[ Whenever Damien seems free, there will be one bird child sheepish approaching him with smartphone in hand. She may or may not have noticed him using it earlier. ]
Umm.. I've never seen.. something like this before. Can you teach me how to use it? Please? [ /puppy eyes. ]
[ she plops right on down next to him, her tail feathers swishing. ]
I don't think even the researchers carry something like this. [ holds up the phone and turns it to its side, squinting at it. ] They said we could.. talk to each other.. with these?
It's like a... [ trying to figure out an explanation someone without phones would understand? ] A shared book. You can write in it, and other people can read it.
[ innocent bird tilt, settling right next to him ]
But I like it when others are happy. I was made the same as Elpis flowers, we react and.. respond.. to feelings. And emotions around us. It's what I'm used to.
[ HER WORDS.... SHE STRUGGLES but she does her best despite her stuttering ]
I'm.. an Entelechy! With my abilities, I can feel your emotions, share your feelings... hear your thoughts. I.. wouldn't do it without asking permission first, though! Only if I'm allowed.
Hermes created me this way. It's to.. help with his project.
[ it's okay, she doesn't look bothered by him. really it's the.. bubble that's a thing here. she's already suffered a.. not good memory before so she understands his anger.
she ponders and raises her hands up to her wings. ] I can.. close my eyes and not listen. Do you think.. that'll work?
[ she has in fact not tried that yet. she was too shook the first few times. ]
[ he thinks about it, but... shrugs. he doesn't like having his privacy invaded, but... this stuff isn't like abilities back home. it's like magic. he's not sure sensory deprivation would change the way they experience the memories. ]

... You know, when you want something, you don't have to make sure it'll make someone else happy.
[ that's not good advice. ]

... And you can still do that, here? Most people got any special abilities they have taken away.
no subject
No.. not right now. I don't have my other form.. either. I only have.. the colors.

I was thinking
about what you said before
How it can overwhelm you
so i'm trying to avoid that but
it's hard
[ there's a pause before another one comes in ]
Are you okay?
no subject
might help to find someone stable. idk.
i'm alright. didn't know either of them very well and today was a nightmare, but. eh.
no subject
So I'll be okay
[ maybe! ]
I didn't either but it was
still sad to watch
and have happen
Are you not worried?
no subject

no subject
I don't think it's good to look away
[ and as he says, pretend. ]
Especially if this will
happen again

w3, monday
suddenly, there is a bird teen heading Damien's way. ]
D-Damien, watch out! [ there's a large... bubble.. zooming after her.
We Are Under Fucking Attack. ]
no subject
Go the other way!
[ ....... it's too late........ ]
no subject
.... it's too late. it swallows them up and now they are two hamsters in a ball. ]
...Sorry, Damien. [ her ambystoma peeks its funny face out from her collar with what sounds like a disappointed bwee at damien. ]
no subject
[ damien hates having people looking into his memories like this, so he can't just not be mad, even if it is the sweet baby bird. he's not that nice.
at least he's directing his anger at the situation and not her...? ]
no subject
she ponders and raises her hands up to her wings. ] I can.. close my eyes and not listen. Do you think.. that'll work?
[ she has in fact not tried that yet. she was too shook the first few times. ]
no subject
I wouldn't count on it.
