[Video] 004 ☽

[He's been given so much to think about these days. After his talk with Akito, that negativity, while not necessarily dampening his spirit, did get to him somewhat. To think that people still thought that way...it was a little frustrating, after everything he had fought for--

And then...A parrot and a missing name on the contact's list. It's little wonder his expression is contemplative, bordering a little, perhaps, on quietly sad.

It isn't like him to use his SFC, no, except for answering other's calls or privately calling others, but this is something he needs to do.

And perhaps...well, loneliness is something that he doesn't much deal with, normally, but even for someone like him, to lose is lonely. No matter how much he gets used to it.

But when he turns to the screen, his expression is as calm as always. There is...also a yellow parrot on his shoulder, which might be familiar to anyone who knew a [Bad username or site: treasurehunted title= @ livejournal.com]. The parrot seems to find picking up strands of blue hair and dropping them entertaining, so that is what it is doing.

Minato doesn't seem to mind--or at least, he ignores it.]

Is anyone familiar with how to take care of large birds?

[He tilts his head, shifting--the parrot squawks before steadying itself from the movement.]

Any advice would be appreciated.

[He hesitates a moment more--it's his duty to look after this parrot, right? If...aniki is gone, as it seems to be.

And then a flap of large wings--the bird is rather too large to sit comfortable on Minato's small frame--and he fumbles with the SFC as a result--]

Ah--

[And the feed clicks off.

Oops?]

[... Isn't that—]

Have you tried looking for books in the library...?

[messianic]

I...haven't gotten the chance. I didn't expect I'd be taking care of him.

[...sigh.]

I'll check there as soon as I get the chance, though.

[SQUAWK. H-hnngh. A-anyway.]

How are you settling in?

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

Well, if you need any help, let me know! I've never taken care of an animal before, but it can't be any worse than looking after kids, can it?

[He grins, because alsdkajdas—]

Eureka arrived!

[dystopiadreams.livejournal.com]

Moto..chika?

*Selphie seems a little dismayed, but then she turns that into a smile - she can keep herself together for Minato*

Large birds? You know I do! I'll be round right away, okay?

[messianic]

[Ah-- Did Selphie know him too? He blinks, before nodding.]

Ah-- if you're sure, I'd appreciate it, Selphie-chan.

[Bird. Grooming his hair again. Welp.]

[dystopiadreams.livejournal.com]

*Tra la la - Selphie gets to Minato's house eventually, magically. She knows on the door brightly*

Miiinaaatoo-kuuuun!

[There is a young boy with a cat on his hat, staring into the screen.]

What part are you having trouble with?

[Video foreverrrr] oh god no crushes okay--

[messianic]

[... A cat. On his hat. Well okay.]

I was just hoping for some information; I've never had a bird for a pet before.

[And this is a temperamental bird, though he is behaving at the moment.]

Have you ever had one?

[pristinestar.livejournal.com]

[Aww, that's somehow rather cute to Red! The sight of Minato and a cute bird sitting on him. But something in Minato's glance seems off today... Hopefully, that was just Red's imagination.]

I know how to... If you want, I can come over and help you, Minato. If that's okay!

[messianic]

[...Oh--]

Do you? I'd appreciate it, if it isn't too much trouble.

[SQUAWK. ...ow that was in his ear.]

[ video ]

[aphorise.livejournal.com]

[He stares for a bit before he responds. Minato seems to be busy with handling the bird (whom he recognizes), with the feed having abruptly cut off and all, but Masamune knows he'll get back to him soon enough.]

The Demon of the West Sea's bird, huh?

[ video ]

[messianic]

[Who happens to be ruffling his feathers and sitting on Minato's head when he picks up the SFC again.

...ah.]

...That's right. His name isn't on the contacts list anymore.

[A slow breath, and he continues steadily.]

That means he went home.

how about we have some nice CR for once :|a

[solestial.livejournal.com]

What a beautiful parrot! He seems quite fond of you.

Nice CR? With Lae? What is that--

[messianic]

[There's a bit of a blink and--

Oh. Another talking pony...? ....well okay why not. The bird just squawks and ow that was his ear laskndas--]

Ah...I'm not so sure about that.

He is a beautiful bird, though, you're right.

[Aniki had good taste, sob.]

[singularjustice.livejournal.com]

-- you have a bird?

I've taken care of a couple flying types; Archeops is one -- maybe I could help?

[Video]

[messianic]

[Oh--

...well. Anything could help, really, so he's quick to nod, the bird fluffing up his feathers and squawking in response.]

I would appreciate the help. I have to admit that I've never taken care of a bird before.

[rarestone.livejournal.com]

Ah, well... I've never dealt with a bird like that, but I have taken care of Skarmory for quite some time.

[messianic]

[...Skarmory. Isn't that the name of a Pokemon--.

Well. He can always pass of that knowledge as something he'd learned from N, right?]

Skarmory...That would be a large bird Pokemon, right?

[He is suddenly very grateful that Chibioni is not made of metal.]

...If you have any advice, I would appreciate it.

[badgerlet.livejournal.com]

[Daine's amused; she can't help herself. Parrots are funny creatures, even though they're not her favourites, and it looks as though Minato is struggling. Well, she's been hired to look after many birds once before, so just one can't be difficult.]

They're difficult to look after if you're not sure what to do. Especially parrots; they're fair cheeky. I'd be happy to help, if you want me to talk to him or just give some tips.

[messianic]

[Oh geeze. Struggling is one word, he reaches for the SFC, the bird having re-located to his head. Squawk.]

I'd appreciate the help--I've never had to take care of a bird before.

[Said bird is eying the SFC curiously, head cocked near-upside down.]

[itskidflash.livejournal.com]

You should probably get it a better place to sit than your shoulder.

[messianic]

[Fumbling with that SFC-- and the bird seems to have relocated to the top of his open door. Welp.

Minato looks up at him for a moment before giving up and returning his attention to the screen.]

You're probably right. I wasn't expecting him to fly through my window--

[S-sob. Demon bird.]

[Action; 1/3] BECAUSE SHE LIVES HERE--

[dualpinkpistols]

[ ... Don't think she didn't catch that expression, Minato. Maya can tell; she's practically got a sixth sense for this sort of thing as it is, and she's dealt with Tatsuya.

Which means she'll be coming to where he's at as soon as possible. ]

[2/3]

[dualpinkpistols]

[ ... Walking into the room, now. As Maya walks up to Minato, she stops, smiling. But it's only a smile for the sake of cheerfulness and brightening the atmosphere. ]

We'll figure that out in a bit. Why don't we run down to the pet store? They'd have the best idea about it.

[3/3]

[dualpinkpistols]

[ But then her smile dwindles somewhat, her expression a little bit serious. ]

But talk about a heavy atmosphere... it feels like I've walked into a funeral home!

[ She shakes her head a bit, a hand on her hip as she sizes Minato up. ]

I'm guessing you're not taking care of you right now, either. So you're going to be a good boy, Mina-chin, and tell your Maya-nee why you're so sad! Got it?
