"Why would I want to...." Nightstar trails off as she watches the unnatural amount of parrots converging together.

"Okay something freaky's going on here."

"Byte told the truth!" Arkady says as he places another box.

You really are from the future! Tell me, am I living in a cottage in Nova Scotia, happily married with one egg and another on the way?

"Byte? Who's Byte?" she says, squinting to get a better look at the rooftop.

"And those guys are freaking comedians! Did you know they think humans are gods? These dipshits think such an easily killable thing is a god!"

For a second, one of the parrots stares at them, its eyes gleaming malevolently. It turns away, continuing the suspicious, black-speech-ladden conversation with its brethren.

"Byte is a ferret. She told us that the parrots here are some kind of cult." Arkady says. "And yes, Leo did kill a human. I saw it myself."

"....."

"I'm getting very uncomfortable. We should head back inside."

"Oh, and I still don't believe it."

One of the parrots begins to fly from the skyscraper down to ground.

"We, perhaps, should. But where will you go? With us?" Arkady asks.

The parrot flies closer and closer...

"Yeah, sure. Now let's run!" Arkady says as he runs to the door of the pet shop.

Nightstar's tail bristles as she realizes they were staying in the pet shop, but follows them in.

The parrot lets out a horrid screech before it dives in.

And then suddenly, just as soon as it gets close, the huntress leaps up with her claws outstretched and her jaws open wide.

(5)

She snatches the parrot right out of the air and pins it to the ground. The parrot's wing beat frantically against her, but she ignores them, trying to keep it in place.

since iirc parrots are pretty big birds, ill roll a die each turn to see how long she can keep it pinned

"Alright you rainbow-feathered creep. What the fuck is your deal? What were you all doing up there? Are you trying to kill us?? Huh???"

"Fuckin'- fuckin' mammalian filth! I'll say nothing! Leave me alone before my blood brethren, the Cult of Skin, arrive!" the parrot says.

Indeed, the parrots on the roof are starting to dive towards Nightstar.

"Shit."

Nightstar lets the parrot go and scrambles back into the shop.

Jericho, once again, decides to show up right the fuck out of nowhere.

"Ah. So, who are these dipshits?"

Milo patters out from behind a crate of Captain Caboodle! brand cat food."What did you guys suddenly run back in here for? I thought you had gone to get things to build a shelter with."His eyes widen in fear as he sees Nightstar. A little squeak emanates from the back of his throat as he asks, "And what are you doing here?"

"Oh look....." notes Nightstar. "It's the ungrateful mouse and the revolting spider."

"Listen," she says, turning back to Leo and Arkady. "What did you two say to the hunters? Tell me everything."

"Oh, those guys! Friendly fellows, those guys! Just kidding, they were assholes. What did I tell them... It started off when Arkady mentioned you, then they asked how he knew you, and then we told them about how you attacked that town of mice... and how you ran away like a bitch. That's about all I remember."

"............... Fucking hell...."

Suddenly, a loud horn echoes throughout the city - a sound very distinct from the two heard before, though the less perceptive animals might be unable to tell the difference.

"That's the convocation horn.... I need to get back." Nightstar leaps up onto one of the high cages to look out the window and see if the coast is clear.

"Well, we fucked up! Somehow. Not sure how, but I'm sure we did! Now, what do we do about the boxes?"

assuming the coast isnt clear because why not

"That's your problem, dude," she says, jumping back down to the floor and starting to pace back and forth. "I need to get back, I need to explain...."
