09:41 GyroFeather squawks at stoic
09:57 GyroFeather squawks mroe at stoic
09:59 Stoic pops in wondering why he is being squaked at
10:00 GyroFeather needs help coming to terms with being a bird!
10:01 Stoic pulls up a chair, sits in it and motions the burb to fall into the couch that has suddenly appeared near him
10:04 GyroFeather nests down onto the couch, getting comfortable, or as comfortable as he can be in his new skin.
10:05 < Zuthal> ("There is no help. I recommend feeding yourself to someone better than you"
10:05 < GyroFeather> (Zuthal wont eat him though :P)
10:06 < GyroFeather> (So I guess zuzu isnt better!)
10:06 Stoic takes out a notepad and asks "Tell me, how did you become a griffon?"
10:09 GyroFeather frowns at the edge of his beak and shudders as he recalls the memory. "I was visited by a stripey on the docks who was very rude to me. He cut me off and acted better than me, so I called him out on it, and pushed him into a dumpster in a back ally. I had to prove my superiority afterall. But then he uttered some strange words and broke a potion on me...and I....I...."
10:10 < Zuthal> ("...got what I deserved")
10:11 Stoic finsihed the sentece for the burb "Found yourself in your current form." He writes that Gyro is quite the racist and has a supirority complex "Why do you think that Zebra turned you into a bird?"
10:14 GyroFeather grumbles to himself and crosses his talons as a look of sadness crosses his face. "Y-yes...I found myself...like this...He said something about needing to find respect in other creatures, but that was just to cover up the fact that he did it because he's evil and hates ponies and is plotting the downfall of the government by taking out the nobility one by one. I just know it!"
10:16 Stoic notes that he is clearly insane and his additude towards other creatures is clearly brought along but fear and mistrust... though he wonders what they could have done to bright about such harshness "You don't feel as if you provoked him when you pushed him into a dumpster?"
10:18 GyroFeather makes a noise that sounds almost like a hiss and shifts to turn his back away from his psychologist. "Are you really blaming me? I'm the victim of that terrible zebra's aggressions. He's just a spiteful terrible stripey who cares not one wit for the ponies who rule over him."
10:27 < GyroFeather> (Whines at Stoic!)
10:28 < Stoic> (Sorry, got distracted)
10:30 Stoic montions his pencil towards him "And this is why that Zebra did what he did. Your generalizing an entire race to a personality and damning them for it. He wouldn't have acted the way you did if your didn't throw him into the dumpster..." With his rant finished he leaned back into his seat "And make that noise at me again and this won't be a free session any longer."
10:37 < GyroFeather> (Bah in the future I'm gonna change teh zebra's words, or at least add to turning you into something as vain as you are._
10:38 GyroFeather flicks his tail back and forth much like a cat would do when irritated and casts a look back to glare at the earth pony with a glare. His peacock like crest raises up as the tiercel tenses. "He should know his place. He's not a native to thsi wonderful nation afterall..."
10:41 Stoic shakes his head "Native or not, he is a creature with thoughts and feelings. Maybe if you go talk to one, like a would a normal pony, you will find they don't have a monopersonality like you claim..."
10:46 GyroFeather rolls his eyes. "I'm not claiming that they dont. I'm just saying that the majority of them are up to no good, cant speak equestrian without a thick accent, and arent trustworty, but one of my good friends is a zebra, so I know not all of them. They're at least marginally better than gryphons.
10:48 Stoic smiles to him "Well, maybe its time you mingle with from gryphons then... you currently have the body for it." He gives a soft chuckle "Maybe try to pick up a female gryphon, I know how much you like mares..."
10:51 GyroFeather lets out a loud scree at teh suggestion and rolls over, burying his head into the couch and making sobbing sounds. Both his crests fold down flat against his head as the former unicorn begins to sob. "I dont want the body for it..."
10:51 < GyroFeather> (Cue joke from stoic about a peacock being the perfect bird :P)
10:57 < Stoic> (Hehe)
10:57 < Stoic> (Sorry, got pulled away)
11:00 Stoic shakes his head, leading over and patting his back "If you want to become your former form again, you need to convince the Zebra that you've learned from your mistakes, though you may not think you've made any... and the best way to do that is the make use of your new form to experience what its like to be a gryphon. Go out to a gryphon hot spot, interact with them, and maybe you'll be your old self agian.
11:00 < Stoic> "
11:10 GyroFeather 's wings go slack as he feels the stallion pressing against his back. He lets out a long sigh and continues to stream tears from his eyes. "Why did that stupid stripey do this to me...I didn't deserve this...I didn't make any mistakes so how am I to learn? Instead I'll be stuck as a beak face forever..." The tiercel wilts even more. "I dont want to hang around with savages..."
11:10 < GyroFeather> (Dont worry Stoic I was calleda way too)
11:13 Stoic lifts him up with a sigh, feeling sorry for the guy, not because he didn't deserve it but because hes about as clueless to what hes done wrong as a 3 year old foal with his hooves in the cookie jar "Come on, Gyro, get your head up and be strong. Give it a chance, you might even enjoy the experience."
