"So I really can't join your Avengees huh?" Oliver asks with a pout. He shakes his head, "I don't wanna be some ghost that haunts the workers there. I wanna be at the frontline FIGHTING and HELPING too!"

It sounded so cool and it was something he was so familiar with. Damn, one: he can't even join the fighting in the underground that Dar'khol ran and two: he couldn't even join in helping fight or protect. Such a shame really.

"Are you sure this is alright, Hawks..? I don't wish to keep you if you're busy.."

Since learning about what they could and couldn't eat, Cherie's newfound friend had made it a point to take them down to one of Spirale's most popular places to dine. The Startrail was littered with different food stalls and vendors, wonderful smells wafting to the cupid's nose and warming their soul.

"I'm not quite sure where we should even start.. is there something you would like to try?"

"You... don't want the highlighters back?" Kay squints, looking the guy up and down. What's with this bird guy? Who even stays at the office this late?

Truthfully, when she saw something about vigilante-types, she was curious. They'd probably never hire a kid, but if she could get a peek at their files, maybe she'd learn places she could help some people out.

...the highlighters were a detour. Old habits die hard.

"Are you some kinda workaholic or something? It's night time. Shouldn't you be at home?"

@wingherc

Exposure therapy IS a thing, isn't it? And bit by bit she was exposing herself to small fire. When her home was blocked off, along with everyone else's, she thought she could handle anything, but this is a bit...

She feels it. The panic scratches at her like a million tiny insects. She feels she can't breath, her heart beats against her chest LOUD and strong. In her arms curls up the small monster. She shields it from the flames.

No matter WHERE she'd disappear and reappear to, everywhere is the same.

There's fire everywhere.

"...Sukuna..."

She calls like a helpless child, in hopes that he'd find her in this chaos.

[fatedefiance]

@wingherc liked for a starter!

Oh. That's a big bird!

...Nope, not a bird, that is a person with wings. Wings he doesn't recognize, at least. He's not sure whether that's a good or bad thing yet. He absolutely still looks startled as fuck as he looks up at the stranger flying over head.

"Those are some cool wings, dude."

[blue-justice]

@wingherc liked for a starter!

Another day, another round around the city trying to explore every nook and cranny! Which is really just another excuse to stretch his legs, running wherever his feet will take him. Nothing but a blue streak of light as zips from one place to another, only stopping whenever something catches his eye.

Like someone with really cool wings flying overhead!

"WOAH-- is that Archangel? No, wait... hey! You up there! You look cool!" It's unfortunate that he can't fly unless going Super. He can, however, run up the side of a tall building to be a little more at eye-level. Even if relatively briefly. "You look like somethin' out of a comic book. Do you like comic books? I've read a lot of 'em."

「✦」 "If it's about feathers, why don't you look at your own first? Dye isn't very expensive on this island."

Sitting behind his desk at Sanctus on a rare day of work (meeting by appointment only, all sessions still suspended), Aurelius crosses his arms and stares unimpressed at the Ziploc bag containing traces of golden hairs lying on the surface of his desk.

His, if the man was to be believed, plucked from the scene of a violent crime that had happened—when was it again?

"I believe I was unfortunately dead—multiple times, mind you—at the time of the incident."

"Would you rather speak to my murderer instead? I'm sure he could vouch for all the times he stabbed me."

His fingers dig into the arms of his suit jacket while he smiles; inside, the angel is clearly seething.

The point of a story like this is you can't let anyone know you're from another world, right? But maybe she was wrong about the genre of this story; maybe it's a crossover isekai, because isn't that one of the guys from one of the anime series she's seen? Which one is it? Heroic... something? Heroic Education? That's not it, but it's on the tip of her tongue-

They make eye contact, and Uzi gives a small jump before turning away. She hadn't even realized she was staring, there's just a lot to take in right now. Talking to any human, let alone this guy, seems like too much right now, so maybe she should retreat to the relative safety of- of literally anywhere else right now.

But the sun is high in the sky, higher than she's realized, and the instant she exits the shade, her body starts to sizzle. It probably wouldn't kill her, but it's uncomfortable as hell, and so she flinches back into the shade. So much for falling back, she thinks as she looks around for an exit. But as she's looking, she makes eye contact with that hero guy again, because now he's watching her.

