Thoughts and words of a Scarecrow
« on: October 30, 2018, 02:58:37 PM »
Why would someone need the write things down? Ridiculous. Are people that desperate to leave a print in this world's mud? With luck, that print will be in a squirrel's dump.

Anyhow.. Why am I doing this again?

"Because... Madness oblidge."

Who are you calling mad..?! [sighs] Well, technically it ain't wronnng.

"Feed... Me."

Now now, ain't you a gluton. [hands something over]

[Gargles, bobbing head backwards to swallow]

Ugh... Disgusting sounds. Why do I have to be the cook when walking through the woods. [I think to myself]

"Thus is what we agreed on.. Stop asking so many questions. Such annoyance!"

Then stop reading my mind...! Being the one stuck to do the dirty work while being watched over judgementally all the time is just sooo great~

"Little price it is for such power.. And freedom. Vengeance comes in time. Though with you it is always so..."

Explosive?

"Dramatic."

You're too kind. [Laughs bitterly] The weet will burn and burn~ Up and down the scarecrow's shirt~ Until...

"Until it grows legs to flee or wings to fly away in the wind."

The shadow pass before my eyes, a smell of ash now through my nose. I look down to see my hand and see them burn and burn and burn. But no matter how much I run now how much I flap my wings, the flames will stay, the burns will stain. Ah, what a wonderful day~ To be dead and born again.

[Laying back over the dead leaves, I admire the dim light passing through the nearly naked branches]

Huh... I'm here again...

[A shade quickly pass through the trees, covering my face in shadow beforenI fell a light weight landing on my chest]

Owwwahhh... Watch your dang claws!

[A dark chuckles, more like a dark caw really, echoes through my head]

"Should I remind you you simply haven't moved since? You can come back to a place you never left."

[I roll my eyes] Getting all logical as always... Aren't you tired of always being on my back?

Aren't your shoulders plated for the very use of having me over them?

[The claws tightens on my skin through my shirt, a pinching sensation spreading on my chest. Best thing to do: not to show the pain]

Not really plated though when you can call yourself "magical"... [Sigh] Then again, can you hurt something made out of weet.

"I wouldn't say you can scare a bird either. Hm hm hm~."

Again, one cawy laughter.

Mhm.. Seems I scare people more than crows.

"... Feed... Me."

[Red eyes are now focused on me. Ah, what to do, what to do...]

Can't you, like, be the fearsome predator you're supposed to be and hunt our diner yourself?

[Still, red eyes looking at me, now along a cold winter's silence]

.... I guess that a noo. [I snap my finger, a fire bolt thrown away before making a hit on something, a now carbonized animal falling from the sky and landing not too far from us.]

There, diner's ready.

[The dark shadow moves from my chest over to what now seems to be another bird's corpse. Oddly enough, it starts his meal by tolhe eyes, gobbing them whole. This makes me think, for one, about one rule of nature... "Eat or be eaten". You always need to leave rests behind, so they can reproduce and make more food to delight upon... Hm. Monsters and humans alike, with a common goal of filling their belly. The only question is: who shall be eaten first?]

Ouhh houhou... What is this chill I feel? Making me shiver like a lonely leaf hanging on to the last bit of summer? Questions, so many question for someone so... Brainless.

But ahh, yes. An answer laying there, to my feet. How could that be? What would that be..? But nobody cares.

Yes, yes! I can feel it. It is the mists passing through me. Yes! -Through- me... A cold chill between the straws of weet.

Caw, caw...

[Something lands on my shoulder] Hmm. Why hello there, mister the crow~. What brings you here in the middle of the night?

.. Ca-caw? [Tilts its head]

Ahh yes. You're looking for food -and- company to keep you warm. Well how about it, I'm looking for one of those two also! I won't tell you which though. [Chuckles]

Caw... [Turns its beak away]

Aww, don't be like that... Tell you what, I know some place close where you could find some lovely eyes to bit. But in exchange...

Bacaw?

Don't act like a chicken now... I'm going to tell you a secret, but you won't be allowed to tell it to anyone. Easy enough, yes? Not many people talking to birds to begin with.

[stays motionless. Black eyes looking at the "scarecrow"]

[Whispers some dark secrets to it...]
