Chickens; [Open]

There were few things that could wrong-foot Natsuki Hayashi: she prided herself on her ice-cool demeanor. Even in the face of a vehemently yelling boss or an obnoxiously obstructive bureaucrat droning on about forms and signatures, she knew that if she composed herself then the other would break long before she did.

Sometimes, though, there were times that cool demeanor failed her.

Like when a massive clutch of chickens clustered around a trio of people, one of whom was trying to scoop a metric ton of katanas from the ground.

"What."

Curious, Natsuki ambled over, trying not to step on any of the chickens. The book-filled bag in her arms threatened to spill over as she navigated the horde. The stink of feathers and hay filled her nostrils.

"Okay," she said, once she was close enough, "are you the ones who own these... these chickens?" A fat hen brushed against her ankle as it walked past, clucking.

Oh. A newcomer. Satosu stood back up, nodding a bit at Jessica, ("Sama? How odd.") He looked at Natsuki, shrugging. "Not ours. They just kind of appeared. Stranger things have happened in this town, I guess." He didn't know this person, though. And he knew most of the people in this town. He put on a confident smile, holding one arm close up to his face, fingers curled. "Who're you, by the way?" He gave a small, theatrical bow. "Satosu Hasha, at your service."

Miyuki totally would have introduced herself but she had put one of the swords in her mouth to lighten the load a bit. Stuff was hard to hold onto properly. She just kind of gave a nod of achknowledgement and let Satosu introduce her. "And this is my serv - " Kick. "Ngh. This is Miyuki Fusoku."

Oh, wondrous, another new one! Perhaps Jessica could try to convert her into Christianity. Well, she needed to answer her question first. "Like he said," she said as she pointed at Satosu while still repairing the lock of the coffin. Then a few seconds later, she finished repairing before she got up and faced the newcomer. "I am Sister Jessica Goodwill, nice to meet you," she smiled brightly at Natsuki.

As Natsuki came closer, she saw the strangers for who they were. Two of them were in their teens: a young girl with long brown hair and a young man with the looks of a young J-rock star. The other was a tall, busty Caucasian woman in an outfit that could be called a nun's habit were it not for the slits in the side that showed off her legs.

Natsuki half-expected to see a comically huge sweatdrop hanging over her forehead. The whole thing smacked of an outlandish scenario from the pages of a manga.

"Nice to meet you," she said, keeping her face as calm as she could. "My name is Natsuki Hayashi." She turned to the tall woman, adjusting her spectacles and trying to match her smile. "So, you're a nun? I've never seen one before."

Not in real life, anyway.

As if at the request of a slightly-drunken man on the internet, there was suddenly an aerial piranha situation.

A bunch of them just kind of started dropping from the ceiling, even though there was nowhere for them to drop from. Most of them were just kind of flopping around on the floor, but some of them landed on people. Or chickens, for that matter. Some of them bit, some of them just kind of bounced off and went back to flopping around on the floor.

Satosu somehow managed to remain entirely unaffected and Miyuki had one bite her arm, barely managing to hang on. It couldn't penetrate her skin, though. She just kind of wiggled her arm a bit and it fell off. There wasn't any visible wound on her. Odd.

Jessica smiled broadly as she saw the 'miracle' of having a bunch of piranha falling down the ceiling. She picked up a piranha by its tail. The carnivorous fish flipped around, squirming and wiggling like a fish should. "Aww... this is so cute~" she cooed before she looked at Miyuki. "Don't you agree?" she asked.

"Lo and behold! The Lord has displayed us His might by showing us these cute little things. Don't you guys agree?" she looked at the others.

Something wet and slimy smacked against Natsuki's head, and she uttered a sound somewhere between a shriek and a yell. She swiped at her head. A piranha dropped at her feet with a wet slap, causing all the chickens around her to run around in a panic.

More and more piranhas began to fall around her, driving the chickens into a frenzy. The air was filled with angry clucks and feathers as they ran around, dodging the falling fish and brushing against her legs. Through the noise she could hear the nun praising the Lord for this odd event.

"Cute?!" Natsuki stared with disgust at the fish flopping on the floor. She stepped away as it threatened to smear her shoes with slime. An angry squawk caused her to turn just as a hen, her tail feathers all ruffled, scratched at her legs. The pain made Natsuki hiss as she skittered back. Looking at her left leg revealed three moderately deep scratches, red with blood.

"This is not happening," she said as she tried to stanch the bleeding in her legs. "This is... this is utterly ridiculous!"

Satosu continued to be almost entirely unaffected by the sea of fish. Not one had hit him so far. He was, however, still pretty perturbed. He ignored the nun praising the lord and the lady freaking out, instead looking up at the ceiling. "Where are these even coming from...?"

Miyuki, on the other hand, was more concerned with the part where all the piranhas were kind of unable to breath. "Uh... shouldn't we try and find a fishtank or something? They're gonna, like, drown."

"Ah, great thinking, Miyuki-sama~" Jessica cheered. "But one question remains: where can we get a fishtank to keep these cute little things?" she said while ignoring Natsuki's outburst. Things were getting really fun this time.

Natsuki stared at them. They seemed more concerned with the fish than her heel. Although she could see the point, the pain was pissing her off too much to care.

"Uh... people?" she said, trying to keep her voice level. "I'm bleeding here. A little help? Please?"
