the aviary seems pretty popular

[ofthehellguard]

Anyone in or around the aviary may be subjected to a series of loud crashes, accompanied by a shout of alarm and lots of angry tweeting.

One moment Uriel was trying to land on the ground from the open air, and the next there was a roof over her head and a tree in her way. She had simply been going too fast to slow down or avoid it, so down through the branches she went, sending leaves, twigs and birds shooting off in every direction.

Ow.

By stretching her wings Uriel manages to slow her descent before she reaches the ground, though that still leaves her stuck in a tree she'll have to extricate herself from. Only once she's sure she's not going to crash down another few feet by moving does she take a moment to feel relieved.

Now, where is she...?

"Whoa!"

Sophie's eyes go huge as suddenly everything gets loud: birds screaming, branches snapping, and the sound of someone falling hard at high speed. Without meaning to, she backs away, Xelques long gone, until she's pressed up against the wall.

When all of the noises stop--well, except for the birds--Sophie takes a small step forward to see what in the world happened. In seconds, she finds the person responsible for all the racket, and she takes in a breath to say hi when--

Wings.

Sophie gasps and runs for the door. She has to go get Gee Girl.

She tries not to notice how empty her back feels.

Tauriel could have had the faint hearing of a Human and she still would have noticed the great noise coming from the bird-house. It is the sound of destruction, one that has her running swiftly for its source. The children often spend time in that place, and if something dangerous has occurred....

When she steps inside the tower, she gasps, and a hand claps over her mouth. That--that woman has wings.

But she also appears to be trapped. Whatever manner of being she is, Tauriel cannot ignore her distress.

"Greetings," Tauriel calls out, stepping closer. "Are you in need of aid?"

Frisk was just passing by--had passed by, already pretty far down the hall away from the tower--but all that horrible noise sent them running back.

Their head pokes through the door, tilting as they glance around quickly.

...An angel? A not-very-graceful angel. Huh.

They suppose they should try helping, but they're not sure how. They step inside the room anyway, since just walking away right now would probably be rude.

Giles doesn't actually spend a lot of time near the aviary. Mostly because he finds the peacocks mildly terrifying at best. But he's out in the garden and near enough to the building in question to overhear the commotion, and know that even the most agitated birds couldn't possibly cause that much of a fuss.

He's been in this situation enough times to know that whether it's a newcomer, a fight, or both, the situation warrants investigation. So Giles hastens over as quickly as he can when cutting a path through the fairly dense undergrowth, finally stumbling to a stop at the door of the aviary. He casts a wary glance around for people or peacocks, finally calling out:

"Um, h-hello? Is there someone hurt in here?"
