[This has taken some time for her to set up, as made obvious by the nervous twitching on the metal and jeweled wings on her back and her eyes are looking down at the keyboard of her laptop. She takes a deep breath before looking up,scratching at her arm a little bit]

Umm...I I wanted to say thank you to those who I was with when everything happened. Even if I did end up sneaking away and getting into trouble.

[She shifts a little bit, her wings chiming a little bit as she does.]

I...I want to ask if anyone know how to hide wings...Dad does not know about them yet..and I'm afraid to tell him about them or anything else. It doesn't have to be right away but..It's going to be too warm to wear a sweatshirt or a jacket over them soon. Besides, I want to make it past my birthday without him knowing!

[A quick glance away before she just smiles a little bit.]

Any ideas would be nice!

My girlfriend has a wing. Her success rate at hiding it is pretty low.

[Audio]

[prismaticdestruction]

I don't like the sound of that..how big is her wing?

Re: [Audio]

[dragon_blossom]

Big...ish? I dunno, big enough that she needs a heavy coat to hide it, and the weather doesn't really cooperate with that.

[Audio]

[prismaticdestruction]

Oh...That's the only way I've been hiding mine..and the sound they make is a bit muffled with that.

[Audio]

[dragon_blossom]

If it gets any warmer you'll stand out almost as much in a heavy coat. At least the wings have an explanation now.

[Audio]

[prismaticdestruction]

True..but Dad doesn't know that I'm part of it all yet.

maybe it'll get him to take it a lot easier then if her found out before now..

[Audio]

[dragon_blossom]

There's only so long you can hide it if you're growing wings. He'll find out, so I think he'd be happier if you told him.

[Audio]

[prismaticdestruction]

..I guess you are right..but what if he wants to make me take them off?

[Panicked fretting..She's way to used to the extremes.. Her wings are beating a lot in the background, instead of nice chiming..it's a bit hard to listen to.]

[Audio]

[dragon_blossom]

Do you think he'd try to rip them off? Aren't they a part of your body? At that point, if someone's trying to hurt you, call for help.

I don't think any but the worst father would do that, if they're really stuck.

[Audio]

[prismaticdestruction]

[Calming down a bit..]

I..I don't know. He didn't like it when things didn't work out good though back in France...but I hope not.

..I like my wings and I don't want to get rid of them.

[Audio]

[dragon_blossom]

There's a difference between that and actually hurting you.

[ She hopes. ]

You can keep your wings. Definitely.

[Audio]

[prismaticdestruction]

There is?

[It's really weird to ask a person she's known only over the network but...]

...Promise?

[Audio]

[dragon_blossom]

There definitely is. But if - this is a big if, because I don't want to talk like he's a bad guy or anything - if he or anyone else tries to hurt you over this, put out a message right away.

We'll help you keep your wings.

[Audio]

[prismaticdestruction]

Okay..I'll be sure to let someone know if it goes that way. I just don't know if I want to tell him yet.

[Still too used to everything being a huge secret.]

But..Thank you..I feel a little bit better about it.

[Audio]

[dragon_blossom]

Glad to hear it. Just remember we've got each other's backs.

[Voice]

[espigeonage]

If they're small enough to hide with clothing, you could probably start wearing vests.

[Voice]

[prismaticdestruction]

They aren't that big right now...but they keep growing. They are about half my size right now.

I dunno if I have any vests anyways.

[espigeonage]

Growing always makes for a problem. Some wings just can't be hidden.

You could pick some up.

[prismaticdestruction]

I kinda think mine are getting to that point.

I can try the next time I'm dragged out to do shopping.

[espigeonage]

You could get like a backpack and cut a hole for them in it, maybe. That'd really just work in public, and not all settings.

[prismaticdestruction]

I didn't think about that..but what about places they won't let me wear it? Like school?

[espigeonage]

You might need to talk to your principal or teacher or something. Get an exemption.

People... some people are freaked out about seeing wings. Really freaked out. But, that might just be because I'm me. You might do better.

[prismaticdestruction]

Hmmm..That's idea. Maybe they won't tell my Dad just yet.

I dunno...They look weird, even if they are really cool looking. Add in my teeth and I look kinda scary.

[espigeonage]

Maybe. People are more relaxed about these things now, compared to before. At least, I've not been arrested yet.

It probably depends who you talk to, too. And how they find out.

[prismaticdestruction]

Why would they arrest you? You seem like a nice person...More so then Mr. Bad Guy!

[..It's better to not ask more then likely...]

True..but I think it'd be scary talking to someone who smiled with sharp fangs..maybe? Sort of at least.

[espigeonage]

Mr... uh, well, it probably has to do with the claws and being like seven feet tall. People get concerned. Monster stereotypes, you know?

Depends again. Some people aren't that observant.

[charcoalfeather]

[There's a small gasp from this girl.]

You have wings!

[Video]

[prismaticdestruction]

[A shy giggle and a small smile as she spreads her wings out. They are about half her size right now.]

I do! I dunno when they came in but I like them. They remind me of lights and crystals.

[Video]

[charcoalfeather]

[She eyes the wings... and frowns momentarily.]

They're beautiful... but they don't look like the ones I've seen. I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to have wings too, but they're all feathery and stuff.

[Video]

[prismaticdestruction]

Huh...Feathery wings sound nice. Kinda like a bird's?

[Video]

[charcoalfeather]

Yeah, apparently.

I haven't seen anyone with those kind though, only fairy wings and other wings.

[Voice]

[gobybessie]

Just t-shirts aren't enough, I take it?

[Voice]

[prismaticdestruction]

They are kinda too big to hide under them..and it'd make them all lumpy and such.

[Voice]

[gobybessie]

So I figured.

Perhaps a cape. A little ridiculous, but it wouldn't be wings.

video

[not_good_not_wicked]

Those are some weird lookin' wings.

They look like they should glow. Do they glow?

video

[prismaticdestruction]

They are..but they act like wings so I guess they work. I was flying after all!

[A pause and a thoughtful look.]

I..think so? I kinda remember some rainbow light lighting up a bit of a dark room in a memory I got back.

Re: video

[not_good_not_wicked]

Shouldn't have to rely on memories or echoes to figure that out. I mean, they're right there right? Can't you just turn off the lights and see?

[Audio]

[dead_black_eyes]

They look metallic. How flexible are they?

[Video]

[prismaticdestruction]

[just because she found it easier to show instead of say, You get a video of her wings acting much lick normal wings..and then wrapping around her.]

A lot!

[Audio]

[dead_black_eyes]

That should make it easier, then.

You can get a specially made harness to hold them down. I know a guy who's a great welder.
