[After spending a good deal of the previous day and night heavily drinking, waking up to the sound of someone screaming was not what ne had expected so early in the morning.

Coming face to face with an animal instead of the suspected human should have been a sign ne'd had more to drink than ne thought in the first place. And wait...wasn't someone missing? Oh well.

That the animal spoke? Yeah, never mind this was just getting to be typical wasn't it? ]

[Hatter turns on the device so the City is offered a shot of the annoying thing.]

It's about time you woke up. You truly are worthless. There are better things to do than lay around all day unless you wish to take the Lord and Lady's place instead?

[Instead of responding to the bird, ne looks to the device.]

Still? Should One be happy it's only this day instead of both?

...My God it speaks.

Private

[indecent_butterfly]

I could say the same for you.

[That's who was missing.]

It appears so. And quite loudly.

Private

[worldofourown]

Is it the City's idea of a pet?

[ Alas. He got spirited off to Phantomhive manor. And handcuffed to Solomon. Damn weekends. ]

Private

[indecent_butterfly]

Daemon. Soul. Spirit. As if I would be anything so mundane as to be a pet to any.

A part of this One it is. So apparently not.

[Nothing says family time like bondage.]

Private

[worldofourown]

Quite the attitude. [ Well, this is the Satan of Pride. ] Would harm befall you if you accidentally killed it?

[ He's positive he'd strangle his own. ]

[Do you know how hard it is to change records on a phonograph with no hands? Crowley's feeling testy.]

This really is one of those weekends.

Cursed again are we?

[Ne just suffered other's curses yesterday.]

Not even a proper turn.

It's not that there's anything wrong with being a snake, but if I were a bit larger, your... companion would look tasty. Do you think the feathers would get stuck in my throat?

Video

[indecent_butterfly]

And if you were a little smaller, I'd say the same. Though there'd be no problem going down.

One likes the feathers where they are. [Ne reaches down to pet the bird promising it that's where they will stay as well.]

[itsjustafruit]

If I were the type, I'd have a comment about the ease of going down, but I'm better than that.

[Besides, the thought of eating Hatter's soul? Shudder.]

[valentineluke]

Interesting. For a bird, I would have guessed something from the corvid family.

[indecent_butterfly]

I am appropriate no matter what you would think.

[The bird gets a soft pat on the beak. Pride or not, manners.]

Odd enough to see at all.

[valentineluke]

No offense intended. What is your name, peacock.

Not at all. I've experienced this one quite happily numerous times. Whenever Celeste reappears, I'll definitely introduce her to you both.

[indecent_butterfly]

Hmm so you would say. Behellagh.

And what manner of creature is she?

[valentineluke]

A pleasure to meet you, Behellagh.

She's a orchid mantis - white in color and far larger than her common tropical kin.

[dignity_misery]

I hate this curse.

[indecent_butterfly]

Hmm. And not all?

[Bird has a point, most of them suck.]

You've been hit by this as well?

[dignity_misery]

Mine was a barbet.

[ Also a pretty bird, but Carla's tends to appear a little worse for wear. ]

Some curses are less irritating than others.

[indecent_butterfly]

More fun when happening to others.

[The peacock sits at nir feet, preening its feathers.]

So down. Cursed also or dealing with others?

[Sorry Carla ne was distracted with Karl. And then there was alcohol. Once ne finds out about Alexiel's curse there's going to be another bottle or three.]

[dignity_misery]

I'm fine.

[Which is a lie when it comes out of her mouth 10/10 times.]

I got one of the less irritating ones.

[godoftricks]

A friend of yours?

[indecent_butterfly]

Friend? We are two parts of a whole. None are closer.

What he said One does believe. A manifestation of the soul in animal form.

[godoftricks]

And it chose a peacock. That is rather telling, I think. Your curse is well made. Which part has formed the animal - a desire? A conscience?

[indecent_butterfly]

[He's just going to show off, tail flashing full.]

Pride.

[Because that is just going to explain everything.]

The mark of One's sin.

[godoftricks]

Ah, of course. A particular favourite of mine. No wonder its guise is so ostentatious. [ Because he's certainly one to talk about that. ]

But I wouldn't call it a sin. An inconvenience, perhaps.
