ROLE: MAGPIE

tsurumaru

finder's keepers

On Tuesday, at 11 AM, Kiku catches Tsurumaru's attention. Both will innately know that they have somewhere to be, and Kiku will be able to lead the way—even if they've never been there before. Her form changes, as they're accustomed to, but takes that of a different magpie, a Common Green one, and will point out certain items to bring with them to their destination. Somewhere along the way, Yomiel appears to offer a terse greeting.

After finishing their business, Tsurumaru and Kiku will not be able to return to this location again without being invited back, regardless of whether they attempt to return on the same day or in the same week. Kiku will be able to take her new magpie form again on her own, but will revert to one of her original forms upon leaving. Tsurumaru and Kiku both will know that this form cannot be shared openly, and that caution should be practiced with sharing it privately, as well.

As the magpie, Tsurumaru will be presented with three items each week, and he may keep only one. Each item has the potential to have a positive effect on the competition and its participants, a negative effect, or may do something completely different. No information will be offered regarding each item until Tsurumaru has made his choice. Only then will the effects of the item chosen will be revealed. Choose wisely!

Additionally, Tsurumaru may use this time to speak directly with his assigned Watcher, Yomiel. He may ask questions, receive small hints, or simply chat with them, though any information received will be subject to Yomiel's own discretion.

★ Keep it secret.
★ Use your daemon’s magpie form sparingly.
★ Each week, you will be able to choose between three items to help or hinder the competition and its participants.
★ You may only select one item.
★ The results will not be revealed until the choice has been made.

They don't sound that interesting.

It is. When I'm finished, I have something beautiful to show.

...I guess I'll just have to take your word for it.

(And he just smiles back!!)

It's my turn now.

(To ask a question,)

What are you reading?

Oh.

[ they offer him the book? ]

Something about the music from this world. I wanted to know if it was always like this.

[ otamatone... ]

(A music book........ he looks over it but doesn't take it! He doesn't have time to sit in one place and read a book, Yomiel?)

And?

(Has it always been like this???)

[ aight more book for them ]

There's always been music playing from somewhere, but it used to be a more classical style - orchestras and stuff. I can't find anything on why it changed, though.

It's natural for music to change over time. Perhaps they thought this was more fun.

(He doesn't seem to mind it.)

Do you like music?

[ shrugs. ]

Maybe. It's not like they'd be the first to think so.

Would I be reading about it if I didn't?

You could be one of those scholar types. You know... the ones who always have their nose in a book.

The ones that are easy to surprise.

(He means easy pick on....... and he means nerds. The word he wants is "nerd." Maybe Yomiel is just a nerd.)

I don't make a habit of wasting time on things I don't actually care about.

(So they're a niche nerd.)

Hm.

(Just "hm." And he nods,)

Can you play?

Yeah, but it's not like I'm a pro or anything. I can't even practice while we're doing this, unless there's a guitar hidden away in one of these worlds or something.

As long as you have, that's most important.

If we find one, you must play for me sometime!

I'm not sure if you'd like it, if you do all that traditional stuff. [ ... ] But I guess I don't mind playing for one person.

[ even if they sound awkward about it. ]

(Claps his hand!!! Kiku also trills, equally excited!)

I love a good surprise even more. I'll make sure to look forward to it.

O-Oi, don't get too excited about it or anything. I'm still an amateur, you know. It won't be anything that special.

(Too late. He is excited.)

A private performance for me from Yomiel? Of course, it will be.

Don't make a big deal out of it! You don't even know if we'll find a guitar anywhere!

More reason to be surprised!

(HE'S GETTING MORE EXCITED)

[ they turn away!! ]

I changed my mind. I'm not playing for you.

You said you would. If you take it back, I'll die.

...Four people have really died and you still think it's a good idea to be that dramatic?

I'm being serious. Surprises are essential in life.

Then you can get them from someone else!
