Hey. I'm new here. My name's Tobias. I figured I'd introduce myself before I'm in the classroom, so that no one thinks they're going crazy. See, I'm a red-tailed hawk, not a human. So if you see a big bird with a pretty red tail indoors or flying around, keep in mind it might not be a normal animal.

That's all. Thanks.

I hadn't seen a sentient hawk before! But it's good to meet you, anyway! I, um, well, I don't entirely know if I'm a human myself, so I... feel that??? [She tries.]

I see. Wait. This is... probably very rude, but how do you do schoolwork when you're a bird?

[soft_focus]

Why would that be weird?

[The tolerance for the Odd is high with this one.]

Oh, my name is Reira.

[hawkwardness]

Neither have I. I'm the only one that I know of.

I'm not going to judge you either way.

[hawkwardness]

We'll work something out, I hope? I'll write on this thing instead of paper, it's all the same in the end.

[hawkwardness]

For one, I'm not normal where I'm from. I don't know any other hawks who think.

[ahew_kha]

One of a kind, then? That's... a little sad, I suppose.

And I... appreciate that, I'm still trying to figure out which way things go.

Oh, I'm Kisara, by the way!

[soft_focus]

That's not very nice to other hawks...

[stavros]

My apologies. You probably hear this all the time. And asking how you type.

[hawkwardness]

They don't think like I do, is that better?

[hawkwardness]

Not really. The whole secrecy thing, I don't talk to people.

I'm not typing, I'm dictating.

[hawkwardness]

It's not so bad. Hawks live alone most of the time anyway.

[ahew_kha]

Isn't it a little odd to be in a place with so many people, then?

[soft_focus]

I guess.

I haven't seen a lot of hawks here. Mostly there's just pigeons. They like to sit on the statues since they can see more there, and people leave food.

Was the place you came from 'normal'? Everyone here says that the only 'normal' place is 'earth', but everything here just seems boring and

I don't know the english word it just 'stays the same' all the time.

[stavros]

A life of isolation, then. A microcosm of the suffering in this universe. Most of us couldn't go three hours studying without needing a break to talk to someone.

there a lot of talking hawks that know how to use phones out there?

Oh, hey! I'm Doreen.

Er, I don't want to make any assumptions about your dietary habits? But since red-tailed hawks generally do eat small rodents, could you not eat any of the squirrels here? They're my friends.

Also, they're pretty organized at this point. They'd probably end up making you regret trying.

[hawkwardness]

I'll get used to it. I'll have to.

[hawkwardness]

Suffering's a bit much. I'm not complaining, it is what it is.

[hawkwardness]

I'm from Earth. It's the only normal I know. Where are you from that's not Earth?

Monotonous? I think.

[hawkwardness]

No, just me. Far as I know.

[hawkwardness]

Are you serious? Organized?

[ahew_kha]

... Hopefully you have a better time of it than I did. [Not really her fault she kinda went outside of school grounds and became a pissed off dragon her first day, really.]

Either way, if you need anything, feel free to let me know. If I don't know the answer, I probably know someone who does?

[marmoron]

as far as you know?
you the last of your clan or something?

[soft_focus]

The doctors said I'm from earth.

I just wasn't in the monotonous spots for the parts I remember. They said those spots were the outlands.
