 19 09:49:44 <dimwit105>	"Lets go see"
Oct 19 09:50:19 <Arios>	"Yes. Let's go" I say, increasing my flight speed, still heading for the island
Oct 19 09:50:53 <Arios>	"Also, you might want to look around for me until my eye is healed again. It is kind of difficult to see"
Oct 19 09:52:19 <dimwit105>	The red bird grunts in response, flying alongside you. The pair of you head up towards the flying island, which impresses the red bird, or at least you assume shes impressed by the sounds of her gasps. These are short-lived, before you hear her say, "I see... it"
Oct 19 09:53:35 <Arios>	"Hey, we are coming!" I scree at the bird, flying upwards towards the edge
Oct 19 09:53:58 <Arios>	"Are you ok with meeting him?" I whisper towards the red bird
Oct 19 09:54:50 <dimwit105>	"Stay between us", she says, as the two of you fly towards the edge, which holds the black bird, cleaning its serrations on its talons
Oct 19 09:56:41 <Arios>	"I will try to. Land behind me" I say, while starting to land
Oct 19 09:58:51 <dimwit105>	You land on the edge, to the right of the black bird, as the red one lands behind you. The black bird gives you a brief look, before returning to cleaning
Oct 19 09:59:14 <dimwit105>	You hear a small hiss come from the red bird behind you, as she watches in disgust
Oct 19 10:00:17 <Arios>	"Are you ... cleaning yourself?" I ask it, curious, albeit slighly repulsed
Oct 19 10:00:37 <Arios>	"My friend would like it if I stayed between you two. I hope that is alright"
Oct 19 10:02:03 <dimwit105>	The black bird looks at you, and says, "T-talons ne-need to s-stay sh-sharp, and f-feathers need t-to st-stay str-straight". It readjusts its feathers a bit, before returning to its talons. "Wh-whats w-wrong wi-with tha-that?"
Oct 19 10:04:07 <Arios>	"Oh, nothing. I was just wondering" I say, mustering it with curiosity.
Oct 19 10:04:21 <Arios>	"... Do you any idea what we could do once he gets here?"
Oct 19 10:06:11 <dimwit105>	"W-we put h-him to sl-sleep", the bird says, finishing up one talon, before walking closer to you
Oct 19 10:07:50 <dimwit105>	You hear the red birds breathing increase, as she steps backwards a bit
Oct 19 10:08:59 <Arios>	"Maybe there is another way to do it. It seems ... extreme" I say, before lowering my voice and moving forward. "Please stay away from her, she gets unfomfortable easily. She is afraid of your brother and you look similar"
Oct 19 10:11:01 <dimwit105>	"I-it is th-the on-only way.... b-but th-this red one... h-how c-can I g-get cl-closer?"
Oct 19 10:13:36 <Arios>	"No. you can't" I say, spreading my wings in front of her somewhat, "at least not right now. Do you see how nervous she is? Why would you want to?"
Oct 19 10:14:49 <dimwit105>	"Sh-she l-looks li-like she n-needs a h-hug"
Oct 19 10:16:39 <Arios>	I turn around to my friend. "Do you want to?", not really expecting an yes as an answer
Oct 19 10:17:12 <dimwit105>	she quickly shakes her head, backpedaling, putting some more distance between the two
Oct 19 10:18:49 <Arios>	I turn around again, looking at the black bird: "But thanks for offering it. Just ... leave her to me for now. Is that ok?" I ask, looking at its eyes
Oct 19 10:20:10 <dimwit105>	"Hmm... o-okay...", it says, looking back at you. It sits down in front of you, and lets out a yawn, before wiggling side to side, getting comfortable
Oct 19 10:21:42 <Arios>	I relax visibly, reliefed that he is feeling better. "Alright, let's work this out..."
Oct 19 10:22:18 *	Arios has quit (Quit: Leaving)
**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Oct 24 08:06:43 2017

Oct 24 08:06:43 *	Now talking on #sidebirb
Oct 24 08:08:39 <Arios>	"Tell me, what do you know about your brother?" I ask the black bird
Oct 24 08:10:04 <dimwit105>	"H-He is m-my br-brother!", The black bird says, "I-I h-have kn-known h-him since w-we ha-hatched"
Oct 24 08:11:21 <Arios>	"So ... you haven't seen him since he left?" I ask, more curious than sincere
Oct 24 08:12:52 <dimwit105>	"M-mo-mostly, no"
Oct 24 08:14:36 <Arios>	"Mostly?" I ask, as I look directly at it, clearly intruiged
Oct 24 08:15:21 <dimwit105>	"I-I ha-have been ch-chasing f-for some t-time now... s-sometimes I c-catch h-im... b-but only f-for a mo-moment"
Oct 24 08:17:07 <Arios>	"Did you manage to talk to him?"
Oct 24 08:17:44 <dimwit105>	The bird hesitates for a second, then quietly says, "...sometimes"
Oct 24 08:20:55 <Arios>	After pausing for a moment I ask: "How .... how is he? Not how he ... used to be?"
Oct 24 08:22:33 <dimwit105>	"H-he.... h-holds ha-hatred in h-his h-heart...", the bird says, after a few seconds of silence, observing the ground in front of him
Oct 24 08:24:01 <Arios>	"Hatred - against ... whom? against her? Why?" I ask myself out loud
Oct 24 08:24:51 <dimwit105>	"A-against th-the ones h-he used t-to love..."
Oct 24 08:26:17 <Arios>	I stop questioning him and look at his eyes. I feel sorry for him and it shows in my expression
Oct 24 08:27:46 <dimwit105>	Hes not even looking at you, just the ground beneath him. His head hangs low as he lets out a sigh, resting his head on the ground
Oct 24 08:29:21 <Arios>	I move *a little* closer and decide to sit down as well. My eyesocket still hurts and my brain is not perfectly clear either.
Oct 24 08:29:38 <Arios>	After a pause I say: "Maybe we should just ... rest for a bit"
Oct 24 08:33:47 <dimwit105>	The bird stays quiet, but moves its head to look at you. Its reflective eyes show a bit of your own face, minus one eye. Its eyes are full of tears, which only adds to their natural reflectivity. The bird holds this for a few moments, before putting its head back where it was
Oct 24 08:36:11 <Arios>	My empathy gets the better of me again, as I go ahead and give him another hug, making sure that my intentions are clear from the beginnning this time.
Oct 24 08:37:33 <dimwit105>	The bird puts up no resistence at all, hardly even looking at you, as you wrap your wing around its shaking body. It doesnt react at all, and simply lets you hug it
Oct 24 08:42:02 <Arios>	I simply sit there, the black bird sitting below my wing. In an attempt to comfort it a little, I tilt my head low, towards its body
Oct 24 08:44:42 <dimwit105>	The red bird approaches you, stands beside you, and watches the black bird beneath your wing, with a face of disgust and disbelief
Oct 24 08:45:54 <Arios>	Not even really noticing her sudden appearance, I ignore her and try to comfort the black bird as well as I can
Oct 24 08:48:07 <dimwit105>	The black bird is well on its way to sleep, breathing slower every second, though still shaking
Oct 24 08:48:51 <dimwit105>	The red bird steps away, clearly frustrated at whats going on, as she almost stomps with every step
Oct 24 08:50:33 <Arios>	I ignore her, almost protecting the black bird from her, in a way
Oct 24 08:50:57 <dimwit105>	She moves off into the fog, as the black bird begins its slumber
Oct 24 08:52:53 <Arios>	"Hey" I whisper, trying not to wake the black bird, "I think he is almost asleep. Wait"
Oct 24 08:53:27 <dimwit105>	You dont hear a response, as the black bird continues to sleep
Oct 24 08:55:09 <Arios>	I carefully remove my wings from the black bird, making sure not to wake it. Then, I hastily move into her direction, again whispering "Hey, wait!"
Oct 24 08:56:33 <dimwit105>	You depart from the sleeping black bird, approaching the red one in the fog, who stops at your voice, but doesnt turn around
Oct 24 08:58:28 <Arios>	I stand beside her, as I ask "Are you alrigt?"
Oct 24 08:59:35 <dimwit105>	"That... thing, its going to get us both killed"
Oct 24 09:02:54 <Arios>	I look back at the now sleeping bird. "Why? Just because he is his brother? I don't think so"
Oct 24 09:04:25 <dimwit105>	"They are the same... thing. I can feel it, he will come after us too, I just know it"
Oct 24 09:07:36 <Arios>	"The same thing yes. But I'm not so sure. We are different too. And I feel something ... different. I feel sorry for him"
Oct 24 09:07:51 <Arios>	"He ... sounds sincere. I feel it. He isn't trying to trick us"
Oct 24 09:08:16 <dimwit105>	"I bet youre not his first"
Oct 24 09:09:37 <Arios>	"You think so?"
Oct 24 09:10:49 <dimwit105>	"Im sure of it. Sooner or later, hes gonna dig into you, just like the other one said he would do to me"
Oct 24 09:12:09 <Arios>	"I don't think he will. I think he just wants his brother back." After a short pause I add: "But I guess it can't hurt if you stay careful"
Oct 24 09:12:41 <Arios>	"But, just ... just because one of them is hunting you does not mean that they are all monsters"
Oct 24 09:13:09 <dimwit105>	"You have a lot of work to do if you want to prove that"
Oct 24 09:13:53 <Arios>	"Yea. Until I can, please keep an eye out. It's not like I could right now anyways" I add, in an attempt of dry humour
Oct 24 09:15:45 <dimwit105>	"Theres more pain with this bird
Oct 24 09:16:21 <Arios>	"What?"
Oct 24 09:16:40 <dimwit105>	"Your eye is just the beginning"
Oct 24 09:17:59 <Arios>	"The eye was my fault. And it will heal." I pause for a moment: "You want to get rid of your attacker, don't you?"
Oct 24 09:18:43 <dimwit105>	The red bird finally turns around, looks at you, and says, "Of course"
Oct 24 09:20:07 <Arios>	"Well, he is the best clue we have right now. What if he speaks the truth? What if there is a way? We won't find out if we leave him. And I won't leave him anyways. At least not now"
Oct 24 09:20:30 <dimwit105>	"Ill not have anything to do with him"
Oct 24 09:23:09 <Arios>	"I will talk to him. Just ... let him be, please"
Oct 24 09:23:17 <Arios>	"At least until we know him better."
Oct 24 09:25:04 <dimwit105>	"Fine, but I dont want to be near him"
Oct 24 09:26:34 <Arios>	"... I don't think it got that yet. I will try to .. *yawn* .. talk to him" I say, as a sudden surge of tiredness overcomes me. "But I can't promise anything"
Oct 24 09:28:05 <dimwit105>	"I will be here", she says, sitting down, "I will do my best not to move from here, just out of sight of that... thing"
Oct 24 09:29:59 <Arios>	"It's a bird too. Just ... different" I say, some weight in my voice, before yawnin again. "I really need to sleep. Can you watch over us for a bit while I sleep?"
Oct 24 09:31:41 <dimwit105>	"Both of you?"
Oct 24 09:33:17 <Arios>	"Me, and, if you can, him. You don't have to stay close to him, just *yaaawm* keep him ... in your field of view. Is that alright?"
Oct 24 09:33:55 <dimwit105>	"Fine, but ill be watching him for myself, not him"
Oct 24 09:35:27 <Arios>	"That's ... alright" I say, while I try to make myself comfortable on the ground in front of her feet. "Just wake me if you want to sleep, ok?"
Oct 24 09:35:44 <Arios>	With that, I am ready to drift into sleep, only waiting for her final response
Oct 24 09:36:18 <dimwit105>	"I wont be able to sleep near this bird", she says, as she approaches you
Oct 24 09:37:35 <Arios>	"I will watch over you then. But I need some rest first"
Oct 24 09:38:03 <dimwit105>	"Go on, get some", she says, as she gets close to you
Oct 24 09:41:08 <Arios>	"Are you sure?" I ask, not sure what to make of what she just said
Oct 24 09:42:10 <dimwit105>	"Yeah, go for it", she says, looking at you. "Sleep a bit, its been a while"
Oct 24 09:43:38 <Arios>	"Alright, but promise me that you won't do anything the the black bird while I sleep. Alright? If anything happens, just wake me up. We can do this together"
Oct 24 09:43:47 <Arios>	*to the
Oct 24 09:44:50 <dimwit105>	"Fine. I wont touch the black one while youre asleep, ill wait for you to wake up before I do it"
Oct 24 09:50:34 <Arios>	That second sentence wakes me up immideately. I get up and stand in front of her, saying: "You will not touch him while I am with you. Period. Unless he betrays us, of course, which he won't. If you do, I'll leave you to your fate"
Oct 24 09:50:41 <Arios>	"Did I make myself clear?"
Oct 24 09:51:49 <dimwit105>	"Im already left to my fate, its just a decision of which one gets me"
Oct 24 09:52:47 <Arios>	"Please ... just promise me. I want to help you, but I also want to help him."
Oct 24 09:54:19 <dimwit105>	"Helping one hurts the other, sooner or later"
Oct 24 09:55:57 <Arios>	"Maybe" I say, reluctantly. "But I want to sleep sound right now. Please don't let me wake up to any bad suprises, alright?" With that, I sit down again, curl up into a feathery ball and attempt to fall asleep
Oct 24 09:57:07 <dimwit105>	The red bird sighs, and says, "Ill do my best." She sits down next to you, remaining vigilant as you drift off to sleep
Oct 24 09:58:33 <Arios>	Content with that answer, I drift off to slee
Oct 24 09:58:34 <Arios>	p
Oct 24 10:02:18 <dimwit105>	A quiet and restful sleep follows, until it peacefully comes to an end as you feel a beak tap yours, shaking your head just a bit. The shake is barely enough to wake you up, still groggy with sleep
Oct 24 10:09:12 <Arios>	As I wake up, I try to open my eyes, before realizing that I only have one. I then proceed to open my remaning eye, looking around as I get up. I yawn, then ask "How long have I been sleeping?"
Oct 24 10:10:27 <dimwit105>	"Y-y-youre al-alive!", you hear a familiar voice say, as you open your eye to see the black bird pecking your beak
Oct 24 10:12:03 <Arios>	"Where ... where is my friend?" I ask the black bird, suprised by its appearance. I clearly expected someone else
Oct 24 10:12:56 <dimwit105>	"Th-the r-red one?"
Oct 24 10:14:37 <Arios>	"Yes!" I say, now up and looking around. I try to spot her with my remaining eye, with some ammount of panic in my movements
Oct 24 10:15:51 <dimwit105>	You look around, not seeing any evidence of the red fluffy firebird
Oct 24 10:16:30 <dimwit105>	"Sh-she fl-flew off wh-when I w-woke up,  I-I d-dont know wh-why"
Oct 24 10:16:55 <Arios>	"Which direction?" I ask hastily. "And how long ago?"
Oct 24 10:18:28 <dimwit105>	"I-Its b-been a f-few hours", the black bird says, as it points its head towards the edge of the island, "S-som-somewh-where over th-there"
Oct 24 10:20:28 <Arios>	"You should have waken me!" I say. "I need to find her. Stay here! Or wait, no, actually, come with me - just stay behind a bit" The haste and panic in my voice is cleary audible
Oct 24 10:21:27 <dimwit105>	"I t-tried! B-but y-you wou-wouldnt w-wake!"

Oct 25 05:07:12 *	Now talking on #sidebirb
Oct 25 05:07:35 *	dimwit105 has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
Oct 27 18:38:31 *	Arios (~Thane_GER@p5B2748CF.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has joined
Oct 27 18:43:12 <Arios>	I hastily run towards the edge, almost taking off while still on land. "Let's go!" I shout to my black friend as I start diving down, looking for any trace of her
Oct 27 18:46:30 <blaxout1213>	You take off diving below the floating chunk of land. While searching with your one good eye, you see a red feather. This feather is at the mouth of quite a large cave, which burrows into the island you took off of. This cave is also populated with the other creatures, the winged ones with arms. You only see a few from here, but there is clear evidence of more inside
Oct 27 18:48:11 <Arios>	I start moving towards the cave, not stopping for a second. "She must be inside there" I say, excited and scared at the same time, as I make my way towards the cave mouth
Oct 27 18:49:00 <blaxout1213>	"Th-those wi-winged o-ones, th-they w-will hu-hurt us!", the Nox says behind you, as he follows
Oct 27 18:50:58 <Arios>	"Do you think they hurt her too?" I say, still approaching the cave mouth, albeit at a slightly slower pace
Oct 27 18:51:09 <blaxout1213>	"Y-Yes!"
Oct 27 18:51:27 <blaxout1213>	"Th-they a-are ev-evil!"
Oct 27 18:52:01 <Arios>	"Then we need to save her!" I screech, almost at the cave mouth now
Oct 27 18:53:02 <blaxout1213>	At this point, you are much closer to the cave, and the 4 winged ones out here stand up, and look at the pair of proper birds approaching it
Oct 27 18:53:36 <blaxout1213>	They scramble around, picking up some nearby pointy sticks, which you assume they will use as weapons
Oct 27 18:54:45 <Arios>	I don't hesitate for long and go for the rightmost one, attempting to rip the weapon out of its hands
Oct 27 18:57:43 <blaxout1213>	The bird you attack fights with you for control of its weapon, ultimately winning, pushing you away as you are stabbed at by his 3 allies
Oct 27 19:00:21 <blaxout1213>	You are stabbed by 3 spears, which penetrate your skin, spilling your blood, as the nox behind you looks uneasy, but engages nonetheless, attacking the bird you attacked, landing a solid hit on it, though it dodges the majority of the damage
Oct 27 19:03:54 <Arios>	I continue to attack the same creature as before. In an attempt to deal as much damage as I can I aim my talons for its head
Oct 27 19:09:31 <blaxout1213>	Despite the creatures attempt to dodge, you manage to slash the top of its head with your talons. It lets out a rough squawk, ducks beneath you, and thrusts its spear upwards, along with one of its allies, while the other two attack the nox. All four attacks happen with great success, hitting both you and the nox hard, which lets out a squawk as his blood is drawn. He retaliates against the one that hit him, only barely
Oct 27 19:09:31 <blaxout1213>	scratching it, but drawing lots of blood nonetheless
Oct 27 19:13:56 <Arios>	I change my target to one of the creatures attacking my nox friend, aiming for the spear, hoping that I can use it against it
Oct 27 19:19:02 <blaxout1213>	You try to grab its spear, but it dodges that, only allowing you to scratch it just a bit. It changes its attention to you, making three spears thrust in your direction. Two of them look like they are about to hit, before a stray spear coming from a horrible swing clangs with one of them, sending two spears down to the floor of the cave. Only one reaches you, and manages to scratch you. The remaining one swings at the nox and
Oct 27 19:19:02 <blaxout1213>	misses, as he swipes at his original target, cutting deep into it.
Oct 27 19:24:04 <Arios>	"I neeed to go back!" I screech, before diving back out the entrace. Once there, I turn around, about to reay myself for another attack flight, when I remember something: I focus my mind on my inner fire, summoning a sphere of orange-yellow fire in front of my chest, before it sending it at one of the creatures currently attacking my Nox friend, carefully aiming the projectle as to not hit my friend by accident
Oct 27 19:29:46 <blaxout1213>	You summon a fireball, and slam it into one of the bird creatures. It deals massive damage, as the creature's flesh chars and burns. Its on the verge of death as it rolls around on the cave floor, extinguishing the fire. In the meantime, however, the remaining three swing at the nox, only two hitting. The nox lands next to the burnt bird, and impales his beak straight into its chest, finishing it off.
Oct 27 19:31:21 <Arios>	"Keep going!" I scream while preparing a second attack, aiming it at the most distant creature from my friend
Oct 27 19:36:24 <blaxout1213>	You hit one with another fireball, though dont manage to put it down. It looks at you, squawks, and rushes at you with a spear, thrusting it into your chest, further diminishing your condition. The other two creatures continue working on the nox, cutting into him, and drawing more of his blood. He squawks in obvious pain, but presses onwards, slashing at the only creature holding a spear left. His attack goes horribly wrong,
Oct 27 19:36:24 <blaxout1213>	as the bird grabs his talons, and throws him below the island, leaving him in an uncoordinated freefall.
