One | Video | Birds and Fish
[The video opens up to Amos sitting on a rooftop, the trees of the park off in the distance behind him. He's got a jabberjay perched on either shoulder, and he gives the camera a sunny grin.]
Hi! So. Ya'll've probably noticed the birds. I know they can be annoying an' rude, but I'm gonna ask that you please not kill 'em. They're actually really useful.
They like trouble an' excitement an' people, an' when I asked a few of 'em agreed to watch around the arena an' the streets for me. So them making a fuss is a pretty useful alarm system. I've been leavin' out bread an' fruit for 'em, 'cause they told me they like that best. It'd be pretty helpful, though, if ya'll could do the same.
Oh, an' they recognize faces an' voices, so if you've bothered them before, uh, they'll remember that an' they won't like you. Bribing them with food works pretty well, though, as you can see with my buddies here.
[Amos nods to the birds on his shoulders. One of them is eyeing Amos's shiny multiple earrings in a very concentrated 'I want to steal that' way: the other is cheerfully unraveling a thread from Amos's shirt-collar. Truthfully, only three of the jabberjays are absolutely willing to aid Amos; the rest are passingly indifferent to his requests but Amos can still 'hear' them when they start a fuss, if they're within a half mile of him. But no need to let everyone in on those details.]
Oh, and for some reason, they're all male, in case anyone was curious.
So thanks, please be nice to the birds! An' the fish in the river like handouts too, just passin' it on.

I don't think it's too weird at all. But then, I live there, so...
[Maaaaybe he's biased. Just a little bit. Plus, he's always been more intrigued than frightened by the supernatural in the world, drawn to the mystery and beauty of myth and legends.]

[He snorts.]
Take it from somebody who's not from there, demons possessin' people is pretty weird.
I mean, I've heard about one where I'm from, but that doesn't make it normal.
[So having them crawling all over the place (as he imagines is the case in his world) is very strange.]

I don't think demons possessing people is normal anywheres.
An' if it is, I don't wanna visit there.
[Definitely not. Once was more than enough, thank you.]
no subject
Has anybody ever told you that you sound like a smart guy?
no subject
Sometimes!
My best friend is pretty convinced I'm an idiot, though, so I hear that more often.
He's not saying it to be mean, though, so it's okay.
[More like a kind of reversed affection? Kat is rather grumbly and prickly but Amos is fond of him anyway. Kat is the reason death-glares and vicious insults have no effect on Amos: he's become too used to them being used to hide affection.]

Then I take it back--I guess I should listen to their better judgement.
I know people like that. My friends are the same way.
[Don't worry, man, no judgement here. That's just what friends do.]
