MOST ICONIC BIRD CALL BRACKET: THE FINALE: MOURNING DOVE vs. AMERICAN CROW.

these two combatants need no introduction. they've left a trail of destruction in their wake leading up to this. 32 birds, whittled down to just two.

THE MOURNING DOVE. embodiment of elegance and tranquility. its subtle beauty is a sight to behold. a voice that enchants the soul. a creature of resilience and adaptability. this is truly the peoples' bird.

THE AMERICAN CROW. a competitor that will leave you in awe with its enigmatic presence. it possesses unmatched intelligence, able to solve complex puzzles and exhibit remarkable problem-solving skills. and, of course, the caw. an unbeatable opponent.

"Oh Abelard! I must do that paper work! you've been hoarding all of it. FOr SHAME. THis is my calling I love PAPERWORK! best early birthday gift!" attempts to shoo the other away from the desk. -Dodomedic

He opened his mouth. He promptly closed his mouth. A confused little noise escaped him as he tried to figure out what was going on here. "I did not take you as liking paperwork," he calmly pointed out, standing from his desk. "Ah-- wait, birthday? Is it your birthday?"

[zecuddlyblumedic]

Abel? That's a lot of paperwork. You want me to help? Just tell me what I need to do. :) THE SOONER WE GET THIS DUMB PAPERWORK OUT OF THE WAY THE SOONER WE CAN DO SOMETHING FUN. THAT IS NOT PAPERWORK.

Abelärd gave a soft little laugh as he patted a particularly thick stack, threatening to fall over. "Unfortunately... I do not know how much you can help, liebe. This," he ran a finger down the edges of the papers, "is all medical based. Unless you want to talk to me while I work. That might make the process go faster."

And keep him awake. Two cups of tea in, and he was exhausted.

[zecuddlyblumedic]

Quite surprised at the earnest offer to part with a dove or two, he gave an airy and warm laugh that was just as inviting and comforting as his tea. Taking up a pfeffernüsse, he considered it for a moment, glancing over at his three mourning doves, slumbering away. “Perhaps I might. Although, if they are doves that require certain, ah, how is the best way to put this...” He took a sip of his tea, mulling over the English words required. “Ah, if they are high maintenance, you must tell me what I would need to do in order to take care of them.”

A young soldier, playing pranks? Now, Abelärd would have expected that to be coming from a scout, not a soldier. But, regardless, he listened to the trouble doctor regale the details of the annoying prank, and he couldn’t help a small chuckle.

“Now that... ah, well, that sounds problematic. Even more, since you have doves. You don’t want them breathing in or ingesting the glitter.” Running a fingertip along his teacup, he watched how to blue latex contrasted with the gentle amber tones of the tea. 

He took a sip when he heard the comment.

I suppose you’d be zhe wrong man to ask for any suggestions, being as good-natured as you are.

In a serene manner, he set the teacup down on its plate.

“There are some... who would warn you such notions are silly,” he admitted carefully. His gray-blue eyes were oddly hard as he held his gaze, and gave him a sweet smile. Kindness and ice contrasted in a strange juxtaposition. “If you ask my brother on RED, he’ll likely tell you a different story. Although,” tactfully he added with a small placating gesture of his hand, “I try to remain as good natured as possible. This world has enough hatred in it. However,” his voice dropped, taking on a strange edge to it, “people have many chapters to their books. It is hard to tell what story they have until you start reading it.” With a cheery flash of a a warm smile, his voice returned to normal as his eyes grew soft and merry once more. “Oh, I do love helping others. If there is anything I can do, I could possibly speak with him... or help you come up with a prank of your own.”

"Er, hallo. Zhis is... awkward..." Ignatz had come to this base to escape the fireworks, only to find more fireworks going off here. "Uh, do you happen to have any spare chloroform? Someone stole mine and I'm hoping to find a sleep aid. Somezhing zhat will keep me unconscious until, ohh... August 1st, perhaps?"

"C--Chloroform?" Abelärd's eyes widened behind his glasses, and a look of utter concern washed over him. Quietly he approached the other Medic, and with a soft, placating gesture, he motioned for him to sit down. "Ah, I am not going to prescribe you anything zhat vill make you fall into any sort of coma, but," he cleared his throat, feeling his accent rise up just a little in his state of concern, "how about we talk? I can make you tea, and I have some cookies here. Tell me what is wrong, and I will do my best to help you."

