Flying the Big Bird

Also, I’ve been Mrs for quite a while now, dear.

Pigeon attempts to court falcon

No I’m not telling you what they are yet, cheeky. You’ll hear very soon!

You’re just gonna have to sit on the sidelines and wish you’d all been clever enough to have thought of it!

You?

Back to back rescues means many, many fries.

You know it’s @ilikebigshipsandicannotlie extra med supplies when it’s in a toolbox. Very effectively, even if it is taller than me.

He used to bring that on camping trips…

But if you’re looking for a reliable swift way to toast something, TBOne’s your girl 🥰

Please don’t tell me they are going to make something filthy outta this too?

It doesn't matter anyway because the bot has not included Thunderbird Shadow. This both means that the poll is void, and that Kayo will kill the bot despite it not technically being alive.

The borrowed toolbox deciding to throw itself off the work bench is another 😩 help me, I’m bear food, it’s been nice knowing you all.

You better get them sorted fast, Fish… I’ll distract the bear by saying something dismissive about modern art. If I really commit I can probably guarantee you 20 mins…

Say something about the best coffee coming from a pod. That’ll double it.

@brains-ir reckon you can give an assist on that coolant leak?

You wanna come for a swim, feel free. Or to play fifty two spanner pick up. All help welcome prior to my cremation.

Calming yoga is now occuring on Two 💚🧘‍♂️

It doesn't get used that often, only when someone needs to get to the mainland and a Thunderbird isn't available. But sometimes someone takes it out for a leisurely fly around the island. Kayo reported that the navigation systems weren't working correctly so I'm working on fixing that. I quite enjoy working on this plane, it's very different from most of our equipment.

*pushes Virgil towards piano*

Though I was a bit concerned that you forgot our relative bodyweights when you initially pushed me and then considered a run up to it 💙💚

How is it when we are well over half way through the 21st century do so many people still value fame and power or the chance to make a quick buck over human life? I will never understand it.

Just gonna have a float and head back in, if you wanna go see @brains-ir 🦦

Yell if you need me / dump water on my face when you’re ready to go

Heading back in, shouldn’t be long. Then snacks. Feels like the kinda night for snacks.

Mm… snacks… snacks good.

Maybe the smell of food will do the equivalent of psspsspsspss…

What snacks are you thinking?

An entire sixteen inch veggie supreme pizza for one squid kinda snack.

I have this plane that is quite fast…

Thirty minutes or it’s free. Lemme pull some pick up appropriate clothes on and I’ll come.

I fear what “pick up appropriate clothes” are and why you would require them. I hope Penny doesn’t need to have words with the staff at Alessandro’s? 😏

Well, what I did mean was not turning up soaking wet in only a pair of bright yellow swim shorts. Which might be more of your concern. When really my eyes are only for the cheez stuffed crust special with enough mushrooms that there’s a fae missing their circle somewhere 😏

Oh right, yeah, good. Different kind of pick up. Excellent. Good. Forget I said anything!

Virgil enjoyed his pizza 💚

Then again, he does talk a lot of nonsense when injured / delirious so nothing he said in that state would be admissible in any respectable jurisdiction so we’re probably ok.

This is a bizarre poll. Is the bot trying to injure us? Does it think we have to confess?

Yes! Ha, yes it was. There were a lot of people, many of them quite excitable and there was always music too - either recorded or someone playing piano (or one of the other instruments Virgil picked up over time) and that was always a pretty nice sound if you don’t include the couple of months he tried to learn to play the ancient set of Scottish bagpipes he picked up in a thrift one summer but it happened at the same time as a lot else was goin’ on y’know so… I mean I loved it but I reckon people who visited probably felt like they were walking into a solid wall of noise.