"I could just chance it," she mutters to herself as she turns away again. "What's worse? Dying or having to live out this embarrassment?"

It must look rather unbecoming of him, scowling at the vibrant journal that seemed to have been enchanted to sing- which perhaps would be charming to anyone who wasn't Malchior, last of the great Fire Drakes of the northern mountains, chiefest and greatest of calamities- and maybe if he had a way to break the enchantment on it, he'd feel less annoyed. He'd considered throwing it into the ocean, but ... it had been given to him when he'd found himself in such a daze ... when he'd been brought through a city full of light to an apartment ... of course he knew what that was, and certainly hadn't asked the odd guide who had been so kind as to drive him there. Of course he knew what a car was- he didn't ask about that either! That would be rather foolish if he didn't know- but he certainly did, and he was most certainly not suffering in the way of a man who had been thrown so wildly far from his own era! By his account, everything was just fine, thank you very much!

He wasn't very convincing in that regard, and deep down he knew it. But if nothing else, he had always been rather skilled at pretending, and why would it be any different now?

It's different because he's defenseless and he knows he's being watched. Not because he sees anyone directly in front of him, but because he's a dragon, and dragons were always aware of their surroundings. In order to protect their treasures from thieves, or to detect the presence of those who would wish to take their heads back to kings and queens in exchange for glory- ❝ I know you're there. Are you simply content to continue watching, or will you show yourself? ❞

@wingherc we are fighting god?

          if pressed, danny wasn’t sure he could tell someone what he dreamed about on a nightly basis. his days were so filled with chaos, attending high school, fighting ghosts, juggling his social life with sam and tucker and keeping ahead of his parent’s ghost hunting, that he didn’t spend much of his time sleeping anyway. so what he actually dreamt of when he got the chance to? well, that hadn’t seemed to matter as much. at least not since he’d beaten nocturne and his sleepwalkers and driven them out of amity park. so it was a surprise even to danny when green unfurled around him, ectoplasm seeping into the atmosphere and swirling across his vision until danny found himself in a perfect replica of the ghost zone.

     well. he hadn’t expected that to happen. nor did he expect to be met with the fact that he’d accidentally dragged someone else into this dream ghost zone. but a turn of his head was all it took to reveal the winged man beside him, and danny couldn’t help the grimace that twisted his mouth at the realization.

     ❝ Heck. You’re not, like, a ghost or anything by chance, are you? Cause let me tell you, it would make it much easier on me if you were. ❞

"Hey, Ehll Tou, we can catch that guy, right?"

'The other dragons would make fun of me if I lost to a winged mortal!'

A flash of bright red dragon wings competes to catch up to bright red feathered ones as Lilli stands atop her dragon friend's back. Her balance is impeccable; aerial combat is what she was trained for, after all.

Lance in hand, she calls out to the other guy.

"First one back to the start takes it?" She yells over the roaring wind.

"Hey! If you can beat us, lunch is on me!"

[cerebralbleu]

Did he just get called out?

Legato's eyes widen almost comically mid-bite of his treat. People usually did not perceive what he was capable of. His reaction more than likely gave away the answer, but the less he revealed, the better. So instead, he continues to munch, giving up on tormenting the defenseless wage worker for the time being.

" Uh. "

When do you not eat?

How embarrassing, especially in front of someone he was supposed to be behaving in front of. Master did not take well to humans being disrespectful to Plants, independent or not. Now that he thought of it, Master Knives' name had vanished from the directory several days ago-- regardless, Legato knew that his absence did not mean he could simply disobey expectations.

" My physiobiological needs are quite high maintenance, I'm afraid, " Legato apologizes, moving on to fast food apple pie number two.

" You should have one too, your tasks are difficult-- " and he hands Hawks fast food apple pie number three.

｢𓆄｣ Dang, rough crowd. Momentarily, an air of awkward silence hung between the both of them. Well, until the employee fell again.

