"Yours? But... My flock'll need me eventually. I can be yours until then!" She crows cheerfully before remembering she was supposed to be angry. She tries to be upset again, but her childish soul wouldn't allow her to do so. "Oh! I forgot to tell Azrail and Will that I want a female play mate." She mutters to herself before she shrugs, deciding she could say it later.

Azrail blushes and pulls his tongue in his mouth as he tries to hide his red face behind his hands. "I can live with that." Azrail nods once before moving his hand from his face to readjust his satchel. It was rubbing his shoulder raw, but he wasn't about to complain about it because he could switch it to the other shoulder, which he does.

(That describes me 24/7. How come when I get confused it's always me confusing myself? *has no idea if I went or if its my turn so randomly places down a blue reverse*)

"Ok! Just making sure." Austyn says, bouncing excitedly when Tippy seemed pleased with his hug. "And now I can give hugs to both of you! Physical hugs for Rin and the chocolate version for Tippy! Unless you also want a chocolate hug, Rin." Austyn says, holding one out for Rin if he wants one. Austyn couldn't have sugar or else he'll go crazy. Dark chocolate is fine, though.

(*nods* yes, pineapples are delicious... *waves as you run away before proceeding to sing 'Evermore' from 'Beauty and the Beast'* Whaaat? I need to sing something.)

"Nope! Still mine," East says eagerly still clinging onto Churrio tightly, "Won't let go if you try to leave! Because your mine forever and ever and ever! There is nothing you can do about it!"
North sighed, trying to pull him off of Churrio, but was having troubles, "Come on East, stop this craziness now," She said as East shook his head, refusing to.

"You better live with that," He teased Azrail gently as his own face went pink with a blush, making him look like a strawberry, "Or I'll make sure you do~!"

(*gasps* it was green xD, how dare you! Anyways I confuse myself too, just only sometimes!)

Rin takes it, then gives it to Tippy. Tippy seems very pleased with the chocolate hugs, nodding happily.
"Chocolate is his favorite," Rin said happily, "He'll eat it all if you gave it to him," He joked laughing a bit.

(*stares* okay... you sing and I'll be here xD)

Churrio spots a cloud in the shape of a rabbit. "Oooh! Can I have that?" She asks pointing to the cloud. "It looks like an adorably fluffy thing." She squeaks, wiggling her wings out of East's grip enough to open her wings and jump into the air to catch her cloud bunny.

Azrail laughs, "You can make sure I do no matter what. I can be royally amusing. I'll be your court jester if you really want me to. I'd do anything if you asked it." Azrail says seriously before pausing and rethinking. "Everything except let you die, leave you alone and a few others that are off limits like killing." He gives a strangled yelp as a flurry of feathers drops next to him. It looked like Churrio except it wasn't Churrio.
'Omari said these two were the ones that would know.' The bird thing says, poking Azrail curiously with its spear. Well, it didn't say anything. It was more the voice in the back of your mind that let you know vaguely what it was meaning. Three others land next to them while two hovered, ready to shoot them down if they decided to fly away. Azrail notices one trying to touch Will and he slapped it's talon away.
"Nu-uh. Not allowed." Azrail says, grimacing when the bird creature on his side roughly jabbed at him with the blunt end of the spear. The one that had been slapped grabs Azrail's hands and admired the bracelets, pulling them off quite easily.
'I like these. Why don't we just take them and go. We can tell Omari nothing and instead use this to bribe.' That one said, its rusty red feathers glinting in the light.
"No, hand those back." Azrail says, trying to grab his bracelets, which the bird was keeping just out of reach.

(Confusion is big. It has taken over my brain *flops backwards into pool that happens to be there* *bubble noises*)

Austyn smiles brightly and hands him the last two chocolates in his bag. "There you go!" He says happily, cheerfully bouncing in place.

(*blep*)

"Nope, it's mine," East says before yelping in surprise as Churrio takes off into the air.
He holds on more tightly, trying not to fall off. It wouldn't kill him but that didn't make it any more enjoyable.

