The Great Familiar Audition ⛓ Courtyard ⛓ OTA

"Ah- thank you, but as you can see I have plenty of familiars already," Atem tried to reason with an overambitious owl that had the courtesy of bringing him an enchanted notebook, the kind that students used to magically send messages to one another without using the bulletin board. Upon further inspection, he realized that this one didn't even belong to him. Flipping through a couple of pages, just to identify the true owner, he noticed a few messages that were clearly meant to be private and he slammed the notebook shut, his face a noticeable shade darker. "You take this back where it belongs!" He boomed up at the creature, his voice sounding more intimidating than intended. The owl flapped it's wings a few time, loosening a feather or two before it hastily flew off sans notebook.

"Now what should I do with this....?"

Without much choice he flipped it open, and jotted down a note of his own. "To the recipient of this message, I regret to inform you that this notebook has made it's way into the wrong hands. I'm not sure who this belongs to, but it you would arrange to collect it, you could see it back to the proper owner."

There perfect. Now all he would need to do is wait for a response, and pretend like he hadn't seen any of the contents.

[ooc: I'm leaving the contents of the notebook up to you! It doesn't have to be anything too bad, and it could have just been something taken out of context. Misunderstandings am I right? If you just want to overhear this and try to help Atem out, that would be fine too!]

“Whoa, whoa, whoa! I’m really sorry, little guys,” a rather frazzled English man begs to a group of animals vying for his attention, “As much as I want to take good care of you, I already have a familiar and he’s hiding inside a pocket of my rucksack right now. Can you just find another person to run or fly or slither to?”

While not visible at the moment, panicked hoots from an owl could be heard from the side pocket of the man’s backpack. The poor little owl is having a moment of anxiety over the outpour of familiars all over the school campus.

"Persistent, aren't they?" Noticing the commotion, Atem couldn't help but be drawn to it since he had experienced something similar himself. The animals were all so keen on acquiring masters that they were taking things to extremes. He still had the notebook he'd been given tucked under one arm as he moved closer.

"I had to send one of my one familiars off because he has a terrible jealous streak." Capricius that is. "Also it's even harder to discourage the new applicants if they can see you already have more than one familiar- it's like an open invitation." Horus the golden metallic falcon, remained on Atem's shoulder.

“In any case, I’m sorry to hear about that: these familiars are very eager to find new people who’ll after them,” the man admits to Atem while trying to get a grip on a feisty tabby cat, “My familiar is not used to seeing this many animals gathering around me in a single sitting, that’s why he is hiding inside the rucksack of mine at the moment.”

He couldn’t bear to break the news to them, but man, he really needs to get these animals to behave themselves and not overrun the school. They have to find a way to gather them up and find their owners or their new future owners quickly as they can.
