[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?

[thebreakingwave]

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. ]

[parlous]

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

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]

Doorknobs, for one.

[bird_brain]

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

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

Nope. Still doesn't make sense.]

What?

[Voice]

[bird_brain]

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

[thebreakingwave]

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

[ 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?

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

Do you eat people, Mister Aubri?

Which Court are you aligned with?

Bit of strange place to get used to, I've been thinking.

I just arrived here a few days ago, myself.

voice.

[bird_brain]

Such a thing causes quite a stir.

[bird_brain]

[Magic, Aubri knows. A broom is a strange tool, but to each their own.]

There is nothing quite like it.

Re: [Voice]

[bird_brain]

I find myself agreeing with you.

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

[bird_brain]

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

Re: [Voice]

Is your world much like this?

Re: [Voice]

[bird_brain]

I haven't seen enough to tell you that. But, from what I can see, it has some similarities.

[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.

Tought? Surely you have a very sharp beak.

[caditquaestio]

[ ...look at those wings. ]

Do you seek service?

[lightbranded]

What sort of similarities? I've looked around a bit, but it doesn't seem like this is much like my world at all.

Only thing I care about, so I'd say you've covered just about everything.

I'm Steve.
