“Do you think I’m boring? A girl at work invited me to some club and another girl said oh Ellie won’t go, she’s boring. Am I? And is it proving her point that she’s right and I don’t want to go?”

Open Starter

Ravenna was a big coffee drinking, she would drink most of the Starbucks drinks but her typical order was a venti blonde caffe sugar free latte with 3 shots of expresso and soy milk. She was very particular about her drink, and would be the first to bring it back if it wasn’t just right.

So when she saw someone else grab her drink, well it was very apparent that she was fuming, her face set in an ice cold glare as she approached the person.

“Excuse me, that is my drink that you grabbed.”

“Huh?” Ellie took the headphone out of her ear and cocked her head to the side before looking down at the drink. She twisted it slightly to see the name on the side of it. “Oh gosh, you’re right. My mistake! I was so distracted I didn’t even notice. See I was listening to this podcast, Grumpy Old Birder, I just love it. Anyway...” She held the coffee out toward the other woman. “Here. I didn’t drink it, but I’m happy to buy you a new one if you don’t believe me, Ravenna,” she said, repeating the name she’d read on the cup. “Gorgeous name. Ravens aren’t my favourite bird - but they’re certainly beautiful aren’t they?”

“Kev, you know I trust you with my life, but just how sure are you about this Charles Muntz business?”

Elizabeth Docter as Miss Frizzle

Gasping she couldn’t help the deep frown to follow. “I can’t believe people think they can just do as they please. That poor bird was probably terrified . I’m sorry you had to deal some that. How’s the little guy?” She asked with wide eyes.

“He was absolutely terrified. He’s doing okay now, we got him checked out and he seems alright. But I bet he doesn’t go near humans again for a while.”

Matt blinked widely at the woman’s surprising story from her work. He’s had similar incidents at the interactive exhibits where guests can actually touch the stingrays or small creatures, but someone fully holding a live creature just for the hell of it almost gave him a stroke. “Wha- that’s not allowed, he or the bird can get sick from whatever germs they’re carrying. I have a lot of questions for this guy.”

“I promise you, I’ve never wanted to fight another human being so badly. He was so nonchalant about it. Like not even sorry. Where is basic human decency these days?”

Koda felt himself frown. “Wait. What. Where do you even work?” That…wasn’t even okay in a pet store, he couldn’t imagine what would make anyone want to do that outside of…well, anything. “I’ve grabbed birds to see if I could before but not if…they were anywhere that had security.”

“I work at the zoo, where crazy people seem to run rampant.” Ellie frowned, shaking her head. “No. You should not be grabbing bird security or no security. Don’t grab birds anymore.”

[elliesadventurebook]

“Oh, that’s just terrible! The poor bird must have been so afraid.”

“So scared! Took a while to calm him down but he’s alright now.”

[elliesadventurebook]

“I’ve never even been in a situation where I thought I could catch a bird. I’m also not sure why anyone would want to. Did you make sure he wasn’t on some kinda’ drugs or somethin’?”

“He didn’t seem like he was on drugs. But I’m not really sure. He seemed pretty damn aware of what he was doing. Like he wasn’t even sorry he grabbed it.”

Valerie titled her head to the side. The story just got wilder and wilder the more Ellie went on. “Wait….so you’re saying that someone just walked up and grabbed a bird like it was nothin’? That sounds super stupid. And that’s coming from me, Valerie Von Stupid.”

“Exactly. Like either this guy woke up this morning and thought I’m gonna grab a bird today, or he was at the zoo and was like I wonder if I can grab that bird. And I truly don’t know which is worse.”

“…Wow, I guess the zoo is a lot more exciting than I remember it being as a kid,” Dewey replied utterly shocked by the story.  “Like full grown as in middle aged or like twenties cause I can see people around my age doing something weird like that especially for social media.  Maybe he was high, did he seem high?  Is the bird okay?  What kind of bird was it?”

“Maybe people are just a lot crazier than you remember them being as a kid.” Ellie shook her head. “Definitely middle aged. Which was what was so surprising to me. A millennial, I’d definitely buy that. This was surreal.” She tilts her head to the side, thinking. “He didn’t seem high, but I’ve never been the best judge of that. The bird - a Cockatoo - is fine, he got a full examination.”

[elliesadventurebook]

“Today a full grown adult walked up to one of the birds and just grabbed it. Just two hands picked it up. I was like sir you cannot do that. He just shrugged and kept holding it. I asked if it was at least for the vine - or i guess the tik tok - and he said he just wanted to see if he could do it. He literally wouidn’t let go of it until security came.”

❛ Hmm… I’m a sucker for some vegetable chow mein. It’s just so good. ❜ She smiled at the girl. ❛ We should get extra fortune cookies too! They’re secretly my favorite part. ❜ 

“Oh hell yeah, you’re speaking my language. I personally think they taste like cardboard, but I have ice cream in the freezer so I’ll just dip it in that. I gotta see what my future holds.”

“Chinese is good yeah.” Val yawned and shrugged. “I mean. I just want to eat. I’m not picky.”

“Alright, well I’ll order potstickers, sesame chicken, pork lo mein, and hot and sour soup. What do you want?”

[elliesadventurebook]

birdofparadisefalls‌:

“Ooh, yes! One hundred percent Chinese food. You never have to ask.” Kevin bounced a bit excitedly. “Dumplings or spring rolls? Or egg rolls… Or all of them?” 

“Don’t be coy. Obviously all of them.”

Charles was weaving through the crowds, on his way to grab a new hiking bag since his last one had given up on him after a decade of hard use, when he heard a squeal. The squeal was familiar, and he was almost hoping it wasn’t for him, but…Oh well, time to smile. “Ellie? Hello, nice to meet a fan,” he greeted, using one of his better PR grins. “What can I do for you?”

“Oh...” Ellie’s brow furrowed for a moment. “You know, I didn’t think that part through. I’ve imagined meeting you in person since I was like six but I guess I never actually thought what would happen. Um...” She reached to her purse, rifling through it before pulling out an old take out menu and a pen. “An autograph maybe? Not to me, to my friend Carl.”

❛ There’s no such thing as dumb questions I don’t think! Buuut… Chinese does sound yummy, food always does. ❜ 

“Okay, sweet. I’ll call them. What are you feeling? I think Imma go Sesame Chicken.”
