[ when kazunari rings the bell, he only waits for a moment or two before shadows coalesce beside the desk, and out pops aquila! they are sporting a pair of pitch black wings that sprout from their back, and have foregone the gloves; instead, their hands are the same pitch black, and they've got the origami eagle held carefully between clawed fingers. ]
Thanks for the bird, Kazunari. [ they give it a little wiggle. ] How can I help?
[ no worries on ooc, we're just happy you're here!
aquila turns their hand a bit, and the origami eagle disappears down their sleeve. ]
Sure. Love a good chat. Maybe the best part of my job, actually. [ they don't seem to mind at all! and to kazunari's question, they cock their head. one of the wings comes up and extends out some, enough that they can look at it out of the corner of their eye, and so kazunari can get a closer look if he wants one. ]
As for these things... I mean, I'm supposed to be an eagle, if the stories the others were telling me's true. Who knows, though! Saw somebody that looked like a dragon, earlier. Think these things really don't stick that much to reality, so I wouldn't overthink it.
Unless you think there's some kinda rhyme or reason? Why're you a cat.
Mm, "Aquila" is a constellation named for an eagle where I'm from, so I figured... [ eagle! and yet. ] Black makes you think look more like a crow, though.
[ or a raven. but he shrugs. ]
Something similar happened in the prism, and I got catty there sometimes, too. I just figured it had something to do with one of my past roles? Since I played a black cat for my first co-lead. I don't think I'm very cat-like otherwise?
Oh. Why's it named after an eagle, do you know? Just the shape?
[ they will extend the wing to let him! the black shadow material is pitch black - it seems to absorb the light around it - and it's just slightly iridescent, almost purple at a very close look. ]
A crow'd be fine, too, though. I fly like a bird, I'm a bird, and that's about all I've got. [ they sound a little amused, and then peer at kazunari's cat features as he comes in to inspect it. ]
Huh, maybe. Maybe the universe just thinks you're cute like a cat.
You know, I'm not really sure? They drew the shapes in the sky based on their myths and stuff, so they probably just thought the shape was close enough.
Your feathers do have that iridescent look crows have... I almost wish I could paint it. It's a pretty cool look!
week 2, monday
Thanks for the bird, Kazunari. [ they give it a little wiggle. ] How can I help?
no subject
Nothing specific, I just wanted to chat, if that's okay? I haven't really had a chance to talk to you guys yet, so I wanted to fix that!
[ sweats in ooc stuff but anyway. ]
So you guys are affected, too! And you're a bird... do you know what kind? Eagles aren't usually black, are they?

[ hehe. he'll do the little nya~ pose. ]
The universe is right, nya~! Don't you think?
no subject
[ they laugh, the wing fluttering playfully before it pulls back into their back. ]
Aaand... maybe? Maybe, I think I see it. [ they cock their head. ] Nya?

[ winks! ]
Kazunyari Meowoshi, at your service! Pawsitively pleased to meet you!
no subject
[ they seem pleased by this idea, actually, preening a little.
and then they laugh. ]
Ohh, that's cute, I'm calling you that forever, Kazunyari! Haha.
no subject
[ free me ]
We had to practice this kind of thing for the play, you know? We were dreaming in cat puns for weeks!
no subject
Hahah. Must be hard to be an actor, huh?
no subject
It can be! But it's worth it to make someone smile. That's how real entertainment should be, IMO.
...No offense to your boss.
no subject
Well, it probably makes him smile. Iunno. Don't claim to understand the guy.
no subject
...I mean, I know that's a thing you have to do sometimes for normal jobs, but I wouldn't say this is normal?
no subject
[ they shrug. ] Gotta make a living, somehow.
no subject
So they're paying you like any normal job? You're not here for the same reasons we are...?
[ he doesn't want you to have to worry over someone!! ]

Then I hope you get what you came here for, without having to lose someone you care about - as hard as that might be.
no subject
... I hope so too. Thanks, Kazunari. [ a beat. ] Kazunyari.
