I getting at bird-pones aren't sexy enough.
I may be starting to like them, but I still like browser pones better.

>>27763380
They're not extremely sexy but they are cute
They hold a special place in my heart because these were some the first threads I saw when I first came to this board

>>27763333
N-no, these bird horses coo and pester you for bread and stuff.
Totally different and necessary.

It seemed rhetorical but I didn't understand what it could be implying

This seemed like so much fun and had so much potential, then it became a general and went to shit

>>27763223

I didn't even know pigeon-ponies was a thing. if it's not, it should be.

>>27763672
It was a thing up until about a year ago I don't really know what happened

>>27763223
where's the porn

>>27763223

>You sit and watch the pigeon-ponies gathering around the park, chatting with each other and occasionally mooching off the tourists.
>You reflect on what you know about them.
>Most Equestrians find the nomadic bird-ponies annoying, since they have a reputation as lazy thieves.
>It's not entirely fair since they're willing to work incredibly hard when it's their idea, but they hate to feel obligated and don't like being hemmed in.
>They're incredibly flighty.
>bird ponies "flighty."
>kek
>They're tolerated but don't really take part in Equestrian society beyond their devotion to the Princesses
>They can cloud-walk but can't manipulate the weather like Pegasi.
>They're claustrophobic and hate being inside of anything with a proper roof, and don't build anything more substantial than an occasional tent for gatherings.
>they're physically almost as frail as moth pones and lack the physical stamina of earth pones or even unicorns, yet can still fly vast distances.
>they have a strange form of magic involving feather charms and music that no one really understands except themselves
>They're nomadic, and fly north and south with the seasons.
>You find them oddly fascinating

>>27763813
>One lights on the back of the bench next to you. She coos like the pigeon her coat coloration and markings cause her to resemble
>"Pssst...got any bread crumbs?"
>You snort
That isn't good for you, you know. Do you WANT to get too fat to migrate with your flock?
>You hand Amber Eyes a bag of corn nuts instead. It's still junk food, but it's got to be better than bread and it's lightly salted, and like all ponies, bird ponies are salt fiends.
>She grins. "Hold on a second." She flutters off, and...wait for it...wait for it..
>Yep, there it is, took her a full minute. A snack and soda vendor on the other side of the park is yelling angrily. A little while later, Amber Eyes returns with two sodas, and hands one to you.
>"I got you a Royal Sisters Classic, that OK?"
>You sigh.
You know, if you'd asked, I'd have been willing to pay for a couple of sodas for us.
>She grins. "Well, yeah, but where's the fun in that?" She takes a long sip of hers and starts munching on your offering of corn nuts.
I'll see if I can pay him for the sodas later
>She coos. "Schmuck. Oh well, it's your money. I cleaned his cart last season and he stiffed me when it came time to pay, so I'm just taking my money out in trade. One soda at a time."
>She munches a few corn nuts and hands you the bag, and you take a few for yourself.

>>27763972

>Bird-ponies do have a reputation for being thieves, and as you've just seen, that IS somewhat deserved.
>They've always lived on the edge of pony society and don't seem to have quite the same regard for "personal space" and "private property" that other ponies do
>they almost never carry more personal belongings than what will fit in a single small bag
>property is traded freely around the flock and anything too unwieldy to carry gets left behind, usually where someone else can make use of it.
>local constables tolerate them because their crimes are usually limited to minor pickpocketing and petty theft, often food items, but they're often valuable sources of information
>they're fairly talented musicians, singers and performers and often busk for a few bits, and they sometimes sell feather charms and small musical instruments or jewelry
>You met Amber Eyes last season, when she returned your wallet, which she had found
>In your pocket. When you weren't looking.
>Some of the money was gone, because she had needed some lunch for herself and her kid sister, but she'd left the rest there
>Bird-ponies rarely steal more than what they need at the moment.
>She'd brought you and Twilight some doughnuts back, even if they were bought with your bits, since she wanted a peace offering and bird-ponies have a sixth-sense for a soft touch.
>It was so weirdly amusing that you actually didn't call for the police.
>Twilight Sparkle had explained to you afterwards what other ponies knew about bird-ponies, and her advice was that you avoid the little thieves.
>You ignored her as you usually do and started hanging around the park where you'd first met the little imp

>>27764223
I'm liking it so far. Please continue?

