6th Bravery | Video
[The video post opens, and...yes, that's a small blue parrot with a tuft of red feathers atop his head and a pair of small, scaly blue arms locked in epic combat with a horde of angry toothpicks. He's doing quite well for being a parrot, despite the fact that some of the toothpicks are larger than he is. He's holding out one small hand, palm out towards the toothpicks, and firing blasts of gold energy at them.]
If I could request a bit of assistance...I do not know for certain how long I can keep this up--and there are innocents in the area!
[He gives the location of one of Locke's parks, one that's rather close to the Natural History Museum, and then squawks irritably and flies out of the frame as he dodges something that looks like a thrown exploding Altoid.]
((OOC: Torin will be responding to comments after he's done in the park, or your character can just jump in and help him, your call.))

-- well, whatever-that-thing-is, anyway!
With no weapons or magic powers to speak of, she comes equipped with the only thing she could think to take: a broom from the kitchen pantry.
When her eyes catch sight of the parrot-person from the network, her eyes light up and she immediately races towards him -- and the toothpicks currently engaged in attack.
"Take that!" With one swift motion, Lucy smacks the toothpicks with a quick thwap. For a brief moment, the toothpicks are left recumbent, though they quiver with fury. Lucy has just enough time to glance over at the parrot who called her here in the first place.
"Are you all right?" Her eyebrows are furrowed with concerned.

Re: action
Except there hadn't exactly been anyone else -- at least among the non-reincarnates -- that had been racing up to help them. And almost anyone could have done exactly what Lucy had done, even without access to special powers.
The duo don't have long to converse, as the toothpicks recover; they jolt upright so quickly that Lucy barely has time to react. She braces the broom in front of her, the way she might if she were brandishing a sword.
Except she doesn't have the slightest experience with swords at all, so everything -- from the way she's handling the broom to the way she's standing, is all incredibly awkward.
Regardless, she's going to fight!
"Get behind me!" she shouts at Torin. She doesn't want him getting hurt any more than he has already.

Lucy slams her broom into the toothpick aliens once more; some manage to dodge her attack entirely, but some are temporarily stunned by the attack. It's then that Torin's attack spirals towards them, taking down a few members of the miniature wooden army.
Those that somehow managed to endure Torin's attack, bounce with less vigor than their uninjured counterparts.
"Only a few more!" Lucy says, jumping back to narrowly avoid the prickly attack of some particularly enraged toothpicks. She slams the broom down into them once more, this time managing to break two of them clear in half.

--where it is promptly flattened by a passing car.
Lucy is huffing by the end of it; she's never been much of an athlete, so all of this has tired her out.
"I'm glad," she says, still gazing out into the street. "That we were able to defeat them!"
She turns to face the bird-creature, and her face brightens into a smile. "And I'm also glad you're okay! I'm Lucy," she says, extending a hand for him to shake. "It's good to meet you!"

Lucy had been relatively quiet on the network, and it was because of this that she hadn't had the opportunity to interact with many other Numbered. But so far, the three of them she has met have all been very nice!
"What kind of bird are you? I don't think I've seen anything quite like you before!"
