Parrots make everything better!

Who: Torin and you!
What: Torin's getting his affairs in order before things get crazier. He's going to get the parrots he grew up with out of the zoo and settle them inside his giant robot dinosaur. Such a normal day.
Where: Locke City; namely the zoo, Espresso Yourself, and inside the shiny new Spirit Base that is now inside Bragigas.
When: After the moon turns into a giant snake.


[A - At the Zoo]
Torin is not dressed in the robes he normally favors, the outfit he Echoed back before taking his current form. Ever since he'd transformed into his other self's true form, he'd visited various tailors throughout Locke. Upon finding one who was up for a bit of a challenge and not too weirded out by a bird-dinosaur-man, Torin had some clothing made. There were copies of those original robes, as well as a few that took different colors into account. There was also a suit, for Torin thought he might want it for special occasions. Though he does look nice in his suit, he is also imposing in his suit. The briefcase he's carrying his GigaGaburevolver in likely isn't helping matters much, but he hopes it makes him look businesslike.

But he's an ex-parrot on a mission. Big things are going down, and Torin has taken a brief moment from fussing over the newly-enlarged Bragigas to take care of some important business. He's going to bust the other parrots out of the zoo. He's on his way to the zoo offices now to declare his intent and attempt to negotiate for the purchase of his brothers and sisters, but if that doesn't work, he won't hesitate to waltz into the aviary and do what he has to.

The world is changing, and he very much wants to keep those parrots safe.



At the Spirit Base, Open to Close CR
Getting the parrots settled in their new home is rather important to Torin. Granted, he's still getting settled there as well. Bragigas had gone through a major growth spurt after the moon had gone crazy, and with that growth spurt had come the Kyoryugers' spirit base within him. Torin knew that was where his other self lived before, and so that's where he's planning on living now.

Though the timing could be better, Torin is still willing to take a quick moment to show the place off to his friends. Besides, he needs to give Bragigas's Beast Batteries time to recharge, just in case things get through the moon-snake's defenses.



Outside Espresso Yourself
Torin has a lot of fond memories of this place. He doesn't know if the poor old coffee shop will be able to last this current round of trouble, but that doesn't stop him from taking a brief rest atop the building late that night. One last perch? Perhaps.

He sits there for a moment, listening to the sounds of the city, and he starts to sing. It's a song he remembers, one that brought him back from a very bad place. Though he's singing in Japanese, he hopes that the meaning of it still carries through. The birdman's melody carries through the wind, and he's receptive to speaking with anyone who might be curious.

Espresso Yourself

Lazarus doesn't know why he's here. Under the strange and unsettling visage of the moon, it's clear that they're poised on the eve of something enormous, and he's spent the evening cleaning the shop as if ensuring that things go smoothly for whoever opens in the morning. He wipes down machines, tables, mops the floor and then the walls and ceilings. He shreds every bit of paperwork that isn't readily relevant and ensures that every single mug and glass sparkles.

When it comes down to it, he's not sure that he can leave. Whatever hits Locke City, where he's spent his entire life, what if he can't leave what he's built even if it means his safety?

He thinks about the accounts of the Titanic sinking. Maybe he could put on some music, give arranged notes one last chance to impress him in the event that all hope is lost and all humanity can do is flee or welcome death.

He steps outside to carry out the trash and light up a cigarette when he hears a song in Japanese coming from the roof. He cranes his neck, attempting to see who's up there, though he is sure he recognize the voice.

"...Torin?"

Two children stand in front of the monkey area, watching as the monkeys swing forth and back. When the girl spots Torin, she waves at him. "Hello, Mr Bird!" After all they've met before.

Lazarus holds his breath as Torin takes off, exhaling in the opposite direction of the bird man so as to be polite when he lights on the ground next to him.

"You never could," he replies earnestly. "What were you singing, just now? I haven't heard it before, but... that doesn't necessarily mean anything, as I'm not usually one for music at all."

[Arthur watched from the sidelines, wearing a nice suit and sunglasses.

Obviously, he was there to help Torin deal with any madness that would ensue if things went south...for the winter.]

"A prayer?"

He sounds sad when he says it, more than his somber voice usually does.

"If you know one that can save lives, say it as many times as you can. I feel we're in for something devastating, and my relationship with God isn't such that I feel I can ask for deliverance with any success."

"We wanted to see all the animals before they're dead." The boy of the pair speaks up, and then tilts his head a bit. "You don't look like an Earth animal."

Lazarus looks a little dazed at the revelation of what the invocation actually is. It's beyond him, like so many things that the more powerful Numbered get back. As if often the case, he is baffled and paralyzed by the description, but he nods and smiles all the same, or at least gives it his best effort.

"If it helps, who am I to condemn it?" he asks, taking a deep drag on his cigarette and ashing on the pavement. "Courage won't be in sort supply, but I worry that strength will be."

"Everything on Earth will die."

His sister shakes her head and corrects: "Unless it surrenders and leaves Earth, then there is a chance."

"But to surrender, they need to be able to communicate, and those animals aren't developed enough for that. So they will die and we have to look at them now."

Uh. [A single sound tore apart his illusion of cool.]

I mean, it's up to you, dude. I thought it'd help.

The girl nods. "She can fight, but will she win?"

The boy shakes his head. "I don't think so. She is strong, but doesn't have very many fighters on her hands."

"They aren't that weak." Both siblings speak almost in unison this time, but only the sister continues. "But you will probably not go down immediately." Do they speak the truth or do they just overestimate their side's battle power? It's probably the latter at that age, but who knows...

"Have you?" he does seem heartened, if only a little bit. Then again, he's seen proof of Torin's strength and past a certain point, it's all beyond what he could ever dream of anyway.

"Do you really think so? You have a lot of faith in Bragigas' abilities, and I'm... glad. It inspires my own faith, but you've always been good at that."

I dunno. I mean, if you're into doing prison breaks, suits oughta be a part of the uniform, right...?

"...We will see."

"Literally." The girl shrugs and looks at the caged animal again. "Unless we die too early on. Non-combatants always die first in times of war."