>>27764223
>>27764223

>Between the two of you, you polish off the entire bag of corn nuts in a few minutes. "I don't suppose you have anymore of those, do you?" she asks hopefully
>Bird-ponies are bottomless pits when it comes to snack foods
Not right at the moment, but you don't need any--you just ate like a pound of parched corn and you're smaller than me.
>She scowls. "Hey, it takes a lot of energy being this amazing. Besides, I'm gonna need to pack on some more fat before fall migration."
Looks like you're ahead of schedule, then, since if you keep going like you are they'll be rolling you to Zebrica in a wheelbarrow
>You reach out and playfully pinch a bit of her flank while humming an old commercial jingle about pinching an inch, and she caws in surprise and swats at your hand.
You boop her nose playfully and both of you laugh. "You know, you're almost okay. For a groundpounder, I mean." she says, giggling.
>You know the term doesn't just mean "somepony who walks on the ground" to the bird-ponies.
>they regard the sky itself as their home, and feel as if they have an almost mystical connection to it.
>In their own language they call it the Mother of Clouds and Storms and claim that the sky is actually a bird-pony alicorn that made the world, and then ascended to its zenith with her herd
>Most non-bird-pones regard this as either factually wrong at best or borderline blasphemous at worst.
>"Groundpounders" are beings that, while they might fly sometimes, are connected more to the earth underfoot than the sky above.

>>27764463

And you're not so bad yourself. You know, for a snack-burglaring ratbird.
>She gigglesnorts and pulls a flute out of the small bag around her neck, where itt had been hidden by her mane. "So, got any requests?"
>You do. Absolutely you do.
How about "Twisted Nerve?"
>Before she'd left on migration last fall, the two of you had watched Kill Bill volumes 1 and 2 at your home in Ponyville, along with a bunch of other movies, which you can totally still watch because fuck you, science.
>You'd brought the DVD player and television out to the back porch, where she felt more comfortable
>She'd been enchanted with it, up until the burial scene in the second volume, when she'd actually screamed and hid her face against your chest, and she'd cheered like a Juggalo when Uma Thurman had punched her way out of the coffin.
>Afterward you had given her an extra MP3 player you had lying around and she'd asked for the music from the movies you'd watched.
>You had no idea how it was still powered more than a year later, but the bundles of feathers and sparkling jewels securely strapped to the back of the thing probably had something to do with it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1NN9rnNpEQ

>>27764593
>And now, more than a year later, you could often hear variations of the music you'd squirreled away on her player being performed or sang by musicians, both singly and in little ensembles, in her flock
>It was funny, hearing bird-pone renditions of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida or Stairway to Heaven
>But Twisted Nerve...Amber Eyes had a fascination for the songs of Bernard Herrmann, and that piece in particular many other ponies found oddly haunting, or even creepy and disturbing.
>So how could she NOT like it?
>A few minutes after she begins, a few ponies are standing around, listening to her play it, and you provide a bit of a beat for her by stomping your feet.
>You honestly wonder if she weaves magic into her music, since you've heard some bird-ponies do that and your audience seems oddly entranced.
>Or maybe she's simply that good.
>A few of the listeners throw the two of you bits while she plays, and after a few minutes, the piece ends. A few of the listeners pound their hooves on the sidewalk as she bows, before they disperse. You help her collect her bits.
>"You should keep half of these, since you helped," she says. "I always get more bits when you're around, for some reason."
Nah, you earned it. But hey if you really wanna pay me back, why don't you give a couple of those bits to the vendor you swiped the sodas from?
>She rolls her eyes. "Mother Sky, that really bothered you, didn't it? Fine, I'll toss him a bit. But just for YOUR soda, though. For you. Okay?"
>You smile
Thank you.
>She snorts. "Seriously, though, have you ever considered doing this for a living? You've got good rhythm with just those hand-things and feet of yours. Didn't you say you used to play drums or something back in your world?"
I used to, but I haven't really done anything with it since I arrived here...

