HAWKS PALACE

The process of entering the palace is... smooth. Painless.


You are falling, but it's not scary at the speed you're going. You drop through the pre-dawn sky like a feather, light and easy on a breeze, descending towards a bright and multicolored island in a sea of dark trees.

When you land, you are somewhere new.

Do you want to hold this one? Hold out your arm.

"That one is your friend, right...?"

He holds his arm out though.
tothosewhobait: (On the good side)

[Setting the bird on his arm]

This bird? No, we just met. I'm more familiar with sea creatures. Though I do speak cat fluently, as far as land animals are concerned.

"You can TALK to CATS?"

Of course, we take animal language classes in school.

"I wanna learn that..."

He pats the bird on its head.
tothosewhobait: (We'll start to talk)

Re: ANIMAL ATTRACTIONS

[personal profile] tothosewhobait 2022-09-13 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
Then you should. Who says you can't?

"I guess I've never tried..."

The admin buildings are VERY locked. 'STAFF ONLY' is written all over the door.

[Frowns, looking for any windows]

It never hurts to try. If you never try then how will you know? You could miss out on many opportunities.

Re: ANIMAL ATTRACTIONS

[personal profile] doublefried 2022-09-13 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
The windows are frosted glass! Very private. Very hush-hush.

"Mm, I guess so... can you talk to other animals or just cats?"
tothosewhobait: (Knows what's best)

Re: ANIMAL ATTRACTIONS

[personal profile] tothosewhobait 2022-09-13 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
I can speak to other animals, I just happen to speak cat best.

Your pronunciation is flawless. Are you sure you don't speak cat?

[Carefully reaching out to move the bird back to it's perch]

I think you deserve another snack, don't you?

Re: ANIMAL ATTRACTIONS

[personal profile] doublefried 2022-09-13 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
He fluffs up happily. The bird heads over and eats some corn with idk a pack of tigers.

"We should get a couple, to bring with us. I think there's a key to that building somewhere..."
tothosewhobait: (I'ma get you fired)

Re: ANIMAL ATTRACTIONS

[personal profile] tothosewhobait 2022-09-13 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
Then let's get our snack and look for that key, hmm?

Re: ANIMAL ATTRACTIONS

[personal profile] doublefried 2022-09-13 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
"I think maybe an animal has it? Or maybe one of the zookeeper people. Or maybe it's just sitting around."
tothosewhobait: (All the things I could do)

Re: ANIMAL ATTRACTIONS

[personal profile] tothosewhobait 2022-09-13 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
Only one way to find out. Want to pick out snacks while I look around?

Re: ANIMAL ATTRACTIONS

[personal profile] doublefried 2022-09-13 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay. What kinds do you like?"
tothosewhobait: (All the things I could do)

Re: ANIMAL ATTRACTIONS

[personal profile] tothosewhobait 2022-09-13 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
...fried things. If there are any. Though anything bad for me is fine. Just...nothing healthy?

[Reaching out to pet a zebra he comes across]

Re: ANIMAL ATTRACTIONS

[personal profile] doublefried 2022-09-13 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
He nods and scurries off. He's definitely coming back with fried cheesecake or something.

The zebra seems to like the petting.

It has a feather stuck in its mane?
tothosewhobait: (Playing with his jewelry)

[Carefully plucking that one out of its mane and pocketing it gently.]

Re: ANIMAL ATTRACTIONS

As expected, the feather has a memory. Though it's more like a collage of memories- You're walking on the street and you can barely get four paces without being surrounded by crowds (loud crowds of people). They want photos, they want autographs, they want to touch your wings, they want to know more about you, about your life, about your hobbies and hey what kind of girl do you like? and people are giving you advice on what you SHOULD have done when you were in this or that crime and people are furious at you for your role in this major arrest or that minor misstep (they're so loud. you can hear them breathe. you can hear their heartbeats) and you smile and nod because this is what you're here for, for these people. Someone pets your wings and a child yanks at a feather and you don't react because you're here for these people, you smile and nod when people grab your arms or leap on you for hugs or scream out of excitement right by your ears (it's so LOUD), because this is what you're here for, you are here for these people -

Then it's over as fast as it started. The zebra gives him a comforting nudge.

There's a few pretty generic people dressed in the sort of coveralls you might expect of zookeepers about! At least one of them has a visible ring of keys.
