Quote: Poultrygeist (15) : As Destiny City is a bustling metropolis, it’s not unexpected that there should be some strange animals running the streets. Sometimes it’s a tiger, sometimes a monkey, sometimes a chicken. Sometimes it’s something worse. Strange egg clusters have appeared in Destiny City’s parks and officials aren’t really sure what they are; these eggs have nothing inside of them. Though it’s an anomaly, they are chalking it up to teenaged pranks. However, they have advised to just leave the eggs as they are. Nobody wants to say why, but if you’re out late at night, you’ll find out. In the darkness, whispered between the sounds of the city: a guttural, rasping cluck. The creature stands on stilt-like legs, rooted to the ground with razor-sharp talons. It wears a cloak of long, oily feathers that drag on the ground with a sinister scraping. If you stare into the darkness, piercing red eyes stare back at you. That’s all it takes for a confrontation: a mangled bird, maybe a chicken in another life, comes barreling out at you. It stands easily as tall as a person, but the proportions are all wrong. The smell of sulfur follows it as it lunges, pecking and screaming and scratching as it attempts to chase you away. Maybe, from the nests full of empty eggs. The battles are fierce, but fleeting; it will viciously try to chase you away but the effects are always the same: at some point, the eggs are crushed. As always, there’s nothing inside of them, but with one final wail, the bird will vanish into a plume of foul smoke.
Note: If you choose to encounter one of these bird-like creatures, your character will recognize they are not youma. It is impossible to tell if it is a single entity or if there are many. The bird does not seem to understand or care to listen to human words. It will always disappear in a malodorous plume of smoke and leave nothing but a foul odor and a clutch of empty, broken eggs behind. This RP can be used as a battle requirement as long as there are two powered characters involved; you must be interacting with another player’s powered character. This does not count as the one youma battle per stage for growth so characters can still use an NPC youma battle as well as this one for growth purposes. This can only be used as a battle requirement once per character, but there is no limitation for how many times a player can use this prompt.
The problem was how to keep away from clutches of eggs that were just randomly laid all about the city? It was impossible and he should have known not to go wandering through the city park, looking to grab energy from people, with Omen at his side tonight as the mauvian had wanted out of the house for the night. He knew he would run into a nest of eggs, it was why he wasn’t surprised when he did, but he still froze and stared. Hadn’t he heard someone earlier today, at the grocery store, talking about a large chicken which had attacked her nephew.
s**t. “Omen…”

Getting out was nice, even if it meant that work might happen for the Negaverse with Kioshi. Apparently the big thing that both of his food providers had gone to deal with was over with which was good but that didn’t mean they were done with all the boring job stuff like draining and fighting.
But whatever he’d been thinking about, that poofed from his mind as he saw some bird. Whatever Kioshi had said didn’t register because immediately Omen pounce forward and hissed at the thing in all it’s angry and not great looking birdliness.
“Lemme eat youuu.” Whining as he bapped at it, the thing didn’t take the swatting lightly. It was maybe a bit bigger than Omen had anticipated but Kioshi was here so it’d be fine, totally fine.

His own eyes had been on the eggs, not the damn bird, it was big and looked mean. “Omen!” Shouting at the mauvian in an effort to get it away from the bird, maybe even to spook the bird so it wouldn’t attack the cat. “Please…don’t.” Never mind, Omen had decided not only to go after it but to hit it in the face with a paw. Omen was no small cat, and might still have some growing to do, but the bird was nearly as tall as he was and while it looked like it had been tossed into a car wash it was clearly capable of putting up a fight.
The corrupt senshi was just in time to save his furry companion as the bird lunged for Omen, intending to perhaps try and turn the cat into a meal. “Omen, please don’t try and fight something bigger than you.” Hitting the ground he held onto the cat, protecting the other, as he twisted and turned so he could eye the bird which was letting out some angry scream. Great…just what he needed…a fight with a bird that had escaped a perdue chicken farm.