>>27764711
>A notion comes to you
Tell you what though...maybe sometime I can dig the drums out of the closet and I can join you out here in Canterlot Park. Maybe we can make a day out of it? I bet we could rook these stuffed shirts out of some major doshage.
>She perks up this. "Okay, NOW you're talking--we'll probably clean up. But you have to keep some of it, you feel me? You HAVE to."
>You know from your time with Amber Eyes that bird pones have an odd sense of obligation. Pilfering something from someone else is fine as long as they can afford to lose it, they'll do that and never bat an eye afterward
>A minor con-job? A scam is fine too, plenty of bird-pones do three card monte and other street hustles for some extra bits.
>But do a solid for one of them, and they'll move heaven and earth to return it.
>They're a study in contradictions
>A favor owed to someone who can't be repaid is like a little piece of hell for them.
>Honestly, you hardly need the money and she knows it--you get a stipend from the Royals to go with the title they ginned up for you, you made a shitload of bits selling the rights to the movies and books that came over from Earth with you and your house, you patented a butane cigarette lighter and the Clapper, among other human inventions--Applejack loved the Clapper, for some reason
>You write science fiction stories for publication--who knew that ponies would be fascinated by a world where magic doesn't exist?
>You even co-wrote a series of comics, because apparently zombies and the Undead are even bigger here than back on Earth
>But Amber Eyes is serious,and wants to make sure you keep whatever you earn.
>Bird-ponies are odd that way, and Angel Eyes is a little odder than most.
Alright, fine. Deal, I'll keep half. Satisfied?

"Absolutely." She pulls the bag back out of her mane and begins rooting through it again.
>"Hold on, I've got something I made for you..well, my sis helped. She's better at this kind of thing than I am..."
>You marvel at hwo such a small bag can have so much crap. Women, amirite?
>DEAD_STARE.jpg
>Right. Moving on...
>She finally finds what she's looking for "Here," she says. She pulls out an...object.
>It looks a little like a dreamcatcher, but made of feathers and wire, and the rim is made of gems.
>it's about two inches wide, and it's attached to a band that clearly is meant to go around a wrist. It's beautiful, and you say so.
>"It's an Az'k'za," she says. 'We wear them to helps us find good weather, or places where we're welcome, or for protection. Or just all-around good luck."
>She pauses for a second. "You can't make one for yourself, it...just doesn't work then. Somepony else has to make one for you, and give it to you as a gift. Somepony who cares about you."
>She grabs your wrist in both of her hooves, and carefully she slips it over your hand and onto your wrist. You feel a slight tingle and feeling of warmth where it touches your skin.
>Most pony magic doesn't work well on you, but you feel oddly...invigorated.
>LEVEL_UP.jpg
>At that moment, you hear a commotion on the other side of the park. A few seconds later, a smaller bird-pony with similar coloration as Amber Eyes darts by you at ludicrous speed, followed a few moments later by several shouting Pegasi constables.
So,. uh...that your sister? Because I think she's gone to plaid...
>"Yep, that's her. I probably should go find out what she's gotten herself into. Whatever it is, I don't wanna be left out, It looks fun!" She looks over her shoulder at you just before takeoff. "You'll be here tomorrow, right?"
Ayup
>She grins "Make sure you bring more of those corn-thingies." She takes to the air and darts away, leaving you there on the bench alone.

>And you. It should probably be mentioned that your eyes turned from their normal green color to the same amber-gold Amber Eyes and her sister share, and they're reflective to boot.
>Twilight is--concerned.
>To be honest, you are too, since you initially wondered if that meant you were turning into some sort of weird bird-pony-human hybvrid-thing, but Twilight seems to have mostly ruled that possibility out.
>Mostly.
>But your night vision seems to have improved like no one's business. Which is nice.
>"I don't really understand it, Anon," she says. "It doesn't appear to be transformative magic, since that leaves a signature I'd recognize, and biologically, you don't seem to be any different. Still basically a bald, neotonous chimp."
Other than having night vision like a hawk and I haven't slept in three days, yet I feel fine, which I'd say is biologically different...
>"Yeah, I'll say." The Princess of Friendship regards the Az'k'za the two bird-ponies had made for you. It's sitting on the table. Taking it off doesn't seem to have had any kind of effect--or reversed the eye-color thing.

