[Event Post]

[frozenperdition]

Eira can be found on the Island, presumably waiting for someone. She's in a chicken coop, yelling at them. The phrase 'fox in the henhouse' somehow comes to mind as you look at her and what she's... doing?

"You stupid feather brained morons! You'll never be dinosaurs again, you hear me?! I may have been no-clipped outta reality for years, but I am BACK and I am here to ENSURE that you will never be what you have the potential to be!"

She snaps her teeth at them, too sharp, and... yeah, those are fox ears and tails she's sporting too.

*well, you feel SOMEONE take a hold of one of those ears while you're distracted by yelling at chickens (who probably aren't even acknowledging you, they're chickens) and pulls at it*

Where in the world have you been?

*oh that's not a happy tone or a relieved tone*

[frozenperdition]

She lets out a small shriek as she pulled, trying to retract her ears and tail to no avail.

"WHAT

Wait. Bright!"

She attempts to wriggle the ear pulling into hugging you.

"I'd say you wouldn't believe it if I told you, but you will absolutely believe this. Long story short I was never meant to exist at all and something poking at my existence that made me all femme-looking made me start to destabilize and I spent a subjective literal eternity on the cusp of non-existence, but it was a few years for you guys. And then my now twin pulled me from that state and tied me to her own weird existence, so I think I'm super stable now.

... I missed you, even though I've gotta repeat all three years over."

[brightburnright]

*oh geeze. she did NOT expect you to hug her. ... ... pets your head instead.*

Well, it skips me saying "you missed so many classes that you might as well restart from square one", you know.

But yes, I believe you, entirely. Actually sounds totally right for some reason? *the quirks of being cursed.*

[frozenperdition]

She looks... slightly delighted at being chided a little?

"Yeah, I made my peace with that. At least it'll be super easy?

And, uh. Yeah, I knew you'd believe me. And, uh. Gonna sound a bit cheesy, but... um... I didn't forget the promise I made. It was one of the things that kept me from fading completely."

Oh god are they... blushing a little?

[brightburnright]

*well, you are still hugging me. maybe not unusual!*

I'm happy you didn't, since it feels like sometimes, people forget I'm here at all. Nothing's really changed during the whole time you've been missing, you know.

[frozenperdition]

"I know that. And I didn't want you to be forgotten and I couldn't be forgotten as the person who remembered you..."

She takes a deep breath and finally breaks the hug.

"But due to me getting wrecked and my new super weird paradox existence... I have a plan, if you'd hear me out on it and agree to it?"

[brightburnright]

*oh, good. she straightens out her uniform, adjusting her glasses*

You actually-- you have a plan? Really?

[theheadmonarch]

... Are you at war with the chickens, honey.

::Peaking into the chicken farm, squinting, dressed how she would look if she hadn't attached to trashy 80s stripper vibes.::

[frozenperdition]

"With all birds, auntie."

She takes a slightly more dignified position.

"I estimate that my disappearing act means we'll see dinosaurs back on earth within a year, and I alone could have delayed it by a decade. Maybe convinced others of the impending dangers, maybe prevented it entirely. Alas."

[theheadmonarch]

... There are Dinosaurs in the 12 Dimensions... Hrm...

::Ponders.::

[frozenperdition]

"Yeah... And they'll be here soon, won't they? I tried to warn everyone..."

She shakes her head.

"My one person war on dinosaurs and birds aside, what's up auntie? Last time you came to talk to me outside of family time it was for ominous foreshadowing of me being my parent's paradox kid, and uh. Yeah, good call. I think being armed with that knowledge actually saved my life/existence."

[theheadmonarch]

As long as the Worst Case Scenario doesn't emerge, we should be fine.

And oh.

I got married again last year. Mostly been stepping back and taking care of Kamala and Sumiho. Considering having a kid with my new wife...

::Pauses.::

Do you want any candy.

[frozenperdition]

"Yeah, I think we've got a good handle on all of this, auntie. At least I do." She grins. "Helen's agreed to sit out of actually doing anything for a few months, so hopefully that'll help."

A tilt of her head.

"Yeah, I'd love a chocolate bar, with almonds, if possible. I've got a day ahead of me. You know what I'm here to do, yeah?"

[dragun83]

Apocralyph trotting looks at the fox eared lady, “what chickens do to you?”