This bird didn’t look at that tasty but he still wanted to swat and bap at it in an effort to make it dinner. At least until it went to peck him and his human had plopped down to try and keep the thing off him.
“But but it’s not a youma right?” He remember the warning about those things and what they were supposed to feel like but this thing wasn’t that. Sure it was gross and angry with weird eggs that smelled rotten, but it definitely felt normal even while looking so very far from it.
When it reared up to kick at him and Miyamoto, he hissed and tried to swat at it from his hiding spot in the other’s arms. “Let. Me. Eat. You.” Demanding as he connected his paw with the thing again, it made an ear piercing noise and he knew that wouldn’t be good for the other.

“No, it’s not a youma.” It certainly didn’t feel like one, not that he was close to one of these birds, but if not that than what? It wasn’t a normal bird either, far from it. It was something magical for certain, or maybe cosmic, no matter though…he didn’t like this bird.
Moving with Omen in his arms, trying to keep the cat from touching the bird, he tried to put some distance between them and the bird. “Will you stop, if anything it’s going to eat you. If you want chicken so bad I’ll make some at home.” This was not the time or the place to go about helping yourself to a meal, not when it could and would fight back. He had a feeling, for a brief moment, that Omen would on his own go out and kill neighborhood birds. Whether he’d scare them to death, beat them up in an attempt at playing with them, or out right eat them he didn’t know.
“We need to leave, this is dangerous.” And to prove his point the damn bird decided to peck at him. Sharp and painful and right at his arm. Jerking in surprise he pulled his arm back, wondering if he’d be bleeding from this, as he tried to create distance but the bird seemed inclined to disagree with his want for space.

So if it wasn’t a youma he could eat it, right? But it might not taste that good… It was frustrating that he wasn’t allowed to hunt the thing, though. Wiggling in their arms, he tried to remember the other things he could do as a mauvian. It seemed like some cool stuff from what he remembered Katya saying, but there were also some warnings.
Those warnings were cast aside as the evil demon chicken had the audacity to attack not just him but his human as well. Squinting his eyes he tried to focus and figure out how to do the thing that Katya had told him was used as a last resort.
It worked, well sort of, it left Omen dizzy and yowling slightly but the laser beam thing had happened and the evil chicken seemed to have stopped pecking them both. “Roasted duck, not chicken.” The thing smelled worse after being lasered, and he wasn’t sure if that was something he wanted to eat anymore.

“Duck, sure.” Not a duck but also not a normal chicken. He also wasn’t planning on sticking around. Seeing as it seemed stunned, something it appeared to be shaking off, he managed to put some distance down and teleport them as far away as he could - across the city. He was not interested in being found by that damn thing again.
“Would you be happy if I grew some baby chicks for you to hunt down in the house and eat?” It might seem a bit savage, and cruel even, but did the corrupt actually care? Not really. If his cat would eat a baby chick than he would get an egg or two, online of course, and hatch them out and let the chicks become walking, chirping, meals for Omen to stalk and hunt…and eat.

The sound of that seemed nice but then he thought about how it might bother the other human, they hated things getting messy. Grumbling at things for a moment, he settled into their arms. “Just dinner now, something good to eat.” Mostly because his head hurt and he thought eating might make it better.
“Home to Lorcan’s I want to lay on his couch.” It was nice getting to choose where he’d be laying down each time and it gave him the option to also pick and choose what he ate since both humans kept different things in their pantries.

It was like sharing a child really, he could imagine this is what parents who didn’t live together went through, as he listened to the others request for Lorcna’s home. “Alright, Lorcan’s it is.” He’d ask Omen what he wanted for dinner once he got there. It would be another teleport, to get closer, and then he’d power down and walk the rest of the way. It was just a good thing that they now lived down the block from each other, it made going between homes so much easier.
Seeing as Omen hadn’t answered about him hatching out some chicks Kioshi was thinking that the idea was on the table still, he’d look into things tomorrow when he was back at his home. He could keep them at his home, and clean up the messes Omen would surely make. "Come, time to get moving." A glance to the wisp of magic, or something, that had been following them around all night. The wisp gave off no signature, he didn't know what it was, but it hung around him from time to time. It had proven to be harmless thus far and was thus welcome to join him when it wished to do so.
The first teleport would be easy, as he scooped up Omen, it was no easy task holding the fluffy mauvian but he managed it.