>"I'm not saying it was intended to be harmful," says Twilight. "I'm saying that Equestrian magic reacts strangely to you, and bird-pony magic is stranger than most."
"Strange" doesn't mean "dangerous," Sparkle.
>"No, but in this case it COULD. I'm saying that you probably shouldn't put this back on. >"And frankly, you'd probably be better off keeping your distance from them after this--"
Okay, before I let you go on--have you ever actually TALKED to one of them?
>"Yes, I--"
I don't mean a casual "hello," or a few words in the street, but I mean a real conversation. At length. Not forced pleasantries, real, actual conversation?
>"I.. uh, no." She looks distinctly uncomfortable.
>It occurs to you and not for the first time that, for such a brilliant scholar, Twilight Sparkle has to have the least amount of curiosity and the most narrow focus you've ever seen.
Then...how much do you actually know ABOUT them?
>"I've got an entire shelf devoted to them, and I've read everything about them--just like I have every other intelligent race we share a world with." She gestures at the massive pile of reference books on the magic flashy-table...thing.
>You pick one up at random. "Bird Ponies and Other Pests: The Parasites of Equestria." Seriously? Wow. Just...wow.
>"What's to know? Look, they don't build things, they don't farm, they don't have a writing system, they migrate when they overstay their welcome.
>"They steal everything that isn't nailed down and while they might talk a lot, but rarely *say* anything." That seems to finalize it for her.
Yeah? I wouldn't either. I can't believe it, the irony's so thick in here I can cut it with a knife and serve it like bundt cake.

Hey, it's fine, lots of the people I know are, it's cool, why should it surprise me that ponies are, too?
>I..." she looks lost, and just a little angry, and that's going to get a lot hotter. You struck a nerve? Interesting. Let's troll Sperglord a bit.
I don't actually GIVE a shit, mind you, but I just want to make sure you understand where it's coming from. It's cool though, no hard feelings.
>"Get. Out." Her voice is flat. Wow, that DID strike a nerve, didn't it?
>Seriously, though, what's got her so worked up about them? Did a bird pony bad-touch her when she was a kid or what?
>You pick up the Az'k'za and turn around.
Oh, just so you know, I'm working on a project--I'm writing a book about bird ponies, a definitive ethnography, and I'll dedicate it to you.
>"GET OUT!" she actually explodes into flames.

>They have a scent somewhere between beeswax fresh from a hive and something almost floral

>And then you both smell something you haven't smelled much of since you came to Equestria
>cooking meat. Whoah.
>Your stomach growls, and so does Amber Eyes'. Loudly. She looks a little embarrassed.
>"Oh...wow, have you eaten? No, you haven't, we've been talking all day and--wait, do you eat meat?"
Uh...yes, I DO, when I can get it, but that isn't often, since most ponies can't stand the smell of it when it's cooking. I keep some at home and I cook it for myself sometimes. Do you have griffons or other omnivores around here?

>Bird ponies apparently eat meat too. Okay, that's beyond interesting.
>You knew that ponies sometimes ate fish, but it never went beyond that.
>Some pegasi were supposedly trained to eat meat, Twilight had said, but only in an emergency when literally nothing else was available.
>Pegasi need lots of energy. You know you've seen Rainbow pack away the food,

>You both thought it was hilarious
>The proprietor is a birdpone mare with the brightest gold eyes you've ever seen, an ivory mane,coat and face and intricate black markings on her muzzle and wings.

>Amber and the vendor talk for a few seconds in their own language. They converse a bit, and the vendor smile and nods.

Geez, where are you putting it? Wanna slow down so you can taste it?

So, uh...out of curiosity, what exactly am I eating here? Should I even ask?

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooded_pitohui

>It is one of the few known poisonous birds.

> A neurotoxin called homobatrachotoxin, found in the birds' skin and feathers, causes numbness and tingling in those touching the bird

>The hooded pitohui may acquire its poison from part of its diet, the Choresine beetles of the Melyridae family. These beetles are also a likely source of the lethal batrachotoxins found in Colombia's poison dart frogs.

Wow.
I actually had no idea that something like poisonous bird existed, although that makes sense, given that it eats.
But that it makes it also poison by touch? Kinda insane, given that its something acquired by diet and not born with trait.
Does it shit and piss poison too?
Would it stop being poisonous after removing those bugs from its diet for a few years?
I kinda want to know.

4chan - teaching you shit you didnt know in extraordinary ways.

>>27783763
Are those harpy-pones?

>>27784133

I honestly don't know--I just know they were cute lil' buggers and this seemed to be the thread for 'em. I can post bird pone pics if nothing else.

>>27784126

I actually don't know that, either--just that handling them is a really, really bad thing and the locals only eat them if you're absolutely desperate and after basically skinning it out and charring the bird to destroy the toxic alkaloids. They're basically like feathered poison arrow frogs and they get the poison the same way the frogs do--by eating poison beetles.

