[CSC] Mockingbird Signers Club.

[The Mockingjay]

Mockingbird signing zone.

A powerful white lights beams down from above, the otherwise black dome illuminated at last. A huge bird stands in the middle of the room, spotlighted for all to see, his eyes reflecting the light make him seem almost holy in appearance. The bird opens his wings at the same time he opens his beak. His voice booms out, echoing around the room as if God himself were screaming down from the heavens.

"Chihaya! Step forward. You have been selected."

Every word he speaks leaves his mouth in a completely different, all similarly human voice. He switches from young to old, male to female, happy to sad. Showing his unrivalled vocal dexterity to the fullest.

A second, much smaller spot light shines down from above, this spotlight is tinted blue and is dim and not particularly impressive. "Chihaya" is written on the ground where the spotlight shines. The huge bird stares toward the light, waiting for the person to appear within it.

 

[Chihaya]

Chihaya steps out of the darkness, her foot being the first thing to hit the tiny blue spotlight in which her name is placed. Her next few steps would place her directly under the light and proves to cause her heart race. The creatures loud and diverse words continue to echo throughout the room, causing Chihaya to wait until the quietness returns once again to speak. It is anticipation that Chihaya feels the most and the emotion scratches from under her skin. Within a couple of seconds she looks to the bird directly. Her brown orbs crawl across it's face and stop once they come in contact with the birds black circles. The pupil of the creature is huge in it's self, and stares at her with ferocity and order. It simply waits. And it is simplysilent until Chihaya's words tumble from her lips.

"It is with great respect and honor that I stand before you."

Chihaya's neck is tilted slightly as she looks up at he large bird.

 

[The Mockingjay]

The bird nods at the girls response and appearance. Then a third spotlight turns on to chihaya's right hand side, a girl stands inside the light, young and brown haired, a braid running down over her right shoulder. From her position, with a bow in her left hand, she speaks.

"Enough, Mellark."

The bird and girl vanish in two clouds of smoke. When the smoke clears, the pair have switched places. The bird smiles in a birdy kinda way,and the girl looks toward Chihaya.

"Mockingbirds are masters of disguise. Hiding in plain sight, changing their voices to mimic anyone that they've come across. Mellark here has followed me into countless battles and has even more voices in his locker. He is the king Mockingbird, and is the one who will guide you through the signing of this contract."

The sound of a flying kunai whistles past chihaya's left ear, nothing visible in the darkness beyond her light. A split second later, something far heavier sounding flies straight over her head. And in the peak of her confusion, an explosion of epic proportions echoes out, originating just behind the girls back.

When she turns around, there would be nothing. Just three tiny birds standing in her light, looking up at her through the most innocent of gazes, fluttering their eyes as they do their wings.

 

[Chihaya]

A woman appeared under a third spotlight, but doesn't stay there long as she switches places with the large bird. She talks about Mockingbirds and their trickery. Chihaya listens keenly, nodding her head every few minutes. It catches her by surprise as her ears capture the sound of a kunai, and then something above her. She appears confused and her heart immediately begins to pound against her chest. Where was the sound coming from? Lastly, a series of loud noises... explosions.. rampaged behind her. She quickly turned around, her mind racing. Was it an ambush? Was this place she was lead to a trap? However, as she turned around, there was nothing to be seen. Only emptiness and the sight of three tiny birds. It then clicked in her mind. She was signing the Mockingbird contract and it was the mockingbirds who deceived her senses.

Chihaya was at a loss of words and slowly turned her head back towards the woman, her brown eyes glowing with confusion mixed with awe. Silence hung in the air for what felt like forever.

 

[The Mockingjay]

Katniss whistles, a new bird replaces her underneath the spotlight. He stands proud and beautiful, and still. This bird was Valor, the pacey and energetic one.

Mellark (The huge bird) speaks from under his own spotlight.

"Where would you like to begin? You must learn to understand all of us individually, as we will you. Think, from what you have seen so far... Which of us birds would you like to begin your signing with. That choice is free for you.

I am Mellark.
Behind you are Snow, Hawthorne and Odair
On your right, Valor."

 

[Chihaya]

Chihaya looks between all the birds, her mind racing. It doesn't take her long to chose which bird she'd like to begin the signing with.

