Case #007; The Petting Zoo

[cantacquityou]

 

[If you happen to be out this evening, there is one very harrowed prosecutor sitting outside in the garden, exasperatedly tapping his fingers against the wooden garden table that he's sitting at. There used to be a sandwich on the plate in front of him. Used to.

Surrounding him is... a goddamned zoo. One large, purple snake-creature; one, massive, blue firebird; an enormous...er, fire dog, and an albino peacock of such magnitude also synonymous to being 'large.'

/EDIT: ...and a white horse.

One of the little fxckers already took his sandwich before he had a chance to get acquainted with it. Let's hope they don't try to eat each other. omfg fluttershy halp]

Do you have a moment?

[Upon activating this filter, you'll be hearing a bit of shuffling, then the 'Caaaaw' of a peacock. That's all. Sorry.]

Comments

[takethat]

[Far from caring about sandwiches or becoming someone's lunch himself, Phoenix is trying his darnedest to make fire come from his feathers. He knows he should be able to do this, but so far he's only managed it once, briefly, and otherwise just seems to be radiating a constant level of warmth. So with one eye on the congregation of animals (and Edgeworth), he's standing just a bit to the side of the group, periodically flapping his wings roughly in frustration.]

[cantacquityou]

Is there a problem?

[takethat]

[There are a lot of problems. He doesn't want to be here, he's sick of being a bird, he's still having trouble eating right, and he can't even make use of the magical abilities he's supposed to have in this form.

He glares at Edgeworth as well as he can and bristles. Phoenix is an unhappy phoenix.]

[cantacquityou]

[Just what is that look supposed to be?]


...If you're constipated, I cannot help you.

[peacockherald]

_{[Vanyel comes to sit and watch, his feathers all shiny and bright and white and lovely. The sun shinning on them only serves to make them more lovely ~]}

Try to start a fire, are we?

_{[Note, he can speak to Phoenix because they are both birds as they discovered. It is comforting.]}

[takethat]

Well... yeah, I guess so.

[He stares at one of his wings, willing it to ignite.]

I should be able to do this, right?

[peacockherald]

In the legends of the phoenix, yes. I can start fires myself, usually. I am not so sure you should try if you are unsure you can control it.

Besides, in the legends, doesn't the phoenix only set on fire when they die and intend to be reborn from their own ashes...?

[Edgeworth]

[ino]

... Yeah, sure. What's up?

[cantacquityou]

Do I recall you saying at one point that you can...'look into minds'?

[ino]

Er ... kind of, yeah. [she's a little hesitant to go into detail there just yet ... while she doesn't distrust edgeworth, she doesn't know him SUPER well, either ...] Why?

[compromisedarrow]

[There's a man out and walking around as he chances upon this scene.]

Well, at least I know where Vanyel and the phoenix disappeared to.

[He then notices the rather harrowed look of the prosecutor.] You okay?

[cantacquityou]

Ah, good evening. [He attempts to stifle a yawn..which...fails.] I beg your pardon. A little tired, is all.

[compromisedarrow]

Well, being a zookeeper is a full-time job.

[peacockherald]

_{[Barton! Vanyel gives a trill of greeting and spreads his tail feathers to show the other he has managed to keep them clean since his bath, thank you oh so much~!]}

[compromisedarrow]

Heh. There you are.

[He walks forward and reaches out to pet the peacock.]

Still immaculate, huh? Good to see.

[doublethefun]

[what's a petting zoo without a pony? And she's trotting on over!]

Greetings, Miles Edgeworth. [mildly:] Thou hast accumulated many new friends, I see.

[so that's where Vanyel and the blue phoenix went.]

[cantacquityou]

[Ohhhh yeah. This petting zoo could use a couple of ponies. <3 His manner of speech is drab.]


Greetings to you, your Highness.

[doublethefun]

Such formality. [she smiles, taking a seat on the floor next to him.

A glance at his empty plate.] Did he eat thy food as well?

[peacockherald]

_{{Oh it was a Luna! Vanyel trills a greeting and bobs over, settling beside Miles and nodding his head in greeting to his friend.]}

[peacockherald]

<sub>[Well, Vanyel is busy enjoying the sunshine for himself. Especially now that he is blessedly clean~! He was bobbing around with his peacock walk, considering flowers and other things with his new senses and way of seeing, his tail trailing behind him as always, though a part of him his speaking to someone else...

Who appears with a neigh.

Yfandes, his white mare. He trills happily and flaps his wings, the mare walking up and lowering her head, the two of them making content little noises together as they nuzzled each other.]</sub>

[cantacquityou]

[Oh god. That's...that's precious. Stop it this instant. T_T]

[peacockherald]

_{[NO! It has been days since he has seen his Companion! He cheeps at her and she snorts, lowering herself down to sit. Vanyel bobs around and sits too, snuggling up against her, white to white, and Yfandes snorts her amusement at this.]}

[The hell was that?]

Hello?

[Pfft. Filter]

[cantacquityou]

Ah, Felix. Good evening. I trust your day has been better than mine.

[lord_wizard]

Presumably? What's going on?