[zecuddlyblumedic]

if you are really 53 why do you act like your 70 something and your brother acts like a moody teen?

Abelärd wearily rubbed his temples before gesturing towards the surface of his desk. It was piled high with paperwork.

Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura)

May 3, 2023

Southeastern Pennsylvania

[zecuddlyblumedic]

Whether or not Abelärd knew the given name was false, it was hard to tell. His expression did not falter, not his smile fade, so, surely this man took the name as intended. “Ah, dove breeder?” He looked over towards his mourning doves. Three of them now. His eyes settled on a particular sweet male dove, cuddled right up to its mate, and he contentedly sighed as he stirred a drop of honey into his tea. “Fascinating! Why, I have never seen Java or, ah, what did you call them? ‘Bleeding hearts’? I have never seen those!” Interest piqued, he couldn’t help but scoot his chair closer to the table, so he could better share in this riveting conversation. “I only have mourning doves. A mated pair and their one remaining child. I would love to see your doves! A--Ah, well,” he sheepishly curled his hands around his warm teacup, “only if you permit me, of course.”

Hearing the man’s plight of being a target of pranks, it was hard to say whether or not he believed it. But surely he had, for his expression became soft and sympathetic. He dropped his voice to a gentle whisper. “Es tut mir schrecklich leid.” As if to further bolster his apology, he slid the plate of baked goods towards him. “I used to be a target of pranks. However,” his tone hardened suddenly, “I have only become a target for testing one’s strength. Many come to my infirmary now to start a fight. I am strictly a healer,” he filched a snickerdoodle before cheerily adding, “but, I excel at combat.” 

"Er, hallo. Zhis is... awkward..." Ignatz had come to this base to escape the fireworks, only to find more fireworks going off here. "Uh, do you happen to have any spare chloroform? Someone stole mine and I'm hoping to find a sleep aid. Somezhing zhat will keep me unconscious until, ohh... August 1st, perhaps?"

"C--Chloroform?" Abelärd's eyes widened behind his glasses, and a look of utter concern washed over him. Quietly he approached the other Medic, and with a soft, placating gesture, he motioned for him to sit down. "Ah, I am not going to prescribe you anything zhat vill make you fall into any sort of coma, but," he cleared his throat, feeling his accent rise up just a little in his state of concern, "how about we talk? I can make you tea, and I have some cookies here. Tell me what is wrong, and I will do my best to help you."

[zecuddlyblumedic]

“Is this so?”

Abelärd cheekily reached out and slipped the bomb pop out of his hands, just as he pulled it from his mouth. With his own impish little smile, he stuck it in his mouth.

"Hey, babe." Casually leaning in the doorframe. Sucking on a bomb pop. Happy 4th of July indeed.

Abelärd gives a tiny little cough and a clearing of the throat, but nothing can hide the coloring to his cheeks or the tiny upturn of his lips, betraying a smile.

"Happy 4th. Fireworks, as usual?"

[zecuddlyblumedic]

Neither confirm or deny those allegations? Abelärd looked back towards Fritz, and the look he gave him was rather sassy.

“I see. Excuse me a moment.”

With a spry burst of speed, Abelärd dashed over to the coat rack and took up his own coat and scarf. Shouldering the infirmary doors open, he pulled them on as he quickly made his way out of the base.

"Abel, I'm definitely not going out to do that thing you told me not to do to, okay great bye!"

In a bold maneuver, Fritz attempted to slide his skinny frame right past Abelärd's and through the medbay doors, winter coat in hand.

A hand firmly clamped down on Fritz's arm and, despite the older gentleman being far smaller, he had a surprising amount of strength and managed to keep him rooted in place.

There was a long sigh that sounded ever suffering, and with a deliberate motion Abelärd pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. With a cold sternness he allowed his eyes to settle on the winter coat, clutched in his hand.

"You have some chutzpah to try and rush out of this infirmary while making such a poor attempt at feigning innocence." He raised an eyebrow, and with firmness and a heavy slip of his accent, he added, "and vhat are we not doing? Vhat was zhe one thing I told you not to do? Hmmm?"

