Algy set out early the next day, hoping to make some kind of discovery which would show him the way to a land of light and warmth in the midst of the winter darkness.

With his hopes held as high as his head, he flew and flew and flew through the dense Scotch mist, but still he could see nothing out of the ordinary, and as the day grew ever dimmer, Algy became more and more tired…

By the late afternoon he was quite exhausted, so he fluttered down slowly to the ground and landed on a patch of long grass, which though inevitably wet was at least nice and soft, and reasonably comfortable, providing one was accustomed to the soggy sensation of damp tail feathers…

But no sooner had Algy settled down to rest than a fly started buzzing round his head and crawling across his face. Round and round it went, then returned to bother him some more. It just would not stop, despite Algy's attempts to politely discourage it.

After a while, Algy realised that the fly was attempting to communicate with him, so he listened as carefully as he could, and tried to understand what all the buzzing might mean. With some effort he managed to work out that it was apparently quoting a short and rather mysterious rhyme by one of his favourite poets…

Although surprised, Algy was glad to discover that the insect kingdom was properly educated, but unfortunately it left him none the wiser with regard to his journey, and eventually he decided that the fly must simply be intent on annoying him…

Some things that fly there be— Birds—Hours—the Bumblebee— Of these no Elegy. Some things that stay there be— Grief—Hills—Eternity— Nor this behooveth me. There are that resting, rise. Can I expound the skies? How still the Riddle lies!

[The fly is quoting the poem Some things that fly there be by the 19th century American poet Emily Dickinson.]

I can't shut up about this anymore. Knowing that they're only invincible if he's holding them and getting so. so close to saving at least ONE but being too late and having sand sifting through his fingers anyway... this is so messed up I hope the Octa novel is soon. I wouldn't even throw a tantrum like he did I'd kms in front of them in hopes to change the trajectory of their lives forever as revenge

This almost makes me like Leona being b2 because I don't know how this much devastation could be translated to Riddle destroying them.

Maybe if losing the contracts isn't the MAIN focus as much as WHO is. Azul freaking out and going off the rails accusing Riddle of being SCARED that Azul was catching up to him. That had to be why he did it. That's why he had to make a spectacle of it, too, wasn't it? Riddle knows spectacles best, didn't he? With the unbirthday parties, and the way he commands a room, and most importantly... that overblot of his.

Azul grabbing Riddle and him (Riddle) dropping and being the first victim to lose his magic in an attempt to make him feel the same?? Maybe... we already have Azul saying Off With Your Head, so...

More Winged NRC Students

Imagine if having wings also gave them bird instincts, like chirping and making a nest. No one bats an eye because they all have wings, though Grim gets confused at first and Vil doesn't like Epel chirping so frequently.

So all of the kids like to perch up in high places and the aquatic birds have a fondness for water. Some of them, like Ace because he'd find it funny, also perch on people because he finds it funny to see their reactions to having him suddenly land on them.

Additionally, they all have hollow bones to make them lighter so that flying is easier for them. So Ruggie and Leona have to be extra careful during their sabotage plot to make sure that they don't injure anyone too badly because having hollow bones makes them more fragile.

Moving away from that, I can see people wanting to claim others as flock and stealing some of their clothes for their nests, which is kind of frustrating because you have to negotiate for the clothes back but don't want to make the other think that you don't want to be part of their flock.

The first-years wear each other's feathers (Ortho had to make synthetic feathers to complete the collection because he doesn't have actual physical wings) on a necklace with a little hole in the feathers' stalk (what's that long stick through the center of a feather called?) as a symbol of being a flock and play with the feathers as a nervous tick.

Another thing that they have to do is preen their wings whenever they get dirty or have to remove some of the dead feathers. They only let people that they trust preen their wings and keep the best feathers for when they add people to their flock. The first-years sometimes form a 'preening line' with Ortho at the beginning since he doesn't have actual wings, where they preen each others' wings and get their wings preened at the same time.

Most birds have a gland at the base of their tails to form oil to coat their wings for waterproofing and protection, and since they don't have tails, they have to make to with handmade oil. There are factories and people who specifically make wing oil to market and Epel's family also makes sunflower oil or something like that for wings. The excess gets sent to him via mail much like the apple juice does and he shares it among the fellow first-years and occasionally his dormmates because better than the wing oil for commercial sale.

Sometimes a group of people stack on top of each other by flying up and landing on each others' shoulders. This happens most often with the first-year group though the Pop Music Club + Rook do the same sometimes. Floyd tries to form a stack, but Azul doesn't let him unless there's someone around who can join him and Jade.

Speaking of Floyd, he likes to kidnap people (most of the time, said person is Riddle) to go flying with them. By flying, he means holding them in bridal carry and just taking off because he's strong enough to do that with people who are shorter than him, which is most people. He always gets scolded for it, but keeps doing it to the point where getting kidnapped by Floyd happens to someone every other day.

- Idk how I didn't know this, but I now realize the reason Etho made Frogger in Minecraft was... to advertise his government-assigned froglight shop

- ?? He put "abork" in as his final Dye-Duction guess? Okay, king

H:SR Kaeya has to find little joys in an otherwise melancholic life, and his main method to do that is singing.

Kaeya sings often: he sings quietly to soothe himself in situations of extreme stress, almost unconsciously. He sings while cooking breakfast, lunch or dinner, he sings while doing the dishes, he sings little trying tunes while working. He sings while doing long walks. He sings when he's sad, and sings to other people, too. He'd be happy to sing if asked, a little flustered if anything- he has that nice voice of his.

Mostly, he hums- it's rare that he uses words, but when he does, some songs are recognizable in English- some are in other languages scattered across galaxies, and some other are tuneless melodies of civilizations and planets long gone that only he remembers amd keeps alive with his voice and memory. Nothing, not even melodies, die with him.
