i know it's the smell of festering carrion that draws them and not death itself, but i think it'd be fun if crows (and other corvidae) could sense ghosts, even unseen. just imagine the surreal horror of watching a flock of dark wings circling a complete void of presence.

my buddy told me winged beasts have been amassing in the hills recently and there's nothing anybody anywhere can do about it cause shit's already in motion

Why are there so many options for dresses and cakes and. Lord. Maybe we do need a planner. It's hard enough trying to juggle three children and planning all of this out at the same time.

Ah. So this was....accidental, I take it.

[Not that many people were trying to end up in an angry mother's nest, he reckoned, but even still. Tikhas listened as Melinoe spoke, twitching their tail back and forth as a kind of nervous habit as they mulled her speech over.]

Yeah. Sorry that this is your first impression of all of us. Had to be a bit of a shock. And....let's see. If you really want to get back to your home dimension, Mikey or Leo might be able to help you. They're the best at making transport circles, though I'm not exactly sure how well they can go across dimensions. If you have a clear picture of where you want to end up in mind, supposedly it's a little easier. Donnie would be able to help you ordinarily, but her magic reserves are....going towards the babies right now.

[Soft sigh.]

But hey. Neither of us want you to be stuck here. So we'll do whatever we can to assist.

A fizzle of golden lightning manifests a short little form hidden within golden glittering smoke, with the clear silhouette of horns, wings and a long tail. The only clear feature being a pair of violet eyes.

The form looks around in curiosity.

"Well....this isn't good."

HISSSSSSSSSS.

[Mel suddenly had a very pissed off looking turtle staring at her, curling her lips back over her teeth. It seems Mel ended up in an expectant mother's nest, and she wasn't very happy about it if the look on her face was any indication.]