[frozenperdition]

She has one in her hands as Apocralyph is trotting up, mouth open over it's head. She sees someone approaching and gently sets it down.

"Huh? Absolutely nothing. They're stupid feathered idiots. HOWEVER, if you don't yell at enough birds every day, they're going to realize they were once a dominant form of life and turn back into dinosaurs.

And do you want dinosaurs back on earth, competing with dragons like you? I bet you don't!"

[dragun83]

“Why would that happen?” Apoc tilts head

[frozenperdition]

"Because if you let them believe in themselves, they'll go back to being all powerful. So you gotta yell at them whenever you find them.

We're maybe a year out on seeing their return unless I can convince other people of this... but you don't seem sold, so when we're knee-deep in velociraptors, I'll at least have my I-told-you-so's ready."

She hrmphs and crosses her arms, now actually looking at the dragon since her slightly manic bird themed episode is over.

"Haven't seen you around before. Seven hells, it's rare to see a spirit without a humanoid form and talking, honestly. Used to be all the rage I heard. I'm Eira."

[dragun83]

“George is taking some make up tests or sometbing, so Rag and I are just wandering the island. My name is Divine Dragon Apocralyph, Daughter of Queen and King Dragun Djinn.”

Apocralyph “thag right, mom always said to fully introduce myself.”

[frozenperdition]

"... George? Oh, are you like, a familiar type spirit? I should get one of those." She hums, giving the dragon another appraisal.

"Wait does that make you like, some sorta dragon prince?"

[becomeanwarrior]

[ Well, Eira, that heavy longcoat and mostly flat copper-brown hair approaching can only belong to one guy. ]

...Visiting this place always gives me the fuckin' willies...

[ He nods, as he spots you. ]

Eira. It... is Eira, right?

Re: [Event]

[frozenperdition]

She's holding a chicken up to her mouth, having it open a little too wide and showing off her big teeth. Both her and the chicken look at you as she gently sets it down. She's a dead-ringer for a young teenage Gwen, but she's got Kaz's eyes.

"I wasn't going to eat that chicken whole."

She was absolutely going to eat that chicken whole.

"Currently Eira works, uncle. We briefly met when I was Renat, so Renat works too. He was me and I am him, after all. Identity and names are fluid, only shaping the way we perceive and interact with what we call reality, and I'm sure your adventure with big sis was enlightening on that front as well."

It's gonna be one of those days, isn't it?

Re: [Event]

[becomeanwarrior]

Right, nonbinary-genderfluid, answer to Eira or Renat. Noted.

[ It's absolutely going to be one of those days. He exhales and runs a hand through his hair. ]

So, just as a warning - I have no idea what condition that little menace of a black cat is, down there. They've been down there for months. I should have pulled them out of there a while ago, but, well. As you might understand, this and that happened.

Re: [Event]

[frozenperdition]

"Ugh, if you want to be pedantic, sure, enby-genderfluid works. He/she/they are all acceptable pronouns too, I'm just defaulting to femme because of how I look.

Sorry. Interacting with this stuff kinda. Drives me into a mania sometimes. You've seen my mom and my aunties' mental state." She gestures around them.

"Yeah, it's been exceedingly busy for you. But! Never fear. Your second favorite niece is here. I think between my eyes and your physical prowess, auntie's maze is doable. She also told us to seek the bunny hat. As to her state, uh, well. If it's too bad off, I can fix it."

Re: [Event]

[becomeanwarrior]

I absolutely have seen their mental state. Why do you think I'm as tired as I am, all the time.

But, yes, between the two of us, I think we can get through the excessive layers of traps 'cuz put down there.

But... bunny hat...? I think the reference is lost on me. [ It's undoubtedly a reference, too, because 'riko is just as much of a nerd as he is. ] Super Mario Land 2...? That can't be right, that's way too niche for her...

[ Mutter, murmur, mutter. ]

Re: [Event]

[frozenperdition]

"... That makes sense. I wish I could say I'm sorry about me and how I'll be when she finishes training me, but I'm mostly excited. For that and the facing certain death down here."

She squints a little.

"Is... Oh! Yeah, I think I played that one when I was Renat. Shiverburn Galaxy was probably my favorite stage? I dunno though, my first console was a PS3, so I have a real soft spot for it."
