[It's a bit conflicting for a thief of the truth to come to terms with that reality; sure, people deserved to know the truth, but from what she has learned since inheriting the title, it's true. Even the Yatagarasu itself turned out to be shrouded in secrets.]

It will. Hmm, I remember mentioning it to Will once when we were talking about privacy and how the government could still try and break into our private filters...a crow network could come in handy.

[lyingheart]

... Anything outside their control will. But be careful. You don't want to make yourself seem like a threat that you aren't... and if a network relies on one key component to work, there's always a danger of it collapsing. That's a problem you may want to put your mind toward solving, before going forward.

[ Just another thought from someone who usually plays it close to the vest Information exchange is dangerous, after all. ]

[yatagarasu]

I gotta admit, I am worried about the crows. [Will thought it was a good idea, Haru just likes the crows in general, and many of her friends were getting used to having them around...sort of...]

I wish I could give them powers or make them think like humans a bit more, but I can't do those.

[lyingheart]

You can offer them skills... or the training to have a response they can understand ready if things get threatening. Like you can with any animals you work with long enough.

[yatagarasu]

They already know how to deal with, say, the monsters from Lucifer's attack. But I guess I still have to work with them.

[lyingheart]

Learning how to handle people might be worthwhile. Those poor... creatures Lucifer created weren't in control of themselves in the way that will be most dangerous. It's not the obvious monsters that take you by surprise.

[yatagarasu]

[Kay nods, raising a hand to tug idly at some of her bangs.]

They recognize friends and can help me find them, but I've never set them on people. As...y'know, an army.

[lyingheart]

I wouldn't suggest starting... learning how to identify guns or things that can hurt them so they can get away, or to identify when someone or something's following them, that's what I was thinking.

[yatagarasu]

Some people like them and might follow them just because they want to, not to kill them, though...and I think they can already recognize slingshots.

[Kay has had to keep unscrupulous kids from taking aim at her precious babies.]

[lyingheart]

That's a starting place. Besides... there's no reason for anyone to follow any of them right now outside of curiosity. It's always going to be a factor, especially if they look like they're carrying anything.

[yatagarasu]

That's just a matter of placing the container just so it doesn't look obvious on its leg, right?

[lyingheart]

Mm, and making sure it doesn't catch the light, yes.

[yatagarasu]

[She nods vigorously.]

We might have to do some practice runs. Or rather, flights.

[lyingheart]

[ She inclines her head toward Kay. ]

Practice is beneficial. You can see about getting a few of the people you know to help, to have destinations in mind once you're past the initial practicing.

[yatagarasu]

[Kay glances at the box...and then at Annie.]

...If I ever get to that, will you help?