Oct 27 19:38:16 <Arios>	I look down with great fear as I see my friend falling towards the solid ground; after hesitating for a short second I dive off the island, trying to catch up to him and get his fall under control
Oct 27 19:41:32 <blaxout1213>	You get down to him, and help him transform his useless flailing into a controlled flight, but the bird creatures are in pursuit. They arent as fast as a diving phoenix, and cant quite get up to you, but they are close, a measly 10 meters away
Oct 27 19:43:32 <Arios>	I fire yet another fireball at the creatures chasing me, while trying to put myself between them and the nox
Oct 27 19:48:27 <blaxout1213>	The fireball barely grazes the bird, but even then it still seems quite injured. This doesnt stop it, or its allies from charging at you and stabbing their spears into your already wounded chest. At this, your wounds win, and your flight stops being flight, and instead turns into fall, spears still stuck in your chest as you no longer have the strength to maintain flight. The nox lets out a very surprised squawk, as he watches
Oct 27 19:48:27 <blaxout1213>	you fall through the air
Oct 27 19:52:01 <Arios>	Having never experienced anything like this, I try to brace myself for the impact as best as I can, while looking at my friend, my expression showing suprise and fear at the same time
Oct 27 19:55:35 <blaxout1213>	He dives down towards you, as you plummett towards the sea below. He cant keep up with your freefall, as he disappears in the fog above. After what feels like a whole minute of falling, you splashdown hard into the cold sea, which doesnt help your condition at all. Your vision loses its color as you impact, and fall beneath the liquid, before you slowly rise to the top, floating atop the liquid, incapacitated by your wounds
Oct 27 19:57:23 <Arios>	"I'm on top of the water" I squeak, as loud as i can manage, given the awful condition that my body is in right now. "Get rid of them and help me" I add, with an already weakening voice
Oct 27 20:01:35 <blaxout1213>	In less than a minute, the nox comes appears from the fog above, diving as fast as he can. He slows down significantly just before he splashes down next to you, sending waves in the water, which force you to bob up and down. He quickly swims over to you, panicking the whole way. He quickly looks over you, and asks, almost shouting, "Wh-what d-d-do I d-do?"
Oct 27 20:03:34 <Arios>	"C-cover my wounds and s-stop them from .. ugh .. bleeding. Where ... are ... they?"
Oct 27 20:08:23 <blaxout1213>	The nox looks around you, and says, "A-all o-ov-over!", as the world gets darker and darker
Oct 27 20:10:27 <Arios>	With much struggle I manage to get some words out: "Loosing ... to much ... blood. C-cover ... t-t-the wounds. P-please"
Oct 27 20:12:33 <blaxout1213>	The nox squawks in panic, and does as you command, hugging you in his wings, covering a few of your many wounds, before the world becomes completely black
Oct 27 20:15:25 <blaxout1213>	You wake up, sometime later, covered in aches and pains atop a chilly stone floor. You hear the echoing of your breathing, which is slow and methodic, as your one eye slowly begins to open
Oct 27 20:16:13 <Arios>	I peek around, looking for any clue as to what happened
Oct 27 20:20:23 <blaxout1213>	You look around, slowly, and find yourself in a large circular chamber. On the other side of the chamber, you see the red phoenix, chains around her talons as she lays on the ground. In the space between you two, there are bodies of the armed birds, covered in blood and torn apart. There is an exit to this chamber, in the roof, which is very wide, and curves towards the left.
Oct 27 20:22:01 <Arios>	I carefully look around for any trace of the black bird or other living creature....
Oct 27 20:22:35 <blaxout1213>	You cant really see much from where you are, just the bodies of armed birds, and the red bird
Oct 27 20:23:44 <Arios>	I decide to risk it and whisper to her: "Hey, you're alive!"
Oct 27 20:25:09 <blaxout1213>	She awakes with a jump, and attempts to run, before her chains catch her, and bring her down. She shakes her head after it impacts with the ground, looks at you with wide eyes, then lets out a small sigh of relief, before asking, "Wh-what are you d-doing here?"
Oct 27 20:27:05 <Arios>	"We ... tried to free you, but they got me. How ... *aargh* ... are you?" I ask her, as I make a wrong move that sends the sensation of pain through my entire body
Oct 27 20:28:06 <blaxout1213>	"Dont move too much! Youll pass out again!", she says, approaching you as much as her chain allows
Oct 27 20:28:41 <Arios>	I try to look at my own legs to see if they are also chained
Oct 27 20:29:18 <blaxout1213>	They are, your right talon is constricted by a lengthy chain, which is bound to the wall
Oct 27 20:30:31 <Arios>	"How ... how long have I been here?" I ask, still confused. "Where is ... brother?"
Oct 27 20:30:56 <blaxout1213>	"You have a brother?", the red bird asks, confused
Oct 27 20:32:17 <Arios>	"No ... the ... uuugh ... black bird. The brother of the other bird" I say, with a dizzy feeling in my head. "He helped me attack"
Oct 27 20:33:02 <blaxout1213>	"Oh...", she says with a bit of disgust, "I have no idea"
Oct 27 20:34:09 <Arios>	"Where ... are we?"
Oct 27 20:34:56 <blaxout1213>	"Well, in a cave these other flying things live in... the little bastards..."
Oct 27 20:35:39 <Arios>	"How did ... how did they get you anyways? The last thing I remember is me falling asleep with you. Then The black bird woke me up and you were gone"
Oct 27 20:36:00 <Arios>	"We found ... aaargh ... a feather and went into the cave. We attacked them but they defeated me"
Oct 27 20:36:31 <blaxout1213>	"I watched you like you told me to... but the black bird... it woke up and ran at me... I flew away"
Oct 27 20:37:16 <Arios>	"And ... and then?"
Oct 27 20:37:35 <blaxout1213>	"These... things swarmed me, and I ended up here"
Oct 27 20:39:28 <Arios>	"What are they going to do with us? I don't like this"
Oct 27 20:39:50 <blaxout1213>	"I dont know, but its been a whole day, and they havent touched me since"
Oct 27 20:41:42 <Arios>	"Well, I am still weak. I will need time"
Oct 27 20:41:55 <Arios>	"Until then, we should probably stay."
Oct 27 20:44:22 <blaxout1213>	The red bird attempts to get closer, but her chain lacks any slack, so she stays 3 meters away from you. She gets a little frustrated, but sits down anyways, undoubtable uncomfortable on top of the chains
Oct 27 20:45:08 <Arios>	I start crawling towards her, hoping that my chain has enough leeway
Oct 27 20:46:18 <blaxout1213>	It does, letting you crawl all the way to the other chained bird, who gets happier with ever decimeter you crawl
Oct 27 20:48:43 <Arios>	I make my way towards her, attempting to embrace her as soon as i get close enough. but given the sorry state of my wings, i just settle for a body hug
Oct 27 20:49:43 <blaxout1213>	The red bird hugs you back with both of her wings, and whispers, "No matter what happens, at least you will be here..."
Oct 27 20:50:40 <Arios>	"We will get out of here" I say, incredibly relieved to see that she is still alive and well, for the most part
Oct 27 20:51:00 <blaxout1213>	"Mind telling me how?"
Oct 27 20:51:25 <Arios>	"I am not sure. But look up, there is a way out"
Oct 27 20:51:33 <Arios>	"we just need to get rid of these ... things"
Oct 27 20:52:06 <blaxout1213>	"Im not going anywhere, let me know when you have an idea"
Oct 27 20:54:25 <Arios>	"I look around to see what is available and what i can do with it.... there has got to be some way..."
Oct 27 20:57:03 <blaxout1213>	All you see around you is the bodies of birds, which might have some equipment on them, but its hard to tell
Oct 27 20:58:15 <Arios>	"Maybe these things carried something useful" I say, waling towards the pile of bodies....
Oct 27 21:00:57 <blaxout1213>	You walk towards one of the bodies, and as you approach, notice that one of the talons is full of black feathers, along with a large gash along the creatures chest, which is still leaking a tiny amount of blood. Its other talon is hidden from you though, on the other side of its body
Oct 27 21:02:11 <Arios>	i peck at the body in an attempt to turn it around and expose the other talon
Oct 27 21:04:11 <blaxout1213>	You expose the other talon, which is holding the upper half of a broken spear, which is tipped in your own blood, or at least a liquid with a very similar color
Oct 27 21:08:56 <Arios>	I grab the spearhead with my free talon, as i move back to my friend. "Maybe we can use this to break them off" I say
Oct 27 21:09:53 <blaxout1213>	"We can?", she asks, confused and curious
Oct 27 21:15:13 <Arios>	"Maybe" I say, not really sure

Oct 29 19:07:00 <Arios>	I take the spearhead and try to wedge it between my talon and the chain, forcing the chain to open
Oct 29 19:09:38 <blaxout1213>	You stick the spearhead in the chain link, and do your best to wedge it open. You feel like you might be getting somewhere, before the spear shatters, sending small sharp bits of material flying everywhere, causing the red bird to squawk in surprise
Oct 29 19:10:54 <Arios>	"Close" I mumble, as I inspect my body for any potential bruises
Oct 29 19:12:09 <blaxout1213>	A few bits of material are lodged between your feathers, but you spot no new wounds. "That was noisy", the red bird says, while looking up towards the hole in the ceiling
Oct 29 19:14:52 <Arios>	"Do you know what is up there?" I ask her, realizing that I haven't really familiarized myself with my surroundings. I start to take a look around....
Oct 29 19:17:18 <blaxout1213>	"Well... the winged things at least... they tossed me down here without a care... just let me hit the floor. They chained me up after I tried to leave... I guess they learned their lesson for you"
Oct 29 19:18:51 <Arios>	"I wonder why they are keeping us here, instead of just killing us.... Did they fight you at all?" I ask, while pecking at the chain
Oct 29 19:20:40 <blaxout1213>	"Do you think I just let them take me?", she asks, as she spreads one of her wings, exposing a spear sized hole that lets you see the wall behind it. "I was so afraid of that black bird, I didn't even pay attention to them sneaking up on me"
Oct 29 19:24:10 <Arios>	"Ow!" I say, as I see the hole in her wing. "I hope it will heal, you will need your wings to get out of here"
Oct 29 19:24:32 <Arios>	"Still though, why are they keeping us here" I say, looking around for any clues.....
Oct 29 19:27:14 <blaxout1213>	"My wings still work, but I can see through them now", the red bird explains as you look around, only finding one thing peculiar. There are wounds on these creatures, ones you dont remember putting there. It looks something similar to you biting something with your beak, though with sharper, harsher wounds.
Oct 29 19:28:58 <Arios>	"You shouldn't stress them if you don't have to I think. I will need some time to heal as well" I say, as I investigate more closely: "Those wounds look .. different. And there are black feathers - do you think that one of the black birds attacked them?"
Oct 29 19:30:15 <blaxout1213>	"How am I supposed to know? I seriously hope not though, Id rather be here than near that black bird"
Oct 29 19:32:38 <Arios>	I turn around and look directly at her as I get closer to her. "Do you still think that he is out to get us?" I ask, not awaiting an answer. "He helped me whereever he could. He fought against these things with me to get you out of here. I think he is on our side"
Oct 29 19:33:26 <blaxout1213>	"Ill believe it when I see it", she says, as she starts pecking at the area around her injured wing
Oct 29 19:35:35 <Arios>	"Look, I understand that you are sceptical. I am too. But, if you want him to work with us you will have to get over your fear of him. You can't just run away whenever he gets closer to you. We need to work together. Can ... can I help you with your wing?"
Oct 29 19:37:57 <blaxout1213>	She spreads her wing, laying it across the floor as much as she can, while saying, "Its just... it sounds too good to be true... everything feels like an elaborate trap... hes just trying to get us in the right place for his brother, and by the looks of it, has succeeded"
Oct 29 19:43:37 <Arios>	I approach her wing and start to cater the wound as best as I can. "I don't think its one, but it's not impossible. Then again, does it really matter? You get so nervous whenever you get next to one of them, whether they want to help you or hurt you doesn't even matter." I pause for a moment "I just think you would do better if you weren't so ... jumpy around them. If they mean well we can work together better and if they don't - well -
Oct 29 19:43:38 <Arios>	you'll do better if you keep calm. Do you see what I mean?"
Oct 29 19:47:10 <blaxout1213>	She lets out a few painful chirps as you poke around the hole in her wing, which has already undergone healing, though you can see beak marks of where she has pecked at it a few times. In a pained voice she says, "Th-thats so ha--agh! Stop that!". She pulls her wing back in, and steps closer to the wall where her chain is attached.
Oct 29 19:48:02 <Arios>	"Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you!" I say, obviously sorry about that
Oct 29 19:49:55 <blaxout1213>	"Its... its fine... but trusting those kinds of birds... its impossible... I just cant do it"
Oct 29 19:50:23 <Arios>	"No, not trust them"
Oct 29 19:51:08 <Arios>	"Just, not panic when you see them. I don't 'trust' them either. But it looks like you panic whenever you see one. And that doesn't help"
Oct 29 19:52:58 <Arios>	I look right at her: "Look, I can understand why you are so scared of them, but don't you think it would be better if you weren't? Doesn't mean that you have to trust them - just stay calm. I know that it's difficult, but I'm sure you can do it"
Oct 29 19:53:47 <blaxout1213>	"What do I have to lose at this point, honestly"
Oct 29 19:59:10 <Arios>	"You said you wanted to see everything. Explore. Meet others. See what's out there" After a short break I add: "And .... and I would loose you", in a very timid way
Oct 29 19:59:16 <Arios>	"I ... I don't want that"
Oct 29 20:06:50 <blaxout1213>	Her chains clink and clank as she walks back up to you, and sits down with a sigh. "I do...", she says quietly, as if she only wants you to hear it. "...but every single night, I have nightmares about this... I lay awake, checking around me at all times... making sure im alone... Im starting to think it isnt worth it... That life is a distant dream, death seems welcoming compared to this... Youre my only hope... my last chance
Oct 29 20:06:50 <blaxout1213>	before I give up forever... if this doesn't work, well..." She finishes, putting her head on top of your back, resting it there. Shortly after, you feel a single drop of warm liquid sneak its way through your feathers, and onto the skin below
Oct 29 20:10:07 <Arios>	I turn around and, without saying a word, open my wings to embrace her whole body. I lower my head to hers and whipser: "I will do everything I can to get you ouf of this. I promise"
Oct 29 20:13:54 <blaxout1213>	"Step one... free the birds" she says, as she stands up, and kicks her leg forward. The chain rips off the wall with a huge deafening clang, as the metal rubs against the stone floor.
Oct 29 20:15:19 <Arios>	"Wow!" I squawk loudly. "How ... how did you do that?"
Oct 29 20:16:36 <blaxout1213>	"Well, I yanked the chain", she says, as she approaches the base of your chain
Oct 29 20:18:22 <Arios>	"Wait" I say, before she can touch my chain. "I have an idea." I then start to channel my inner fire in the same way that I used it in combat, only this time focusing on the metal of the chain
Oct 29 20:20:57 <blaxout1213>	The metal of the chain starts warming, getting hotter and hotter, and even starts to glow just a tiny bit. At this, the red bird says, "Oh... why didn't I think of that..."
Oct 29 20:22:14 <Arios>	I keep going until the chain melts, then I quickly remove my talon from it. "Well, your method works too" I say, laughing
Oct 29 20:25:14 <blaxout1213>	The red bird follows suit, making her beak quite warm, and biting down on the chain around her talon, freeing her from the chain, leaving behind a few drops of orange molten metal. Afterwards, she looks at you, giggling a bit too, saying "Lets get out of here"
Oct 29 20:25:58 <Arios>	"I ... I'm still pretty weak" I warn her
Oct 29 20:26:22 <Arios>	"I'm not sure if we should wait for a bit"
Oct 29 20:28:07 <blaxout1213>	"Well, I dont know how to fight... so lets just not fight", she says, as her radiant red light dims and dims until you can only see her with your light
Oct 29 20:29:47 <Arios>	"Yes" I say, as I also start to dim my light down. "We ... we will just have to be very careful" I pause: "And I should probably show you how to fight"
Oct 29 20:30:02 <Arios>	"Oh, one more thing!"
Oct 29 20:30:26 <Arios>	"I can't just say 'you' all the time. Do ... do you have a name?"
Oct 29 20:30:38 <blaxout1213>	"A what?"
Oct 29 20:30:46 <Arios>	"What should I call you?"
Oct 29 20:32:25 <blaxout1213>	"I uh...", the red bird says, struggling to give an answer
Oct 29 20:33:25 <Arios>	"Well, you don't have to answer right now. But maybe think of one"
Oct 29 20:33:43 <Arios>	"I am not sure why, but I think my ... name ... is Arios. I don't know where it comes from"
Oct 29 20:33:43 <blaxout1213>	"Do I have to?"
Oct 29 20:33:51 <Arios>	"It just feels like mine"
Oct 29 20:34:01 <Arios>	"It would make things easier I think"
Oct 29 20:34:30 <Arios>	"Anyway, let's go" I say, now entirely dimmed down, as I start to stretch my wings
Oct 29 20:35:48 <blaxout1213>	You dim yourself all the way down, and quickly run into the problem of not being able to see anywhere. At this, the unnamed red bird says, "Maybe we should have thought this through..." as you feel her feathers touch yours as you stretch your wings
Oct 29 20:37:47 <Arios>	"Maybe one of us should check if we can even get out right now" I say
Oct 29 20:38:09 <Arios>	"if we can, we can just stick together. If they are waiting, then I don't think we can sneak away easil"
Oct 29 20:38:12 <Arios>	*y
Oct 29 20:38:45 <blaxout1213>	"Put these things away first", she says, pushing your wing closer to your body, "Theyre tickling me"
Oct 29 20:39:03 <Arios>	"Oh, sorry" I say as I retract my wings
Oct 29 20:39:27 <Arios>	though not before intentionally tickling her a little bit
Oct 29 20:40:24 <blaxout1213>	She laughs, genuinely enjoying it, before playfully saying, "Dont make me come over there!"
Oct 29 20:42:13 <Arios>	I retract my wings for real this time while laughing. "Haha! No worries. We can keep going once we are safe, alright?"
Oct 29 20:43:36 <blaxout1213>	"Hehe, lets start by getting out of here", she says, as you hear her fly upwards in the darkness
Oct 29 20:44:09 <Arios>	I fly upwards as well, trying to keep close to her, even though that proves difficult, given my bad eyesight
Oct 29 20:44:45 <Arios>	"Hey" I whisper. "Where are you?"
Oct 29 20:46:01 <blaxout1213>	You quickly get your answer, as the red bird must have stopped, and you ram right into her underside, causing a laugh filled squawk to eminate from the red bird. "Cant you wait until we are out of here", she whispers back, still laughing
Oct 29 20:47:59 <Arios>	"I can't see anything at all" I whisper, glad that I found her. "Let's just keep close and hope that those things see as bad as we do"
Oct 29 20:48:04 <Arios>	as little*
Oct 29 20:50:23 <blaxout1213>	She laughs a little more, and says, "Alright, sure, just dont bump into me please, at least not yet". She continues flying, though her wing flaps sound intentionally louder, as she ascends through the tunnel
Oct 29 20:50:54 <Arios>	I follow her, staying close enough to still hear her wings
Oct 29 20:53:41 <blaxout1213>	The pair of you fly upwards for quite a bit, bumping into the walls constantly, feeling the tunnel curve more and more. Eventually, the tunnel seems to flatten out, and near the end of it, you see light leaking in from the outside. The two of you are still concealed in darkness though, as you hear the red bird land on the stone beneath you
Oct 29 20:54:38 <Arios>	I land right next to her, making sure not to make any unnecesary noise
Oct 29 20:57:52 <blaxout1213>	The two of you land, looking towards the light, seeing a rough cave shaped tunnel before you, quite a few of these bird creatures are here, laying along the walls of the tunnel, as the red bird makes quiet steps towards the light. "Lets not wake them", she says, as she continues down
Oct 29 20:58:43 <Arios>	I take the same path she does, being very wary of any loose rocks or the like
Oct 29 21:01:33 <blaxout1213>	You follow her, avoiding all the pebbles and weapons these things leave about, as she walks past the bird creatures, sometimes even stepping over them. She doesnt pay much attention to the ground here, focusing instead on the exit ahead. You go to step over a bird creature, just as she did, but notice that your talon steps into a warm liquid, just before the bird creature.