"You don't need to be my jester," Will said with a sheepish smile as his tail curled in circles amusement, "Of course those rules make sense, but I'm sure you'll follow them and so will I."
Will jumped at the sudden bird appearance, tensing when he realized it wasn't Churrio. Then it talked and Will put a hand to his forehead, feeling like it's voice was screeching loudly in his head. He was glad that Azrail made sure they didn't touch them, feeling rather uncomfortable at the moment. He snapped when the bird took Azrail's bracelates. He raised his hand, letting frost creep around the area again. He started crying his red tears again. He tried to freeze the birds enough so Azrail could get his bracelet and so they would leave them alone.

(I am a kiwi *nods*)

Tippy eats them happily, making a very adorable face. Rin watched, finding it very cute.

(Moo)

Churrio slows and bats playfully at the cloud, flapping around it before realizing East was having a hard time holding on. She hooks her hind talond around his middle so he wouldn't fall before continuing her playful flying around her rabbit cloud. She pauses and turns when she hears a familiar screeching. "Jax..." She mutters as her eyes narrow and her feathers begin to fluff again. "What can he be doing here? Nothing good." She starts to fly over to the noise.

The bird screeches loudly, both in their head and out loud. It outwardly froze chest down, it was still alive and well, but it could still savagely peck at Azrail whenever he came close. The other birds were feeling a bit annoyed and/or threatened now, a few pressing closer with wicked looking spears or aimed their sharp arrows. Azrail falls back against Will and gives up when Jax sliced open his palm in his latest attempt to grab his bracelets. He was feeling really guilty that he was giving up since they meant pretty much the world to him. He had taken time, dedicated hours to each one, each one having represented a member of his family before the fire wiped them out. He shakes his head and decides to leave the bird alone. It could have his bracelets. He could do them over again. Somehow.
Jax cackles, feeling powerful with Azrail's defeat. A blackish purple feathered one pokes at the duo with its spear.
'You will tell us what we want to know.' It demands, 'We need to stop the group of wannabe heroes that are going to open the pillars.'
Azrail perks up, that was their group wasn't it? They were going to get the four direction folk and do something with pillars to stop the mind controlling person?
(If I got it wrong, whelp, change as needed. xD I forget things too easily. *nutty kitkat retreats to pillow fort to eat marshmallows*)

Austyn feels happy since Tippy was happy. He was glad he could cheer his friends up.

(Gobble gobble)

East is trying to hold on still, letting out a yelp as he slipped a bit. Then Churrio helped hold him in place, much to his relief. He heard the screech as well, but ignored it, it wasn't South and that was that. He didn't like that Churrio flew towards it though.

Will growled, tail lashing. He catches Azrail, moving him out of reach of the flappy raven things. He looks around at them, ready to fight. He was pissed, though he made sure Azrail was safe, sure Azrail lost some bracelets but Will wouldn't let anyone hurt him. Then he hears the birds word, the voice cutting into his mind painfully.
"And why should I do that," Will asks aggressively.
(I mean nothing seems wrong xD, I mean I am forgetful too xD)

It was at that moment that Cracker appeared, sweating and wheezing as he caught his breathe, "Th-hey... are he-ere," He wheezed.

(*stares* cawwwwwww)

Churrio was determined to stop Jax. Jax was never up to any good. The greedy Fayte never knew when to keep his thieving hands to himself. She mutters curses under her breath as she tries to fly faster, but her wings were already tired from a day of flying and East's weight wasn't helping matters.

'Why shouldn't you?' Jax caws, trying to peck himself out of the ice.
'You should do it because your life is on the line.' A blue jay type looking one chirps cheerfully, twirling their staff expertly.
'You know Omari doesn't like when we do that... But I wouldn't mind killing them.' A mockingjay looking one muses, looking ready to release the tension on their bow's string by letting the arrow fly.
'Fools, silence! We can't exactly kill them until they give us the directions and you should tell it to us because you don't want to figure out what we do to those who resist.' The purpley black one says, slamming its spear into the ground to get its companions attention. It motions for two of the bird people to grab onto their hostages.
Azrail had wrapped his hand in the hem of his shirt as he searched for what he needed to help heal it. The only bad thing about this, well, ok, two reasons. One, you couldn't exactly put a bandaid on it, it would have to be bound if he wanted to put any Neosporin or bacitracion on it to hopefully protect against any infection. Two, it hurt a whole bunch because it went right along a bunch of nerve endings and so it hurt like the son of a brick but it wasn't that bad. He got caught easily.
'Now one of you have to get talking because I know both of you have the ability to speak. If you don't, the other dies.' The blackish one says, placing its spear against Azrail ribs while the blue one tries to get Will and do the same for him.
(xD great! Just making sure. :3)

"Who are here?" Austyn asks. "Is Riley ok?" He goes to Cracker's side and gently pats his shoulder in an attempt to comfort and calm him down.