11:20 GyroFeather seems to have lost weight since becoming a gryphon, certainly an effect of gaining a much sleeker body and the hollowing of his bones to aid in flight, not that he had yet figured out how to do that. "Enjoy the experience? But they eat fish...and smell...and I dont know how to fly or preen...and I dont look pretty...." he responds, continuing ot mope.
11:27 Stoic gives a heartly laugh at his last words "Gyro, I can most assure you that you are very very pretty... you look like a Peacock for Luna sake. Why don't we head out and give your body a whirl. Try out fish, take a flight... and thanks to Nadine, I know of a Gryphon watering hole we could go see. How does it sound?"
11:33 GyroFeather hmmphs and crosses his talons, but at least he turns to look at stoic. "I dont know how to fly...and well...I havnt preened since I've changed...I dont know how...but even if I was to go out to this bar I know that I shouldnt be seen in public like this..." He says, making an excuse.He'd preened pegasi as ponies before and knew where their gland was under their wings, but this was idfferent. It was his own feathers and he had a beak now...and he didnt even know where to get the oil.
11:35 Stoic shakes his head with a chuckle "I'm sure a gryphon would help, now come, we have a day ahead of us." With that he gently tuged on Gyro, encouraging him to get up and follow him.
11:36 < GyroFeather> (Stoic would knwo how to do it though :P)
11:36 < Stoic> (He would rather not be the one to do it... hes very clumbsy at it and it takes away a bonding experience he could have with another gryphon!)
11:39 < Stoic> (Plus, I have very little experience with preening in an rp)
11:42 GyroFeather gets to his feet at the insistent pulls, but he certainly doesnt look happy about it. His entire body slumps and his tail hangs low near the ground. His eyes are downcast and a frown hangs on his beak. "Ya...ya...sure they would...If I go embrace them I'll bet I'll be eating pony by the end of the week too..."
11:49 Stoic sighs and shakes his head, he can only hope this experience will change his outlook on this. He swiftly lead the griffon to the local marina, a place with many griffons, especially the part they went to. Gyro probably would normally avoid this place but thats just another reason to bring him out here. In the distance a stand, selling mostly fish, stood. He gave Gyro some money and motioned him to move towards the stand.
12:01 GyroFeather darts his head back and forth as they approach one of the spots he largely avoided. This was catbird territory and he did not feel too terribly comfortable trekking through the area. The majority of the other gryphons were slightly larger than him, mkaing him wilt even more. He looks at the bits and then back at stoic, raising an eyebrow. "I'm not buying fish....tahts gross."
12:03 Stoic nods with a smile "I certainly don't like it... but gryphons do, and since your a gryphon for now I think your should try it." With those words of encouragement he nudges Gyro to go.
12:15 GyroFeather frowns at the stallion and tilts his head. He lets out a long sigh and steps forward tentitively towards the fish stand. As he gets closer, the scent tickles his snout and he finds that it...actually smells good this time. He's not sure hwat's up with that. Stepping up to the stand, he buys a small basket and makes his way back over towards teh stallion.
12:20 Stoic was now sitting at a near by bench, waiting for the gryphon to approtch "Well, that wasn't so bad now what is it... I can even seen a hint of enjoyment in your eyes, though I know I'll see a lot more once you start eating."
12:31 GyroFeather grumbles at the stallion, not wanting to admit that he was right and then takes a seat next to him. He plays with a fried piece in a talon as his revulsion at eating meat and that tantilizing scent fight at each other. His beak waters a bit and drips down. Finally...after a good couple minutes, the tiercel gives in and takes a bite. The flavor, he finds is actually rather marvelous, and a second one follows much more quickly after.
12:35 Stoic soon watches as he devours the entire meal quickly like he hasn't eaten in a week... which, considering his hesitents to eat mean and his lack of ability not to... that could have very well been the taste "I take it that you enjoyed your first taste of fish?" He teased with a 'I told you so' voice.
12:50 GyroFeather had been eating, but he'd been sticking to a normal pony diet, which doesnt quite provide a gryphon with everything he needs to be healthy. Still, the fish had tasted quite unlike anything else he'd had before and it was rather tasty. His crest folds down and he glares back at that pony. "Yes...and now i'm considering my first taste of pony to see if it also holds up," he responds, obviously irriated.
12:53 Stoic sits back and smile to him, the smirk still there despite the empty threats given by the gryphon "So, I guess its time to choose... we can head to the park and try to see if we can get you flying, or to the local gryphon watering hoe." He always prefered giving his clients a choice when he could.
12:54 < GyroFeather> (Bah I really need to get things done and I'm a bit too distracted. We should continue alter though Stoic)
12:55 < Stoic> (Defiently)
12:57 < Zuthal> (and giving them a choice will also make them more likely to go along with it, even if they don't really like either option! Yay psychology!)
