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.

Aa...I'll keep looking then.

Is the new boss as bad as I'm assuming yours was?

"He's got the same job as me and then some. Dunno if the best boss in the world would make a difference."
tothosewhobait: (But you gotta put in work)

Mmm....about what I thought then.

"But so far he hasn't snapped and killed any of the wrong people, so his performance is overall way better than mine."
tothosewhobait: (Maybe)

I'm not sure a "good performance" is a good thing. If you'll excuse me, I need to find him now.

"Go for it. Good luck, bud."

The EXIT signs both point to a wall of bars. They're not thick like the bars in human jails; they're the thin, delicate, golden bars of a birdcage.

And then another birdcage beyond that. And then another, and then another, and then another until it forms a solid wall.

Your companion, through a mouthful of cotton candy, points and says, "It's on the other side of that."

Your place is through there? How do you usually get through?

"Well... normally I'm on that side and he's on this side. We don't go back and forth a lot."

[Going to check out the bars]

They seem like normal birdcage bars! They'd be tough but not impossible for a human of average strength to bend or snap. There's just so many layers of cage bar that it looks like a solid wall, so it might take a while.

[Time to put many arms to work]
doublefried: (175)

Re: BACKSTAGE

[personal profile] doublefried 2022-09-14 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Many strong arms make light work! It still takes an irritatingly long time to create a gap large enough to fit through.

"Wow, you ARE really strong!"
tothosewhobait: (But I think I know better)

I'm just built a little different.

"It's cool..."

Fresh air is coming in through the gap now. It looks like you could squeeze through.
tothosewhobait: (Maybe you're killing me)

Re: BACKSTAGE

[personal profile] tothosewhobait 2022-09-14 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Laughs lightly, squeezing through]

Thank you for saying so. I think your wings are quite "cool" too.

[personal profile] doublefried 2022-09-14 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
On the other side it's quiet.

"Thanks..."
