[OPEN] bird bird's the word

Who: Yusuke 'has a furby for a soul' Urameshi (

fingerbanged) & YOU!
When: IC - 7/4 for the first part, anytime through 7/14 for the second | OOC - 5/8 and until the interlude, probably??
Where: A CERESbucks close to one of the apartments, and then anywhere/everywhere in Cerealia!
What: A trip to the local coffee shop grants Yusuke one (1) penguin-shaped Spirit Beast! Also a catch-all throughout the month for anyone who wants to meet/run into Yusuke and his smol creature.
Rating/Warning: YUSUKE BEING YUSUKE aka chances of bad language, punches, and generally bratty teenage boy-isms, sprinkled with cute flying pudgeballs getting into people's business

A: Would you like to make that coffee order a combo? (7/4)

[Ah, coffee shops.

The strong smell of a good brew filtering through the air, a quiet atmosphere with unobtrusive music, lots of comfortable seats and adorable pastries... a perfect place to center yourself before a long day at work. Or maybe you're catching up with some reading and studying for school? Perhaps you're just waiting in line for some coffee, a quick pick-me-up before other errands or something to put the spark of life into the tired shell called a body.

Unfortunately, that peaceful lull is about to be broken, as a small, blue penguin-like creature flutters wildly out of one of the bathrooms, making loud 'PUUUU!!' noises of distress. It flaps haphazardly around the shop, slamming into tables, upsetting cups of coffee and plates of croissants, getting tangled up in a few unlucky customers, much like a fat, agitated pigeon. If one was spiritually keen or able to sense auras on things, the animal feels exactly the same as someone else in the store right now, who is currently dropping the iced coffee they were nursing in shock at the sudden chaos.]

P... Puu? Why're you--??

[At the sound of his name, Puu beelines for Yusuke, divebombing into his arms and letting out a happy cry. Yusuke looks down at his spirit beast for a moment, dumbfounded, before turning his eye on the aftermath.]

... oh jeez.

B: You're like a 'get people into danger' tour guide (7/4-7/14)

[Wherever you are, whatever you may be doing-- meditating, going shopping, eating a tasty sandwich, disposing corpses... er, robot pieces-- you're going to have an unexpected companion joining you! Maybe Puu will be landing in your lap, or stealing a piece of bacon from your burger, or conveniently sitting on top of that last scrap of helper-bot you need to destroy... it's all relatively innocent, even if it's a bit obtrusive. Whether or not Puu's made too much of a nuisance of himself, though, it all ends the same... Yusuke running up and scooping the tiny blue penguin-thing away, looking mildly irritated.]

Dammit, how'd Keiko even keep an eye on you in the first place? I'm gonna have to find a leash for your fat ass if you keep doing this crap!

Anyway, er... sorry about that. Stupid thing's still getting used to this place.

C: Wildcard???

[Basically this is a catch-all log for most of May in regards to Puu, so if you want to plan anything aside from this, hit me up over at

Urameshi!!]

[ zero is, in fact, poking around in piles of robot pieces. the technology behind them is interesting, but they can't glean anything from them on their own.

being interrupted by something weird is almost a relief. zero almost manages to snatch the flying blue object, but yusuke grabs it before they do. ]

What's that? [ they tilt their head. ] A target?

[Kaneda wasn't doing anything so ordinary as getting a coffee or studying, nothing boring like that. No, the cause of his distress comes in the form of barreling after the little penguin thing from the bathroom, one hand holding his pants up around his ass while he screams:]

YOU FAT LITTLE POTATO FUCKER! GET BACK HERE SO I CAN UNCLOG THIS THING WITH YOU!

[Yuusuke is lucky that Shiho actually finds the blue...eared....penguin thing kind of cute. Otherwise she would had gotten on his case for not taking more responsibility for his pet (??) which was landing in her lap while she was doing her reading. Though why the girl would call this reading when all her textbooks were obviously closed is a mystery to anyone who doesn't know her as a psychometer.]

I'm not sure a leash would actually help. [She straightens her papers just a bit.]

