41st Resurrection

[Look out below, Mayfield! There's something being dropped on you. It's small and light, made of wood... why look, it's a chess piece. It might have been dropped right on you or nearby you from above, by a large black crow. It sits on a phone wire, cawing. Does it sound just a little bit like laughter?

Elsewhere around town, Theo can be found searching for the pieces, grumbling to himself. A different crow is sitting on his shoulder, occasionally hopping or flying nearby to help look. Theo's talking to it.]


No, go over there. Higher! You're a bird, don't you have better eyes than people? He's taken almost all the pieces. Just know when I see him next time, I'm gonna wring his neck.

[They stumble across a piece every once in while, but didn't you just get hit with a chess a few minutes ago?]

[[Please just specify if you're approaching the first crow - he can talk to people - or approaching Theo and the other bird!]]

Seems to be less and less every day.

Have you asked recently? There's new people all the time, unfortunately.

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2011-04-26 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
All the pieces here are made of wood. No one makes metal or stone ones. Whatever, I know better for next time.

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2011-04-26 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. We should play again sometime, once you find all the pieces or get a new set.

So that's a yes! Oh, thank you, mister...?

*Nanami happens to be walking by with a rook in hand. She really doesn't know what it is though so she's unintentionally making a show of walking with it while observing it carefully.*

[The bird on Theo's shoulder squawks when it sees Nanami holding the piece. Theo turns to her.]

Hey, where did you find that?

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2011-04-26 12:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's not sure why he's agreeing to this.]

Theo.

I'll probably just pick up another one tomorrow. Stop by sometime.

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2011-04-26 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Hnn. I suppose I haven't.

[identity profile] akudobita.livejournal.com 2011-04-26 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
On my lawn. Is this yours?

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2011-04-26 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. My other "pet" made off with my almost my entire set before I even noticed.

[identity profile] akudobita.livejournal.com 2011-04-26 01:13 pm (UTC)(link)
My my, what ill behaved pets. You should discipline them more often.

*Nanami walks over with gentle footsteps.*

There's more of these?

[because he's weak to moe- OH NO WAIT NO HE'S NOT]

And I'm Mami, so now we aren't even strangers.

[brief curtsy] So, how long have you had those crows?

[identity profile] fatesjanitor.livejournal.com 2011-04-26 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Guess these birds don't have much of an attention span. Maybe you'll find your pieces after all, if that's the case.

[identity profile] infinitemars.livejournal.com 2011-04-26 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps you should try? Maybe you'll find someone who can play.

[identity profile] exactingrevenge.livejournal.com 2011-04-27 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
[That's one of Theo's familiars isn't it? Looks at the chess piece again before looking back up at the bird]

Playing some sort of game, are we?

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2011-04-27 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, sounds good to me. Even though you'll probably kick my ass it it.

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2011-04-27 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
[He's is secretly thrilled to have someone to teach.]

Hnn. July or August, I suppose. About when I got my magic back.

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2011-04-27 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
I should wring his scrawny neck is what I should do.

Chess pieces? Yeah. 32 in a set. I've found about 15.

[Kira don't be silly, that would require *talking to people*.]

A lot of people don't even have it in their world.

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2011-04-27 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Too smart for their own good. For birds, anyway.

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2011-04-27 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Of course! he flies down closer and dances back and forth a bit excitedly. You found it, now it's time to give it back, right?]

[identity profile] exactingrevenge.livejournal.com 2011-04-27 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Doesn't speak bird-- at least not as fluently as this familiar understands English. Dangles the chess piece a bit.]

If you wanted this back, you shouldn't have dropped it.

[Not giving it up just yet]

[identity profile] akudobita.livejournal.com 2011-04-27 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
That should work... I wouldn't choose that type of punishment personally but I think that'll do just fine.

*a smile*

Is that so? I've never heard of Chess before so I don't quite understand what you mean.
