[Welcome to Azakawa.

It's a small village tucked away in the mountains. There's really nothing particularly notable about it, except maybe for the more spiritually sensitive who will hear the hate and resentment coming from the spirits of the forest if they get near. (But Suga will tell you not to get near.)

The museum is usually near-empty save for Suga and C-ta, and sometimes Pericles if he's visiting. Suga will foist glowstone charms off on anyone who visits - he has enough to spare and he's happy to finally be able to do something to protect his friends. You can read about the history of the village and the Kotori Obake.

Every now and then you'll overhear something unpleasant - like a village official telling Suga to give up on his superstitious nonsense and let the museum be torn down already, it's not his problem that Suga is too creepy to get another job. Suga seems entirely used to this kind of treatment.

It's not a big deal. He has friends here now, and he's happy. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks of him.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[FINE but only because ~~he has enough hate in him for the both of them~~ that comment gets him to snort a little.]

No, zere hasn't been. If I ever vanted somebirdie, it woult be nice to actually hold a conversation wis zem.

["How vas your day, dear?"
"Caw."
"HOW COULT YOU DO ZIS TO ME-"]

You could visit Nageki's world, but that has its own problems...

[How does Pericles feel about his partner being much larger than him.]

True. It woult be an issue to explain vhy I am...so small in comparison to ozers.

[He is not sure if he could get that message across without it sounding wrong.]

Additionally, I am not sure if I woult actually be interested in romance. It is not somesing I have ever consitered before.

[Before, most of his thoughts were focused on the entity. Getting its power and everything that came with it. Now that he had a life of his own...he wasn't fully sure what to do with it.]

As long as you're happy, that's what really matters.

[Plenty of people - humans and birds alike - are fine without romance in their lives.]

I appreciate the sentiments.

[Will he ever try to find somebirdie? He doesn't know, but for now he is just fine with having friends.]

[Friends and scritches, because he is getting scritches now.]

[Leaning into those scratches because yes yes more please]

[Suga has an infinite supply of scritches and all of them are for Pericles.]

I'm glad you came here.

[he loves his life. he loves his life so. much.]

As am I, my friend.

I hope you're not getting too bored here. I know it's a lot quieter than you and Yuuta are used to...

[But that's not necessarily a bad thing, he thinks?]

Honestly? Having some peace and qviet may be new, but it is a new sing I can not help but enjoy. I do not vant to even go into how much time I wasted going after zat verdammt treasure...

[At least a decade-maybe even more. Those mystery kids had better have solved things by now.]

Way too much time.

...Did you know what you wanted it for, at first? Or was it just to solve the mystery...?

[That makes him silent for a moment, thinking about that point in his life, before letting out a sigh.]

Honestly? Herr Kujo hit the nail on the head, more or less, vhen he hat vonce asked. I believe I hat wanted total control of the worlt-and vas trying to take it by force.

And consitering vhat I know now? I am convinced it woult have only gotten myself killed raser zan getting myself 'vhat I vanted.'

[Air quotes because that is not at all what he wants now that's he's himself.]

...Why would anyone actually want to control the whole world? That sounds like a recipe for migraines.

[It's stressful enough trying to manage one forest.]

Someone not truly in zeir right mind, most likely.

[Since he was definitely not in his right at that time.]

Fortunately I know better now, ant only have plans for...vhat is it called again? R & R?

[He is genuinely not sure-that is how you know this bird needs a break.]

R & R sounds good. Maybe some hobbies? Those are always good for relaxation.

[What hobbies does Pericles have, besides 'inventing new life forms' and things like that.]

[...and an awkward silence falls as Professor Pericles realizes something about himself.]

I...am not sure if I have any hobbies...

[Like?? Does scheming count as a hobby??? It probably doesn't, but what other options does he have to choose from]

...I'm not surprised, but that is still a little sad...

[Please get hobbies??]

[He would take offense to that, but honestly?? Very sad, true.]

Do you have any recommendations? The only sing zat comes to mind for vhat I coult try is baking, and I feel as zough I shoult try to do more zan zat.

Baking is a very nice hobby.

[God knows he shouldn't attempt it though.]

I can't say I have a lot of hobbies myself... I press flowers, personally.

[He looks away, a little embarrassed just because he knows that answer is so typical for him.]

Indeet. It is mentally demanding enough zat I shoult continue to find some entertainment in it.

A fair choice, zough I sink I vill pass on it. If I have to find more hobbies, I woult prefer have zem be somesing zat tests my intelligence.

[He won't judge Suga's hobbies-this is a bird that's worked years to release what was basically a demon, he has absolutely no room to judge what people do in their spare time.]

I know we have newspaper puzzles... And some people play chess on the internet, you should be able to do something like that?

[Can't tell you're a bird if you don't have a webcam.]

Chess coult be interesting. If I am able to play wis ozer intelligent beings, it should be more fun zan just battling against a computer constantly.

[Because at some point it would definitely get boring, that much he is sure of.]

I think no one would be able to tell that you were a bird over the internet, so you should be fine...?

True. So long as no vone I play against decides to visit a small village such as zis, zere shoult be no problems.

[He especially doubts that would happen because

/glances at number of disappearances in this village

Instinct, lets call it.]
