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. ]

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!

[brosif]

By speech alone?

[canistricari]

Oh, much more than that!

Would you like to see me juggle my eyes? [ The other girl almost fainted and he didn't get a chance to show off. ]

[brosif]

Would you ask that I juggle mine in return? I assure you, they are not meant for such games.

[canistricari]

Ahahahahahahaha! What a funny girl! No, no, you needn't do the same. Then how would you watch?

[ He proceeds to pop his eyes out of their sockets (which thankfully just sit there, and don't bleed or anything), grabs a rock to fill in the gap, and yes, he juggles his eyeballs. They spin and turn to watch Sif as Coyote grins. ]

[brosif]

[Sif watches with interest enough – it’s not a trick she has seen before.]

Where do you hail from, creature?

[canistricari]

[ He catches his eyes with the empty sockets and lets the rock fall. ]

Everywhere, and nowhere!

[brosif]

And anywhere in between?

[canistricari]

Everywhere in between! Ahahaha!

[brosif]

And being here, not of your own doing, does not trouble you?

[canistricari]

It is a magnificent trick indeed! My pride is not so weak.

[brosif]

And what of your power -- does it have strength to it, or is it based in tricks alone?

[canistricari]

Tricks without power are but child's play!

[brosif]

Tricks themselves are but child's play.

[canistricari]

How sad, that you think so! How sad indeed!

[brosif]

My thoughts have served me well enough for long enough.
