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!]]

Hnn? Yeah. He thinks this is funny. Too almost the whole set.

[The other crow lands on Theo's shoulder, and peers at Kira.]

[infinitemars.livejournal.com]

How did he manage that? [She sort of peers back at the other bird, not sure what to think of it]

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

He opened the box and started dropping them all over town when I wasn't paying attention. It's because I won't teach him to play.

[There's a pause as he realizes this sounds like complete insanity.]

...They're my familiars.

[Perhaps thankfully for Theo, Kira was a good friend of Mickey Mouse when he was around, so the idea of a sentient creature comes as absolutely no surprise to her. However, there is a very obvious look of confusion on her face, before she queries.]

How would he even manage to play? I would think his wings would get in the way.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

He seems to think otherwise. Also limited intelligence and the attention span of, well, a crow, would also get in the way.

Hm... Be fascinating to watch, but very difficult to get a game finished. [She smiles a little and holds the piece she picked up out to Theo] Here.

I'm looking for a challenge, not a circus act.

[He'll take it.] Hnn. Thanks.

[She giggles faintly] I'm sure someone in town can play a good game.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Seems to be less and less every day.

[infinitemars.livejournal.com]

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

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Hnn. I suppose I haven't.

[infinitemars.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you should try? Maybe you'll find someone who can play.

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

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

[infinitemars.livejournal.com]

Maybe. But you never know what will happen. Someone who just came in might.

[But talking to people is fun!]
