Daniel passer wakes up. Suddenly everything is terrible. First that dream about Sonja...

AND NOW THERE'S FOOTPRINTS ON THE BLOODY CEILING!

>>27947
Make the bed on her side, you loser. Stop living with the past.

Also check out those footprints.

>>27949
Check out the footprints, you weak individual.

Where do the footprints go?

Get yer ass outta bed and follow those footprints.

But Sonja didn't leave her bed like this. She left it clean and tidy. And Daniel sure as hell didn't mkae it like this. He is also a rather calm sleeper, meaning he doesn't roll around much in his slumber. So why in hell is her side of the bed untidy?!

The footprints seem to lead to the bathroom. Daniel is utterly terrified.

It certainly seems to be.

But you'll never find out what it is until you check it out.

Go to the bathroom.

Daniel gets out of bed. He's shivering even though it's not very cold.
His hand clenches around the door handle. Something's in there. He can hear it.

Somewhere a Nightingale sings.

She sounds like she's twelve now.

It's okay. Are you badly hurt?

>>28436

The rest of her sentence is swallowed by sobs.

Go in, start cleaning her up. Look for wounds.

You're not. Now who is this Crow and why was he attacking you? Also you might want to use this towel to clean yourself up.

Also let's turn the light on, see how bad her wounds are.

She takes the towel and hides her face behind it, as Daniel switches on the light.

>>28450
...Is your name Nightingale?

I saved you earlier today.

Side note. Specific birds noticed thus far:

Sparrow - our main character, Daniel
Crow - antagonist, unknown actual name
Nightingale - Two-tone, maybe?
Kingfisher - ?

Am I missing any?

>>28450
What did he see? I have to tell you besides you turning into a bird and back, I haven't seen much since you freed me.

The towel is soaking up so much blood...
>"That is because you aren't free yet. You have but a window to gaze through. I wanted to... make sure you don't turn out like Crow did. But the bird thing is an obvious sign that it is working. You can see the birds. I never turned into one. You just saw my bird."

>"I saved you from a crow earlier today."

>"Tha- that wasn't today, even though it was... it's complicated. He... he attacked me just after I had left you last time. He is so powerful, so alien... You were... more real than us... that's why you were even more powerful. You were there. And yet you were not. Thank you, Sparrow. Thank you for saving me... even though it didn't help in the long run."

She is still pressing the towel to her face and it doesn't look like she's going to stop anytime soon.

>>28459
Well, I sure hope you have a first-aid kit somewhere in your house.

>>28459
In the long run? What are you talking about?

I think we might need to take you to a hospital.

Get some bandages, you twit. Help the poor girl.

She starts crying harder again.

And who's the kingfisher, anyways?

Let her go, dude. She'll be alright, and you can't help anyway. This is beyond you... for now.

>>28528
Tell her to be back if she needs our help. Ask if we should visit the asylum.

>>28528
Try to hold her hands. Both of them. It might well help to console her.

No matter what is under that towel, you tell her she's beautiful, you got it?

Thanks for your patience. I'll try to find more time for this.

"An eye for an eye" but there seems to be another word there before eye that looks like can. Is it caw, like the sound a crow makes? "An eye for an eye, caw"

>>31331
Yeah, it looks like caw. As in crow sound. Like the crow Daniel kicked...

Could be Daniel's bird, the unnamed girl, or Maja... The 'eye for an eye' part would imply that his own bird got damaged, but the fact that it was someone else screaming seems to contradict that.

>>31350
Perhaps the message is directed at us, but Maja is the victim because for some reason Crow can't get to us.

>>31316
Aw, and the cute two-tone girl was covering her eye and being scared that she was hideous.

She lost her eye.

Poor girl.

I think you're right. The towel becomes damp with blood quickly after she places it over her eye:

Damage control. Unfortunately, you don't know what she's reacting to. It's likely the bloody mess... but with Crow's apparent involvement it might be much worse.

Actually I'm sure that's gonna happen either way, but I feel obligated to offer you some advice to try to avoid it.

"Maja, you've been watching way too many movies. I can see it in your expression, 'I've been acting weird so I must be an axe murderer or something.' How long have you known me? Sure I've been a bit depressed lately and even out of it. But I'm not violent, I'd never hurt anyone. There was an injured girl... she'd been mugged or something. She didn't feel like talking much, but I had to do something. I let her clean up in my bathroom. That's why I was up this late. She just left before you got here and I haven't had time to clean it up yet."

"I'm sorry it startled you."

