The most fearsome of creatures

[fierybluebird]

[It's a close up of a blue phoenix on fire.]

[And then a text message:]

It's cold and I want to bathe in a campfire.

Someone bring me birdseed to make me fat.

[One might wonder how a phoenix could get cold. One might.]

[He is on the beach of the island, sort of tilting his head at Marco.]

You can take a bath in a campfire?

[Phoenix nod, since talking while in phoenix form is effort.]

[He's pretty good at non-verbal communication.]

Huh, well! I can make one of those on the beach if ya want but, I don't have any birdseed.

[FLIPS HIM THE BIRD.]

[Obviously.]

[Be impressed with his awakened zoan skills, that he can even do this as a bird.]

[Sure, sure. You're a marvel and a wonder, bro. Namur digs his pinky finger into his ear searching for his brain :v.]

Don't speak feathershit. Got somethin' y' wanna say, get squawkin'.

[phoenixstrut]

[Is that....]

Birdseed? [A raised brow.] A campfire I can make, but I'm not even sure where a pet store is...

...Why bathe in a campfire?

[.....why get fat off birdseed?]

text + video

[fierybluebird]

Not pet store birdseed, it's not as good. Squash, sunflower seeds, sesame, etc. are better.

Campfires are warm. :|

[phoenixstrut]

Ah, so you're more of a Whole Foods bird, [she sighs, flatly, but amused!]What... exactly are you, though? Campfires are warm, but unless you're a phoenix, I can't see how setting fire to your feathers could be pleasant..

...unless you're planning to fatten yourself up to be roasted first, in which case I think an intervention might be more useful...

[Hikari had encountered some unique persons in her 14 years of life. Even pre-genessia. Perhaps for that reason alone, she was less bewildered by the thought of bathing in campfire--even if it was meant to be taken literally--and more curious as to what kind of creature this blue face was.]

Are you a pokemon?

[She ruled out Digimon straight away, not recognizing the type and believing the text meant an inability to speak human languages.]

[fierybluebird]

[No. Yes. Maybe.]

Not exactly. It's something from my world.

[intothelens]

[It was close enough for her to start with a better frame of reference.]

I see.

Do you need an actual fire, or would a heated blanket be enough to warm you up?

[Despite her fear of fires...Rip's snickering slightly at the text message.]

Sorry Marco, I'm not getting anyvhere near a campfire, even vith you right zhere. But zhe birdseed might be zomething I can do.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

I'll take it.

[This is whistled in bird speak but yanno. The message is clear. Ish.]

Re: [Video]

[singinghuntress]

[Sorry Marco, she can't speak bird. But, she gets the idea.]

Zhen it looks like I'm getting birdseed for you~.

[song_princess]

I can try to remember to bring you a blanket.

[Text]

[fierybluebird]

No blankets. Only hugs from cute people and birdseed.

But I will share.

Re: [Text]

[song_princess]

I cannot get off of work right now but I will try to remember what you prefer over the blanket when I get home.

[Prompto might or might not have squealed at seeing a phoenix, but one will never know because he sends a text right back.]

You must be hungry. How do I get birdseed to you?

Text

[fierybluebird]

[Yes, good. VICTIMS TO HIS TRAP!]

I can be wherever is more convenient for you. I fly~

Text

[chocobosnap]

Sure, that's cool.

[Marco might be surprised, that is not actually a prerequisite for being an adorable bird.]

I'll get you the big bag at the store. Can you carry it all? If you can't, I can bring it to you.

Don't fat birds get eaten?

text

[fierybluebird]

I am a phoenix. That would be difficult to do.

[But not impossible.]

Challenge accepted

I would say. I can't eat birds.

Still. Careful what you wish for.
