26th Resurrection

[sanctus_dei]

[Today Theo can be seen arguing with the drone of Marisa out on the street! H-He may be drunk, SURPRISE. She looks a bit frightened, and he's sort of following after her as she tries to skitter away, ranting.]

Come ON! Not you too!? Margot, then Shina, then Tlachtga and now this?! Christ Al-fucking-mighty!

M-Mr. Crawford, I really don't have any--

Stop calling me that! What the hell is this town doing?!

I'm sorry, sir, but I really need to get to get home!

[And off she trots. Theo is left standing there, looking confused and crushed, which melts away quickly to anger. He turns to head home after a few moments. His two crow familiars join him then, and chatter support at him. To most others, they just make crow noises, but he can obviously understand them. Or maybe he IS just really drunk.]

Maybe, I don't know.

...

No, she's droned too. ...For awhile now.

...

What?! No, he isn't... I don't think he is. Not that it goddamn matters!

...

Because! He doesn't... talk to me anymore, remember?

...

Are you crazy?! What do you know, stupid bird...


[It goes on like this for awhile as he walks through town. But, it results in Theo ending up at Ken's house on Partridge Drive. Feel free to stop him during any of this, or answer the door when he knocks. Loudy.]

Are they? I had a feeling they would be.

Your familiars...so like shikigami, then. So are they not from your world?

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Like what? No, they're from here. I didn't have any at home. No time for them.

[The more adventurous of the two birds hops a bit closer to get a good look at you.]

[knowsitsname.livejournal.com]

I suppose you wouldn't know the term, then. They're rather like familiars. Summon spirits, usually animals, used to serve and protect their master.

Then how did they become your familiars.

[Hnnng does not like being stared at. Even by a crow. Yep, this definitely reminds him of that interview with Aya...]

Oh, summons. Yeah, a lot of magicians where I'm from do it. Not exactly the most subtle magic, but in this town it doesn't really matter, I think.

It was a pretty simple spell. They were undead at first, but the town kept bringing them back to life every day. It was too big of a pain in the ass to keep up on it.

A friend of mine has familiars. Actually, one of them is so powerful that she has her own familiar.

I see. And why crows? Any particular reason?

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Damn. That is powerful.

I wanted something to keep an eye out for me. It was either this or a cat. I didn't want something stupid, either.

[knowsitsname.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is. I've only run into her a few times myself. She'll run errands for her master sometimes.

Well, crows are good for keeping their eye on things...

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Now if they only didn't have that drone attitude. They love living in Mayfield as much as the human drones do.

[Both birds caw in agreement.]
