quail heart
You're plunged into a deep, deep darkness. A horrible smell of burning fills your nostrils and you hear the crackling of fire from somewhere closeby. Smoke starts pouring into your lungs, making it impossible to breathe...
Just as it feels like you're about to pass out from lack of air, it's all gone. The darkness, the smell, the sound, the smoke. You find yourself standing in a small room, though something about you feels very different from normal.
[OOC: While your character is inside this heart, they will be in the form of a Hatoful-style uplifted bird! What species they are is up to you; they'll be about three times the size of normal birds that species, perfectly capable of talking, and able to use their wings both for (somewhat limited) flying and as (slightly clumsier than human) hands. You're still wearing your normal clothes, though they are now cut in a style suited for birds.

Re: Mirror room
All of them are stained with ash, but some seem to be in better condition than others.
Re: Mirror room
Can he wipe one off a bit with his sleeve? One of the less ashy ones.]
Re: Mirror room
You're struck with a feeling of weariness - keeping all these children safe can be such hard work, and you're only one bird. How can you possibly hope to do enough?
Re: Mirror room
No one's expecting you to do it all by yourself...
[he certainly isn't going to rely on a bird to keep him safe. What happens if he tentatively brushes a wing across the heart mirror?]
Re: Mirror room
A special person that you could find one day? It would be nice, but would that really be all right? After all, you have more important things to do, and you doubt you'd have much to give anyway.
Re: Mirror room
Is Gryphon possibly into humans that way.
This is a subject Chimera didn't need or want to consider. Ew. Someone else can check the rest of these out, he's just going to shake his head to get rid of that image and hurry along to the next room.]
Re: Mirror room
For a moment, you can't quite tell who this new bird is, but then you realise it's Gryphon. How didn't you recognise him immediately.
"Excuse me... I need your help. I've lost something."
Re: Mirror room
...You'll need to tell me what it is you've lost, first.
Re: Mirror room
Re: Mirror room
[He just heard the bird's other name (didn't the fluffy one say it was "Uzune Hitori"?) recently, so he remembers it. But he prefers this one.]
Re: Mirror room
"No, that's not it. I'm looking for a different name."
Re: Mirror room
Uzune Hitori, then? Or perhaps you prefer Mister Nanaki?
Re: Mirror room
"No, no! It's not- I don't know. I'll need to find it first."
Re: Mirror room
...Well, unless you think you'll find it hiding in a mirror, it's probably not here. Let's look for it in a different room.
