Second Century - Clouds Flocking the Sun

[aslla_jack]

 [Jack isn't so much here because of the contests so much as the fact that there were supposedly no birds. In addition, the whole flair of the city apparently makes him stand out much less; despite being almost entirely black with the occasional glowing marker at least. Unfortunately, there was one dragon in particular that was also considered a bird.]

[And that bird happens to be the one which loves sitting on people.] GET OOOOOOOOOFF!!

[Anyone in the city likely heard that- perhaps saw it too. There are dozens and dozens of swablu following him around right now, either clinging to his arms or the tail of his coat.] OFF OFF OFF!!

SwaaaaAAAAAA

BluuuUUUUUU

I SAID GET OFF! [Ahhh, but they obviously aren't listening, and if anything are quite eager to remain in his presence. Finally, he appears to have had it.] RRAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

[FLOOF! Wow Jack, those are really nice wings you have there; his arms are suddenly a rather large pair of feathery wings, and each wing is at least 11 feet long. He easily takes off for the skies, convieniently forgetting one thing...]

SwaaAAAAAAAAAAA~~

[Swablu fly too.]

OOOF-!

[And a pile of swablu on his back is more than enough to knock him out of the air, explaining the scene most will see either in person or on transceiver. That is to say, Jack, wings and feathers ruffled, under a pile of overly cheerful swablu.] Dammit...

[note- Jack's still plently full size despite what the icon implies, ahahahah]

Comments

[video] FLOOF! is the best sound effect

[mediocrespells]

[ Hazel is in Nimbasa for the contests but, not near where Jack is at the moment. She's on a bench with her giant puppy looming behind her. ]

Um... Do you need help... or something?

Yup yup

[aslla_jack]

[Stubborn Jack is stubborn- even under mounds of cloud fluff and swablu he refuses to admit if he needs it.]

I'm fine! [No you're not.]

Hee

[mediocrespells]

[ He seems quite angry about all the birds so, she doesn't buy it. ]

You like being buried in Swablu?

[ Admit it or she might be tempted to add her Altaria to the pile... No she won't. The though might cross her mind but, she's not mean enough to do it. ]

[aslla_jack]

. . .

I'll get out! [AHAHHAHAhahahah stop that Jack.]

[mediocrespells]

[ He knows all she has to do to find him is look for all the birds, right? ]

...Doesn't seem like that would last too long.

[ And Zack is looking around to see if he can spot all the birds from where they are. He wants to go say hello. ]

[aslla_jack]

Mn?! And what's that supposed to mean?

[Ooooh, touchy.]

[mediocrespells]

[ Hazel stands up. Yeah she wants to see if she can maybe chase the Swablu away. ]

They'll just sit on you again.

[ Those birds look very persistent. ]

Seems there's even a good chance Repels wouldn't make them go away.

[ Zack whines. Being buried by birds all day seems unpleasant. Hazel gives him a pat and answers what she thinks he might be saying. ]

You can go if you want. I'll catch up.

[ And there he goes. No clue if he'd be any help but, he wants to try. ]

[aslla_jack]

Ngh-! [DAMMIT.] Do what you will then! [Huff huffhuff]

[mediocrespells]

Okay... [ No point talking on the Xtransceiver anymore so, she'll put it away and follow after her Pokémon. In about a minute you'll have an Arcanine skidding to a stop next to you. So many birds he's not even sure whether his arrival scared any away. His trainer isn't in sight just yet. ]

[planetary_bonds]

Jack.

[Nevermind that he has his own little stalker-a little green thing with huge jaws. It keeps trying to present him with something in a bag, some sort of orange glittery dust. He's not sure what it all means, but it's not trying to cause trouble or anything, so Yuusei has no problems with this Pokemon following him.

Jack, on the other hand...]

[aslla_jack]

It's a crater of white, white, white, and blue.

And a spot of orange looking up and sputtering to get this cloud out of his mouth AAAUGH- and-

Wait.

Jack looks up, blinking. "MN- Y... Yuusei!" It's still taking a bit to get used to OKAY-

[planetary_bonds]

[Blink. A stare.]

You're surprisingly popular.

[Is that a smirk, Jack?]