Oct 29 21:02:53 <Arios>	I decide to ignore it and keep moving, being as cautious as before
Oct 29 21:06:17 <blaxout1213>	The pair of you quietly sneak past a majority of cave, easily passing a couple dozen of these bird creatures. Youre about 15 meters away from the light, freedom from this place, when the red birds lack of attention backfires, as she trips over one of the bird creatures below her. She lands on the other side of it, not even bothering to catch herself, as she looks at the creature she tripped over with a bit of fear and anxiety
Oct 29 21:09:19 <Arios>	I increase my walking speed, readying myself to run for the exit, should the creature wake up
Oct 29 21:10:06 <blaxout1213>	The creature doesnt wake up, just flops from the impact with the red bird, who gets onto her feet, looking at the creature
Oct 29 21:10:46 <Arios>	I look at my friend, indicating to her that she should just keep going while I make my way close to the exit
Oct 29 21:11:52 <blaxout1213>	"I... I dont think we needed to be this stealthy..." she says, poking the creature
Oct 29 21:12:34 <Arios>	"Dont!" I hiss. "Just keep going, don't risk it. I'm still weak"
Oct 29 21:14:02 <blaxout1213>	"Its... its dead...", she says, rolling the creature over to expose long scratch marks, still leaking blood
Oct 29 21:15:42 <Arios>	I quickly look another creature right next to me, carefully turning it on its back
Oct 29 21:17:13 <blaxout1213>	It shares similar scratch marks, as its body rests on a puddle of blood. The scratch marks resemble the ones you saw when you first met the red bird
Oct 29 21:19:20 <Arios>	"We need to go - right now" I say, quickly heading for the exit, while looking around for any signs of the attacker or the other fellow black bird
Oct 29 21:22:57 <blaxout1213>	Near the end of the cave, there are a few of these creatures unusually close to each other, stacked on top of each other. In between the little gaps, you see a pair of reflective lights, watching you
Oct 29 21:24:37 <Arios>	"Why are you hiding?" I ask
Oct 29 21:24:50 <Arios>	"Remember what I said. Try to remain calm"
Oct 29 21:26:14 <blaxout1213>	"What?", the red bird asks, a little confused, as the reflective points continue to look at you, unyielding and silent
Oct 29 21:27:39 <Arios>	"Don't you see it? Behind that pile of bodies over there. I'm not sure which one" I whisper to her, then I turn my head towards the pile again and head towards it. "Come out"
Oct 29 21:29:58 <blaxout1213>	"Oh.... no", She says, panic slowly filling her voice as she follows you. The reflective points look at you, disappear for a moment as they blink, but dont move beyond that
Oct 29 21:32:44 <Arios>	"You got this. Remember, the more collected you are the less it can do. You can stay behind a bit" I say as I approach the pile, moving to its left side in order to see who is hiding behind it
Oct 29 21:37:39 <blaxout1213>	You approach the pile from the different angle, as the red bird holds her ground here. The reflective points follow you, as you start to circle around, until you reach a certain point, which prompts the hiding bird to take flight. One of the bodies are thrown into the air, as the bird flies up, and attaches itself to the wall nearby, giving you a great look at the bird. Its the crazed one, the brother of the friendly one, and
Oct 29 21:37:39 <blaxout1213>	its looking at you while licking its beak with its long cylindrical tongue
Oct 29 21:39:00 <Arios>	"...Now what" I say, while carefully observing it
Oct 29 21:40:38 <blaxout1213>	"Now?", the black bird says, "Now its lunchtime" It spreads its wings in preperation to leap off the wall
Oct 29 21:42:13 <Arios>	"There's nothing that convince you otherwise, is there?" I ask it
Oct 29 21:45:08 <blaxout1213>	The bird pauses, and says, "Oh no, but I appreciate you making this easy for me, really. It was a pain chasing this bird down, but cornering her... how did you do it? I never could" At this the red birds breathing is getting faster, but she hasnt moved yet, simply watching.
Oct 29 21:46:11 <Arios>	"You can thank these killed ones for that" I say, the sound of disgust being audible in my voice. I then continue: "You have a brother"
Oct 29 21:47:30 <blaxout1213>	"Oh? I do, do I?" the bird says, looking at you with more curiosity, and less ferocity
Oct 29 21:49:12 <Arios>	"How can one forget such a thing?" I ask. "He has been looking for you all this time. He misses you"
Oct 29 21:51:47 <blaxout1213>	"I care not, he was a nuisance, only trying to keep me from my goals. I hope he learned his lesson the last time we met, but it seems he did not."
Oct 29 21:53:22 <Arios>	"Your goals. Your goals. Eating her is your only goal in life? Really? Do you know how much there is and your only goal is to hurt another living being. Why make that your goal?"
Oct 29 21:53:45 <Arios>	"It seems pathetic to me. Hunting something that cannot even defend itself"
Oct 29 21:57:21 <blaxout1213>	"Maybe if I got her the first time, then maybe I would move on, but no! She evaded me, not once, not twice, but a total of three times. Its about more than just hunting her, I have invested too much effort for her to simply be let go. This will happen, it has to"
Oct 29 22:00:58 <Arios>	"You are obsessed with her. You are obsessed with killing a being that thinks, talks, feels. And for what? For a short moment of pleasure? Before you realize that all of this was futile and din't get you anything? Because that will happen. Is it worth it? Ending a life just for that?"
Oct 29 22:02:51 <blaxout1213>	"Yes", the bird replys, simply and coldly, as he leaps off the wall, heading directly for the red bird, wings spread and talons ready
Oct 29 22:04:35 <Arios>	"Run!" I scream, while leaping off in an attempt to tackle down the black bird during flight
Oct 29 22:08:33 <blaxout1213>	The red bird runs deeper into the cave, as you smash the black bird against the stone floor here, which squawks a bit in surprise, then says, "You foolish phoenix, you just sealed your doom"
Oct 29 22:10:40 <Arios>	"No! Towards the stars! I will be there" I yell, while trying to keep the black bird pinned to the floor. "Don't do this to her. Please" I say while looking at it, bracing for its inevitable attack
Oct 29 22:13:44 <blaxout1213>	The black bird uses its beak to stab you right in the chest, as the red bird, still panicking flies out of the cave, following your oders. The hit from the black bird weakens your already weak body, to the point where you cannot hold this bird down anymore. At this point, he simply pushes you off, as your new wound washes the black bird in your blood.
Oct 29 22:14:52 <Arios>	"You have got me pinned down already. Just take me instead" I cough, exposing my chest
Oct 29 22:16:35 <blaxout1213>	"Oooh no, its not about the taste of the core anymore, its about the one that wont get away again. Dont you worry though, ill come back for seconds", the black bird says, as it approaches the mouth of the cave, taking off after the red bird
Oct 29 22:18:02 <Arios>	not being able to do anything, i simply lay on the ground and try to stop the bleeding as well as i can while i await my doom
Oct 29 22:24:12 <blaxout1213>	You cover up the bleeding hole in your chest, as you watch the black bird catch up to the red one as she ascends above the atmosphere. Shes quick, but she isnt as fast as the nox tailing her, who lowers his talons, and cuts them deep into her. Down the red bird plummets, towards the sea below, as the nox follows her in hot pursuit. The red bird disappears beneath the floor of the cave, and the nox does too. From here, you hear
Oct 29 22:24:12 <blaxout1213>	an extremely frightened squawk, followed by a violent clash of talons. Then, silence, simply nothing
Oct 29 22:25:35 <Arios>	Not able to do anything else, I let out a ear-shattering scream of agony and hatred
Oct 29 22:27:30 <blaxout1213>	Its impossible to know whether or not someone heard your scream, the world simply grows darker and darker, until the blackness consumes you
Oct 29 22:31:57 <blaxout1213>	You hear a bit of a hissing, until you hear an explosion, blinding your little eyes with tons of light, forcing you to blink multiple times. Whatever youre sitting on is incredibly soft, and keeps you comfortable and warm, as the heated air around you is filled with feathers and fire. This explosion is accompanied by a surprised squawk, from an unknown source, as you open your eyes once more.
Oct 29 22:32:54 <Arios>	I look around, trying to comprehend what just happened
Oct 29 22:34:35 <blaxout1213>	You look around, in a bed of feathers, which seem huge to you, along with a very large black bird, one that you recognize as the brother of the other black bird. He seems so much bigger than before, and looks at you with surprise and confusion
Oct 29 22:36:16 <Arios>	"Where ... where am I?" I ask
Oct 29 22:38:23 <blaxout1213>	"Y-y-youre al-alive!", the black bird says, surprised youre in front of him, "B-but I-I do-dont re-remember y-you be-being th-that sm-small", he says, getting his very large beak into your tiny face
Oct 29 22:42:05 <Arios>	"I ... how am I alive? And I don't remember you being so big?" I say, suprised
Oct 29 22:42:40 <blaxout1213>	"Y-you t-tell me!", he says, as he lightly pecks your down feathers
Oct 29 22:46:08 <Arios>	"I don't know! The last thing I remember is your brother injuring me and then letting me bleed out and going for her.... I should be dead. But I'm not" I pause for a moment, then screech: "Where is she? I have to find her" before trying to take off unsucsessfully
Oct 29 22:47:18 <blaxout1213>	"E-Easy, l-little o-one", the black bird says, following you, "Y-youre n-not g-going an-anywhere l-like th-this"
Oct 29 22:48:59 <Arios>	I look at myself to get a better picture of myself
Oct 29 22:51:43 <blaxout1213>	Youre tiny, covered in feathers that are much fluffier than normal, the ones that usually hide under your proper feathers. Everything about you seems scaled down, your tail feathers especially, which seem to be non existent. Your talons arent as sharp as they were before, sporting a dull tip instead of their usual sharp one. The whole thing reminds you of yourself when you were still on your star
Oct 29 22:55:49 <Arios>	"I ... I look like I used to when I was younger. Did I go back in time?"
Oct 29 22:56:11 <blaxout1213>	"Wh-what?", the black bird asks, condused
Oct 29 22:57:29 <Arios>	"I ... don't know. But I somehow am young again. I look like a young bird, right?"
Oct 29 22:58:20 <blaxout1213>	"Y-you a-are ti-tiny!", the bird exclaims, then proceeds to prove it by picking you up by your little leg, dangling you upside down
Oct 29 23:00:38 <Arios>	I panick a little and flail around for a few seconds before calming down. I look around and exclaim: "Wow, I really am tiny!"

Nov 01 17:37:33 *	Now talking on #sidebirb
Nov 01 17:41:00 <Arios>	I look up to him while asking "Can you put me down again?"
Nov 01 17:41:56 <dimwit105>	The nox obeys, putting you down on your soft pile of feathers on the ground, still looking at you with a cocked face as he plops you down on your stomach
Nov 01 17:43:33 <Arios>	"I'm ... I'm so confused. How did this happen?"
Nov 01 17:45:22 <dimwit105>	"I-I d-dont kn-know... b-but y-you are c-cuter th-than I re-remember", the nox says, spinning around you, investigating from all sides
Nov 01 17:46:41 <Arios>	"Thanks, I guess" I say before stating: "I just hope that I will grow up again eventually. I wonder what she will think of this...."
Nov 01 17:47:00 <Arios>	"Oh god, what about her?" I suddenly shout, remembering what happened before I blacked out
Nov 01 17:47:30 <Arios>	"She must be down there somewhere" I screech, hastily pointing in the directon that I last saw the other Nox fly. "Can you look for her?"
Nov 01 17:50:00 <dimwit105>	The nox again picks you up, seemingly enjoying the amount of control he has over you. He drops you onto his back, letting you feel his feathers amongst yours. They are hard, not soft at all, rubbing against your down feathers, threatening to rip them out if you arent careful. "W-w-we g-go tog-together, j-just l-like mo-mother did"
Nov 01 17:51:12 <Arios>	"Wow, your feathers are so different to mine! But yes, lets go"
Nov 01 17:52:40 <dimwit105>	"A-are al-all ph-phoenixes th-this so-soft?", he asks, as he flies out of the cave
Nov 01 17:53:13 <Arios>	"I think so. At least the only other one I know is. What ... what did you call us? Pheonixes?"
Nov 01 17:53:46 <dimwit105>	"Y-yes, m-mother u-used to t-tell us a-all about y-your k-kind"
Nov 01 17:54:17 <Arios>	"... what did she tell you? I want to learn more about .. well, myself"
Nov 01 17:55:51 <dimwit105>	"Sh-she said y-you a-are birds, l-like u-us, but v-very di-different in s-some ways"
Nov 01 17:56:44 <Arios>	"Like how our feathers are more fluffy?"
Nov 01 17:57:24 <dimwit105>	"Y-yes, b-but I ju-just le-learned th-this one"
Nov 01 17:58:09 <Arios>	"so, what did she tell you?"
Nov 01 17:59:16 <dimwit105>	"Sh-she s-said you are unp-unpredictable, d-dangerous, but t-tasty"
Nov 01 18:00:01 <Arios>	"T-tasty? Why would you eat us?"
Nov 01 18:00:41 <dimwit105>	"Mo-mother sa-said that w-we n-need to, o-otherwise w-we st-stop bu-burning"
Nov 01 18:00:57 <Arios>	"You are burning too?"
Nov 01 18:01:27 <dimwit105>	"N-no, I d-dont th-think sh-she meant l-literally"
Nov 01 18:02:15 <Arios>	"I... I think I know what you mean though. That feeling inside, that keeps me warm. And that gives me power. Is that what you mean?"
Nov 01 18:02:34 <dimwit105>	"N-not w-warm, b-but y-yes"
Nov 01 18:04:14 <Arios>	"And ... you need to eat us to keep going? I ... I don't think we ... Phoenixes have to do something like that"
Nov 01 18:04:44 <dimwit105>	"H-how d-do you kn-know?"
Nov 01 18:06:12 <Arios>	"I ... just I think so. I haven't eaten anything since I can remember. And I am still strong"
Nov 01 18:06:15 <Arios>	"... what about you?"
Nov 01 18:07:21 <dimwit105>	"I ha-havent ea-eaten either... and I-I f-feel o-okay"
Nov 01 18:09:49 <Arios>	"Hmm" I mumble, not sure what to make of this, though I am slightly uncomfortable. "D-do all ... uh ... of you eat us? Do you have a name?"
Nov 01 18:12:23 <Arios>	"All of you I mean. Like Phoenixes"
Nov 01 18:13:21 <dimwit105>	"Every nox I know has eaten a phoenix... except myself... Mother called me Jayko..."
Nov 01 18:14:45 <Arios>	"Jayko... alright. And what did you call yourself? A ... a nox? My name seems to be Arios by the way"
Nov 01 18:16:33 <dimwit105>	"Th-the da-darker ones a-are n-nox, b-but I s-swear I s-saw a wh-white one"
Nov 01 18:20:03 <Arios>	"Huh. How many nox do you know? Because I have only seen one other Phoenix. I really want to see her again....." I say, peeking over the Nox' back, scanning the landscape below me"
Nov 01 18:22:07 <dimwit105>	You attempt to look over the nox, but your tiny height combined with his comparatively huge wings only let you see his black feathers. "I kn-know at l-least o-one oth-other family... fo-for a t-total of... 6 nox"
Nov 01 18:23:40 <Arios>	"Do you see her anywhere? I can't look myself - I'm to small.... 6 others...."
Nov 01 18:26:21 <dimwit105>	"I th-think I s-see so-something...", Jayko says, as he begins his descent downwards. During the descent, you feel him twitch, and suddenly don a face of repulsiveness. He doesnt say anything, but whatever he is looking at isnt pretty, at least by his standard
Nov 01 18:27:17 <Arios>	"Is ... is it her?" I ask, excitedly moving up and down his back
Nov 01 18:28:30 <dimwit105>	"D-do y-you r-r-rea-really w-want t-to kn-know?", he asks, as he finishes his descent with a splashdown in the cold water, getting your down feathers wet, making you twitch with a shiver
Nov 01 18:31:08 <Arios>	"I ... oh please no. Please tell me she is alright..."
Nov 01 18:32:13 <dimwit105>	"O-okay, sh-she is al-alright", the bird says blandly, with a sound of fabrication in its voice
Nov 01 18:33:19 <Arios>	"I .... I need to see her." I say, the feeling of dread now completley filling my voice
Nov 01 18:37:13 <dimwit105>	The nox sighs, and pushes itself agaisnt the water using its wings, until it drifts next to the red bird, and pulls his wings in to give you an unobstructed view of what he is talking about. You see her, what used to be a colorful red is now a dull grey, only red from blood. Her body is ravaged with talon scratches and beak bites, the most severe being a massive hole going straight through her back, right to the center of her
Nov 01 18:37:13 <dimwit105>	chest. The water around is red, as she still leaks some blood into the surrounding area, along with colorless feathers
Nov 01 18:39:17 <Arios>	"no. No. NO. NO!" I scream at this sight, quickly followed by tears running down my eyes as I stare at her now lifeless body
Nov 01 18:40:41 <dimwit105>	The nox puts his head next to you, and quietly says, "Im... im sorry"
Nov 01 18:46:35 <Arios>	"I .... I ... I" I try to start a sentence, but my sobbing and the tears still rolling from my eyes prevent me from doing do
Nov 01 18:47:11 <Arios>	After a while I put my head next to his and dig myself into his feathes, as well as I can anyways, not saying a word
Nov 01 18:49:01 <dimwit105>	You dig past the nox's harder feathers, and find softer ones below, though they still arent as soft as yours. You feel a beak scratch your back, as the nox says, "E-easy li-little o-one"
Nov 01 18:51:41 <Arios>	I remain in this position for a while, not capable of any coherent thought. Eventually my mind starts to clear again. "L-l-lets go. P-please" I say, struggling to form even such a simple sentence
Nov 01 18:51:57 <Arios>	I take one last look at her lifeless body, tears still filling up my eyes
Nov 01 18:52:27 <dimwit105>	The nox obeys, flying away, as you watch the red bird fade into the fog
Nov 01 18:53:54 <Arios>	I still sit below his outer feathers, motionless
Nov 01 18:56:03 <dimwit105>	The nox flies, in silence, until you feel his flight come to an end. You feel the birds wings close in, and the bird sit down, though he doesnt make any attempt to move you, he simply leaves you alone.
Nov 01 18:58:37 <Arios>	"Wh-what do we do now?" I ask very quetly
Nov 01 19:00:15 <dimwit105>	"We-well... sh-she is ph-phoenix t-too... d-does that m-mean sh-she i-is sm-small bi-bird?"
Nov 01 19:02:52 <Arios>	"M-...Maybe. But ... but then why is she still dead? Why is her body there?"
Nov 01 19:03:28 <dimwit105>	"I... I d-dont ha-have th-the an-answers..."
Nov 01 19:05:19 <Arios>	"I ... I need some time. Time to think. I-is ... is that alright?" I ask
Nov 01 19:05:45 <dimwit105>	"A-alone? Wh-when y-you a-are s-so small?"
Nov 01 19:07:13 <Arios>	"N-no. Not alone. Please. I ... I just need to think for a bit. Can I stay up here, J-J-Jayko?"
Nov 01 19:08:23 <dimwit105>	"A-as long a-as y-you n-need t-to", he says, trying to comfort you by scratching your back with his massive beak
Nov 01 19:09:06 <Arios>	"J-Jayko?"
Nov 01 19:09:22 <dimwit105>	"Y-yes?"
Nov 01 19:10:26 <Arios>	"T-Thank you"
Nov 01 19:11:12 <dimwit105>	"W-we sh-share th-the sa-same p-pain now", he says, lowering his head as if he is about to sleep
Nov 01 19:13:14 <Arios>	"I ... I never thouhgt It would hurt that much" I say. "It's ... it ... I don't know."
Nov 01 19:13:25 <Arios>	"Maybe we should sleep for a bit" I say
Nov 01 19:13:53 <dimwit105>	"Im ha-halfw-way there al-already"
Nov 01 19:15:38 <Arios>	I respond by lowering my head into his feathers, trying to drift away into sleep
Nov 01 19:19:02 <dimwit105>	It takes a while, you are still restless from your emotions, you spend a long time tossing and turning within the nox's feathers, before fatigue finally wins, and you drift off. Even in sleep, you are restless, as all you dream about is the last thing you saw, and heard, in the previous life. The nox going after the only one of your kind, slaying her in cold blood. You wake up sometime later, the nox beneath you walking somewhere.
Nov 01 19:21:24 <Arios>	"I .. I'm awake now." I say, just in case Jayko didn't notice by himself. "W-where are we going?"
Nov 01 19:24:17 <dimwit105>	"O-oh, y-you sl-slept f-for so l-long, I th-thought y-you w-would n-never w-wake", he says, adding, "We a-are g-going t-to find o-out i-if y-your fr-friend c-came b-back t-too"
Nov 01 19:25:38 <Arios>	"D-did you see me while I was, um - dead, I guess? Did I look like she did?" The image of her lifeless body creeps into my head once again
Nov 01 19:26:48 <dimwit105>	"Y-yes, b-but y-you st-still f-felt w-warm"
Nov 01 19:27:04 <dimwit105>	"A-and di-didnt h-have th-that h-hole"
Nov 01 19:28:05 <Arios>	"That hole..... your ... your brother talked about that "core". Maybe, maybe he took hers and thats why she wasn't warm?"
Nov 01 19:29:13 <dimwit105>	"M-maybe th-thats wh-why she d-didnt c-come back"
Nov 01 19:30:32 <Arios>	"Maybe. Or maybe...."
Nov 01 19:30:42 <Arios>	"I thought of something else"
Nov 01 19:31:01 <dimwit105>	"Wh-whats th-that?"
Nov 01 19:31:01 <Arios>	"The first thing I remember - ever - is waking up on a star"
Nov 01 19:31:13 <Arios>	"Those bright things in the sky, you know?"
Nov 01 19:31:38 <Arios>	"Maybe she woke up on one of them too?" I say, hopeful
Nov 01 19:33:55 <dimwit105>	"Do you kn-know wh-where h-her st-star is?"
Nov 01 19:34:33 <Arios>	"No. I ... I don't"
Nov 01 19:34:44 <Arios>	"Let's see if she did come back first"
Nov 01 19:34:52 <Arios>	"I'll try to think of something..."
