I got tired of being a bird, back to my good old human body :)

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 07/09/2025

Do you need anything to help you calm down from all that, by the way? I could always help try to get some stuff together for you.

No idea, but uh, probably got stuck with a distant relative of the trash crab thats been washing up on the dumpster-esque coastlines. Those things are uh, super radioactive. Doodle Locke should be fine, but they're going to be a natural nightlight for awhile probably.

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 05/09/2025

They are not supposed to glow green. Did you trust them with anything radioactive?

I've dedicated my abilities to try and make the world better, currently it's been for the sake of allowing Bloodfiends to have a food source where they don't have to resort on hunting others to satiate themselves.

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

It's an interesting circumstance for sure, I mean, the fact you were created seemingly from the river is an interesting enough point on its own. Though given my birth comes from a singularity, I'm not exactly a stranger from coming from seemingly nothing.

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

I suppose I could take time to do an analysis of it. *Catalyst takes out a little beaker and fills it halfway with the river water* Alright let's see, looks mostly normal except for the tinged colour. Probably from a substance I'm unfamiliar with.

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

Unfortunate. Oh, I suppose it should be stated that I don't mind you wandering about Yggdrasil now that we're on... better... terms. And it's interesting knowing that you've memorized every part of the place.

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

...Hehe, kinda like the first amphibians... I'll be honest, despite the fact there's pretty much nothing here except the forest itself, forests are always just pretty in their own right, yaknow?

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

It was nice seeing you two again. I'm gonna escort Bird back to Carmesi. *Catalyst nods to themself before following Bird out*

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

...Uh, Bird? I used the exact same explanation as they did. Like yeah I know it pissed you off and all, but as I told you at the forest, the reasoning wasn't the best in hindsight but it was what was decided upon.

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

I was just fine to see two good friends again, honestly. ...By the way unlike this one here I never sacrificed sight.

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

Hello again. *Friendly wing-wave* It's me, Catalyst. I fought the bird and got them to see they were being uh, well, kinda a massive jerk.

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

But sure, we can go handle the other stuff then go see how Carmesi reacts to two birds.

110

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

Yeah that's exactly why I want to hold onto Twilight for a bit, yaknow, just until you're in a better place mentally for a bit. Pretty sure you were somehow corroding from it despite being 1/3 of it.

110

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

Very well, I will accompany you until we eventually choose to go back to Carmesi's place. ...I'll be honest I just want to know how she'd react to seeing two of you walk into a room.

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

Partner works for now. Uh, we should probably return to Carmesi and fill her in on whats been going on.

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

*Catalyst takes some blue glitter glue and glues the weight on* There we are. That should do the trick.

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

*Catalyst shakes the Bird's hand, before creating a small weight and placing it onto their scale, sticking it to the smaller side so that the scale would balance out once more* There we are, a temporary fix sure, but we'll finalize that later on if you'd like.

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

It seems we are in agreement, then. For your own closure, if our bond is broken, I will not question your duties in the future and allow you to act as you please so long as it does not directly harm me or those I am close to.

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

I suppose that is a fair compromise from my side, but in return I would like for you to attempt to use a truly fair and just scale once more, one that does not have a single pre-determined outcome. Truthfully for most in the city it wouldn't change much, but it would spare the few innocents

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

as well as the person that Carmesi see's in you that I time and time again have failed to. You became my Beast, bird, and I became yours in kind, but we don't have to keep that up anymore. So, are you willing to give up this path of wrath and work towards a better future once more?

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

am willing to bury the hatchet and move forwards to help keep your forest safe if you are willing to let go and accept my help, too. You make me angry sometimes with your actions, that likely won't change, but I still want you to prove me wrong by being the Guardian you say you are,

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

If you abandon this path of wrath you are walking down, if you decide to let this one thing go, and move forwards instead of dwelling on it. Next time something bad happens, I'll be sure to notify you in the future and grab you to help out. Alright? I'm beginning to find our rivalry fruitless and

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

...In hindsight, I assume your actions are once again caused by that same fear from back then. You want to keep the peace still, but you felt as though everyone neglected you thinking you weren't enough on your own, not worth the effort to bring along. I'll make a promise to you, Bird.

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

you'll see that those trees are more intertwined with one another than you would initially be lead to believe. Even here, as stagnant as it is, used to be a peaceful place and you and your co-workers tried harder than anyone to keep it peaceful, but you all fell to paranoia and fear.

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

You're right that we should have gotten you involved, I will concede on that, but this kind of action isn't going to help anybody. Carmesi was already willing to strike against you because you hurt the people she cared about, Bird. If you view the connections people has as their "Forests", well...