"Got a case of the dropsies today, bud?" Hawks called over to the employee as the red feather now dragged the poor soul up and acted as a thumbtack and pinned the employee to the wall. It hadn't occurred to Hawks that they were both ragdolling until it hit him that there wasn't anything for that guy to trip over.

"Wait, was that you?" Did Legato have something similar to Hawks in terms of abilities? Interesting...

"The better question to ask me is probably: when do you not eat, man?" Because Hawks was a pretty hungry guy. But, he didn't realize that Legato totally had him mistaken for an independent plant. While that meant nothing to Hawks, it was an easy mistake to make.

...

Probably!

[minteyed-messiah]

Almost instinctively, Rika steps aside to let the -- feather? -- past, like it was a whole ass person and not just a feather. Still! A neat trick. She'll remember that.

"It's a terrible display! But thankfully, I believe in second chances," Rika teases, mirroring the young man by tightening her own apron and putting her hands on her hips. "Lucky you, though! You just missed our first rush, so it's just prep work for now -- Hawks, is it?"

She hums at the name. So many different, varied names in the world, and her foster mother had tried to stick her with Serena.

"My name is Rika! All jokes aside, it's a pleasure to have you on board. Is this your first time volunteering?" It's a fair question, she thinks.

｢𓆄｣ "I'm laaate!" There was no time for pleasantries as he was rushing in and past Rika, a feather rushing past her to fetch him an apron in a frenzy.

"Sorry, sorry, this isn't exactly a good show of my character, being late for a volunteering opportunity! But, I'm the guy they stuck with you today!" His demeanor read too relaxed as he hopped right on over the counter, tying off the apron.

"Name's Hawks, who might I have the pleasure in serving the locale with today, chickadee?"

[ostentumm]

That's all that Oliver really needs to hear. That in some way, his world and Hawks weren't entirely different when it came to protecting the people from danger!

"I bet you're one of the strongest too," he says with a confident nod.

｢𓆄｣ "Oh, I misheard, my b." Well, that explanation earned a shrug, "Sure, if that's how you wanna look at it, then yeah! Just like that. 'Cept there's no name to it. Just hero work."

"Maybe? Prolly?? I'm not from your world, so I don't have a point of comparison." Finally hopping off his desk, Hawks patted out his jacket, "I can't imagine it being that far off."

[daxned]

Dam-bi does hesitate, but in the end, the child places her small hand on top the adult's and her fingers curl to hold onto tightly. All the while, the creature is held close enough. Only its eyes peers over to look at Hawks.

"I'm ready."

｢𓆄｣ Hawks offered his hand and tilted his head with a knowing smile, "I'd take that as permission enough, but I can't be too sure. Take my hand."

"And then we can get the hell outta here."

[amorinie]

Briefly, Cherie seemed almost taken aback by Hawks' action; the feeling of his arm around their shoulders unfamiliar, but.. comforting. They looked up at him, as the warmth of his body eased against theirs.. and they smiled so gently, that perhaps he wouldn't notice.

Yes, they had made physical contact with their friends here-- but Cherie hadn't been on the receiving end before.. and it was a wonderful reminder that they could be seen here, by everyone.

"Coff.. ee?" Eventually, their brow furrowed for a moment, as if deep in thought; a finger raising to tap at their chin-- but before long, the realization came to them. "Yes, I know that one..! I've seen many humans rush to buy it in the morning-- does it provide you with greater sustenance than other drinks..?"

"Mm, well.. I enjoyed the cake I had on my birthday.. but I have not eaten anything else since, so I'm not sure.." They look a glance at the stalls that they began to pass, perking up slightly when they noticed plates of white, pink and green snacks being put out for display. "Oh..! Those are very cute.. would they be good to try?"

｢𓆄｣ "Busy?" Well, it has been true he's been more active on the streets due to recent circumstances! But, he also welcomed breaks. They tended to be brief in nature, so it couldn't hurt. "Nah! Not busy, don't worry about it!"

"While I was in the area, I was thinking about grabbing an iced coffee!" He threw his arm around the cupid in a friendly manner, pulling them close, "Have you found anything you really like yet? Or are you still trying to figure that out?"