>>31569
Dammit, too late. Ah well. Apparently she does have something to do with the owl outside the window.

Your priority is keeping her from leaving (without appearing threatening or dangerous) so you can calm her down and discuss what's going on. She needs to know she's not crazy... and so do you, for that matter.

Waitaminute. "Them" in our bathroom? you don't refer to blood as them. what's all this then?

>>31568
Can see "them"?

That's... odd. Stop Maja from leaving without looking crazy and then have a look at what is in the bathroom.

>>31580
Aw she's blushing.

Neckhold is a bit threatening. Make sure you're only doing it lightly, don't want to hurt her.

>>31585
Be ready for her to claim it's something aside from blood in there.

Because "them" implies multiple things instead of a blood stain.

Anyway, maybe you are both going crazy together, and maybe in the same way.

>>31593
Maybe they aren't crazy though maybe they are the only real sane ones.

>>32983
Maja, come on. I'm not going to do anything, you know that. However are you sure you won't do something you'll regret? Don't panic and sell me out. Now let's just calm down and go to the bathroom and discuss this.

>>32983
This is the correct time to grab her ass, Danny boy.

>>32983
She seems calm, at least she listened. Keeping hold of her neck is not the way to convince her you're sane...

Just let go and give her some personal space.

>>32988
BAD

BAD

we don't want to be implicated for rape! Just let her go. It's not like she'll run out into the streets in her undies!

>>32983
Let her go, your grip seems a tad too aggressive anyway.

"Well, geeze, you should have just slept in your jeans then if your worried about that."

>>32995
I dunno, she seemed really panicked. I mean she ran away, presumably for the door, and was fine with it and I assume she hasn't grown any new objections now.

Although it'd be good if we can make it clear that we're not interested in raping her. And we have to go to the bathroom to see what "them"" referred to.

>"Well... I guess we're both just a bit... stressed out. Uh... Let's just go back to sleep and sort things out tomorrow, when we can think clearly..."

Nod, but tell her we can't dismiss all this as dreams. Weird stuff IS happening.

>>33011
That's a good idea. But remember to check out the bathroom quickly before going to bed. Want to know what she saw.

>>33011
Wait, Maja... were you crying? Are you sure you're okay?

Did anyone else see the crowface in the negative space of the title card, or is that just me?

She's visually taken aback a bit, but doesn't say anything.

Maja silently shuffles back into the living room.
Before hitting the pillows again, Daniel has another look at the bathroom.
That doesn't look too good. With a sigh, he closes the door.

END OF PART ONE

Part 2 will follow shortly.

...Doesn't she still need to use the bathroom?
DUN DUN DUUUUN

>>33807
That still doesn't explain what she meant by them. Guess we'll have to ask her about it.

Still, although there's blood there it's not a massive amount. The truth isn't unbelievable, a girl we know injured herself and she used our bathroom to help clean herself up.

>>33808
This is truely the question we are all asking.

>>33809

After reviewing the images again, it looks like she's freaking out because she didn't expect us to be able to see the footprints (she's looking up at them in the scream picture) - maybe she's been seeing freaky shit like this for a while and didn't expect it to follow her here?

(Side theory: Maybe that's why she came over - had to get out of the house because of all the freaky shit.)

He washes swiftly and gets dressed.

Well technically he thinks he can still take a few days off. The question is: SHOULD he?

>>35506
Taking a few days off would be fine, however he shouldn't spend those days walled up in his room he should try to find out whats going on. My advice is he should visit the insane asylum.

Maybe, or maybe he should see Maja's shrink.

Yes, you should definitely visit the asylum now that it's visiting hours. Everything seems to be leading to there.

Tell him your a prospective psychology student and would like to talk to one of the physitions and possibly see the interact with patients.

Also, when you get a chance, at least give your boss a call so he knows you won't be there. He's a good guy, it wouldn't do to screw him over.

Well shoot. Just say "I was invited by a girl named Nightingale". If it means something to him, he might let us in. If it doesn't then it can't do any harm.

You could always try to get committed...
Or look for ways to get in otherwise.
Tag along with psych students, chat up an employee, etc.

Say your an acquaintance of Falco.

>>35941
Apologise for forgetting the guys name, tell him the patient you were going to study today was named Nightingale. At least ask if you can speak to someone at reception.

Dropping code words for crazy dream shit is a terrible idea. Try to ask loaded questions to get him to answer for you. Like "You know, the guy in charge of..." and "The one with the glasses?"
and then you can say "yeah! Dr. [whatever]!"

