Second Bullet; [Video | Mirror]

[dyingtohealyou]

Alright, I give.

[Akito is sitting in his seat, arms crossed, with a cardboard box to the side on his desk. For those that have seen him before, his eyes seem a little... different.]

Does anyone know anything about contacts? Specifically, colored ones. I got some cheaper ones, but they hurt my eyes and I can barely see. I don't know how else to explain to my parents about my new eye color - wearing colored contacts to make them this color is a little too weird. I doubt they'd buy it.

[He's spent too much time testing their limits to know what will and won't fly. And speaking of flying...]

Also, has anyone noticed all the sick birds around town? I haven't heard anything about the sickness, but this guy was sitting outside my door when I came back today.

[It's here that he picks up the box, tipping it just enough to show a very still bundle of feathers covered in part by a towel. He gently puts a hand on the cloth and reaffirms that it is indeed still alive when it gives a weak flutter in response. Satisfied, Akito will set the box to the side again.]

I'm not really sure what to do with it. It definitely looks diseased, but I've got no idea if it's something humans can catch or not.

[He leans back thoughtfully before saying one last thing.]

Hey-- Nick, right? Sorry, I got kind of busy. Would you still be up for lessons sometime?

i guess they sell some contacts in the mall, someone bought me some when my eyes went weird.

You need colored contacts too? Man...I didn't know they could be hard to see through, that makes it harder to figure out what to do...

I wish I could help, but, well. I guess I'm in the same boat as you.

getting fitted for the lenses could help
it could be an issue of a bad fit
also an optometrist can help you find a brand that you like

and i hadnt been aware of the bird issue
perhaps call a vet? :/?

[Yikes.]

Different hair doesn't seem so bad in comparison.

Are you okay? [He'll address the bird issue in a minute.]

Sick birds?

Sick birds around town?

[Regina asks in bewilderment, and she has to backtrack for a moment to remind herself of what happened this afternoon. Soft and weak cooing from a small flock of pigeons instantly sparks a look of realization across her face as she combs her fingers idly through her red hair.]

You know, I did stumble upon a few of them right by my apartment. They were barely using their wings, and I noticed the tips of their beaks were brown.

[She shakes her head with a pursed frown.]

I didn't bother to touch them in case whatever they have is contagious.

[espigeonage]

I'm lucky this way. My sister's in on this, and I already dye my hair, so contacts aren't a stretch. I just have to be careful about my pupils and eyelids. But I know of a couple online stores that are supposed to be good with custom ones, I have friends who swear by them. Should I hit you with the links?

Sick birds...

If you're worried about covering the price for good lenses, just ask me. Same for the rest of you. I've got the funds to cover if anyone's short.

...Sick birds, huh?

[soulsborderline]

Did you bring a sick bird into your house?

Oh and the weird eyes thing is super-common, apparently. At least they aren't red.

[video]

[ladyofluminosity]

I hadn't really noticed, no. I don't think you should keep him, though. Isn't there a clinic that's supposed to take care of that sort of thing? The LSR was it?

[Well, damn. It hit Akito, too.]

Are your eyes okay though? [...Wait.] Besides the freaky color!

[Then a pause and...] And your parents haven't seen the bird, have they?

[handwritten]

[detectivetroll]

Yeah, it's Nick. And no problem, man, I got pretty busy myself. I'm still up for it.
