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. Growing up spending copious amounts of time on a farm had left Aruna fairly used to angry poultry. She had been chased by a turkey the size of her as a small child, had been pecked at by countless chickens, and had gotten used to just avoiding birds in general. Nothing, however, could have ever prepared her for tonight; the event that would solidify her suspicion that poultry was, in fact, a thing of evil. It started out as a normal patrol. All quiet, all calm, no big bad evil magical people to deal with. Aruna was finally starting to let herself relax as it wound down. And that was her first mistake. Passing by an empty alleyway, she heard it. That strange rasping sound like a haunted cluck. Freezing mid-step, her eyes slowly drifted over to the dark opening of the alley, praying nothing was looking back at her. God. She really didn't need the demon chickens Mason told her about to cross her path. She really did not want to deal with that nonsense. Especially not alone.

The entrance to the alleyway did not long remain empty, from it soon swooped a flash of black poured over green, three long, slender beaks, a tail fanning to barely slow the speed of the large toddler sized tribis. The slender necked creature clutching a singular, smashed egg between clawed feet. The egg dribbled with empty contents splatting along behind the creatures path— Echoing after the creature in fleeing flight were obvious shouts of annoyance, a man in the alley cursing the creature as a coward. Before some greater noise started up in earnest. There was more than the voice of a man now— The echo of metallic spikes scaling along crumbling walls, ominous clucking amped to roaring roostelry screams, the sounds of honest to gods fighting. Chicken versus man, but now it sounded closer, loud— Albite was uncaring of who remained outside the exit of the alley, he burst through it in a wave of jangling dreads, barely escaping the snap of a monstrous beak nearly a head taller than he was in heels!! “The ******** do seven foot monster chickens even come from?!!? Alley chickens— laying alley eggs — Cerbs you a**, get back here!!” and he was hit with the wall of Etenral Order Aura in the most ‘ oh hai mark’ way — his eyes lighting over the girl, full of sudden ideas, an instant before — “Binding Retribution!!” And he barely had space to yank her towards him, not that it mattered whether he was able to get her close, so long as be could throw her in the path of the newest feature of his own personal nightmare fodder!

A three headed chicken. A three headed chicken!? What the hell was this city even on!? A Hell Mouth like in Buffy??? Aruna stood frozen to the spot as her poor brain tried to understand the utter monstrosity that was coming towards her. It hit her belatedly that there was someone, someone decidedly NOT Order, behind the massive creature, but it was too late for her to react properly. With a yelp, the Eternal Senshi felt herself being yanked. "s**t!" A rare expletive from the girl, but she felt the situation warranted it as her feet left the ground. Trying to brace herself, she felt herself smash against what she could only describe as a "solid wall of himbo" later. "What the hell???" She looked up at him with a positively bewildered expression as she tried to regain her footing, keeping the chicken monster in the corner of her vision. "I was going to try attacking it! Are you nuts?" Right now, it was a lot less about the fact he was the enemy and much more about the fact they were now on the same side of the giant fowl. Looking at the creature again, she grit her teeth. This was probably going to take a lot more than just a basic attack, but starting out small was best she figured. "Rocky Sweep!" Her foot stomped hard on the ground and a wave of ethereal landslide swept towards the monster, though it seemed to do little more than make it pause.... and possibly piss it off. "Well.....s**t."

That was decidedly not the plan! “<********>!” As she failed to trip up chicken’zilla and bounced into him instead, Albite was cursing his own luck under his breath as the creature whipped around, and the Order Senshi half all over him started to speak. “Naw, hey! You go on and have at it — girl power — ladies first — best of luck to ya!“ Hands suddenly up, very much not touching, trying instead to shuffle away. His encouragement fading fast as Order Senshi did something….. To piss the foul, fowl off “— tell me that’s not all you got…” He uttered plaintively from just behind her, giving her a look like he expected more, and quickly!

As the man tried to shirk away, Aruna reached up on instinct and grabbed his wrist with a surprisingly firm grip from such a tiny girl. "You saw it first, you can stay and help." She scowled at the massive chicken, muttering under her breath. "I always knew chickens were evil but this is ridiculous..."Pale brown eyes assessed the situation again, glancing over the chicken before launching another attack. "Raging Slide!" A much stronger landslide swept towards the monster, this time making it seem to stumble backwards. She seemed just the slightest bit relieved that the creature was actually affected this time. Looking over her shoulder, she addressed the man. "Got anything in your magic that might help?" She didn't want to waste all of her magic. Not yet. Especially not if the person with her might be able to do some damage as well.

" Soooo....this is what? Finders keepers rules? Just because I accidentally walk into whatever this city spits out on the yearly, it somehow becomes my job t'kill it...." And maybe it'd been his fault for pissing the creature off? Still--- didn't mean he wanted to deal with it like this! The look he gave her as she grabbed him, a barely withheld scowl, as much as he supposed fair and fair was fair alike! He didn't like being ordered about by anyone, not even in roundabout or halfways passive manner. Of all the people that could tell him what to do -- of all the moods he was in -- and he was going to slowly pluck and roast Cerbs the second he got home! If ever I get my hands on that egg snatching brat that'd started all this!Sighing in a disgruntled manner as he watched her work, the city ground before them going all sloshy as a mudbound slip n' slide under the creatures clawed, chicken feet. He counted, a rarity, an old lesson so very kindly taught and he so very ********' rarely cared about seconds--- Except in a situation like this---'The ******** had Cerbs been thinking -- three heads -- not one single thought -- comes by it godamned honestly I guess. The tribis fruit fell real close to the shrubbery with that one.'"Yanno? I might have something---" Sounding like he had a trick up his sleeve, maybe a monster bound round his throat? Surely! Some powerful sort of skill that'd wipe the screeching, struggling creature off the face of existence. Instead, Albite turned her need to keep him close as backup against her -- humming a laugh as inky tendrils slid off his flesh and wrapped round her nearest limb. As he pulled again-- another amount of feet through the void-space -- to the nearest store-flat roof that overlooked the alley-spilled-sidewalk scene from a ' close enough to watch', yet still ' far enough away' to piss the chicken *all the way off* over losing its prey, distance. "M'not your pit-dog, pretty. Y'don't get t'tell me to fight for you." He growled as he stared her down, snapping the weak, basic bind once their heels touched pebbly grit and rooftarp.