The only assumption we've made so far is that its a guy, which is a fifty fifty chance.

It's possible. Probably doesn't really matter. However this is a good chance to get her name.

Nightingale did tell us to take a look out for people who work with those considered insane as well as those who were considered insane themselves. Although she's only a secretary she probably still counts.

However, they are also probably a clue. Remember why Daniel's here. The tracks in the concrete lead to this place. He has to figure this bird and wall stuff out so he can help Two-tone against Crow.

He still seems worried.

"Yeah... I do. I should... get to that. Sorry to bother you."

But just about when you leave. "Umm, hey do you know anything about birds, like a crow, nightingale, maybe a falcon? It's related to what I've come here for." Seeing that he himself has a bird related name might help. Falco, hehe.

None other than crow. In the flesh.

She has something she owes something to me, you know? And finally... There's Capercaillie. He's craving to find her and he'd like to have word with you, too."

>"What favor? Besides you guys I've yet to experience anything. What is it that makes you so mad at her?"

Crow scowls at Daniel.
>"You are lucky. You can still run. It is far too late for me. She blinded me. And you know the saying... An eye for an eye, Sparrow. On that note... You too have wronged me. I will repay that as well, Sparrow."

>>38204
He's blinded himself with vengence. Rage and anger only force someone to loose sight of the porpuse of there own existance.

>>38208
Not always.

>>38208
Unless their purpose is vengeance. Y'know, just putting that out there.

Fuck, don't know what to ask really. I suppose we could try to reason with him? Tell him he's already wounded her quite profoundly and that he should back down while he still has some sort of high ground. Assuming he's not out rightly bullshitting us.

>very questionable favour.

HE WAS THE ONE TWO-TONE SHOWED THE TRUTH FIRST

>>38401
Yeah, we should ask him what the truth actually is. Is it the Matrix? It's something to do with birds.

Tell him his revenge on us could be to tell us what the Truth is if it's so bad he wants to get Twotone for it.

>"Crow! You already wounded her quite profoundly! Better stop now as long as you ahve some kind of higher ground. And about my 'punishment'... Tellme the truth! If you are to be believaed that should even us out, right?"

Crow turns away with an expression of disgust on his face.
>"You obviously have no idea what you are talking about, Sparrow. I'm not even with either of you yet and I'm tired of talking to you. You're just like some innocent child, who thinks his beliefs of moral are righteous, when he kicks the man who's spanking his daughter. Enjoy your life, Sparrow. Until we meet again."

He starts to walk away, slowly and awkwardly zigzagging down the hallway.

>>41114
I think we all know what time it is.
Time for a sandwich.

>>41114
Crow sure is a jerk.

Anyway, I think its safe to assume Two Tone is Falco's sister, so we finally know her name: Luscinia. A mouthful, that name. We should probably wander the halls and look for her before Crow finds her.

Daniel decides that finding Nightingale has priority over Sandwiches. She needs protection.

As he wanders the halls of the asylum he meets an odd pair. They move like one. As if they were one and the same. A very, very starnge sensation.

I've got it.
Birds are people's souls.

Birds are people's souls...
Daniel has never believed in the concept of souls, but there might some truth to that theory.

The man notices Daniel and lowers the document he was reading. He notices how Daniel was staring at him. For a second he looks surprised.
"Can I help you, Mr...?"

>>41864
Mr. Sparrow, if you please.

I'm looking for Falco Kerten's sister. She seems to have gone missing.

>>41864
I smell a plothook! Introduce yourself and ask about whats-her-face!

He raises his eyebrows a bit and smiles.
>"It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Sparrow. My name is Tetrao. So you are looking for Ms. Luscinia Kerten? What exactly is it you need from her?"

>>43799
"I'd like to talk to her about a personal matter."

>"I'd like to talk to her about a personal matter."
In retrospect, this doesn't sound too good.

>"A personal matter, yes? Not to intrude on your privacy, Mr. Passer, but what personal matter could you have to discuss with her? I never saw you around here and she never talked about you."

"About birds, lots and lots of birds. No, seriously. I was told I could get information about special birds here, thats all." That shouldn't hurt at all, bird watching is a common activity.

>>43806
"Her brother is a driving student of mine. We met one day when I was dropping Falco off. I'd... rather not say about the personal matters, if that is alright with you. Its private."

>>43806
"MY BUSINESS IS NO CONCERN OF YOURS, MORTAL!"

Then moonwalk past him. Trip, fall over, stumble back to your feet, laugh and say 'just kidding.'

