A Thing with Feathers

[makewashirahen]

Yanagi, I should tell you that I've finished with the 'batch' you provided me with. It was quite volatile, and I fear I may never quite recover from the experience.

Atobe, Hiyoshi, I hear you'll be spending some quality time among Athene's comrades. Do be careful, they tend to peck.

Mm, probably not a realistic solution, but surely they don't all peck without cause? Perhaps if you charm him to appear as an owl treat?

[chinmoku]

They all peck without cause. Or maybe the cause is Atobe-senpai, I wouldn't blame them. It's sort of hard with a confiscated wand.

[makewashirahen]

They don't tend to do that without provocation. Perhaps you and Keigo need to be less prickly around them? There might be rogue Polyjuice makers on the loose somewhere

[chinmoku]

Less prickly? Imagine yourself in my shoes for a second. That I turn into an owl treat sacrifice?

[makewashirahen]

I am very, very glad that I don't have to. Or find a sacrificial lamb

[chinmoku]

But are you sure you don't want to? I might be able to provide polyjuice.

[makewashirahen]

Why in the heavens would I want to?

[chinmoku]

For the... uhm............ life experience?

[makewashirahen]

One owl gives me sufficient experience, thank you, Hiyoshi.

[chinmoku]

But the experience of a hundred beaks and talons...! An experience like that is like a rite of passage.

[makewashirahen]

Passage into a terrible avian disease, it sounds like

[chinmoku]

Yes. But. Recovering would be an experience all on its own.

[makewashirahen]

An experience that would leave me regretting the day I allowed you to sell this idea to me?



(ooc: I should point out that I am DYING at Hiyoshi's awesome sales technique XD)

[chinmoku]

Nonsense! There's no such thing as a bad experience.


[ooc: :D]

[makewashirahen]

Being savaged by a thousand angry owls just might be the one to break that myth

[chinmoku]

And what better experience is there than being the one to break it?

[makewashirahen]

I can think of several alternatives

[chinmoku]

Like?
