I had just mentioned to someone how after being here for so long the forest still didn't truly feel like a forest without the sound of birds.

It seems the forest spirits heard me.

I know they aren't truly the birds from home, but there is something nice about having that little bit of normalcy back.

So far they aren't dangerous or aggressive. I hope it remains that way.

not gonna lie, was mildly sure it was going to turn into a hitchcockian situation

so far it hasn't been that bad.

( did she ALMOST say she LIKED something? it was sure close. )

It still may turn bad, let's not get ahead of ourselves. But for now it's worth enjoying.

For as long as it lasts.

yeah, if crows start pecking out eyes, i reserve the right to say i told you so

until then, it is almost like it's spring out there in the pitch darkness

Considering all we've been up against so far I'm confident in our ability to fend off birds before it gets to that state.

Maybe to them it is? They may not perceive the darkness as we do. They seem to navigate it fine without the aid of any extraneous lighting.

[vampirella]

lucky them, i'm sure tired of walking into my own furniture every day

i guess if you're in constant darkness, you'd get used to it eventually

[paletteswap]

I count myself lucky to have avoided walking into trees in the forest.

I hope we're not here long enough to adapt in that way. That would likely take years.

[vampirella]

there's still time for that, but as long as you don't observe the buddy system, at least it'll just be between you and the birds.

more like generations, i'm pretty sure that's how evolution works. and we're all dead, so nix that plan anyway.

I prefer to patrol alone, so that secret would be safe should it happen. I've been here nearly a year I believe, so it's only a matter of time.

It may spontaneously happen one day. Like when people were turning into animals, or having fits of strange emotions. One day everyone has giant eyes and can see clearer in the moonlight.
