52nd Resurrection

Action A: [Some of you might have noticed your Christmas light and decorations going missing. None of the big or heavy things, like lawn ornaments, but things like tinsel, small wreaths, strings of lights and the like are disappearing. Or maybe you'll catch the culprits in the act - two large crows who quietly chatter and squawk at one another, as if talking. They might be un-stringing your lights with their beaks and claws, or trying to figure out a way to lift a larger decoration, or both trying to pick up a wreath so they can carry it together. Do you investigate? Catch them? Chase them off?]

Action B: [The bird thieves are not hiding their spoils, dumping them on the lawn and porch of 337 Brady Lane. Once they've collected enough, they caw loudly to get their master's attention. Theo comes out to argue with them.]

What the hell are you doing?

[One of the birds cheerfully flaps while holding a string of lights in his beak. The other caws at Theo.]

Because I don't give a damn about Christmas. Where did you get all of these?!

[Feel free to approach/accost/etc.!]

[They can fly, but Christmas decorations can be cumbersome to a bird. Working together, the pair are making off with a sheep from a nativity scene.]

[[He's going to try and leap up to snag it with his teeth or at least scare them into dropping it.

Making growls and angry yips at them.]]

[Well, the growling works on Phobos, the nervous one. He lets go and takes off. Deimos caws angrily at him, and gets bogged down trying to hold onto the decoration. He's not going to be able to hold it much longer.]

[[Aaron's being persistant.

Jumping up, now that growling isn't working. Hoping to snag it and tug it free.]]

[Oh no! Deimos can't hang onto this alone. Aaron will be able to grab it from the bird's grip, and will be treated to loud cawing and squawking and flapping. No fair!]

[[Smug coyote is smug.

He takes his prize and struts back towards his own house. Taking his time.

He's only a 20lbs but he is bigger than a bird.]]
