First Flight (Open)

[biiirrrdsss]

Characters: Pipit and you!!
Setting: Around the tower basically anywhere you like
Format: I prefer action, but I'll follow!
Summary: Pipit wakes up and... does... everything people do when they wake up.
Warnings: BIRDS None, but I'll change it if I need a reason.

[room 2-06]

[Pipit's not really used to waking up with sleep paralysis or in a home he can legitimately breathe in, so needless to say, he does freak out a little bit when he wakes up - and once the paralysis wears off, he sits up quickly, to get a look at his surroundings.

This... sure isn't his house. It's way too clean.

Yeah, he notices all of his roomies that may or may not be in there, sure - and he'll be happy with greeting them, they all look so young! - but first what the hell is this jumpsuit he's in. Don't mind if he just gets into his tunic because seriously, he's not Ghirahim.

But once he's got everything settled - shield and sword on his back like they should be - he offers up a smile and a wave to those joining him. c:]

Mornin'!

[Yeah; he can ask about this place once introductions are over.]

[Any floor anywhere!!]

[Pipit's going to be wandering the tower for sure, checking every nook and cranny he can get to and trying to get his bearings. And also probably fighting off monster birds on the forest floor because holy hell these things have teeth what kind of birds have teeth. Feel free to run into this Link lookalike in the golden yellow tunic! Or trip him! Or whatever, he really doesn't mind anything!]

Comments

ON SOME FLOOR IDC WHICH YOU PICK CAN'T BE MEADOW

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[He was looking for someone, someone he had hurt very badly without meaning to. He needed to make amends and fix what had been broken, and that is why he was so concentrated while looking.

So concentrated that, while he was looking to the left at some rooms with their doors open, he runs right into Pipit and falls over backwards, sitting up and a hand going to his swollen black eye. Yep, sure did just get hit in the eye with the hilt of Pipit's sword. Ow.]

IDK DORM FLOOR THEN

[biiirrrdsss]

Whoah - hey!

[He's not really used to being run into from behind, so don't mind if he just whips around and --]

Link!

[Pipit bends down a bit and holds his hand out for the hero, giving him a sunny smile.]

I haven't seen you in a while; is this where you ran off to? I thought you were just down on the surface!

YES GOOD

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[He looks up and stares at Pipit for a long moment before speaking quietly.]


....when did you get here?

[biiirrrdsss]

... Just now, I think! I woke up here not too long ago.

[Okay fine he'll just help you up whether you like it or not.]

Be more careful, though; it's not like a vigilant knight like yourself to run into others so carelessly!

... Hey; what happened to your face, Link? Get in a tangle with a monster?

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[Oh ok he'll just let you help him up.




But he's not going to tell you what happened. In fact, he's just going to stare off to the side and stay quiet.]

room 2-06 obvs, other roomies are free to also threadjack this btw

[nobirdie]

[ There's a young boy with somewhat messy green hair still asleep in his bed when Pipit's done getting dressed.

It's only until he hears the noise that he stirs, goes to move...

and promptly falls out of bed with a quiet yelp. ]

omg nageki you are a cutie pie

[biiirrrdsss]

[Whoah - don't get hurt, little guy. 8( Pipit heads over to check if he's okay, giving him a bit of a worried look, but smiles when he sees no bumps or blood or the like.]

You're not much of a morning person, huh?

I KNOW HE IS ksdjghfd

[nobirdie]

[ He stares up at Pipit as though he's got three heads.

Opens his mouth.

Closes it.

And then promptly continues staring. Sorry, he's... a little. Confused. Right now. And foggy. ]

[biiirrrdsss]

[He holds his hand out for the kid in front of him to help him up, continuing to give him a bright, warm smile.]

You're a little out of it.
Don't worry; sleep wears off fast with a little activity!

[nobirdie]

[ ... Nageki realizes this isn't a dream, and he clumsily scoots as far away from Pipit as he can get.

On the opposite end of the room, on the floor still, shaking his head. His voice is slightly panicked, actually, and even though it's not very forceful, it's still pretty loud yelling coming from the younger, rather frail and small boy. ]

N-no, no, I'm... you can see... how can you... where are... wings... I--don't come near me!!

[ Being human is the least of his worries, but he's not used to this body enough to get up and run, so he simply tries to get away from Pipit. ]

Meadow floor CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP

[sageprincess]

[Just below the dormitory floors, Pipit may or may not hear a song being played over and over, sadly and slowly.

(Where are you, Link...?)

Should he follow the music, he'll come across a young woman playing an odd blue instrument while wandering the meadow, almost like she's looking for something. Approach?]

