GOOOOOOD MORNING SUNSHINE!
Who: Rufus
When: Early morning, Malfunction day: DINOSAUR INVASION!
Where: Rufus' Room, outside Rufus' room.
Ratings: PG
Warnings: Short log is short. Possibly some offense to quail-lovers. It's not a quail, though.
Summary: Rufus has a morning visitor. He's very not happy about this. The shortest log ever.
"Klik klik-lik-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-TAK-TAK-T
Rufus woke instantly.
The room was impenetrably black, but he didn't need to see to know that something was very wrong. There was a weight on his chest, heavy and warm with life, and what felt like coarse feathers tickled his skin where the blanket ended at his collarbone.
It took a beat for him to process what that meant.
Then with a sharp cry of alarm that was echoed by the thing on his chest, Rufus lunged out of bed in a stumbling flurry of sheets and feathers and riotous protests.
"TRAAAK! AK! AK! TIK-TIK TRAAAAAAWK! TIK-TIK TRAAAAAWK!"
A series of quick slaps at the wall missed the light switch beside his bed, so with a frustrated growl he set out for the slit of light creeping in under the door. Fortunately for his shins everything in the room was cushioned to hell, or he'd have been nursing a few impressive bruises.
"Tak-tak-tak-taaaaaawk-tuk-tuk-tuk-TAAAAA
One last leaping step and his palm found the doorknob in one swipe, wrist turning. The portal banged open and he stumbled out into the hall in nothing but his sweatpants and fell into a ready stance as he turned to face the darkened interior of his room.
Something was scratching its way toward him. Rufus, watching intently, nearly jumped out of his skin when a beak popped out into the light. It was about level with his knee, and as the rest of the tiny, feathery head bobbed forward, swiveling about to peer at him with one eye at a time, the President began to relax his fighting stance, and instead pinched the bridge of his nose against an impending headache.
What the hell was it? A... quail, maybe? There had been a stuffed quail at the mansion in Nibelheim when he was a boy, but that had been many years ago, and the morbid thing had smelled, so Rufus hadn't ever bothered inspecting it closely. He didn't think it had been as big as this thing, though. In fact... the more he looked at it, the less like a bird it seemed. But it had feathers, didn't it?
The real question, however, was why was it in his room?
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk," it muttered at him, before turning around and disappearing back into the darkness.
"Hey. Hey! Out of there!"
Maybe it was a turkey?
He followed it back into his room.
((ooc: Say hello to Caudipteryx zoui. Rufus' fail "quail" assessment is based on that picture. ^^;; Caudi is about yay big.))
