The Duke is no longer himself, Blind Marge shared some details about the beginning of the curse and the Spanish guy left taking Neri and Icarus with him. They're in a better place now. Not dead though! Haha.

Found all your stuff already? If not you better act quick because most of the townsfolk are leaving, they've been stuck here for a long while and some have their real family waiting for them. They'll take whatever they can with them as they go so there's looting and chaos all around the usually so peaceful town.

It also seems that the destruction of the apple trees set off the crows. They're making a horrible noise as they fly over your heads and kaw loudly. More birds seem to arrive to the scene every minute. It's almost like you're stuck in a Hitchcock movie. Time to go?

[ mission: look for hook. i mean the map. ]

[ smiles a little at him (mostly fake smile really) and lets out a little hollow laugh ]

Nobody's stopping you from staying. We could start a business and everything. [ nope ]

[cabineyes]

A brilliant plan, but I'm afraid I don't make a good merchant.

[ you saw it yourself. ]

[crotchbite]

Who said anything about selling shit?

[ more along the lines of mercenaries ok

stands up and leans next to him, watching the map again. she's a little worried to be honest; as much as she really does like bo she doesn't want her to stay stuck in here. and okay she has grown fond of some of these people it's been a While since that happened ]

We need to talk to everyone about this.

[cabineyes]

I suppose there is no other choice. They will be undoubtedly thrilled.

[ can't wait to see the looks on their faces. ]

[ladybirdbook]

[ suddenly there's a noise of glass shattering as one of the crows circling the church flies through a window. it falls dead on one of the pews. ]

[crotchbite]

Yeah, that's the wo--

[ dramatic interruption of a crow apparently. jumps in surprise and turns around to watch the bird ]

... Well, that's fucking normal.

[cabineyes]

[ oh wow. ]

They're becoming more aggressive.

[crotchbite]

[ what the hell is this some medieval twist of a hitchcock film or whatever ]

As long as they keep committing suicide, we're good to go. [ walks over to the where the bird landed carefully, leaning over it ] There's like, a murder of these things outside.

[ladybirdbook]

[ it was only the beginning. ]

[ you can hear the distant sound of several wings flapping simultaneously as every crow from the town heads to the church. ]

[cabineyes]

[ listens to the ominous sound approaching. ]

I'd say there are more than that...

[crotchbite]

[ looks out the pretty windows of the church to see a dark mass of black wings heading towards them. stays still for a second before backing up with eyes on the windows ]

Are you shitting me... [ pulls the winchester from her shoulder and loads it just in case ] Seen the movie, didn't like it. [ looks over to hook and tilts her head to the exit in the back ]

Just in case this is, you know, a bunch of blood thirsty birds, lets go around the back.

[cabineyes]

[ don't worry, he's already on his way. always cover your exits. shoves the map inside his coat as he backs away. ]

Bloodthirsty? What makes you think that? Somehow I didn't get that impression at all!

[ he has a feeling they'll fucking peck their eyes off. ]

[ladybirdbook]

[ all sunlight disappears from the church as the windows are covered by dark wings. some birds enter the building through the broken window and others peck on the glass aggressively. ]

[crotchbite]

Is everyone out to kill us in this fucking place? [ chriST

she's backing away with the winchester aimed at you, bird. i hate you bird.

once he gets the door, she's going to make a run for it and close it ]

[cabineyes]

Wasn't that always the case?

[ opens the door and slides out after making sure there's no crazy murder waiting for them. u coming? ]

[crotchbite]

[ tilts her head like [yep] ]

We're supposed to meet at the town hall. Let's hurry up before we turn into Tippi Hedren. [ come on move that hairy irish ass ]

[cabineyes]

And pray tell, what is that?

[ it sounds like pudding. running like hell. ]

[crotchbite]

Nothing, don't worry about it. [ ah ] Unless you do end up as bird food. Then you might want to worry.

[ looking over her shoulder as they run towards the town hall

up ahead let's say nick and the doctor and daniel have managed to get some horses and a wagon pulled by oxen how awesome is that yaay ]

[armedarchaeologist]

[convenient escapewagon! top speeds of up to 5 mph! very frazzled driver!]

[wolfsoul]

[ oh there he is. ]

[ being chased by evil birds. maybe it's not the best time to ask for a quick library visit. ]

[dices]

Get inside the town hall! Come on!

[ pushing away the birds with his mindpowers, trying to create a force field for protection ]

Hurry!

[armedarchaeologist]

[dramatic incompetent oxen cart driving.]

[cabineyes]

[ ducks as the crazy birds attack the back of his neck. the crows attack the students scene from the birds. with less yelling. ]

[crotchbite]

[ bats a bird away with the shotgun and grabs hook's coat, helping him along to run towards the town hall while nick does his crazy mind thing ]

[wolfsoul]

[ he's going to follow their example and run to the town hall. pls don't close the doors in front of him. ]
