birds tho

Okay, does anybody else feel like the Trumps have running jokes for them? Like, themes that keep popping up on jaunts that have nothing to do with you but you keep running into it somehow?

Mine is birds. The peacock tail in Doki, then there was the Owl Prince guy, then TOTO got turned into a mynah bird in Bando, then there was Rome and Ambrosius'.... everything. And in Newport I literally became a bird man hybrid thing, I won't be surprised if next jaunt I'm a member of an ancient and noble clan of ostrich riders.

[ ...challenge accepted. ]

I mean I like birds but back home I wasn't a ornithologist or anything, there's no cultural significance, I just keep getting avian associations for no good rea-- it's my nose isn't it.

I know what you mean. I know exactly what you mean.

Mine is bugs.

...granted, I know why, but still.

[ Jay giggles. It's, appropriately enough for the topic at hand, harpy-like. ]

I'd take it as a compliment, darling. Birds are such lovely creatures—

But, ah, they're also ... well, in many cultures, they're psychopomps. Are you associated with death, by any chance?

[cawfullyironic]

I keep turning into pasty as fuck assholes with the same name so probably.

[set_your_watches_for_fun]

There seems to be a bit of a theme of turning me rather useless, but I'm not sure that's the same thing.

Does my world's history getting reenacted everywhere except space count?

[solvethepuzzle]

No, I would say in general that nothing recurring has seemed like an inexplicable joke at my expense. If they've attempted to engage in any humour with me, it's been single occurrences. [He would notice if there has been some weird pattern.]

[fridgeninja]

What if it's not them, but the universe itself?

[thornsofmalkav]

For, like, three Jaunt in a row I was a wife and mother. Which actually weirds me the hell out because I am a) not ready for kids and b) no longer able to have kids if I wanted them.

Hell, even my Nova Venezia infiltration had to raise her little brother.

I don't get it.

[professorwolf]

I believe every single infiltration's name I've had so far either meant wolf or was related to canines in some way. Even the angel one. Plus if there's ever a shapeshifting option, it's still wolves.

I mean, I am the resident original werewolf, but it's getting a bit silly.
