∞ 89: Oddities abound [voice/action]

[voice]

Has anyone attempted to contact the Organization about this situation?

[He has a feeling he knows the answer, but it doesn't hurt to ask.]


[action]

[Albert is experiencing déjà vu. The sudden influx of wingless arrivals, the calendar date... Was this what happened the two previous years, when there was that uncomfortable blank in all of their memories? For what reason were their memories tampered with when this happened?

He contemplates all of this from the house's porch, watching the heavy snowfall with a hot drink.]

[What did that red haired weirdo say about an organization?]

The Organization, eh?

Do you mean the Mafia?

[chikaidestroyer]

[One of those new arrivals?]

No, I'm afraid not. I'm referring to the Malnosso Organization.

[thecountsfault.livejournal.com]

And they're the ones calling the shots here? [He's pretty damn sure this is one of D's trippy dreams, but hell, might as well humor these guys.]

[chikaidestroyer]

Correct. This entire village is a research experiment of theirs. We have limited contact with them.

[thecountsfault.livejournal.com]

[If he was drinking he'd have choked.] A-A research experiment?!

Damn, D really outdid himself. Probably thinks it's some sorta human zoo.

[Watching the snowfall out on the porch, you say? How nice. Your alternate little brother feels a compelling need to join you. He walks right out of the house with his own warm drink and some delicious cookies to eat. Yes, watching the snowfall with his big brother would be so nice.

Why was he in your house, anyway? You probably don't want to know.]

You aren't cold, are you?

[chikaidestroyer]

[Considering this is a somewhat normal thing around here by now, Albert doesn't look over to note this Caesar doesn't have wings. He waves a hand dismissively.]

I don't get cold easily.

[preparedtofall.livejournal.com]

Good. [He was just making sure. You know, brotherly concern and all.] Are you watching the snowfall? Or all of these unusual "New Feathers"?

[chikaidestroyer]

[He sips at his drink, frowning at the questions.]

Neither. It isn't as if we have a good vantage point from which to watch all of them.

[preparedtofall.livejournal.com]

Oh. [Lame.] Well, whenever you get tired of doing whatever it is you're doing, dinner's ready.

[Just for you, actually. Not even for himself.]

[cantfunkthat.livejournal.com]

[Funky swings down from the roof and lands in front of Albert.]

Most excellent timing, dude. It's been a long time!

[chikaidestroyer]

[...

Albert just manages not to drop his drink as the big gorilla thumps on the porch.]

Who--?

[dies-in-a-hit.livejournal.com]

[Hey there Albert, might want to watch out there because there's a little baby FurFur bouncing by your feet.]

[chikaidestroyer]

[...

...

Albert stares at the little thing, and there's that odd sense of deja vu again.]

A furfur? Here?

[notcardboard.livejournal.com]

[Riley has his collar turned up against the cold.]

Excuse me...excuse me, sir?

[chikaidestroyer]

[He blinks at this newcomer, again noting the lack of wings.]

Yes?

[notcardboard.livejournal.com]

Could you tell me where I am?

[summerscare.livejournal.com]

[Guess what, Albert? There's a girl poking through the wall nearby, watching you. That is, only half of her is.]

What organization do you mean?

[chikaidestroyer]

[He turns to look towards the source of the voice.

...Only to stare wordlessly at the girl stuck in the wall. Even with all the experiments he's seen, that is definitely different.]

[summerscare.livejournal.com]

[No answer, eh? She'll come out of the wall completely and float over, then!]

Staring is rude, you know!

[neversaynoever.livejournal.com]

[There's a panda standing in front of you.]

[chikaidestroyer]

[...

And Albert stares right back. What in the world?

...It probably helps to note he's never seen a panda before.]

[neversaynoever.livejournal.com]

[This panda offers some cheese. Panda brand.]

[chikaidestroyer]

[He looks at the panda, then at the package it's holding out. He reads the labeling, noting the little icon on it.]

...Panda?

[You are watching snow, and a knifebird is watching you.]