"I'd like to start with you, Mellark." Chihaya says, her glistening eyes landing on the large bird.

--------
The spotlights fade, replaced by the real lighting inside the room. The whole room is white, surprising considering the darkness they'd been in before, and before anyone has time to take it in, Mellark drops a small scroll on the ground before all the mockingbirds disappear. Once the birds are gone, the ground begins to shake and from the wall behind Chihaya, the floor begins to open up revealing a huge pit of spikes, surrounded by molten lava. The opening in the floor races toward Chihaya, if she didn't hurry to think of something, the entire ground would vanish beneath her and she'd fall to her really brutal and totally inappropriate to write in detail on this site death.

(There is but one way out of this scenario. The entire ground will disappear regardless of what you do here. Good Luck.)

 

[Chihaya]

Chihaya's eyes widen at the sight of the opening in the ground. The lights shinned off the sharpness of the spikes and the heat of the lava began to find it's way towards her. It all happen so suddenly. Chihaya looks all around the room, her heart pounding against her chest so hard, it's a surprise her ribcage didn't crack open. With no one in sight, her eyes fall upon the scroll. All in the meanwhile, the floor doesn't stop racing towards her. Chihaya decides that the scroll has to be her way out of this death trap and once her joints finally decide to work, she lungs towards the paper. She grabs it and frantically rolls it open. Her eyes glance back at the floor in which is far too close for her personal liking. Her hesitating eyes don't even bother to read over the scroll. Instead, she places her shaky hand on it. Out of a cloud of smoke, a large, familiar bird appears. Chihaya's heel slips as the floor begins to fall directly beneath her.

"Mellark!"

With a quick swoosh, Mellark flapped his wings down to Chihaya and with his large talons, her grasped onto her tiny body. He soared as high as the room would let him, and Chihaya's lungs took in as much air as her the tiny bags would allow.

"I almost.. died."

Chihaya tightly closed her eyes for a quick moment, her heart rate slowing down. The bird held onto her tightly as Chihaya put all of her trust in him.

Mellark drops the girl before flying down and allowing her to land softly atop his back. Flying around the room, Mellark speaks to the girl.

"Yes, perhaps. But you didn't. And that is because you trusted in me. That is what this contract is really about, the bond between summoner and summonee is one of complete trust. I trust that you would not let me down should I need you, and you must trust me in that same way, just as you did for that exercise. "

The floor closes up and Mellark lands.

"The Mockingbirds call me 'King'. Truth is, I'm just another bird, I rely on them as much as they do me, and you will come to do the same. My strengths and there's are different entirely, as are our weaknesses. My personal 'mock' comes in the form of your wind techniques, if you know it, I can use it. Handseals are a no go, but with these wings, the power of a fan is easily mimicked. My size could be seen as a strength, but also a weakness. Think the situation through before you summon any of us, for you may only get one chance to get it right.

Anything you'd like to know beyond what I have told you?"

 

[Chihaya]

As Chihaya sits in Mellark's comfortable feathers, he lands. She crawls off of him and places her two feet on the solid ground. She listens to what he tells her and she absorbs all the information to the best of her ability. Chihaya felt grateful that she will be gaining new friends... new family.

"I have no further questions. I will make sure to think before I act. I wont put my family in harms way if I can't protect them myself."

Chihaya gives a warm smile, ready to continue.

Chihaya gives a warm smile, ready to continue.

Mellark smiles in a birds kinda way at the mention of family, that is what they would be.

"Good, test number two will begin any moment. Be ready. Choose wisely. Valor is quick and nimble and will substitute with you upon being summoned, you will be safe in our world whilst Valor fights your battle in yours.
Snow, Hawthorne and Odair are brilliant tools for use a distraction, they each specialise in various battleground sounds and are small enough to fly past many opponent without giving up their positions.

I will monitor your progress from the the bird district. Farewell."

Mellark vanishes, and so do the lights. Utter darkness feels the room and the ground begins to rumble again, this time though, it stops after a short period and the rumbling is replaced by a low growl... More than one. The growls are similar but able to tell apart, there are three separate growls, each from different sides of the room and moving in circles around Chihaya. Suddenly, two lights beam down from the sky, each about three feet from chihaya's position, one to her left the other to her right. The left, blue light drops a whistle with a glowing tag on it with the word 'Valor'. The second red light drops a small piece of paper with 'Family of Mockery' written on it in glowing yellow ink, as well as the symbol for the summoning jutsu on it.

