Man, with Ze getting into the roleplay and the story just starting to move along, I feel bad that I'm leaving the forum at this time. But I'll do a proper send-off for Knuckles. With that said...

I'm not sure! One moment I'm kicking back, then this crazy crash echoes throughout the forest, I lose my coat in a ridiculous windstorm, and then I'm hearing this weird clanking tapping and I'm thinkin', "What the bloody hell could it be?" So I take this spoon, act as if it's a gun to scare whoever's in the room and... eh nobody's coming out as I say this, it's probably just a woodpecker on a propane tank. Ya ever wonder why those things constantly peck like crazy on metal objects? I mean, I heard of dumb birds but come on... those things are ridiculous. Take this ya crazy bird!
*Chucks spoon into the room. It hits something and we hear a hissing*Huh... that doesn't sound like a spoon-induced death.
*Peeks into the bedroom window, sees gas tank spraying*Hmm....
*Looks over to closet and sees a woodpecker at a flare*Nooo!!!
*It pecks**Explosion goes off, putting the home in flames and sending me into a tree that falls over, knocks into another tree that falls over, Branch from the last one snaps off and flies towards the house, taking out a support pole that brings down the roof and causes the chimney to break off and fall smack-dab onto the floor, breaking one end of the floor piece, and causing the other end of the floor piece to fling the now-burnt spoon into the air. The firey spoon soars over the ruined house and goes right into a squirrel hole on the tree behind me that's now leaning against the fallen tree.**Smoke comes out of the hole and screams fill the area as a little squirrel comes out, covered in flames, spreading the flames onto the rest of the tree. The flames engulf a sleeping bird that immediately wakes up, and flies off in panic. It's damaged still-burning wings, though, immediately cause it to twirl beak-first towards a post that's holding up the village sign. The firey bird bastard drills through it, causing the post to break and the sign falls towards me* Gyaagh...ah!!!
*I try to run, and the sign's fall is halted by a protruding branch from the tree behind me. I'm right under the sign and I look at it.Heh.... whew.
*The flames on the tree die out. We hear a swift fluttering of wings and look over to the still-alive woodpecker, covered in soot and slightly charred. It is right on the sign, looks around, lunges its beak towards the post...*Dah crap...
*The post breaks from the pecking, and the sign falls, killing me.*
