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]



[Ino Filter]

Do you have a moment?


[Felix Filter]

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

[He chuckles.]

Ah, another fire breed, I see. Though, I must say, all creatures considered, I believe that I am the one at the receiving end of said terrorizing rather than Vanyel, at the moment. You should see him, nonetheless. He is quite the sight to behold, not unlike his usual form.

[lord_wizard]

What is he? I'm afraid I couldn't quite pick out the sound...

[cantacquityou]

An albino peacock.

[lord_wizard]

[He chuckles] How fitting.

[cantacquityou]

I also had that feeling. I had never seen such a dejected bird as when his tail-feathers were painted.

[lord_wizard]

Goodness...

Don't be afraid of color, Vanyel...

[cantacquityou]

It took me about an hour to clean him.

[lord_wizard]

Well, I'm glad you two are bonding.

[cantacquityou]

[Flatly.]


You can have him.


['Bonding' my ass.]

[lord_wizard]

Oh fine, Miles. I am sorry. If he's giving you that much trouble, I'll come by and help keep an eye on him.

[But he's still not bird-sitting. Nope.]

[cantacquityou]

...He isn't...well, not by much, anyway. I simply have my hands full as is, what with Wright also having been turned into a bird...

[lord_wizard]

Wright?

[cantacquityou]

Yes - Ah, my friend. The one we've spoken about so long ago. He happened to have turned into a bird about the same time as Vanyel, quite oddly.

[lord_wizard]

Hmm. These things always come in pairs. The losses, I mean...not the birds.

[cantacquityou]

...Is that a proven fact?

[lord_wizard]

...No. But it seems like it on a semi-frequent basis.

[cantacquityou]

...and I had the misfortune of having it happen to a pair of people that I happen to know.

[lord_wizard]

It's good of you to watch out for them [Definitely a better person than him]

[cantacquityou]

[He pauses and looks at them off in the distance. He exhales exasperatedly as he rolls his eyes and says:]


...Could I not?


[...though he does tend to think of himself from time to time as a truly incorrigible person.]

[lord_wizard]

[He cannot see your eye rolling, mister, but he can hear it]

[Irritatingly cheerful] No.

[cantacquityou]

I suppose I could have cooked them.

[lord_wizard]

You'd probably have to cook Yfandes too.

[cantacquityou]

I've never had much of a fancy for horse-meat. Or hoof-prints on my face...

[lord_wizard]

Neither have I. Far too much trouble for so little payout.

I can, however, bring you over some conciliatory wine. Or tea. Whichever you prefer.

[cantacquityou]

Is that so? How thoughtful of you.
