## Transcript

### Panel 1

* "Actually, Narrator, there is something else. I'm single. And I'm ready to mingle."

I DON'T ACTUALLY NOW IF YOU'RE HITTING ON ME OR JUST GIVING AN UPDATE ON YOUR STATUS THANKS FOR THE INFO

### Panel 2

**I'LL BE SURE TO PASS IT ON TO SOMEONE WHO *CARES***

Ori (To Narrator): brutal

* Thank your new dog-boss for letting you in! Ask if there's any other people/rules/stuff of note you need to know to best 'fit in' w/ the group.

Crow: no prob Hm, as for anything you gotta know, let's see....Oh, first off! All the **Papa's Pockets** belong to Bat and it's not my fault if you eat one and get your ass kicked

### Panel 3

.....I THOUGHT IT WAS A MYTH THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIKE PAPA'S POCKETS

Ori (To Narrator): this 'bat' is clearly unafraid of microwave turnovers

Crow: You'll also want a uniform-...

Bear: Towel?

Crow: Thanks, Bear.

### Panel 4

Crow: Bear's wearing the uniform! Having the exact brand or model of clothes isn't important as long as the style and colors are *roughly* the same. The uniform is **vital** to survival, believe it or not. Recently, we've had a whole lot of trouble with birds - crows, specifically. I don't know what's causing it, but they're kind of...hostile. And they're clever, too, so they can recognize people on sight.

### Panel 5

Crow: If we "train" the hostile crows to only attack people wearing our uniform, it's much easier to stay safe and out of harm's way when in regular clothing, because the birds don't recognize you anymore. It works on cops, too ehehehe

### Panel 6

* You should probably talk to her about Bluejay. The stabbing and the threatening and mention of Oppossum and what not.

Ori: so, about the bluejay thing

Crow: Oh, right. Let's go back inside. It's cold out here.

### Panel 7

HEY, AT LEAST YOU FINALLY GOT THOSE SNACKS, RIGHT??

Orca's chocolate chip cookies

6AM

Crow: The main goal of this group is to find out the truth behind the recent disappearances. Help towards that goal is what we expect from all our members.

### Panel 8

Crow: However, it seems not everyone was set on fulfilling that. I just don't know what to think. Bluejay is - **was** - one of our most trusted members. One of the best. To think she would do something like this... ....So, here's what we know. A few days ago, Lykoi definitely asked Bluejay to meet her at that parking lot. Later, Lykoi is dead, and Bluejay nowhere to be found.

### Panel 9

Crow: Just by that alone, it looks bad for Bluejay. But what I can't figure out is... Why would Lykoi ask Bluejay to meet her in the first place? That night was a full moon night. Lykoi **knew** that. She knew she was on a timer. A werewolf **always** knows. ...Whatever the reason, the two of them were together, and only one walked away alive. With what happened to you tonight, I don't think there's any room for doubt that Bluejay is dangerous to us now. There's really....nothing I can say or do right now, except...*stay away from her* and don't get into a fight with her.

### Panel 10

Crow: She's already proven that she has no qualms about hurting us.

Lioness: Z

Crow: Lioness was right. We can't afford to take any chances. Somehow I think the greeting to Opossum was earnest, though

Opossum: Z

### Panel 11

Crow: Bluejay was a sort of teacher or mentor to a lot of us, but none more so than Opossum - The two of them were pretty close, so...I'm worried for Opossum and how they're taking this whole thing. ...If Bluejay says she misses Opossum, I'm inclined to believe her.

* There will probably be more dangerous encounters with Bluejay or other people in the future. Even though they don't have a gift, Ori should learn how to fight. Maybe with a gun, like Shark? Or something stealthy? Ask the gang members for their opinion on the matter.

### Panel 12

Shark: Learning to fight would definitely benefit you. I wouldn't recommend a gun, though. There's too many Gifts that can render bullets useless.

Orca: I think something stealthy sounds like a good idea! Without magic, you're a little fragile, so maybe focus on being sneaky and fast at the same time. Attack before you're seen, and get out of dodge before you're hit, yknow?

### Panel 13

Bunny: **Sparrow** is our fragile speedster; you can ask her for some tips later! If you need anythin' robotic, come to me. **Duck** knows her way around tools like small explosives if you want those.

### Panel 14

Bunny: Hyena has wicked knifeplay, so I think ze's the best person to ask if you wanna learn that.

EVERYONE'S BEING SO HELPFUL NOW... I THINK THEY LIKE YOU, ORI!! OR SHOULD I SAY... MAGPIE? :D

Crow: \*YAWN\* Well, I'm going back to sleep now... Good night, everybody... We'll sort more stuff tomorrow, Magpie. OK?

### Panel 15

Crow: ...Your story adds up, and the gems are definitely real. The only thing I can't figure out ...is **you.** ...to drop your full identity like it was nothing, and forking over invaluable gems without question...

### Panel 16

Crow: Oh, you can just sleep here if you want. Just pick a spot thats not taken and snooze away ...I guess you already have a free spot

Ori: ...thanks

Crow: Here's a blanket too

Ori: thanks

### Panel 17
