[cawky]

much less gullible than i remember

[dupable]

haha really funny!
i was never actually that gullible anyways.

[ He likes to think... ]

[cawky]

i got company
i might have room for one more though

[dupable]

[cawky]

[dupable]

see you soon!

[cawky]

[Its hard not to stand out in the city like he is. Davesprite is, of course, not currently a sprite, but decked out in his CHOICE DUDS, red little bowtie and all. The image is marred by a gaggle of birds that have all flocked to him -- mostly pigeons and crows. One of the larger crows remains perched on his head.

He doesn't bother trying to shoo them until he spots John coming into view.]

[dupable]

[ John doesn't try to scare them off either. In fact he lands a good several feet away from Davesprite and stares at the birds in bemusement. ]

Hey, dude... I couldn't find Jade so we'll just have to meet up with her later... What's with the birds?

[cawky]

Assholes haven't left me alone since I walked out of the building. Told you I had company, dude.

[He swats a few more times in a way that suggests he isn't really bothered, but he still doesn't want them pooping on his suit.

He stops for a long moment and stares at John. He hadn't really had a change to see him much in person before this moment, and the weight of it was hitting him a little hard. He covers it up with a shrug and comments on the lack of Jade.]

No big deal.

[dupable]

[ Sadly, for the past year, John has had no lack of Dave, in fact, even though he keeps coming in and out, John's seen his fair share of Davesprite too, so while this is an emotional moment for Davesprite... John is an oblivious douche. ]

Can you shoo them away or something? We definitely can't let this many birds in the house.

[ He's walking over to him now and lifting his hands up to try to wave at some of the birds. ]

[cawky]

[Davesprite doesn't seem to give a fuck -- he's good at that. John's attempt at shooing has mixed results. Most of the pigeons fly off, but the crows remain stubborn. The largest one caws obnoxiously and pecks at John's hand in a bold fashion.]

Pretty sure that's feathery asshole for "fuck off bro".

[Maybe its that gross orange scent that's attracting them. Not that Dave can tell.]

[dupable]

Ow!

[ Jerking his hand back and rubbing the spot the crow pecked him. ]

I didn't even do anything to him.

[cawky]

You shooed him pretty hard just now. Think you might've offended the guy. Maybe you should think about apologizing.

[The crows are giving John a dubious look. Dave rolls his shoulders to try and shake a few off -- it doesn't work.]

[dupable]

[ Making a face at him. ]

I'm not apologizing to your head crow.

[cawky]

The corvid legion is disappointed in you, Egbert. Songs will be sung of your great offense to birdkind.

[Folding his arms, shaking his head. The bird on his head caws again, trying to reestablish his foothold.]

[dupable]

They will just have to continue to be disappointed then.

[ He's got his eye on you, head crow. ]

You're gonna have to get rid of them before we go inside though.

[cawky]

I'll just live in a box, it'll be totally legit. I'll make a treehouse out of it.

[Head crow stares right back and tilts its head.]

[dupable]

Okay, I don't know what is with versions of you always wanting to live in boxes, but that is not happening.

[ ... That crow is actually kind of unnerving :C ]

[cawky]

I'll chase 'em off. But they're not gonna leave.

[He shrugs. Headcrow evolves into shouldercrow, chasing one of the smaller ones away.]

[dupable]

[ Frowning a little. WELL at least he got rid of one of them. Good job, shouldercrow. ]

If they leave long enough for us to get you inside we can just close the windows, it'll be fine.
