Rebirth Height 17 - Orb 1

[canistricari]

[ The orb shows white, a small black dot in the center. The dot dances from side to side, then widens. The white shrinks to a circle, first revealing something blue, then something red, until it becomes clear that what you're looking at is an oddly colored animal's eye. ]

Hellooo!

[ Coyote stands back, so that you can see the shape of his head and neck. ]

What have we here! Hello, hello!

[ Say hello guys. It's only polite. ]

[sarcasticbite]

[Nikki wants to say hello. She really does, but all she's registering is that it's an animal talking.]

What kind of costume is that?

[canistricari]

You don't like it? I could be something else... [ He grins madly, and starts to stretch. ]

Do you like snakes?

[sarcasticbite]

Snakes are fine, and that is one cool trick you're doing.

Seriously, where'd you get that costume? I'd have loads of fun scaring people with it.

[canistricari]

[ He cackles. ]

I was born with it! Do you want to see me juggle my eyes?

[sarcasticbite]

Born with it? Who were your parents then? How did you turn out to be an animal?

[She raises one of her eyebrows. But then shakes her head.]

No, no it's fine. I'd rather not see it.

[canistricari]

Hahahahahaha! Oh well, oh well!

I decided that I like it! Coyotes are such marvelous creatures, don't you think?

[sarcasticbite]

They are, I guess.

So, can you become anything else?

[She's still in slight shock.]

[sorcerous]

And what name is it you give yourself?

[ Loki is perceptive enough to sense kin, of a kind. To feel distant power, like electricity in the air. ]

[canistricari]

[ Oh Silver-Tongue, so clever. ]

You may call me Coyote.

[sorcerous]

Coyote, then.

Travel you here by will, or do you go where the wind blows you?

[canistricari]

With the wind, of course! Although I must admit, it was a marvelous trick that brought me here! [ He's not bothered. ]

[sorcerous]

Marvelous. Petty, rather, and simpleminded.

[canistricari]

Ah, but it worked! And that's the crux of any trick.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Hi! [Puppy is curious] Not look human but talk human?

[canistricari]

[ He twists his head around before looking at the boy through the orb. Not because he needs to. Just because he thinks it would be fun. He was right! ]

I speak dog too! Arf arf! [ Translation: HELLO! HELLO! ]

And bird! [ He chirps, the same. ]

[greatsquirrelhunter]

[Faolan tilts his head to try and keep Coyote's upright. His eyes widen at the demonstration of language and he barks a reply]

[canistricari]

[ His head remains in place while the rest of his body rolls over so he's on his back, laughing hysterically in true coyote manner. ]

Ahahahahaha! Yip! Yip!

[greatsquirrelhunter]

[Faolan likes laughter and beams at Coyote, barking back at him.]

[canistricari]

Why do you keep that form, boy?

[brosif]

You need only say it once.

[canistricari]

Oh? But what if you didn't hear me? Hello! Hello, warrior girl!

[brosif]

Hello.

What are you?

[canistricari]

A curious question indeed!

I am a coyote.

[brosif]

You do not look like any coyote that I have ever seen.

[canistricari]

I'm sure I am entirely unlike any coyote you have ever seen!
