WHAT DO YOU DO? ]

. . . Oh!

[ i mean wings aren't that unusual but the specific formation of wings like that is kind of weird ]

Uhm. . . Hi? Are you okay?

[boomgoesthebirdy]

Yeah, I'm fine. The.... table?

[ He pats it like he's trying to confirm that it is, in fact, a table. ]

...the table just jumped outta nowhere.

[ He reaches around, his hands questing until he finds one of the chairs. ]

[pyromagiac]

. . . oh. Oh, you bumped into the table?

[ clopclopclop coming over to him ]

[boomgoesthebirdy]

That seems like the long and short of it.

[ Once he's satisfied his grip on the chair-like object is solid, he moves to sit down on it, tilting his head to follow the sound of the clopclopping hooves as they get closer. ]

[pyromagiac]

Uhmmm. . .

[ looking down at her phone, then looking back up to him ]

I'm guessing you're a new member of the unit! Do you remember anything?

[boomgoesthebirdy]

Is a "unit" where I am?

[ He shrugs, though. ]

As far as memories... Well, I remember waking up in a room a few minutes ago. Does that count?

[pyromagiac]

[ . . .

. . .

. . . ]

That's. . . a yes, then? Uhm. . .

We have a book here—it's outdated, but the compendium has a lot of good information if you want to take some time to read it. Uhm, for now, this unit is future is now, and you're my new neighbor!

[boomgoesthebirdy]

[ He smiles. ]

That's a "yes." It's nice to meet you, neighbor. You got a name to go with that cute attitude?

[pyromagiac]

. . . Huh?

. . . Oh! Sorry. Give me a second. . .

[ there's the sound of rustling as she slides off the sheep, and the sound of a latch opening as she opens up the chest compartment to get her hearing aids out ]

[boomgoesthebirdy]

Hmm? Sure, I can wait.

[ And indeed he does, his brow furrowing as he tries to puzzle out what the sounds mean. ]

[pyromagiac]

[ plugging in her earrrsssss andddd ]

There! Sorry—I forgot I took my hearing aids out already. Uhm, could you repeat what you said again?

[boomgoesthebirdy]

Oh! Are you deaf? Sorry about that! I asked what your name is.

[pyromagiac]

Oh no, it was my mistake! I thought I'd gotten better at lip-reading, but I've still got a ways to go. . .

I'm Felicity! It's nice to meet you.

[boomgoesthebirdy]

That sounds really hard, especially with words that sound the same. I'm impressed you managed as long as you did.

[ He smiles. ]

Anyway, it's nice to meet you too Felicity! I've decided I'm gonna call myself Tenacity.

[pyromagiac]

Tenacity?

[pyromagiac]

Wow! That's a great name!

It's nice to meet you, Mister Tenacity! If you need any help, just let me know! Albert and I are happy to help you!

[boomgoesthebirdy]

Thanks! I kinda like it myself. I don't think I've met "Albert" yet, but I appreciate the offer for help. I'll let you know if I need anything.

[ He drums his fingers along the side of the chair, considering. ]

That compendium you mentioned.... I don't suppose you've got a copy in braille? Or with a text-to-speech function?
