Poultrygeist (10) : As Destiny City is a bustling metropolis, it’s not unexpected that there should be some strange animals running the streets. Sometimes it’s a tiger, sometimes a monkey, sometimes a chicken. Sometimes it’s something worse. Strange egg clusters have appeared in Destiny City’s parks and officials aren’t really sure what they are; these eggs have nothing inside of them. Though it’s an anomaly, they are chalking it up to teenaged pranks. However, they have advised to just leave the eggs as they are. Nobody wants to say why, but if you’re out late at night, you’ll find out. In the darkness, whispered between the sounds of the city: a guttural, rasping cluck. The creature stands on stilt-like legs, rooted to the ground with razor-sharp talons. It wears a cloak of long, oily feathers that drag on the ground with a sinister scraping. If you stare into the darkness, piercing red eyes stare back at you. That’s all it takes for a confrontation: a mangled bird, maybe a chicken in another life, comes barreling out at you. It stands easily as tall as a person, but the proportions are all wrong. The smell of sulfur follows it as it lunges, pecking and screaming and scratching as it attempts to chase you away. Maybe, from the nests full of empty eggs. The battles are fierce, but fleeting; it will viciously try to chase you away but the effects are always the same: at some point, the eggs are crushed. As always, there’s nothing inside of them, but with one final wail, the bird will vanish into a plume of foul smoke.
Note: If you choose to encounter one of these bird-like creatures, your character will recognize they are not youma. It is impossible to tell if it is a single entity or if there are many. The bird does not seem to understand or care to listen to human words. It will always disappear in a malodorous plume of smoke and leave nothing but a foul odor and a clutch of empty, broken eggs behind. This RP can be used as a battle requirement as long as there are two powered characters involved; you must be interacting with another player’s powered character. This does not count as the one youma battle per stage for growth. This can only be used as a battle requirement once per character, but there is no limitation for how many times a player can use this prompt.

Angel had been thinking over the things he had learned from Sessrumnir and Valhalla for a while, the fact that youma used to be people and everything thereafter. He had gone back and forth on telling Florian, but ultimately decided that it was the right call. That, and he also needed the support for telling his sister about the whole magical nonsense. Which was how he found himself walking with his younger sister to the flower shop, doing his best to ignore her persistent suspicious frown.
"Aria. If you don't stop staring at me, I'm going to go nuts. Just chill. I'm just.... bringing you to introduce you to someone, that's all." Someone. Because god forbid he and Florian put a name to whatever they were. That would be a conversation for a much, much different time.
Sighing as his sister rolled her eyes, he pushed the door of the shop open and sighed, immediately relaxing as soon as he saw Florian. "Hey." The smile he gave the other was soft and warm, and really all he wanted to do was walk over and wrap his arms around him. Because holding all this heavy s**t in? It sucked.

Aria walked beside Angel, staring him down the entire way. He had been acting odd lately, more serious and less vibrant, and it had worried her. A lot. At first, she had worried that maybe something had happened between him and the cute boy from the flower shop, but she quickly dismissed that. She had seen her brother after a breakup and this most certainly wasn't that. Whatever was going on was serious, and that made her infinitely more concerned than any breakup ever would.
Rolling her eyes as she was scolded, she walked into the familiar shop, mildly amused that he had no idea this was where the vast majority of his plant graveyard once lived. Smiling cheerfully, she waved at Florian as she stayed beside her brother. "I promise I'm not here to buy more plants for my brother to kill." She wondered if Florian even knew that her and Angel were siblings. She hadn't ever said anything, and Angel certainly hadn't seemed to realize they at least were familiar with one another. Though Florian did seem quite a bit smarter than her brother.
