~>Fury of the Wind<~ (A Bird RP)

[Amer]

(How about we say Shard is knocked out from the impact, that way @RoostersAreAwesome can still join in by having her wake up, but otherwise we can continue. However if you still think we should wait, I will.)

Bagel Bite held on to Moonlight's feet like his life depended on it, which it very well did. As long as he could control her feet he would actually have a chance. With his powerful beak he grabbed the side of her face and shook her head back and forth like a dog with a rabbit in its mouth.

Lore instantly got flung into the mix of tumbling birds. Sometimes she was sandwiched between them, sometimes she was on top of both of them, and sometimes both of them were on top of her. Bagel Bite couldn't even remember who's wing belonged to who. Through a beakful of feathers and flesh, Bagel Bite was shouting something incoherent to Lore. After multiple attempts, finally a word could be understood: "Neck."

(On another note: Since @RoostersAreAwesome liked my character post I'm going to assume it's accepted.)

Moonlight twisted her body, in order to move her ankles into a different position so the bird felt the sharp steel of the twin blades. As he released her in pain, (I'm assuming, since he'd be bleeding) Moonlight smacked into the larger bird with surprising strength, but still not enough to keep him from standing his ground. (I'm assuming she didn't. She probably had something written that didn't post, since that always happens to me. Either way, your other characters don't need to get involved yet.)

(Where exactly would the blade hit him? I'm not entirely sure how she stabbed him when he's literally holding her feet, but I'll go along with it. and yes you're right I don't need to yet)

Bagel Bite squawked in pain, but nevertheless refused to let go. Because he knew if he let go it would all be over. He was good in combat but not the same way pigeon soldiers were. He gripped her feet even tighter, pushing her toes close together. He grabbed her face again and starting shaking her left and right with as much strength and speed as he could muster.

(The blades are on her ankles, so she had to twist around.)
Moonlight struggled and flailed her legs, his blood dripping down, as he grabbed tighter, the blades dug sharper.

(Can you even move your ankles when you can't move your feet? In which way are the blades facing? He's grabbing her feet from the bottom.)

Still holding onto her head and shaking her mercilessly, he rolled with her in an attempt to get on top of her. He was still yelling at Lore: "GIT NEECK!" He ignored the pain in his feet, he had to. He knew he couldn't keep this up forever.

Confusion wormed it's way across Moonlight's face as well.
She closed her eyes and clicked her iron heels together, as if to say: let's kill her.
Moonlight silently climbed a rush of air, a sudden light drizzle drowning out the sound of her wingbeats, barely permeating her armor of black and white feathers.

"Why can't we just settle calmly?" said Lore nervously. "Why all the need for blood and gore?"

"Because all of this that lies before you," Moonlight gestured a wing around. "Belongs to the pigeons by right. We are just taking that back."
Her glittering eyes threatened the owl to challenge her.

Bagel Bite spontaneously flew out of the tree in the opposite direction of which the pigeons were facing, as if he was fleeing the scene. He soared away until he was just a silhouette on the horizon. But - after some time you could see him turning around, and his silhouette becoming bigger and bigger. After picking up quite a bit of speed, he lowered himself until he was gliding only a few inches from the ground. He was still getting closer, and he was coming up behind them.

He lowered his beak to the ground and crashed into Shard with the top of his skull, hitting her in the spot right between the wings. It sent them both flying into a tree trunk and kicked dust up everywhere. Just a second before impact he let out an ear-piercing squawk that was closer to a scream - the kind that only gulls can do.

(If any of you have problems with this, like if it's unrealistic or something, let me know and I'll change it.)

Shard let out a squawk of surprise and heard a sharp snap when she was bowled over into the tree by the gull. She went limp, appearing to be dazed.

Moonlight flew for him while he was prone, slicing his wing with her iron heel.
"Next time I strike, you won't be able to use that wing," she growled softly, eyes blazing like twin suns.

He flapped his wings vigorously to knock her back (if that makes sense). He was standing on top of Shard like she was a dead log, with one foot holding her wings and the other on her neck. He was nearly twice her size. "You come near me again and I'll turn her into roadkill." He hissed, pressing down on her throat. His wing was bleeding, and a claw mark had made its way down his back.

(I'm sorry @RoostersAreAwesome if I didn't let your character react, it's just you never responded)

Shard struggled, trying desperately to flap her wings while he was distracted. Unfortunately, the gull was smart, and had only tightened his grip on her as Moonlight advanced.

