YOU'RE THE MOST ! // art credit : 1 + 2 .

another year of waiting.... it had just passed the eighth year mark a few hours ago (two hours, 23 minutes and 45 seconds to be exact), and it made her metaphorical skin crawl. was this... really it? just, to stay here. stuck, confined to one single gate for all time?? there was a spark of hope somewhere deep in her thought stream but, deep down, mollie knew no one was coming back.

she desperately needed a distraction, something to keep her mind off this. and so, she activated one of the cameras viewing over the entrance.

" hey, rambley ! wanna play i spy ?? "

she calls out throughout the limited network space they had access to.

crimson slowly pours onto the floor, trickling out of the gaping wound of the creature's neck. the white irises slowly fade away, until the eyes are nothing but black spheres. viscera clings to the wall, slowly dripping down like tears from an eye.

despite the horrific scene facing both of them, the raccoon on the monitor attempts his best to ignore it in his speech to the unfortunate visitor. an apology, followed by a request; to fix the park... and then, as rambley excitedly reacts to ed's answer, the screen glitches. a horrific shrill sound, screeching, emanating from the speakers. like nails on a chalkboard.

the static gives way, revealing the blue dotted background once more... but no fuzzy companion in sight, replaced by an animated macaw in pilot's gear, lying face first against the... ground? using her wings to prop herself up, mollie's head sways from side to side with dizzy spirals in her eyes before violently shaking her head around like a wet dog.

" golly ! i haven't woken up like that since that time in rambleberry woods... whew ! .... wait, where... ? "

the bird looks behind herself, staring at the infinite background that encapsulates the screen while she finally stands up. a turn to the left, her frown grows. to the right, eyebrows furrow in worry.

she turns to face the screen, and her eyes lock onto ed. widening slightly, a wing is raised, her beak opens to say something... before she registers the red around the floor to his side, and she turns to--

" SQUAAAAWWWWKKKKKK !!!! "

she jumps away, and the screen violently glitches again. the light in the room flickers, and both doors suddenly slam open as another shrill squawk emanates from the monitor just outside. on it, the visage of mollie macaw, panicking and hyperventilating, lies leaning against the borders of the screen. wings wrapped around herself and eyes held tight together. woops.

laughing ? okay, well, he's clapping too so he might not be laughing at her. right ? a wing sheepishly rubs the back of her head, while the other reaches out to take the bunny's hand, pulling herself up to the ground.

" nothin' feels broken, at least... "

she swings her wings back and forth, before hopping on both legs. listening for any cracks or pops from her mechanisms... but nothing ! haha, nothing can stop mollie macaw ! whew... head tilts up, glancing back at the railing.

" oh, yeah ! i was trying to see if i could get to the other side of the room from there, but, uhm... guess i was a bit more tuckered out from flyin' around the daycare to make it.... but i will, someday! "

a triumphant finger in the air and closed eyes as she states her case, before looking back down to the other animatronic, offering a wing once more.

" mollie macaw, at your service ! you must be bonnie, right ?? they were talkin' bout you while i was starting up ! "

MOTION DETECTED.

...wait, what ? no, no, it must be another fox or other wild animal that managed to sneak in. like the other times. no use checking it, it's not like it ever-- ...against her better judgement, and the disappointment that every other time that internal alarm went off, she peered through the camera by the main gate. it's light flicking on, and turning to look down at A HUMAN ? she processes the camera's view again, and again, and again. but nothing changes, no, that is a real genuine person at the gate again. and all at once, various emulated emotions run through her code. maybe this is it ! the moment she's been waiting for so, so long... someone who could help her, maybe even... maybe even bring back...... she has to act, now !

the tall monitor that stands beside the gate flickers to life, static overtaking it for just a moment before it settles on an image of an overjoyed 2d macaw spreading her wings wide as the park's logo descends to rest just above her.

