34th Resurrection

[What does Theo do when he's bored? He gets drunk! And he certainly gets drunk a lot. Today's no exception. You'll find him:

A) At the pub, at a table. Somehow, his two crow familiars have snuck their way in with him. One is sitting on his shoulder, chatting at him quietly. Theo talks aloud with it. The other is flapping from table to table, sitting on chairs and curiously looking at other patrons, eavesdropping on conversations. Occasionally he returns to his master and fills him in on any juicy tidbits he overheard. Feel free to annoy/talk to/attempt to shoo Theo and his feathery friends.

B)Outside, there's someone who's fallen over in a snowbank! Maybe it's outside your house or you're passing by, but there's Theo, stuck there like an upturned turtle. There's a dropped flask a few feet away, and the crows are sitting with him unsure of what to do. The braver one gently pecks at his knee. The other one is doing the crow version of laughter.]


Quiet! Shut up! 'Course I can get up. Just gimme a minute.

[It's not going to happen. So what will you do? You should probably point and laugh and leave him there, but you can try and help him if you want.]

Oh... I really like the snow... It reminds me of home. But it's true that ice can be dangerous.

What's your name? I'm Nino.

No snow in my city. I'm glad for that.

[He just can't seem to figure out why anyone has stopped to talk to him. Obviously you must want something from him. He looks a bit suspicious. One of the nearby crows hops a bit closer to Nino to get a better look at her.]

Hnn. Theo.

Really? I think it's nice... It's kind of cold, but it's fun to play in, and it looks so pretty!

Theo! It's nice to meet you. I'm glad you're okay.

[She eyes the crow with some apprehension, but seems overall more interested in Theo than the birds.]

It's cold. And wet. And everywhere.

Uh. Yeah. I'm fine.

[Your perkiness, what is this. He's going to try standing up now. It's going to take him a couple ot tries.]

[identity profile] true-mage.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[She can't help but grin a little bit as she answers.] Only when you fall down in it.

[Nino's perkiness is a thing to be feared!1! She jumps up, brushing snow off her clothes, and sort of hovers awkwardly, watching his attempts to rise.]

...Um, are you sure you don't need any help?

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2011-02-08 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Aaaaaaaaand he's on his feet! He's steady for a few seconds before he attempts to walk, swaying.]

Yeah, I'm good. Never better.

[He crow sitting next to Nino chatters at her. The other one flies up and joins Theo by sitting on his shoulder.]

[Yay! She looks genuinely pleased by this new development.]

Oh! Do you know these crows?

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2011-02-08 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Hnn. Yeah, they're my familiars. And a couple of damn busybodies.

[The two crows caw in protest. Theo groans and pats the one on his shoulder.]

[identity profile] true-mage.livejournal.com 2011-02-08 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Wow! [She looks impressed and crouches back down to regard the other crow that had previously been chattering at her.]

I've never really seen a crow this close before! They're so shiny. And they look smart, too. Do they understand it when people talk?

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2011-02-08 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
They are smart, but they're Mayfield crows so they sorta act droned. It's weird. They just love to go on about how much they love Mayfield.

[Oh yes! The crows agree, and flap and caw excitedly.]

Yeah yeah, pipe down! They can understand people, but never seem to listen when I tell 'em that I'm the only one who can understand them.

[identity profile] true-mage.livejournal.com 2011-02-09 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, that's funny! But that's incredible that they can understand people!

Did the town give them back to you? Some people told me that I would get all my missing stuff back eventually.

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2011-02-09 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
No, they're from here, which is why they act all damn brainwashed. They're still useful, though, which is why I made them my familiars.

Yeah, eventually. Might not always be stuff you want, though.
