Sailor Tempesti heaved a sigh.. She wished that the smell of sulfur could have been a surprise, but given the past few weeks her feelings on the matter had shifted more toward resignation. She seemed destined to have encounter after encounter with the demon chicken or flock of demon chickens or whatever you called a group of supernatural poultry. At least the lavender wisp that had taken an apparent interest in her over her last few patrols didn’t seem to share their galline malice. Nests full of those nasty little eggs deflated any hope that the sulfurous odor might be the smoke from nearby fireworks, or better, a figment of her imagination. Maybe it was because she poked one of those eggs with a stick the first time she’d seen them. Maybe some external power just thought it was funny. Whatever the case, she couldn’t claim to be thrilled with the situation as she looked around for the glowing red eyes she knew were watching her from the shadows.

The last time Hati had seen Sailor Tempesti hadn't even been more than a couple of days ago. Still, it was because of her insight with the shrines and a donation she'd let him make that he'd had a very peaceful, restful night. He'd been hoping to stumble across another one of those shrines again, but he had yet to find one. Alas, he did need to actually patrol and try to guard against the Negaverse influence in DC, so he focused more on finding trouble and chasing it back into the dark tonight. Detecting a nearby aura, he decided to head for them, making his way swiftly towards them. He would enjoy having company—a thought he never would have had, a few years ago. Too much of a loner. He still was. But he felt a little more social, these days, by a scant amount. "Ah, Tempesti. Good to see you again," he said, then stopped to look around. She was looking at something... "That... doesn't feel like a youma." It bawked. Like a chicken. What?? Since when did Destiny City have demon chickens??

It seemed that Sailor Hati had yet to encounter any of those feathered miscreants in his patrols. It was unfortunate that his streak had to come to an end tonight. Unbeknownst to Tempesti, the red eyes she’d been seeking peered through the darkness at the back of her head. “It’s not, they’re very rude but they aren’t youma, and they’ll probably pay us a visit any moment now.”The sentence had barely passed her lips before the uproarious squawking reached a crescendo as the bird burst forth from the nearby shrubbery in an explosion of dirt and leaves. It swung its greasy wings wildly, grabbing in their direction with each clawed step. As she did her best to evade its wrath she shouted, “Don’t worry about the eggs,” she remembered her own concern for any potential demon chickens contained within the shells during her first encounter with them, “I’ve seen a bunch of these…lovely fellows… lately and the eggs have always been empty.”

Hati tilted his head at Tempesti, ready to ask a question, but before he could open his mouth, the evil chicken sprang forward, feathers flying, talons clacking, and beak squawking. He dodged to the side with a "Whoa!", rethinking his conceptions of the beast. It seemed swift and agile, and those talons were definitely no joke. For a moment, he almost felt like he was in the kitchen scene from the original Jurassic Park movie. Talons were basically toe knives. And terrifying ones at that. "Don't worry about them?" he repeated, whipping his head around to look for the nest. Maybe the crazy thing would run back to its nest if he got near it and then leave him and Tempesti alone if they ran away? Even if the eggs were empty, it clearly wanted to defend them. He ran for the nest, breathing fast and trying to stay away from the bird's sharp talons.

Tempesti watched as the other senshi charged toward the nest and it seemed like the monster chicken was thinking along similar lines as it began barreling toward him with a screech containing the fury of a thousand birds. “Don’t worry about hurting anything inside the eggs! They’re empty!” She wasn’t sure if that would have posed a problem for Hati, but she would rather err on the side of caution if it meant sending this bird packing sooner rather than later. Not wanting to leave Hati to deal with the cranky mass of feathers on his own, she pursued it as hard as her legs could carry her, swiping at the oily feathers that hung from its wing. Her unfortunately slippery grip only managed to hang on to them for a few seconds, hopefully enough time to give Hati a head start on any egg smashing.

Don't worry about hurting them. Okay, he decided that probably meant, "go ahead and destroy them, the bird will die of heartbreak" or something silly like that. He sprinted harder for the nest, hearing the ominous chicken gaining on him by the sound of the claws and the bawks getting closer and closer. s**t, s**t, s**t.Nearly out of breath, he jumped onto the nest and stomped on all the eggs as fast as he could, then scrambled back out of the nest. He fell on his behind as he backed up, watching the demonic beast look at the nest. It wailed in agony and vanished in a puff of smoke that smelled acrid. Rancid. Whatever. Disgusting, that was good enough. He coughed and waved at the air, trying to disperse the smell as he made his way back to Tempesti wearily. "That was not the adventure I'd been hoping for tonight," he said tiredly. "Had many run-ins with that thing, then?"

Tempesti heaved a sigh of relief when the thing vanished before it could attempt to eat Hati. Granted, she had no clue whether or not it actually ate people, they’d never hung around long enough for her to get a sense of their dietary habits. Which was probably a good thing, come to think of it. There were some things better left unknown. Like why they smelled like this. At least she was at the point where the bloody things didn’t make her gag. “Well, I’m not actually sure how many there are but this has to be the seventh or eighth time I’ve dealt with this…situation.” A slightly disgruntled expression flickered across her face. “Are you alright?” The other senshi didn’t look injured, thankfully, but she would rather ask than not.

"Yikes. At least you know what to do, then." He stretched, feeling himself out. "I'm fine. Just think I'm ready to go home, hah."

Tempesti nodded, glad that there were no injuries on their end. “Alright, have a good rest of your night. Hopefully uneventful.”The wisp sped over from its perch in a tree, not wanting to be left out as she walked into the night. genovianprince Works for me! Thanks for the RP