Wouldn't it just slip right off?

[She still doesn't know yet that this is the guy who apparently doesn't know what 7 x 5 is. (Sorry, Yuusuke, this is how Kaoru described you to her.)]

[It's about this time of morning when Ryuuga's grabbing a pastry (or three) and some coffee before heading out on his usual routes for courier work.

And then Puu comes barreling out of the bathroom, a Spirit Beast on a mission.

He's mid-bite in one of his pastries when he zips past him, and it's only a stumble and nearly dropping everything in one go that he's able to right himself before everything comes crashing down around him. And while Ryuuga might be more spiritually in tune with things than the average person, it's Zaruba that picks up on the familiarity, giving Ryuuga his usual ping.

He takes a second to set things down on the nearest table, flipping open the visor on his ring:]

Looks like our friend from the jungle has more to him than we originally thought.

Huh?

The one that attacked you.

[He looks confusedly from Zaruba to Puu as he continues the mini-rampage, until he hears Yusuke. Granted, it's an actual normal voice and not growls, and the tattoos and the hair are gone, but if Zaruba confirmed the energies matched up....

Something clearly didn't add up, and especially considering the last time he and Yusuke saw each other, he was trying to tear a hole in Ryuuga's shoulder. This looked ... normal.

Okay, more like relatively normal, but, y'know. He takes a quick drink of coffee before stepping forward. At the very least, Ryuuga's being cautiously friendly? Sorta???]

Looks like he's happy to see you.

[ she was jogging around the residential district on one fine sunday afternoon but then puu decides to fly straight to her face and she falls over so. . .

you know, plans kinds cancelled. ]

Ooh boy... I'm seeing stars. . .

[Illidan walked the streets of the city with a carcass slung over his shoulder, of some unfortunate animal he managed to kill outside of the city. His intent had been to return to his residence, skin the beast, and ponder on whether he cared enough to cook it before eating it.

Normally he was left alone during this practice, but today he wound up plagued by some.... strange fat pigeon. Initially he simply tried to swat the pest away, but it came back. He flexed his hand and was just about to deal with the bird, and gain a side dish for his meal, but it was snatched away before he could strike at it.

And of course the fat pigeon's owner was some human child. He never ceased to be amazed by the sheer abundance of them.]

Then perhaps you should keep it indoors, lest something try to eat it.

[You know the best/worst part of Zoro's nonexistent sense of direction? It's easy to meet the strangest assortment of people due to just walking around the wrong corner at the right time.

Zoro is supposed to be on his way to the dojo to get some real practice in, but he's on the completely other end of the district, looking this way and that to try to figure out if that's the bookstore he passed earlier. Which means he comes around a corner with his head turned the other way right as Puu flies into his face and hits him with a loud SMACK.]

Ow! Geez, what the hell?! Get off me!

[and then Yusuke...? What is this day?]

The fuck, you mean to tell me that's your damn bird?

[ Oh, look. Yang's out and about.

Well. If by out, we mean "outside of the apartment" and by about, we mean "on the front steps", just... sitting. But at least it's not sitting in bed.

She does give a visible start when the tiny blue-penguin thing lands in her lap, leaning back against the stairs-- and she's even more owlish-looking when Yusuke swoops in to scoop him up. ]

... [ Also she's missing an arm. ]

[ Puu will find Duo at one of the outdoor markets in Cerealia, looking over all the fresh produce that the place had to offer. Sure, it might all end up being data in the end of things, but at the moment? Duo is more in the mode that he can finally have something fresh instead of freeze dried or just... dried in general, and needless to say he's very, very excited about it. The braided pilot has his back pack on his back to carry things to the apartment with, his braid slung over his shoulder past the front of his hips so that it wouldn't get stuck under the back pack. He'd been picking through fruits and trying to consider which ones he'd eat quickly enough to make getting them practical, when -

Oh, hi, little blue bird thing.

He offers the strawberry he'd been looking at for Puu to try, smiling in a bemused fashion, unsure of what the hell was going on here. ]

It's not a big deal.. not even my strawberries, y'know?

