41st Resurrection

[sanctus_dei]

[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!]]

This is shana's trollface.

Trouble?

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

[This is Theo's Go Away face]

No. Just idiot familiars.

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

Why don't you just tell them what to do?

Thunk! Ow!

[ooeeooahah]

Hey!

[ Ilsa picks up the knight, and glares at the bird. ]

Rude! [ Muttering, ] Though it could have been worse.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

[The bird flaps a bit, and looks smug. He flies down a bit closer to Ilsa.]

Theo

[fatesjanitor.livejournal.com]

[Archer is quietly watching by, knowing at this point Theo and Gil are connected as Master-Servant. However, he makes no moves to help nor to really talk. He is genuinely curious about his ramblings though.]

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

[The crow with Theo is one of his familiars, so if Archer can understand magical creatures, he'll get both sides of the conversation. If not, it's still pretty obvious from Theo's end.]

Yeah, you crows and your shiny things... they're not even that shiny, you know. They're wooden. He just did it to be spiteful!

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Ow! Son of a bitch...[Ken just got hit in the head with a pawn. He looks up at the crow with an annoyed face.]

See if you get tin foil balls next time! [Yes he sorta recognizes this crow.]

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

[Precisely why he chose to throw one at you! The crow caw loudly, then lands on a parking meter close to Ken. It caws again. Hi!]

[Kira looks at the chess piece which has somehow managed to drop down and smack her, frowning as she leans to pick it up. Where did it even come from? She'll glance around, and if she spots Theo, she'll approach him.]

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

[Above Kira is a crow whole almost sounds to be cackling before it flies off. Theo storms up, being followed by another crow. Theo yells to it as it flies off.]

Son of a bitch, get back here! Where are you hiding those?

[headedforhope]

[Approaching Theo and the other bird! She's holding a rook that was dropped on her head.]

Pieces...? Excuse me, sir, is this yours?

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Hnn? Oh. Yeah. Damn bird... This is what happens when they get bored. Too smart for their own damn good.

[spellbent]

Missing something? [ somebody's got a bishop ]

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Oh. Yeah. Damn bird's been hiding 'em all over town. [He'll take it back. Warren's being stared at by the other bird on Theo's shoulder.]

[exactingrevenge.livejournal.com]

[Just misses being hit by a..... black knight. He smirks a bit as he kneels down to collect the piece]

You're late-- and completely useless in this state.

[Amused by his own inside joke for only a moment, he looks skyward to see where the piece originated]

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

[A familiar crow is looking down at Ciel. It squawks merrily at him.]

[herrdoctortenma.livejournal.com]

[Tenma's knocked in the shoulder by a falling piece. A white Knight. When he notices Theo wandering around town, grumbling to his bird about finding pieces, he approaches.]

Excuse me... Theo, right? Is this yours?

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Hnn. Yeah, it's mine.

[Theo's reaction to Tenma is much more subdued than when others approach him. He's not quite sure what to say to him.]

approaching Theo and the other bird

*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.*

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

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

Hey, where did you find that?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[Oh... Chess piece. Aaron stops and tries something he hasn't really tried while being a coyote...

He sniffs it. His sense of smell works a lot better but he still has no clue what it is he is smelling.]]

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

[Well, I suppose it would smell like two thing - the man who owns it and held it last, and the bird who stole it. Actually, that bird is sitting a few yards away, watching the coyote curiously.]

talkin' to himself but the first bird can probably hear

[honorarylesbian.livejournal.com]

...

Did that bird just throw a chess piece at me?

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

[Yes, yes it did. The bird recognizes Akane, of course, as one of the housemates. He merrily squawks at him, and flies closer.]
