Eidolon: Conspiracy Theory

The Crow's head jerked in Ashley's direction as the girl placed a glass of water in front of him. He looked for a moment, studying her face. Of his new teammates, she was the only one he had no prior memory of. She probably didn't frequent Mario's that often.

He hadn't appreciated her comment of wanting to call him 'Crow' as if he were some commoner, but he'd also noticed her discomfort when Luka had taken note of her surname. Interesting that someone so particular about their own name would be so careless with another's. Perhaps she just didn't understand, and he'd correct her later.

You know, when they weren't in immediate danger and when the room was no longer in slow motion.

"Ohthankyou," he said, before sticking his head in the glass of water. Ah yes, this was a much better drink, and it helped cool his still-burning beak. After taking a few refreshing gulps, he raised his head from the glass and shook himself, sending a cascade of droplets all over the table. He surveyed his surroundings for a moment. Things hadn't quite returned to their normal speed, but they were no longer slow as they were before. Plus, the room didn't feel like it was buzzing.

Yes, much more tolerable. He gave an approving nod to Ashley.

"We need to work on your name later, I'll go call you Crow for now." Ashley decided as she conversed with the group, it appears that K-Pop guy and the crow have a history, something she should inquire for later.

* The Crow didn't like that.

"That's coffee, think of it as a surge of energy in liquid form. It seems it is more effective on you since you typically don't drink one."

She took a glass of water and placed it near the Crow.

"Drink up, I hope this could help you."

@Digmata

* The Crow liked that.

Basically the Crow's opinion of Ashley is still fairly neutral at this point.

The rest of the party: Why did you give a bird coffee?
Santana: I thought it would help.
The rest of the party: WHAT DO YOU MEAN!?

Eidolon: Conspiracy Theory

Just as everyone was introducing themselves, Santana seemed to think that pleasantries had gone on long enough. After a brief shock of pain, the Crow blinked to find himself once again in a completely different place. This time, however, the place was somewhat familiar to him.

"Huh," he said, a little surprised. "Never been on this side of the windows before." He looked around him for a moment before noticing the coffee on the table. "Ooh, what's this?" He flutter up onto the table and put his beak into the liquid... only to immediately withdraw at the both the mixture of intense heat and bitterness it gave him. "BLERRRGH!" he said, shaking his head. "You humans drink this stuff? Preposterous!"

He shook himself again before looking at his newfound teammates... and suddenly felt quite odd. He'd barely taken a sip of the dark liquid but it seemed it was already having an effect on his small form. He heard and understood Luka's words, but for him they seemed to be in slow motion. In fact, everything seemed to be slow motion for him. He himself however...

"Waitwhat?" he said, his words coming out quickly without him pausing for breath. "Whyareyoualltalkinglikethat? Whatshappening?" His left eye starts twitching as the caffeine starts to take effect.

Nobody in the diner will be at all surprised to see a crow sitting at a booth drinking a cup of coffee?

New York, amirite?

Also, kinda want to draw those tarot cards you described 'cause they sound really awesome.

Eidolon: Conspiracy Theory

Sorry if it feels like I'm pushing things too quickly--I like the direction things were going but I also wanted to get past that first bit with Santana, and I wasn't sure when we were going to have another off-ramp from that scene.

@ctrlsaltdel

No, that's completely fair. I was worried that me having the Crow make constant jabs at Luka was getting disruptive.

Eidolon: Conspiracy Theory

The Crow: *makes an jab at Luka*
Luka: I'm sorry, I can't quite hear you over the sound of MORE IMPORTANT PEOPLE in the room.
