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!]]

[The crow keeps chase rather well, but he's making quite a ruckus has he follows Aaron. Who said you could keep that piece!?]

[[Time for a new trick! Aaron sprints for the park, finding a bigger bit of brush to dive into it.

He changes, a little larger. Putting the piece down and sitting on it.

At first the sounds he makes are more like growling grunts. But soon it starts to sound like cawing.

Then it starts to sound a lot like angry cawing! No real meaning behind it beyond mimicking the crow while keeping himself in the brush.]]

[Now you're *mocking* him? This is too much.

He's too leary too jump in after you, so he waits outside, complaining in your general direction.]

[[Aaron shifts back down to a regular coyote.

Standing up, he paws at the chess piece to move it out of the bushes and knock it towards where the crow is at.]]

[The crow sees it, hopping back and forth a bit excitedly. He doesn't trustthis random coyote, so he tentatively steps forward, watching him, making sure he doesn't make any false movements.]

[[The Coyote backs up slowly and lays down. Just watching and resting his head on the ground.]]

[Hops closer

closer

clooooooser

and then snags the piece! Deimos flies up to a nearby fence, looking proud.]

[[Sits up and barks cheerfully. Way to go bird!]]

[The bird looks around, piece in its mouth, not sure what to do now.

So he tosses the piece back down at Aaron, and looks expectant. Let's play again!]

[[Aaron is not a dog.

That said, Aaron picks up the piece with his teeth again. Waves it in the air for the crow then runs again!]]

[Hurray! This merry game of chase will go on as long as Aaron lets it.]

[[He eventually gets tired and will let the piece down. Giving a bark at the crow before heading off. Time to go home and change back.]]
