what’s about
Introducing Johnny, a village-bred pigeon with dreams bigger than his wingspan! Born and raised with his loving mother, he’s decided to spread his wings and become one of the world’s greatest carrier pigeons. Cue the dramatic exit from the nest!
With a touch of divine intervention from the Holy Spirit (because, why not?), Johnny found his way into the chaotic world of Winkie’s air mail. This bustling avian office is ruled by the pint-sized, hot-tempered Frank, who manages his sketchy business with the help of his beautiful daughter Isabella, the “not yet out of the closet” son Roy, the mysterious Russian janitor Victor, the “bitchy” Stuart, and the 1% business owner Daisy. It’s like a soap opera, but with feathers!
Our cast also includes a Catholic pigeon Father for all your religious needs and an African, colorful, one-legged pigeon who’s here to expand our stories to unexpected heights or depths or directions. And let’s not forget the sparrows – the consumable characters of our avian adventures.
Now, brace yourself – these pigeons won’t be mingling with the city’s non-feathered inhabitants directly. Unless, of course, the story demands it. Because in this feathered fiesta, anything is possible!
Characters
Johnny
The greatest ambition in the shitty position.
Welcome to the wild, wacky world of Johnny – our feathered underdog in the family nest! Imagine this: Johnny, the lone wolf working in a family business where everyone’s got kin in the coop. He’s the outsider with a dream bigger than his wingspan – he’s on a mission to be the pigeon of the people, the carrier pigeon extraordinaire!
Johnny’s dad flew the coop years ago, supposedly to fetch some bird seeds, and well, let’s just say he’s still working on his return flight. Talk about commitment to snacks!
But back to Johnny – before he can strap on the prestigious carrier bag, he’s got to navigate through a labyrinth of mundane tasks scattered all over the company. Translation: he’s going to shovel more pigeon poop than you can shake a feather at!
Join us on this epic tale of a pigeon with dreams bigger than his birdbrain and a determination to rise above the pecking order. Will Johnny soar to greatness, or will he be buried in a mountain of bird business blues? Fly on in to find out!
From being bullied at school to mobbing at work in 8 simple steps.
Frank, the big cheese of the family and the company. Frank inherited the family’s “Snail Mail Express” business, which, thanks to stubborn technology and time that moves slower than Frank’s decisions, hasn’t delivered mail since the carrier pigeon era. To spice things up and combat the yawns, Frank decided to give the family business a thrilling twist in the direction of organized chaos.
Meet Fast-and-Furious Frank, the maestro of quick-tempered decision-making. His decisions are like a rollercoaster – exciting for a moment, then everyone wonders why they got on this ride. Poor choices abound, and guess who gets the front-row seat to disaster? That’s right, poor Johnny, the unsung hero of the family drama.
Frank’s got a three-tier personality cake. With clients, he’s sweeter than candy, with close family, he’s all warm and fuzzy, but with the rest of the employees, he’s the tyrant who thinks the office is his personal fiefdom.
Frank
Isabella
#feminism #womenempowerment #methree
Isabella, the daughter of Frank, is the brainiac of the family business and the smartest pigeon on the block. Despite her ambitions, skills, and the fact that she’s Frank’s favorite, Daddy-o won’t let her take the reins of the company. Why, you ask? Well, apparently, being a lady pigeon disqualifies her from being a business maven. She’s stuck as the head of administration, occasionally delivering tiny packages.
She’s got her eyes set on the business sky, but dear old dad thinks a female pigeon’s place is strictly in administration, not at the helm. Talk about outdated business policies! And to add a dash of romance to the corporate coop, John has been smitten with her since day one.
If you’ll join me in my cock-pit I’ll fly you to your homo … I mean home.
Get ready to meet Roy, the impending ruler of the family business – Frank’s muscle-packed, air-headed eldest son. Picture this: a body sculpted like a Greek god, but a brain that’s on vacation more often than the office coffee machine.
Now, here’s the twist – Roy’s closet is about as open as a birdcage at noon. Unbeknownst to dear old dad, he’s not just an heir to the company; he’s a proud card-carrying member of the fabulous club. Everyone else is in on the secret – except Frank, who’s still hoping Roy will learn how to tie a tie.
