I DON'T OWN KFP
WHAT IT IS
The place was quite lively around this time of the day... The sun was starting to lower, giving some shade along the western walls of the complex and multiples hangars where a large variety of aircrafts were stationed and in maintenance, judging by the few technicians petting a jet from one of the half open hangar doors. A pig seemed to be quite passionate while fixing the engine, covered in grease. A flash cached his attention; a goose weld pieces of the cover, the damaged one on the floor. The pig seemed to yell something at the welding goose, which waved a thumbs up before returning to his task. A thoughtful figure stood in front of the opening.
"Even if some of us can fly, they needed to invent this THING..." Sighed the figure in thought.
He shaked his head to remember himself why he was here... It hardly has been few minutes since he entered these grounds. Some dollys carrying pieces were passing by from time to time, pilots were training over the military zone, others were still grounded, technicians explaining few things that couldn't be in the simulation room, revising as well the state of the planes.
On the right, there were a handful containers being unloaded in the warehouse. A boar lost his balance, dropping two heavy boxes, crashing open the one he was carrying on his shoulder. A load of guns clanked on the floor, drawing the eyes of his coworkers on him. A goat who seemed to be his superior came out of the open double door with a furious grin.
"Private Xiao, i suggest that you clean your mess and fast, if you don't want to be on peeling duty tonight!" Almost yelled the goat. Before disappearing through the door, she turned and said "And next time, think twice before trying to take more than you can..."
"Some people REALLY need to stress down..." despised mentally our 'hero', even if he didn't calls himself like that, pursuing his walk through the base.
He walked in the walkway in the end of the runway, he heard a loud whirring. Suddenly a shadow surprised him, surrounding him. Our friend crouched, panickly looking around when he sees the origin of this event. One of the jets landed before him, few yards away, closely missed the end runway lights. He gets up slowly, trying to slow his racing heart. That was the first time he was so close of an aircraft, let alone the only thing making a tantrum while flying. He knew that he wasn't as quiet as an owl, but still, compared to these engines, he might be as one... the thought of it make him slightly smile while a chuckle make way out of his lungs.
He dusted off his feathers, then quietly stood there, thinking on how things might've been in the past, while the jet exits the runway to park. His bright red eyes followed another aircraft entered the tarmac while he continued his walk between two end light panels, the 2nd and 3rd rows from the end of the runway by the look of it… Half-way from the other end, there is a cargo plane facing away from our man, back hatch opening wide with crew members approaching to install car ramps, while a platoon-like group of bulls and buffaloes drag heavy boxes on wheeled skids.
A strong honking suddenly surprised our winged friend, who jumped to the side of the road as he sees a jeep followed by armored vehicles and tanks. "Get out of the way!" howled a moose on the jeep, but the roaring of the vehicles masked what was said after. One of our protagonist's black feathery eyebrows rose in an incomprehension look, his beak open, mouthing a "what" that only he could hear. Rhino's heads who stands in the hatches of the tanks glares at him, some grinning, others laughing between them. Then he frowned and raised his head, stretching back his long neck, seeing the convoy heading for the cargo plane. He shook his head in astonishment that these creatures were so stupid. For himself, he valued more the intelligence. Of course, he knew how to fight, but he preferred to be smart and win without fighting. Well, like they said; "Before the battle of the body, comes the battle of the mind".
Deep in thought, he passed from the airport base to the main base. After few minutes, he saw a public bus pass on the road outside the ground limits of the base. Another bus from the line he've taken to come here. Glaring the bus slowing further, he groaned when he sees it stop at a bus stop, taking those who waited there and leaving those who unboarded.
"I should've waited for the next stop..." He said himself, closing hard his eyes, dropping his head in his right wing desperately.
Quickly regaining his composure when he heard his name, he eyed perplexly the goose who called him. Though he was racing from the entrance a little frantically while muttering under his breath exasperated, his uniform was well-kept, straight and sober, but quite different from the others. It was mostly black, but with large yellow stripes along the extremities and the sewing lines, a green belt where hanged few office tools. The overall were a camo style uniform and a hat... "What kind of hat is that?" he thought.
"Well there you are!" Said the Dark gray feathered goose. "Where have you been? I awaited you for almost an hour!" He agitated his wings around him. "You were supposed to be here at the main entrance by 1300 hours!"
-1300h = 1:00h pm. So you'll know.-
"I got down at the wrong stop, i found myself at the other end of this... base." Said our hero rolling his eyes, then taking a menacing tone "You really should precise it next time, Zeng!"
Zeng backed away few steps, trembling nervously at the hidden threat. Nonetheless, the goose lifted up a feathery index and said, trying to sound unimpressed without success "We... Well, check up the way next time, the maps shows where to take... the..." The phrase died in his throat as his interlocutor towered over him. He coughed then turned away slowly "We should get going, shall we?" The goose invited the new face to follow him.
They both taken an alley bordered on both sides by palm trees and generous bushes on median strip with straight mowed grass. Our protagonist let a haughty smile appear on his face as he sees a group of tree snakes and a tree frog looking intriguingly at him. Even if he was unique, he was proud of his pale feathers.
In the surrounding area, they could see garages all along on the left side of the main road, some back doors open showing maintenance and storage of the wheeled vehicles. On their right, there was nice-looking barracks. It seems to have a whole lot of those, judging by the length of the median roads between each couples of buildings. It didn't seemed to have a training ground, remarked the newly engaged bird.
"You don't talk much, do you?" Remarked Zeng when they arrived at the bottom of a rather large stairs.
"Only if i need to." Answered the interested party, cutting short the conversation, grimacing at the hill the main building was sitting on, at the end of the stoned stairs, while the goose started to sheerily climb the stairs. When they finally arrived at the top, Zeng hold the door for his 'client' who entered, eyeballing every way to see all the expositions in the hall. The hall were around a 100 feet in width and about 300 feet long, punctured by 5 pairs of orned pillars. Some expositions seemed really old, like the dull-red armor of a rhino covered of battle damages, a light green double edged sword with a carved chinese dragon, and a white porcelain vase with an army of wolves painted on it. There were restored paintings along the walls over some expositions. One seemed to catch his attention, as thought there were nothing on the supports, like another who supported a curved stick, who divided in an half circle on one end.
"Well then, i'll let you start your introduction journey. Just go on the counter and they'll tell you where to go." Greeted Zeng before walking back towards the frond door, then add over his shoulder "Oh, by the way, i'm in charge of the supplying and the animal resources, so if you need anything, my office is next to the stairs on the second floor."
Our protagonist waved as a thanks, then walked to the counter "Excuse-me..."
"May i help you?" Asked one of the bunnies who worked in the counter without raising her head from the screen.
"Yeah, i've just been walked through by Zeng..."
"New applicant?"
"Of course!"
"I'll need your name, please?" Asked the bunny, looking at the white peacock before her.
"Shen."
That's it for the introduction, lot of description, so i won't ask you to say when you guessed the main character right, it was meant to stay hidden to the last moment. So i hope you liked it, and be there next time!
