smash_logs | Blind Dates C Tables

What: BLIND DATES!
Who: Anyone who was sent a note with C table numbers.
Where: Off-campus restaurant. AND BEYOND!
When: September 30th
Warnings: Who knows depending who is here.

[The third group's restaurant is a rotating fancy restaurant, the tallest in all of FDC! The place is high up in the air, and you can see all of the city from above! It slowly moves around itself so you can see the city from 360 degrees.The menu has all sorts of things. Still expensive, however, but you've been given a 100$ budget for eating each!

The lighting is dim, with flickering, oil candles on every table. The place is decorated in stylish black and browns, with reddish lanterns hanged on top. The overhead music is half traditional Italian love songs, half that band you don't remember the name of and sometimes a little song sneaks in. Your servers are all dressed up for the occasion, and speak broken English and talk-like-a-dis despite the menu not being 100% Italian.

Beside each candle, there's a card. Each card has a different letter-number combination.

Find your table!

OH YEAH AND FEEL FREE TO LEAVE THE RESTAURANT AND GO ANYWHERE ELSE!.

..well once you've actually talked with your date anyway. If you try to leave before that, they will try to stop you.]

If they were both reserved in manner and speech, there was a pretty good chance Ulki could get along with him. Yes.

He was almost glad this topic came up, for that meant that in moments, he could seek the information he intended to only seconds ago. His wings shifted again since they became the point of conversation, and he nodded shortly. "I am a hawk laguz, from Tellius," he began; "They are maintained in both my unshifted form... and my shifted form."

It was always a little weird explaining what a hawk laguz was. He had hardly ever had to do it before coming to the school. Even though he had done it a couple times already, he still wasn't sure how to describe the concept, which was just as easy to understand to him as the term "beorc" or "branded".

What. The hell. Was a hawk laguz. And where was Tellius? Byrne had not heard of either of these things before. Did that mean that this man was part-hawk? Well, Byrne had seen stranger things before so it's not like he would have been completely surprised if that was the case.

Also, shifted forms? Unshifted forms?

So, all Byrne said was, "Please elaborate."

As expected, this man did not know what he spoke of. The pointed ears, then, did not mean anything he would be familiar with on Tellius, even though he could tell already by the lack of wings. Only those from the bird tribes had pointed ears, from what he knew.

So he would, indeed, have to describe what a laguz was. That was the awkward part. "The laguz... are a race of people who have the ability to transform into an animal," he tried, his eyes tracing to the side and watching what a miscellaneous table was up to. "I am a hawk. That is what I can shift into." He didn't feel any more description was necessary to express the point necessary to explain.

"Ah..." Byrne answered. He figured it was probably something similar to the pokemon this damned school was filled with. Still, he hadn't seen any pokemon like Ulki, especially not with such beautiful wings.

Byrne did notice the man's pointed ears, though, and for a second thought that Ulki might be familiar with Hyrule, but then realized he probably wasn't, due to him being of a race Byrne had never heard. Then again, he did seem distinctly similar to the Rito Byrne had heard about: the ones who lived on Dragon Roost Island.

"Are you familiar with Hyrule at all?"

"No... not until I arrived at Smash Academy," Ulki replied, drawing his attention back to Byrne. Now that he'd been here for so long, he had already learned of so many lands he'd never been to or even heard of. Ulki not hearing of something is... well, unheard of, what with the ears he has. "I have heard of it."

So, he had only heard of the land from the school. Figures. The only Hyrulean Byrne knew of here was Nabooru, and even then he was still uncertain if she was telling the truth, due to her claims of being part of an extinct race.

"I see," he responded. "Your ears are just very typical of Hyrule."

He could understand that assumption. Byrne's ears were characteristic of the bird laguz. And yet, a part of that felt ironic in Ulki's mind - when have his ears ever been labeled as typical, even among his hawk brethren? As he chewed on this bit of information, his head tilted just barely.

"I could... say the same about your ears, and the bird tribes of Tellius," he said, straying away from his amplified hearing abilities.

Byrne had gotten used to seeing the smaller, round ears at this Academy, and was beginning to feel that the pointed ears that were so characteristic of Hyrule were a rarity now. Ulki's ears were definitely a sight he thought he wouldn't see again, but he was not from Hyrule.

"I assure you, I'm not a bird," Byrne responded.

"I can tell," he replied shortly.

Then again, after the whole Sephiran incident... you couldn't be too sure. But it is likely that Ulki is not aware of those developments...
