video } take these broken wings and learn to fly

[ateherdirt]

[There's a girl staring at the camera very intently. She frowns, staring at it very intently, before she notices that it's already recording and scowls.]

I guess this is way more sensitive to touch when you use fingers, huh? Well. I'm not a bird anymore.

[She shrugs a shoulder. She doesn't really feel the need to add more explanation than that.]

If anyone needs me, I'll be eating waffles.

[She squints and frowns again, then presses a few buttons that are definitely wrong before she ends the feed.]



(ooc: Beatrice got a pair of scissors in her stocking that let her clip away her wings and become human again! From now on, I'll be using this journal for her.)

[Of course, Wirt already knew about this and is very happy for her, but he can't help it - he snickers a little.]

Is that seriously all you're going to say about it? That's basically like, inviting everybody here to ask you nosy questions. There's going to be like a dozen people waiting for you when you go get your waffles, bothering you forever.

[ateherdirt]

I don't have to tell them anything. And they don't know where me and my waffles will be.

[singloversing]

It's not like it's that had to figure out? I mean, how many different places can someone even eat waffles here?

[Why does he get the feeling that this is about to turn into "Hide And Seek: Waffles Edition" somehow?]

[ateherdirt]

You can eat waffles wherever you want to eat waffles. It's not like there's a waffle eating ban in some places.

[beatupgrass]

Oh look. She's a humie.

Again.

[this always happens. Y U GOTTA BE LIKE THAT TALKING ANIMAL... semi-bros.]

[ateherdirt]

And now I'm taller than you.

[beatupgrass]

You try to kick me once, and you're gonna wish you still could fly.

[ateherdirt]

Are you planning on hanging out right around my feet? Cause I can't make any promises.

[Honestly, she's more likely to go with rock throwing.]

[rosswood]

oh hey its bird girl
how'd you do that

[ateherdirt]

I can do writhed messaged bow! What us the point of this or of sloe and the words keep being Eric's.

[rosswood]

[rosswood]

are you not used to writing with hands
because autocorrect's a bitch

[ateherdirt]

Eh don't have tekephoned they can type whet I come Tom!

[Ugh. She switches to voice.]

What exactly is the point of that? It seems like a really stupid way to communicate when we can just talk like normal people.

[doods]

Oh, congrats! [ He knows none of the details, but to counter his lack of knowledge: YOLO. ]

Waffles are one of the most respectable victory foods out there, dude. You can put whatever you want on 'em, and holding a fork really helps get you back into using your thumbs.

[ateherdirt]

[...if he weren't about five times as big, she could swear she was talking to Greg.]

It's not bugs, so I'm happy.

[doods]

Haha, I know, right? Like, I switched bodies with this pig back home once-- being an animal is crazy stuff. You kinda learn to appreciate what you've got, but I feel like I lost some time just trying to open doors. You earned that bug-free breakfast food.

video;

[ateherdirt]

[...that wasn't really what she expected to hear.]

Why did you switch bodies with a pig?

[wecandobetter]

Whoa, Beatrice!

[ Look who's happy to see you again, even more so as a human.]

What happened?

[ateherdirt]

I turned back. It's permanent this time.

[That doesn't... really answer the question, but hey.]

[wecandobetter]

[ He doesn't want to ask her if she's sure. She was adamant enough about not deserving it last time that she probably doesn't need any negativity, especially from him. ]

How's it feel?

[ateherdirt]

Pretty good. [Not being smashed over the head with how many regrets she had makes this a much more fun human experience.] I really like eating things that aren't bugs.

[video forever]

[goodwoofjames]

[Sirius smiles into the camera.]

You made a beautiful bird and you make a charming girl.

[ateherdirt]

[Haha. Charming. Spoken like someone she hasn't thrown a rock at. Yet. She squints at him suspiciously. No one is that flattering if they're not trying to get something.]

...what do you want?

[goodwoofjames]

[Sirius snorts and holds his hands up defensively.]

Just paying you a compliment. You managed to change back last time you were here, but I never got a chance to speak with you about it.

[To that end:]

Do you miss flying?

[ateherdirt]

No.

[It's not as fun or easy as people always think it is, not for a bluebird, at least, who does more flapping than soaring, and it's not remotely worth eating bugs and having no control of her bowels.]
