radiantchicken: (hey a parrot)

"I came from the zoo," the parrot huffed, walking a couple steps away from Bakura, "and I am not going back." Maybe he shouldn't be talking to humans, but this one was getting nosy. And he really wasn't going back. How could he, now that he had seen the outside?

Blink. Blink blink.

"...You talk?"

A pause. Dumb question. "Like actually talk, not just mimic crap. ...which clearly that wasn't what you were doing since you answered my question, geeze I'm being captain obvious today." He sighed, shaking his head. "Not going to make you go anywhere, no worries there," he added in after thought.
radiantchicken: (such a pretty bird)

The parrot stopped walking away, at least. "Lots of things can talk. They often find themselves without anything to say." He turned to scrutinize Bakura a little more closely.
shiromadoushi: (Shiranai kedo...)

The teen shrugged. "Fair enough. Though the few talking animals I've run into seem to talk a hell of a lot and say very little...."

Not that that was entirely fair or true, it was mostly the talking horse that was... well. More of a girl than a horse.

"Why? If I speak, I want to make sure it's important, since I wasn't able to do it before." The parrot casually preened a few feathers under one of its wings.
shiromadoushi: (Cluelessly Innocent)

Well that pretty much cinched it.

"Just recently found you could do it? Got a number stuck in your head when it happened?"
radiantchicken: (such a pretty bird)

[personal profile] radiantchicken 2013-12-29 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
"I got the numbers before, not just one, but a whole string of them," the parrot said, "but I couldn't talk until I got out of the zoo. I got the number when I got smart enough to get out of the zoo, I suppose." He hopped from one foot to the other. "You have numbers? What happened when you got yours?"
shiromadoushi: (Shiranai kedo...)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2013-12-29 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
The teen reached up to trace the scar under his eye with his left hand, showing off both scars with the same motion. "I got this."
radiantchicken: (such a pretty bird)

[personal profile] radiantchicken 2013-12-29 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
The parrot made a sympathetic cooing noise. "Looks like that hurt."
shiromadoushi: (Shiranai kedo...)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2013-12-30 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
A shrug. "Didn't notice when it happened. And it was a while ago."
radiantchicken: (hey a parrot)

[personal profile] radiantchicken 2013-12-31 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
The parrot gave another whistle. "Even things that happened long ago can still hurt." He sounded very assured of that, even though he was not a terribly old parrot.
shiromadoushi: (Shiranai kedo...)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2013-12-31 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Another shrug. "Yeah, well. This isn't one of them." It was said with an odd stiffness before he glanced over. "You got something like that too?"
radiantchicken: (hey a parrot)

[personal profile] radiantchicken 2013-12-31 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
The parrot pointed at a tiny replica Statue of Liberty over on another table. "Bad things happened." He made a sad parrot noise. "He was still mad at me a very, very long time after. And I was still unhappy with him."
shiromadoushi: (Anime: I don't?)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2013-12-31 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Blink. Blink blink.

"...Who? Someone connected to the statue...?"

Because if the parrot thought the actual statue was mad...
radiantchicken: (polly no want a cracker)

"He had a hat," the parrot said simply, "a hat like that one. And he was...like me? But not like me. And very bad." To be fair, it didn't make much sense to the parrot, either.
shiromadoushi: (Anime: wut)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2013-12-31 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"A hat like..." Bakura looked over at the statue, then back at the bird.

.... okay sure. A weird Statue of Liberty hat. Why not. He was having a conversation with a bird, after all and this was likely going to be the least weird part of his day.

"Like you how? An animal who could talk like a person?"
radiantchicken: (hey a parrot)

[personal profile] radiantchicken 2013-12-31 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't know like how. We didn't look at all alike. He wasn't a bird." The parrot sounded frustrated by that. "But we were the same somehow."

And he had a hat. A Statue of Liberty sort of hat.
