[Jaunt] A Slight Feathery Diversion

[naturaltwohands]

I understand the gravity of the situation these colonists are in... but what sort of animals are everyone’s companions?

Guenhwyvar is a giant black chicken.

[This is important to share, considering she’s normally a 600 pound black panther.]

Selene is a bunny and she's also chilling back in Liminal Space at the moment so no one tries to eat her.

[naturaltwohands]

Guenhwyvar would have preferred that, methinks. And I do not fear Guenhwyvar being eaten. She seems quite formidable.

[thornsofmalkav]

I mean, birds used to be dinosaurs. Of course they would be able to get scary.

[naturaltwohands]

That explains much about their nature.

... she’s so angry. I can barely hold myself together!

[thornsofmalkav]

Oh man. Tell her to hang in there and peck anyone who looks like they're from Erebus.

[verdeleonessa]

Roy's still himself in Liminal, being a lion like he oughta be. I can't even take him out for a walk since he's green, but he doesn't seem to mind.

[naturaltwohands]

That’s only if we want them dead or grievously wounded. Which perhaps we might, all considering.

[naturaltwohands]

... that would certainly make it hard to blend in. Guenhwyvar would have been okay with remaining herself as well.

[verdeleonessa]

If she'd stayed herself, at least Roy would have been good company, being another big cat. Well, a cub of a big cat, but still.

Want to have them meet up when the Jaunt's over? I think it would be interesting.

[naturaltwohands]

She can still be good company, even as a chicken—once she is over being angry.

A play date? We could certainly arrange one. She likes to be around other large cats.

[verdeleonessa]

Yeah, that's true. I mean, Roy wouldn't even think she's dinner, because he doesn't eat meat. Perks of being a plant and robot mix.

That would be great. Having him around other larger cats will help him, too.

Oh, I'm Pidge by the way.

[helborn]

[There's a slightly grumpy voice.]

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm a goose. Casper is infiltrating, you guys call it?

[triggerhappytraitor]

Garren's in human form, and deeply confused by it. The height difference and lack of armor especially.

[dino_zarf]

So's my dragon

[naturaltwohands]

I'm hardly surprised by how different beings are in this place anymore; Guenhwyvar will like him all the same, I suspect. She's not a normal cat herself, being from the Astral plane!

I am Drizzt. Normally I am a dark elf, but I am usually human on jaunts.

[naturaltwohands]

... ... ... Bob?

[naturaltwohands]

Confused is better than distressed, I suppose. Do you need any help with him? I have trained people in how to better move their bodies before for fighting, but the principles should be similar enough for general movement.

[naturaltwohands]

[A little laugh.]

Oh, no. Your poor dragon. Is your dragon's feathers at least soft?

[triggerhappytraitor]

I think he has enough memory from when he was infiltrated before that he has the hang of it. Especially since the form isn't so different than his normal one. He just keeps forgetting that longer legs mean he goes a lot faster when he runs off, and keeps being surprised whenever something touches him because he's so used to his armor.

[helborn]

Oh, you missed me earlier. Yeah, it's me.

/makes crap up

[naturaltwohands]

[Something like a warm chuckle.]

Good, good. Is he a child by any chance?

[triggerhappytraitor]

Of course. [[because really, could you see Garren as an adult, at all? ... minus that one time when they were all in a band. But that was just odd all around.]]

Did you get to see him when he was Gavin or Gen? He's a bit between their ages, I think.

[naturaltwohands]

I did, it seems. At least geese can be dangerous sorts--and completely unsuspected for being spies, if you are up to the challenge.

[naturaltwohands]

[Not at all, really.]

Yes--didn't you pretty much adopt me, once? I can imagine him something like that, only more human.

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[a short pause before--]] Right, the forest folk that Gavin made friends with, I'd almost forgotten.

He was human for most of that jaunt. Went back to it after the Amulet was fixed too.
