Good morning, Central.

Closer inspection reveals that the steel trees of Central City are home to all manner of birds, resplendent in their plumage.

Bolder birds do well to remember that the wilds of Central City are truly wild, and the city is not without its predators hidden in the alleys.

[overlyprecocious]

They are not without their own defenses, however.

The Robin is indeed the cleverest of birds, sharper-eyed than the eagle and the early-bird who gets the worm. A symbol of spring and hope.

Birds.

[reneger]

nerdy birds are still nerds

[mostdangerousbird]

Kestrels, the smallest and most flamboyantly colorful of raptors, are among the smartest and most trainable of non-psittaciformes, attract sparring partners as young adults by presenting themselves as dumb jocks.

[reneger]

you want to fight?

[mostdangerousbird]

Sparring isn’t tantamount to fighting, but is used to hone skills so the birds remain sharp in the face of a genuine threat.

Are you bored too?

[reneger]

not as bored as you are

[mostdangerousbird]

I thought I’d take a break, and then remembered I have no hobbies.

[reneger]

don't you have hero pals you can go bother?

[mostdangerousbird]

I don't think they want to play Risk.

[reneger]

no?
i'll play risk with you

[mostdangerousbird]

You don't want to play Risk with me. We might as well just start out sparring, because we're going to fight.

[reneger]

we could pull out monopoly
get a few more birds
start a war

[mostdangerousbird]

I'm the thimble.

[reneger]

it was my idea
my thimble

( he didn't even want it until tim mentioned it. )

[mostdangerousbird]

Fine. I’ll take the Scottie.

[overlyprecocious]

doesn't photography count as a hobby?

[mostdangerousbird]

I don't really take photographs much anymore. Not properly.