The growls edge closer, and three pairs of glowing eyes can be seen edging their way toward you.

Make your choice.

 

[Chihaya]

As the growls get uncomfortably close to Chihaya, she looks between her two options. The only logical choice to her was Valor. She reached out and grabbed the whistle, blowing into it with delicate air. She glanced back at the glowing eyes and couldn't help but gulp in fear. Just as one of the creatures lunges out towards her, a strange, unfamiliar feeling washed over her and in the blink of an eye, she was in a different place. It was a beautiful place but the panic in Chihaya's eyes caused her to only look at the ground in which she stood on. It was when she looked up that she saw Mellark. She felt relief and security wash over her.

"Did I complete the test correctly?" Chihaya's words tumble messily from her mouth.

Mellark remains perfectly still, almost statuesque. The test was not complete. There was more than one test to pass in this situation.

 

[Chihaya]

Chihaya thinks of a correct way to pass the test. She faces her fears and blows the whistle again, appearing back into battle. The growling creatures with their blue eyes were surrounding her, there faces tired and irritated from chasing Valor. Chihata made sure to keep purely still, not making any movements. Her eyes slowly glanced at the small paper on the ground. The Family of Mockery. With a pray to God and with all the courage she had left, she lunged for the tiny scroll and planted her hand on it. All of the creatures pounced, but stopped in mid-attack as an even deeper, more terrifying growl emerged from behind the them. They slowly backed away from Chihaya. Then, sharp, quick noises zoomed past their ears. The sound of kunai. The high pitched noises caused them to whine and back away into the darkness. The tiny birds didn't stop until they were running back to where they came from.

Chihaya laid on her stomach, still in the position that she was from activating the summoning. She sighed heavily from all the stress and hoped that she had done something right this time.

Mellark appears behind the girl. Valor stands beneath Mellark's powerful frame. The Family join the others, all sitting upon Mellark's large body. With all the birds assembled, Mellark speaks.

"When you landed in our world, With Valor out here in your place. What did you say to me? Did I complete the test correctly..."

Mellark looks down at Valor standing beneath him.

"At that point in time, Valor was out here, three dangerous enemies and alone. Your first thought upon arriving in our lands, was the successful passing of our 'test'. This whole time we had been trying to make you understand that the most important thing to us is family. That we can trust one another to have our backs, ours yours and yours ours. You relied on Valor to save you, calling him into battle, but then forgot to look out for him. Even though you cannot work directly with one another, you are a team and should act like one."

Valor hops forward a few feet.

"Understand?"

Mellark was not angry, not concerned. His voice was stern for other reasons.

 

[Chihaya]

Guilt hit Chihaya like a train.

"During all the chaos and panic, I wasn't thinking everything through."

Chihaya speaks honestly.

"I understand the severity of my mistake. I don't ever plan to make it again."

With her brown eyes clouded with concern, she looks down at Valor. He had hopped a few feet forward and was looking around aimlessly. It was then that Chihaya's instincts took over and she took a couple steps forward, kneeling down in front of him.

"I'm really sorry, Valor. You mean a lot to me. From this day forward, I promise I'll never fail to protect you again."

With that being said, Chihaya extended her arm forward, holding out her index finger, wishing for Valor's tiny claws to clasp on.

"I trust you, always. Do you trust me?"

 

[The Mockingjay]

Valor nodded to the girl and hopped back to his position beneath Mellark's huge frame. He can talk, but rarely does, and the only voice in his catalogue at this point would have been Chihaya's which was just too odd to bring out. Instead Mellark does the talking as always.

"You're forgiven, it seems you meant well, your intentions are pure and that is fine by us."

-------
So obviously, you cannot use Valor without sound release, but you are now able to (once you meet all the individual requirements) to summon any mockingbird you wish to use. If you have any ideas for birds or bird techniques then feel free to run them by me and I'll contemplate submitting them for your use in the future.

Before we settle up here, any questions about any of the birds or their abilities?

 

[Chihaya]

Chihaya smiles,

"I've no further questions."

 

[The Mockingjay]

Welcome then
