Problem Solving and You! - Thursday

The tavern was there once more, but the difference lay in the fact that an old school movie projector was set up in the back. Which seemed normal.

"Movie daaaay!" Magnus said. "That's what you wanted, right?"

"Magnus picked the movie," Cara, who was refusing to acknowledge this latest round island's bullshit, said. "Something about valuable life lessons."

"Also, cartoons interacting with the real world," Magnus added. "Like a Paula Abdul video."

"I'm going to pretend that made sense." Look, even now there were still significant gaps in her pop culture knowledge.

Magnus was getting her there. With his very particular set of pop culture references. "We can watch it later," he promised.

That hadn't been what Cara had intended. "Fine."

Magnus replied with a quiet little, "Yaaaay," as he started the movie.

"There can't be anyone left to reshuffle at this point," Shuri agreed. "Think it got the birds and stuff too?"

The science, Wayne. The science.

That just got Wayne to shift his squint a little so that he was side-eyeing Shuri now instead of just steadfastly squinting forward at the movie and his head tilted back a little.

"Now how'd you suppose you'd go about tryin' to figgur ouwt something like that, anyhow?"

"Gloves and a good app on bird reproductive organs, probably," Shuri said, "and maybe someone who speaks to birds to find out who was different a few days ago."

She'd thought about this, Wayne. It's okay to be scared.

Wayne couldn't seem to avoid this kind of awkwardness about birds this week, apparently.

"We know anyone who can talk to birds?" he asked, since he wasn't too sure about that first part. After all, they'd've already switched, wouldn't they? It's just be a bunch of ruffling feathers.

"I think Keyleth can?" Shuri said. "She seems pretty fluent in squirrel on the radio, at least."

"Well, there ya go, then," said Wayne, with a nod. "Start with havin' Keyleth ask around a bit, if she could. Seems a bit more direct then just goin' around, ruffling feathers. An' more polite."

Shuri grinned. "I'm not normally much for biology," she admitted. "Give me things that don't talk back any day."
