> Learn about your new body
You stand up and walk around for a little bit, getting used to your new body. You can't walk quite the same way you did when you were human, but you take to it fairly well. The obvious next step is to learn how to fly. The blue harpy hops over toward you and starts flapping her wings. You assume she's trying to show you how. Following her example, you flap your wings while moving forward. A powerful gust from your wings propels you upward. Taking off seems quite easy and quick. You note that it would be a good way of dodging.
After a few hard landings, you feel like you have a basic grip on flying. You soar up a little ways and deside to see if you can focus well enough to cast magic. You try to cast your most demanding healing spell on the harpy. It works, but you note that it seems to take quite a bit more effort. You doubt that you could maintain flight while casting spells for too long.
Landing once more, you approach the harpy. She seems completely friendly towards you and you wonder if it would be a good idea to bring her along. You motion towards her and yourself and then point over to Malor again, trying to ask her if she wants to join you. After a short time of trying to explain, she nods and gives you some more happy noises. It would seem that you have made a new ally. You point to yourself and say your name, repeating it a few times.
"Fo... Fro... Flor... ya..?" The harpy tries to repeat your name a few times before finally getting it. "Fl... Floria..? Floria!" You smile at that. It seems like she is at least capable of learning your speech. You point at her and ask her if she has a name. You point back to yourself a few times, saying your name, and then back at her, trying to make her understand. She simply tilts her head at that. You doubted that she would have a name, since she's feral. It might be a good idea to give her one.
You consider trying to learn that magic that she used to transform you, but you're not sure how you would ask her to show you. Ferals with magic ability are somewhat uncommon, so you're interested in how she learned it. For now, you simply give her a hug to show that you appreciate her not digesting you.
During that hug, your stomach growls loudly. You realize you still haven't eaten for nearly a whole day. If you don't get some food soon, you're going to start starving! The harpy hears your stomach and looks at you. She makes some noises and motions for you to wait as she starts to fly off. You start to try and follow, but she's much faster than you and you quickly realize that you wouldn't be able to keep up. Instead, you simply rest near the cliffside, looking over towards town.
Several minutes later, you hear the flapping of wings and a soft thud behind you. You also hear some swearing. Turning around, you see the harpy with a male human pinned to the ground under her talons. She gives you some noises before pushing him towards you. She obviously wore him out as he's having trouble standing.
"Fucking birds..." He tries to move away, but the harpy cuts him off. "Piss off!" He looks over at you and stops for a moment with a confused look on his face. "Wait a sec, you're..! What the hell?!" Looking at his face, he does look vaguely familiar. Thinking for a moment, you realize this is one of the bandits from Nysk's old group! You rush over to him and pin him down, demanding to know where Myla and Garrett are.
"Who the hell is Garrett?!" He struggles under your talons as you inform him that he was the centaur with you. "Fuck... That guy? I don't know! The guy just ran!" You interrogate him again, asking what happened and where Myla is. "Don't tell me you haven't figured it out. Edris was right about you. You really are an idiot." You push your sharp talons into him, making him yell. "Fuck! Stop it! It was a trap, alright?! Edris was supposed to lead you into it!" You push him again, asking about Myla. "You'd like to know, wouldn't you?" You poke him with your talons again. "Gah! She's... She's in the fort! We captured her!" You ask him what they plan to do with her. "Hell if I know! I'm just a lookout! I barely even go in the main fort! I just live in the camp!" He looks up at you with a mix of hate and fear. "Just... let me go! What the hell even happened to you?! You were a human!"
It would seem that your new harpy friend brought you just the right "breakfast". After pushing him a little more, you realize that he most likely doesn't know anything else. From what he said, Garrett probably escaped, but Myla was captured. But now you have to decide what to do with him...

We need a name for Fluffbirb! Put some name suggestions in your comments! I'll choose one semi-randomly. I'm not gonna pick ones I don't like. :V
We also need to decide what to do with our little bandit friend here. Though something tells me this is gonna be a bandit we aren't going to befriend... :V

So it's confirmed that others in the world still have the capacity to recognize Floria as... well, Floria, despite the sudden change in species.
Anywho, as far as names for our new Fluffbirb friend, how about "Nina", of Breath of Fire fame?
As far as what we should do with this bandit here... yeah, we should totally eat him. He's breakfast, plain and simple. It would be ideal if we could take out the whole bandit camp like that, one at a time. ^_^

I say we eat the bandit, obviously. Maybe knock him out first so he doesn't give us trouble. Floria's still inexperienced at eating people.

