~+~Hollow Calls~+~

Intro (Image is not mine) It started as a whisper. Faint, familiar, yet impossible. A voice carried on the wind—soft, broken, repeating words that had never been spoken aloud. At first, people ignored it. A trick of the mind. A misunderstanding. Until the birds kept talking. They sat on power lines, nested in trees, perched on rooftops, murmuring words that shouldn’t belong to them. Not just human voices—specific voices. Loved ones. Strangers. People that had vanished. Someone claimed they heard their own voice coming from a bird outside their window. Others said the voices knew things they shouldn’t. Secrets. Regrets. Fears. Then the pattern emerged. The voices belonged to people who had disappeared. And every night, more voices joined the chorus. A town swallowed in uneasy silence, broken only by the rising whisper of creatures that should not know your name. No one knows where they learned to speak. No one knows what they really are. And now, the birds are watching you. Listening. Waiting. What will you do when they start calling your name? Corporation Responsible for them: Research of Unknown Neurocommunications (R.U.N.) What R.U.N. Did: They experimented with Blue Jays and their mimicking abilities, but it went wrong. VERY wrong. The birds became humanoid and began infecting other birds. What Some People Call the Humanoids: Brutally Infected Reconstructive Decays (B.I.R.D.) Is it Contagious: Yes. Humans can be infected by the first Blue Jays, which stand out for their brutal nature. They are seen brutalizing humans before they leave the bodies to decay and rot into a humanoid version of the last ordinary bird species, prehistoric or not, they saw. B.I.R.D. Appearance: Humanoid, bird-like animals with no arms, just wings. Their talons have been lengthened. The bird grows to around quintuple its original size once infected. (Have fun goodies! Don't mind the voice they're always random!)
