027 - audio

[tapestodiane]

[There's a sound a bit like static, then some rustling and clicking. Following that, a trill, a whistle, and something Talking Bird Julee feels she obviously has to share with the world:]

Diane. Diane.

[A few more clicks - probably from her beak. She has a pretty light voice, but she goes darker for the next line.]

Holy smokes.

[And then she'll just be whistling the tune to I've Told Ev'ry Little Star for a while. Who knows where Cooper is - probably off getting a caffeine fix or something.]

[...BRB, double-checking the ID on this device to make sure it's really who she thinks it is. And to be amused a little at the serenade, besides.]

Hello, Diane.

audio;

[tapestodiane]

_{[And that encourages Julee to another small round of whistling, before there's a new rustle and she answers, quite cheerfully,]}

Hello, Diane!

audio;

[doitrockapella]

[Well, hello there, mysterious Gear abductor. Aren't you a pretty...well, what she assumes is a bird, anyway.]

Not quite. Try, "Carmen". "Hello, Carmen."

audio;

[tapestodiane]

_{[No what do you mean, Coop can't have a young whistling ... niece? Or something?]}

Carmen, hello.

Hello lo lo.

_{[Click click.]}

audio;

[doitrockapella]

[A young whistling niece who repeats everything she hears? SURE OKAY.]

Very good. That's much better.

[She is just so amused right now.]

Where did you learn that song, I wonder?

audio;

[tapestodiane]

Dam, da-dam!

_{[She whistles the next few notes, then adds, quite helpfully,]}

Cooper.

audio;

[doitrockapella]

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-dam.

[Catchy tune, that.]

Who would've guessed he'd be so inclined. What else can you say?

[bamfsecretary]

{Hi, fellowtinybird! Have a Natu squeaking at you.}

Wow, you sing good!

{Video}

[tapestodiane]

_{[Eee! Julee doesn't know how to turn the video on, but she feels good about the praise.]}

Thank you! I listen to my trainer.

{Video}

[bamfsecretary]

Does he sing too? Wow, I wonder what you'd sound like together!

{audio}

[tapestodiane]

He "whistles"! But I think it's nice when he does it with me.

_{[Tilting her head a bit, she taps the feed. Not that the Natu can see it, but the noise is there.]}

What kind are you? We look a bit alike!

{Video}

[bamfsecretary]

I don't think Nana-chan can whistle.... But she can play the piano!!

{Bouncing a little!}

We look alike? Cool!! My name's Cassandra, and I'm a Natu! What are you??

{Video}

[tapestodiane]

Chatot! "Music bird". I'm Julee!

Re: {Video}

[bamfsecretary]

Nice to meet you, Julee!!

...gosh, I wish my trainer was here. It's so boring without her.

[foolishwren]

<sub>[They say pets often resemble their owners. This isn't always true, but in some cases, it is.]

[Wren is one of those cases.]

[Because like Heather, Wren is quite intelligent.]

[Also like Heather, she prefers to act like an idiot and use that intelligence to be incredibly annoying.]

[The feed clicks on, and a croaky (but somehow rather melodic) voice responds.]</sub>


Diane?

Holy smokes, Batman!

<sub>[WHISTLE.]



[yes Heather has indeed taught her pet crow that "holy " should be followed with "Batman". SHE REGRETS NOTHING.]</sub>

[Audio]

[tapestodiane]

_{[Julee recognises fellow bird quickly, and gets very excited about it. She whistles back, mimicking the tone and length of Wren's, and then proceeds to question that new thing she mentioned. Also by mimicking.]}

Batman? Bat-man?

_{[WHAT IS A BAT. Oh wait, she gets it.]}

Zubat? Zu-bat-man?

[Audio]

[foolishwren]

_{[There's a few seconds of chatter on the other end before Wren responds with:]}

Zu!

Zuzuzuzuzuzu! <sub>[GROK.]


[She knows what Zubats are! She is a very clever bird. c:]</sub>

[Audio]

[tapestodiane]

_{[And because Julee ALSO knows what Zubats are, because she is ALSO intelligent, she goes right ahead and does their screech-thing, as heard from a pokédex.]}

Sssshhhhrrrreee!

_{[Totally spot on, right there.]}

[Audio]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[This is the most stimulating conversation EVER.]

[Gleefully, Wren repeats the screech-- several times, in fact-- although it eventually just sort of degenerates into horrible screaming noises because she likes hearing the sound of her own voice, and she's apparently devoted her life to learning as many ear-piercing sounds as possible.]

[Anyone outside either of these hotel rooms probably thinks something horrible is happening in there.]</sub>

[Audio]

[tapestodiane]

<sub>[Probably, since they're spurring each other on. Julee continues to play along, even if her own noises are much more melodical - being the Music Note pokémon, it comes naturally to her - so it sort of serves as a background melody to Wren's screaming.]

[... so basically, this is the start of the first pokémon band. Emo screamo, maybe?]


[Nevermind the annoyed bark in the background, by the way, Tricia doesn't understand the fine art of SCREECHY SINGING.]</sub>

[quickattackjack]

_{[Cue instant WORRY MODE.]}

Cooper? Cooper? Are you there? What's going on?

_{[OH GOD WHAT IF HE FELL OFF A LEDGE hi Phoenix flashbacks.]}

[audio]

[tapestodiane]

_{[Julee recognises the worry, but she doesn't immediately understand why it's there. She gives off a little chirp to express this confusion before she tries to explain.]}

Coffee-ee?

[audio]

[quickattackjack]

_{[Sure Coop liked coffee but this was NOT Coop.]}

Who are you? What have you done with Cooper?

[audio]

[tapestodiane]

<sub>[... :c what?]

[She didn't do anything! She loves him. But she doesn't quite have the vocabulary to explain that he just left. So she says her name instead. Maybe then this other voice will trust her?]</sub>

Julee. Julee.

[audio]

[quickattackjack]

Who's Julee!?

_{[Jack stop yelling into your poke'gear in public.]}

I demand you tell me what's going on this instant!
