[Open | Action] Birds!

[badly_behaved_priest]

[Choose a location] -- Attleton or Genessia City

Thanks to Amberdrake, Sanzo is a "reluctant" secondary caretaker of a flock of ten, rainbow colored birds. They're the size of finches and ramble in disjointed sentences. They know how to listen to others if commands are directed at them, but would one know that right off the bat? They love to imitate the speech of others and annoy interesting strangers. Sanzo might have as few as two and as many as ten while he's walking about, being bored.

One of the birds might just take an interest in some stanger and try to play with their hair...

((OOC Warning: Don't be aggressive towards the birds unless you're after a fight.))

"What kind of a question is that?" Saitama responded, trying to -- very carefully! -- shoo the bird away from his ear before it decided to go back to preening. Stubbornly, it just hopped onto his gloved hand, and then back onto his shoulder.

"Are these your birds? They're really... determined... ahh, stop that!" There went the preening again. "My earlobe is not a food!"

[badly_behaved_priest]

Saitama's struggles with the birds would have been amusing if Sanzo wasn't so determined not to show said amusement. He settled on showing as much disdain as he could be assed with. As the weirdly dressed man wasn't intending to hurt the birds, he didn't make an attempt to draw them back yet.

"They're annoying." Still not helping. "They like bright things, you're brighter than they are."

[hero_for_fun]

"I guess, with all the yellow and red..." Saitama finally scooped the nibbling bird up -- carefully -- in one gloved hand and held it in front of his face. "Why are you trying to eat my ear?"

"My earlobe is not a food!" the bird mimicked, not at all bothered by being held like this.

"That's what I said! Here," he held out his hand toward Sanzo, "take it back. It's defective."

[badly_behaved_priest]

Sanzo wasn't sure if this guy was really dense or fucking with him. He held out a hand for the bird, who clung to a finger once it was release. It set to picking at Sanzo's sleeve in between mimicking jumbled sections of Saitama's words. The other bird was left in place. Occasionally Sanzo had a sense of humor.

Two more birds joined them now they had finished hopping around nearby, content to stay with their owner, mostly because he glared at them when they made a go for Saitama.

"They're not defective, that's what they do. Messengers. Still pretty useless." Okay he couldn't stand it anymore. "What are you wearing?"

[hero_for_fun]

Saitama reached up for the one on top of his head next, but the bird easily evaded his careful reaching. Next, he opted to just sweep his hand across his head until the bird got annoyed at hopping over it. It fluttered off to land on Sanzo with its friends.

"This?" Saitama plucked at the front of his clothing, under the big zipper pull. "It's my hero outfit."

[badly_behaved_priest]

"Hero outfit." Sanzo sounded insultingly incredulous. He was in no place to judge the ridiculousness of another while covered in bright, adorable birds, but he was an ass like that.

"Is that a joke or...?"

[hero_for_fun]

Saitama blinked. "Joke? Why would I joke about that?"

[badly_behaved_priest]

"You look like an idiot." Sanzo currently had a bird hopping in circles on one shoulder.

[hero_for_fun]

"Okay," Saitama pointed at Sanzo's clothing, "but why are you in a dress?"

[badly_behaved_priest]

"It's traditional-" Sanzo glared at Saitama, so quickly switching from amused to furious. "They're robes, are you stupid?"

[hero_for_fun]

"I dunno," Saitama scratched his face, "would you know if I was?"

[badly_behaved_priest]

That was not a response an idiot would make. Sanzo had underestimated the weird guy in pajamas and cape and he had no other reaction to that other than to glare at Saitama.

[hero_for_fun]

Saitama lifted the finger he'd been scratching his face with. "Check-mate!"

And then he turned and strolled off, his cape flapping merrily behind him.
