I hear you like birds

[mdwlrk]

"Like" is a bit of an understatement.

[He sends her a picture of his living room, which is like what a cat person's house looks like when it's been taken over with cats ... only with birds. Branches stretch from the walls. There are countless birds all over the place. One is even a blur at the time of the photo.]

[realists]

[ oh... oh jimmy

moderation, my dude ]

Do you have a favorite?

[mdwlrk]

[No.]

Type of bird or bird that's here? My favorite type of bird was the meadowlark, though that feels a touch on the nose these days.

As for who's here? Well! I rather like Betty. She likes to nest in my hair when I'm watching a program.

[realists]

Mine was the kestrel and now that's a whole thing as well

Which one is Betty?

[mdwlrk]

[Imagine that as a Cooltalk link.]

I am sorry about the bird theme in the Aerie. I hadn't expected it to be absorbed so heavily, but my influence appears to be seen there, isn't it? Unless you all are very obsessed with birds. I imagine some of the names here and there haven't helped.

[realists]

[ hmmm jyn would die for betty ]

Did you make the Aerie? If you didn't I don't think the bird influence was entirely your fault.

The name I used when I was 16 was Kestrel.

[rehandle]

And here I was beginning to wonder if I'd ever have the pleasure.

[ He says, actually very grateful he didn't have to wade into this particular adventure in networking three minutes after the Aerie dissolved. ]

[mdwlrk]

It's very difficult to be timely when you've lived this long. You quickly learn that time is a construct.

You all should be pleased I'm somewhat regular with the drop offs!

[rehandle]

Oh yes. I'm certainly very grateful that you keep your deliveries of multiversally displaced individuals to a regular schedule. Thank you.

[mdwlrk]

Ah. I can read sarcasm.

[rehandle]

Good. That's a useful skill to have.

[ He'll be getting a lot of use out of it in future, though Stephen's not going to hold onto the thread of this particular barb for now. ]

I assume we can skip introductions?

[mdwlrk]

It's not as if I know a whole lot about you. Social media tends to be only a branded version of who you are, and I was never in on that whole Aerie business. Though being a flock of eagles would be quite fascinating, albeit that not being the case now.

I know you own Red Wings and you were a magician of some kind. Good, creative use of your power, by the way. Not good that the UN likely knows of it.

But no. I don't know you. Just that you were among the first. And you're still there and haven't been in jail. Congratulations on that.

@nathan.drake

[nonscriptum]

ok first i want to say that i'm super excited to know you're alive and well because i was theorizing that you were but it wasn't easy to substantiate without a private moon shuttle

secondly: how's the weather up there today?

[mdwlrk]

Oh, I'm not so easy to kill.

But weather-wise, it's very, very stale. They haven't figured out how to replicate anything but that yet. I'd call it disappointing if I weren't so used to it.

It's hot there, right? I put special cooling systems in the outfits this time. I hope they were appreciated.

[As if the outfits themselves could be.]

[nonscriptum]

hot, yeah, feels like panama in the summer. [ Maybe that's a weird statement, seeing as Panama doesn't exist anymore here. ] but i can't actually speak to the appreciation since i wasn't wearing one.

[ Though he has the distinct and nagging feeling that the newly Displaced were not as amused. ]

nice use of imagery on the breastplates. i'm kind of assuming your audubon catalogue is a little more limited than it would have been before the global flooding.

[mdwlrk]

Thankfully, they started saving DNA of a lot of creatures before WWIII came around. Reintroducing animals was a difficult task on its own, especially when they decided to outlaw cloning altogether. Outside of organs. And you can't pass off birds as organs.

Some of the birds I have up here with me aren't down below, and I don't have everything that's down there up here. Partly because there have been reports on new species. I was hoping to take a trip down, but with, ah, things being as they are, I should sit tight. I don't want the news to be filled with reports about my cloning tendencies and the like. Both bird and human, that is.

Which is to say: it's limited. But not as much as it could be, not if I hadn't purchased those sequences all those years ago. I had the ability to do so.

[nonscriptum]

hey, send me a list of prospective new species and i'll see if i run across anything.

you ever heard of the nazca lines? you probably haven't seen them since they were already on thin ice in my time due to climate change. [ Flooding and a world war? Fragile geoglyphs never stand a chance. ] most of them were birds.

[mdwlrk]

There are a number of different blackthroats popping up all over the place! No one's gotten a very good picture of them yet given where they are, but if you happen to see any that sounds like it might fit the description, let me know. They were typically native to China. The fact that a number of birders have started to see them again has us all very excited on Cooltalk.

[He sends along a series of pictures of what he means. Basically a lot of pictures of this species.]

As for the Nazca Lines, I can't say I have! I have to wonder what certain people would have made of them if they still existed. Perhaps it's for the best that they don't if there are birds. But if you don't mind me asking, do you know why they were birds? Was that ever determined?

[preseance]

Mr. Henries.

（ his tone's polite, firm. businesslike. ）

I'd like to speak with you, if that's all right.

[mdwlrk]

Well, that is why I gave you the means to contact me.

[Business-like doesn't seem to faze him.]

@ronan.lynch

[somniphoria]

[ this might be a stupid idea. like most of his worst ideas, hasn't really run it by adam. he has nothing but time on his hands in this world. time, purposeless, wasteful time.

and so he dreams.

and though the dreams don't work the way they should here, though kavinsky is taking up residence in his kitchen as a constant headache and a nightmare reminder of everything they've both lost, they give him an idea. ]

do you dream like we do?

[mdwlrk]

No.

[He's delighted that Ronan wrote him. He was afraid that he might not, even with the invitation.]

I was never able to take that power for myself.

[somniphoria]

[ unfortunate.

the lack of competent dreamers here continues to be a let down. but it's fine. he can shove down this need for others. ]

shitty

[mdwlrk]

It's part of why I thought I should give it up.

[Trying to get him back.]
