Thank pointy hat for helping out. Hopefully there is enough soup to satisfy a hatchling, or you'll have to do some hunting to avoid getting nibbled.

You're still kind of disoriented but the kindness is appreciated.

Your host seems to be a bird? Maybe? His head is narrow, as if he was flattened by the sides. The hat gives off gnome vibes. His house seems to be carved out of a tree stump.

"Soup?" you ask.

???: "A mulligan, I think. I forgot what I put in it. Sometimes if something tastes nice, but you don't want to eat the whole thing, it's good to keep it around, and throw it in a pot later.
"Kind of like stories."

You can smell the meaty stew from upon your beddage, and you must admit it does not smell half bad. You also ask if you can help with the soup.

???: "I want some nice spices, but you would be eaten by a bug or stepped on by a hoofed animal probably."

You try to argue, but as you explain, it does come to your mind that you found yourself in this predicament by being carried into a hawk's nest.

???: "I didn't know that; I just thought you looked small."

Well that's just plain rude.

Not sure why we wouldn’t trust his soup. I mean if he wanted to do something he has plenty of time to do between now and when you found you knocked out. Also wonder if the bird will like the soup since they’re probably hungry as well… or will be once they wake up.

You offer to both drink the soup at the same time.

You ask your host who they are.

???: "I think I am a stock broker. Or maybe that was in another story? Am I a lawyer? I'm something. Or maybe I'm not."

You ask him, "Are you not sure?"

???: "No, I'm one-hundred percent certain that i might be a stock broker or a lawyer. Maybe."

What's up with the hat? Is he a gnome? You inquire.

???: "This hat keeps me tethered to this plane.
"I exist in every story--just past the margins. Even when I can't exist, I'm there. Beyond the margin of possibility.
"Surely you can only see me because you are not in a story. Your story hasn't begun yet."

That much is obvious. You haven't been able to start a quest since you got dropped into a hawk's nest. That being said, you would like to return home soon so that you can begin your quest...
After you finish your soup. The soup smells pretty good.
You ask what happens when he takes off the hat.

???: "Spacetime will tear, creating an implosion with the force of ten gigatons of trinitrotoluene."

You gasp. Really?

???: "I don't know. I haven't taken it off in recent memory."

He takes a sip first.

He seems to be taking it just fine, so you pull yourself by the bootstraps and brace.

[SOUP ROLL: 1d6 -> 3]

Truth be told, you had been saving up your name slot for when you start a quest, but if you are going to interact with Treachery, not having a name is going to be increasingly problematic.

So, you introduce yourself.

Spite (You): "My name is Spite."

Treachery: "Oh, of course. You're Spite. I'd recognize that name anywhere."

Spite (You): "I... uh... came up with it just now. Do you know someone else named spite?"

Treachery: "No."

The soup is technically immediately available but Treachery seems to be troubled by the notion of drinking it straight from the pot right now.

Treachery is helplessly attempting to explain to the newborn bird that the potted soup is too hot to drink, as the chick remains shaking the house with its bustling chirps.

The chick is just going to have to wait for it to cool down like everyone else, though. When that time comes a ladder may need to be involved.

Trophallaxis, i.e. mouth-to-mouth feeding, comes to mind with such a young bird, but your mouth is ambiguously small for that.

Amongst the noise, you remember that you still have a dream to chase.

Oh. There's the spot where you and the egg landed. And your tears. -You mean your 'special activated ability.' It's just past the door.

Beyond your crater, you can see your trail, though a few sparkles may have faintly faded. You might want to get going if you want any sense of where your home is.

Hawk: "TSEE-EEEEEEEEE-ARRRR"

The call of the bird shakes you to your core. She was bound to be back at some point.

You really, really want to get back home and start a quest. However, as much as it wrings your heart, there is a real possibility of a vengeful hawk reclaiming her chick and tearing you to shreds.

It is likely a safe bet to stay put for the night.

> that baby needs to be fed or it's going to give away your position.

>>1097398

It also appears that the feeding situation has been graciously handled by Treachery (ladder, soup bowl).

Just the past few minutes have been twisting your stomach about your lackluster home life, insofar that just a blanket and ladder have shown Treachery to be wealthier than you.

Maybe your quest can wait, and you can rear this chick in this safe little shelter.

Spite (You): "Um, Treachery?"

Treachery: "Hello."

Spite (You): "Is it alright if I stay here?"

Treachery: "Well, you are standing where you are. 'here,' perhaps. You tell me if that's alright."

Spite (You): "This is your house... right?"

Treachery: "Ownership is a social sense, like money, beauty, justice, trust, and gender."

Um. Alright.

You take Treachery's ambiguity as an invitation to make this house your own.

You notice a stockpile of boxes towards one end of the room. You make your way over and Treachery does not stop you.

The day's labor weighs heavy on you. This is going to be the last thing you do before you take a nice (non-concussive) snooze.

Trudging through your host's belongings, you exhume a few things of note:

x510 Clubs
Treachery: "Those are Clubs. I figured out how to use these. You hand them to a person, then they decide it belongs to them. After that, they may treat you with a good or a service."
It's currency; you're familiar.
You've never had any but you reckon this is enough to buy, like, one good hat.

x1 Saw
Treachery: "I think that's a remnant from the construction of this fine abode."
And the stain on it?
Treachery: "I cook with what I have on hand."

x1 Orange
Treachery: "A little snack. I picked it yesterday and it looks fine so you may take it if you like. Here's a secret: I've heard good things about orangesauce. It's like applesauce but with oranges."

x1 Skin cream!
Treachery: "You can take that, I guess. I don't have skin. I'm made of pumice and something else."

x11 Birth Certificate
Treachery: "Oh, that's my collection. Sometimes I find them well-hidden, which probably means they're valuable."
>>

An orange to share and birth certificates to snoop through for funny names? Well that's just a fun evening in. Imagine where these people are now.

As for the skin cream, how is your skin? Any rough patches after falling out of a tree? Should check baby hawk too.
