Cubefall

Where there was a man, there is now an eagle. Majestic, proud, flying into the rafters and back, ready to fly outside.

He wonders if he should see if anyone else can fly. Or he should just go soaring.

Meanwhile, another little bird has been flitting around lower down in the bar. Upon spotting the other, though, he flies up higher with a chirp.

He lands on the rafter nearby, whistles up at the eagle, and then hops a little closer. Apparently he isn't at all concerned by the fact that just one of those talons is about as large as his entire body now.

"I know you won't," the Balladeer replies breezily, sounding rather unconcerned about his own potential demise. "We are still inside the bar - though y'know, that would be a very ironic way to die." Swallowed whole by the bird of America. Now wouldn't that make everyone back home laugh?

"You look very patriotic."

"I am!" He replies, pleased. "No time period in particular, I travel around a bit. And you?"

"Never heard of Hub City - but I do stay more on the Eastern seaboard. DC, especially."

The Balladeer, meanwhile, occupies himself by flitting between several rafters, occasionally stopping to peer down at the Bar and its current occupants. "But we may not even be from the same U.S. I haven't made it past the 1980s yet, either. With any luck, I won't."

"I'd love to see it! But if I get a window into a new point in time, it means something bad's happened." Unconsciously, the little bird's feathers puff up a little. "I got into 1981 because Reagan was shot. That's actually one of my better years, nobody died that time."

"President-elect seems to be about as far as it goes. FDR, 1933." That one hadn't ended quite so fortunately as 1981, at least not for the poor mayor. The Balladeer hasn't been spending much time there lately; he pushed it too far last visit, and as much as he tends to be at odds with the assassins, he isn't really a fan of watching executions. "Why?"

"Was he now..."

Thoughtfully, he preens a few out-of-place feathers before continuing. "I don't see everything at once. Maybe it just hasn't gotten through yet. What was her name?" It had been a fair while since Hinckley showed up...if something was going to happen, it seemed like it might just happen soon.

There's a rather large panther slinking between the chairs. She looks up at the eagle and purrs. This is just as fun as she expected. Now, to get the door open...

Minx chuckles; a warm, grumbling sound from a big cat. "Hardly Charlie." Minx's voice is clear and happy. "I suspect you have the advantage of wings anyway. I'm pretty sure panthers can climb but I doubt I could get to you if I tried."

"Thanks! It feels fantastic." She stretches her long body and bounds up onto a table to meet him. "But I keep having to rein in the urge to chase the rats."

"You look pretty slick yourself." She purrs, leaning forward to sniff him carefully. "I though the American way was the other guy's gig?"

Minx drops down to her stomach to present less of a threat although she can feel her muscles coiled to jump. "You've flown before?"

"You went with that both times? Must have been good even if it was strange. Honestly, I barely looked at the other options. As soon as I saw this, I just had to."

She laughs warmly and grooms her ears. "I know what you mean. I looked at the male option but he looked like a basketball player. I know I'm tall normally but that's just ridiculous."
