[ It's a little earlier in the afternoon than timestamps might suggestion, but it's not exactly full light out at this time in the day, Suzaku's standing out on the road from the main part of the city to the northern section of it. He hasn't gotten far though since there's clearly the city behind him as he stands there looking down at his tablet, umbrella over his head to keep it dry. ]

Does anyone know how long it would take to--

[ He's cut off by a loud caw as one of those massive crows that occasional make an appearance flies in and lands in the middle of street. Anyone watching the video however is just going to get a nice view of the top of his umbrella as Suzaku drops his hand slightly to stare at the bird that just showed up.

Now here? Here is the fun part, even though he's the only one looking at the thing right now other people will definitely hear it as it starts singing--

"Sound the horn and call the cry,/ How Many of Them Can We Make Die!"

The bird continues its charming little tune and Suzaku's let his arm drop down fully now so there's a great upside down video of the bird singing it's heart out here.

And suddenly somewhere around the lines "Send These Bastards Back to Hell" the song takes a very drastic turn to something completely different.

Well then... There's a good fifteen seconds of this before Suzaku lifts the tablet up again blinking rapidly a few times before looking back down at it. The bird is still going on in the background but he's speaking louder now to talk over it. ]

How long would it take to get to the northern section of the city by foot?

Bet you can't get there faster than I can!

[ Is she trying to egg him on into a competition here? Well that sure as hell wasn't what he expected.

Then again, either was the singing and dancing crow. ]

You might be right about that, but I wasn't actually trying to start a race with anyone.

[flarp]

[ She's so bored all the time and nobody will play with her. ]

Holy shit, why is everyone here so boring? Who cares what you were trying to do! You'd find out the answer on your own if you'd just race me there.

[ Life is tough. Especially when you're a weird... monster thing. Seriously what are you? He's debating if it's rude to ask or not. ]

Sorry. To be honest I wasn't even planning on heading over there today, but... maybe another time?

[ Dismissive handwave. ]

Fine, fine. Whatever. I don't even care anymore.

[ Yes she does. ]

Why? You guys going on tour?

[quisling]

Huh? No, I just wanted to head up there sometime and see what it's like. I'm not actually sure what's going on with the bird.

Still voice TAKE THAT

[wilder]

Oh.

Well I think it either wants to go to war with you or confessing its love. Hard to say.

RUDE

[quisling]

I'm not sure which of those options is more disturbing.

[ Kaede's eye twitches at the first song. Well, just the apparent size of the crow is freaky enough, and then it's singing? Singing?? What the heck is in the air/water/whatever that is giving it the ability to sing??? And talk about a creepy song, too.

Then the second song just makes her raise an eyebrow. O...kay... ]

Your "choice" of music is interesting, Suzaku...

[quisling]

[ He didn't ask them to do this, he swears to god. ]

It's not my music! I don't think I've ever even heard these songs before now.

[ They've gotta be ones from Exsilium, right? It'd be a little disconcerting if the crow came up with these songs on its own. ]

[copia]

I haven't either. Forgetting about the music though, it looks huge...

[quisling]

Yeah... I'm not close enough to really tell for sure how big it is, but it's at least half my height.

[ Blah blah blah- wait a minute- ]

The hell's that bird doing?

[ Weird bird > all. ]

[ Suzaku pauses before fumbling with the tablet to turn it around and focus it back on the bird.

It's still singing... ]

Your guess is as good as mine!

[sharpe]

What've you been making it listen? Birds don't usually sing those things!

[quisling]

[ Shaking his head quickly. ]

I didn't do this! I've never even come across this bird before now.

[ It was hard to sort out what was going on at first, but after a bit of eavesdropping, the picture is coming together.

A bit. ]

If you're searching for an expedient form of travel, I do believe you've found what you are looking for. Your fine feathered friend can transport you, in soft luxury, serenaded by a rather...ah.....interesting tunes

[quisling]

[ A short laugh. ]

As much as I appreciate its offer, I think I'll pass.

[maddeninghatter]

Hmmm, perhaps that's for the best. Your bird seems a bit unbalanced.

[quisling]

I'm not sure about unbalanced, but it's definitely not like any bird I've seen before.

[da fuck]

Is that crow... singing?

[quisling]

[ He wishes he knew. ]

That's what it sounds like to me...

[brightsided]

Is... it okay? [THAT'S PROBABLY NOT NORMAL???]

[quisling]

[ It's definitely not normal. ]

I honestly have no idea.