" HEEEEEEEEEEELLLLO THERE ! and welcome to INDIGO PARK !! you're our first guest in-- "

a violent flash of static takes over the screen once more, before cutting back to the pilot. she seems... dazed? her eyes spin in circles for a moment before she shakes her head and looks back to the visitor with a sheepish smile on her beak.

" ...awhile, heheh.... still need to get that down. "

@barnstormin liked for a starter for Laura Sparks!

✨Laura hadn't heard from Ed in a while... which was concerning for various reasons. Especially since normally, he would keep her updated on his findings... Or his failures. Shaking her head, she let out a breath as she began to make her way towards the front of the park since she had gotten in the same way that Ed had. Biting the inside of her cheek, she stopped at the gates of the park. Okay... she could do this.

sorry for disappearing for a few days, yall.

had a PC move, a buncha technical issues that came with that, combined with some minor identity thinkings and the like kinda sinked my motivation to write for a bit but i have coffee, a mollie macaw fansong that just dropped and a dream so. let's try and get this plane back in the air!

[barnstormin]

@braveburned asked: "do you mind? I'm tryin' to hide here, and they're definitely gonna notice if you're hanging around!" never mind that he's supposed to be banned from the daycare!

" hide ? what are you... "

and then, as if an invisible lightbulb flicked on above her head, the animatronic vocalizes a small gasp.

" ooooh, i see ! you're playing hide and seek !! apologizes for the confusion, young 'un, i didn't know playtime was still going on ! "

she clearly hasn't gotten the memo about the ban.... or a few other things it seems. she turns around to walk away in a very non-conspicuous manner, i assure you, before stopping to turn around and give the boy a wink and a double feather-thumbs-up.

" good luck ! "

she stage-whispers, before slinking off.

headcanon. // "it barely hurts at all!"

non-rp blogs DNI.

one detail about the rambley's railway ride i don't see brought up often, especially in discussions of mollie as a whole, is this particular line from her talk about "barnstorming":

"It barely hurts at all!"

so. obviously barely doesn't mean not at all, but she also stutters a little at the start of saying that. as if she's hesitant... or lying. and i think that says a lot about her, at least her cartoon character version.

you know those type of characters who always insist they're okay and fine and dandy, even though they're clearly hurt, because they don't want others to worry about them? or to be seen as lesser? yeah.... yeah.

i mean, after all. she's mollie macaw, the greatest pilot you ever saw! she's gotten back up from all those crashes with nary a scratch! don't pay attention to that small gasp of pain, that clutch of a wing or the fact that she might not be as quick to join the next group activity the next day. she's fine! she ALWAYS gets back up, and nothing can stop her whatsoever.

do yall see The Vision.

The first 5 Asks to send 💋 get a kiss

[barnstormin]

anonymous asks: You know, if you hadn't helped spark up my interest in aviation as a kid, I might not be an ATC officer now!

unprompted asks : always accepting!

a small gasp from the flat screen hanging on the wall in front of them, wings coming up to her beak before she lets out a squee of excitement !

" oh gosh, really ?? ooooh, i'm SO PROUD of you, youngster ! i'm glad that this great lil pilot over here has been able to inspire folks like you, i'd love to see you fly sometime ! "

. . .

" if i can... get out of here, that is ! "

[barnstormin]

anonymous asks: ☕ + Is that a bootleg Mollie plush...? No, it's handmade by this particular anon!

Send ☕ for my muse to rant about something in character

for a moment, she has to stare at the soft little thing planted in her wings by the person, until it clicks as she registers the various colored "feathers" and pilot gear.

" you made a lil' plushie ?? for me ??? OF me ?????? "

feathered fingers rub along the various stitching lines as she admires the small replica of herself. is that... oh, yeah, those are small tears pricking out from the corners of her eye as the corners of her beak wobble in a smile. ( wait, can beaks do that-- )

" this might just be one of the best things i've ever been given ! thank you so much !! "

the macaw brings the plush closer, hugging it against her chest as she lets out some very happy coos.
