If you see the big not-quite-a-bird in the sky circling around please don't shoot.

I mean. You're not going to hit me, but it's kinda rude.

Also, I'm Hawks. If you need anything at all, just let me know.

Anything?

That's a pretty tall order, chief!
What if someone just wants a snack or something?

[velocityraptor]

Sure, why not? I'm really fast, I'd make a great delivery service.

I'm a hero. No job is too small for me.

[emberized]

Well what if they don't even know and are asking you to decide?

[The point is that he's trying to help you realize you're being way too lenient, buddy!]

There's gotta be a limit

[velocityraptor]

Then I would recommend chicken skewers! Or fried chicken.

[ Don't mind his terrible raptor tastes. ]

Uh, not really. I won't do anything criminal, that's about it.

[emberized]

You're not supposed to just agree!

[Yeah, spoken like a true hero type all right; what Axel knows of them anyway.]

Whatever floats your boat I guess.
Wouldn't catch me being that careless.

Lemme guess. Paladin?

[telepathicignorance]

(Oh. They're pretty sure they know who this guy is.)

People are shooting?

[velocityraptor]

Yeah, someone was. Like I said, they didn't hit me, but it's probably weird to have someone like me lurking around. Don't really want to spend my time dodging.

[telepathicignorance]

Aren't there like, multiple kinds of bird people native to this world?

(Like the Peacocks and shit? Or do people just see "not a bird I'm familiar with" and immediately start shooting?

...It's probably some asshole deliberately shooting at bird people for some reason.

Fuck.)

[velocityraptor]

So I've heard, but I haven't seen any yet. It's not that big of a deal, I probably startled someone.

[general_affairs]

Oh shit, you weren't yankin my chain after all. Thanks again for getting me out of that cloud though.

You'd make a killing as a courier. There's always juicy gossip in it, too.

Voice

[velocityraptor]

I wasn't, at all. Why, you wanna come flying?

No problem, any time.

There's juicy gossip? Do tell.

[general_affairs]

Oh, you're offering to whisk me off my feet now? It was just one card trick.

[ A huff of a laugh. ]

Oh plenty. You wouldn't believe how catty the librarians get about trading stock.

[velocityraptor]

Well you did call me pretty~ [ Don't think he missed that. ]

I always enjoy the good gossip.

[bountyfull]

"Not-quite-a-bird" huh...

So, what's that mean exactly?

[velocityraptor]

It means I'm a person who flies like a bird because I have really big red wings. They're my quirk.

[bountyfull]

[ This just??? Leaves him with more questions. ]

A quirk, huh... okay.

I'll make sure to keep an eye out for a guy with big red wings. But I hope people don't waste ammo shooting blindly at things in the sky.

[velocityraptor]

I probably just startled the guy, he probably didn't mean it. [ Ever the optimist. ]

Quirks are special abilities. In my world almost everyone has some kind of quirk. Mine just happens to be my wings.

un: stillarhino

[stillarhino]

why they gonna shoot you if they looking up at the sky

[He doesn't get it.]

[velocityraptor]

I think I probably startled someone who wasn't expecting something as big as me flying by. Just thought I should let people know I'm around.

[stillarhino]

wait yous the one whos doing the flying?
thought yous just saying to look out for some kinda hugeass bird or something

[velocityraptor]

Yeah it's me. I've got big red wings.

I'm kind of a bird? It's complicated.

un: octoblot

[octoblot]

First of all, it's a pleasure to meet you, Hawks-san.

Secondly, that seems rather rude for people to start shooting at you just for flying around. It's not like you were doing anything suspicious other than flying by to warrant that, right?

[velocityraptor]

Nice to meet you!

Of course I wasn't, just stretching my wings. I think I startled the guy mostly. Just thought I should warn people I'm going to be flying around.

Boats are really weird. Not that I like any modes of transportation really.

[octoblot]

Fair enough. Thank you for the warning, in that case.

I suppose most transportation would not be of much use to you, if you are able to simply fly to places on your own.

[velocityraptor]

That's true, that's how I get around. I'm faster than a boat, why would I ever need one?

Most places are also cramped and uncomfortable and not made for someone with wings. It's easier to fly.