Nov 01 19:35:03 <dimwit105>	"Sh-she c-cant b-be to-too far from b-brothers st-star"
Nov 01 19:35:13 <Arios>	"That's what I was thinking"
Nov 01 19:35:26 <Arios>	"She flew close to it. That's what she told me"
Nov 01 19:35:32 <Arios>	"Do you know where that star is?"
Nov 01 19:35:51 <dimwit105>	"O-of c-course! We o-orb-orbit m-mother!"
Nov 01 19:36:12 <Arios>	"Do ... do you think we should go there?"
Nov 01 19:36:28 <dimwit105>	"Th-thats wh-where I w-was headed"
Nov 01 19:37:56 <Arios>	"Well then..." I say, hopeful. "Lets hope she is there"
Nov 01 19:38:56 <dimwit105>	"W-we will f-find o-out s-soon, we h-have alr-already been t-traveling f-for hours, o-only a f-few more, a-and w-we will b-be there"
Nov 01 19:39:31 <Arios>	"It's that close?" I ask, suprised. "The last time we travelled between stars it took days"
Nov 01 19:42:47 <dimwit105>	"Y-yes, i-is a sm-small pla-place if y-you kn-know wh-where t-to go"
Nov 01 19:43:32 <Arios>	"I see" I say, peeking out of his feathers with curiosity, taking a look around
Nov 01 19:44:14 <dimwit105>	You look to see only the bird that carrys you, no light from other stars reaches out, you are the only thing thats bright
Nov 01 19:46:45 <Arios>	My instincts tell me to limit my light output, just in case someone else is watching
Nov 01 19:46:57 <dimwit105>	"D-do y-you f-fear th-the nox?", your escort says in response to that
Nov 01 19:47:35 <Arios>	"I don't know yet" I reply. "But I know that I am weak right now. I don't want any trouble"
Nov 01 19:49:42 <dimwit105>	"I-its o-okay, m-my m-mother is th-the only nox h-here... though... she h-has ea-eaten ph-phoenixes i-in the p-past..."
Nov 01 19:50:36 <Arios>	"I .... i just want to make sure"
Nov 01 19:50:45 <Arios>	"Maybe when i'm big again. Is that alright?"
Nov 01 19:51:51 <dimwit105>	"Sure... bu-but it-its b-best n-not  t-to sh-show f-fear"
Nov 01 19:52:19 <Arios>	"I see" I say. "So, should I get brighter again?"
Nov 01 19:52:31 <dimwit105>	"I w-would"
Nov 01 19:52:48 <Arios>	I follow his advice and increase my light output back to what it used to be
Nov 01 19:53:24 <dimwit105>	"N-now pr-prepare y-yourself, we wi-will arr-arrive in a f-few h-hours"
Nov 01 19:53:47 <Arios>	"At her star, right?"
Nov 01 19:53:55 <dimwit105>	"Y-yes"
Nov 01 19:54:37 <Arios>	"Alright" I say, trying to remain calm, though I'm not quite able to hide my excitement
Nov 01 19:56:14 <dimwit105>	The nox flies in silence, for the remainder of the journey, before you feel him start to slow down, probably in preparation for a landing
Nov 01 19:56:54 <Arios>	"We are there?" I ask Jayko
Nov 01 19:58:51 <dimwit105>	"One-", Jayko says as you two land with way more force than he obviously intended. Throwing you out of your feathered nest, onto the ground of darkness. "-Moment", Jayko finishes, righting himself
Nov 01 19:59:57 <Arios>	I can't help but giggle a bit, after getting back on my feet. I take a look around to see where we are
Nov 01 20:01:34 <dimwit105>	You are the only source of light on this desolate land of darkness. All you can see is Jayko, as he squawks, "Mother?" in a voice thats alarmingly clear for him. There isnt an immediate response, but you feel different after he calls, like an extra set of eyes are watching you
Nov 01 20:05:22 *	Arios has quit (Quit: Leaving)
Nov 02 13:14:00 *	Arios (~Thane_GER@p5B2743A1.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has joined
Nov 02 13:16:49 <Arios>	"She's around here, I can feel it" I say to Jayko
Nov 02 13:17:12 <dimwit105>	"Y-You c-can? H-how?", Jayko says, looking around
Nov 02 13:17:35 <Arios>	"I ... I just feel it. I'm not sure how"
Nov 02 13:17:47 <Arios>	"It's the same feeling that I had when your brother was watching us"
Nov 02 13:22:42 <dimwit105>	Jayko opens his mouth to say something, before he jumps at a voice behind him, which shouts, "Jayko!" He spins around to reveal a light grey bird, which charges straight at him - no, straight at you. This light bird runs up to you, and grabs you right off of his back, but not before saying, "What have you done!? Didnt I tell you to leave the nesting ones alone!" with a serious voice of anger and disappointment
Nov 02 13:24:21 <Arios>	"It's alright" I say, trying to defuse the situation a bit. "He wasn't trying to eat me. At least not right now"
Nov 02 13:27:48 <dimwit105>	"M-mo-mother!", Jayko says, mostly insulted, "I d-didnt h-hurt an-anyone! P-put h-him down!". Jaykos mother seems surprised at your speech, as if she expected you to be mute, before she releases you, letting you fall a couple of feet, before flopping to the ground
Nov 02 13:28:36 <Arios>	"... You are Jaykos Mother, right?" I look up, asking her
Nov 02 13:31:25 <dimwit105>	She looks down at you, then up at Jayko, then back at you. "Why did you take the little one from its mother? What did that accomplish?" A few seconds later, your question seems to reguster with her. "Oh... yes... I am...", with a confused voice
Nov 02 13:33:02 <Arios>	"Did you .. did you not expect me to talk?" I ask, before continuing to answer her question: "And he didn't take me from the nest. It's, uh, complicated"
Nov 02 13:35:49 <dimwit105>	"I didnt realize the little ones could talk so soon", she says, interrupting Jayko's attempt to explain. "It took my babies quite a while", she continues, rolling you around with her beak
Nov 02 13:38:52 <Arios>	"Well ..." I say - "I didn't use to be that small. I was bigger, but then ... I blacked out after a ... uh ... fight and when I woke up I was this small again. Then Jayko found and helped me". I carefully choose my words as not to include Jaykos brother. I figure that telling his mother about that confrontation would probably not be a good idea right now
Nov 02 13:42:09 <dimwit105>	"But a child of the bright ones... why?", she seems confused, directing the question towards Jayko. He seems reluctant to say anything, but eventually settles on "W-we sh-share a c-common g-goal"
Nov 02 13:47:02 <Arios>	"I ... I have a friend." I correct myself: "Had a friend - maybe. She was red in color and I met her when exploring. One of your kind was chasing her, trying to kill her - and I decided to help her as much as I could. I fought off this Nox and tried to convince him to leave her alone. But he wouldn't listen" I pause for a moment. "So we decided to look for a way to make him stop attacking her and then we found Jayko, who, well ... knows
Nov 02 13:47:03 <Arios>	that Nox..." I look at Jayko, trying to signal him to continue
Nov 02 13:50:23 <dimwit105>	Jaykos mother picks you up again, almost toying with you while Jayko continues, "I-it w-was br-brother, m-mother. H-he fi-finally got h-his ph-phoenix"
Nov 02 13:51:34 <Arios>	I look down, saying "He did. And he almost got me too ... But for some reason I just got smaller when he killed me"
Nov 02 13:56:46 <dimwit105>	"Oh... my poor son...", she says, as she continues to push you around with her beak, "Its all he can think about... I thought I did better..." She keeps pushing you around, not letting you get to your feet, though less playful, and more depressed
Nov 02 13:58:15 <Arios>	"My friend!" I say, being audibly upset, trying to get away from her beak. "He murdered my friend!"
Nov 02 13:59:54 <dimwit105>	"You have to understand... its not his fault", she says, stepping after you as you waddle away. "He... isnt normal, he cant help it"
Nov 02 14:02:16 <Arios>	"I ... I noticed that. But still ... " I pause, looking down. "I ... I was hoping that she would be small like me, but she ... she wasn't. We hoped that you might know why."
Nov 02 14:05:08 <dimwit105>	She opens her mouth, letting you stare into the gaping maw for but a moment, before she closes it a little, saying, "She was devoured, no?"
Nov 02 14:05:48 <Arios>	"She had ... she had a large hole in her. If that is what you mean. I don't think I did?" I ask, looking at Jayko
Nov 02 14:10:18 <dimwit105>	"Y-you w-were un-t-touched", Jayko says, trying to space his mother from you, unsuccessfully, as she sits down right next to you, towering over your tiny green body, watching. Jaykos mother continues, saying, "Ive seen phoenixes die before, this is usually what happens... but the devoured ones... they dont come back... not sure why" At this point, Jaykos mother is licking her lips while looking at you
Nov 02 14:11:34 <Arios>	I step back, ucomfortable, saying. "We were going to look for her star. Maybe she came back there. I hope she did anyways"
Nov 02 14:14:55 <dimwit105>	"Hmmm... stars... they arent hard to see... but are... hard to find", she says as she approaches you again, which makes Jayko seem concerned. He doesnt say anything, but gets beside you, as if to protect you
Nov 02 14:16:12 <Arios>	I move below Jayko, slightly scared now. "You ... you aren't going to eat me ... are you?"
Nov 02 14:19:53 <dimwit105>	She steps back a bit, saying, "Oh... no, sorry if I scared you, its just... been a while, thats all" She still licks her lips, and watches you carefully
Nov 02 14:21:15 <Arios>	"How .... how often do you ... ... well, hunt us?"
Nov 02 14:21:27 <Arios>	I continue to stay below Jayko, just in case
Nov 02 14:21:36 <Arios>	though I do losen up somewha
Nov 02 14:21:37 <Arios>	t
Nov 02 14:26:44 <dimwit105>	"Well... whenever I want to, which isnt often granted, but it happens...", she says as she squats down to look you in the eyes, still licking her lips. "I wouldnt eat you anyways... too small, not enough of a challenge..."
Nov 02 14:28:51 <Arios>	"But ... but why? We live and think just like you do! It's like killing one of your own! For what!?" I say, agitated, though I try not to throw too much of a fit
Nov 02 14:31:39 <dimwit105>	"Well, its fun... tasty... and healthy... something about you... it helps mend scars, restore lost parts... and heal"
Nov 02 14:33:31 <Arios>	"But you are murdering our kind! imagine one of us eating Jayko! That is horrible!" I reply, before calming myself down
Nov 02 14:35:32 <dimwit105>	"It is nature, little one, you would do the same in my position", She says, getting upset, and a little aggressive towards you
Nov 02 14:36:10 <Arios>	I back away "I didn't mean to ... I'm sorry. It's just ...."
Nov 02 14:37:25 <dimwit105>	"Its just what?", she says, right in front of you, threatening to shove Jayko back
Nov 02 14:39:03 <Arios>	"I ... It's hard to ... get. It's ... you are killing my own kind. My friend. I ...." I don't continue and just stay silent
Nov 02 14:41:23 <dimwit105>	She grunts, backs off a bit and looks at Jayko with a disappointed, borderline angry face, before walking away, all the way away
Nov 02 14:42:08 <Arios>	I crawl out from underneath Jayko and look at him: "Sorry"
Nov 02 14:42:43 <dimwit105>	He sighs, and says, "I sh-should have t-told y-you m-mother h-has a t-temper"
Nov 02 14:43:49 <Arios>	"It's ... It's alright." I say. "At least we know that I will grow up again" I pause for a moment, then say: "So, this is your home? It's ... so dark"
Nov 02 14:46:01 <dimwit105>	"W-well, we a-arent b-bright like y-you", he says, picking you up from below him, and placing you on his back
Nov 02 14:46:22 <Arios>	"Is ... is there anything here? And I just can't see it?"
Nov 02 14:47:29 <dimwit105>	"Y-you cant see?"
Nov 02 14:48:03 <Arios>	"It's just dark for me" I try to look around, in an attempt to spot anything that stands out...
Nov 02 14:49:57 <dimwit105>	You can only see as far as your light extends, while Jayko says, "I c-can s-see thr-through the d-darkness"
Nov 02 14:50:49 <Arios>	"Aha..." I say, somewhat confused. "So what do you see right now?"
Nov 02 14:51:33 <dimwit105>	"Th-there is-isnt m-much t-to see, b-but I s-saw m-mother g-go in-inside"
Nov 02 14:54:46 <Arios>	"... inside? This place has an inside?"
Nov 02 14:55:18 <dimwit105>	"E-every st-star h-has an in-inside... at l-least th-the n-nox ones"
Nov 02 14:57:31 <Arios>	"I'm not sure if ours do. Should we find out now?" I ask Jayko, somewhat nervous
Nov 02 14:58:21 <dimwit105>	"W-we h-have a r-red st-star to find... or I a-assume i-its r-red... we c-can te-test it th-there"
Nov 02 15:00:55 <Arios>	"Yes" I say. "Should we go then?" I say, as I make myself comfortable within Jaykos plumage
Nov 02 15:02:08 <dimwit105>	"Y-yes, m-many so-soft fr-friends t-to f-find"
Nov 02 15:04:42 <Arios>	"And your brother, perhaps. Let's go then"
Nov 02 15:05:56 <dimwit105>	Jayko spreads his wings, and gives them a few powerful flaps, generating the lift he needs to carry both of you away from the dark star. "B-but wh-where t-to st-start?"
Nov 02 15:06:39 <Arios>	"She said that he had been chasing her ever since she left her star. And that it started when he flew too close to your home"
Nov 02 15:06:59 <Arios>	"So it should be around here somewhere" I peek out of his feathers, trying to spot any distant stars....
Nov 02 15:09:43 <dimwit105>	You look around, and although your eyes dont see anything, you do feel something, something shining on you, like a distant warmth touching a single point on your body. You can feel where its coming from, but not what it is
Nov 02 15:10:30 <Arios>	"I ... am feeling something. Something warm. It's coming from ... uh ... over there, roughly"
Nov 02 15:10:44 <Arios>	"I'm not sure if it's a star, but I think that's our best guess"
Nov 02 15:11:52 <dimwit105>	"Wh-what? I-I do-dont s-see an-anything"
Nov 02 15:12:16 <Arios>	"Me neither. But I can feel ... it. I'm not sure"
Nov 02 15:12:20 <Arios>	"Should we try it?"
Nov 02 15:13:09 <dimwit105>	"W-Why not?"
Nov 02 15:14:05 <Arios>	"Well then" I say as I retreat back
Nov 02 15:14:29 <dimwit105>	"O-off w-we g-go!"
Nov 02 15:15:28 <dimwit105>	Jayko moves forward with great speed, towards the spot you pointed to
Nov 02 15:16:19 <Arios>	I sit back, looking for anything other than darkness while he flies towards the source of the warmth
Nov 02 15:20:04 <dimwit105>	The two of you fly through space as fast as he can, towards the feeling of warmth. After a few hours, the feeling becomes stronger and stronger, but you dont see anything for a while, though you do near a soft snoring come from Jayko, as he drifts through space
Nov 02 15:22:24 <Arios>	I decide not to wake him until something else happens
Nov 02 15:24:58 <dimwit105>	You continue to drift, for about 13 total hours, before you see a tiny speck of light, so far in the distance, it seems like a mirage. Jayko still sleeps beneath you, occasionally moving, forcing you to grab onto his feathers to stay put
Nov 02 15:26:08 <Arios>	I decide to wake him up by carefully pecking at his neck
Nov 02 15:26:15 <Arios>	"Hey! Jayko! There is a light!"
Nov 02 15:28:52 <dimwit105>	He wakes up with a sneeze, spins around, kicking you out of his feathers, as he flails around, saying "Wh-what? Wh-whats ha-happening?!" in a bit of a panic
Nov 02 15:30:03 <Arios>	"Hey! Over here!" I scree, making sure that he doesnt loose me while also turning up my own brightness. "You lost me!"
Nov 02 15:32:29 <dimwit105>	He flips around and lets out a sigh of relief, "O-oh... phew... b-bad dr-dreams this sleep...", he says, arriving at you, but doesnt grab you, leaving it to you to reenter his feathers
Nov 02 15:33:17 <Arios>	I grasp onto his feathers and make sure I have a good grip before saying: "There is a light over there. Can you see it?"
Nov 02 15:33:49 <dimwit105>	"Y-yes! V-very mu-much so! Is th-this the st-star w-we are se-searching f-for?"
Nov 02 15:35:20 <Arios>	"I hope so. Let's find out!"
Nov 02 15:35:46 <Arios>	"... You said something about a dream. Do you want to .... talk about it? Or no?"
Nov 02 15:36:51 <dimwit105>	"Its... its f-fine, l-lets j-just fi-find yo-your m-mate"
Nov 02 15:37:22 <Arios>	"If you say so" I say
Nov 02 15:40:21 <dimwit105>	Jayko accelerates forward towards the light, which gets brighter and brighter. 2 hours later, and you are much much closer to it, letting you see its true colors, as a huge red star is here, spewing tons of heat and light to the surrounding area, especially to you, it feels homey in this warmth.
Nov 02 15:42:16 <Arios>	"It's red, just like her. I really hope this is it... " I start getting excited which is followed by me looking around, trying to make our her shape on the surface......
Nov 02 15:43:36 <dimwit105>	You scour the surface for her, but see nothing but the red surface here. Theres lots of surface to cover though, assuming she is on her star.
Nov 02 15:44:37 <Arios>	"She is probably very small too, it could be hard to find her. And ... she might get scared if she sees you"
Nov 02 15:44:54 <Arios>	"Do you think you can stay behind me while I look around?"
Nov 02 15:45:16 <dimwit105>	"H-how wi-will you fl-fly?"
Nov 02 15:45:27 <Arios>	"right....."
Nov 02 15:45:49 <Arios>	"maybe she is inside?"
Nov 02 15:45:57 <Arios>	"you said that the stars might have an inside"
Nov 02 15:46:41 <dimwit105>	"Sh-should we l-land? If s-she is an-anything l-like mo-mother, sh-she wi-will feel u-us land"
Nov 02 15:47:15 <Arios>	"Good idea" I say. "I will move away a bit once we land - just in case"
Nov 02 15:48:27 <dimwit105>	"I-dont th-think sh-she wi-will m-mind m-me", he says, as he goes to land
Nov 02 15:49:33 <Arios>	"Keep in mind, if she is there she will be small. And you will be huge"
Nov 02 15:49:41 <Arios>	"And she is still scared of your kind"
Nov 02 15:49:48 <Arios>	"I hope she doesn't though"
Nov 02 15:51:35 <dimwit105>	Jayko lands on the red star, much softer than his last landing. He takes a look around, squinting his eyes as he does so. "See her?", he asks, sitting down
Nov 02 15:52:55 <Arios>	I look as well, attempting to make out any shape or form that would resemble her
Nov 02 15:54:29 <dimwit105>	You look around, but dont see any birds, just a bubbling sea of red plasma, while Jayko walks around, seemingly aimlessly
Nov 02 15:54:56 <Arios>	"should I look inside? How do i do that?"
Nov 02 15:55:40 <dimwit105>	"I do-dont know, I c-could ne-never go in-inside li-like mother could"
Nov 02 15:58:12 <Arios>	"Oh", I say, slightly disappointed. "Let's see..." I say, as I jump down from his back, investigating the ground below me.
Nov 02 16:00:21 <dimwit105>	You hop down to the red surface, which seemingly welcomes you. Jayko watches you intensely, seeing what you might do
Nov 02 16:01:09 <Arios>	Before I start investigating any further, I inhale and screech as loud as I can "Hey! Can you hear me?"
Nov 02 16:02:32 <dimwit105>	"Y-yes! L-loud and cl-clear!", Jayko chirps, as he steps away from you. Although you do hear a second chirp, one that belongs to neither you nor Jayko
Nov 02 16:05:03 <Arios>	"Not you" I giggle, "I heard someone else too. AGAIN? WHERE ARE YOU?" I chirp as loud as before, trying to pinpoint the direction
Nov 02 16:07:31 <dimwit105>	You hear another chirp, along with tiny talons walking around. Jayko lets out a low and quiet chirp, as if to get your attention, before flying away, just a few meters away, not far
Nov 02 16:08:55 <Arios>	I chirp again, starting to move into the direction of the other chirp sound
Nov 02 16:11:10 <dimwit105>	You spin around, to look at the origin of the chirp. You end up looking towards Jayko, who bends over and picks up a tiny red bird. The little bird is obviously very upset about it, flailing its wings which are only covered in down feathers. It constantly screeches and chirps, as Jayko approaches you, carrying the bird
Nov 02 16:13:09 <Arios>	"You can let her go!" I say, in a mix of amusement and ecstasy as I see
Nov 02 16:13:11 <Arios>	her
Nov 02 16:13:29 <Arios>	"You're alive!" I scre as I rush towards the two
Nov 02 16:15:17 <dimwit105>	Jayko drops the red bird, who flops on the ground, and runs all the way up to you, brushing her down feathers against yours, before hiding from Jayko a bit, behind you, even though she is quite a bit bigger than you
Nov 02 16:16:22 <Arios>	I cuddle up to her, just glad that she is indeed alive
Nov 02 16:18:49 <dimwit105>	Jayko seems happy to see her too, but she is terrified, and her tiny little heart is pounding as you cuddle with her
Nov 02 16:19:53 <Arios>	"You're alive!" I say, incredibly happy, not even realizing the state she is in right now. "Are... are you alright? Your heart is beating so fast?"