Clearly we should eat him and then throw him up so we can have a threesome with him and Fluffbirb. Oh wait...
Anyway, 'far as I'm concerned, Fluffbirb is a perfectly fine name for this critter.

Name the harpy Floof. Eat the bandit and see if we can fly while he's weighing us down, then make our way toward the Bandit fortress by whatever means possible. Probably best not to attack until we can fly, though. Maybe see if we can find the soldiers that were headed there.
Posted by Chaotiquos 9 years ago Report
I agree with Floof for the Harpy name, it's a very cute name ^^
Posted by YesImCanadian 9 years ago Report
I agree with both the plan and the name. We should try to do fast digestion as well, would definitely help.

I like all of this. Knock him out and strip him too please- we need the equipment.

Not shure about the soldiers though they might just attack on sight if you do you should perch on a high branch for safety.

EAT HIM, EAT THE INFIDEL, consider him as a sacrifice to us, the Hydra deity, not only have we been waiting for this moment, but this jerk has it comin. After that, there is absolutely no time to waste, we need to fly to Malor's square and get help to save Myla.....before you ask, we will ask our birbfriend to help us stay in the air as Floria makes her way there.
Oh,speaking of which here are a few suggestion for her new name:
Birbette
Bluefoot (play on words for, Blue footed booby)
and Finally "Ditzy" because she has been quite silly so far.

How bout Rein for the fluffbird
Posted by The-Lonely-Gamefreak 9 years ago Report
This guy's food. Though the harpy did catch him, she caught him for us, so it's fair to say he's all ours. However, this will slow us down and we are not sure if our new form is more capable than we were before with digesting rather larger meals. This could adhere to advancing to town or the camp sooner than we wish, but we need to eat.
As for a name... perhaps something like Mendia? Simple, no?
Posted by walkingbyself 9 years ago Report
Eat the arse hole and then be like all normal birds and perform the customary declaration of war and crap on their castle. THen return to town.
Posted by Xinless 9 years ago Report
As tempting as it is to drop him from a high altitude on their keep I would have to say eat him, if we are going to make a attempt on saving myla we need all the energy we can get. Also learn how our digestive system works with this new body. Might also be a good chance to test our mobility with one person. Since we should try to learn how much we can lift and maintain flight.
Thinking about it doesn't Edris now have that repeating crossbow that nysk had? That will pose a problem even if we do have flight...
Well birbs name should be somewhat simple so she can at least say it herself.... Ehh Tyra?
Posted by Thagrahn 9 years ago Report
Eat the dude, snag Edris by surprise, and drop that backstabber from a cliff.
Posted by Xinless 9 years ago Report
Idk since her line of work revolves around backstabbery we should have some tact in the next actions, though she does have a expectation of us being dead. So for now we shouldn't let any knowledge of our survival be given away
Posted by RavenXeo 9 years ago Report
~Birby~
Drop him off in Malor. Pick up something smaller so as not to weigh us down and some custom armour along with some reinforcements. Lets drop a train of hurt on that Wannabe bandit queen.
Posted by The Saint of Ravens 9 years ago Report
Whelp, that gives a lot of credence to somethign that I expected. Myla is the 'boss' that kept Edris from killing you after the ambush. Eat the bandit, then head back to town.
Posted by Jondo 9 years ago Report
Dang it Garrett, you had one job. I wanna get Myla out of there as soon as possible, but we cant with just the two of us. The best way to do that is to fly back to Malor and hope we can catch the soldiers headed to the fort. If not, we should talk with Marcus. It would be in his best interest to clear out the fort while they are still weak. Im sure either he or jates would loan us some equipment for us and Ms. Bluebirb.
Its dinner time for Floria. This bandit cant be allowed to let the others know Floria survived. Eat him and test to see how difficult it is to fly on a full stomach. Time is of the essence here so we should try to digest to a manageable size then fly back to town.
Good to know that ferals can be intelligent. Im not really sure how to word this question, but is there a way to uhh de-feralize our new friend? I dont see Marcus being too happy about us bringing a feral into his town.