(*monkey chitters*)

East was still clinging on, then finally let go, letting himself fall. He only did it because he knew South was here, watching as clouds swirled around him and caught him. He giggled, hitting the clouds playfully. South was not far off, they would be okay!

"Still, I don't want to," He huffs though he looks tense.
He still felt weird from East's heart and knew he wouldn't be able to fight properly. Second, Azrail was in a life or death kind of situation and Will was in no mood for someone to die. Also he was bleeding, he needed to help him! So he let's the bird do it to him, but kept in his most powerful form, flappers and all. He did freeze the spear tip though, so if they tried to stab him he could just shatter it to pieces. He sadly couldn't do the same to Azrail's spear.
(You are approved xD)

"The faytes are here," He said finally catching his breathe, looking surprised, "And both the leaders are about to fight! We need to stop them!"

(Moo moo mooooo!)

Churrio halts in the sky when East falls, but once seeing he was ok, she continued on her quest, telling East she'd be back soon enough. Then she continues her flight, wings almost cramping and freezing up on her when she resumed.

'Ok. You're loss.' The black one shrugs and applies pressure to the spear, making it dig into Azrail's side. They were giving Will one more chance before Azrail went bye bye. Azrail tries not to let any sign of pain show, but he fails miserably. Azrail knew he wouldn't be able to speak because his throat was constricting with pain and fear so he signs as best he could at the one holding his arms behind his back, trying to get them to understand that he wanted to say something.
'If you have something to say, just say it. I'm not letting you go so you can attack. Though it would be useless to do so. You shouldn't try.' The dangerous cassowary looking one says, not about to let go. Also, they were possibly unable to understand sign language. Azrail pants, dots dancing before his eyes as he tries to plead with Will to tell them. He wasn't used to having to deal with this much pain and he didn't want to have any more. He wasn't thinking straight, not that he ever did with him liking guys and all, and he didn't even think of the rest of the group, which would probably die when the Faytes got to them.
The one holding Will also tried to stab him with the spear, but it broke because frozen ice business. The blue jay looks rather annoyed and so instead they slap Will, talons raking across his face. (Fun fact: blue jays are an aggressive bird species, having been known to decapitate other birds! *excited giggle because I feel so proud for knowing this fact before realizing its a not so happy and cheerful fact and quieting down*)

"What are Faytes? Is it Crowley's significant other's followers or something?" Austyn asks. "We do have to stop the leaders! But how? I'm no good in convincing others or talking things out peacefully."
(shriek shriek *more bird noises*)

"Birds fly, so high, like diamonds that glitter in the sky," A voice hums softly above her.
It looked like a bird, kind of. It had a bird skull head and a body that was a skeleton, but not exactly a bird skeleton. It's body was circled with clouds, making it impossible to see. It had a human pair of skeleton hands with claws and a pair of skeleton wings. It also had bone talons. It was South!

Will looks a bit panicked, but doesn't show it, "Fine, they are south, looking for the master of air there. Kill them quickly for me," He said with a shrug.
He did yelp a bit when the bird stabbed him, well didn't because it broke. He did get the scratch in the face, talons raking across his cheek and getting one of his eyes. He hisses in pain before realizing that instead of blood decently hot lava stuff was coming out. Well it was dripping on the grass, so he could see the grass burn a bit. It was weird.
"I told you, not let us go," Will hisses with a small sigh.
(*cheers at cool fact*)

"I don't know, but the king says it'll make things more interesting. Please, you got to help, everyone has been acting weird and I have no idea what is going on," Cracker begged.

(*moos more*)
