Rook took the plate with a quiet thank you. Rook was glad he slept well. He still felt kind of bad about taking his bed. "So what are we going to do today." He asked softly. He knew they were going to the motel, but what if his father and mother were not there anymore. What would they do then?
(Wooo page 3!)

Mikey stopped pouring a dangerous amount of hot sauce on their eggs to reply, "Well the motel of course.... Hopefully there's some clues there or something," they shoved a forkful of eggs in their mouth, "I don't want to think about if there isn't but if there isn't you can still crash here then we'll figure out a safer place to move to. Honestly ever since going down to the black market this town is giving me the creeps" they half joked

Rook started to pick at his eggs. "Ah." He paused. "Is there a place you where thinking of moving to?" He asked as he took a bit of his egg. He hopped it was very far away from here. But it was fine if it was only a couple towns over. Rook quietly wondered how Mikey could eat so much hot sauce without thier mouth catching on fire.

(My uncle does the thing with the hot sauce and I'm like o.o lol)
Mikey hummed a little in thought, "Y'know I'm not really sure. Sometimes I'm like it's be nice to live in a cabin in the woods or mountains or something y'know?" They shoved another mouthful in, "We'll figure it out as we go along. Like traveling buddies or something" they grinned

(I love hot sauce, but not that much lol)
Rook chuckled and finished his eggs, he was a rather quick eater. "A cabin in the woods sounds like a really nice place." Rook said softly. Rook leaned back in his chair. His mind wondered for a second. Rook loved going out into the forest, it was really calming to him. But thats probably the harpy in him talking. "Do you think Lizard would like living in a cabin?" He questioned. Rooks mind liked to wonder.

(Same lol)
Mikey tapped their chin with the end of their fork as they finished eating, "Lizard seems to be happy as long as he has a lot of space to roam around, hence why he goes missing the little explorer" they chuckled "And if he didn't like it he'd like nip me or something"
Mikey sat their fork down and smiled remembering the time they tried to feed lizard bugs he didn't like
After a while they stood up and stretched, "Let me wash dishes. You feeling alright?" They asked just wanting to double check

Rook nodded. "I'm alright, if anything I'm just tired." Rook chuckled. Rook stood up and went to grab his plate and fork to give to Mikey. He winced as he scratched out his wings. He had once again forgotten about the gash on his shoulder. Rook was a bit forgetful.

Mikey smiled, "Sometimes I could sleep for days" they said though their smile left for a second when they we're handed the plate "Wincing isn't alright though..." They said, they had barely caught it though so they weren't even sure themselves

Rook looked a bit scared for a second, but he quickly regained his composure. Rook had spent most of his life being terrified of getting hurt or sick. He never knew what the vendor would do with a sick creature. So if he ever got sick or injured he would stay quiet but he wasn't at the market anymore. "Oh ah." Rook turned slightly so he could show Mikey the small gash. It was red and rather angry looking now. "I forgot to mention this to you." Rook said very quietly. His voice just above a whisper.

Mikey frowned, not that they were angry just that they were sad their friend got hurt, "C'mon we should clean that up before it gets worse" Mikey said kindly, heading towards the bathroom to get some supplies
(Idk how you heal bullet wounds so in about to make this up lol)
Once they were in the bathroom Mikey let Rook take a seat on the toilet seat before bringing out some kind of ointment and not quite rubbing alcohol, "Let me know if this stings too much"

(Same...)
Rook sat quietly, his gaze was locked on Mikey as he started to clean out the wound. Rook felt silly that he didn't ask for help until now. Rooks gaze flicked to his feet. It was really starting to sting but he could tough it out. "Thank you." Rook said softly. Rook hoped Mikey wasn't angry at him, they didn't seem angry but Rook had that lingering fear he did.

"You're welcome, though next time just try to remember to tell me. Id hate for it to get infected or anything" they smiled finishing wrapping a bandage around the wound
"There you go!" Mikey grinned and nodded to themselves make sure the bandage wouldn't fall off

Post by Fuzzymask on Aug 28, 2019 11:28:00 GMT -5
Rook looked over to the bandage. It felt much better than before. "Thank you." He hopped off of the toilet. He opened and closed his wing, he knew he probably shouldn't fly on it for a day or so. "I can help you with the dishes if you want." Rook looked up to Mikey.
(I have work today so responses maybe a bit slow today!)

(Oki dokies, I hope your work day goes well!)
"Hmmm.....well if you can take the dangerous challenge of drying them with the towel of doom then yes" Mikey said very seriously before they busted out laughing, "I'm just joking of course, I'd love the help actually. Then we can get done quicker" they smiled heading back to the kitchen

Rook chuckled softly. "Alright, I think I can do that." Rook followed Mikey down the hall and back into the kitchen. Rook liked Mikeys humor, he was funny at times but he knew when to be serious and Rook liked that.

