[You suddenly find yourself in a city.

It's a pretty modern city, but it's quite dark. Street lights seem relatively rare, with the environment only lit up by the dim lights of shops and bars, or the bright lights coming from the windows of the incredibly tall buildings which seem to reach out for the sky.

You have two options.

One is some stupid cat boy walking on a high wall, and he leaps down to grab a tree branch to get to ground level.. and slips, and smashes his face into the tree, and flips over and lands backwards on the ground. And rolls around a little wailing stupidly. He then.. very audibly adjusts a broken nose, and sits up....oddly, he seems completely fine, even after his nose apparently breaking?

Two is.

Well.

You might see a shadow up on a ledge, fidding with it's glove.

You can either break their concentration and probably fuck them up, or see what happens.]

SCREECH.]

[ bro it's just fuckin with u calm the actual f down ]

[ also this cute person is skipping to the ledge ]

Ahh~! There you are, you can't just disappear like that. . . eh? What's that you have there?

[totallyclawsome]

[IT'S A GIANT BIRDHORSE.]

A person.

[withabandon]

[ A CUTE HIPPOGRIFF THOUGH ]

Oho~ So it is. Hello, person! It looks like you've made a friend, huh?

[totallyclawsome]

Is that what this is.

Isn't this how hawks pick up mice.

[withabandon]

But you're not a mouse, right? You're a cat. Ah, not that that will stop him~

[totallyclawsome]

See, my point remains!

[withabandon]

Aww, you don't have to worry about that! He's really very friendly. He just wants to play!

[totallyclawsome]

Large animals kill small animals they're playing with all the time.

[withabandon]

Ordinary large animals, perhaps, but the noble steed of the great hero Astolfo would never do such a thing! Squirrels and chipmunks and cats alike may all rest easy in the beak of Astolfo's hippogriff!

[ PROUD HIPPOGRIFF SNORT. it doesn't seem intent on eating you at least. not that it's letting go, either. ]

[totallyclawsome]

Can I get down, then.

Please.

Pretty please.

[I'M VERY ANXIOUS.]

[withabandon]

[ THE HIPPOGRIFF COMPLIES with another snort, carefully moving the trashcat away from the ledge before setting him down - gently. ]

See? No harm done~

[totallyclawsome]

I guess not.

[I lost ten years of my life.]

Why is there a hippogr...a hippogr.. a bird horse.

[withabandon]

Why else? For the hippogriff is the steed and companion of I, Astolfo, the Twelfth Paladin of Charlemagne! Wherever Astolfo goes, so shall he! Truly, he is the most noble and loyal of companions!

[ pets his beak 'w' ]

[totallyclawsome]

...

...

I know most of those words but that sentence went over my head.

[withabandon]

What's not to get? He is my noble steed, my lifelong friend, my companion! He is here because I am here, I shall never go anywhere without him!

[totallyclawsome]

I was talking more about the.. Charlemange Paladin bit.

[withabandon]

Ah, that? Well, without glossing over the details, it means I am a hero!

[ astolfo u just glossed over like. every detail ]

[totallyclawsome]

....

Okay.

[Don't arrest me.]

[withabandon]

[ laughs ]

A real hero! Not the sort you're thinking of. I am one, you know? For my friends, for anyone who needs help, and for France, I shall lend my aid!

[withabandon]

. . . So, will you tell me? Why you were standing on the edge of such a high place?

[totallyclawsome]

...I was getting air.

And nothing else.

[withabandon]

. . . air?

[totallyclawsome]

Air.