Moonlight recovered quickly, returning to his side with a flap of her wings.
"Don't touch a pigeon like that," Moonlight growled.
She attempted to slice a tendon on his wing, so he couldn't fly.

Pud wanted to see what was going on so he poked his head out from the burrow.

(Okay, I think we should at least finish this 'scene' because we ended at a weird place)

Hoping that Shard would be too injured or dazed to attack him, and knowing he had the advantage of size, he flew off of her and body slammed Moonlight in the air while she was flying at him. Their feet interlocked (if that's okay with you) and once again they both went crashing down into the ground, though this time no one was really sure who was on top of who. (And now we wait.)

Shard rolled over onto her feet and attempted to fly at him, but then felt a sharp, agonizing pain in one of her wings. She glanced at it, annoyed, to see the end hanging loosely as she tried to tuck her wing in. That gull broke my wing! She realized, curling her toes, the glass shards tied to them clinking together.

"Why can't we just keep this tree? The rest can be yours," she said dumbly.

Name: Aristocrat
Species: Californian Condor
Age: 43
Gender: Male
Personality: Aristocrat is a captive bred born and raised Californian Condor. He currently lives at the city's local zoo. He is the Jabba the Hutt of the bird world. And has gained quite a bit of power by luring in weak or outcasted birds into his gang by promising them food from his plentiful supply and shelter if they do his bidding. However, once you're in the gang you can't ever come out. Overtime his requests will become more and more demanding, and his guards will seem more and more ruthless. And if you don't give him your full 100% loyalty then, let's just say that he lets his guards do their job. He's also a good bird to go to if you're looking to trade for something interesting, though you should tread very lightly.
He views himself as highly sophisticated, hence the name he's given himself, though whether or not he actually is is a question for another day. He pretends to be gentle as he's not one to be 'direct.' Though he is fully aware of his size and is not afraid to utilize it if things don't go his way.
Rank/Status: Yet another political figure.
Description: I don't know how to describe this so I'm just going to use a picture reference (https://www.treknature.com/gallery/photo188933.htm)
Family (if significant): His mother and father both died of old age.
Mate: He does have one mate (or 'cage mate' would be a better term), a female Californian Condor named Ruby. They have a strained relationship and don't get along well.
Chicks: He's never mentioned it.
History: It is rumored that once, and only once, he left his cage. Though if anyone knows no one will tell you what he did.

If this is too much of a political shift and you don't want to accept this I completely understand.

One thing you should note, however, is that General One-Toe would never let a bird of a different species into the pigeon military, if that's what you were planning to do.

Angel saw the little chick fall and swooped down, picking her up.

Remember, if you're going to play a hawk you have to make it realistic. If they come across a pigeon, they aren't going to just start chatting and become lifelong friends. If a hawk sees a pigeon, it's going to try and eat it. Unless, the hawk has some sort of reason for not killing the other bird right away (not hungry, bored, injured, curious, etc).

(@RoostersAreAwesome, I completely understand if you're busy, or even if you don't feel like it RPing right now, but why are you liking my posts (which means you've seen and acknowledged them) but then not responding? You're character is a key component to this scene and we can't continue on if you're not playing her.)

(I didn't have time to do anything more than read the posts, and didn't want to rush my reply.)

Lore DID wonder if she should help Bagel Bite but she took a look at herself and decided against it. She was much smaller than the pigeons and would probably get badly hurt. Then again, Bagel Bite was really putting up a fight for her and Angel and before she could think she found herself running into the tussle of birds. She pecked (Shard?) and didn’t let go pulling hard.

(My chickens do this when they fight)

Shard opened her beak in alarm, thrashing and flapping her good wing. Her glass razor-talon caught on Lore's skin, and Shard tore it away, blood on the glass.

 

[RoostersAreAwesome]

(I forgot Rocket was even there... let's just say Shard didn't get any backup.)

Rocket, who was flying around near a park, spotted a gull below. Then she saw a pigeon. A fight! Awesome! She tucked in her wings, doing the pigeon equivalent of a dive, looking to all the world like a small red blur. At the last second, she threw out her wings, body-slamming the gull.

A raven watched the fighting from the shadows of the higher branches of a tree. She narrowed her eyes, a glint of amusement shining in their dark expanse.

 

[RoostersAreAwesome]

"Huh. A crow and a couple of gulls." Barnacles muttered thoughtfully. "Not something you see every day." He gave her a questioning sideways look.

(@RiverStorm )

Fish Sticks eyed the other gull. "I was askin' the big one. Say, is something wrong with your voice? And what about adjacent intelligence?"
