Who: A bird and you
Broadcast: Y
Action: Wonderduck, if you wanna
When: At ass o'clock in the AM

guess im just wondering
because its kind of hard to tell between abrupt disappearances and people lapsing into comas for days
or sometimes weeks
but how long has it been since you went back where you came from
or remembered something that you didnt before
and how long would it take before you get the feeling youre not gonna go back again

[Naval gazing at three in the morning in the Wonderduck kitchen is a go.]

Comments

[feathery]

hes my best friend and he likes punching things
and his room is next to mine so hes pretty much the best person to ask at short notice

[#impeccable logic]

[robitussin]

does the list of things he likes punching include you

bc if so you need better friends

[feathery]

he only tried to punch me in earnest once and that was under the influence of a full moon
so i think im good
i hope
otherwise ill have to start worrying about a mutiny and i didnt want the captain gig in the first place

[robitussin]

hahaha your captain is a werewolf

[feathery]

im a bird actually

[robitussin]

whaaaaat

how are you typing

[feathery]

are you telling me youve never seen a bird use an iphone

[robitussin]

should i have??

[feathery]

yes
its totally preposterous that texting birds are not a cross dimensional constant
the very idea that no one makes talon friendly keyboards is offensive

[So basically he's full of shit.]

[robitussin]

idk i'm not convinced

switch to video

[feathery]

they didnt make the video function beak friendly

[robitussin]

if you can type you can turn on the video

[feathery]

you first

video

[robitussin]

i'm not the one saying i'm a bird but ok

[and, true to her word, she switches to the video function. it looks like she's at a table in the kitchen of her ship.]

Happy?

[feathery]

[And Davesprite begrudgingly replies in kind. He's even in a similar location, complete with a fridge covered in magnets spelling out a variety of swears behind him.

He's a lot less orange than his icons imply, but still feathery.]

Yeah, I'm one hundred percent reassured I didn't accidentally stumble my way into a conversation with a cat.

[robitussin]

—Oh my god, you were telling the truth. I mean, I've seen a lot of weirder stuff, but I definitely thought you were bullshitting me.

[feathery]

[That gets a soft snort from him.]

Eh, I was half bullshitting you. [He holds up his hands.] It's not like typing's much of a struggle.

[robitussin]

That is still 50% less bullshit than I was expecting.

...If I ask about the half bird thing, is that species...ist?

[feathery]

Nah, I'm kind of a freak by any standard. It's not every day you meet a guy who did a fusion dance with a fuckin' skewered bird thing.

[robitussin]

I don't know if I would say freak. Don't sweat it too much, I've seen weirder.

[feathery]

What's the weirdest shit you've seen.

[robitussin]

Do you actually want to know the answer to that question?

[feathery]

Sure. It'll be educational. And possibly make me regret asking, but that sounds about right for the hour.

[robitussin]

Okay, so before I start you have to understand that all of the people I'm about to describe were basically godlike beings with incredible power.

[feathery]

O...k? I can roll with that.

[He's just gonna wait for this to make sense. As much as anything makes sense in his life.]
