It was an average day, and average afternoon, in an average part of Candy Land. Everything was cheerful and bright, as usual.. Except for one beautiful female Numa, who was... quite annoyed.
Glowing blue eyes glared up at the tree branches above her. All the savory candy fruits, her favorites, had either fallen off and ruined, or been taken already by other hungry passerbys. All except for one. And of course, it was on the highest twig on the highest branch. Her hair was more ruffled than usual, though her fish were working overtime to straiten it. Why? Cause she had already tried climbing the tree three or four times.. Each time falling back to the ground. And of course she couldn't fly. Heights and her did not mix. But, of course... she was too stubborn to give up.
She glanced around coldly, walking around the tree till she found some small rocks and pebbles. Then she leaned back on her hind legs and started chucking them at the high hanging fruit.

it was a pretty tree, with many leaves, and much shade, which far more comforting then the hot sun on black feathers. and the best part of it all, was that the tree was covered in gleaming glittering candies. Poe ruffled his wings, head tilting to either side and he poked around the inside of the tree for the best looking candy to bring back to his owner. though his search was interrupted, as something even more interesting distracted him. it started with the noise of someone trying to climb up the tree. and what he found was... for the moment more interesting then the candies. he sat in silence within the tree, watching her struggle. before he knew it, something small and hard hit him right in the chest. causing him to Caw and flap his wings around wildly, bursting out of the tree and landing on the ground. small Grey eyes giving her a disapproving look.

Calypso yelped and scampered back as the black feathered creature suddenly fell to the ground beside her. She'd never seen a creature quite like it.. There were birds in Candyland, but they were all usually very brightly colored. She blinked, then crouched low to the ground and poked at it with the tip of her paw, then stepped back in case it snapped at her or had some other negative reaction.

Poe cocked his head as she got closer to it. he was to busy looking over her patterns, and... glowing eyes... and those amazing... glowy things swimming around her to realize what she was doing.
surprised once again by the poke, he cawed several times. flapping his wings and taking off into the air "Nevermore!" it called down at her.
his mind was not far away from those glows... he just had to show his master! she would praise him for the that prize.
swooping back down, he whizzed past her head. swiftly snatching one of the fish from her, and continuing on over the field.

"Nevermore..?" She grimaced at the bird, thinking it must be quite stupid.. She was prepared to turn and leave, when it snatched down to steal... Atlas! THe poor fish, he's always the one getting stolen or lost. "HEY!!" She screamed and quickly scampered after if, a woman on a mission. "Bring it back!"

unaware it had a a followed Poe flew on, towards a small forest in the distance, it didn't take long for the Raven to disappear into the trees, heading to the center of the wood. pulling his wings back, he slowed at he entered a very small clearing, centered with a large hard caramel tree. all manor of silver, and glass object draping from its aged branches, giving the tree a glimmering, almost starry look to it. nestled outside a large hole in the side of the tree, a grown figure sat fiddling with something in her paws. small, masked eyes turning up only at the approach of her pet Raven. "whats this?" she said, her voice no more them a smooth coo. reaching her hand out as the bird drew closer, letting Poe drop what he was carrying in her hand.

"Atlaaaaas!" She whined, continuing to sprint after the bird. She managed to keep it in eyesight until it flew into the forest.. She cursed and pushed herself to go faster, desperate to get her fish back. She stood and looked around once she was in the trees, panting heavily.
"ATLAS! You dumb black chicken, give me my fish back!!" She yelled at the trees around her, then continued on, looking around for any trace of the damned ball of feathers.

her paw quickly closed around the living glow. dipping her beak lower, her beady masked eyes trailing over and taking in the features of the new gift from Poe.
it appeared to be a glowing fish...
"fascinating" she chirped under her breath.
but a second later her ears fanned forward, head darting up to in the direction of where an uproar was coming from the forest.
head flicking over to Poe for a moment, she extended her long wings, the dark feathers gleaming like wet tar.
a powerful swoop of her wings propelled her into the air, and she took off into the forest.
it did not take her very long to find the source of the noise. and not being to shy about being seen. she glided directly overhead and colorful female. head cocking to the side as she snuck a glimpse down at her. and landing easily in a tree to the back of Calypso. Fish still grasped in her paw, she sat rather twitchy up in the tree, watching the colorful female.

Calypso continued to whine and cry and scream for her fish, pausing to look around franticly. "You damn bird, I'll tear your wings off when I find you!!" She threatened to the trees around her. Though.. she was starting to give up hope. She sighed, ears pressed against her head distressedly.
It was obvious the fish belonged to her.. after all, there was 3 identical ones bobbing around her wings sadly, mourning the loss of their brother.

it made a little more sense to Crime now. this glowing prize belonged to this female, Poe must have snatched it from her, it was a bad habit of his after all.
holding her paw out she carefully opened it to let the fish go. lowering her paw and looking back to the female
"would you really be able to tear his wings off?" she asked, feeling a real consern for her friend. "I'm certain that would hurt far to much for a small bird to survive"

Calypso blinked and turned quickly to fce the 'bird'. Her eyes widdened, slightly afraid. Well, that mask WAS fairly frightening when it was staring at you from some shady tree. But then she noticed Atlas floating towards her.. She yelped and scooped him up in her paws, holding him close and nuzzling him against her cheek. "Oh Atlas!" She cried. "I was soooo worrried about yooou!" The fish squeaked and cooed against her before she finally let it go to drift to her wings and say hello to it's siblings.
Calypso turned back to Crime and frowned up at her accusingly. "I'm not sure, but I'd like to! He stole my fish! I'd be heart broken without him!"

head sharply tilting to either side, as she listened to Calypso, she made a low sound with her throat, that very much resembled a crows whining. abruptly followed by her jumping off the tree, landing softly on the ground in a crouch, her wings fanned over her like an oily umbrella, catching the air as she fell.
standing to her feet and taking a couple of strides forward "then I much ask for your forgiveness oh his behalf. it is in Poe's nature to be attracted to beautiful things"

Cal frowned up at her, disliking how darkly beautiful and unique the female was... She huffed and looked away, her tail twitchin annoyedly as it was wrapped around her legs.
"I don't know..." She purred, glancing back at the crow with glowing blue eyes. "What if he had hurt it? I'm sure you would be upset if your dear little black chicken was hurt..."

"Of course we would" she answer tonelessly, folding her wings tightly against her body, nervous about this other Numa’s reluctance to dismiss the incident.
“Do you still intent to carry out your, Caw, threat?” she asked with a quick tilt of her head,
”Craa, because no matter the crime, we cannot, craa, allow Poe to be harmed in such a way”
The strange numa tilter her head in the other direction, She wanted to go back to her tree, and get back to her work. But she had to remaining, and wait for this stranger’s response.

Calypso narrowed her eyed up at the bird like numa, frowning deeply. That very pointy beak on her mask did not look appealing at all... She glanced away, pondering her situation. Sure, she wanted revenge on the stupid black chicken... but her appearance meant more to her. It just wouldnt suit her to have scars covering her whole body... With a huff she flicked her tail and closed her eyes, her chin lifting in defiance.
"FINE. Just this one time... I'll forgive the stupid bird. But if he comes near my fish again, I'll tear his feather covered throat out." She spat, then turned to the fish that had started to swim around her faster, afraid of the fight that had been threatened to happen. "Dont worry dears.." She cooed to them and petted them, then sent them to swim behind her wings to hide. She glanced back up at Crime then turned to walk away. "You should teach your pets some manners."
