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.

The scent of sulfur hung heavy in the air. It made Madriu feel more than a little ill--he almost couldn't believe that a park could smell so bad, witohut there being some kind of problem. Earthlings were usually better at keeping their public spaces clean, at least in his experience--or, rather, the public spaces they left pretty and green. The back alleys and such, much less so, but this was...strange, in a pretty park with manicured flower beds and a lovely fountain.
So what was that reek?
He stepped into the clearing aorund the fountain, and was surprised to find that it looked as clean as the rest of the park he'd wandered thorugh. No trash, no rotting food, nothingt hat sheould cause the smell...
And then there was a guttural, rasping cluck, and MAdriu turned, and only had an instant to process what he was seeing.
A huge bird, strange and gangly and distinctly not a youma because he could feel no taint of Chaos from it, and most of all, it was blindingly furious. The bird charged, and before he could move ot get out of its way, it crashed into him full force, knocking him off his feet and sending him crashing to the ground. With horror, he realized that he was looking at the source of the smell--and it was very, very angry. <********," he gasped. s**t, s**t, this was not good, he needed to get away before those nasty looking claws came down on him.