[aslla_jack]

"Ngh-!" WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT NO-

"This isn't the kind of popularity I want!!" WHY BIRDS, WHYTHIS-

...Jack, your wings are half-flapping outside the limits of the Swablu crater, and anything on them is enjoying the free ride. Why haven't you made them normal again yet.

[planetary_bonds]

[Blink.]

Do you want help?

[aslla_jack]

"No!"

Beat.

And.

"I'm perfectly-" Flap flap flap- "-Capable-" FLAP FLAP FLAP- "....SSSSSSFFFFFFffffFFFFFFF" What the hell kind of sound was that what-

[planetary_bonds]

...Ah.

[Yes, Jack. You're perfectly fine. Yuusei totally believes you. That deadpan voice says everything.

Meanwhile, the green little thing that keeps following Yuusei around is now...hissing? Whatever it's doing, it's crawling towards that pile while Yuusei isn't looking.]

[aslla_jack]

"...You don't believe me?!"

Jack, do YOU believe you!?

And- Ohhhhhh little green guy, best watch it... You make the wrong move and this is going to go to hell very very fast.

[SOMETIME LATER EVENTUALLY]

[aslla_jack]

By the end of all that happened, Jack was quite exhausted to say the least. His pokemon all seem to have evolved thanks to batting away the swarming swablu, and at this rate he's really regretting coming to the city.

Nonetheless, it's night, and he's at least managed to find an area devoid of people (or is that his fault again?)- so, taking the most comfortable position in what's likely a half-asleep daze given what it is, he and his pokemon fall asleep.

...As the swablu swarm and flock the area, accompanied by Altaria.

...And as he perches more or less on one crouched leg, wings from his arms again and thickly fluffed around him- the injured one more or less hangs off the bench.

Please. No one tell him how he sleeps. Ever.

Re: [SOMETIME LATER EVENTUALLY]

[withmyfluffbat]

...Huh? Iris is wandering, quite content. She has Benga biting to her arm. It doesn't hurt, really.
But then...
"Wow! Look at those Swablu!"
Iris rushes over to tackle them... before... she sees him! A fluffy guy, perching like a bird. But look at how fluffy he was!
She hasn't noticed the injured leg yet... however, she's decided.

Have a glomp, Jack.

im gonna cry

[aslla_jack]

Yep nope nope-

"KRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-" A very inhuman and bird-like screech is Iris' response unfortunately, and the others, woken up as rudely as they were, react accordingly themselves.

So while Jack fumbles and flails and falls over, given the whole gravity-vs-perch thing, the pitnite is flaming, the herdier is barking, the nidorina (...Rino?) seems to be hissing, and-

SWAAA SWAAA SWAAAAAA-

ALlllllTTARIAAAAAAAAA-!

Everything is angry and nothing hurts.

[withmyfluffbat]

Ow ow owie! Iris scrambles back, her Salamence suddenly landing, rushing towards the scene. You did not frighten her trainer.
"Saaaaaaa."
Iris is just staring from behind her dragon. What was this thing? Was he a trainer?

[aslla_jack]

"RAAAAAAAAAAH-!" OW OW OW-

The birds are still going completely nuts, but at least the three others seemed to have calmed down.

If at least enough to stand and stare down (or attempt to stare down) the Salamence.

Regardless, Jack isn't an idiot, and he very quickly puts two and two together- "OIII! What the heck was that!!" So he says as he stands with most of his weight on one leg, with feathered arms/wings reaching a span of 25 feet.

[withmyfluffbat]

"You were sleeping and looked cuddily! So I went out for a cuddle!"
Iris said, with a protesting growl. As for the Salamence? It hasn't changed stance, it's still growling out a warning to the birds and others.

[aslla_jack]

"Nh-" WHAT-

The birds would like you to leave their god/king alone.

The trio would like you to know that Jack doesn't like being called either of those things, please leave them alone.

...

Queen would like you to know 'Your scales are GAWWWWWWGEOUS hun~'

And meanwhile- "D-Don't just cuddle random people!" Also. "AND I'M NOT CUDDLY!!" Noooo, of course you're not Jack.

[withmyfluffbat]

Skyla gives a hiss right at Queen. "Right. Did you turn into Burgh?" before turning back to her warnings. Don't mind the Vespiquen staring over. Her?

"Hmph. You looked more like a Pokemon, roosting like that!"
