Yo, guess who's back?

[Nyx, that is hardly a question when people can see you right there. Literally right there, the camera is on. Still, she leans back in her seat, grinning.]

I know it's exciting, but stay calm. Try not to get yourselves too worked up, alright? I took a nice long vacation, but I know you guys can't keep holdin' yourselves together without me, so here I am, takin' pity on all you poor jackasses and gracin' you with my presence again. I will accept thanks in the form of cash, feel free to drop it by my office any time that's convenient for you.

[She snickers at this herself, like she knows it's bullshit.]

Anyone who don't recognize me, and you can count yourself all kinds of unlucky, name's Nyx. I'm gonna be teachin' Combat Strategy. If you can't figure out what that means on your own, don't bother showin', 'cause I don't know if I can help you. Classes meet in the stadium, and they're gonna be startin' whenever the hell I want 'em to.

See you then.

[ There are small scratches all over the edges of the screen because claws and technology don't really mix???

And then suddenly. A bird. ]

Okay. Uh-huh. So... Wait. I've got this. [ Let him just peck his feathers a little. Twist his neck around to loosen up. ] This is Stark... Right?

I'm in Stark. The Stark. No big deal. [ Yes, big deal. He's been having a sort of crisis about this all day. He can feel himself molting already! ]

...How exactly? Just. How? All of April's talk about the Balance and how we can't exist in each other's realms or... something... like that...? Uh... Okay, so I wasn't really paying attention to the details! [ Yeah. He really wasn't. And now he really wishes he had. ] How the heck did I get to Stark?!

[ Keep it together, Crow. ]

Okay, okay. In Stark. Got it. Not complaining. Just observing.

...

So has anybody actually seen April around? Ryan? ...April Ryan. Human girl. Kind of pretty looking, I think. With hair and... clothes... I hope...
