Welcome to Gaia! ::

((It just occurred to me you still need to roll for the Gender of your Murkow in the OCC. I always forget we do that.))

Victoria's next encounter would be with a Ducklett, yet despite their surroundings it wasn't flying at all, in fact it appeared to be swimming through the sea of clouds...wait...was that the backstroke!? This was no normal Ducklett! As if to prove this in a verbal manner the Water-Type would abruptly call out ">QUACK! Quack quack. Quackity quaaaack<" Yup, he was quacking...intentionally and even in the Pokemon language. Suddenly flipping, the Ducklett would flap only twice before ">Woo! Woo! Woowhooo!!!! Vrrrr<" Invisible bicycle. Now it appeared to be riding in circles on a nonexistent bicycle, hands (wings?), flippers and posterior all perfectly positioned as if the item were actually there. Apparently this one had fallen a few feet short of the duckpond.

One crazy bird deserved another as the saying went...or was that how it went? No matter, Victoria was about to bare witness to the event in question anyway! Shuddering and shifting, her Pokemon Egg would begin to crack as a large yellow beak began pecking away from inside. Large chips would fall away, vanishing into the clouds below. When at last the small Pokemon broke free it would burst into the air, dark pink feather's shimmering faintly in the light, before promptly hugging Victoria with wide spread wings ">Momma!<" The Murkrow cawed, though after a moment's pause it would begin feeling around with the tips of it's wings, patting the girl's flat chest with an expression of mild confusion. A moment further and the bird would exclaim with a loud caw ">DADDY!<" Oh boy.

Venturing further on this particular path, Victoria would find a large black cloud on the horizon...or at least it appeared that way until the cloud abruptly moved to the left...and then up. Steadily it seemed to be getting bigger...was it coming closer? A chorus of flaps would greet her ears, followed closely by a number of loud, croaking caws...it was an entire flock of Murkrow! Which was incidently known as a 'Murder'. This could turn out very good, or very bad for the girl...either way it was sort of ironic.

An odd thing would occur when the girl called out to the birds. All at once the flapping black mass would condense into a single shape, forming a giant question mark in the air. Immediately following a single member of the murder would fly over, circling the girl once before giving a sharp caw. Once this message was sent the sky would almost literally turn black with Murkrow, not just the members of the flock the girl had seen, but smaller patrols coming in from all directions.

For a moment the birds would transform into a swirling black mass, like an angry cloud of Combee; but when they finally ceased they would condense once more, clearly forming the word "HELLO!" A few moments further however an an angry caw would and the ruffling of feathers would rise from within. The Murkrow would spiral, condense, then form an accusing arrow pointing straight at Eve. The next instant they'd have formed into would could only be describe as a large, frowny face. Apparently they were not pleased, and required an explanation of some sort.

Altogether the Murkrow would tilt their heads at the girl, then in a rather confusing turn of events they'd all turn away from her, the entire mob gathering in a series of huddles...how were they even managing to do that without flapping? The nonsensical sounds of whispers and random caws would be all that greeted the girl's ears for some time, till at last the black birds would nod all at once, and the murder once more began to form a shape. This time their black mass would condense, forming a silhouette of a Pokemon. A guessing game indeed, but not charades...and not for Victoria.

The strikes would be abrupt as both Aella and Eve were knocked from Victoria, and the girl in question was lifted high into the air by a group of Murkrow which had split off from the others. Flying her closer to the murder they would continue upwards till even the clouds wouldn't save her should she fall. It would seem this was something like hangman, except the man was a girl, and their would be no rope to halt her descent! That meant the guessing would be up to Aella and Eve!

Who's that Pokemon!
Objective: Guess correctly 3 times out of 5!
Rules: Guess right, or Victoria falls!

Too easy, that is what the Murkrow were clearly thinking, as they began realigning themselves, the mass of feathers forming a variety of shapes as they became another silhouette in the sky; yet this time around there was something off, and after a moment of staring Aella would realize why. It wasn't one pokemon, but two!