Nov 02 16:22:08 <dimwit105>	"I th-think I w-will leave f-for a mom-moment", Jayko says, stepping back, and taking flight, getting some distance
Nov 02 16:24:16 <Arios>	It takes me a secoond to realize that he might be the source of her discomfort. I then say "Don't worry, he is with us. Oh I'm so glad you're alright" I say, attempting to embrace her with my tiny wings
Nov 02 16:25:56 <dimwit105>	As you hug her, she hugs back, and says, "Im so glad youre back with me! Everything without you has been horrible"

Nov 04 11:39:55 *	Now talking on #sidebirb
Nov 04 11:40:23 <Arios>	"I'm so glad you're alive" I respond, holding her tight
Nov 04 11:41:59 <dimwit105>	She loosens her grip on you, saying, "Easy... Im a tiny bird now"
Nov 04 11:44:43 <Arios>	"Well, so am I!" I squawk
Nov 04 11:44:55 <Arios>	"Though I'm not sure why..."
Nov 04 11:47:01 <dimwit105>	"I feel so... powerless... I want to be big again!", she says, almost trying to break free of your grip, though in a playful manner
Nov 04 11:50:12 <Arios>	"I think it will just take time. At least that's what the Nox said....". I pretend to struggle a bit, then let her "break" free
Nov 04 11:53:17 <dimwit105>	Her energies die down when you mention the Nox, and she looks around, saying, "Where did he go...", suddenly less playful
Nov 04 11:55:42 <Arios>	"Don't worry, he is on our side. He helped me get back on my feet and then flew me here. He wants to help us" I reply
Nov 04 11:55:57 <dimwit105>	"Help us? Help us do what?"
Nov 04 11:57:47 <Arios>	I lower my voice a bit "I'm not so sure at this point. He wanted to protect us from his brother, but ... well..." I look down "he got you in the end"
Nov 04 11:58:03 <Arios>	*",didn't he"
Nov 04 11:59:28 <dimwit105>	"It... it was horrible... I remember every bit of it..."
Nov 04 12:00:18 <Arios>	"I... I'm sorry" I say, closing in again. "I tried to protect you ... but I failed"
Nov 04 12:00:44 <Arios>	After a short pause, I add: "This is my fault. I'm so sorry"
Nov 04 12:02:36 <dimwit105>	"You were fighting the inevitable... I couldnt be happier for what you did, even if it didnt work out"
Nov 04 12:05:12 <Arios>	"T-Thank you. It's just ...."
Nov 04 12:05:18 <Arios>	"I feel like I could have done better"
Nov 04 12:05:24 <Arios>	"Not been so stupid"
Nov 04 12:06:47 <dimwit105>	"Its okay, its all in the past, we can move on from that now... I hope"
Nov 04 12:07:12 <Arios>	"I hope so too"
Nov 04 12:07:37 <Arios>	"I don't think he knows that you are alive again.... at least his mother said that you were probably gone"
Nov 04 12:07:43 <Arios>	"But I refused to believe that"
Nov 04 12:08:00 <dimwit105>	"You talked to his mother?"
Nov 04 12:09:25 <Arios>	"...Yes. Jayko said that she might know more about why I didn't die and he took us to her, well star. Not one of our stars, it was pitch-dark. But she told me that we Phoenixes come back when we still have our cores. And she said that Phoenixes that have their cores eaten don't"
Nov 04 12:09:40 <Arios>	"She was wrong on that second one I guess" I say, as I go in for a second hug
Nov 04 12:10:11 <Arios>	"I guess her son probably believes it too though"
Nov 04 12:10:16 <dimwit105>	"Jayko?", she asks, confused as you hug her
Nov 04 12:10:27 <Arios>	"The Nox that helped me
Nov 04 12:10:36 <Arios>	"His name is Jayko"
Nov 04 12:10:57 <dimwit105>	"I dont understand what he wants"
Nov 04 12:11:09 <dimwit105>	"Why is he helping you?"
Nov 04 12:11:55 <Arios>	"I promised that I would help him get his brother back, remember?"
Nov 04 12:12:18 <Arios>	"I'm not sure if its possible, but I will try" I pause - "without endangering you of course"
Nov 04 12:12:48 <dimwit105>	"His brother doesnt deserve to get helped", she says coldly, and most sincere
Nov 04 12:14:11 <Arios>	"Maybe" I say. But maybe there are other Phoenixes that could be saved from him. We will have to see"
Nov 04 12:14:39 <Arios>	"It's not like we can do anything right now anyways" I continue, as I shift my attention to our tiny bodies
Nov 04 12:15:13 <dimwit105>	"No, not maybe, most definitely. He deserves a slow, and painful death, just like the one he gave me"
Nov 04 12:16:17 <Arios>	"Well, we've got enough time to think about that" I say, trying to lighten up the mood a bit. "But for now, I'm just glad that you're ok!"
Nov 04 12:18:01 <dimwit105>	"I suppose", she says, sitting down, sifting through her down feathers with her tiny beak, seemingly having an itch under her right wing
Nov 04 12:19:07 <Arios>	I start to peck around at the same spot, in a mixture of helping her and play
Nov 04 12:21:08 <dimwit105>	She lets out a tiny playful chirp, which is higher pitched given her small body, before standing up, and getting back at you, pushing you over on your side
Nov 04 12:21:47 <Arios>	I lay on my back and open my wings, pretending to play dead, though not before letting out a playful chirp
Nov 04 12:22:32 <dimwit105>	She steps on top of your chest, and is surprisingly heavy given her tiny weight, then pecks at the side of your body
Nov 04 12:23:39 <Arios>	I pretend to fight back with my talons by flailing them around, making sure not to accidentally hit her
Nov 04 12:25:18 <dimwit105>	She spins around, grabs your flailing talons with her beak, then hops off, before dragging you across her star
Nov 04 12:26:24 <Arios>	I laugh, while asking: "Hey! Where are we going?"
Nov 04 12:28:08 <dimwit105>	"Wherever I want!", she says, continuing to pull you away, which happens to be in the direction Jayko flied
Nov 04 12:29:31 <Arios>	"Just so you know - Jayko is somewhere over there I think. Just so you don't get surprised" I chirp
Nov 04 12:30:26 <dimwit105>	"Oh please, you think thats going to set you free?"
Nov 04 12:32:01 <Arios>	I shift my tone to a sincere voice: "No, I'm actually serious. But I'm sure he won't mind"
Nov 04 12:34:17 <dimwit105>	The red bird seems frustrated, and starts spinning around in place, lifting you off the ground
Nov 04 12:34:48 <Arios>	"Hm? You're ok?" I ask, not sure what to make out of this
Nov 04 12:35:41 <dimwit105>	She spins you faster and faster, and you feel yourself pulling away from her, only stopped by her tight grip
Nov 04 12:36:57 <Arios>	I'm not sure what she is trying to accomplish, but I decide to roll with it
Nov 04 12:39:49 <dimwit105>	Faster and faster she goes, the forces on you becoming stronger and stronger, before she lets go, and the forces act unrestrained. You fly again, away from the red bird, soaring through the air at a speed thats much faster than you had expected
Nov 04 12:40:37 <Arios>	"Woooooo" I scree, while trying to get my flight under control, at least somewhat
Nov 04 12:43:39 <dimwit105>	This flight has no control, as your wings prove completely ineffective without any actual feathers to them, turning your attempts into worthless flailing
Nov 04 12:44:52 <Arios>	"Catch me!" I shout, only half-serious while pretenting to use my wings effectively
Nov 04 12:45:59 <dimwit105>	"If you think about it, I will be!", she says, as she follows you on the ground
Nov 04 12:46:52 <Arios>	While I'm still 'flying' I take a look around, inspecting the large red star
Nov 04 12:49:27 <dimwit105>	The red star is properly massive, as its calm surface zips below you, brightly shining in all directions, except for a little black spot below, which Jayko is sitting on, peacefully cleaning his feathers as you head straight towards him
Nov 04 12:50:02 <Arios>	"Hey Jayko! Watch out!" I scream, trying to warn him
Nov 04 12:51:25 <dimwit105>	He stands up, looks around, towards the ground, not expecting you to be in the air. He has a confused look as he spins around, wondering who shouted his name
Nov 04 12:52:00 <Arios>	"Up here!"
Nov 04 12:53:21 <dimwit105>	He looks up, just in time to see a little green birdie smash into him, which he answers with a squawk, as you bounce off of him and flop to the ground
Nov 04 12:54:26 <Arios>	I get back up and turn towards him: "Sorry about that. You're alright?"
Nov 04 12:55:25 <dimwit105>	"M-me? You th-think y-your t-tiny body wo-would h-hurt me? Wh-what about y-you?"
Nov 04 12:55:52 <Arios>	I inspect my own body really quick
Nov 04 12:56:26 <dimwit105>	remarkably, even after slamming into Jayko, youre okay, no injuries at all
Nov 04 12:57:37 <Arios>	"I'm good, don't worry. But that was awesome!" I say, a lot of excitement in my voice
Nov 04 12:58:00 <dimwit105>	"How di-did y-you get u-up th-there anyways?"
Nov 04 12:58:50 <Arios>	"We were playing and she threw me into the air! It's fun!" I then turn around, shouting: "Hey, where are you? That was great!"
Nov 04 13:00:26 <dimwit105>	You turn around, and realize you covered quite a bit of distance, and can no longer see the red bird, although she could still be there, just blending in with the red surface which perfectly matches her.
Nov 04 13:02:07 <Arios>	I suddenly get an idea "Hey, can you fly me up and drop me on her? She is somewhere in that direction" I say to Jayko, pointing with my left wing
Nov 04 13:03:31 <dimwit105>	"W-will she pa-panic?"
Nov 04 13:04:27 <Arios>	"Good point" I reply, a bit dissapointed. "Let's just try to find her then...." I start waddling around on the surface of the star, looking for her
Nov 04 13:06:06 <dimwit105>	"Wh-when wi-will sh-she n-not panic?", Jayko asks, as you move away, still not quite finding her
Nov 04 13:07:59 <Arios>	"I think it willl take time. But we've got plenty of that" I say, turnning around and exposing my rather tiny body. "Let's just keep some distance" I tell Jayke, before continuing to look around, ocasionally shouting: "Where are you?"
Nov 04 13:09:51 <dimwit105>	You walk away from Jayko, and he walks away from you, before you hear a loud chirp say, "Over here!", before seeing a tiny red bird waddle towards you
Nov 04 13:14:24 <Arios>	"Oh there you are. That was fun!" I say, my voice being full of excitement again
Nov 04 13:14:48 <dimwit105>	"That was exhausting!", she replies, before she collapses right at your feet
Nov 04 13:15:10 <Arios>	"You manged to throw me right against Jayko!" I add, somewhat impressed
Nov 04 13:15:15 <Arios>	"Do you want to fly too?" I ask her
Nov 04 13:15:50 <dimwit105>	"Id fall asleep before I hit the ground", she says
Nov 04 13:18:13 <Arios>	"Awww. We can do that later maybe" I say, slightly dissapointed. "So you just want to sleep then?"
Nov 04 13:18:45 <dimwit105>	"Dont you?"
Nov 04 13:21:45 <Arios>	"Oh no, it's alright" I say, laying down next to her
Nov 04 13:23:52 <dimwit105>	She embraces this, snuggling up close to you, letting you feel her feathers mix with yours, you even feel her purring ever so slightly, truly content with where she is
Nov 04 13:24:55 <Arios>	I enjoy the feeling of warmth and cuddle close to her, eventually deciding to fall asleep with her
Nov 04 13:27:36 <dimwit105>	You have a long, and peaceful sleep at the end of a busy day, which is only interrupted by your own will to wake up. Slowly, you blink your eyes, and start to stir, while the red bird readjusts herself against you, still asleep.

Nov 06 06:48:50 *	Now talking on #sidebirb
Nov 06 06:52:13 <Arios>	I take a look around, still a bit groggy, looking for Jayko
Nov 06 06:55:03 <dimwit105>	You twist yourself around, to see Jayko standing above the red bird, and by extension you. Hes looking down towards the two of you, with adoring eyes, and a tilted look
Nov 06 06:56:51 <Arios>	I look up towards him, before turning my attention to the red bird. I decide to let her sleep till she wakes up herself
Nov 06 06:59:54 <dimwit105>	Jayko scoots around you two, and pushes you back into the position you were in when you were sleeping. His beak brushes against the beginning stubs of feathers as he does so, causing a small amount of irritation
Nov 06 07:01:05 <Arios>	"Huh?" I ask, in a surprised but low voice, trying not to wake up my friend. "What are you doing?"
Nov 06 07:01:55 <dimwit105>	"Aww.. dammit", he quietly says, "Well... it was fun while it lasted"
Nov 06 07:04:04 <dimwit105>	He backs up away from you, still watching
Nov 06 07:04:27 <Arios>	"Huh? What did you do?" I reply, still groggy and confused
Nov 06 07:05:40 <dimwit105>	"N-nothing...", he whispers, breaking his gaze from you
Nov 06 07:07:54 <Arios>	At this, I'm starting to get suspicios and take a closer look around. I'm trying to figure out anything that might be different from when i went to sleep...
Nov 06 07:09:41 <dimwit105>	Everything is identical, save for a few loose nox feathers around
Nov 06 07:12:12 <Arios>	"Come on, you can tell me. What did you do?"
Nov 06 07:12:44 <dimwit105>	"What m-makes you th-think I d-did something?", he says, looking not innocent at all
Nov 06 07:15:14 <Arios>	"I know you did something." I say, while staring right at him, making sure to stay in his gaze
Nov 06 07:15:58 <dimwit105>	"Nope", he says cleanly, before burying his head into his feathers below him
Nov 06 07:21:02 <Arios>	"Oh, alright" I say, turning away from him. "You lost some feathers though..."
Nov 06 07:21:31 <dimwit105>	"I r-ripped th-them o-out!", he says, muffled through his own feathers
Nov 06 07:26:19 <Arios>	"of course you did...." I move over to my friend, making sure that she is still asleep
Nov 06 07:27:43 <dimwit105>	She is sound asleep, only moving slightly up and down as she breathes. Her feathers are coming back, as her body is covered with feather shafts, poking through her downs
Nov 06 07:29:56 <Arios>	"Well ... since she is still asleep I guess I'll sleep some more too" I say, laying down next to her, not actually planning on sleeping. I pretend to close my eyes and fall asleep, but I stay awake, watching every of Jaykos movements
Nov 06 07:32:03 <dimwit105>	"O-okay th-then", Jayko says, as you hear his feathers ruffle for a bit, though he doesnt do anything for about 15 minutes. At this point, he must be fooled by your illusion, as he starts stepping towards you again
Nov 06 07:34:01 <Arios>	I keep pretending to be asleep while remaining a very keen eye on him
Nov 06 07:36:55 <dimwit105>	He walks up to you, and lowers his beak towards you, before you feel it rubbing against your feathers and your skin, this continues for a moment, before he turns his head, letting the top of his head rub against you. His harsh feathers coarse edges almost grind against you, it isnt painful, but its certainly unpleasant
Nov 06 07:37:41 <Arios>	I keep myself together and let him do his thing
Nov 06 07:38:41 <dimwit105>	He rubs against you for a few more minutes, before finally stopping, and stepping back to look at you again.
Nov 06 07:39:22 <Arios>	I wait for a few more moments, seeing if he does anything else
Nov 06 07:39:48 <dimwit105>	He does not, and the reason quickly becomes obvious, as you feel your companion begin to stir
Nov 06 07:41:32 <Arios>	I decide to wait ... not wanting to wake the red bird while a Nox is rubbing against her
Nov 06 07:45:27 <dimwit105>	The red bird moves more and more, waking anyways, though appearently not noticing the nox yet
Nov 06 07:47:19 <Arios>	"I think she'll wake soon" I say to Jayko in a somewhat playful voice. "You might want to step back"
Nov 06 07:49:37 <dimwit105>	He chirps in surprise, which immediately causes the red birds head to twitch, causing a similar reaction from her, though with much more fear
Nov 06 07:52:06 <Arios>	I get up, signalling Jayko to get some distance to her. "Hey! You're awake"
Nov 06 07:54:23 <dimwit105>	Jayko backs up, as the red birb fluffs up as big as she can, squawking at him. Given her size and half feathers, its more adorable than it is threatening, which is evidenced by Jaykos laugh as he steps back
Nov 06 07:56:16 <Arios>	I cant help but giggle at the sight of a big black bird fleeing from a rather small but very angry red birb
Nov 06 07:58:15 <dimwit105>	He continues his flight, as the red bird continuously squawks. This spectacle goes on until Jayko eventually takes flight, leaving the two of you on the ground
Nov 06 07:58:58 <Arios>	"Well, good morning" I squawk, still a bit entertained
Nov 06 07:59:38 <dimwit105>	She stares at Jayko for a bit, as her half feathers deflate. After a moment of quiet, she looks at you, and says, "Well, it could have been"
Nov 06 08:01:09 <Arios>	"Ah, don't worry. He didn't mean any harm. He was merley curios"
Nov 06 08:01:26 <Arios>	"Well, how do you feel?"
Nov 06 08:01:59 <dimwit105>	"A little sore", she says, before pecking at the base of her half feathers
Nov 06 08:02:33 <Arios>	"Your feathers are coming back again. That's good" I say, while looking at my own plumage
Nov 06 08:03:07 <dimwit105>	Yours are a little further behind, maybe quarter feathers, poking through your downs. You still have a ways to go
Nov 06 08:05:02 <Arios>	"That reminds me ..."
Nov 06 08:05:09 <Arios>	"Remember when I asked you for your name?"
Nov 06 08:05:14 <dimwit105>	"No"
Nov 06 08:06:10 <Arios>	"You don't?"
Nov 06 08:06:35 <dimwit105>	"No, I dont remember"
Nov 06 08:07:12 <Arios>	"Back when we first fled from his brother" - I glance up and look around for Jayko - "I asked you whether you had a name. And I also told you mine. You said you didn't have a name, so I told you to think of one"
Nov 06 08:07:35 <Arios>	"Well, did you?"
Nov 06 08:07:54 <dimwit105>	She pauses for a second, then says quietly, almost ashamed, "Well... no"
Nov 06 08:10:58 <Arios>	"Would ... would you mind if I gave you one then?" I say, a bit shy
Nov 06 08:11:40 <dimwit105>	"Why would I?", she asks, a little confused as why youre so shy, "I wont let you give me one I dont like"
Nov 06 08:12:08 <Arios>	"Well, I have thought of one." I say, before pausing for a moment. "Rei"
Nov 06 08:13:38 <dimwit105>	"Rei?", she repeats, "How did you develop this?"
Nov 06 08:15:37 <Arios>	I'm ... I'm not sure. It just popped into my head one day. Sounds a bit like red, which fits ... I think... And it's short. .... And I think it sounds wonderful" I say, still incredibly shy for some reason
Nov 06 08:16:42 <dimwit105>	She looks at you for a second, then looks at herself. After a moment, she looks back at you, a smiling, happy face, which procedes to say, "I will be Rei"
Nov 06 08:17:09 *	Thane (~Thane_GER@x2f7f981.dyn.telefonica.de) has joined
Nov 06 08:18:12 <Thane>	I approach her, relieved. "Rei" I repeat while looking in her eyes
Nov 06 08:19:21 <dimwit105>	She approaches you, getting close enough to let your feathers touch. "Arios", she says
Nov 06 08:19:55 <Thane>	"You remembered my name!" I squawk, before putting my head on her shoulder
Nov 06 08:20:25 <dimwit105>	"It took a minute", she says, putting her head on your shoulder
Nov 06 08:20:33 *	Arios has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
Nov 06 08:21:37 <Thane>	"I'm just glad you did" I reply, enjoying the momen
Nov 06 08:21:42 <Thane>	moment*
Nov 06 08:23:19 <dimwit105>	You rest your head on her, and see Jayko behind her, watching from a distance. He his approaching one step at a time, slowly but surely
Nov 06 08:25:05 <Thane>	I signal Jayko to wait for a moment longer
Nov 06 08:25:49 <dimwit105>	He doesnt seem to understand, as he approaches even closer, and at a faster pace
Nov 06 08:27:34 <Thane>	I stand up and look at Jayko: "Can you wait for a moment please?"
Nov 06 08:28:18 <dimwit105>	This makes Jayko freeze, but Rei speaks up, asking "Wait for what?"