Mikey plunged their hands into the dish water, scrubbing the plates an utensils clean before handing them to Rook to dry
(You want them to go look for his dad after this or?)

Rook dried dishes and neatly stacked them where they should go. He hummed softly as he did so.
(Sure! Should we time skip to them walking up to the motel?)

(i think so! *Wooowoowoo time skip* lol)
It was surprisingly a little chilly out or somehow the wind knew they were going to do something potentially scary and it decided to pick up. Mikey flicked up their hoodies hood and shoved their hands into the pockets as they walked, "Do we just go in and ask for you dad's name or?" They hadn't exactly planned this far ahead even though they knew they were coming down here

Rook wasn't much effected by the chilly air, his feathers helped him out with that. "Umm, i think so." Rook paused. "Lets just hope they don't ask for a last name." He said quietly. Rook never knew his last name, he never knew his parents last name either. He had always simply been Rook. Rook the harpy hybrid. Rook sighed softly, the motel people would never let them through if they didn't have the correct name.

Mikey nodded and as the door got closer put a reassuring hand on Rook's good shoulder, "Deep breath, let's get this done" they smiled taking a breath themselves before entering the motel
Mikey took a look around before going up to the desk attendent, "Um excuse me? We're looking for someone"

Rook glanced around the lobby of the motel, it was old looking and dusty. Thick layers of dust clung to the many fake plants that were scattered around the small lobby. His attention flicked to the desk attendant. A rather bored looking lady who smelt heavily of cigarette smoke and gross perfume. She looked up from the romance book she was reading and fixed her pale blue eyes on Mikey then to Rook. She placed her book down with a soft sigh. "First and last name." She grumbled as she turned to her computer.

(your new pfp is so cool!)
Mikey almost made a tsk-ing noise when she asked for a last name too but they decided to try to get the information with what they knew anyway, "Umm...well his name is Eric....we could give a description maybe?" They suggested turning to Rook

(thank you! I really needed a knew one so i made it randomly! not my best work but meh.)
The lady's gaze flicked to Rook. "U-ummm." Rook stuttered a bit. "Hes tall with brown curly hair." Rook paused. He could barley remember what his father looked like, it had been years since he had seen him. "Brown eyes, umm a tattoo of a ox on his neck." The lady sighed and mumbled something under her breath. "Eric Milo." She said simple. She tapped away on her computer for a second and looked back over to Rook and Mikey. "What do you want with that crook?" She said. "Are you two part of his scheme or something." She added.

(You're welcome! C: it's still good tho lol)
Mikey's eyes went into full shock mode with slight panic they put their hands out to defend the duo, "No no no not at all! We're just uh wanted to talk to him...didn't know he was a crook or anything promise!" They turned to look at Rook hoping that he wasn't too disheartened already "Can you just tell us where he is?"

The lady gave the two a long stare her eyes narrowing slightly. "Hes in room.." She paused and glanced over to her computer. "Room 38." The lady motioned over to a set of stairs. "Rooms 30 and up are up stairs." She paused. "I swear if there is another fight in that room im going to kick that crook out." She mumbled under her breath. Rook gave Mikey a rather terrified look.

Mikey nodded a quick thanks before pulling Rook to the side where the lady couldn't hear them, "Room 38... He's here at least but y'know... If you don't want to do it after what she said too we can walk out right now just say the word" Mikey didn't want to push their friend to do anything he didn't want to

Rook stood quietly for a long second. Rook wasnt sure what he wanted to do. His father was here, but he didn't sound like a very nice dude. But maybe he knew where his mother way. If he was alive then she should be. "I want to meet him just once. Maybe he knows where my mom is." Rook said very quietly.
(Also wierd question how did you make you SN green lol )

(Oh there was like this candy collecting event we did I think for Halloween last year and the top couple people got the ability to change their SN color)
Mikey threw an arm around Rook in a sort of half hug, "Alright buddy we'll go see him. But if he tries anything I've got your back" they smiled warmly to try to make him feel better before turning to the stairs and heading up

(Oh cool!...I'm totally going to try that this year.)
Rook followed Mikey up the stairs his mind wondering a bit. The hallway was long, with shabby green carpet and dusty red doors lining each walls. It reminded Rook of Christmas for some strange reason. Finally they reached the door. The sent of cigarettes wafted out from under the door and the door looked like it had been punched a few times. "Um." Rook said quietly. He was having second thoughts.

(I hope you win :3 )
Mikey stopped and stared at the door, "This isn't weird or creepy at all" they mumbled to themselves
They tried to hold in the urge to cough from the cigarette smell, it was like there were multiple packs going on at once or something to them, 'Stupid sensitivity to smell' they thought before turning back to Rook to ask one more time
"We can still go back, he doesn't know we're here"
