Almost... just a little to the right- there, thanks!

[There's a laugh as the feed switches to video. Henry is sitting cross-legged on the floor of his room, clutching two chickens- one of whom who has just finished pecking at his bracelet, somehow managing to turn it on.

Except on closer inspection Henry's not actually holding them. Not in his hands.

He doesn't actually have hands.

Henry has chickenhands.]

Hey-o, Asgard! Look what Thor gave me~

[Two hens, perfectly normal apart from manifesting from someone's wrists. Henry is cradling them carefully in his arms to support them, and the three seem entirely content at this arrangement. The chickens cluck politely to one another, as he rubs his face against each feathery body. It was kind of hard to pet them otherwise.]

Isn't this amazing!? I bet you guys are all jealous, nya ha! But hey, quick question- do you think I still need to feed them? I mean, they're attached to me, but they still have heads and stuff.

If so, does anyone wanna bring me some kind of bird feed? Or Henry feed for that matter! It's a liiiittle hard to pick anything up, and I don't really wanna snack on one of these guys. That could get pretty messy!

[Henry laughs again, but it's not like gnawing off one of his own hands wouldn't fit in with the state of the rest of the room around him. It's halfway-dismantled and full of crows, bloody symbols still scrawled over the window and part of the wall and oh god the mess.]

But weren't those ghosts that appeared awesome? Being haunted's great fun, even if you're not the right target. What kind of cool things did yours say? Mine hurled a loooot of threats, nya ha! I hope they show up again~

He asked me for these.

[video]

[necrowmantic]

And you delivered them! You're the best!

[video]

[averagemedium]

Why would you let him have them.

[Have a REALLY DISMAYED MEDIUM, Thor.]

[video]

[asgardsstrength]

It's a reward for not killing any of those visitors that fell into the city a while ago.

[video]

[averagemedium]

[This is the face of total resignment and defeat.]

...I'll bring you food or something, just-- why. Why chickens. Why anything.

[video]

[necrowmantic]

[This is the face of joy. Or at least, considerable good cheer.]

Yay! I was figuring you would. And what do you mean why, isn't this the most amazing thing you've ever seen?

Hey do you think they'll still lay eggs? In my arms?! Wouldn't that be the coolest!

[video]

[averagemedium]

It's... it's something.

[That's about the most he's willing to give it.]

I really, really hope they don't lay anything. They're not going to peck me, are they?

[video]

[thehedgehogsdilemma]

[ He'd rather not talk about almost getting strangled killed by his spirit that haunted him, so... His was a reaaaally angry (and sad) spirit, even moreso thanks to Reapers. But. Um.

He's just gonna stare a little more at... the... adorable(?) chickens. ]

I could make and bring something, if you'd like?

[ There's an unsure look on his face as he asks this,]

...You're not going to peck anyone with those, are you?

[video]

[necrowmantic]

Hey, I'll take stuff from whoever! I don't mind variety. And I bet these guys will want choices, huh?

[As he hugs the hens a bit more, who seem pretty calm about this whole thing.]

And that entirely depends on how peckish they get, nya ha! Which is why I'm thinking I should maybe feed them.

[video]

[thehedgehogsdilemma]

[ Shinji perks at the answer. (Will get to it, then, shortly!) He'd offer a bento, but it doesn't look like you'd be able to eat it with... your "hands" at the moment. He'll figure something out! ]

T-That's a good idea. I kind of like where my eyes are, right now. [...Shinji, birds don't poke your eyes out. What even...]

You're cheerful for someone who suddenly has birds for hands, though.

video- Henry you're reminding me that I married Chrom twice by accident

[lookingfordragon]

[She was bothered by much now with all the weird stuff thats happened to her in both her home world and here but...He doesn't sound hurt at least.]

A-are those...chickens? Um what would you like to eat?

video- I did that once too c:

[necrowmantic]

They sure are!

[Like it's the most normal thing in the world.]

And I dunno, something tasty!

video- Accidentally s ranked then got caught by Chrom's wedding event, there is no escape.

[lookingfordragon]

[She isn't even going to question it any more. Nope not fazed at all...]

I'll make you some sandwiches, there lots of this 'peanut butter' stuff...I think it goes in the bread somehow...

video.

[livedtwice]

[After seeing Thor's note ...]

Well, I'd worry about you eating your own hands, but I don't think that's why you asked for them. So ...

Do they talk to you, too? If so, are they just speaking your thoughts?

video.

[necrowmantic]

Nope! If I wanted to eat my own hands, I could've done that at any time!

And yeah, they talk to me a lot! But they have their own minds and feelings and stuff. They just happen to also be my hands.

video.

[livedtwice]

Is this the best thing that's ever happened in your life? Aside from ... er, the other, more gruesome things you enjoy.

[You know what. Let's give text a shot.]

[Okay.... switching to video. Just this face forever.]

You have chicken hands?

[tigers]

What do you suppose will happen if I shoot them?

video;

[necrowmantic]

Hm... that's a good question! D'you think they revive like we do? Or maybe it would just take a good healer who knows their way around hands. And poultry.

[Voice]

[themortalhalf]

[Why does all that goddamn noise sound like it's coming from the room next to his?

Maybe because that is exactly what is occurring.]

You asked for these?

[Voice]

[necrowmantic]

[At least the chickens are quieter than the crows that tend to follow him around. And get feathers everywhere. There might also be a cat hissing somewhere in the background. Who's just egged on more by the crows.

Henry is not the best neighbor.]

Sure did! Well- I think it was originally a threat, but I liked the idea so much Thor turned it into a gift!

I bet if you asked him, he'd give you your own set!

video;

[afrozendance]

[B-but why would you ask for something like that...? ]

Oh... Don't they hurt when they peck at something?

video;

[necrowmantic]

At me? Nah, hardly feel a thing!

Don't know about other people, nya ha!
