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.]

You can take a bath in a campfire?

[He's laughing.]

Get it yerself, y' lazy ass!

[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?]

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

[FLIPS HIM THE BIRD.]

[Obviously.]

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

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

Campfires are warm. :|

[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.

[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?

[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...

[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'.

[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.

[fierybluebird]

I am a phoenix.

Please don't eat me, we only just met. ;)

[DIG DEEP!]

[Have some annoyingly difficult to transform vocal chords and beak JUST to stay fluffy!]

Fuck you.

In before "I don't fuck birds." I wasn't offering.

Just be glad you're still too big for me to fly with. This is why I need to store up for winter.

[HE THINKS ABOUT THIS FOR A LONG LONG TIME.]

No, blankets are boring.

I want fire.

[He might be having a sulk.]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

I'll take it.

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

[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.

Re: [Video]

[song_princess]

I can try to remember to bring you a blanket.

Re: [Video]

[fierybluebird]

[Ahhhh all right, worth making his vocal chords work.] I can be wherever you want me to be even faster~!

[fierybluebird]

No blankets. Only hugs from cute people and birdseed.

But I will share.

[singinghuntress]

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