Nov 06 08:28:55 <Thane>	"A moment" I repeat, thinking she just didnt hear the word right
Nov 06 08:29:29 <dimwit105>	She backs up a bit, and asks again, "I get that, but what are we waiting for?"
Nov 06 08:30:08 <Thane>	"Well, I thought you just wouldn't like it if he came right at you" I reply
Nov 06 08:31:06 <Thane>	I add: "Jayko is over there", pointing towards him
Nov 06 08:32:44 <dimwit105>	She turns around to see a sneaking Jayko behind her. Once again, she starts fluffing out, and Screeches, "Jayko! Stay away!"
Nov 06 08:34:04 <Thane>	"He won't do anything" I say, calmly
Nov 06 08:35:33 <dimwit105>	Jayko takes another step closer, much to Rei's distress, as she screeches some more, "Im warning you!" You can feel the star beneath you become squishier, and warmer the closer, Jayko approaches
Nov 06 08:36:45 <Thane>	"He's not our enemy. He's our friend Rei. You don't have to be afraid" I say, trying to calm her. I look up to Jayko....
Nov 06 08:38:36 <dimwit105>	Jayko gets closer, he is alarmingly close now, mere meters away, as Rei keeps squawking at the silent nox, who does not seem to fear the liquefying surface beneath him, nor the increased heat.
Nov 06 08:39:20 <Thane>	"Jayko, please. Listen to her" I say, looking at him
Nov 06 08:42:50 <dimwit105>	He doesnt, and steps closer to the much distressed Rei, with a disturbing look in his eyes, almost like he is toying with her, wanting her to strike him. Shes about to in any case, as she readies herself for something, though its not obvious what
Nov 06 08:43:31 <Thane>	I step between the two and adress Jayko directly. "Jayko, please. Stand back a bit"
Nov 06 08:43:40 <Thane>	"You can see how unfomfortable she is"
Nov 06 08:45:22 <dimwit105>	"S-sorry", he says, with a limited amount of sincerity, before taking a single step back. Rei doesnt stand down though, staring right at this foul intruder to her home
Nov 06 08:45:51 <Thane>	"Jayko ... why are you doing this?" I ask, sincere and concerned
Nov 06 08:47:25 <dimwit105>	"I wa-want t-to cu-cuddle wi-with the bi-birdies! I ha-have n-no birds t-to cuddle with a-anymore"
Nov 06 08:48:34 <Thane>	"You ... you should have said that! I thought you were going to attack us" I say, making sure to make my voice sound very concerned. "I will cuddle with you - just ask"
Nov 06 08:49:40 <dimwit105>	"Wh-why w-would I at-attack you?", Jayko asks, genuinely confused, as Rei continues to keep her star warm and near liquid
Nov 06 08:50:32 <Thane>	"I don't know! It's just ... I didn't know what you were going to do, and you didnt stop moving"
Nov 06 08:50:44 <Thane>	"So i got a little scared. ... Why didn't you listen to her?"
Nov 06 08:51:01 <dimwit105>	"Be-because sh-she always s-says th-that!"
Nov 06 08:52:52 <Thane>	"She is still afraid of you." I reply, now closing in a bit. "Just .... just ask next time, okay? You want to cuddle?" I ask, moving even closer, right below his belly
Nov 06 08:54:36 <dimwit105>	Rei lets out a scared chirp as she watches you move in beneath Jayko. The ground becomes more solid, and the star cooler as you get beneath a rather excited Jayko, who brings his head down to look at you under there
Nov 06 08:56:32 <Thane>	"Don't worry Rei, he said it - he just wants to cuddle" I try to calm her down while getting ready to "cuddle" with Jayko
Nov 06 08:58:46 <dimwit105>	He looks at you for a moment, before he sits on top of you, absorbing you in his course feathers. While youre stuck between the ground in Jayko, you hear Rei outside squawking up a storm again
Nov 06 08:59:46 <Thane>	"I'm alright" I say, while trying to get my head out from below Jayko
Nov 06 09:01:41 <dimwit105>	You stick your head out from under Jayko, pushing through his rough feathers. From this, only your head sticks out, to see Jaykos head looking down at you, and a very heated Rei, both literally and figuratively, as flames occasionally spew off of her body
Nov 06 09:02:37 <Thane>	"Rei!" I squawk. "I'm alright! What's the matter?"
Nov 06 09:03:34 <dimwit105>	"He just sat on you! He could have crushed you! You said he was on our side though!"
Nov 06 09:04:41 <Thane>	"He is! He wants to cuddle - of course he will sit on me" I look up to Jayko. "Are you ok?"
Nov 06 09:05:22 <dimwit105>	"L-lit-little ones a-are so s-soft", he says to you, scratching the top of your head, before looking back at Rei
Nov 06 09:05:51 <dimwit105>	"Thats a cuddle?!", Rei asks, surprised and confused
Nov 06 09:06:32 <Thane>	"One form of it I guess" After a short pause: "A Nox cuddle"
Nov 06 09:07:17 <dimwit105>	"I sp-spent m-many d-days under mo-mother", Jayko replys, then looks at Rei's confused face
Nov 06 09:09:19 <dimwit105>	"I...", Rei says, clearly unsure what to think
Nov 06 09:10:07 <Thane>	"You see? He just wants someone to cuddle"
Nov 06 09:10:46 <dimwit105>	"Why?", Rei asks
Nov 06 09:11:59 <dimwit105>	"Why doesnt he cuddle with his own?"
Nov 06 09:13:05 <Thane>	"Because he can't. Remember? His brother is gone"
Nov 06 09:13:36 <Thane>	"He just wants some company. Is that too much to ask?"
Nov 06 09:14:02 <dimwit105>	"Yes", she says, completely serious
Nov 06 09:14:34 <Thane>	"Well I don't think so" I reply, as I move around below Jayko a bit
Nov 06 09:17:20 <dimwit105>	You wiggle around beneath Jayko, which makes him sqauwk happily, as Rei steps towards Jayko, still spewing flames, with a look of terror, determination, and curiosity, all baked into one face. The flames seem to make Jayko uncomfortable as she approaches
Nov 06 09:18:36 <Thane>	"Rei, come on. Let him be" I say, glad that Jayko is happy, though his feathers aren't excatly comfortable
Nov 06 09:20:08 <dimwit105>	She steps up, all the way to you, and looks you in the eyes. Jayko is chirping lowly, apparently scared of the fire Rei is brandishing before him
Nov 06 09:21:36 <Thane>	"Can you ... cool down a little?"
Nov 06 09:24:54 <dimwit105>	"Sure... just a little", she says, as her flames pull back, and she cools down, though not entirely
Nov 06 09:25:25 <Thane>	"Thanks. Think Jayko will appreciate it too" I look up towards him
Nov 06 09:26:06 <dimwit105>	"B-burns h-hurt", he says, as Rei watches him very carefully
Nov 06 09:26:57 <Thane>	"Well, not for us, I reply. But yea, no need for that fire right now"
Nov 06 09:30:34 <dimwit105>	"L-little bi-birdies get al-along wi-with b-big bi-birdie n-now?"
Nov 06 09:33:32 <Thane>	"I do, I think. I'm not sure about her though...."

Nov 07 07:02:17 *	Thane (~Thane_GER@x59cc87ad.dyn.telefonica.de) has joined
Nov 07 07:03:00 <dimwit105>	Rei proves her distrust, by staying on guard, and putting a bit more distance between her and the nox
Nov 07 07:04:36 <Thane>	"Rei" I say. "He is our friend. I trust him" while wiggling around below Jayko a bit more
Nov 07 07:06:29 <dimwit105>	Jayko chirps as your soft downs clash with his rough exterior feathers, he lowers his head to you, then turns it to look at Rei. She says, "I simply cant. Its that simple"
Nov 07 07:07:36 <Thane>	"I ... I see" I say. "But at least you're not afraid of him anymore. That's good" I say, as I crawl out from below Jayko and start approaching her. "Maybe with time....."
Nov 07 07:08:34 *	Thane has quit (Quit: Leaving)
Nov 07 07:11:12 <dimwit105>	"Time? What will time do?"
Nov 07 07:12:17 <Arios>	"We will have to see" I reply, as I close the distance to her
Nov 07 07:12:54 <dimwit105>	Jayko seems disappointed, as he puts his head down after you leave him, while Rei stays on edge, watching the raggedy black nox on her star
Nov 07 07:14:24 <Arios>	I turn around: "Aw, come on Jayko. I can't cuddle all day"
Nov 07 07:17:52 <dimwit105>	He lays there, quietly, just watching the pair of phoenixes in front of him. Rei starts walking away from him, with annoyed steps across her star
Nov 07 07:19:28 <Arios>	I decide to follow her, but not before wishing Jayko goodbye, at least for now
Nov 07 07:21:32 <dimwit105>	You catch up to Rei, who just seems to be putting more distance between her and Jayko, obviously irritated
Nov 07 07:22:51 <Arios>	"Hey" I say, not really sure what to say about that encounter
Nov 07 07:23:20 <dimwit105>	"What?", she asks, somewhat aggressively, carrying the irritation in her voice
Nov 07 07:24:56 <Arios>	"I ... I ... " I stutter, trying to start a sentence but failing miserably. "I don't know"
Nov 07 07:26:58 <dimwit105>	"Alright then", she says, as she keeps walking
Nov 07 07:29:03 <Arios>	"Y-you ... you did so m-much better than last time" I stutter as I finally manage to get out a coherent sentence. "You weren't afraid!"
Nov 07 07:29:41 <dimwit105>	"No, not anymore", she says, "At least not openly"
Nov 07 07:30:43 <Arios>	"That's really good" I reply, "Jayko told me that you should never be afraid of a Nox. You .... you looked quite impressive too"
Nov 07 07:30:51 <Arios>	I add: "Well, given our size, that is"
Nov 07 07:32:21 <dimwit105>	Her irritation fades, and she looks right at you, exposing her now excited face. "You really think so?", she asks
Nov 07 07:33:22 <Arios>	"Yes" I reply. "Well, you are still small of course, but if you were larger that would have very impressive, I think"
Nov 07 07:34:03 <dimwit105>	"Maybe once I have all my feathers back... I will take care of them this time, instead of letting them break and fall out"
Nov 07 07:35:12 <Arios>	I look at my own body and say "maybe I should do the same"
Nov 07 07:37:55 <dimwit105>	"New bodies, new chances", she says, "Just gotta get full size again... its taking so long"
Nov 07 07:39:01 <Arios>	I agree: "Yes. We will have lots of time to pass unil we are big again"
Nov 07 07:39:25 <dimwit105>	"What are we going to do for that long?"
Nov 07 07:41:14 <Arios>	"Have fun!" I say, pushing her over playfully
Nov 07 07:44:01 <dimwit105>	She laughs, squawks, and flails her little featherless wings as you push her over. From here, she uses her wings to push herself along her star, until she is right in front of you
Nov 07 07:47:31 <dimwit105>	She kicks her talons at you, while playfully biting the little bits of feathers still growing, attempting to pull you down
Nov 07 07:49:26 <Arios>	"That reminds me..." I laugh, grabbing her talons with my beak. "I still owe you a flight!"
Nov 07 07:49:54 <dimwit105>	She laughs a bit, and says, "You think you can lift me?"
Nov 07 07:50:43 <Arios>	"We'll see" I laugh back and start spinning, making sure I have a strong bite on her
Nov 07 07:53:54 <dimwit105>	You grab Rei, and start spinning around, drawing laughter as she circles around you. Around and round she goes, buildnig speed as you continue to spin
Nov 07 07:54:53 <Arios>	I keep spinning until I reach a point where I can just barely hold on. "You ready?!"
Nov 07 07:55:33 <dimwit105>	You can only assume yes, as Joyous laughter comes from Rei, as she lets her wings flail about in the spin
Nov 07 07:56:25 <Arios>	I spin around a few more times unitl I can't hold on anymore - then I let her fly
Nov 07 08:00:06 <dimwit105>	She screeches as she flies outwards, instinctively righting herself and attempting to fly with her limited wingpower. Off and off she goes, flailing and laughing, loosing a couple of feathers along the way, before she finally lands a significant distance away from you. 'Landing' being a kinder word, as it was closer to a tumble with the ground
Nov 07 08:01:50 <Arios>	I run over to her landing site, while laughing and shouting "I'm coming!"
Nov 07 08:02:59 <dimwit105>	She keeps laughing, and slowly rises to her feet, finally recovering just as you meet her, still laughing
Nov 07 08:04:21 <Arios>	"It's great, isn't it!" I laugh, somewhat exhausted
Nov 07 08:05:20 <dimwit105>	"Oh how I miss the feeling of flight!", she says, laughing dying down
Nov 07 08:09:11 <Arios>	"Me too" I reply. "But you are getting your feathers back already. Look!"
Nov 07 08:10:26 <dimwit105>	"Hehe, you too!", she says, pushing around your stubs, which still feel a little sore
Nov 07 08:11:38 <Arios>	"Yeah, we're getting bigger. Slowly" I say, while sitting down next to her
Nov 07 08:13:30 <Arios>	"I wonder if I should so something about these..." I say as I inspect my feathers
Nov 07 08:14:42 <dimwit105>	Theyre about one quarter of the way to flight length, and have yet to unravel to show their true glory. Until that moment, they remain pointy shafts which extrude from your down, with a little bit of fluff along it
Nov 07 08:15:07 <dimwit105>	"Appreciate them, appreciate how useful they are"
Nov 07 08:15:35 <Arios>	"Well, no. I meant that they feel a little ... sore"
Nov 07 08:15:41 <Arios>	"Do yours feel like that too?"
Nov 07 08:15:59 <dimwit105>	"Yeah, they still do", she says, pecking at them again
Nov 07 08:17:55 <Arios>	"Wonder if we can do something about that..." I say
Nov 07 08:19:54 <dimwit105>	"Nah, just gotta let it happen, its the same deal when you lose a whole lot of feathers, just gotta wait it out."
Nov 07 08:21:41 <Arios>	"Hm. If you say so..."
Nov 07 08:22:00 <dimwit105>	"I noticed something different today, did you?"
Nov 07 08:23:19 <Arios>	"I'm .. I'm not sure?"
Nov 07 08:24:27 <dimwit105>	"Well, look!", she says, getting a little excited
Nov 07 08:25:11 <Arios>	I'm not sure what she is going on about, so I just let her continue
Nov 07 08:26:01 <dimwit105>	She hops up and down, and looks up, saying, "Look!"
Nov 07 08:26:21 <Arios>	"What?" I ask, not sure what she means
Nov 07 08:26:28 <dimwit105>	"Look up!"
Nov 07 08:27:32 <Arios>	I look up at the sky, scanning it for anything out of the ordinary
Nov 07 08:29:21 <dimwit105>	You look upwards, and see a distant white dot, which almost seems to stare back. Its bright, unusually bright, but your instinct tells you it isnt a star, given its size
Nov 07 08:30:57 <Arios>	"Do you think .... that's one of those spheres that we explored?"
Nov 07 08:31:17 <dimwit105>	"Yes! I know it is! Look at it!"
Nov 07 08:31:50 <Arios>	I stare at it again, trying to make out any details....
Nov 07 08:34:32 <dimwit105>	You stare at the white dot, and quickly realize its so bright from the snow and ice that coat it. It rotates fast, alarmingly fast, showing the other side after a mere 13 seconds. Sometimes you can spot snow and ice that fly off of the world, and into the surrounding space
Nov 07 08:35:21 <Arios>	"It turns so fast ...." I say, surprised at my discovery
Nov 07 08:35:53 <dimwit105>	"I want to see it closer!", Rei says, hopping to get closer to it, before her own gravity pulls her back home
Nov 07 08:37:56 <Arios>	"I wonder how long it will stay" I reply. "It will take some time for us to be big enough to fly there"
Nov 07 08:39:16 <dimwit105>	"It needs to stay until I can get to it!"
Nov 07 08:40:16 <Arios>	"Well, let's see how quick it passes" I answer, hoping that it'll stay for some time. I lay on my back, observing the small white dot....
Nov 07 08:41:43 <dimwit105>	The little thing is moving, extremely slowly across the sky, its not going anywhere anytime soon
Nov 07 08:43:01 <Arios>	"It looks like we have enough time" I say in a happy voice
Nov 07 08:44:01 <dimwit105>	"You know, after all that running from that nox, I thought I would appreciate just a moment to sit down and relax, but the first thing I want to do is explore"
Nov 07 08:45:20 <Arios>	"You're not alone. But for now, we aren't going anywhere. I guess we could prepare ourselves a little..."
Nov 07 08:46:01 <dimwit105>	"How?"
Nov 07 08:46:58 <Arios>	"Well .... what's something that we might need when we get there?"
Nov 07 08:47:54 <dimwit105>	"Uh... things to stay warm?"
Nov 07 08:49:26 <Arios>	"Well .... sort of. I was thinking of fire. Using and channeling it. Like you did before"
Nov 07 08:49:38 <Arios>	"It can keep us warm and we can use it to defend ourselves"
Nov 07 08:50:07 <dimwit105>	"I dont know how that happened... it just appeared when I was getting worked up"
Nov 07 08:50:37 <Arios>	"I think we can learn to control it. Or at least I hope we can"
Nov 07 08:51:31 <dimwit105>	"Well, I always feel that fire there, it just got hotter then"
Nov 07 08:52:37 <Arios>	"So do I. And I was able to control it when I thought against these bird-things back then. I want to work on that. And I think it could help you too"
Nov 07 08:53:30 <dimwit105>	"Well, how do we do that?"
Nov 07 08:56:08 <Arios>	"I'm not sure" I reply. "Let me try..." I focus and try to conjure a small flame in front of my body
Nov 07 08:57:35 <dimwit105>	You attempt to summon a flame, and its successful, though it isnt where you want it. The flame comes from you, and is still attached to you, almost sticking to you as you use your energy to sustain it
Nov 07 08:58:25 <Arios>	"Try that, just focus on a small flame" I say, as I attempt to separate the small flame from my body....
Nov 07 09:01:14 <dimwit105>	Rei attempts to focus on a flame, as you seperate the flame from you, launching it far away as you fling it off of your wing. It arcs downwards the further it travels, until it disappears, and you hear an alarmed squawk off in the distance
Nov 07 09:02:37 <Arios>	"Sorry Jayko! That was me!" I shout, hoping that I didn't hurt him
Nov 07 09:03:49 <dimwit105>	"Hehe, you hit him?! Thats amazing!", Rei says, focus broken
Nov 07 09:04:34 <Arios>	"I didn't even mean to!" I say, a bit shocked that it went that far
Nov 07 09:05:02 <dimwit105>	"I want to hit Jayko!", she says, attempting to conjure fire
Nov 07 09:06:16 <Arios>	"No, please" I plead. "He's innoecent! And my friend"
Nov 07 09:06:24 <Arios>	"Let him be"
Nov 07 09:06:43 <Arios>	"Use it for your defense if need be, but do't attack him, okay?"
Nov 07 09:08:42 <dimwit105>	Her body becomes a little brighter, and flames exit out of her mouth. She cocks her head backwards, before thrusting it forward while opening it at the same time. A red fireball exits her mouth, and flies through the air in Jaykos general direction
Nov 07 09:09:35 <Arios>	"Jayko! Watch out!" I screech, worried, before turning towards Rei again, with a look of disappointment and anger on my face
Nov 07 09:11:03 <dimwit105>	She looks at you with a face of excitement, "I did it!" she shouts, "I spat fire!"
Nov 07 09:11:54 <Arios>	"You did - but at Jayko!" I say, with an expression somewhere between happiness and enragement
Nov 07 09:12:45 <dimwit105>	"Thats okay, I dont know what he is still doing here anyways"
Nov 07 09:13:57 <Arios>	"Taking care of us?! He wants company! And I promised I would help him, as did he" I'm genuinley upset at this point
Nov 07 09:15:15 <dimwit105>	"Hes fiiine", Rei says, genuinely unconcerned, not really taking what you said to heart
Nov 07 09:17:40 <Arios>	I move up to her, face to face. "You are not hurting Jayko. If you do, I will side with him"
Nov 07 09:17:49 <Arios>	"Did I make myself clear?"
Nov 07 09:18:02 <dimwit105>	"You really trust him that much, huh?"
Nov 07 09:19:39 <Arios>	"Yes, I do. You don't have to, but at least respect him please"
Nov 07 09:19:43 <Arios>	"Can we agree on that?"
Nov 07 09:24:03 <dimwit105>	"When I was bleeding on top of the water, his brother flew down to me, and landed on my own chest. He reeled his head back, and penetrated my with his hard beak, right to the core. He then proceeded to rip it right out, and eat it right there on top of me. It was the most painful thing I have ever felt, he couldnt just kill me, he had to see me suffer. Jayko is from the same breed, even the same family, he is capable of the
Nov 07 09:24:03 <dimwit105>	exact same thing. It doesnt matter what he says, or what he does, deep down, thats that he is"
Nov 07 09:27:55 <Arios>	"And you want to judge him on that? On what he is? Or where he is from? I think someone can change, get over his nature. Do things differenty than everyone else. Be better than everyone else. I don't judge someone on his or her nature, but on his actions. I understand that you don't trust him. You don't have to. But please, don't judge him on what he is. Judge him on what he does"

Nov 10 13:05:52 <Arios>	"That is why I said 'maybe with time' earlier" I reply as I look right at her. "I understand that you don't trust him - you don't have to. Maybe he will prove his worth as time goes on, but he sure won't if you attack him. And I will not let that happen. Let him be. If he attacks us you have every right to rip him apart.

