## Synopsis

Bluejay speaks to Ori. It is clear that Bluejay knows a lot more about Ori than he knows about Bluejay. Bluejay leaves through a portal in a door with an unnamed character.

## Transcript

### Panel 1

* well, yes, that's your name! but tell her that she's better off calling you Magpie. what does she even want from you?

Bluejay: **Magpie,** huh? So you've really decided to join up! I---

Lioness: **Don't trust her, Magpie!**

Bluejay: Indoors voice, Lioness. Diminuendo

Lioness: ................

### Panel 2

AT BLUEJAY'S COMMAND, THE WORLD FALLS SILENT...

Lioness: ..................

YOU CAN'T HEAR IT, BUT LIONESS IS TRYING TO TALK. YOU CAN'T HEAR ANY SOUND AT ALL, AS THOUGH SOMEONE TURNED DOWN THE VOLUME DIAL OF THE WORLD ITSELF...

* Respectfully ask Bluejay what she wants from you... but be on your guard, and be ready to retaliate in case she swings.

### Panel 3

Ori: i'm sorry, but i don't even know you! what do you want from me??

AMAZINGLY, YOUR VOICE STILL CARRIES, LOUD AND CLEAR.

Bluejay: I just wanted to see you! Have a little chat!

GRAB

### Panel 4

Bluejay: You know... Just between us **corvidae**

SQUEEZE

Bluejay: **Without** weapons if you please, small corvid friend.

### Panel 5

Bluejay: Haha - What *is* this thing, anyway? It's full of blood, but not even a little bit enchanted? Without magic, this is useless.

Ori: please...

Bluejay: It's just a weak, flashy waste.

Ori: give it back

Bluejay: **Worthless.**

THROW

Bluejay: Here's a **tip:** Next time, don't **insult** me by bringing **novelty toys** to a knife fight.

### Panel 6

Ori (Internal): ...it might not seem like much to anyone else, but that piece of **novelty garbage** is all i have left from kier-dae. i am **not** an **only child.** i am a **twin.** **Rigel Keir-Dae Atlas** is the missing heir to the corporation ... and my sister. this knife is useless in a fight when you don't have any magic. i know. only two of these knives were ever made. a pair. even though magic is bound to an individual's blood, we are twins, so our blood is close enough to be interchangeable. she was carrying my knife, and i hers. this knife is worthless in **my** hands, but it's **hers** and it's all i have left. i need to hang on to it so i can give it back when i finally find her.

### Panel 7

Bluejay: What's the matter, Magpie? Zoning out, at a time like this?

### Panel 8

Bluejay: "Magpie"...You know, I like that a lot better. "Orion" and "Icarus" are such weird names, don't you think? I guess old man ***Betelgeuse* Atlas** picked a name theme and stuck to it, huh? Anyways, **Magpie,** I only really had one thing to say; a **warning.**

### Panel 9

Bluejay: ...Don't go too far chasing a **star.** In the end, you'll only end up **burning your wings off.**

### Panel 10

Ori: ...! hey, wait! what do you know!?

Bluejay: I know when I've **far** overstayed my welcome. See ya around.

Ori: you know something about **Rigel,** don't you??

Bluejay: Good luck with everything, **Magpie.**

Ori: wait--

### Panel 11

Bluejay: Well. I'll be off, then. Say hi to Opossom from me. I miss that little bugger already.

### Panel 12

WHEN BLUEJAY LEAVES,

SLAM

......ALL THE MISSING SOUND COMES BACK.

Lioness: Are you okay, Magpie? Why was Bluejay so interested in you? Did what she say mean anything to you? Also, here's your knife back. It got a bit chipped when she tossed it. Sorry. She **does** have a point, though. This is a solid hunk of **crystal -** why isn't it enchanted? That would make it less brittle, too.

IT'S TIME TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND, IT SEEMS. SECRECY OR HONESTY?