[As Takeru and his flying potato happened to be minding their own business, they couldn't help but hear a loud scream coming from the distance! Having no idea what to do, the both of them started to look around for the source of the noise before coming across a small blue...creature.

Hey, wait a minute!]

Is that a Digimon? [The boy said before following said flying blue potato around!] Hey wait, I want to talk to you!

[To Rei's credit, she didn't start, jump, or freak out when she felt an awkward weight just suddenly plot down in her lap. She shifted a little to compensate for the weight, having to move her hands out of their usual position...and clamped them down around Puu's sides, gripping the spirit penguin tightly. Not hard, certainly not enough to hurt the little pest...but enough to make sure he wasn't going to go haring off to disturb someone else.

Her eyes slowly crept open, nose twitching slightly when she realized what it was she was holding, and just who it felt like.

And then the boy makes his entrance, prompting her to look up with a glare that could probably curdle milk.]

Is this yours, Yusuke-kun?

[This particular coffee place actually has really good pastries, which is why Fay finds himself there on a day off. He even managed to snag an especially comfy chair in front of a table, and has it in his mind that he might like to stay a while, relaxing.

Or he would, if it wasn't for Puu deciding that wrecking up the coffee shop is a good idea. At... least he's able to save his food; the table in front of him is on its side, still wobbling from being knocked over and there are napkins everywhere. Fay is left blinking, awkwardly sitting back in his chair with a plate with scones in one hand and a mug of hot chocolate in the other.]

Well, that's one way to make an entrance.

[Despite all of that chaos that had happened, Hiro had subtly floated into the air to avoid his pastries getting knocked over. And like the little sneaky bunny he was, he's just watched the chaos from down below. Floating back down into the seat, he takes a moment to swallow the last pastry that he was eating as if nothing ever happened...

And calmly, he lifts a finger.]

Waiter! ♪ I would like some extra pastries to go with that train wreak that just happened. Please and thank you.

[Sans never really delved into the world of human coffee, preferring his monster food over much else. But seeing how things were in the colony, he doesn't really have a choice in his dining experiences, or, rather, he has a lot of choices and no real place to start.]

[So why not a café? Here he could try something simple like coffee and a croissant. Nothing fancy, nothing venti, nothing dark brew, cold brew, blue brew, or whatever the heck that hipster behind the counter tried to sell him. Just some carbs chilling with a cup of calcium and caffeine while Sans enjoys one of his (many) breaks throughout his otherwise work-filled day.]

[He brings the mug up to his mouth, cozy in his chair, and takes a deep breath (somehow). It smells pretty good, maybe it tastes pretty good t-- no wait, nope.]

[That's a ball of blue feather-fur slamming into his cup and spilling the coffee all over the floor.]

[...that's just typical, isn't it?]

[But he's not one to cry over spilled milk with a shot of espresso, so when Sans glances up at Yusuke, he does it with his usual chill.]

That little guy a friend of yours?

[ it's a nice day out. the sun's shining and the skies are bright, but the air isn't too hot or muggy. the perfect day to take up one of the tables outside a nice cafe, take a seat under a roomy sun umbrella with a nice cold drink and ... work on homework.

because even if he's stuck in some sort of hellish otherworldly city, as long as he's been placed in school, kakyoin is going to finish his homework perfectly, just like he would back home.

to be honest, it's more that the familiarity of going through his notes and filling out worksheets is a little calming, and kakyoin sits back with a satisfied noise as he puts aside a finished assignment. he's almost done with everything, which warrants a short break, and he looks up to pick up his half-finished glass of melon soda ... only to find a penguin (?!) sitting right in the way, apparently just done horfing down the cherry danish he'd barely gotten to take a few bites of.

............................ ah.

probably a good thing yusuke swoops in just as kakyoin's starting to give puu a pointed glare. the mismatch between the image he has of yusuke and that big, pudgy penguin is just strange enough that kakyoin's temporarily distracted from his irritation. ]

Yusuke. I didn't take you for the type to keep birds.

[ said just a little dryly. ]