Nov 10 13:06:20 <Arios>	"I also think that he can change. Just because he is a nox does not mean that he will betray us"
Nov 10 13:09:10 <blaxout1213>	Rei grunts at this, saying, "Maybe, but I dont want him around me, I have been tolerating him up to this point, but im not sure how much longer I will"
Nov 10 13:12:14 <Arios>	"Well .... "I say, "This is your star. If you want him to keep some distance, that is your choice. Just please be respectful about it." I look up to the small white spot in the sky and say "Maybe we can distract ourselves a bit up there...."
Nov 10 13:12:34 <Arios>	"Once we hvae wings big enough that is..."
Nov 10 13:13:17 <blaxout1213>	"Stupid feathers... they grow too slow...", she says pecking at her wings again
Nov 10 13:13:33 <Arios>	"They really do..."
Nov 10 13:14:13 <blaxout1213>	"I dont know whats worse, being grounded, or having your chest penetrated by a nox beak
Nov 10 13:15:38 <Arios>	"Think I'll take the latter one... " I mumble, before focusing again. "... What were we doing again?"
Nov 10 13:16:29 <blaxout1213>	"Getting some alone time, time away from the big black bird"
Nov 10 13:17:30 <Arios>	"So, should we ask him? Or do *you* want to ask him, rather? And please be respectful. He was too"
Nov 10 13:18:55 <blaxout1213>	"Id rather lob more fireballs at him, that was fun"
Nov 10 13:20:46 <Arios>	"Yea, and then he will lob his talons at you because he will defend himself." I sneer. "Do you really think that's a good idea? Nothing good could come out of that. Worst case he gets angry and eats us two for dinner, best case he gets annoyed at you. It's not worth it"  I then add, sincere, "If you attack him I'm leaving with him"
Nov 10 13:21:32 <blaxout1213>	"Hey! You hit him first!"
Nov 10 13:23:01 <Arios>	"That was an accident! I couldn't control it anymore"
Nov 10 13:23:20 <blaxout1213>	"Ooooh okay, sure", Rei adds, laughing
Nov 10 13:24:15 <Arios>	"It was, really!" I say, slightly upset
Nov 10 13:25:26 <blaxout1213>	"Well then you better look out for his talons then!", she says, still laughing
Nov 10 13:27:05 <Arios>	I dont respond and begin walking away, towards Jayko
Nov 10 13:27:55 <blaxout1213>	Rei simply laughs, sitting down and watching you leave her
Nov 10 13:29:24 <Arios>	I keep going until I see Jayko. Then, some distance away from him, I sit down
Nov 10 13:32:23 <blaxout1213>	Jayko is quite a few meters away, tending to a spot on his wing. Its a circular spot, missing quite a few black feathers, with a scorch mark on his dark grey skin. He gently pecks at it for a bit, letting out low chirps of pain as he does so.
Nov 10 13:33:43 <Arios>	As I notice this wound I approach him, carefully. "Jayko, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hit you...."
Nov 10 13:34:34 <blaxout1213>	He laughs a bit, saying, "F-fin-finally g-got me ba-back for th-that eye, eh?"
Nov 10 13:35:28 <Arios>	I lighten up a bit and reply "I .... I didn't mean to. It just slipped out of my wings... sorry about that", as I get closer to him
Nov 10 13:36:35 <blaxout1213>	"L-little bi-birdies a-are no-noisy", he says as you approach, "T-talk v-very l-loud"
Nov 10 13:37:09 <Arios>	"Y-you heard us talk?" I ask, surprised and somewhat scared
Nov 10 13:38:17 <blaxout1213>	"Y-yes, y-you talk lou-louder th-than th-this n-noise", he says, as he scratches the surface of the star
Nov 10 13:39:08 <Arios>	I look down at the stars surface. "Oh, right... So, what .... what do you think about all this?"
Nov 10 13:40:21 <blaxout1213>	"I w-was ab-about t-to le-leave so-soon an-anyways", he says, stepping towards you, exposing his sharp serrated talons as he walks
Nov 10 13:41:11 <Arios>	"A-are you sure?" I ask him. "I... I ... I like having you around. I really do"
Nov 10 13:41:32 <blaxout1213>	"Oh? Wh-whys th-that?"
Nov 10 13:42:41 <Arios>	"I'm not sure. I ... I just like you. You are more of a companion to me now"
Nov 10 13:43:30 <blaxout1213>	"Im st-stressing th-the lit-little bir-birdies out, a-and be-besides, I ha-have wo-work t-to do, a b-brother t-to s-save"
Nov 10 13:44:02 <Arios>	"I .... I promised to help you with that!"
Nov 10 13:44:53 <blaxout1213>	"H-how c-can y-you he-help if y-youre sm-small?"
Nov 10 13:45:32 <Arios>	"I'm ... I'm not sure. But I promised it! I can't just let you down like that! You helped me so much!"
Nov 10 13:48:07 <blaxout1213>	"Y-youre no-not letting m-me down, its j-just s-something I do-dont think y-you c-can help wi-with"
Nov 10 13:49:32 <blaxout1213>	"I d-dont th-think a pho-phoenix c-can he-help wi-with a ph-phoenix obs-obsession"
Nov 10 13:50:57 <Arios>	"I ... I want to help you as much as I can...." I say, clearly unhappy with the current situation. "And ... and I like you as a companion. A ... a friend." After a puase I add: "But ... I understand that you want to help him. And leave.... Is there any way we can ... meet again?"
Nov 10 13:51:27 <Arios>	"I want to meet with you again" I add
Nov 10 13:51:31 <Arios>	"Once all of this is over"
Nov 10 13:53:35 <blaxout1213>	"Br-brother is a-after pho-phoenixes, i-if I c-cant st-stop him fr-from chasing th-them, I wi-will wo-work t-to sa-save them... and i-im cer-certain h-he will come ba-back for y-you... th-this isnt a g-goodbye, I p-promise."
Nov 10 13:56:18 <Arios>	"If you ... If you ever save any Phoenixes, tell them that we are out here. That they are not alone. No one should ... have to go through what Rei did. I ... I wish you the best. I hope you can help your brother...." I get up close to him, my voice is now sounding rather emotional
Nov 10 13:56:29 <Arios>	"And ... Jayko?"
Nov 10 13:56:50 <blaxout1213>	"Y-yes?", he asks, wrapping his wing around you
Nov 10 13:57:30 <Arios>	"T-Thank you. For everything. We.... we will meet again. I ... I promise"

Nov 10 14:00:11 <blaxout1213>	"Im su-sure we will li-little one, tell R-Rei th-that i-ill be wa-watching o-over th-the b-both of you... br-brother wont hurt either of y-you..."
Nov 10 14:00:59 <Arios>	"T-Thank you, Jayko" I say, tearing up a little while under his wings
Nov 10 14:01:58 <blaxout1213>	"I-its wh-what im h-here for", he says, giving you a few scratches on your back, before he spreads his wings, and takes off, departing Rei's star.
Nov 10 14:03:11 <Arios>	"Goodbye Jayko..." stutter, looking at him departing until I cannot make out his shape against the black sky anymore. Then I just sit down, staring into the darkness
Nov 10 14:03:23 <Arios>	*I stutter
Nov 10 14:06:05 <blaxout1213>	The darkness swallows him, as he flies off, off to do what he must, leaving behind a pair of birds, ones he worked to save, ones that dont need him anymore.
Nov 10 14:07:51 <Arios>	After some time simply staring at the darkness, I curl up into a small ball of feathers and decide that the best way to get over Jayko leaving is to simply sleep for a while
Nov 10 14:11:39 <blaxout1213>	You wake up, some time later, on a seemingly empty star. No birds are in your presence when you wake, just you.
Nov 10 14:12:53 <Arios>	I look at my wings to see if I am able to fly yet
Nov 10 14:14:16 <blaxout1213>	Your feathers have grown further, but have yet to unfurl completely. Your general size is larger though, and the process seems to be accelerating, it shouldnt be too much longer until you are back to your original size
Nov 10 14:14:54 <Arios>	I slowly get up and decide to take a look around, but not before looking at the white planet in the sky
Nov 10 14:15:37 <blaxout1213>	Its still here, though in a different position in the sky. It doesnt seem to be moving anywhere, at least not closer or further
Nov 10 14:16:09 <Arios>	I move around, looking for any trace of Rei, wondering where she went...
Nov 10 14:19:17 <blaxout1213>	You look around for Rei, across this impeccably clean star. You dont see anything at first, until a red bird jumps through the air, flapping her wings attempting to maintain flight. She struggles for a bit, getting significant airtime, before her own gravity pulls her back, and she disappears again
Nov 10 14:20:45 <Arios>	I decide to move in a bit closer, not terribly close, but close enough so that I don't loose her. I'm still feeling down from Jaykos departure, though It is nowhere as bad as it was before I slept
Nov 10 14:26:10 <blaxout1213>	You sneak up on her, in a way, as she doesnt notice your approach. You watch her from a distance, as she flops down onto her own star. He grunts a bit, before she fades below it, disappearing into the red surface. She stays gone for about a minute, before she launches out, flames surrounding her, flapping her wings in another attempt to fly, spreading fire all over the place.
Nov 10 14:28:32 <Arios>	'She sure is happy right now' I think to myself. 'And quite pretty too'. I sit down in a comfortable position, my talons opposed to each other. I then unfold my wings and try to focus on my own flames a little, mostly to get the thoughts about Jayko out of my head. I attempt to conjure a small flame in front of my body...
Nov 10 14:33:30 <blaxout1213>	You warm yourself up, starting to force flames around your body, while Rei attempts to stay aloft. You dont notice her failing, and falling straight towards you, as you ignite a bit of the star in front of you in green flame, which is subsequently squashed by a red bird with large spread wings, sporting proper feathers. She lets out a chirp as she lands with a thud
Nov 10 14:34:31 <Arios>	I look up, before trying a second time, a little away from her....
Nov 10 14:34:56 <Arios>	I close my eyes and try to focus all my energy on a single point in an attempt to conjure a large fireball
Nov 10 14:38:48 <blaxout1213>	You gather your energies, engulfing yourself in flames, you feel the power of fusion coursing through you, ready to be unleashed at anything. At the same time, the red bird stands up, and shakes herself off, showing that she is much closer to her original size, maybe a couple of days away.
Nov 10 14:40:55 <Arios>	I focus one last time, attempting to concentrate all the energy into a singular point, before trying to unleash all of it as a large shockwave of green fire
Nov 10 14:45:20 <blaxout1213>	You focus inwards on yourself, becoming hotter and hotter, before releasing all of your energies in a large firey explosion. This explosion ribbles through the air, blasting the red bird off of her feet, making her squawk in response as she is consumed in green flame. This happens all around you, causing ripples in the red surface
Nov 10 14:46:05 <Arios>	I open my eyes and move towards Rei
Nov 10 14:47:57 <blaxout1213>	Rei lays on the ground laughing, as the green flames on her slowly die down. She is sprawled out on the ground, laying on her back, slowly kicking her talons in the air as you approach
Nov 10 14:48:41 <Arios>	"Not bad, huh?" I ask, feeling a little better
Nov 10 14:49:17 <blaxout1213>	"Is... is pretty good", Rei says, disoriented to some extent, but still laughing
Nov 10 14:49:56 <Arios>	"I didn't expect to be that strong to be honest" I reply, inspecting her. "Looks like you have gotten your feathers back"
Nov 10 14:50:52 <blaxout1213>	"Most of them, yeah, but I still cant fly... not sure why"
Nov 10 14:53:24 <Arios>	"Maybe it will take some more time" I reply. "Mine aren't there yet..."
Nov 10 14:53:33 <Arios>	"So I decided to work on something else instead"
Nov 10 14:53:43 <blaxout1213>	"Im so close though! I can feel it!"
Nov 10 14:54:35 <Arios>	"Good for you" I reply. "Until we are ready, is there anything you want to do?"
Nov 10 14:55:45 <blaxout1213>	"Well, I dont know how to use these things", Rei says, extending her talons out towards you, slowly cycling them back and forth
Nov 10 14:56:21 <Arios>	"Good idea" I say. "Should I show you?"
Nov 10 14:58:27 <blaxout1213>	"You do something like this?", she asks, as she grabs your talons with her own, and pulls you to the ground down with her, seemingly effortlessly
Nov 10 15:00:43 <Arios>	"You can use them for that, yes. You can pull things with it" I say, freeing myself from her grip, a little surprised about her strength. "But they are also sharp" - I demonstrate this by putting my right talon onto her belly, applying some pressure - "so you can use them to cut through things. Or enemies, depends"
Nov 10 15:01:33 <blaxout1213>	"Well I know that! But swinging them is awkward, especially when im standing on them. Ill fall over before I hurt anything!"
Nov 10 15:06:25 <Arios>	"You can use your wings to balance yourself" I say, demonstrating it by standing on one talon, while making a slashing movement with my other one. "But it's better to use them in flight: If you fly at an enemy quickly and then slash at them, it will hurt a lot more" I add, while retracting my wings again
Nov 10 15:09:24 <blaxout1213>	"OOoooh...", she says, getting to her feet, "Like this?" She swings her talon, using her wings to keep herself balanced, in the most awkward way possible. She barely manages to stay on her feet, getting a swipe down on the air in front of you
Nov 10 15:10:13 <Arios>	"Not bad" I reply. "Try again" I say, getting ready to intercept her slash with my own talon
Nov 10 15:14:30 <blaxout1213>	Rei listens, and swings again, better than last time. Once the swing is in progress, you move your talon in to intercept her swing. You successfully connect with her, but didnt count on her overwhelming strength. Her swipe completes as intended, throwing you off balance as she swings her talon around, bringing you with it.
Nov 10 15:15:44 <Arios>	I squawk in surprise as I get back on my feet. "Okay, i did not expect that" I say, surprised but also a bit amused
Nov 10 15:17:15 <blaxout1213>	"Hehe, you are so small and light", Rei says, as she releases your talon, watching you get up
Nov 10 15:17:57 <Arios>	"I was trying to show you how vulnerable you are while you swipe them like that"
Nov 10 15:18:02 <Arios>	"Guess that backfired"
Nov 10 15:18:25 <Arios>	"Anyways, try to use your talons when you fly at them. They are much more powerful that way"
Nov 10 15:20:28 <blaxout1213>	Rei laughs, finding these lessons amusing at the very least. "Ill just hit you with this instead", she says, pecking you in the side gently, though its enough to stumble you
Nov 10 15:26:22 <Arios>	I get a good grip of the surface below me, before answering. "Yea, you can. But watch out, you are pretty defenseless when you hit them with your beak"
Nov 10 15:28:35 <blaxout1213>	"Whys that?", she asks
Nov 10 15:29:57 <Arios>	"Because your head is right next to them. If they dodge your attack they can grab you right there. And that's bad. Really bad." I elaborate, using my wings to pretend to grab her head
Nov 10 15:34:19 <blaxout1213>	She giggles as you grab her, then grabs you with her wings, which are big enough to engulf you in her soft red feathers
Nov 10 15:34:59 <Arios>	I use my wings to move her head close so that it's right under mine. "See what I mean?"
Nov 10 15:36:34 <blaxout1213>	She laughs, and scratches the bottom of your head with her beak, which actually feels quite nice. "Oh no! You got me good!", she says
Nov 10 15:38:53 <Arios>	I laugh, playing along. "Now what do i do with you..... I know!" I screech as I try to knock her over
Nov 10 15:41:22 <blaxout1213>	She flops over, not even offering any resistence, simply laughing and enjoying herself as you knock her to the ground
Nov 10 15:42:27 <Arios>	"You're my prisoner now!"  I proclaim, laughing, before starting to tickle her with my beak
Nov 10 15:44:34 <blaxout1213>	She screeches, flails and laughs as you tickle her, as she playfully slaps you with her wings. "HA--- HAVE ME--MERCY!", she barely manages to squawk underneath your tickle assault
Nov 10 15:46:11 <Arios>	I keep going for a bit, keeping her tickled, before "acidentally" falling off her. "Oh no, I fell over! Now you are free and can have revenge!" I squawk out, laughing
Nov 10 15:51:06 <blaxout1213>	She lays on the ground breathing heavily for a few moments, before saying, "Oh... just you wait..." She gets to her feet, stands above you, and goes in for an assault, driving her beak right under your wing, which force you to laugh in response, even flailing involuntarily
Nov 10 15:52:35 <Arios>	"A--- N-- NO--" I squawk out loud, laughing uncontrollably
Nov 10 15:54:48 <blaxout1213>	Rei laughs, and relentlessly avenges herself, moving her beak upwards towards your neck, then back down towards the other side of your body, only intensifying your feelings of laughter.
Nov 10 15:55:14 <Arios>	I flail around, not able to control myself at all
Nov 10 15:56:31 <blaxout1213>	After a few final moments, she ceases her assault, and falls on top of you, breathing just as heavy as you, resting her head just beside yours
Nov 10 15:57:30 <Arios>	I inhale, trying to get some air back into my lungs. "Whew", I say. "That was fun"
Nov 10 15:59:05 <blaxout1213>	Rei laughs, before saying, "We should... do that... more often...", between heavy breaths, which push against your chest as she breathes
Nov 10 15:59:34 <Arios>	"We --- we really should" I say, inhaling mid-sentence, still catching my breath

Nov 12 14:15:31 <blaxout1213>	Rei slides off of you, collapsing onto her back, wings spread, still breathing heavier than normal. She doesn't say anything, but her eyes look towards the white dot in the sky, before returning to you.
Nov 12 14:17:17 <Arios>	"Well .... I think we are prepared well enough" I laugh, still breathing heavily. "If those feathers would just grow faster...."
Nov 12 14:18:44 <blaxout1213>	"Think I can throw you that far?", she asks, with an exhausted laugh, turning her gaze back to the planet
Nov 12 14:19:46 <Arios>	I simply laugh, not sure what to say about that proposal
Nov 12 14:21:35 <blaxout1213>	"Birds dont belong on the ground, its what we have these for", she says, flapping her wings a bit, blowing air through your feathers. "I want to fly again, finally free this time"
Nov 12 14:22:11 <Arios>	"I think you're almost there" I reply. "Maybe one more day or so.... Can't wait either"
Nov 12 14:23:38 <blaxout1213>	"Im kind of jealous of Jayko, he will never have to fly in fear", she says, rolling onto her stomach. She folds her wings in, but doesnt stand up, staying low to her heat bearing surface
Nov 12 14:24:32 <Arios>	"Jayko .... " I mumble, suddenly much less upbeat than before.
Nov 12 14:26:22 <blaxout1213>	"I have to say, I didnt expect him to leave like that... assuming he really did leave..."
Nov 12 14:27:09 <Arios>	"I'm sure he did leave. You heard what he said? About wanting to save more of us from his brother?"
Nov 12 14:27:40 <Arios>	"I just hope he is alright.... " I quietly say, whilbeing to contain a tear
Nov 12 14:28:31 <Arios>	"I just hope he is alright.... " I quietly say, while shedding a single tear
Nov 12 14:30:53 <blaxout1213>	"I guess... I guess I was a little harsh towards him... I just cant help it... everytime I see him, I feel all the pain his kind has brought me over the years..."
Nov 12 14:32:35 <Arios>	"I ... I understand that. "I say while getting a bit closer to her, looking at the stars. "It's just .... ... I just hope he can help our kind. And his brother." I say, now standing right next to her, still looking at the almost empty sky
Nov 12 14:33:53 <blaxout1213>	"You think there are other ones out there? What would they be doing?"
Nov 12 14:34:51 <Arios>	"I don't know.... Hopefully living a more peaceful live than we did so far. I hope Jayko can keep his brother away from them"
Nov 12 14:35:25 <Arios>	I say "Nobody should have to go through what you did", looking at her
Nov 12 14:37:07 <blaxout1213>	"Im sure many already have", she says, laying her head down, "They would be wise to heed the black birds"
Nov 12 14:41:43 <Arios>	"Yes, I suppose. Treat them with distrust. But Jayko shows that they don't have to be our enemies"
Nov 12 14:42:06 <Arios>	"I think its important to keep that in mind, while starting to snuggle with her
Nov 12 14:45:34 <blaxout1213>	She snuggles back with you, letting you feel her rather developed feathers, before saying, "I am content without any nox around here... Jayko is the only one welcome... everyone else... they can stay away"
Nov 12 14:46:57 <Arios>	"I don't trust any other ones either" I say "And I don't hope we meet any others anytime soon".