Posted by puffaliaz 9 years ago Report
We should strip the bandit before ingestion - we could use stuff.
For name, howsabout "Rupert"? That's a good motherly name, right? :3
Posted by Kartomic 9 years ago Report
So Myla is being kept alive, either as bait or to torture her. Either way, we have confirmation that, for now, she's alive.
Firstly, knock the fucker unconscious, spare him the feeling of being eaten alive, then nom him. Next, but the harpy (who I propose we name Bluebell) and thank her for furthering our goal of revenge. Afterwards, see if flight is achievable with a full stomach, and if not, begin making our way back to Malor to hopefully meet up with the soldiers.
Posted by YesImCanadian 9 years ago Report
Hopefully they haven't turned Myla feral.
Depending on what time it is, we might see them going to the fort. If we do, I say land in front of them a bit and show them that we're not feral. Once we have there attention, tell them that the bandits know there coming.
We can ask them to wait while we do the business in town. Then we can scout for them. Hopefully the bandits won't be smart enough to look up.
Posted by DanuelF 9 years ago Report
Lol fluff brains!!!
Naw mabey Fluffy but I bet that others could make up better names.
As for our little captured freind I would like to see if you can learn from your real friend how you can digest him as quikly as Myla can if you let him go chances are that he'll be a liability.
As a meal shure his weight will be ungainly but maby some of him will go to youre flat chest.
Sorry Floria.

Suggestion for bird name: Azule
And the obvious thing to do now is to eat the bandit. AND NOT LET HIM OUT.
We know where the fort is, we know they have Myla. So eat the bandit, and then after the bandit is digested we should scout the fort since we can fly now.
Scout out, wait til dark, and then try to rescue Myla.
Posted by TotallyRandom 9 years ago Report
Tell him that this isn't even your final form. xD
Then knock him out, loot and eat him. After that try to put on his clothes. Some clothing should show the guards, that BirbFloria isn't feral and should prevent being attacked on sight.
Garret's escape could lead to problems for Floria, depending on what he told back in Malor. Siding with Bandits, even temporarily, won't fly well with the soldiers.
We should call Fluffbirb "Aello" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aello
Posted by YesImCanadian 9 years ago Report
Then let's just say that we were betrayed when we went to the fort. We don't have to tell them we were with bandits.
Posted by davidargall 9 years ago Report
Well, well, Mama is doing a good job of feeding her chick.
So explain to el lout that Mama unbirthed us, and then laid an egg we hatched out of. Now she is feeding her baby chick.
BUT he has a chance to avoid being digested, IF he does exactly as told. No guarantees, but he might survive if he obeys fully. Otherwise, he is just breakfast.
We remind him we ate Edris and then spit her out a few hours later. We intend to do the same thing to him. We expect the captain will be able to get some answers out of him, which makes his survival desirable, if he doesn't try to cause trouble. He will probably reluctantly do as told.
So he is to strip and lie down while we eat him May be wise to swallow head first. Mama may have to help out.
Once we have him down, we give Mama a hug and kiss, and start heading to town, wearing his clothes in whatever fashion will let any viewer know we are not just a wild harpy. Can't wear it properly since that would interfere with flying, but we should be able to get it to stay on.
We would like to fly, but with this passenger, we probably can't fly worth beans. So we likely walk, maybe trying to fly at times. As noted before, we try to take the road we expect the soldiers to take so we may meet them on the way.
Keep a close eye on Mama. She may not be the eating machine we have heard about ferals, but she is quite likely to dine on anybody we might meet if she gets hungry. So we got to get her fed with more conventional rations as soon as possible.
If we get all the way into town, take her to the inn and feed Mama. Then off to see the captain and report. If bandido is still alive, cough him up and see if he has more to say. There are several facts he ought to know
We offer to serve with the soldiers attacking the fort

First, answer his question with "I finally got my wings. Bv"
Then take his jacket off of him before eating him.
Then ask him a question he doesn't know the answer to, like "When is Bloop's birthday!?", then act like he's being eaten because he answered it wrong. That's how interrogations work. :v
Then eat him, and focus digest like Molar taught us. Good ol' Molar.
Then wear his jacket. We'd suit his jacket.
As for birb's name... Bloop. Name it Bloop.

On what to do, well looks like we have breakfast and I am betting transformation leaves one hungry.
Posted by davidargall 9 years ago Report
Oh yes, harpy name should be Mama, for obvious reasons.
And our meal is at an inconvenient time. Lugging around maybe 150 lbs has got to be bad for our flying/magic use/etc. As long as Myla is endangered, we want to be in top fighting form. So we need to stick to smaller meals.
And our thug knows some stuff we didn't get out of him. We want to pass that info on to the captain, which also means no digestion.
But there are problems with letting stay out of belly So eat him, but don't digest him. Hope he survives to be delivered to the captain.