[zecuddlyblumedic]

He could have jumped at the sympathetic quip and the comment about being tied down to one person being akin to a prison, but he did not. Instead, he softly shook his head and gave a light and airy chuckle. 

“I admit, all I need are my doves, time to bake and quality time to paint. But... as we know, this job is not kind with free time.” He took time to place a teacup of tea in front of him, along with the small jar of honey and a bit of milk. He settled down across from him with a cup of his own, and placed in the middle of the table a plate of cookies and other such baked goods.

“Ahhh, because you are in red, and I am in blue?” He quirked a little charming smile at that. “Perhaps this is wrong of me, but once the scheduled battles are over, they become colors to me once more. Simply that. I find there’s enough hostility in this world that I view someone of the opposite team as the human they are.” He took up the milk and added a dollop to his tea. “I have had many attack me in my infirmary. And I tend to readily deal with them.” A funny little smile formed as he held out his hand to him, for shaking. “ What rude manners! I’m Abelärd Haswell. My twin is on RED.”

"Er, hallo. Zhis is... awkward..." Ignatz had come to this base to escape the fireworks, only to find more fireworks going off here. "Uh, do you happen to have any spare chloroform? Someone stole mine and I'm hoping to find a sleep aid. Somezhing zhat will keep me unconscious until, ohh... August 1st, perhaps?"

"C--Chloroform?" Abelärd's eyes widened behind his glasses, and a look of utter concern washed over him. Quietly he approached the other Medic, and with a soft, placating gesture, he motioned for him to sit down. "Ah, I am not going to prescribe you anything zhat vill make you fall into any sort of coma, but," he cleared his throat, feeling his accent rise up just a little in his state of concern, "how about we talk? I can make you tea, and I have some cookies here. Tell me what is wrong, and I will do my best to help you."

[zecuddlyblumedic]

“And we are supposed to get snow tonight,”  Abelärd sternly replied, tone edged with concerned coldness. He lifted his hand and, standing on his tiptoes, he patted his cheek. “Zeiskeit.” He sighed, and his mouth fell back into the frown of a disappointed father. “You both will have to deal with this ‘leaf water’ until the next supply try. I assure you, drinking tea and getting antioxidants in you will do you both some good. I will not have you go down the mountain, into the next town, and get snowed in on the way back.”

He looked towards the BLU Medbay doors before slowly returning his attention back towards him. And his eyes narrowed behind his halfmoon spectacles. “You mentioned my brother. He isn’t here. He’s outside, isn’t he? With the company van.”

"Abel, I'm definitely not going out to do that thing you told me not to do to, okay great bye!"

In a bold maneuver, Fritz attempted to slide his skinny frame right past Abelärd's and through the medbay doors, winter coat in hand.

A hand firmly clamped down on Fritz's arm and, despite the older gentleman being far smaller, he had a surprising amount of strength and managed to keep him rooted in place.

[zecuddlyblumedic]

There was a soft hint of sadness to his smile as his accent slipped right into fluent Deutsche, and then back again, to a restrained English. It was why he tried to keep his accent light and hard to notice in most conversations. Eleven years with this company, one had to be careful.

Abelärd gave a tiny but amused chuckle at his observations as he set about making tea with milk. Plucking up the small jar of honey, he paused to dwell on any potential answers given. “Ah, well,” he glanced over at his mourning doves who were, thankfully by now, used to the explosions. They sat, plump and content, with their tiny heads tucked underneath their wings. “This day holds meaning for them as their day of independence. As for why fireworks were chosen as the method of, ah, well... celebration, I do not know.” Taking up the teapot, he turned towards him and offered a sympathetic smile. “I’ve grown used to the sound, and have become accustomed to this holiday. I’m with a Soldier. American.” 

"Er, hallo. Zhis is... awkward..." Ignatz had come to this base to escape the fireworks, only to find more fireworks going off here. "Uh, do you happen to have any spare chloroform? Someone stole mine and I'm hoping to find a sleep aid. Somezhing zhat will keep me unconscious until, ohh... August 1st, perhaps?"