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

Bird, you're not weak. Hell, our fight kinda showed that. You did a pretty good number on me. The problem is that The Thumb and the other Fingers have a massive hold over The City, and with them gone, it'll only cause a power vacuum where someone worse will take over. We can't brute force change.

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

I have enough colour to continue to take your attacks and fight for awhile, Bird. And I want you to improve and be the person that Carmesi see's in you that I couldn't. If you keep acting soley on your wrath, you're only going to end up alone again in another place with no sun, moon, or beast.

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

I apologize for the fact nobody told you sooner, bird. But we needed to stay low for her safety. If you really wish to continue venting I'll allow us to fight again, but you need to understand that none of us are your enemies here, simply people who did what we had to to keep our "forest" safe.

130

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

You may not see us as protectors, but without me and the efforts of the people you attacked earlier, bird, Carmesi would've died. We didn't tell you because it was dangerous for really any of us to be walking around when The Thumb would put targets on us, especially her.

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

Why do you feel the need to be Carmesi's sole protector, if I may ask? You know that when there was the three of you, you stretched yourselves too thin. Carmesi has several people to help look out for her, You, Me, Cheshyre, Ares and more. Hell, I was the one who rescued her from The Thumb at first.

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

... It'd be best if you remained without it, Bird. *Catalyst stands to their feet and hands their wing to the bird to help them up* You were willing to tear apart everything you worked towards, causing your love life with your wife to be in the same stagnant state as it is here.

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

colour she drained prior to the encounter, so that both may be at their peak when the bird returns and they may speak without The Beast's influence over them*

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

After all, they have a new forest to protect, and your influence has only raised darkness there as well. You will not tempt me to darken my own forest, either. I will protect others in my own way. *She sighs, roosting next to the bird while slowly recovering from her injuries herself with her

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

I know full well your actions only caused more harm than good. If I were to act as you did, I too would only lead to turn my own forests to lands of eternal twilight just as what has transpired here. But I cannot allow your influence to affect one of your components any longer.

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

the voices the weapons spoke made Catalyst think for a moment, she knew the actions the birds took were all for their perceived greater good, to protect others and their home. She let out a small chuckle before speaking* Blade of The Beast, your voices do not fall on deaf ears, but

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

Bird's significantly more drastic change of character, and limped over to pick it up, where she was immediately hit with the cacophony of the three bird's voices in her head and the surge of power through the weapon. She looked about the forest, then back at the blade, then focused on the voices

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

*Catalyst got ragdolled by the corresponding attack, after a few moments she struggled to her talons as she shook her head, she knows that attack dealt more damage than she was expecting, but she knew that this wasn't ending just yet. She looked at Twilight, the sword behind

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

to shy away from this terrible weapon they found themself enamored with, to thrust that power away and recognize that their new forest has guardians of its own to help keep her safe.

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

lower, their far-sighted eyes blinded, and their mouth that devours everything to be forced shut. Allow this tale to come to a close before the next forest, the one they hold dearest to themself, falls to ruin just as this one has. Allow this Beast to recognize the old Guardian they were,

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

Creatures screamed in terror and fear at the sight of the bird, and the forest soon fell into mayhem. Then, in the middle of all the chaotic cries, someone shouted: 'It's the beast! A big, scary monster lives in the black, dusky forest!' " May this beast's head that used to look to the cosmos

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

"The day when Big Bird's eyes that could see hundreds of kilometers away, Long Bird who could judge any sin, and Small Bird's mouth that could devour everything united into one, darkness fell upon the forest.

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

Catalyst turns back into Judgement Bird, sending out another ring of judgement with her scale, then sharpens her wing to a point, wedging it into the fellow avian's chest delivering several PALE damage explosions throughout the bird's body and launching them back*

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

*Catalyst transforms into Punishing Bird for a moment to avoid being damaged further, tearing apart her stomach to mimic the tearing attack that Punishing Bird does at close range, afterwards, Catalyst took the form of Big Bird to then bite down hard on the bird's dominant arm, then

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

And now, the Beast lost even the desire to protect the denizens of The Forest, single-minded only to doll out unfair judgements. *Catalyst raised one of her wings before throwing several rainbow lightning bolts into the direction Big Bird was looking to hit Judgement Bird*

120

Catalyst, The Doodle King @catalystarbiter.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

"Judgement Bird was once a guardian of the forest. However, it forgot one of the most important things, as it was singleminded in protecting the creatures." *Catalyst looks to Big Bird, who was continuing to eye Judgement Bird, unable to escape the duplicate's sight that matched the original's*
