[So, late in the morning the following words are reluctantly written though not on a post-it.  The letters are what you'd expect from someone using an ultra-thick marker on a larger-than-normal journal.  It's not quite the same as Above's usual handwriting, but it's markered and in modified all caps, all the same]



I can't fly.

Hurt?

[pompous_today.livejournal.com]

Above? Are you injured?

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

Not yet.

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

I'm tiny. And I don't have wings.

[pompous_today.livejournal.com]

What happened to them?

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

I don't know, they're gone.

This really sucks.

[hanakioku.livejournal.com]

Need help?

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Do you have [pentap, how to phrase it really] the rest of what you normally would?

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

No. I don't even have my pelt, I'm naked!

[Clumsily markered over because she remembered that "naked" doesn't just mean "bare-skinned", but also "has no clothing". ...Which is also true, though she's wrapped in a blanket, and she's remembering all that socialization now.]

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

Do you have like a rope? A really, really long one?

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

I'm not certain that I can help with that, but I can certainly come if you require assistance.

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

I don't think you can. I picked a hole far from anything.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

A high place, or an isolated one?

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

[Sigh.]

A little of column A, a little of column B.



[It's a woodpecker nest in one of the big branches holding up Housing, but well below any of them.]

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

[Just his kind of challenge.]

Can you estimate the distance to the closest overhead structure?

this is an outrage

[crowsloveapples.livejournal.com]

You can't fly?!?!

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

I can't see it. I never went and climbed up the bark either, you know?

I don't know. Two hundred feet?

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

No.

It sucks.

[hanakioku.livejournal.com]

Yes. How long?

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

Two hundred feet, easy. Unless you're really good at climbing? The bark's not smooth... It's just a really long way down.

[crowsloveapples.livejournal.com]

It's terrible! What happened?

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Securing rope of that length is not impossible, though we will need to know where to cast it down from. Please wait a moment - I have an idea.

[Namely, recruiting the incredible flying Veda (http://interveningly.livejournal.com/3235.html?view=135331#t135331).]

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

I don't know! I just woke up like this!

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

I think Amurui was going to find it.

[This is so embarrassing.]

[crowsloveapples.livejournal.com]

Without wings? Are you a different person? That happened to me before, I woke up and I was someone with fins!

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

[She dodges the question.]

I'm human.

[crowsloveapples.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Don't worry Above, it'll only last for a little while! At least it did for me.

Hey now that you're closer to my size, we can go do fun things together like explore the aquarium or play with the animals in the shelter.

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

Promise?


I've never been in the Aquarium.

[crowsloveapples.livejournal.com]

I can't promise, but I'm almost sure it won't last forever.

It's really neat! Especially at night!

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

Great. I hope it doesn't.

I can barely see at night. ...Could. I guess it's different like this.

[hanakioku.livejournal.com]

Trapped?

Can tie ropes. Make long.

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

Yeah... It's a woodpecker nest.

Would you?

/threadjacks moar

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

If Amurui-qiánbeì might help supply the rope, gui-Veda could locate you and bring it down, as well as assist in your climbing. He apparently can fly now.

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

Lucky Veda.

Guess I have to. Don't laugh at me.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

I see no reason why I should. It must be a very distressing experience for you.

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

If you do laugh, do it when I can't see.

[hanakioku.livejournal.com]

Have rope now. Huo help?

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

Yeah... Okay.


There's a house at the edge of the third section, on the west side of the tree, with a bright red weathervane. It's a couple houses south, off the edge, and down.

OOC

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

We logging/QL this or handwave? ^^

OOC

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

I'd rather handwave, actually; this is a lot to coordinate.

Re: OOC

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Sure. It kind of is ^^.
