No one has witten in a while, I see. Well, I suppose I'll tell you of one of my adventures, then!
It was a cold day. Rain was slowly falling on my window, and I tapped my fingers on the table anxiously. It's getting late. Where is he?
Suddenly, there was a tapping on the door. I opened it, cautiously at first, and then all the way when I saw it was my friend J.C., tapping at the door with her beak.
"Tip, what are you doing out there? Don't you know that it's a lot colder for hummingbirds then it is for humans?" I said over the storm.
"What?"
I repeated what I said, but she still didn't hear me. I guess it sounded like a cyclone for the sharp ears of a hummingbird.
"Come in," I said, and showed her the way inside. She nodded at me gratefully, and I closed the door.
"What's for dinner?" J.C. asked, settling down on the table. "I'm starved."
After a full meal of necter, J.C. leaned back into the pillow that I had set out for her and gave a sigh of contentmant. "Ah. This is nice."
I sighed in frustration, and looked out the window for the thirdy millionth time. "Where is he?"
"Who?" J.C. said innocently.
"Mr. Fanman, he's supposed to bring me a message from HQ, but he hasn't come.
"Fanman?" J.C. said hesitantly. "As in...tall thin guy with scraggly hair and the begginings of a mustache, late fourty's?
I looked at her curiously. "That's the one."
"Oh..." J.C. trailed off, and then sat up smartly. "Let's just pretend that I didn't spend the whole time eating and not doing anything, okay?"
I looked at her, mystified. "What?"
"Please?" She asked. "Ahem. Joelle Carman (call me J.C. at your service. I am the messanger of Abe Fanman, and I have come to deliver a message."
"You've got to be kidding me..."
"I have the message right here-he wouldn't let me read it."
As annoyed as I was at J.C., I had to forget about that and read the message. J.C. handed me a tiny little scroll, and I unraveled it.
Selene,
Hopefully Joelle will have delivered this to you safely and soundly.
I would have come to you directly, but certain curcumstances have led to otherwise. I have found this message incripted in a wall close to a large villian hideout, and I was wondering if you could figure it out.
