Rating: PG-13 (will change if necessary)
Summary: Nageki just lost his family to a bunch of humans. Now he's surrounded by them and his remaining brother is nowhere in sight.
The Story:

Hallway
Nageki isn't sure how or why it happened, but he must have been kidnapped. Was it because he was the last surviving bird in Hatoful House? The last thing he remembered was the humans who had broken into the Hatoful House. They'd demanded political autonomy in exchange for the lives of his siblings and himself. Nageki hadn't been able to do anything but helplessly watch while his siblings were killed right in front of him. Did the humans want him alive until they escaped the police?

He wastes precious moments frozen, unable to understand what is happening. Until he sees someone. If he sees a humanoid, Nageki panics. He stumbles backward in fright, certain that he's about to die. If he sees a non-humanoid, Nageki desperately says, "Please help me." He needs to escape and find his way back home.

Dining Room
Later Nageki realizes that he can't escape or go back home. But the reality of happened has also begun to sink in.

In the morning, Nageki drags himself to the dining room. He gets food because he knows that he needs to eat, but when it's actually in front of him he finds it difficult to eat it. He just isn't hungry.

Nageki chokes down one or two bites before he feels like he can't eat anymore. The rest of the time he just moves the food around and stares at it as though he can make it disappear through willpower alone.

Library
There was something nearby just a moment ago. You can see Nageki as he ducks between the rows in his attempts to remain out of sight. This place is scary to him and the people in it are scary as well. He's determined to avoid every person the mansion holds.

Sometimes, he'll peek over the top of the bookshelves to see what people are doing or where they are. Or he'll peer around a corner. If Nageki thinks he'll be spotted, though, he'll quickly duck away and stay as quiet as possible in the hopes he'll be ignored.

"It... it's udon." Nageki's still staring at the udon as though it's the most fascinating thing in existence. Eating a bite tells him that it feels and tastes as real as it looks. He pushes the rest of the bowl to Sunburst. "You can eat it."

It's got vegetables and tofu mixed in with the noodles.

[bibliocorn]

Sunburst leans in to give it a cursory sniff, before taking a little bite of it. Just to be safe. After a moment of thoughtful chewing, he nods. "Oooooh that's really good! I can see why you picked it."

[mourning_ghost]

Nageki offers a small smile. "You can eat the rest, too."

He just wanted to see if the food really did magically appear. There's only so long that Nageki can deny his own eyes and he's slowly coming around to the idea that magic does exist.

[bibliocorn]

Sunburst isn't convinced that eating a dove's food is something he should be doing. There seems something inherently wrong in that. "Uh...but aren't you hungry?"

[mourning_ghost]

He is a little hungry. Nageki also feels as though anything he eats will only come up again later. He shakes his head. "I'm fine."

Nageki feels some guilt, knowing that his brother wouldn't like the fact that Nageki is passing up a meal. He reasons to himself that it's only until his stomach feels better.

[bibliocorn]

"Well..if you're sure." Sunburst, even as a foal, has always been good at taking things at face value. So, he'll happily eat the delicious food offering. "It is really good, though."

[mourning_ghost]

"I'm sure." He pushes the bowl closer to Sunburst. "I can get more later now that I know how it works."

He does drink some water while Sunburst eats.

[bibliocorn]

"Oh yeah, you can have as much as you like." Which is one good thing about here. He pauses in his eating for a moment. "Um. Is there anything else you'd like to know?"

[mourning_ghost]

"Is there someone who looks after the children who don't have parents here? Are they any doctors?"

These are both very important questions to Nageki since he is often physically incapable of looking after himself.

[bibliocorn]

"There are adults around, I've seen them. No other ponies or...well bird-people, but they're around," he considers. "I think there's a clinic? So I guess there's doctors, that makes sense."

[mourning_ghost]

"I see..." Well, that's better than no one having medical knowledge. Hopefully the doctors here can do something for birds. There's not much he can do if they can't, though.

"Is there something you want to do?" he asks.

[bibliocorn]

'To go home' would be his first answer. But that doesn't seem to be on the cards for any of them, so- "I really like the library that's here. I've only seen a little of it, but it's huge."

[mourning_ghost]

If there was anything that could have perked Nageki up, that was it. He loves reading.

"You saw it?"

[bibliocorn]

He smiles, MUCH happier with this subject than anything else. "Yeah! It's really neat! Do you wanna see it?"

[mourning_ghost]

"Yeah." Nageki's enthusiasm isn't as obvious as Sunburst's, but the sentiment is the same. "It must have a lot of books in it..."

[bibliocorn]

"Boy, does it!" he's practically hopping from hoof to hoof. "It's got all the books from ALL the worlds. There's so many books there."