Oh wait, you wanted to find out where she was, not figure out a way to live next door to her...

Daniel thinks,since he's already lying about his name, he shouldn't reveal his real connection to Falco Kerten.
>"About birds, lots and lots of birds. No, seriously. I was told I could get information about special birds here, thats all."

Suddenly a wide grin appears on Tetrao's face.
"Seen right through you, Mr. Daniel Passer. Usually people will notice when you adress them with a different name. It is a pleasure to meet you. Ms. Bubo has told me quite a lot about you."

>>43806
>Mr. Passer
Oh right. We fucked up that perception check...

Smile and sheepishly admit that subterfuge isn't one of your strong suits.

Then ask him if he can see the birds too. The guy seems cool and in the know, and he has a bird right next to him. Maybe we can get a little exposition from him.

Daniel displays a sheepish smile.
>"Ok, you got me. Subterfuge is obviously not one of my strong suits. So... You can see birds too?"

Tetrao's gaze wanders off to Daniel's shoulder just like Nightingale's did a few nights prior and he nods.
>"Yes. You have many questions, I am sure. But we should not discuss this now and here."
He tucks his document under his arm and pulls a notebookand pen from his pocket.
Handing Daniel a little note, he says: "Anything else, Mr. Passer?"

"If you see her, tell her i said hi. "

"If you see her, tell her i said hi. "

>>44417
He gave us a note? What's on it? Contact info?
Maybe arrange a lunch with him?
What time is it? Better late to work than never.
Thank him for his time.

>>44417
READ THE NOTE
HUG BIRD

There is an address and a time on the note. Although the bird does look fluffy, Daniel resists the temptation to hug what could very well be a stranger's soul.

>"If you'll excuse me now, I have work to do, Mr. Passer."

>"Yes of course. Goodbye."

Daniel's mobile phone tells him that it's 9:00 AM. He hurries to work.

...

He finds Markus at his desk filling in some form. A very common sight.

>>44513
Apologise profusely.

>>44513
Say you think you're feeling better now, and you're sorry about yesterday. Ask if its still okay if you work today, even though you're late.

>"Hi there, Markus!"

Markus drops his pen.
>"Daniel... I..."

>"I'm sorry, I'm late. I'm feeling quite a lot better now. Sorry for yesterday. I'll make it up for you."

Markus stares at Daniel in disbelief.
>"Dan. You... don't have to strain yourself like that."

That is not the response, Daniel expected.

>"Look, Dan. I managed to distribute all your driving lessons of the next week to your colleagues. Just take that one damn week and do whatever you feel like doing."
Markus gets up and physically pushes Daniel out through the door.
>"You know what your problem is, Daniel? You're a too nice guy. IF you manage to wrestle some free time from your grumpy old boss, you don't go to him and give it back. You go out there and enjoy your damn time."
He gives Daniel a clap on the shoulder.
>"You're also a workaholic. Go home, enjoy life. Maybe get a good book."

>>44583
"Well I... Okay. Sorry boss."

>>44583
Smile jokingly ask him if there is form you need to fill out to enjoy yourself.

To the coffee shop? Maybe we'll see Maja there?

>Well... okay. Sorry boss"
Daniel says and starts walking down the road. Then he turns back around to say:
>"Aren't there any forms I could fill out for fun?"
Markus raises his fist.
>"Don't make me hit you!"

They share a laugh.

Now, Daniel really doesn't have anything to do for now. The meeting with Dr. Tetrao is at 7:00 PM... The coffee shop seems like a dead end. Maja should be working around this time and Clara is evidently still at the asylum. If he doesn't find any ideas what he could do, he could as well just kill time until 7 o'clock.

>>44875
Call Maja. If she won't pick up, go meet her at work if you can.

Otherwise just go dick around in the park again. Worked last time, right?

As Marcus goes back to his desk, Daniel triess to call Maja once again. Her phone is still off, so he decides to ambush her at work.

In front of the library he finds a figure with a cellphone.

Konrad turns around. he looks severely stressed out.
>"Oh! Daniel! How convenient of you to come here. I wanted to have a word with you anyway, old pal."

>>45394
Sure, why not.

>>45398
Dan try to keep calm. At least one of you needs to be calm.

Calm down. I presume you mean Maja? Yeah, I've been looking for her too. I don't know where she is. She did crash at mine last night, but I haven't seen her since then. If you see her tell her I want to talk to her.

>>45398
Hey broseph! I have no idea where maja is. She won't answer the phone.
