The Inspection

On the whole, the weather had been temperamental lately. One minute, it was absolutely bucketing it down, and the next, it was bright sunshine. The amount of rain had turned the ground into a muddy mess, but at least the tents provided perfectly adequate shelter, and a gazebo had been erected over the community dining table to protect everyone from the elements.

Despite the temperamental weather, however, it had been fairly warm throughout the past two weeks, so the chill in the air during dinner that evening was particularly noticeable, even before the dark, hooded figure by the Ministry's representative's desk had been seen.

Nervously, the Ministry representative approached the table.

"I'm afraid we have a visitor," he said, addressing everyone at the table and hoping that anyone not there could hear him. "This is a Dementor, one of the Guards at Azkaban. It's a high security prison. He's just here to, well, ensure that a certain escaped criminal isn't hiding amongst you.

"I don't expect he'll be here for more than an half an hour, so do try not to worry too much. They can make people rather, well... uncomfortable."

Bowing his head slightly, he left the Outsiders to their meal.

[And so, a Dementor is lurking around the camp, just in case one of the Outsiders is secretly Sirius Black. They're known to sap the happiness out of the environment, and - in cases where there are true horrors in someone's past - cause traumatic memories to resurface.

The chilly, depressed feeling can be lifted by the deliciousness of chocolate, though the Outsiders will need to discover this on their own. Good thing there's dessert.

[A little worried.]

O-oi... don't get sick, eh. Take it slow. It's not going anywhere.
corruptedsouls: (Without your love)

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-08-20 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[He blinks a little, looking up at Marco confusedly.]

It's not?
fierybluebird: (soft glance)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-08-21 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Aye, I promise. I'll always find you a way to get you more here, so don't get hurt, okay?
corruptedsouls: (Clutching my cure)

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-08-21 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
...Okay.

[He eats a bit more slowly now, like an actual human rather than a starving animal.]
fierybluebird: (Something on your mind?)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-08-21 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Relieved sigh.]

Should I even ask why it's been so hard for you to get food lately, before all this?
corruptedsouls: (Save me)

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-08-21 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
...People... hate me... because I'm a monster...
fierybluebird: (blue flames)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-08-21 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh good. I like monsters. We share something in common.

[A gentle grin and he switches into his phoenix form.]
corruptedsouls: (Save me from the nothing)

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-08-21 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's about to ask exactly why Marco likes monsters, but the shift from human to the giant blue bird causes Tobias' jaw to drop and it's all he can do to simply stare at this.

Of course, he hadn't given much thought to the wings before, but seeing this now causes him to reach out an amazed, but almost hesitant hand, as if terrified that the bird is going to disappear like a mirage.]


You...?
fierybluebird: (not always such a bad guy)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-08-21 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nods his head and leans a phoenix head into Toby's hand gently.]
corruptedsouls: (I don't know what's worth fighting for)

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-08-21 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[He tries to be very gentle with the touch, but his eyes widen further as the feathers come in contact with his gloved hand. For a moment, he can't even breathe.]

...You're... real...

[He pauses for a moment, taking in the looks.]

...really pretty... not... like me...
fierybluebird: (fond grin)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-08-22 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Shakes his head and nudges him again before switching back into a hybrid form so he can still talk to him.]

Kid you're plenty adorable. If you were a pirate, I'd be forced to adopt you on the spot, eh?
corruptedsouls: (And make me real)

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-08-22 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Pirate?

[He blinks a little at that, as if he doesn't quite register that pirate-pirates actually exist. Still, the sight of the phoenix transformation -- and even this hybrid -- seems to have done wonders in calming him down.]

...no one... wants to really adopt me... do they?
fierybluebird: (almost angelic)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-08-22 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I would.

[Ruffles his head.] You aren't too monstrous to me, eh? But I come from a family of monsters. We're the best.
corruptedsouls: (Call my name)

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-08-23 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
A... family? There's more people... like you?
fierybluebird: (brothers)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-08-23 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm the only phoenix, but Jozu is made of diamond, Ace was made of fire, and Pops was five times my size and could cause earthquakes. And Blamenco pulls hammers out of pockets on his chin, and Namur's a fishman and --

Point is, we're all monsters in our own way, but we're all family too.
corruptedsouls: (Save me from the nothing)

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-08-23 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's just staring at Marco now in amazement, completely with jaw slightly agape. That was not at all what he expected.]

...Wow...
fierybluebird: (Don't worry I've got this)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-08-23 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wry grin.]

Like I said, we're the best, eh.
corruptedsouls: (I'll never fight again)

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-08-24 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
You are. I... didn't think anyone else... was like that...
fierybluebird: (soft glance)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-08-24 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Lots of us. But if everyone hides, it's hard to find each other, eh?
corruptedsouls: (Breathe into me)

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-08-25 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
...I guess that's true... but there were never any like that where I'm from...
fierybluebird: (Something on your mind?)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-08-26 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
None at all? Just you?
fierybluebird: (soft glance)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-08-30 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
Well, now you've got me, eh. So you're not alone anymore.
fierybluebird: Giving a one winged hug (one-winged hug)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-09-04 11:34 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely. Us monsters should stick together, right?
