Anselm spun to look at Eli-bird as he approached. Anselm- "Ohh it's a cute bird friend for you." Darren- "Hoo."

Anselm- "Oh yeah, it's fine. Cop touch my bum, no'dhing new." Darren- " *huff* "

Eli knew the cops were still around somewhere - their car was within line of sight - but couldn't be more certain without moving.
Anselm- "Vhy not? As long as--"
Vitus- "Hey fellas, uh--"

Anselm- "SAD GHOST!!!!" Darren- "HOOOOOO! " Anselm took off sprinting through the forest with that Darren-owl tucked under his arm.

Vitus- "I know that guy. Not the owl, but Darren, I guess? What even happened here?"

Vitus- "Why can't all of you hypnotize them to sleep yet? Especially Anselm. It's the easy way out of practically anything involving humans."

Vitus- "Well, I'm just glad I wasn't on a job for Demetri tonight. Maybe if I get you home, you'll feel comfortable enough to work out changing back into a guy."

Vitus- "Nah, let's get you home..."
He rose into the night air like magicas! Foot-perched Eli saw the cops below getting into their ride.
Elibirb stuck his little feet into V's shoe, trying not to poke him. He nestled close to the dude's leg, afraid of being so tiny and so high up. Elibirb (in Sombreta-speak) - "Hey, um...can you pick me up, V? It's a little scary down here...and I can't fly if I fall. "
Vitus- "Right, right..."
Vitus sorted them out and they were gone...Somewhere in the distance... Anselm- "Hoo, 'dhink vee outrun it. Sad ghost don't turn to mad ghost." Darren- "Hoooo" The owl gestured with a wing in a crude approximation of an inquisitive hand gesture. Anselm- "Damn, damn... vee lose talking bird." The owl stomped its foot. Darren- "Hoo! Hoooo!" Anselm- "Huh? Vhy you an owl still? Vake up, get legs." The owl stomped its feet some more.Darren- "Bloo bloo bloo!" It nipped at Anselm's pant leg. Anselm- "Aw, you vant me to hold it? Okay, it's fun and soft. " Darren- "Hoo!!"
He attempted to scoop up the bird. It flapped from side to side, looking like its wings were broken, making a rattling sound. Anselm- "Oh, you cann't fly yet... Hm. Maybe it's too hard still." Darren- *nods vigorously* Anselm- "Okay, maybe I teach you later if you don't eat Anselm birds! Come get on a shoulder, be animal friend." He took off his coat and knelt. The owl looked to the side, embarrassed, and reluctantly walked up Anselm's arm. Anselm- "Ouch! Pokey toes. Huh... Guess to valk now... Aw man, can't believe pigs get on our case." He settled on to the shoulder and let out a rattling hiss at the prospect of the popo. Anselm- "Hey it's cool, I don't know you are an owl before. Let's see, how to become a person... Vell, you cann vait until morning..." Darren- "*angry bloo, shaking from side to side*" Anselm- "Hm, how I did it? 'Dhink of being big! Get tall. Oh-- you know how to make a tooth come out, right?"
Darren thought of tying a string around a tooth and tying it to a doorknob and again, made noises of protestation. "Like a vampire tooth! You know, to drink blood. Get scary eyes."
Darren wished he could roll his eyes, instead, he rolled his head. Anselm- "I don't know bird vords. Anyway, you 'dhink on it. Make a tooth come out, put it back in. It's like 'dhat."
The owl managed to sigh. Anselm- "Alright, alright. Do it Darren's vay. " The owl settled into place and watched Anselm's feet as he walked. They finally made it out of the woods, and into the winding suburban streets that were easier to navigate, and track down their respective rides. Anselm- " 'Dhanks for not pecking my ear. So, you vant to be a man now? Or you come to Anselm's home and sleep in dirts." The owl hopped off Anselm's shoulder, spiraled in the air like a dead leaf and ran face first into the ground. Anselm- "Aww! Don't vorry, vee practice it..." Anselm crouched to see what the owl would do.
The owl was appraising him.
Anselm- "Hm, schreischrei meine Eule. You need Anselm's help?"
The owl shook himself out again, and nodded. Anselm- "Okay, stand up big! Put out arms like man arms." He mimed it. The owl complied, looking quite silly. Anselm- "Good, now get tall! You can't reach so you stretch up!" The owl strained to get taller, looking silly again. Darren- "Weck weck weck!"
Anselm- "Hm, harder 'dhan I remember. Talk a valk, come to Anselm like a person does." He took a step back and beckoned like he was teaching a baby to walk for the first time. The owl sighed again, and took its waddling steps. Anselm- "At least you learn to move more. Ummm...Maybe..."
He held his coat in his hands and furrowed his brow for a moment.
"How about I put a coat on you, and you haff to get out?" The bird bounced away and whanged its head on a car bumper in frustration. Anselm- "Aww! Poor Eule. Vell, you do it like a bicycle. Only one time to do and 'dhen it's easy."
Darren flopped on the concrete and crawled part of the way under the car, shaking around as he went.
Anselm- "You going to get dirty! Ohhh maybe to haff privacy." He heard flopping and frustrated bloo bloo noises mixed with hoarse straining. Anselm became a flock of robins in solidarity. Anselm- Chip! Bip bip! They hopped around the car, with encouraging cheeps. The hoarse cries began to prevail and the paper-like thwap of feathers turned into a fleshier sound. Anselm- Chip chip chip! At last, Darren emerged from under the car. Darren- "Ugh! What a pain!" The little birds swarmed his shoulders, bouncing around happily. Darren- "Yeah yeah. If you say so." Anselm- "Chip!"

Vitus shadowed out some, carried them unto the bosom of the heavens, then -zap- somehow they were on the roof of Eli's brownstone. From around the block, Elibird could hear Hunter, Jess, a neighbor, street sounds, and night winds. Vitus set him on the ledge at the edge of the flat roof, and leaned on it. Vitus- "Here we are. So. Fear helped you turn into a bird, but you're not sure how to get out of it yet."

Hunter and Jess sounded a bit excited about something but it was easier to just pay attention to Vitus. Vitus- "When we had you bring up the fangs before, we told you to think of hunger. Well, it was kind of a shortcut. What you're really doing there, in an instinctual way, is willing yourself to transform."

Vitus- "Learning about the occult, huh? That's one way of looking at it, but an act of will is more than just desire. It's making something happen."

Vitus- "Well--"
Hunter- Jess- "I told you I heard it. Look!" "That's Eliii?" Roof invasion! They had climbed up from a window.

Vitus- "Er, huh. Yeh."
Hunter- Jess- "Wooow, how did he do that?" "What did I just see?" Vitus- "He might not be ready to make a show of this. Would you mind going back inside?"
Hunter- Jess- "Awww! But he's so cute!" "I knooow!"

Mt. Vitus disapproved.
Vitus- "Is that strictly necessary?"
Jess- "I guess we ought Hunter- to go back in." "Aww! Be proud of the kawaii, little bird! We'll go."
Vitus- "Thank you."

Vitus- "Pirates now? They're gone, fella."
He put Elibird back onto the ledge.
Vitus- "Now where were we again?"
