It was dark, mysterious, bone scattered and absolutely terrifying. The thrill of each little sound made her jump with a bit of excitement. She was used to the barren city streets, not a mountain side gorge or the tall lush trees. The raven glided through the air effortlessly, eyeing her surroundings. The last thing she wanted was to find another Lawaii member out here. She wasn't very social despite her being a bird. The female landed on the mossy earth, knowing that it was inevitable to run into another retro bird whether she liked it or not. After a while of hopping about and flying a few meters every once in a while, she came across the carcass of an animal. It seemed to be a rodent of some sort, perhaps an opossum or large rat. The body looked fresh and pretty disgusting, but delicious to Alune. The black bird began to peck at the skin and fur of the dead thing until she had poked holes in its skin with her sharp beak. Coming across supper like this was rare for the retromorph, and though wary of what could have caused the animal to die, she took the meal without much hesitation. It didn't smell of poison or disease, so it must have been edible. Well, for a scavenger. She continued to rip little shreds of flesh from the corpse and gulp them down greedily. It had been a while since she had eaten. Sunlight streamed through the treetops and on her black feathers, the tint of blue-purple now visible. The warmth of the sun was nice, better than being covered up by the greenery, cold and shivering. -- ooc | first post with Alune!

As a bird of wetlands she was anything but familiar with such rocky and uneven landscapes. It unnerved her. The sounds of clattering rocks as they fell from their perches and the echoes that would bounce off of the rocks had her jumpy. She would have very much rather be some place else, but she was to be looking for possible food for the flock. Now, Lien was not one who enjoyed work, having never bothered much with it herself as she only ever had to really care for herself most of her life. When she had had chicks there had indeed been work, but she had the help of her mate. So, work had never been a hard thing for her to do. But, now that she was living in such a large group of other birds she hardly had much of a choice. She would not just leave her flock to starve, the feathered retro was too kind to do such a thing. Ruffling her grey and black feathers, Lien-Hua clumsily stepped over a few loose rocks, her wings flapping out a bit uselessly in an attempt to regain her balance. Clicking her beak together harshly in irritation, the white-naped crane was tempted to simply switch her forms and carry on that way. She was not one who particularly enjoyed her weaker form, but there were times when such a shape came in handy. But, before she had much time to linger on such ideas and thoughts, the flapping of wings brought her attention to another somewhere off to her side. Stretching her neck faintly, Lien-Hua eventually took a few tentative steps towards the other bird, not quite recognizing who it was. Her head jerked down for a moment as she turned her head to the side to get a better look at the small bird before suddenly snapping her head around to the other side, her curiosity getting the best of her.
