Who: Pyxis
Where: Pyxis dorm
When: Day 204, morning
What: building \o/

[There is an assortment of edible construction materials laid out on the Pyxis diningroom table. Sugar cubes, graham crackers and gingerbread, frosting, gumdrops, and coconut make for a very appetizing and taunting display.]

... Do you think they'll let us eat it when we're done?

There's nothing there.

[crowingabout.insanejournal.com]

You can't see the big black bird sitting on the table?

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

No?

—wait, it's a bird? Fuck! I wanna see it!

[crowingabout.insanejournal.com]

He's right there!

Maybe you're just not awesome enough to see him.

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

That ain't it at all, shut up.

[crowingabout.insanejournal.com]

Haha, just kidding! [FRIENDLY SHOULDER-SLAP]

Anyway, whether you can see him or not he should have a name too.

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

[GRUMBLE :|] 'Course he gets a name, he's part of the team, even if we can't see him.

Passerine, Jackdaw, Carrion . . . [thoughtful :|a]

[crowingabout.insanejournal.com]

What's a passerine?

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

It's a name for certain kinds of birds.

[crowingabout.insanejournal.com]

Nah, gotta be something cooler. What's your name?

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

Ikki. Before someone remembered it, it was Raven.

[crowingabout.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, that's more like it.

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

Uhh . . . eagle, falcon, hawk . . .

I don't remember all that many birds, y'know.

[crowingabout.insanejournal.com]

I like falcon! And hawk.

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

I kinda like hawk better.

[crowingabout.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, it sounds more... spiky. Hawk, hawk, hawk...

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

Heh, a little, yeah.

[crowingabout.insanejournal.com]

Ok, so now it's your turn. [contemplates the crow]

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

What's it look like?

[crowingabout.insanejournal.com]

Like a raven.

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

Hooooh . . .

Well, the names I rattled off earlier are types of ravens - they're all in the same family.
