Dialogue
Valencia: Your chickencow god-friend has sent down another request from the high. He is quite a character, isn't he?
Valencia: It seems his sense of musicality is being offended by the interruptions of anthems sung to praise him by his reverential supplicants.
Valencia: He says that he hates to have their choral efforts ruined, and he is requesting you please deal with the noise...
Valencia: by any means necessary... before he loses his temper and turns them into soup for his attendants.
Quest
Back
Raven: *screech* Birdhater! Defiler of fowls! Why are you driving us away from the Mount?
<Character>: The better question is why are you all here and so loud?
Forest Fury: We would never try to time our inter-flock vocalizing to interfere with the regularly-scheduled performances by the Zeuster's Boosters Club
Jungle Fury: Admitting that would be like saying we were trying to drive Zeuster mad with frustration.
Soaring Theemis: We would never intentionally annoy a god who would rather resemble and experiment from a deranged necromancer's shop.
<Character>: *snicker* Ahem. I'm unable to detect sarcasm. Honest. So I will just take your protesting at face value.
<Character>: But the problem remains, you can't go on interrupting the odes sung to glorify Zeuster's goodness, benevolence, power, etc etc etc.
<Character>: He just won't stand for it.
Soaring Theemis: So you're here to take care of the problem?
<Character>: You got it.
Soaring Theemis: But we don't want to stop and there are whole flocks of us and only one of you.
<Character>: True. It'd take quite a while to silence all of you, but my instructions were to take care of the problem "by any means necessary".
Soaring Theemis: Yeah, good luck with that.
<Character>: Well, you're all birds, yes? Yes. And you all sing, right? Right.
<Character>: And you have a problem with Zeuster's ego and his, er, rejection of his bird-ness, so you object to singing followers inflating that ego more?
Soaring Theemis: Pretty much, yes.
Forest Fury: Driving him crazy with frustration was just going to be a bonus!
<Character>: Yes... Well. Have you considered starting a choir of your own?
Soaring Theemis: We could start our own choir?
<Character>: Why, that's an excellent idea.
<Character>: I'm sure such musical birds such as you all obviously are would make up a choir to rival- no, to surpass- the fame of Zeuster's songsters.
Soaring Theemis: Of course we would. Pureblooded birds are far better equipped to music than a group of overambitious barnyard mutants.
<Character>: And what better way to put him in his place than by showing him just what he's missing by rejecting his bird ancestry?
Soaring Theemis: Your logic is flawless!
<Character>: Hmm. You'd need time to practice before you start performing, organize appearances, determine your preferred forms of flattery...
<Character>: It'll be hard to concentrate on all that with all those odes and anthems floating down from up on the Mount.
Soaring Theemis: Good point. A proper concert hall has much better acoustics for practicing than these woods.
<Character>: Oh, definitely.
Forest Fury: Soon Zeuster will be granting us the respect we're due, rejecting his twisted appearance and using our majestic bird-selves as inspiration.
<Character>: Better than as soup.
Raven: Wait, what?