Frank’s got dreams of a legacy, but little does he know that his star child would probably lose the company in an underground dice game faster than you can say “feathered fiasco.” It’s like handing the keys to a Ferrari to someone who thinks it’s a hot dog stand.
And speaking of speed, Roy is the Usain Bolt of carrier pigeons, breaking company speed records left and right. Rumor has it he’s on a “special diet” involving substances that may or may not be legal. It’s like watching a pigeon version of the Tour de France, but with more feathers and fewer drug tests.
Roy
Daisy
Rouses arrr red, vajlets are vajlet.
Meet Daisy, the 1% business owner that even Frank can’t shake loose – and trust us, he’s tried. Now, Daisy might not win any medals in the flying, walking, or sitting departments. Picture a bird attempting ballet after one too many espresso shots – that’s Daisy. But fear not, she’s got solutions for everything. Are they the right solutions? Well, that’s a different story.
Oh, did we mention Daisy is not just any business owner? She’s 1% owner who defies gravity in more ways than one. She’s also Frank’s wife’s sister – the familial factor in the business equation. Frank’s attempts to let her go are about as successful as teaching a goldfish to tap dance.
Will Frank find a way to prune this business shenanigans, or will Daisy continue to bloom in the boardroom like a daisy in a sea of thorns?
mmm…
Meet Victor, the company’s mysterious groundskeeper who has been around longer than the office coffee stains. His tenure is so ancient that even the office plants consider him a relic. Rumor has it he predates the invention of the fax machine, and that’s saying something!
Now, whether Victor is a distant cousin or just a long-lost member of the janitorial dynasty remains one of the great unsolved mysteries. Why? Because asking him directly is about as terrifying as asking a cat if it wants a bath. Victor’s got a Russian accent that could make a bear turn back and run, and his silence speaks louder than a mime on a megaphone.
Join us in the enigma that is Victor’s world, where the only thing scarier than his silence is the uncertainty of what happened to the office stapler. Will we ever unlock the secrets of Victor’s past, or will we continue to tiptoe around him like he’s the office ghost with a lawnmower
Victor
Stuart
A friend in deed is a friend I need
Meet Stuart, the second brother-in-law of Frank’s cold-blooded cousin on his mother’s side. Stuart wears more degrees than a penguin has feathers, with a curriculum vitae that includes prestigious institutions like Harbard (not Harvard), Dale (not Yale), and Stranford (not Stanford). We’re not sure where these places are, but Stuart assures us they’re top-notch.
As Frank’s financial advisor, Stuart boasts an informal education that’s as unconventional as a cat riding a unicycle. Despite his impressive academic collection, he’s the kind of guy who thinks a Roth IRA is a fancy cocktail.
Interestingly, whenever the company hits a speed bump, Stuart magically appears like a financial wizard in a bad sitcom. He can pinpoint the problem with the precision of a sleep-deprived ninja. Who’s at fault? Well, according to Stuart’s highly scientific gut feeling, it’s always someone nearby, or at least someone who might be nearby.
The Holy Spirit grows within thee, and so do I.
Meet Father, the urban clergyman who has a unique way of preaching about the Holy Spirit. He’s all about that first pigeon, the OG bird that supposedly subjugated humanity, starting from Noah’s Ark and beyond. Forget biblical floods; we’re talking pigeon power moves!
Father’s got a soft spot for John. In fact, he’s more excited about John’s eggshell than a kid in a candy store. Why, you ask? Well, the mysteries of Dad’s enthusiasm are as deep as a pigeon’s love for breadcrumbs. Maybe John’s eggshell holds the secrets to the universe, or perhaps it’s just a really exceptional eggshell.
Father
Sparrows
We die a lot 🙁
These little guys have met their maker more times than a cat with nine lives and a penchant for mischief. The pigeon’s ever-subordinate minions (aka, the avian slaves). These little guys are like the sidekicks in a superhero movie, except instead of getting cool gadgets, they get… well, frequent demise. They’re our consumable characters, the feathered daredevils who take a tumble whenever the plot needs a good shake. They’re not just characters; they’re the stunt doubles of the avian world. If there’s a dramatic fall, a sudden swoop, or a wing-flapping fiasco, you can bet your birdseed it’s a sparrow stealing the show. But hey, don’t shed too many tears for our sparrow friends – they signed up for this! They’re the unsung heroes of avian antics, the dying characters who sacrifice themselves for the sake of a good laugh.
