[PRP] Fanciful Encounters (Blue Jay x Outcry)

[PeterPan_da144]

tab Ever since he had... Woken? Awoken? Awakened? What word should he use? Ah, he shook his head, feathers ruffling. Ever since he appeared at the beach with the other Flightless, Blue Jay had been craving something. He did not remember anything about himself, not even his name. He just knew he was a he, and he knew how to talk, walk, and breathe. As well as other bodily functions. But he had no idea where he came from, nor remembered anything else about himself.

tab Yet there was this thing within him. Deep within him. It told him to move. To explore. To find his place in this world. He had split off from many of the other Flightless, though he definitely felt lost without a flock. It was strange yet exciting. He obtained his name along the road, when a pony compared him to a blue jay sitting in a tree. He liked the name, so he kept it, trotting along. Ponies on the road were willing to share bits and pieces of their food with him, and he tried to help them where he could.

tab Eventually, he was on a long, winding road with no pony in sight. It was getting a little dim in the sky, heading towards dusk. Blue Jay had been traveling for several days. Perhaps he should hunker down again for the night. Slowly, he meandered off the road and towards the trees, hoping to find a nice, secluded spot where he would be sheltered from the wild of the night.

The pain in their leg was getting worse no matter how much Outcry was attempting to deny it. They knew very little magic to alleviate such a thing (studying magic had been of zero interest) and whatever supplies they'd carried in a saddlebag weren't enough. How had they missed that drop? Well, Outcry knew how they had considering they were the one making the map of this area; making sure such a thing was highlighted many times over was the most important thing in the future.

For now though they were whimpering softly, doing their best to keep any weight off the injured limb. Walking on three wasn't impossible and would just be difficult; if they wanted to not spend the night in a place like this with exposure a sure thing they'd need to get moving. "....shoulda brought along some way of contacting someone." Outcry's current traveling was a bit of a rebellion, having refused to tell their parents where they were going. They assumed the two unicorns knew their love of travel after all, but, the duo probably didn't know the full reason.

The rumors, the sightings. The regret that was overflowing at this moment.

". . . . this really sucks." They spoke loudly, fairly certain no one else was around.