They sell poison arrow frogs which aren't exactly poison anymore, so I figure it would work the same with pitohuis.

We live in a world with actual poison dinosaurs. It's pretty amazing :)

>>27808706
Right, a subcategory of pegasi that takes specific feather patterns and behaviours from respective species of birds. Then, as a content creator, you could easily come up with more traits to separate them from 'regular' pegasi like egg-laying and tail feathers.

From an extradiegetic point of view, they're all pegasi designed around the theme of "Birds", which means they can be put into their own thematic category of ponies and be discussed. You could easily come up with more thematic categories, like "pegasi with yellow coats", "elemental unicorns", "furniture earth ponies", etc.

Did you mean: griffons?

>>27810970
So, any of you guys have any ideas for a name for this one?

My best ideas do far have been 'Helia' (meaning 'sun', as in 'sunflower seed') and 'Pree'/'Bree'.

>>27816218
Well, some people have thought of birdpones as the results of crossing griffons and pones.
In that regard, it's essentially taking the small amount of appealing qualities that griffons have and transferring them over to cuter and overall superior pegasi anatomy.

>>27806920
Wait, did you make those for one of the first bird threads? And if so, has it really been that long since then?

>Quickly, you empty the purse.
>You see several hundred-bit rounds, and a whole slew of ten-round coins, as well as some jewels and assorted other things.
>Quickly, you count them up, and come up with around 436 bits, not counting the coins. NICE.
>You actually find yourself feeling a bit bad for this, and you have to fight the momentary impulse to try to return it at least some of it.
>The Folk rarely take more than what they need, and this is plainly more than what you need..
>But Noontide's Blessing tells you that she's not likely to be so forgiving as Anon was, bless him, and what's done is done, as they say.
>You'll be keeping it. But, if there's anything else in here, any precious mementos or whatever, you'll at least leave it somewhere where it's likely to be found and returned.
>You begin looking through the rest of the stuff. You find a cloisonne pin, a tiny sunburst burst made of gold unicorn horns, and instantly recognize the symbol.
>Oh. Your lip involuntarily curls into a grimace of disgust.
>The symbol of the League of Purity Party
>Miss Gossip was a unicorn supremacist. They were, unfortunately, relatively common in Canterlot
>You remember some of your OWN run-ins with them, and Anon has told you of his. Of how, early on after his arrival in Equestria, the League had actually protested and filed petitions to attempt to stop the Princess from granting him a title, even a symbolic one
>It hadn't worked, since the LoPPers were generally held in roughly the same regard as a rabid rat, and for exactly the same reason.
>You wondered how they managed to square the fact that the Alicorn Princesses weren't unicorns with the ideals of their party. Some of them worshiped her as a goddess, even though the Princesses apparently regarded them as sleaze.
>Yeah. You'll be keeping all of this, and you're going to use whatever you don't blow on your family and snacks to do something fun for Anon.

>"Naughty naughty. It's not polite to take another's hard-earned money, you know."
>You turn around to see a unicorn stallion in black armor standing behind you. With a pop of displacing air, five more appear next to you on the roof in a semicircle, each levitating a crossbow in their magical grip.
>Their horns glow, and four hulking hulking earth ponies pop into existence, and three bat ponies in black come up from the edge of the roof.
>All of them are armed, and their weapons are aimed straight at you.
>But most terrifying of all, the leader is wearing a Thaumic Amplifier ring on his horn. You can FEEL the pulse of energy as he readies a spell for casting.
>"If you're wise, thief, you'll come quietly. I'm sure that our mistress would like to have a word with the...pony who stole her belongings," said the leader.
>"And if you come quietly, you might even survive the experience. Minus your pretty wings, of course.' You look closely, and see that the armor he wears is actually made of...feathers. Hardened, treated feathers.
>Bird-pony wings and tails.
>Shit. Shit shit shit shit. Think fast, ratbird, as Anon would say.
>"LOOK! IT'S MARELY'S COMET!" you scream, pointing at the sky behind them.

