[chromosomes]

[ Having left Redgate on horseback with a promise to return when he can, John hadn't really had a plan. The war has become a hard thing to swallow, having seen the devastation the dragon had more or less accidentally done to the village. He'd given the funds Kaldur had sent to Alyosha, presented in front of all as a donation to help with restorations, and he hopes it helps. More than that, he hopes that being away from there makes it a bit safer.

If nothing else, the birds seem to have followed him, chirping and squawking all the way along the road to Daonna's fairy ring. His horse hadn't been particularly pleased about it, and it isn't too pleased now, either, in the camp John's made for the night. He's in the wilderness, close to the edge of Loch Noa, and it's sunset -- John isn't particularly sure whether or not he wants to see if the stories about a ghost girl and her dog are true, but he had to stop somewhere.

There are long strands of fur left on his shirt and he plucks them off. They appear white, but are actually transparent -- polar bear fur. A hint of blue can, likewise, be seen behind him. He's been collecting feathers, and using them. ]

Anyone else looking for the feather thief? If you're in the area, my camp's open.

[ over the course of the next few days, john gets a couple videos. one is a black cat with a cute little red scarf wrestling with doll. another is the same cat holding a... dead... bird... in its mouth and... looking smug. another the cat is sleeping in a pile with pabu, paws delicately tucked under it. the last is the mako-cat lying on his back and batting at bolin's fingers as the earthbender teases him. etc. ]

[ WHAT A CUTIE

Not, of course, that John is saying that outloud. Just thinking it. ]

How does Doll feel about that change?

Fine as one can be in Faerie land, pulled away from home and everyone that means something to you.

Everyone?

Are you hurt?

Feather thief?

[ Sif is a little out of the loop, you'll have to excuse her. ]

Apparently the King of Birds died and someone stole his magic feathers. Notice all the birds acting strange a few days ago?

[ Strange, obnoxious, same thing. ]

[scramasax]

[Some lad's looking a bit worn-out. Also in the wilderness. He's talking with a bit of stumbling haste, particularly soft to compensate in politeness for tiredness making him a bit less conscientious.]

Not the thief. No -- not - not precisely, so far. [He shakes his head.] If, er -- I may ask, where is your camp -- in what... What area?

-- I'm near the Eithne. I think...

[chromosomes]

Along the north shore of Loch Noa.

[ A pause. ]

I can wait around, if you're heading this way.

[bullhorned]

There ain't a lot of use hunting feathers when you're on a boat. [Not that he hadn't found a few all the same...] I didn't figure there would be any as far out as we are.

[chromosomes]

Arya said she was with you.

Well, they're light -- could be the wind picked them up.

video; krewlock

[bolincredible]

Yeah, as far as I know! Just kind of doing some stuff at the Station. No second waves of assassins or anything. [ it's so good to hear from u bro. still alive, a triumph. ]

video; krewlock

[chromosomes]

Yeah, none here either. I heard your brother's been turning into a cat.

[waterbearer]

Undesirably stationary, but otherwise fine. I almost wish I could gather some of these feathers to inspect them myself. At least the hawks have stopped looming over my tub.

[ That was really uncomfortable and unsettling. He looks and feels waaay too much like fried fish to want raptors hanging over his head. KALDUR IS BORED JOHNDAD, BE ENTERTAINING ]

Is there anything I can possibly do from here to assist you?

locked thing

[chromosomes]

[ trying really hard not to laugh ]

I imagine that was... a little worrying.

[ he's at least mostly successful ]

Healing up would be good.

voice

[masterofmystery]

Do you think there's even any chance in finding 'em?

voice

[chromosomes]

There's always a chance. I'm okay at tracking, and since one of the feathers keeps turning me into a polar bear, I might be able to sniff things out.

voice. private.

[orcsurfing]

I am well, but for troubling thoughts of the terrible future that awaits.

[ A beat, then a question he must ask, a long pause here. It's something he's been mulling over ever since leaving the Aellyn territory. It was a failure, yet at the same time a lesson if of a bitter sort. ]

John, do you still serve the Seelie?

voice. private.

[chromosomes]

Well, that sounds like a depressing conversation.

[ that they are totally going to have ]

For now. Redgate... well, it's made me question things. But I've got a big Unseelie target on my back.

[pontificus]

How fares your search?

voice;

[chromosomes]

Lots of feathers, no thief.
