[For a moment, Aubri stares at the locket. His ear tufts are up, his head cocked slightly to the side. When he speaks, his accent is obvious, with rolling consonants and hissed sibilants.]

My name is Aubri. Yes, I am a gryphon. [Because seriously everyone's asking.]

No, I do not breathe fire. Yes, I can fly. I prefer to fly. Yes, I know what humans are. No, I am not the one of my kind, though I may be in this world. Yes, I can speak. [Obviously.] And, finally, yes, the talons -- [he holds them up and, yep, pretty wicked looking] -- do make certain things difficult.

[Pause] Did I miss anything?

[ is this the real life? roxy has to gape at the feed for a good few minutes before she can even process what's happening (why anything surprises her at this point is up for debate, but truthfully roxy hopes she never stops being surprised). but when she's finally got her wits about her, she figures she might as well say something. ]

What sorta stuff's difficult?

[bird_brain]

Doorknobs, for one.

[gnostalgia]

[ okay YEAH she should've guess that, but it never hurts to ask! ]

Can'tcha use a window? Or just, y'know, barrel right on through that sucker?

It's a pleasure to meet you, Aubri. I'm Harry, from Britain, and I love flying as well.

[ He seems entirely nonplussed by the whole 'talking gryphon' thing. ]

[bird_brain]

You fly? [Nonplussed is good. He likes nonplussed.]

[thebreakingwave]

I do! I use a broom and magic, but it gets me up in the air just the same.

Is it time already? I did not think we would be visiting the Mock Turtle so soon.

Re: video.

[bird_brain]

[He mulls that over for a moment, replaying it in his mind a time or two.

Nope. Still doesn't make sense.]

What?

[parlous]

Clearly no one here appreciates good literature.

A pity.

Pleasure to meet you, Aubri. [Will didn't sound particularly surprised at suddenly finding himself speaking to a gryphon. He'd never met one before, but Will had long ago ceased to be surprised at the marvelous creatures he sometimes had reason to meet.]

I am Will Stanton. Are you new to this place as well?

[Voice]

[bird_brain]

Will Stanton. [An acknowledgement and a greeting.] I am new.

[Miss anything? Why yes, Xellos has a question.]

Do you eat people, Mister Aubri?

[bird_brain]

[Deadpan:] I find the meat to be too tough for my tastes.

Which Court are you aligned with?

[bird_brain]

Seelie, though I do not count myself an enemy of those I have never met.

[ringbeast]

Hey buddy! Hope you're gettin' settled in all right! Like I said, let me know if you need anything and I'll do what I can to help you out.

And hey, we can fly around together, too.

[bird_brain]

You fly?

[caditquaestio]

[ ...look at those wings. ]

Do you seek service?

[bird_brain]

Not yet. I may, in the future. Why?

[gardienne]

[Eponine is just staring, open-mouthed, right back.]

Do... do I dream that a bird talks at me?

[bird_brain]

No, you do not.

[ Maglor has just been staring, because seriously what in Arda are you but it would be rude when said question has been answered, so... ]

I think you covered everything of note ... Master(???) Aubri.

[bird_brain]

Perhaps I'm violent. [No, but he's certainly a little weary of it.] Perhaps my taste runs toward human flesh.

[ Well. WELP. Now he's seen everything. ]

I'm getting the impression you've been asked that a lot.

[ Seriously, though, this is kind of cool. ]

voice;

[bird_brain]

Nearly everyone I have spoken to has asked.