[biiirrrdsss]

Ah --

[She... almost made him think of Zelda for a second. But she can't be - she looks far, far too regal for that ragamuffin daughter of the headmaster!]

Excuse me, friend; you look like you've lost something important!
Do you need any help?

[sageprincess]

Hm?

[The music stops, she draws the Ocarina away from her lips, and quietly stares for a moment. Odd, he has the same kind of clothes Link does, but all the wrong color.

Eventually she shakes her head.]

No. This is someone I should find on my own. Thank you for the offer, however.

[biiirrrdsss]

... I see! You've lost a someone, rather than a something..

Well; I hope I'm not interrupting or jeopardizing anything in asking, but would you mind telling me your name?

You look very familiar!

[... Wait, Pipit, don't be rude -]

And my name is Pipit, of course! I'm a knight from Skyloft!

[sageprincess]

Yes, that is correct.

[She offers a smile, but it's kind of really sad and tired.]

A pleasure to meet you, Sir Pipit. I am Zelda, Princess of Hyrule.

[No commentary to the 'familiar' bit. She's been through it enough times by now that she knows he must be talking about someone else.]

how about the cafeteria?

[childhero]

[When Link sees him, he blinks. That... outfit...? He doesn't seem to be a Link. He looks too different, even with the clothes. Though, that particular style reminds him of Sky's. Maybe.

His curiousity drives him to the stranger.]

Hello.

that works! /o/

[biiirrrdsss]

[Pipit's already eaten the gross oatmeal they serve here - it's neither good nor bad, but it's flavorless in his opinion - so he'd actually come back for a fruit.

Link's voice catches his attention, and he turns to the other with a warm smile.]

Hello, friend -

... Hmm! I've got to say, that's a stylish outfit you're wearing.

[He's joking, of course; because their outfits are so similar.]

[childhero]

[Link stares at him owlishly for a moment.]

Uh... Thanks... All the Kokiri wear it...

[Is that all he'll need to say? Will the stranger explain his own dress? ... he's being rude.]

I'm Link.

[biiirrrdsss]

... Ah; you share the name of a friend of mine! Hm.

[Maybe Zelda was right when she said that wasn't a coincidence...]

My name is Pipit! It's a pleasure, Link.

Where I come from, all knights wear a tunic like yours. The color depends on the year you graduate from their academy, however.

[childhero]

[He can't exactly ask, "which one?" when... Pipit doesn't seem to know how many of them there are yet... whelp. He'll just have to figure it out himself. Take a closer look at the outfit. If he pays enough attention, he finds similarities with Sky's clothing. So he must be a friend of Sky's.]

Knights? Academy?

[He hasn't heard anyone mention any of that in relation to the hero clothes.]

Floor Six because why the fuck not!

[hystericull]

[Maybe the sixth floor wasn't the best spot to wander in to. Gamzee's realizing this all too late, however, because the wiry troll has found himself deep in the forest without any clue which way was out. He'd managed to club a few animals down that decided to attack him, but he wasn't too keen on fighting everything he saw. He mostly hid - behind tall tree trunks, rocks, shrubs, etc. Right now, however, he was taking this whole "lost" business rather well, deciding to flip his clubs absentmindedly as he strolled his way deeper and deeper. His eyes were focused anywhere but ahead of him, and he was taking this whole scene in with a very delighted, somewhat disconnected, grin.]

perfect excuse!!

[biiirrrdsss]

[Whoah -- whoah little grey, horned buddy! That sure is a mutant deer coming for you!

But it's okay - even though his sword isn't in top shape, Pipit's going to help out anyway by bashing it with his shield and smacking it away with his blade. Get out of here, you mangy beast. B(]

Hey, friend - you might want to keep your eyes a little more open! You nearly got taken down by one of those monsters!

[He has no idea what a deer is, by the way.]

[hystericull]

[The sudden commotion causes him to jump back in surprise, catching his clubs from the air and gripping them rather tightly. He's a bit forgetful, but he isn't totally inept when it comes to combat. When he's paying attention, that is. He'll just stare down at the deer that's been taken out, then turn his head to acknowledge his rescuer.]

Whoa, thanks for all saving my motherfucking ass there, brightest of mystical banana-looking brothers.

[biiirrrdsss]

[... what the hell is a banana. BUT EITHER WAY - The knight gives Gamzee a smile and a nod at that.]

It's no problem - protecting people is my duty, after all!

[hystericull]

[Blink blink. He really does look like a banana. That hat looks like his little buddy's, too. Only bigger and more delicious. He stares at it for quite a while, not saying a damn thing, twirling his clubs between his fingers idly and probably making this hella awkward for Pipit.]