Nov 12 14:47:13 <Arios>	I continue to snuggle with her, rubbing my head against her breastplate
Nov 12 14:47:55 <blaxout1213>	"Just us..." she says, putting her head on top of yours, before repeating, "Just us..."
Nov 12 14:48:44 <Arios>	I move closer, my body now right against hers. "Yes..." I mumble, before almost falling asleep
Nov 12 14:50:07 <blaxout1213>	She doesn't seem to react in any way, though you notice her heartbeat slow down, as she drifts into sleep as well
Nov 12 14:50:34 <Arios>	I continue to get more and more tired before finally falling asleep
Nov 12 14:53:52 <blaxout1213>	You wake up to Rei readjusting herself, nudging you just a tiny bit. You appear to be leaning against her much more than when you fell asleep, as you feel every twitch of her muscles, though its obvious she is attempting to stay still.
Nov 12 14:55:32 <Arios>	I open my eyes, looking up to her. "Uhhh ... hey" I say, a bit groggy
Nov 12 14:57:15 <blaxout1213>	Rei laughs, before she moves out from under you, letting you flop to the ground, while she watches you
Nov 12 14:58:32 <blaxout1213>	"Come on, things to do, places to be", she says, circling around you a bit
Nov 12 14:58:48 <Arios>	I wake up fully as I hit the ground. I then get back up, asking her "... uh ... what?"
Nov 12 15:00:21 <blaxout1213>	"I think I had enough rest here, time to see what there is to see!"
Nov 12 15:01:08 <Arios>	It takes me a moment to understand what she means. I then look at my feathers, wondering if they are already ready for flight
Nov 12 15:03:02 <blaxout1213>	They look like Rei's feathers did yesterday, very full, nearly completely grown, while Rei's current feathers are completely developed, and ready to go, though Rei herself isnt as big as she used to be.
Nov 12 15:03:58 <Arios>	"I'm ... I'm not sure if I can fly yet" I say, looking at the pale white dot in the sky, then at her
Nov 12 15:04:22 <blaxout1213>	"Pfft, so what? You can borrow my wings for a bit"
Nov 12 15:05:27 <Arios>	"L-let me try first" I say, stretching my wings, attempting to take off
Nov 12 15:07:23 <blaxout1213>	You leap off of the star, and flap your wings. You hang in the air for an encouraging amount of time as you attempt to take off, but the attempt quickly turns south, as you stumble back down onto Rei's star
Nov 12 15:08:03 <Arios>	"So close!"
Nov 12 15:09:22 <blaxout1213>	"So close? Nah, youre flying today!", Rei says, as she knocks you over, stands on your chest, and grabs your talons with her own.
Nov 12 15:10:39 <Arios>	"There's no point in arguing, is there?" I ask her as I brace myself for takeoff
Nov 12 15:11:22 <blaxout1213>	"Nope!", she says as she does a jump, and with a grunt, carries the both of you off the ground. Her wings flap with intense strength, blasting you with air every single time, as you dangle from her talons
Nov 12 15:12:12 <Arios>	I try to make myself as light as possible, then say "Well then, let's go!"
Nov 12 15:15:47 <blaxout1213>	Rei flies with a laugh, carrying you off of her star, and towards the white dot. During this time, she starts humming a tune to herself, which nears its conclusion just as the pair of you depart the atmosphere. Rei changes course, heading directly for the white dot, which seems extra reflective now that youre outside the atmosphere
Nov 12 15:16:42 <Arios>	"You are sure you can handle us two?"
Nov 12 15:17:57 <blaxout1213>	"Sure, why wouldnt I be able to?"
Nov 12 15:18:43 <Arios>	"I was just making sure" I reply
Nov 12 15:20:15 <blaxout1213>	"And now... for the throw...", Rei says, as she looks down at you, then at the target white dot
Nov 12 15:20:42 <blaxout1213>	She starts spinning, gaining rotational speed every second

Nov 12 15:25:10 *	Now talking on #sidebirb
Nov 12 15:25:16 <dimwit105>	(test)
Nov 12 15:26:01 <Arios>	"Oh god no" I squawk, trying to get out of her grasp
Nov 12 15:28:58 <dimwit105>	You struggle fruitlessly against Rei's impossible grip as she simply laughs and continues to spin. "My boy is gonna fly today!", Rei shouts, very excited
Nov 12 15:29:49 <Arios>	"I'm scared!" I desperatley squawk back
Nov 12 15:32:08 <dimwit105>	"Here we go!", Rei says, before releasing you from her grip, sending you flying away from her very quickly
Nov 12 15:32:54 <Arios>	"Oh goooood" I screech, trying to get some control back in my flight
Nov 12 15:34:10 <dimwit105>	Rei laughs as you uselessly flail around in space, she laughs so completely that she loses control of her own flight, spinning around a bit as she gets further and further away
Nov 12 15:35:46 <Arios>	"Watch out" I manage to squeak out in my state of panic, before trying to control my flight again
Nov 12 15:37:19 <dimwit105>	"Dont wait up for me!", Rei says, casually following you, voice getting quieter as she becomes further away, while at the same time, the white dot becomes closer and closer
Nov 12 15:38:55 <Arios>	I try to calm myself down and turn my attention to the quickly approaching ball of ice....
Nov 12 15:41:52 <dimwit105>	Reis throw is terrifyingly fast, and incredibly accurate, as you are about 4 minutes away from the quickly approaching ball of ice, heading right for the center of it. Clouds among the world are sparse, though you seem to be heading right for the only patch of them here. These clouds are whirling around at a slow gentle pace, ready to accept a green firebird
Nov 12 15:43:32 <Arios>	I try to slow down my flight as much as I can, ocasionally turning back around to look for Rei
Nov 12 15:45:36 <dimwit105>	Rei is but a distant red dot, which is only getting smaller as your flight remains very swift. The only thing slowing you down is the thinnest part of the atmosphere this world possess, acting on you
Nov 12 15:46:33 <Arios>	I open my wings wide to let the atmosphere slow me down as much as possible
Nov 12 15:50:37 <dimwit105>	You open your wings to catch as much air as possible, which seems ineffective at first, but gets more effective the closer to the surface you get. You keep going without issue, until you hit the clouds, the freezing cold clouds sting from the raw tempeture difference alone, while the strong winds make it hard for you to keep your wings steady. You still manage to slow down to a reasonable speed, as you descend through the
Nov 12 15:50:37 <dimwit105>	clouds, and into the blizzard below. Looking down reveals a thick carpet of snow on a mountain peak, which you are about to get a much closer look at, as you are heading straight towards it
Nov 12 15:51:53 <Arios>	I brace myself for the impact, trying to gracefully land with my talons first
Nov 12 15:57:07 <dimwit105>	You spread your wings, which are thankfully still effective in gliding. You manage to choose where you are going to land, but still have quite a bit of leftover velocity, as you smash into the snow covered peak, which is thankfully thick enough to absorb all of your speed. You disappear in a poof of white snow, finally coming to a stop. Rei has a pretty good throw
Nov 12 15:59:38 <Arios>	I try to get out of the snow and onto the mountain top, looking at the sky so that I can see where Rei will land
Nov 12 16:02:26 <dimwit105>	You tunnel out of the snow, far enough to expose you to the intense blizzard thats happening outside. You shiver a bit as you look up, revealing only thick white clouds, obscuring anything beyond 15 feet
Nov 12 16:04:11 <Arios>	I conjure a small flame to keep me warm, then turn up my brightness in an attempt to see through the white mist
Nov 12 16:04:48 <dimwit105>	Becoming brighter does nothing to improve visibility, only showing you the individual snowflakes that attempt to bury you
Nov 12 16:07:14 <Arios>	Since staying up here is obviously pointless, I decide to move downwards the mountain
Nov 12 16:07:18 *	Arios has quit (Quit: Leaving)

Nov 18 17:38:32 <dimwit105>	You wobble down the face of the steep mountain, through the thickness of the blizzard, pushing through the snow using your talons. The wind is relentless, blowing snow constantly into your face, and occasionally blowing you over. In any case you pick yourself up, and march on. Continuing until the snow beneath you very suddenly gives way, and you start tumbling, rolling down the side of the mountain with wind blasting you with
Nov 18 17:38:32 <dimwit105>	every tumble
Nov 18 17:39:50 <Arios>	I try to grab onto something, stopping my fall
Nov 18 17:46:39 <dimwit105>	You tumble for a little further, before you feel your talons desperately grab onto some stone, right as the slope takes a downwards slope. You hear your talons scrape against this stone loud enough to pierce your ears through the wind, as you dangle over the edge of a very steep cliff. You see sharp rocks downwards for the tiniest distance, before they disappear into the white blizzard
Nov 18 17:48:41 <Arios>	I try to climb back up onto the slope, using my wings to get some additional upward impulse
Nov 18 17:55:14 <dimwit105>	You try to pull yourself back up, using your wings as much as possible. Before you are able to get another grip, you hear the stone start cracking. Before you even have time to look at it, the rock breaks off, bringing the bird attached to it with it. You tumble down, smashing into the sharp rocks below, hearing a few cracks as you impact, though its hard to tell wether thats bone or ice. You dislodge a large piece of snow,
Nov 18 17:55:14 <dimwit105>	which creates an avalanche that follows you down the mountain as you tumble. The constant thunder of this snow is right behind, as you smash into the icy rocks, before continueing to tumble
Nov 18 17:57:32 <Arios>	Desperate, I try to open my wings and attempt to leap off the mountainside, into a gliding flight away from the avalanche
Nov 18 18:02:51 <dimwit105>	You tumble further, before luck happens to place your body in a favorable position to leap, which you take as soon as its feasible. Your leap is successful, and your glide begins as you open up your wings. This glide quickly carries you away from the avalanche as you fight the wind. You feel the snow spray your tailfeathers as the avalanche nearly misses you, before continuing down the mountian
Nov 18 18:04:30 <Arios>	I take a look around, before starting to slowly glide down the mountain
Nov 18 18:08:07 <dimwit105>	At first, you see nothing in the raging blizzard, but as you fight through it, and get lower and lower, you start to see something. A vast plain expanse, covered with trees, each possessing a tall brown trunk, with thick branching limbs. These limbs carry tons of green needles, all of which are covered in snow. Beyond this forest, there is a flatter part, a frozen ocean, which holds flat undisturbed snow acoss its very flat
Nov 18 18:08:07 <dimwit105>	surface.
Nov 18 18:10:50 <dimwit105>	Within this frozen ocean, there is a tall tower, made of red stone. Its very far, but even from here you can tell its warm, as the ice surrounding it is replaced with water, which appears to steam up immediately next to the tower. It stands tall, taller than anything else, as Rei's light illuminates it
Nov 18 18:13:41 <Arios>	I turn towards that tower, attempting to fly as far as i can. At the same time, i keep looking around for any  trace of a certain red bird....
Nov 18 18:17:37 <dimwit105>	You get closer to the tower, and as you do so, you see Rei standing a top it, watching you, almost beckoning you to investigate. Your glide ratio is just right to give you an almost perfect amount of distance to proceed, it feels unnatural
Nov 18 18:19:11 <Arios>	"Oh there you are" I shout towards her, relieved that I found her again
Nov 18 18:20:24 <dimwit105>	She says nothing, simply beckoning her wings towards you, as she moves closer to center of the roof
Nov 18 18:21:20 <Arios>	I oblige and try to glide towards the roof she is standing on
Nov 18 18:21:50 <dimwit105>	You glide towards the roof, landing on the edge just as you run out of altitude, a perfect landing
Nov 18 18:23:17 <Arios>	I look back at the distance that I covered with my glide. "Huh, weird." I mumble, loud enough that Rei can hear it
Nov 18 18:24:30 <dimwit105>	Rei continues to stay quiet, as she pecks something in the center of the floor, then looks back up. Again, she beckons you towards the center
Nov 18 18:25:15 <Arios>	"Whats .... what's up?" I ask, while I move towards the center
Nov 18 18:28:28 <dimwit105>	You move closer towards the center, towards Rei as she looks back down towards the ground. She looks back up, right at you, before anything that was Rei turns to mist, which quickly dissipates in the gentle breeze. At the same time, you feel something grip your talons, and start pulling  you downwards, through the stone floor, which feels like thick mud as your talons enter it
Nov 18 18:31:53 <Arios>	I try to lob a hastily conjured fireball towards whom-/whatever is pulling me down, while trying to free myself of its grip
Nov 18 18:33:41 <dimwit105>	You cough up a fireball downwards, which merely scorches the thick liquid stone beneath you, as your talons disappear, and you start to feel your feathers getting moist from the thick liquidy stone
Nov 18 18:36:10 <Arios>	I struggle, trying to slice whatever is pulling me down with my talons. I get more and more panicked and start screeching loudly, both to attract Reis attention, should she be around and because my mind is in a state of panic
Nov 18 18:40:42 <dimwit105>	You kick your feet around, which must irritate whatever has your talons, as their grip tightens, and their speed increases, before it yanks you down, suffocating your screams in the liquid stone. Your head is pulled under the stone, making the last thing you see of the surface Rei's star. With another tug, you are all the way through the liquidy stone, gravity quickly forcing you to dangle from whatever holds you, which is right
Nov 18 18:40:42 <dimwit105>	behind your head, grunting at its prize
Nov 18 18:41:26 <Arios>	I turn around to get a better view of whatever just grabbed me
Nov 18 18:43:57 <dimwit105>	You see an incredibly tall being, one that seems to be made of a goop. This goop seeps down its body, all the way down to its two legs to form a puddle, it even falls off its two arms, leaking all over you. It has a blank face, which seems to be excreting this goo, with a pair of glowing red eyes watching you. The arms it holds you with have very sharp claws, which are starting to draw blood from your legs as you dangle
Nov 18 18:45:36 <Arios>	I try to get my talons away from its clawtips to prevent any more injury
Nov 18 18:46:16 <dimwit105>	You struggle in its grasp, which it responds to with a tighter grasp, simply making things worse
Nov 18 18:47:00 <Arios>	I let out a painful squawk before deciding to simply stay limp in its grasp
Nov 18 18:49:02 <dimwit105>	As soon as you make a sound, the creature reels back its long arm, before slamming painfully into the floor of this place. Your vision is blurry as your face meets the ground, though you still hear the goop of this creature moving around
Nov 18 18:52:43 <Arios>	I get back on my feet as quickly as i can. I try to use both my eyes and ears to make out the creatures position, then run in the opposite direction
Nov 18 18:55:18 <dimwit105>	You look to where the creature was standing, only to see a green bird, no, not a bird, a phoenix. A green phoenix, standing there, with his legs bleeding just a bit, with a rather scared look on its face. It looks right at you, then steps closer, raising its talons as if it were an enormous challenge.
Nov 18 18:58:06 <Arios>	I'm visibly confused by this sudden change. I pay close attention to my mirror image, but dont make any attempt at interacting with it yet
Nov 18 19:01:05 <dimwit105>	It steps closer, and closer, as its footing becomes faster and faster, as it figures out how to walk. This walk starts to become a charge, as it brandishes its beak towards you
Nov 18 19:04:00 <Arios>	I prepare myself for a dodge away from duplicate me
Nov 18 19:05:44 <dimwit105>	You manage to dodge the majority of it, as you feel your own beak barely graze your body as your duplicate charges by, struggling to come to a complete stop
Nov 18 19:08:05 <Arios>	"Hey" I shout at ... myself, still very confused. "What are you?"
Nov 18 19:09:28 <dimwit105>	The thing merely grunts, before it spins around, figuring out its new form. It looks at its talons, then starts making its way towards you again, armed with a new tool
Nov 18 19:13:07 <Arios>	I ready myself for a fight by conjuring a fireball in front of me that I release with yet another loud screech
Nov 18 19:15:06 <dimwit105>	It responds to your screech with a disgusting roar, rumbling the entire chamber, before charging you, and swiping its talons across your chest, devoid of any grace
Nov 18 19:16:16 <dimwit105>	Your fireball whizzes past it, not even getting close
Nov 18 19:17:35 <Arios>	Knowing my own weaknesses, I lash out at my doppelgängers eyes, attempting to hit them with my talons
Nov 18 19:19:18 <dimwit105>	You slash at its eyes, but even this creature has figured out that closing its eyes will protect them, which it does, avoiding any serious damage to the eyes, though still taking a good hit from you
Nov 18 19:20:36 <dimwit105>	It responds by biting your legs, right where its claws drew blood, resulting in a painful, though not serious injury
Nov 18 19:23:04 <Arios>	I conjure yet another fireball and aim it at its chest
Nov 18 19:25:21 <dimwit105>	You summon a fireball, and are about to release it from your body, before your duplicate charges you, thrusting its beak right into your chest, drawing a hefty amount of blood, and knocking you all the way down to the ground
Nov 18 19:26:31 <Arios>	I quickly get up and start to take flight, realizing that this enemy is more powerful than I anticipated
Nov 18 19:27:25 <dimwit105>	You attempt to fly, but your wings fail you, still not quite developed completely
Nov 18 19:30:27 <dimwit105>	The creature takes the oppurtunity to bring its beak down, slamming into you for a similar effect to last time
Nov 18 19:32:20 <Arios>	I continue to fight and swing my talons across its body, attempting to inflict as much damage as i can
Nov 18 19:34:11 <dimwit105>	You swipe across the green body of the birb, which seems to be unusually fragile. This doesnt stop it from retaliating, as it simply charges at you, and crushes you against the wall you failed to notice behind you.
Nov 18 19:35:42 <Arios>	stuck between a wall and a hard place, I continue my attack against its torso, throwing all i've got against the creature
Nov 18 19:36:58 <dimwit105>	You strike your beak against the creature, which immediately turns it into a fine mist, before it slowly falls to the floor
Nov 18 19:37:48 <Arios>	I dont move and instead look around in angst, trying to see if there is any other danger around
Nov 18 19:40:54 <dimwit105>	Looking around, you dont see very much, though you do notice that the ceiling is much higher than it was earlier, and quickly realize why. The entirety of the floor youre standing on is descending, little by little
Nov 18 19:41:44 <Arios>	I quickly try to cling against the wall, hoping to stop my descent
Nov 18 19:42:04 <dimwit105>	You cling to the wall, as the floor continues to move down without you
Nov 18 19:43:11 <Arios>	I take a deep breath and calm down a little, having just narrowly escaped an unfortunate fate
Nov 18 19:43:35 <Arios>	In the meantime, I watch the floor beneath me descend further down
Nov 18 19:45:47 <dimwit105>	The floor goes down and down and down, quite the huge distance, before a thick mist starts forming above the floor, a mist similar to the ones you just so recently saw. The mist swirls around almost angrily, before it starts rising, slowly, but steadily
Nov 18 19:47:46 <Arios>	I start to panick, knowing that i couldnt take another fight. I try to break out of the tower by conjuring a fireball and smashing it against the brick wall opposite of me
Nov 18 19:48:38 <dimwit105>	The brick absorbs the fireball leaving a small scorch mark, but doing no damage at all
Nov 18 19:49:24 <Arios>	I take a quick glance below me, then attempt to climb up the wall towards the top
Nov 18 19:51:32 <dimwit105>	You climb upwards, while the angry mists float towards you, though incredibly slowly. You make it all the way to the ceiling, while the mists have only risen a single meter. As long as they dont speed up, you should have hours before they get up here
Nov 18 19:52:30 <Arios>	I try to tap into the celing above me to see if it is still in a liquid state
Nov 18 19:53:03 <dimwit105>	Your beak goes through the liquid brick, still liquified
Nov 18 19:53:53 <Arios>	I carefully try to push myself into the liquid roof, before attempting to swim upwards, being very careful not to loose my grip
Nov 18 19:57:02 <dimwit105>	You push through the liquid, sticking your head through the darkness. After a bit of work, you push your head through it, only to hear a very surprised squawk from somewhere nearby
Nov 18 19:57:32 <Arios>	I push myself out of the liquid completley, before taking a look around
Nov 18 19:58:52 <dimwit105>	You see Rei, standing atop the roof, looking at a thin mist, which is just starting to disperse. She looks at you with a scared face, then back at the mist
Nov 18 20:00:11 <Arios>	"Get back" I screech at her. "It's a trap!" I say, as I gather myself
Nov 18 20:01:04 <dimwit105>	"Th...thats... thats... what?", she says, backpedaling, scared and confused
Nov 18 20:02:36 <Arios>	"It's not real! It tried to get me. It's ... down there" I say, while walking towards the edge of the roof. "Let's get away from here"
Nov 18 20:05:46 <dimwit105>	Rei is still confused, but listens anyways, and glides off the tower, towards the forest below
Nov 18 20:06:17 <Arios>	I follow her, still weakened by my recent encounter
Nov 18 20:08:25 <dimwit105>	The pair of you glide all the way to the coast of the frozen ocean, Rei landing gracefully, followed by you. She looks towards you, and asks, "Whats happening? How did you get so injured?"
