What the fuck is going on?!

And if someone doesn't get this bird away from me, I'm going to scream.

How could you possibly not be used to parrots? Have you never sent a message before?

Re: [audio parrot]

... Those are supposed to be messenger pigeons, not parrots.

[The parrot gives her a skeptical look that matches the tone of Koizumi's voice, though he also sounds kind of idly amused.] I'm not sure what island you've been living on.

Re: [audio parrot]

Is anyone sure of that?

The island you've been living on? Probably not, if you've never heard of using parrots as messenger birds.

I do know what island I've been living on, this past year. Wasn't hard to find, sailing in. It's getting out and staying there that appears to be the problem.

Riiight.

I'm curious - just what is it you're skeptical about?

Re: [audio parrot]

[twicecharmed]

Everything? Yeah, everything works.

Ah, my sympathies. Lunar fever is difficult to deal with. I hope you won't be offended I'll be avoiding you, though - I can't afford to lose my memory the same way.

You are so lucky I like you.

...I wasn't aware we'd met.

Re: [audio parrot]

Maybe you're the one who has lunar fever and thinks he's a pirate with a supernatural parrot.

Always, of course, a possibility. [Although that's clearly what he's doing, it's Koizumi, so he actually sounds genuine instead of simply like he's humoring her.] Though if I have lunar fever and you do not, why are the parrots true to my perception and memory, and not to yours? You can't deny they are carrying messages between us, which you seem to see as odd. They would hardly do so if they were simply my delusion.

And a supernatural parrot who just so happens to match with my delusional version of reality does seem a bit of a coincidence, doesn't it?

Re: [audio parrot]

I dealt with psychic magical monkeys. So the parrots are believable, but really annoying.

Also there were no pirates.

[audio parrot]

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

An admirably consistent worldview, to be sure.

Perhaps it will be a comfort to hear I am not actually a pirate. [Not anymore. Now he just steals from them.]

Re: [audio parrot]

[twicecharmed]

So what are you?

An entrepreneur.

That's a fancy word for shady business, buster.

[The parrot makes a mock offended noise.] My fair lady! Just what doth thou accuse me of?!

[tookthename]

That ain't nice, miss. Then the parrot would scream at all of us too.

[twicecharmed]

It's Missus, actually.

[tookthename]

You got a name to go with that Missus?

[twicecharmed]

Piper Halliwell.