>"I thought that only came around once every 70 years or something," mutters one of the bat ponies.
>"How do you know that?" says one of the others.
>"I read a lot. I got a library card a couple weeks ago, I've been doing some personal enrichment, you know? Thought I might take some night classes..."
>"Oh yeah" says the third. "I was kinda thinking about doing that too--"
>While you're standing there in shock, the leader facehoofs. 'MORONS! SHE TRICKED...wait, no, that's NOT even a trick! It's like the exact opposite of t5a trick--"
>You throw the empty purse at his head, snatch a couple of random coins from the pile, and throw yourself backwards off the roof, righting yourself in mid-air.
>Startled, the lead unicorn accidentally fires off the spell he had readied
>BOOOOOOOM. You feel the concussive force pass you...barely.
>A tree a few yards in front of you explodes into blazing splinters and ashes, and screams sound as ponies in the street are scattered.
>You manage to catch yourself, and jink to the left just as another one of the arcane blasts blows past you.
>The roof of an apartment building explodes. "CHECK FIRE! CHECK FIRE, DAMMIT!!" you hear the leader screaming from somewhere behind you.

>>27816848

>Your wings are a blurr as you fight to put distance between you and the armed party behind you. You turn down an alleyway.
>instinct, or divine providence, or luck is on your side. Perhaps the Mother of Clouds and Storms gave you Her blessing
>But you have a sudden impulse to jink right.
>And you do, barely avoiding the black javelin, which buries itself in the cobblestone street in front of you, crackling with arcs of power.
>The bat pony who threw it snarls and readies another one, but before she can throw it, you fly directly into her face, and your forehoof hoof smashes into her jaw in a bone-shattering punch.
>The force of your momentum smashes her into the wall, and you scream in agony as you feel the hollow bones of your foreleg crack even as she hits the ground, unconscious.
>SHITSHITSHITSHIT!
>pain raves up your leg and into your shoulder. You struggle to stay in the air, struggle to maintain speed and heading
>There's a flash, and one of the unicorn blasters is in front of you, horn glowing. You drunkenly dodge another of the magical bolts, and you hear a scream directly behind you get cut off.
>You realize with one tiny corner of your mind that one of the unicorns had just died, blasted into ash by his partner. You switch course for straight up, wings straining against thin Canterlot air, and yelp as a javelin cuts across your back.
>Panicking, in mortal agony, one thought races frantically through your mind.
>Anon. Anon.

>>27816763
Which one, kek

Background in terms of a story, no.
Personalitywise, my thoughts are: She's a small girl, and because of her size she tend to be on the more careful side. She knows she's easily overpowered.
She's yet another bread lover, but she does prefer seeds, nuts, and grains. She might approach a stranger for food, but wouldn't be as persistent as others. She'd probably fly off at any sign that the stranger would be annoyed with her. Also, sparrows are commonly associated with the vulgar and the lewd; while her trust is difficult to gain, she's a really kinky girl in bed once you're there :^)

>Be Anon.
>You were supposed to meet Amber Eyes at the marketplace almost fifteen minutes ago.
>She's a bit late, but that's not anything particularly noteworthy--bird-ponies apparently have different ideas of time and punctuality than other ponies do.
>Although, truth to tell, you're not sure if this is not more of a trait of Amber Eyes specifically.
>So you sit at an outdoor cafe, sipping a soda--a Darnell's Sunset Twist, which is apparently flavored with actual, honest-to-god CARROTS. Well, carrots and ginger and a bit of lemon.
>And, wonder of wonders, it's actually pretty good, far better than you'd have believed only a few years ago. It's fizzy, sharp and fruity, and with with the perfect amount of bite from the ginger.
>Ponies are absolutely fuck nuts for their beverages.
>If it grew or didn't move fast enough to get out of the way, some brave pony somewhere had thought, "Can I make this into a drink, and/or get drunk or stoned off of it?"
>there were over 5600 known varieties of beverages just in Equestria alone, and yes, mascarpone cheese made a surprisingly nifty smoothie. But cabbage really didn't, even if it was blended with oats. Much less hay.
>Don't even mention Corn Nog, which was a reality here. No. Just...no.
>You check your cell phone/high-tech brick, and see that she's even later than usual. >Somewhere in the back of your mind, you feel a strange tickle of concern, which has been growing for the last several minutes..
>Your back itches, and so does your right arm, under the Az'k'za Amber had given you a few weeks ago.
>Absently, you scratch them, but the itch doesn't abate.
>If anything, it grows stronger, and is joined by a burning ache. And why do you feel so...alarmed?
