feather fluff friday!

if you had wings...


Don't you wish you could fly?

Uh, well...about that. Now you can! See, for some reason, Stacy / GLaDOS / a wizard thought it would a real hoot to curse (bless?) you and now you've sprouted wings! It doesn't matter if your species would look silly with wings, you're a book, you can already fly without them, or whatever else. Too bad, you're stuck with them!

- Post the wing type you got saddled with---choose one on your own, use a RNG to choose, or leave it up to your partner! Your partner can feel free to have wings too.
- Characters who already have wings can have them modified in some way: if they can only glide, they're now capable of flight, or they can spout glitter and rainbows upon flapping. OR you can add an appendage of your choice---horn? Tail? Tentacle? Go wild.
- React, laugh, and have fun!

Wing Types:
01. Fluffy Angel Wings - The typical type you probably think of when 'wings' come to mind - you're all fluffy and downy like a Cherub - not to mention...these are very sensitive to touch...
02. Black Wings - they're beautiful, but seem a little off - and they stick out like a sore thumb!
03. Filligree Wings - very slight, very delicate and very beautiful - these are like filmy gauze attached to your skin and the most managable - if you like spider webs.
04. Fairy Wings - two sets, lucky you, you look just like a butterfly, and man are they strong - but it's hard to get them all folded up right, isn't it?
05. Devil Wings - you're like some overgrown bat - maybe you should be the one avoiding public the most for now, these might poke someone in the eye!
06. Your choice! You don't have to choose any of these, as far as your imagination goes is fine. And if there's a wing type in your canon that makes more sense, go for it!

"I do," Billy confirmed, smiling. "She's lucky to have him, and he was a great help and comfort to us when she was affected by the clock."

He'd just choose not to mention that Nokosi had been partially responsible for the mess he'd helped Billy clean up.

"I'd be all set to go if Fontaine would only stop growling at me. He really doesn't like me at all."

[morphitudinous]

Has Billy suddenly sprouted a hunchback? Not quite, but the large black coat he's stuffed himself into sure gives that impression. He's finally gotten back home after a long and painful day of wing-hiding, very surprised to see that they both had the same issue.

She definitely looked happier than he did, though. He walked over, tentatively brushing her back just above where the wing joined it.

"Ronnie? Looks like you've got quite the surprise there."

[chosenfamily]

Sam grinned at the relaxation. "Well, the lack of things being thrown at me is a good sign."

[starbolts]

Starfire happened to float up to him a short time later, slightly slower than usual. The wind resistance caused by the new, black, and fairly useless appendages attached to her back would be the cause of that.

Splicer's wings were much more fitting, she thought.

"The wing growths are spreading," Starfire said, concern in her eyes. "Are you all right?"

[starbolts]

Peter looked fairly distressed, but his wings! His control was very good for a first time flier.

"The buzzing of the insects is a wonderful sound, and it suits you---but do you wish for a pair of earmuffs?"

First things first, apparently.

"I wouldn't be surprised if he helped Ronnae with some of those pranks," Kaya said dryly. "I wouldn't have thought so before, but when it comes to Nokosi, he has this tendency to play tricks on people just for fun."

She looked confused. "Really? Fontaine seems to really like me...but Nokosi DID say he had a tendency to like, um, pretty ladies or something."

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

She was so into her newly acquired appendages that she did a small little jump of surprise and a yelp, turning back on her heel immediately and blushing as soon as she saw and heard Billy.

"B-Billy! Oh ah h-hi..." Eeep! She's embarrassed for sure.

[expendable-mind.livejournal.com]

Splicer looked back and smiled, he already knew who it was just from the caring and warm voice.

"Yeah, I am. But it seems like I'm not the only one who suddenly sprouted wings yeah? Not that you needed them of course. So how bout you beautiful? How ya holdin' up?" He asked, looking her once over to see for himself if there was anything wrong.

His wings spread back, wavering and swaying in the air eerily yet entrancing.

[morphitudinous]

"He did," Billy replied, just as dryly. Was she reading his mind again? "But he helped me clean up, and he made sure I had everything I needed to care for Ronnie. I'm so glad she's safe now---that was a rough time."

He fluttered his wings, drifting just a little higher with the current. "Well that would explain it. I'm definitely not a pretty girl," he made a face, "but there's more to it than that. I think Fontaine believes I'm a threat to his standing with Ronnae."

[morphitudinous]

"Hey," Billy smiled, reaching out to take her hand. If he could get his hand out of this coat, that is. A very suspicious coat it was.

"When did they grow? I...wow," he admired them, so tempted to touch. They were very different from his own new set.

