mingle a little Mor tonight

Who: Everyone!
Broadcast: Sure!
Action: The wonderful world of Mor, nearby way-stations, and ships!
When: The first week or so of arrival

[this is it-- Atroma's surprise vacation stay for you all! it's time to explore, speculate, relax, and totally behave yourselves. right?

how are you all dealing with the ever-so-educational volcano? have you played around with the visual toggle on those collars yet? aren't they cool? aren't these peasant clothes rad? if you haven't had a decent meal since Abeo, maybe you could afford some of that authentic farm-raised meat they have here. historical!

I bet you're all excited and completely thrilled to be here! who wouldn't be? ...so, make some discoveries, make some friends, and have fun!]
ino: (Oh rly?)

Hmm ...

[ She acts like she's considering it, but the smile on her face says she likes it ]

Do you think a robin suits you?

I do. They're a very prideful bird. Some stories say they bring death, and others say that they bring the springtime.

[which he explains without any hesitation--he's confident in his answer.]
ino: (Thoughtful.)

Is that right ...

[ Conflicting stories seem to suit you, Robin! ]

Did your parents name you that? Or is it a nickname?
birdsbirdsbirds: (♥ just a humble storyteller)

[he chuckles a little. what a cute question...]

It's a nickname. My siblings and I all gave each other bird names.
ino: (Pardon?)

[personal profile] ino 2015-03-19 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
You have siblings?

[ Somehow this surprises her ]

You seem like the only child type.
birdsbirdsbirds: (♥ nice real estate you got there)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-19 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I was. Kind of. My siblings were adopted.

[it's the best of both worlds. she was kind of right.]
ino: (Teamwork.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-03-19 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Half-right! Aw yeah. ]

Ahh, got it.

So did they all have bird names too?
birdsbirdsbirds: (♥ hey buddy! we're buddies!)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-19 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep. Robin, Finch, Crow, Quail, Woodpecker, Falcon, Blackbird, Linnet, and Sparrow.

[he lists all nine of them like it's nothing. doesn't even bother listing them on his fingers. he knows all the names by heart.]
ino: (Smile.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-03-20 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ Cute ... he loves his siblings ...

At least, that's what she gets out of it ]


Woodpecker? What'd that poor kid do to get a nickname like that?
birdsbirdsbirds: (♥ onto the next bad habit)

[he... kind of laughs, guiltily.]

We were so mean to him. He had... Ah, some kind of deficiency. His bones were kind of bent wrong, had bowed legs. We used to pick on him all the gods-damned time because he couldn't walk very well.

Showed us all when he built himself some splints. And a rope-suspension network. Zipped through the air while the rest of us unworthy children were left on the boring ground.

Exactly what we deserved. Woodpecker. Built stuff out of wood.
