And now, the traditional first-of-Jaunt screaming

[failgoyle]

SO I'M A STONE GARGOYLE AND I'M OUT IN THE SUN AND THE WIND IS CARRYING ME AWAY AND THIS IS BAD REALLY BAD I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING OUT HERE AND MY HOUSE IS GONE AND THIS IS THE WORST!

[Someone might have noticed all this fuss.]

Comments

[hazardlight]

Your... house.

[Yeah, that's what she got out of that.]

[failgoyle]

I HAD A BAG OF NAILS AND I'M NOT SURE HOW IT HAPPENED BUT TRADING WAS DONE AND THAT DOESN'T MATTER NOW THE HOUSE FELL OVER AND NOW I'M GONNA TURN TO STONE IN MIDAIR IF I DON'T FIND A SHADOWY SPOT AND WHY AM I STILL IN THE AIR, I JUST WANT TO LAND!

[hazardlight]

Ok like I don't know beans about flying but I'm gonna go ahead and guess that panicking is not conductive to a safe landing. Breathe, dude.

[failgoyle]

...oh, I'm not worried about the landing. I am excellent at falling.

BUT IT'S THE PRINCIPLE OF THE THING!

AND WHAT IF I LAND ON SOMEONE?

[all_onis_are_true]

...This is certainly something I would have liked to have known upon our first meeting. Perhaps I should see if Ancient Greece understood the concept of an umbrella?

[failgoyle]

I only do the stone thing when I'm in the stone gargoyle form! Normally, it's not a problem, but, um. I THINK I'M TOO HIGH UP FOR UMBRELLAS!

[all_onis_are_true]

[This is surreal. And also a little unnerving. Although if he's working with a monster, at least it's not blue and carnivorous.]

All right, just... Where are you heading, precisely? Should I just stay with Maria for now or would you prefer me coming to help track you down?

[failgoyle]

Just stay there! I can get back!

[meanballerina]

Stop.

Screaming.

Where are you? What direction are you headed? Give me some landmarks.

[failgoyle]

I am

IN.

THE.

AIR.

Going up!

[Included is a bit of sensory livestreaming confirming this. There are glimpses of the city down below, but it's hard to make anything out.]

JUST LOOK FOR THE WRECKED HOUSE!

[meanballerina]

This a city. There are a lot of houses.

[But Natasha starts heading for residential districts, ears straining to pick up any gossip or comments that might lead her toward "the wrecked house."]

[failgoyle]

Well, there's only one that got knocked over by a LOCALIZED TORNADO!

[haremtrap]

...Oh hey I actually can see someone floating around up there. Is that you?

[failgoyle]

PROBABLY!

...I dunno if floating is the right word for it!

[haremtrap]

Well...I'm afraid I can't really do anything to help you, sorry.

But good luck getting down safely!

[failgoyle]

Oh, thanks, thanks.

Once he stops blowing, I oughta be alright...

[laceandcarnage]

You will stop screaming.

[failgoyle]

BUT THERE IS A LOT TO SCREAM ABOUT RIGHT NOW!

[laceandcarnage]

You will have much less to scream about when I rip your voice box from your throat.

[vorenado]

-=the familiar voice sounds oddly singsongy for a moment=-

I have wind... oh but my overlay does not.

-=then a pause=-

I do not know if I can effectively offer you aide like this. Is the wind magical in nature? Lifting stone is no easy task.

[failgoyle]

Well, I mean, magic stone with wings that files anyway and I was just trying to get away!

But I'm hearing laughing, pretty sure it's a jerk elemental.

[vorenado]

Do you have some form of electricity? For asura, those bound to wind tend to do poorly when faced with lightning.

[givetheslip]

You'll make it down eventually. You have to.

I assume.

[failgoyle]

I mean, I'm not really worried about the fall compared to worrying about a HOUSE FALLING ON ME, so there's that...

[givetheslip]

I thought you said that it was gone.