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

"I can imagine," Kaya said, who remembered all too well what a rough time it had been with Ronnae-less on the impact on Ronnae and more on the pains it caused trying to keep track of the rambunctious girl. Happily, it did not last too long, and Kaya talked to her afterward.

Kaya laughed, fluttering her wings a bit higher. "What? That's just silly: why would beig with you decrease his standing in Ronnae's eyes?"

[starbolts]

Starfire was so happy to hear that he was fine. She floated over, those black wings still fluttering behind her.

"I do not understand why they have grown. I do not require them," she laughed awkwardly, reaching over. "But you have a wonderful new gift! Have you used it yet?"

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

She smiled timidly, "A... a few minute ago actually. It was really surprising since it happened while I was in the bath.... But they remind me of the red dragons from back home. They have similar wings. Much larger of course."

She then tilted her head curiously at Billy and tugged on his coat. "Aren't you hot in that hun?" Says the girl who always sports a hoodie...

[expendable-mind.livejournal.com]

One of the psionic tendrils moved towards her hand and wrapped itself around it gently. It felt warm and comforting, sending pleasant vibrations as it somewhat hummed.

"Jus' tryin' em out actually. Controllin' em seems easy enough since they seem to play off my powers already."

[morphitudinous]

Billy tapped his chin, wondering. He wasn't quite sure about that either. "I think it might be simple envy. Animals can sometimes hate it when a distraction appears, and my presence takes Ronnae's attention away from him somewhat. I can feel the disdain whenever he's nearby."

It was awfully irritating after a while.

[morphitudinous]

"They look truly powerful. It should be impossible for a humanoid to fly with wings, but...stranger things have happened, you just might," he said in awe, tentatively stroking the end of one to see what it did.

Here, he squirmed a little. "I am, I just needed a break from the attention."

What attention, you ask? He lowered the coat from his shoulders when he determined they were safe from spying eyes. Two delicate pure white wings stretched to their full span.

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Kaya looked a little bothered by this. She had actually come to love Fontaine, he seemed so sweet. She couldn't imagine why he'd have such an aversion to Billy. Fontaine was his own person though, so it was unlikely she could do much about it.

"Just give him time Billy, he'll come around. I guess it takes awhile for people to adjust to new things."

She was awfully glad, though, Billy was overlooking the slight glow she had when mentioning Nokosi.

[starbolts]

Starfire giggled, her hand twitching before it was released. How interesting!

"Yes, I remember. I will fly with you, if you desire a partner?"

[morphitudinous]

Billy had thought the same thing, but he wasn't quite so sure. "Do you think so? I've been with her for a few months by now, and he still won't trust me. I'd spend more time with Nokosi if that wasn't an issue."

He was partially oblivious for now, Kaya, but not forever! Something about that idea had already appeared in his head.

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

They felt nice, the scales were tough and protective and yet had a nice smooth coat over them, almost like soft leather. It sent a small shiver up Ronnae's spine and she smiled, her wings spreading and closing again.

When she saw Billy's wings however, she jumped a little excitedly and smiled. "So pretty! How did you, is everyone sprouting wings now?" She asked curiously as she fawned over them happily.

[expendable-mind.livejournal.com]

"Would be honored if you were." He grinned and winked at her, slowly gliding up and back as the wings fluttered slowly. It looked as mystifying as a jellyfish's swim.

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

""Maybe you need to have a nice heart to heart?" Kaya suggested. "Animals are sometimes funny that way: there are some things that just need to be approached face to face. I wonder why he would hold the grudge that long though."

She tried to keep him engaged on that.

[morphitudinous]

Billy knew she was probably right, as always. "That could be it. I'll see what I can do, though I worry he might have more cause to attack me now. My scent's probably changed."

Wings had to smell different. He glanced out the side of his eye at them, feeling just a little awkward.

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

"I don't think he'd actually want to go all out and attack you though. He does care a lot about Ronnae, right? And he knows you are her mate. I can't see him wanting to go that far."

She hoped not anyway. She was rather fond of Fontaine, she couldn't imagine him and Billy not getting along.

"Still dealing with them hmm? If Nokosi weer here, he'd probably be, I don't know, flying around by now, or causing trouble. Glad he doesn't know about this."

"Every time I try to control them, they just flop. And when I relax, they try to make me fly."

For just an instant she imagined creeping down to the City and soaring high over the buildings. Then she imagined the wings disappearing, and her falling. No. No high flying for her.

"Well, that's one good thing." She let go with her hands, and then her feet, and slowly hovered up above the couch. One foot, five feet - but how was she supposed to steer?
