An Unusual Abnormality - Redux (A Lobotomy Corporation x ??? Interactive Quest)

Day 2.11
>Does Punishing Bird tell jokes?
>You wonder if the bird would tell jokes... Would jokes even be considered punishment? Maybe if they're bad...

> "Who is he punishing?"
>"How punishing is it?"
>"He likes to prioritize people who are panicking if there are any, otherwise he just attacks whoever he feels like." Archer explains, "Though all he does is peck your head several times before flying away... But if you fight back, he'll decide you deserve a worse punishment..."

>"You have a lot of birds."
>"We only have four, including you..."
>_
 
Day 2.12
>"Big Bird, Punishing Bird and me. That makes three. Whose the fourth bird?"
>"Judgement Bird. He's on the bottom floor of this department."

>"Wouldn't it be easier to have all the birds in the same department?"
>"I wouldn't count on it." Archer says as he finishes his inspection, "The last time all three broke out, an ALEPH-class portal formed and they tried to make a run for it, so I doubt having them all in the same department would be a good idea. Besides, we can't really move abnormalities around easily once we lock them into a department... Unless they're the damn doctor. We don't know how he does it, but he's somehow able to swap the position of his containment unit with that of another abnormality..."

>Wait. Your brain is working. Didn't Alyssa say something about a portal when she explained how you ended up here? If you get all the birds together, does that mean you can go home?
 
Day 2.13
>Wait. Your brain is working. Didn't Alyssa say something about a portal when she explained how you ended up here? If you get all the birds together, does that mean you can go home?
>The gears of your mind begin turning...

>The buzzer goes off, signaling the end of the session.
>"Well, that's about all the time we have for now." Archer speaks as he picks up the air compressor, "You'll probably get Alyssa again next--Oh you've got to be kidding me..."
>You glance in the direction he's staring to spot a small white bird with a large, red patch of exposed flesh on its belly flutter through the door as it opens. Within moments it zeroes in on Archer and begins pecking him in the head.
>"...Seriously?" he frowns as the bird attacks him, "Out of all the people here, you came for me?"

>The little bird chirps something in response. Unfortunately, it wasn't speaking in corvid so you have no idea what it was saying.
>_
 
>Inspect Punishing Bird closely.
>This bird and the others apparently were making their way to a portal which you came out of.
>Could these birds be from Gensokyo?
 
Day 2.14
>Sing it the song of your people.
>You sing your themesong in corvid. The bird gives you a weird look in response.

>Inspect Punishing Bird closely.
>This bird and the others apparently were making their way to a portal which you came out of.
>Could these birds be from Gensokyo?
>You inspect the bird. The exposed flesh on its belly seems to be divided into five lobes. You can't tell much else as it's currently moving too much in its efforts to attack Archer.
>As you do this, you wonder if these birds could be your ticket home...
>The bird finishes punishing Archer, and begins hovering in place while glancing at you in curiosity.

Day 2.15
> Greet the bird in corvid.
> Don't forget to introduce yourself!
> If it seems like it doesn't understand, turn into your bird form and act like birds do when they meet other birds in a friendly manner.
>You need to be in your bird form to speak corvid anyway. You can't exactly caw authentically with humanlike vocal chords, after all.
>Therefore, you transform and give the bird a friendly greeting.
>The bird tweets something unintelligible in response as it begins to circle you.
>_
 
>Consider if Yatagarasu can somehow help you understand.
>Consider maybe trying to communicate with Yatagarasu in future.
>Don't spook the other birb.
 
Day 2.16
>Consider if Yatagarasu can somehow help you understand.
>Consider maybe trying to communicate with Yatagarasu in future.
>Don't spook the other birb.
> Oh, is this a game? Start flying around with the other bird.
>You wonder if you should try to communicate directly with the source of your power... He's like a bird god, right? So maybe he can help translate!
>...Now that you think about it, are you actually able to contact him? You haven't actually tried to talk to him before...
>You begin playfully flying in circles with the other bird.
>The bird twitters something you can't understand.

>"Are you two done?" Archer frowns.

>Transform back.
>"I have no idea! He does not speak corvid. I did not get a single word."
>Try to communicate with Yatagarasu and ask about what Punishing Bird is saying.
 
> Make sure to at least assert your bird dominance. He may look friendly, but that doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants here! This is your nest, after all!
> Puff up your chest and tell the bird that this is your place! And to get permission to come in next time!
 
Day 2.17

> Puff up your chest and tell the bird that this is your place! And to get permission to come in next time!
>You give the bird a territorial display.
>It hovers in place for a moment before giving you a light peck on the noggin. It doesn't hurt much but you certainly felt it.

>Transform back.
>"I have no idea! He does not speak corvid. I did not get a single word."
>Try to communicate with Yatagarasu and ask about what Punishing Bird is saying.
>You turn back.
>The bird chirps something in reply, before fluttering out of the room.

>"Well I suppose that answers things..." Archer notes, "Anyway, I really should go. I've been in here longer than necessary."

>You try to think of a way to communicate with Yatagarasu. Do you just think thoughts about him, or are you supposed to shout at the ceiling to talk to him? Maybe you can ask the snake goddess lady! She's a goddess so she would know how to--
>...Oh, right. She isn't here...

>You notice that Archer had left while you were thinking.
>_
 
> Archer said that there were other birds in this place.
> Maybe one of the other birds will be able to understand you.
> Hatch a plan to meet the other birds. Maybe since they let Punishing Bird
 
>Ask Alyssa or Archer when you next see them if it's possible to meet with the other birds.
>Now that you think about it, maybe you should inspect your hallway if there seems to be sounds of fighting coming from it.
>Solving those incidents might make the people who work here praise you!
>The dream you had might come true if you do that!
 
Day 2.18

> Maybe one of the other birds will be able to understand you.
> Hatch a plan to meet the other birds. Maybe since they let Punishing Bird
>Ask Alyssa or Archer when you next see them if it's possible to meet with the other birds.
>You make a mental note to ask them if you could meet the other birds.

>Now that you think about it, maybe you should inspect your hallway if there seems to be sounds of fighting coming from it.
>Solving those incidents might make the people who work here praise you!
>The dream you had might come true if you do that!
>You place your ear against the door, hoping for something praise-worthy.
>Nothing sounds like an incident is occurring, unfortunately.
